I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 200: A ray of hope comes one after another (10k)

Over the vast desert, the stars and the moon hang high in the sky, and the east is already slightly white.

A huge cloud of dust rose up like a tornado behind the figure in the distance.

Looking at Lu Laosan rushing over the horizon, even people who didn't know him would know that he was definitely a martial arts master.

Xie Yuan looked at the imposing Lu Lao San and felt his heart sink. He glanced at his companions and found that they all had pale faces.

This time, Xie Yuan didn't feel confident.

If Xie Yuan had always felt at ease during the previous crises, after all, he would have dared to fight against someone below the Grandmaster level even if his Qi and Blood had changed three times, relying on his special skills;
Facing Lu Laosan, he had no choice but to stay away from him.

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth slightly. He thought that the safest strategy would be to just use the Heaven Hidden Technique to leave now.

Although it was somewhat risky to sneak around in front of Lu Lao San in the vast desert, and it would most likely expose his true identity;
But Xiaocheng's Tianyin Technique could have deceived the Grandmaster. Compared with other methods, Xie Yuan felt that this was probably the one with the highest probability of escape.

However, even if he could escape, Xie Yuan didn't want to do so now.

There were several companions beside him, they came to save him. If he abandoned them so easily, what kind of person would he be? Why would he practice martial arts?

Never give up until it is absolutely necessary. There must be a way out, at least think of it first.

Xie Yuan's mind raced, and his companions beside him also started to discuss hurriedly:
"It's the Grandmaster! It's Lu Lao San!"

"What should I do? I can't escape."

"Reveal your identity? He always knows how to handle the situation."

"I'm afraid this is a bit risky. It seems that he hides a secret here. We..."

"What should we do!"

Xie Yuan glanced around and found that all the escape routes were blocked, and the father and son of the Lu family were approaching quickly. He could no longer hesitate.

We have to go back to the basin first, maybe there is a way out there.

If that fails, the chaos there can also help him escape at the last moment...

Although he didn't want to go that far, if things really went wrong, Xie Yuan would have no choice but to protect himself and seek revenge in the future.

"This way! Go back and deal with it first!"

Xie Yuan shouted in a low voice, and decisively led the horse in a direction.

Several fellow disciples were at a loss, even Huang Yifeng was a little overwhelmed. Seeing the usually naive Zhang Shan taking the initiative to lead the way, they were stunned for a moment and subconsciously said:

"What are you doing! That's the way back..."

"It's all a dead end, try to survive!"

Xie Yuan was brief and to the point, and at this point he no longer cared about whether the violence was exposed or whether the character was well-defined.

Anyway, as long as I am alive, everything can be explained. If I die, everything will end.

After hearing what they heard, they thought it made sense and hurriedly followed Xie Yuan on horseback.

The bandits didn't expect that a few people were going back. The pursuers were circling forward, and there was a little more space behind.

The bandits were stunned, but snorted coldly, which was exactly what they wanted. Although there were not many pursuers in this direction, there were still a large number of bandits around the ruins. They walked here, and they couldn't catch up for a while, but it was like getting into the hole of a pocket, walking into a trap, waiting to be tied up after entering.

The five men rode their horses at full speed, followed by a large group of bandits on horseback, as well as Lu Laosan and his son in two further directions, raising a cloud of dust over the desert before dawn.

However, the distance between the two masters was rapidly closing, gradually surpassing the galloping horse and catching up with the five people.

The pit was just ahead, but the sound of breaking wind behind was getting closer and closer, and Lu Laosan's cold roar also reached his ears:

"Stop! If you stop now, I'll consider leaving your bodies intact; if you run a few more steps, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons apart, then cut your bodies into pieces!
"I have always kept my distance from your Sword Sect, but you, a few little brats, dared to provoke me and ruin my plan. I cannot swallow this anger. I must kill you all, strip you naked, and hang you at the gate of Oasis City until you are dried in the sun!"

Lu Laosan kept cursing, making Lin Zhen pale, and the faces of the other people also turned pale.

The bandit leader was obviously furious. Even missing Mu Chaoyun had not made him so angry.

He received the news from his son and rushed there quickly, but saw only ruins.

However, after searching around, he still couldn't find the culprit, Xie Yuan. He was furious and could only vent his anger on the several Sword Sect disciples who came to cause trouble.

He himself didn't expect that he had actually sent the message to the wrong person.

Xie Yuan and his companions did not even dare to turn their heads. They only felt a huge pressure coming closer and closer from behind. It was getting bigger and bigger. The horses under their crotch even felt their legs go weak.

The Grandmaster's undisguised aura was like a natural enemy to the animals, enough to make them fall to the ground and wail.

"I'm afraid it won't work..."

Xie Yuan closed his eyes slightly, feeling heavy in his heart.

Lu Lao San...

He muttered the name silently, his eyes gleaming, and he was ready to use the Sky Hidden Technique to hide his tracks, and then crash into the group of horse bandits on the side and escape in the chaos.

However, at this moment, an extremely shrill whistle came from behind, as if a sharp weapon pierced through the air at an unimaginable speed and came straight towards Xie Yuan and his companions.

The voice came close almost as soon as it appeared, leaving Xie Yuan with no time to react and his face changed drastically.

"This Lu Lao San is still throwing weapons?"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, a huge force came from behind and blew him away.

However, this energy was very gentle, and it helped the five people from the Sword Sect land steadily on the ground, turn over and stand up, without any embarrassment.

Several people were stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and saw that Lu Laosan was already close before them, but he stopped motionless with a solemn look on his face.

And in the sand between them and Lu Laosan, there was a green bamboo sword stuck in it, which had blasted a large pit several feet in radius in the sand.

Huang Zifeng was stunned for a moment, his face was filled with ecstasy, he raised his head and shouted:

"Master! You are finally here!"

Xie Yuan and the other four looked up and found that in the distant sky, there was a figure in a green robe approaching rapidly with a fierce roar, and its speed was not much slower than the flying magic sword!
The man came close in a few breaths, and flashed directly above the heads of Xie Yuan and the other four, revealing the face of a gaunt middle-aged man.

He was tall and thin, with three long wisps of beard under his chin that hung down to his chest, like a middle-aged scholar.

Although he looked like a scholar, he actually had seven scabbards on his back, arranged in order like a fan, looking very majestic.

Xie Yuan stood below and behind him, and looked carefully, and found that the seven scabbards were not carried on his back, but were floating behind him, rising and falling with his body. There was a mysterious pattern in their arrangement, neatly arranged but not touching each other, and at different angles.

And one of the seven scabbards was empty, which should be the sword stuck in the sand.

Just as Xie Yuan was thinking this, he saw the thin man wave his hand, and the bamboo sword in the sand flew back with a whoosh and returned steadily to its sheath.

This move alone silenced the thousands of horse bandits in the field, who dared not move.

Everyone was afraid that if they showed any sign of abnormality, the flying sword would come through and behead them directly.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course he knew this person. Even if he had never seen him, everyone in the Yunshan Sword Sect should know the only master in the sect who practiced flying swords.

The abbot of Zhujian Peak, Lupe.

Seeing the Grand Master coming to help, several disciples of the Yunshan Sword Sect finally put their minds at ease.

Especially since it was Lupe who came, they felt even safer.

Although the Grandmaster's level was still far from them, the disciples all said that Lupe's cultivation was second only to the Sect Master Li Xingtuo in the sect.

It is said that Lupe practices flying swordsmanship on Bamboo Sword Peak all day long and rarely fights with outsiders. In fact, his skills are already quite impressive, enough to be included in the Flying Dragon List. The only thing left is a battle.

Originally, in the last sword debate with Cangjian Pavilion, everyone thought that Lupe would compete with Song Qingping, but the subsequent developments were beyond many people's expectations. They gossiped enough and could not help but admire Li Xingtuo's ingenuity.

Huang Yifeng looked at his master with a look of joy on his face.

Lupe stroked his long beard, without turning his head, and said calmly:
"Zifeng, are you injured?"

"Reporting to Master, there are many minor injuries, but no major injuries."

Huang Zifeng replied respectfully.

Lupe nodded:
"Yes, you have managed to protect yourself and your fellow disciples in such a bandit formation. It seems that you have really mastered your training."

Huang Zifeng looked embarrassed after hearing this comment.

In fact, he didn't encounter any strong opponents. Ninety-nine percent of the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm were attracted away by Xie Yuan. He had been facing the horse bandits who were training outside the group, so it was naturally not easy to get hurt.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't refute his master, so he could only say in a low voice:
"Master, thank you for your praise."

Third Lu watched Lu Pei teach his disciples, cautious and impatient, and said coldly:
"Lupe, I have always been at peace with your Sword Sect. Why are you making such a fuss here this time?"

Lu Pei looked at Lu Lao San and said calmly:

"You are a horse bandit, and you have committed many evil deeds. We in the Sword Sect are against violence and protect the good. When we see you, we will naturally kill you. What's wrong with that?"

"Bah, so domineering! Lupe, do you think I'm really afraid of you?"

Lu Lao San spat out, his face furious:
"This is not you, Yunshan. If you dare to come to my territory, I think you can't leave!"

After saying this, he swung his huge saber and slashed at Lupe!

Lu Pei narrowed his eyes, pointed his hand forward, and with three swish sounds, three emerald green bamboo swords were unsheathed from his back, almost like lightning, slashing towards Lu Lao San!

Lu Lao San swung his sword, a ray of light flashed, and knocked the three bamboo swords away; however, the bamboo swords only flew a short distance, turned around, and stabbed down again with incredible speed!
Lu Laosan's face darkened slightly, and he swung his saber wildly, knocking the light bamboo sword away continuously, preventing it from getting close to him; however, the bamboo sword could always dance with the wind, turn around and come back, constantly harassing him.

The power of any one bamboo sword is not that great for a master, but when there are three of them together, Lu Lao San dare not ignore it.

He had no choice but to swing his saber wildly to protect his body. Although he was safe for a while, he had no good plan to break the deadlock.

Lu Pei stood in the air like a sword immortal. With a wave of his hand, he commanded three bamboo swords to attack the enemy from a distance, leaving Lu Lao San helpless and invincible.

Moreover, neither the onlookers nor Lu Lao San forgot that there were four bamboo swords behind Lu Pei, which had not been unsheathed.

The unsheathed sword put Lu Lao San under more pressure than the three swords around him, and he was already sweating.

Xie Yuan opened his mouth slightly, with some admiration and some envy:

"Is this Elder Lu's strength? He is indeed a master who is rumored to be at the level of the Flying Dragon Ranking. He suppressed Elder Lu with just three sword strikes. His flying sword skills are already superb!"

Moreover, it is a bit too chic and elegant!
He suddenly had the idea of ​​"learning this trick".

However, although the flying sword technique is powerful and elegant, and its advantages are particularly long, its shortcomings have also caused controversy within the sect.

First, it is difficult to practice. In the Yunshan Sword Sect, where sword techniques are varied, it is second to none. Few people can learn it, and it requires great talent.

Secondly, it consumes a lot of energy. Practicing this way requires extremely strong internal strength, so that one can control cranes and dragons, remotely control flying swords, and attack enemies from a distance.

Third, the power is ultimately lacking compared to holding a sword in your hand.

After all, this is not the flying sword in the magic of immortality that can kill people thousands of miles away with just a thought.

As for the requirements of this martial art on the material of the flying sword, it is also not small. Only a special bamboo sword can ensure that it is sharp and hard while being light and easy to control. These shortcomings include the huge cost of wealth, etc. There are many more, so there is no need to say more.

Therefore, many people think that flying swordsmanship is useless. With such natural talent and inner energy, if one practices other swordsmanship, the power will be more than doubled.

Of course, when it comes to long-range killing, difficulty of defense, safety of the swordsman, and most importantly, appearance, the flying sword technique is unmatched.

After all, many people who learn sword skills want to become as elegant as a sword immortal. Therefore, although few people in the Sword Sect have learned this flying sword technique, it has always been very popular.

Lu Peiyao used the flying sword technique, looking down at Lu Laosan with a slightly frown.

The Yunshan Sword Sect is not far from the Western Desert, so they are familiar with the strong men in the Western Desert.

Although Mr. Lu looks rough, he is actually quite delicate in mind. He always stays away from big families and is very rational.

However, this time, he came on behalf of the Sword Sect, and after a few words, Lu Lao San took the initiative to attack, and it seemed that he was unwilling to give him face and let him go.

Now Lu Lao San seems to be passive, but as far as Lupe knows, this is not his full strength.

Lu Pei was confident in his strength, but it was not the case that the three flying swords could make Lu Lao San unable to fight back.

He is so passive and doesn't use any special moves. What is he waiting for?
Lupe narrowed her eyes, her eyes flickering.

He is gathering strength, he...

He actually wanted to kill himself!

Lu Pei snorted coldly, and swung his fingers forward violently. With two clanging sounds, two flying swords flew out from behind him and slashed towards Lu Lao San!

When Lu Laosan saw Lu Pei using real kung fu, his face changed slightly, and he roared, and slashed his saber diagonally. A huge blade light was emitted, and it went straight up to the sky!

Five flying swords were knocked away at the same time. Lupe's eyes focused, and his graceful figure standing in the air flashed for the first time, avoiding the sword light that seemed to be able to cut through the sky.

When Lu Laosan saw that his long-prepared attack was easily seen through and dodged by Lu Pei, and that the five flying swords turned around and flew towards him again, his face darkened.

"Lupe, forget it! I won't bother with you today, just take your disciples and go!"

Lu Pei kept making gestures, and the five flying swords circled around Lu Lao San and slashed wildly, making him feel helpless.

He said calmly:

"You can let me stay and I can stay, you can let me go and I can leave, where will the reputation of our Yunshan Sword Sect be?"

"Lupe, are you really going to fight me to the death today?"

Lu Laosan roared in a low voice.

Lupe raised his eyebrows, and when he saw his bloodshot eyes staring at the disciples at his feet, he hesitated for a moment.

He said quietly:

"It's not impossible to stop. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Lu Laosan asked in a deep voice.

Lupe looked back and saw the big pit in the distance:

"Tell me what the hell you are doing here."

Lu Lao San's expression suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly:
"No comment."

"That's really the secret here."

Lupe smiled.

Lu Laosan's behavior was strange from the beginning. Plus, there were so many horse bandits here, accounting for 90% of his strength. They must be guarding the strangeness here!

Seeing that Lu Laosan had a sullen face and didn't answer, Lu Pei gradually raised his body and was about to look into the pit.

Lu Laosan's face changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and swung the knife again.

Lupe ducked down, dodged the knife light, and said with a smile:

"Look, you were the first to strike. You can't blame me."

"You, the Yunshan Sword Sect, have always been so despicable and shameless!"

Lu Lao San roared.

Lu Pei ignored him, raised his palm with five fingers spread out, and the five flying swords slowly rose into the air with his movements, lined up in a row, with the cold and sharp sword tips pointing at Lu Lao San, bringing him extremely heavy pressure.

Lu Laosan's throat moved, his face darkened, he held the saber tightly and stared at Lupe.

Lupe was about to swing her hand forward when she suddenly paused and tilted her head to the side.

Lu Laosan was stunned for a moment, then his face changed slightly and he also looked into the distance.

At this time, the sky was about to brighten, the sun in the east was half risen, and half of the sky was bright and half dark.

And in the dark desert in the west, there seemed to be an even darker storm, rapidly blowing towards this side.

Xie Yuan looked intently and seemed to see only a black sandstorm coming towards him.

However, for a sandstorm, it was too fast and was almost approaching in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, a sinister voice resounded through the heaven and earth:
"Lupe, when did you come to visit my West Desert without even saying hello to me?"

Lupe's face showed a rare solemnity, and he said in a deep voice:
"Black Wind Demon..."

"How can you talk like that, young man? You are so rude."

The voice laughed sinisterly:

"Looks like I have to invite you to sit in my Black Wind."

The black sandstorm blew up in an instant, and many horse bandits who were unable to escape were caught up in it. After letting out short, miserable howls, there was silence, with only the howling wind.

The storm gradually subsided, revealing an old man wearing a black robe and with gray weed-like hair. He had a hooked nose, triangular eyes, and a naturally drooping mouth, looking very sinister.

Xie Yuan's heart trembled, he felt that the man's momentum was no less than Lupe's, maybe even better.

Old Man Heifeng, given his seniority, has no problem calling the head of Bamboo Sword Peak, Lupe, a junior.

He has been a master for nearly a hundred years, and is actually a contemporary master of the Yunshan Sword Sect.

He traveled back and forth in the Western Desert and was active for a hundred years. The only time he did not dare to provoke King Pingxi during his western expedition was when he disappeared for a while. Later, when the Dali army withdrew, he made a comeback.

In terms of strength, Old Man Black Wind is one of the strongest masters of evil ways in the Western Desert. His reputation has been great for a hundred years and it is not unfounded.

Lu Pei glanced at the Black Wind Elder, then at Lu Lao San, and said calmly:

"Is this the helper you hired?"

Lu Laosan pursed his lips and did not answer.

Seeing him like this, Lupe was thoughtful.

The old man Black Wind laughed strangely and said:
"Why would Xiao Sanzi invite me here? I'm afraid it's too late to hide the news here from me.

"I never thought that you, little Lu Lao San, could hold back such a big fart! You actually hid an ancient relic!"

He came riding on the wind, so he could naturally see the scene in the pit clearly.

Lu Lao San gritted his teeth and bowed:
"Senior Black Wind, this junior is also a coincidence..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll refine this sword first, and then I'll argue with you." The old man Black Wind looked impatient. He waved his hand and blew up a black whirlwind, hitting Lupe.

Lupe snorted coldly:
“Just try it!”

He waved his hand, and five bamboo swords flashed in unison, directly cutting through the strong wind and stabbing towards the old man Black Wind.

The two great masters started fighting fiercely in an instant. The black wind was howling, the flying swords were shining, and the air was in chaos. The sound of swords and wind was so loud that it seemed unreal.

Listening to the occasional strange laughter coming from inside, Lu Laosan's face turned red and white.

Although Old Man Black Wind took on Lupe, deep down he was unwilling to have Old Man Black Wind come to help.

It is possible that Lupe can be driven away, or at least he will not stay here for long, but once old man Black Wind comes, this place will no longer belong to him.

It’s all that damn Xie Yuan’s fault. He caused such a big fuss and I don’t know where he is hiding now.

If I find him, I will tear him into pieces...

He gritted his teeth and thought hard.

His eyes swept over the pale-faced Sword Sect disciples in front of him, he snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"Tianyong, catch them."

Then Lu Laosan stomped his feet and rushed directly to the sky battle group.

He wanted to reap the benefits, but old man Heifeng would not let him.

Let's go up and fight Lupe off first, and once we're in the battle group, if there's a chance...

Lu Laosan naturally could not have imagined that Xie Yuan, whom he had been "thinking about day and night", would be blocked in front of him by accident. He even looked at him, but he did not recognize him and let go.

Otherwise, he would never go up to fight at this time.

The masters in the sky were fighting each other, and the bandits on the ground saw Lu Laosan's gesture and slowly surrounded them again.

Xie Yuan and several of his fellow disciples exchanged a glance, knowing that Lupe was surrounded by two people and couldn't take care of himself, so he probably couldn't help them, so he shouted:
"run!"

A few people turned around and ran, but the horse bandits had already approached them, including second-level masters, and the covetous Lu Xiaosan - real name Lu Tianyong, Xiaosan was just a nickname given by Xie Yuan because he didn't know his real name.

Lu Tianyong snorted coldly, stomped his feet hard, causing a cloud of dust to blow up, and quickly chased after the men.

At this moment, a bamboo sword suddenly flew down from the sky, like a green line, cutting the fastest horse bandits in half!

Lu Tianyong's soul was terrified and he stopped in an emergency, almost stopping just a hair's breadth away from the tip of the bamboo sword.

A roar came from the sky:

"Lupe, you still have the mood to take care of things down there? Just take care of yourself!"

The old man Heifeng also sneered:

"You have five swords and one sword is missing for the two of us. You are courting death!"

Although he was of a high generation and had great skills, he had no intention of fighting one-on-one. His lack of martial ethics was the secret of his success for a hundred years.

The bamboo sword was on the ground and he hadn't fought back yet. The four flying swords were suppressed by the two enemies and were defeated. Lupe had a blank expression on his face and moved his hand forward calmly.

With a clang, another sword came out from behind, and together with the long sword that quickly returned to the ground, six flying swords danced in the sky with sword light, and the black wind and knife shadow could not suppress it.

The five people on the ground ran quickly and had already seen the edge of the sand dune.

Huang Zifeng heard the noise and gritted his teeth:
"Master has already used all his strength to wield the six flying swords. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for too long in this state, let alone take care of us."

Xie Yuan nodded:
"Everything depends on ourselves. Let's go down first and avoid the back——"

He was stunned before he finished speaking.

Several people approached the edge of the sand dunes. After the earthquake, the sand dunes were no longer steep and undulating like cliffs, but were rounded and sunken, and the entire basin became a uniform funnel.

At the lowest point in the center of the hole, the ruins of the city have disappeared, and only the remains of the temple can be vaguely seen.

The location of the temple's main gate is right in the center of the funnel basin. There is a big hole in the ground, and the sand in the entire basin is falling down, like a real funnel, or an hourglass.

But what stunned Xie Yuan was not the scenery, but the shadow of a towering pagoda that appeared above the big cave at some point!

The pagoda is seven stories high, and its body is inlaid with colored glaze, gold, and seven-colored gems. It is magnificent and shining.

However, this pagoda was just an illusion. Xie Yuan looked at the sand mouth on the ground and inexplicably felt that the entrance should be there. The real pagoda seemed to be hanging upside down underground, and this illusion on the ground was just its symmetrical reflection.

Like an hourglass?
Xie Yuan was distracted for a moment, but when he looked back, he saw a large group of horse bandits rushing towards him.

He and Lin Zhen and the others looked at each other and saw that the four of them looked pale and hesitant.

After all, the basin was in this state now, with endless quicksand pits in the middle, and everyone was a little unsure whether they should jump in.

"Let's go! If we stay here and get caught by these bandits, we'll be dead. Let's go in and take a look. At worst, we can rush into the ruins and there's still a glimmer of hope!"

Faced with this critical situation, Xie Yuan was extremely decisive. He leaped into the funnel basin with all his might and slid down the sand dunes!

The four of them looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and jumped down together.

When the five people jumped in, the pagoda's shadow suddenly shook, and the light shone brightly, illuminating all directions.

The basin began to shake again, just like the previous aftershock.

As the ground moved, the edge of the funnel basin sank again, and the hole in the middle accelerated rapidly, falling into the dust;

Not only them, but also the horse bandits who were nearby were caught in the quicksand and suddenly slid down, uttering screams of surprise.

Lu Tianyong and other horse bandits were startled and retreated quickly, not daring to chase them.

Xie Yuan was wrapped in the sand and was dazed. He wanted to struggle to get up, steady himself, or swim upstream.

However, the suction of the quicksand was extremely strong, and he was washed down and could not return!
As they watched, the huge pit that led to nowhere was getting closer and closer. It seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, like a bottomless abyss that was about to swallow them up.

"The entrance to the ruins?"

Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Xie Yuan protected his whole body with the Golden Bell Cover, his face showing determination.

Suddenly, he felt a void beneath his body, and fell into a bottomless pit along with a large amount of quicksand.

……

The three masters in the sky saw that something strange was happening in the basin again, so they withdrew their efforts slightly and paid more attention.

The glazed pagoda shone brightly, even outshining the morning sun.

The earth dragon turned over, smoke and dust rose up, and tens of millions of tons of quicksand fell into the deep pit in the middle. However, that deep pit seemed to lead to the abyss at the center of the earth, and there was no sign of it ever being filled up.

After a while, the earthquake gradually stopped, the light from the pagoda faded, and the sun reappeared in the sky.

The old man Black Wind laughed strangely and said:
"Hehehe, this pit is more treacherous than my Black Wind! Lupe, all your followers have gone in, do you think we can get out? Hehehehe!"

Lupe looked serious and said coldly:
"I, the disciple of the Sword Sect, have great fortunes, and good people will be blessed by heaven."

"A sign from heaven? I think they were struck by a natural disaster. They don't look like lucky people."

The old man Heifeng laughed slyly and said:
"That big pit is obviously the entrance to the ruins, but the ruins have not been opened yet, and are between reality and illusion. If your disciples enter this entrance, even if they survive, they will forever be trapped between the ruins and reality, crying for their master! Maybe when we go in, we can even see your disciples' arms, legs, heads, and bodies, with half of each remaining!"

Lupe's face darkened and he stopped talking, attacking with all his strength using the six flying swords.

"Hehehe, did this irritate you? It's okay——"

Old Man Black Wind laughed wildly and said:
"I will send you to accompany your good disciple right now!"

A storm that covered the sky arose behind him. He pushed forward with both palms, and an extremely fierce black whirlwind blew out from his palms, forming a black dragon that bit towards Lupe!

Seeing this, Lu Laosan raised his saber high and chopped it down fiercely, also swinging a fierce sword light that cut through the raging sand and slashed at Lupe from behind.

Lupe was attacked from both sides and was immediately in great crisis!
He looked serious, took a deep breath, and then stomped his foot in the air.

With a clang, a green lightning flashed across the sky, and the last flying sword behind Lupe was suddenly unsheathed!

Seven flying swords danced around him in the air like lightning, like the Big Dipper, and in an instant they formed a sword formation!
When Old Man Heifeng and Old Third Lu saw this, their expressions changed slightly.

The sword formation was formed, and suddenly a sword light shone brightly into the sky. One strike forward chopped the black dragon into pieces and penetrated the black wind that protected the old man Black Wind. Another strike broke through the sword light of Old Third Lu and chopped heavily on his saber.

The two Western Desert Grandmasters groaned at the same time, having been injured!

With one slash, he injured two people. Lupe was surrounded by a sword array, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind. For a moment, he was like a real sword immortal from heaven who had descended to earth, and the bandits on the ground changed their colors.

Old man Heifeng covered his chest with his hands, blood seeping out from between his fingers.

He stared at Lupe and sneered:

"Seven flying swords, forming a sword formation, how fancy! Can you use this attack a second time?"

He said this, but a black wind was blowing around him, and his internal energy was surrounding him layer by layer, which showed that he was on high alert.

Seeing this, Lupe smiled faintly and suddenly withdrew the sword formation.

Swish, swish, swish, the flying swords returned to their sheaths one by one. He only kept one and held it in his hand.

Seeing this, Elder Heifeng and Elder Lu were stunned at first, then showed joy:

"See, you can't hold on any longer! What are you going to do with the two of us down here?"

Although the two were wounded, they were not seriously injured;
Lupe has obviously consumed a lot of energy, so it is still a question how much fighting power he has left!
"It is true that the Seven Swords cannot be used to fly into the sky."

Lupe said calmly:
"But I can still hold the sword in my hand."

Old Man Heifeng's expression changed slightly, and then he saw a sword light that was much sharper than a flying sword, quickly approaching his eyes!
A deafening collision sound was heard in the sky, like thunder rumbling in the sky.

The three great masters fought fiercely. Lupe, holding a bamboo sword, fought one against two, but he was not at a disadvantage. The green sword shadows covered half of the sky, and they were evenly matched with the black wind and the sword light!
The horse bandits underground had already moved far away and were watching the unimaginable battle in the sky from afar, with swords flashing and sabers flying, black wind and green light intersecting. They were dumbfounded, as if they were looking at gods.

It was not until half a while later that the green sword shadow finally subsided a little. Lupe, Lu Laosan and Old Man Heifeng stood facing each other in the air and couldn't help but take two breaths.

In the fierce battle, all three of them were injured. Lupe was hit in the internal organs by the black wind, and was also hit by Lu Laosan's sword from behind, breaking his defense, and his condition was greatly damaged. But the biggest problem was that he had consumed too much energy and could no longer hold on.

Old Man Heifeng and Old Third Lu were not in good condition either, but they were two people after all.

Old Man Black Wind took a breath and said with a strange laugh:
"I didn't expect a young man like you to be so difficult."

"Although your skills are high, not only are they messy, but it would be a waste if your skills were put on a cowardly old monster like you."

Lupe commented lightly.

A sinister look flashed across the face of the old man Heifeng.
"So many last words? Keep talking. The more you say, the longer I will lock you up in the Black Wind Refiner, and you will never be able to be reborn!"

"Haha, do you think you have won?"

Lupe smiled faintly.

Old Man Heifeng and Old Third Lu frowned subconsciously, and Old Third Lu couldn't help but say:

"What other tricks do you have? I see you can't even swing your sword anymore. Surrender and surrender, or you will be tortured!"

Lupe has obviously reached the end of his rope, does he have any other cards up his sleeve?
Lupe didn't answer, but slowly raised the sword.

This action instantly made the two people opposite him look at each other.

Is he going to sacrifice himself to the sword in a fatal blow?

Old Man Heifeng and Old Third Lu both became alert and subconsciously moved aside a little.

Lupe raised the sword, gradually raised it to point to the sky, and brought it in front of him.

The two Western Desert Grandmasters' faces changed drastically when they saw this. They dodged to the left and right at the same time, silently saying in their hearts:
"Die with him, not with me!"

The two of them each used their own methods and laid down layers of defense, waiting for this final sword, like the arrival of the god of death. It was unclear who would be the lucky one.

Lupe held the hilt of the sword in front of his eyes, then exerted strength on his hands and spoke calmly:
"Master, I am trapped in the ancient ruins. I am exhausted. Come quickly!"

After saying this, he lowered his sword and stroked his beard with one hand, looking like a calm and composed master.

Old Man Heifeng and Old Third Lu both paused and were stunned at the same time.

The old man Black Wind said strangely:

"Is this your last sword?"

"Not bad, what's wrong?"

Lupe said calmly.

Old Man Heifeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter:

"Yunshan is more than a thousand miles away. No matter how powerful Li Xingtuo is, can he get here in an instant? By the time he arrives, you will have been -"

His laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes instantly revealed disbelief.

In his eyes, there was a shadow constantly flickering in the eastern sky. Every time it flashed, it left an afterimage, and when it appeared again, it was already several miles away!

In just a moment, the shadow flashed quickly from the horizon to the front, and the initial shadow gradually dissipated, leaving behind his entire trajectory, and appeared in the sky at the same time!

The sword of fleeting light!
The old man Black Wind's expression changed drastically. He looked at the white-haired young man who appeared beside Lupe, stretched out his finger, and pointed at him tremblingly:
"H-How could you be so fast?"

Before Li Xingtuo could answer, Lupe said calmly:
"Our sect leader is as fleeting as a flash of light, and can travel a thousand miles in a breath. Why not?"

Old man Heifeng's face was pale. Li Xingtuo was so strong that he was right in front of him. Even if he was in his prime, he would not be able to run away, let alone now that he was half-crippled.

Li Xingtuo smiled helplessly and shook his head:

"Brother, please stop lying. Who told you that I was definitely in Yunshan?"

Old Man Heifeng and Old Third Lu were stunned, and then they realized that they had been tricked by Lu Pei. It turned out that Li Xingtuo was also nearby, and might be waiting at Hulu Pass.

However, even if Li Xingtuo did not have the ability to travel a thousand miles in one breath, he was already in front of them. How could the two of them survive?

The Yunshan Sword Sect has always liked to be the guardian of morality.

Lu Lao San's face turned red and white, and he couldn't help but say:
"Master Li, I want to use the information in this ancient ruins in exchange for my life. How do you think?"

Li Xingtuo glanced and saw the basin and the phantom of the pagoda past the two of them.

The discovery of ancient relics is a big event, and each time it causes bloodshed. Even if you manage to get an entrance ticket, you will be left in the dark and often suffer heavy casualties.

If intelligence had been obtained in advance, perhaps many sacrifices could have been avoided.

However, Li Xingtuo glanced at Lu Laosan and shook his head:
"If I let you go, how many more people will die at your hands?"

When Lu Laosan heard this, his face turned pale.

Old Man Black Wind was gritting his teeth, feeling jealous, but was stunned when he heard this, then laughed:

"Little Sanzi, it looks like you can't escape today! Let's die together, die together!"

After he said that, he raised his palm, asking Lu Laosan to join forces to fight against Li Xingtuo.

Li Xingtuo's face was calm. He raised his hand slightly, grasped the hilt of the sword, drew the sword and slashed.

However, he did not slash at the two people in front of him, but at the sky!

A large golden palm came over and collided with the long sword, making a ding sound, and then they separated.

That big palm was as hard as Li Xingtuo's sword!
Lupe's brows suddenly frowned, and Old Man Heifeng and Old Third Lu's expressions also changed.

"King Ming!"

A tall and fat lama with his chest and breasts exposed appeared. He was emitting a faint golden light, like a pure gold Buddha statue. He raised one hand and chanted in a low voice.

"Master Li, why did you come to my Western Region to start a war?"

"Is the Western Desert also considered as your Western Territory?"

Li Xingtuo frowned when he saw the Lama.

The reason why he did not set foot in the Western Desert before and waited at Hulu Pass was because with his cultivation level infinitely close to the state of unity, once he appeared within a certain range, he would attract the attention of equally powerful people.

The lama in front of him, the Mingwang of the Western Regions, is a powerful person at the same level as him.

"Of course."

Ming Wang had kind eyes, a fat head and big ears, and a smiling face, like a middle-aged enlightened monk, but his words were very domineering.

Li Xingtuo sneered:
"It's only because the King of Pingxi is gone, otherwise how could you and your gang be allowed to revive?"

"Good, good, donor Xue has committed murder in vain, bringing disaster to the lives of the people in the Western Regions. He deserves to go to Avici Hell."

The Ming Wang chanted the Buddha's name, lowered his brows and eyes, and turned his rosary beads.

Li Xingtuo frowned. Although he was not afraid of the Ming King, he did not dare to guarantee victory.

The fact that Western Region warriors are not included in the top three does not mean that their warriors are weak. The exception is the Grandmaster. This Western Region Ming Wang is one of the strongest in the Western Regions. He has few rivals in the entire West, is worshipped by tens of thousands of people, and has an invincible golden body. He must be a strong enemy.

Although Li Xingtuo wanted to have a good fight with him, he knew it was not the right time after looking at the pagoda.

The emergence of the ancient relics has caused such a big fuss. Everything that should and shouldn’t come is already on the way.

really--

After only a brief standoff, many powerful figures appeared on the horizon.

Looking at the shadows approaching quickly, Li Xingtuo laughed:
"It hasn't been this lively for a long time."

"You make it lively when you use glimpses."

Lupe stroked his beard and said calmly.

Old Third Lu looked at the masters everywhere, each of whom was stronger than him. A bitter look appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth secretly.

"According to the stone tablet, the second time it is opened, there should only be a sign of light in the pagoda, and the third time there will be an earthquake. How could this be possible?

"It must be that bastard Xie Yuan who caused the change. He was hiding well, but now there's an earthquake and everyone knows about it!"

This time, he definitely doesn’t have the final say over the ancient ruins. I’m afraid he won’t even be able to drink the soup…

Old Third Lu gritted his teeth and cursed Xie Yuan eight hundred times in his heart. He didn't know where this guy had gone, at best he had died in the yellow sand.
