With the death of the middle-aged monk, Lu Qingshan not only did not feel relieved, but frowned instead.
This man's sneak attack was decisive and ruthless.
This didn't seem like an attack specifically targeting him, but more like it was simply because he appeared in Tai'an City.
Was this a special arrangement made by the person behind the scenes in order to conceal the news of Tai'an City?
Leave strong men to lurk in Tai'an City and eliminate all those who come to Tai'an City, so as to achieve the effect of keeping it secret.
It looks like it.
But if you think about it carefully, there are many strange and unreasonable things in it.
The people of an entire city disappeared. Even if the person behind the scenes was extremely powerful, how could he conceal it with such crude means?
You can hide it for a while, but not forever.
This is completely different from their previous style.
Before this, these people had targeted small and unknown sects, and then used their own means to erase all traces of these sects from the world.
This time, their move suddenly became so big that they targeted a Daxia city, but the means of dealing with the aftermath became so crude?
The more unreasonable the situation is, the more it represents bad news.
Lu Qingshan felt worried and once again swept his eyes across the empty Tai'an City.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly focused and looked towards the center of Tai'an City below.
There, a thick black mist was constantly seeping out from the ground.
In the rolling fog.
A strange character appears.
Dressed in purple-black armor, he looked like a heavenly soldier or general, mighty and majestic.
A thick mask completely covered his face, revealing only a pair of extremely deep eyes hidden beneath the mask.
A dark purple mist filled his heavy armor.
this?
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes, and immediately a black fish appeared in his pupils, blending into his dark pupils and becoming difficult to detect.
Pupil technique: identifying evil.
Immediately, in his eyes, a scarlet murderous aura suddenly appeared on the body of this strange figure.
The murderous intent was overwhelming, rolling out and reaching the sky.
Before one wave subsides, another wave rises.
It seems that there are a lot of things hidden in Tai'an City.
Lu Qingshan felt a chill in his heart and snorted coldly.
The dragon bird rushed out of his body again, emitting an astonishing wave, and flew towards the man in black armor.
The dragon bird flying at high speed drew a bright red light across the sky, as brilliant as the sunset.
In the silent sky above Tai'an City, the sound of thunder and lightning caused by the flying sword seemed particularly deafening.
However, faced with such a violent attack from the flying swords, the man in black armor with empty hands stood still and allowed the flying swords to shoot at him.
Lu Qingshan's outstanding vision allowed him to clearly see the mysterious rune patterns on the black-armored man's armor, which were profound and difficult to understand.
The dragon bird seemed to tear through space and approached the man in black armor at an unimaginable speed.
Just when the flying sword was about to hit him, the man in black armor suddenly stretched out his left hand covered with black armor and blocked the dragon bird.
clang!
The sword's roar shook the heavens.
The red dragon bird blade of the sword rubbed violently against the left hand of the man in black armor, creating a string of sparks.
But this was not enough. At this time, the man in black armor suddenly clenched his left hand, trying to hold Lu Qingshan's flying sword.
Seize the sword with bare hands.
Lu Qingshan's expression was extremely solemn. With a thought, the Dragon Bird moved sideways, drawing a graceful trajectory in the air, barely avoiding the black-armored man's grip and returning to his side.
The man in black armor did not catch Longque, but he did not care. He just calmly put down his left hand, then raised his head and looked at Lu Qingshan in mid-air.
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes hidden under the visor.
"Lianxu?" the man in black armor said softly.
Lu Qingshan, who was above the sky, looked down from above, his eyes sweeping across the black-armored man's left armor.
The place was intact, without even a white mark.
He blocked his flying sword which was powerful enough to kill a god without even shaking.
Powerful and terrifying.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath.
This black-armored man is extremely strange and his specific cultivation level cannot be sensed at all.
But judging from this performance alone, his combat capability is definitely far beyond the realm of transformation of spirits.
Although in terms of explosive power, external sword techniques are much stronger than internal sword techniques.
But Lu Qingshan also knew that if the flying sword couldn't even shake his black armor in the slightest, even if he used external sword techniques, the effect would not be too obvious.
A very powerful opponent.
Do you want to use the sword talisman?
In this situation, it seems that only the sword talisman can cure this black-armored man.
A bright yellow talisman has appeared in the palm of his hand, ready to go.
Just as Lu Qingshan's thoughts flashed through his mind, the man in black armor finally moved.
He stretched out his hand, but this time it was his right palm.
The man in black armor gently pressed his right palm downwards and uttered a strange syllable with unclear meaning.
An invisible ripple suddenly spread out in all directions with the black-armored man's palm as the center.
In an instant, the situation changed drastically.
Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.
Dark clouds were suspended above the sky, giving off a terrifying aura of vast changes.
In the clouds and mist, there were lightning and thunder.
Arcs of lightning converged to form a web that drags the sky and the earth, and lightning snakes emerged from the black clouds.
It was falling down with the momentum of destroying the city.
It was like a thunder pool falling from the sky, threatening to completely submerge Lu Qingshan. The scene was shocking.
Lu Qingshan didn't dare to think any more and immediately prepared to activate the sword talisman.
suddenly.
A crisp sound came between heaven and earth.
whoosh!
This caused his movements to suddenly stop.
The next moment, Lu Qingshan suddenly widened his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
It was a vibrant green light that came from nowhere and suddenly shot towards me at an indescribable speed.
In the green light, there is an extremely condensed sword intent.
It is so condensed that it seems to be substantial and lingering.
It was like a meteor, passing through the low sky.
The tail light lingered for a long time, leaving a mark in the void, and shot unwaveringly towards the black-armored man in the center of Tai'an City.
The seemingly far distance is reached in a moment.
The impenetrable black armor seemed like paper in front of the green light and was easily pierced through.
Then, a sky full of sword energy burst out from the green light and exploded with a loud bang.
The seemingly extraordinary black armor was suddenly pierced like a hedgehog, full of holes.
The burly body of the man in black armor fell down with a loud bang.
The thunderclouds in the sky that gave people an infinite sense of oppression suddenly disappeared the moment the man in black armor fell, and the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, returning to the original clear sky.
The rolling thunder disappeared.
Everything returned to peace between heaven and earth.
The scorching sun shone down and fell on the body of the black-armored man.
Lu Qingshan was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words.
When all the storms subsided, he finally saw everything clearly.
On the fallen body of the black-armored man, on the armor at his chest, there was a green leaf as straight as a sword, which penetrated three-tenths of the armor.
That green light that made his heart tremble and was filled with the condensed sword intent, was actually carried by the most common, ordinary, and inconspicuous leaf in the world? !
A leaf is a sword.
How could a leaf carry such a powerful sword force without dispersing or collapsing?
This is an amazing way to turn decay into magic.
Lu Qingshan could not help but close his eyes and concentrate, repeatedly recalling in his mind the trajectory of the sword energy formed by a green leaf. He felt an inexplicable sword intent arising in his chest, almost bursting out.
Just by looking at this "sword", he was able to guess the sword's intent.
This method was beyond his understanding.
Only a god could use such means, right?
Fortunately, he has been climbing the peak of Kendo for a long time and has left the foot of the mountain.
If he had seen such a method when he first started practicing swordsmanship, he would probably be intimidated, as if he had seen an unclimbable peak. If he wanted to climb up, he would need tremendous courage, right?
After a moment, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes and his sight extended along the long streets of Tai'an City.
At the end of the street, a thin middle-aged man appeared and walked towards the man in black armor.
That should be the person who used flying leaves as flying sword.
The middle-aged man had nothing in his hands.
But Lu Qingshan felt a familiar divine presence from him.
That is the sword intention.
The sword's power is so profound that it is almost undetectable.
But once you feel it, you will find that the sword intent is heavy, like a deep abyss or a towering mountain.
Even from Xia Daoyun, Lu Qingshan had never felt such a solemn sword intent.
Lu Qingshan immediately had an idea and controlled the flying sword, carrying the two sisters Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu, and fell down together. They landed on the street. Then he took the two sisters' hands and walked slowly forward, approaching the middle-aged man.
When they were about ten feet apart, Lu Qingshan stopped and saluted him with a fist, "Thank you for your help, senior."
Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu looked at their master and quickly followed his example, raising their fists.
The middle-aged man had a calm expression. He did not respond at first, but just stared at Lu Qingshan.
Finally, he said slowly: "The sword you just used was okay."
The middle-aged man should be referring to the Zhentian Secret Sword.
Lu Qingshan said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, senior. I am just repeating ."
"By analogy, isn't the way of swordsmanship just copying what others have said?" The middle-aged man laughed and said, "But, even if it is copying what others have said, not everyone can copy it well."
After a pause, the middle-aged man said in a friendly manner: "Do you know me?"
Lu Qingshan said respectfully, "I am Xia Daoyun's disciple, Sword Sect Lu Qingshan, nice to meet you, Senior Li."
The middle-aged man's sword power was so majestic that even his master Xia Daoyun, who was regarded as the first female swordsman in human history, was far inferior to him.
Such a sword master is not a member of the sword sect.
Who else could it be except the legendary contemporary swordsman who is elusive and the Chang'an Sword Immortal Li Qiubai?
Could there be a second person?
Li Qiubai had never fought with the other two sword masters in his life.
But his master had told him that in terms of talent in swordsmanship alone, Li Qiubai was recognized as the best in the world, with no one better than him.
His swordsmanship was unrivaled in the world.
To be honest, he and Li Qiubai actually had a sword relationship.
His secret sword, also known as Sword One, was created by Li Qiubai.
Unexpected yet reasonable.
The surprise is that under such circumstances, he would meet one of the three sword masters of the human race today.
It is understandable that when Lu Qingshan saw Li Qiubai, a voice in his heart told him that this must be the Sword Immortal, it must be Li Qiubai.
It was as if someone had set the rules in advance that this was how a sword immortal should be.
Moreover, the Qingyun Sword Immortal guards the Yumen Pass of Tianshan Mountain, and the Tianhe Sword Immortal sits in Tianhe City.
In the human realm, the only sword immortal he could theoretically meet was the Chang'an Sword Immortal.
Thinking of the many legends about the Chang'an Sword Immortal among the human race, plus the trick of using leaves as flying sword is still vivid in my mind, just thinking about it makes my heart waver.
This sword master can have such power and courage with just one leaf.
If he were to walk with a sword in hand, what level of sword power would he be able to display, and what terrifying methods would he be able to use?
Lu Qingshan just found it hard to imagine.
"Xia Daoyuan's disciple, no wonder..." Li Qiubai didn't care even though his identity was revealed.
He was introverted and not at all arrogant, just like chatting with a younger generation in the family. He laughed heartily and said, "That girl has a promising future in sword practice."
Girl?
Lu Qingshan thought of Xia Daoyun, who was always very dignified in front of him. He found it difficult to associate her with the word "maid" and dared not respond.
"Did Senior Li come here by chance, or..." He hesitated and changed the subject.
"I found something and followed it all the way here." Li Qiubai said calmly.
"I found something... What do you mean, Senior?"
"Tai'an City is not the first empty city I have seen." Chang'an Sword Immortal said concisely.
Just such a simple sentence caused a huge wave of shock in Lu Qingshan's heart.
On this side, Li Qiubai lowered his eyes slightly.
On the ground, the black-armored man lay dead, with spider-web-like cracks spreading from his armor centered on his chest.
The front half of the green leaf on his chest was still embedded in the armor, but the exposed half of the leaf was shaking slightly.
If the thunder ball that Lu Qingshan had just transformed into by the Zhentian Zhan Divine Transformation cultivator was like a toothpick poking a chicken egg.
This Chang'an swordsman is just trying to fight against a rock with an egg.
The problem is that the stone was actually broken by the egg.
This made Lu Qingshan couldn't help but marvel once again.
Li Qiubai carefully scanned the armor on the black-armored man, looking carefully at every line and paying attention to every detail.
Then he knocked on the armor again.
Ding ding.
The sound is crisp.
"This is the work of Shui Yuntai."
"Shuiyuntai?" Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
"The weapon refining station under Daxia is good at refining armor. The most famous one is this five-element and two-different divine armor. There are countless layers of talismans engraved on the armor, one layer upon another. The method is very strange. Once put on, one will have infinite divine power and be invulnerable to swords and spears."
What kind of divine armor is this? Isn’t this just a mecha?
An inappropriate complaint suddenly popped up in Lu Qingshan's mind.
"This armor is the Thunder Armor." Li Qiubai said slowly.
"However, this divine armor is ultimately too evil. Once put on, the armor controls the person, rather than the person controlling the armor. The person wearing the armor will become a walking corpse, so it has been listed as a forbidden item long ago."
The so-called banned items are those things that cannot be stopped despite repeated bans.
Lu Qingshan's eyes swept across the black thunder armor and said in his heart.
After Li Qiubai finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and the green leaf that was three-tenths of an inch deep was immediately pulled out.
Crash!
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
At the moment the green leaf was pulled out, the thunder armor covered with spider patterns suddenly shattered and turned into countless fragments, revealing the body of the armored man inside.
His body was covered with twisted scars, twisted like an earthworm or a centipede, extremely ugly, without any trace of a human figure.
"Ah!" Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu screamed subconsciously, they were frightened. After they reacted, they quickly covered their mouths embarrassedly.
Chang'an Sword Immortal smiled gently, stretched out his hand and rubbed the two little sisters' heads, very kindly, "What is there to be afraid of?"
Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu nodded vigorously, indicating that they were very brave and were not afraid anymore.
"Under the command of Daxia..." On this side, Lu Qingshan murmured: "Is it really Daxia..."
He clenched his fists, raised his head and looked towards the sky.
In the field of vision, the sunlight falls like feathers, brilliant and moving.
However, looking around the empty Tai'an City, Lu Qingshan felt extremely chilled, as if he was in the cold winter.
Tai'an City is a city of Daxia, built by Daxia itself to protect the human race.
Daxia is the patron saint of the human race.
But now...what are some people in Da Xia, who are the guardian gods and are deeply trusted by the human race, doing?
After checking the situation and understanding the information clearly, Li Qiubai shook his head and said softly: "Let's go."
"Where are you going, senior?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Shuiyuntai."
It sounds like a surprising, but reasonable answer.
Why would a sword immortal need to beat around the bush when doing things?
The city is empty, and the only clue left points to Shuiyuntai. Why not just go and ask?
Lu Qingshan was startled, then quickly came to his senses, his heart was shaken, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Senior, can I go with you?"
The reason why he wanted to go with us was that he was also investigating the matter and was concerned about it.
This is an important clue and he doesn't want to miss it. He wants to know the truth and get to the bottom of it.
The second reason is because of some kind of sentiment.
It's like a student studying Chinese language suddenly meeting Li Bai.
The emotional fluctuations and yearning in my heart at that moment cannot be expressed in words.
The thought of following my peers came out of my mouth almost subconsciously.
Chang'an Sword Immortal had originally turned his back, but now upon hearing this, he turned back.
He glanced at Lu Qingshan and the two sisters beside him, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
