As those strong men from Kunlun Mountain continued to appear, soon the whole river was filled with monks from Kunlun Mountain. At a glance, it was all white, as if there was an extra Milky Way hanging above the river out of thin air.
Those who followed Li Xiuping and others did not seem to expect that so many Kunlun Mountain monks would suddenly appear. You must know that even on the battlefield, these Kunlun Mountain strongmen are divided into various places and rarely appear together at the same time, let alone Say so much.
Does Mr. Li really have that much energy? To be able to be treated like this by Kunlun Mountain, you must know that among the strong men in Kunlun Mountain, the ones with the lowest strength are at the God Transformation stage, and those who even he can't see the depth will only be stronger.
Li Xiuping looked at the crowd of white people and frowned: "The person who came here is not a good person. It seems that we all guessed wrong before."
Layman Qingming did not speak, but narrowed his eyes.
It was difficult to deal with those cultivators in the God Transformation stage alone, not to mention that there was not only the God Transformation stage, but also the split-body integration stage, and there were even beings that even he couldn't see through. Those were at least those in the Tribulation Stage. .
With so many strong men and such a big battle, it was certainly impossible for them to just show up.
In this situation, unless the senior Jiu Xian takes action, they may have no hope of even escaping, let alone crossing the river today.
Li Xiuping continued: "Once the other party takes action, senior will lead them away first."
Layman Qingming frowned slightly but still said nothing.
Li Xiuping continued: "With the current situation, it doesn't really mean much whether the seniors stay or not. They probably don't dare to kill me yet, so there is still room for maneuver. But if the seniors stay, the situation will be different. "
Probably because he was afraid that he would not be able to convince Master Qingming, Li Xiuping continued: "Senior, don't forget that there is Senior Jiuxian behind me. Even if Kunlun Mountain wants to get rid of me again, it will have to be afraid of three points, but if I take action against you , but they won’t have any scruples.”
But layman Qingming shook his head and said: "I promised your master that I would protect you, so as long as I am still alive, I will not let you fall into their hands."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect this old guy to be so stubborn.
But the layman Qingming continued: "The two of them can be taken away by Master Huo Ling. Kunlun Mountain will not attack the two children, so I will stay. Otherwise, even if I leave today, I am afraid that Kunlun Mountain will be in trouble in the future." You won’t let me go easily.”
Li Xiuping saw layman Qingming insisting, so he said nothing more. Anyway, with the current situation, unless a powerful person from the Immortal Realm appears, nothing can be changed at all. Of course, the specifics still depend on what Kunlun Mountain wants to do.
If Kunlun Mountain is really determined to kill them all, then no matter what arrangements he makes now, it will be meaningless.
Li Xiuping said to the Huoling Master: "If I die today, please ask senior to send them to Guanchao Academy in the future."
Master Huo Ling frowned slightly, but quickly nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, as long as I survive, I will ensure that they arrive at the academy safely."
Li Xiuping nodded, looked at Chu Yan and Yang Erni, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if I'm not here in the future, the academy will protect you, and I will definitely not let you be bullied."
Chu Yan was wearing a forced smile at the moment, as if she might cry at any time, but Yang Erni looked unusually calm, as if she didn't care about her master's life or death at all. But in fact, who cares about Li Xiuping's life and death the most? He is Li Xiuping's great disciple, because Li Xiuping's life and death are completely linked to his and my future.
Although Li Xiuping said that no one would bully them in the academy from now on, he knew very well what his talents were. If he were to go to a place like the academy where geniuses gathered, without the care of his master, she would soon be overwhelmed and forgotten. .
After Li Xiuping finished speaking, he walked forward and said loudly: "I am really flattered by such a big battle in Kunlun Mountain."
A strong man from Kunlun Mountain also walked out of the crowd and said: "Li Xiuping, you used to have the cultivation base to destroy my Taoist sect. My Taoist sect will not care about you, but I didn't expect that you don't know how to restrain yourself, and now you are destroyed again." As the leader of my Taoist sect, Kunlun Mountain, I will not spare you today."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Sometimes I really feel that you people are a bit redundant. If you want to take action, just take action directly. Why find so many high-sounding reasons? Anyway, if you kill me, it is you who have the final say. Who has the final say? Do you dare to question and refute?"
The man continued: "We know that you only rely on the senior Jiu Xian to dare to do such evil. It's a pity that this time, even the senior Jiu Xian can't save you."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
The man continued: "The Immortal Realm is indeed powerful, but I, Kunlun Mountain, have inherited it for thousands of years and have the strength to compete with the Immortal Realm. Even if I can directly kill a strong Immortal Realm, I must prevent him from interfering with other things." Things are not difficult.”
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "It seems that this time, Kunlun Mountain has made up its mind and made full preparations. In this way, it seems that I really have only one way to die today, but why don't you take action? Even the Immortal Realm can If you block it, are you afraid that something will happen?"
The man then looked at the layman Qingming and said, "Although the layman has followed this man all the way, he still wants to be here because he wants to repay Mr. Ou Ye's favor. This is excusable. As long as the layman leaves now, I will be with Kunlun Mountain The identity of the elder guarantees that Kunlun Mountain will never cause any trouble to the lay people in the future."
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "If I just repay my kindness, I have already paid off my kindness when we were in Donghai. I just think this boy is pretty good and worthy of me to make a sword for him. When I made the sword for me, The old guy once said that the sword was made for protection, and only in this way can it truly stop the fight. Now that I see this devastated world, I feel that this statement makes more sense."
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have been wielding a sword in the cultivation world for thousands of years, but I have always been at a loss. Apart from cultivation, there seems to be nothing else to do. Now I finally have one thing to do. , of course we have to do it well.”
The strong man from Kunlun Mountain frowned and said, "I'm afraid I can't save him with just you, so why make unnecessary sacrifices."
Master Qingming smiled and said: "Whether you can keep it is one thing, whether you can keep it or not is another matter."
As he spoke, a small purple cauldron appeared out of thin air in front of him.
After the small cauldron appeared, it rotated rapidly, and then the light burst out, and then a sword spirit exuding ancient aura appeared from the small cauldron, penetrating between heaven and earth.
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "I know that I have no hope of surviving the calamity in this life, but at this moment, I want to give it a try, so I will use the Kunlun Mountains to prove my inferior swordsmanship. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the fairy sword Qingming behind him began to tremble violently, as if he felt some kind of call.
As the sword left the scabbard, the ancient sword intention that penetrated the world also disappeared directly, and then all merged into the body of layman Qingming.
With the integration of this sword intent, the aura of layman Qingming began to rise continuously, until it reached the peak of the integration stage and was still growing.
Master Qingming seemed to be a different person at this moment. In fact, with the integration of the sword intention, his whole person began to become younger. His original old body suddenly turned into the body of a mature man. A head of gray hair also turned directly into black.
He turned into a young man in an instant!
Master Qingming laughed and said: "It is said that Kunlun Mountain has been inherited for thousands of years and has countless treasures. The entire Kunlun Mountain is full of powerful people. Even if it is against the Immortal Realm, it is capable of fighting, but I don't know how to face this person from another world. Can Kunlun Mountain bear the thunder from the sky?"
The strong men in Kunlun Mountain all frowned at this moment, because the intention of Master Qingming was already obvious. He actually wanted to forcefully break through the Tribulation Stage, and then use the power of the Tribulation Thunder in the Tribulation Stage to compete with the entire Kunlun Mountain.
The power of the tribulation thunder during the tribulation period can be said to be the most terrifying existence among all the tribulation thunders. A monk may fall during the process of transcending the tribulation. Now this layman Qingming, one of the eight sages, He actually wanted to use the tribulation thunder from the tribulation period to counter Kunlun Mountain, and this was just to protect Li Xiuping.
At their level, they naturally know what it means to do so.
When a strong man in the integration stage overcomes the tribulation, he can indeed use the power of the tribulation thunder to fight against the enemy, but the outcome is also obvious. Under the powerful tribulation thunder, his body and soul disappear, and he is completely wiped out.
Is it really worth it for a monk who has been practicing for thousands of years and a swordsman who has already reached the integration stage to do this for a young man?
But whether it's worth it or not, if Master Qingming really does that, it will indeed be a big trouble for the entire Kunlun Mountains. At least they monks below the Tribulation Stage will not be able to resist the power from another world.
If they come into contact with that power, they will also end up in ashes.
As expected, the leader has calculated everything accurately, so even if he has a thorough plan this time, he still has to follow him, just to deal with the current change.
In other words, even if this swordsman in the integration stage really breaks through forcefully today and uses the power of the thunder to fight against Kunlun Mountain, nothing will change in the end, because in front of a strong man in the Mahayana stage, this approach is just accelerating death. That’s all.
As Master Qingming forcibly merged with the sword intent, the small purple cauldron exploded directly. Above the sky, the sea of clouds surged for a moment, forming a huge vortex. And the huge vortex formed by the clouds In it, there was a glowing light, as if there was a red sun hidden in it, but it was obscured by the clouds, so it tried its best to shine through.
A terrifying aura that can destroy the world is also constantly being born in the whirlpool, making people feel a little breathless.
Seeing no movement from Master Qingming, Li Xiuping and others all stepped back and were dozens of feet away in an instant.
As the distance increased, Li Xiuping and others were able to see the situation above the sea of clouds more clearly.
I saw that among the layers of black clouds, those black clouds seemed to be affected by the force inside, slowly rotating in a clockwise direction, and every time the vortex rotated, it would drop one point, and its position The terrifying aura that erupted also strengthened downwards.
Under that force, layman Qingming was naturally the first to bear the brunt. Although his body was wrapped in powerful sword intent, the ground beneath his feet continued to explode, so that the entire river boiled.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel a little worried, because he had a feeling that although layman Qingming had become extremely powerful at this moment, and although his whole person had become countless younger, it was more like a reflection of his past.
Li Xiuping could naturally see that Master Qingming was not truly overcoming the catastrophe, but was relying on that sword intent to forcibly increase his own strength, thus causing the catastrophe.
Before the fight even started, Master Qingming had already chosen this method. This was because Master Qingming knew very well that once they really started to fight, they would have no power to fight back, so they could only choose this method before taking action. , and there must be no hesitation.
It can be seen that the layman Qingming has already predicted that he will die today, so he will use his own cultivation and his life in exchange for the power to compete with Kunlun Mountain.
The price he had to pay for the exchange was that his cultivation would be gone forever, and even his life would be annihilated.
The decision made by Master Qingming could be said to be so sudden that even Li Xiuping had no preparation.
Because Li Xiuping never thought that one day this old man would actually sacrifice his life to protect himself.
It turned out that after being with this old man for so long, he still failed to understand him, just like he still failed to understand his master until now. Therefore, although layman Qingming did this to protect him, he still felt that it was not worth it.
He is a dying person. If he cannot find the Flower Fairy, even if he does not die today, he will die in the near future. But Qingming is different. Although he has lived for thousands of years, he still knows that he will die in this life. There is no hope of transcending the Tribulation Stage, but he is a strong man in the Fusion Stage after all. After all, he can do many more meaningful things with his cultivation, and he should not die here in such a meaningless thing. above.
Yes, dying for him was meaningless in Li Xiuping's own opinion.
Because now Li Xiuping can face his own death calmly and accept his death calmly.
It is hard to imagine that a young man in his early twenties could already face death so calmly. The key is that this guy was an extremely afraid of death before, and even practiced just to live forever.
It is precisely because of this that it can be seen that the various things he experienced after embarking on the path of spiritual practice had a huge impact on him, especially after the battle with the demon king, he went south all the way, and in just two years , but it made him seem to have lived his whole life.
It is also these short two years or so that make him feel more meaningful than ever before, because he can no longer rely on anyone or any external objects, and can also rely on himself to protect himself, and even protect those around him. people.
He also accepted two apprentices, one had no talent but had a persevering heart, and the other had extraordinary talent, far better than those so-called geniuses.
This can be regarded as a report to the academy from his junior uncle at Guanchao Academy, and it can also be regarded as the fact that he has found someone for the old man who can pass on the mantle.
He felt that as long as he could face death calmly, no one would be implicated by him anymore.
But now, the old man has dedicated all of himself, even his life, to him...
