"Xie Xiaofeng, the third young master of Shenjian Manor!"
"I never thought he was still alive, and that I would have the chance to fight him again in this lifetime."
Ximen Chuixue gripped his sword tightly, his emotions clearly agitated.
Sword God Xie Xiaofeng was once the idol of countless swordsmen and the goal they pursued.
Ximen Chuixue's biggest regret was that he had never fought Xie Xiaofeng.
Now I can finally fulfill this wish.
On the white jade platform,
Su Chen felt the intense gazes surrounding him, smiled slightly, and slowly said:
"Let's start with Xie Xiaofeng, who is sixth on the Sword Immortal Ranking."
"Everyone should be familiar with this sword immortal."
"As the third young master of the Divine Sword Manor, a top sword-wielding family in the Ming Dynasty, Xie Xiaofeng has been the center of attention since birth."
"And he certainly did not disappoint his family, showing amazing swordsmanship talent from a young age, which attracted more and more attention."
"In order to enhance the reputation of Shenjian Villa, Xie Wangsun took Xie Xiaofeng to challenge famous masters everywhere, and even went so far as to use various means to eliminate swordsmen who might threaten Xie Xiaofeng."
"For example, there was a swordsman who had already retired from the martial arts world, but Xie Wangsun did not spare him. Xie Xiaofeng defeated him and even wiped out his entire family."
"This kind of life put Xie Xiaofeng under tremendous pressure, which made him develop an aversion to swords."
"So Xie Xiaofeng gave up the sword, gave up the title of Sword God, and chose to fake his death and hide."
"Compared to the third young master of Shenjian Villa or the world-renowned Sword God, he would rather be an ordinary person."
"Next, let's talk about the fifth-ranked Sword Immortal, Yan Shisan."
"This person and Xie Xiaofeng can be said to be destined rivals."
"In the past, the Yan family was a renowned swordsmanship family in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty. Their 'Thirteen Deadly Swords' sword technique was famous far and wide."
"Whether in terms of reputation or the inheritance of swordsmanship, the Yan family at that time was in no way inferior to the Divine Sword Manor."
"Unfortunately, the Yan family's talent pool dwindled in that generation, and as a result, the Divine Sword Manor seized the opportunity and wiped them out in one fell swoop."
"So, the Yan family and the Xie family have a deep-seated hatred for each other."
"Xie Xiaofeng was born with dazzling talent and was determined to win the title of Sword God and defeat all the swordsmen in the world."
"As for Yan Shisan, he was just an unknown wanderer in the martial arts world."
"He had only one thought in his mind: to defeat Xie Xiaofeng, the strongest successor of Shenjian Villa, and avenge the annihilation of his family."
"To achieve this goal, Yan Shisan began to practice swordsmanship diligently from a young age."
"At the age of fifteen, he mastered the family's Thirteen Deadly Swords to its peak, making him the fastest person in the history of the Yan family to master this sword technique."
"But he didn't stop there. Based on the Thirteen Deadly Swords, he deduced the fourteenth sword, and even the fifteenth sword!"
"Especially the fifteenth sword, which is extremely dangerous. When Yan Shisan unleashes it with his cultivation level, its power is comparable to a strike from a master of the Divine Realm!"
"However, if there is even the slightest mistake, one will be corrupted by the demonic energy in the sword technique, thus going into qi deviation."
"Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, we will temporarily rank him fifth on the Sword Immortal Ranking."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
I never expected Xie Xiaofeng to still be alive.
But no one expected that Xie Xiaofeng's disappearance for ten years was actually due to being unable to withstand the immense pressure.
Only now do people realize that Xie Xiaofeng is also made of flesh and blood, not a god. Even if he wins every battle, he will still have times of fear and dread.
You could even say he's more afraid of failure than the average person.
This finally put an end to the doubts of those who had been wondering why Xie Xiaofeng had disappeared.
The higher you climb, the colder it gets; even geniuses have their troubles.
After hearing Su Chen's evaluation of Yan Shisan, all the swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty became excited.
No one knows this name, but "The Thirteen Deadly Swords" is already famous all over the world.
Back then, when the Divine Sword Manor destroyed the Yan family, they never expected to have missed Yan Shisan, a peerless master.
Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan!
The two emerged in the same era; one was the most powerful successor of the Divine Sword Manor, and the other was the most powerful successor of the Yan family.
It was as if fate had already arranged it.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating the epic duel between these two top swordsmen.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"My God! Sword God Xie Xiaofeng is really alive! My youth has returned!"
"I learned kendo because I admired Xie Xiaofeng, but I never expected his reputation to bring him so much pressure."
"So Xie Xiaofeng went into seclusion because of too much pressure. No wonder even the Divine Sword Manor couldn't find him."
"How terrifying Yan Shisan is! The 'Thirteen Deadly Swords' is famous in the martial arts world. He can even create two more moves. He's amazing."
"A half-step Divine Ascension Realm cultivator can actually unleash a sword strike from the Divine Ascension Profound Realm? This 'Fifteen Deadly Swords' is just too powerful!"
"The difference between the Half-Step Divine Realm and the Divine Realm is enormous. Yan Shisan's ability to challenge someone of a higher level is truly astounding!"
“There is always a price to pay for challenging someone of a higher level. I’m certain that Yan Shisan will suffer a qi deviation after using this sword.”
It's in the fifth private room on the south side of the fifteenth floor.
When Yan Shisan heard the news that Xie Xiaofeng was still alive, he finally felt at ease.
He stood up excitedly, walked straight out of the private room, and shouted:
"Yan Shisan greets the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
"I am willing to offer the sword manual of 'Fifteen Deadly Swords' as payment. Please tell me, Celestial Immortal, where Xie Xiaofeng is at this moment."
As soon as he said that, everyone in the hall turned their attention to him.
Many people were startled when they saw Yan Shisan's face covered in tattoos.
Is this Yan Shisan?
Everyone was both surprised and delighted.
Just as the Celestial Immortal had said, Yan Shisan's lifelong goal was to defeat Xie Xiaofeng.
In order to find him, he was even willing to bring out the "Fifteen Deadly Swords" that he had painstakingly created.
This also means that they are about to witness a legendary duel between sword immortals that will shock the martial arts world.
It's in the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile, "Isn't this the expert Brother Ximen mentioned before? Sure enough, he is one of the top six experts on the Sword Immortal Ranking."
The answer to Chapter 43 is revealed.
"This guy has a strong murderous aura; he must have killed a lot of people."
"With his strength, having killed so many people, he should have been famous in the underworld by now. How come I've never heard of him?"
Sikong Zhaixing was somewhat puzzled.
"Perhaps fame is not important to him at all; his only target is Xie Xiaofeng."
Hua Manlou said thoughtfully.
"Challenge Xie Xiaofeng? Then I can't miss this battle."
Ximen Chuixue gripped the hilt of his sword, and a chilling aura emanated from his body.
Su Chen had been waiting for someone to ask, and when he saw Yan Shisan take the bait, he immediately smiled.
In the original novel, Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan have almost equal screen time, making them essentially two main characters.
Therefore, Yan Shisan must have extremely good fortune.
I wonder what good things will be awarded this time.
Su Chen's mind was in turmoil. He stared at Yan Shisan for a few moments before activating the system.
The system quickly responded:
"Successfully told Yan Shisan's fortune."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the divine-level cultivation method, 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao'."
Upon hearing the notification sound, Su Chen's face immediately lit up with surprise.
Taiji Xuanqing Dao!
This mental cultivation method has finally been waiting for you!
Since obtaining the two signature sword techniques of the Qingyun Sect, "Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique" and "Slaying Ghosts and Gods," Su Chen has become even more eager to learn about the other unique skill of the Qingyun Sect, "Taiji Xuanqing Dao."
Although the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong" he is currently practicing is also a very powerful internal skill, it can almost be considered a celestial mental cultivation method.
However, compared to top-tier Taoist mental cultivation methods like "Taiji Xuanqing Dao," the gap is still too large.
Most importantly, only by basing oneself on the "Taiji Xuanqing Dao" can one truly unleash the power of the "Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique" and the "Slaying Ghosts and Gods".
As for the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong," it can serve as a mental cultivation method to assist the female protagonist in her cultivation, distinguishing it from the mental cultivation method she practices herself.
Thinking about this, Su Chen felt increasingly satisfied. He cheerfully unfolded his folding fan and loudly proclaimed:
"Xie Xiaofeng's place of seclusion is in Kuhai Town, Liuzhou."
"He now goes by the alias Aji and works as a handyman in the largest brothel in the area."
"It's worth mentioning that Xie Xiaofeng has recently gotten himself into trouble."
"He offended the biggest gang in the area, whose leader was nicknamed 'Big Boss,' in order to protect a woman named Wawa."
"Now this big boss is preparing to send someone to teach Xie Xiaofeng a lesson."
"But what he didn't know was that his boss's boss's boss was none other than Xie Xiaofeng's fiancée—"
