In Chu Liuxiang's legend, Tie Zhongtang, the hero of the Central Plains, was already the most powerful person in the world. He was like a divine dragon who had hidden himself in the Nine Heavens. Only bits and pieces of his deeds were spread in the martial world. Even so, he was worshipped by the people in the martial world like a god.
As a member of the "Wild Goose Butterfly as Wings, Fragrance of Flowers in the World" trio, Ye Qiu also clearly knew that Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua's martial arts were inextricably linked to the Iron Blood Banner Sect and the Night Emperor. If these two people were in danger, Tie Zhongtang would definitely return to the martial world!
"Below Tie Zhongtang is Jellyfish Yin Ji! This woman's inner force is so powerful that it's simply sensational…"
Holy Water Palace Master's fame spread far and wide. He was the true number one expert still active in the martial arts world at this time. He surpassed Shaolin Temple's southern branch master, Master Tian Feng, Baobao Sect master, Master Thunder, and the man in bloody clothes by many times.
" Among the top masters in Jianghu, the first tier is Tie Zhongtang and Jellyfish Yinji, the second tier is Shi Guanyin and Yuan Suiyun, and the third tier is Wondrous Monk No Flower and Red Spot of the Central Plains…"
Among all the enemies Chu Liuxiang had encountered, only the wonderful monk No Flower was inferior to him in terms of martial arts. As for the rest of the enemies, like Shi Guanyin, Jellyfish Yin Ji, Chu Liuxiang was confident that she was no match for them in terms of martial arts.
Among them, when he encountered Shi Guanyin, he felt that he would definitely be defeated after 100 moves, and when he encountered the jellyfish Yin Ji, he would not be able to withstand more than 10 moves. However, Xue Xiaoren felt that Chu Liuxiang could withstand 150 to 200 moves from him in a tired state!
Through Chu Liuxiang's comparison, Xue Xiaoren's martial arts level was clearly expressed.
" He's better than a top-notch martial artist like No Flower, but slightly inferior to Shi Guanyin…Xue Xiaoren's martial arts level is clearly between the third and second grades, while Xue Yiren's martial arts are on par with him. Perhaps he's slightly better…" Ye Qiu rubbed his chin.
Of course, this was referring to their actual combat strength. If they really fought, the timing, geographical location, and people…all of these factors could change the outcome.
For example, the enemies Chu Liuxiang encountered were all stronger than him, so he was not confident, but he was still the final victor!
Because Chu Liuxiang was a peerless genius in martial arts! Not only did he learn martial arts, but he was also very quick-witted in the face of an enemy.
There were many martial arts that he could not break, but when it came to real combat, he could think of breaking the technique in an instant. This was really an amazing thing!
Therefore, some people who were stronger than him were defeated by him when they fought. Although they were defeated inexplicably, the more inexplicable they were, the more obedient they were. This was also the weakness of human psychology.
Qiao Feng of the Heavenly Dragon's Eight Divisions only had the talent for fighting, but Chu Liuxiang had the talent for both martial arts and fighting. It was obvious that her talent and intelligence surpassed Qiao Feng, a martial arts genius!
At this time, deep inside the Xue Manor, Ye Qiu could already feel a sharp edge in the front hall with his spiritual sense.
It was a sword qi that had been condensed to the extreme and was unparalleled in the world!
Xue Xiaoren's sword might be fast or poisonous, but it definitely did not have such a majestic feeling. It was just like the sword of Zhamuhe, which was publicly promoted by the pugilistic world and had the aura of the true number one sword in the world!
Ye Qiu still didn't have the time to fight with this peerless swordsman. His figure flashed and he retreated like a shadow.
In the front hall, the eyelids of an old man slowly moved.
This old man had a thin face, cloth shoes, white socks, and a blue robe. There was nothing special about him. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap.
However, just now, when Ye Qiu came to the left, his eyes slowly opened a line, revealing a bright divine light. It was soul-stirring and made people not dare to look straight at him.
Originally, he looked like an ordinary old man. However, when he opened his eyes, he did not look ordinary at all. He was like a sword, the world's number one sword!
This was Xue Yiren, the man who loved to wear clothes stained with the blood of his enemies! The number one swordsman in the world!
Xue Yiren's eyes were filled with doubt. He looked around and then slowly closed them. The originally astonishing momentum gradually faded, and he became an ordinary old man pretending to sleep again.
A gentleman hides his weapons in his body! His current realm had clearly reached this level!
Ye Qiu's spiritual perception was restrained, and he condensed his essence and Qi. His body turned into wood and stone, perfectly fusing with the environment. He didn't disturb the unparalleled sword Qi again, but went to the backyard.
"415…416…"
There was a small garden in the backyard, and a pavilion was built in the garden.
At this moment, there was a person sitting on the stone steps in the pavilion. His eyes were staring at the big tree in front of him as he muttered something. It was unknown what he was counting.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qiu walked over and said sweetly.
The person sitting on the steps was at least forty years old. His beard was already a little white, but he was wearing a red embroidered shirt. His bangs were embroidered with gold coins, and he was wearing a pair of tiger-head red velvet shoes. Under the starlight, his face seemed to be very rosy. On a closer look, he was actually wearing rouge.
He was counting with all his heart while pointing with his fingers. His hands were also making tinkling sounds. It turned out that he was still wearing a few golden bracelets with bells hanging on them.
Such a person was like an old fool, an old clown, who had been on a blind date with Cai Yi!
When Ye Qiu saw this, he couldn't help but admire Xue Xiaoren's forbearance. In any case, he was far from being able to act like a fool.
"Uncle, are you calling me Baby?" The clown turned around, his face flushed red as he giggled."I was counting the leaves. I made a bet with Xiao Hu this morning. He said that the leaves on this tree are even, and I said that they are odd, so I have to count them properly…"
"Uncle? Baby?" Ye Qiu touched his face and was a little depressed."Do I look old?"
Xue Baobao burst into laughter." So you're a fool. I'm only twelve, but you're at least twenty. If you're not an uncle, then what are you?" If my big brother heard this, he would definitely laugh until his stomach broke.”
"So you're only twelve?" Ye Qiu smiled.”
The clown counted with his fingers and said,""I just turned twelve today. Not a day more, not a day less.”
"Oh!" "Who's your big brother?" Ye Qiu nodded.”
"He's called Xue Yiren, and I'm called Xue Xiaoren, but everyone calls me Baby Xue…Baby Xue, do you think this name sounds good?"”
This clown was indeed the leader of the world's largest assassination organization, Xue Xiaoren!
Xue Xiaoren suddenly jumped up. His clothes were short and small, as if they had been stolen, but his hair and beard were very clean and shiny, as if they had been coated with shaving oil.
"Sob…Not good!" He looked like he was about to cry, like a child who had not gotten any candy."When I was talking to you just now, I forgot where to count again…sob…you have to compensate me!”
As soon as the word 'compensate me' was uttered, he actually flew up and drew the flexible sword that looked like a poisonous snake from his belt. With a swoosh, he stabbed out three times in a row!
Although he looked like a fool and a clown, his body was like an arrow and he arrived in an instant. His movement technique was fast enough to rank among the top ten in Jianghu!
What was even faster than his movement technique was his sword technique! These three swords were really fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Although Red Sparkle of the Central Plains was known as the fastest sword in the Central Plains, it was nothing compared to him.
"Good! I'll pay! If you can catch it, I'll compensate you!" Ye Qiu laughed. It was as if there was an invisible thread behind him that kept pulling him back. Although Xue Xiaoren's sword technique was fast, the sword tip was always an inch and a half away from him.
"Good! Baby loves to play hide-and-seek!" Xue Xiaoren clapped his hands and laughed. With a clang, four golden bracelets flew out and collided in midair. They changed their trajectory and crashed into Ye Qiu from two directions.
This "idiot" was not only skilled in Lightness Skill and swordsmanship, but his concealed weapon technique was also extremely ingenious. Even if the Tang Clan's Old Master Tang came personally, he would have to admit defeat.
"Good!" Ye Qiu stretched out his hand, and his jade-like hand instantly transformed into palm shadows that filled the sky. He grabbed the four golden bracelets one by one in his palm, and the sound of metal clashing rang out. It was as if his hand was made of iron.
"Give me back my bracelet!" Xue Xiaoren whimpered, a sharp light flashing in his eyes as he quickly followed behind Ye Qiu.
The two of them did not want to alarm others. One chased and the other fled. In a few ups and downs, they had already left the Xue Manor. After a cup of tea's time, they had run more than ten miles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The white shadow paused, and Ye Qiu's figure suddenly stopped. He went from extreme movement to extreme stillness. He raised his hands behind him, and four golden lights shot out.
Xue Xiaoren clapped his hands, and the sword shadow shot out like a poisonous snake. He tapped on the four gold bracelets, and those bracelets flew up and put on his wrist. They were tightly sewn together, just like he and Ye Qiu had rehearsed before.
"Haha…Xue Xiaoren, I really have to say that I admire your skill in pretending to be crazy!”Ye Qiu turned around and looked at Xue Xiaoren.
" Uncle, I don't understand a word you're saying…" Xue Xiaoren giggled, but the smile in his eyes had already faded.
He suddenly pointed at the knife on Ye Qiu's waist."Good! I don't want you to compensate me for counting the leaves. I want you to compensate me for that beautiful saber!”
Of course, Ye Qiu had a saber by his waist. It was the Gale Saber, one of the thirteen divine weapons that Zhan Muhe had lost to him!
"Not bad! "This eyesight…" Ye Qiu suddenly sighed."You were smart, talented, and highly skilled in martial arts. You could have been a rare expert in the martial arts world. With your martial arts and talent, you could have been famous in the martial arts world.”
The corner of Xue Baobao's mouth suddenly trembled violently, as if someone had whipped her face.
At this moment, the smile in his eyes finally disappeared, revealing a sharp cold light!
"The world's number one swordsman!" Ye Qiu sighed."This reputation is too heavy for a swordsman and even his family. Outsiders will only cheer for this achievement, but how can they know the blood and tears behind it?”
"Being Xue Yiren's younger brother is your fortune, but also your greatest misfortune!”
" Because all your achievements have been overshadowed by the glory of the 'Number One Swordsman in the World'. If you have achievements, it's only right because you're the younger brother of the' Number One Swordsman in the World'. If you occasionally do something wrong, it will become a heinous crime because everyone will think that you've disgraced your brother.”
Xue Xiaoren's entire body started to tremble.
Ye Qiu continued," But you didn't bow down to fate, nor did you become depressed because you weren't someone who would admit defeat. However, you also knew that your achievements would never be able to surpass your brother's, so you chose another path and walked the path of secretly forming an assassin organization…"
"However, under the constraints of Xue Yiren, you can't act rashly at all. That's why you came up with the wonderful method of 'pretending to be lunatic', so that people won't pay attention to you anymore, so that people will be disappointed in you. Only then can you be free and do what you want.”
"Now, you are the leader of the largest assassin organization in the martial arts world. You are one of the most powerful, mysterious, and cruel assassins in the martial arts world! Even a master like Red from the Central Plains was just a sword in your hand. If you asked him to kill, he had to kill!”
" What a nice story!" Xue Xiaoren suddenly laughed maniacally." But it's all your imagination. You don't even have any evidence!"”
"Could it be that in your eyes, I'm the same as Chu Liuxiang, someone who insists on reasoning with evidence?”
Ye Qiu glanced at Xue Xiaoren, causing the blood in his body to turn cold.
"Not bad!" Xue Xiaoren's face darkened, and he no longer had the innocence and childishness from before.""You're just like me, a person who doesn't follow the rules! What is your motive for going through so much trouble to find me?”
Although he was still wearing gaudy clothes, his temperament had become as cold as a poisonous snake. His eyes shot out a ferocious and greedy light, which made people shudder.
" For someone like me, it would be a joke to say that I'm here to uphold justice…" Ye Qiu shook his head."I'm here to do business with you! This business is too big for the Chinese server to accept, so I can only look for you!”
"Oh?" Xue Xiaoren played with the hilt of the flexible sword in his hand."I'm an assassin. It's fair and reasonable for me to pay to kill someone. However, my price is not cheap…"
"Three million taels of silver!" "How about three million taels of silver?" Ye Qiu suddenly asked.”
Xue Xiaoren's eyes flickered when he heard this number. Even though he was the biggest boss in the assassin world, he had never accepted a business at this price.
"It's indeed a big deal. Who do you want to kill?”Xue Xiaoren asked.
"How is Xue Yi?" "I heard that Little Red in the Central Plains doesn't recognize anyone. He'll kill anyone for money. Since you're his master, you must be the same…" Ye Qiu said.
"Yes! "I'm the same kind of person…" Xue Xiaoren was halfway through his sentence when his tone changed."But I have a better choice now, and that is…you!!!”
"How much are you willing to pay me to not kill you?”Xue Xiaoren sneered." Since you can afford three million taels, you might have six million taels on you. If I let you go, wouldn't I be a fool?"”
" Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I don't even have a single copper coin on me…" Ye Qiu smiled." I've changed my mind too. You're such an interesting person. It would be a pity to kill you. But…since you want to be an idiot, then you can be one for the rest of your life…"
"It seems that neither of us has the sincerity to do business!”Xue Xiaoren's face suddenly became wooden, and the aura on his body also dissipated-he was 'dumbfounded'! This was the best description of his current situation!
Ye Qiu looked at Xue Xiaoren and his expression became solemn.
Ding! Ding! In the deathly silent environment, a clear cry suddenly sounded.
It was Xue Xiaoren's sword! The blade of the sword suddenly moved, emitting a faint sword hum, like a poisonous snake roaring, thirsting for the enemy's blood!
Ye Qiu suddenly felt that he was not facing a person or a sword, but a chaotic, strange, and demonic killing intent!
This mass of killing intent was formed by a strange person and a demonic sword. The person and the sword had already fused into one, and it was almost invincible and invulnerable.
This person had become the ghost of the sword, and the sword had become the soul of the person. This was the realm of the devil within the sword! Anyone who made an enemy of this Sword Demon was not only unwise, but also unfortunate!
There seemed to be some airflow in the air.
Xue Xiaoren had actually merged his killing intent with the sword qi! At this moment, the killing intent seemed to be alive. Although his sword had not moved, this killing intent was already flowing and permeating everywhere!
