Opposite the man in black sat a man in white. He had a handsome face and noble temperament, just like an emperor. He exuded a sense of superiority from head to toe. His eyes were like torches and bright as stars. Although his clothes were not luxurious, they made him look like an emperor, with nobility in his every move.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting opposite each other, with two jars of the best Bamboo Leaf Green Tea, a few side dishes, and four or five pounds of beef on the table.

Logically speaking, this should be a warm moment for a pair of close friends to sit together, drink, and chat.

It just so happened that when these two people sat together, it was as if thunder and lightning struck each other, and sparks flew when their eyes collided.

Although the two men were just sitting opposite each other and didn't even move, the sword intent in their bodies was involuntarily revealed. The mighty and invisible sword intent was like two blue dragons entangled and fighting in one place. The terrifying pressure that erupted made the grass, trees, bamboo and stones within a radius of more than ten feet tremble, and some of them were even turned into dust.

Anyone who can unleash such terrifying sword intent is certainly not an ordinary person. It is no exaggeration to say that even in the entire martial arts world, there are probably no more than ten such people.

But just at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, there happened to be two swordsmen, one black and one white, both of whom possessed such terrifying sword intent.

Because they are not ordinary people.

One is Yan Shisan, a deadly swordsman who has seen through life and death, and has developed the Thirteen Deadly Swords to the fifteenth sword, and has brought this killing sword technique to the extreme.

The other one is the third young master of the Divine Sword, Xie Xiaofeng, who has become indifferent to fame and fortune and regards worldly glory and wealth as dirt, even discarding the sword he once cherished most. His state of mind has been sublimated to a perfect state.

Either of these two people can be regarded as the top masters in the martial arts world. Even if we look at the entire martial arts world, they are definitely rare.

What's more, in addition to their powerful martial arts, they are also two top swordsmen.

Yan Shisan is proficient in deadly sword techniques and has realized the sword intent of death in his early years. Although he had a period of time when he was disheartened and wanted to die, he was also controlled by Wei Wuya and became a war slave.

But after meeting Su Liu, his life, which was destined to be tragic, was changed and his fate was rewritten.

Not only did he wake up from his decadence, but he also abandoned everything in the duel with Su Liu, saw through life and death, abandoned all distractions, and unleashed the unprecedented Fifteenth Deadly Sword, possessing a fighting power comparable to that of a land immortal! .

Chapter 1196 Confidant, or Enemy?

Compared with Yan Shisan's fantastic experience of life and death, Xie Xiaofeng's experience in the past year can also be described as a dream of life that is both real and illusory.

Tired of the disputes and fights in the martial arts world, he finally chose to fake his death to escape and wandered around the world alone. Eventually, by chance, he accidentally came to the brothel Yiqinglou. As a most despicable pimp, he spent the whole day emptying toilets for the girls in the brothel to make a living.

The third young master of Shenjian Villa, who was once high and mighty and known as the Sword God, has now become a pimp who empty toilets for prostitutes. Is there anything more ridiculous than this in the world?

But Xie Xiaofeng was willing to endure humiliation and wander in the world. He would rather hide in Yiqing Tower and live a life without disputes and exchange his labor for food. He was unwilling to return to Shenjian Villa and become a cold-blooded killing machine.

But in the end, this peaceful life was broken by Su Liu's arrival.

After Su Liu told him, Xie Xiaofeng learned that there was actually another opponent in this world who was desperately pursuing him and had even lost consciousness and become a war slave.

Out of respect for this old enemy, Xie Xiaofeng resolutely left Yiqing Tower and went to Zhongnan Mountain alone, embarking on the journey to search for Yan Shisan.

And in the end, the two finally met.

At this moment, on the stone table, Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan looked at each other, filled with emotion. They wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

After holding it in for a long time, Xie Xiaofeng finally spoke with difficulty, looking at Yan Shisan and whispered:

"Are you awake now?"

Yan Shisan nodded gently, his pale face still as cold as ice, and said lightly:

"You should have seen the owner of this mountain. He is a truly powerful being, like an immortal. After he rescued me, I regained consciousness with his help. To repay his kindness, I volunteered to stay at the foot of Mount Zhongnan and serve as a mountain dog guarding the gate."

"Mountain guard dog..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh.

Yan Shisan, the deadly swordsman, was willing to call himself a mountain dog and guard the gate for the immortal Su Jianxian.

If this matter spreads to the world, it will definitely cause a sensation and even shock the entire martial arts world!

But Xie Xiaofeng could understand Yan Shisan's feelings very well.

People like them regard money as dirt, but they cannot go unrewarded for repaying favors. This is the character that a swordsman should have.

At this time, Yan Shisan turned his gaze towards Xie Xiaofeng. After a long silence, he slowly spoke:

"Where have you been hiding these past few years? I have searched the entire Ming Dynasty but have not found any trace of you..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaofeng was stunned and didn't know how to start. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.

"Yiqing Building."

"Yiqing Building!?"

Hearing these three words, Yan Shisan's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.

As a man of the world who had traveled around the world, although Yan Shisan had never been to the famous Yiqinglou, which was known as the number one brothel in the Ming Dynasty, he had heard of it.

Hearing that Xie Xiaofeng had been hiding in a brothel for the past three years, Yan Shisan found it difficult to express the complicated feelings in his heart. He could only smile bitterly and asked:

"After three years in Yiqing Building, are you still able to wield a sword?"

Chapter 1197 Yan Shisan: Are you a pimp in a brothel?

After hearing Yan Shisan's question, Xie Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and said helplessly:

"Do you think that I am indulging in the pleasure of life in the Yiqing Tower all day long?"

"if not?"

Yan Shisan asked back.

Although he is a swordsman, he is also a man of the world and is not unfamiliar with the land of fireworks.

Xie Xiaofeng drank a glass of wine, then put it down. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face. He glanced at Yan Shisan and said with a half-smile:

"Brother Yan, if I told you that I spent a year and a half in Yiqing Building as a gigolo who emptied toilets for the girls, would you believe it?"

Hearing this, even Yan Shisan, who was always cold and frosty, suddenly changed his mind when he heard this. He almost spit out the wine he had just drunk. Even his voice was trembling a little. He said in disbelief:

“You…what did you say!??”

"You're working as a pimp in a brothel!?"

At this moment, Yan Shisan even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his ears. How could he hear such bizarre words that sounded like a fairy tale?

Who is Xie Xiaofang?

He was born with sword bones and was praised as the hope of the future of Divine Sword Villa since he was a child. He is the third young master of Divine Sword and is known as the King of Swords!

Be it identity, status, appearance, or martial arts, he seemed to be blessed by God, born with all of these, destined to become the most shining figure in the world.

How could such a noble man like an emperor, who also possessed incredible martial arts, abandon everything and become a pimp in a place of fireworks? ?

This is really too unbelievable!

Yan Shisan looked at Xie Xiaofeng and was about to open his mouth to refute, but he was suddenly startled because he saw Xie Xiaofeng's eyes, which were full of sincerity.

In just a moment, Yan Shisan was able to make the conclusion.

The other party did not lie.

Xie Xiaofeng, the man known as the King of Swords, had indeed been hiding in the Yiqing Building and working as a lowly pimp for the past three years since he disappeared.

Yan Shisan looked bewildered, his eyes full of confusion. After a long silence, he finally asked with difficulty:

"why?"

It was just three words, but coming from Yan Shisan's mouth, they sounded as if they were worth a ton of gold.

Over the years, he has always taken Xie Xiaofeng as his target and constantly honed his swordsmanship in the hope that one day he would be able to defeat Xie Xiaofeng head-on, defeat the third young master of the Divine Sword, and prove that his deadly swordsmanship is the number one swordsmanship in the world.

However, fate played a joke on him.

When Yan Shisan thought he had mastered the art of swordsmanship and went to the Divine Sword Villa to challenge Xie Xiaofeng, what he saw was the tomb of the third young master of the Divine Sword Villa.

Yan Shisan was shocked at that time and refused to believe the news that Xie Xiaofeng was dead. So he began to travel around the world, vowing to find Xie Xiaofeng.

It was precisely because of this obsession that he fell into Wei Wuya's trap, was completely brainwashed, and became a war slave. After experiencing countless hardships, he regained consciousness with the help of Su Liu. It can be said that he had walked through the gates of hell and was reborn as a human being.

But now, Xie Xiaofeng suddenly appeared in front of Yan Shisan and said that he had been faking his death all these years. The truth was that he had been hiding in a brothel and working as a pimp!

This truth is simply a huge joke to Yan Shisan, and it is also the biggest deception to him! .

Chapter 1198 Xie Xiaofeng’s past!

At this moment, Yan Shisan took a deep breath, and with great effort, suppressed his inner resentment and anger, and looked at Xie Xiaofeng, and asked word by word:

"May I ask Brother Xie, why have you been hiding in the Yiqing Tower for all these years? You would rather be the most lowly eunuch and endure the greatest humiliation in the world, but you also want to hide your identity and abandon your past as the Third Young Master of the Divine Sword?"

After hearing this, Xie Xiaofeng fell into a long silence. After a long time, he sighed softly, with a bit of sadness in his eyes, and said with emotion:

"In the past, Xie Xiaofeng had everything that people desire, including worldly power, wealth, martial arts, and even beautiful women. He had them all at his fingertips."

"And now, Aji is the most useless Aji. He is ordered around in a brothel, doing the most menial job in the world. He even has to empty the toilets for the girls in the building to barely fill his stomach."

"These two lives are so different. One is high above, and the other is as humble as dirt. But in my opinion, the past two years as Aji may be happier and freer than the days when I was Xie Xiaofeng..."

At this point, a faint smile appeared on Xie Xiaofeng's handsome face, as if he was thinking of the past. A faint arc appeared on his lips, and he murmured to himself:

"No matter how I've been living these days, at least, this is the life I chose. No matter what I want to do, it's my own choice. I'm away from the fighting and disputes in the martial arts world. I don't have to draw my sword and kill anymore, and my hands don't have to be stained with blood. In the past two years of living as Ah Jia, my heart has been extremely peaceful, and I've never been entangled by the nightmares of the past..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shisan fell into silence.

As a peerless swordsman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xie Xiaofeng, Yan Shisan could understand the feelings described in Xie Xiaofeng's words, as well as the sorrows of the past.

The swordsman's destiny is to fight.

This question has been deeply engraved in their hearts since they first held the sword when they were young.

The sword is a weapon of killing.

For people like Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan, things like kindness and sympathy should never appear in them. Reckless killing is their destiny.

But Xie Xiaofeng is not such a person.

He practiced swordplay at a young age and had unparalleled aptitude. He could hold a sword at the age of three, was familiar with sword manuals at the age of five, and could perform various sword techniques fluently at the age of seven. At the age of eleven, he had created his first sword technique. After he came of age, even his father, Xie Wangsun, could not match him in swordsmanship.

For Shenjian Villa, it was undoubtedly a gift from God, allowing an unparalleled sword genius to be born in their family that reveres the sword.

Therefore, Xie Wangsun, the owner of Shenjian Villa, gave Xie Xiaofeng the most rigorous training since he was a child, and personally took him through various hardships.

This includes killing.

That’s right, it’s murder, pure and simple murder.

The way of killing contains the sword intent.

This is the sword path that Xie Wangsun chose for Xie Xiaofeng. He wants to train this talented third son into a sharp sword that is unparalleled in the world, and cut off all the opponents who dare to attack the villa! .

Chapter 1199 Yan Shisan: Your ability hasn’t declined, has it?

But this kind of killing method was not what Xie Xiaofeng wanted, and he even deeply hated it.

Xie Xiaofeng is not a kind-hearted saint, and the sword in his hand is stained with blood, but he is absolutely unwilling to attack those who are unarmed and unwilling to resist.

In his heart, he would undoubtedly swing this sword at stronger people, not at the weak. However, after years of sharpening his sword, under the instruction of his father Xie Wangsun, the sword in his hand has been stained with the blood of too many innocent people.

Finally, after he killed a famous swordsman who had retired from the martial arts world and lived in seclusion for many years, and under the pressure of his father, he personally slaughtered the entire family of the master, young and old. Xie Xiaofeng's tense emotions finally collapsed completely.

He was unwilling to hold the sword tightly in his hand. He felt that he was unworthy. Can a swordsman who attacks innocent people and the weak be considered a real swordsman?

Xie Xiaofeng was determined to give up this bloody life, and decided to throw away the sword in his hand and even give up the title of the Third Young Master.

One day, he finally deceived everyone and faked his death to escape. He then crawled out of the grave, alone and penniless, and stumbled into the world of mortals.

After that, Xie Xiaofeng abandoned his own name, abandoned everything he once had, even the sword that was precious to his life.

By chance, he wandered to the door of Yiqing Building, and fainted due to being too hungry. He was found by the girls in Yiqing Building. Later, he stayed in the building to do odd jobs under the name of useless Aji. Although his life seemed extremely lowly, he himself was extremely satisfied with the peaceful life.

However, this peaceful life was eventually broken by the arrival of a person.

That person was naturally Su Liu.

……

Listening to Xie Xiaofeng's story, Yan Shisan couldn't help but fall into silence, and his eyes gradually changed from grief and anger to relief.

As a destined opponent, or a close friend who knows each other best, he can understand Xie Xiaofeng's thoughts.

That year, after learning the news of Xie Xiaofeng's death, Yan Shisan was completely desperate and even decided to die. He wanted to find a cemetery and become a gravekeeper to live out his life in solitude.

But in the end, he still accidentally fell into the clutches of Wei Wuya and became an insane slave, becoming a thug for such a despicable villain as Wei Wuya.

In the end, it was after he met Su Liu that his tragic fate was changed, and he settled down in Mount Zhongnan.

At this moment, Yan Shisan and Xie Xiaofeng looked at each other. After staring at each other for a long time, they suddenly chuckled.

Both of them walked on the brink of life and death. What was even more coincidental was that their originally tragic fate was completely changed after they met that man.

Su Liu.

What kind of magical power does this ethereal man possess that he has the power to change his destiny?
