Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"He eventually died of exhaustion on the city wall."

"However, his body was never found. Some people said that they saw his body disappear. Perhaps he ascended to heaven. Or perhaps he was picked up and taken away by someone, or maybe he turned into ashes in the fire."

"As a peerless master, it shouldn't be difficult for him to return to dust before he dies."

Someone in the audience started to make a noise: "Fortunately, there is no body left, otherwise, he would have been torn into pieces by five horses for such behavior."

"How could it be so?" Someone immediately retorted, "Although he set fire to the city, he did not harm the lives of the civilians. If he wanted to destroy Gelu City, who could stop him? People in the martial arts world regard him as a demon, but I think it is absurd."

There are many theories about the battle to seize Lucheng, but there are even more doubts.

Although many parties have agreed that the man is a big villain, they still cannot stop the spread of rumors.

After all, so many martial arts masters have joined forces, and even people from the imperial court are involved. When they join forces to deal with one person, anyone can see that there is something wrong.

Besides, there is no such powerful demon in the world. Even if there is, why has this demon always been unknown in the past? What kind of demon is he if he has never done anything evil?

Snapped!

The storyteller slammed the gavel and continued, "Speaking of the man in green, I heard that he left behind a last word."

"What is that?" Someone in the martial arts world asked, "Is it some secret martial arts manual or unparalleled martial arts skill?"

"Not really, just four characters."

The storyteller recited: "See you in the next life!"

Soon it was closing time at the restaurant.

Two women wearing veils on their heads walked along the long, dark and deserted street.

"I have to go back. There are too many things I need to deal with at Phoenix Tower."

"I know."

"You really don't plan to go back with me?" Huang Yanxia asked, "You can change your identity and live down the mountain."

"Phoenix Tower has been infiltrated and riddled with holes. As long as I go back, it is only a matter of time before my identity is exposed and I am surrounded and killed." Huang Qiyun looked at the moon calmly: "When my identity is exposed, how will you deal with it? Do you want to protect me or Phoenix Tower?"

"..."

"I don't want to embarrass you. I don't want to go through that again." Huang Qiyun looked at the moonlight and whispered, "I miss you so much, don't forget it."

"After I leave, don't do anything stupid, and don't rush to see him just because of those four words." Huang Yanxia said seriously.

"Am I so stupid?" Huang Qiyun sneered lightly: "I know those four words were deliberately released. They wanted to use this incident to make me die... After all, my husband couldn't have left these four words at the end. He left me other words."

Huang Yanxia asked: "What is it?"

"He told me not to be too anxious to see him."

Whenever Huang Qiyun mentioned him, her voice would always become softer unconsciously.

Huang Yanxia looked at her sister and always felt that she had become very mature and also very distant. She always looked at such a distant place but was not in a hurry, thinking that one day she would get there and see the person she wanted to see.

Shaking her head and discarding other thoughts, she asked, "Where are you going next?"

"I plan to live in Jiangnan permanently and find a beautiful place to live in seclusion. If I find a place I like, I will write to you."

The two sisters separated at the city gate.

Huang Yanxia couldn't bear to leave in the end, and she looked back; but Huang Qiyun was more determined than her sister, she just rode forward on her horse until her back merged into the bright moonlight, and she never looked back.

……

She went to the south of the Yangtze River and Qiantang, and found a good place. She built a house and a courtyard, planted many elm trees nearby, and named it "Qiyuxuan".

For the first ten years, she lived in secrecy, unnoticed.

In the next twenty years, she gradually gained some fame. She stopped killing people and instead began to study medicine, becoming a well-known doctor.

In the following decades, her fame gradually spread to all the states of Da Xia. Rumor had it that there lived a stunningly beautiful medical genius here. Many troublesome people came to this place, some to see a doctor, some to propose marriage. Countless people came here just to win a charming smile from this icy beauty, but no one had ever seen her smile again.

There are only occasional rumors that there is a small grave in Qiyuxuan and she has long been a widow.

A hundred years later...

Life is like the tide, spring goes and autumn comes.

Phoenix TV also welcomed a visitor one day.

She walked into the mountain gate with ease and familiarity. Because of her gentle temperament and peaceful gaze, no one from the surrounding disciples even tried to stop her. They just looked at her curiously.

The Phoenix Terrace, which has long been the world's number one sect, now has more than a thousand disciples, so it is normal that many people do not know it.

The sword master who is the leader of Fenghuangtai is already one of the top masters in the martial arts world, along with Gelucheng.

Ten years ago, the Lord of Phoenix Terrace, who had been the champion swordsman for ninety years, defeated Wu Xian personally and ended his martial arts legend.

A Jiangnan woman in a plain white dress found the man she was going to meet in front of a clear lake in the mountains.

It's not that they haven't seen each other for a long time, but they meet here once a year.

But every time we meet, we feel more unfamiliar.

Huang Yanxia looked at her younger sister who was as young as she was back then, and asked softly, "Have you really decided?"

"Well, it's decided." Huang Qiyun nodded gently: "I have walked too far, and I am about to forget what he looks like, so... I don't want to go forward."

"Why? Isn't the world good? Even if you have seen enough of the scenery in Jiangnan, there are still many other places..."

"Jiangnan is very nice and prosperous, with long streets, lakes, misty rain, poetry, wine, and the atmosphere of life."

"It's a great place, just like the scenery he showed me before, I never get tired of it after all these years."

“It’s just, it’s so good.”

"It's so good that I almost forget my original intention."

Huang Yanxia's eyes were filled with disappointment: "It took you a hundred years to let it go, but now you want to pick it up again?"

"Sister..." Huang Qiyun's eyes were filled with clear water: "I have never let it go."

"For so many years, I just listened to him and followed his wishes."

“But I never let go.”

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t regret it.”

Qiu Shui stared at the fingerprints on her palm. The gentle aura on her body faded away like a cicada's skin being peeled off, and the smile on her face was angry and mournful.

"There is not a single moment that I don't hate myself, you, and him."

"I hate myself for not staying; I hate you for not keeping me to die together; I hate him for giving me hope but abandoning me!"

For her, the day more terrifying than death is the end of fate. She is left alone in the world, lonely and helpless, and cannot see you no matter how much she misses you.

"I once thought that if I stayed with him, when he was about to die, I would stab the dagger into his heart with my own hands, so that he would remember that the person who killed him was not someone else, but me."

"Perhaps in that case, he will remember this hatred and become a vengeful ghost to haunt me... Even if he wants to kill me, it will be a happy thing."

She let out a weak laugh.

Huang Yanxia hesitated to speak, and asked, "Have you really felt nothing in these hundred years? Do you really not understand what he meant?"

Huang Qiyun smiled, with a hint of crimson on her lips: "Of course I know that he wants me to live an ordinary life like an ordinary woman... But I really just feel empty and tortured. I don't feel happy. Everything I have now only makes me regret more and makes me know more clearly that what is lost is destined to be gone forever."

The bitter smile was hidden.

Huang Qiyun continued: "I have done as he said."

"It's been a hundred years."

"A full hundred years."

"Is that enough?"

"I have already fulfilled his wish. Now...is it time for me to be willful for once?"

A hundred years of self-cultivation will break the shackles in one day.

She is still her, and I am still me.

A hundred years have passed, and it seems that everything has changed, yet it seems that nothing has changed.

Her time had long stopped at the night she left Gelu City. Even though a hundred years had passed, she still could not forget him.

"elder sister……"

The fire of purification ignited on Huang Qiyun's sleeves.

"You said, will we meet again in the next life?"

Huang Yanxia raised her right hand, the water in the clear water pond rolled, and a long sword fell into her palm.

She said affirmatively, "See you later."

"Is that so?" Huang Qiyun smiled, very happily: "Come... let's end it."

The two men faced each other, continuing the unfinished battle from a hundred years ago.

But this was not an evenly matched encounter.

Huang Yanxia has never slacked off in her practice for a hundred years. She defeated Wang Fuyue and became a new generation of martial arts legend.

Huang Qiyun lived in seclusion and even began to study pharmacology and medicine. She no longer had the heart to devote herself to spiritual practice and no longer traveled around the world. Her realm did not improve at all.

So the outcome of this battle was doomed.

They all know it very well.

Huang Qiyun is seeking death.

But this battle was still unprecedentedly brutal.

Even one of the main peaks of Phoenix Terrace was completely leveled from the surface.

Until the Bishuitan Lake...

The sword pierced through his heart.

Huang Qiyun looked at the sword on his heart speechlessly, then looked at his sister who was hugging him.

She murmured, "Why?"

"You waited for her for a hundred years."

Huang Yanxia hugged her sister, their foreheads pressed against each other. She could finally speak out what was in her heart today.

"I have felt guilty for a hundred years."

"I have done many things in my life, but looking back, the person I owe the most is my dearest sister."

"Your life has become twisted because of me."

"I'm sorry, Qiyun..."

"No matter how much I apologize, it won't make up for my mistake, so..."

"This is the only thing I can do."

The sword pierced through Huang Yanxia's heart, leaving herself no chance of survival.

She held her sister in her arms, and only at the moment of life and death could the always clumsy sword fairy finally speak her true feelings.

"I am your sister..."

"If you die, I shouldn't live alone."

"In the beginning, we lived together, and now, we die together."

"If there is an afterlife, I will bear all the sins with you and face all the malice in the world."

"Whatever it is, I will face it with you."

"I will never doubt you again and will protect you... We will never be separated again."

Huang Qiyun stared blankly at his loved ones.

she cried.

Then he laughed again.

With a smile, there is no more grudge.

Life is full of suffering, and all love is sin.

"Okay, we...will never separate again."
