Chapter 427 Sword Master: Are you worthy?

The Sword Master was defeated.

In front of everyone, he personally admitted that he was defeated by Ying Xun.

From beginning to end, Ying Xun only used two moves.

Of course, according to Ying Xun, there are three moves.

But no matter whether it was two moves or three moves, they couldn't understand what was happening in front of them. They just watched Ying Xun and the Sword Saint confront each other. The Sword Saint's sword intent became more and more powerful, and even sword energy overflowed from his body, leaving many sword marks on the walls and the ground. Then he looked shocked and his body trembled slightly.

But everyone saw the last sword clearly.

The breath of death contained in the sword intent made people feel as if their lives were being harvested, even if it was just eye contact. They were like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

That kind of indescribable fear will probably never be forgotten in my lifetime.

This is no longer a sword technique that should exist in the human world, but it exists in the world nonetheless.

It is understandable that the Sword Master was defeated by such a sword.

Relatively speaking, the Sword Master actually couldn't accept the fact that he was defeated by Ying Xun's sword. However, no matter how hard it was to accept, he was defeated, and he still dared to admit this fact.

"Have you reached the Heavenly Sword realm?"

"After the battle with Xiong Ba in Tianxiahui, I gained some insights into swordplay. Two days ago, I also comprehended the Love of the City and luckily made a breakthrough." Ying Xun nodded modestly, and finally said with emotion: "I have to say that the Love of the City is really amazing. Your Sword Twenty-Two is still a little bit behind it."

“So that’s how it is.” The Sword Saint suddenly realized and sighed, “As the sword poem says: The metaphysical sword has never existed in the ancient times, and all swords revere it and worship it like a god. Although I am one with the sword, I am still just a sword. I surrender to the sword of heaven. Hehehe, I never thought that I could see the glory of the sword of heaven in my lifetime. God has been kind to me.”

"Old Sword Saint, you're talking as if you're going to die soon, even though you still have time to live." Ying Xun said speechlessly.

"Thanks to you, I won't die for a while, but..."

The Sword Master sighed deeply, and did not say the rest. He just felt unwilling to accept the defeat he had received from Wuming and Ying Xun successively after he had devoted his entire life to sword fighting.

It would be fine if he was nameless, but at least he was once a martial arts legend.

Ying Xun is just a newcomer who has just made his debut.

For a swordsman who regards the sword as more important than life, this is undoubtedly more painful than killing him.

Ying Xun could understand and said with a smile: "It's just the Heavenly Sword Realm. With your talent in swordsmanship, it's only a matter of time. Don't be so pessimistic. I'm still waiting to learn your Sword Twenty-Three."

The sword and man are in harmony, man and nature are in harmony. As long as the swordsman is willing, all things in the world, every flower and every blade of grass, are swords in his hand. This is the so-called realm of heavenly sword. Currently, the sword master has only comprehended the unity of man and sword, and has not yet reached the realm of unity of man and nature. This is because the sword master was ruthless before.

Just as Ying Xun said before: The sword is ruthless, but the world is full of love.

Only those with emotions can achieve the unity of man and nature, and only after achieving the unity of man and nature can they pursue the supreme sword path.

This is the same principle as what practitioners say about entering the world and leaving the world. You have not even experienced the secular world, so how can you talk about leaving the world?

According to Ying Xun's calculations, the sword after Sword Eighteen should be a sword that destroys the world.

Unfortunately, the Sword Master had a small accident and turned from a sentimental person into a ruthless person.

Fortunately, he has now become a man with love again, and with his talent in swordsmanship, it will be almost no problem for him to enter the realm of Heavenly Sword.

After hearing what Ying Xun said, the Sword Saint's eyes, which had been a little dim, suddenly brightened up, and his whole body was emitting sword energy and he was in high spirits.

"Hahaha, yes, you are right, there is also Sword Twenty-Three, there is also Sword Twenty-Three!"

As early as the last time Ying Xun stayed at the Sword Residence, the Sword Saint heard Ying Xun mention Sword Twenty-Three, but he had never had a clue. After seeing Ying Xun's sword today, he finally saw that sword.

Sword twenty-three!

The Sword Master could be sure that it was a sword technique that did not belong to the human world.

It surpassed the perfection he had imagined, surpassed the invincibility of the human world, surpassed the limits of the human world, and might even surpass what the Void Sword Scripture said, that one sword could shatter the void...

To describe that sword technique as perfect and invincible is to belittle it, because this sword may not only be able to shatter the void, but it may even be enough to freeze the void and make time stand still.

If it is brought to its full potential, it may be able to reverse time and space, and cause the sun, moon and stars to move. It can be said to be a sword of the gods.

The Sword Master imagined the grace of that sword in his mind and closed his eyes involuntarily. The sword energy that was originally scattered around his body began to gather and his breath became erratic.

"My goodness, is this an epiphany?"

Ying Xun was stunned, and finally cursed: "Fuck, didn't this old guy step in dog shit when he went out?!"

Dugu Yifang didn’t care whether the Sword Master stepped on dog shit when he went out. He cared about something else.

"Brother Ying, I just heard you say that your last move was Love in a Fallen City?"

"Yes, Brother Dugu, do you want to give it a try?"

Dugu Yifang shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Ying defeated my elder brother in two moves. I am no match for Brother Ying. It's just that Love of the Fallen City is the secret of Wushuang City. Even my Dugu family only has a few words in ancient books about it. Apart from the Dugu family, the only one who knows the secret of Love of the Fallen City is the Hua family who swore to protect Wushuang City back then, the descendants of Hua En, the daughter of Hua Tuo. So...Brother Ying, your last name is not Ying, but Hua, right?"

At the end of his speech, a hint of fear and murderous intent flashed in Dugu Yifang's eyes.

For him, the biggest threat right now is no longer Xiongba, but the descendants of the Hua family.

After all, the Hua family has been oppressed for thousands of years by successive city lords. If he were a member of the Hua family, he would definitely usurp the position of city lord if he had the ability.

In his opinion, Ying Xun was a descendant of the Hua family, and the Hua family was pushing him forward now, probably because they had been plotting in secret for many years.

All the experts who were watching, including the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and Hei Tong on a tall building in the distance, were all confused by what they heard.

What Hua family?
What is Hua En, daughter of Hua Tuo?
Hei Tong was stunned for a moment, then a murderous look flashed across his eyes: "Master, I'm afraid the Human-Faced Envoy is hiding something from you, so you better be careful."

The human-faced messenger she mentioned is Dugu Yifang.

Demon Lord Bai Suzhen was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "I'm afraid he has had ulterior motives for a long time. This time he sent a letter to invite me here, saying that he wanted to deal with the Sword Saint, but in fact he had also thought of using the Sword Saint to deal with me."

As the saying goes: The sins of all living beings are so numerous that even the Buddha in heaven cannot save them. Only I, the devil, can save them.

Bai Suzhen calls herself a demon, and what she wants is to save all living beings, abolish the monarchy and realize "democracy".

I have to say, this woman's ideas are really too advanced.

It was for this idea that she placed her human messenger in Wushuang City, making him the city lord of Wushuang City, thereby controlling the world of martial arts.

The reason why she suddenly came to Wushuang City was because the Human-Faced Envoy was worried that the Sword Saint's improvement would affect his rule in Wushuang City, so he invited her to deal with the Sword Saint.

But now it seems that the greed of the Human-Faced Envoy is becoming increasingly difficult to satisfy, and I'm afraid he has already had second thoughts.

Under the guise of dealing with the Sword Saint, she let both the Sword Saint and her suffer losses, and she could reap the benefits.

"Master, do you want to get rid of him?"

Bai Suzhen was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "No hurry, the most important thing is to hunt down King Jing first, and by the way, find out what the relationship is between this so-called Hua family and Wushuang City."

Among all the people present, except Dugu Yifang, the real descendant of the Hua family hiding in the dark, and Grandma Wushuang, perhaps only Ying Xun knew about the grievances between the Dugu family and the Hua family.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Dugu family produced a remarkable woman, who was the eldest daughter of Wushuang City at that time.

This woman has been naturally intelligent since childhood, has read widely, is proficient in the art of the five elements, and has an excellent talent for martial arts. In short, she is a rare genius in history.

Not only did she learn all the martial arts inherited from the Dugu family, she also learned the fierce and domineering "Dragon-Subduing Divine Leg" from the Book of Changes, and created two unique skills, "Unparalleled Divine Finger" and "Unparalleled Swordsmanship". Later, this woman married the martial saint Guan Gong. Because she was so extraordinary and unparalleled in the world, someone gave her the title of "Unparalleled Lady".

This Madam Wushuang is Dugu Lianer.

The move of Love of a Fallen City, the "fallen city" here refers to the Martial Saint's sword that falls to the city, and "love" refers to Dugu Lian'er's love.

According to folk legend, in addition to beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and passing five passes and killing six generals, Guan Yu also has a very famous story - scraping bones to heal wounds.

Back then, Guan Erye was ambushed, shot in the arm by an arrow, and was poisoned by a rare poison called "Three Days of Soul-Snatching".

What follows is a clichéd and bloody plot. This strange poison requires the mysterious Yin energy of a virgin as a medicine, and the person who sacrifices herself is Hua Tuo's daughter - Hua En.

Hua En is a beauty who is as beautiful as Dugu Lian'er, and she also has extraordinary medical skills. She also admires Guan Yu.

Later, before leaving for Jingzhou, Guan Erye asked Dugu Lian'er to take good care of Hua En, because Hua En was pregnant with his child at that time.

Later on, Guan Erye was defeated and fled to Maicheng.

Although Dugu Lian'er didn't like Hua En, she still took good care of him because of her late husband's instructions.

It’s a pity that Hua En, out of jealousy, spoke harshly to Dugu Lian'er and finally left without saying goodbye.

Coincidentally, at that time, Dongwu sent experts to capture Hua En, and just when Hua En was about to fall into the hands of Dongwu, Dugu Lian'er arrived.

Facing hundreds of Dongwu masters, Dugu Lian'er tried her best and finally broke out of the siege with Hua En, but she herself was seriously injured. Even after treatment, she didn't have much time left.

The two women made peace with each other over this matter. In the last days of her life, Dugu Lian'er designed a mechanism to seal Guan Yu's love in Wushuang City.

Afterwards, she exhausted all her efforts to simplify Love in a Fallen City into Love in Seventh Lifetime which only had 1% of its power and passed it on to Hua En, so that Hua En would have the power to protect himself after her death.

Moved by Dugu Lian'er's kindness, Hua En made a vow that the descendants of the Hua family would protect Wushuang City and the descendants of the Dugu family for generations to come.

The Dugu family once fell into decline, and it was with the help of the descendants of the Hua family that they were able to regain the Dugu family's ancestral heritage - Wushuang City.

It was also because of this incident that Wushuang City was co-governed by the Dugu family and the Hua family for a period of time.

Afterwards, the Hua family was feared by the Dugu family and was almost wiped out.

However, the descendants of the Hua family have always followed the oath of their ancestors and did not betray Wushuang City. They just changed their surname to "Ming" and hid in Wushuang City again, secretly guarding Wushuang City and the Dugu family.

Of course, the story of the Hua family helping the Dugu family to retake Wushuang City, as well as the subsequent co-governance, were all told by Grandma Wushuang and Ying Xun. What the actual situation was, probably only history knows.

And now Dugu Yifang, or the Human-Faced Envoy, obviously regarded Ying Xun as a member of the Hua family who had been guarding Wushuang City.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems understandable that the fake Dugu Yifang would have such an idea.

Not only did Ying Xun use the Love of a Fallen City, he also let the Hua family's descendant, Grandma Wushuang, follow him around, which is indeed easy for people to think of something wrong.

The flash of murderous intent in Dugu Yifang's eyes naturally did not escape Ying Xun's perception. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Dugu, do you want to attack me?"

Although the Dugu Yifang in front of him was a fake, he had been the city lord of Wushuang City for many years. Naturally, he knew a lot of secrets of Wushuang City from the ancient books of Wushuang City.

Before this, he was not worried about the Ming family who changed their surname from Hua to Ming. After all, the Ming family posed no threat to him.

But now, the Ming family has a master like Ying Xun, so he can't help but worry.

But, he probably couldn't beat Ying Xun right now.

So, Dugu Yifang laughed and said, "Brother Hua, you are joking. Your Hua family and my Dugu family are brothers. Besides, I am not your opponent, brother Hua, so how could I attack you, my brother?"

Ying Xun shook his head and sighed: "That's really a pity."

Isn't it a pity that there is no excuse to kill myself?

Dugu Yifang's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be puzzled: "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that I can't have a fight with you, brother Dugu. It just so happens that I just fought with the old Sword Saint and gained some insights into the Holy Spirit Sword Technique." Ying Xun said, sighing: "Alas, although I don't want to admit it, the overall strength of the old Sword Saint is better than mine. But with you, brother Dugu, I can let go and fight with you."

Damn, monster!

Dugu Yifang cursed inwardly, clasped his fists and congratulated, "Congratulations, Brother Hua, on making further progress in your swordsmanship. You are so talented, I really envy you."

"Brother Dugu, you are wrong." Ying Xun shook his head and laughed, "I probably know why you misunderstood, but I have to say, you guessed wrong. My last name is Ying, and I have nothing to do with the Hua family."

Dugu Yifang's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Whether your last name is Ying or Hua, you are still my good brother. Let's go, today we are brothers, we must have a good drink together."

As expected, those who can become overlords are shameless people.

Ying Xun smiled and said, "Brother Dugu, the old Sword Saint is still here having his epiphany. Isn't it inappropriate for us to just leave like this?"

Dugu Yifang slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I should wait a while."

Afterwards, Dugu Yifang asked the disciples of Wushuang City to block the entire street, and Ying Xun also asked Grandma Wushuang to take Youruo for a stroll in the city. After all, based on his understanding of Youruo, she probably wouldn't be able to sit still.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sun quietly rose from the east to directly overhead.

Three quarters past noon.

The Sword Saint's aura suddenly burst out, his sword intent soared into the sky, and the sword energy in his body overflowed again.

Ying Xun was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He used his sword as a prison and exerted all his strength to dissolve the overflowing sword energy.

"The Sword Master has failed."

On a tall building in the distance, the Demon Lord shook his head and called to Hei Tong, "Let's go too."

"Yes, Master."

Before he finished his words, the two figures flashed and, with their superb martial arts skills, turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared.

Ying Xun looked back, then looked at Dugu Yifang, and finally set his gaze on the Sword Saint and sighed with some regret.

After about ten breaths, the Sword Master suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"puff!"

Just as the Demon Lord said, the Sword Master failed to comprehend Sword Twenty-Three, and his aura suddenly weakened.

However, his sword intent was much more solid and powerful than before, which showed that he had gained a lot.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Dugu Yifang stepped forward and was about to help the Sword Saint, but was forced back by the Sword Saint with a flick of his long sleeves.

Ying Xun smiled and said, "Old Sword Saint, it seems you have gained a lot."

The Sword Saint wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled, "I have gained a little, a little. Although I have not yet comprehended the twenty-third sword you mentioned, I think I will be able to break through the realm of the Heavenly Sword after a period of retreat. It's all thanks to you. Let's go to the Sword Residence and have a drink."

"Brother, I have prepared a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion to welcome Brother Ying."

This time, the Sword Master finally gave Dugu Yifang a look, and it was an extremely cold look.

"You are worthy of entertaining Ying boy?"
