Cao Qiong, who lived not far away, was a very light sleeper. He was awakened by the cry and rushed over immediately. He took Lu Xiong from the woman's hand, held him in his arms and teased him for a while, and then he felt better. . Since the old man and the young man met, Lu Xiong was optimistic by nature and had never been in such a situation. Cao Qiong knew something was wrong, so he calculated with his fingers. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he turned into an angry look. He turned his head to look to the east and said sternly: "How dare you, Shu Zi!" After saying that, he stood up from the ground, wielded Fei Yingjian, and flew towards Qingyang City. The other mountain residents of Sword God Mountain had never seen Cao Qiong so angry, and for a while no one dared to speak out to stop him.
As Cao Qiong gained enlightenment from his sightseeing the day before, his realm improved, and he wielded the sword even more quickly. Not long after, he arrived at Baoyu Prefecture on the border of Chu State. At this moment, a gray-white figure rushed over from the side like a meteor and stopped Cao Qiong. forward. The latter narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "It turns out to be General Sikong. What, you want to stop me?"
Sikong Li stood in the sky, only ten feet away from Cao Qiong. Hearing this, he just clasped his fists and asked: "I wonder why the sword god left the country this time? He has such a murderous aura. I'm afraid that the sword god will do something extraordinary. It's my duty. Had to come.”
Cao Qiong didn't have any bad feelings towards this world-famous Chu military god. Besides, regardless of his status, Cao Qiong was quite amazed by Sikong Li's martial arts talent. The latter's behavior was as good as his own. He has learned many paths of the Tao, and has been on the battlefield for many years, relying on fighting to support fighting. Although his realm is still far behind his own, he is actually a first-class master.
When martial artists in the world enter the martial arts arena, they are divided into six realms according to their internal strength. The first and second realms are further subdivided into three levels. The first and third levels from low to high are pure green, trance and trance, and the second level is pure green. The other three levels are rooting, establishing, and breaking dirt. Above the sixth level is the realm of heavenly beings like Cao Qiong.
Before Cao Qiong broke through the realm, there were only two heavenly beings in the world. The recognized number one in the world was the Monk Kongshan, the presiding monk of Yunyin Temple, followed closely by Ling Xiaoyun, the Spear Immortal who was born in the Yan Kingdom. Cao Qiong was one of the two The third person in the world after that could naturally tell the level of Sikong Li's cultivation level at a glance.
Although the latter is not yet forty years old, he is already firmly in the first-class pure youth realm. Moreover, this person has cultivated both internally and externally. After fighting to the death again and again, his martial arts cultivation is far more stable than that of ordinary martial artists. Masters who have entered the divine realm are also capable of fighting. This is also the biggest reason why Sikong Li dares to stop Cao Qiong on his way!
Cao Qiong did not want to fight with the younger generation, and said coldly: "I am just an idle cloud and a wild crane, and I will not participate in any state affairs. You and I have always been in harmony with each other. The God of War must not block the way, so as not to damage the harmony."
Sikong Li still had the same calm demeanor as before. Even when facing the well-deserved number one martial artist in the Chu Kingdom, his momentum did not fall behind. He said in a deep voice: "I heard that the Sword God went to Yuzhou City in the Liang Kingdom a few days ago, and even brought him with him. Returning to a newly born baby boy, since the successor of the mantle has been appointed to teach the martial arts well, why go to the Liang Kingdom? I heard that the Sword God had a battle with Yang Xiu before, and it could be that the fight was not smooth. This Who are you going to cause trouble for?"
Cao Qiong sneered and said solemnly: "Your Excellency is so good at getting so much information. I'll tell you the truth. Just as the God of War said, I have indeed recruited a new disciple. But I have just calculated that I am afraid that my disciple His parents have suffered an accident, Cao Qiong has lived alone, and now this disciple is the only one left, who must avenge his parents!"
At this time, a peregrine falcon suddenly pierced the sky. Sikong Li stretched out his arm, and the peregrine falcon landed steadily. Sikong Li took off the letter tied to Peregrine Falcon's feet, unfolded it, frowned, looked at Cao Qiong, and asked, "Does the Sword God know who the murderer is?"
Cao Qiong shook his head. He was a swordsman, not a mysterious Qi practitioner. The reason why he sensed Lu Daoquan's misfortune was because of the wisp of sword energy quietly left in Lu Daoquan's body that day, plus Lu Xiong's uncharacteristic behavior. , crying non-stop, he used his magical power to investigate, but he couldn't sense the sword energy, but if he wanted to infer that Kazuto did it based on this, it would be nothing more than a dream.
When Sikong Li saw this, he didn't say much. With a flick of his finger, he handed the letter in his hand to Cao Qiong and said: "I just received news from the spies that the new Minister of Rites of Liang State has colluded with foreign traitors and has been copied and executed by the Jinwu Guards. It seems that The enemy in the mouth of the seniors is the dog emperor of Liang Kingdom."
Cao Qiong took the letter, unfolded it, his face changed slightly, and then said angrily: "So what if it's Feng Jingquan? It's just a matter of a sword to piss me off!" After saying that, he crushed the letter in his hand into powder and prepared to go to Liang Guoqingyang The city looked for trouble with Emperor Wu of Liang.
But I heard Sikong Li say: "Senior, wait a minute, your departure, no matter whether it is successful or not, will only do a lot of harm and no benefit to our country, Chu. For the sake of the people of Chu, please don't do it." Motivated!"
Cao Qiong snorted coldly and said, "What does the life and death of the people have to do with me? Besides, when I kill Feng Jingquan with one sword, the Liang Kingdom will be leaderless. Isn't it a good time for the God of War to launch a large-scale attack? How can it be said to be unprofitable?"
Sikong Li knew very well that Cao Qiong had a cold face and a warm heart, and he would definitely not treat the life and death of innocent people as a child's play. He continued: "When the senior swordsman is angry, his sword energy spans thirty thousand miles. Killing one or two thousand people with one sword is already the limit. But if he angers someone, After killing Feng Jingquan, the emperor was so angry that more than a million people lay dead! Now that Liang is strong and Chu is weak, if Emperor Wu of Liang insists on attacking Chu, how should we respond? The princes, generals and ministers may be guilty, but warriors like you and me Maybe they are guilty, but the people are innocent! Do you really want to sacrifice these innocent people for your own selfish desires?"
Cao Qiong was not a ruthless person. Although he never interfered with state affairs, after all, the blood of Chu people flowed in his bones. After hearing these words, he put away his blazing arrogance, held his long sword upside down, and made a sword salute to Sikong Li: "Army What God said is that I didn’t think enough about it.” The latter quickly returned the gesture with fists clasped.
Cao Qiong glanced far away to the east and said to himself: "Forget it, just wait until you grow up to avenge this blood feud." Then he looked at Sikong Li and asked: "What if today's Army God After failing to persuade me, Cao decided to kill Feng Jingquan, what should you do?"
Sikong Li smiled and replied honestly: "Yu Gong, I am a general of the Chu Kingdom. In private, the great Chu warriors are all respected by my seniors. If my persuasion today is fruitless, knowing that I cannot stop my seniors, I will still have the courage to give it a try." , just like the senior knew that he would not be able to kill Feng Jingquan if he went to Qingyang City, but he still went there."
Cao Qiong smiled slightly and sighed: "What you said is true. Qingyang is the source of dragon veins in the world. If I really go there, without the right time and place, I really can't kill Feng Jingquan just by relying on people and people. What's more? If some unborn old bastards intervene in the Zhoutian formation set up by the group of weapon refining magicians from the Liang Kingdom, I am afraid that my trip will end in a narrow escape."
Hearing this, Sikong Li couldn't help but be curious: "Is it possible that the previous Sword Immortal realm is also not good?"
Cao Qiong nodded: "I didn't think so before. I always felt that with a sword in my hand, I can't go anywhere in the world, and there's no one in the world that I can't kill. But when I really reached the realm of sword immortals in the eyes of the world, and resonated with the world, I realized that, Human harmony is not as good as the favorable location, and the favorable location is not as good as the weather. There are laws between heaven and earth, and no one can violate them."
Sikong sighed and said: "I am fascinated by the realm of heaven and man."
Cao Qiong snorted coldly and said: "You are extremely talented in martial arts. If you practice martial arts wholeheartedly and have no distractions, your future achievements will be just as high as those of me. But just because your talent is too high, you feel that the world is boring very early. If you make great achievements in the temple, you will go astray. If you don't stop as soon as possible and return to the lost path, you may not be able to survive until you reach the divine realm in the future."
Sikong Li smiled and said noncommittally: "So what if one person is invincible? Besides, is it really impossible to be the best in the world and the co-leader of the world at the same time?"
Cao Qiong was stunned and said in surprise: "I've underestimated you!"
