The border towns in the Western Desert are no longer as prosperous as they used to be. Without the legend of Zi Ming, the Western Desert is no longer attractive to the world.
But today, an indifferent swordsman walked out of the Western Desert - this was an indifferent swordsman. Behind him was a seven-foot giant sword. The hilt alone was a foot and a half long. There seemed to be no one in the world.
The scabbard can hold the sword, so the swordsman only wraps a small piece of animal skin around the blade and carries it behind his back.
The swordsman was carrying such a heavy sword, but his steps were very fast. He quickly passed through the border town and headed in an unknown direction...
…
The overlords of the Demon God Palace and the Immortal Sword Sect almost summoned about 80% of their forces that night, preparing to take advantage of the opponent's coach being injured to attack each other in one fell swoop. However, when both sides realized that what the other party wanted was what they wanted.
Thinking about it, it is another endless fierce life-and-death battle - both coaches can be said to be attrition. As long as the other side's military strength is exhausted, it doesn't matter even if one's own combat strength is also damaged.
Anyway, it was only the two of them who ultimately decided the outcome of the battle.
…
Night City, Eternal Palace, Sword Lord, and Sword in the Snow arrived, while Xuan Qi stayed outside the Pinming Tower to enjoy Concubine's alluring dance.
There were very few people in the Eternal Palace, and there was not even a gatekeeper. When the two sword masters pushed the door open, they saw a one-armed swordsman who was selflessly in love with the sword under the moon. Every move and every move was like a sword.
The fatal move, what those eyes are staring at is not the real scene, but the enemy figure reflected in the mind...
[A steady sword has become a sword that lives only for killing people... But it is this murderous intention that makes your swordsmanship stand at the top. I really don't know whether to praise or regret it...]
The one-armed swordsman noticed the person coming and immediately put away his sword and stood up——
"Why do you two come to my Eternal Palace?" Zhong Wang Shanhe concealed his murderous intent and asked calmly.
[Jianjun, I’m sorry to bother you. I’m here this time, hoping that Wangu Que can stop collecting money from the stores in Night City. Please consider it. 】
"Sword Lord? Are you that Sword Lord?" Zhong Wang Shanhe said in surprise, even a little incoherently.
[Ha! Brother, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, because I’m the only sword master in the world.]
"But... your body didn't turn into the Black Lotus Sword Demon... No, you are definitely not the Sword Lord... Who exactly is your Excellency!" Zhong Wang Shanhe suddenly found that he had been credulous based on the other party's words, and immediately shook his head and objected.
.
[Whether I am the Sword Lord or not depends entirely on whether you believe it or not. If you don’t believe it, I have nothing to say, but I hope that the purpose of coming here this time can be accepted by Eternal Palace. 】
"Why don't I know when Wangu Que will make money? Ma Ping! You all come out!!" Zhong Wang Shanhe shouted, and after a while, several warriors rubbing their sleepy eyes gathered over.
"Ma Ping, some people say that you are collecting ill-gotten gains from stores in Night City. Is this true?"
Facing Zhong Wang Shanhe's question, Ma Ping and several other colleagues looked at each other, and finally Ma Ping explained: "Master Que, how can we receive ill-gotten gains? Our Eternal Que is the Night City
As the leading boss, if those stores were not taken care of by us, Wanguque, how could their business be so safe? It’s okay to charge a fee.”
"Bastards!! You are ruining the reputation of my Eternal Palace! From today on, if such a thing happens again, you will be punished with a rod!!" Zhong Wang Shanhe was furious. He did not expect that he was obsessed with martial arts and ignored him.
The affairs in the palace would actually cause such a thing to happen to the disciples.
"Master Que, if you insist on doing this, then my brothers and I will have no choice but to leave the Eternal Palace. To be honest, if the Black Lotus Sword Demon of the Immortal Sword Sect had not been assisting the Eternal Palace, I am afraid that this would have become a long time ago.
It’s in ruins! Inside and outside the Eternal Palace
It’s okay. The disciple has no source of income, so it’s perfectly reasonable to charge some protection fees from the store in Night City! We also have wives and children. Master Que, your decision will make our lives very difficult, you know.
?”
Seeing his disciples complaining like this, Zhong Wang Shanhe felt even more incompetent.
"In this case, you all should leave. Eternal Palace cannot tolerate evildoers..." After Zhong Wang Shanhe said this, Ma Ping and others left together despite being reluctant to leave.
"I didn't expect that the Eternal Palace would be destroyed in my hands... But that's fine... It's something outside of me... Why are you so persistent..." Zhong Wang Shanhe looked around at this once prosperous building, and felt cold at this moment.
Comparing the deserted scenery, it is inevitable to feel disappointed.
[You only feel this sense of loss because you have had it before. Just imagine what it was like in the beginning when you didn’t have this inheritance? This world will eventually return to loneliness. Perhaps, you should be grateful for this time.
It is my decision to see you again if we are destined to say goodbye.】
Sword Lord, Xue Zhongjian sighed when he left and walked out of the Eternal Palace.
"Oh, I thought it would be a tense scene, but I didn't expect you to resolve it in just a few words."
【Do you really think things will end so easily? 】
"Isn't it? Or do you think that person just now was lying?"
[The words of the swordsman can be seen through his sword. The man just did not lie... However, those who left will not give up so easily. For them, it is not that Eternal Palace has given up on them, but that
It was they who gave up the Eternal Palace... From now on, I'm afraid they will tighten their finances even more strictly.】
"No, then what should we do?"
[What we should do now is find a place to rest, and then join them during the day and become a part of collecting protection fees, ha!]
Sword in the Snow felt baffled, but the person who caused this incident was the Sword Immortal, and he believed that the latter must have considered it.
The next morning, Sword Master and Snow Sword were walking on the streets of Night City. They seemed to be walking aimlessly, but first they met Xuan Qi, and then they met Ma Ping and others who were leading people around to collect protection money——
"Old man Liu! You don't know how to flatter me! Last month, I kindly asked you to pay the two months' service money this month. If you can't pay this month, I will catch your granddaughter for tea.
Let’s go downstairs to have tea with you! Then I’ll destroy your shop!! There’s no need to keep opening it if you can’t pay for it anyway!”
In front of a tailor shop, Ma Ping and his 20-odd friends threatened an old man in his 60s and 70s for money. The old man originally asked for more grace, but when he heard that the other man wanted to treat his granddaughter
Unfavorable, he was so frightened that he quickly took out a bag of scattered coins from his arms and handed it to Ma Ping. However, after handing over the money, the grandfather and grandson would only be able to eat two meals a day for the next month, and two meals a day.
Every time they had to eat porridge without vegetables, the old man didn’t even dare to think about what would happen next month.
[Everyone, we said goodbye yesterday and see you again today, but I am even more impressed by you.]
"Huh? Is it you, trying to bring trouble on us again today? But I'm really sorry, we are no longer from Wanguque, what can you do to me?" Ma Ping frowned, not without resentment towards Sword Lord.
[Brother Ma is really joking. I thought hard last night and finally felt that what I did was not wrong. This time I met Brother Ma again. Firstly, I wanted to apologize to Brother Ma for what happened yesterday. Secondly, I also felt that there was nothing wrong with what I did.
I have a good thing to tell Brother Ma.]
"Oh? Then I'm curious, what good thing will you do to find me..." Ma Ping still stared at Jianjun warily, without any intention of believing it.
[I want to protect Brother Ma and the twenty-one brothers of Brother Ma. Isn’t this a good thing? 】
"What kind of protection law?"
[It’s like this. My two little brothers and I also need money to live. It would be better for both of us if Brother Ma shares a little bit of the cost among the three of us. What does Brother Ma think? 】
"Oh? How much do you want?" Some people behind Ma Ping already wanted to go up and hit Jian Jun, but they were stopped.
【No more, no less, exactly ten percent.】
"Okay, you raving lunatic! You want 100%, right? Then I'll give you 100% of your life! Take the move!" Behind Ma Ping, a big man holding two hammers strode.
Step forward, swing your hammers, and blast towards the Sword Lord!
At this time, Xuan Qi next to the Sword Lord gave a cold look, and then he unsheathed his long sword, and the sword pointed straight at the strong man with two hammers. When the hammers and swords clashed, the strong man was counterattacked by the tyrannical force of the sword.
After taking ten steps back, when he stopped, his hands unconsciously let go of the hammers. The numbness in his palms made him unable to control his hands for a while.
[My life is too humble, how can I bother you to do something? If you really feel that 10% is too little, then you might as well ask you to follow me and leave Night City to do something. It is also a good choice. 】
Ma Ping was very surprised by Xuan Qi's strength, but he was even more curious about this person who could make a master like Xuan Qi willing to follow him.
"Then what kind of business do you want to do?"
【Go to the end of the world and bring peace to the world!】
Six simple words, but everyone present understood the great ambition of an unparalleled general, and no one questioned his words.
[This world has experienced so much sorrow, so much that people in the world are about to integrate this sorrow into their lives... And I want to put down the chaos in the world, open up a new situation, and lead the world back to the peace it should be.
environment, in this process, I need many like-minded friends, are you the people I am looking for?】
Everyone in Ma Ping was stunned. If these words were said to other people, they might find it ridiculous, but for some reason, they all inexplicably believe that this seemingly weak person has such an ability.
"Why did you take a fancy to us?" Ma Ping had already restrained his vigilance and asked somewhat complicatedly.
[I just think it’s a pity for you people to stay in Night City. Although I have no right to interfere with your future, I can give you a chance to choose your own future. Everything depends on your own wishes. ]
Everyone was tempted. Among the twenty-two people, they initially joined Wangu Que with full enthusiasm, hoping to create their own reputation in the martial arts world. Later, Wangu Que suffered a big change, and their ideals were almost cut off;
And now, an opportunity is before them, an opportunity they have only dreamed of!
Ma Ping took two steps forward, handed back the money he had just taken from the old man, and then said to Jianjun: "We have to go back and explain to our family first... I'll find you outside the south city gate later."
After Ma Ping said that, he took his twenty-one brothers and left...
Two hours later, outside the south gate of Night City, twenty-two people from Ma Ping and Ping lined up in two teams, stood in front of the Sword Lord, and knelt down on one knee——
"This kneeling is to thank you for your kindness! After this kneeling, we brothers will follow you wherever you go!!"
After Ma Ping said this, everyone shouted in unison, with a mighty sound that extended for hundreds of meters.
[You may not know that when you walk out of this city gate, you are already in a dangerous situation where your body may be missing at any time. The road I am going to take next will not be smooth, but anyone can think of it.
If I want to touch you, I won’t allow it! Because you are all heroes who save the world!!]
A heroic sentence rekindled the passion that had been dormant for countless years!
"We don't know your name yet. Please enlighten me. Brothers Ma Ping will definitely remember your name!"
【I am the Sword Lord.】
The Sword Lord has rectified his name, and with twenty-four followers, he will enter the world again!
In the battle between magic lotus and the sword king, who will become the emperor? Who is the emperor's order?
What kind of storm will the mysterious swordsman coming out of the Western Desert stir up? For more exciting content, please continue to watch the next chapter!
