Late autumn.
Ancient Path of the Setting Sun.
"What is this place?"
Chi Tong stood there and looked at Fangzheng beside her. Just now, after Fangzheng said that, he waved his hand, and then Chi Tong and Fangzheng appeared here.
"This is a memory."
Fangzheng put his hands behind his back and stared at the Ancient Path of the Setting Sun and the man standing there.
"He's Yan Shisan."
"… Him?"
Looking at the man not far away, Chi Tong frowned. She was about to walk over, but Fangzheng stopped her.
"This is a memory. You and I can only watch it. After watching it, we'll decide whether you want to learn the Thirteen Deadly Swords."
"…"
Chi Tong did not say anything. She just stood quietly beside Fangzheng and watched a man in strange Chinese clothes walk over and stop in front of Yan Shisan. He stared at Yan Shisan and then sneered.
"Yan Shisan?"
"Yes."
Yan Shisan nodded slightly, and the man opposite him continued to ask.
"Is your Thirteen Deadly Swords really invincible?"
"Not necessarily."
Yan Shisan's expression did not change at all. Chi Tong had already discovered that he was expressionless until now. However, it was not because it was difficult for him to express his emotions like Chi Tong. Instead, it was the feeling of a dead person … She did not know how to describe it, but in Chi Tong's eyes, Yan Shisan was like a walking, living corpse, which made her feel strange.
At this moment, their voices came from afar again.
"I'm Gao Tong, Gao Tong who can pierce the heart with a sword."
"… Are they going to duel? Why? "
Chi Tong stood aside and listened for a long time. She finally understood that the man called Gao Tong was here to kill Yan Shisan. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Keep listening and you'll know."
Soon, when Chi Tong turned to the front again, Yan Shisan spoke.
"You're not the only one who wants to kill me."
Gao Tong nodded and sneered.
"Because you're too famous. As long as I kill you, I can immediately become famous. It's not easy to become famous in Jianghu. This is the only way. "
"… Just for this?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Tong widened his eyes in shock. His usually expressionless face was now filled with doubt. It was not that she had never killed before, but the people Chi Tong had killed were people who deserved it. She had never thought that someone would kill someone just because they were famous. To Chi Tong, this was completely illogical.
"In life, if it's not for fame, then it's for profit. Aren't your night raids the same? You guys are famous in the Imperial Capital. Whoever can kill any of the assassins in the night raid will immediately be valued by the royal family. They will be given a high position and a generous salary. They will enjoy endless glory, splendor and wealth. If the people you killed were just some lowly thieves, why would you be wanted? "
"…"
Hearing this, Chi Tong frowned slightly. She had always killed people as a mission and had never considered this possibility.
"What you said makes sense."
"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. It doesn't matter. Alright, let's begin."
Before Fangzheng could finish his words, Chi Tong saw Gao Tong unsheathe his sword and thrust it towards Yan Shisan's chest.
However, Yan Shisan's sword was faster.
Gao Tong's sword had just thrust out, but Yan Shisan's sword had already pierced his throat.
"…"
At this moment, Chi Tong could not help but hold her breath.
Yan Shisan's sword was very fast, but what happened just now was not just fast. Chi Tong was also a swordsman. She could feel that it was not a matter of speed. In her eyes, speed was no longer a problem. This was not a 100-meter race. It was a matter of who was faster and who could reach the finish line first.
Because for some people, the finish line was right under their feet.
They did not need to warm up, prepare, or even start the race. With just one step, they could reach the finish line that ordinary people could only reach with all their might.
Chi Tong watched from the side. He saw Yan Shisan kill the first challenger, the second challenger, and the third challenger. Then, he spared the fourth challenger's life and left with the fifth challenger. That challenger was called Crow. He had also come to kill Yan Shisan. However, he did not make a move. He only followed Yan Shisan because Yan Shisan had an appointment, and he wanted to watch it.
"He's going to a duel?"
"That's right."
Hearing Chi Tong's question, Fangzheng nodded.
"Is the person called Third Young Master very strong?"
"Very strong. He's called the number one swordsman in the world. It means that he's the strongest swordsman in the world."
"So Yan Shisan wants to challenge him? Does he want to become stronger? "
"Haha …"
Fangzheng smiled.
"The fact that you asked this question means that you're not strong enough."
"…?"
Chi Tong looked at Fangzheng in confusion. She did not understand what he meant.
"Every swordsman has their own way of survival. They believe in their own will, their own beliefs, and that everything they do is right. This is also the reason why they're invincible. Therefore, to confirm this point, you have to keep going. It's the same for you, Chi Tong. Sooner or later, you might have the same idea, but now … it's too far away for you. "
They continued forward and met a woman. A woman who had a grudge against Third Young Master. That woman had entrusted Yan Shisan with a task, and that was to kill Third Young Master. This was because he had lied to her more than once.
"I hate that person," Chi Tong said quietly.
Chi Tong said quietly. Although she did not say who it was, Fangzheng knew what she meant.
"Indeed, a man who can't even coax a woman is a failure. Frankly speaking, Li Xunhuan and Xie Xiaofeng are both scum in this aspect. I admire Lang Fanyun more."
At this point, Fangzheng shook his head. He did not think highly of those so-called "romantic and uninhibited" swordsman. Their romantic lives were all fake. They only cared about their own happiness and allowed their women to cry bitterly. They made it seem as if the peerless swordsman were all treacherous and unscrupulous idiots with zero EQ.
Lang Fanyun had done a good job in this aspect. Fangzheng also admired his philosophy. Only by reaching the extreme of emotions could one reach the extreme of swordsmanship. He also had someone he deeply loved, but that person had left him a long time ago. However, Lang Fanyun did not become dispirited because of this. Instead, he loved life and enjoyed it. He was not as pretentious as Li Xunhuan, who ended up torturing himself in the end. It made people speechless.
From this point of view, Xie Xiaofeng was the same. No matter how great his achievements in martial arts were, he was considered a failure on the level of a man and a woman. He could not fail any further.
Perhaps it should be said that all male protagonists in the Ancient Dragon series were like this.
The woman demonstrated a sword technique to Yan Shisan. Yan Shisan understood it, but Chi Tong did not. From her point of view, the woman was merely holding a withered branch and slowly pushing it forward. It did not seem to have any strength or technique. It seemed to be an ordinary move, but Yan Shisan's expression immediately changed.
The man, who had remained calm when so many people wanted to kill him, had completely changed at this moment.
Chi Tong felt that she could not understand it at all. That man's understanding of swordsmanship seemed to be on a completely different level from hers. She was very sure that the man called Yan Shisan was an extremely powerful existence. Therefore, she had been observing him in this memory, wanting to see what kind of person he was.
However, what puzzled Chi Tong was that not only was Yan Shisan not diligent in his cultivation, he did not even have the slightest bit of self-discipline. He was in the restaurant gulping down wine, eating big bowls of meat, and laughing out loud while hugging a woman. At this moment, Chi Tong could not tell that this unrestrained man was the swordsman who had killed people earlier. She only felt that he was no different from those corrupt officials in the Imperial Capital that she had seen in the past.
At this moment, Yan Shisan was drinking wine, eating meat, hugging a woman, and chatting with a crow. They were even discussing a famous saying that had been circulating among swordsmen.
The first requirement to become an outstanding swordsman was to be cold and merciless. Especially before a decisive battle, one must not let anything affect one's emotions. Even if one's wife was sleeping with another man next to them, one must pretend not to see it.
Upon hearing this, Chi Tong nodded silently. Instead, Fangzheng coughed and lowered his body to Chi Tong's ear.
"Uh … Just pretend you didn't hear this."
“？”
Chi Tong looked at Fangzheng in confusion, but Fangzheng only smiled awkwardly.
"Because I'm the one who spread this saying, but I'm just making it up …"
“？”
Faced with Chi Tong's question, Fangzheng chuckled and did not answer. Of course, he would not tell Chi Tong that the reason he spread this saying was to make himself feel better.
After all, it was better to have the time to put on clothes when they were discovered than to be chased around naked. Besides, those so-called heroes of the pugilistic world roamed the pugilistic world and did chivalrous deeds. Yet, they did not enter their homes three times. They did not even care about their young and beautiful wives. To prevent these women from walking down the path of evil due to love, Fangzheng came to comfort their lonely bodies and souls.
That was why those so-called martial arts heroes were all crazy. As the saying goes, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? If you can't even take care of your own wife, why are you still thinking about being the leader of the martial arts world? What nonsense are you talking about? Fangzheng treated his little girls very well. He loved and took care of them. When he was free, he would take them out on dates. He was the Time Dragon anyway, so time was not valuable to him.
After all, saving the world and starting a harem did not conflict, right?
Of course, Fangzheng also knew that those martial arts heroes would not listen to him.
That was why he was always chased around.
Fortunately, after he spread this saying, fewer people chased him around, and more people challenged him to a duel. This allowed Fangzheng to heave a sigh of relief.
At the very least, a duel would definitely require one to put on clothes.
After that, this memory continued. Chi Tong watched as Yan Shisan made up his mind to die. He came to the Deity Sword Villa, walked into the villa, and saw the sword that he wanted to challenge.
However, he did not see the person he wanted to challenge.
That was because that person was already dead.
Even Chi Tong did not think of this. Along the way, she had been looking at Yan Shisan's memory. She watched him go through everything and come here. She was also looking forward to seeing how powerful the man known as the number one sword in the world was. How terrifying his swordsmanship was to be able to make a swordsman like Yan Shisan, who was almost invincible in Chi Tong's eyes, tremble and feel fear.
But now, everything was over.
This was because the person that Yan Shisan wanted to challenge was dead.
