As time goes by, the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue is getting closer and closer, and more and more martial arts forces are rushing to Kyoto.
Near the capital area, you can even see people on their way along the road.
In a restaurant a hundred miles south of the capital, there were three figures with extraordinary temperament sitting by the window, with sad faces on their faces.
These three people are Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Fu Hongxue.
At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng had a sad face and whispered:
"It's less than half a month until the full moon night. I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."
Hua Manlou said calmly: "Are you worried that Ximen Chuixue will lose to Ye Gucheng?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "I'm not worried about that. We all know his temper. For him, if he died in Ye Gucheng's hands, he would probably be smiling."
"I just feel that there are too many political forces coming here after hearing the news this time. I always feel that something is not right, as if someone is deliberately promoting this matter..."
Hua Manlou frowned: "Are you suspecting that someone is planning a conspiracy?"
"right!"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said: "The capital city is at the feet of the emperor after all. Although I don't know why Ye Gucheng chose to duel in the capital city, I saw from the last battle in Baiyun City that this person is different from Ximen Chuixue. His swordsmanship is very strong. But it’s not pure, it’s also mixed with other things, maybe regret, maybe ambition.”
"If it's the latter, I'm worried that there may be changes during this battle in the capital."
"At this moment, there are thousands of Jianghu people gathered in the capital. If something happens and the emperor is disturbed, the world will be devastated again..."
The whole building was silent.
At this time, Huamanlou suddenly said:
"Could this matter be the work of that father-in-law?"
Lu Xiaofeng was startled: "You mean, the governor of Xichang, Yuhuatian?"
Hua Manlou nodded.
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "Impossible! The duty of Xichang is to protect the capital and the Ming Dynasty. The last thing Mr. Yu wants to see is this happen, because when there are more people, it is easy to get into chaos. Once something goes wrong, it will be Put more pressure on this factory owner."
Hua Manlou sighed: "It's useless to worry about this now. If something happens, we won't be able to stop it."
"I heard that this father-in-law has been released from seclusion and has successfully broken through the Grand Master. His strength has reached a higher level. I hope he can protect him."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded silently.
"Even if something happens, what does it have to do with you guys?"
At this time, Fu Hongxue, who had been drinking silently, said coldly: "You are thinking so much, why not think about when Ximen Chuixue, who looks more like a sword than a human, will arrive."
"He said that he would not come until the last day of the decisive battle. During this period, he would cultivate his sword power and maintain his condition at its peak." Hua Manlou said.
Lu Xiaofeng waved her hand and complained: "What about raising a sword? He lied to you. The reason why he didn't come with us is because he told me what he said last time. The masters will come forward last."
Fu Hongxue and Hua Manlou: "..."
While the three of them were chatting, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the restaurant, and then a cold shout came from outside:
"The leader of the Beast Faction, Yu Canghai, and the old beast Saibei Mingtuomufengfeng, get out of here!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole restaurant was shaken.
The leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, and Saibei Mingtuomufengfeng are also slightly famous figures in the world. Who dares to insult them in public?
Lu Xiaofeng and the others also showed a look of interest in their eyes. They looked down the window and saw standing outside the restaurant a man wearing a bright red shirt, with long hair tied casually behind his head, and holding a long sword. youth.
This person is none other than Lin Pingzhi!
Wow~
"Where did you come from, how dare you insult your grandpa!"
At this time, with a loud roar, a wine bottle flew out of the restaurant and hit Lin Pingzhi.
Stupid!
With a flash of sword light, the wine bottle was split into two, and the cut was extremely neat.
Then, an ugly-looking man with a hunchback walked out of the restaurant, followed by many people watching the excitement.
But another protagonist, Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng Sect, is also among them.
At this moment, he recognized at a glance that the person outside was Lin Pingzhi, the remnant of the Lin family.
He said with a gloomy face: "You killed the four major disciples of my sect, and you still dare to come back?"
He was talking about the Four Shows of Qingcheng.
Last time, he sent the Fourth Show of Qingcheng to hunt down Lin Pingzhi and asked for the evil sword manual. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for him to receive the news of the death of the Fourth Show of Qingcheng.
During this time, he has been pursuing the matter.
"The four beasts of Qingcheng, these four beasts deserve to die just like you!"
Lin Pingzhi said coldly that he did not explain that the fourth show in Qingcheng was not killed by him.
"Yu Canghai, Mu Gaofeng, don't you want my Lin family's sword manual to ward off evil spirits? The sword manual is right here. If you have the ability, come and get it!"
Lin Pingzhi took out a secret book from his arms and said with a sneer.
Hearing this, Yu Canghai's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that Lin Pingzhi would mention this matter in front of everyone.
If people knew that he killed a whole family just for a swordsmanship, the reputation of the Qingcheng Sect would be ruined.
Mu Gaofeng didn't think much about it. When he saw Lin Pingzhi's hands crowded together, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Boy, hand over the sword manual, grandpa, I will let you live!"
"Let me live? You first ask the beast next to you if he agrees!"
Lin Pingzhi sneered, raised his sword, and rushed towards Mu Gaofeng.
laugh--
It was just an ordinary sword move without any sword energy or intention, but this sword move shocked Mu Gaofeng. It was too fast!
Is this the evil sword manual?
With this thought in his mind, Mu Gaofeng did not dare to be careless. He quickly dodged back, then pulled out his camel sword and started to resist.
"Ding ding——"
In an instant, the two were fighting dozens of moves.
Lin Pingzhi's sword was getting faster and faster. Although Mu Gaofeng's internal strength exceeded Lin Pingzhi's, he couldn't stop Lin Pingzhi's offensive in a competition of sword moves. He couldn't help but retreat steadily, and dangers abounded.
laugh--
Soon, Mu Gaofeng made an accidental move and was hit in the shoulder by Lin Pingzhi. He screamed and fell out.
Lin Pingzhi was about to take this opportunity to kill him, when Mu Gaofeng saw this and turned around and roared:
"Yu Canghai, this kid has practiced the evil sword technique and his sword skills are extremely strong. If you don't take action, you will be the one who dies soon!"
Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng both wanted to ward off evil swords, but they were not from the same place. However, Yu Canghai also knew that what Mu Gaofeng said made sense. He snorted coldly, said nothing, but also drew his sword.
But at this moment, a small silver light came from above the restaurant. Yu Canghai felt the danger and quickly stopped without daring to move forward.
The next moment, several tiny silver needles were inserted into the ground in front of him, emitting a silvery cold light.
Yu Canghai broke out in a cold sweat, looked at the restaurant and shouted: "Who dares to interfere in my affairs? Get out!"
boom--
A terrifying breath came, and Yu Canghai vomited blood and flew out.
Then a cold voice sounded from the restaurant:
"The leader of a dignified sect, who is several decades old, joins forces to deal with a junior. How can such a loser be worthy of being called an upright sect?"
"Stay close and watch. It won't be your turn until later. If you dare to take action again, I will kill you first!"
Everyone looked at the restaurant in shock.
He was able to defeat Yu Canghai without even showing his face, which shows how strong this person's internal strength is!
Yu Canghai's face turned green and white, but when he saw the few silver needles on the ground, he didn't dare to interfere anymore.
Lin Pingzhi also glanced at the restaurant, then without saying a word, he attacked Mu Gaofeng again.
The two fought again.
But this time, Mu Gaofeng was injured, which affected his actions, and he was unable to block Lin Ping's sword moves as fast as the wind. He was quickly beaten back by Lin Pingzhi.
laugh--
Lin Pingzhi seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and pierced Mu Gaofeng's chest with one sword.
"Go to hell!"
Mu Gaofeng screamed, then roared and sprinkled a piece of poisonous powder at Lin Pingzhi, then took this opportunity to cover his chest and turned around to run away.
Swish——
Lin Pingzhi stepped back, dodged the poisonous powder, then sneered, and quickly chased after him. A sword pierced Mu Gaofeng's hunched back and came out from the chest in front.
But just as he drew his sword, a stream of venom suddenly spurted out from the bag on Mu Gaofeng's back and went straight to Lin Pingzhi's face.
Lin Pingzhi's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that Mu Gaofeng's hunchback was also poisonous, but the distance was too close and it was too late to dodge.
call--
Just as Lin Pingzhi was about to be sprayed with venom, a burst of energy appeared and pushed the venom aside.
The venom fell to the ground, making a "sizzling" sound.
There was a trace of fear in Lin Pingzhi's eyes. He looked up at the restaurant again. Knowing that it was the man who had saved him again, he cupped his hands towards the restaurant, then turned to look at Yu Canghai in the distance, with a ferocious expression on his face. :
"Head of the Beast Faction, it's your turn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Yu Canghai.
Yu Canghai glanced at the restaurant and saw that the man had no intention of stopping him. He gritted his teeth and faced Lin Pingzhi with his sword.
The two fought together instantly.
Although the Qingcheng Sect is only a third-rate force in the world, as the leader, Yu Canghai is still not weak in strength.
It's a pity that the evil-proofing sword manual, a sword technique that can be quickly achieved, is so unreasonable.
After returning from the palace, Lin Pingzhi was focused on nothing else, and his sword skills advanced very quickly. Although his internal strength was only acquired, his quick sword was so treacherous and changeable that even an innate master could not stop it.
Soon, Yu Canghai followed Mu Gaofeng's footsteps and was stabbed in many places by Lin Pingzhi, which damaged his movements.
Lin Pingzhi was almost reaching his limit at this time. After all, his internal strength was too low and he couldn't hold on much longer.
But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, panting and stepping forward, resisting Yu Canghai's palm, and then stabbed Yu Canghai's throat with his sword.
At this point, the great revenge has been avenged.
Lin Pingzhi collapsed on the ground and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! The beasts are all dead! Dad, Mom, I finally avenge you!"
There was silence.
The onlookers were all silent as they looked at Lin Pingzhi who was laughing crazily.
Not only were they amazed by Lin Pingzhi's sword skills, but there were also people who were interested in the sword manual to ward off evil spirits.
But thinking of the mysterious man who just helped Lin Pingzhi, no one dared to take action.
"Tap-ta-"
At this time, a man in black walked out of the restaurant, cupped his hands towards Lin Pingzhi and said: "This young master, my family's leader invites you!"
Lin Pingzhi knew that the leader mentioned by the man in black should be the person who had just rescued him, so he raised his hands and asked, "I wonder who the leader of your family is?"
The man in black did not hide anything, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and said: "When the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated!"
Hearing this, everyone around him took a deep breath, and some even stepped back in fright.
When the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is undefeated!
The leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, Dongfang Bubai? !
Lin Pingzhi frowned. He had also heard of Dongfang's undefeated reputation, but remembering that he had helped him just now, he hesitated and followed the man in black.
Soon, the two came to an independent room on the second floor.
Here, Lin Pingzhi saw Dongfang Bubai, who was wearing a bright red robe just like him, but his appearance and temperament were far better than his own.
Before he could speak, Dongfang Bubai asked, "Where did you learn your martial arts?"
When she saw Lin Pingzhi for the first time, she knew that this kid had left the palace, and the swordsmanship he practiced was very similar to the swordsmanship in the second half of the Sunflower Book, and seemed to come from the same lineage.
This is also the reason why she will help Lin Pingzhi.
But Lin Pingzhi thought that Dongfang Bubai also wanted to ward off evil swords. He was silent for a moment and replied truthfully: "My family's martial arts."
Dongfang Bubai saw his concerns and said calmly: "Don't worry, I am not interested in your swordsmanship. I just want to ask you if you are interested in joining our Sun and Moon God Sect?"
Join the Sun and Moon God Cult?
Lin Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, then a figure wearing a python robe appeared in his mind.
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Sorry, I have already joined someone else's service and cannot join the Sun Moon God Sect again."
"Bold, it's your honor to be favored by the leader. How dare you refuse?" The man in black next to him was furious.
"Back off!"
Dongfang Bubai waved his hand. She was not so arrogant. She was just a little curious about Lin Pingzhi's words and asked: "Who did you join?"
"He has joined me! Dongfang Bubai, do you want to compete with me for someone?"
At this moment, a majestic and indifferent body suddenly came from outside the room.
"Yuhuatian?!"
Dongfang Bubai's expression changed, and he stepped out in an instant. He saw another group of people arriving at the restaurant at some point, and the leader was none other than Yu Huatian, who was dressed in a silver-white python robe and had an extraordinary bearing.
Seeing many Xichang fanzi and Jinyiwei coming, the expressions of the other people in the restaurant also changed drastically.
Yu Huatian looked indifferent, glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and the others in the corner, and said calmly: "Lu Xiaofeng, it's been a long time."
"I've met Mr. Yu!"
Lu Xiaofeng cupped her hands and stood up to return the greeting.
Hua Manlou also saluted at the same time, while Fu Hongxue stared coldly at Yuhuatian, sitting still.
Yu Huatian didn't pay attention. He turned to look at Lin Pingzhi next to Dongfang Bubai and said calmly: "Have you thought about it clearly?"
Lin Pingzhi was silent for a moment, then walked straight to Yu Huatian, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Lin Pingzhi, pay homage to your Excellency!"
"From now on, call me Governor."
Yu Huatian waved his hand and said: "Come back to the capital with me first. When you get to the capital, I will teach you martial arts."
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Lin Pingzhi saluted again, then stood up, walked behind Yu Huatian, and began to assume the role of a subordinate.
Yu Huatian once again looked at Dongfang Bubai, who had a solemn face across from him, looked at her twice, nodded and said:
"Yes, the flaws have been made up, and the strength has become a lot stronger."
He could naturally tell that Dongfang Bubai had already practiced the complete version of the Sunflower Book, making up for the flaws, and that her true energy had been converted into cold attributes, which was consistent with her physique.
But the Sunflower Manual is not suitable for women to practice. Even if she successfully transforms the Yin Qi, the combination of Yin and Yin is not a good thing.
In the long run, it will also cause damage to her body.
The only way is to break through the Grand Master as soon as possible, use the innate true energy to cultivate, or to practice other techniques.
Yu Huatian said calmly: "You know your situation better than I do. The limits of the Sunflower Book do not stop there. If you want to follow up on the skills and break through the Grand Master to solve the hidden dangers in the body as soon as possible, after arriving in the capital, come to Xichang to find me. seat."
Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai, who was about to speak, was slightly startled.
At this time, Yu Huatian ignored her. He turned to look at Lu Xiaofeng and the others on the other side and said, "And you three, if you have no place to go when you get to the capital, you can come to my West Factory as a guest."
After saying that, Yuhuatian turned around, waved his hand, and led the people away.
He was passing through this place and came to take a look when he heard some movement, but he didn't expect to meet so many acquaintances.
…
As the people from Xichang and Jinyiwei left, everyone in the restaurant breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing the man who is now the most popular man in the entire Ming Dynasty and is famous for his murders, the pressure in their hearts is unimaginable.
Lu Xiaofeng and the other three looked at each other. Remembering what Yu Huatian said when he left, Hua Manlou asked: "This factory owner has a good impression of us. Since you suspect that someone is behind this incident and it is a conspiracy, why?" Don’t you tell him directly?”
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "It's just a suspicion, it can't prove anything."
“If you don’t have something certain, don’t make it known to everyone.”
Huamanlou nodded slightly.
At this time, Fu Hongxue said coldly: "Ding Peng is dead!"
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned: "How do you know?"
Fu Hongxue said: "I saw the full moon scimitar hanging on his waist. This is Ding Peng's sword!"
Lu Xiaofeng's pupils shrank: "You mean, Ding Peng died in the hands of this West Factory owner?!"
Fu Hongxue gritted her teeth and said: "As a swordsman, the sword never leaves the body. The sword is with the person and the person with the sword dies. Unless you die, you will never give your sword to others!"
Lu Xiaofeng was silent.
Hua Manlou asked in confusion: "Don't you have a grudge against Ding Peng? You should be happy that he is dead. Why do you feel so angry?"
Fu Hongxue said coldly: "He and I are destined enemies. Even if he dies, he can only die in my hands!"
Hua Manlou was speechless: "But he is already dead. How can you resurrect him or kill him again?"
Fu Hongxue was silent for a moment and said indifferently: "I will kill whoever kills him!"
Huamanlou was immediately shocked: "Is your mind okay?"
Lu Xiaofeng also frowned and said, "I know your persistence and perseverance, but this Mr. Xichang is not a simple man. Don't mess around."
Fu Hongxue said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't take action until I'm sure I can kill him."
The corner of Lu Xiaofeng's mouth twitched, then she shook her head helplessly and said, "Let's go to the capital first."
After that, the three of them walked downstairs together.
Before leaving, Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Dongfang Bubai not far away. After thinking about it, he still raised his hand towards Dongfang Bubai as a greeting.
Dongfang Bubai ignored him.
At this moment, her mind was filled with the words Yu Huatian said before leaving.
The upper limit of the Sunflower Book is not just this.
That means that Yu Huatian still has a stronger technique than the Sunflower Book.
And this technique can solve the hidden dangers in her body and help her break through the Grandmaster...
Yuhuatian could have said nothing, but he did.
This is naked temptation.
Moreover, she was asked to go to the capital to find him. Obviously, there were conditions!
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but grit his teeth and felt extremely angry:
"damn it!"
"He has been using exercises to threaten me. Does he really think he can defeat me?!"
But when he thought of his current situation and the higher level of Grand Master realm, Dongfang Bubai fell silent again.
The feeling of increased strength is really hard to refuse...
…
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and more and more people went to the capital, which was close to saturation.
And in the entire capital, although it was very lively on the surface, underneath this lively scene, there was an undercurrent, and a solemn and depressing atmosphere was gradually brewing.
Big figures who are rarely seen in daily life appeared one after another, and powerful forces from famous towns and cities in the world appeared.
There are probably hundreds of forces, large and small, both on the surface and hidden in the dark. Including those in the world, the total number has exceeded 5,000.
The masters of the entire East-West Second Factory and Jinyiwei were fully mobilized, and one hundred thousand forbidden troops were also on guard, cooperating with each other to maintain order in the capital.
But it still seems a little powerless.
There was too much noise this time!
But Yuhuatian didn't have the mind to pay attention to this for the time being. After returning to the capital, he went straight back to Xichang and summoned the miracle doctors invited from all over the Ming Dynasty to treat Zhu Youxiao first.
Because he always has a bad feeling that Zhu Youxiao's illness may not be as simple as it appears, and it may also be related to the duel incident in the Forbidden City...
