Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

After learning that his master had resurrected, Ma Fei Ma traveled day and night and headed straight for Wushuang Gate, just to inform his second sister about this as soon as possible.

However, what he didn't know was that Su Mei had known for more than 20 years that their master was still alive...

After a brief discussion between the two, Su Mei asked Ma Feima to inform the third sword of the Seven Swords of Taixu, Jiang Wanxi, and the fifth sword, Cheng Lingshuang, of the matter first. From their conversation, it seemed that the fourth sword, Jiang Wanru, might have died from the infection of too much Honkai energy.

They knew that after the Master was resurrected, he would definitely find them one by one as soon as possible, and this has been verified. Taixu's seventh sword [Ranxiang Sword], her sword house has been covered by fire, and her life or death is unknown.

They don't want to end up like this, and in the end, they may have no choice but to fight.

During this period, Su Mei told Ma Fei Ma many times that she would not die, absolutely not, and Ma Fei Ma believed it because [Unparalleled Sword] had never made any mistakes. But in Jiang Ming's eyes... they were just short-sighted ants after all...

That night, Ma Feima took advantage of the dark bloody path to enter the desert. According to Su Mei's instructions, he searched for the fifth sword of Taixu. The night was long, and the man and the horse galloped non-stop until dawn.

Chapter 169: After years of searching for the Immortal, Mobei first encounters Zhuju Sword

Cheng Lingshuang woke up when it was still pitch black outside the window. She always woke up at this time, neither early nor late.

After washing and changing her clothes in a basin of clean water, she sat cross-legged on the bed, reciting the Sword Heart Sutra silently for two hours without being disturbed by thunder. Then, she got up and swept the floor. After the house was clean, she went to the nearby market to buy some pancakes and mutton.

If the water ran out, she had to fetch a few buckets of water from the water tank nearby. After breakfast, she sat down beside an old loom and weaved silk. In the past, she could weave a satisfactory piece of silk in just one day. After she took up the plain clothes, her progress slowed down significantly.

It would take at least a week at the latest, and at most four days.

Li Suchang was always curious about what her master would do and what kind of kung fu he would practice in his spare time after she left. The two had been together for nearly ten years, but she never expected that as soon as she left, her master would devote all his time to the somewhat old loom.

Initially, weaving had nothing to do with practicing martial arts; it was just a cheap way to make a living.

But in Cheng Lingshuang's eyes, all paths converge into one, so how could weaving and martial arts have nothing in common? Invisibly, weaving has become a means for Lingshuang to temper her swordsmanship and hone her martial arts skills.

You must know that the way of the sword encompasses everything. The sword itself is just a tool to rely on. Every move you make is a martial art. Even being very still is also a sword practice. This is [natural perfection].

And Su Chang's master, Chi Yuan's fifth disciple, [Free Sword] Cheng Lingshuang - as the saying goes: a natural talent, the world's most supreme sword.

Chi Yuan's most gifted disciple is undoubtedly the best martial artist in the world today. Why has he lived in seclusion in Mobei for so many years without making any noise?

Only a few former classmates knew about it, but they were determined not to leak a single word.

As for Cheng Lingshuang, she just recited the Sword Heart Sutra and spun silk day after day. No one knew where she came from and no one knew where she was going.

......Just like that, on the eighth day when Li Suchang went out to test the sword, Cheng Lingshuang was sitting in front of the loom when she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

..................

The sun climbed high in the sky, and Jiang Ming stopped silently reciting the Sword Heart Sutra. He walked outside and found Otto still standing there. He didn't care about it. He only cared about the result.

"How is it? What do you think?"

Otto was startled at first, but gradually calmed down when he turned around and found that it was Jiang Ming. He was surprised that the other party appeared behind him without him noticing it at all. Although he knew that the other party should have such means, he still couldn't adapt to it.

"Well, I agree to your deal."

Otto is willing to do anything for her, all for the sake of saving that person————

For this, what does hard work matter?

What's the danger?

What is time?

Eternity...what does it matter?

As long as I can make her wake up again, what does it matter if I give up everything?

"very good."

There was a hint of appreciation in Jiang Ming's tone. He then turned his head and looked at Li Suchang who was washing herself in a basin of water not far away.

"Please do me another small favor and let the child live for more than 500 years. I know your destiny can do it now."

"...Why should I help you?"

Jiang Ming had expected Otto to say this, so he took out the words he had prepared last night.

"You have seen the talent of that child. If she is allowed to fully grow up at this age, she will probably be even more powerful than the most powerful Valkyrie in your country, right?"

"That's the first point, and the second..."

Jiang Ming raised his head slightly, and his unchanging tone underwent some subtle changes.

"My inheritance can also be said to be a sacrifice. After more than 500 years, I will sacrifice myself. After another decade or so, it will naturally be handed over to a successor I favor. Before that, I may appear when you need help the most. How do you think?"

"..."

Otto fell into deep thought again. He didn't expect that the other party was so optimistic about the girl. It seemed that she was his nephew. Then could he... No, if he really did that, his fate would be exactly the same as Eagle's. Judging from what he said just now...

"——!?"

Otto suddenly had a bold idea and blurted it out.

"Have you figured out what's going to happen in the future...?"

"..."

"hehe."

In response to Otto's question, Jiang Ming just chuckled twice.

"I've said before, I've already calculated all the causes and consequences of the world, and I'm not interested in all kinds of reincarnation. Making a deal with you is just a shortcut. As for whether to do it or not, it's up to you. Anyway... I have other shortcuts."

"......"

He couldn't see through it, he couldn't see through it at all. Even though Otto had seen the human nature of millions of people, he just couldn't see through the black-robed man in front of him. He seemed like the embodiment of order, understanding everything, knowing everything - maybe... he could really help him.

Otto had no choice but to nod in agreement again, and Jiang Ming's mouth corners slightly raised under the black robe. It was enough for him to do just this much.

Even if he later discovered that the man in the black robe was still alive, it would not be a big deal. As long as he showed more strength next time, he would never dare to touch this variable.

At this moment, Li Suchang, who had finished washing up, came to Jiang Ming and was about to ask when he would go back, but suddenly she saw Otto with blond hair and green eyes standing beside her.

"Uncle Master, we... wooooa ...

Li Sushang screamed when she saw Otto for the first time. She had never seen anyone with such a strange appearance since she was a child. But then she thought again, she had heard from a storyteller that people from Rakshasa country seemed to look like this.

Children are curious about anything new, and Li Suchang has been practicing sword for fifteen years and has never been out. Seeing Otto today, she naturally became very interested. She was not afraid of strangers and asked directly.

"Um...are you a Rakshasa? What's your name? Are you a friend of my uncle?"

Faced with Su Chang's three consecutive questions, Otto, who was sweating profusely, naturally had no mood to answer her. Seeing that Otto did not answer her, she had to turn her gaze to Jiang Ming. Feeling Su Chang's strong gaze, he had to explain to her.

"This is my friend, you can just call him Otto. Just like I told you when we met, he and I came to Shenzhou together to do some work, but we accidentally got separated and I accidentally came to the Jinsha Gang. As luck would have it, my friend was also caught by the Eagle of the Jinsha Gang, haha."

Jiang Ming made himself laugh with his remarks, but his nephew believed them.

"Oh, I see."

Li Suchang nodded and turned to Otto again.

"Hello, oh...too, my name is Li Sushang, and I am also the successor of Taixu Sword Qi, and the niece of my uncle."

"...Well, it's nice to meet you."

Otto, who understood that this was not the time to focus his energy, gradually calmed down his impatience. What he had to do now was to accumulate his strength as soon as he returned to his destiny, so as to revive Kallen faster.

Then he returned to his calm and composed self again.

Su Chang was overjoyed to have made a new friend. She didn't even care about the fact that she almost died at the hands of Old Eagle last night. She turned around and looked at Jiang Ming and asked the question she wanted to ask just now again.

"By the way, Uncle Master, when are we going back to my master? I can't help but want to tell her about you..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

When Su Chang turned around, she found that Jiang Ming had tied the two best horses of the Jinsha Gang to a cart, one white horse and one brown horse. She couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this - her uncle was really decisive in doing things.

.................

"Hmph, hum hum~"

Li Sushang was lying on the car, humming a tune. She was in a very good mood.

First, he made two friends, one was the legendary Rakshasa countryman, and the other was a senior uncle who looked about the same age as him and was very fond of him.

Second, her sword test was successful. Although it was not him who killed the eagle, her uncle had said that even the two eagles were no match for her now. Could her uncle have lied to her?

The speeding carriage brought up a strong wind, blowing Su Chang's long braids like two ink-stained streams.

But this is not the case with the remaining two.

Otto seemed to have an irreconcilable hatred for the wind. Even if he had to sit on a shabby cart, he would make sure he looked neat and tidy, and his seemingly casually falling golden hair would not be messed up at all.

Jiang Ming controlled the wind around him so as to prevent it from blowing off his black robe.

With nothing to do, Li Suchang simply asked Otto some questions.

"Um...Oto, how did you get caught by that eagle?"

Otto rubbed his chin with his hand, lost in thought.

"Catch? But I remember the eagle said to me: [Everything in this place belongs to me, and everything you have is entrusted to me. Please get off the car and follow my servants. You can skip the complicated etiquette]... Isn't this an invitation?"

"...Do you have any misunderstandings about Shenzhou dialect?"

Jiang Ming couldn't help but speak out, and Li Suchang scratched his head in embarrassment and asked puzzledly.

"How can a normal person talk like that? What did he say?"

Upon hearing this, Otto imitated the sound of an eagle, and his voice was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

"This place is mine, and you are mine too. Come out and follow them. Don't play tricks."

Jiang Ming: "......"

Li Sushang: "......"

Feeling the gazes of the two, Otto had no choice but to spread his hands.

"It's not my fault. Your language is too complicated."

Li Suchang stared at the indifferent blond man with suspicion, thinking that the Rakshasa was deliberately making fun of her. Although this man looked handsome, he never followed the rules in doing things or speaking, and she couldn't figure him out at all.

How could his serious, gentle and considerate uncle have made such an unpredictable friend? And why did he come to Shenzhou?

In fact, Otto's purpose of coming here is actually the same as Jiang Ming's. It is to find the legendary Red Kite Immortal who has a long life and is immortal, and who was also the one who defeated Kallen head-on back then.

He wanted to uncover the secret of immortality, perhaps... one of them was the secret to bringing the dead back to life.

Thinking of this, he quietly turned his gaze to Jiang Ming. The man in black robe in front of him might be an old monster who had lived for at least a thousand years. The method of prolonging life must be no problem for him. Perhaps he could find the answer from him.

But unfortunately, he couldn't do it, and his intuition told him that he might never be able to do it, because his strength and foundation were simply not in the same dimension.

"Huh--?"

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves. Within sight, a man and a horse were getting closer and closer. Their direction was the same as Su Chang and the others, which meant that they were traveling the same way.

"Huh? Master actually has acquaintances?"

Jiang Ming discovered this person before Su Chang, and he couldn't help but frown. The reason why he didn't travel at night was to avoid running into this person. Unexpectedly, he still met him. Has the timeline come to an end?

Damn it, this has disrupted all his future plans... Now he can only take things one step at a time.

When Li Suchang could see the face of the person who came clearly: it was a strong man with yellow hair and beard, she suddenly had a feeling: she had not seen an outsider for ten years, but she recognized this man. Coincidentally, the big man also glanced at Li Suchang, Jiang Ming and Otto.

It was originally a casual glance, but it paused at a certain point and suddenly became as sharp as a blade.

The big man closed his eyes, but opened them again after a very brief moment.

There were sorrow, helplessness, and extreme joy flashing across his face. He raised his right hand, and there was nothing in his palm, but a sword light fell! And there was the sound of a sword ringing!

The reins of the cart broke with a sound, and the two horses kicked their front hooves, neighed incessantly, and galloped away into the distance towards the sand dunes.

The cart suddenly plunged into the sand, its back was lifted up high, and then fell heavily. Li Suchang turned quickly, using the Taixu Sword Form [Pure Lotus] to spin and land. Although Otto staggered, he did not fall down. On the other hand, Jiang Ming landed on the sand dune as if nothing had happened.

Faced with this sudden change, Li Sushang was horrified in her heart, because the move used by the man who suddenly attacked was the [Rock Breaking] move of the Taixu Sword Qi!

'Who is he?...Why does he use the Taixu sword energy?'

But there is something that is even more shocking to Su Chang.

When this man drew his sword just now, his hands were clearly empty, but he used invisible energy to transform them into a magical sword.

This... could it be the highest realm of the Five Elements of Taixu? As far as she knows, only her master has comprehended it... [Sword God]? !

Jiang Ming seemed to see Li Suchang's inner surprise. He leaned over to her ear and reminded her in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Su Shang, I think you misunderstood. That's not some sword god. It's just a trick to confuse people. If he is really a sword god, then I would have been one a long time ago."
