Chapter 2: The Assassination of the First Sword by the Hundred Birds

Behind him is a narrow cave that can only accommodate someone sitting cross-legged, unable to shield from the wind and rain. Beneath him is a rock protruding in mid-air, with the surroundings suspended on all sides. Bai Sheng merely glanced down and could see patches of sea of clouds, indicating the high elevation. When he looked up, he could only see a lush expanse of green, unable to discern the peak of the mountain. There is no passageway either up or down, it is indeed a desolate place.

When he looked up, he could only see a lush expanse of green, unable to discern the peak of the mountain. There is no passageway either up or down, it is indeed a desolate place.

Renowned as the foremost master in "Shushan 2," Qingfeng Mingjian, when asked whether he could withstand this sword, boldly declared: "Bainiao Shenggen never had the chance to unleash this sword in front of me... This sword is invincible within twenty paces, but apart from the Moon Queen, no one can approach me within a hundred paces during a sword duel..."

Bai Sheng, known in the game as Bai Niao Sheng, began the most exhilarating battle of his life after posting a message that caused a sensation in the Shushan 2 forum for decades. When he logged out of the game, he was unaware of what had transpired; suddenly, Bai Sheng felt a jolt throughout his body and lost consciousness due to an electric shock. When he awoke again, he found himself in an unfamiliar setting, surrounded by what appeared to be a desolate wilderness. He had lost all his equipment, leaving him with nothing but a poorly made flying sword and a tattered blue Daoist robe.

Due to this incident, Dugu Qiubai has vanished; even a fool could understand the reason. This leader of the World Sword Association has lost the face to meet others. However, no one could have anticipated the reason for Bai Niao Sheng's disappearance in "Shu Mountain 2". Although there were various speculations on the forum for "Shu Mountain 2" later on, none of them came close to the truth.

The legend of the Hundred Birds has made it the most mysterious and popular player in the game "Shushan 2," which has an unprecedented operational lifespan of fifty years. Before Yue Long'er transferred to the Mars server, no one had been able to surpass it

However, while many people were certain that Bainiaosheng would soon flourish and establish a brand new gang, it was quite surprising to everyone that Bainiaosheng did not appear again in "Shushan 2" after that.

Having repelled the Tianxia Battle Team, the two vice leaders of the Qinglong Society responsible for guarding the headquarters, along with dozens of exhausted members, were relieved to have survived the ordeal. However, their relief was short-lived as they encountered the bloodthirsty Bai Niao Sheng. This individual had long anticipated this step in the plan, and at the most opportune moment, he detached himself from the main battlefield of the Tianxia Sword Association and the Qinglong Society, charging alone into the headquarters of the Qinglong Society.

In "Shushan 2", the leader of the Ghost Shadow Sect, ranked twelfth, remarked upon seeing the list: "A large gang indeed possesses substantial wealth; the items on this list are worth ten times the total assets of our Ghost Shadow Sect"

Even Bai Sheng himself took an entire day to understand what had happened and realized how awkward his situation was; all of this is not a long story to tell

Bai Niao Sheng single-handedly robbed two major gangs, acquiring several hundred high-level accounts, including fifteen warehouse accounts from the Qinglong Association and the Tianxia Sword Association. These warehouse accounts suffered the most, as Bai Niao Sheng continuously killed them using resurrection charms until they could no longer produce healing potions. According to some insiders, the losses of the Tianxia Sword Association far exceed those of the Qinglong Association by more than five times. After all, Bai Niao Sheng is extremely familiar with the Tianxia Sword Association, making the robbery particularly smooth. Some even assert that after this battle, Bai Niao Sheng's personal wealth is now comparable to the total assets of any of the three major gangs.

He falsely transmitted the command of Dugu Qiubai, instructing the strongest team of the World Sword Association to attack the headquarters of the Qinglong Society. Although the Qinglong Society mobilized over 90% of its forces to engage in a decisive battle with the World Sword Association, the defenses of the headquarters remained remarkably resilient. The World Team suffered heavy losses in that reckless assault

The self-created sword technique he used to assassinate Dugu Qiubai has even become the benchmark for measuring skilled players in "Shushan 2." It is hailed as the "First Sword of Assassination" in "Shushan 2." The leader of the first major guild, the Minjiang Sect, Drunken Green Bull, once remarked on the forum: "If someone has mastered the First Sword of Assassination of the Hundred Birds and that person stands before you, then... you are already a dead man! No one can describe the flamboyance of that sword, just as no one can escape a silent fart in a closed compartment."

As the sky gradually darkened, another set of memories that did not belong to him slowly surfaced in Bai Sheng's mind. It was then that Bai Sheng came to believe that he had traversed into another world, rather than merely becoming an NPC in a game.

It was also at that time that everyone finally understood what Qingfeng Mingjian meant when he spoke

Bai Sheng initially did not panic too much; he believed that it was not a server crash, but rather that he had fallen victim to a hacker's attack. Regardless of which scenario it was, he considered it not a big deal, as Bai Sheng was someone who could afford to lose. If he lost his level in the game, he could simply start over; if he lost his items, he could just go and loot again; if he couldn't learn the superior sword techniques, he could create his own. However, when he realized that he could not find the option to exit the game and could not bring up the game interface, he began to feel a sense of dread.

After that battle, the Qinglong Society, which achieved a comprehensive victory, claimed that they had been ambushed by Bai Niao Sheng, resulting in the loss of 219 elite members from their ranks, along with several divine weapons, magical artifacts, and equipment. The loss list published on the forum immediately caused dozens of guilds and individuals to become eager, declaring their willingness to trade with Bai Niao Sheng under any conditions. Of course, there were also some discordant guilds and players who issued missions, stating that whoever could eliminate Bai Niao Sheng would also be offered any conditions they desired

Bai Niao Sheng had always been very low-key before this, although everyone knew that his swordsmanship was formidable. No one could have imagined that his sword control had reached such a terrifying level. In the more than ten minutes from the time he killed Du Gu Qiu Ou to when he posted, he had actually slain over 130 high-level players from the World Sword Association, almost all with a single strike, and no one could withstand his first assassination sword. No one knew how many masters Bai Niao Sheng had plundered during that turmoil in the World Sword Association, nor did anyone understand the heavy blow that incident dealt to the World Sword Association.

Until later, the leaderless Tianxia Sword Association faced a complete defeat in the ensuing battles, transforming from the third largest guild on the server into a third-rate small guild. With the efforts of another vice guild leader, Qinglian Jiange, it barely held on for three years. However, after offending a newly joined female player in "Shushan 2", Yue Long'er, who was only level fifty-seven at the time, she single-handedly stormed the headquarters of the Tianxia Sword Association, killing eighteen experts above level one hundred thirty and defeating Qinglian Jiange nine times. Thus, the Tianxia Sword Association collapsed and announced its dissolution, ushering in the era of Queen Yue in "Shushan 2".

It must be said that at that time, the ID "Yue Long Er" had not yet appeared in "Shu Mountain 2," so no one knew of the power of the Moon Queen, nor could anyone understand the tribute implied in the words of Qing Feng Ming Jian.

The terror of the hundred birds does not end there
