Chapter 344

Hearing this, Su Hang could not help but smile lightly.

He had already lost count of how many times he had heard the same question.

Then, he looked at the Evil Emperor and said softly:

"As the Evil Emperor can see, Su is a fortune teller..."

"With heaven-sent divination and the deduction of the Book of Changes, I can always calculate all the secrets of this world."

"What is so difficult about a mere method of entering the demonic path?"

Having said this, Su Hang paused slightly and then said:

"Besides that, after you entered the demonic path, you also created the Nine Styles of the Demonic Blade."

"It is precisely these nine styles of the Demonic Blade that allowed you to stand proudly in the Jianghu and truly become the best in the world!"

"The day the Demonic Blade was perfected was also the time your martial arts reached the heavens..."

"Back then, it was precisely by relying on this Demonic Blade that you shook the Jianghu, and at a young age, you became the First Evil Emperor, respected by everyone in the Jianghu."

"Regardless, the wish you made in your youth was finally realized."

Hearing Su Hang's words, the Evil Emperor showed a bitter expression.

"Yes... the great wish I made in my youth was finally realized..."

"But, but so what?"

"If I could, I would rather have lived an ordinary life."

Recalling the past, the Evil Emperor could not help but feel heartbroken.

Su Hang nodded and continued:

"Once you enter the demonic path, you are a demon for life; this is a predestined fate, how can it be changed?"

"It's just that the old gentleman is right; creating the Demonic Blade was indeed the peak of your life, but from then on, you never had another happy day."

"As the saying goes, you succeed because of the Demonic Blade, and you fail because of the Demonic Blade."

At this very moment, in front of the Half-Moon Inn.

Su Hang looked at the First Evil Emperor before him and could not help but smile slightly.

Then he picked up the teacup in front of him, took a light sip, and said calmly:

"The reason I say the old gentleman succeeded because of the Demonic Blade is because the Demonic Blade brought you infinite fame."

"It was precisely because of the sudden appearance of this Demonic Blade that you emerged and became the undisputed number one in the Jianghu."

"At that time, you were not yet forty years old, just at the age of no confusion."

"You must know that for a martial artist, if one can become the best in the world at forty, what an honor that is."

"Yet the old gentleman achieved it; in the Jianghu of the Huanghan era, you were indeed the undisputed number one in the world."

"On this point, whether it was the Jianghu figures of that time or the sects of that time, no one denied it."

"In fact, there was even a rumor circulating in the Jianghu back then."

"First Evil Emperor, Second Blade Emperor, Third Pig Emperor."

"In short, no matter how you ranked them in the vast Jianghu, the old gentleman was the undisputed number one."

"Once the Demonic Blade appeared, all heroes bowed their heads; in that era, no one dared to challenge the might of the Demonic Blade."

"It can be said that it was precisely because of this Demonic Blade that the old gentleman's prestige reached an unprecedented level."

"In this way, the ideals of your youth were finally realized."

"You both created the world's greatest martial art and truly became the world's number one that everyone yearned for."

"In this way, the great ambitions of your youth were finally achieved."

In front of the Half-Moon Inn, as Su Hang said this, everyone widened their eyes in admiration.

Especially when they heard that the Evil Emperor became the best in the world at a young age and swept through the entire Jianghu with the Demonic Blade, sounds of exclamation rose from the crowd.

After all, if it were anyone else, no matter how high their martial arts talent was, it would be impossible to become the best in the world at the age of forty.

What the First Evil Emperor did not know was that he had indeed broken a record unintentionally.

Thinking of this, how could the crowd hold back?

Even though they were in front of Su Hang, they could not help but discuss it.

"Tsk tsk tsk! In this way, this First Evil Emperor is truly not simple..."

"Yes! At the age of forty, he could create the Demonic Blade and become the best in the world; this must be the legendary martial arts genius!"

"Isn't it? Let alone ordinary masters, even the strongest peerless experts in the Jianghu would likely not be able to do what the First Evil Emperor did? It's too terrifying, it's truly too terrifying!"

"If I remember correctly, even the old City Lord of Snow Moon City, Li Li Changsheng, could not have reached the level of the First Evil Emperor at forty; to be the best in the world at such a young age is truly enviable!"

"Just now Mr. Su also said that the First Evil Emperor of that time was the undisputed number one in the world; there was no controversy regarding the Evil Emperor's strength."

"In any case, to achieve such results at such a young age, we are truly envious!"

"Through this matter of the First Evil Emperor, I have understood a principle: if someone wants to achieve something in martial arts, practicing the demonic path is the ultimate way out!"

"Isn't it? As long as the Demonic Blade is perfected, one can instantly possess a thousand years of cultivation; how is that not a thousand times better than practicing martial arts?"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Xu Fengnian could not help it anymore.

He looked at Old Huang, then at Su Hang not far away, and said slowly:

"Brother-in-law, I still don't understand when you say that..."

"You said so much, clearly talking about the achievements the Demonic Blade brought to the old gentleman,"

"But just now you clearly also said that the old gentleman failed because of the Demonic Blade?"

"From what you just said and did, I can't see a single word of failure."

After Xu Fengnian finished speaking, a not-so-small chorus of agreement came from behind him.

Like Xu Fengnian, there were still many Jianghu figures who did not understand the reason for this.

For a moment, everyone turned their bodies and focused their gaze on Su Hang again.

Thinking of this, Su Hang picked up the teacup in front of him, paused slightly, and then said:

"Just now, Su spoke of succeeding because of the Demonic Blade."

"Then next, Su will speak of failing because of the Demonic Blade."

"As the fame of the Demonic Blade spread far and wide, you also sat firmly in the position of number one in the world."

"No matter what kind of expert they were, they could not defeat your Demonic Blade; even if a long-famous master of the Jianghu came, they would not be able to win."

"The vast majority of people would retreat and find an opportunity to escape before you even used the true Demonic Blade."

"And precisely because of this, as time went on, your fame grew greater and greater; being the best in the world seemed ordinary to you."

"At that time, you were naturally riding high, your prestige unmatched for a time."

"You became the best in the world, married the daughter of a famous family, and had one son and two daughters."

"It can be said that at that time, you were the most fulfilled person in the entire Wu Lin."

"Martial arts number one, fame the greatest, children complete; if life is like this, what more could one ask for?"

"As the saying goes, fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune hides in fortune; the transition between fortune and misfortune happens in an instant."

"You lived such days for many years, until your children grew up, until you became the peak martial arts expert of the Huanghan Dynasty."

"After you turned fifty, no one in the vast world dared to challenge you."

"Because the might of the Evil Emperor's Demonic Blade was known to all under heaven."

"And as the years passed, your Demonic Blade became more and more refined, its power greater and greater."

"But what you never expected was that just when your Demonic Blade reached its peak, you welcomed a special challenger."

"This special challenger was none other than your son, First Qiusheng."

"Seeing that the challenger was your son, you were unwilling to fight him at all; for one thing, you knew better than anyone that the power of the Demonic Blade was not something First Qiusheng could handle."

"Besides that, in order to practice the Demonic Blade, as you entered the demonic path deeper and deeper, sometimes you couldn't distinguish between friend and foe; if your demonic nature erupted during the duel with your son, that would truly be a loss that outweighed the gain."

"Therefore, when you heard First Qiusheng's words, you refused him without hesitation, saying that you didn't want to fight him at all."

"You originally thought your refusal would be effective, or that it would suppress First Qiusheng."

"But what you never expected was that First Qiusheng, in order to fight you, would not hesitate to threaten you with death."

"In his view, if he couldn't fight you and experience this Demonic Blade, he might as well commit suicide immediately."

"Before he finished speaking, First Qiusheng held a blade to his own throat, not hesitating to threaten you with death."

Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar again.

No one could have imagined that the First Evil Emperor before them had once had such an unbearable past.
