Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

A thrust from the Unlawful, Formless, Ruthless, Unrighteous, and Fateless Sword Technique.

This sword strike is already Zen.

At a certain level, non-Zen can lead to enlightenment, and non-sword can kill in an instant.

But for Jiang Fengyue, a flower branch is a flower branch, and a flower branch can only be a flower branch. A flower branch will never be a sword in front of him.

Mr. Du's flower branch lingered between Jiang Fengyue's eyebrows; if he were to prick her, the white camellia would turn into a red hawthorn.

Jiang Fengyue didn't move an inch, nor did she blink.

Simply because he is Jiang Fengyue, the Jiang Fengyue whose sword is unparalleled in the world, he himself is the sharpest sword.

Boundless sword intent gathered around him as he gazed at Mr. Du and the flower branch in his hand.

With a "snap," the flower branch was broken.

Mr. Du let out a long sigh and said, "I have lost. There is no one in the world who is qualified to compete with you in swordsmanship, neither am I, nor is Xue Yiren."

She was clearly unaware that Xue Yiren had also already been defeated by Jiang Fengyue.

Jiang Fengyue said coldly, "If that's the case, then you can leave your daughter in the manor without worry, while I go and take Shi Tianwang's head."

Mr. Du sighed, "No, absolutely not. If I hadn't fought you, I would have been willing to let you go, even if it meant you were going to your death."

She replied sadly, "But things are different now. Someone like you shouldn't take this risk."

Jiang Fengyue asked, "Is King Shi really that terrifying?"

Mr. Du shook his head and said, "On land, even a hundred Shi Tianwangs wouldn't be enough for you to kill, but at sea, no one can be his match."

Jiang Fengyue frowned and said, "Can you really bear to send your daughter to a place like that?"

Mr. Du suddenly laughed, a bittersweet laugh, and said, "This is the fate of my daughter and me. I am the imperial envoy in the martial world, and she is a princess bestowed by the Emperor. Don't you understand?"

Jiang Fengyue said coldly, "I don't understand. I don't know what kind of princess she is. I only know that she is the daughter of a down-on-his-luck swordsman."

Mr. Du looked up at him and exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Jiang Fengyue said sternly, "Jiao Lin, aren't you coming out yet?"

Another person appeared in the corridor: a disheveled middle-aged man carrying a long, black sword, with a stubble-covered face, looking like a vagrant.

Could this man possibly have some kind of relationship with the beautiful woman at the end of the corridor?

Jiao Lin overheard every word of Jiang Fengyue's conversation with Mr. Du.

Jiao Lin recognized her as soon as Mr. Du spoke his first words.

Mr. Du, the owner of Jade Sword Manor, was his former wife, a princess bestowed by the imperial court, and his biological daughter.

Another person is missing from the corridor. Jiang Fengyue has left. He doesn't care at all what will happen to Mr. Du and Jiao Lin, or Jiao Lin and that princess. He doesn't care whether a daughter of noble birth will acknowledge a down-on-his-luck father.

Bringing Jiao Lin here might delay the princess's wedding, or it might not, but it will never affect Jiang Fengyue's determination to deal with Shi Tianwang.

Hu Tiehua and Aunt Hua were drinking in a corner of the courtyard.

Hu Tiehua was already showing signs of intoxication.

Aunt Hua seemed completely drunk, muttering, "Are we people who should be drunk destined to be drunk, and those who should die destined to die?"

Jiang Fengyue didn't know who she was talking about. Perhaps she was talking about herself, or perhaps she was talking about those who were supposed to die during the assassination of Shi Tianwang.

Jiang Fengyue shook his head, denying his own opinion, because he had already heard the sound of a zither. The source of the sound was a small building, and the person in the small building was a daughter who could not fulfill her filial duties.

She was a princess, someone who had to die. All the plans were simply to make her risk her life to fight for the life of King Shi.

Aunt Hua was starting to become confused, but she was still muttering, "Flowers bloom and wither, people gather and disperse, these are all things that cannot be helped."

Jiang Fengyue said, "Those who are meant to be together will not be separated, and those who are not meant to die will not die. I am always living out this wish."

Hu Tiehua staggered to his feet and said, "Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Fengyue said, "Old Hu, I know you've had a lot to drink, but you'd better listen to what I'm about to say."

Hu Tiehua's expression suddenly turned serious, as if the Hu Tiehua who had been walking unsteadily just moments before was a completely different person.

He said in a deep voice, "Tell me, I will listen to whatever you say."

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Old Hu, do you know that you sometimes seem particularly unreliable?"

Hu Tiehua scratched his head and said, "Really?"

Jiang Fengyue said, "Perhaps there is, perhaps there isn't, but the things I'm about to tell you are things that only you can do well, and only you will care about these things."

Hu Tiehua asked in surprise, "What is it?"

Jiang Fengyue slowly said, "If we want to deal with Shi Tianwang, we must split our forces into two groups. Old Chu and I will go and raid his lair."

Hu Tiehua asked, "What am I supposed to do?"

Jiang Fengyue said, "What you need to do is far more important than what we do."

He continued, "Before we find Shi Tianwang's lair, I want you to do everything you can to stall him."

Hu Tiehua shouted, "How can we delay? If I can't get the princess to King Shi, that damned King Shi will definitely come and kill us. Even if Mr. Du stops him, the blood of the common people along the way will flow like a river."

Jiang Fengyue understood that Shi Tianwang's power at sea was already too great, so his idea of ​​coming to land to try his luck and marry a princess was just an excuse.

Jiang Fengyue said in a deep voice, "Leave the princess in the manor for a while longer. If it comes to the point where you have no choice but to set off, create as many problems as possible on the road, and slow things down as much as possible."

Hu Tiehua touched his nose, just like Chu Liuxiang, because Chu Liuxiang always did this when he was thinking or encountering problems.

He said slowly, "Alright, I'll definitely hold off Shi Tianwang. What about the rest?"

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "All that's left is to wait for my good news."

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Hu Tiehua suddenly shouted, "You must not die at sea! If I find out that you went to your death without taking me with you, I will never let you off the hook!"

Jiang Fengyue shouted, "We will definitely not die!"

No matter what kind of enemy he encounters, Jiang Fengyue will never die; he always has the ability to overcome any obstacle.

Jiang Fengyue found Chu Liuxiang on a very high rooftop in the garden, a place Chu Liuxiang liked to stay in.

Jiang Fengyue stood right behind Chu Liuxiang.

Even without turning around, Chu Liuxiang knew that Jiang Fengyue had arrived.

He smiled and said, "Have you met Mr. Du?"

Jiang Fengyue said, "I've met you."

Chu Liuxiang asked, "She agreed to let us deal with King Shi?"

Jiang Fengyue shook her head and said, "We didn't need her consent in the first place."

Chu Liuxiang frowned and asked, "How are we going to get to the sea?"

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Have you forgotten someone?"

Chu Liuxiang asked, "Who?"

Jiang Fengyue said, "Zhang San."
