In Gu Long's novel, this was how he described the battle at the summit of the Forbidden City.
"Because he (Ye Gu Cheng) suddenly felt an indescribable sword aura, like an invisible mountain pressing down on him.
His pupils contracted, his muscles tensed.
Other than Ximen Chui Xue, there was no one else in the world who could give him such pressure.
When he saw Ximen Chui Xue's face clearly, he suddenly stopped moving.
Ximen Chui Xue had a sword in his hand, the sword was still in its sheath. The sword aura did not come from this sword.
His body was sharper and fiercer than the sword.
When their gazes met, it was as if the tip of the sword had clashed.
They did not move, but the pressure of stillness was stronger and scarier than movement.
A fallen leaf floated between the two of them and fell immediately, not even the wind could blow it.
Although the pressure was invisible, it was definitely not formless.
Ximen Chui Xue suddenly said, "You learn the sword?"
Ye Gu Cheng said, "I am the sword."
Ximen Chui Xue said, "Do you know the essence of the sword?"
Ye Gu Cheng said, "Tell me!"
Ximen Chui Xue said, "It's about sincerity."
Ye Gu Cheng said, "Sincerity?"
Ximen Chui Xue said, "Only with sincerity can one reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Those who are not sincere are not qualified to talk about swordsmanship."
Ye Gu Cheng's pupils contracted again.
Ximen Chui Xue stared at him, "You are not sincere."
Ye Gu Cheng was silent for a long time, then he suddenly asked, "You learn the sword?"
Ximen Chui Xue said, "There is no end to learning, and there is no end to learning the sword."
Ye Gu Cheng said, "Since you learn the sword, you should know that those who learn the sword only need to be sincere to the sword, not to others."
Ximen Chui Xue said no more, he had said all he wanted to say.
The end of the road is the end of the world, the end of words is the sword.
The sword is in hand, ready to be unsheathed.
… "
Now, as a spectator of this earth-shattering battle, Wu Shun and the livestream viewers were also able to appreciate the exchange of swordsmanship between the two peerless swordsmen before the duel. In any case, one was more pretentious than the other, and the words they spoke were filled with philosophy, making people feel that they were awesome!
Then, Wu Shun saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life!
He saw the mysterious nameless Jane Doe Su, who was always wearing a grey cloak and a black eyepatch, put down her hood and took off her cloak, revealing a pure white swordsman's uniform underneath. It could be said that her clothes were as white as snow, creating a sharp contrast with the black eyepatch on her face. It made her even more beautiful, to the point where it could move one's soul … ….
The live broadcast room was immediately filled with exclamations of surprise. If Jane Doe Su was the ultimate boss, then she, who had taken off her gray cloak, should now be in the second stage. However, Wu Shun, the disgraceful streamer, could not even touch the hem of Jane Doe Su's clothes. How could he possibly reach the second stage?
What happened next shocked the crowd even more. Not only did Jane Doe Su take off her grey cloak, but she also took off the black blindfold that she had been wearing all this while. Her peerless beauty was finally revealed to everyone!
Jane Doe Su opened her eyes. Many people initially thought that her eyes were a pair of dull, cloudy eyes. After all, she was "blind", why else would she wear an eyepatch? Could it be that she was just a chuunibyou?
However, to everyone's surprise, the girl's eyes were as bright as the stars, bright and watery. Just by looking at you, one could not help but feel a sense of tenderness. Indeed, at that moment, with her white cloak and blindfold off, she gave off the impression of an incomparably kind, gentle, and beautiful girl. She was a princess waiting for the players to save her, not the resolute and incomparably powerful Jane Doe Su …
The viewers in the live streaming channel were in an uproar. Of course, there were still viewers who pointed out that Jane Doe Su, who had taken off her blindfold, was probably the third stage of the ultimate boss. In this day and age, which powerful boss did not have a third stage? Usually, this kind of boss would make the players suffer in all kinds of ways.
However, the comments in the live streaming channel went like this —
"Is Jane Doe Su really the ultimate villain boss? Why does she look more like the heroine than Yan Qingmeng and Fairy Yan at this moment?"
"I have a bad feeling about this. I feel like I've been completely tricked by Zha Feng. Speaking of which, the failure of Jane Doe Su's plot was mostly due to the players. Without the players to tell Yan Qingmeng everything that he deduced from the clues, Jane Doe Su's assassination would have succeeded!"
"My heart aches for Miss Jane Doe Su. If she had worn this snow-white robe earlier and taken off that evil-looking blindfold, she would not have fallen to this state. Looks are the real battle power …"
"No matter what, I've decided to buy this game. No matter how difficult it is, it's worth playing. I'll cheer for Miss Jane Doe Su!"
"At first, I thought that this nameless girl was purely a passerby. I didn't expect her to leave such a deep impression on me. This feeling of contrast is too strong!"
"This is definitely CG-grade combat power!"
…
Jane Doe Su's momentum had indeed reached its peak. When facing Li Xiye, the God of Swords, she would certainly go all out. This was her respect for the way of the sword, even if at this moment, her heart was dead.
It could not be helped. Whether it was the failure of the assassination, the tragic deaths of her comrades in the Anonymous City, or the backstabbing from the righteous players, all of these had made her lose the desire to live. For her, living in this world was too tiring.
In a utopian force like the Anonymous City, no matter how much she persevered, it was just an unrealistic dream. The idea was good, but the productivity was completely inadequate. The so-called "everyone is a dragon", how could it be achieved?
Protecting the weak seemed to be a joke in such a dark world where the strong preyed on the weak.
The girl had actually experienced too many betrayals from the weak she had saved, but until the end of her life, she was still practicing the path that she had persevered in …
And she was destined to be lonely. She was not suited to be born in such a cruel world where demons and monsters ran amok. In this world, those who were in power might also be demons and monsters in human skin.
Even the players were a kind of monster. They were not afraid of death, but in fact, they had lost their humanity. Everything was prey in their eyes, and they would work for whoever gave the highest mission reward.
For example, this time, Wu Shun finally chose the side of the current King of Zhao, Su Hu. In addition to Fairy Yan's bluff, it was also because Su Hu, as the King of Zhao, gave a really high reward …
