As the moment of impending death approached, countless images flashed through Zhou Nuo's mind.
War, famine, and ruins littered with corpses.
A thin, pale-faced boy came over, reached out his hand to her, and gave her a steamed bun.
"May I have your name?"
"I don't remember."
"This world is tough. Two people will be a little stronger. Would you like to come with me?"
The girl nodded.
"From now on, you will be my sister, and your name will be Zhou Nuo."
From then on, the boy and girl wandered from place to place.
The boy taught the girl martial arts, and the girl practiced archery diligently.
Whenever they encounter injustice, regardless of the strength of the other party, the brother and sister will lend a helping hand.
Perhaps it was because the brother and sister had done many good deeds that they were blessed. They met Zhao Huan when they were in dire straits, and they also received help from others because of their constant help to others.
Then he encountered the Jinghai Sword Master.
The brother and sister duo have finally become powerful.
Lingshan.
Qingdong City.
Yanchuan.
Changsui.
Yun Jing.
Silver Valley.
Zhao Cheng...
“Acheng…brother…” Zhou Nuo’s eyes welled up with tears, but his face showed no fear, only regret.
Clang!
As Xu Qingshan's sword drew closer, another longsword came across and deflected it.
A night breeze stirred.
A tall, upright figure appeared in front of Zhou Nuo.
Zhou Nuo stared blankly at the figure with long hair that reached his waist, and murmured, "Brother..."
Zhou Chuan turned his head so Zhou Nuo could see his profile, and said in a gentle but slightly reproachful tone, "After becoming someone's wife, even your vigilance has decreased?"
"elder brother!"
Five years had passed, and five years of longing erupted like a volcano. Zhou Nuo could no longer contain himself and hugged Zhou Chuan tightly from behind.
Zhou Chuan said, "Good sister, he bullied you, brother will help you beat him up."
Xu Qingshan said, "Zhou Chuan, it's been a long time."
Zhou Chuan patted Zhou Nuo, gesturing for her to step aside, and said, "It's been a long time. The last time was during the martial arts examination. Speaking of the martial arts examination, I lost to you back then, and you won the top prize. I wonder what will happen to our competition today?"
Xu Qingshan said, "You can't even beat me in a contest for titles, so you're even less capable of a life-or-death duel. After all, you are the gentlemanly sword of humility, while I am the unpredictable sword of death. Back then, if it were a life-or-death duel between the top three in the martial arts examination, you probably couldn't even beat Dian Chen, the third-ranked scholar."
"That's going too far."
Zhou Chuan flicked his long hair and said, "The Gentleman's Sword can also kill."
"Yeah?"
Xu Qingshan's hand trembled, and he drew his sword first.
A burst of sword energy spread out from beneath Zhou Chuan's feet, disrupting Xu Qingshan's rapid offensive rhythm. Zhou Chuan then raised his sword and tapped Xu Qingshan's longsword.
Xu Qingshan was slightly taken aback, feeling as if Zhou Chuan was hitting him with a ruler.
It's like an old teacher in a private school using a ruler to punish students who make mistakes.
very……
humiliation.
Xu Qingshan steadied himself, quickly withdrew his hand, and unleashed several sword strikes at Zhou Chuan.
Some are thorns, some are picks, and some are cuts.
The Impermanence Sword moves with wide, sweeping strokes, resembling a blade yet not quite, its sword energy sinister and malevolent, like an impermanent force seeking to claim one's life.
After Xu Qingshan became a grandmaster, the sword energy of the Impermanence Sword could be externalized. Ordinary people who were tainted by it would suffer from a prolonged illness and eventually die. He was truly being targeted by the Impermanence of the underworld.
But Xu Qingshan, with his scholarly appearance and elegant demeanor, stands in stark contrast to him.
Zhou Chuan understood Xu Qingshan's methods, and fortunately, he had also reached the Grandmaster realm. The Gentleman's Sword Qi and the Impermanent Sword Qi were one righteous and one evil, which were just right to repel each other.
This was their first encounter after both of them became grandmasters, and Zhou Chuan felt no pressure at all.
Do you know why I went to the snow-capped mountains for seclusion?
"Snow-capped mountains are pure and sacred places, clean, flawless, and like a true gentleman."
"Your insidious sword techniques cannot penetrate my body!"
Zhou Chuan moved nimbly and used his swordsmanship skillfully, blocking all of Xu Qingshan's attacks and avoiding all of his insidious sword energy.
A wise man does not contend!
Zhou Chuan unleashed the third strike of the Gentleman's Sword.
When he used this sword against Du Yucheng and Tuo Mojiu, he caused both of them to fall into a mental illusion.
The same applies to Xu Qingshan at this time.
Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment. Before him was no longer the town of Jiuzhai, but a school. He held a book in his hands, and all he could see were children looking at him expectantly.
At this point, he was no longer Wuchang Sword, but an ordinary schoolteacher.
This kind of life is pretty good.
But Xu Qingshan was already a grandmaster, and he saw through Zhou Chuan's trick with just a slight pause. He knew that if he remained immersed in the spiritual world for even a moment longer, he would probably be pierced through the body by Zhou Chuan's sword.
He concentrated his inner strength to the extreme, threw away the book, and slashed at the students in front of him with his sword!
The students fell one after another into pools of blood.
The school collapsed, and the vision of the spiritual world shattered.
Xu Qingshan's eyes were bloodshot, and the externalized sword energy gradually turned black.
Having broken free of his shackles, he now appeared to Zhou Chuan as a terrifying Grim Reaper!
"Ah! Ahhh!!!"
Painful cries came from the surrounding houses. The sinister sword energy of the Impermanent Sword had invaded their bodies, causing these nearby people to suffer an undeserved calamity.
The Impermanence Sword is a sword that kills, not saves.
Although the Gentleman's Sword is a sword of humility, it cannot save lives.
But killing can stop killing!
Zhou Chuan glared angrily at Xu Qingshan, then gathered his inner strength to its limit and thrust his sword forward again.
The fourth strike of the Gentleman's Sword.
