I've only got one more swing left in me...but that's all I need. I'm not using a wooden sword anymore. This is...The King's Sword I inherited from Hyou.

—Ri Shin's thoughts during his final duel with Sa Ji.

Ri Hyou's Sword, also known as the King's Sword, is the personal sword and trademark weapon used by Ri Shin. After his death, Shin obtained this sword from Hyou. Since his death, Shin has wielded the sword in every one of his battles since the end of the Sei Kyou's Rebellion and the very beginning of his career in the Qin Military. After taking up wielding podaos and finally using the late General Ou Ki's Glaive, Shin uses the sword as his secondary weapon.

Abilities[]

The sword boasts exceptional sharpness, effortlessly slicing through a grown man's shoulder blade, multiple armored soldiers, and an adult man's entire torso as if cutting through paper. In addition to its unparalleled edge, the sword exhibits remarkable durability. It has withstood arrows fired by the elite Ten Bows of China [1] and endured a powerful strike from an enraged Ren Pa, a renowned Great General known for his immense physical strength—all without sustaining a single scratch or showing any signs of breaking.[2]
