Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 117 The Sword of Revenge
One last question: Between you and Xie Yu of Dongshan, who is more handsome?

Zhang Hua remained silent.

He had read all these books, consulted others, and explained these principles to his classmates.

He received praise from everyone every time, but never for himself.

Suddenly, a terrible thought occurred to me: what if I really lacked the talent and knowledge?
His body was trembling slightly.

If it's true, then what about fox spirits, ornamental columns, and the tomb of King Zhao of Yan?
A thousand thoughts swirled in my mind, and in the end, I shouted with some hesitation.

"Please ask Xie Yu to come out and meet us!"

In their haste, they lost their resolve for revenge.

Surely it can't be me, Xu, who's good at manipulating people, right? No way.

Just then, he saw a glimpse of a blue skirt appear among the rocks and breathed a sigh of relief. He then ordered someone to summon all three heroes.

The reasons have been explained; it's time to get a little ruthless.

If Xie Yu is a fox spirit, then everyone else is a fox spirit too? The entire Chongqi can't be a den of fox spirits, can it?

Let this instructor see if your will is as firm as steel.
The three of them were not surprised to see Zhang Hua and Instructor Xu when they arrived at the Stone Forest. They bowed and stood aside.

"This is Zhang Hua, do you remember him?"

Xie Yu revealed a hypocritical smile befitting a member of a prominent family and said he remembered.

Then Zhang Hua's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared wildly in his heart: He actually forgot about me!
How tragic! The revenge I longed for was so exciting, but my enemy didn't even remember such a trivial matter.

Xu Xuan sighed. This student was good in every way, except that he wasn't sincere enough when he was lying.

"Ahem, Zhang is a serious person and hopes to witness real knowledge and skills. You must not embarrass Chongqi."

The three understood; this person must have offended Master Xu, so he had them come to give him a severe beating.

Qiao Feng went first, starting with a debate on righteousness versus profit: "A gentleman understands righteousness, while a petty person understands profit."

Calm, profound, simple, yet unsolvable.

This is the realm of profound skill appearing effortless.

A moment later, Zhang Hua's desire for revenge diminished by a third, and the sword intent behind him weakened somewhat.

Qian Zhongyu then took the exam again, choosing the topic "The Nature of Ordinary People".

This student has been losing in recent literary competitions, which has fueled his competitive spirit.

This time I finally found an opponent I could barely hold my own against, but who wasn't really that good, and I vented my frustration on them.

His face was sarcastic, his words were sharp, and his aura was overwhelming.

It almost shattered Zhang Hua's desire for revenge.

Xu Xuan was also worried that the other party would suddenly pull out a weapon and attack Zhong Yu instead of Xie Yu.

Fortunately, the transition went smoothly, and we reached the last position.

Xie Yu's appearance, with his gentle and refined demeanor, was almost meaningless.

Xu Xuan's scope is: Laozi and Zhuangzi, Fengzi and Yazi, the Ten Sages, the Three Powers, the Eight Admonitions and the Five Rites.

Whatever the fox spirit is good at, Xie Yu is also good at, and even better at.

What could drive Zhang Hua to utter despair, something even more profound than the science of fox spirits? He couldn't fathom it.

After the competition, Xie Yu planned to offer a rather courteous gesture of concern, but Xu Xuan quickly stopped him.

"Alright, alright, you three can go back to class now."

If we don't leave now, we'll get caught in the crossfire, in a physical sense.

Theoretically, the other party should also transform by now.

As expected, the man lowered his head and fell silent, his soul fire nearly extinguished.

Then he looked up to the sky and sighed: "A leaf can block out Mount Tai; two beans can block out thunder. It turns out I was just looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."

Zhang Hua suddenly felt relieved, realizing that he was simply not good at academics.

This suspicion arose after Chongqi's defeat last time, but Lei Shi disappeared without a trace upon seeing him.

Now, under the influence of the academy's refined culture, one can no longer deceive one's true nature.

I also want to take this opportunity to clear up some doubts.

"Instructor, what exactly is a monster?"

what?
“You are no ordinary person; you have been wary of the sword in its sheath ever since I entered.”

"Your words and actions are virtuous, your behavior is kind, and you've been trying to enlighten this foolish person like me." "You must be a truly good person, so please tell me."

Zhang Hua bowed.

This 180-degree turn left Xu Xuan somewhat bewildered. Had he suddenly become enlightened?

That's good too, saves me the trouble of doing it myself.

"Monsters are those whose essence and energy rely on things. When the energy is disordered within, things change outwardly; form, spirit, temperament, and nature are the functions of the exterior and interior. They are based on the Five Elements and are connected to the Five Affairs. Although they rise and fall, and transform in countless ways, their signs of good and bad fortune can all be discussed within their scope."

So that's how it is. The essence of heaven and earth was initially without distinction between good and evil.

That fox spirit was truly just a scholarly demon.

Suddenly everything became clear, but the tragedy only intensified, and a new wave of hatred surged into my heart.

Amidst the bitter laugh, a murderous aura surged between his brows, startling Xu Xuan so much that he almost attacked.

“Instructor Xu, it’s laughable, but my revenge is already halfway complete.”

half?
"Indeed, that arrogant frog in the well has been killed."

"The other half should be left to the culprit."

He calmly placed the wooden box among the stones and got up to leave.

Leaving behind a bewildered instructor, is this a direct drop of a divine weapon?
Xiaoqing also jumped out, and the two of them opened the box together.

"What are these? Two rusty, broken swords."

Xu Xuan frowned in thought, then suddenly understood something, closed the wooden box and carried it on his back.

"This is the body of an unparalleled divine weapon, but its will has already gone with its owner!"

"Chase!"

The moment Zhang Hua stepped out of the mountain gate, his last glimmer of hope vanished.

Only the body continues to walk.

When I got halfway up the mountain, I saw the person who was once both my teacher and friend.

Lei Huan was filled with shock and anger. "Where's my sword?!"
The first thing I did was to question this bastard.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of them emitted a bright light from their eyes, and two terrifying sword energies burst forth from their body.

Lei Huan! Zhang Hua is dead!

Two beams of sword light, reaching to the heavens and earth, carrying the resolute determination and grief of regicide and revenge, suddenly ripped through the sky like two silver lightning bolts piercing the heavens.

Wherever the sword light passed, space seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind shocking cracks.

The intent of the sword is not only to kill the enemy, but also to resist the injustice and tyranny of the world.

Lei Huan was shocked and used all his strength to defend himself.

Ultimately, the two beams of light sliced ​​through the array flags, magical power, physical bodies, and rocks.

When Xu Xuan and Xiao Qing arrived, they only saw the broken cliff, Zhang Hua standing there with his eyes wide open in anger, and an arm on the ground.

Looking into the wooden box again, the two rusty swords had regained some of their luster.

"So it was Gan Jiang and Mo Xie!"

Xiaoqing was puzzled.

"This is the sword that kills the king, and it is also the sword that seeks revenge."

There is a legend that a husband and wife made swords for the King of Chu. The swords were male and female, and it took three years to complete. The king was furious and wanted to kill them.

"When Gan Jiang died, his wife gave birth to a son."

"The king dreamt of a boy with a wide brow, who said he wanted revenge. The king immediately offered a thousand pieces of gold for him. Upon hearing this, the boy ran away and went into the mountains to sing."

"When he met a chivalrous knight-errant, he was willing to go to the capital to assassinate the King of Chu. He then committed suicide by cutting his own throat, and presented his head and sword to the king with both hands."

"The guest took the head to the King of Chu, who was overjoyed. The head was boiled for three days and three nights, but it did not rot. The head jumped out of the soup, glaring angrily. The guest said, 'This child's head will not rot. I wish Your Majesty would go and see it for yourself. It will surely rot.' The king went to see it. The guest pointed a sword at the king, and the king's head fell into the soup. The guest also pointed a sword at his own head, and his head fell into the soup as well."

This is one of the legends of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, who were born with the intention of killing and regicide.

It seems Zhang Hua gained the divine weapon's approval through his desire for revenge before his death, which is a pity.
This final sword strike, a sword of vengeance, was indeed magnificent.
