The original work lavishly praises the Moonfall Sword, describing it as something almost mythical.
Su Hanjiang also became the only person besides the male lead Zheng Nansheng to possess an incredible cheat code.
As everyone knows, those with overpowered cheat codes can challenge opponents of higher levels.
Only the protagonist can take on challenges beyond their level.
If others do it, it's considered going against the will of Heaven, it's considered extremely rebellious.
Therefore, even if the original work intended to portray Su Hanjiang as an incredibly powerful villain, so powerful that he seemed virtually invincible.
However, in order not to let the main character be overshadowed, the truth of the legend was not specifically stated.
Then why is this book described as brain-dead and intellectually degrading?
Because Su Hanjiang's fate was to be poisoned to death!
So much detail was spent describing how powerful and incredibly strong Su Hanjiang was in the early stages, only to have him so hastily poisoned to death!
What kind of incredible poison could possibly cause a demon infant stage cultivator, who is almost immune to all poisons, to stumble?
Why don't you just let them fight?
Using underhanded tactics behind people's backs is truly shameful!
Is it against the principles of morality?
Are you sure it's not a different author?
Later, after unanimous condemnation from readers, Su Hanjiang's death was reluctantly changed to him sacrificing his nascent soul to save his little disciple.
This is considered giving the major villain a fair share of respect.
However, this modification is not the optimal solution.
Moreover, the Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry were originally a pair, and the mystery of the Phoenix's Cry Sword was never solved until the very end.
In other words, this setting is completely useless, and it would have been better not to mention it in the first place!
Yueyun Mountain Villa
The doctor was cleaning Zheng Nansheng's wound.
The whip marks on his back were crisscrossed, the flesh and blood were a blur, and the bone was even visible at his shoulder blades.
Zheng Ningshuang's iron whip not only had barbs, but was also coated with poison.
Although this poison is not fatal, if it is not thoroughly cleaned, it will continue to fester and cause sores, causing excruciating pain.
For the wound to heal properly, the flesh around the edges must be cut away little by little.
To inflict extreme pain on the victim, the toxin rapidly enters the bloodstream once the injured person loses consciousness.
Therefore, one can only endure the pain of having their flesh cut off while fully conscious.
Zheng Nansheng was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat. The sweat and blood mixed together on the bed, soaking a large area.
Even so, he didn't utter a sound.
One basin after another of bloody water was carried out, and Li Bing'er waited anxiously outside the door.
It was late at night when the wound was treated. Zheng Nansheng lay on the cot, his breathing becoming weak.
The mattress beneath his body was carefully replaced with a clean one. Although sandalwood incense was burning in the room, the smell of blood was still very strong.
Seeing Zheng Nansheng's weak appearance, Li Bing'er couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Zheng Nansheng said weakly, "Bing'er, don't worry about me. My wounds have been treated, and I'll be able to get up tomorrow."
Li Bing'er wiped away her tears: "Brother Nansheng, you need to take good care of your injury. You absolutely cannot participate in the competition tomorrow, please just listen to me this once, okay?"
Zheng Nansheng, his face pale, forced a smile and said, "Okay, I agree. You should go back and rest early."
Li Bing'er left with reluctance.
The next morning, all the disciples who participated in the competition had already left.
Zheng Nansheng endured the pain and got up. He went outside and found his master, Li Yueyun, rushing back from outside.
He was about to greet Li Yueyun when Li Yueyun instructed several servants to carry two boxes out in a hurry.
After Li Yueyun left, Zheng Nansheng summoned a servant for questioning.
"Do you know where the master of the manor is going so early in the morning?"
The attendant replied, "Reporting to the master, the master said he was going to the Luo family."
Zheng Nansheng understood and dismissed the servants.
Li Yueyun went to the Luo family with gifts, presumably to apologize on behalf of his ignorant apprentice.
Although Zheng Nansheng felt uncomfortable, he understood that Yueyun Manor dared not offend the Luo family.
Li Yueyun did this out of necessity.
I've caused him trouble.
Zheng Nansheng stayed in the room for half a day, still feeling suffocated.
It must be that illness weakens a person's will.
It was my fault to begin with, so what's there to feel aggrieved about?
Zheng Nansheng felt better and decided to go for a walk, just in time for lunch.
The Immortal Venerable's dining hall was packed with people. Several cultivators recognized him and came forward to express their concern.
Zheng Nansheng took some light food and sat down to eat.
There was a lot of discussion in the dining hall, naturally about Su Hanjiang's beating of Luo Qiufeng the night before.
Although the beating was not witnessed, the Luo family invited a room full of medical practitioners overnight to treat Luo Qiufeng, so he must have been seriously injured.
"That's not all! Let me tell you, Luo Qiufeng was directly knocked back a level of cultivation, and his Golden Core was shattered!"
"No wonder his arms and legs haven't been properly set. If Jin Dan were here, even broken bones could grow back."
"Hey, you were right! That leg bone was smashed to pieces, bone fragments are all inside the flesh!"
"Wow, that's brutal!"
"If you ask me, although they're both masters, Master Li is a bit inferior. I heard he not only sent over a lot of spiritual herbs overnight, but also carried over two boxes of treasures early this morning!"
"What do you know? This is called knowing how to handle people! How could Yueyun Manor afford to offend the Luo family? Do you think everyone is as fearless as Su Hanjiang? If Su Hanjiang weren't so powerful, he would have been dealt with long ago with his personality!"
Ultimately, one's strength determines one's approach to things!
Zheng Nansheng listened silently to the cultivators' discussion.
