Chapter 459: Kneeling Lord Forgotten Against Spring and Autumn Snow
The Sword Lord reappeared, but he was no longer the same as before. At this time, there was no trace of sword energy, sword power, or sword intention in his body. His body shape was as usual, but his face was fair and exquisite, otherworldly, like a true immortal descending to earth. There was no trace of it at all.
There are no flaws or flaws, and the snow-beating Confucian style robe adds to the sense of being unstained - just from his body and appearance, you can already tell that he is an extraordinary person.
"Sword Lord! You are Sword Lord! Are you really Sword Lord?!" Xuezhongjian asked in surprise. He did not expect that he really met Sword Lord: this scene was really like a dream!
[Of course, I am the true Sword Master.] The Sword Master smiled and then stretched out his hand to lift the sword in the snow, but that hand was powerless. If you describe it as "a hand without the strength to tie a chicken"
It's an amazing fit.
"No... you can't be Sword Lord... Sword Lord is dead... There is no Sword Lord in this world anymore. You just want to comfort me... But the expiration of such good intentions can't save China... I have nowhere to go.
... Just let me continue to kneel here..." After Xuezhongjian finished speaking, his face was full of despair, and he continued to kneel down, but his body seemed to be supported by some kind of force, allowing the powerless
Help him up with his hands.
[There is nowhere to go, in other words, you can go everywhere. The world has infinite scenery, why limit yourself to this? Come, you travel with me. If after three months, your thoughts still want to come back, I will never stop you.
You.】Jianjun made a gesture of invitation.
"But……"
[No more, let’s go, let’s go!] Sword Master took Xue Zhongjian’s wrist, and the two of them walked out of the frozen world and went away...
Desolate Abyss, the desolate valley of the past.
When Jianjun and Xue Zhongjian arrived here, it was already dusk, the sun was shining brightly, and the moonlight was looming. It was the most mysterious moment of the day.
"Going south from here is Night City. Should we speed up?" Xuezhongjian asked. Although he still didn't believe that the person traveling with him was the Sword Lord, he also wanted to give the other party a chance to prove himself.
[The sun and the moon are alternating. With such natural beauty, why rush? Let’s rest here for half an hour and wait for the moon to rise. It’s not too late to set off again.] After that, the sword master sat down with Xue Zhongjian on a vast flat ground.
Next, not long after, a figure came from the south.
The Sword Lord, the Sword in the Snow and the sword idiot Xuan Qi met by chance at this time——
When Xuan Qi saw the Sword Lord, he stopped. He originally wanted to go to the frozen world to see if he could break the ice and challenge the sword emperor from another world, but he didn't expect to meet such an extraordinary person along the way.
generation.
"I want to challenge you!" Xuanqi faced the Sword Master, holding the sword in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
[This sword master, your sword is too sharp, and too sharp... This is not a good thing...] The sword master did not mean to accept the challenge. After saying this, the sun glow completely disappeared, and the moon
After occupying the night sky, Sword Lord also stood up and prepared to leave.
"I want to challenge you!" Xuan Qi was unwilling to give up. At this time, the sword had already emitted an inch of cold light, and the cold sword light shone on Xuan Qi's left eye, full of persistence and sharpness.
[You have lost.] Sword Lord only whispered these three words, and the long sword in Xuan Qi's hand was unsheathed. No matter how hard he tried, he could not pull the sword out. When Xuan Qi raised his head again, Sword Lord, in the snow
The sword was already a hundred meters away, and the bright moonlight blocked the gap between Xuan Qi and Sword Lord, like an unbridgeable gap...
The walking Snow Sword was full of doubts, but he didn't know whether he should ask.
【You have doubts in your mind.】
"Yes... I don't understand why that person didn't come after me. I can see that he really wants to challenge you, and he has a character that will never give up until he achieves his goal..."
[He has challenged me, and the winner has been decided between us. As I said: he lost.]
"Then I don't understand even more. You didn't take any action at all. Why did he lose?"
[That swordsman’s person is just like his sword, sharp and invincible. When the sword in his hand was unsheathed even an inch, he hit people a few points sharper. I can be sure: when the sword was unsheathed, he
He must have a rare and powerful move in his hand. His moves, his people, and his sword have reached the extreme of swordsmanship where man and sword become one. If he goes one step further, I may confront him head-on and have a showdown... So, I
Defeated by his sword, his man is like an immortal sword whose edge has been passively restrained. No matter how powerful it is, it is useless... Well...] The sword master said the last thing, and suddenly stopped, holding his hands tightly.
He clutched his heart tightly, with a look of extreme pain on his face!
"What's wrong with you?! Hey! Are you okay!" Xue Zhongjian saw that Jian Jun suddenly behaved strangely and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
[I'm fine...it's just palpitations...] Jianjun's palpitations lasted for more than ten seconds, and then returned to normal. Snow Sword later discovered that Jianjun's palpitations occurred irregularly, sometimes frequently, and sometimes all day long.
I haven't seen him once, but I don't know why.
Two hours later, Xuezhongjian led them to the Night City. At this time, the Night City was even more lively than during the day. The streets were brightly lit, people were coming and going, and all the restaurants and shops were open to welcome people.
Visitors.
In the Night City, the "Wangu Inn" where martial arts people come to chat and exchange information is still as lively as usual, because this inn is funded by Wangu Que, and any information exchanged here will not attract enemies.
"Sword Maniac Xuanqi defeated the Black Lotus Sword Demon and defeated the Demon Lord. I don't know who his next target will be."
"I heard that someone saw him heading towards the wilderness. Maybe he wants to break the frozen world. You know, there are many masters in Tianya!"
"If you ask me, Xuanqi is the reincarnation of Sword Lord. Rumors say that although Sword Lord died, he left behind two clones. Now it's not surprising that there is another Xuanqi!"
"No matter who he is, as long as he can quell the conflict between the Demon Lord and the Black Lotus Sword Demon, he can do it!"
Xuan Qi, the name of the Sword Lord only appeared for a short period, and then there was an overwhelming sound of abuse, some of them scolded the Demon Lord, and some of them scolded the Black Lotus Sword Demon. Almost everyone present had lost relatives and friends because of the quarrel caused by these two people.
Old friends, they don't want to be the next tragedy to be sacrificed by their ambitions, but all they can do is pour out their sorrows here, there is no other way.
In the corner, Jianjun and Xue Zhongjian were drinking tea while listening to the discussions around them, but they were in different moods.
Xue Zhongjian looked at the man in front of him who had no strength and was suffering from heart palpitations. He couldn't believe that he was the sword master, but he really believed it in his heart.
【This city is very quiet...so quiet that I enjoy it.】
"In my opinion, this is just an extremely noisy city, and what you see is only the surface of this city. If you see the darkness behind this city, you may not be as happy as you are right now.
"Xue Zhongjian said coldly.
【Oh? Tell me, I want to see how dark it is.】
"There is a 'Mingxiang Tower' to the north of the street. On the surface, it is a place for literati to drink tea. In fact, it is accompanied by prostitutes. They even use various means to buy women from good families and cardamom girls in and outside the city.
These women were publicly auctioned on the pretext of drinking tea as accessories; and the Wanguque in the city was nominally the official parent of the residents in the city, but in fact he allowed his disciples to do evil in the city, collecting protection fees everywhere, causing harm to the city, but no one could do anything about it
Even if they stop them, people dare not complain. These are just more serious examples. Although it was only four years ago, I have walked all the way and found that the city has not changed much. I am afraid that those bad habits are still there!" In the snow!
Jian said disdainfully, and in the end his tone became even more serious.
[Alas, what you said made me unhappy... This cup of tea has changed its taste...] Jianjun shook his head and sighed, and then put the teacup that was brought to his mouth back on the table.
"In that case, let's leave. I don't want to stay here any longer...but have you brought tea money?" Xuezhongjian was about to get up when he suddenly realized the problem of money.
【I just entered the world with no money.】
"That's a tragedy..." Just as Xue Zhongjian smiled bitterly, Xuan Qi walked into the inn, walked straight to Jian Jun's table, and sat down unceremoniously.
[Ha! Sword in the Snow, at this moment you should realize what I am thinking. 】
"This is really 'a village with bright flowers and bright willows'... However, if he doesn't have any money, I will be unhappy..." Xue Zhongjian looked at Xuan Qi meaningfully, and the latter frowned.
As if he understood the subtle meaning in the atmosphere, he immediately took out three copper coins from his arms and placed them on the table.
At this time, some people recognized Xuan Qi and looked over at the table. Some even began to guess the identity of the other two people at the same table.
[Sword in the Snow, we are no longer welcome here, let’s go to the next place.]
"Where to go?"
[I am very interested in the Pinming Tower you mentioned. I would rather go with this brother Xuanqi. 】
Xuan Qi didn't speak, just nodded, then got up and followed Jianjun. The three of them left, but led more people to Pinming Tower...
Night City·Pinming Tower, among insiders, prefers to call it the "Gold Selling Cave". Those who can enter it must have great wealth or extraordinary status. Once they enter it, they may come out penniless.
The Pinming House was only used as a brothel at first, and later a gambling house was added to it. It can be said that it is the largest brothel and the largest gambling house in the Night City.
On this night, at this moment, Xue Zhongjian took Sword Master and Xuan Qi to the door of the tea tasting building. At this glance, there were dense red lights inside. If you didn't look at the plaque, how would you know that this was a tea building for guests?
The teahouse?
"It is indeed here. It was like this when I passed by here four years ago. It has not changed at all... It's just that if you want to enter it, I'm afraid..." Although Sword in the Snow didn't know what the sword master was going to do, he believed it inexplicably.
He's not here for fun like everyone else.
[Brother Xuanqi, can you lend me your sword? 】
When the Sword Master asked, Xuan Qi handed the sword to him without even thinking. Although this sword was excellent, it was not a famous sword.
"bass--"
The Sword Master did not draw the sword, but the sword automatically drew out an inch. However, the Sword Master pointed the sword at a point, leaving the word "Devil" on the sword's jaw, and then returned the sword to its sheath, standing at the Sword Master's feet, unshakable!
[Sword in the snow, now is your time. Use this sword to invite all passing warriors to fight. Anyone who can pull out this sword will be rewarded with a million gold and given the sword as a gift. If he cannot pull it out, he will take one.
gold.】
"This... is good!" Xue Zhongjian hesitated slightly, but then immediately accepted it.
"The ancient demon-slaying sword, whoever can pull it out will be rewarded with a million dollars and the sword will be given as a gift!"
Xue Zhongjian's voice was quite loud. After a while, countless good people gathered around to watch, and even alarmed the people in the tea tasting building...
