According to later records, on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the fourteenth year of Yonghong, the sword god Cao Qiong broke into Yangcheng in the Qing Dynasty of Liang Dynasty alone. He was besieged by dozens of martial arts masters and was undefeated. He broke through the realm of immortals in one fell swoop and dropped a magnificent rain of swords over the imperial city.
In this battle, in addition to Kongshan Monk, Li Xian, and Yang Xiu, the three famous masters on the weapon list, the Liang Kingdom also sent one second-class master, seven third-class masters, 3,000 Yulin troops, and 800 Jinwu guards. , worked together to besiege Cao Qiong, and eventually the sword god who had comprehended the realm of immortals killed more than 3,600 people. If Kong Shan had not tried his best to stop the last sword, Emperor Wu of Liang Feng Jingquan would not have been able to escape death. In the end, Cao Qiong died. Yujian left Qingyang City after being seriously injured. Kongshan's palms were pierced by the long sword, and his undefeated golden body that had been invincible in the world for forty years was broken!
In this battle, Cao Qiong entered the realm of immortals, and his killing power was unparalleled in the world, and he became the best in the world in Qingyang City. However, in the long run, Cao Qiong exhausted his mind and almost exhausted his true energy, causing irreversible damage. , there are only three to five years left at most, and the Golden Body of Kongshan, which has occupied the world for forty years, has been destroyed, and the vitality of the Liang Kingdom has been severely damaged. The Yulin Army and Jinwu Guards are only one in a hundred, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate them, let alone those who have been repaired by Yang. It is not easy to recruit martial arts masters. If one of them dies, one of them will be lost.
Feng Jingquan looked at the ground with broken arms and limbs in horror. Cao Qiong single-handedly caused thousands of swords in Qingyang City to fly. A rain of swords fell from the sky and fell hard on the world. The last sword caused the heaven and earth to tremble. At that moment, Feng Jing regretted why he listened to Yang Xiu's suggestion and became an enemy of Cao Qiong. Now the Liang Kingdom has suffered heavy losses, and countless royal roads and palaces have been destroyed. Feng Jingquan was furious, slapped the face of Yang Xiu who was escorting him, and walked away.
Yang Xiu clenched his teeth and said nothing. Li Xian held his sword and watched coldly. Kongshan was seriously injured. He expected that Cao Qiong would be unable to leave and come back, so he left without saying goodbye and planned to return to Yunyin Temple for retreat to heal his injuries. A group of eunuchs and maids poured out from all directions tremblingly, sweeping the ground while suppressing their nausea. Yang Xiu lowered his head and stared at the ground. No one could see his expression clearly.
————
Cao Qiong, who had traveled thousands of miles with his sword and returned to the realm of Sword God Mountain, was already on the verge of collapse. When he reached the top of the mountain, he could no longer hold on and passed out. Mei Shuyan heard the noise and hurriedly came out to investigate. She was shocked when she saw what happened. She took Cao Qiong into the secret room and treated his injuries. However, her cultivation was low and Cao Qiong was seriously injured. There was no panacea on the mountain. Mei Shuyan was busy After a while, there was still no improvement. Seeing that Cao Qiong's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Mei Shuyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. When she was helpless, she heard Cao Qiong's voice like a mosquito, weakly saying: "Hold me up. Go to the sword tomb." Then he fainted again.
Mei Shuyan did not doubt that he was there, so she helped Cao Qiong into the sword tomb with great effort and placed it on the ground in the center. He saw that thousands of ancient swords in the sword tomb could not stop trembling, and countless sword energy rose into the sky and merged into Cao Qiong's body. . After an unknown amount of time, Cao Qiong's breathing became steady and his complexion turned rosy. The ancient swords in the sword tomb seemed to have lost their vitality and became dim.
After a while, Cao Qiong woke up and told Mei Shuyan what happened in Qingyang City. It turns out that Cao Qiong was born with a sword. After entering the realm of heaven and man, he can heal his injuries with the sword energy of the world's famous swords. However, in the battle of Qingyang City, Cao Qiong was promoted to the realm and later failed to consolidate his realm. The foundation of the heavenly realm was unstable, and he was forced to use it. With his last move, he wanted to kill Feng Jingquan in one fell swoop, but Kongshan fought to save him. In the end, although he broke the invincible King Kong that had dominated the world for forty years, Cao Qiong even damaged his true energy and destroyed most of his cultivation. Falling into the first level. Cao Qiong was not as physically strong as Sikong Li, a pure martial artist who demonstrated the Tao through force, so he suffered from a lot of illnesses and was about to die soon. However, he did not want Mei Shuyan to worry, so he hid the matter. .
Mei Shuyan was surprised and happy. Kongshan Monk was recognized as the best in the world among this generation. He had not lost a single victory in forty years. He was as strong as Ling Xiaoyun. He also suffered defeat at the hands of this person. Cao Qiong not only broke his undefeated streak. Shinhwa even managed to escape under the siege of a group of experts. This surprised Mei Shuyan, who quickly asked: "Then you are number one in the world now?"
Cao Qiong waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It was just at that moment. Now most of the cultivation base has stayed in Qingyang City. Let alone being the best in the world, without this Sword God Mountain, it is doubtful whether he can enter the top five. "
Mei Shuyan said regretfully: "That's such a pity. If Mr. Lu knew that your great master had defeated Kongshan Monk and became the best in the world, he would be very happy to death."
Mentioning Lu Huaiyuan, Cao Qiong suddenly said seriously: "Sister, I want to ask you something. You must agree to me no matter what."
Cao Qiong was aloof and arrogant all his life. He did not let anyone enter before he was forty years old. He only had one friend, Qiu Yao. He did not get better until his later years. He never asked for help from anyone in his life. Seeing that Cao Qiong was acting uncharacteristically, Mei Shuyan nodded and said, "You Don’t worry, I will definitely promise you.”
Cao Qiong solemnly warned: "No matter what happens next, never tell Mr. Lu the truth about the battle in Qingyang City."
Mei Shuyan asked suspiciously: "Why is this? You worked so hard to train Lu Huaiyuan, isn't it just to enable him to avenge himself one day and fulfill the long-cherished wish of three generations of you?"
Cao Qiong sighed: "If you don't enter Qingyang City, you don't know the dangers in the city. The Liang Kingdom has been established for three hundred years. As the capital, Qingyang City is not only heavily guarded, but there are also many martial arts masters secretly protecting Feng Jingquan in the city. What's even more terrifying is that , there are two large formations jointly built by Qi practitioners in Qingyang City to suppress the heavenly beings entering the city. If Feng Jingquan had not used these two large formations at this time, I am afraid that I will never come back this time. Lu Xiaozi has a temper. Ganglie, if he knew the ins and outs of the matter, he would inevitably become hot-headed and lose his life in vain. Besides, I have my own plans for this boy's future arrangements. In short, no matter what, don't reveal anything about Qingyang City to Young Man Lu."
Mei Shuyan frowned and said: "Even if I don't tell you, the people in Qingyang City have witnessed with their own eyes that you are causing trouble in the imperial city. How can you stop this Youyou's mouth? Sooner or later, Mr. Lu will know."
Cao Qiong said: "What is the truth? How can ordinary people know about it? The worst I can do is tell Mr. Lu that I met Kongshan Monk by chance in Qingyang City. I was so itchy that I had a fight."
Mei Shuyan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Cao Qiong: "Although I have selfish motives for doing this, I still said the same thing. Since he was reborn in the Lu family in this life, this is his fate and he cannot escape it." Yes. Besides, do you hope that he will devote himself to avenging me and eventually die in Qingyang City?"
Mei Shuyan was speechless for a moment, so she had to swallow all the words, nodded, and agreed to Cao Qiong.
