Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 281 Persuading Gai Nie to Kill the Six Sword Slaves

Thanks to the protection of Leng Feibai's clone, both Master Ban's Mo family's mechanical diagram and the Mo family's central pool remained intact without any accidents.

As for outside the city, Gongshu Chou found it extremely difficult to attack the mechanical city because he did not obtain the map of the mechanism.

Left with no other choice, Gongshu Chou could only summon several Broken Earth Saber and mechanical bats, attempting to breach the mechanical city through a brute-force attack.

Hidden in the shadows of the city, Leng Feibai took a bite of a peach and coldly watched Potu Sanlang confront Baihu.

Then, Saburo, whose entire body was made of eight pieces of refined steel and resembled a pangolin, leaped into the air. The sharp blade protruding from his back pressed directly against the abdomen of the mechanical White Tiger, almost injuring the two pilots hidden underneath.

The two Mohist disciples piloting the White Tiger were instantly terrified, their faces turning ashen, and they steered the mechanical White Tiger back.

"I must say, this pangolin's attack power is actually quite good."

Leng Feibai muttered to himself, "Especially since it doesn't require a driver to operate, it's far superior to the Mo family's mechanical White Tiger."

Seeing the mechanical white tiger retreat, Saburo instantly transformed back into a spiral shape and charged towards the walls of the mechanical city, intending to take the opportunity to smash down the gates of the mechanical city.

On the city wall, several Mohist leaders looked at the situation below and were extremely anxious.

"Damn it!"

Big Hammer cursed, "This damn thing is so hard to deal with! Old Man Ban, is there any way to get rid of it?"

"Po Tu San Lang is indestructible and was the weapon that helped the Qin state conquer the six states back then."

Master Ban stroked his long beard, a look of annoyance flashing in his eyes. "This thing is made entirely of refined steel; it's no ordinary object..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden gust of wind arose, and in an instant, the once clear sky was covered with dark clouds.

People inside and outside the city looked at the suddenly changed sky, and their expressions varied.

If a torrential rain were to fall at this moment, it could have a significant impact on the battlefield situation.

Then, lightning flashed across the sky, and countless azure lightning bolts descended from the heavens, all striking the besieging Saburo and the mechanical flying bats.

In an instant, both the ground-based Saburo and the mechanical bat in the sky were struck by lightning, sparks flying everywhere, strange crackling sounds emanating from their bodies, and countless mechanical parts scattered and collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Master Ban's face showed a strange expression, and then he sighed and said, "Whether it's non-offensive mechanisms or domineering mechanisms, it's difficult to withstand the power of heaven and earth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds dispersed and the thunder stopped, and the sky instantly returned to its clear and sunny state.

Everyone who saw this was incredulous.

Big Hammer rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "How could this be? Could it be that God took pity on us and stepped in to help us?"

As soon as Big Hammer finished speaking, a strange laugh came from behind them.

"Heh! It wasn't fate that intervened, it was me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai and Gai Nie arrived in front of the group of Mohist leaders.

An hour earlier, Gai Nie closed his eyes and quietly stayed in the mountain room where the Mo family had placed him.

As Ying Zheng's chief bodyguard, Gai Nie was well aware of how many people would reject him here because of his previous identity.

So during this period, he basically stayed indoors in the mountains and rarely went out.

"May I come inside?"

Hearing the sounds outside, Gai Nie frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and said, "Please come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai, disguised, entered the stone chamber.

"It's you!"

Gai Nie raised his hand and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "I wonder what brings Daoist Qingyang to see me?"

Leng Feibai sighed and asked, "Did you kill Jing Ke?"

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie's body stiffened, but he remained silent.

"He was determined to die at the time, how could I not know that!"

Leng Feibai sighed and said, "Mr. Gai, I only have one question for you. Did he suffer when he died?"

Gai Nie shook his head and then said, "I once advised him not to assassinate Ying Zheng."

"He can't possibly listen!"

Leng Feibai sighed and said, "The hatred of having one's wife stolen is one of the two greatest hatreds in the world, alongside the hatred of killing one's father. It is not something that can be easily let go of."

After saying that, Leng Feibai continued talking to Gai Nie, saying, "I don't want to waste my breath on you, Mr. Gai. You should know that the ultimate goal of sending your junior brother to cause trouble in the Mechanized City is to fight you. You keep avoiding battle, but that won't solve the problem."

Gai Nie closed his eyes tightly after hearing this, and then said, "Xiao Zhuang has always wanted to become the next Master Guigu, but he can't possibly be my match. I don't want to hurt him either!"

"I know you feel sorry for your junior brother, Mr. Gai, but running away is not the solution!"

Leng Feibai calmly said, "Wei Zhuang's obsession with you is too strong; over time, it will inevitably become a mental demon. You are also a martial arts master; you know what a mental demon means!"

Although Gai Nie's expression didn't change drastically after hearing this, Leng Feibai could sense that his heart was pounding wildly.

Seeing this, Leng Feibai stopped wasting words and said directly, "Although my master is no longer here, I am 80% confident that I can dispel the sealing curse on Tianming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gai Nie's eyes snapped open.

"really!"

"I will never lie unless absolutely necessary!"

Leng Feibai laughed, "Besides, Jing Ke and I are good drinking buddies. His son was harmed by the Yin-Yang School, so naturally I should help him."

"All right!"

Gai Nie stood up and stretched, "I hope you won't deceive me!"

Leng Feibai breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Gai Nie get up.

But at that moment, one of the clones sent some not-so-good news.

"The main body has encountered a small problem. Tianming and the other two are missing!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Feibai's expression remained unchanged, but deep down he was taken aback.

If he remembered correctly, at this time, those three little things should be at Master Xu's sword-forging site.

It wasn't until the city of the mechanical city was breached the next day that the three of them were sent into the forbidden area of ​​the Mo family by Duanmu Rong.

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Leng Feibai's eyes, and a pale blue light emanated from them in an instant.

Suppressing Spirit Technique: Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing
In an instant, everything within a radius of five hundred miles centered on him entered his perception.

Soon, Leng Feibai was surprised to find that Jing Tianming and the other two had somehow entered the Mo family's forbidden area ahead of time.

At that moment, a woman who was extremely familiar to Leng Feibai also entered his perception.

"It's the butterfly effect again!"

Leng Feibai cursed inwardly in anger. He never expected that his commotion would lead to the Moon Goddess arriving ahead of schedule.

However, the woman is still outside the city and has not entered the mechanical city.

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai directly gave orders to his three clones in the Mechanized City, one of whom was to infiltrate the forbidden area and find an opportunity to take the Illusionary Sound Box.

The remaining two searched the city thoroughly, dealing with any Yin-Yang School members they encountered on the spot.

......................................................

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"

Upon seeing Gai Nie arrive, Gao Jianli's face turned ashen. He stepped forward and said, "Or is it that you, Ying Zheng's lackey, are finally planning to take action?"

Upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, Leng Feibai felt inexplicably irritated and shot out a small burst of energy the size of a soybean, striking Gao Jianli.

"Ok!"

Gao Jianli let out a muffled groan and was sent flying.

"Arrogance must be backed by real strength!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "Gao Jianli, I'll just say one thing. If Gai Nie is truly Ying Zheng's man, who in your Mo family can withstand a single sword strike from him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Mohist leaders instantly turned ugly.

“Fei Bai!”

Ji Yan reprimanded, "Don't be impolite!"

"understood!"

Leng Feibai snorted coldly, turned to Gai Nie and said, "Wei Zhuang and the Liu Sha men are yours, the rest I'll deal with." As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yan immediately understood their plan and quickly stopped them, saying, "You're planning to leave the city to fight off the enemy? No, it's too dangerous!"

"I know Xiao Zhuang!"

Gai Nie said in a deep voice, "Xiao Zhuang is determined to settle things with me and will absolutely not allow anyone else to interfere in our match. Only..."

"Do not worry!"

Leng Feibai said confidently, "Whether it's the Qin army or the assassins from the Luo Wang, if they dare to disrupt your competition, they should be prepared to be buried here."

After saying that, Leng Feibai pulled Gai Nie and prepared to leave the city to repel the enemy.

"Stay!"

Big Iron Hammer suddenly blocked the two of them, looking at Leng Feibai with a serious expression and said, "Ji Feibai, there is one thing I must ask you clearly: why didn't you return when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai remained unchanged. He sighed, turned to Ji Yan, and said, "Brother, do you still remember the question I asked Prince Dan of Yan back then?"

Ji Yan was slightly taken aback after hearing this, then nodded and said, "I remember you asked Ji Dan what he should do if the Yan Kingdom were to conquer the Qin Kingdom one day!"

"Yes! What should he do!"

Leng Feibai sneered, "He actually said that he would return the lost territory to Han and Zhao and live in harmony with the other states."

Everyone was stunned when those words were spoken.

Dao Zhi chuckled, "What's wrong with that?"

"hehe!"

Leng Feibai looked up and said, "Ever since King Ping of Zhou moved the capital east to Luoyi, the various feudal lords have ruled independently. Wars have been rampant, and the common people have suffered greatly from the ravages of war. Now, fellow members of the Mohist school, do you understand why I left the State of Yan?"

The stoic and composed Master Ban had already guessed what Leng Feibai meant from his words. He stroked his beard and said, "You want to unify the world and end the war?"

"That's it!"

Leng Feibai sighed, "If Yan Dan had had this intention back then, I wouldn't have hesitated to help him conquer the world. But that guy chose a different path."

Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their fists, and Big Hammer roared, "But this situation is exactly what you wanted!"

"The situation in the Yan Kingdom back then was several times better than it is now!"

Leng Feibai retorted loudly, "Do I need to remind you how those nobles of Yan trampled on the common people back then!"

These words immediately silenced the leaders who came from the State of Yan.

After all, those nobles of the Yan state back then were truly inhuman.

"Besides, overthrowing one dynasty is much easier than overthrowing a group of dynasties!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he turned to Gai Nie and said, "Mr. Gai, let's go!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai ignored the people around him, grabbed Gai Nie, and vanished into nothingness.

The next moment, the two appeared directly on the open ground outside the mechanical city.

"Wei Zhuang, Gai Nie is here!"

Leng Feibai channeled his inner energy and amplified his voice, which traveled far away like a sound wave.

In a short while, countless Qin soldiers, the Six Sword Slaves, and people from the quicksand appeared one by one outside the mechanical city.

Leng Feibai coldly stared at the crowd rushing out, and sneered, "What, even the Six Sword Slaves of the Luo Net have come. Didn't that bastard Zhao Gao come?"

"Be bold!"

Zhen Gang, the leader of the Six Sword Slaves, shouted sternly, "Nameless thief, stop spouting nonsense here. Today is your death day."

After saying that, Zhen Gang was about to lead his men forward, but Wei Zhuang stopped him with his sword.

"what are you doing?"

Zhen Gang turned and glared at Wei Zhuang, who sneered, "Gai Nie is mine. As for that kid, if he's not afraid of death, then he should provoke him."

"Humph"

Zhen Gang snorted coldly, ignoring Wei Zhuang's words, already considering whether to take advantage of the situation after the mission to eliminate the members of Quicksand.

"What, you're too scared to make a move!"

Leng Feibai took a dozen steps forward, putting distance between himself and Gai Nie, and continued to provoke him, "As expected, you've fallen into the trap and become Zhao Gao's slaves. You lot have probably lost even the self-respect of a swordsman!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the six sword slaves were enraged and rushed out, surrounding Leng Feibai with their weapons in hand.

"coming!"

Leng Feibai looked at the six people around him, his eyes filled with excitement.

Each of the Six Sword Slaves was a top-tier master in the martial arts world.

The six of them working together could fight Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang simultaneously, but against themselves...

Seeing Leng Feibai's unmoved expression, the Six Sword Slaves exchanged a glance and transformed into streaks of light, rushing straight towards Leng Feibai.

"boom"

Six golden bells descended from the sky, instantly trapping the six sword slaves within them.

"what happened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword at the golden bell, but was instead struck so hard that his hand went numb.

The sword struck the bell wall, and the resulting ringing sound made him dizzy.

Leng Feibai remained silent, and immediately released his pale blue true qi.

"what"

The six sword slaves let out a wail, feeling their inner energy being completely depleted, like a river bursting its banks.

"Die!"

Leng Feibai felt the six streams of true energy merging into his body, then snapped his fingers.

The six sword slaves inside the golden bell exploded and died on the spot, leaving only their longswords behind to prove that they had ever existed.

"Qin soldiers!"

Leng Feibai suddenly shouted, "I'm giving you a chance. Retreat quickly. Otherwise, prepare to be buried here."

Upon hearing this, the bandit Zhi on the city wall exclaimed in surprise, "Has he gone mad?!"

The others also looked surprised, but Ji Yan and Big Iron Hammer showed no signs of worry.

They both knew perfectly well that a thousand troops were nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of Leng Feibai.

As expected, upon hearing Leng Feibai's words, the Qin soldiers' faces showed anger.

The leader immediately ordered, "Everyone, attack! Kill this kid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin soldiers pounced on Leng Feibai like hungry wolves.

"court death!"

Leng Feibai's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he moved his feet slightly.

Five Elements Mimicry: A Thousand Transformations

In an instant, the ground trembled, and colorful true qi burst forth, transforming into swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks in mid-air, charging towards the Qin army that was rushing towards them.

"what!"

The Qin general was greatly alarmed upon seeing this, but before he could give the order to defend, he did not.

The weapon formed entirely of true qi had already rushed in front of him.

"what!"

Screams erupted as Qin soldiers who came into contact with weapons imbued with true qi were cleaved in two like wheat in autumn, filling the battlefield with a bloody stench that was too painful to behold.

Whether it was the Mohist leader on the city wall or the people of the Quicksand, they all showed surprise.

"hehe!"

Leng Feibai chuckled, snapped his fingers, and the corpse on the ground instantly burst into flames, turning to ashes in a flash.
