Hi all:

Can anyone please tell me the English meaning of 百十斤重? Thanks!

一马三箭凤夺巢,百十斤重的大刀抡起来呼呼作响

5 as heavy as lead

Over a hundred pounds

It's a rough number, like saying "He can lift over a hundred pounds right above his head." 1 斤 is half a kilo and is roughly 1 pound.

as heavy as lead

It's a metaphorical way of saying very heavy. The translated version of the phrase would thus read: ...swinging the broadsword that is as heavy as lead.
