The Invincible Corruption Manual

Chapter 317 CHAPTER 316: Bai Tien's Sad Story-1



"Master, why are you so adamant to find the finest archer in this world? We have now found one. What is your next plan? " Bai Zilong, the Patriarch of the Great Gong Clan asked.

Bai Tien, the founder and the forefather of their tap on the floor lightly pondered over his words carefully and he finally responded, "Long Er, our world, no, I mean the whole universe that our world is in right now, there is once a time where archery become the top of every other field. Do you know under which name the archery become so powerful that time?" He asked another question.

"Hou Yi. I know that. Everyone knows that." Bai Zilong replied. "But sadly no second person was ever born until now to break legend in terms of archery. No, no one can even follow in the shadow of the footsteps that he had left behind in the sand footprint of time. Now the popularity of archery is so dwindled down that no one ever wishes to pursue this art anymore."

​ "Exactly, in front of Hou Yi, if there is a bow and an arrow in his hands, no one in this Universe who even claimed them to be the martial god of sword and spears which were now everyones' pursuit can even have a chance to even challenge him. For goodness sake, there was a legend of him shooting down the 9 Suns in the sky, leaving only the one which was currently shining brightly." Bai Tien, the always haggard-looking guy, chimed in enthusiastically.

"But master, what has have to do with this brat?" Bai Zilong asked without beating around the bush.

"Boy, as an archer myself, I have only one dream in my whole life which is to see the toppling of the greatness of swordsmen and spear wielders in the hand of an archer. To prove the greatness of the formerly forgotten art, which everyone thinks is trivial, I would like to defeat all those masters one by one. So began my journey of challenging all the masters. After defeating all the sword-wielders, spear-wielders, and other weapons masters of this world during my time, I went to the middle-realm worlds, continuing my journey with the same goal. I have never been defeated once in my life. But, …..Hmmm!  " Bai Tien sighed and continued, "One day I met a strange man who had his eyes covered with cotton linens. He challenged me telling me that I was wrong about the archery and that the sword would and must always be the king of every other weapon. He even told me that if I can make him unsheathe his sword from the scabbard even once then he would gladly take back his own words and even agreed to switch his weapon from the sword to a bow. That was the most exciting moment of my life that I ever felt when he approached and challenged me, himself. Then I except the duel heedlessly. It was because I know who that man really was, he was one of the most famous swordmasters in the whole middle-realm worlds known as the Unsheathed Swordmaster, a swordmaster who never Unsheathe his sword. No one was his equal at that time and no one had ever seen him unsheathing his sword once in a fight. " He began his story showing a complicated expression all over his face.

"The Unsheathed Swordmaster, the one who never sheathed his sword." Bai Zilong mumbled under his breath. He then asked abruptly, "Master, it has the same name as the Unsheathed Sword sect of our world. Do they have any kind of relationship?" And he asked again with some hesitation in his eyes, "How is your fight with him?"

"Fight! Hahaha, I will never call that, a duel as I lost completely and I knew exactly in my mind that I was never a match to even have a fight with him, to begin with. It was also my most humiliating defeat because my aim failed to focus on his head the moment I saw the pair of red swords in his eyes. So I lost the will to fight him just at the time I accepted his challenge. " Bai Tien began to tell his story, "It was exactly at that time that I lose my purpose in my further path of Archery cultivation. The Unsheathed Swordmaster also saw that from my eyes and he then further humiliate me instead. He made me fight his youngest disciple. Hmm, …. " "I lost to him, too. So it was really a turning point in my life. I have never ever been defeated once before but that day I lost to him and even to his most inexperienced disciple.  So I felt an emptiness in my soul and the despair from that feeling, it was really too much for me and I began to spend my next few couple 100 years in the embrace of wine, drinking myself almost all the time. But one day when I was kicked out of a bar by a mere mortal. In my drunken haze, for the first time in my life again I heard something that I was obsessed with. It was the cranky voice of a beggar, sitting beside the roadside. That day I saw light in my life again. He said that I could defeat the Unsheathe Master. His words were liked magical to me at that time as they gave me a new purpose in my life. He further told me that, first I should go and challenge the Unsheathe Swordmaster again and if he refused and even further humiliate me to defeat his youngest disciple first. Also, I must tell him this; I lost my willed of my arrow after the fight with you so the loss with his disciple could not be counted as one. Also, since the Unsheathe Swordmaster was so disdainful of the archery then someday, a new genius archer will be born in my lower world and defeat his youngest disciple. And he also told me that I would soon gain my new will of archery again after that  and I could easily behead him in my next duel."
