Chapter 122 Demon Sword
Chapter 122 Demon Sword
Ma Xianhong cannot guarantee whether his grandfather's cognition has been altered.
Perhaps it was his trust in Qu Tong over the years that made him unwilling to doubt her, and he couldn't say for sure whether Qu Tong's double-handedness had any influence on this.
But the only thing Ma Xianhong was certain of was that Majia Village was indeed attacked by a group of unidentified people. As for whether these people were Qu Tong, that was another matter.
Ma Xianhong couldn't say for sure either.
Consider it a way of repaying Qu Tong for saving Majia Village. Ma Xianhong decided to help her out, since it was just providing her with some magical artifacts, which wouldn't be a difficult thing for him.
Qu Tong, seemingly surprised by Ma Xianhong's words, fell silent on the other end of the phone, a rare occurrence for her.
Of course, Ma Xianhong's help was not entirely free.
"Sister, you have to restore the memories of Majia Village and me that were altered."
Qu Tong on the other end of the phone did not object. "It might not be possible in the short term. I am currently wanted by the All-Tong people. There are definitely people in Majia Village watching me. Once things have calmed down, I will restore Majia Village and your memories."
After receiving a definite answer, Ma Xianhong was not in a hurry to immediately regain his memory.
As long as he knows that his people are still safe, that's enough for him.
……
Inside a cave in Northeast China.
Qin Le remotely controlled his puppet, watching the scene inside the cave with great interest.
"Hey, I've found something interesting."
Inside the cave lay two skeletons, with a wood-chopping knife hanging from the head of one of the skulls.
Beside the skeleton lay a Japanese longsword!
This sword is none other than the legendary demon sword, "Hirumaru".
"I've been looking for so long, and I never thought I'd actually find it."
Qin Le produced an introductory video for the Quanxing (Quanxing) community, mentioning the past experiences of several well-known Quanxing figures, including Wu Gensheng, Liang Ting, Wu Manjushi, and Xia Liuqing.
After that, they continued to send puppets to the Northeast to record the battle between the Tang Clan and the Bihe Ninja in the Toutian Cave!
Eita Nikaido, who was a "demon," also participated in that battle. However, he did not die directly in the cave; instead, he escaped with the demon sword.
He was eventually killed in the cave by a little girl with a rusty machete.
The demon sword "Hiruma" was left in the cave.
Normally, a few explorers would have stumbled into the cave and picked up the demon sword shortly afterward.
However, Qin Le has already snatched it away!
Qin Le controlled the puppet to pick up the demon sword on the ground. If a person had picked up the demon sword, the evil spirit residing inside would have directly invaded his mind.
Logically speaking, Qin Le's puppet should be a mechanical puppet, lacking human characteristics, so the evil spirit of the demon sword should have no effect on it.
But to his surprise, the moment the puppet picked up the demon sword, a unique energy still invaded the puppet's body, attempting to seize control of the Qin Le puppet.
However, the puppet was controlled remotely by Qin Le through Qi. The demon sword could not be used to influence a person's mind and thus seize control of the wielder's body in the same way it could with a person.
Qin Le, who was far away, was completely unaffected by the demonic blade, let alone having his control of the puppet taken away.
"This demon sword looks quite interesting. If I release control of the puppet, can it really regain its ability to move through the puppet?"
Qin Le found the Demon Blade's performance quite interesting, and he was curious whether the Demon Blade could possess a puppet and gain a new life.
If possible, wouldn't that be equivalent to reviving the soul inside the demon sword?
Having a body that you can completely control, and having all your memories preserved, is no different from being reborn.
Upon realizing this, Qin Le immediately severed some control over the puppet, leaving only the last core area.
Without Qin Le's protection, the demon sword Hirumaru's soul immediately invaded the doll's interior, and the doll, which had been drooping due to loss of control, stood up again.
Qin Le watched as Hirumaru controlled the puppet, constantly waving the sword in his hand and making its body run back and forth.
The demon sword Hirumaru actually regained his mobility using only the puppet!
Hirumaru stared in disbelief at his new body, never expecting to see the light of day again!
Moreover, it wasn't resurrected while being controlled by someone.
Hirumaru possesses the ability to control the wielder of the sword, but this is only possible if the wielder completely releases their body.
The demon sword has certain inherent requirements for its wielder. If the wielder is not strong enough, the demon sword will absorb his blood and kill him.
The only people Hirumamaru had ever encountered who were qualified to wield his sword were either "demons" chosen from the Higanbana ninja.
These people are after his power and want to directly control all of his power through carefully trained "demons." He cannot gain the ability to act freely; he can only influence the actions of the "demons" to a certain extent.
Even if the "demon's" soul is not enough to control him, he and the "demon" will argue over the issue of controlling the body, and neither of them can gain the ability to control the body.
Aside from being a "demon," he was either picked up by the "sword wielder" of the Ishikawa school.
In order to destroy him, the people of the Ishikawa school would select a special "sword bearer" from within the school to sacrifice their body to him. At this time, Hirumaru would have complete control over his body.
However, Ishikawa Ryu did this in order to choose the strongest swordsman in the sect to fight against him and find an opportunity to directly defeat Hirumaru.
Although this coincides with his goal of fighting against a master swordsman.
However, if the strongest swordsman in the Ishikawa school fails to defeat him, those who are already prepared will attack him by any means necessary, even killing the sacrificers to retrieve Hiruma.
He never gained true freedom.
The moment he took control of the puppet, it was the first time that Hirumaru truly felt that he had regained life!
Since dolls are not living beings and have no blood, the demon sword will not damage the doll's body by absorbing blood.
The doll has no soul, nor does it have a second soul within it to compete for control.
Just as Hiruma was overjoyed and preparing to go beyond the world to compete with the world's best swordsmen, he suddenly felt that he was being rapidly stripped of control of his body!
This is precisely Qin Le regaining control of the puppet.
Qin Le, as the owner of the doll, has the ability to take the doll back at any time.
Hirumaru felt the power rapidly disappearing from his body and pleaded loudly as if yearning for something more.
"Please don't take your body back! Lend me your body for a while! Just a little while! I only want to have a duel with a true swordsman!"
