Extra Chapter: Li Yunxian, the Immortal of the World's No. 1 Swordsman

Yuzhou, Anyang City

As the New Year approaches, we no longer see lanterns hanging in every household, we no longer hear children laughing, and we no longer see the joy of the New Year.

It's only the second year, but it seems like everyone in the world has gotten used to it.

Everyone huddled in their beds, not daring to go out, let alone celebrate the festival joyfully.

In some remote villages, people would post a couplet that if a pig or a sheep is killed or injured, the whole village will share the blame.

And inside the city, although it was a festive day, there was a layer of gloom shrouding it.

You won't see such things as in remote villages. The streets are deserted, and pedestrians walk quickly with their heads down. Occasionally, a few words can be heard from a restaurant that is still open: "I heard that Suiyang has been defended."

"They say it's been secured, but is that place still inhabited? People are cannibalizing each other, so many people have died, there are ghosts crying in the middle of the night, and white paper and money are everywhere."

"Xiangji Temple said that hundreds of thousands of people gathered again. What should we do now?"

"After the rebels attack Xiangji Temple, will they come to our place?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that the Crown Prince led the army there personally. The rebels will definitely not win."

"There are hundreds of thousands of people! How can we win?"

"Well, it's called a decisive battle. If we win, the rebels will be completely defeated, but there are hundreds of thousands of people on the other side. We brothers should pack up and leave."

…

The dejected and sad words were particularly loud in the already quiet street.

only

There are always outliers.

A woman in a red dress walked into the restaurant and shouted, "Waiter, serve the wine."

When everyone heard this and looked over, they were all amazed. What a stunning female hero.

Even though she doesn't wear a sword or hang a knife, at first glance she looks like a female martial artist, but it's not certain whether she is a martial artist.

Even the shop owner who was dozing off at the counter suddenly lost his sleepiness when he saw the woman and just stared at her.

I thought I was well-informed and had seen many beautiful women, even the daughter of Lord Liu in the city, who was said to be on the Rouge List of Shuya Tower, I had seen it too, but this girl...

The woman sat on an empty table and tilted her head to look at the shopkeeper: "Speak up, am I bewitched?"

The shopkeeper reacted immediately, looked embarrassed, and hurried forward to apologize, and shouted to the waiter to bring the wine quickly.

only

Everyone in the store looked at the girl with some surprise in their eyes. After all, in this world, it was rare to see someone so beautiful and dare to come out like this.

Unless they are women from some prominent family, ordinary women who are somewhat pretty will also find ways to smear some soot on their faces before going out.

The shopkeeper glanced outside and saw that the woman was alone. He pursed his lips and said, "Young lady, these days are not peaceful. How about I fix it for you and you take it home quickly?"

As he spoke, he whispered, "All the soldiers in the city have been recruited, and even the yamen runners are few and far between. It's a mess. You'd better go home quickly and don't run around. There are people who capture girls and sell them during the day. People like you may have been targeted. No, they've been targeted. Oh, what should I do?"

The woman raised her eyes and smiled, as if bathed in spring breeze, which made people around her feel excited. They had never seen such a beautiful girl, it was truly amazing!

Some people even slipped away quietly.

The woman frowned and said, "Why haven't they come yet? Don't they know that a beauty as stunning as the moon and flowers is here?"

As she spoke, the woman glanced outside and became even more unhappy: "A bunch of people are blind, three breaths, and they still don't come!"

The shopkeeper hesitated to speak, looking at the girl, wondering if she was mentally ill.

The few diners nearby didn't know what to say. Why were they still looking forward to those people coming?

However, the woman looked at the shopkeeper's eyes and smiled softly: "Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper, but it's okay. On the contrary, if they don't come, I will be sad. After all, I am so beautiful, right? It's just that."

As he was talking, the man looked around and saw that there were only a few tables of guests on the first floor of the two-story restaurant. So he asked, "It's New Year's Day, and there are not many people here. Is the food not good?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't intend to persuade her, as he had already said some nice words. But he was thinking in his heart that he should ask the waiter to go to the government office later. After all, such a beautiful girl shouldn't be ruined.

At this moment, the shopkeeper gave a bitter smile and said, "In this world, I am lucky to still be able to open the shop. The rebels have come and many people have fled the city. This is the only place I have worked hard for my whole life and I can't bear to leave. I just want to stay here. Now I have a few tables of regular customers, I am satisfied."

The woman smiled and said confidently: "It will be fine. After all, I have been here."

The shopkeeper and others heard this and looked at the woman in silence again. This girl was pretty, but it seemed like there was something wrong with her brain.

The waiter came over with wine and food. The woman looked at the food and then looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I heard that there is a sword in Anyang City, which was left by the former Qingxi Sword Saint. It is in the home of the prefect in the city. It is said that it was prepared for his daughter. Is it true?"

The shopkeeper wanted to pull the waiter and ask him to go to the government office immediately, but before he could say anything after hearing this, the men at another table who were eager to talk to such a pretty woman spoke up: "Really! It is said that the prefect bought it at a high price. Since the prefect's daughter has been practicing swordsmanship with the great swordsman Jiang Congyun, she is only eighteen years old, but she has already reached the eighth rank. She is also a female knight on the Rouge List. I heard that she fought with Lian Xie from Tianzhi Pavilion and lost after more than ten moves! So the prefect spent a lot of money to find this sword and asked Miss Liu to come back for this purpose."

"More than that!" A young man stepped forward and said, "It is said that the great hero Jiang Congyun is here too. After all, there are many people eyeing such a good sword. I heard that there are also many demons who covet Miss Liu's beauty. Among those who came this time, there are also several young heroes. The third emperor of the mountain peak, Emperor Wushuang, and people from the Tianshi Mansion have also come. I just don't know if the second Taoist priest Xianyang or the sixth Taoist priest Yeyue is here."

The woman in red poured wine for both of them.

The two men laughed dryly, but quickly took the wine and thanked him.

The woman held up the wine bowl and said, "The name sounds impressive, but forget about the juniors. Is it that sword master Jiang Congyun who is really impressive?"

Hearing this, several people were stunned again.

The young man spoke up: "Miss, have you never heard of the name of Hero Jiang?"

The red-dressed woman smiled and said, "I have only been out on the road for two days. Besides, is it necessary to hear their names?"

It turns out that she is a new girl. No wonder she is like a fool and has a slow brain.

The man at the side explained: "In the world of swordsmanship, Jianshan is the best, Tianzhige is the second, and then they are ranked in order. And this hero Jiang Congyun is ranked in the top 30. He is the Grandmaster of the End!"

The woman in red helped pour the wine and said with a smile, "That sounds pretty impressive."

Hearing this, several people couldn't help but laugh. This girl is really a green and naive person.

However, the woman in red looked down at the wine in the glass, and saw herself in the wine. She looked so beautiful today. Then she drank it all and looked at the two people in front of her, smiling confidently: "I am better than him."

Hearing this, the young man was about to say, "You don't even have a sword."

But at this time, many people gathered at the door of the restaurant.

Several people looked up, stood up immediately, and subconsciously glanced at the girl in red.

Sure enough, these human traffickers set their sights on this person.

The shopkeeper looked at the likable girl, then looked at the leader, stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Master Niu, this girl..."

But before the shopkeeper could finish, Mr. Niu, who was staring at the woman in red, almost drooled and said, "Get lost! If you meddle in other people's business, I will tear down your store!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward and pushed the shopkeeper away, and consciously surrounded the woman in red.

The woman in red glanced at everyone's eyes and said, "You came so late, you don't have good taste. I'm so beautiful sitting here, or do you find my beauty unbelievable?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

But Niu Ye laughed out loud: "Damn it, this is the first time I've seen something like this. But, beauty, follow me? You can have whatever you want!"

The woman in red raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What do you think? If I call the sword here, will it come over?"

As she spoke, the woman lightly raised her finger.

Niu Ye and others in the restaurant were stunned. What was he talking about?

But it was at this moment!

"Who wants to take the sword?"

A loud bang shook the entire sky above Anyang City!

The sound of dogs barking could be heard, and lights were lit one by one.

"Return!"

Only to hear the loud bang again.

But it's right where the restaurant is.

The woman in red had a smile on her face. The moment she raised her finger and gently put it down, a long sword broke through the wall of the restaurant and landed right on the hilt of the sword.

The woman looked down at the sword, a hint of disappointment in her eyes: "What an ugly sword. But it can be used."

As he spoke, he stood up, and the silver coins fell on the wine table. He walked out in a red dress.

Red splashes.

No one knew when the sword was drawn, but Mr. Niu and the others fell to the ground one by one as the woman walked out.

The woman did not look back, but when she walked out of the restaurant, she raised the corners of her mouth and looked towards the street. An old man with white hair and beard and holding a sword was standing on the roof.

Everyone in the restaurant stared with wide eyes, looking at the people on the ground, and then at the woman in red holding a long sword.

The white snow fell and landed on the woman's shoulders, and countless white snowflakes began to float in the air.

"Thief, tell me your name!"

It was the same explosion of sound again!

The woman in red looked around and said, "It's New Year's Day but it doesn't feel like New Year's Day."

As he spoke, he gently raised the sword in his hand: "I'll add some."

The long sword hummed.

Red dress in tow.

The next moment, the people in the city looked up into the air in astonishment.

The heavy snow was dancing wildly, and under the moonlight, one could clearly see a figure in red with a faint red glow lingering around him. With a swing of his sword, the whole world lost its color.

But the next moment, all the people saw a white sword light flowing from bottom to top like water.

But the man in red in the air had a humming sword in his hand and then chopped it down with the sword.

The two swords collided, red sparks appeared, flashing like fireworks, and the clanging sound spread throughout Anyang City.

It was as if the haze in the sky had been swept away, just because that woman was there.

"Tell me your family name!" Although Jiang Congyun was surprised, he did not dare to be careless when looking at the woman in front of him.

Very strong!

Extremely strong!

This was how he felt about the woman before him.

The red-dressed woman raised her lips and said, "Sure enough, you are not as good as me. But this sword is not easy to use either."

Jiang Congyun frowned slightly.

But the next moment!

Jiang Congyun was stunned.

Just because I saw a bright moon suddenly appear behind the woman in red, the corners of her mouth turned up, her body turned sideways, and she swayed like dancing in front of the moon. As she turned sideways, she raised her hand, and her red sleeves swayed in the snow, and then...

A sword fell towards Jiang Congyun.

It was as bright as the moonlight, illuminating the sky. Heavy snow fell, and everyone saw the woman in red with a smile on her face in the gloomy night.

Everyone was surprised and looked at the red color inexplicably, as if they saw the color of the Chinese New Year, and the woman was the most beautiful firework of the New Year.

Jiang Congyun raised his sword to block, but just as he raised the sword, the sword that was as bright as the moonlight was already in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, all one can see is the woman in red disappearing in front of the moon.

One sword defeats the enemy.

Inside the city, many people in the martial arts world looked in horror at the Grand Master of the End who was defeated with just one move. Inside the largest mansion, several young men also looked horrified.

One of the women with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes immediately said, "Master!"

And then rush out.

The little nun followed closely.

But after taking just one step, not only the two of them looked stunned, but even the handsome swordsman who came hurriedly looked horrified.

"Anyang City isn't very interesting, but you are quite interesting."

Hongse was walking forward in the snow, his dress trailing behind him, but he was already in front of the woman with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

Face to face, less than a finger's distance away.

The young lady from the prefectural family showed a surprised expression, but with a clanging sound.

The long sword was inserted diagonally into the ground. The woman in red said, "I'll return the sword to you. It's not worthy of me, but."

The woman in red smiled sweetly and reached out to pinch Miss Liu's lips: "Your little mouth may not be as good as mine, but it's really pretty."

Miss Liu hurriedly stepped back when she heard this, her face flushed for no reason, but the woman in red was angry: "Who are you!"

Even the little nun beside him raised her hand and asked, "Donor, why are you here so late at night?"

As soon as she said this, the little nun looked surprised because the woman in red leaned forward and bent over to look at her.

The woman in red pinched her chin and looked around at the little nun: "Silly little nun, but she looks pretty cute. It's a pity that she's a little bald."

The little nun was about to frown when she felt someone touching her head.

He turned his head and saw the man in red standing on the rooftop without him noticing. He was holding a jar of wine in his hand. He took a sip and said, "Let's go. It's New Year's Day, so I'll just say hello to you."

Miss Liu drew her sword and looked at her: "Who the hell are you?"

Hearing this, Hong Yi turned around and looked at the three people, smiling: "Li Yunxian, the immortal of the world's number one sword immortal."
