There is a kind of person in the rivers and lakes, called Ke, also known as chivalrous.

It generally refers to some heroes who are strong in martial arts, but also have a sense of justice and are very righteous.

They are different from killers, they all have their own principles and never kill indiscriminately; They are also different from the military, they never belong to any class or department, they only do things according to their own preferences; They are not exactly employed either, and if they themselves are unhappy, no amount of money will not move them. They can kill for you, but they never really do your bidding; They can also do things for you, but not necessarily for the money; Some of them are also poor, but they never forget to help the weak.

Their motto is not "loyalty", but "benevolence", and "benevolence is invincible" is the highest state of their ideals.

Because most of the knights use swords, they are also called swordsmen. However, there are also a small number of knights who use other weapons, such as swordsmen.

Of course, there are good and bad things for everyone, and swordsmen are no exception. In the midst of the battles, some swordsmen gradually lost their principles and forgot that the word "benevolence" was their motto. Although these few scum also consider themselves swordsmen, they often do many things that are contrary to chivalrous righteousness.

Before the Qingcheng faction, there was a great sword master named Gongsun Chu, who was also the previous head of the Qingcheng faction. Because he realized the essence of the sword of the Qingcheng patriarch sword god Dugu Mengning, and created his own ruthless swordsmanship, he became famous all over the world and became the unparalleled first master of swordsmanship. In his later years, many outstanding young swordsmen appeared in the rivers and lakes, so he made a ranking of these young people according to his understanding of kendo, which is the swordsman ranking. The most famous and prestige on the swordsman list are the top ten swordsmen, so they are also called the top ten swordsmen

The rankings of the swordsmen are as follows:

First place, Tianxing Sword laughs at the moon song. He ranked first, and his martial arts were naturally the highest among the top ten swordsmen. It should be said that from the second to the tenth, in fact, the martial arts between them are not much different, but the martial arts of the Tianxing Sword Laughing Moon Song are far higher than them, which is a fact that the other nine swordsmen also have to admit. If you ask who else in the world can compete with the Laughing Moon Song, then only the director of Xiaoyaomen is Xiaoyao. He did not use one sword, but nine. These nine swords are named according to the five elements of heaven and earth, which are the nine swords of heaven, earth, man, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and line, which are collectively known as the nine swords of heaven. The Nine Swords of Tianxing respect the human sword, as long as the human sword is in hand, you can control the other eight swords as you like, even if you fly in the air and hurt people in the air. The human sword itself is psychic and can sense the mind of its master. Even if the human sword is not in the Laughing Moon Singer, as long as it is no more than five miles away from the Laughing Moon Song, the Laughing Moon Song can still summon the human sword with its mind. As long as the human sword is in hand, the other eight swords are at his command. Most people believe that the highest level of the Tianxing Sword is that the eight swords fly together, using the human sword to control the other eight swords at the same time, and hurt people in the air. Only Laughing Yuege himself knew that the highest realm of the Tianxing Sword was not the eight swords flying together, but the ninety-nine into one, that is, the nine swords were combined. This person has an atmospheric personality, dares to love and hate, and dares to do things. His principle was to never listen to anyone's orders, except for one person.

second place, slow sword god Hu Daiwei. Because everyone in the world knows that the sword god is the Qingcheng patriarch Dugu Mengning, no one dares to call the sword god in later generations. Generally, the swordsmanship of a swordsman is as fast as possible, winning with speed and defeating the enemy with speed. Hu Daiwei's swordsmanship did the opposite, the faster the enemy's moves, the slower his own swordsmanship. In this way, you can win by slowing down and playing fast. His swordsmanship is mainly slow, which can be said to have created another new way of swordsmanship, so the people in the rivers and lakes think that he is the sword god in the slow sword, so they gave him a nickname, called the slow sword god. Although his martial arts are not as strong as Laughing Moon Song, he can be regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and even the people in the four major families of the rivers and lakes are in awe of him. His personality is the same as his swordsmanship, he is not in a hurry, and the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him cannot make him a point faster. One of his favorite sayings is, "Take your time." ”

Third place, double sword Luo Youdong. Most swordsmen use single swords, but Luo Youdong uses double swords, so it is called double swords. He usually doesn't talk much, but he likes to scold, and if he doesn't open his mouth, he will scold when he speaks. But the other person is really good, but he is just a knife mouth and a tofu heart. He also has a rule not to curse and be unhappy.

Fourth place, Skeleton Sword Qin Gang. There is a skull on the hilt of his sword, and he is ruthless, so the people in the rivers and lakes call him the skull sword. He is one of the few swordsmen among the ten swordsmen who has gradually lost his chivalrous spirit, often collecting money to do things for others, and is cruel and easy to kill. Another characteristic of his murder is that he generally does not kill people directly, but likes to slowly torture others to death. He is especially fond of human skins, and among the baggage he carries with him, you can always find several complete human skins. He also dried human skins to make waistcoats and wore them on his body. His swordsmanship is very good, and he often peels off a piece of skin from his opponent's body as soon as he strikes his sword, and it will take a while for the opponent to feel pain. The thing that makes him happiest is to slowly and completely remove the human skin from a person's body, while the other person has not yet lost his breath, and then listen to his painful groans and wails. His rule is that he can't kill people, don't do it; Do things that can kill people, no matter how much money you have.

Fifth place, fifth row of sword shadows. As soon as you hear his name, Sword Shadow, you know that his swordsmanship is known for its speed. He used a sword, named Ling Feng. He was calm, upright and meticulous. His swordsmanship is known for his speed, but he never mistakenly kills or even injures a person by mistake because he uses his sword too quickly. His rule is that as long as it is right, he is willing to do it, whether there is money or not. He is not the swordsman with the highest martial arts, but he is definitely the swordsman with the best reputation. He has more than one principle, he has many. He doesn't do things that give too little money, and he doesn't do things that give too much money, he only takes his pay. Don't do things that want to act with women, he is good at drinking and not lustful, and even a little cold to women, in his eyes, women are trouble, so he never pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and never acts with "trouble". He works with people, never uses his sword easily, never hurts people easily when he uses his sword, and never kills people easily when he hurts people. The most important point, unjust things, do not do. His greatest strength is calmness, and his mind is rarely disturbed by external objects, so he can always keep a clear head. He is not arrogant or humble, because he knows what kind of person he is, and he is very self-aware. He is the fifth-ranked swordsman on the swordsman list, and he is also a true swordsman.

Sixth place, Rakshasa Sword Luo Chunmei, also known as Jade Rakshasa. In terms of martial arts alone, in fact, her ranking should be higher, but Gongsun Chu saw that she was a woman, so he despised her a little, so he ranked her sixth. Her swordsmanship is also very skillful, and if she is injured by her Rakshasa sword, the wound will surely take the shape of a rose. She is not the most powerful swordsman of the Ten Swordsmen, but she is the happiest of the Ten Swordsmen, because there is a Patronus standing behind her at all times. A patron saint who can die for her and make the world fearful.

Seventh place, snake sword Gu Song. His sword is curved like a snake, the tip of the sword is as poisonous as a snake's mouth, and the sting is like a snake's bite, so it is called a serpentine sword. His biggest characteristic is that he is fickle, he seems to be a god for a while, and then he becomes a mad demon in the blink of an eye.

Eighth place, Phantom Sword Li Haiqing. is also a female swordsman, beautiful as a flower, good at flattery and light skills, ordinary people can only see her phantom, so it is called the phantom sword. She is characterized by being female and loving men.

Ninth place, short sword Chen Xia. An inch is short, an inch is dangerous, Chen Xia is famous for her short sword and love to take risks. She is the lowest female swordsman in the top ten swordsmen. Now that she is married and has children, she is a good wife and mother, and there are few legends about her on the rivers and lakes. Her characteristics are soft-hearted, very fond of children, and very easily affected by feelings.

Tenth place, Meteor Sword Oumu. His sword is called the Meteor Sword, and the tip of the sword is in the shape of a five-star shape, which can fall off like a hidden weapon and fly out to hurt people, and then return immediately after hurting people. At night, when the tip of the sword travels in the air, it is like a meteor cutting through the sky, so it is called a meteor sword. He is a one-eyed swordsman who cannot see with his right eye and likes to be alone.

There are actually twenty swordsmen on the swordsman list, which means that after the top ten swordsmen, there are ten swordsmen. But these swordsmen either rarely appear on the rivers and lakes, or have lived in seclusion in the mountains, or have not been seen at all, so their reputation is far less than that of the first ten swordsmen, and naturally few people mention them. However, their martial arts are all very strong, not lower than some of the top ten swordsmen.
