Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

Instead, it flew straight past him.

The longsword flew and struck Zhang Lu, who was chasing him from behind.

"Qingyue! What are you doing!"

Zhang Lu was caught off guard and startled!

At first, when he saw Qingyue flying from the opposite side, he thought she was there to intercept Li Ping'an for him.

But to everyone's surprise, Qingyue was there to help Li Ping'an.

So, without paying attention, he almost got hit by Qingyue's sword.

He quickly dodged and weaved, barely managing to avoid the sword strike.

He couldn't help but fly into a rage and burst into a tirade:

"Qingyue, you're insane! Li Ping'an is a remnant of the demon race! You're helping him instead of me!"

At that moment, Li Ping'an, who was fleeing, was stunned by what he saw. He stood there, at a loss for what to do.

Qingyue actually came to help him!

Qingyue, that aloof senior sister, a disciple with extraordinary talent.

He was actually willing to fight against the top senior disciple of the inner sect for him!

For a moment, Li Ping'an was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.

He had always treated Qingyue as a tool.

Although Qingyue would occasionally bestow upon him many magical treasures.

However, Li Ping'an remained wary of Qingyue.

After all, the other party was a high-ranking inner disciple, while he was just a useless old servant.

Therefore, Li Ping'an always remained vigilant.

I dare not consider him a true friend.

He was afraid that one day Qingyue might kill him with a sword if she was unhappy.

After all, this kind of thing happens frequently in sects.

However, at this moment, he saw Qingyue actually fighting against Zhang Lu for his sake.

In an instant, a feeling of emotion welled up in Li Ping'an's heart.

From this moment on, Qingyue is Li Ping'an's true friend!

Qingyue remained silent in the face of Zhang Lu's rebuke.

But then he swung his sword again.

Enraged, Zhang Lu dodged the attack with his sword and angrily rebuked.

"Qingyue! If you lay a hand on me again, don't blame me for being impolite! Don't think that just because you're Wuchen's inner disciple I won't dare to lay a hand on you!"

Qingyue ignored him and continued her attacks with sword strike after sword strike.

As she turned around, she saw Li Ping'an still standing there, stunned.

She couldn't help but show her anger on her face.

"Why aren't you leaving? What are you still doing here? Are you trying to be a burden to me?"

Hearing Qingyue's rebuke, Li Ping'an finally snapped out of his shock.

With Qingyue holding Zhang Lu back, Zhang Lu won't be able to do anything to her for the time being.

I should be able to escape now.

"Thank you so much, Junior Sister! I will never forget this great kindness!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here! Never come back!"

"Alright!"

Without hesitation, Li Ping'an immediately took out a Swiftness Talisman and stuck it on his thigh.

Then it tried its best to flee into the distance.

"You dare to run away!"

Seeing Li Ping'an escape, Zhang Lu panicked and was about to give chase.

But then a sharp, long sword appeared before him, lying across his path.

Qingyue came up to stop them again.

"Qingyue! Fine! Since that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to treat you as a remnant of the demon race!"

Seeing that Li Ping'an was getting further and further away, Zhang Lu immediately stopped holding back.

"Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

He no longer showed Qingyue any courtesy, and with his longsword flying, he began a fierce counterattack.

His counterattack caught Qingyue off guard.

Although Qingyue is exceptionally talented and cultivates at an extremely fast pace.

However, it is only the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Zhang Lu, on the other hand, is a genuine mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Their strength and resources far surpass those of Qingyue.

With this sword strike, Qingyue's body was forced back repeatedly, and she was killed and fell flat on her face.

Before she could react, Zhang Lu's sword energy slashed down again.

In her haste, Qingyue drew her sword to defend herself, and her figure was forced back several steps again.

At the same time, his blood and qi surged, and his little face turned bright red.

Zhang Lu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him coldly.

"You think your extraordinary talent makes you my match? If you dare to obstruct me again, believe me, I'll kill you with a single sword strike!"

As he spoke, Zhang Lu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He believed that after such a threat, Qingyue would obediently run away.

Unexpectedly, Qingyue's small eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

With a flick of his longsword, he blocked Zhang Lu's path.

"Since that's the case, then go and die!"

Zhang Lu stopped wasting words and continued his fierce attack.

Now he held nothing back, every move filled with killing intent.

In an instant, Qingyue was in grave danger.

He was almost hit by Zhang Lu's knife several times.

Fortunately, he possessed a great many magical treasures and artifacts.

Every time a critical moment came, he would pull out a magical artifact to resolve the crisis.

"Damn it! How many magical treasures did Uncle-Master Wuchen give you?!"

Zhang Lu attacked while simultaneously cursing.

At the same time, the offensive became even more intense.

On the other side, Li Ping'an was fleeing frantically and had gradually escaped the territory of the Tongtian Sword Sect.

As he ran, Li Ping'an planned his escape.

First of all, I need to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible. This battle between good and evil has drawn me into too many things, and I am just an ant. I should get away from it quickly.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Li Ping'an understands this principle.

After we get down the mountain, we'll go to the market to pick up Lanzhi.

If he wants to leave, then take him with you.

If he refuses, help him suck out the last bit of toxins.

It would be better for me to become a wandering cultivator again.

It's better than being trapped in the Tongtian Sword Sect, where you're bound to die sooner or later.

As he ran, Li Ping'an couldn't help but start to worry about Qingyue again.

I wonder if that girl can beat Senior Brother Zhang.

If I remember correctly, he was only at the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Zhang Lu was a Foundation Establishment Level 6 cultivator, a difference of three major realms between the two.

Although Qingyue was also an inner disciple, Zhang Lu had a quirky and violent personality.

They might actually try to kill Qingyue.

As Li Ping'an ran, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

If Qingyue were to die at Zhang Lu's hands in an attempt to save herself.

Then Li Ping'an will never have peace of mind for the rest of his life.

The more Li Ping'an ran, the heavier his steps became.

The more I ran, the heavier it became.

In the end, Li Ping'an actually stopped.

He looked back into the vast distance, where Zhang Lu and Qingyue had fought.

Now you can't even see the person anymore.

But he could almost see Qingyue struggling under Zhang Lu's longsword attacks.

No! I can't just leave like this!

In the end, Li Ping'an made a tough decision.

Qingyue fought Zhang Lu to save him, and he escaped with a clear conscience.

Is Li Ping'an even human then?

If someone treats him with respect, Li Ping'an will repay them tenfold!

Besides, with him and Qingyue together, they might actually be able to fight Zhang Lu!

With that thought in mind, Li Ping'an no longer hesitated.

He immediately pulled out a large piece of elm wood from the package.

In this critical moment, he decided to first create a thousand generals.

This can increase the chances of winning in crucial moments.

Take out the elm wood and follow the production method described in the "Qimen Liujia Jue".

In no time at all, Li Ping'an had created a chubby general.

However, this is a poorly made Qianjiang, much worse in quality than the ones he made in Shandong before.

However, as long as it can withstand a few attacks, that's fine.

"Let's go! General! We're going to rescue Qingyue!"

Immediately, Li Ping'an ran back without stopping.

On the other side, Qingyue was forced to retreat under Zhang Lu's fierce offensive.
