Just as Xie Wangsun was about to leave, Li Chengqian suddenly put down his teacup and said, "Yan Shisan, restrain your sword intent."
"You're going to scare my guests."
Everyone: 1.1? ? ?
Someone is releasing sword intent; no wonder I felt a chill on my neck just now.
Also, who is this Yan Shisan?
At this moment, a man in black in the hall stood up.
(According to the original novel, Yan Shisan is an old man, so this is based on the movie version.)
"Mr. Li, may I ask who Xie Xiaofeng's destined enemy is?"
Glancing at Yan Shisan below, Li Chengqian said calmly, "What, you want to kill Xie Xiaofeng's destined enemy?"
"And then go challenge Xie Xiaofeng?"
"Yes."
"Too bad, you can't kill him."
"why?"
"Because you are his destined enemy, the one you want to kill Xie Xiaofeng's destined enemy."
"He can only slit his own throat, so you can't kill him."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shisan's face immediately darkened.
This Mr. Li seems a bit mischievous!

Yan Shisan's eye twitched; he was very unhappy about being played.
"Mr. Li, since I am Xie Xiaofeng's destined enemy, can I defeat him?"
"can."
"If we were to duel, who would be the one to die in the end?"
"you."
Upon hearing this answer, Yan Shisan smiled.
"Hahaha!"
"Mr. Li, isn't your answer a bit too absurd?"
"If I can defeat him, why am I the one who will die?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled slightly.
"Strength can only determine victory or defeat; life and death are determined by fate. There are too many things in this world that are unpredictable."
"Who knows what the outcome will be until the sword slits your throat?"
"Hehehe!"
"Interesting. People in the martial arts world say that Mr. Li of Ping An Inn is a remarkable person, and now it seems that he is indeed so."
"Excuse me, am I third on the Sword God Ranking?"
"Yes."
Upon receiving the answer, Yan Shisan smiled and sat down, extending his right hand and saying with a smile, "Then please continue to announce the Sword God Ranking, Mr. Li."
"I also want to see what kind of person I am in Mr. Li's eyes."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Yan Shisan, ranked third on the Great Ming Sword God List."
"Sword energy stretches across thirty thousand miles, a single sword's light chills nineteen provinces."
"Yan Shisan, a man obsessed with the way of the sword."
"He has mastered the family's Thirteen Deadly Swords, and his swordsmanship has reached its pinnacle."
"However, Yan Shisan is different from Xie Xiaofeng. When Xie Xiaofeng was famous throughout the martial arts world, Yan Shisan was just a wanderer who had escaped from the white world and killed people in the red dust."
After wandering the world, he was almost devoid of desires and wants, and sought out the greatest swordsman in the world for a duel.
"So he devoted himself to studying swordsmanship for ten years, but when he learned that Xie Xiaofeng had died after ten years, he was heartbroken."
"He tried to find his sword by marking the boat on the green lake, and sank the precious sword that had been with him for twenty years to the bottom of the lake."

"This is very similar to the ancient story of Bo Ya breaking his zither and cutting its strings."
"Although the two never actually met, they were destined to be lifelong rivals."
"It all seems to be the arrangement of fate. If a peerless swordsman wants to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, then the only way is to sacrifice another swordsman."
"After comprehensive consideration, he was placed third on the Sword God Ranking."
After he finished speaking, all the travelers in the inn turned to look at Yan Shisan.
"Wow! He and Xie Xiaofeng have never met before, so why do they seem to have such great chemistry?"
"Don't you listen to audiobooks with your ears open?"
"Didn't Mr. Li mention that Yan Shisan and Xie Xiaofeng are destined rivals?"
"What is a destined enemy? Only enemies who are entangled for a lifetime can be called destined enemies."
"They don't even have this much teamwork, yet they dare to call themselves mortal enemies?"
“That’s true,” one of the wandering swordsmen nodded and said, “Third Brother, we’ve known each other for so long.”
"Our feelings go without saying. Why don't you make a sacrifice so that my swordsmanship can reach a higher level?"
"Pah! Why don't you offer a sacrifice? I want to go up to another level too!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of your sister-in-law after you die."
"Damn it! I was just joking, you actually had designs on my wife!"
"I'm not done with you!"
Amidst the commotion below, Li Chengqian smiled at Yan Shisan and asked, "Yan Shisan, are what I said accurate?"
"Not a single word is wrong, but Mr. Li hasn't yet explained why I was able to make it onto the Sword God Ranking."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears.
Is Yan Shisan testing Mr. Li?
I don't know why, but I always want to see Mr. Li make a mistake.
Faced with Yan Shisan's question, Li Chengqian smiled calmly.
"Since it was you who made the request, I'll tell you. But don't blame me if you lose the sword fight."
"Yan Shisan's skills are all in his family's Thirteen Deadly Swords, which is a set of exquisite sword techniques."
"But in the martial arts world, this only ranks as first-rate. It's absolutely impossible to climb the Sword God Ranking with this kind of swordsmanship."
"Yan Shisan was able to rank on the Sword God List because he derived a fourteenth variation from the Thirteen Deadly Swords."
Upon hearing this, the innkeepers began to discuss it again.
"Can you enter the Sword God Ranking just by creating a single sword move?"
"I created a sword move a few months ago, so why didn't I make it onto the Sword God Ranking?"
"Pooh!"
"You think you can get into the Sword God Ranking?"
"Yan Shisan created the Fourteen Deadly Swords only after he had thoroughly mastered the Thirteen Deadly Swords."
"You haven't even mastered the most basic swordsmanship, what are you even trying to create!"
"Do you have hair? Go play somewhere else, you little brat."
Some greenhorns new to the world of martial arts were severely reprimanded by seasoned veterans.
However, someone stood up and asked, "Mr. Li, Yan Shisan entered the Sword God Ranking third with this fourteenth sword."
"Could you describe what that sword strike felt like?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head, saying, "This guest, you are mistaken."
"It's true that Yan Shisan entered the Sword God Ranking with his fourteenth sword, but he can't get into the top three with just the fourteenth sword."
"What truly propelled Yan Shisan into the top three was the yet-to-be-revealed fifteenth sword."
Everyone:? ? ?
How did a fifteenth sword appear? Don't tell me there's a sixteenth sword coming later.
"This fifteenth sword symbolizes death and destruction; once drawn, death is certain, and the heavens and earth tremble."
"With this sword, Yan Shisan can slay King Wu!"
brush!
Everyone in the inn stood up in unison, staring wide-eyed at Li Chengqian.
It's not that people are ignorant; this news is just too shocking.
Martial King realm experts are legendary figures; most people have never even heard of them, let alone seen them.
Now Mr. Li is telling himself that Yan Shisan can kill King Wu with his sword.
This is simply a fantasy!
"Mr. Li, I'm not questioning you, but isn't it a bit too exaggerated to say that he killed King Wu with a sword?"
A wandering swordsman smiled awkwardly, seemingly trying to find some comfort in himself and prevent his values from collapsing.
However, Li Chengqian picked up his teacup and slowly said, "Do you understand what a sword is?"
"The sword is the king of all weapons, a sacred item of ancient times, supreme and noble, revered by both humans and gods. It is the ancestor of short weapons, a weapon for close combat, and with its profound art and skill, it has entered the realm of the mysterious and legendary."
"The eighteen commonly used weapons each have their own strengths, and it's really hard to say which one is the most powerful."
