To the west outside the city.
Sun Gusheng and Li Pingping walked together. Not long after they went west, they found a group of people from the All-Martial Arts Association.
Different from what Gu Xiaotian had seen, the people they met did not pretend to be vegetable farmers delivering food. Instead, they were gathered in groups, not shying away from exposing themselves, and headed all the way towards Kyoto.
After repeated confirmations, Sun Gusheng and Li Pingping finally confirmed that the other party should be the vanguard. Naturally, they would not easily alert the enemy. With the two of them, they could delay for a while, but naturally they could not delay everyone, so Then he walked around again until he was a certain distance away, and then he fired the smoke bomb.
Almost everyone could see the smoke bomb clearly, even the All-Martial Arts Association was no exception. However, these vanguard troops were not surprised at all by the appearance of the smoke bomb. Instead, they accelerated their pace and flew towards Kyoto. go.
Sun Gusheng circled back behind the vanguard and frowned when he saw their quick steps.
The smoke bomb was not only used to remind people to pay more attention, but also to make the whole military turn their attention to the smoke bomb.
But these vanguard troops seemed to know it in advance. After waiting for the smoke bombs to go off, they accelerated their pace.
Sun Gusheng did not observe too much. Matters in the city will naturally be solved by the people in the city. The first thing he needs to consider is whether to continue to go deeper to the west or turn his head in another direction to help.
After meeting with Li Pingping, Sun Gusheng asked Li Pingping.
In the palace, Guan Jing is the leader of the martial arts of the time, and Li Pingping is naturally the leader of the scholars of the time.
The task of destroying the city and setting up the stronghold was left to Guan Jing, while the internal management was handled by Li Pingping herself.
After thinking for a while, Li Pingping did not give a response. Instead, she couldn't help but sigh: "If he had been born more than ten years ago, maybe the prime minister of the current dynasty should be replaced."
Sun Gusheng asked: "What does Mr. Li mean by this?"
"Your Majesty, the method we thought of to deal with the enemy has been guessed at since we left the city."
Li Pingping pointed to the east, "There were some strange noises in the east just now. Your Majesty should have heard it more clearly than I did."
Sun Gusheng remained silent.
The fight between Gu Xiaotian and Qian Qingxuan in the east direction made a lot of noise, and it was difficult not to be noticed.
In the end, Sun Gusheng just said lightly, "I believe him."
Li Pingping nodded and said, "Of course I believe him, but we have already walked into someone else's trap. Even the entrance to the cave has been sealed. I'm afraid we will lose our lives in this battle."
Sun Gusheng looked at Li Pingping in surprise.
In his impression, no matter when and where, the prime minister always looked confident. Even when he fought against Sun Yanlu, he always looked like he was ready to die.
But today, Sun Gusheng saw two other words on Li Pingping's face.
fear death.
It is normal for people to be afraid of death, but if you are afraid of death at this moment, you are really worthy of the title of prime minister.
Li Pingping looked at Sun Gusheng, and then sighed: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death, I am just afraid that death will be worthless."
Hearing this, Sun Gusheng just said calmly: "Li Xiang, whether death is worthless is never something you can evaluate."
Li Pingping looked at Sun Gusheng with a puzzled look.
Sun Gusheng slowly exhaled, "Let future generations comment on the merits and demerits of right and wrong."
Li Pingping smiled knowingly.
The two of them started to move, but they did not look back, but went deeper to the west.
Not far into the west, there was a sword light on the sky in front of the two people, splitting the ground in front of them.
"Swordsman?"
Sun Gusheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Among the currently known information, the most powerful people on the other side should be a master of hidden weapons, a Taoist disciple, and Qin Qinglin who is good at using spears. When did a powerful sword cultivator appear?
Sun Gusheng had almost no time to think, because the other party was already attacking the two of them with another sword light.
Sun Gusheng and Li Pingping quickly stepped back a few feet, their energy surged, and they worked together to hit the sword light.
With a combined blow from the two of them, it was easy to deal with the sword light. However, the two of them did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they stared eagerly ahead, waiting for the mysterious sword cultivator to appear.
Taking this opportunity, Sun Gusheng asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, there are swordsmen with such strength in the world. Apart from those two people, do you know anyone else?"
Li Pingping thought for a while, then shook her head.
Now the most powerful sword cultivator in the world is already in their formation, and the strength of this mysterious sword cultivator is enough to surprise people, at least he is not weaker than Gu Xiaotian.
What's more, after the two of them joined forces, it became clear that the opponent's previous two swords were just tests and did not use their full strength.
A voice came from not far away, a little lazy.
"Li Pingping, I really didn't expect you to be alive."
Hearing this voice, Li Pingping's pupils shrank sharply.
A wound on his waist suddenly started to hurt.
After the words fell, a mighty sword energy appeared in the air again. The sword energy flew wildly. There was a trembling sword energy between the sky and the earth at this moment. A figure wearing a green shirt flashed in the air. In a flash, in the blink of an eye, they had already reached Sun Gusheng and Li Pingping and handed out that terrifying sword.
Li Pingping pushed Sun Gusheng beside her fiercely, and then her own flying sword was unsheathed, and she held her hand tightly to compete with the sword.
When the two swords met, fire burst out.
The man in green shirt looked at Li Pingping's natal flying sword and laughed.
"Li Pingping, was this the sword that stabbed my heart in the first place?"
Li Pingping didn't answer, and beads of sweat as big as beans had appeared on her forehead.
It was obvious that the swordsmanship of the man in blue was superior to Li Pingping's.
The man in green shirt was not in a hurry at all. He just held the sword steadily with one hand, then freed up his hand to look at Li Pingping's flying sword. He flicked his finger on the blade of the flying sword, making a buzzing sound.
Li Pingping's tiger's mouth was so painful that her sword intent had already reached its peak at this moment, but she still couldn't move the man in green shirt even half an inch.
Sun Gusheng on the side slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, with blood all over his body, and struck the man in green shirt with a punch on his head.
The man in green shirt yelled and looked back at the overbearing fist, but he did not retreat at all, and even took the initiative to bring his head closer.
Sun Gusheng frowned slightly, what do you mean, are you looking for death?
However, when his fist hit the man in blue shirt's head, Sun Gusheng only felt that it hit a thousand-year-old rock, and his fist was already painful from the bullet. On the other hand, the man in blue shirt's forehead was not even green.
The man in green shirt laughed, took a step back, and then swung his sword.
Li Pingping couldn't dodge, and was hit by a sword in her left arm, flying backwards.
The man in green shirt did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Instead, he rubbed his forehead and cursed: "Damn, your fists are really strong."
Sun Gusheng hurriedly ran to Li Pingping, helped him up, rubbed his fists and looked at the man in green shirt.
Blood gushed out from Li Pingping's left arm and soon stained her sleeves red. However, he remained unmoved at all. He just looked at the man in green shirt and said lightly: "I never expected that after that sword attack, you Still alive."
The man in green shirt smiled and said: "Li Pingping, that sword attack really killed me. If Qin Qinglin hadn't saved me in time, I might not have had the chance to kill you here."
Li Pingping asked: "So? Is it repaying a favor, or is this your true intention?"
The man in green shirt said nonchalantly: "What am I thinking? You, Li Pingping, should know better in this world. Will the sword on your waist hurt you even if it rains?"
Li Pingping twitched the corners of her mouth and stretched out her hands to support her waist.
There was a sword wound there. This was Li Pingping's secret. No one except the man in green shirt and him knew about it.
As the man in green shirt said, that sword wound would make Li Pingping so painful that she couldn't straighten up every time it rained.
Pain is a trivial matter, but one thing is a lifelong pain for Li Pingping.
This sword completely cut off his path to the end of martial arts.
Li Pingping slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, held her sword across her chest, and said, "Xia Qing, I could kill you once back then, but I can kill you a second time today."
After hearing these words, the man in green shirt named Xia Qing's face instantly became gloomy.
Sun Gusheng was not very impressed by the name Xia Qing.
But if we push forward a few decades, then Xia Qing can definitely be ranked as the number one person in this world.
There is no other reason. Decades ago, the four martial leaders of the All-Martial Arts Association.
At that time, Xia Qing was as famous a swordsman as Gu Qingfeng. After Li Pingping killed Xia Qing, she couldn't help but sigh. If she hadn't killed Xia Qing in this battle, I'm afraid there would have been someone as difficult to deal with as Gu Qingfeng. The sword is repaired.
But now, Xia Qing was standing in front of her, which surprised Li Pingping.
Could it be that none of the martial leaders of the All-Martial Arts Association were truly dead?
Li Pingping suddenly asked: "Xia Qing, that sword should also have cut off your martial arts path?"
Xia Qing's face became even more gloomy. At this time, his scars were actually being uncovered.
Then he tore open his green shirt, revealing his strong upper body, and there was a sword wound on his chest.
Xia Qing pointed at the wound and said viciously: "Li Pingping, the revenge of this sword must be avenged today."
Li Pingping slowly exhaled a breath and told Sun Gusheng from her heart: "Your Majesty, if you really can't handle it for a while, I will find a way to help you escape."
Sun Gusheng wanted to say something, but in the end there was no mother-in-law.
Because he saw the look of death on Li Pingping's face again.
Xia Qing slowly raised the sword and shouted: "Li Pingping, suffer death!"
Between heaven and earth, an extremely bright sword light suddenly appeared, illuminating the world.
The sword light appeared instantly in the air with overwhelming killing intent, and then the sky seemed to be cut off. Countless light points converged on the sword body, making it extremely dazzling.
Then, a sword rose from the ground, tore open from the ground, and struck at Sun Gusheng and Li Pingping with lightning speed.
Li Pingping inserted her flying sword straight into the soil. The ground began to shake and then exploded, blocking the sword on the ground.
At the same time, the bright sword on the sky had already been suppressed.
Li Pingping looked up at the sky and urged in her heart: "Your Majesty, hurry up!"
He looked up at the sword light and murmured to himself: "Let future generations judge whether he has merit or demerit."
