"Screw that! Just say what you want to say. What kind of person are you, beating around the bush?"
Duan Lang didn't tolerate Xiao Sanxiao's bad habit from the start, and the evil aura between his brows intensified, making him increasingly irritable.
"I agree. Your hesitation and stammering, though you managed to withstand two of our attacks, is far too simplistic of you to think you can act as a persuader based on that alone."
Sword Saint, seeing that Duan Lang wouldn't give him face and not wanting to lose face himself, also refused Xiao Sanxiao's advice.
Trying to mediate a fight is actually quite difficult.
Either you have a good relationship with both sides in the conflict, and you can use that relationship to persuade one side to back down, while the other side is unhappy and you end up fighting two against one.
Either you need to have the strength to overwhelm both sides in the conflict and directly stop the dispute by force.
Xiao Sanxiao was originally confident that his martial arts skills could subdue the two, but after witnessing the battle between Duan Lang and the Sword Saint, he was no longer so sure.
As a result, his attempt to mediate the fight backfired, making him the target of both of them and putting him in a difficult position.
'What kind of extraordinary encounter did these two get that suddenly made them so troublesome? Should I tell them the truth?'
Xiao Sanxiao wanted to curse, and although he wanted to hide his identity, he knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the two people in front of him would probably turn on him on the spot.
Whether these two acknowledge the Millennial Great Calamity or not is another matter, but he himself has already been placed in the open.
Why is this Millennial Great Calamity occurring so many years earlier than expected? There's absolutely no clue. If the person in charge of the game on the opposing side is exposed like this, how will things proceed?
"Gentlemen, I'm doing this for your own good, for the sake of all living beings. Please don't fight anymore." Xiao Sanxiao tried to brush it off with a laugh.
"Spit it out if you have something to say, or get lost. If you keep chattering, we'll take care of you all at once." Duan Lang glared angrily, sword in hand.
The Sword Saint beside him nodded in agreement, "My matter with the Duan Gang Leader can be settled later. As for you, whose identity is shrouded in mystery, if you don't explain yourself clearly, we'd better deal with you first."
At this point, Xiao Sanxiao's face turned completely sour.
"Gentlemen, I really can't reveal my identity here. If you really want to know, let's go somewhere else."
For the sake of all living beings and for the sake of righteousness, Xiao Sanxiao still intends to put on a smiling face once more.
"Enough with the nonsense, take this!"
Duan Lang made the first move. Compared to the Sword Saint, this mysterious person who had withstood several of their attacks was more daunting to him.
Every move is a killing blow!
Evil Light Slash!
Sword Twenty-Four - Intent Swords Like a Forest!
Both experts were determined to kill the evasive Xiao Sanxiao and attacked with all their might.
"Sigh! This is going too far. We might as well fight it out!"
Xiao Sanxiao activated the Four Greats of Chaos, drawing upon the power of thunder, and his body crackled with lightning as he faced the two.
In an instant, the entire Peerless City was filled with flying sword energy and thunderous roars, resembling the scene of the end of the world.
The onlookers only then realized they needed to escape, but only a few managed to get away.
The clash between three unparalleled masters was no joke; half an hour later, Peerless City had been razed to the ground.
As for the outcome of the three masters' battle, no one knows. All that is known is that from this day on, the conflict between the Tianxia Society and Peerless City was completely intensified, and the two sides fought almost every time they met.
The mysterious swordsman who once advised people is said to have fled after being wounded.
The following spring, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains martial arts world, Dongying launched a formal invasion with its own wolfish ambitions.
On the shore of the East Sea, several warships were anchored in the deep waters, followed by small boats towing cages covered with burlap sacks, which were then transported to the shores of the Central Plains.
Once ashore, the Dongying on the ship placed the cage on the shore and rowed away, allowing a skilled swordsman to break the cage from a distance using sword energy.
The creature in the cage, once again exposed to the light of day, immediately began to hiss and struggle.
The rotting flesh and the screams, though still resembling a human form, clearly indicated that it was no longer human.
"Haha, the Palace Master's Blood Corpse has been sent ashore. Now it's time for those Central Plains people to taste our power."
The Dongying samurai on the ship cheered and jumped for joy, while the Blood Corpse on the shore, realizing they couldn't reach the Dongying in the sea, instinctively began to advance towards the coastline.
These bio-engineered weapons from other worlds have an instinct to attack all living things.
Their essence is transmission and infection.
"Okay, once we see this wave has gone far away, we'll go to the next coastline and send the next wave up as well."
"It is said that martial arts practitioners in the Central Plains are busy vying for the position of martial arts alliance leader, and are fighting fiercely."
"Let's take this opportunity to send the Blood Corpse up. When they get their attention, these Blood Corpse will teach them a good lesson."
After the leading Dongying samurai finished speaking, he returned to the warship and continued to send these so-called Blood Corpse, which were actually modified biological weapons, to the Central Plains.
Because Jue Wushen Xu Xiao's assistance to him wasn't in enhancing his power, but rather in modifying him with various rare items.
For example, gene-enhancing drugs that can strengthen the body, and biochemical drugs that can infect living people, can only be used to their fullest potential by a ruthless and ambitious leader who is single-minded in his pursuit of power and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Xu Xiao also used this powerful figure to test whether the entity behind the scenes would intervene after the plot of Wind and Cloud had been altered and riddled with holes.
If so, who would make the move?
Nüwa? Or Mahavairocana?
In the north of the Central Plains, a man dressed in white and wielding a strange longsword was suddenly squeezed out of a space.
Upon seeing himself back in the Wind and Cloud World, the man couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"I'm out! I'm finally out!"
" Dongying! Jue Wushen! Di Shitian! I, Jian Chen, have returned, and this time I will make you pay!"
The man was Wuming than Jian Chen, whom Wuming had sent into the Sword Realm. At that time, in order to save his disciple's life and give him a better future, Wuming did his best to open the passage to the Sword Realm and send him in.
Today, Jian Chen has undergone a complete transformation in the Sword Realm, and has even managed to break out of it all on his own.
But now, the clarity in Jian Chen's eyes has vanished, replaced by a frenzied demonic intent, clearly contradicting Wuming's original intentions.
In addition, the strange longsword in his hand was clearly not of any high quality, and there was also a will influencing him.
The Demon Chief is a spirit-like creature similar to those in Blade & Soul, but it leans towards absolute evil.
During Jian Chen's journey in the Sword Realm, it encountered him and then led Jian Chen all the way to the Demonic Path. It not only taught Jian Chen the incomparably powerful Twelve Swords of Xuanyin, but also attached itself to the Peerless Demon Sword, and together they returned to the Human Realm.
At this moment, this once-righteous and brilliant swordsman has finally embarked on a different path.
