Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

Because of Yang Ke's appearance, and the fact that the previous weapon ranking list had lost some masters, people in the martial arts world all sought out Bai Xiaosheng.

Perhaps some schemer wanted to create chaos in the martial arts world, so after Yang Ke defeated the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva, Bai Xiaosheng actually released a new weapon ranking list.

"The rankings on the weapons list have changed drastically this time..."

"However, it's much more reliable than before, but the situation of Tianji Laoren and Guo Songyang is a bit surprising."

"Yes, I didn't expect these two to have changed so much over the years."

People in the martial arts world started discussing the latest weapon rankings.

"Number one on the Weapon Ranking: Yang Ke, the Sword God of Falling Leaves and Flying Flowers, the master of Hidden Sword Manor, whose swordsmanship is divine."

"Weapon Ranking Number Two: Mother-and-Child Dragon and Phoenix Rings. Shangguan Jin Hong, leader of the Money Gang. The Mother-and-Child Dragon and Phoenix Rings are intertwined and made of special materials. They can attract various iron weapons and can be used for both offense and defense."

"Weapon Ranking Third: Heavenly Secret Staff. The Heavenly Secret Staff is forged by the rare Kui Star Stone and Ruyi Jade. The staff is surrounded by a seven-colored halo, and it can be changed in countless ways and has many wonderful uses."

"The fourth weapon in the Weapon Ranking: Little Li Flying Dagger Li Xunhuan, never missing its mark."

"Fifth on the Weapon Ranking: Guo Songyang, the Iron Sword of Songyang. A heavy sword with no edge, its swordsmanship is domineering. He is the guardian of the Sword Pavilion of Hidden Sword Manor."

"Weapon Ranking Six: The Invincible Divine Blade Bai Tianyu. The Bai family's divine blade is jet black, and its flash is faster than lightning."

"Weapon Ranking No. 7: Shadow Sword Jing Wuming, the shadow of Shangguan Jin Hong from the Money Gang, whose swordsmanship is unpredictable and bizarre."

"Weapon Ranking, Number Eight: Marquis Wen, Silver Halberd Lü Fengxian, spent ten years destroying the silver halberd to forge iron hands."

"Ninth on the Weapon Ranking: Flying Swordsman Afei, with a swift sword, capable of killing with a single strike."

Once the top 9 rankings were announced, no one cared about the subsequent rankings anymore.

The main problem is that the weapon ranking list released by Bai Xiaosheng is too detailed, and there are too many extra people listed.

"The All-Knowing Scholar..."

Looking at the rankings on the weapon list, Shangguan Jin Hong could no longer hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

He wasn't disappointed with being ranked second on the weapons list, but rather he hadn't expected that Jing Wuming would be included, and that he would be ranked seventh despite having no combat record.

He was also curious about the situation of the old man, Master Sun, who was known as the Heavenly Secret Elder. Bai Xiaosheng himself ranked the Heavenly Secret Staff first, but now it has become third, which shows that he must have made a comparison.

However, Shangguan Jin Hong is not sure he can beat Old Man Sun, because he met Old Man Sun once a few years before he debuted.

Now he also harbors murderous intent towards Old Man Sun, because the Money Gang has now recruited seventeen masters from the "Weapon Ranking". As long as he defeats the first two, he can lead the Money Gang to unify the martial arts world.

"Guo Songyang, I didn't expect him to go to Hidden Sword Manor. It seems that the rumors in the martial arts world back then were indeed true."

Jing Wuming, on the other hand, focused his attention on Guo Songyang, the Iron Sword of Songyang, because his original opponents were A Fei and Guo Songyang.

Guo Songyang can be said to have taken the domineering path of the Iron Sword, but the use of a sword is not about winning by speed. A domineering style is also a kind of swordsmanship.

As for the rumors from back then, it was said that Guo Songyang went to Cangjian Villa to order a new iron sword, and then disappeared. Unexpectedly, he went to Cangjian Villa to become a guard of the Sword Pavilion.

This also shows how terrifying Yang Ke's strength is. After all, even the fifth-ranked weapon on the Weapon Ranking is under his command, and the Great Joyful Bodhisattva was defeated by Yang Ke in an instant.

On the other side, Sun Xiaohong was so angry that she couldn't eat.

"Grandpa, look at this weapons ranking! What are those called?"

"Why did they drop you from first to third place just because they couldn't beat you?"

In Sun Xiaohong's opinion, no one objected to her grandfather's Tianji Stick being ranked first, so why has it fallen to third now?

"Hey, Little Hong, that's how it is in the martial arts world."

"If you don't advance, you fall behind. Your grandpa only figured this out after the weapon rankings were rearranged."

"For so many years, I've been bound by the number one ranking on the weapon ranking list, and I can no longer compare to the other two. I'm not even confident I can catch Li Xunhuan's Little Flying Dagger."

"What I'm worried about now is whether this 'all-knowing scholar's' sudden re-ranking is part of some kind of conspiracy."

Old Sun is a seasoned veteran. His mentality did fluctuate after he fell to third place at the beginning, but he eventually calmed down.

After telling Sun Xiaohong his opinions on the other people on the Weapon Ranking, he also became worried.

The main reason is that he used to be number one, so people wouldn't challenge him unless they were confident of winning. They would only stay until the very end, and his hidden strength would always remain.

Now, he's a little worried.

Actually, if he were younger, he wouldn't mind falling to third place and climbing back up.

Now that his granddaughter has grown up and he is old and frail, how could he possibly be a match for the sharp-witted Yang Ke, the cunning Jin Hong, and the seasoned Li Xunhuan?

He knew that the day others had their victories decided would be the day of his death.

Because he was afraid.

When you're number one, you're afraid of losing and losing everything.

Now that I'm third, I have ties to this position and I'm also afraid of losing it.

"It seems the martial world is in chaos again."

Li Xunhuan also learned about the Weapon Ranking, and now, because of Lin Xian'er, he too is being hunted by the Five Poisons Child and is heading to Shaolin.

Moreover, the Azure Demon Hand Yi Ku and the Blue Scorpion on the Weapon Ranking also want to cause him trouble.

At this moment, inside the Hidden Sword Manor.

"Master, everything has been done as you instructed."

Bai Xiaosheng respectfully cupped his hands to Yang Ke and began to report the situation.

"Okay, go help Lin Xian'er next. If you do a good job, I'll help you break through to the Grandmaster level."

Yang Ke waved to Bai Xiaosheng, signaling him to leave.

Yes, all of this was arranged by Yang Ke, who just wanted to see the duel on the Weapon Ranking.

"Good host."

Bai Xiaosheng didn't dare to say anything more and bowed as he left the room.

In fact, in the world of Little Li Flying Dagger, Yang Ke only wants to wait for Li Xunhuan's Little Li Flying Dagger to reach its peak before having a final showdown; he has no interest in anyone else right now.

The reason for this arrangement was simply to see if these individuals could change their fate after finding new opponents.

For example, when Tianji Laoren lost to Shangguan Jin Hong in the drama, it was because Shangguan Jin Hong had already prepared to deal with Li Xunhuan.

At this moment, how could he possibly withstand the sharp edge of Shangguan Jin Hong's brilliance when he stepped forward? He was just waiting for Shangguan Jin Hong to unify the martial arts world.

But things are different now. Shangguan Jin Hong's ranking is already above that of Elder Tianji, Sun. Yang Ke is very much looking forward to seeing if he will break through his previous limitations and unleash another wave of power.

Even if we lose, it doesn't matter.

As for the rankings of the other people, Yang Ke had given them careful consideration.

For example, Lü Bu was actually very capable, but his mindset was too poor.

Although Lü Fengxian in the drama appears to be just standing there casually, every part of his body seems to be vulnerable, and A Fei's swordsmanship seems to be able to stab any part of his body at will.

But too many open doors actually turn into no open doors at all.

He seemed to have become ethereal, and this ethereal quality is an extremely high realm in martial arts.

Lu Fengxian certainly had reason to be proud. Li Xunhuan had never expected his martial arts to be so high, nor could he see any hope that A Fei could defeat him—because A Fei didn't even have a chance to make a move.

Unfortunately, in the end, Lin Xian'er broke his mental state, and he lost to A Fei and Shangguan Jin Hong. He did not appear again after that.
