Time Fades and Strength
The newly appointed big name of the Fire Country, Xiong Zimo, was sitting in his own mansion, glaring at the person opposite him. He placed one hand on the table and tapped his fingers on the table, making a tapping sound.
There were four imperial guards around the room.
Time seemed to have been extended indefinitely, and the room was terrifyingly quiet.
However, the person sitting across from Xiong Zimo looked calm and was not affected by Xiong Zimo's emotions at all. He sat in his seat calmly and lowered his head to look at his palm.
After a long time, Xiong Zimo finally spoke.
"Your Excellency High Priest, don't you think that I need a reasonable explanation?”。
"Oh?" The woman called the High Priestess slowly raised her head. She was the High Priestess and Chief of the Imperial Guards of the Fire Country, Dugu Han.
"Could it be that you're dissatisfied with the large-scale mission I completed this time?" Dugu Han pretended to be puzzled. Or…you don't believe that Tan Duolemin is from the Killer Sword Group?"
" You know that's not what I'm asking." Xiong Zimo's expression was serious." How did you destroy the Killer Sword Corporation?”。
" Haha, your question really stumped me." Dugu Han smiled." As the Imperial Guard Chief who holds half of the Fire Country's military strength, it's not surprising that you've destroyed a criminal gang, even if that criminal gang is the largest in the world."
"But their leader is a Sword Saint!!!”Xiong Zimo seemed a little agitated." Even if you use all your troops, you will never be able to hurt a Sword Saint. That's why I only asked you to save her."
Dugu Han looked at the excited Xiong Zimo for a while and said,""So what if it's a Sword Saint…If the heavens want him to die, he has to die. Since he's already dead, why chase after him? His death was just an accident."
"Dugu Han! Do you know how serious the crime of deceiving the emperor is?! " Don't think that you've forgotten the immensity of heaven and earth just because you have a few troops." Xiong Zimo slammed his right hand on the table in front of him." Do you take me for an idiot?" Do you know that the whole world has been going crazy recently? It's said that it's been a calamity. First, the former great names of the Water and Fire Kingdoms were killed by meteorites falling from the sky on the battlefield. Then, the Country of Feather was instantly destroyed. Now, the world's number one criminal organization, the Killer Sword, was destroyed. Now I know that this is all related to you."
Dugu Han raised his eyebrows and asked,"I don't know what you mean by that, but it's only the last thing that concerns me."
" Keep pretending. Don't think that you can hide your identity just because the person involved is dead," Xiong Zimo said coldly." After my careful investigation these days, I found that you were once among the warriors of the Fire Country who were killed by meteorites. However, you were the only one who survived, including Daimyo and the Sword Saint. After that, you brought along a little brat that you found from god knows where and passed by the Country of Feather. According to my calculations, the time when the Country of Feather was destroyed should be about the same as the time you passed by. Finally…"
"Pa! Pa!" Daimyo clapped his hands twice, and a person walked in from outside the door.
It was a white-haired old man with his eyes half-closed. He held a snake-shaped walking stick in his hand as he walked over step by step. He looked extremely weak.
However, Dugu Han's eyes flashed with surprise the moment he saw the old man. However, it quickly disappeared, and he sat back in his original position leisurely.
Unexpectedly, Daimyo stood up and bowed to the old man who came in. He then sat down and smiled at Dugu Han,""This is one of the only two Sword Saints in the world that I have specially invited. How was it? [You didn't expect it, did you, Dugu Han? Even though you dismembered the body of the Sword Saint Xiangtan Buyun, Oda Asami witnessed that Xiangtan Buyun was killed by a swordsman with a sword. Moreover, the destruction of the Country of Feather wasn't an accident. It was also caused by a swordsman's sword attack.] More importantly, Sir Cang Ming was certain that the swordsman who killed Xiangtan Buyun and the swordsman who destroyed the Country of Feather were the same person!”。
"So what?" Dugu Han chuckled." You don't have any evidence to prove that the destruction of the Country of Feathers is really related to me. In other words…"
Dugu Han's eyes flashed coldly.""Even if it's really related to me, what does it have to do with you, Xiong Zimo, who has just taken up your position?”。
"Impudent!" Xiong Zimo said sternly," If it's really related to you, then forget about the Killer Sword Organization. However, I need to give an explanation to the Country of Fire's men of sacrifice and the innocent people of the Country of Feathers who died because of you. Therefore, I advise you to tell me obediently. Who under you has the strength to defeat a Sword Saint?”。
" Is that so…" Dugu Han stood up abruptly, causing Xiong Zimo to be stunned." Defeating Zhe Ye and Xiangtan Buyun…my Han Residence's Feng Sanniang can do it."
" I see." Xiong Zimo sneered." Just tell me the truth." Then please stay in my residence and wait for Feng Sanniang to come."
"What's the hurry?" Dugu Han waved his hand. Then, his expression changed and he said coldly,""Do you think you have the right to interfere in my affairs?”。
As a famous person, they obviously had their own pride. Xiong Zimo was no exception. When he saw Dugu Han being rude to him again and again, he shouted,"" Capture Dugu Han."
At that moment, the four Imperial Swordsmen who were guarding the room appeared next to Dugu Han in the blink of an eye. It could be seen that his movements were quite swift.
However, no matter how capable those four imperial guards were, how could they be Dugu Han's match?
With a dull thud, the four guards who were still full of vigor and displayed their superb skills just now had already been sent flying back to the four sides of the room. Their bodies were faintly sunk into the wall, and their eyes were closed. They were not sure if they were dead or alive.
Xiong Zimo's expression turned cold. These four imperial guards were all experts at the level of Great Swordsmen. How could he not be surprised that they had lost their combat ability in less than half a second?
Although he was surprised, Xiong Zimo was not worried about his own life. He still had a Sword Saint who stood at the peak of swordsmanship by his side.
Speaking of which, the Sword Saint was indeed a Sword Saint. There was no such thing as a false reputation.
The next second after Dugu Han defeated the four guards, the old man standing next to Xiong Zimo, Oda Aoki, who had been so weak that he couldn't even stand a gust of wind, suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, and an ominous light burst out.
Another two figures that could not be seen clearly were Oda Aoki and Dugu Han's figures fighting.
From the two figures, it could be vaguely seen that Oda Aoki was using the wooden walking stick. The wooden stick was fragile, but in Oda Aoki's hand, it was like a divine sword made of thousand-year-old cold iron. It was indestructible.
Dugu Han was also quite surprised. She had originally planned to use her fingers to hold Oda Aoki's walking stick, just like how she had dealt with Xiangtan Buyun. However, she didn't expect that after holding the walking stick for only half a second, her palm would feel a little numb. Thus, she immediately let go of her hand and used her unsheathed saber to fight Oda Aoki.
Dugu Han held the scabbard in his left hand and steadily blocked the attack that was as fast as a stream of light. His right hand went straight for Oda Aoki's heart.
Just as he was about to succeed, Oda Aoki dodged Dugu Han's fatal blow from an extremely strange angle.
Speaking of surprise, Oda Aoki was even more surprised than Dugu Han. He had been practicing the sword for more than 70 years, but no one had ever been able to take advantage of him. Even when he fought with several other Sword Saints, he was always able to suppress them. Now, this little girl who did not seem to have released the slightest sword intent was actually fighting with him so easily, and even sealed his attack tightly. This made him inexplicably think of a general idea.
Unlike other Blade Masters, although these two people were dazzling when fighting, in fact, what could be seen were only the afterimages left behind by them a few seconds ago.
This made Xiong Zimo uneasy." How could Dugu Han be so strong? Could she be a Sword Saint as well?
A dazzling sound of weapons clashing could be heard. In fact, less than two minutes later, Oda Aokira and Dugu Han took a step back.
At this moment, Oda Aoki had already closed his eyes. He held his walking stick with both hands and said in a deep voice," I didn't expect that Miss Dugu has already reached the realm where she can see the Heavenly Dao as if it were plants and trees. Continuing to dance with the sword in front of Miss Dugu is no different from asking for humiliation. This old man admits defeat…"
Dugu Han also smiled." Sir Oda is the one who's admirable. You've been able to remain undefeated in my hands for such a long time. I'm afraid you've already reached the peak of Sword Saint."
After nodding, Dugu Han walked out of the door and said,""Xiong Zimo, it's best that you stay out of my business. Otherwise…I'm not sure if there will be any accidents that will change the position of this famous person."
………………
Xiong Zimo opened his eyes wide and turned to Oda Aoki.""Sir Oda, why did you let Dugu Han go?”。
After Dugu Han left, Oda Aoki sat down on his seat and shook his head."Your Excellency, your question is just a self-deception. You know the truth but you don't face it? "That's right. With my strength, I can't be compared to Dugu Han at all. If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't use her strength just now, I'm afraid this old man would have died long ago."
" This…" Although Xiong Zimo had already guessed it, he didn't expect it to be true."Isn't Mr. Oda at the peak of the Sword Saint realm? How could he be defeated by others?"
" That's true," Oda Aoki sighed." But I'm afraid that Dugu Han has already surpassed the Sword Saint and reached a level that only she knows." This old man is willing to be below him. Moreover…if we really want to compare, I'm afraid I'll have to give up my position as the second in the world."
"How is that possible?" Xiong Zimo never expected that there were so many experts in the world." Could it be that the Sword Saint of the Phoenix Temple is stronger than you?”。
" That's not it." Oda Aokami waved his hand." In fact, as far as I know, there's still a Sword Saint alive in this world, and that Sword Saint is definitely stronger than me." It was the one Dugu Han mentioned just now…Feng Sanniang.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When they returned to the Han Residence, Dugu Han took Little Red Lotus, who was giggling at her, from the servant girl's arms.
Dugu Han smiled generously at Red Lotus, but he thought," Red Lotus, oh Red Lotus, quickly grow up. After little Qin Wu is you. You are also…someone who has the ability to reach the realm of Sword Demon.
At the thought of this, Dugu Han temporarily forgot about the unpleasant incident with Daming not long ago.
She had killed countless people in her life, and her karma was already heavy. She was lucky enough to find two children who could become Sword Demons. Was this God's intention to help her, or was it God's intention to destroy her? The Sword Demon was too powerful. If his mind was not strong enough, he would only destroy the entire world.
Then, Dugu Han went to find Feng Sanniang and saw her training the Six Heavenly Flames.
When she saw Dugu Han, Feng Sanniang nodded at her and walked over.""Is there anything on Daming's side?”。
" He just knows that I was the cause of a few things that happened in the past…But I've basically solved it. For the sake of his own life, he probably wouldn't dare to reveal anything about us," Dugu Han said." By the way, Manager Feng, do you know that old Sword Saint called Oda Aoki? He's quite powerful."
Feng Sanniang nodded." It's that old fellow. He's indeed one of the best Sword Saints in history." I even fought him when I was your age. He's one of the few Sword Saints I've fought."
"Oh?" Dugu Han was a little curious." Who won, you or him?"”。
"Of course it's me." Feng Sanniang sneered. "However, I can defeat him, but it won't be easy for me to kill him."
" That's rare." Dugu Han nodded." I don't know how long he can live. Otherwise, he could be used as a breakthrough mission for Little Qin Wu…"
………………
After chatting with Feng Sanniang for a while and asking about the good situation of the Six Heavenly Flames, Dugu Han went to Qin Wu's place.
From afar, Dugu Han saw Qin Wu sitting on the ground with his eyes wide open, just as she had said.
His eyes were lifeless, but he was not in a daze. Instead, he showed a different kind of spirituality.
If one observed this place for a while, they would discover a very strange phenomenon. For example, there was no trace of life around Qin Wu's body, including the insects and ants that could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Dugu Han smiled with satisfaction." Little Qin Wu, I'm afraid that the heavens have deliberately allowed me to pick up a genius like you." Let me see how many years later you can surpass me…"

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Twin flashy turns, reincarnation has been a thousand years.
In the mortal world, a person's lifespan was not long, or rather, very short. In the blink of an eye, fourteen years had passed…
………………
In the dark underground wine hall, all kinds of people sat in twos and threes, drinking wine and chatting tirelessly. However, the occasional sharpness in some people's eyes proved that the people here were not ordinary.
A young man who did not fit this scene was particularly eye-catching here.
The young man wore a pure white cloak with a silver feather lining. He wore a strange black outfit that vaguely revealed his strong figure. There was an unsheathed knife at his waist, and his flaxen hair was even more unique in that era. His sapphire blue eyes were sparkling like dew, and his rosy lips were slightly curled…His handsome face looked like he was only about fifteen years old.
If these weren't enough to attract attention, then what was truly eye-catching was the big " God " word on the back of the white coat, revealing the owner's flamboyance and confidence.
At this moment, the young man was standing in front of the counter with a faint smile, flipping through a thick booklet.
He flipped through the pages from front to back. When he reached the end of the book, the portrait of a red-haired, cold woman made him stop for a moment.
Looking at the bounty next to the three words, which was filled with zeros, the young man frowned and deliberately counted. One, two, three…ten…a total of ten zeros.
30 billion?
The young man smiled and shook his head. After flipping through a few pieces of paper, he pointed at a head portrait with a reward of 30 million. After registering, he slowly walked out of the underground bar with a piece of paper filled with the information of that person.
That's right, this underground wine hall was the underground reward meeting, and the thick booklet contained the information of the person being rewarded. Many people who came to accept the bounty could often find their basic information on it.
After walking out of the reward party, the young man took a deep breath of fresh air and said to himself in amusement," Sister Han's identity wasn't exposed, but there's actually such a high bounty on her head…It seems like the position of the Fire Country's High Priest and Chief of the Imperial Guards has given her a bounty that's far higher than the famous names of the other countries."
Needless to say, this youth was naturally Bofeng Qin Wu.
It had been 14 years since he first came to this world.
A lot of things could be changed in fourteen years, and a lot could be learned, especially for someone like him, who even Dugu Han called a peerless genius.
Yes, Qin Wu had learned a lot. It was " learned ", not recovered. The abilities that he had lost before he came to this world could no longer be recovered. It was just that Qin Wu had learned them again.
It was still unclear how strong he was now, but the sword at his waist... oh, it should be called the Slaying Knife. The Slaying Knife named "Illusion" explained everything.
All these years, Dugu Han had protected Qin Wu very well and had not let any information about him leak out. All these years, Dugu Han had trained Qin Wu well, allowing him to completely inherit the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords that she was so proud of and reach the realm of Sword Demon.
It was three years ago that Qin Wu found the illusion. At that time, he defeated the illusion that could control the laws at will with just his sword technique. Dugu Han also smiled in return.
Three years ago, when Dugu Han said to him," Qin Wu, you've graduated," Qin Wu realized that it was the first time in so many years that Dugu Han had removed the word " little " before Qin Wu.
However, Qin Wu still didn't leave Dugu Han. He thought to himself," Master, I'm finally qualified to protect you. You're no longer the number one in the world…"
Time had not eroded Dugu Han's beauty at all. Dugu Han's face was still as perfect as when he first found Qin Wu.
Of course, just because he defeated the illusion with his swordsmanship didn't mean that Qin Wu had only made achievements in swordsmanship over the years.
Just like how the Six Heavenly Flames could use all the ninjutsu without making any seals or even speaking, so could Qin Wu.
Qin Wu had learned everything that the Six Heavenly Flames couldn't, such as spirit power, ghost path, and all the other abilities of the Grim Reaper. Although it wasn't as terrifying as it was in the Death God World, it was still at its peak.
Another example was the Taiji Heart Technique that could melt everything. Qin Wu had also mastered it step by step according to his memory.
If there was anything that had not been found, it would undoubtedly be the Eye of Death, which was a fusion of the White Eye, the Eternal Kaleidoscope Shura Eye, and the Reincarnation Eye.
Without the Eye of Death, it meant that he would never be able to use the life-and-death ninjutsu that Qin Wu had created in the World of Death.
However, Qin Wu was not afraid. He had endless time. His face had the appearance of a fifteen-year-old. It had nothing to do with becoming a Sword Demon, but Qin Wu's body was eternal…
Many people were afraid of eternity. They were afraid of watching the people around them slowly grow old while they lived forever in this world.
Qin Wu was not afraid. He had the ability to bring others back to life.
As long as it wasn't the end, he could still change everything…
[The last words: As long as the ending is not yet reached, we have no right to determine what will happen in the next second.] As long as we have arrived, there is no point in assuming that anything has happened.
