Seeing this, Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and gently waved his folding fan, saying, "Yang Xiao, since you haven't made up your mind yet, then wait until you've thought it through before asking again."
"Li is now about to begin his casual talk at the storytelling venue."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao bowed and took his leave, realizing he really needed to think this matter over carefully.
After persuading Yang Xiao to leave, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Last time at the storytelling event, I was preoccupied with some trivial matters."
"That's why the Sword God Ranking wasn't fully reviewed. Today, I, Li, will announce the remaining two on the Sword God Ranking."
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone perked up.
Yan Shisan's Fifteen Deadly Swords were already the limit of everyone's imagination; no one could think of any swordsman who could rank above Yan Shisan.
No one could imagine what kind of swordsmanship could be more powerful than the Fifteen Deadly Swords.
"Yan Nantian, ranked second on the Great Ming Sword God Ranking!"
Upon hearing this name, everyone felt both unfamiliar and familiar.
Yan Nantian, the number one swordsman in the martial arts world.
Back then, Jiang Feng mysteriously disappeared because of the Jiang Feng tragedy, and rumors circulated in the martial arts world that he had been killed by Yaoyue of Yihua Palace.
It is precisely because of this that the newly crowned Sword God, Ximen Chuixue, has the opportunity to rise to power.
Unexpectedly, he was still alive after being missing for more than ten years.
""
It's unfair. Why can others survive after being missing for more than ten years, while our leader died after being missing for more than ten years?
The crowd sighed at the fact that Yan Nantian was still alive, and then their eyes instantly lit up with a burning desire for gossip.
Everyone knows that the greatest swordsman in the martial arts world and the most handsome man in the martial arts world are good brothers.
Everyone knows that Yaoyue of Yihua Palace and Jiang Feng, the most handsome man in the martial arts world, have a secret they can't tell each other.
So now the question is, if Mr. Li knows whether Yan Nantian is alive or dead, does he know about the Jiang Feng tragedy from back then?
The relationship between Yaoyue and Mr. Li is self-evident; even a blind person would know.
There's a melon in here!
Li Chengqian ignored the stares of the onlookers below and continued speaking to himself.
"Yan Nantian is known as the number one swordsman in the martial arts world and the number one hero in the martial arts world."
"If there is anyone in the world who can say that he has a clear conscience, then it is probably only the great hero Yan Nantian."
"Throughout his life, he lived a life that was neither ashamed before Heaven nor before man."
"He was born with extraordinary martial arts skills, was blessed with exceptional talent, and possessed unparalleled comprehension. He could learn any martial art in no time and master it in a short time."
"Having no sword in your hand is better than having one. No matter how stubborn the iron is, once it's in your hand, it becomes a sharp weapon that can cut through iron like mud."
"His self-created Divine Sword Technique is expansive and powerful, while his Southern Heaven Divine Fist is unparalleled."
"At the same time, he also practiced the Wedding Dress Divine Skill of the Martial Arts Zen Sect."
"Although Yan Nantian did not specialize in swordsmanship, I should not have placed him on the Sword God Ranking."
"But the Divine Sword Technique was too amazing, and Yan Nantian also integrated fist techniques and sword techniques."
"After comprehensive consideration, we have placed him second on the Sword God Ranking."
(chbc)
After saying that, Li Chengqian picked up his teacup and drank some tea.
Everyone was in a daze.
If we're talking about who among the top sword masters has the most amazing talent, then it has to be Fang Baoyu, the prodigy among swordsmen.
But now, the upper limit of genius in everyone's eyes has been refreshed again.
A wandering swordsman swallowed hard and laughed awkwardly.
"Hero Yan Nantian is truly extraordinary, managing to rank second on the Sword God List."
"The Southern Heaven Divine Fist and the Wedding Dress Divine Skill are both unparalleled martial arts!"
"Yeah!"
"The Wedding Dress Divine Skill, Martial Arts, and Zen Sect must be the best martial arts techniques in the world."
Everyone was praising Yan Nantian's Wedding Dress Divine Skill, but no one mentioned Yan Nantian's Divine Sword Technique.
It seems that Yan Nantian's inclusion on the Sword God Ranking is all thanks to the Wedding Dress Divine Skill.
“Mr. Li, if Master Yan didn’t have the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and the Southern Heaven Divine Fist…”
"Where would he rank based solely on the Divine Sword Technique?"
Ah Fei walked out of the room full of fighting spirit and asked a question. Everyone's face twitched when they heard Ah Fei's question.
Kid, you deserve a beating!
Can't you see that we haven't brought up this issue?
The Divine Sword Technique is clearly on par with the Southern Heaven Divine Fist; it's already quite impressive for someone to specialize in just one martial art.
Yan Nantian not only knows three types, but two of them are his own creations.
What's even more infuriating is that any one of them can easily rank in the top ten. You know how discouraging that is?
If he's so capable, doesn't that make us look like useless people?
Seeing Afei's excited expression, Li Chengqian smiled slightly.
"Yan Nantian's Divine Sword Technique is indeed amazing, but without the support of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and the Southern Heaven Divine Fist, his strength would naturally decline."
"I estimate that his ranking will have to be switched with Yan Shisan's, and he can only be ranked third."
""
Ha ha!
"Weak!" Even with most of its strength cut off, it can only rank among the top three in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Chengqian's words plunged everyone into self-doubt, except for the few pure swordsmen in the inn who were full of fighting spirit.
Everyone else instantly felt like they were worthless.
Room No. 2, Class 1 (Tianzi)
Yaoyue clenched her fists, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.
She kept asking herself the same question: Was she good enough for Mr. Li?
As Dongfang Bubai said, although she had killed countless people, she was still pure and innocent.
But her own body was already tainted; she had once been attracted to a man, and now she was attracted to him again.
How could I possibly be worthy of the words "pure and immaculate"?
Thinking of this, Yaoyue couldn't circulate her inner energy properly, and a trace of blood immediately spilled from her mouth.
Seeing this, Lianxing rushed forward to show her concern, but Yaoyue pushed Lianxing away stubbornly.
"Mr. Li, what are your thoughts on the Jiang Feng family massacre case from back then?"
Chapter 253 The Grandmaster Ranking is Released, Ouyang Feng's Martial Arts Are Crippled
The list of 255 Grandmasters has been released, and Ouyang Feng's martial arts have been crippled.
Yaoyue's words surprised everyone.
Why did she specifically ask Mr. Li to comment on the Jiang Feng tragedy from back then?
Li Chengqian looked at Room No. 1, the top-tier room. Given Yaoyue's personality, she would actually bring up her past.
This was quite unexpected.
"Palace Mistress Yaoyue, are you sure you want me to comment on the Jiang Feng family massacre from back then?"
"If that's the case, I'll tell you everything that happened back then."
"The more detailed the better. I'd really like to see what kind of person I am in Mr. Li's eyes."
Yaoyue's voice remained devoid of any emotion, as always; no one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
"Alright, Jiang Feng's family massacre is indeed quite interesting, so let's tentatively make it the topic for the next issue of our miscellaneous discussion."
Although Li Chengqian's tone was calm, many onlookers sensed a strong gossip in it.
Everyone:? ? ?
I've made up my mind. For the next storytelling session, I'll crawl here no matter what.
Having decided on one of the topics for the next episode of his miscellaneous talk, Li Chengqian waved his folding fan and didn't ramble on.
He said directly, "Next, let's talk about the Grandmaster Ranking of the Great Song Dynasty."
Upon hearing the words "Grandmaster Ranking," all the martial arts enthusiasts in the inn perked up their ears.
People in the martial arts world value face above all else, and for the sake of face, too many people are constantly comparing themselves to others.
Comparing weapons, agility, and internal energy...
In short, people in the martial arts world will compare anything that can be compared.
In contrast, previously, apart from the "Weapon Ranking" by the all-knowing Jianghu scholar, there were other similar works.
There were no more standards to refer to, and rumors were circulating in the martial arts world that Bai Xiaosheng's weapon ranking was inaccurate.
Now things are different; Bai Xiaosheng's "Weapon Ranking" can no longer be a topic of conversation among martial arts enthusiasts.
The Peaceful Sword Immortal is the true standard for ranking strength in the martial arts world, because what Mr. Li said is accurate.
Countless people have already proven this with their blood and lives.
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with eager eyes, but Li Chengqian spoke slowly and deliberately.
"In ranking the Grandmasters, not only is the level of internal strength a hard standard, but their physical strength is also a standard."
"If someone can defeat a stronger opponent with a weaker one, then he can also enter the Grandmaster Ranking."
"For example, although Ximen Chuixue is only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, he can kill some Grandmaster-level experts who are of a higher level."
