Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Seeing Yanqing's unconvinced attitude, Jingliu teased him:

"Little brother, how about we have another match like last time? I'll show you how much your swordsmanship has improved."

"You just want to use me to clean up this place, right?" Yanqing said, hands on her hips, speechless.

"A prisoner who surrenders himself really knows how to boss people around."

"Heh...what, you're scared now?"

"Enough with the nonsense, just tell me how you want to compete!"

Jingliu looked ahead and smiled:

"You go first this time, and we'll meet at the Furnace of Creation."

"Hmph." Yan Qing responded, drew his longsword, and charged towards the demonic soldiers in front of him.

Seeing him run away, Dan Heng, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"Why did you deliberately send that child away?"

For no other reason than...

Jing Liu tilted his head slightly and looked at Dan Heng:

"It's been a long time since we've had a competition."

"..."

Dan Heng took a half step back, becoming wary.

“Miss Jingliu, I have no intention of fighting you.”

Seeing Dan Heng's expression, Jing Liu simply chuckled softly.

"I didn't ask you to point a gun at me. Aren't there enough bastards here for you to deal with?"

"This……"

"That's fine."

Seeing that Dan Heng and Jing Liu had rushed out again, the two Cloud Riders behind them became conflicted.

"Hey, that kid has already gone far away, aren't we going to follow him?" the Cloud Rider on the left asked.

"Why bother with him?" The Yunqi on the right scoffed at Yanqing.

"His thing is no match for the two of us in front of us. Let's hurry up and move on..."

Two cloud riders followed.

Ahead, Jingliu and Danheng are fighting together.

The light of swords and the shadows of spears intertwined.

As one monster after another fell, Jingliu laughed, sword in hand:

"Even if you are a reincarnated person, your every move is no different from that person's."

“You perform these movements as if you have never forgotten them…”

The two traveled onward, and wherever they went, the evil spirits were eliminated.

The two cloud riders behind them followed closely.

As Jingliu plunged his sword into the monster's chest, he looked at Danheng:

"This gun still recognizes you as its master."

"Yinyue, do you still remember the person who made it for you?"

Dan Heng frowned slightly:

“It has been with me ever since I was exiled…”

"I don't remember when I started waving it."

After defeating the monsters in this area, Jingliu stopped and did not continue forward.

Instead, he looked at Dan Heng with a complicated expression:

“You can convince yourself time and time again that you are the reincarnation of Danfeng, and that it has nothing to do with the crimes he committed; you can also insist that you have forgotten everything…”

“But you cannot escape the battle, Danheng… Your spear skills are exactly the same as the techniques used by Yinyue.”

"Battles are like forging, using flames to melt away impurities and reveal a person's inner nature."

Almost the entire journey, Jingliu referred to Danheng as Yinyue, rarely calling him by his real name, Danheng.

"This is what the person who forged this Cloud-Striking Spear for you said, do you remember?"

Jingliu crossed his arms and scrutinized Danheng's expression:

"Among us, if we're talking about who's closest to him, it can only be you."

"Heh, how strange, that arrogant fellow is having such a pleasant conversation with another one who looks down on everyone else?"

Dan Heng silently recalled the person Jing Liu had mentioned, and a distant voice involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

The voice was very cheerful, like that of an ambitious young person.

……

"I'd rather be a firefly drawn to a flame than a withered tree that lives forever! I will let all the people of the Immortal Ship know that my fleeting life on Yingxing Island is more valuable than their long and useless years!"

“…Ying Xing?” Dan Heng slowly uttered the name.

"Hmm, it seems you still remember his name."

Jingliu seemed quite satisfied, his tone carrying a hint of praise:

"When he was still a child, he was determined to avenge the evil creature and traveled across the starry sea to the Immortal Ship to learn the arts."

"When I first met him, his head was no taller than my sword, yet he boasted that he would learn all the crafts of the workshop by the age of one hundred."

"Ha... a mere puppy, yet it's as arrogant as the Dragon Lord."

("puppy?!")

("I also want to be Kagami-sama's puppy...")

("roll……!")

"I never thought much of his arrogant personality." Jingliu's face showed a look of reminiscence.

"Unexpectedly, when they met again, the weapons he had made were far beyond the reach of the craftsmen, and he even won the title of 'Master of All Metals' awarded to the head of the Bureau of Crafts."

("Wow, this guy's got talent!")

"Unfortunately, the League will not allow a short-lived species to take over the engineering department."

"In the end, he could only seek warmth among us outsiders."

"..."

"All right."

"We should go now; the little brother must be getting impatient."

Jingliu took the first step and walked towards the steps in front of him, with Danheng silently following behind.

On the platform, Yanqing had been waiting for a long time.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Yanqing turned around and said disdainfully:

"Big sister, you wouldn't have deliberately let me get there first, would you?"

"How could that be?" Jingliu crossed his arms, his expression quite amused.

"It's just that your swordsmanship has improved so rapidly that I can't keep up."

"..."

Faced with this forced praise, Yanqing looked slightly helpless.

He knew that this woman was just teasing him again.

"So this time, are we going to pay our respects to that short-lived senior?" Yanqing asked.

"Oh?"

Jingliu shook his head helplessly:

"It's not good to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Besides, when did I ever say he was no longer alive?"

"Eavesdropping? Please, you guys are talking way too loudly." Yan Qing looked at the two Cloud Riders behind him:

"Besides, aren't they listening? Why don't you chase them away?!"

Faced with Yan Qing's question, Jing Liu shook his head slightly again:

"I don't have the ability to drive away the Cloud Cavalry of Luofu. If they get angry and hurt me, I'll have nowhere to cry."

"You're just trying to fool me again," Yanqing snorted.

Chapter 355 I really came here for a medical treatment

According to Jingliu's previous description, the craftsman named Yingxing should be a short-lived species.

If it's a short-lived species... then how come it's still alive and thriving now?

"Given the lifespan of short-lived species, even hiding in a hibernation pod wouldn't prolong his life for long. Even if he were still alive, he would be an old man by now..." Yan Qing pondered.

Dan Heng, arms crossed, looked in the mirror and asked:

"He... transformed into an immortal being?"

"Hehe...you guessed right."

Jingliu confirmed Danheng's statement:

"Fate loves to play tricks on us."

"Some people, despite their dazzling intelligence and brilliant wisdom, always make the most foolish choices when their fate takes a turn."
