Chapter 185

……

Just at this moment.

Su Chen on the white jade platform spoke again:

"Everyone might think, since he can't afford to lose, wouldn't it be fine if he were just invincible in the world?"

Below the high platform, everyone nodded one after another.

Xie Xiaofeng was the strongest swordsman of that era, and even the number one Sword God overseas, Ye Gucheng, was defeated by him.

Originally, there was no one in the world who was his opponent.

"Actually."

"Xie Xiaofeng thought so too."

"He felt that as long as he was always the number one Sword God in the world, he could satisfy everyone's expectations."

"Until one day, he took a trip to Dongtinghu."

"After returning, he knew that he was no longer the number one in the world."

What?

The crowd of Jianghu heroes widened their eyes one after another.

Not the number one in the world?

Could it be that he met a more powerful swordsman during this trip?

Everyone thought of the top three Sword Gods on the Sword God Ranking that were still vacant.

Could it be that Xie Xiaofeng met one of these three people?

Su Chen's commentary continued.

"Xie Xiaofeng panicked; he met a stronger swordsman."

"Although that person didn't come to challenge him, he knew he was no longer the number one in the world."

"The fear of failure in his heart grew day by day."

"The identity of the Third Young Master of the Divine Sword Villa made him unable to lose, only to die."

"So Xie Xiaofeng chose to die."

"He abandoned the identity of the Third Young Master of the Divine Sword Villa."

"He abandoned Murong Qiudi, with whom he already had a marriage contract."

"He abandoned the name of Sword God that he had fought so hard to achieve."

"He abandoned the Xie Family's unique skill 'Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Sword-Snatching Style' that he had practiced for a lifetime."

"He abandoned everything he could abandon, faked his death and went into seclusion, staying away from everyone who had seen him."

"The Divine Sword Villa searched for his traces in vain and could only helplessly announce that Xie Xiaofeng was dead."

……

Su Chen's commentary had ended, but everyone could not break free from that painful atmosphere for a long time.

Some people found it hard to understand; if you are not the number one in the world, you have to die?

But the fact is exactly so.

For ordinary people, being able to break through to the Master Realm is infinitely glorious, and being the second Sword God in the world is supreme glory.

But for Xie Xiaofeng, who had been crowned with the name of invincible since childhood, being second in the world was a fact he could not accept.

"So this is the reason for Xie Xiaofeng's fake death and seclusion; I still can't quite understand it."

"You haven't stood at Xie Xiaofeng's height, so naturally you can't understand his pain."

"Mr. Su's commentary is very good; being expected by others is sometimes a burden."

"The expectations placed on Xie Xiaofeng were too many; I can understand the pressure in his heart."

"The mysterious Sword God who made even Xie Xiaofeng admit defeat is the key; who exactly is he?"

"Needless to say, that mysterious Sword God must be one of the top three on the Sword God Ranking."

"Sigh, fate plays tricks on people; if he hadn't met that mysterious Sword God, Xie Xiaofeng probably wouldn't have faked his death and gone into seclusion."

……

In the hall, Jianghu heroes from all walks of life discussed with emotion.

After Su Chen's commentary, everyone was able to accept the reason for Xie Xiaofeng's fake death.

After all.

Living in this world, everyone has been expected by others to some extent.

Everyone can understand the pressure generated in the heart when being expected.

Thinking back to the expectations Xie Xiaofeng bore, and his hesitation when he discovered he was not the number one Sword God in the world.

Everyone understood.

For this, one can only sigh helplessly.

Success comes from the Divine Sword Villa, and failure also comes from the Divine Sword Villa.

……

"｀¨Ding!"

"The host's commentary in the Miscellaneous Talks was vivid and triggered resonance throughout the venue; specially rewarding 13,000 popularity points."

"Storytelling popularity has exceeded 856,000 points."

"The host has accumulated eight gold lottery cards, five silver lottery cards, and six bronze lottery cards."

"Please keep up the good work, host."

Su Chen's eyes lit up; gold eight-consecutive draw, it's done!

Although ranking the Sword God Ranking in one go would probably barely scrape together a platinum lottery card.

But Su Chen felt it was unnecessary.

Let's have a gold eight-consecutive draw first; it won't be too late to save up for a platinum lottery card next time.

Moreover, the top three Sword Gods of the Sword God Ranking that have not yet been announced will definitely trigger widespread discussion and bring him more viewers.

With a larger base of viewers, his popularity points can steadily increase.

Thinking of this, Su Chen did not hesitate, unfolded his folding fan, and said loudly:

"Everyone."

"The two themes of this issue's Miscellaneous Talks, the aftermath of the 'Nine Yin Manual' and the Great Ming Rouge Ranking sub-list, have both ended."

"The Sword God Ranking will be commented on up to here for now."

"If you want to know what happens next, please come back in five days."

As soon as these words came out, it unexpectedly caused an uproar throughout the venue.

The crowd of Jianghu heroes showed reluctance, trying to keep Su Chen and wanting him to talk for a while longer.

Because they still had too many doubts they wanted to resolve.

For example, who exactly is that invincible Sword God of the Great Song who guided the sword Dao of Feng Qingyang of the Huashan Sword Sect?

For example, what exactly happened during Xie Xiaofeng's trip to Dongtinghu? Why did he admit he was not the number one in the world after returning home?

They also wanted to know where Xie Xiaofeng is hiding since he faked his death and went into seclusion?

With Xie Xiaofeng's sword Dao strength, he can only rank fourth on the Sword God Ranking; what are the origins of the top three Sword Gods?

There were simply too many various doubts.

The whole hall became noisy.

"Thump!"

Just when it was bustling, a man in ragged clothes below the high platform suddenly knelt down.

And after the man knelt down, he directly kowtowed three times to the white jade platform.

This scene startled everyone.

Although they all wanted to know the follow-up content of the Sword God Ranking, there was no need to be so desperate, right?

"Lin Pingzhi, the young master of the Fuwei Escort Agency, pays respects to Mr. Su of Snowy Blades."

"Please, Mr. Su, have great mercy and compassion, and preside over the case of the extermination of my Fuwei Escort Agency!"

Under the gaze of ten thousand people, Lin Pingzhi said powerfully.
