Nanming Town was an important town on the border between Donghua State and Northern Victorious State. This place was different from the tower; it wasn't a desolate place. Outside of the town, there was green grass, like a green carpet covering the land. The beautiful environment, coupled with its location on the border of the two states, made Nanming Town especially prosperous. It could be said to be a Tianmaji that had expanded by more than ten times.
Some people were destined to live in this kind of environment, such as Xia He. Back then, after parting ways with Wang Yan in Tianmaji, the little swordsman chased after the Nurturing Embryo and arrived at Nanming Town. From then on, Nanming Town gained an invincible swordsman, a Hall of Dual Evils, and a new rule: "Xia He!"
Many people didn't understand why Xia He created a gang called the Hall of Dual Evils, and he never explained it. Only a few people who knew of his past in Nanyue State knew that Xia He was commemorating his days in Tianmaji. However, when the Ghost Face Sword Killer turned from a petty thief to a Venerable Swordsman who could suppress a state, this news quietly spread among the large sects around Nanming Town. Step by step, the Hall of Dual Evils became the number one sect in Nanming Town.
In the past, Nanming Town was bustling with people. From sunrise to sunset, it was always noisy. This was a place where people spent money, and it never slept. If you had money, you could obtain everything except top-tier secret manuals. However, today, Nanming Town was not as noisy and lively as it was in the past. Night had just fallen, and the town was eerily quiet. The entrance hall of the Hall of Dual Evils in the middle of the town was wide open, and countless people were gathered around the town. These people didn't speak, causing the already tense atmosphere to become even more tense.
"Reporting!"
At this moment, a rider rushed out of the town entrance like the wind, heading straight for the Hall of Dual Evils amidst the hurried sounds of horse hooves. Before reaching the hall, the person on the horse pushed off the saddle and somersaulted in the air for more than ten meters before steadily landing in front of the hall.
This person's Qing Gong was very good. He could jump more than ten meters in the air. Even the famous masters of Yunzi stage in Jianghu could not do that. However, such a person was only the vanguard of the Double Evil Hall. The strength of the Double Evil Hall could be seen from this. After the man landed, he immediately knelt on one knee and reported, "Reporting to Hallmaster, a large number of bloodcorpses have been discovered seventy kilometers away. There are no less than ten thousand of them, and there are also thirteen bloodtainted people plundering in all directions with these bloodcorpses as the center. The black river is already two hundred kilometers away. According to this subordinate's estimation, the bloodcorpses vanguard will arrive at Southsea Town in eight hours at most."
After this person finished speaking, none of the people sitting in the hall responded. All of them looked gloomy and worried. Their eyes were filled with obvious worry and fear. It couldn't be helped. This blood disaster came too suddenly and too fast. It had only been five days since the incident at the Sunken Moon Cliff, but the blood disaster had already engulfed more than half of the Dong Hua State.
The Hall of Dual Evils only received the news three days ago. In the beginning, no one believed this kind of news. The few Clasping Yuan stage masters in the hall even scoffed at it. However, as more and more people came from different places, they brought all kinds of terrifying news. The people from the Golden Moon Sword Sect even announced that this blood disaster would affect the five states. The extreme evil demon Ren Tianxing had come back from the dead and was going to destroy the world. The Venerable Sword fought with Ren Laomo and claimed the South Yue State as a refuge.
When this news spread out, no one dared to doubt it. Who was the Venerable Sword? He fought with Gold Core cultivators, suppressed an entire state, and stood at the peak of martial arts legends. Therefore, more and more people fled to South Yue, and the Southsea Town was naturally a place they had to pass through. After such an impact, the Southsea Town had been especially withered these past two days. Even the people in the Hall of Dual Evils were wavering. If it wasn't for Xia He's unparalleled reputation, most of the people in the Hall of Dual Evils would have already fled.
Xia He was currently sitting at the head of the hall. Everyone in the hall followed his lead. He had his eyes closed, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he opened his eyes and sighed faintly, "I have made up my mind. I swear to live and die with the southern border. However, if any of the brothers in the hall want to leave, I, Xia He, will not stop them. Moreover, I will send a generous gift to show our old friendship."
"Hall Master."
Hearing Xia He's words, everyone in the hall immediately stood up. However, Xia He waved his hand and walked out of the hall with his beloved saber in hand. Under the moonlight, he climbed up the wall of the town alone, gazing at the bleak night in silence. For Xia He, being able to walk step by step to where he was in this world had already far exceeded his expectations.
For Xia He, being able to walk step by step in this world to where he was now had already far surpassed his expectations. He was a martial artist. To be able to establish such a foundation in a place like South Sea Village meant that he was destined to live and die here. This was his Dao of the Blade, and it was somewhat similar to Heaven's Spite Blade's Dao of the Blade. However, his Dao of the Blade carried his ambition, Tyranny, and Hope. So if he lost South Sea Village, lost Dual Fiends Hall, he would lose all meaning in staying in this world.
"I'll just take it as a final conclusion. It's time to leave. I can only hope that I can see that guy at the very last moment. Tsk tsk, Venerable Sword, why didn't I see how powerful he was back then?"
Having made up his mind, Xia He returned to his usual carefree self. In the end, this world wasn't everything to him. Only by being able to pick up and let go, could one be considered a true hero. However, when it was time to give up, Xia He was still unwilling. He quietly stood on the wall with his saber in front of him. Just like that, a night passed. When the sun rose from the east and the first rays of the morning sun shone down from the horizon, a dense horde of blood corpses could be seen in the distance, like a boundless dark red wave of blood, sweeping towards Southsea Town.
Even though Xia He already knew a lot of information beforehand, when he saw the blood corpse army with his own eyes, he still felt his scalp go numb. Especially in front of the blood corpse army, the blood-red light in the sky made his heart palpitate. Under such a formation, even though Xia He personally stood on the wall, the surrounding people were still in an uproar. As the blood corpse army got closer and closer, under the powerful pressure, some people actually turned around and fled.
Xia He didn't pay any attention to them. He only held his saber and stared at the blood-red light in the sky. He understood that today would be his last battle. Perhaps he would lose miserably, but he, Xia He, would never lower his head to anyone.
"Come!"
With a 'clang' sound, Cang Yi unsheathed his saber with a cold glint. A blood-red light flew towards the town, and the appearance of the bloodstained man could already be seen. Xia He immediately tapped his foot on the ground and soared into the sky. The long saber in his hand swept across the sky, and a saber light broke through the air.
"You're courting death."
The bloodstained man sneered and flicked his finger. A blood-red line shot out from the tip of his finger. The speed of the blood-red line was unbelievably fast. It pierced through the saber light and headed straight for Xia He's head. The front end of the blood-red line turned into a snake head and bit towards Xia He's face.
Xia He, in the nick of time, took a step in the air and moved several feet horizontally in the air. At the same time, his wrist shook rapidly, and the long saber in his hand slashed out dozens of saber lights. They turned into a rotating saber screen and shattered the blood-red line.
As the bloodstained man didn't pay attention to the saber light, he was slashed in the chest. A large wound immediately appeared on his abdomen. If he was an ordinary person, he would have already died under the saber. However, the bloodstained man sneered and said, "You are an interesting mutant. However, it is precisely because of such an important mutant like you that I can use it to fight against the Heavenly Dao!"
