Chapter 135: The Departure of the Mount Song Yang Iron Sword, and the Arrival of ShangGuan JinHong

Guo SongYang didn't leave slowly, but You LongSheng's light martial arts were also quite remarkable. As for XiMen Rou, there was no need to even mention her; if her light martial arts hadn't been good, she would have died yesterday.

You LongSheng pointed at Guo SongYang, who was in front of them, and said to XiMen Rou, "Look, you just wanted to retire from the JiangHu after one loss, but now Guo SongYang has lost too, and he's not talking about retiring from the JiangHu either. It's no wonder that his ranking is higher than yours; his mindset is just better than yours."

XiMen Rou was speechless. The 'Weapon Spectrum' ranking wasn't based on one's mindset.

You LongSheng said, "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in the military. You must have the right mindset. Take the example of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu; Liu Bang lost to Xiang Yu in every one of their ten battles, but in the end, he still managed to surround Xiang Yu at Gaixia and established the Han Dynasty?"

Guo SongYang stopped in his tracks and let out a mocking laugh, "Li XunHuan is not Xiang Yu."

You LongSheng nodded, "Indeed, Xiang Yu had an army of a hundred thousand and was known as the Hegemon King. He left his mark in history and had his story recorded in the historical annals. Li XunHuan, with his flowery words, probably can't achieve that."

Guo SongYang, "..."

Guo SongYang turned around, and the desolate expression on his face had disappeared without a trace. With a calm expression, he said, "If you're here to comfort me, there's no need. I'm not as fragile as you imagine."

"Who said I was here to comfort you?" You LongSheng asked.

Guo SongYang frowned, "Then why are you here?"

"In your fight with Li XunHuan, you were too anxious." You LongSheng answered a different question, "Deep down, you are very apprehensive of Li XunHuan's throwing knives. That's why when you fought, your mind was entirely focused on the knives in his hands, and you were determined to force him into a situation where he wouldn't have a chance to use them."

Guo SongYang's expression turned ugly.

"But it's clear that his martial arts are not just limited to throwing knives." You LongSheng smiled, "When he made an unexpected move, you became even more anxious and ended up exposing more flaws."

These flaws, when facing ordinary people, were of course not a problem. They wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity, and they might not even be able to see these flaws.

But Li XunHuan was different. Even Guo SongYang knew that each flaw he exposed was enough for Li XunHuan to kill him once.

That was why he admitted defeat.

"So I'm not here to comfort you, but to give you some advice." You LongSheng smiled, "If your sword isn't stable enough, you might not live to see the day I challenge you."

Guo SongYang's eyes lit up, and then he laughed.

You LongSheng's visit was to comfort, remind, and encourage him.

Although he might not necessarily need it, Guo SongYang, who had just experienced failure for the first time in his decades of life, still felt a rare sense of warmth.

"Rest assured, besides Li XunHuan, no one in this world can kill me." Guo SongYang said arrogantly.

You LongSheng blinked, "Really? What about ShangGuan JinHong and Jing WuMing, who are always by your side?"

Guo SongYang turned and walked away, "I'm going to find a woman. Do you want to come along?"

You LongSheng raised his eyebrows, "Can't you talk quietly about this?"

...

Guo SongYang left, but XiMen Rou stayed.

"What you said is right. I really don't need to retire from the JiangHu." XiMen Rou smiled, "I still need to attend your wedding with Ding GuNiang."

Ding BaiYun smiled happily, "We will definitely send you an invitation."

"That's right." You LongSheng said, "Don't compare yourself to those peerless geniuses. Think about your own advantages. At least Li XunHuan and Guo SongYang definitely can't play with whips as well as you, right?"

XiMen Rou glanced at You LongSheng, "Can you find another way to comfort me? Why don't you make them compete with women in childbirth instead?"

"They definitely can't beat women in that." You LongSheng said, "Forget about competing with women in childbirth, even if they competed with women in embroidery, I guess they would have to admit defeat."

Ding BaiYun glared at You LongSheng from the side, "Are you insinuating something about me?"

XiMen Rou quickly changed the subject, "But Li XunHuan killed Tang Du and Yan Shuangfei, and Guo SongYang killed Zhuge Gang and Gao Xingkong. The Gold and Money Gang has suffered heavy losses, and ShangGuan JinHong will not let this go."

Although killing these four people was as easy as eating and drinking for Li XunHuan and Guo SongYang, these individuals were top-notch experts in the martial arts world. Just look at how the crowd cowered at the sight of the copper coin on the table, too afraid to even think of resisting.

This was not only because of the unmatched might of the Gold and Money Gang but also because they knew the prowess of the people before them, understanding that any resistance would be futile.

"Never mind them," You LongSheng said, "I recall that you also killed one of the Gold and Money Gang's hall masters in GuanZhong, didn't you?"

"He deserved to die!" XiMen Rou snorted.

The man she killed might not have been on the 'Weapon Spectrum', but he was a rising star in the martial arts world in recent years, not far behind Gao Xingkong and Yan Shuangfei. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to lead a hall and preside over a region by himself.

Ding BaiYun looked at XiMen Rou and, thinking of the Gold and Money Gang's usual style of doing things, shook her head and sighed, "The Gold and Money Gang has really offended too many people."

"That's why they've run into a tough nut to crack, huh?" You LongSheng said, pointing at XiMen Rou.

XiMen Rou shook her head and sighed, "What kind of tough nut am I? After seeing Li XunHuan and Guo SongYang in action, I realized just how big the gap between me and ShangGuan JinHong really is. I doubt I could last ten moves against him."

"Be more confident," You LongSheng smiled, "drop the 'I doubt' from your vocabulary."

XiMen Rou stiffened at his words and tried to save face, "Well, that's not necessarily true. If I only defended and didn't attack, I could definitely hold out for more than ten moves."

Now it was You LongSheng's turn to be speechless.

XiMen Rou's light martial arts were unparalleled, and she wielded a three-zhang-long whip. If she focused solely on defense, ShangGuan JinHong might not be able to defeat her in a short period of time.

After all, she was ranked seventh on the 'Weapon Spectrum' and wasn't just some ordinary martial artist.

"But Li XunHuan and Guo SongYang are definitely tough nuts," You LongSheng said, "If ShangGuan JinHong and Jing WuMing were to fight Li XunHuan and Guo SongYang, who do you think would win?"

XiMen Rou was truly stumped for an answer this time, but she had a question, "Jing WuMing is a young expert who has only emerged in the past two years. Although rumors in the martial arts world say that his sword techniques are swift and his moves ruthless, can he really get involved in a fight between ShangGuan JinHong, Li XunHuan, and Guo SongYang?"

"He can," You LongSheng said, "Even if he's not as good as Guo SongYang, he's not far behind either."

XiMen Rou exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible?"

She had just witnessed Guo SongYang's sword techniques, and although he had lost to Li XunHuan, his swordplay was already at the pinnacle. Moreover, he was experienced, steady, and solid. What kind of young person could possibly match up to him?

In XiMen Rou's opinion, You LongSheng, who was standing before her, was already at the pinnacle of youth, not far behind herself. However, compared to Guo SongYang, there was still a noticeable gap.

"It's very possible," You LongSheng said, pointing to the entrance of the small town, "Just take a look and you'll know."

They had arrived at a small town outside of Baoding Mansion, chasing after Guo SongYang. After he left, they found a restaurant in the small town and sat down for a meal.

As dusk approached, a team of men in yellow clothes entered the small town. However, they did not stay, seemingly on their way to Baoding.

The group of yellow-clad men was not large, with two in front, two in the back, and two in the middle.

But XiMen Rou only needed one glance at the two in the middle to know that she dared not look any further.
