In this world, no one can beat him except Gu Xun, who is in perfect condition.
Although when it comes to other masters, he will say that they are not inferior to him, but really... that's all, if you really think about it, just wait to be beaten.
But now that he is in a severely residual health state, he has not changed much. He is still unable to defeat anyone, but it is just the other way around.
In this state, he didn't need to think too much. After all, the injury could not be recovered instantly, and he was on the opponent's territory, so he just took it one step at a time.
After reminding Gai Nie, Master Xu turned his attention to Chen He... and the Ben Lei Sword behind his back.
This time he didn't try to use his energy to activate the sword like he did with the Yuan Hong Sword.
The secondary reason was that it was impolite to do so. Yuan Hong was his mother's legacy, so it was understandable that he would seize the sword without permission, but Ben Lei Sword had nothing to do with him.
And the main reason is that he can't do it.
Master Xu is a standard swordsmith, and swordmaking is not an easy job. It requires high physical fitness, so he practices martial arts.
However, its use is limited to strengthening the body.
To be more specific, the pure inner martial arts are not bad, so he can use his true energy to attract Yuan Hong. Of course, this is also because Gai Nie deliberately condoned it and did not stop it (or it is not convenient for him to stop it at the moment).
His actual fighting ability is not as good as Duan Murong, and he can only fight against the fifth scum.
However, the inability to activate the Thunder Sword has nothing to do with combat effectiveness. The main reason is that the Thunder Sword is too heavy.
A handful of Ben Lei weighs tens of kilograms, which is more than ten Yuan Hongs. If you want to move an object of this weight in the air... to put it simply, no one in the world except Gu Xun can do it.
The Master of the Seven Swords can command his own sword at will because the skills are consistent and he can do it with ease. Others obviously do not have this treatment, unless they can cultivate their internal skills to the level of those top masters in the animal world.
Speaking of which, Master Xu can be said to have a love-hate relationship with Snow Girl's Blue Light Sword.
This sword was of excellent quality, with unique properties and materials and craftsmanship that he had never heard of before. It was undoubtedly a coveted treasure for a swordsmith.
But the problem is that he has studied the Qingguang Sword for a long time, but he has not come up with any clues.
He has never been able to restore the unique casting process, and he cannot analyze the specific source of the rare forging materials, and he cannot even find materials with similar properties.

Later, he heard from Xue Nu that the Rain Flower Sword in Duan Murong's hand was one of the "Seven Swords" that came from the same source as the Qingguang Sword. He went to Duan Murong specifically to study her Rain Flower Sword.
The final conclusion reached was also inconclusive.
Except for the very different nature of the sword and the Qingguang Sword, in other respects the two swords can indeed be said to be exactly the same - the same ridiculous weight, the same unclear materials, and the same craftsmanship that is beyond human capabilities.
From ancient times to the present, it is natural that lost forging techniques and rare unknown materials are indispensable, but for someone like him, who comes from a century-old sword-making family, to be completely unable to find a clue about the sword, it is really... a bit incredible.
In a word, this sword... or this type of sword should almost not exist in this world.
Let's talk about Master Xu, the swordsmith. He currently has only one feeling towards swords such as the 'Seven Swords', and that is frustration.
However, as an excellent swordsmith, he would not give up exploring the new world.
It was obvious that Ben Lei, who was also one of the 'Seven Swords', was also targeted by him.
"I wonder if I can borrow the sword and take a look?" Master Xu asked Chen He politely.
Chen He nodded slightly, but did not refuse. He took a few steps forward to approach Master Xu, reached out and pulled out the Thunder Sword, and held the sword in both hands.
For a swordsman, his sword is exaggerated to say that it is equivalent to a companion, and of course it will not be easily faked. However, swordsmiths like Xu Fuzi are another matter.
Most of the time, sword-making and sword-making skills are not divided into different families. There may be sword-forging masters who don't know how to make swords, but the sword-forging masters will definitely know how to make swords.
It is an industry tradition to give your sword to a swordsman for tasting, and Chen He has no objection to this.
After all, there were a group of newly arrived guests. It was impossible for Master Xu to start the immersion mode on the spot. However, after thinking hard, he just felt the characteristics of the Ben Lei Sword for a while before returning the sword to Chen He.
It was pretty much what he expected. It basically matched the characteristics of the Qingguang Sword and the Rain Flower Sword - the sword was unique in nature, the material was unknown, and the craftsmanship was exquisite.
Although he still had no clue, Master Xu's curiosity about the Seven Swords became more and more intense.
For the three swords he has seen so far, although the conclusion of the sword tasting is the same - he is confused, he can judge that the sword properties, materials and craftsmanship of the three swords are all different.
Regardless of the nature of the sword, this is just the same famous sword, but the material and craftsmanship...'Seven Swords', doesn't it mean that there are seven different materials and craftsmanship that he has never heard of or seen before, but they are completely different?
One kind is already outrageous, but now there are probably seven... Master Xu feels more and more that these 'Seven Swords' are not like human beings.
"This sword is really unique. Even I can't figure it out. It's such a pity!" Xiang Jian always has to give a result. Master Xu couldn't figure it out, so he just told the truth.
Chen He was not surprised by this and nodded calmly, not caring much.
He didn't know how to make swords or make swords, but after being a swordsman for so many years, he still had some idea of the outrageousness of Ben Lei Sword.
Master Ben saw that Master Xu had finished working on the things he cared about, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, Brother Xu, you got what you wanted, let's go in quickly."
"If you cross this gate, you have entered the real inner city area of the machine city."
As he spoke, Master Ban took the lead and walked out, and everyone saw this and caught up with him.
"Well..." After crossing the gate, the dazzling direct sunlight once again reflected in everyone's eyes, and Tianming rubbed his eyes in discomfort.
When his eyes regained their composure, he saw a lush mountain canyon.
Platforms have been carved out artificially on the steep and towering mountain walls. Of course, some of them may be naturally formed.
Each platform is connected by volley plank corridors built along the mountain wall. At a glance, the huge building complex stretches endlessly, and is full of bricks and tiles.
This kind of natural wonder modified by huge man-made projects is far more shocking than all the scenes seen inside the mountain before. Most of the latter are famous for their exquisiteness, but what is really amazing is what you see in front of you. A majestic and refreshing sight.
Tianming rushed out in a hopeless manner, raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, and while looking at the mountain gorge in the distance, he kept saying in admiration, "Wow!"
After briefly appreciating the distant view, he then carefully approached the edge of the platform and lowered his head to look down.
Apart from the lingering clouds and mist, he couldn't see what was happening underneath. It seemed like... there was water flowing?
