According to legend, many years ago, there was a big devil who did all kinds of evil in the martial arts world.
This person's martial arts skills are so high that no one can match him. If it comes to fighting alone, the entire martial arts world has to admit that he is the best in the world.
Of course, everyone also knows the rule - "There is no need to talk about moral principles when dealing with such evil heretics."
Therefore, the martial arts heroes at that time also came up with various ways to try to create an environment where they could defeat him with a massive numerical advantage.
Of course, this demon is not stupid. Every time he sees something is wrong, he will run away, and his Qinggong is not low... As long as he wants to run, few people can catch up with him, and those few Even those who can catch up with him cannot defeat him even if they join forces.
So what do you think...is this the case and there is nothing we can do about him?
Obviously not.
Lime powder, teasing the vaginal legs, seduction, poisoning, hidden arrows, fire attacks... these kinds of methods have not been used yet. Can this be said to be no solution?
But...if we really want to use these words, who should step forward to use them?
Shaolin? Wu-Tang? Or Emei?
Monk goes to spread lime powder? The Taoist priest came to lift the vaginal legs? Is the teacher in charge of seduction?
If you want to talk about suddenness and surprise...then these three hands are indeed a bit fierce, but it is impossible for monks, Taoists and masters to agree.
Zhengdao Zhengdao, although not all are good or perfect people, it is impossible for everyone to be as good as Jiang Shouzheng.
Generally speaking, the majority of decent people in the martial arts world still prefer good things. Just because they are "not moral" does not mean that they "do not care about the bottom line"; even someone like Di Bujue, who has a desire to dominate and does not mind vicious competition, Man, you see, when he faced the threat from Wujian Villa, he didn’t just run away or surrender, right?
Furthermore, if someone really does something that is despised by others, it will be thankless... If you don't succeed, no one will sympathize with you; if you succeed, everyone will probably pretend in the future. You're deaf and mute, it would be nice not to poke your spine with this matter.
Therefore, the righteous way, although there are many people, usually occupies the moral high ground and the power to formulate rules, there are also certain constraints. After all, true gentlemen and hypocrites are not so easy to be.
So in the end... facing that devil, what kind of solution did they come up with to get the best of both worlds?
That is - "Seven Absolute Formations of Swords".
Why the Seven Swords? Rather than the seven skills of guns and sticks, or the seven skills of fists and feet? It's very simple. At that time, there were seven people in the world who could keep up with or surpass that demon in light power. Of these seven, four happened to be sword-wielding and three were sword-wielding...
So, everyone gathered these seven people, worked together, and the martial arts masters from various sects jointly discussed and created a formation that could integrate the power of the four swords and the three sabers.
Later, they did use this formation to defeat the devil, but then they faced another problem: Who should own this formation?
After everyone discussed it, the final result was... Since everyone has more or less contributed to this operation, and the participants all know what this formation is about, it is unrealistic for you to go back and forget it, so you might as well just do it. Everyone has a share.
In this way, the various sects have agreed that any sect or individual who participated in the creation and implementation of the formation can pass on the "Seven Absolute Swords Formation", but it must be passed on to "people who can be trusted." It is absolutely necessary to prevent this formation from being known by people in the devil's path, lest it be used against those in the right path one day.
Times have changed, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye.
As for this formation, it is true that it has not been transmitted to the demonic side. You have to ask why? Because people in the evil sect are not interested in this kind of thing. If they encounter an opponent they can't beat, they can always use lime powder, tease the vaginal legs, seduction, poisoning and other means to greet them. Who has time to deal with you? ?
Besides, the power of this Seven Swords Absolute Formation, to put it bluntly, depends on whether the person setting up the formation is worthy of the word "absolute".
If you find seven second- and third-rate guys, even if you can practice this formation until it can fly, that's all.
Many sects took this formation back and passed it on to their own disciples and experimented with it. They also discovered this problem, so they no longer regarded this thing as a treasure.
There is also the leader of the chicken thief who modified the formation so that it does not require four swords and three sabers and only requires seven people to use it. He also changed the name and regarded it as the routine of the sect. Martial arts are passed down.
In short, due to various reasons, after many years, this original formation is on the verge of being lost.
Of course, there are still a few people who know it, such as... Gu Rong.
This "Kuixing Sword" Gu Rong is a descendant of one of the seven masters who fought against that demon. This formation has been passed down in his family for generations.
However, don’t think that Gu Rong is some well-born young master from a well-off family...
On the contrary, he was the illegitimate son of the eldest son of that famous family and a brothel girl. His childhood could be said to be very miserable.
Although his father wanted to bring them into the family and give them a status as mother and son, the family behind him would never allow him to do so.
The final result of Gu Rong's father's struggle was that he could settle Gu Rong and his son in a corner of the city, give them a certain amount of money every month, and occasionally visit them, but Gu Rong must take his mother's surname and cannot claim it to the outside world. I have no relationship with their family.
Growing up in this environment, Gu Rong's situation was self-evident. He had long been accustomed to the pointing fingers from his neighbors, the ridicule from children, and his mother's frequent sadness... he had long been accustomed to it.
The only thing that could allow him to escape these troubles was the swordsmanship taught to him by his father.
Gu Rong is not very talented, but he is not without talent either. He is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who works very hard.
His father was also very dedicated when teaching him, even more attentive than teaching his own legitimate son. He even taught all the family secrets such as the "Seven Jue Formations of Swords".
Days like this lasted until Gu Rong reached adulthood.
That year, his mother died of illness, so he said goodbye to his father and chose to travel far away from home, using the surname and name his mother left him to make a living in the world.
He thought this was a new beginning.
He didn't realize that he was just escaping from something he had to end in this life...
…………
After entering the world, Gu Rong never told anyone about his origins, let alone who his father was. Even though he later became famous, he never thought about returning to that "home". Who to seek revenge from.
Until...ten years ago.
Gu Rong was thirty years old that year and had been in the martial arts world for ten years. At that time, he heard the news that his half-brother had a conflict with a guest at Wujian Villa. , and his arm was cut off. In order to avenge the broken arm on his legitimate son, his father went to Wujian Villa to ask for an explanation. As a result, Xiao Zhun had his martial arts canceled on the spot.
There is nothing right or wrong about this matter in terms of martial arts... People who practice martial arts, when they go out, they have some quarrels and frictions with each other. In the end, when they see the real chapter in their hands, you are not as good as others and get injured. Being disabled is what you deserve; it is also legitimate for your family or your sect to seek revenge and seek an explanation, but in the end, it still depends on whether you have the "ability to seek justice."
After all...it's only fair if you get it back.
In Xiao Zhun's place, you usually can't get anything. Besides, Xiao Zhun didn't choose anything from the beginning to the end. He didn't kill them even after they came to him and "handled" them. , I just lost my martial arts, which is quite polite from a certain perspective.
Therefore, in the end, it was Gu Rong and his family who suffered the loss. Not only did they not get any explanation, but their reputation in the world also plummeted from then on - what kind of famous martial arts family? It turns out that it’s nothing more than that. It’s hard to live up to such a prestigious reputation. How can you still dominate the land for so many years?
What happens next is also conceivable.
Two generations of direct heirs in the family, one was disabled in martial arts, and the other had his arm cut off. Their family has such a large local foundation... Who wouldn't be greedy for this piece of fat that no one is protecting?
The local tyrants, evil gentry, corrupt officials, martial arts comrades, and even some simple gangsters all felt that this family was easy to bully after that incident.
In less than two years, all of such a wealthy family and a famous martial arts family were dead. The remaining concubines and servants were also scattered. Their property... was naturally taken away by those who took it. Divide it all up.
Gu Rong watched these people who had "nothing to do" with him slowly go to a dead end, and he could only watch and do nothing.
Maybe most of the family members felt sorry for him, but at least he had a father who treated him well, and there were some innocent children who were only in their infancy. According to blood, they were considered his nephews of Gu Rong. Their deaths were too tragic. injustice.
Gu Rong thought about it and decided that he wanted revenge.
He felt that in the final analysis, all this was the fault of Wujian Villa and Xiao Zhun.
Maybe his idea may not be right, but that doesn't matter anymore - some people just need hatred and a target for revenge, because only in that way can their unfinished love or hatred be vented.
It was at this time that Gu Rong met Wen Yuzhai, a young knight with extraordinary intelligence and unpredictable city fortune.
After being in contact with him for a period of time, Gu Rong discovered that although this young man from the thatched cottage was more than ten years younger than him, he was a person whose abilities were far above his own, someone he could rely on and trust.
So, Gu Rong told Wen Yuzhai about his hatred and wanted the latter to teach him how to avenge people like Xiao Zhun...
Soon after that, Gu Rong began his undercover career.
Under Wen Yuzhai's instructions, Gu Rong directly told Xiao Zhun his life experience on the first day he came to the villa, because Wen Yuzhai knew that even if Gu Rong didn't tell, Xiao Zhun would probably learn from him. In "The Offering of Swordsmanship", you guessed who taught him, and with Xiao Zhun's character, the more you evade and hide something like this, the more it will arouse his suspicion.
Therefore, it is better to tell him directly the truth that others think is a secret, and then add lies in the most critical places.
Gu Rong also acted according to the plan. He first confessed his relationship with those "family members", but at the same time he lied, saying that he was very grateful to Xiao Zhun for what he had done, because he had long wanted to tell those people who "didn't admit that he was such a wild man". "The person who planted the seeds and caused his mother to suffer a lifetime of pain" has taken revenge, but he has no chance, and there is not much certainty about being able to do it alone - fortunately, the sky has eyes, and you, Master Xiao, have avenged me in disguise. I have made up my mind to show my sincerity to you from now on.
This kind of half-truth and half-false lie is indeed clever. It can also be said that Wen Yuzhai is more resourceful than Xiao Zhun. In short, this set of rhetoric allowed Gu Rong to sneak into Wujian Villa smoothly.
And he has been lurking for more than seven years.
In the past seven years, Xiao Zhun not only never doubted Gu Rong, but even believed and appreciated him, because Gu Rong was indeed a seemingly outstanding disciple.
During the period of lurking, Gu Rong never did anything that would arouse suspicion, except for conveying some very important information to Wen Yuzhai from time to time (such as Xiao Xuan's first descent from the mountain, such as the plan to sacrifice the blood sword, etc.), that is, In other words, he may only be active once in a year or two, so this flaw can be ignored; and his rigid, low-key, and diligent character is very suitable for learning the skills of a "sword instructor" Sword theory.
Therefore, without knowing it, Gu Rong became Xiao Zhun's most valued or most pleasing confidant. He became... the head of the Nine Heavens Sword.
But Gu Rong's murderous intention did not subside at all. On the contrary, as he got to know Xiao Zhun better and better during his years at Wujian Villa, he became more determined to get rid of Xiao Zhun.
At this time, Gu Rong no longer harbored any personal hatred towards Xiao Zhun, but his desire to eliminate evil as a knight.
Earlier today, when he joined the Seven Swords Formation, he also felt... great things were about to happen! With such a powerful group of companions forming a formation together, he could finally kill this demon with his own hands.
However, reality is often not as smooth as expected...
Due to various sudden changes, Xiao Zhun successfully transformed into an inhuman existence. When the six of them launched a siege on him for the second time, Gu Rong quickly experienced unexpected "despair" and "horror".
Now, as soon as the two sides fought, Gu Rong's sword had just been raised, and he felt a huge force coming from his hand. He didn't see what Xiao Zhun did at all, and he didn't even see the precursor of the opponent's attack. He was so shocked that he stepped back several feet.
And when he looked up at the other five people in shock, he found that the four people except Xiao Wuji were also blown away like him, especially Lin Yuancheng and Jiang Muchan, who were younger and had less internal strength. Both of them seemed to have vomited blood, and Hai Cangfeng and Sanzi Wang... Although they didn't vomit blood, looking at their faces, it seemed that they had discovered the difference in strength.
Only now did Gu Rong understand that the six of them had simplified things.
They are not everyone's "last hope" - maybe they were before the Blood Sword embryo was formed, but they are no longer.
Now, let alone defeating Xiao Zhun, the six of them would not be enough even if they wanted to hold Xiao Zhun back.
In this arena, no one has ever really seen something like a "Sword Demon", so they have no idea of its strength. If they had an idea, they wouldn't think they had a chance to defeat him.
Of course, to take a step back, this is not something that people in the world should have to face...
At this moment, among the people present, there is only one person who should face this monster and deal with it, and that person's name is Huang Donglai.
Wawushan, a disciple of Xuanqi Sect, Huang Donglai.
