Martial Arts Crossover: Inheriting the Legacy of the Human Sword Saint! Li Hanyi Confesses Her Love

Then came a fit of coughing.

Inside the silent Listening Tide Pavilion, the echo of that cough seemed to continue reverberating.

After the strategist's expression softened a bit, he said, "I won't play. You always like to take back your moves."

"Not as good as that kid Feng Nian."

Xu Xiao grinned and shouted, "Nascent Soul cultivator, you know I'm a terrible chess player, let's play a game!"

"I guarantee I won't take back my move this time!"

Li Yishan did not refuse. He put down the wine bag and put the books on the table aside, which was considered as tacit approval.

As the butcher Xu Xiao's appearance aged, he reached under the table and picked up the chessboard, then spread it on the table.

He placed the black pieces in front of himself and pushed the white chess bowl to Li Yishan.

After each of them took a sip of green ant soup, they placed their pieces more than ten steps away.

"Nascent Soul cultivator, should we continue to cultivate the Chu Kuangnu storyline?"

Today, during the daytime, after Xu Fengnian released Chu Kuangnu, Xu Xiao sent someone to notify Lao Huang to go and suppress him.

Thirty years ago, suppressing Chu Kuangnu to the bottom of the lake was also a scheme devised by the peerless strategist Li Yishan on the other side.

So many years have passed, Xu Xiao doesn't know if this chess piece still has any value.

The sickly-looking strategist pondered over a white chess piece before saying, "The Northern Barbarians are gaining momentum, and Li Yang is also restless."

"Only by placing these chess pieces neatly in the four corners can I feel at ease about the score."

Xu Xiao nodded; he never doubted Li Yishan's plans.

Since the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was precisely because of this strategist's planning that Bei Han was able to occupy three states without being overly constrained by Li Yang.

"Old Huang went to Wudi City?"

Xu Xiao waited for Li Yishan, who was busy shaping the white pieces, to make his move.

Hey!

With the white pieces placed, the previously evenly matched situation began to change significantly.

Xu Xiao frowned slightly as he looked at the situation on the chessboard.

"Jian Jiuhuang stayed in the Northern Cold King's Mansion to suppress the old monster at the bottom of the lake."

While waiting for Xu Xiao to make his move, Li Yishan took another sip of green ant wine.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Now that Chu Kuangnu has been played, Jian Jiuhuang should naturally leave."

After a long silence, Xu Xiao made his move and said, "How much of a chance does Jian Jiuhuang's Nine Swords Six Thousand Miles have against that old monster Wang from Martial Emperor City?"

The strategist Li Yishan casually placed a piece, then raised a withered finger.

"One percent?"

Li Yishan shook his head, "There's not even a 10% chance of winning."

"well--"

After a sigh, Xu Xiao grabbed the wine flask and took another sip.

He sighed, "Feng Nian is a sentimental child. Jian Jiu Huang accompanied him for three years and six thousand miles."

"I don't know if he can handle this outcome."

Compared to the butcher Xu Xiao, the strategist Li Yishan, who holds the white pieces in his hand, is more like a strict father.

"As the eldest son of the Northern Cold King, he must bear the burden of inheriting the vast legacy of 300,000 iron cavalry."

Xu Xiao nodded, his hand settling the black piece down!

"By the way, why did that Minister Nangong you were interested in leave?"

"Didn't they say that after ten years of cultivation in the pavilion, apart from that Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm at Wangjian Mountain, she was unmatched among all living beings?"

The strategist Li Yishan made his move and said with a wry smile, "It's precisely because of the Martial Saint of Wangjian Mountain."

"His allure to these young masters is far greater than that of a mere armory or a pavilion."

"Too!"

Xu Xiao grabbed the wine flask, took a swig, and nodded in agreement, saying, "If I were twenty years younger, I would also like to go to Wangjian Mountain and ask for an opportunity with that Martial Saint."

After the white pieces on the opposite side were placed, Xu Xiao, the butcher who had been glancing at the chessboard out of the corner of his eye, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"and many more!"

As he spoke, Xu Xiao, one of the top non-human kings of the Li Yang Dynasty and the only Grand Pillar of State in the court, shamelessly reached out and grabbed the white piece that had just been placed.

This piece landed right on the black piece's life gate!

"Didn't we agree that there would be no taking back a move?"

Li Yishan looked at Xu Xiao, somewhat displeased.

At this moment, Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Cold, looked more like a bad chess player who refused to admit defeat after losing a game on the street.

Grinning, he said, "Just once, just once!"

"You've completely blocked my escape route, how am I supposed to make any moves?"

The strategist Li Yishan, sitting opposite him, simply looked away and ignored him.

After Xu Xiao changed the chess pieces, Li Yishan spoke up: "Today, the Second Princess went to the Northern Cold Camp, leading eight hundred Wei Xiong soldiers to Snow Moon City."

Xu Xiao, engrossed in studying the chess game, replied, "I know about this."

"I have made preliminary arrangements regarding this matter."

"I've come today to discuss this with you."

Li Yishan took a sip of wine, then coughed violently twice, waiting for Xu Xiao to speak.

"Tomorrow I will have Chen Zhibao lead three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders to Snowmoon City, what do you say?"

The strategist Li Yishan nodded in agreement, his breathing somewhat weak due to coughing.

But he still spoke up, analyzing, "The purpose of this trip is twofold: firstly, to prevent anyone from harming the Second Princess;"

"Secondly, if we could invite that martial saint from Wangjian Mountain to come down the mountain and enter the Northern Cold."

“Kill two birds with one stone!”

Xu Xiao waved his sleeve, tilted his head back, and gulped down a mouthful of wine.

He laughed loudly, "Interesting!"

"The Northern Cold Sword Inquiry in Snow Moon City has shocked the world!"

Chapter 36 What kind of charm does Ye Fan possess that drives women all over the world crazy for him?!

The frigid north!

On the wide road, a procession was moving slowly forward.

In the carriage.

"What's so special about this martial arts saint that even my second sister is completely captivated by him!"

Xu Fengnian looked puzzled.

Ever since I can remember, my second older sister has always had a cold and unapproachable demeanor.

Sometimes, Xu Fengnian even wondered if his second sister simply looked down on any man in the world!

Especially that aura; whenever Xu Fengnian recalled it, he couldn't help but shudder.

She simply couldn't understand why her second sister would go to Wangjian Mountain for the sake of Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal World.

He even said those words in front of the whole world.

Even though the entire Northern Cold Prince's Mansion was talking about this, Xu Fengnian still found it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, this was so different from the second sister she remembered!

Just as Xu Fengnian was wondering, Qingniao and Hongshu, who had accompanied him, looked on with admiration.

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, is the most devoted lover in the world."

"For Li Hanyi, he was willing to endure twenty years of loneliness and cultivate in Wangjian Mountain day after day for twenty years."

"To this day, he has cultivated to the level of a martial saint in the human world."

"So that I can stay by the side of my beloved."

"Such a man is the dream lover of every woman in the world."

"Even someone like the Second Miss would inevitably be tempted."

As Qingniao recounted Ye Fan's deeds, a slight blush appeared on her pretty face.

Clearly, Qingniao also hopes to have a man who would do these things for her.

Xu Fengnian, however, was unconcerned: "With Second Sister's qualifications and status, if she were willing, countless men in the world would be willing to do anything for her."
