Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 652: Sword Demon Xie Chong

When Lin Yu heard Chen Yuanye's tone, he knew that he had an unexpected gain.

"I originally planned to come here to investigate the strangeness of Chenjiabao, but it seems I accidentally found out about the remains of the body that the escort team was transporting?"

After all, Chen Yuanye's tone sounded as if he knew something.

Therefore, Lin Yu asked Chen Yuanye again without any expression.

"Yes, it's a body with most of its chest attached to its left arm, and it really looks alive," Lin Yu nodded slightly. "Could it be that you know where the body came from?"

Chen Yuanye's face was solemn as he looked at Lin Yu: "Junior sister, don't you know... This should be the remains of a top master."

"Master once told me that it's rumored that some martial arts masters who have reached the level of twelve guan and are able to establish their own schools have extremely strong Qi and blood, so much so that even after their limbs are severed and separated from their bodies, they still seem alive."

"There's even a legend that if one reaches the pinnacle of martial arts and dies in combat, their body can remain intact for a hundred years, their vital energy and blood continuing to exist like a living person!"

Lin Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.

"But they were both masters of martial arts, reaching the pinnacle of their skill. How could they be beaten to death?"

"Of course he was beaten up or... killed by another top master," Chen Yuanye said seriously. "Besides, since they hired a special escort team to escort him, and it's just a left arm... I might be able to guess who it was."

Lin Yu crossed his arms over his chest: "Why, do you know him?"

"Ahem, how could I possibly know such a person? I just heard a rumor in a teahouse or restaurant a few years ago," Chen Yuanye said in a deep voice, "The owner of this left arm is very likely the 'Sword Demon' Xie Chong who died two years ago."

"Who is that?"

Lin Yu asked directly.

"Xie Chong, don't you know?"

Chen Yuanye looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

"I don't care about these things. Besides...isn't he dead?"

Lin Yu said lightly.

Because Lin Yu's performance was so perfect, when Chen Yuanye heard Lin Yu's words, he not only did not become suspicious, but instead showed an expression of admiration.

"Junior sister, you really are pure-hearted... However, Xie Chong is indeed a character, and it wouldn't hurt to learn more about his story."

"Twenty-five years ago, a swordsmanship prodigy emerged from the Xuanjiang Martial Arts School. Yu Hanyu challenged the most outstanding young disciples from twelve martial arts schools, gaining widespread fame. The following year, he slew two demons, one eight- and one nine-stem, from the Shayu... By then, everyone who practiced swordsmanship knew that a genius named Xie Chong had emerged from nowhere among their peers!"

"Everyone envies Xuanjiang Martial Arts School, speculating that they might be able to become a top-tier martial arts school thanks to the talented young people they have!"

"But no one could have imagined... just a few years later, twenty years ago, the entire Xuanjiang Martial Arts School, from the headmaster to the newest disciples, even the guard dog, would be slaughtered. And the one who did all this... was none other than the pride of Xuanjiang Martial Arts School, Xie Chong!"

"Some say he's obtained a mysterious sword technique, and that he needs to kill to enter the Tao, but ended up being possessed by demons. Others say he's obtained a magic sword, and that he needs the blood of someone he cherishes to sacrifice it. Still others say he's originally a demon in disguise, and now his ferocity is no longer suppressed..."

"In short, within just a few days, the name of the Sword Demon Xie Chong spread throughout the Two Mountains and Six Prisons - anyone who practices martial arts in the right way is entitled to kill him."

"Indeed, some people went to surround and kill Xie Chong... but, despite holding ten, eleven, and even twelve strings of cash, they were all defeated by him."

"Not only that, Xie Chong even took the initiative to find people to kill. It seems that he is really practicing magic skills and refining the magic sword. The more he kills, the stronger he becomes."

"Huanglong Martial Arts School, Tianyi Martial Arts School, Qianshan Martial Arts School... many first-class martial arts schools have lost disciples," Chen Yuanye said, his tone more respectful. "Although I haven't experienced it myself, I have heard from my master that during that period, every morning, we could hear the tragic news that famous warriors had been killed by Xie Chong!"

"For a time, Xie Chong's name was even more hated than demons."

"So, nine top-tier martial arts schools united together and set an ambush in the town of Sand Prison to ambush the Sword Demon."

"Twelve masters went to battle, and three of them were killed... and the Blade Demon Xie Chong escaped gravely injured. Although they failed to kill him, they did cripple his right hand."

"After that, the Sword Demon Xie Chong disappeared for a long time. Until five years ago, he reappeared, having mastered a left-handed sword that was even more fierce than before, and sought revenge on those who had besieged him."

"For three years, he haunted the mountains like a ghost, a wandering demon in human form, attacking martial artists. The masters who attacked him back then have now become pillars of the martial arts academy, even leaders, with their own disciples and descendants. Xie Chong targeted their younger generations."

"Those nine highly respected masters were able to hold their composure at first, but eventually lost patience and took the initiative to search for Xie Chong."

"And at this time, Xie Chong took the initiative to send visiting cards to all nine families at the same time—he even took the initiative to challenge these nine families to battle."

"The location... is at the former site of the Xuanjiang Martial Arts School."

"When the time came, nine masters, at least those with twelve strings of cash, and even three at the Grandmaster level, agreed to go."

"The former Xuanjiang Martial Arts School has become a ruin inhabited by demons. That day, Xie Chong cleared out all the demons in the school, built a fighting arena with the corpses and bones of the demons, and quietly awaited the arrival of nine masters."

"There were many people from the martial arts world watching at the time. Even the four major sects sent people. They just thought Xie Chong was tired of running away and wanted to settle the grudge and give himself a decent death. But no one expected..."

"Xie Chong won that battle."

"Of the nine masters, seven died and two were injured—the two injured were even seriously injured and unconscious."

"Everyone then realized that the Sword Demon Xie Chong had actually reached the realm of supreme martial arts!"

"Then, Xie Chong, blinded by rage, launched a murderous spree against everyone present."

Lin Yu nodded slightly when he heard this: "I see... Then why did he die, and... became a broken body?"

When Chen Yuanye heard Lin Yu ask this, there was a hint of yearning in his tone.

"It's because at the critical moment, another person at the pinnacle of martial arts took action!"

"He's said to be a worshiper of the Taiqing Sect, a martial arts legend who has lived for a hundred years, and a top master known as the 'Guest in the Mountains.'"

"That mountain dweller mobilized his energy and transmitted his voice over a thousand miles, leading the Sword Demon Xie Chong to an uninhabited mountain area a hundred miles away. The two Grandmasters fought with all their might for a full six hours! The mountains and fields shook, and the earth trembled!"

"After six hours, the noise finally stopped!"

"When people arrived at the site of the final confrontation, they found Xie Chong's body shattered into five pieces on the ground!"
