I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

"Huh? What's the matter? Are you blind or mentally ill? Didn't you see the notice posted in front of Chengmen? Swords are not allowed in this city. Bring them here first and we'll keep them for you. We'll return them to you when you leave."

As he said this, he reached out to take the sword.

"Wait, don't touch."

Although he didn't speak loudly, there was a different kind of power in this sentence, which made the officer retract his hand. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and quickly reached for the sword at his waist.

"What are you doing? Are you disobeying me? Let me tell you, in this city, killing people is not illegal."

Although the words were threatening, the tone sounded like the useless howling of a stray dog.

"Nothing... I just wanted to hand the sword to you myself. Otherwise, when you reached out to touch it just now, I would have subconsciously drawn the sword and cut off your right hand."

The man spoke very calmly, as if killing someone was not a very important matter.

Then he handed the sword he had taken off to the officer in front of him.

However, the official's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. He did not dare to reach out to take the sword. He was stunned for a while before looking at the servant next to him.

"What are you looking at! Catch it!" he yelled at the two of them.

"Sir, I have two children at home..."

"I have an elderly mother at home waiting for me to support her..."

The two men immediately spoke to the officer with sad faces, but they did not dare to look at the ragged guy.

"You...you...are such good-for-nothings!" the officer cursed them angrily. He looked back at him and his sword, hesitated, and said, "Never mind...you're lucky. I'm in a good mood today...you can...let's go!"

"Thank you." He said this emotionlessly, someone might have been mocking him, put away his sword, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait...wait...wait, may I ask your name, sir?"

The officer asked nervously.

"People who have traveled the world often forget their own names, but they must not forget their surnames. It's okay to tell you my surname."

"Ah, just the last name will do, so I can report back when I get back." The officer said with a smile.

"My last name is Yi, the Yi of Yiren."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, leaving behind three people sweating profusely.

"Did you hear that? That guy's surname is Yi!" said a servant in a trembling voice.

"Ah... He's the swordsman? No wonder his eyes are so scary..."

"What are you looking at? Luckily I'm smart. You two are cowards. You didn't even dare to fart when you saw that guy!"

The officer seemed to have recovered from his fear and immediately returned to his original arrogant attitude, teaching the two men a lesson.

"Yes, yes, the master is right."

"We are useless, sir. We didn't ask for the sword...what should we do?"

"What should we do? Of course we should report to the city lord first!"

As he spoke, the officer began to walk towards another place. The two servants looked at each other and immediately followed him.

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

"City Lord, just as you expected, that person has appeared."

A big man in black armor said to the middle-aged man who was drinking with the entertainer.

The big man in black armor is named Li Luo. He is the deadpool trained by the city lord since he was a child. He is powerful and proficient in various skills, but he is especially accomplished in swordsmanship and has comprehended his own set of swordsmanship.

The man smiled slightly upon hearing the news, hugged the entertainer tighter, and drank the wine he had just filled in one gulp. Then he couldn't help but burst into laughter, a laughter that was like the cry of a wild animal, hoarse and crazy.

There was a look of ambition in his eyes.

He is the mayor of this city, named Kesli. There seems to be some conspiracy behind the issuance of the sword ban order.

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

"What are you doing? Do you know that I am an official sent by the imperial court? Let me go!"

In the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, a beautiful woman with long black hair was being dragged into the cell by two big men.

"You said you were a court official. Do you have any evidence?"

One of them asked, but his tone was mocking and teasing.

"Of course I do! I have a specially issued investigation warrant and execution medal." The woman seemed unaware of the other party's malicious intent and explained excitedly.

"Oh, you are so arrogant, even talking about the execution gold medal. Where is it?" another person asked with a mocking smile.

"Well..." The woman's expression became a little embarrassed, and her face flushed. "Well... I originally had it with me... but it disappeared when I woke up today... Just trust me this once!"

"That won't do. We have to consider the city lord's safety, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, you just said you had it with you... Maybe you didn't look carefully enough? Why don't we help you look for it?"

As he said this, he showed a lewd expression.

"Well... there's no need to trouble you two, just go and get busy, haha..." She seemed to realize that something was wrong and began to persuade them in vain.

"Hey, don't be so reserved. We are happy to help."

"That's it."

As they spoke, the two men began to throw the tied-up woman to the ground.

"Ahhh, help!"

"Stop shouting! No one will save you if you shout."

"Hey, don't say that, it's more exciting when you scream, right?" "Haha, big brother is still the best." "Nonsense, otherwise how can I be your big brother."

After saying that, the two men turned their gaze to the woman whose face already had scars.

"You guys are such beasts! You actually want three of you to come together?!" The woman seemed to have given up resistance and made a laughable complaint.

"Brother, did we scare her silly?"

"That's right, where did the third person come from?"

"It's right behind you!" the woman said excitedly.

"Behind?" The two looked back together after hearing this.

"Yo, go to sleep."

The man surnamed Yi quickly knocked the two men unconscious with the hilt of his sword.

"Ah, are you guys having a fight? Although it's better for one person to come than three, I still dislike this kind of thing... After all, we don't have any feelings for each other, and if we do something like this without feelings, no one will be happy, right? So can you be a little gentler... Ah, don't come over here..."

"These two things are yours, right? I just heard them. Where are the investigation order and the execution gold medal?" He took out the two things from his chest.

"Ahh, it's mine, where did you find it?"

Seeing these two things, my previous wariness disappeared.

"Here it is. It seems that this is something planned by the city lord." The man surnamed Yi said as he moved a little closer to her. He suddenly drew his sword, and then along with the sound of the sword being sheathed, the ropes that tied the woman broke at once.

"Wow, that's amazing." The woman exclaimed and quickly stood up. "Thank you. When I complete the task, I will help you apply for an honorary title." As she spoke, she took the two things from the man surnamed Yi.

"That's not necessary." The man surnamed Yi said and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait, we haven't told each other our names yet. I'm Ling Chengshen, what's yours?"

The man surnamed Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Sheji, my surname is She and my name is Ji."

"Well, thank you, Sheji."

"No..." Before he could finish his words, Yi Sheji seemed to have noticed something and immediately pounced on Ling Chengcan, pressing her under him.

"Ahhhhh, although we already know each other, now is not the time..." Her face was flushed and she spoke to Sheji extremely nervously, her eyes closed for some reason.

"Don't talk..." He covered her mouth with his hand.

"Hmm..." She was still struggling when she suddenly discovered a deep knife mark on the ground where she had just stood.

"The enemy is upstairs..." Sheji whispered to her, "They can judge our position by the sound of our talking, and the attack is so powerful..." Before he finished speaking, he pulled Ayanogi to the side.

"Snap!" Along with the sound and smoke, knife marks appeared on the ground again.

"He's coming..." Yi Sheji muttered softly, "Let's go separately."

"Hmm." She nodded.

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

As expected, before Yi Sheji had taken a few steps, he was blocked by a big man in black armor.

"Is this the Yi Sheji, known as the [Sword Master]? I've long heard of your name. I'm Li Luo, a guard serving as the Lord of Kesili. Although the Lord ordered me to kill you and seize your sword immediately, it seems I'll have to work harder now."

"If you want a sword, you can take it..."

Yi Sheji's eyes suddenly became sharp, "But, it seems that your city lord's intention is not just about my sword."

"It's not good to know too much..."

Li Luo drew out the two swords on his back as he spoke.

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

Smoke and dust were flying, and in the smoke and dust, there were two figures, one standing and one kneeling.

"Why... You clearly have nothing to protect... Why are you more determined than me, who has such a strong belief..."

"Because you haven't paid attention to yourself."

The smoke and dust cleared, and Li Kuiyi stood up.

"All you have to protect are the city lord's things, but you don't even consider your own things."

"Because my life belongs to the city lord. Nothing in this world belongs to me, not even myself."

"That's why you can't beat me." Yi Sheji showed a kind smile on his face, "The sword art that I love belongs to me."

"Hehe... you are lying... If it weren't for your sword, you would never have been able to beat me..." Li Luo shouted loudly at Yi Sheji's departing back, full of sadness and unwillingness.

Yi Sheji shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

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

"Hi... We meet again... Um," Ling Chengchan said shyly, "I'm sorry to bother you again..."

"It's okay." Yi Sheji answered calmly, looking at her who was tied to a pillar with a knife on her neck.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that, did you, Yi Sheji?" The city lord slowly walked down from the building next to him with a smug smile on his face.

The hall here is filled with various swords that seem to have been confiscated.

"It seems you haven't returned the sword to anyone."

Yi Sheji said to Kesli.

"Yes... Actually, all of this is because of you... To be more precise, it's because of your sword! The spiritual sword that controls the wind!"

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, he kept coughing. After a while, he continued, "With this sword, you can control the wind blades to do many things! Even using it for assassination is a piece of cake. So, give me your sword, and I can spare your life and that guy's life. How about it?"

He still had that scary smile on his face.

"The country! We can't give it to him! He'll use this magic sword to assassinate many important people!"

"I'll give it to you, take it."

Yi Sheji said as he threw the sword over.

"Hahahaha." The moment he caught the sword, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Right now! The whole world is mine! The invisible wind blade can assassinate anyone who opposes me, even the emperor..."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to Yi Sheji and Ling Chengcan.

"I'll use you as training..." He said with a cruel look in his eyes.

"Hey! Didn't you say you would let us go?" Ling Chengcan shouted loudly.

"So what if I lied to you!" He had already drawn his sword as he spoke. Seeing Yi Sheji pick up an ordinary sword from the ground, he couldn't help laughing twice and waved the sword.

However, nothing happened.

"How could this happen!?" He was a little bit unbelievable. "Isn't this a sword that can control the wind..."

Before he finished speaking, Yi Sheji's aura had obviously changed. It seemed as if there was a whirlwind surrounding his body, and his hair was fluttering in the wind.
