Black Steel did not hesitate. He grabbed Han Sen's hand and lowered his body.
Han Sen held the knife with one hand and Black Steel with the other. He slowly lowered him.
Black Steel's fingers inched closer and closer to the Zhanmadao. His forehead was sweating. Doing this was too risky. If something went wrong, the Zhanmadao would explode, and both of them would die without a grave.
However, Ebon's hand did not tremble in the slightest. He slowly approached the Zhanmadao, which was floating up and down in the molten iron. He gently grasped the handle of the Zhanmadao and slowly pulled it out from the molten iron.
He was very slow, and he did not make a single ripple in the liquid. He pulled it out slowly, and after a minute, he was only halfway out.
Suddenly!
A drop of sweat rolled down Black Steel's face. It landed in the liquid, and with a sizzling sound, it turned into a cloud of white smoke.
The liquid started to boil, and countless knives started to shake. The tips of the knives were pointed at them, and the two of them froze. They did not dare move.
After a while, the knife and the liquid quieted down.
Black Steel started to pull the knife out of the molten metal again. Then, he looked at Han Sen and gestured for him to do so.
Han Sen saw Black Steel look at him, so he pulled Black Steel back to the knife wall.
Black Steel slung the knife across his back and gestured for Han Sen to follow. Then, the two of them climbed up the volcano's crater.
After the two of them crawled out of the Knife Grave, Black Steel let out a sigh of relief. His clothes were soaked in cold sweat. It was too dangerous, and the two of them almost died in the Knife Grave.
Black Steel looked at Han Sen, and he noticed that Han Sen was standing next to him. He looked as nonchalant as ever, and there wasn't a single drop of sweat on his forehead. It was as if nothing had happened.
"I don't know if he is fearless because he doesn't know anything, or if he is just too arrogant," Black Steel thought to himself. His opinion of Han Sen had changed.
"You can have half of this knife. Let's talk about how we should split it," Black Steel said to Han Sen after they left the mountain. He was holding the knife.
"I don't want the knife. Think of it as an appraisal fee. If I need it later, you can help me pick a good one." Han Sen smiled.
"Do you know what this knife is?" Black Steel asked Han Sen.
"What knife?"
Han Sen shook his head, indicating that he did not know. The presence of the weapons there was hidden, and Han Sen did not know much about knives, so he could not tell what level the weapon was.
"This is an Earl knife," Black Steel said.
"Just an Earl?
I thought it would be higher. I want a Duke knife, at the very least. You can help me pick one out. It would be best if it was King class. If it was deified, that would be perfect. "Han Sen looked disappointed. He didn't want an Earl knife.
Black Steel slung the knife across his back and ignored Han Sen. He found a place to sit at the foot of the mountain and wait for the second round of knife rain to come.
They had wasted a lot of time, so the second round of knife rain should be coming soon.
While they were talking, there was a loud explosion. The Knife Grave exploded again. Many beams of light shot up into the clouds. Not long after, a sky full of knives rained down.
Black Steel held the Zhanmadao, and he gave the other Baron knife to Han Sen.
Han Sen held the Baron knife in each hand, and he swatted away the knives that were falling from the sky.
This round of knife rain was mostly just ordinary knives. It was rare to see a Baron knife, so the two of them were able to get through it easily.
"Why don't we go back into the Knife Grave? Maybe we can find something better," Han Sen suggested.
Black Steel shook his head and said, "After the second round, many of the knives will be Baron class. Their senses will be stronger, too. If you touch them, they'll go crazy. Unless you can fly, you won't be able to go down."
Han Sen was disappointed, so he gave up on the idea of going back into the Knife Grave.
The two of them went through two more rounds of knife rain. After the fifth round, Black Steel got up and walked around the mountain. He looked at the knives that were stuck in the mountain. After that, he left the mountain and went somewhere else.
"Little Black, do you have a deified knife?
Does anyone in Narrow Moon have a deified treasure? "Han Sen asked as he followed her.
Black Steel ignored him. He had found a way to deal with Han Sen, and that was to keep quiet.
After the fifth round of knife rain, it was difficult to find an Earl knife. But if their luck wasn't too bad, they should be able to find a Viscount knife. Black Steel planned to find a Viscount knife first.
The two of them walked for a while, and then they saw three other people looking for knives. They noticed Han Sen and Black Steel, too, and they were coming their way.
"Black Steel, why are you with him?" The golden-haired Rebate woman looked at Han Sen and then frowned at Black Steel.
"I, Black Steel, can be with whoever I want," Black Steel said coldly.
The woman's face looked glum. A Rebate man next to her coldly said, "Black Steel, don't be so cocky. You are just the son of Black Moon King. If you were really strong, why didn't Knife Queen take you as a student? Why did she take this useless outsider?"
Another weird-looking outsider laughed mockingly and said, "He can't be Knife Queen's student, but he can get on her good side. Maybe he'll be able to get close to her. Maybe she'll take him as a student."
Black Steel suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed. His knife was like a tiger climbing a mountain. It slashed down violently.
The outsider quickly raised his knife to block, but the knife he was holding was only a Baron. It was broken by the Zhanmadao.
Furthermore, the power of the saber was as fierce as before. Under the horrified gaze of the foreign race, the saber cut him in half. Blood immediately flowed to the ground.
"That is … an Earl weapon." The woman and the man were shocked. They looked at Black Steel's Zhanmadao in disbelief.
Coming back to his senses, the man shouted at Black Steel, "Black Steel, you dare to kill people here?
Do you think Black Moon King can do whatever he wants? "
"Anyone who insults the queen will die," Black Steel said coldly. He didn't even look at them.
The man and the woman froze. It was fine if they talked about it in private, but if they talked about it in public, it was a death sentence. If people knew what the outsider had said, they'd praise Black Steel for doing a good job.
"Huh!"
The man grunted and did not say anything. He looked at Han Sen and said, "Queen's student must be good. I am not that good, but I would like to see him."
The man didn't want to provoke Black Steel, who had an Earl weapon. He wanted to take out his anger on Han Sen.
"Half of this knife is yours," Black Steel said. He tossed the Zhanmadao to Han Sen.
The man was furious. "Black Steel, you …"
Han Sen threw the knife back to Black Steel and smiled. "I am Knife Queen's student. Using that would be too much of a bully. Let's use this."
After that, Han Sen pulled out a knife from the ground. It was just an ordinary knife, and it didn't even have a tier.
