"The best sword is a rare thing in the world. The magic weapon he wants to refine is the Heavenly Tribulation. That means the person in front of him is not the Iron God, but the fake Tie Kuangtu!"
Li Xiao couldn't help but his eyes narrowed when he heard this.
Li Xiao, who is familiar with the plot of the movie, naturally knows the plot of Tie Kuangtu impersonating the Iron God and taking charge of Tiexin Island. However, due to the unclear timeline, he could not draw a conclusion before.
Although he confirmed what he was thinking at this time, he had no intention of exposing it, and still maintained a vague smile on his face.
"The sword embryo of the peerless sword was originally in the Sword Worship Villa. However, due to the old grudges between Jianghu, the Sword Worship Villa has collapsed. The remaining forces have also defected to the Tianxiahui. There is no news about this peerless sword." Huai Kong Weiwei.
He frowned and sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
"That's right, it's precisely because the matter is so important that I entrusted it to you as my master." Tie Kuangshou twirled his beard with his hands and said slyly.
Facing the master's earnest gaze, Huaikong couldn't help but nodded heavily: "Since the master has entrusted me, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
At this moment, Li Xiao, who had remained silent, also said: "Island Master, you might as well let Huai Kong and I go together on this trip. I have old friends to see, and Huai Kong and I can take care of each other."
If Li Xiao wants to complete his mission, of course he can't stay in this tiny place. He has to go to Middle-Earth, where he also has his apprentices who he misses, Duan Lang and Dugu Ming.
Tie Kuangtu was stunned at first, a strange look flashed in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, sir, please take more care."
…
…
In the afternoon, Li Xiao and Huaikong left Tiexin Island, boarded a ship on the island, set sail, rode the wind and waves, and after a sea voyage, finally set foot on the land of Middle Earth.
The two of them got on the carriage and passed through the great rivers and mountains of China, witnessing the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate along the way.
At the same time, many cities along the way had collapsed houses and ruins, which is enough to imagine the brutality of the battle at that time.
The entire world was no longer peaceful and was once again in turmoil. Seeing this, Li Xiao shook his head and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
On the contrary, it was Huai Kong. He had lived on Tiexin Island since he was a child. This was his first time coming to Middle-earth. He was also very interested in the customs and customs here. He always stared with big curious eyes wherever he went.
After running around in carriages and horses, the two of them traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at a city-state called Bingzhou. This is a transportation fortress. Going east is the territory of Tianxiahui, while going west is close to Wushuang City, but it is not as expected.
The prosperity among them is all bleak and desolate. When walking on the street, few people see it. Those who don't know it think they are at the border.
Walking into an inn, Li Xiao called the waiter, ordered some side dishes, and chatted with Huai Kong over wine.
"Huai Kong, how do you feel when you come to China for the first time this time?" Li Xiao said.
"The Central Plains is full of outstanding people, vast resources, and unique customs. The past few decades I lived on Tiexin Island were really like a frog in the bottom of a well... However, although the Central Plains is huge, it has been disrupted by the war."
At the end, Huaikong couldn't help but sigh, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
Li Xiao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said calmly: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Naturally, power disputes are inevitable, but it is not what we want if it is so tragic."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Before leaving the Fengyun Plane, he had made many arrangements in order to make the Wushuang City family dominate and dominate the world.
But unexpectedly, the storm stirred up by this little butterfly changed the plot beyond recognition. Not only did we not usher in a glorious and prosperous age, but on the contrary, due to the rise of the three major forces, there was a bloody storm in the world.
All lives were lost in this conflict of forces.
…
…
At the moment when he was feeling emotional.
Outside the door of the inn, a group of sect disciples wearing yellow military uniforms and carrying swords suddenly broke in. They came menacingly and showed evil looks on their faces, scaring away the few diners in the shop.
Some of them organized their own arrays and blocked the door, while a few others came to the counter. The leader was a tall man with a striking scar, diagonally slashed from the brow bone to the side of the cheek.
Horrible.
He slapped the counter and shouted in an intimidating tone: "Shopkeeper, if you still haven't paid this month's tax, you don't want to keep opening this inn!"
He placed the sword on his waist heavily on the table and threatened in a stern voice.
The shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter shrank his neck in fright at the sudden noise. The anger in his eyes flashed away. He hurriedly walked out, nodded and bowed and said with a smile: "Uncle... I didn't just pay this tax a few days ago. I
It's not easy for a small family to do business, so today I will pay the bill, and the elders can eat and drink well in the inn without charging a penny."
"What the hell, this is the territory of my world association. You can do whatever you want, and why are you so stubborn? Do you believe it or not? I ordered people to demolish this shabby inn of yours!"
Scarface glared with leopard eyes.
"It turns out that these are disciples of the Tianxiahui. No wonder they are so rampant. No wonder the area around here is the territory of the Tianxiahui. According to the nature of the Tianxiahui, how can there be no reason not to intervene?"
Li Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
"Uncle, can we extend this for a few more days? The store has been in a downturn recently, and it's really difficult for birthdays." The shopkeeper continued to plead, not daring to say anything in anger.
The waiter at the side came to make tea, but the teacup was knocked to the ground by a Tianxiahui disciple.
"It's so deceiving!"
With a strong sense of justice, Huai Kong threw the wine glass heavily, put his hands on the table, and shouted at the injustice.
But before he could take action, there was another group of people outside the inn. They kicked away the guards at the door and broke into the inn. I saw that the clothes of this group of people were completely different from those of Tianxiahui disciples.
A vigorous and powerful handwriting reads "Dugu".
"Zhang Hu, this Bingzhou is obviously our Wushuang City. When will it be your turn to come here to dominate the world?!"
The man in the lead, with sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes, shouted in a deep voice.
"Hmph, Zhao Ying, what a piece of shit you are, I can charge you whatever you want here, get out of here!"
Tianxiahui and Wushuang City, as two huge forces in today's world, are in a stalemate. The atmosphere suddenly dropped to zero. All the contradictions gathered together, just like a cluster of flames thrown into a barrel. The situation on the scene was out of control.
Zhang Hu raised his wrist, flashed his bright machete, and took the lead in attacking. Zhao Ying did not hesitate to give in. With a cry, he drew the sword from its sheath from his waist, and the blade trembled like a snake spitting out the letter, and stabbed with a cunning move.
.
The disciples of Wushuang City and Tianxiahui fought together, with cold light flashing, gold and iron clashing, and fierce momentum. Tables, chairs and benches overturned, leaving shocking sword marks.
Only the table where Li Xiao and Huai Kong were sitting seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall of air. The eyeless swords that were slashing at them either had their edges shattered, or they changed directions and turned towards them.
In another place, not even the hair on their temples was moved at all!
…
…
It was obvious that the number of Tianxiahui disciples on the field was more dominant, and due to space limitations, violent sword skills were more effective than elegant sword skills.
The Wushuang City side was still able to compete at the first moment, but as time went by, this disadvantage was gradually magnified as if it was put under a microscope. But in the end, the balance of victory had completely tilted towards Tianxiahui, and Wushuang City Zhao
Ying and others were surrounded and put up a desperate resistance.
"Brothers, let's kill all these disciples of Wushuang City. The deputy hall master will definitely reward you with a heavy reward!" Zhang Hu licked the corner of his mouth, smiled coldly, shook his arm holding the sharp knife, and pointed around
his men encouraged.
After hearing this, these Tianxiahui disciples were as excited as if they had been given blood, and were about to start a massacre.
Suddenly, "Chi!" a harsh sonic boom suddenly sounded, and a sharp sword energy shot out from Li Xiao's raised fingertips and hit Zhang Hu's heart.
Just when Zhang Hu was about to take off Zhao Ying's head, his steps froze, and the sneer on his face froze. His face turned red, and he looked down in disbelief.
At some point, a hole as thick as a candle appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain. His eyes widened in horror, but he couldn't make a sound no matter what, and his body swayed.
, fell to the ground, too dead to die!
A killing move, silent and silent.
"Who else!" Li Xiao turned his head, his eyes were ferocious, and an invisible pressure filled the air, making everyone present couldn't help but tremble.
The tiger head was dead. Who among the other rats dared to fight? The rest of the Tianxiahui disciples looked at each other, discarded their helmets and armor, and fled.
…
…
"Mr. Li's finger-flicking sword energy has actually reached the level of proficiency!" Huai Kong looked at Li Xiao's long and slender fingers and couldn't help but swallowed deeply.
The weapon Huai Kong carries on his back - Tian Sin, is neither a knife nor a sword, it is a unique weapon.
So strictly speaking, Huaikong didn't know much about sword energy martial arts, but he knew that if he wanted to emit sword energy without using a weapon, only martial arts masters like Wuming could do it. Master Tie Shen also told him,
There are no more than three people in the world who can do this, but the enigmatic Mr. Li in front of him actually occupies one of the seats. How can he not be surprised?
"Thank you for your help, hero...well...Zhao Ying is very grateful..." Zhao Ying covered her injured arm, leaned on her long sword, and tried to come forward to express her gratitude.
Li Xiao waved his hand casually and glanced at his injuries: "Are your injuries okay?"
"It's okay, just a simple bandage will be enough." Zhao Ying waved his arm to indicate that it was nothing serious, and after a while he said: "I don't know your name, but for your life-saving grace, I will be able to save my life in the future."
I will make a grass ring to repay you!"
"There's no need to repay the favor, but there's something I need you to do now."
Zhao Ying was slightly startled when he heard this: "It doesn't matter what the master said."
"Take me to see your city lord."
"Meet my city lord? Master, do you want to go to Wushuang City?"
"That's right. It seems that I have some connection with your city lord, so I'd like you to show me the way."
"It turns out to be like this... Our patrol mission out of the city has been completed this time. We are about to return to Wushuang City, so why don't we invite the experts to come with us?" A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Ying's eyes, and he nodded reflexively in surprise.
.
Li Xiao nodded slightly, then turned around and patted Huai Kong on the shoulder: "Huai Kong, I have something to do in Wushuang City, so let's say goodbye."
"Okay, Mr. Li, we are destined to meet again." Huaikong stood up and said respectfully, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes as bright as spring water.
Li Xiao couldn't help but nodded, and just as he was about to walk out of the inn, he paused again, his eyes flashing with light, and he said sincerely: "Huai Kong, don't be blinded by the appearance of some things. There are countless strange and cold things in this world.
Yes, but why did your master insist on seizing that peerless sword? Have you ever thought about the deeper reason?"
"What do you mean, Mr. Li?" Huaikong was stunned on the spot, looking puzzled.
"You will understand this reason yourself, and you will see it later." After saying this, Li Xiao left without looking back. Surrounded by the disciples of Wushuang City, he finally disappeared on a busy street corner.
"Mr. Li, there is something in his words." Huai Kong couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at the figure disappearing at the end of the street.
…
…
Li Xiao, Zhao Ying and others left Bingzhou and headed west, gradually entering the sphere of influence of Wushuang City.
Along the way, you can see disciples from Wushuang City stationed on many hills and strategic roads. The flags representing the power of the Dugu clan are also flying everywhere, which is very spectacular.
At this time, Zhao Ying and others who were injured in the fight with Tianxiahui were simply bandaged and their injuries were stabilized. After entering their own territory, they were able to remove their solemn expressions.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiao, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but said: "Since Bingzhou is a battleground for the world, why don't you station more disciples in Wushuang City? Otherwise, the fight just now will not end."
Go downwind."
In the battle at the inn just now, the Tianxiahui disciples had some advantages in using sharp knives, but this was not the fundamental reason. In the final analysis, the number of disciples in Wushuang City was relatively small at that time, and looking at the entire Bingzhou, the forces of Wushuang City only penetrated very little.
, this seems a bit abnormal. Doesn’t Dugu Ming realize the importance of Bingzhou?
Zhao Ying shook his head and showed a bitter smile: "This gentleman doesn't know something. It's not that our Wushuang City is unwilling to station more disciples, but that we simply have no way."
"There's no way?" Li Xiao couldn't help but frown.
"Yes, if you want to increase the manpower stationed there, there simply won't be enough disciples in the sect. The geographical location of Wushuang City is very special. Speaking of which, the ancestor of our Wushuang City was the subordinate of Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou during the Three Kingdoms period - Wushuang General Pan.
Feng, because of his meritorious service in challenging Hua Xiong at Sishui Pass, Jizhou Mu rewarded him with the Wushuang City as a fiefdom. The terrain here is special. If a foreign enemy invades from the outside, the Wushuang City is located in the vertical zone, so it will naturally be difficult to be affected...
...However, if there is internal dispute, it will be attacked from both sides."
"Our Wushuang City is bordered by the Tianxiahui to the east and the Tianmen forces to the north. It can be said that we are surrounded by enemies from both sides and attacked from both sides. Therefore, the city lord has to evenly distribute the disciples in the sect to various stations. In this way, the number of disciples is more scattered and the manpower is relatively weak.
." Zhao Ying said.
"So that's it." After listening to Zhao Ying's explanation, Li Xiao also felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
The world will sit in the east, and in ancient times, the north was respected, so Emperor Shitian set the headquarters of Tianmen in the north. In this way, the two major forces had a common intersection, and they happened to form a tie with this unparalleled city.
The power of the horn.
Wushuang City has to be on guard against the gazes of these two major forces at the same time. The pressure is not ordinary. No wonder Zhao Ying and others look so solemn.
With that said, the group of people had arrived at Wushuang City. Li Xiao slowly raised his head, and before his eyes, he saw an ancient and desolate city with mottled bluestones, like a silent black dragon, lying there quietly!
