The heavy snow in Wei Country came so suddenly. The pure white snow seemed to bury the deep darkness under it. The vast mountains and rivers were covered in silver.
In the white mountain, a figure staggered along the river bank, leaving behind footprints and dripping blood.
The man looked to be in his early thirties. He wore a blue suit and had a mature and rough face. He had a beard at the corner of his mouth and slightly messy hair, making him look rather unrestrained.
The man had already forgotten his original name.
He was once a great thief in the martial world, and he was very lucky to have obtained a peerless sword. Legend had it that the King of Yue, Gou Jian, had sought out a famous master to forge one of the eight swords. The world called it the 'Yue Ba Sword!'?
The sword that this great thief had obtained was the fourth famous sword, Xuan Jian. From now on, this great thief would use this sword as his name.
Xuan Jian's original name was 'Xuan Jian' and its meaning was that when a flying bird swam past, it would feel like it was cut off when it touched its blade. From this, one could tell how sharp this famous sword was.
The Xuan Jian was a pair with a black sword and a white sword. The great thief used this famous sword to make a name for himself in the pugilistic world. People called him the Black and White Xuan Jian.
However, after the Black-White Profound Blade obtained this famous sword, it was also noticed by an ancient assassin organization, the Network.
As an ancient assassin organization, no one knew who built the network and when it was built.
In the past hundred years, although this organization had occasionally appeared in the martial arts world, it was not much different from other assassin organizations.
However, ever since the Network joined Lu Buwei and used the State of Qin's power to develop themselves, this ancient assassin organization had also grown stronger. Now, it had finally risen to fame.
The Network was a famous sword, because all famous swords had spirits, it could greatly increase the strength of the user.
As an assassin organization, using the power of a famous sword to forge a killing tool was the best method.
Perhaps for the swordsmen in the martial world, using their swords to control others was shameful, but for an assassin organization like the Network, as long as the tools were useful, it was fine.
Because of this, the Black-White Profound Jian, who was wielding the famous sword, became the target of the net.
No matter how strong the Black White Profound Swordsman was and how superb his sword technique was, it was still beyond his power when faced with the ancient assassin organization that had borrowed the strength of the Qin country and collected many famous swords in the world.
Perhaps it was to save his own life, or perhaps he wanted to obtain greater strength, the Black and White Profound Swordsman eventually joined the Network and passed a series of tests and cruel training to become a Heaven-grade first-class assassin.
After that, there would be endless slaughter.
However, the world was so big that there were many capable people. Even a first-class assassin would encounter enemies that he could not kill with his own strength.
Especially the military formation, it was ever-changing and unpredictable. No matter how strong a martial arts expert was, if they fell into the military formation, they could only bear hatred on the spot.
The Black-White Profound Clipper had been seriously injured during a mission and was saved by a woman.
That was a woman who was as gentle as water, gentle and considerate, enough to make Xuan Jian put down all killing and only want to spend the rest of his life with her.
The two of them quickly fell in love and decided to marry each other.
If that girl was just a girl from an ordinary family, Xuan Jian's life might have been changed. However, that girl was the daughter of Wei Country's First Sikong, Wei Yong.
Wei Yong knew Xuan Jian's identity and forced him to assassinate those political enemies for him.
Coincidentally, at this time, the Qin army was fighting with the Wei Kingdom. Xuan Jian received the assassination order from the network and used it against Wei Kingdom's officials to remove all obstacles for Wei Yong.
Who knew that Wei Yong would push his luck and make his assassination targets more and more difficult. He even threatened the lives of his newborn child and his wife.
Although Xuan Jian was annoyed by Wei Yong's greed, Wei Yong was ultimately his father-in-law. For the sake of his wife and children's safety, he had no choice but to follow Wei Yong's request and continue this slaughter.
Until Wei Yong gave him his final target, which was to assassinate the Wei General, the leader of the Pijia Sect.
As the leader of the Pijia Sect, this Wei Country's general's martial arts had long reached perfection. Even if he faced the enemy head-on, Xuan Jian would find it difficult to kill him, let alone under the protection of the army.
This was practically a mission that would result in death.
However, Wei Yong had also given him some help. The Wei General had been seriously injured in the battle with the Qin army.
Wei Yong also used the traitor he bought and his power to create an opportunity for Xuan Jian to assassinate him.
In the end, the Wei Country's Great General still died under his Profound Jian.
Xuan Jian originally thought that he would be able to obtain freedom after completing the mission.
However, he did not expect that Wei Yong was afraid that he would leak the news and expose that these assassinations were his orders. He killed the donkey when he was done, burning the bridge after crossing the river, and forced him into a dead end.
Xuan Jian didn't die in the end, but the price was that his beloved wife died tragically in that scheme in order to save him.
He thought of his wife's gentle smile before she died and her gradually cold body.
When he thought of how she used her hand that was covered in blood to caress his face and revealed a smile that made him feel at ease, Xuan Jian felt a wave of heart-wrenching pain that made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Wei Yong!"
On the empty riverbank, Xuan Jian roared in a hoarse voice, shaking off the snow on the tree branches.
A stream of warmth flowed down from the corner of his eyes, along with the blood falling into the white snow. Even the cruel training of the net, even when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, Xuan Jian did not shed a single tear.
However, the death of his wife made him feel as if all the tears in his life had dried up.
This small lake was the place where he and his wife had fallen in love. It was the softest direction in his heart, and it was also the place where he had given up killing and chosen to protect.
Now, the white sword that symbolized protection was broken. He wanted to retrieve the black sword that symbolized slaughter here. He wanted to become a vengeful ghost, even if he had to give up everything!
On the shore of the lake, Xuan Jian took a deep breath and jumped into the lake with his heavily injured body. The cold lake water stimulated his wounds, but it also made him more clear-headed.
He sank to the bottom of the lake and found the sword that he had abandoned for the first half of his life. He held the black sword in his hand, and the violent killing intent in his heart filled the lake.
"Cough cough…cough cough…"
He found the black sword and swam out of the lake. The Black White Profound Jian barely managed to crawl to the riverbank. His current aura was weak, as if he could lose his life at any moment.
The thought of revenge supported his body. Xuan Jian stood with his sword and panted heavily on the bank of the river that was covered in snow.
Right at this time, Xuan Jian suddenly felt an unfamiliar aura in front of him. He thought that it was someone sent by Wei Yong to kill him, and this made Xuan Jian shocked and furious.
He was already a dead man now. Without the strength of a first-class killer, he might really die here if Wei Yong really sent people to hunt him down.
But even so, the rage of hatred still supported the Black White Profound Swordsman. He could not die here. He had to kill Wei Yong and everyone in the Wei Clan!
In the past, because Wei Yong was his wife's father, he could endure it.
However, since Wei Yong could even give up his own daughter, there was no need for him to live!
Xuan Jian used his sword to support his body. He raised his head and looked forward with eyes filled with killing intent.
Different from what Xuan Jian had imagined, the person who came didn't seem to be an assassin sent by Wei Yong, but a graceful young master wearing a fur coat and a brocade robe.
However, although Xuan Jian was a little surprised to see such a young master in embroidered clothes in this desolate and uninhabited snow ground, Xuan Jian's gaze did not land on him. Instead, it landed on the baby in his arms.
"Don't tell me you don't even recognize your own son? The Network's first-class assassin, the Black and White Profound Jian!”
Ying Wei was hugging a tightly wrapped baby who was sleeping quietly in his arms. He looked at the Black and White Profound Jian in front of him, whose killing intent had completely dissipated and whose face was filled with shock and anger, and said with a smile.
"Who are you? Could it be someone from the net?"
Seeing that his son was actually being hugged by a stranger, Xuan Jian only felt dizzy and his hands and feet were cold as he asked in shock and anger.
His wife had just passed away. If he could not even protect his son, how could he face Qianqian in the afterlife?
"Ying Wei!"
Ying Wei did not hide his identity. His expression was calm as he spoke in a steady manner.
" Lord Chang 'an?!"
Xuan Jian was stunned. Although he was an assassin, how could he not know about this young master of the Qin country who was currently traveling and learning?
