Chapter 353: Seeking Materials, Questioning Ying Zi Ye

In a few moments, Sun Wu walked back.

In his hands, he carried a horse-chopping saber, its design not much different from the Black Gold Ancient Blade.

"General, please take a look."

Sun Wu handed the saber to General Zhang Han.

General Zhang Han took the horse-chopping saber and weighed it in his hand.

He noticed that unlike the Black Gold Ancient Blade, this saber was gray.

"Although this blade is not as good-looking as the Black Gold Ancient Blade, nor as heavy, it suits me well."

"It weighs about thirty jin; a heavy blade of this weight is quite good, hahaha!"

General Zhang Han stroked the horse-chopping saber, his face full of affection.

"General, the feel is truly excellent."

"This blade weighs thirty jin and was forged with additional metals and meteorite iron."

"Whether in terms of toughness or sharpness, it far exceeds ordinary weapons."

Gongshu Meng stood to the side, explaining the materials used to manufacture the blade.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at Gongshu Meng with surprise.

This was a descendant of the Gongshu family; she truly possessed some skill.

"Test how sharp it is."

Qin Shi Huang also became interested.

He had also grown fond of this uniquely shaped horse-chopping saber.

"As you command!"

General Zhang Han gripped the horse-chopping saber tightly and walked over to the wooden stakes used for testing.

He chose a stake as thick as an arm, raised the horse-chopping saber, and slashed down.

Bang—!

The arm-thick wooden stake snapped in response!

"Bravo!"

General Zhang Han cheered.

The cut was as smooth as a surface, very neat.

This horse-chopping saber was very sharp!

Afterward, he looked at a wooden stake as thick as a calf and raised the blade to slash down.

Bang—!

The calf-thick wooden stake still snapped in response!

Although it encountered some resistance, the stake was still cut through.

And most importantly, the blade remained completely undamaged!

This was the key point!

These wooden stakes were specifically used for experiments and were very hard.

General Zhang Han stared at the horse-chopping saber in his hand, somewhat stunned.

It was truly incomparably sharp.

The bronze swords of Great Qin were not this sharp.

In Great Qin, the smelting and extraction technology for iron was very immature.

Iron with high impurity content could not be forged at all and could only be cast into shape once.

Therefore, iron could only be used to cast heavy, bulky farm tools that did not require high strength or toughness.

Qin Shi Huang's gaze was burning.

He looked at the arm-thick wooden stake that had fallen to the ground.

"General Zhang Han, try cutting that thigh-thick wooden stake."

General Zhang Han turned his gaze toward the thigh-thick wooden stake.

He did not waste words; with a loud shout, he raised the blade and slashed down.

"Bang—!"

A dull thud echoed.

The horse-chopping saber cut more than two-thirds into the wooden stake, failing to cut it through by just a little.

The counter-shock from this strike was very strong, numbing the web between General Zhang Han's thumb and index finger.

He almost couldn't hold the handle, and the horse-chopping saber nearly slipped from his grasp.

General Zhang Han did not care whether his hands were injured.

Instead, he leaned close to the wooden stake to observe.

He very carefully pried the horse-chopping saber out of the wooden stake.

General Zhang Han was terrified of breaking the horse-chopping saber.

The result exceeded his expectations; the horse-chopping saber was very tough.

There was not the slightest damage!

"Your Majesty, this... is a divine weapon!"

"Based on that strike just now, one slash, and even a horse would be cut in two!"

General Zhang Han's eyes gleamed; he loved this unique weapon!

"Bravo!"

Qin Shi Huang cheered.

Although it ultimately failed to cut through the thigh-thick wooden stake.

The sharpness of this strike was beyond doubt, and it proved that the toughness of this horse-chopping saber was sufficiently good.

If one were to use a bronze sword to cut this wooden stake, let alone cutting two-thirds in, even cutting in one-third would be extremely difficult.

And the biggest fear would be that the bronze sword might snap directly.

"How many of these so-called horse-chopping sabers have been forged?"

Qin Shi Huang looked at Gongshu Meng with piercing eyes.

"You must ask him; these matters are not managed by this young woman."

Gongshu Meng looked toward Sun Wu at the side.

Sun Wu hurriedly bowed. ===== CHAPTER 355 =====
