Master Huo Ling guessed the strength of the other party at the Yuan Ying stage, but he did not guess that the other party turned out to be a Yuan Ying stage sword cultivator.
Although there are many swordsmen in the entire cultivation world, the possibility of encountering them casually is not high. Now that he encounters them, it is considered bad luck.
With his current strength, if he were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, he would be able to deal with it, but that was not necessarily the case for sword cultivators, because even at his peak, the possibility of winning against a sword cultivator of the same level was very low. In addition, having been killed by Li Xiuping once before, Master Huo Ling was actually a little afraid of the sword cultivator.
Now this sword wants to kill three people at the same time. If he saves both of them, he will have to pay some price. It is of course impossible to be killed directly by the opponent, but injury is inevitable, and once he is injured, he will be completely Without the power to fight, if the other party takes action again, the three of them will die.
Therefore, if he wanted to protect himself, he had to give up one of Chu Yan and Yang Erni, and with the state of the two little girls, no matter who they were, they would definitely die under that sword.
Just when Huo Ling was hesitating, the sword was already in front of him. Huo Ling didn't think much about it. He stepped forward and at the same time released all his true energy. While resisting the sword, he pushed Chu Yan away. and Yang Erni pushed back.
He had to protect both of them, because both little girls were Li Xiuping's apprentices, because compared to the swordsman in front of him, Li Xiuping was obviously more terrifying. He now only hopes that after he blocks this sword, someone strong from Tianchan Temple will take action. Otherwise, as long as the opponent strikes another sword, the three of them can only watch and wait to die.
There was an explosion, and the sword energy was everywhere. Before the two little girls who retreated could figure out what happened, they saw the real Huo Ling who had stepped forward fly directly backwards, overtaking them in an instant, and collided with them. After hitting the wall behind, the entire wall exploded instantly, and Huoling Zhenren was directly buried in the ruins, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The sword cultivator obviously didn't intend to kill the three of them with one sword, so at this moment, he changed the sword technique in his hand and struck out with another sword.
With this sword strike, the opponent would no longer be able to resist, and would only be dead. Therefore, after this sword strike, the sword cultivator no longer paid attention to the situation of the three of them, but turned to look at the young man.
However, the sword was still blocked. Just when the two little girls Chu Yan and Yang Erni were forced to bleed from the mouth and nose by the sword energy, the sword suddenly held up out of thin air, and then exploded out of thin air.
After all, it is a spiritual sword, and its exploding power should not be underestimated. But at this moment, the exploding power of the sword disappeared out of thin air, as if what exploded was not a powerful spiritual sword, but a water splash. .
Beside Yang Erni and Chu Yan, there was another person at this moment, a young man wearing a black robe, but he was covered in a gray-white mink fur, with a wine bottle hanging on his waist and a hatchet.
The person who came was none other than Li Xiuping, who had disappeared for almost a month.
Neither Chu Yan nor Yang Erni, nor Huoling Zhenren, who was crawling out of the ruins to make a final struggle, did not expect Li Xiuping to appear at this time.
They did not wait for Tianchan Temple to take action, but instead waited for Li Xiuping.
Seeing Li Xiuping, both the two little girls and Master Huo Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but the expressions of the three of them soon changed.
Master Huo Ling took a deep breath, showed a smile, and then sat down on the spot to recover from his injuries. Chu Yan's eyes were watery, as if she might cry at any time. She was so wronged to the extreme. As for Yang Erni, He lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake and was afraid of being punished by Li Xiuping.
"Master..." Chu Yan choked and spoke, and as she spoke these words, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, tears fell down, and she burst into tears.
Although Li Xiuping didn't know what was going on, he actually didn't care. What he saw now was that his two apprentices were beaten, and even the Golden Core Master Huo Ling was beaten. He was seriously injured, which meant that the other party had killed him.
As for whether Chu Yan and the others have told her about their relationship, it obviously doesn't matter, because even if they did, the other party wouldn't believe it. As for why Chu Yan and others appeared here? Why didn’t Tianchan Temple come forward to stop it? These are not things to consider now.
As soon as Li Xiuping raised his hand, Chu Yan and Yang Erni were enveloped in radiant light, suppressing their injuries. Then he looked at Chu Yan and said, "Okay, I'm back now."
Maybe it was Li Xiuping who helped her suppress the injury so that it wasn't so painful anymore, or maybe it was Li Xiuping's words that made her dare not cry anymore, so Chu Yan stopped her tears immediately and wiped them with her free hand. Tears on face.
Not far away, layman Qingming and the blue water unicorn were standing on the street. At this moment, layman Qingming waved to the two little girls, and then at Li Xiuping's signal, the two little girls ran over.
Originally, the Nascent Soul sword cultivator had turned around, but he could sense the destruction of the spirit sword very quickly, so when Li Xiuping appeared, he turned around suddenly and stared at the sudden appearance of Li Xiuping. He never thought of destroying it. The one who lost his sword turned out to be such a young man, but the young man didn't seem to care about him at all and just talked to the two little girls.
At this time, Li Xiuping turned around, looked at the Nascent Soul sword cultivator with his eyes, and said with a smile: "You are very courageous. You dare to kill even my apprentice. After all, how do you want to die? Who is there to rely on behind you?"
The Nascent Soul sword cultivator frowned and did not answer Li Xiuping's question. Instead, he asked: "Who are you?"
Li Xiuping said coldly: "If I ask you a question, just answer it honestly."
After saying that, no movement was seen from him. The expression of the Nascent Soul sword cultivator suddenly changed, and then his whole body fell directly to the ground. Even if he kept releasing his strength to resist, it had no effect.
He was not far away from the young man at the moment, so this kind of coercion also directly acted on the young man. The young man who was already seriously injured was finally able to stabilize himself because of the attack of the Nascent Soul sword cultivator. , at this moment all previous efforts were wasted, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.
In his current situation, unless there is an elixir, it may be difficult to recover.
The Nascent Soul sword cultivator knelt on the ground and said in horror: "Are you Li Xiuping!?"
Li Xiuping did not answer him, but moved forward, but the Nascent Soul Stage monk could only watch Li Xiuping walk in step by step, unable to move at all.
At such an age and with such a level of cultivation, he really couldn't think of anyone else besides Li Xiuping.
After the young man spat out a mouthful of blood, he was already filled with fear. Now when he heard the words of the Nascent Soul sword cultivator, he was suddenly shocked.
The reason why he came to Evergreen City was because he heard that Evergreen City had the legendary Mr. Li, a fairy-like figure who had just appeared in the world of cultivation not long ago but had created countless legends.
He was originally an ordinary monk, but his master said that he had a high talent in martial arts. Originally, martial arts had no future, but his master said that Li Xiuping had unlocked some secrets of martial arts practice. , so let him practice according to Li Xiuping's practice method, starting with martial arts, building the foundation, and then touching the sword. Once he succeeds, even if he cannot reach the heights of Li Xiuping in the future, he will still be superior to other monks. at.
This made him, who already admired Li Xiuping, feel his admiration for Li Xiuping like a river. So this time he went out with his uncle for training. When he heard that Li Xiuping appeared in Changqing City, he wanted to come over and have a look. , even if you can't see the legendary figure, it's not bad to be able to go to the places where Li Xiuping has been.
But he never dreamed that the little beggar sitting on the street would be Li Xiuping's disciple, nor did he expect that the person he injured would be Li Xiuping's disciple.
He had seen Li Xiuping, but he never expected that it would be in such a way and that he would offend Li Xiuping.
He had heard that no one who had offended Mr. Li, be it an individual or a powerful person, would end up well. Now he was about to become one of them. The key was that no one would know of his existence.
Even if Li Xiuping killed him, it would be the same as an ordinary person crushing an ant to death. People might mention the person who crushed the ant to death, but they would certainly not care about the ant that was crushed to death.
As Li Xiuping got closer and closer, the Nascent Soul sword cultivator was sweating profusely and said at this moment: "Master Li, please listen to my explanation. There must be a misunderstanding."
Li Xiuping still kept walking and said: "I don't care if you misunderstood me. I only know that you almost killed my apprentice when I was away. If I hadn't caught up just in time, my two apprentices would have suffered the same fate as you." The poisonous hand of Yuanying Stage Sword Cultivator is really powerful. You can decide the life and death of others with a snap of your fingers. But now your life and death are also in my hands. I wonder how you feel? "
He shook his head and continued: "Of course, I don't care how you feel. I don't even care who is right or wrong in this matter. It's just because you almost killed my apprentice, so I killed him." It’s as simple as that.”
The young man's eyes widened at this moment. He still couldn't believe that Li Xiuping actually wanted to kill him, and that he would die by Li Xiuping's hands.
Li Xiuping finally stopped at this moment, and he was already standing in front of the Nascent Soul sword cultivator, and asked again: "After all, who are you relying on behind you? I want to see what it is like." Characters can give you such courage. Also, don't feel wronged. I understand my people myself. Even if there is a misunderstanding, it will not be to the point where we have to face each other life and death, unless we are forced."
"Master, please let them go."
At this time, Yang Erni suddenly spoke.
This sudden sentence caught everyone's surprise, including Li Xiuping, so he couldn't help but frown and looked at Yang Erni on the street. In fact, everyone's eyes were also focused on that little girl at this moment...
