On the beach on the east coast of Xizhou Island, Mu Tianze, dressed in ragged clothes, lay on his back in a deep sand pit, staring blankly at the blue sky.

He never thought that he would be defeated so completely. Even if he was caught by Liu Yike, at least he had seriously injured her. But at this moment, Liu Anchen stood calmly on the edge of the sand pit, even inadvertently

He yawned in the meantime, as if this duel was even more boring to him than yesterday.

After a long time, Liu Anchen asked Mu Tianze, who was lying deep in the sand pit: "Your injury will recover in about three days. Do you still need to fight after three days?"

When Mu Tianze heard these words, his out-of-focus eyes finally regained their luster, and he said with certainty: "I'll try again in three days."

"Easy to say." Liu Anchen had nothing else to say and walked away.

Mu Tianze was still lying at the bottom of the pit, not because of his injuries that prevented him from getting up on his own, but simply because he was recalling the move Liu Anchen used to defeat him. It was clearly not a sword skill, but a boxing skill, so he was left on the beach.

Such a circular pit is not the ravines in the distance that were plowed by sword energy yesterday.

He suddenly realized that the title "Sword Master" might no longer be enough to represent Liu Anchen's martial arts. Liu Anchen was a true martial artist.

Although he gained something from the two challenges yesterday and today, these gains were not enough for him to accumulate enough experience to defeat Liu Anchen, and even made him more aware of the considerable gap between himself and his opponent.

However, Mu Tianze still has no regrets about going to Xizhou Island to challenge Liu Anchen. His pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts has exceeded his desire for anything else. As long as Liu Anchen doesn't mind the trouble, he plans to continue challenging like this, even forever.

There will never be a day of victory.

He will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance. After fighting against Liu Anchen, Mu Tianze became even more disdainful of Chen Lin's world. The ten evil people who were once as famous as him were just ant-like characters. If we talk about that world

If there is any opponent worthy of his attention, it must be Liu Yike.

But the last time he saw Liu Yike in Xihuang, he knew that the fierce and unparalleled sect leader was no longer there. Although he had thought several times in prison that if he could escape, he would be cut into pieces to repay the humiliation.

revenge, but he has no interest in torturing and killing a girl who is obviously inferior to him.

The tide hit the rocks on the shore and stirred up white waves. Mu Tianze ended his thinking amidst the sound of the tide, and dragged his scarred body out of the sand pit. He slowly came to the reef that was flattened by Liu Anchen's sword.

Sit down cross-legged, meditate, adjust your breath and heal your injuries, while looking at the vast sea.

When he was hungry, he ate a few fish and crabs that had been stranded on the beach by the low tide. When he was sleepy, he lay down on the rocks and slept. He waited like this for three days.

Three days later, Liu Anchen arrived as promised. This time he came empty-handed and without a sword.

Mu Tianze no longer asked him why he didn't bring a sword. For Liu Anchen, whether he had a sword or not was no longer a question.

"Is the injury healed?" Liu Anchen asked.

"alright."

This time the confrontation lasted longer than the previous two combined, but the result remained unchanged. Mu Tianze was smashed into a deep pit again, while Liu Anchen remained unscathed.

"If you progress at this rate, you can be evenly matched with me without a sword in about three years, and you can fight with me with a sword in five years."

"I can defeat you in ten or twenty years!"

"I will be an old man in ten or twenty years." Liu Anchen smiled and shook his head, "Many people can defeat me. No matter how hard you practice martial arts to make your body strong, it cannot change the natural principles of birth, aging, illness and death. This is

The way of heaven is eternal.”

Mu Tianze was stunned. Only then did he realize that the man in front of him, who was truly the number one in the world, was no longer young, and would also grow old. For a moment, he couldn't accept that if a peerless master like Liu Anchen wasn't

To be defeated in an upright manner at the peak of his powers, and to be replaced by a younger man after he has grown old and twilight, is not at all in line with the martial arts in his heart.

He was still in a daze, and Liu Anchen continued: "Today is the last time you and I fight, Mu Tianze, I am leaving Xizhou Island."

"You want to go back to Chenlin?"

Liu Anchen looked at the sea in front of him and said: "I want to go to Yunlu on the other side. Maybe there is a martial arts peak worthy of my pursuit."

"Because there is no opponent for you in the entire Central Continent?" Mu Tianze vaguely understood in his heart that he must have been defeated too easily by him, which made Liu Anchen look down on the entire Central Continent.

"At least not now." Liu Anchen didn't finish his sentence.

Mu Tianze remained silent. He knew that the person Liu Anchen hoped for in his heart was definitely not him. There was nothing surprising about this.

"What if Yunlu has no opponent for you?"

Liu Anchen smiled: "Then maybe I can stop and go back to Wuyue to reopen the dojo and promote the Taichangli of Heaven. After all, my daughter is no longer interested in this matter, and I still have to find a new one.

The heir of."

Mu Tianze nodded, although he felt regretful, but there was nothing he could do about it. After losing to Liu Anchen three times in a row, he was convinced and admitted that he was far from his opponent, and he no longer had the arrogance.

"I lost." He said with difficulty. "It turns out there are people in the world who are far better than me in martial arts. The only regret is that you didn't kill me."

Liu Anchen said calmly: "The philosophy of our sect is not to kill unnecessary people. Since you can't hurt me, what can you do no matter how much malice you have towards me?"

"Is this the way of not killing that Tianli Taichangliu teaches?"

"Martial arts are indeed killing skills, but those who only pursue 'skills' will be inferior. If you want to pursue 'Tao', you should regard any opponent as a friend who can hone yourself further, rather than an enemy. Of course... I

It's about the situation where the other party can't hurt him." Liu Anchen laughed at himself, "Maybe I'm the only one who can think about this calmly."

Mu Tianze asked: "Then when you teach your disciples in the future, will you instill this concept in them?"

"It should be."

"Your daughter is also your disciple, right?" Mu Tianze said. "Back then, when she became the head of the Desolate Sect, she fought fiercely with ten notorious warriors, including each of us. Although each of us was guilty of many evil deeds,

It's pardonable, but she didn't kill any of us."

Liu Anchen was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Then she completely misunderstood the so-called way of not killing. Since each of you has committed evil deeds that are unforgivable, and every battle is a fight to the death, then she doesn't

You should be kind."

"I almost killed her back then." Mu Tianze recalled, "If she was willing to kill me, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult to win. After escaping from the dungeon of the Desolate Sect, the only thing I wanted to do was

Just to find her and take revenge. After listening to this, aren’t you going to kill me before leaving?”

"You are no match for her." Liu Anchen smiled.

Mu Tianze didn't believe it, how could Liu Yike be better than him now?

"If you don't believe it, you can take this to see her." Liu Anchen said and handed him a jade pendant, "But I want to remind you that this is very dangerous and you may die."

Mu Tianze took the jade pendant and looked at it, not finding anything strange: "What is this?"

"This is something left by her mother. You take it to her and tell her that you killed me." Liu Anchen said, "In this way, you will know what my daughter's sword looks like once she becomes serious."
