Chapter 14 Su Bai's Remarks: The Sword Is Untainted, but the Heart Is!
The Li Dynasty, the Prince Liang's Residence.
"Brother-in-law, how is Ye Gucheng's sword?”
Xu Xiaonian had been listening to Old Sword God Li's comment on Yan Shisan's sword with great interest. Now that Su Bai was sitting in front of him, Xu Xiaonian couldn't help but be curious. He wanted to hear Su Zhe's opinion on this swordsman.
"There are some redeeming points, but I can't reach the peak.”Su Bai took a sip of tea and said lightly.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaonian could not help but be slightly surprised.
What kind of sword technique would be able to catch the attention of these people?
Just now, Yan Thirteen and Sword God Li had commented that Ye Gucheng was too murderous, but Su Bai had said that Ye Gucheng only had some merits?
Did this mean that the two swordsmen on the Golden Roll were not worthy of their attention?
"Why can't I reach the peak mastery realm?" Xu Xiaonian couldn't help but ask again. He practiced the saber, but he used sword intent and sword moves!
This was also why Xu Xiaonian was so interested in the Golden Roll.
There was no first in literature and no second in martial arts!
Since he, Xu Xiaonian, had entered the martial path, he naturally wanted to step into the ultimate realm of martial arts!
This was also something that countless martial arts experts had been thinking about.
Xu Xiaonian also wanted to avoid detours on the path of martial arts, so he humbly asked Su Bai for advice.
"Just listen to what your brother-in-law says. Why do you have so many questions?”Xu Xiao was unhappy. He was very careful with Su Bai, afraid that he would say something wrong and offend Su Bai.
Seeing Xu Xiaonian ask so many questions, Xu Xiao panicked!
Just as Xu Xiao was in a daze, God of Swords Li and Xu Yanbing went upstairs again. God of Swords Li's voice came from behind everyone,""This old man also wants to hear what the Su family's kid thinks of this Ye Gu Cheng! He felt that this person's sword technique had touched it, but he didn't know what was missing. He couldn't reach the pinnacle of the sword path!”
Old Sword God Li was also quite puzzled. He had thought that the person who could slash out such a terrifying sword intent was at least a Celestial Being, let alone a half-step Land Immortal!
Such a flawless sword intent could only be comprehended by those who were at the peak of martial arts.
However, why was Ye Gucheng still stuck on immortal-level even though he had comprehended the Flawless Sword Essence? The Old Sword God Li still could not figure out the strangeness behind it.
Xu Yanbing was also puzzled. That sword was clearly a perfect one. Why did Ye Gucheng choose to deviate from the sword and cause his own life to be lost to Ximen Jian?
The three of them were waiting for Su Bai's answer.
Su Bai said,"This man's swordsmanship is pure, but his heart is dirty!" His thoughts were complicated, and he could not be sincere at all!
With dirt in his heart, he naturally couldn't act without scruples!”
"You have dirt in your heart?"
Xu Xiaonian didn't seem to understand. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the hesitation in Ye Gucheng's eyes, but from what Su Bai said, he seemed to know why.
"Let me ask you, where is the essence of the sword?”
Bai Xiaonian was confused by Su Bai's question.
Su Bai's question seemed simple, but it touched on the essence of swordsmanship. For a moment, Xu Xiaonian didn't know how to answer.
Perhaps only those warriors who had been immersed in swordsmanship for decades would know the answer to Su Bai's question.
"The path of the sword naturally lies in sincerity! How you treat the sword, the sword will respond to you!”
"Cheng?" Xu Xiaonian seemed to be deep in thought when he heard this.
Su Bai nodded and then explained:"Only by being sincere and righteous, and wholeheartedly focusing on the sword, can one reach the peak of the sword path!
A person with an insincere heart was not qualified to compete in the sword!”
"As for this person…his Dao of the Sword is flawless, but his heart is not sincere! Those who learned the sword should only be sincere to the sword, not to others!”
"When Ye Gucheng agreed to King Nan's assassination of the Emperor, his sword heart was no longer pure, and he could no longer perform the most holy and pure sword! His sword heart was tainted by power and was already extremely filthy. With distracting thoughts in his heart, he naturally could not use his sword with all his strength!”
His swordsmanship was flawless, but his heart was dirty. He could not be sincere!
But in the end, this former Sword God had given the opportunity to kill him to Ximen Chuixue!
Since he was determined to die, he might as well die under the sword he admired!
This was an acceptable ending!
"Sure enough, Ye Gucheng moved his sword away on purpose!”
Xu Xiaonian was enlightened. Experts like Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng would never make such a mistake in a life-and-death battle.
However, if Ye Gucheng chose to reveal his flaws to Ximen Chuixue, then everything would make sense!
This was exactly the same as Yan Thirteen's reaction during his last battle.
In the end, these two top swordsmen in the world died in front of their opponents!
"Although he looks similar to Yan Shisan, he's different!”
Su Bai concluded that Ye Gucheng was dead. Hearing that, the old Sword God Li couldn't help but be interested. He asked,""Su brat, these two people both died in a sword duel. What's the difference?”
Su Bai smiled and explained: "Although Yan Shisan was faced with a choice, he still decided to die frankly and not let the Life-Taking Sword Technique be passed down to the world.
However, Ye Gucheng was different. The White Cloud Sword Immortal Ye Gucheng looked down on the martial world and once sighed as a lonely master. The reason why he participated in the plot of the Prince of the South to usurp the throne was because his sword skills had reached the perfection. He had nothing to ask for in the path of martial arts. The master was lonely, so he wanted to kill time in his boring life.
Ye Gucheng's death was because he was desperate and wanted to find a way to die with relative honor.
Originally, no one in the Daming Empire could break his Transcendent Flying Immortal, not even Ximen Chuixue. However, his heart had long been tainted. If he could not be sincere, how could he be a match for Ximen Chuixue, whose Heart Integrated into Sword?
Compared to Yan Shisan, Ye Gucheng was not as good.”
One was willing to die for justice, while the other was forced to make a choice. Yan Shisan deserved to be called a hero, but Ye Gucheng was a hero!
Su Bai's words seemed unintentional, but now everyone was shocked!
"How did this Su brat know about Ye Gucheng's current state of mind? Even the people of the Daming Empire probably wouldn't have such an understanding of Ye Gucheng's matters as the Su Family's kid, right?”
Old Sword God Li was shocked. It was obvious that the Darming Empire was not prepared at this time and was almost succeeded by Ye Gucheng!
Because this was an assassination operation, it should be kept secret from the beginning to the end.
But how did Su Bai know so clearly?
Old Sword God Li came to the top floor of Tide-listening Pavilion almost every day. In his memory, Su Bai had never left Tide-listening Pavilion!
People sitting in the pavilion, know the world!
Was Su Bai really using some kind of immortal technique?
