“Heh… Before we lose our temper, put away your little toys and get out!”
“You’re nothing but a lecherous thief, unworthy to stain our swords with blood!”
“A little toy???” Although he knew these lunatics were talking about his short knife, Tian Boguang was instantly furious when he heard this.
When did my dagger become so looked down upon by people in the martial arts world?
“Hmph, I’m afraid my little toy… will take your lives! Do you dare to fight me?” Tian Boguang pointed his knife at a effeminate young man dressed in white.
He realized that this guy must be the leader of this group, and he wanted to challenge the leader!
Tian Boguang has been feeling very depressed lately.
Once upon a time, he was a notorious womanizer in the martial arts world, a near-first-rate master (according to his own assessment, many others would agree)… But just because he recently went into seclusion for a while, and when he returned to the martial arts world, intending to stir up trouble again, establish a fearsome reputation, and once again shake the martial arts world… he suddenly realized that times had changed!
The world has changed!
Damn it… In the martial arts world, I don’t know when, a large number of eunuchs have appeared, each of them wielding the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, and they’re incredibly fierce… My fast sword can’t even gain an advantage against the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique. Those eunuchs’ fast swords are even faster than mine. Even when fighting with ordinary martial artists… I find it difficult, let alone those who have achieved minor mastery… It seems that overnight, I’ve gone from near first-rate to second-rate… oh no… third-rate.
So, I spent a year in seclusion and it was all for nothing?
The decline in his standing in the underworld displeased Tian Boguang. His womanizing business also began to suffer repeated setbacks.
Because those eunuchs… damn it… they’re so strange. They’re already eunuchs, yet they still interfere with the behavior of a womanizer, talking about upholding justice and acting on behalf of Heaven.
I really don’t understand. You’re a eunuch, why do you care about the few inches on someone else’s body?
I don’t know if it was because he castrated himself and became jealous of others who were full of life, or what, but he insisted on stopping Xiaotian from picking flowers.
And so, flower thieves like Tian Boguang became universally hated in the martial arts world… and Tian Boguang, as the king of flower thieves, suffered even more, almost becoming the public enemy of the martial arts world… oh no… the public enemy of all eunuchs.
Tian Boguang was speechless.
What the hell did I do to deserve this? Why are you all targeting me like this?!
I was just picking flowers, I didn’t pick any of your eunuchs… Do you have to keep harping on me?
Is it wrong for me, Tian, to be capable?
This is also why Tian Boguang has been feeling that everything is going wrong lately, and his temper has become increasingly volatile, making him easily angered.
A few days ago, I finally met a stunningly beautiful young nun, and I was hoping to have some fun with her to relieve the stress I’d been feeling lately. But… out of nowhere, another unexpected obstacle appeared.
However, Linghu Chong was the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect and had not cultivated the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Moreover, his character and personality suited Tian Boguang’s tastes very well. In addition, he had recently heard some things about the Huashan Sword Sect, so Tian Boguang decisively chose to give him face. As a result… damn it, he ran into this group of dead eunuchs again.
This time, Tian Boguang couldn’t stand it anymore. Not wanting to lose face in front of his newly sworn brother Linghu Chong, he decided to teach this group a lesson.
No matter what sect or background you belong to, I, Grandpa Tian, am going to teach you a lesson!
“Haha…who does he think he is? A flower thief who plays with a knife dares to challenge us?”
When Tian Boguang announced his challenge, everyone around laughed, as if watching a monkey show.
Tian Boguang was furious and embarrassed, feeling that his self-esteem had been greatly insulted.
Linghu Chong had mainly stayed on the mountain and had never come into contact with these madmen who practiced swordsmanship by castrating themselves, so he was not very clear about the current state of the martial arts world. Therefore, he told them, as a like-minded brother of Tian Boguang, not to be ungrateful and to leave obediently, and not to try to challenge Tian Boguang, the Lone Wanderer.
Linghu Chong’s perception of the martial arts world was still that of the past. As the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect, he was at least a second-rate figure in the martial arts world. Tian Boguang, on the other hand, was definitely a near-first-rate figure, comparable to the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan. He was not someone that ordinary people in the martial arts world could easily provoke.
This directly provoked public outrage. After Chi Baicheng of the Taishan Sect recognized Linghu Chong and exposed his identity, an eerie silence descended upon the entire Huiyan Tower.
“Brother Chi, you’re not joking, are you? This guy is Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect. How is that possible? How could he be so close to a lecherous scoundrel like Tian Boguang, calling him brother? I’ve fought with Lady Yue of Huashan before, and I greatly admire her character and martial arts. I also have the utmost respect for the Huashan Sword Sect. How could the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect be such a person?”
Although Chi Baicheng was also a disciple of the Taishan Sect, he ultimately chose to castrate himself to practice swordsmanship. After all, he was a Taoist priest who had long since become a monk and had little desire left. Therefore, the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was a great temptation for people like him.
During his visit to Hengshan City, Chi Baicheng quickly made friends with a group of like-minded people. They even established the Evil-Repelling Sword Pavilion, agreeing to exchange skills and techniques with each other, and to uphold justice in the martial arts world together.
Because of the legendary battle between Chu Yunfei, the Evil-Repelling Prince, and the previous battle near Hengshan, these people had developed a good impression of the Huashan Sword Sect and Lady Yue. So when they learned that Linghu Chong, the senior brother of the Huashan Sword Sect, was actually such a degenerate person who willingly associated with tyranny, they felt as if their favorite idol had suddenly collapsed, and found it very difficult to accept.
Chi Baicheng, a disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, stepped forward and angrily accused Linghu Chong: “Linghu Chong, you are unworthy of being the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect. You are actually fraternizing with someone like Tian Boguang. Get out of the way and don’t tarnish the reputation that your Huashan Sword Sect has worked so hard to build over hundreds of years and discredit your master, Gentleman Sword.”
“Kid, you’re asking for death!” Tian Boguang and Linghu Chong were indeed the same kind of people in some ways. Besides being selfish, they both valued the so-called “brotherhood” and were ten times angrier than if they were insulted themselves. They were typical people who judged others by their personalities rather than the issue at hand.
As long as you’re to my liking, even if you’re the most heinous criminal, I’ll still treat you like a brother.
