"Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles."
He accomplished his task and departed, concealing his identity and name.
The flashes of swords and the clash of blades erupted in the blink of an eye, while the sound of the bamboo flute was clear and high-pitched.
But the battle only needs to last for a moment.
A moment later, the enemy disappeared from the painting, leaving only the white-clad swordsman stroking his longsword and sheathing it.
The bright red bloodstains left the first vivid mark on the black and white ink painting, flashing and disappearing in an instant.
[Leisurely drinking in Xinling, I laid my sword across my knees.]
He offered roasted meat to Zhu Hai, and raised a cup to Hou Ying.
The scene shifts to an octagonal pavilion, where the man in white is sitting with others at a wine table.
The sound of the bamboo flute faded away, leaving only the clinking of glasses and the sounds of toasts.
Three cups of wine and I've made a solemn vow; the Five Sacred Mountains seem light as a feather.
After my eyes blurred and my ears burned, a sense of exhilaration arose within me.
The two sat facing each other, drinking cup after cup, the fine wine flowing freely on the table and disappearing into the stream below the pavilion.
Turn the camera outward, and you'll see a stunning landscape painting.
The scene shifts again, and the sound of the bamboo flute rises to a high pitch, the music reaching its climax and stirring the emotions of all the listeners.
[The golden hammer was wielded to save Zhao, and Handan was the first to be shocked.]
Two heroes, their glory endures through the ages, their name forever etched in the walls of Daliang.
What follows is a fast-paced montage of scenes depicting a white-clad swordsman single-handedly beheading an enemy general amidst a vast army.
A city of ten thousand people was thus saved.
In the light drizzle, the white-clad swordsman rode his white horse and calmly passed through the frame, splashing water droplets.
A plum tree is blooming by the roadside; it is one of only two vibrant colors in the painting, like the finishing touch on a masterpiece.
The man in white then left the city, and as the camera panned to the famous river and the sea, he disappeared without a trace.
Even in death, the spirit of chivalry remains, worthy of being a hero in this world.
Who can write of your profound wisdom, even in your old age?
In the ancient city, the lanes and alleys remain unchanged.
Vendors were hawking their wares along the street, monks were chanting sutras and praying, and soldiers were patrolling the streets—it was a scene of great prosperity.
Some scholars stood under the eaves, gazing at the distant mountains, and wrote on paper—
A Knight-Errant's Journey.
The contents on the paper were quickly transformed into the game's title.
The entire title is in the style of traditional Chinese ink painting, with the three large characters directly using the original Chinese characters, accompanied by the corresponding translation below.
At the same time, a blue star logo in the same color scheme also appeared.
The first promotional video for "The Wandering Swordsman" was very bold, not only using a style that no one had ever tried before, but also daring to use the language of Earth directly.
The people of the Star Kingdom have never read this poem before, so a translation must be provided below.
To translate this poem, several cultural PhDs from the Blue Star Research Institute were consulted. The group spent several days discussing the topic before finalizing the translation.
—The cultural meaning behind an artwork from an ancient civilization is incredibly rich.
No matter how it's translated, the essence will inevitably be lost.
Even so, the poem is still incredibly beautiful.
The beauty of art transcends national boundaries; it is a gift that everyone can feel.
Players who have seen this promotional video are all filled with awe!
Chapter 99 Wormhole Fluctuations
The poem "The Knight-Errant" is a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages.
It vividly describes a swordsman's attire, martial arts skills, personality, and actions, showcasing the chivalrous spirit of a free spirit, detached from worldly affairs, and capable of saving the world and its people, inspiring admiration and respect in the reader.

On the video website's daily charts, "White Horse," a film with a runtime of only five minutes, almost always topped the list.
On personal social media, it's not just players who can't help but speak out; there are also many people who don't play games—they don't even know it's a promotional video for "Xia Ke Xing," they're simply moved by the work itself.
[It gave me goosebumps; the brainwashing loop just won't stop!]
[It was so beautiful. During the climax scene, tears inexplicably streamed down my face. It was the first time I realized that beauty can truly move someone to tears.]
