I am Jinshan Youxia

The swordsmen have already recognized the swordsman's name.

"Not bad." Zhang Chengyi didn't even sit up straight, and his tone of praise was very casual. His hand, which had been flicking his fingers, landed on the armrest, with no intention of making any further moves.

Jing Wuming flicked a letter onto the table without expression, then turned and drifted away.

This is a challenge letter, sent by Shangguan Jin Hong, the leader of the Money Gang, who considers himself the number one gang in the world.

In the martial arts world, it is indeed still the martial arts skills that determine who is superior, who wins, who is righteous, who is evil, and who is right or wrong.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Jin Hong chose the wrong opponent.

Li Xunhuan lowered his eyes. He knew that the Heavenly Mystery Elder, who ranked first on the Weapon Ranking, was in Baoding City, and Shangguan Jin Hong was certainly not far away.

The martial arts world is full of famous masters who have surrounded Xingyun Manor, and all the major sects have come out in full force.

Shaolin and the Beggars' Sect arrived early, waiting for the Money Gang, the number one gang in the world.

Shangguan Jin Hong possessed the pride of a martial artist and disdained bullying the weak with numbers. He wanted to test just how much this suddenly appearing master was capable of.

But Li Xunhuan knew that, let alone a mere Dragon and Phoenix Ring, even if the few remaining people ranked on the Weapon Ranking joined forces, they probably wouldn't have a chance to defeat Zhang Chengyi.

Once Shangguan Jin Hong is defeated, the entire martial arts world will launch a siege against Xingyun Manor. Whether it is him, or Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin, they will all be the targets of elimination.

Zhang Chengyi's solution to this predicament will be the simplest and most brutal: killing and enslaving. After this battle, the martial arts world will be completely devastated, and if the Demonic Sect invades, no one will be able to resist.

The allied martial arts forces, poised for action, arrived with overwhelming force and had no chance of retreating.

At this point, it's a hopeless situation.

Li Xunhuan pursed his lips, feeling a little thirsty. He had given up drinking these past few days, and his mind was clearer. Ironically, he was not as happy as when he was drunk and indulging in a drunken stupor.

Perhaps he should go and meet the current number one person in the world.

Chapter 150 You make your appointments, I'll sleep with mine.

A challenge?

funny.

Zhang Chengyi glanced at the words on the letter and then forgot about it.

The letter was written on Xuan paper made by the imperial court, and the ink was the finest Huizhou ink. You could even faintly smell the premium fragrance that came with the paper. The words were also written by Shangguan Jin Hong himself, which shows that respect was put on full display.

The fact that a young man who had only been in the martial arts world for half a month could gain the attention of the number one martial artist in the world is the reason why people in the martial arts world pursue martial arts.

But it meant nothing to Zhang Chengyi. He went to great lengths, letting Lin Xian'er go, humiliating many martial arts seniors, and deliberately holding back in public when fighting against many masters, all in order for everyone to gang up on him.

Being the best in the world is just a useless title.

He felt no loneliness after becoming invincible. Having traveled through so many worlds, he learned a very important lesson:

There is no limit to martial arts.

The joy of struggling with the heavens, the earth, and man is boundless. Breaking through one's own limitations and reaching another level is far more interesting than fame, fortune, or beautiful women.

Moreover, in all the myriad realms, there are countless powerful beings; where is loneliness then? I ask you.

It's just the talk of a frog in a well.

The first body he landed in was Tianlong, so for him, cultivating another Tianlong in a world of the same type was enough. His martial arts breakthrough was already on the right track, and other martial arts worlds, even Fengyun, were just nourishment.

If it weren't for the unexpected incident with the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, he would probably still be hiding in Jiangnan, living as a landlord and quietly collecting martial arts techniques from the martial arts world.

Zhang Chengyi is a master of game modification. No matter how many bodies he logs into, he is still ultimately a 'person'. Multi-threading doesn't mean that thinking about one thing alone can achieve any great height.

The bodies in other worlds are also looking for people to study the Holy Spirit Sword Technique together, just in case the masters of the Amorous Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword actually come up with something.

Moreover, using martial arts to fight one-on-one with others will indeed reduce his physical limits; only someone with nothing better to do would engage in one-on-one fights.

"Young Master, Li Xunhuan has left Xingyun Manor."

Sword Slave bowed and said.

Zhang Chengyi vaguely remembered that this sword slave's name was Iron-Faced and Impartial Zhao Zhengyi. The name was not bad. He knelt down in the face of sword intent very quickly. After becoming a sword slave, he was loyal. However, the plans and methods he came up with were more and more insidious and vicious than the last.

He betrayed his friends with astonishing speed. The Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains, who were chasing Tie Chuanjia, were completely tricked by Zhao Zhengyi. If Tie Chuanjia hadn't begged him for help, the Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains would have been ruined by now.

To be honest, despite their unwavering loyalty to their master, the sword slaves are not puppets. On the contrary, influenced by the ruthless sword intent, their true nature is revealed, they become unrestrained and quite cunning. They would do anything to secretly harm their companions and their families just to have a chance to serve the master tea and water.

A villain who becomes a sword slave is still a villain, and may even become more ruthless due to the merciless sword intent, making it easy for him to harm others.

"Oh, let him be," Zhang Chengyi said casually.

He was considering how to deal with the sword slaves while he was asleep after forcing so many experts to learn the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

Becoming a sword slave is not without its advantages. Under the influence of the ruthless sword intent, the strength of this group of people is increasing. They can deliberately imitate the sword intent, and even if they can only imitate a fraction of it, they still have the strength to be listed on the weapon ranking list.

Sword Slave is unable to resist the ruthless sword intent of the latter half of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique. Coupled with his purely villainous personality influenced by the sword intent, if he were to fall into a deep sleep and let Sword Slave cause trouble at will, when he wakes up in the future, not only will no one solve the problem of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique being fragmented, but no one will even know the four words "Holy Spirit Sword Technique".

Orders are static, but people are dynamic. If someone leaves orders before falling asleep, the loopholes will eventually be found.

It seems a bit strange to send them all to their deaths.

This group of sword slaves makes him seem like some kind of villainous BOSS, which seriously damages his image and makes him far inferior to Su Xinghe and the others.

[How about we use sword intent to freeze them all together?]

Zhang Chengyi had a sudden inspiration and said, "Hey, Lao Zhao, take some men and build an underground palace..."

He can't keep using the method of randomly digging a hole and falling asleep indefinitely. In many worlds, his haphazard sleeping on the spot has caused quite a bit of trouble.

Being treated like royalty is fine, being sent to the hospital as a vegetable is also acceptable, but being picked up as a husband, sealed away as a zombie, or having half of your body blown up in a Saiyan battle while you're sleeping is really hard to bear.

Using the ruthless sword intent and breath-holding technique to manipulate the bodies of the sword slaves into falling asleep together is definitely a good idea. In order to prevent the sword slaves from dying in their sleep due to lifespan and nutrition issues, he can also transfer a wave of power in advance.

If anyone breaks into the underground palace in the future, the sword slaves will wake up as a defensive measure.

Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

Other worlds could totally follow suit, finding some powerful figures to guard their tombs or something. It might not sound nice, but the practicality would be off the charts.

-------------------------------------

In the days that followed, a somber atmosphere prevailed outside Xingyun Manor as hundreds more martial arts practitioners arrived one after another. This time, not only the residents who had been driven away complained, but even the government officials wanted to say something.

Unfortunately, this is neither Jin Yong's martial arts nor Wen Ruian's martial arts. In ancient martial arts, the government has always had little presence. A mere money gang can claim to dominate thirteen provinces, and if the imperial court wants to intervene, it will only symbolically send someone to inquire about the situation.

Inside Xingyun Manor, however, life was peaceful and prosperous. Zhang Chengyi lived a life where everything was done for him. The sword slaves had anticipated that their sword master's actions would invite an attack, so they had stockpiled a large amount of supplies in advance. They could withstand a siege for two or three months, let alone ten days.

Zhao Zhengyi, along with a dozen or so spies he had planted within the alliance, quietly left.

After leaving Xingyun Manor, Li Xunhuan went to great lengths to prove his innocence, but after waiting for two days, he still couldn't see Shangguan Jin Hong. He searched for her everywhere, only to be met with setbacks.

After a thorough investigation, he vaguely discovered that Lin Xian'er and Bai Xiaosheng were secretly stirring up the emotions of the Allied Forces, but what could he do?

With the decisive battle imminent, even with his silver tongue, he couldn't turn the tide.

Currently, only Shangguan Jin Hong, the leader of the Money Gang, can command this martial arts alliance, but the commander-in-chief is single-mindedly focused on a one-on-one duel with the other side.

So, amidst the excited anticipation of most, the day of the challenge arrived, and the result...

Zhang Chengyi did not appear at all.

He had the sword slave burn the letter before he even finished reading it, and had no idea where or when the duel would take place. He woke up to find the sun high in the sky, having slept incredibly well.

Shangguan Jin Hong waited patiently all day, convinced that the other party was using a psychological tactic, deliberately keeping him waiting until he was agitated before appearing. Then he thought it was a test of patience. Finally, at dusk, the self-proclaimed number one leader of the Money Gang realized the problem.

The Jinshan Ranger never showed up.

Even the most shrewd, self-centered, and mentally strong person would tremble with rage at such humiliation.

The next day, the army pressed on to Xingyun Village.

Chapter 151 The Mystery Revealed

"kill!"

"Pfft!"

"Boom!"

The noise grew louder and louder. Zhang Chengyi rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up in bed.

"Crack!" A corpse crashed through the window and fell to the ground.

The sword servant guarding the door rushed in with a flustered expression. Upon seeing Zhang Chengyi awake, he knelt down and said:

"I have disturbed my master; I deserve to die a thousand deaths."

"None of your business." Zhang Chengyi waved his hand. No matter how many times, he still felt uncomfortable with people calling him "master" or "servant"—it was too abstract.

However, sword slaves are beings of pure and wholehearted submission, who serve their sword masters with the utmost reverence.

Well, that's why not everyone treats him like their master; some call him "Dad"...

"Zhang Chengyi is here!"

The martial arts practitioners who rushed out of the bedroom shouted loudly.

The sword slaves were quite strong, but there were too few of them to defend against the charge of over a thousand people. Xingyun Manor was riddled with holes in an instant, and the vast majority of the sword slaves were caught in a fierce battle under the siege.

"Thump!" The person who shouted was immediately beheaded by a sword slave.

"What a rushed final battle."

Zhang Chengyi guessed that the people outside were probably getting impatient and ready to charge. He shook off his sleepiness and didn't bother to get dressed. He simply increased his internal energy, stood up barefoot, and before his feet even touched the ground, he was lifted into the air by sword intent.

With one step, two steps, three steps, he stepped out of the room in full view of everyone. His fair skin and handsome appearance, with a hint of laziness in his eyes, made him look like a true deity descending to earth.

"You've finally agreed to come out..."

A figure suddenly rose into the air and descended from the sky before he could finish speaking.

The previously noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

"Ha~ Ah," Zhang Chengyi yawned, his face showing the ease and comfort of swatting a fly. As his sleepiness gradually dissipated, the long-lost feeling of his inner strength filling his body made him feel incredibly refreshed. He stretched out his arms and relaxed his body to his heart's content.

He stood suspended in mid-air, looking down at Xingyun Manor, which had become ruined in the blink of an eye. A few people were still fighting, while most of them looked up as if they were looking at gods.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhang Chengyi spoke softly, his voice easily reaching everyone's ears and hearts through the boundless sword intent.

Actually, although the amorous swordsman Wuqingjian's combat power is considered to be relatively low in the many worlds he has logged into, his body is undoubtedly the strongest under the main god's light sphere.
