When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 398: Queen, have you had an epiphany?!
Clang!!
The sound of iron hammering and blades colliding echoed in everyone's head.
Everyone's eyes were only on the 'two knives' colliding on the field.
It looked like just an ordinary collision, but everyone's heart was inexplicably trembling with fear, and some people around even trembled for no reason.
The next moment!
The knives on countless people's waists began to tremble and whine.
Everyone lowered their heads to look at the knives at their waists, even Su Changan was the same.
But that was the moment when everyone looked at the knife!
Buzz!!!
With the naked eye, one could see the gusts of wind rolling up the dust above the martial arts field, with Yan Yunxiao and Luo Changfeng as the center, rushing towards all directions like the Yellow River!
The overwhelming sword intent and sword energy mixed in the air waves!
Wherever the wind wave passed, tiny cuts on the ground were clearly visible, and some wooden objects such as wooden frames surrounding the martial arts field collapsed instantly!
A wave of air passed by Su Changan, and his messy black hair fluttered freely.
He could clearly feel the two sword intentions.
A wave of violent frenzy.
A restrained murderous aura.
but
Su Changan stared at the two "knives" on the field.
The surrounding sword intent is surging and the momentum is overwhelming.
But Su Changan saw clearly that the two men's swords
Very light!
Originally, he could feel the sword intent and sword energy of the two men all on the blade, but now
Su Changan saw very clearly that the two men's sword intent was not on the blades at all, but on where they were.
So, their knives are very light.
Very light!
Therefore, it feels like the two of them are the swords.
Because the sword intent is completely concentrated in the body and the sword energy is wrapped around the body, the sword in the hand is a tool, and the body itself is the real "sword"!
The knife in your hand is not the real weapon for cutting people, but yourself.
Su Changan stared at the two of them, thinking about the time when she cut paper with a knife, and also about what Yan Yunxiao told her when they first started practicing with the knife: "A blunt knife is not sharp."
boom!!
But it was at this moment!
A violent wave of air exploded!
In an instant, the surroundings of Yan Yunxiao and Luo Changfeng returned to calm, and the sword intent and sword energy just now also suddenly disappeared at this moment!
Luo Changfeng did not hesitate at all. The moment he slightly retracted the force of the broken sword in his hand, the blade in his hand rubbed against the blade in Yan Yunxiao's hand, and sparks appeared!
But just as the knife in Yan Yunxiao's hand approached, Luo Changfeng suddenly turned the knife in his hand, held it in the opposite hand, and slashed directly at Yan Yunxiao from bottom to top, with a green knife aura dragging it!
The speed is extremely fast and it arrives in a flash!
but!
Bang!!
However, it was directly blocked by the sword named "Zhan Ye" in Yan Yunxiao's hand!
At the moment of blocking, [Chasing General] was lifted up by Yan Yunxiao.
Then he chopped it down with a knife!
Luo Changfeng glanced around and retreated several meters. At that moment, he looked at the knife that Yan Yunxiao had already chopped down, but he had no intention of dodging or blocking it. Instead, he pushed hard with his feet and rushed directly towards the knife that Yan Yunxiao was chopping down!
With his hands crossed, he chopped down the knife directly towards Yan Yunxiao, and they collided!
But at the moment of contact, the two swords crossed and caught the knife.
Swish!!
The sparks from the friction of the blades appeared again!
But at the moment when the old man used his two swords to dissipate most of the force of the sword, he turned his body slightly to the side, and at the same time, he pulled out the two swords from under the blades that contained great power. Holding the blades with both hands, he took advantage of this gap and dragged them from bottom to top to slash at Yan Yunxiao with both swords!
Bang!!
At this moment, Yan Yunxiao's knife had already fallen completely!
A huge pit with a turtle pattern was instantly smashed into the ground of the martial arts arena, and a crack extended outward!
And this
It was a blow after Luo Changfeng had absorbed most of the force!
But at the moment when the knife fell, Yan Yunxiao's other hand's [Zhan Ye] collided with the old man's double knives that were slashing towards Yan Yunxiao from bottom to top with his body tilted!
But at this moment, Yan Yunxiao suddenly shook his [Chasing the General] in his hand, and chopped it towards the old man with his backhand!
Clang!!
A crisp sound appeared!
As if it had been expected, the old man used one sword to counter Yan Yunxiao's [Zhan Ye], and the other sword directly blocked the blade of [Zhu Jiang].
Yan Yunxiao looked at Luo Changfeng: "What a light knife."
Luo Changfeng's forehead was covered with sweat, and it was obvious that he was not at all relaxed. Hearing this, he laughed out loud: "Don't fucking say your knife is heavy!!"
The lighter the knife.
The stronger the sword intent concentrated in one's body!
The sword energy is getting heavier!
The corner of Yan Yunxiao's mouth rose, but at the same time he lifted up the [Zhan Ye] in his hand with less force.
Seeing this, Luo Changfeng immediately retreated!
God knows how much strength he had to use to block the woman's knife just now. If it happens again, he will lose half his life!
So this time Luo Changfeng chose to avoid it directly!
He came here to fight to the death to settle a matter on his mind, but he didn't want to die here, so he had to fight a few more times!
But just when Luo Changfeng was about to dodge, Yan Yunxiao's [Zhan Ye] had already chopped down.
Luo Changfeng knew that there was no escape and he could only fight hard!
Yan Yunxiao directly smashed down the [Zhan Ye] in his hand!
Luo Changfeng crossed his two swords and barely blocked it!
but.
Luo Changfeng also knelt on one knee. At first, there was only a small hole on the ground caused by Luo Changfeng's knee.
But the next moment!
boom!!
Circles of big holes continued to extend from the small hole.
Luo Changfeng's forehead was covered with sweat. After cursing, he struggled to knock the knife out of Yan Yunxiao's hand, then he pushed hard with his feet and jumped up!
Then he raised both swords above his head and chopped down towards Yan Yunxiao!
Can't lose!
At least let Yan Yunxiao strike a few more times! !
so.
As an old man, I have been practicing sword skills for decades before I have reached this level. So even if I cannot win, I will chop down the top of your mountain!
Yan Yunxiao could feel the old man's determination when he started to draw his sword, especially when he felt the old man's momentum change now, he smiled even more excitedly, and while clenching [Chase the General] and [Cut the Night] in his hands, he lightly kicked his foot, and the ground shattered.
The two men's blades collided again in mid-air.
Afterwards
clang!
Clang!!
The blade light flashed continuously, which could not be captured by the naked eye!
The two figures could not be caught by the naked eye in time, sometimes in mid-air, sometimes on the ground.
Every time the two swords collide, sword energy will overflow, and the martial arts arena will be left with countless cuts.
Every collision would be accompanied by overwhelming sword intent and invisible air waves surging in all directions.
Every time they collided, either Luo Changfeng was blasted out and smashed heavily somewhere on the side of the martial arts stage, or Yan Yunxiao was blasted away, but no matter what, the sword light did not stop!
There are no complicated sword moves, let alone fancy fighting.
Very simple.
But every time these two great masters made a casual move of their swords, it would surely make everyone around them tremble in fear.
Moreover, the momentum of the two people changed completely. Everyone could clearly feel the courage and determination of the old man who tried his best and the sharpness of Yan Yunxiao's two swords!
So strong!
No one denies Yan Yunxiao's strength, and no one denies Luo Changfeng's strength either.
Even the old men of the Chixia Army and the Huanglong Guard were all stunned.
Because it has been a long time since we have seen Commander Yan fighting like this. Even when he was facing Ji Kui and the other two masters who were at the top of their game, the Commander was not like this!
But now
This old man made the commander-in-chief take so many actions!
Everyone looked at the two knives that kept appearing in the air, clenched their fists, and swallowed their saliva.
Naturally there is shock.
Because this kind of endless confrontation was the first time I had ever seen it in my life.
Therefore.
It made countless people present excited!
The pursuit of warriors is nothing more than "becoming stronger"!
The belief of warriors is nothing more than "becoming stronger".
What you want is the end point!
And now, we see its power.
Become stronger!
How strong is it?
The level of these two people in front of me!
Everyone allowed themselves to be washed away by the overwhelming sword energy and momentum. They did not dodge or evade. Even if they could not stand steadily due to the momentum of the energy, they had to try their best to hold on.
His eyes were fixed on the completely dilapidated training ground in front of him, and on the battle between the two people on the field.
Li Xizhi just appeared beside Su Changan. The moment he sensed the movement here, he rushed over immediately.
Although he was shocked that the old man could fight with the big sister to this extent, he noticed that the queen was also there, so he naturally stood over quickly.
But just came here.
He saw that Su Changan was watching the two people fighting intently without even blinking, and the sword intent around him changed slightly. So he immediately asked Lian Wei and others around Su Changan to leave, leaving him alone standing beside Su Changan.
But he did not help Su Changan to block the sword intent during the fight between the two, nor did he try to block the sword energy. All of these were useless to the current Queen!
because
If he's seeing correctly.
This is hitting the limit!
Even though he wanted to curse in his heart, after all how could the Queen's cultivation be as easy as playing, he did not dare to be careless at all and protected the Dharma silently!
boom!!
And at this moment!
Luo Changfeng was blasted directly onto the huge stands in front of the martial arts training ground!
The sky is full of dust and fog!
A huge pit was smashed directly in the middle of the huge stand, and in the pit, Luo Changfeng had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his clothes were tattered, and blood was flowing from the old man's forehead.
Right in front of the stands, Yan Yunxiao took two steps towards the stands with two knives in his hands. Wow!
But the whole person rushed directly towards the stands!
The old man looked at Yan Yunxiao who was rushing towards him, and clenched the broken knife in his hand. Blood had already flowed down the old man's hand and onto the handle of the knife.
but.
Just when the old man was about to rush towards Yan Yunxiao, he suddenly felt one of his legs go weak. The old man frowned, then looked at Yan Yunxiao who was already rushing towards him, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and then pushed hard with his other leg, and rushed towards Yan Yunxiao again!
The broken blade is held in reverse grip.
His face was solemn. It was only one leg that was broken. He still had one leg and two arms!!
The only thing in his eyes was the woman with a slightly crazy smile on her face.
This time.
It's been a long time. I've been fighting with this bitch for a long time. I hope I can last this long.
It seems to be. Seventy-five dollars?
Well, the twenty years of thinking about how to fight this bitch were not in vain.
Okay, okay.
That's a lot of knives.
If you try harder, it will be $100.
If it gets to a hundred dollars, then this trip won’t be in vain and I, an old man, can die without regrets!
When thinking about this, Luo Changfeng was stunned.
because
He saw Yan Yunxiao suddenly put the [Zhu Jiang] back into the scabbard of his sword and held [Zhan Ye] in both hands.
The old man had a serious expression on his face, and he growled while gritting his teeth.
Swish!!
This time, the two blades did not collide!
The figures did not stop, but staggered forward and backward.
Yan Yunxiao leaned forward, and the tip of the [Zhan Ye] sword in his hand fell to the ground, and some blood flowed down the blade and fell to the ground.
Two snaps.
It was the sound of the broken blade in Luo Changfeng's hand being cut off and falling to the ground.
Bang!
Another sound!
It was the sound of Luo Changfeng's blood spurting out from his chest and then he fell heavily to the ground.
boom!!
The stands that Luo Changfeng had just smashed into a big hole were directly split into two.
Yan Yunxiao held the knife in one hand, wiped off the blood on [Zhan Ye], and then put [Zhan Ye] back into the scabbard.
She also had injuries on her body, but they were not serious, just superficial wounds.
but
Yan Yunxiao didn't care about these things, he just looked at Luo Changfeng who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Luo Changfeng lay on the ground, clenching the "knife" with only the handle in his hand, and looked at Yan Yunxiao.
But suddenly
"ha"
“Hahahaha!! Cough cough cough~~~”
Luo Changfeng burst into laughter.
Then he turned over with a struggling expression.
Facing the sky, the wound on his chest looked particularly hideous.
And Luo Changfeng looked at the sky.
After all, is it only seventy-five dollars?
But it seems that there are quite a lot
Thinking of this, Luo Changfeng looked at the sky and laughed.
…
At the same time, in the south of Daxia, there is a paddy field with green mountains and green waters.
It’s not cold in the south and the weather is suitable, so it’s like spring all year round.
A boy with a sword looked at the empty thatched house not far away and sighed a little disappointed. If it were any other time at this time, he would have had several quarrels with the old man who lived in that house.
But the old man left before, saying he had to go do some business. The boy didn’t think much of it at first, but as time went by.
I found myself missing that disrespectful and wretched old man more and more.
"Dad, do you think Old Man Luo, at his age, can really fight with others with swords?" The boy asked, looking at the middle-aged man who was planting rice.
The climate in the south is suitable, and the paddy fields need to be planted in late February, so they start planting rice just after the Lantern Festival.
The middle-aged man bent down and stuck the last seedling in his hand into the mud, then looked at the boy: "Really?"
The boy rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, what do you mean by yes or no? Yes means yes, and no means no. Have you forgotten what our grandfather taught you?"
The man smiled and said, "Dad doesn't know either, but that senior said before he left that he was going to the capital, so he was going to ask for the sword."
The boy lowered his head and used his feet to stir the water in the paddy field. Then he muttered, "How old are you? You're still asking people for advice. You don't even know how good you are, but you're imitating young people to ask for advice. Hey, can't you just enjoy your retirement here?"
When the man heard this, he immediately said, "Don't speak ill of that senior."
The boy immediately said, "What the hell? Old Man Luo himself said that he was so scared that he didn't dare to draw his sword, so he retired from the martial arts world and lived in seclusion."
But after saying that, the boy continued, "But I think Old Man Luo is lying to me. After all, you and Grandpa both asked him for advice. He must be very powerful. How could he be scared to the point of not being able to draw his sword?"
The boy frowned and looked puzzled: "Dad, tell me, is the man who asked for the knife by old man Luo powerful?"
Before the man retired with his family, he was a well-known swordsman in the martial arts world and knew very well who lived in the capital.
So, he nodded: "If it is somewhere else, it should not be as powerful as Senior Luo, but if it is in the capital, it is very strong."
The boy was curious: "How powerful is it?"
The man was stunned by the question, but he looked at the mountain in front of him and said, "Do you remember when you stood in front of that mountain before, you said it was so big that you couldn't even see the top?"
The boy looked at the mountain and nodded: "I remember it. It was the first time I saw such a high mountain."
The man smiled and said, "In the eyes of your grandfather and I, Senior Luo is just like that mountain, unreachable and with no end in sight."
The boy was stunned and looked at his father in confusion: "What do you mean?"
The man didn't explain much, and then pointed to the sky and said, "Which one do you think is bigger, the sky or the mountain?"
The boy looked at the sky and immediately said, "Of course it is big. It is the biggest sky in the world."
The man looked down at his son and said, "Senior Luo is the mountain. He is the one who goes to ask for the sword. He is the sky in the eyes of all swordsmen."
Boy: “Huh?”
Then he looked up at the sky, then at the tallest mountain around, and then looked up at the sky again. Isn't that seeking death?
The man looked at his son and smiled, but did not tell his son that among all the swordsmen in the world, there are very few who dare to challenge the 'Heaven' with swords.
Even fewer people dare to draw their swords in front of the sky.
When many people saw this, their bodies began to tremble, and they even forgot that they were swordsmen and that they had practiced swordplay.
This is not an exaggeration.
Because when the man faced that "sky", he was one of those who did not dare to draw his sword.
…
Luo Changfeng withdrew his gaze, glanced at Yan Yunxiao on the side, and stopped looking at the woman, but closed his eyes.
Luo Changfeng's talent in martial arts is actually not very high.
The sect he joined was not a big one, but just an ordinary small one. In the world of martial arts, if a small sect does not have some strength, it will be swallowed up by other big sects.
The sect he belonged to was annexed that year.
Luo Changfeng, who did not have much talent in martial arts, was only a third-rank martial artist back then, but as the only survivor of the sect, he wanted revenge, so he practiced swordplay desperately. One day, he met a senior who taught him how to use a sharp sword.
After that, Luo Changfeng worked even harder.
When he was thirty years old, he destroyed the sect that annexed his own.
At that time, Luo Changfeng had just entered Zhijing, and was in high spirits. He met a girl and thought he had met the love of his life. Unexpectedly, this girl was only willing to stay with him because he was Zhijing.
So Luo Changfeng let the woman leave, damn the woman, and then he started to keep company with the knife.
At the beginning, he was nicknamed "Three Swords" because of his quick sword.
but
Although Luo Changfeng was very proud of himself, he had always known that his talent was very average.
Because his world of martial arts belonged to that female sword fairy. Especially after witnessing the charm of the female sword fairy with his own eyes, he became more convinced that he was just an ordinary person who had good luck and had reached the ultimate.
If you want to become stronger, you must work harder.
Later, Luo Changfeng met the fifth pair who were gifted.
He was defeated by the fifth pair in just three moves.
Later, he met the owner of the knife-selling shop, and still lost in three moves.
Luo Changfeng didn't think it was a big deal, because he knew that these two were monsters, and it was normal for a mortal like him to be unable to defeat them.
And later, he asked the fifth pair, the owner of the knife-on-credit shop, about the knife.
Although still defeated.
But they would lose only after hundreds of moves, and they would become stronger and stronger.
Until the end, Luo Changfeng even had the upper hand over the fifth pair. Although he was still defeated by a few moves, he could win if he had more time!
The fifth pair admitted this.
but
The fifth pair died.
The owner of the knife-selling shop also died.
Luo Changfeng was very sorry to see his two old friends leave, but there was nothing he could do as everyone must die one day.
But Luo Changfeng is said by people all over the world to be the best at using a knife.
Luo Changfeng didn't think this title was of any use, but he enjoyed having people constantly challenging him because he liked to compete with others.
But
Too weak.
Those who came to compete with him were too weak!
until
Met that woman.
After defeating countless swordsmen, Luo Changfeng once again tasted the taste of failure, and he was defeated by a female swordsman who had just started out.
But Luo Changfeng was open-minded by nature, and he always believed that he had poor talent and only achieved his current success through hard work, so he didn't care after losing.
It was just another monster with extraordinary talent, just like the fifth pair and the owner of the knife-selling room.
So after losing once
He worked even harder in practicing sword skills. Although the woman was much older than him and a senior in the martial arts world, Luo Changfeng wanted to win.
When he knew that the woman would also attend the sword-waving meeting, he went too.
When he first met Yan Yunxiao, they fought for more than 390 blows and he was defeated.
Second time.
Two hundred and ten dollars!
He lost!
Luo Changfeng didn't care at all. Instead, he thought that he was not working hard enough, so he practiced sword skills even harder.
The third time was in the Western Regions. He knew Yan Yunxiao was in Dunhuang, so he went to find him.
but.
Forty dollars.
This time, after forty strikes, Luo Changfeng was defeated.
At that time, he looked at the tall woman and could not see the sun for the first time.
But Luo Changfeng worked harder and harder, and even began to visit friends in order to make himself stronger.
but.
The fourth time, twenty dollars.
The fifth time, eleven cuts.
The sixth time, seven cuts
The seventh time, four cuts!
The eighth time, one knife!
Luo Changfeng began to retreat, no longer seeing or talking to outsiders. He stopped practicing swordsmanship at home and started thinking instead.
Yan Yunxiao's face kept replaying in my mind.
But he couldn't remember it no matter what, because all he could think of was an existence that couldn't be higher, and the sword intent that obscured his eyes at a glance.
It shouldn't be like this!
Luo Changfeng worked hard and kept working hard, just like he did with the fifth pair before. Even if the opponent was also gifted, even if the opponent was far better than himself, as long as he worked hard, harder than others, he could win!
But facing Yan Yunxiao.
Luo Changfeng doubted for the first time that his efforts were useless.
Despite his efforts, each challenge was worse than the last. He could only see Yan Yunxiao rising higher and higher, and could only feel the woman's terrifying sword intent more and more!
Therefore, Luo Changfeng began to doubt himself, doubt everything, and even wondered if the sword he practiced was correct.
So, Luo Changfeng began to break the knives in his collection with his own hands, one by one.
But when he looked at the knife that the fifth pair had given him before dying, he hesitated.
Because he remembered his past self, his unwavering self at that time, and the words that the former [Sword God] Diwushuang said to him, "Changfeng, help me give my sword to a young man who is as determined as you."
then
He picked up the knife again and wanted to take a different path. Since this path could not defeat the woman, he would take another path.
At that time, his good friend Xie Mi came to him and said that some people were going to challenge Yan Yunxiao.
Yan Yunxiao was very famous in the martial arts world at that time, and many people in the world began to practice swordsmanship because of Yan Yunxiao.
But many sects also suffered because of Yan Yunxiao.
Luo Changfeng wanted to find Yan Yunxiao and have another fight with him. Even if the opponent only needed one sword to defeat him, he still had to see the gap clearly and continue to try hard to catch up.
It’s just that I changed from the fifth pair to Yan Yunxiao.
You can always catch up if you try your best!
but
Luo Changfeng didn't expect that Xie Mi had deceived him. These people had a conspiracy, and their purpose was not against Yan Yunxiao, but against the emperor whom he had met several times!
So that time.
Luo Changfeng did not draw his sword, and even wanted to attack Xie Mi and the others, because Luo Changfeng knew what kind of person the emperor was.
but.
Luo Changfeng didn't have any chance to attack at all.
That day.
He saw Yan Yunxiao's true strength.
The extremely wild sword intent frightened the horse under him and made it faint.
He saw Yan Yunxiao chop down the leader of Banyun Sect, who was one of the ten great men in the world, and the supreme elder of Luofu Sect, who was also one of the ten great men in the world.
He also saw the scene where Xie Mi, the good friend who had cheated him, didn't even have a chance to escape and had his hand chopped off by a knife.
This time.
Luo Changfeng wanted to draw his sword, but...
He didn't dare to draw his knife.
The emperor saved him.
Otherwise, Yan Yunxiao would have killed him at that time, because the emperor knew that he was deceived.
The emperor let Xie Mi go because he asked Xie Mi to hand over the list of people behind the incident.
But Xie Mi's martial arts skills were wasted.
And after that
Luo Changfeng returned home.
He burned down his own [Changfengdu] and lived in seclusion forever.
The moment a swordsman sees that other swordsmen dare not draw their swords, he has actually already completely lost, and cannot lose any more.
So Luo Changfeng lived in seclusion, but he wanted to win, so he continued to work hard for more than 20 years.
He wants to win.
But I know I can’t win.
But
this time
At least the knife was used, and it was seventy-five times!
so.
Luo Changfeng smiled, a very happy smile.
This way, dying is worth it.
"Open your eyes and stop playing dead."
Just when Luo Changfeng closed his eyes, thinking bitterly that he was chopped, and finally thought that he had won, he felt someone slapping him in the face.
Luo Changfeng opened his eyes.
Then he saw Yan Yunxiao hitting him with the scabbard.
Yan Yunxiao looked at Luo Changfeng and said, "Don't act like you're going to die. I didn't kill you. And the first few moves you made are very suitable for my queen. Teach her."
Hearing
Luo Changfeng immediately cursed: "I'm not happy now, huh!?!"
When Luo Changfeng cursed to this point, his expression froze and he wanted to go see a place, but the injuries on his body prevented him from moving.
Yan Yunxiao also sensed something unusual at this time and looked towards that place.
That is.
Where Su Changan was standing.
"Let me see too!" Luo Changfeng struggled to get up, but ultimately failed.
Yan Yunxiao saw this and reached out to lift Luo Changfeng up and sit him up.
Luo Changfeng didn't say much, but immediately looked towards Su Changan, and then said in surprise: "Did this kid have an epiphany?!"
