Legend of Swordsman

Lying on the wooden bed, both of them fell into silence.

Jian Wushuang recalled his own experiences and then turned to look at Xiang Yang.

He couldn’t be sure if the other person was still of any use.

If not, he would leave alone tomorrow.

But he was also worried that if Xing Luo came back to look for Xiang Yang, he would miss a great opportunity.

On the path of cultivation, he had never been afraid. As long as someone guided him, with his talent and determination, he could quickly become the pinnacle of this great world.

There was no way he would lead an unremarkable life.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, “Xiang Yang, do you plan to stay at this dock for the rest of your life?”

“What else?” Xiang Yang replied in a resigned tone, with a piece of straw in his mouth and a vacant look in his eyes.

As a scion of a family, he had never gone through the mundane times.

Nor had he faced many setbacks.

All along, he had cultivated to become immortal, seeking to become a god.

He had endless opportunities given to him.

Now encountering such a situation, having some awareness was already good enough.

But what Jian Wushuang did not expect was that Xiang Yang suddenly sat up, his eyes focused, staring at him heavily, and said, “Jian Wushuang, are you planning to escape?”

This question made Jian Wushuang frown, but he did not deny it and nodded silently.

“Really?”

“Heh, Xiang Yang, do you think I enjoy carrying sacks?” Jian Wushuang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He suddenly felt that the other party was too naive, thinking that his lack of resistance and daily labor meant he had integrated into this place.

But how could that be?

He had cultivated for so long, with countless people’s expectations. How could he degrade himself to carry sacks?

If this got out, it would be a laughingstock for many.

Whether on the Realm God Continent or in the Northern Spacetime, many people looked up to him.

With such blessings, Jian Wushuang could not possibly bow down in this small place.

Hearing his firm voice, Xiang Yang’s tone lowered significantly.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about how to escape for a long time, just afraid you wouldn’t dare!”

“Not dare? Let me tell you, I’ve been through many of these mundane worlds, but every time I win. This time won’t be an exception. I swear that once I leave this world, I will smash it to pieces!” Jian Wushuang said through gritted teeth.

This wretched place that shielded his mind was definitely not simple.

But no matter whose scheme it was, if it was against him, he would not hold back.

“Haha, I thought you were giving up. Didn’t expect you to think the same as me. Sooner or later, we’ll leave this damned place. And before I go, I plan to destroy this dock!” Xiang Yang said excitedly.

Destroy the dock?

This revealed the difference between the two. Jian Wushuang wanted to destroy this world.

Xiang Yang wanted to destroy the dock that had caused him so much pain to vent his resentment.

“The plan, then. With so many people at the dock, we can’t do it alone!” Jian Wushuang shook his head and advised, “As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Our top priority is to leave here first!”

“No, I can’t just sneak away. You don’t know how that madman Yang tortured me. I won’t leave just like this; I must kill him!” Xiang Yang clenched his fists.

Yang Madman was the supervisor of the dock.

He was different from Hu San.

Hu San was the leader of the dock workers. Although he didn’t have to do manual labor, his power wasn’t as great as Yang Madman’s.

Currently, this dock was led by Master Liu, with his two capable assistants being Yang Madman and Hu San.

Hu San was simple-minded and kind-hearted, earning the respect of many dock workers.

But Yang Madman was different.

He often tormented some of the workers.

Even if they weren’t slacking off, if he didn’t like the look of someone, they would still get whipped.

After the whipping, it was best to act normal and continue carrying sacks; otherwise, he would hit even harder until the worker was severely injured.

Then he would throw them into the shed to fend for themselves.

So all the workers at the dock feared him, but they dared not speak out against him.

If they were lucky, Liu Susu would intervene; if not, they would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Jian Wushuang had also suffered under him, but fortunately, he had strong willpower.

Unlike Xiang Yang, who was beaten until he curled up on the ground.

No matter what, Jian Wushuang had once been a super strong person and could not be frightened by mere mortals.

“Destroying the dock is difficult, but if you want revenge, I can help you kill Yang Madman!” Jian Wushuang’s voice carried a hint of murderous intent.

Yang Madman’s body wasn’t particularly burly.

He was only seven feet tall.

Both Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang were eight feet tall. Although not as tall as the nine-foot Hu San, dealing with a Yang Madman was easy.

Especially with a sneak attack.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yang’s eyes showed unwillingness. He also wanted to kill Master Liu.

The greatest demon of this dock.

He regarded human lives as nothing.

He was also Liu Susu’s adoptive father.

Jian Wushuang hadn’t expected Xiang Yang to have such a heavy killing intent and was a bit worried that he might go astray even before starting his path of cultivation.

After all, it took great courage to cultivate again.

Jian Wushuang wasn’t afraid because he had experienced it and was very experienced.

But Xiang Yang was different!

In the future, he would certainly be a burden.

But now he was still useful, and he might attract Xing Luo.

So he couldn’t give up.

For now, Jian Wushuang agreed to give it a try.

As for escaping tomorrow, he hadn’t mentioned it.

Because he wasn’t planning to escape alone.

That night, the two discussed their next steps.

They decided to find an opportunity within three days to kill Yang Madman and then force Master Liu.

As long as they dealt with these two, the dock workers wouldn’t resist because they were already numb; to them, it would just be a change of rulers.

But before doing all this, they needed to deal with one person.

And that was Hu San.

Because even if they killed Master Liu, the dock workers would just turn to Hu San.

If Hu San didn’t let them go, they would still be besieged and killed.

Jian Wushuang, with his mortal body, could handle seven or eight, but more than that, he couldn’t manage.

So with Hu San, they had to use their wits.

It was laughable.

Once upon a time, he could break through the Nine Provinces with a single sword, traverse the universe with one breath.

The man with the sword could shatter the skies and charge through the cosmos.

But now!

He had to use his brain against a mere mortal brute.

Thinking of this, a wave of drowsiness hit, and Jian Wushuang fell into a deep sleep.

In his dreams, he saw scenes from the past.

But when he woke up, it was a living hell for him.

In his daze, he saw a figure in his dream.

The figure had its back to him, but it had a thousand attracting powers, making him want to go forward.

But at this moment, he felt his legs twisting uncontrollably into a knot, no matter how he tried to walk forward, he couldn’t break free.

He wanted to shout but couldn’t make a sound.

He could only stare at the figure.

“Who is that?”

The more Jian Wushuang looked, the more familiar it seemed, but he couldn’t remember the person’s name.

In his daze, someone woke him up.

He opened his eyes.

He saw Xiang Yang, who frowned and said in surprise, “Jian Wushuang, did you have a nightmare? Don’t be too tense; they are just some mortals!”
