Jiang Liechen said, "That's not the case. When he trained me, he was very strict. When I was young, I was also like you, holding a grudge. But when I grew up, I realized that it was actually very beneficial. The outside world talked about me as if I was a god. They said that I had experienced hundreds of battles since my debut and had never tasted defeat. Putting it in the future, it was indeed true. But before I became famous, my power was still insufficient. So, I was sent by the Hierarch to fight in many places. I suffered many injuries, big and small, but no one knew about it. The most serious one was when I fought with Tiandao Supreme Lord for the Blood Protection Seal. He cut me from the chest to the back, and I fainted on the spot. Later, I didn't know how lucky I was, but I survived. But I had never suffered such a setback. At that time, I was competitive and wanted to take revenge. So, I waited until I became stronger in the future and went back to find him again. At first, he didn't take me seriously. But in the end, I was still the one who wiped away the shame. Even when the saber was on his neck, he couldn't believe that he was defeated by me. It's funny. In the two battles between Tiandao Supreme Lord and I, no one knew about my first defeat. But in the second battle, I won. Everyone said that I defeated Tiandao Supreme Lord in one fell swoop. Sometimes, my undeserved reputation was piled up in this way. "
Xuan Shuang laughed dryly, "If he knew that he was defeated by the Seven Evil Spirits, who would be the strongest in the world in the future, he wouldn't have died in vain."
Jiang Liechen sneered slightly. Although he didn't show it on his face, he seemed to enjoy the praise. Then, his face turned cold, and he said, "You're just a kid who has been raised in a honey pot since childhood. How can you understand the true meaning of martial arts? For example, you've never experienced a decisive battle with your opponent. Between you and him, only one of you can live. Therefore, all of your efforts are to kill the other. "
Xuan Shuang said, "I don't understand. Isn't a martial arts competition just learning from each other? Why is it so serious? "
Jiang Liechen said, "That's right. If you only compete with others with this mentality, you can't improve. A true expert climbed up by stepping on the corpses of others in a massacre. Let me tell you a story. Back then, the Hierarch would play a game every few months. He divided his subordinates into groups of two, locked them in a secret room, and let them kill each other. In the end, one of them had to fall in order for the other to survive. If the time limit was exceeded and the outcome of the duel was still not decided, then both of them would be executed. In order to survive, they could only try their best to kill each other. They were all companions who practiced martial arts together, but at this moment, they were going to become irreconcilable enemies. Therefore, the people of the Sacrifice Shadow Sect shouldn't have any emotions. Only emotionless could be unfettered at this moment. What do you mean by 'the benevolent are invincible'? Only the strong are truly invincible. A powerhouse without emotions is truly invincible. "
Xuan Shuang said, "But if you have no feelings and only a moving shell, wouldn't your life be too empty? Such a life was not complete at all. Does that Hierarch of yours not have any warmth at all? "
Jiang Liechen said, "That's right, he doesn't have any human emotions. In his eyes, we are nothing more than tools that he raised and used to kill people. Since we're tools, it's enough as long as we know how to carry out orders. There's no need to have any emotions. Even as the young master of the sect, I'm no exception every time I play the Asura Game. "
Xuan Shuang frowned. "Aren't you his most valued talent? What, he's willing to let you go? "
Jiang Liechen sneered. "What's there to be unwilling about? As the young master, although I have a bit of authority in the sect, it's not enough to overturn his head. The only thing special about me is that my training is much more severe than others. If I can't even defeat an ordinary subordinate and get killed instead, how can I be worthy of being his chess piece? He has enough confidence in me to be completely at ease. "And he dared to have such confidence because of another unknown reason.
Back then, Zarsaketu escaped from the palace with the little prince after the switch and placed him in a farmer's family. He wanted to use him to vent his anger on the day he mastered the divine skill.
Although Nurhaci died early, when he thought of the fact that he had ordered him and his elder brother to be killed, his authority was greatly displayed. That was then and this is now. Now, his son had been raised by him and became a dog that he could order around as he pleased. In the end, he ordered this child to destroy the Great Qing. As the founder of the dynasty, Nurhaci wanted him to personally see the hegemony he had created turn into smoke. The root of all this disaster was still his youngest son's actions, causing him to still be unable to close his eyes underground.
This plan was vicious, and Zarsaketu had been on the run for many years. He had always relied on the hatred in his heart and this belief to survive. Never in his dreams would he have thought that there would be a change of stealing the beam and replacing the pillar. The child he had painstakingly raised was just a bastard of unknown origin. For him, how deep was the irony? Because of a moment of anger, he lost the initiative. In the end, he failed step by step and died tragically in a thousand-year dream that he had fabricated.
When Jiang Liechen was young, he didn't know much about his series of complicated conspiracies. He only heard that the child who was placed in the family was a little prince, and the mysterious person was so concerned about him that they must have a deep relationship. Since then, he had assumed his identity and followed beside Zaketu. Sometimes, he spoke and acted unscrupulously. It was because he believed that Zaketu either truly loved him or had other plans for him. Zaketu would definitely not kill him easily.
However, when he first learned martial arts, he was extremely humble and worked hard. Naturally, he wouldn't be stupid enough to annoy the Hierarch. In the future, when he thought that his skills were superior and intended to usurp the throne, his attitude towards him plummeted. That was another matter.
He was now extremely powerful. When he thought of the humble period when he obeyed Zarsaketu's words in the past, he felt disgusted. He said indifferently, "I said a lot because I want you to understand that if you only learn the style passed down by your ancestors, even if you practice it perfectly, it won't be very useful when you fight with other people in the future. The style is dead, the person is alive. There is a limit to one style, but it can give rise to tens of thousands of styles with infinite changes. Only when you really fight with your opponent can you gradually accumulate experience. I don't advocate that you stop at a certain point. If you know that your life is not in danger, you won't use all your strength when you make your move. Even your defense will be slack. When it comes to a life and death battle, if you still remember the fixed style in your mind, you will inevitably suffer. The so-called burning the boats is precisely to cut off all escape routes. Therefore, I directly asked you to destroy the Manor. First, I want to see how your basic skills are. Second, just like the Hierarch's method in the past, I want you to risk your life at any time. When you understand the unlimited eruption of the potential in your body and really remember how to use it, in the future when you fight with the enemy, you will be able to use this power freely. "
Xuan Shuang listened to him as if he didn't fully understand, but he still nodded lightly and said, "I don't really understand, and I don't agree with your way of doing things. But it does sound reasonable. Just now in the An Family Manor, my mood when I fought the enemy, as well as the nimbleness of my moves, was really different from the past … when I practiced martial arts with Master Li. It seems that I have also become a Wulin master, a master who can control other people's life and death. Honestly, this kind of momentum is not bad. No wonder you are so bent on becoming the world's supreme master. But I still have a question … "
Jiang Liechen was very happy to hear this. Although he had grasped great power these past few years, he often felt especially lonely in his heart. He rarely felt the same kind of happiness he felt when he was lowly and nameless at the beginning, when he was carrying out missions with Menglin. At this time, he seemed to have found some of his endless joy and said, "Very good! It seems that this kind of training really has some effect. You only need to try it once, and your mind is a lot clearer. Hmm? If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. "
When Xuan Shuang heard him say that he only needed to use it once, he immediately thought that in order to train him, he would definitely use it "many more times" in the future. He had clearly said this before, and now he had just seen results. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing that the words he was about to say would definitely be extremely disappointing. He actually had some strange thoughts of 'not wanting to disturb his good mood'.
But there were many things that he couldn't bear to do, he still had to do. He asked, "Those people who were killed were complete strangers to us. Why should I use their lives to test my sword, so that I can make progress? I'm practicing martial arts by myself, yet I have to sacrifice so many innocent lives. Isn't that too selfish? "
As expected, Jiang Liechen's expression sank. But then he realized that it was precisely at this critical juncture where he was wavering that he needed to persuade him that he would be completely convinced. After thinking for a bit, he opened his mouth again and said, "Don't talk to me about being selfish or not. There's no need to doubt this. Born between heaven and earth, wanting to live a free and unfettered life and live in seclusion, standing aloof from worldly affairs, is simply an unrealistic extravagant hope. For a strong martial artist, there will naturally be people who admire his reputation and compete with him. For someone who doesn't know martial arts, anyone can easily kill him. The people who died and were injured in the manor can only blame themselves for not practicing martial arts properly. They were unable to protect themselves, so there's no need to feel guilty. You should think that you are the most honorable person in the world. Other people's existence is, at best, for the sake of making you strong and prosperous. Their life and death are like mayflies in an instant. Now that they can make some contributions to you, they can be considered to have died a worthy death. The world is filthy. For the sake of personal gain, old friends can turn hostile at any time. Only you will always be good to you. No matter how unbearable your status is, you will never abandon a poor person. Therefore, the only one worthy of love is yourself. "
Xuan Shuang said, "Why must you strive for the title of number one in the world? Even if you can, you still have to worry day and night about whether or not you can hold on to it. You also have to guard against martial arts fanatics who come to challenge you from time to time. Life is very difficult. I still think that it's best to live as one pleases. "
Jiang Liechen said, "That's the same principle. Only when you become a strong person can you realize that you can live as one pleases. The title of number one in the world, other than glory, is also a symbol of status. It proves that you can order people around as you please. No one will dare to rebel against you. Everyone will want to serve you. If you look favorably upon them, it will be their life's glory. When your strength really surpasses heaven and earth, then you won't have to worry about this title changing hands. Because you fully deserve it. "
