Chapter 701: 701
"Finally angry?"
Looking at General Yi who seemed to have become another person, the head of state smiled .
It was rare to see General Yi in this state . As far as the head of state could remember, except for when they had fought the seven demon gods back then with all their might, he had rarely seen General Yi activate this form .
"What mode is this?" Father Wang was very curious .
"This is when Little Yiyi's potential is activated . Simply put, this is a method for activating the meridians in the body with boundless sword qi to stimulate the body's potential, and it carries certain risks…" The head of state said, "Back then, it was Sword Immortal Fan Rui who developed this Boundless Sword Dao, but Little Yiyi was the only one to inherit it . "
Hearing this, realization dawned on Father Wang .
He also knew about Evil Sword God's arrest previously . If that was the case, then Evil Sword God had very likely murdered his shifu back then because of jealousy .
The head of state's next words also confirmed Father Wang's speculation . "Brother Situ has probably heard that Fan Rui had two disciples . One was Little Yiyi, and the other was Chen Nanxuan, who is now known as Evil Sword God . Fan Rui was of two minds when selecting the successor to the Boundless Sword Dao; he even came to me for advice . "
"The head of state and Sword Immortal knew each other?"
"We were fellow students . " The head of state nodded and said, "In retaliation for Fan Rui passing the Boundless Sword Dao on to Little Yiyi, Chen Nanxuan plotted the murder of his shifu . But the truth was that Fan Rui had already long been aware of it . Fan Rui had always been a cautious person, so he wouldn't be caught unawares so easily . "
"So Sword Immortal is still alive?" Father Wang remembered once searching the news on Evil Sword God out of curiosity, and amidst the numerous comments online, there was in fact information going around which said that Fan Rui wasn't really dead .
But these online views were just speculation after all, and had no proof to back them up .
"Fan Rui indeed has already passed on . " At this moment, the head of state revealed the truth of what happened back then . "But unlike what the rumors say, he didn't die because he couldn't defeat Chen Nanxuan . The truth is that during that battle, Fan Rui deliberately yielded, which allowed Chen Nanxuan to seize the advantage . Chen Nanxuan naively thought that his sword skills had surpassed his shifu's, when they actually hadn't…"
When Father Wang heard this, he couldn't help clicking his tongue .
No wonder Evil Sword God had been so endlessly haughty all these years, looking for people everywhere to PK with; it appeared that he had a gross misunderstanding of how strong he was .
No wonder he got thrashed by Ling Ling…
Father Wang couldn't help sighing . "Did Sword Immortal do this in order to guide him?"
"Yes, Brother Situ is right . " The head of state said non-committedly, "After Fan Rui chose the sole successor of the Boundless Sword Dao from among the two of them back then, Chen Nanxuan harbored a grudge ever since . But Fan Rui always believed that Chen Nanxuan wasn't bad by nature . He wanted to use his death to guide this disciple toward the right path, but what a pity… Chen Nanxuan still took this type of path in the end . "
"Then, does Your Excellency know why Sword Immortal chose General Yi as the successor of the Boundless Sword Dao? On what specific basis?"
"I truly don't know . "
The head of state tsked . He really wasn't clear about this matter . "I asked Little Yiyi before privately, but he said this had to do with the secret of the Boundless Sword Dao, so it wasn't good for me to ask too much . But one thing's for sure: when Fan Rui picked his successor, the final stipulation had nothing to do with sword skills or overall combat ability . Back then, Little Yiyi and Chen Nanxuan had been almost neck to neck in their sword skills . "
Listening to the head of state, Father Wang raised his eyebrows and felt that this was becoming more interesting .
If it wasn't based on sword skills or combat ability, then what was it based on?
On who had more cheek?
