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

Only Lei Wujie was completely oblivious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! I never thought there would be so many monstrous geniuses in Beili alone. When will I, Lei Wujie, be able to make a name for myself?"

The group of people, who were originally in a tense atmosphere, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing these words, and tacitly stopped testing each other.

On top of the white jade platform.

Su Chen gently waved his folding fan, and waited until everyone's discussion died down before he slowly spoke:

"Next, let's review the next Sword Immortal on the list."

"Sixteenth on the Sword Immortal Ranking—Sword Swallowing Ancestor Sui Xiegu."

"As for this senior, I'm afraid most of you here have never heard of him."

"He was originally from Western Chu and had extraordinary talent. He cultivated a unique sword-swallowing secret technique, which allowed him to swallow swords with his mouth. Therefore, he was called the Sword-Eating Ancestor."

"Now over a hundred years old, he has devoured thousands of sharp swords, all of which are rare divine weapons in the world. He has bred two astonishing sword formations in his belly, and his sword energy is as vast as the ocean."

"Although his realm is only the third level of the Immortal Stage, if he activates the two sword formations hidden in his abdomen and releases the sword intent that has been condensed for a hundred years, he will be able to cross multiple realms and kill the enemy."

"In the entire land of Shenzhou, only Sui Xiegu can pull off such a trick."

"Although Sui Xiegu is not well-known, the two disciples he accepted are well-known in the Dongli martial arts world."

"His first disciple is the former Sword Emperor of Western Shu, Su Sheng, whose strength has reached the level of Martial Emperor."

"When King Xu Xiao of Northern Liang led his army across Western Shu, a hundred thousand Shu troops were completely annihilated. He alone fought to the death, defending the country's borders with his own strength and the might of his sword."

"Su Sheng's resolve is extremely strong. The ruler and his subjects should guard the country's borders, and the swordsman should go to the martial arts world!"

"Since he is a native of Western Shu, he vows to live and die with his country."

"Even after being trampled into blood by the Northern Liang cavalry, he never felt a single regret."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were no righteous wars. Many loyal and brave men sang tragic songs. Su Sheng, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu, was one of them."

As Su Chen finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the hall.

The sword-eating ancestor Sui Xiegu!

This name is completely unfamiliar to everyone.

After listening to Su Chen's story, everyone was even more shocked.

There really is such a strange person in the world. While others practice sword skills, he eats swords. In a hundred years, he swallowed more than 3,000 swords and gave birth to two sword formations in his body.

If such a shocking thing had not come from Su Chen's mouth, no one would believe it.

The two sword formations that Sui Xiegu had spent a hundred years to refine made many sword practitioners in the hall terrified and they couldn't help but feel a chill.

Once these two sword formations are activated, they can fight across several levels!

It's not just a leap of one level, but a leap of several levels!

This ability is truly amazing.

The path of cultivation for a powerful person in the Earthly Immortal Realm is like ascending to heaven. Every step forward comes at a huge price, and every breakthrough will bring about earth-shaking changes.

Generally speaking, being able to fight one level higher is already a rare talent.

But the sword-wielding ancestor Sui Xiegu can jump over several levels in a row, so you can imagine how terrifying he is.

This also means that if he uses all his strength, he is even qualified to directly kill sword immortals who are ranked higher than him.

Of course, this move is not without cost.

The two sword formations in his body are the result of his hundred years of hard sword-swallowing cultivation. Once used, all his hundred years of cultivation will be destroyed.

Therefore, this method is similar to the quasi-sword immortal's "One Sword to Enter the Earthly Immortal", both of which are the last resort to save life, and should not be used lightly unless it is a life-or-death situation.

Even so, it is enough to illustrate the terrifying nature of the sword-wielding ancestor Sui Xiegu.

Chapter 49 His men were defeated

After listening to Su Chen's explanation, many heroes in the martial arts world couldn't help but sigh.

Su Sheng, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu!

This man was a famous swordsman in his day.

As the number one swordsman in Western Shu, Su Sheng is famous and admired by countless sword practitioners.

However, what really earned him the respect of everyone was that he never retreated a single step in the battle that overthrew the country!

At that time, the 200,000-strong Northern Liang army was at the gates of the city. There were no soldiers left in Western Shu. Everyone gave up resistance and was ready to accept the fate of the country's demise.

Only Su Sheng stepped forward and used the long sword in his hand to defend the last dignity of Western Shu.

Because of Su Sheng, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu, even though Western Shu has perished, its righteousness still exists, and no one dares to be disrespectful when mentioning this person.

Listening to Su Chen's comments again today, the sentence "The king and his ministers die at the border of their country, and the swordsman dies in the martial arts world" moved everyone even more.

For a moment, everyone in the hall started talking:

"The remarkable sword-wielding ancestor Sui Xiegu, I never thought there would be such an old sword immortal in Dongli."

"Others practice swordsmanship, but he eats swords. If Mr. Su hadn't mentioned it, I really couldn't imagine that there are such weird swordsmen in the world."

"It's really amazing. This Sui Xiegu has eaten more than 3,000 famous swords in the past hundred years. It's really a waste of treasures."

"It's terrifying. Sui Xiegu has two sword formations hidden in his body. Even a fourth-level sword immortal will have to avoid him in the future."

"A hundred years of sword energy is truly astonishing. Once Sui Xiegu unleashes these two sword formations, it will surely be earth-shattering."

"I don't know anything about Sui Xiegu, but the Sword Emperor of Western Shu is indeed famous and a true man."

"I never thought that the Sword Emperor of Western Shu back then was actually Sui Xiegu. To be able to teach a Martial Emperor-level disciple, Sui Xiegu's swordsmanship must be extraordinary."

"I heard that the battle that destroyed Western Shu was extremely brutal. The Sword Emperor of Western Shu fought to the death and refused to retreat, but was ultimately trampled into pieces by the Northern Liang cavalry."

"After all, they are the Northern Liang army. With so many soldiers and horses pressing in, even the Martial Emperor will be doomed!"

"With the strength of the Sword Emperor of Western Shu, no one can stop him if he wants to escape, but he just doesn't want to leave."

"A ruler's ministers die at the gates of their country, a swordsman's death at the martial arts world. To be able to say such words, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu is worthy of being recorded in the annals of history."

"Didn't Sui Xiegu accept two disciples? Who is the other one?"

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

Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up and he smiled, "What a great saying, 'A ruler dies at the gates of his country, a swordsman dies in the martial arts world'. This saying is worth a drink."

Jiang Ting rolled her eyes at him and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Isn't it because of your Northern Liang army's advance that the Sword Emperor of Western Shu is forced to fight to the death?"

Xu Fengnian sighed and said, "The past ten years of the Spring and Autumn Period were all unjust wars. The Northern Liang army certainly wasn't particularly glorious, but this is the battlefield. The winner is king and the loser is a bandit."

"Yeah, the winner takes it all, no one can be blamed."

Old Huang murmured in agreement, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

This reaction was quite unusual. Xu Fengnian seemed to be thinking about it, and then he said loudly:

"Mr. Su just mentioned that Sui Xiegu has two disciples, one of whom is the Sword Emperor of Western Shu. I wonder who the other one is?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall responded, wanting to know the identity of Sui Xiegu's other disciple.

On the white jade stage.

Su Chen did not keep the secret and said directly:

"This second disciple of Sui Xiegu is even more famous. He is known as the Sword Nine Emperor in the martial arts world!"

"In fact, this Sword Nine Emperor was originally just an unknown blacksmith, but he was extremely talented. After forging swords for thirty years, he actually comprehended the way of the sword on his own."

"After mastering the way of the sword, the Sword Nine Emperor was determined to become a disciple and learn from him."

"By chance, he found Sui Xiegu, but Sui Xiegu thought he was too old to achieve great things and refused to accept him as his disciple."

"Finally, I was moved by Jian Jiuhuang's sincerity and taught him three sword techniques."

"The Sword Nine Emperor used these three sword techniques to create a new sword technique. It is said that it contains nine deadly moves. Therefore, people in the martial arts world call him the Sword Nine Emperor!"

"This Sword Nine Emperor is a loyal and honest person. After receiving the three sword techniques from Sui Xiegu, he respected Sui Xiegu as his master."

"He knew Sui Xiegu loved famous swords and was obsessed with them, so he traveled across mountains and rivers, all over the world, just to collect the world's precious swords for his master."

"Seeing that his master's reputation was not well-known in the martial arts world, he personally traveled to the Martial Emperor City in the East China Sea to challenge the Martial God King Xianzhi, intending to clear his master's name."

"Unfortunately, he underestimated Wang Xianzhi's true strength. Even though he used all nine sword killing moves, he was still defeated by Wang Xianzhi in the end."

"Not only did he fail to win fame for Sui Xiegu, but he also left behind a hard-earned and famous sword, Huangluo, outside Wudi City."

"If an ordinary person were defeated by Wang Xianzhi, they would probably become disheartened and dare not set foot in the East China Sea again."

"But the Sword Nine Emperor showed no fear. Even though he was defeated, he continued to fight, knowing that he would one day make a comeback."

"When that happens, he will definitely defeat Wang Xianzhi and take back the Cotinus Corydalis Sword that is stuck in Wudi City."

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.

Everyone has heard of the name of Jian Jiuhuang.

Although the Sword Emperor of Western Shu was also very powerful and his cultivation had reached the Martial Emperor realm, his power was limited to Western Shu.

The Sword Nine Emperor travels the world with a sword on his back, winning every battle and seizing the enemy's sharp blade, so he has a very high reputation in the world.

But many swordsmen in the past did not know why he was so determined to seize other people's weapons.

Now the truth is revealed——

It turns out that he was searching for the famous sword everywhere just to support his mentor Sui Xiegu!

Even though Sui Xiegu had only taught him three sword techniques back then.

This act of loyalty and righteousness made all the heroes in the room admire Jian Jiuhuang and Sui Xiegu.

Jian Jiuhuang was originally just a blacksmith. He had been forging iron and swords for thirty years, and only started learning sword skills in middle age. He was able to achieve such a reputation, which shows that he is extremely talented.

Before the Sui Dynasty, Xie Gu had a brilliant disciple named Sword Emperor of Western Shu, who later achieved the fame of Sword Emperor Nine with just three sword moves. This shows how profound the sword skills he taught were, and it cannot be explained simply by eating swords to nourish the mind.

When they heard that he dared to challenge Wang Xianzhi alone in order to help his master become famous, everyone was shocked.

Wang Xianzhi in the East Sea Wudi City is recognized as the strongest martial artist in the Dongli martial arts world.

Although he calls himself "No. 2 in the world", the position of "No. 1 in the world" on the Dongli list has been vacant for him for sixty years!
