Late at night, under the dim moonlight, a gentle west wind hummed.
On a desolate hill, two figures still stood.
One with a sword, one with a blade, their eyes met in silence.
The sword was a Japanese sword, a lower-quality blade, often used by wandering samurai.
During that time in Weihai, pirate activities coming from Japan were common, so both the official army and the common folk were quite familiar with such swords.
In contrast, higher-quality Japanese swords, or samurai blades, were extremely rare within the borders of the Great Ming, for they were usually possessed only by renowned and noble families within Japan itself, and such wealthy and esteemed samurai had no reason to travel thousands of miles to become bandits in the Great Ming.
The other weapon, a long sword nearly twice the length of ordinary swords.
Those who carried such a blade through Martial Arts world were undoubtedly individuals with reputations.
