Some say that wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts, and as long as the desires in people's hearts do not cease, the storms in the world of martial arts will never stop. Therefore, Jiang Chen never believed in absolute peace. At any time, in any place, as long as there are people, there will be grievances and countless storms in the world of martial arts.
Rarely coming to such a high martial arts world, Jiang Chen naturally did not want to miss this great opportunity. His original intention was to use the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu to secretly learn the supreme martial arts techniques of various sects. However, as he delved deeper into the world of martial arts, the more he saw, the more he could not suppress the surge of passion in his heart.
The world of martial arts was vastly different from the previous worlds he had experienced. Various martial arts sects each occupied a territory, controlling the trends of the world. The power of the government had been weakened to the extreme, and even the emperor was called the supreme master of martial arts.
In terms of governing the world, how could martial artists compare to professional politicians? As the saying goes, heroes use their martial arts to break the law. Martial artists, having learned superior martial arts, naturally wanted a superior life. Once they could not suppress their evil thoughts, they would do anything.
The famous and righteous sects were still somewhat better. Although they acted arbitrarily, their strict rules allowed the people to barely survive under their rule. However, under the rule of the evil sects, the situation was vastly different. They levied heavy taxes, bullied men and women, burned, killed, and plundered... They could be described as doing every evil deed. With their high martial arts, the powerless common people were no match for these tigers and wolves. They were either killed and separated from their families or fled to various places.
In addition, there were those who had already committed countless evils and acted lawlessly, such as local bullies and tyrants, who did as they pleased. There were also bandits and villains who gathered in the mountains, considering themselves heroes of the green forest, robbing merchants and tourists, or forming large gangs, specializing in robbery, causing havoc, and earning a notorious reputation, angering both heaven and people.
Faced with such a chaotic world, even though Jiang Chen constantly reminded himself that he was in a high martial arts world with countless martial arts experts, and that he did not have an absolute advantage in martial arts, he knew he had to endure to survive. However, while he could endure, his sword could not. So, after a few days of leisure, he could not help but draw his sword, and the red-scaled sword unleashed a great slaughter.
Those who oppressed the people: kill!
Those who robbed and plundered: kill!
Those who levied heavy taxes: kill!
From the World of Martial Arts, the City of Unparalleled, the Door of Joy, the Black Wind Gang... Once the slaughter began, no matter whether you were a side sect or a famous and righteous sect, whether you were a sect leader or a local bully, as long as you deserved to be killed, if Jiang Chen encountered you, you would be killed without mercy!
Those with low martial arts were killed openly, those with high martial arts were killed secretly, if the hidden weapons failed, he would use poison, if the poison failed, he would use magic. In this aspect, Jiang Chen had no sense of honor. After all, in his eyes, whether you were a great hero or a demon, in the world of martial arts, no one was innocent.
Although it was only a little over a month, after this reckless slaughter, the name "Black-robed Asura Jiang Chen" had already resounded throughout the world of martial arts. However, the consequences of fame were not just glory. It also brought Jiang Chen countless troubles. Some would challenge him out of admiration, but more would come for revenge or for profit!
Looking at the two middle-aged men blocking his path, one in red and one in gray, with their fierce and cold swords and the terrifying killing aura that almost solidified, Jiang Chen almost did not need to guess to know their purpose.
"You want to kill me." He spoke calmly, without any fear or panic, his voice as calm as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself. Having experienced several worlds, he was no longer the novice he once was.
"Indeed." The man in red said indifferently, "Seven days ago, when you destroyed a branch of the World of Martial Arts, you should have known this day would come."
"The World of Martial Arts?" Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then reacted, and with a cold snort, he said, "So, you were sent by Xiong Ba?"
"Exactly." The man in gray sneered, "The Dead Prisoners, by the order of Master Xiong, have come to send you on your way."
"Dead Prisoners? So it's you two. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant in front of me!" If it were others, Jiang Chen might not have known, but these two, he knew very well. They were once the famous Dragon Sword Duo of the martial arts world, later subdued by Xiong Ba and became the Dead Prisoners of the World of Martial Arts. According to the plot of the world, if nothing unexpected happened, a year later, when Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang fought on the top of the Leshan Giant Buddha, they would join Bu Jingyun to抢夺火麟剑和雪饮狂刀。
不得不承认,虽然他们在天下会中的地位尴尬,但是他们的武功还真不差,单单一个囚奴,便可以跟手持火麟剑的断帅斗上二三十回合不败,如今,两人联袂到来,双剑合璧,自然威势更强。
“不过。”虽然明白这两个人的厉害,但江晨显然没有半点的畏惧之意,话音一转,只闻他沉声道:“你们不该来的,一个月前,你们两人联手,或许还有让我正视的可能,但是现在……”
“现在我们一样能够杀得了你!”死奴漠然开口,他的手,在说话间已然按上了腰间长剑的剑柄,与此同时,囚奴也握住了剑柄。
江晨冷然道:“多说无益,拔剑吧。”
“也好,我们向来也不习惯与一个将死之人多说废话。”囚奴淡然开口瞬间,腰间长剑已然出鞘,多年联手对敌的默契,死奴自然也不例外,下一瞬间,他们的人已动,剑亦同时而动。
死奴攻左,剑行诡异,灰色的身影,当真如同一道鬼魅。
囚奴攻右,剑主杀伐,红色的身影,浸满鲜血的长剑,尽显狂暴。
两相配合之下,身影如鬼魅瞬现,剑影似电光火石,除了一闪而没的凌厉剑光,竟看不见其中蕴藏的可怕剑锋。
曾经名动江湖的双龙剑璧,如今天下会的死囚双奴,身份变了,不变的是他们的人,他们的剑,双剑合璧,倾力而出。
江晨恍若未觉的站在剑光下,手未动,身未动,剑也未动,他在等,等待将眼前敌人一击击杀的机会。若是一个月前,他还真没有这份把握,不过,一个月后的今天,情况自然与一个月前不同。
这一个月来,他依靠着女鬼董小玉的帮助,先后从三绝门、快意门、断家等诸多武林门派,盗取了不少的武功秘籍:如三绝门的天霜拳、排云掌、风神腿、三分归元,快意门的兽形拳、快意诀,断家的蚀日剑法、清凉寺的如来神掌等等。虽然,短短时间,他不可能将所有的武功秘籍都练成,但专研参悟,也有不少所得,尤其是参悟修炼风神腿,让他领悟了神风动,轻功大增,进入了一个全新的境界。
“吼——”
腾腾焰光之中,惊闻一声麒麟怒吼,就在死囚双奴联袂攻到近前的刹那,江晨终于拔剑出鞘,周身窜腾而起的磅礴真气,赤红色的双目,映着赤红色的剑光,无可言说的锋芒,一瞬划破虚空。
死囚双奴,双剑合璧,魔身不朽,赤麟怒吼,一瞬间的交锋,一瞬间的胜负,一瞬间的剑芒,一瞬间的生死。
“呃!”几乎同时响起的闷哼之声,三人交错一瞬,只见死囚双奴满脸的不敢置信,怔怔的停住了身形,而在他们的咽喉之上,赫然一道伤口乍现,鲜血喷溅飞射,连一声惨嚎也来不及发出,便已双双倒落在地。
“轮回者江晨击杀剧情人死囚双奴,系双龙见璧,你当前拥有轮回赋予的天赋,可以选择是否获得其一身能为?”
“否。”转眼做出选择,江晨静静地看着他们,看着他们的身体倒落,抛洒的鲜血,岂非是这江湖天地之间,最为凄美的场景?
胜负,生死,这就是江湖!

However, it must be admitted that although their status in the World of Martial Arts was awkward, their martial arts were truly not bad. A single prisoner could fight Duan Shuai, who held the Fire麟Sword, for twenty to thirty rounds without defeat. Now, with both of them coming together, their dual swords combined, their power was even greater.
"However," although Jiang Chen understood the strength of these two, he showed no fear. His tone turned serious, "You shouldn't have come. A month ago, the two of you together might have been a challenge, but now..."
"Now we can still kill you!" Dead Prisoner spoke indifferently, his hand already on the hilt of his sword. At the same time, Prisoner also gripped his sword hilt.
Jiang Chen said coldly, "Talking is pointless, draw your swords."
"Agreed, we never waste words with a man about to die." As Prisoner spoke, his sword was already out of its scabbard. The years of fighting together made Dead Prisoner move in perfect sync. In the next moment, they moved, and their swords followed.
Dead Prisoner attacked from the left, his sword movements bizarre, his gray figure truly like a ghost.
Prisoner attacked from the right, his sword focused on killing, his red figure, with a blood-soaked sword, showing extreme ferocity.
Their combined movements were like a ghostly apparition, their sword shadows like lightning, and apart from the sharp sword light that flashed and disappeared, the terrifying sword edges were invisible.
The once famous Dragon Sword Duo, now the Dead Prisoners of the World of Martial Arts, had changed in status but not in their essence. Their dual swords combined, and they unleashed their full power.
Jiang Chen stood under the sword light, his hands, body, and sword unmoving. He was waiting, waiting for the opportunity to strike and kill his enemies. If it were a month ago, he might not have had the confidence, but now, a month later, the situation was different.
In the past month, with the help of the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, he had stolen many martial arts manuals from various sects, such as the Three Supreme Sect's Heaven Frost Fist, Cloud Splitting Palm, Wind God Leg, and Three-Part Unity, the Joy Sect's Beast Shape Fist and Joy Technique, Duan Family's Sun Eroding Sword, and the Clear Cool Temple's Buddha Palm. Although he could not master all the manuals in such a short time, his research and understanding had brought him many insights, especially in the Wind God Leg, which allowed him to grasp the Divine Wind Movement, greatly enhancing his lightness skills and entering a new realm.
"Roar—"
Amidst the surging flames, a roar of a qilin was heard. At the moment the Dead Prisoners attacked, Jiang Chen finally drew his sword. The surging true qi around his body, his crimson eyes, and the crimson sword light all radiated an indescribable sharpness, slicing through the void in an instant.
The Dead Prisoners, with their dual swords combined, their bodies indestructible, and the qilin's roar, the clash was instantaneous, the outcome decided in a moment, the sword light flashing, and the life and death determined in an instant.
"Ugh!" Almost simultaneously, the two men let out a muffled groan. In the brief moment of their clash, the Dead Prisoners were left in disbelief, their bodies frozen. On their throats, a wound appeared, blood spewing out, and before they could even cry out, they fell to the ground.
"Reincarnator Jiang Chen has defeated the Dead Prisoners, the Dragon Sword Duo. You currently have the talent granted by the cycle. Do you wish to acquire their abilities?"
"No." Making his choice in an instant, Jiang Chen quietly watched them, their bodies falling, the blood spilling. Was this not the most tragic scene in the world of martial arts?
Victory, life, and death—this is the world of martial arts!
