Chapter 363: The glory of defeat. Who says that only those who win are the best swordsmen?
Li Changsheng smiled awkwardly and spread out his hands.
"It's just a joke, why are you so serious young man?"
"I've been guarding the city gate for so long, and I've basically dealt with those blind men. The remaining ones are nothing to worry about, so I thought I should come and check on you two."
"After all, there aren't many people I know well in this world, and you happen to be the son of an old friend."
After saying this, Li Changsheng looked at the two of them and couldn't help but nodded and sighed.
"You still look like old friends. It's really touching. So many years have passed in a flash, and even you have grown so big."
"Of course, I'm not here just to reminisce with you. Xiao Chuhe, I want to ask you, is the current Beili what you want to see? In other words, do you regret your decision?"
Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected Li Changsheng to ask this question. He looked at Li Changsheng strangely.
"Mr. Li seems to be very concerned about my choice, but this matter happened a long time ago, and I don't like to regret the things I do."
"Besides, the burden of Beili is not just on me. Why should I bear it all? I can stand up in the face of major issues, but that doesn't mean I am willing to compromise for the sake of the country."
"That position will change a person beyond recognition. I don't hope to become like that one day. I yearn for the vastness of the world and want to overlook the vast mountains and rivers. An eagle spreads its wings and soars. The square sky cannot hold you back."
"If I hadn't experienced so much before, I might still be willing to protect everything I think is worth protecting for the so-called responsibility and the so-called bloodline, and climb to the highest position."
"But now I can't help but think that it is the most tiring and strenuous position in the world, and I don't like it. Mr. Li has always been a reclusive person and doesn't care about what's happening outside the window. Why do you ask me this question?"
After hearing Xiao Se's answer, Li Changsheng remained silent for a long time. He didn't say much, but he couldn't help but think of the tall figure back then.
"Nothing, just asking casually, seeing how friendly you two are. That guy Lin Heng hasn't come back in such a long time. Could he be staying in the Sword Sect and not coming back?"
Li Changsheng said this in a joking tone. He knew Lin Heng's personality. He knew that he would not stay in the Sword Sect forever. He was probably now making arrangements for his future affairs.
As for the Sword Sect, after Lin Heng finished explaining everything, he nodded slightly. Next, he wanted to test their martial arts.
I haven't seen them for so many days, and I don't know if they have made any progress.
Lin Heng looked around at them, holding the Mountain and River Sword behind him, and said in a cold voice.
"From now on, you can attack me with all your strength. This is my test for you. Anyone who can defeat me by even a little bit will be able to obtain a more advanced sword manual."
Everyone in the Sword Sect looked at each other in bewilderment. To be honest, those who joined the Sword Sect were all sword masters who dominated their area. Who doesn't have some ambition?
Who wants to be inferior to others? There is always an insurmountable mountain ahead.
So defeating Lin Heng was their common wish, but they had never thought of fighting Lin Heng so soon.
After all, with their current strength, it is a fantasy to defeat Lin Heng.
So even if Lin Heng took the initiative to ask them to go up, they were still hesitant and even felt like retreating.
Seeing that no one had taken any action yet, Lin Heng couldn't help but frown.
"What? You guys don't dare? Are you scared so easily?"
"Since the sword manual isn't tempting enough, how about adding my original sword style?"
As soon as Lin Heng said this, burning feelings appeared in the eyes of the remaining people, and they couldn't help but shudder.
In fact, there are not many masters in the world who can create their own sword moves, and any such master can establish a sect. Obviously, Lin Heng is one of them.
However, this kind of sword moves are extremely rare, and they did not expect that Lin Heng could offer such generous conditions.
Lin Heng sighed helplessly.
"It's just that you beat me by a few moves. Don't you have the courage to do that? Or do you not have the confidence in yourself?"
"I haven't let you completely defeat me. Now choose whether to draw your sword or retreat."
As soon as Lin Heng finished speaking, they had made the decision. Ximen Chuxue drew out the black sheathed sword and rushed towards Lin Heng.
Seeing Ximen Chuxue taking the initiative, everyone else paused, and Wushuang swallowed silently.
This is a competition within the Sword Sect, so naturally group fights are not allowed. Although all of them combined may not be a match for the alliance, since it is a competition, fairness must be maintained.
So they all consciously stepped back a few steps and made room for Lin Heng and Ximen Chuxue.
Wuming couldn't help but shook his head with regret. He originally wanted to be the first one to go up, but who knew that Ximen Chuxue got there first.
Ximen Chuxue usually keeps quiet and doesn't show off his abilities, but at the critical moment, he draws his sword faster than them.
Ximen Chuxue leaped forward, held the sword horizontally, then turned, and then the sword changed, pointing the blade directly at Lin Heng's neck. He was already close to Lin Heng, but Lin Heng's Mountain and River Sword suddenly blocked it.
When the two swords collided, strong sparks suddenly burst out. The sparks flew everywhere, making Ximen Chuxue and Lin Heng's eyes even brighter.
Lin Heng swung the Mountain and River Sword forward, then took two steps forward, and immediately turned around. The tip of the sword swung, and the overwhelming sword intent rushed forward with the sound of the Mountain and River Sword.
"This sword is called One Sword to Guard Mountains and Rivers!"
Ximen Chuxue's pupils trembled, and he subconsciously pulled the sword back a bit, but he reacted immediately, and then his eyes became more determined, and he still pushed the sword forward.
One sword guards the mountains and rivers. The Mountain and River Sword Style is Lin Heng's famous skill. There are very few people who can take on this sword, not to mention under such hasty conditions.
Lin Heng didn’t say before that he could use the Mountain and River Sword Style!
Ximen Chuxue originally subconsciously wanted to avoid the sharp edge, but he was determined not to retreat. Facing the challenge head-on is sometimes a good choice.
Even if you are destined to lose, you must lose with honor. Who says only the winner deserves praise? Who says only the victor is a top swordsman?
There are millions of people in this world who are afraid of this sword, but I dare to take it. Isn't that already surpassing many people?
