"Especially that Xu Changqing, if it weren't for Zi Xuan, he could have become an immortal!"
"That being said, I am still 1.1 worried about that Zhao Wuyan."
"Don't forget, when we were in the Paradise, Jing Tian hugged Tang Xuejian. Something's probably going to happen here."
As the discussion below gradually subsided, Li Chengqian picked up his folding fan again and spoke.
"The Fire Ghost King released Jing Tian and his group to leave Fengdu, and Xu Changqing broke the seal of his past life to save Zi Xuan."
"What kind of love could possibly cause the descendants of Nuwa to be entangled for three lifetimes?"
"If you want to know what happens next, let's listen to the explanation next time."
After he finished speaking, everyone in the inn was dumbfounded.
No, you didn't finish this time as usual!
This will catch us off guard. Please finish telling us about Zixuan's tragic love story from her past life!
However, before anyone could complain, the door to room number four in the "Heavenly" section opened directly.
"Mr. Li, between swordsmanship and love, which is more important?"
Ximen Chuixue came out.
Netizens: There's juicy gossip going on!!!
Chapter 220 The Emergence of the Sword God Ranking: A Flower That Withers Before Blooming
Ximen Chuixue's face remained as cold as ever, but Li Chengqian could sense his inner turmoil.
Swordsmanship was his lifelong pursuit; for the sake of swordsmanship, he was willing to face death.
However, the appearance of one person caused his cold heart to waver, and his more than 20 years of perseverance was about to collapse in an instant for the sake of one person.
Anyone would be conflicted in this situation.
Li Chengqian smiled without saying a word, but the martial arts practitioners below began to whisper among themselves.
"No way, is Ximen Chuixue really troubled by love?"
"I don't believe it either, but what can I do when the facts are right in front of me?"
“Mr. Li had previously mentioned that Ximen Chuixue had a romantic relationship with the Emei Sect. At the time, I didn’t believe that Ximen Chuixue would fall in love with a woman.”
"I never expected it to actually come true, and it seems Ximen Chuixue still wants to get deeply involved. Now we'll see what his choice is."
"Besides, I feel that Ximen Chuixue's situation is similar to Xu Changqing's!"
"One is becoming an immortal, the other is the way of the sword. Do you think Mr. Li deliberately made up this plot?"
Faced with this question, the people around him rolled their eyes at him.
"Is there any need to think about it? Mr. Li's 27th statement was not a hidden secret, it's just that we haven't figured it out yet."
"That's right, stop arguing and listen to what Mr. Li has to say."
Li Chengqian looked at Ximen Chuixue with a smile.
"You shouldn't be asking me this question; you'd be better off asking yourself."
"You haven't truly let her into your heart yet, so how can you know whether she or the sword in your hand is more important?"
Upon hearing this, Ximen Chuixue frowned.
"But"
Li Chengqian interrupted him directly.
"I know what you're thinking. Love will indeed be an obstacle for you on the path of swordsmanship."
"But have you ever thought about this question? If you haven't picked it up, how can you put it down?"
"Without emotional ties, how can one talk about severing them?"
After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Ximen Chuixue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Li!"
After saying that, Ximen Chuixue turned around and went back to his room.
However, Li Chengqian seemed to still feel that he hadn't had enough, and looked at room number one of the Xuan characters and said.
“Miss Sun, the decision is in his hands, and also in yours. The outcome depends on what you do.”
Room No. 1, Xuanzi.
Sun Xiuqing clenched her fists; she understood what Mr. Li had said.
But could he really make Ximen Chuixue give up the way of the sword and the thing he had been obsessed with all his life?
Having resolved the issue of Ximen Chuixue, Li Chengqian shook his fan and laughed, "Last time, the Great Ming Sword God Ranking only mentioned the last one."
"Now let Li continue to reveal the secrets to everyone!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the inn sat up straight.
Everyone is also curious about who these sword geniuses are, that even the cold-faced sword god Ximen Chuixue can only be ranked after the top five.
"Ninth on the Great Ming Sword God Ranking: Jing Wuming!"
"Jing Wuming is the right-hand man of Shangguan Jin Hong, the leader of the Money Gang. He has three scars on his face."
"Unlike most people, Jing Wuming uses a left-handed sword."
"When one wields a sword in the martial world with one's left hand, one is bound to take an unorthodox approach, with all moves being reversed and even more ruthless and unpredictable."
"If someone were to flick their right hand to create a sword flower, that flower would first bloom and then wither."
"But Jing Wuming's swordsmanship is like a flower that withers first and then blooms. Imagine what a spectacle it would be if a flower withered before it bloomed!"
"However, when you see such swordsmanship, you certainly won't cheer for it, because you'll already be dead."
"This is Jing Wuming's swordsmanship: first wither, then bloom."
"However, Jing Wuming's greatest strength is not his swordsmanship, but his eyes."
"Those deathly gray eyes were devoid of emotion and life; he himself didn't even know why he was alive."
"This kind of swordsman is undoubtedly terrifying, but ultimately his swordsmanship is unorthodox and does not follow the great path, so he is placed ninth on the Sword God Ranking."
After listening, the wandering swordsmen in the inn kept swallowing hard.
They simply couldn't fathom what kind of bizarre swordsmanship could allow something to wither and then bloom.
Everyone was racking their brains trying to figure out how Jing Wuming would draw his sword, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't come up with a solution.
What's even more surprising is that even someone as powerful as Jing Wuming is only ranked ninth on the Sword God Ranking. How impressive must the top-ranked Sword Gods be?
Room No. 3, Tianzi.
The emergence of the Sword God Ranking boosted A Fei's spirits.
"Brother, how does my swordsmanship compare to that of Jing Wuming?"
After taking a swig of strong liquor, Li Xunhuan laughed and said, "Jing Wuming is Shangguan Jin Hong's right-hand man."
"If you were to face him at your current level, you would surely die."
Upon hearing this assessment, Afei scoffed, "Brother, you must have misread it."
"Who knows, my swordsmanship might even be superior to his?"
Faced with A-Fei's stubbornness, Li Xunhuan smiled and shook his head.
He's still just a child, but that's fine, since who isn't impetuous when they're young?
Before the crowd could quiet down, Li Chengqian continued, "Eighth on the Great Ming Sword God Ranking, Xue Yiren!"
Li Chengqian's voice forced silence into the inn.
"Xue Yiren, known in the martial arts world as the Blood-Clad Man."
"In his youth, he roamed the martial world wielding the Heavenly Clear Meteor Sword and earned the name Blood-Clad Man."
"Chivalry and vengeance, killing is as insignificant as grass."
"Even the assassin Pei Huan, who used his pair of Wuchang hooks to fight his way through the seven southern provinces, was killed by Xue Yiren on Goulu Mountain."
"As people reach middle age, their tempers are tempered and they gradually fade from the martial world, but their swordsmanship has reached a state of perfection. In the past forty years, no one has been able to withstand ten moves from them."
At this point, Li Chengqian suddenly smiled.
"It's just a pity that he was born at the wrong time. Just when he had touched the pinnacle of his swordsmanship, Xie Xiaofeng of Shenjian Villa suddenly appeared."
"Therefore, Xue Yiren was always kept in the second place in the world."
"Even without Xie Xiaofeng, Xue Yiren could still be the undisputed number one in the world for a while."
"Although it's only on the surface, it's still extremely difficult, but there are no 'what ifs' in this world."
"After comprehensive consideration, he was placed eighth on the Sword God Ranking."
After hearing this, the people in the inn were speechless for a moment.
The master of Xue Family Manor has quite a reputation in the martial arts world, and should be the envy of everyone.
But why does he become so pitiful in Mr. Li's words?
"No, I don't quite understand what Mr. Li means by 'first on the surface'!"
"cut!"
"I told you to read more books, but you wouldn't listen. The first thing you said was that you didn't count those reclusive masters."
"Take Senior Feng Qingyang for example, did you know him before?"
"But speaking of Xue Yiren, he is really a bit pitiful. It was one thing to be suppressed by Xie Xiaofeng in the past, but at least he could be the second best in the world."
"Now look at us, we're second to last."
Chapter 221 Fang Baoyu, the Sword Spirit Child, is fed by the heavens.
Hearing the words of this wandering swordsman, everyone felt somewhat bewildered.
"Brother, you've miscalculated."
"Xue Yiren is ranked eighth, how could he be second to last?"
Faced with this question, the man rolled his eyes and said, "Are you stupid?"
