For Du Chengfeng, this might be the most severe aftereffect of sharpening a blade.
In the past, sharpening the blade might have let him be immersed in the blade's memories, yet having been tempered by Evil Qi, he could always quickly recover his consciousness—as no matter what, blades and humans are different. Humans have hands and feet, and don't have blades growing from their faces, these are things blades lack.
Even after experiencing a blade's life through its memories, as long as he moved his limbs, he could remember who he was.
Despite experiencing a blade's life, he remained human.
However, this time was different.
Du Chengfeng had never imagined a living person could serve as a blade. This time what he underwent was not the life of a blade, but the life of a living, breathing person.
