Chapter 174

The fourth private room in the South District.

Lu Lu Xiaofeng said with surprise: "Xue Yiren, I didn't know there was such a top swordsman in the Great Ming Jianghu back then."

"Xie Lu Xiaofeng's light was too bright in that era, shining on the world, making all swordsmen look dull."

"Xue Yiren, although he was the swordsman second only to Xie Lu Xiaofeng in the same era, still found it hard to emit his own light."

"Perhaps because of this, he chose to seal his sword and live in seclusion after Xie Lu Xiaofeng passed away."

"He didn't want the younger generation of swordsmen to also bear this kind of pressure."

Hua Hua Manlou said with emotion.

Ximen Chuixue, who was on the side, remained silent, only subconsciously gripping the black-sheathed sword in his hand.

If Xue Yiren hadn't voluntarily sealed his sword, with his arrogant attitude at the time, he would definitely have gone to challenge him.

What would the result have been?

A few years ago, his Sword Dao was far less exquisite than it is now.

And Xue Yiren had already been honing himself at the peak of Sword Dao for over ten years.

Ximen Chuixue estimated that if he had gone to challenge Xue Yiren at that time, he would likely have lost.

For a swordsman, defeat is a very terrifying thing.

Because the most important thing for a swordsman is an invincible heart.

An invincible heart that says, no matter who it is, I will defeat them with one sword.

If you lose your invincible heart, your sword intent will become stagnant.

At best, you will stop progressing; at worst, your state of mind will shatter, and your realm will fall.

Just like that old Sword God Li Li Chungang under the Tingchao Pavilion, once his state of mind broke, his realm immediately fell several levels.

So looking at it from this point, he is undoubtedly lucky.

In the era when he rose to prominence, the first Sword God Xie Lu Xiaofeng passed away, and the second Sword God Xue Yiren sealed his sword and retired.

These two Sword Gods, who were enough to make him suffer setbacks, exited the stage one after another, leaving the stage to him.

If it were someone else, they might feel lucky about this.

But he is Ximen Chuixue, the cold Sword God who considers himself invincible in the world.

His heart is as proud as Xue Yiren's, and he disdains to have this first Sword God title that doesn't live up to its name.

So he only felt stifled in his heart at this moment.

Without fighting Xie Lu Xiaofeng, without defeating Xue Yiren, his title of first Sword God is more like a joke.

……

The seventh private room in the South District.

Zuo Lengchan couldn't remain calm anymore.

"With Xue Yiren's Sword Dao, he is actually only ranked seventh on the Sword God Ranking?"

Zuo Lengchan muttered in disbelief.

As an older figure, he knew Xue Yiren's name very well.

In that era, Xue Yiren was the strongest swordsman after Xie Lu Xiaofeng.

The three words 'Blood-Clothed Man' had heavy weight in the Jianghu; who didn't respect and fear him?

Zuo Lengchan himself asked if he was definitely not Xue Yiren's match back then.

And such a powerful swordsman is only ranked seventh on the Sword God Ranking?

Then can there still be his position ahead of this?

A very bad premonition emerged in Zuo Lengchan's heart.

That is, he overestimated himself too much.

With his sword technique, it is not enough to make it onto the Sword God Ranking at all.

If this is true,

wouldn't his trip have become a huge joke?

"No, I don't believe it!"

Zuo Lengchan roared in his heart, his eyes looking coldly towards the white jade platform.

He couldn't wait to know who the later Sword Gods were.

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen was drinking tea with great interest.

His guess was correct.

Adding appropriate rhetorical devices when commenting on characters can greatly increase the growth rate of popularity points.

After all, people in this era all worship the strong, and even more worship heroes, heroes with stories.

The Xue Yiren he described, with peerless Sword Dao talent yet a tragic life, clearly resonated with many people.

Now, the popularity points have already approached the 600,000 mark.

And compared to Xue Yiren, the next Sword God to be revealed is even more heavyweight.

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't wait for everyone to discuss, and directly unfolded his folding fan, saying slowly:

"The sixth place on the Sword God Ranking, Ximen Chuixue."

Boom!

A mere ten words, but it felt like a mountain crashing down.

The main hall, which was originally boiling, instantly became silent.

Everyone's movements froze at this moment, like ice sculptures.

The highly anticipated Ximen Chuixue finally made it onto the list.

This first Sword God of the new era, wearing the title of Xie Lu Xiaofeng's successor, was worshipped by millions of swordsmen.

Some swordsmen even claimed that this era is Ximen Chuixue's era.

The only one who can compete with him is that first Sword God of the Western Sea, Ye Gucheng.

In everyone's view, the top two Sword Gods of the Great Ming must be these two.

However, Su Chen's words gave everyone a head-on blow, making their brains roar and tremble.

Ximen Chuixue did indeed make it onto the list.

But he was only ranked sixth.
