Traitor: I like Master more after his gender change

Chapter 226 Old Friends

The twelfth floor is open to challenge by all the human race in the world. Although the twelfth floor itself is a force, this force opens the iconic building of the twelfth floor to the outside world.

There are ninety-nine floors above it, and each floor tests the swordsmanship of those who enter the building.

Those who don’t have the sword spirit are not worthy of breaking into the building.

This is one of the top forces in the Sword Domain.

Diefang and her companions were in a dilemma. If they broke into the building, Diefang and Wenxin would have no problem, but Xinyu and Xiao Fangying would have problems.

The two of them didn't practice swordsmanship at all.

Finally, with Da Fangying's friendly reminder, the few of them breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need for them to go through this alone, as they would naturally have their own experiences in the future.

The ancient building has a majestic appearance, presenting a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. Its walls are made of huge bluestones, covered with ancient runes and patterns. The roof is made of a huge jade stone, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire ancient building.

If Diefang and the others want to challenge, they need to pay spirit stones, but these spirit stones are nothing to them.

The goal of several people is very clear. Diefang and Wenxin went to the Sword Tower. Da Fangying sent Xinyu and Xiao Fangying back to the courtyard and told Haotian that there would be no trials for them for the time being, and he would take them to the trial after Diefang and the others finished.

In a courtyard that was almost isolated from the outside world, Haotian's figure slowly appeared...

There was only an old man in the courtyard, sitting quietly on the stone table, staring blankly at the chessboard on the table. Perhaps he sensed the appearance of Haotian, so he looked up with great surprise.

"coming?"

"coming."

Outside the yard there was a lively little girl, practicing her sword skills hard.

The old man looked at Haotian, and felt his eyes moist. After not seeing her for so many years, time seemed to have left no trace on her, but he had aged beyond recognition. It was a pity that his cultivation was not good enough, and he had already calculated that his end was coming... today.

He never married or had children in his life. When he was old, he realized that his time was running out, so he picked up an abandoned baby girl and taught her the way of the sword.

I have always hoped to see Haotian again before the deadline.

Haotian, bearing the title of Human King, sensed the strong wishes of her old friend after arriving in the Sword Domain.

"Can I ask you to help me take care of this little girl, for the sake of our past friendship, Lord Human King?"

Haotian was silent for a moment: "No need to call me the Human King. Today, I come to see you for the last time as an old friend."

After an unknown amount of time, the two finished the game of chess.

Haotian also left here...

Only the old man was left. He stood there in a daze for a long time, looking at the chessboard on the table, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

At the end of the chessboard, he lost.

He called the little girl over... and talked about birth, old age, sickness and death, the laws of nature, and that all things needed to be obeyed. He was leaving, so he found a teacher for her...

If, if he had won the game of chess, he might have found a master for the little girl. Unfortunately, he lost and could only be a teacher in the end.

The originally lively little girl suddenly burst into tears. She anxiously grabbed his hand and shouted that grandpa would not die.

The grandfather and daughter talked a lot more.

"Xiao Xi, don't let those handsome men who wield swords hold your hand in the future. They are all idiots."

"Xiao Xi, your grandfather is incompetent, so he can only find a teacher for you. Remember, follow her and learn well."

Under the setting sun, the girl cried and shook her head to deny her grandfather's words, saying that he was the most powerful and that everything would be fine. However, the old man seemed to be deaf to her words and continued to speak his own words, and his skinny hands gently soothed the girl's head.

"It will be very dangerous in the future. Don't worry about an old man like me. Look forward. There are countless wonderful things waiting for you."

"Grandpa can't protect you forever. You must learn from that teacher and develop some skills to stand tall and proud."

The sun is setting...

The old man's body began to dissipate.

The little girl cried until her voice was hoarse, and she tried to grab the stars floating in the air with her two little hands, but she couldn't catch them no matter how hard she tried.

In the end... the old man disappeared completely, leaving only the little girl.

The heaven and earth shook, strange phenomena occurred one after another, and the rumbling thunder mixed with the falling raindrops, as if the whole world was filled with sadness, commemorating the departure of a person.

The rain wet everything in the yard, including the little girl's hair and clothes.

The little girl was crying in the rain, crying heartbreakingly. Her dearest relative in this world had left her.

In the Great Hall on the First Floor of the Sword Domain...

A candle, its feeble flame, finally extinguished...

The entire force of the First Tower was shaken, and the other Sword Towers also seemed to have some realization, and even the entire Sword Domain was shaken.

The man who was once the best in the world in kendo has passed away.

He once dominated the world with his swordsmanship, and his invincible posture made him sympathize with the Human King. Together they fought against alien races and achieved countless honors. In the end, he was betrayed by a traitor, fell into an alien trap, and was seriously injured, and there has been no news since then.

During the recuperation stage, the Human King disappeared and lived quietly on the first floor. Everyone who knew him knew what a serious injury it was. It was clearly a fatal injury that could take someone's life.

When he was in seclusion to recuperate, he was only barely alive, and he changed from a handsome young swordsman to an old man.

It was obvious that his time of death had come long ago, and everyone who knew him knew that there was no cure, and that his current situation was entirely supported by his will.

And that intention was to see Haotian...

Now his wish has been fulfilled. He saw his adopted granddaughter Xiaoxi for the last time, told her the last things to her, and finally passed away.

On the first floor, several old men sat together.

"The Human King has arrived...his heart knot has been untied."

"He is considered the founder of the twelfth floor of our Sword Domain. Let's inform the other floors... Wear mourning clothes and send off the Sword God respectfully."

A shocking news came out.

In Jianyu, the invincible master of the old generation, who was known as the God of Sword, suddenly announced his death after hiding for many years.

The walls of the Sword Domain were made of countless giant swords, he built the twelve floors of the Sword Domain, and he even created the origin of the Sword Domain. His existence is still like a god in the hearts of every sword practitioner. Now...

The luck of kendo was once again greatly reduced.

The little girl cried in the rain for a long time, and finally fainted on the ground, letting the rain drip on her young body.

Haotian's figure appeared again...

He looked at the empty stone table and chair, and then at the little girl who had fainted from crying on the ground.

The passing of an old friend.

Although she has reached her limit and is unrivaled in the world, there is only one way to treat her old friend's injury, and she cannot use it.

Haotian slowly picked up the little girl, used his gentle spiritual power to dry the water droplets on her body, and finally carried her to the bed in the room.

I slowly walked into the courtyard, watching the blood-red lightning flash across the sky from time to time...

This is the heaven and earth mourning his passing.

After Haotian watched for a long time, Xiao Hei slowly transformed into a human form and walked to her side.

Haotian seemed to be muttering to himself, and also seemed to be asking Xiaohei.

"He actually left before me this time. Will you faint from crying when I leave?"
