I hire players in the martial arts world

In a quiet mountain village.

The unshaven-bearded [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] was packing up his tools for going out hunting. Occasionally, some naughty children came over and looked at him curiously, but under the silent gaze of [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy], they quickly dispersed.

The Sword Maniac, who had a cold face before, now smiled.

He walked briskly and familiarly to the village entrance. When he looked back at the peaceful scene not far away, his smile became more sincere.

Boom!
The strange sound that suddenly came to his ears made his body subconsciously tense up. The big knife that was no longer tied in the cassette and seemed to be casually carried on his back along with other tools such as a hunting bow, appeared to have a cold silver light.

dong dong!

[Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] frowned. He noticed that the people in the village were still doing their own things. At most, a few people looked at him blankly who had stopped at the entrance of the village for some reason.

Boom boom boom!
At this moment, the scene before my eyes became unreal.

A memory that was almost forgotten began to revive, but the experiences of the past ten years or so became increasingly vague.

"I am not a master."

boom! ! ! ——

His brain suddenly became clear, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the ground in an extremely indecent posture, and the Yama Sword that actually belonged to him had become his cushion.

[Knife Maniac and Sword Fanatic] quickly stood up and said to himself with a wry smile as he picked up the Yama Knife.

“Sure enough, there are still some subtle differences.”

He stroked the blade carefully, and the vicissitudes in his eyes gradually faded away.

"Have you recovered?" Qin Fan looked at [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy]. Compared with when he came, his murderous intent had been restrained, but it was extremely deliberately suppressed. Now [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] was like a sword that was completely covered in dust and its edge could not be seen.

"It looks like you've gained a lot."

[Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] nodded. After he sealed the Yama Sword back into the scabbard, he looked at Qin Fan with a hesitant look.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Everything I've experienced is really just an illusion, or is it?"

"You can think of it as a time travel to a parallel universe. Everything that develops is consistent with the situation in the previous era, including the changes you make. Even if you return to the same starting point, the different experiences are indeed different from reality."

“But I still haven’t saved anyone.”

"This is a trial for you, not asking you to change anything." Looking at the silent [Blade Maniac and Sword Crazy], Qin Fan knew that the other party would need some time to adapt, and he had already blurred the memory impact of this experience.

Later, when he has enough willpower to ensure that accepting all this does not affect himself, it will be a valuable experience for him.

But now, it is enough to inherit the martial arts experience.

As for the remaining gains and losses.
Qin Fan believed that [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] could digest and solve the problem by himself. Even if he couldn't get out of it, he still had the help of another person.

"Take him down. There are still two hours before the martial arts tournament begins. Let him get ready."

"Yes."

The voice that sounded in the empty hall startled [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy], and then he saw Wang Jingyu standing in the corner with a very low presence.

The opponent has also made some significant breakthroughs during this period, otherwise his strong murderous intent would not have been hidden from even the distracted [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy].

"Let's go."

The usual brief speech and the seemingly cold behavior of turning around and walking away actually calmed the disturbed [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] down.

After bowing to Qin Fan, he hurriedly followed Wang Jingyu's steps.

The two walked out of the Hades Tower one after the other, and Qin Fan sighed with some regret.

"It's really not that easy to comprehend a domain. It seems that using illusions to artificially create opportunities is not advisable, but it can really help sharpen the mind. It's just that it takes up too much of my own time."
-
Ten minutes walk from the Pagoda.

The master and disciple were silent throughout the whole process.

Originally, [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] was not so cold, but the illusion experience that was so real that he couldn't tell the difference between truth and falsehood made him accustomed to being less talkative, because only that kind of himself, or that kind of Wang Jingyu, could provide more sufficient confidence and hope to the disciples who trusted him.

"Thanks a lot."

Wang Jingyu's sudden voice made [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] stunned.

For a moment he didn't know how to answer. Although the memory was fading, the fatigue it left in his heart was still affecting [Sword Maniac and Sword Crazy]. What he knew better was that compared to himself who had taken advantage of certain advantages of being a reborn person.

Wang Jingyu, who truly experienced that dark past, experienced the real hardship.

This evaluation made him feel a little ashamed and self-blame.

Because even if that experience was fake, he ultimately didn't change anything.
"Tell me in detail. I only know from Master Guizun that you retraced the story of the split of the Xingxiu Alliance on my behalf, and then embarked on the road of escape for more than ten years."

Wang Jingyu's voice was very calm, he had indeed let go of that past.

Without the split of the Star Alliance, the current Suzaku Palace would not have been reborn. Even if the existence of the Suzaku Palace is indeed not suitable to continue due to various factors, as long as people are alive, it is enough.

More importantly, there is no need to hide, and everyone has a bright future.

All of this is a hundred times better than just rebuilding the Suzaku Palace and forcibly maintaining the majesty of the former evil giant.

Then [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] briefly described his situation. Although the specific details were blurred, he remembered clearly several key points in this important experience.

At the beginning, it was passively accepting the development of events.

Because the split of the Star Alliance was a long-planned conspiracy, the Suzaku Palace, which was hit hard, was facing internal and external troubles.

The betrayed disciples, the fellow disciples who came to attack, the righteous people who kept chasing him, when the incident started with Huang Tiangui's urgent call, everything could only be passively accepted. In order to save more fellow disciples to survive, it was difficult to allow too much thinking.

"Your current strength should be stronger than my former self. Are you being suppressed?"

“No, they have all become stronger,” [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] said with a bitter face.

More than a decade ago, this strong man in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm would have been able to kill people at will. The martial arts he mastered were of extremely high grade, and he also understood the true meaning of the four major martial arts. It was impossible for a genius of this level to be easily challenged by a higher level opponent.

And this is indeed the case. If his fighting power is fully unleashed, he can fight against the three evil giants who have been elevated to the level of celestial perfection, on par with Huang Tiangui.

But this does not solve the crux of the problem at all.

The split of the Xingxiu Alliance was inevitable. It was not long after Yuhuangtian took the throne. At this time when the court was in turmoil and various external forces were eyeing it covetously, the newly-appointed Emperor Xuan, who had long been expected, was the one who pushed for the hidden rifts within the evil sect.

This was more of a compromise deal between Taoism and Buddhism, which created the situation where the righteous way prospered and the evil way declined.

The political significance of this cannot be solved by a "sword maniac" who can only rely on force but is not the best.

The Xingxiu Alliance must be split, and the Suzaku Palace must be destroyed as an example to others.

This is the general trend.

"I want to go over and seek refuge with King Wuwei, and take advantage of his ambitions."

"It's not feasible. King Wuwei was quietly accumulating strength at the time. He would not take on the hot potato of Suzaku Palace. Don't forget to calculate the time. It wasn't long before he knelt on his way to the court for thousands of miles and presented the woman's head."

"Then I also thought about relying on a certain family. Even if it was just temporarily, I could use the family's connections at the time to quell the endless pursuit that followed."

"Still failed? Which one did you choose?"

"The Yueling Hua Clan. Because this is the only force I know of that dares to establish its own flag after the advent of the era of great strife."

"The one who dared to raise the flag was not the Yueling Hua clan, but Hua Yaoyue."

"I know, but the fact that they can cooperate with Hua Yaoyue shows that they are bolder and more restless than other families."

"The results of it?"

[Knife Maniac and Sword Fanatic] pursed his lips and said with a frustrated look.

"It failed. It was another ambush. The other party is determined to kill us all."

"Which force are you going to join next?" Wang Jingyu became more and more addicted the more he listened. To be honest, they didn't even have the opportunity and determination to make a choice at that time. They were still in a stage of mutual suspicion internally, which led to the two Star Inheritors leaving one after another.

Seeing [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] still jumping around to find a backer, it shows that the internal suspicion and hidden dangers have been resolved.

This alone shows that this special advantage of being a reborn person still plays some role.

However, [Blade Maniac and Sword Fanatic] just kept his head down and spoke.

"Other forces simply can't hold on, and Buddhism and Taoism are even less likely to give us this opportunity, especially those bald donkeys. I have tried to contact them just to gamble on the chance of laying down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha, but they turned out to be the most ruthless.

Twenty-seven of the thirty-three Zen temples were directly dispatched, and eight of the sixteen Tantric temples also came.

As for the one sword, one knife, three evil demons, one palace, one mansion, and five strange sects, in addition to the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, the Wensheng Temple, and the Ye Mansion, other forces are also chasing us. Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Poison Palace and the Nether Corpse Sect stepped forward to share the pressure. "

"So you finally returned to the starting point?"

[Knife Maniac and Sword Fanatic] nodded.

“Xuan Yang Territory is the only way out, or rather, the existence of this chaotic land is a way out they deliberately left for us. Otherwise, if we were really pushed to the limit, if my uncle and I lost our temper, we could cause considerable damage.

If one is really ruthless enough, it is possible to cause devastation to the lives of all the people in an area.

It’s just that those disciples, especially some of the children who are three or two years old, have not experienced this colorful life yet. They need to live on and see the future.”

After saying this, [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] revealed a sense of fatigue and vicissitudes.

In this regard, Wang Jingyu, who could truly empathize with the other person, patted the other person's shoulder silently.

After a minute of silence, he spoke.

"You did a great job, and I did a great job too."

"In fact, I tried to unite with the Ye Mansion and prepare to make a big move." [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] was obviously not satisfied with his performance, "But the Ye Mansion is elusive. Even if I have some important information, I can't easily reveal it because I can't see the key person.

Otherwise, there will be a real disaster.

I also tried to find Wuyou Mountain Villa in advance, but I searched all over Xuanyang Region and couldn't find the place.
I also tried to secretly organize forces to retaliate, but due to the limitations of the times and the exhausted disciples, it was difficult for the Suzaku Palace to launch a counterattack at that time. Any movement in the Xuanyang Territory would attract some trouble and too much attention. "

[Knife Maniac and Sword Fanatic] sighed deeply.

But Wang Jingyu suddenly asked.

“In fact, we all know that after the civil war broke out, the reason why so many disciples were able to follow us around is that their survival rate is not too low. These people are used to tie us down.

if"

"There are no ifs. They can live safely. They are the source of our confidence to fight to the end. They are the only light of hope that remains in the darkness. Even if we return to ordinary life in the end, I will..."

[Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] suddenly stopped talking. He knew that his overly excited counterattack was truly meaningless.

Wang Jingyu understands this better than him.

"You have learned the most important lesson. Remember the boundaries you set for yourself."

Wang Jingyu tapped the heart of [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] and then took a few steps forward and spoke.

"Come on, let me see your progress. If it's too bad, I won't be the only one disappointed."

After [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] exhaled a few long breaths, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot. He caught up with the other party with a smile, and only fell behind him by half a step.

The master and disciple fell silent again, but they were enjoying this silent and comfortable atmosphere along the way.
-
On Futu Sword Island.

Wang Chongyang awakened the rootless demon who was sitting cross-legged by the lake.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Wugenmo nodded expressionlessly, but when he saw the other party following him, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Are you still the referee?"

"part time."

Wang Chongyang did not take the treasure ship that came to pick him up, but instead rode a flash of sword light directly through the black deep sea filled with thick deathly aura.

The Rootless Demon silently pulled out his Red Dragon Sealing Snow Sword. After killing Gong Jiu, this magical weapon truly belonged to him. The two of them also reached a tacit understanding of the unity of man and weapon. For example, now the Red Dragon Sealing Snow Sword can sense the thoughts of its master.

So as it shook extremely violently, the Rootless Demon put away his sword again with some regret.

He boarded the treasure ship, and as it sailed across the vast River Styx, his black and white eyes were occasionally filled with a hint of darkness. When there was no other color in his pupils, his long hair fluttered without wind.

On the distinctive hilt of the sword that he was holding tightly, which looked like a long dragon circling around it, the pair of pupils belonging to the red dragon seemed to be completely black in an instant.

But when he arrived at his destination and got off the boat, everything returned to normal.

Passersby walking on the street will unconsciously keep their distance from it, because once they get close to the rootless demon, they will feel a chilling and terrifying feeling. (End of this chapter)
