The sound of the birds, the repeats of mountains, and overlaps of water, as if there were no paths, the back roads of Henan, leading to Luoyang is beautiful
Greenery is all around, bamboo forest is passed, beautiful rivers and hills, the air is good, the wind is breezy, the coolness of the forest cools the body and refreshes the mind.
In the back roads, walking along the countryside, passing through small villages, is two people.
Both of them have swords, with this those who saw them could tell that these two people is the people of Jianghu, the people of Wulin, a man and a woman.
The woman wears red dress, enchanting like fire, a veil covers her lower part of her face, but just by looking at her eyes one could imagine that once that veil is pulled, the face that hides behind the veil is a beauty that would bring down cities and kingdoms.
The man walking beside the woman is a young man, handsome and elegant, wearing a black robe, adding a charismat
he never had the intention to become a warlord or fight in unifying the world.Maybe, it is because he is not suitable to becoming an overlord. In the end, the so called overlord, they free themselves and enslave others.In the end, these people who said that they fight for the peace of the world, after the world is pacified, they would sit on the highest throne and forget those who fight for themThey would award the aristocratic family, the crumbs of their wealth would go to the peasant, the very same peasant who sacrifice their life in battle for their glory.History remembers Li Shimin, Li Jing, the great emperor and the great general but forget the peasant that die in their wars, the forgotten, unsung, denigrated heroes.They use high sounding rhetoric, form people, for Heaven, for righteousness but they wage war for power, fame and richesLi Xin knows this better than anyone because he is one of the rich.And while not everyone
The wind gently breezes by, the sound of the birds fills the forest, the carriage moves slowly amidst the beautiful scenery that envelopes the forestThere is a carriage moving in the forest, surrounded by dozen warriors. These warriors have flag bearers, a convoy guardian.All of these warriors is guarding the person inside the carriage. This carriage belongs to Lin familyAnd inside the carriage is the lady of the Lin familyLin Xiuning is the daughter and child of the Lin family. The Lin family is a family of merchant in Luoyang but a couple of years now they are slowly rising in ranks.Lin Xiuning is also known in the city of Luoyang as a great beautyHer beauty is known to many. Even now as she is sitting inside the carriage, if one sees her face, one could not help but be enchantedHer lips are crimson red even without applying any rouge, her smiles would make people dream of spring sceneryHer movements are full of elega
On the nearby hill, there is two people.One of them is a man wearing a black robe, the other is a young woman, her lower face is covered with a silk, wearing red, a bamboo hat on top of these two people.The woman jumps down from the hill but she did not run down like normal people. Her feet did not touch the ground, instead she glides down like a fairy, her feet float a few inches above the ground.Looking like she is pushed by the wind, ethereal-likeHer hands move and something flies out from her hands. Lin Xiuning could not see what it wasAll she could see was a blurry thing was shot out.She looks at the area, saw five people. The thing flew to these five people.These five people, some of them notices it, some of them didn’t.The one who notices turns their back and raise their weapons, wanting to cut, wanting to deflect but five echoing sound soundedFive people fall down almost immediately, all of them de
Li Xin found a place that is suitable to become a grave not far from the battle site.Li Xin simply would slam his palm on the ground and create holes. They then pay their respect and erect a few signs around the grave.This is so that if the family of these people wanted to reburied them later at a different place, they could come here and dug out the bodyThe leader of these escort group is very grateful to Li Xin for doing this. As for the attacker body., Li Xin throws them the cliff but not before taking all they have on their body.There is a few pouch of money and many hidden weapons that he found, nothing too extravagant.He thought he would find some secret technique or something along that line but after thinking about it, he should have expected that muchAfter all, Li Xin fought with them and he knows the level of these assassin. At most a C or D rate martial artist. This is a ranking of power he made for himself.
But between the two, the young hero and the veiled lady, the young hero is more approachable.He greeted the head of the Dragon Gate Escort, helps people, and smile carefreely.This however did not make Mu Chun lower his guard to that manBecause no matter how much he smiles and how polite he is, Mu Chun saw the aftermath of the battle.None of the people that fought against that young man survive. The killing was so efficient that it sends chills to her heartShe did not see how Li Xin kills all of those people. But she saw the sword mark that is on the trees.Some of the trees were cut cleanly, the sharpness of the cut is nothing like Mu Chun had even seen before.This young hero is not only young but powerful, the depths of martial arts which she does not know and comprehend.But Mu Chun had no choice. If there is another ambush, the five of them could not protect the young lady at all.Of course, if the two people es
‘Thank you for saving us’ she bowed her head toward Li Xin and Qingxuan. Qingxuan did not opens her eyes, still leaning on the wall, like she is a part of the wall.Li Xin opens his eyes for a second, smiles and nodded and then he closes back his eyes. Lin Xiuning heard that the people in Jianghu, the more powerful they are, the more eccentric they are.Of course this is not actually the truth but the exaggeration of the stories but to Lin Xiuning, the example is made true just now.Li Xin did not mean to be rude but there is not much to say. And right now he is looking at his status window______________________________________________NAME 
Then they heard another footstep. Maybe because of the silence, the sound seems particularly clear to themTap. Tap. TapThe pace is very stable but the sound grew louder. At first, it was like the sound comes from afar. Then it feels like the sound come only a few feet away.The more the footsteps sounded, the more it sounds clearer and closer.Qingxuan finally opens her eyes. Thunder roars in the sky, the room was illuminated for a moment in that one second.Li Xin saw Qingxuan eyes.She looks at him and he nodded. So, she closed her eyes back.As for the person that is coming, the sound of this person footsteps are growing louder by the second.The maidservants stand up but another step landed on the ground and the pressure seems to infinitely rises around the entire roomThey did not even see this person yet, but Mu Chun, the maidservant already felt like she is being overwhelmed by this pressureThis footstep
In the sky, thunder roars at the world, lightning criss crossed amidst the clouds like a dragon crossing the heavensInside a temple, the silhouette of Buddha is illuminated by lightning in the sky, like a judge, this statue of Buddha is looking at two people about to fightA battle begunThe sword is unsheathed, the sound of the sword rings in everyone ears. The dust on the ground rises up, the tiles were cut.That man shot toward the young lady.Li Xin also make his move, the sword pointed to the ground quickly moves like a flash of lightning rising upwards and the sword was swung.The glint of the sword appears.The young maiden, the four warriors, the maidservant all thought a sword would fall on themBut all they could see was the glint of a sword and they see something that shocked them.Li Xin sword slashed at that person left hand.Nobody could see how Li Xin had made his move.Did he move during th
This sigh is because he once felt such feeling.Even though it is now hazy, Li Xin remembers that when he active the One Sword technique, there is that feeling that everywhere his sword pointed, the surrounding area is under his control.None of the sword of the enemy could touch him and none of their attack could even reach himIn that moment, he is the sword and wherever he pointed is the area of death.Everyone is waiting for Dugu Qingfeng to make his move.Everyone is paying attention because those who came here who have deep attainment in martial arts know that a battle between masters does not take so long.When they strike, they have the confidence to win in that one strike. If this is sparring, they might trade a few swings here and there but this is a battle of life and deathIf they could end it with one strike, why not?This is the reason why battle between masters sometimes is boring.When they are evenly matched, they will exchange moves and flashy moves and fancy techniq
Dugu Qingfeng wear a blue attire, and he seems like a debonair young hero. Wu Ming is dressed in white; his face is expressionless and his eyes is cold. Looking at him, it almost appears like he is detached from the world. That everywhere he walks, he walks in a world of his own and everything beside him is isolated Everyone who looks at these two people on the city wall feel differently But there is one similarity that all of these people seem to share and that is the feeling of awe toward these two people rising from their heart. Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng look at each other. Even though the distance between them is ten feet away from each other, it was like they are in front of each other, only inches apart ‘Hero Li who do you think would win?’ Zhang Kuo asked. Li Xin shook his head. Zhang Kuo nodded. Qingxuan who is also proficient in the sword also could not speculate. The level is too high and she sat so low, so how could she humiliate herself trying to give an answer to
Li Xin is not surprised that some people chose today to try to attack Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.However, it was so many people, it was like every corner of the city is full of people wanting to fight Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.It is too coincidentalThree days ago, when Dugu Qingfeng is in the Red Building and Wu Ming in the White pagoda, no one come and challenges them.They could always just shout their challenge and knowing Dugu Qingfeng, he might accept.And if anyone could walk through the Immortal Forest and pass through the Village of the Defeated, they could always try to challenge Wu Ming if they are really determined to do sobut they waited for today and like clockwork, all single challengers come fighting them today, those who have feuds, blood debt and even assassins of all kinds, all appeared in droves like a swarmLi Xin is confident that there is someone behind the scene that is directing these peoplethe kind of people that could mobilize this many people and have th
Li Xin is surrounded by beautiful fairy. This is the thought of every man looking at him walking around with two beauties alongside him.Some people even envy Zhang Kuo who is talking and laughing with Li Xin. They never though a proud sons of the List could be so easygoingThe proud sons and daughter of the List referred to those people on the top ten of the Tianji Pavilion List.Most of these proud sons and daughters of the list usually would become a large figure in the future if they were allowed to grow. Many of those in the list before has turned into legends and figures of aweThe last time such list shows itself those in the list that survives now become ancestors of a great clan, a grandmaster, or even the head sect of powerful schools.Of course, there are also people who in the list who became legend and goes into seclusion.Hence why many of those people in the list is usually unapproachable and have their own arrogance.And not many people dare approach such high and nobl
It brushed past them and the moment it brushed them; they feel like their entire body is frozen. Their thoughts and their move were all frozenIt was like time itself is frozen. They look around in this frozen like state and sees that even the wind seems to have stopped, the dust seems to have halted in midair instead of rising upThen they feel warmth.But the more they feel this warmth, the more terrified they became.Because they feel this warmth from their neck. And then this warmth is slowly flowing out, and then drips down from their neckAnd as this warmth drips out, a different kind of coldness seems to seize them heart and soulIt took them a few second before they understand.Their throat was cut. But how? These are the question in their mind before they fall down to the ground, face forward, blood flowing out from a cut on their neck.Then their head slide down from their neck. Dugu Qingfeng cut them so cleanly like it uses a sharp knife to cut a part of a tofu.The blood s
The saber seems to be so fast it cut the wind but Dugu Qingfeng only sidestep to the side, and the saber misses it target.In that moment, Dugu Qingfeng simply smiles and flick his finger, a powerful energy was flicked off from the tip of his finger and the saber changes its trajectory.That person feels the grip of the saber loosen. And in that brief moment, Dugu Qingfeng made a grabbing motion with his hand.‘No!’Before the man could utter these words, the saber on his hand was grabbed by Dugu Qingfeng.The man somersaulted backward, trying to put a distance between him and Dugu QingfengBut how could Dugu Qingfeng let him go just like that?He dashes forward and make a slashing motion.Swish!The sound of shirts tearing, a scream echoes and the people watching all widened their eyes.That person with the saber attack in a hurry, charging like a rushing bull yet retreated even faster than expected.<
But Wu Ming is about to walk again.And Yang Xuan could not let him go.He jumps to the air coming out from the bushes and appears in front of Wu MingWu Ming lazily looked at him.But he did not move his sword‘Wu Ming, didn’t you see what you have done?’People may call him the Sword God and Uncrowned King of Sword but in front of Yang Xuan he is still a juniorEven though he is not as strong as Wu Ming, it is a fact that Wu Ming is his junior so he could speak like this.Wu Ming look around. Even though some people hide behind bushes now that their mind and heart is disturbed, their location could easily be seen.He sighed.He did not say it with his words but one could tell he looks at these people with disdain.But who really knows what he is thinking?But some people believe that his eyes seem to be conveying, if you are not powerful, they why do you dare watch it?But
The great school disciple come simply because they wanted to see the famous Wu Ming.Most of them is the disciples, the senior brother of the generation of their school and they come here just to watch the demeanor and to watch the battle between Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.But while some people are waiting near the entrance gate to watch the battle, they wanted to see Wu Ming journey to the gate.The disciple of the great schools knows more thing than the common people.They seem to know that there will be people that could not stand the itch and tries to fight Wu Ming todayEven though there is portrait of him circulating all over Wulin, it is not the same as seeing him directly.And it is not the same as watching him uses the sword in person than just by listening to the story of storytellers.As for the sword sect, Wu Ming might not call himself a swordsman but everyone knows his sword is sublime and ethereal.For someone wh
The sword pointed to the ground, the blood dripping down from the tip hitting the ground.All those people being stabbed by him all falls to the ground, twitched a few times, coughed up some blood or look at him with hatred and not before long, there is no breathWhether they look him with hatred or not, in the end, their body could not withstand the sword energy ravaging all over their body and they all die one after anotherThe wind blows and there is only silence.Wu Ming stop moving, he halts his step and the wind blows his white robe, the blood dripping from the edges of the sword to the tip of the swordThis is Wu Ming.He kills people with style and elegance.One could even say he kills people so beautiful that it would not be a bad death to die under his sword‘What a Sword God!’ some people thought of this when they see this battle. It doesn’t feel like he is killing people at all.It was more
