The snow was getting heavier. Li Xiuping stopped in an open space, and the four people from the academy also stopped.
Li Xiuping took out the Qingmu, and the long sword was hovering in mid-air.
Li Xiuping pinched a seal, and the sword suddenly flashed with light, and then a figure slowly appeared. It was Huang Qing, but it was a little illusory.
After Huang Qing appeared, he bowed to Li Xiu and said, "I have met my junior uncle."
The four people in the academy spoke at the same time: "Junior Sister Huang..."
Huang Qing looked at everyone in the academy with a smile.
After she saluted the four of them one by one, she looked at Li Xiuping and said, "Uncle, can you accompany me for a walk?"
Li Xiuping nodded and moved forward. The long sword moved forward, and Huang Qing followed Li Xiuping, walking side by side.
Everyone in the academy stayed where they were, looking at the backs of the two men.
After the two walked forward for a while, they stopped at the same time.
Huang Qing said softly: "Thank you, little uncle."
Li Xiuping shook his head and said nothing.
Huang Qing looked ahead and whispered: "It's so beautiful!"
It happened to be dusk at this moment, and the snow was falling, which looked very special.
Li Xiuping also nodded and said, "It's quite beautiful."
Huang Qing continued: "It's great to still be able to see such a scenery."
Li Xiuping hesitated and said, "You..."
Huang Qing turned to look at Li Xiuping and said with a smile: "I am already very satisfied. Junior uncle, there is no need to feel regretful."
Li Xiuping nodded and asked, "Do you have any other wishes?"
Huang Qing shook his head and said: "No, if I really want to say anything, I just hope that my junior uncle can be safe and sound."
Li Xiuping nodded, but still didn't speak.
Huang Qing looked at it for a while, and then turned to look at Li Xiuping. His head was already covered with white snow, but in his current state, he was unable to have substantial contact with the outside world, so there was not even a single snowflake on his body. .
"Uncle Junior, I'm leaving then." Huang Qing said with a smile, with more or less reluctance and a touch of loss in his eyes.
If the white hair can be replaced by snow, why would there be anyone in the world who takes pains? But even this snow-replaceable white head is so luxurious.
After Huang Qing finished speaking, his figure became more and more illusory, and finally disappeared completely with a gust of cold wind.
As Huang Qing disappeared, the Qing Mu also fell straight down and was stuck in the snow, and its original look also completely disappeared.
Li Xiuping just looked at the long sword on the ground. After a while, he pulled it out and put it into his Qiankun bag, and then prepared to turn around and return.
Just when Li Xiuping turned around, he suddenly frowned and looked directly into the distance.
One after another figures quickly approached this side, and then directly revealed magic weapons one after another.
As these strong men appeared, more figures appeared, killing directly towards those strong men.
The battle was about to break out, and countless strong men fell in an instant.
The sword cultivators on the side of the Sword Washing Pond kept blocking him, but the opponent was so menacing that they did not tremble with the sword cultivators in the Sword Washing Pond and went straight to Li Xiuping.
At this time, the four people from the academy appeared directly next to Li Xiuping, sacrificing all their magic weapons, and they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Li Xiuping stared at the powerful man in front who was still approaching, with a heavy expression on his face. He really didn't expect that Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower would choose this time to take action, and judging from the current posture, it was obvious that they would do it at all costs. Kill him here.
Li Xiuping said in a deep voice: "Go back."
After Li Xiuping finished speaking, he turned around and walked back.
Everyone in the academy did not dare to stop, they all turned around and ran away.
A sword energy fell directly from the sky, and then the entire street exploded instantly, blocking the way forward for Li Xiuping and others.
At the same time, figures continued to appear one after another, and countless magic weapons hovered directly around Li Xiuping and others.
Li Xiuping released all his sword intent, and countless immortal treasures appeared one after another, protecting everyone within them.
After those strong men appeared, they launched an attack without saying a word, and all the treasures were smashed towards Li Xiuping at the same time.
Li Xiuping directly exploded his sword intent, and countless immortal treasures rushed out in all directions to resist the attacks.
Accompanied by loud noises, explosions continued to occur around everyone, and the aftermath of the impact directly caused everyone in the academy to vomit blood.
In this kind of battle, even a strong person in the Golden Core stage cannot withstand the impact of the aftermath of the battle.
The four people in the academy felt uncomfortable, and Li Xiuping also felt uncomfortable. At this moment, blood and energy surged in his body, and his body was trembling slightly.
Li Xiuping took back all the immortal treasures, then forcibly drove them again, pushing all the driven immortal treasures forward and forcibly opening a passage.
After all the immortal treasures rushed out, Li Xiuping said coldly: "Let's go!"
Everyone in the academy was stunned for a moment, and then without any hesitation, they followed the magic weapons and left along the passage opened by Li Xiuping.
Use all the fairy treasures to open a passage. Li Xiuping has no foundation at this moment. Those strong men will naturally not let go of such an opportunity and use the magic weapons to attack Li Xiuping again.
A jade token appeared directly in Li Xiuping's hand, which was the jade talisman given by the strong man from the demon clan.
Now he has nothing that can resist those attacks, and he is not sure whether the jade hairpin on his head can be activated. The only way to save his life is this jade talisman.
All the treasures were getting closer and closer, but at this moment, all the fairy treasures were bounced away by an invisible force, and then a figure appeared out of thin air, holding a long sword.
As this person appeared, sword auras appeared out of thin air and enveloped Li Xiuping. Then the four people in the academy were also enveloped by the sword auras.
Before Li Xiuping had time to react, his body left the ground directly. When he reappeared, he was already beside the four disciples of the academy.
The swordsman in green shirt slowly fell down and looked up at the strong men who were constantly gathering in the sky.
As the blue-shirted swordsman appeared, countless sword cultivators from the sword washing pool also appeared, blocking Li Xiuping and others behind them, confronting the strong men who appeared one after another.
A strong man from Taiyi Pavilion took two steps forward, stared at the swordsman in blue, his eyebrows darkened, and said in a cold voice: "Do you really want to go against our two families in the sword washing pool?"
The blue-shirted swordsman smiled and said, "It is a matter of loyalty to someone who has entrusted you with your trust."
He continued: "I really didn't expect that you would actually dare to take action in Piaoxue City. You really don't give the city lord's palace any face."
The purple-robed Taoist snorted coldly, and then said directly: "Kill Li Xiuping at all costs. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, he formed a seal with his hands, and the air in front of him suddenly fluctuated violently, and then thunder continued to condense, and soon a huge spear appeared, with thunder and lightning entangled on it, and the momentum was astonishing.
As the old Taoist took action, the other powerful Taoists also formed seals, continuously releasing their true energy and condensing the driving energy on the spear. The spear became stronger and stronger, pointing directly at Li Xiuping.
The green-shirted swordsman felt the momentum of the spear, frowned slightly, raised his right hand slightly, and a long sword appeared out of thin air, and then the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to converge towards the long sword, and the entire long sword was instantly enveloped by countless sword energy.
The swordsman in blue said solemnly: "You block the Star Observation Tower and leave Taiyi Pavilion to me."
The sword cultivators in the sword-washing pool nodded at the same time, and then activated the long swords in their hands. Countless long swords continued to rise into the air, and then gathered together. With the sound of fine iron colliding, a huge long sword instantly appeared between heaven and earth.
After the long sword condensed, it slowly fell forward, with the tip of the sword pointed at the people in the Star Observation Tower.
On the other side of the Star Observation Tower, all the powerful men also took action, using their own secret techniques, and streams of light struck directly towards the giant sword.
At Taiyi Pavilion, everyone drove their spears directly towards Li Xiuping and others to suppress them. The swordsman in green raised his hand and rushed towards the spear with his long sword.
The spear and the sword collided, resulting in a stalemate. Waves of energy continued to attack the surroundings, and everything in their path was instantly turned into powder!
The energy of the impact continues to appear and superimpose, the scope affected is getting larger and larger, and more and more buildings are destroyed.
At this time, powerful auras appeared one after another, and then they took action at the same time, directly suppressing the energy of the impact, and finally directly broke the offensive of both sides.
More and more strong men appeared, and the momentum they exuded continued to build up, making everyone breathless.
City Lord's Mansion.
The strong men on both sides looked at the strong men in the City Lord's Mansion and all frowned.
Seeing the City Lord's Mansion take action, the swordsman in blue breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is not afraid of Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower joining forces, if they really want to fight, both sides will inevitably suffer considerable losses, and the absolute safety of Li Xiuping and others cannot be guaranteed. But now that the City Lord's Palace has intervened, even if Taiyi Pavilion No matter how crazy He Guan is, he will not stand directly on the opposite side of the City Lord's Mansion.
Sure enough, as the strong men from the City Lord's Mansion appeared, the strong men from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower withdrew their magical powers, and all of them looked so gloomy that they were scary.
Seeing that both sides had no intention of continuing to take action, a strong man walked out of the city lord's palace and said in a deep voice: "No matter what grudges you have, this is Piaoxue City, and there are rules of Piaoxue City. If anyone dares to break these rules, , don’t blame my city lord for being rude.”
Without waiting for Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower to speak, the strong man continued: "As for the matters in the ruins, the City Lord's Mansion has already started investigating. In a month at most, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. Before this, anyone who dares to take action in Piaoxue City will not be spared!"
Now that we have talked about it, whether it is Taiyi Pavilion or Star Observation Tower, it is naturally hard to say anything else.
They just couldn't figure out why the City Lord's Palace suddenly intervened in this matter, and why it happened so quickly.
According to common sense, even if the City Lord's Mansion really wants to intervene, it will be a little later.
The purple-robed old man in Taiyi Pavilion stared at Li Xiuping below, thinking about something.
Not long ago, a powerful man came from the Kunlun Mountains and reminded Taiyi Pavilion intentionally or unintentionally that it was best not to touch Li Xiuping for the time being. For what reason, the powerful man did not explain clearly.
In fact, Taiyi Pavilion had given up the plan to kill Li Xiuping at that time. It was only because of the ruins that Taiyi Pavilion couldn't bear it. Coupled with the cooperation of Star Observation Tower, this killing was carried out at all costs.
Now that the City Lord's Palace has intervened, no matter what the reason is, it is hard for them to take action directly.
The old purple-robed Taoist from Taiyi Pavilion said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
After speaking, he turned around and left first, followed by the powerful men from Taiyi Pavilion.
Seeing the people in Taiyi Pavilion leaving, the strong men in the Star Observation Tower no longer stayed. After taking a look at the strong men in the Sword Washing Pool, they also left.
After the strong men from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower left, the strong men from the City Lord's Mansion glanced at Li Xiuping and others, then saluted the blue-robed swordsman and left one after another.
After everyone left, the swordsman in blue took back his sword and the sword energy barrier that enveloped Li Xiuping and others.
Li Xiuping glanced at everyone in the academy and asked, "Is everything okay?"
While speaking, he took back the fairy treasures from before.
Everyone shook their heads, and Li Xiuping saluted the swordsman in blue and said, "Thank you, senior!"
The blue-shirted swordsman waved his hand, but his expression was not very pretty.
Just at that moment, Xijianchi suffered heavy losses. If the city lord's mansion hadn't taken action, the losses suffered by Xijianchi would have been even more serious.
It would be fine if Li Xiuping could really forge an immortal sword. If not, then the City Lord's Mansion would directly announce the situation of the deliberate concentration, and would no longer interfere with Li Xiuping's affairs. Then he would have to face the joint efforts of Star Observation Tower and Taiyi Pavilion alone. , even if Xijianchi showed all his information, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of Li Xiuping and others.
The green-robed swordsman waved his hand gently, and the powerful men in the sword-washing pool disappeared one after another, leaving only Li Xiuping and others on the street.
The swordsman in green shirt said: "Go back first."
Li Xiuping and others nodded and returned to their residence.
Because of the intervention of the City Lord's Mansion, there was no movement in Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower for a while. However, Li Xiuping knew very well that this was just the calm before the storm. Sooner or later, they would have to leave Piaoxue City, and at that time , it must be the time when Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower take action again.
During this period of time, the materials needed to cast the sword were gradually collected in the Sword Washing Pond, and the senior sword master clearly told Li Xiuping that the City Lord's Mansion would only give them one month, that is to say, one month After that, regardless of whether Li Xiuping and others succeeded in forging the fairy sword, they would have to leave Piaoxue City, and the city lord's palace would no longer interfere in their grudges.
In this way, all the pressure fell on Li Xiuping.
After returning the Mysterious Fire Token to the Demon Clan, Li Xiuping did not forge any more swords, so he himself did not know how much time it would take to forge an immortal sword, let alone an immortal sword. It's almost impossible.
But no matter what, besides forging swords, Li Xiuping has no other better way.
At this moment, Li Xiuping stood in the yard, looking at the casting furnace and casting platform that had just been built in front of him, and slowly closed his eyes.
After a long time, Li Xiuping first took out the flame fruit he had obtained in the Penglai Immortal Boat, threw it into the casting furnace, and then drove it. The burners in the entire casting furnace were suddenly blazing with fire.
As the flames burned in the casting furnace, Li Xiuping put the materials into the casting furnace one by one, carefully feeling the changes in the materials.
These materials are hard to come by, and many of them are even only one copy. Once they are destroyed or over-smelted, it will directly determine the success of the sword.
Coupled with Li Xiuping's inner nervousness, the amount of energy required was extremely huge. In just a short moment, Li Xiuping turned pale and sweated profusely. If it weren't for the willow tree in his body, he would have been Even the smelting of the first piece of material is difficult to complete.
Without the help of the Mysterious Fire Order, it would have been so laborious to smelt the materials. According to the current situation, it would take a lot of time and energy to smelt all the materials. After that, it would take a lot of time to successfully cast the fairy sword. It may not be as time-consuming as smelting, but the energy required will be several times that of now.
Li Xiuping could only let himself give up all worries.
At this point, he has no other choice. The more he thinks about it, the more experiences he will waste, and the more time he will waste. It is better not to think about anything, be content with the status quo, and go. Take it one step at a time.
After putting all thoughts aside, Li Xiuping rested for a while and then continued to smelt the second material.
Li Xiuping soon discovered that smelting was indeed much easier when there were no distracting thoughts. Then Li Xiuping completely gave up all distracting thoughts and focused entirely on smelting materials.
The junior uncle was smelting materials day and night, and the four people in the academy couldn't bear it, so they just stood aside and watched.
Like everyone in the academy, there are also those strong men in the Sword Washing Pool. Although they are all hiding in the dark, they are almost sleepless and pay close attention to the movements around them. Once there is any trouble, they will go to confirm the situation as soon as possible. The amount of energy consumed is actually not much better than that of Li Xiuping.
Time passed by so quietly, and half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Li Xiuping had almost completed smelting all the materials, and now he only had the last material left in his hand.
In the casting furnace, the flame fruit has been completely burned out, and the last piece of material can only be smelted entirely by yourself.
Li Xiuping did not rush to smelt the last piece of material, but directly sat down cross-legged and began to restore the losses in his body.
This process took Li Xiuping three days. After his body fully recovered, he took a long breath, then looked around, closed his eyes again, and began to feel the fluctuations of vitality between heaven and earth.
If we were in other places, it would not be difficult to feel the fire-attribute energy between heaven and earth, but in this snowy city with heavy snow falling, not only was it difficult to feel the fire-attribute energy, but it was even more difficult to drive it.
As Li Xiuping closed his eyes, the temperature between heaven and earth began to change, and the flying snow gradually decreased, and finally stopped completely. As if driven by something, red energy was continuously injected into the casting furnace, and then cast A blazing flame began to burn in the furnace.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the academy couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Before the flame fruit burned out, they were a little worried about how the young master could continue to forge swords, but now that they saw that the young master could drive the fire-attribute energy between heaven and earth, they were relieved, but they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
To drive all kinds of vitality between heaven and earth, you need to reach at least the golden elixir stage to do it, and you can only feel the attribute vitality that matches your own. However, this young uncle has not reached the golden elixir stage, and even if he can feel the between heaven and earth The vitality is not necessarily the fire attribute vitality.
The current situation shows that their worries are completely unnecessary.
As the casting furnace started to burn again, Li Xiuping put the last piece of material directly into the casting furnace for final smelting and fusion...
