Speaking of the swordsman list, there are actually not only ten swordsmen, but twenty swordsmen. It's just that the top ten swordsmen are so famous, and the following ten swordsmen are less famous, and most of them rarely appear in the world, so not many people know about them. Therefore, people in the world still habitually believe that there are only ten swordsmen on the swordsman list, which is why the top ten swordsmen are named.
For example, the swordsman Zhou Yingshang ranks eleventh on the swordsman list. Not only is he the most famous among the bottom ten swordsmen on the swordsman list, but he is also the bottom ten swordsman who has made the most appearances in the world.
His martial arts are indeed good, and the title of Sword Immortal is not for nothing. He is almost on the same level as most of the top ten swordsmen. However, even so, Sword Immortal Zhou Yingshang may not necessarily have the highest martial arts among the last ten swordsmen.
The reason for this also depends on the ranking basis on the swordsman list.
This swordsman list was compiled by Gongsun Chu, an old senior of the Qingcheng sect, who was also recognized as the best swordsman in the world at that time.
When Gongsun Chu was ranked on the swordsman list, he was already over 110 years old and almost ready to be buried.
At that time, as he was truly the best swordsman in the world, many juniors came to him for advice on the art of swordsmanship. Therefore, the Huashan Sect, a well-known and upright sect that has always been known as the best swordsman sect in the world, also has many experts asking this martial arts senior for advice.
Ji Nansong, the head of the Huashan Sect at that time, who was also the master of the swordsman Zhou Yingshang, came here to visit this peerless great swordsman of the Qingcheng Sect. Although Ji Nansong was already over 70 years old at the time, he was still a junior in front of Gongsun Chu, who was over 110 years old.
The younger generation humbly asked for advice, not in a martial arts competition, but in a way of discussing Taoism. Naturally, Gongsun Chu was still willing to teach.
The two elders discussed Taoism together in Qingcheng Mountain for seven days. Ji Nansong certainly benefited a lot, and even though he was still in his seventies, Ji Nansong actually advanced to another level of swordsmanship.
Ji Nansong was very grateful. After the discussion, the two of them had already become close friends. Finally, as a friend, Ji Nansong casually asked Gongsun Chu a question, that is, in Gongsun's mind, who among the younger generations could match him in swordsmanship. In other words, he was asked to rank among the young swordsmen and how he would rank. Of course, the descendants he was talking about were not the descendants of Gongsun Chu, but the generation of his apprentice Zhou Yingshang.
Originally, this question was just a joke thrown by Ji Nansong, but senior Gongsun Chu finally treated him as a serious matter. So he once again played with mountains and rivers, and at the age of 110, he successively gave swords to young swordsmen who were already well-known in the world at that time.
Among his targets, there were twenty swordsmen, and he had fought with twelve swordsmen in total. The other eight swordsmen were not found by Gongsun Chu, so he gave him the sword regardless.
Among these young swordsmen, including the most famous Tianxing Sword Kuangxiao Yuege, they were all defeated by the sword of this centenarian. Therefore, Gongsun Chu naturally understood the swordsmanship of these people very well. At this time, he invited Ji Nansong again, and then thought of answering his question.
Laughing Yue Ge was the only one who could fight Ji Nansong for 300 rounds before losing to Gongsun Chu with just one sword strike. Therefore, Gongsun Chu believed that his swordsmanship was the best among the younger generation and that he could compete with him. Comparable.
Hu Daiwei's swordsmanship is the slowest in the world, but it is also unique. He can be said to be a school of his own, so he is called the God of Slow Swordsman. The fifth line of Jian Ying was the only young man who could stab his clothes twice. Therefore, Gongsun Chu believed that his swordsmanship was the fastest and sharpest among these people, so Jian Ying came from this.
The Star Sword Sect in Northern Jiangsu actually had people on the list of swords bestowed by Gongsun Chu at the same time, namely Qin Gang, Li Haiqing and Ou Mu, even more than the number one sword sect in the world, the Huashan Sect. At that time, the Huashan Sect only had two of Ji Nansong's most favored disciples, Peng Ji and Zhou Yingshang, who had gained Gongsun Chu's discernment. However, what made Ji Nansong even more disappointed was that although Zhou Yingshang was awarded the title of Sword Immortal and his swordsmanship was said to be very spiritual, he was only ranked eleventh on the swordsman list in the end. As for Ji Nansong's favorite eldest disciple Peng Ji, he was not even included in the list of swordsmen.
Although Ji Nansong was disappointed, he also felt that Gongsun Chu's evaluation was fair, so he had no objection. As the youngest person to be given the sword, Oumu was only thirteen years old at the time, and he was already in the eyes of Gongsun Chu. Although he only ranked tenth on the swordsman list, at his age at that time, he was already very impressive. Therefore, Gongsun Chu believed that he was the most potential swordsman among these people, with an unlimited future. Gongsun Chu did not know how mature he would be in the future.
Because there were twelve people who were gambled with swords by Gongsun Chu, Gongsun Chu and Ji Nansong helped rank these people, that is, the twelve people at the top of the swordsman list.
There were eight people left. Although they were Gongsun Chu's targets, they were all sword-wielding killers, and almost all of them came from the same organization - the Dark Moon Alliance.
The killer only draws his sword when killing someone. If you kill someone, you will see blood. Either you die or I die. There is no such thing as striving for even victory and not seeking life or death.
Gongsun Chu couldn't ask them to kill him, nor could he ask others to ask them to kill him, so naturally he couldn't force them to take action. Because, if one practices the right way, no matter how prestigious Gongsun Chu is, he cannot destroy the Dark Moon Alliance's killer ways.
Among the eight people, seven were from the Dark Moon Alliance. The only one who was not a killer was said to be a prodigal who was hiding in the bitter cold of the far north. Gongsun Chu, who is a hundred years old, can no longer go to the bitter cold places in the far north, so naturally he cannot compete with this person.
Therefore, the next eight people can only be ranked according to their reputation in the world. The more famous ones are ranked at the front, and the least famous ones are ranked at the back.
This means that the twelve great swordsmen in front are ranked according to their strength and are called the twenty-two great swordsmen. However, people actually only remember ten of them, so they are also called the Ten Great Swordsmen. The top ten swordsmen mentioned in the world now are actually strictly speaking, they only refer to the top twelve swordsmen. They are just called the top ten swordsmen. The last eight swordsmen are almost all killers, and they rarely appear in the disputes of the rivers and lakes. If they do appear, they only kill without mercy, and not many people have seen them. Therefore, no one knows the level of martial arts of these killers. They have to estimate and judge their strength based on their reputation and the price of killing. Therefore, they are also called hidden swordsmen.
Among the hidden swordsmen, the one who should be mentioned the most is the last one.
This man has almost no reputation in the world, because he only has one name and has never shown his face. Everyone else, no matter how mysterious or reclusive, has at least been seen by someone. Even the swordsman hiding in the far north would occasionally return to the Central Plains to visit the mountains and rivers. When he had enough fun, he would return to the north. Naturally, some people would still see him. But when Gongsun Chu wanted to find him, he was not in the Central Plains, but in the far north. After Gongsun Chu ranked the swordsman list, he became an immortal within a few years, so this became an eternal regret on the swordsman list.
Only this last swordsman is truly mysterious. Because since he established his name in the world, no one has ever seen him except people from the Dark Moon Alliance.
This person is called Xu.
Why can he establish a name even though I have never met him?
Because he is the leader of the Dark Moon Alliance, Xu is the king of killers who commands almost all killers in the world. However, although he is known as the King of Killers, in fact, he has never killed anyone in his life.
No one can imagine that the world's number one killer actually doesn't kill.
Therefore, he does not kill people, so naturally no one has seen him.
He has two subordinates, one male and one female, who are collectively called the Messengers of Yama. Every time a Dark Moon Alliance killer kills someone, he will first send someone a letter from Yama, which usually only says the time of the killing, and nothing else is mentioned. Anyone who receives the letter from Yama will definitely die. The people who sent the message were probably the two messengers of Yama.
Even the killers of the Dark Moon Alliance, if they want to see Xu, must go through the two messengers of Yama and let them inform Xu first. Only when they get permission can they go to see Xu. Therefore, it is difficult for Dark Moon Killers to meet the leader of the Dark Moon Alliance, let alone ordinary outsiders.
If someone wants to hire the Dark Moon Killer, they only need to find the messenger of Yama, pay the money, state the target, and everything is fine.
The messenger of Yama wants you to die at the third watch and will never leave anyone alive until the fifth watch.
This is the power and strength of the Dark Moon Alliance, the world's number one killer alliance.
If you offend Xu unintentionally, even if you can escape to the Heavenly Palace, you will still die.
This is the strength of Tiandi's number one killer.
The best murderer in the world, he is not killing people, he is just teaching others how to kill people.
Just like gambling, in fact, the truly undefeated gambling king is gambling himself.
Similarly, almost all the most learned and wise people in the world do not write books or engage in learning.
He just taught many other students how to write books and learn.
Another example is that when Gongsun Chu was young, there was a man who claimed to have unfathomable martial arts skills, Sima Xinming, the leader of the Demon Cult. Naturally, after this person became the leader of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect became so powerful that it became the number one sect in the world. The nine sects working together could not even withstand a single blow from him. Therefore, everyone in the world recognized that their martial arts were truly the best in the world, even higher than Gongsun Chu and the top master of the Demon Sect at that time, Yang Zhengnan.
Why is Yang Zhengnan the best master of the Demon Cult? Because he has never been defeated against the top martial arts masters, and no one dares to challenge him. But even such a person is willing to become Sima Xinming's thug, which shows how powerful Sima Xinming is. It is not so much that he is the top master of the Demon Sect as it is that he is the No. 1 thug of the Demon Sect.
The demon sect had enemies, so they only took action to subdue the demon Yang Zhengnan, and everything was done immediately.
With such subordinates, Sima Xinming is naturally like a "feather fan and silk scarf." When he talks and laughs, his oars and oars disappear into ashes. Therefore, since he became the leader of the Demon Cult, no one has ever seen him take action, because there is no one in the world who can do this. He had to overcome Yang Zhengnan. However, people just thought that he was the best in the world.
A person who never takes action is recognized as the best in the world. This kind of person is actually unprecedented and unprecedented in the world.
A true gambling king never gambles money.
A true wise man never writes books.
A real killer never kills.
A true master never takes action.
The real arena never stops.
In fact, it's not that Ba Ye has never heard of Gui Er's name. He was just pretending.
Even if he dares to occupy the mountain and become the king, and he doesn't have many men and horses, he can still stand tall. Of course, he has some original skills. How could he not know the masters of Poisonous Beast Gap, one of the four major families?
However, even if he knew the name of Dushouxia Gui Er, why did he still dare to be so arrogant?
Gui San was very angry when he heard that Master Ba was rude to Gui Er. Without waiting for his senior brother to speak, he immediately said: "How brave! Do you know who we are? After all, you are so rude to our second senior brother, don't you want to live?" La?"
"I don't care who you are? You are so brave! Do you know who I am? Why don't you want to live if you are so rude to me?" Ba Ye still didn't give in and even imitated Guisan's tone.
"You! Hmph! I think you are so bold that you even dare to interfere with the affairs of Dushou Gorge? Let me tell you, we are the people of Dushou Gorge. This is my second senior brother Du Chong Gui Er. You mountain man, hand him over quickly. Otherwise, your village will be razed to the ground immediately!" Guisan said, already secretly practicing his skills, ready to take action at any time.
"Poison Beast Gorge? I am you, aren't you monkeys in the mountains? Why, now you have learned to wear human clothes? It seems that this is called wearing a crown while wearing a monkey! However, I don't think you look like monkeys! Haha! "Ba Ye is still as domineering as ever, still imitating Gui San's tricks of hitting him and teasing him.
hehe! Ha ha......
At this time, Ba Ye's subordinates also burst out laughing when they heard Ba Ye's joke.
It seems that they are already very familiar with Ba Ye. As long as Ba Ye is around, they will not be afraid of any enemy they encounter.
"A bunch of bandits are not as good as the sky. Gui San wants to see how capable you are?" Gui San said, flying and punching Ba Ye. He originally thought that Ba Ye was just a little bandit who would immediately tremble in fear when he heard the name of Poisonous Beast Gorge. But he couldn't believe it at all. When Ba Ye heard the name of Poisonous Beast Gorge, not only was he not intimidated, but he became even more dissatisfied and even sarcastic.
"Well done!" Ba Ye was not afraid even if he saw ghosts attacking him three times.
Ba Ye took a step back first, and the Ghost Sanming Fire Fist immediately hit the open space where he was standing just now, and a ball of fireworks rose with a "boom". Gui San had no idea that this bandit leader was so skilled in movement, and he also anticipated the enemy's opportunity and dodged his punch first.
However, before Gui San could react, he saw Ba Ye avoid his punch and suddenly stabbed his chest with a backhand sword.
The sword attack was so fast that Chu Gui San was completely unexpected. Gui San wanted to dodge, but suddenly found that Ba Ye's swords were suddenly divided into three, attacking him from the left, middle and left at the same time. In other words, no matter how he dodges, it is impossible to avoid Ba Ye's sword.
Ghost San had no choice but to retreat because he couldn't dodge. However, Ba Ye's sword moves were extremely powerful and he still pursued him closely.
Gui San didn't expect that the bandit leader on the hilltop was actually a tough guy. No wonder he was so arrogant? Gui San was horrified, and in a panic he could only punch several times in succession. The strength of his punches immediately resolved the two sword shadows, leaving only a real sword.
With a "Zhi" sound, Gui San was immediately hit with a sword on his right shoulder, but Ba Ye showed mercy and only pierced the flesh of Gui San's shoulder, then he immediately stopped his attack. If he had been more vicious, he would have killed Guisan's right arm right away.
"Three points of sword energy, good swordsmanship!" Gui Er immediately praised after seeing this.
"Haha! I didn't expect that you still have some eyesight and actually recognize my swordsmanship." Ba Ye said with a smile.
"I am ignorant, may I ask your surname?" Gui Er asked.
"I have no name, but brothers all call me 'Ba Ye'!" Ba Ye replied still domineeringly.
Gui San didn't know what kind of martial arts the Three-Point Sword Qi was, so he just asked: "Second Senior Brother, what kind of martial art is the Three-Point Sword Qi?"
"Three-point sword energy, it is said that he is the twelfth on the swordsman list, and the three-point sword madman is famous for his martial arts." Gui Sanyi heard that he was a swordsman, and he naturally felt a little sure. But he didn't expect that this three-point swordsman was only ranked twelfth on the swordsman list, but he was also so powerful that he hurt himself with one sword.
Of course, the main reason why he was injured was because of his own carelessness. But even if you are not careless, it will still be difficult to defeat him.
This man's swordsmanship is not only as fast as lightning, but the sword force can also transform into three sword shadows, which is very unpredictable.
Supreme illusion, using falsehood to cultivate reality.
These horoscopes refer to the highest level of martial arts, but it is not expected that this swordsman, who is only ranked twelfth, is already so skilled in swordsmanship.
"Then he's not a three-point sword madman?" Gui Er is still ranked twelfth on the list of swordsmen. He is a three-point sword madman, but he also doesn't know his name.
Because even Gongsun Chu, who ranked him on the swordsman list, didn't know his name, so the swordsman list only wrote his posthumous title of "Three-Point Sword Maniac" and his comments on his three-point sword technique. describe.
As for the three-point sword maniac himself, there is no description, because he really does not know this person's background and the origin of his apprenticeship. There is not even a famous figure in the world who knows this man's back.
"I didn't expect that there are still people in the world who remember this name." Although Ba Ye did not directly answer this sentence, it can be regarded as an indirect inheritance from the team that he is a three-point sword madman.
Speaking of which, Gongsun Chu and Ji Nansong added the titles to the swordsman list. Because the two have high prestige, this swordsman list is also widely circulated. These titles are not only recognized by fellow martial arts practitioners, but are also used as nicknames by myself.
Among the twelve true swordsmen, the other eleven have all used the title of Swordsman Ranking, but this three-point swordsman has never been used. Therefore, except for Gongsun Chu himself, no one actually knows who this three-point sword madman is, what is his name, and who is he?
