Xu Bansheng stood on the Long River of Ten Thousand Swords, looking at Li Xiuping in front of him, feeling proud in his heart. What is scenery?
Even the emperors on earth are not as good as him at this moment. Xu has no regrets in his life to have such a brother.
Xu Bansheng couldn't help but recall the situation when they first met. If he hadn't said those words, they would not have gotten to know each other, and his master would not have accepted Li Xiuping under the pressure of various forces. Then Li Xiuping Then they would not have become his junior brothers, and they would not have suffered the life and death hardships that followed... Until now, those few soldiers have been immersed in this kind of shock and have been unable to recover for a long time.
Probably knowing that there would be no more obstacles, Xu Bansheng simply sat down on Li Xiuping's rune and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, if my brother comes to save me, no one can stop him." The soldiers listened to Xu Bansheng's words, but they just nodded blankly.
They knew about Xu Bansheng, but they really didn't know that Xu Bansheng had such a brother. All the things he had done before were beyond human control. The seemingly ordinary young man had become a fairy-like existence.
The crowd just went south all the way, with thousands of swords clearing the way, escorted by countless sword cultivators from the Sword Washing Pond, and they passed unimpeded until they entered the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
On the border between the two countries, the Xia Dynasty's army is still eyeing it and may move south at any time. The Zhou Dynasty is waiting for it, and the atmosphere is heavy.
At this moment, both the Zhou Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty were all looking up at the sky, watching the vast river of thousands of swords pouring into the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
As the long river fell, countless long swords soon rose into the sky, and then fell towards the Xia Dynasty army.
Those swords were all sword cultivators from the Xia Dynasty, and they were all returned to the Xia Dynasty at this moment, but the way they were returned was a bit unacceptable, at least for the Xia Dynasty.
There are rules in the world of spiritual practice that practitioners cannot participate in the battles between secular dynasties. However, this rule has been completely broken now. Even the Guanchao Academy cannot easily violate the rules. However, this young master of the academy will It looks like nothing.
With so many long swords falling continuously, no matter how brave and skilled the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty were, they were still mortal bodies. How could they withstand them? In just an instant, they were already defeated.
This was originally a great opportunity for the Zhou Dynasty to counterattack, but now there is no movement from the entire Zhou Dynasty, because this turning point happened so fast that no one could react.
Naturally, Xu Bansheng would not let go of such an opportunity, so after falling behind, he did not catch up with Li Xiuping, but rushed directly to the coach's camp. Soon the Zhou Dynasty launched a counterattack, and the mighty army marched towards the territory of the Xia Dynasty Advance.
First Li Xiuping took action, and now the Zhou Dynasty army counterattacked. The Xia Dynasty had no choice but to retreat again and again, and soon withdrew from the original position and defended it in a nearby city.
Li Xiuping paid no attention to all this. At this moment, he saluted the senior sword master in the sword-washing pool and said, "Thank you, senior, for your help, otherwise this trip would not have been so easy." The sword master said with a smile: "We just did the icing on the cake. Even if we don't take action this time, those people alone can't stop you." He looked at Li Xiuping and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to disappear after six years. It has become so powerful that even I can’t see the depth.” When he said this, there was praise and relief.
In any case, Li Xiuping can be regarded as the person who has inherited his mantle, so the stronger Li Xiuping is, the more gratified he will naturally be.
Likewise, he still found it a bit unbelievable that a person could grow to such an extent in just six years. This was unprecedented in the history of the spiritual world.
You must know that six years ago, this guy still needed him to escort him all the way to save his life from the falling snow. What happened back then is still vivid in my mind. Looking back, it seems like it happened yesterday. But now, standing The young man in front of him has reached a height that even he cannot reach... The Sword Master asked: "What state are you in now?" Li Xiuping replied: "There is no state." The Sword Master was stunned.
Li Xiuping continued: "The method my master gave me does not have a clear realm. The amount of sword intent in my body determines the strength of my strength. It is precisely because of this that I was able to rely on the foundation-building period to practice In order to compete with those strong men, and this time I went south, by chance, I got an opportunity to completely integrate this method, so that the original foundation building period disappeared and my realm was completely lost?" The sword master frowned and said: "Does this mean returning to nature?" Li Xiuping nodded and said, "You can almost say that." The Sword Master nodded and said, "Realm is indeed not the only criterion for measuring strength. However, it is indeed difficult to understand when this kind of thing happens to others, but it does. It's normal for you." He looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "I heard that you are going to Taiyi Sect?" Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The Sword Master smiled and said: "Taiyi Sect also has some grudges with me in the Sword Washing Pool. I will follow you in the Sword Washing Pool on this trip." Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
The Sword Master smiled and said: "There are some things that were inconvenient for you to know before, but it doesn't hurt to tell you now. Our sword-washing pool was originally from the lineage of swordsmanship, competing with Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, and even above the three schools, but Everything must be reversed, and prosperity must decline. Thousands of years ago, my ancestor of swordsmanship fell, and the sword sect has never recovered. After that, it was continuously suppressed by the Taoists, which is why it ended up today." Li Xiuping nodded, but he didn't expect that there was still a sword washing pool. Such a piece of history.
The sword master continued: "However, the relationship between Xijianchi and the academy has been good in recent years. Three hundred years ago, Taoism suppressed Confucianism, so Xijianchi and Confucianism formed an alliance, which can be regarded as a team to keep warm and deal with the suppression of Taoism together. , and this is what remains today." Li Xiuping nodded and said: "I see." He continued: "Since the Academy and the Sword Xiuchi are allies, why..." Before he could finish speaking, a voice said: "Why are we still there? Can you fight that one?" The person who came was none other than Li Xiuping's senior brother, Qi Wenxing, the academy's eldest brother.
Qi Wenxing is still the same as before, spotless and elegant, but the rag on his shoulder is replaced by a long sword, and his whole temperament has completely changed.
The Sword Master smiled and said: "Although our two families are united, it should not be too obvious. After all, they are two holy places. If we really unite, the other holy places will feel threatened, and it will only be counterproductive. So on the surface, it is still You have to pretend to compete." Qi Wenxing continued: "So every hundred years, there will be a competition between the Academy and Xijianchi. A hundred years ago, my husband lost to Xijianchi, so he went Ask Mr. Ou Ye to make a sword." The sword master said, "That's why I lost to you, Senior Brother Qi." Li Xiuping looked at the two men and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two of them were like very good friends, but not like the relationship he had with Xu Bansheng. Knowing this, Li Xiuping still had some doubts in his heart, but he did not ask them.
According to these two people, although Xijianchi and the academy were united, they did not dare to show it. On the contrary, they wanted to make others think that the two families were enemies.
But before the Seven Holy Lands Conference, that is, after the battle between Sword Master and Qi Wenxing, they went against the norm and directly showed their unity in front of the world. Now they even directly and openly help.
But after thinking about it, Li Xiuping felt that the two families should have waited for an opportunity, and this opportunity was naturally him.
Because of his appearance, Xijianchi and the Confucian School had a showdown with the entire cultivation world and no longer concealed the relationship between the two families. Because of his relationship, the Confucian School and the Sword Sect no longer tolerated it and planned to launch a counterattack against the Taoist Sect, and the first step of this counterattack was One battle is the Taiyi Sect.
Although the academy and the sword-washing pool are now in decline, after all, they have the inheritance of the Holy Land and thousands of years of foundation. If they really want to unite, one Taiyi Sect may not be able to compete.
But the key is that in addition to Taiyi Sect, Dao Sect also has Kunlun Mountain, one of the three mountains. Once Kunlun Mountain intervenes, even if Confucianism and the Sword Sect join forces, it will be difficult to deal with it. So is it really time for a showdown at this time?
In other words, did these two families trust him too much? Qi Wenxing said with a smile: "Just do your thing, don't be under too much pressure. As for the Kunlun Mountains, don't worry for the time being. They may not stand by and watch, but they will never help. As for the Zen Sect, according to the academy They will not interfere with the information they have." Li Xiuping nodded.
Qi Wenxing continued: "By the way, news just came from the academy. The two girls have also come this time. They should be able to arrive at the Imperial Capital soon. Do you think we should wait for them?" Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Said: "No, since the posture has been set, naturally there can't be any delay, otherwise if you keep clenching your fist and don't punch it, your fist will loosen after a long time." The sword master nodded and said: "That's the truth, this one My sword sect has been holding fists for a long enough time." Li Xiuping said with a smile: "But before that, senior should need a handy sword." The sword master was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked: "So you kid just didn't do it before? Will you deliberately damage my sword?" Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Although that sword is good, it is really not worthy of senior's status. You see, my senior brother has an immortal sword, so senior must have one too, right?" Sword Sheng Haha laughed and said: "That's the truth." Li Xiuping glanced around and said: "The situation here shouldn't change much. Let's go to the Imperial Capital first. There are still a few friends there. I will be there by then. Forging swords for seniors." Qi Wenxing asked: "Don't wait for him?" He was naturally referring to Xu Bansheng.
Li Xiuping looked at the northern battlefield, shook his head and said: "Now that he has come to the Zhou Dynasty, there is no need to be involved in this kind of thing. This is good." Qi Wenxing nodded, feeling a little relieved.
Li Xiuping's ability to think this way is actually a good thing for both Li Xiuping himself and Xu Bansheng.
It would be better for each other if there was less involvement between them...
