Chapter 194
After Jiang Xiaoyu's reminder, he finally remembered who he had wronged.
Princess Tianmei!
She was indeed a peerless beauty... he had stayed with her for a full two months.
(chdh) Over the past four years, he could not recall how many women he had had, but aside from her, no one else could have made him stay that long.
While Xie Xiaofeng sank into his memories, the surrounding crowd, as if struck by a thunderclap, instantly erupted into chaos.
They whispered to one another, debating fervently.
If it were merely a common love debt, they would have treated it as mere entertainment.
After all, for a martial arts hero as young and accomplished as Xie Xiaofeng, countless admirers existed; leaving behind one or two love debts was hardly surprising.
Yet they never expected that the woman Xie Xiaofeng had seduced was actually a married woman!
And a friend's wife!
They say "a friend's wife must not be seduced"; this act violated a great taboo.
Not only that, to monopolize his friend's wife, he actually killed his friend!
Most shocking of all, he killed his friend for love, yet less than a month later, he grew tired of that woman and abandoned her...
Looking at the whole sequence of events, not a single thing was something a human being would do!
And such a treacherous, heartless act was committed by the Third Young Master of the Divine Sword Shanzhuang, famous throughout the Great Ming's Wu Zhou, regarded by countless women as their dream lover!
If he had not been exposed and confronted face-to-face, who would have dared to believe Xie Xiaofeng could be such a person?
The crowd felt shock, disbelief, anger, and contempt... in an instant, gazes of various meanings were all directed at Xie Xiaofeng.
Although Xie Xiaofeng did not admit it, his silence and his expression of recollection at that moment told the crowd—
Jiang Xiaoyu had not falsely accused him!
And to this, Xie Xiaofeng offered not a single word of defense.
He was already a dying man; he no longer cared about his reputation after death.
Looking up at Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Wuque, Xie Xiaofeng asked no more questions and slowly closed his eyelids.
Once his cultivation power dispersed, the heart meridian he had forcibly maintained immediately broke completely.
The Third Young Master of the Divine Sword Shanzhuang, the most renowned rising star of the Great Ming's Wu Zhou, drew his last breath amidst the crowd's spitting and contempt.
Before dying, he did not even leave a single last word.
"Feng'er!"
Grandson Xie Wangsun let out a cry of grief, rushing forward to embrace Xie Xiaofeng's corpse.
His own son was dead; the future hope of the Divine Sword Shanzhuang was thus cut off. Under immense sorrow, Grandson Xie Wangsun's old tears flowed freely.
Afterwards, he cast a vicious glare at Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Wuque.
And the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi.
Yet amidst his resentment, did he not also feel regret?
He was not unaware of Xie Xiaofeng's romantic affairs; he had simply never paid them any mind.
In his view, those were merely trivial matters.
Furthermore, his son was so outstanding; for those women to be favored by him was their fortune.
As long as Xie Xiaofeng remained that sword path genius, bringing glory to the Divine Sword Shanzhuang, what did it matter if he played with a few women?
But he never expected that Xie Xiaofeng would ultimately fall because of a love debt!
Grandson Xie Wangsun felt both regret and hatred, yet he could do nothing to the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi. Letting out a long, grief-stricken roar, he carried Xie Xiaofeng's corpse and vanished without a trace.
The good show ended, and the crowd began to disperse.
However, the topic discussed by everyone was basically the same—
Xie Xiaofeng killed his friend and stole his wife!
The Twenty-Eighth Battle, Xie Xiaofeng perished!
The one who killed Xie Xiaofeng was Jiang Wuque, disciple of Yan Nan!
At the same time, news from here spread to the surroundings at an astonishing speed.
Watching the retreating backs of Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Wuque, and the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, Jiang Sishui could not help but fall into deep thought.
After a while, he came to his senses and looked at Qin Keqing beside him: "What are you thinking?"
Qin Keqing turned her head, meeting Jiang Sishui's gaze, and said seriously: "You won't be like that Xie Xiaofeng, treating me as merely a momentary whim, will you?"
Jiang Sishui laughed helplessly, reached out to hold the young girl's soft hand, and said: "If I were to start a relationship with you and then abandon you, let me die in disgrace and ruin, just like Xie Xiaofeng."
Qin Keqing looked into his eyes, said nothing, and gently rested her head on Jiang Sishui's shoulder.
【In the works of the ancients, there are dozens of titles and countless swordsmen, yet only three are explicitly named "Sword God"】
【Xie Xiaofeng, Yan Nan, Ximen Chuixue】
【These three come from different works, but in this mixed Comprehensive Martial Arts World, they have the chance to meet and even challenge each other】
【Today, by chance passing through a town, I heard news that Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Nan were to duel】
【Two Sword Gods deciding superiority; such a spectacle, of course, must be gone to see】
215 A Qing: Those not as strong as me, those who cannot understand, are all considered to be bragging.
"Sword God?"
Gu Mingsiyi, the God of Swords; this title represents a swordsman's achievement of reaching the peak on the sword path.
And in this Comprehensive Martial Arts World where heroes emerge in every generation, those worthy of this title would likely possess at least semi-divine cultivation.
Otherwise, it is destined to be a joke.
If you dare to call names recklessly, someone might come knocking on your door the very next day.
Just as Huang Yaoshi was unworthy of the title "Eastern Evil," the title "Sword God" is equally a crown of immense weight.
The women searched their memories, then were shocked to discover that there was actually no Sword God in this world!
In other words, the title "Sword God" across the Central Region, the Four Seas, and the Twenty-Eight Provinces has always remained vacant!
Of course, this does not mean there are no masters of the Sword Dao.
It is just that some are low-key and reclusive, caring nothing for fame or profit, and do not show themselves before others.
Others prefer other titles, such as "Sword Saint," "Sword Demon," and so on.
Without a doubt, if Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Nan Tian could be crowned with the name "Sword God," they must be the ceiling of combat power in the story.
Even in reality, neither of them is an unknown figure; many owners of diary copies have heard of them, or even worship them.
At this moment, these people were all surprised—
"Yan Nan Tian? Hasn't he been missing for a long time? Now he has appeared again."
"Xie Xiaofeng? The most prominent young genius of the Five Provinces of Great Ming; it is rumored that every time he challenges, his sword strikes kill, leaving no survivors. Could it be that he and Yan Nan Tian have also fought to the death?"
Thinking of this, some who were originally just watching the spectacle could not help but grow tense.
Fearing that the side they cared about might meet disaster.
Among them, one person was the most tense.
East Sea, Forget Worry Island.
Qing Qing gripped the diary copy tightly, her trembling hands even turning white, just like her face at this moment.
Because she knew that Yan Nan Tian could not possibly fight Xie Xiaofeng!
At least not during this period.
Then, who exactly impersonated Yan Nan Tian's name?
"Is it them? Did they really go to find Xie Xiaofeng..."
Qing Qing's heart rose to her throat; her eyes stared fixedly at the page, fearing to receive the result that would make her collapse.
【Xie Xiaofeng is the only protagonist among the three】
【So naturally he also has the protagonist halo】
【High talent: learned swordsmanship at five, understood the sword manual at six, and by seven could recite poems fluently】
【Good background: the Third Young Master of the Divine Sword Shanzhuang, a martial arts family in the Wu Lin; he has everything he wants—famous teachers, Wu Gong, resources... nothing is lacking】
【Strong combat record: not yet fourteen or fifteen years old, yet his sword was like a god's; he rose by stepping on Hua Hua Shaokun, the "Number One Swordsman of the Huashan Sect" at that time, becoming famous in a single battle】
Yue Yue Lingshan: "..."
Well, the Huashan Sect has made a fool of itself again.
This time they did not steal or rob, yet they directly became stepping stones for others to achieve fame.
