Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

"Rumor has it that twenty years ago, the strongest master of the Angry Dragon Gang, Lang Fanyun, entered the capital with a sword and killed Hong Xuanfo, a master on the blacklist at the time."

"That battle catapulted him to fame, landing him on the Black List. The name 'Covering Rain Sword' Lang Fanyun also became resounding throughout the martial arts world."

"But since then, Lang Fanyun has never appeared in the martial arts world again. I wonder why?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Although Lu Xiaofeng's tone seemed to be asking, it was obvious that he was already 70% sure.

Because the Sword God List number one, Lang Fanyun, whom Su Chen mentioned, created his sword technique inspired by the waves of Dongting Lake; and Fu Yu Jian Lang Fanyun is also the top figure of the Nu Jiao Gang, and also comes from Dongting Lake.

Both are closely related to Dongting Lake.

Although there are countless people with the same name in the world, such a coincidence is almost impossible to happen.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that this legendary land sword immortal Lang Fanyun is the supreme elder of the Nujiao Gang back then!

If this is true, then everyone will be familiar with it.

Because Lang Fanyun is not only the strongest man in the Nujiao Gang, but also the only swordsman on the blacklist.

Twenty years ago, he entered the capital with a long sword on his back, killed the Red Xuan Buddha with one sword, and became famous throughout the world.

At that time, Jiang Feng's family was tragically wiped out, and Yan Nantian disappeared after a battle with Yao Yue.

The position of "No. 1 Sword God" in the Ming Dynasty has been vacant since then.

At that time, there were three swordsmen who were most likely to inherit this title:

The first is Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City who has long been famous in the South China Sea;

The second is Xie Xiaofeng, the third young master of Shenjian Villa who became famous at a young age;

The third is Lang Fanyun, the "Fuyu Sword", who is one of the top ten masters on the blacklist.

These three swordsmen were the most popular swordsman prodigies of the time. Everyone was watching and looking forward to a peak showdown between them.

However, the subsequent developments were unexpected.

Lang Fanyun has never appeared since the battle in which he killed Hong Xuan Buddha.

Xie Xiaofeng and Ye Gucheng had a decisive battle on the shores of the North Sea. In the end, Xie Xiaofeng was more skilled and broke Ye Gucheng's unique skill "Flying Fairy from the Sky".

From then on, the title of "No. 1 Sword God" fell on Xie Xiaofeng.

Many people expressed regret at the time, believing that Lang Fanyun at least had the ability to compete.

But the changes in the world are ruthless.

As time went by, Xie Xiaofeng's reputation grew, and gradually no one mentioned the name "Lang Fanyun" anymore.

Now, after being reminded by Lu Xiaofeng, everyone remembered this long-forgotten sword legend.

Chapter 34: Sweeping Across Hundred Thousand Imperial Guards

Su Chen took a sip of tea, and faced the inquiring gazes of the crowd, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled faintly:

"Lu Xiaofeng is still Lu Xiaofeng."

"This sword master Lang Fanyun, who ranks first on the Sword God Ranking, is none other than the Grand Elder worshipped by the Angry Dragon Gang for many years."

"Although his fame is far less than that of legendary figures such as Ximen Chuixue and Xie Xiaofeng, he is not a little-known character like Yan Shisan."

"Anyone familiar with the underworld of the Ming Dynasty should know that there was once a 'blacklist' circulating in the underworld, which listed the ten most powerful underworld figures of the time."

"Everyone who makes it onto this list is a ruthless master at the Grandmaster level or above."

"Among these people, the most sinister, vicious, and notorious one is undoubtedly the Red Xuan Buddha."

"This man acts without scruples, yet his martial arts skills are unrivaled, causing widespread resentment from the world."

"The then Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai, Yan Jing'an, personally visited Lang Fanyun for this purpose, hoping that he would take action to eliminate the Red Xuan Buddha."

"So Lang Fanyun, holding his Fuyu Sword, traveled alone to the capital. With just ten moves, he killed Hong Xuan Buddha. From then on, he was listed on the Black List and became famous."

"It was during this trip to the capital that Lang Fanyun met the love of his life—Ji Xixi, known as the most talented woman in the martial arts world."

"It's a pity that this world-shaking woman was favored by the then Ming Emperor, who wanted to take her as his concubine."

"When Lang Fanyun learned of this, he refused to back down and immediately took Ji Xixi away from the capital."

"When this matter was reported back to the palace, the emperor was furious and immediately dispatched Ghost King Xu Ruowu and a large number of East Factory experts to intercept and kill him."

"That year was exactly twenty years ago."

"The Dragon Scale Bloodshed Case broke out, and Bai Yujing defeated the Earth Immortal with one sword, sweeping away 100,000 imperial guards."

"Lang Fanyun, holding the future imperial concubine in his arms, broke through the encirclement of the Ghost King and the East Factory masters while chatting and laughing, and escaped safely."

"These two incidents were the greatest humiliation the Ming imperial family had ever seen, and therefore the news was kept secret."

"After returning to the Angry Dragon Gang, Lang Fanyun married Ji Xixi. They loved each other deeply and lived a simple and happy life, no longer involved in the underworld."

"However, things didn't go as planned. Not long after, Ji Xixi was poisoned to death by a traitor within the Angry Dragon Gang."

"Lang Fanyun fell into grief from then on, and drank all day to drown his sorrows."

"But he was ultimately a gifted swordsman. He didn't give up. Instead, he gained enlightenment through love and gained a deeper understanding of life and death."

"Only one who can excel with love can be extremely powerful with the sword!"

"He transformed his deep affection for Ji Xixi into sword intent, controlling the sword with his affection, and ultimately achieving enlightenment through the sword."

"That day, the Fuyu Sword Technique reached its peak again, and Lang Fanyun finally entered the realm of a land-based sword immortal."

……

As Su Chen finished speaking, the hall suddenly became boiling.

It’s too shocking!

Everyone originally thought that Lang Fanyun had retired to the mountains after killing Hong Xuan Buddha.

I didn't expect there was such a shocking secret behind it.

Just as Bai Yujing defeated the earthly immortal with one sword and swept through the imperial guards, Lang Fanyun was also carrying the future imperial concubine Ji Xixi, breaking out of the siege and leaving in a leisurely manner.

It can be said that Bai Yujing and Lang Fanyun, who were ranked first and second on the Sword God List at that time, both made the Ming Dynasty royal family lose face.

These secrets have never been seen in rumors.

Today, Su Chen revealed them one by one, and all the heroes in the room applauded.

Recalling the time when Bai Yujing broke through the dust with a sword and landed in the realm of earthly immortals, and Lang Fanyun fled to the capital with his beautiful wife with unparalleled grace, everyone's heart was filled with emotion.

This is the world of martial arts in their minds!

What about the laws and regulations of the king, what about the majesty of the emperor? If they are pushed to the limit, I can still destroy your 100,000 imperial guards and snatch away any woman the emperor likes.

In an instant, everyone in the hall started talking again:

"It turns out that Lang Fanyun came to the capital to kill Hong Xuan Buddha because of Yan Jing'an's request. Now the truth has finally been revealed."

"I was fortunate enough to witness that battle in person. Hong Xuan Buddha was no match for Lang Fanyun. He was slain by his sword in less than ten moves."

"Everyone who experienced that era knows that Lang Fanyun's reputation was extremely high back then, almost on par with Ye Gucheng and Xie Xiaofeng."

"Yes, if I remember correctly, Lang Fanyun, Ye Gucheng, and Xie Xiaofeng were once hailed as the three rising stars of swordsmanship."

"Who would have thought that among the three rising stars of the sword art back then, the strongest one would be Fuyu Jianlang Fanyun?"

"Twenty years ago, Ji Xixi was indeed known as the most talented woman in the martial arts world, but she suddenly disappeared. Unexpectedly, she married Lang Fanyun."

"This Lang Fanyun is truly courageous. He even dared to touch someone favored by the Emperor, and even carried him through the encirclement and fought his way out."

"This is the kind of hero I admire in my heart, free and unfettered, even the imperial laws cannot restrain him."

"Shen Lang, Bai Yujing, and Lang Fanyun, these three are worthy of being the top three on the Ming Dynasty Sword God Ranking. They have all made earth-shaking achievements."

"Shen Lang created a new pattern in the martial arts world, Bai Yujing swept through 100,000 imperial guards with one sword, and Lang Fanyun even dared to steal the emperor's love. These are the three great sword gods of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I dare to assert here that with Lang Fanyun's ability, even if he is not the best swordsman in the world, he must be among the best!"

……

The first box on the west side of the third floor.

Old Huang said excitedly, "What a Lang Fanyun! I never thought that since we last met, he has already reached the realm of a land-based sword immortal."

Xu Fengnian asked in surprise, "You mentioned before that you met a swordsman in the Ming Dynasty. Was that Lang Fanyun?"

Old Huang nodded and grinned, "Back then, when I was traveling in Daming, I heard that the Dongting Lake Angry Dragon Gang had a magical weapon, the Covering Rain Sword, so I wanted to go and see it. I ended up running into Lang Fanyun, who hadn't yet reached the realm of Sword Immortal at that time."

Xu Fengnian stared at Lao Huang suspiciously, knowing that this guy was always very shrewd and must have many secrets that he had not revealed.

Jiang Ting, who was beside her, was cracking some melon seeds when she said casually, "Lang Fanyun is the Supreme Elder of the Angry Dragon Clan. He's been in seclusion for years. How could he be so easily seen by others?"

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Yup!

With Lang Fanyun's status and position, it is not easy to meet him.

This is like an ordinary person coming to the northern border and wanting to meet the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao, but he may not even be able to enter the palace gate.

Unless - this person himself is not simple.

"Old Huang, I was right. You are probably a hidden master!"

Xu Fengnian said with great certainty.

Old Huang didn't deny it this time. He just smiled and said, "Young Master, do you want to learn a few moves from me? The world is not peaceful these days. You won't suffer any loss if you practice martial arts, and you won't be fooled if you practice martial arts."

Old Huang had said this countless times when the two of them were traveling around the world.

Xu Fengnian's ears were almost callused from listening, but he still waved his hands as usual. He really had no interest in learning martial arts.
