Facing the magical powers driven by so many strong men in Taiyi Pavilion at the same time, the blue-shirted swordsman's face remained calm. He raised his right hand slightly, activated the sword technique, and the long sword unsheathed itself, and then the originally still air around him suddenly fluctuated violently.
As the long sword was unsheathed, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth poured into the long sword like torrents.
This spiritual energy was absorbed by the long sword, and the expressions of the powerful men in Taiyi Pavilion suddenly changed, because the spiritual energy they could drive was beginning to decrease at this moment.
In a battle of this level, the competition is no longer about who is stronger and has a higher realm, but who can absorb more power, because there is only so much power in the world, who can get more power, who can There is a certainty of victory.
It is precisely because of this that the higher the grade of the weapon, the greater the help it will bring to a monk, because when absorbing the power of heaven and earth, in addition to being related to the monk's realm and cultivation level, it mainly depends on the monk's use. The grade of the magic weapon.
The sword master's ability to absorb so much energy from heaven and earth has a lot to do with the sword in addition to the sword master's own cultivation level.
So before the two sides formally fought, the confrontation had already begun, both of them were frantically absorbing the energy between heaven and earth.
As time went on, those powerful men from Taiyi Pavilion seemed to know that they could not defeat the sword master. One of them said in a deep voice: "You go after Li Xiuping."
As soon as the words fell, countless strong men left the team and planned to continue moving forward.
"snort!"
The green-shirted swordsman snorted coldly, activated his sword skills, and flew out the long sword directly, charging towards the powerful men of Taiyi Pavilion who were preparing to chase Li Xiuping.
At the same time, the other Taiyi Pavilion powerhouses also launched a direct attack, slamming the gathered energy directly at the blue-shirted swordsman.
The green-robed swordsman held his sword skills again and said in a deep voice: "Get up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword energy centered on his body and shot directly into the sky. A huge sword appeared in front of him, just enough to completely block him.
The gathered energy directly hit the giant sword and dissipated instantly. The giant sword was like a mountain, standing still.
On the other side, those Taiyi Pavilion experts who were preparing to chase Li Xiuping were attacked by long swords and had no choice but to retreat. However, some were still severely injured by the sword and lost their ability to fight.
The green-shirted swordsman's body slowly left the ground at this time, and he continued to rise along the giant sword in front of him. In an instant, he was on par with the strong men of Taiyi Pavilion.
The giant sword disappeared, and the long sword returned directly to his hand.
The strong men in Taiyi Pavilion looked heavy at this moment, thinking that the Taoist said solemnly: "Set up the formation!"
After the words fell, all the powerful men of Taiyi Pavilion sacrificed all their magic weapons.
Since there is no energy in the world for the time being, they can only rely on the power of their own magic weapons to attack. This is also their only advantage now. This advantage is reflected in quantity, whether it is the number of magic weapons or the number of people.
They all know that this sword master is very powerful, and even the strong ones in the Tribulation Stage may not be his opponents, but in the end, he is only one person, after all, he only has one sword, and after all, he is only in the Fusion Stage.
Although in the face of absolute strength, the role of quantity can be almost negligible, but it is not impossible, not to mention that this sword master is far from reaching the so-called "absolute strength".
Under the immortals, they are all mortals, so no matter how powerful people are, their manpower will be exhausted. As long as they continue to consume the Sword Master's physical strength, they will be able to kill the Sword Master sooner or later, but they need to pay a high price. .
According to common sense, if the sword master wants to leave, it is impossible for them to keep him, but now the sword master is obviously trying his best to stop them and buy time for Li Xiuping, then they will have a chance. Relying on the advantage of numbers to defeat the sword master.
Taiyi Pavilion still dare not decide whether Li Xiuping is dead or alive. At least even if Li Xiuping stands in front of them, they do not dare to kill him directly. But one thing is certain, that is, from now on, There will definitely be a battle between Xijianchi and Taiyi Pavilion. If the strongest person in Xijianchi can be seriously injured or even killed, then Taiyi Pavilion will be completely invincible in the future battles between the two families.
If Taiyi Pavilion can destroy the Sword Washing Pool, one of the Holy Lands, and then support a sect that is completely under its control, it will be a matter of great significance to Taiyi Pavilion, and it will be able to stand at the top of the Seven Holy Lands in the future. , it is not impossible to even challenge Sanshan.
Kunlun Mountain is the orthodox Taoist sect and has the supreme inheritance of Taoism. Taiyi Pavilion, which is also a Taoist, naturally cannot take advantage of Kunlun Mountain; Qingqiu Mountain is deep in the hinterland of the monster clan. Unless the entire monster clan is wiped out, it will also take Qingqiu Mountain's idea. It's not realistic either, but Lingtai Mountain is not.
If Taiyi Pavilion can suppress Lingtai Mountain, from now on in the entire cultivation world, there will be two Taoist sects in the three mountains. Whether it is Buddhism, Confucianism, or the Sword Sect, they will no longer have the strength to compete with Taoism, so even if Taoism's Qi No matter how bad your luck is, you will still have an unshakable position for thousands of years to come.
If that's the case, the sacrifices they made today are worth it. Even if they all die here, they will be included in the Taoist code and passed down from generation to generation.
…
After Li Xiuping separated from the blue-shirted swordsman, he changed his route and headed southeast, running wildly without stopping at all.
He has never been here before and has never had any understanding, so Li Xiuping has no idea how long it will take to leave this snowfield and how long it will take to reach the so-called Feixue City, let alone one of the four cities. Emperor Wu City.
Emperor Wu City is in the east. Li Xiuping knows this. Mr. Ouye also mentioned Emperor Wu City at the beginning, so after arriving at Emperor Wu City, he should be able to find some helpers. Li Xiuping also knows this, but the key now is, how much help is needed How long and how far do you need to walk?
He couldn't control the sword, so he could only run wildly. This kind of wild running took a lot of damage to his physical strength and sword intention, but fortunately, he had the pot of wine and the willow tree in his body, which could offset this loss, so as long as the pot of wine didn't After drinking, it wouldn't be a big problem even if he kept running without stopping.
Li Xiuping focused on one direction and ran all the way, feeling the changes behind him from time to time. When he found that no other strong man was catching up, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry about the situation of the senior sword master.
Although the senior sword master is very powerful, he is only one person now, and what he needs to face is the strong men of the entire Taiyi Pavilion and the strong men of the Star Observation Tower. Those are the two holy places, the second largest in the world. The terrifying existence of the Second Immortal and the Three Mountains, not to mention that the senior Sword Master had been injured before...
But it was useless to worry now. He could only pray in his heart that the senior sword master could leave safely.
As he continued running, Li Xiuping found that the snow began to get smaller, and the howling cold wind gradually weakened. It seemed that he was about to leave this seemingly endless snowfield.
After continuing to move forward for a while, Li Xiuping could vaguely see a city ahead. The city was not big, and because it was still far away, he could only barely see an outline.
Li Xiuping was overjoyed and sped up and ran towards the city.
In fact, even Feixue City still can't escape the situation he needs to face now, so even Li Xiuping doesn't know what he is expecting.
Perhaps because Feixue City is the first goal mentioned by the senior sword master, as long as he reaches Feixue City, he will be one step closer to success and one step less dangerous. Or maybe it is because he has arrived. In Feixue City, the senior Sword Master will arrive soon, so the safety of the senior Sword Master will be somewhat guaranteed...
As he continued to get closer, Li Xiuping was gradually able to see the city in front of him clearly, and he could also see the plaque hanging on the city tower.
"Dongao City."
Not Feixue City.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't slow down and still rushed towards the city.
But the next moment, Li Xiuping couldn't help but slow down, and his heart instantly became heavy.
On the tower in front, there were actually seven or eight strong men in bright red robes standing there, and these strong men seemed to be waiting for his arrival here.
Star Observation Tower.
Li Xiuping was still about a hundred feet away from the city wall. He stopped and stared at the powerful people in the star observation tower on the city wall.
At this moment, a strong man from the Star Observation Tower said: "Master Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Xiuping did not answer, but fell into thinking, thinking about how to deal with it, and thinking about how to get rid of these guys.
Li Xiuping knew very well that anything he said at this time was redundant, because judging from the previous attitude of the Star Observation Tower, it was impossible to keep him alive, unlike the guys from Taiyi Pavilion who would have scruples.
Therefore, for Li Xiuping now, meeting the powerful people from Star Observation Tower is far more troublesome and dangerous than meeting the powerful people from Taiyi Pavilion.
Logically speaking, the other party would not talk nonsense to him. After all, they had always attacked him directly when they encountered each other before, but now the other party took the initiative to greet him. Could it be that he felt that he had no chance to escape?
In fact, the senior sword master is still dealing with other strong men, and it will be impossible to arrive in a while, and his only life-saving jade talisman has been used up. At this moment, there is no life-saving thing on him, and there is no strong man. You can rely on it, but isn’t it a certain death situation?
Li Xiuping smiled and replied: "Although your Star Observation Tower is in an embarrassing situation, we don't necessarily have to die. In the final analysis, this hatred is all caused by Taiyi Pavilion. If we join forces, the Star Observation Tower can not only By joining forces with Guanchao Academy and Sword Washing Pond, we can directly obtain the immortal weapons I refine in the future. By then, we can suppress Taiyi Pavilion. If the three of them join forces, can we solve the situation that Stargazing Pavilion needs to face now?"
The strong man from the Star Observation Tower smiled and said: "What Mr. Li said makes sense, but we know exactly who Mr. Li is. Even if it is true as Mr. Li said, let's put aside our past grievances and fight against Taiyi together. Pavilion, I am afraid that Mr. Li will not let the Star Observation Tower exist after that... To say the least, even if Mr. Li allows it, can the Sword Washing Pond and Guanchao Academy agree? Although Mr. Li is the Junior Master of Guanchao Academy, Xi Jian Chi Ye has high hopes for Mr. Li, but since there is no time for New Year greetings, Mr. Li’s status in the two holy places is actually irrelevant. Naturally, the words and promises made by Mr. Li cannot be guaranteed."
This is true. In fact, they are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years and have seen things thoroughly.
The reason why Li Xiuping talked to the other party was actually just to delay time.
Of course, the delay is not to wait for the so-called rescue, because no one can save him except himself now.
The only person he can rely on now is naturally only himself, his other self.
So when the other party was talking, Li Xiuping asked directly: "How sure are you?"
In the spiritual sea, Li Xiuping, who was sitting on a flower receptacle, replied: "If it was 40% before, now it should be 50%."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "So low?"
"Li Xiuping" on the flower receptacle sneered: "It's not low. Two strong people in the distraction stage, six strong people in the transformation stage, not to mention you, even if they meet a strong person in the integration stage, they will have to pay a lot of effort." price."
Li Xiuping then asked: "If you were allowed to control your body, would you be able to wield a sword?"
"Li Xiuping" on the tori said: "You don't need to control your body, you can continue moving forward, I just need to stop them. As for how far you can throw it, it depends on you."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
"Li Xiuping" on the flower receptacle continued: "Leave all the fairy treasures to me. Just in case, you take the sword with you."
Before Li Xiuping could answer, the willow tree began to release energy in his body, and then the energy continued to be released along the meridians of Li Xiuping's body, and another Li Xiuping condensed around Li Xiuping.
This situation is similar to the method used by the senior sword master before. Although the two Li Xiuping are exactly the same, they are completely different in terms of breath and feeling.
With the appearance of this Li Xiuping, Li Xiuping found that the willow tree in his body had completely lost its function. Apart from that, although there were no other changes in his body, Li Xiuping had a feeling that his next strength would completely stay at the level of building. Base period, and once it suffers losses, it will be difficult to recover as before, but will directly return to the situation before the willow tree.
The situation here was naturally noticed by the strong men in Taiyi Pavilion. At this moment, the two strong men in the distraction stage also showed their clones and rushed towards Li Xiuping. The strong men in the transformation stage also followed closely. back.
Without any hesitation, Li Xiuping took out all the immortal treasures, handed them to his other self, and then ran towards the south.
At this moment, Li Xiuping felt empty in his heart. Many things that he had not been able to understand before seemed to be understood at this moment, such as the so-called inheritance he had received from the ruins of the ancient battlefield.
Li Xiuping had never been able to figure out what the so-called inheritance was before. Some secret techniques that he had never been exposed to were inexplicably able to be used, such as the secret technique used to save Huang Qing.
At this moment, Li Xiuping finally knew that the so-called inheritance was not passed on to himself, but to another self. When he was at the ruins of the ancient battlefield, the master whom the immortal knelt down and called was not him. , but another him.
But because although they are completely independent individuals, they are involved with each other. If one of them is injured, it will cause relative damage to the other. Therefore, in these cases, it is not whether the other is willing or not, but whether he has to do it or not. , it’s the other person who can’t suppress himself, it’s him who needs to do something according to his own wishes.
This sounds very mysterious, and Li Xiuping can't explain it now. After all, he knows nothing about the so-called distraction period, but he knows one thing. The two selves will eventually merge into one. As for who is the leader, Li Xiuping Shuhei didn't know it, but after the fusion, either one of them would have huge benefits, such as an improvement in realm and strength.
But to complete this fusion, it is obviously not an easy task. At least they must ensure that their realms and strengths are equal. This is why there was such a situation of mutual complementation before.
Logically speaking, the higher the strength of the other self, the more beneficial it is to him. After all, he has enough dominance in the realm of strength, but in order to achieve fusion, he had to help Li Xiuping improve his realm of strength. , allowing Li Xiuping to reach a state where he can be on par with him.
So this is actually just something that the other person doesn't want to do, but has to do, just like he must stand up now to protect himself and leave safely.
As for the willow tree, it is the key to nurturing another self, because only the strong vitality of that willow tree can allow him to have the soul that can only be possessed by the God Transformation stage while he is in the Foundation Establishment stage. It is because of the existence of the willow tree that the Yuanshen can leave the body and become a whole.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuping instantly felt like a tool, walking step by step on the path that had been arranged long ago, and creating the current situation step by step.
And everything he has comes from another self. Now that the other self has left his body, he is the original self, the one who only has the strength of the foundation building stage and can only rely on his own sword power.
And now that all the immortal treasures have been handed over to his other self, all he can rely on is the hatchet, the flying sword, and the jade hairpin on his head that he doesn't know when it will come into use.
Li Xiuping's mood at the moment was heavy, relaxed, and worried about the future...
After running forward like this for a while, Li Xiuping suddenly frowned.
After leaving Dongao City, heading south, the cold feeling had long since disappeared, but at this moment, the cold feeling appeared again, and there were snowflakes dancing continuously.
After the flying snow fell, it continued to condense, and then a figure appeared directly.
A woman wearing a snow-white dress looked like she had been condensed by heavy snow, because even her hair was snow-white.
The flying snow was still hovering, so Li Xiuping couldn't fully see the woman's appearance, but Li Xiuping had a feeling that this woman must be extremely beautiful.
Waves of chill kept coming towards him, causing Li Xiuping to stop involuntarily.
The flying snow in front finally stopped, and the woman was fully revealed in front of Li Xiuping's eyes.
She was indeed a very beautiful woman, but also an extremely cold woman.
Li Xiuping had only seen two similar women, one was his senior sister, and the other was the person in front of him, but the person in front of him was even colder than his senior sister.
Li Xiuping frowned and secretly activated the flying sword, fully alert.
"Are you Li Xiuping?"
When the woman spoke, her voice was even colder than hers.
Li Xiuping nodded, not knowing whether this person was an enemy or a friend, and said nothing...
