After all, Mu Hongxiu has an earth-level forging method in her hand, "Blue Sky Thunder and Fire".
Lu Li didn't know how powerful this forging method was, but the sword he made from the half-step spirit weapon he obtained from the treasury of Prince Yan's Mansion was extremely easy to use.
If you want to find someone to deal with the divine crystal, among the people you know, Mu Hongxiu seems to be the most reliable.
After much deliberation, Lu Li decided to mention this matter to Mu Hongxiu when he leaves the Imperial Capital tomorrow.
The top priority now is to develop the secret sword first and create more ways to fight the enemy.
As for how to take the path of 'sword' to the extreme...
"Let's take it one step at a time. If the true meaning of martial arts is the cornerstone of a powerful Dao-level person, it would be a bit too early for me to think about it now."
Lu Li shook his head and drove this thought out of his mind.
…
Deep in the old street.
Mrs. Lu looked at the sleeping girl in black, her eyes full of doting and love, stretched out her hand to gently tuck the quilt for her, and murmured: "It seems it's time for us to leave."
When the girl in black was sleeping, her delicate little face became less cold and looked much softer, as beautiful as a painting.
But Mrs. Lu's eyebrows were full of worry. Because the two countries were at war, the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven was not the safest hiding place for them.
Especially because the girl in black has a special status. If she continues to stay here, she will inevitably be noticed by interested people. When the long sword is about to be completed, Mrs. Lu does not want to take any risks.
Therefore, she decided to leave here as soon as possible and move to a safer place to live in seclusion.
After taking a deep look at the sleeping girl in black, Mrs. Lu left her residence and came to the long street.
The old street in the dark is desolate, especially since various major events have happened one after another recently, coupled with the departure of shopkeeper Jing, making this long street even more desolate.
Mrs. Lu was walking along the long street when a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Mrs. Lu, it's so late, where are you going?"
She paused slightly, turned around, saw the young man holding the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Go and meet the old man."
The young man sighed and said, "Madam, can you play a game of chess with Lu?"
Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed and her smile gradually faded: "Lu Xianzhi, do you want to stop me?"
"Lu doesn't dare."
"It's just... if Madam leaves like this, there will be no peace in the old street in the future."
A young man named Lu Xianzhi threw the chessboard, hovered in the void, and reached out to guide it: "If Madam beats Lu, Lu will naturally not stop her anymore."
The moment the chessboard stopped in the void, Mrs. Lu felt that the surrounding space was blocked, and all she could see were dotted lines.
Those dotted lines formed a big chessboard, containing the entire old street, blocking all her escape routes.
"Zhenlong's Formation?" Mrs. Lu pursed her red lips and shook her head: "This can't trap me."
"What if you add me?"
Before he finished speaking, a rough man with a hammer came out from the other side.
He is a blacksmith from Laojie.
In the blacksmith shop, which had never had any customers, there was often the sound of tinkling, but none of the residents on the street had seen him make any finished product.
Even so, Mrs. Lu, who has lived in the old street for some years, also knows how terrifying and powerful this blacksmith is.
"Xiang Rong, are you... going to stop me?"
Mrs. Lu sighed: "Have you ever asked the elderly if you do this?"
"Residents in the old street have the right to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
The blacksmith named Xiang Rong hummed: "If you are allowed to leave like this, the old street will cease to exist."
"Jing Chi can leave, why can't I?"
Mrs. Lu's voice was a little hoarse. She was first trapped in the Zhenlong Formation by Lu Xianzhi, and then faced Xiang Rong. At this moment, she had to use up all her energy to deal with the oppression brought by the two of them.
"Shopkeeper Jing left for revenge and narrowly escaped death. Moreover, he did not leave the old street."
"Madam left this time just to avoid trouble. This is tantamount to breaking the rules of the old street."
The hammer in Xiang Rong's hand gradually turned red, the temperature increased, and the surrounding vision began to distort.
"The old street is just a bunch of lonely ghosts, but we still have to follow the rules? Apart from you, is there anyone who stands up to stop me tonight?"
Mrs. Lu raised her lips and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Don't you think it's ridiculous to say such high-sounding words? It's just for the sake of rules, but it's just for stability. Because you know very well that once I Once you leave Laojie, you will never have peace from now on."
"Am I right, Lu Xianzhi?"
"Or should I call you... Holy Son Zhenlong?"
After Mrs. Lu revealed his identity, Lu Xianzhi looked helpless and said apologetically: "Madam, we are indeed all lonely ghosts. Fortunately, the old man is willing to shelter us from the wind and rain, so we have this shelter. Are you really Do you want to break it?"
"You want stability, but you have never thought about how long you can be stable once the old man is gone?"
Mrs. Lu looked at Xiang Rong: "Have you forgotten why you entered the old street back then? Lu Xianzhi offended Zhenlong Holy Land, and he didn't have the courage like Jing Chi. I'm not surprised that he would do this, but you... why is it your turn? To such a situation?"
"Mrs. Lu, there is no need to say more."
Xiang Rong said expressionlessly: "Go back now, we can pretend that nothing happened."
"If you insist on going, you might as well pass the test between the two of us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Rong waved the red-hot hammer in his hand, drawing a red arc in the air. With a bang, the hammer hit the ground, cracking the ground, and the gravel instantly dissolved into magma. A magma fire dragon several feet long was pulled out from the ground by Xiang Rong, lifelike and like a living creature!
"In that case... then let me try the power of the hammer!"
Mrs. Lu pointed her finger, and ripples like water waves immediately appeared in the void. The blazing heat emitted by the magma fire dragon seemed to be completely isolated by this ripple.
"It's the magical power of the Deer Clan, Mirror Flower, Water Moon!"
Lu Xianzhi shouted, twirling his fingers, and a chess piece composed entirely of spiritual energy was thrown out by him and fell between the dotted lines between heaven and earth.
As soon as the aura chess piece was released, it quickly enlarged to the size of a house and crashed onto the long street!
The Zhenlong Formation was activated by this chess piece, and the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth was disrupted. As the wind roared, the ripples in front of Mrs. Lu were filled with cracks, and they were like a mirror.
"It's just a little trick!"
Xiang Rong shouted, swinging the hammer, and the magma fire dragon rushed towards Madam Deer with its teeth and claws.
Click!
Jing Hua Shui Yue was shattered on the spot.
Mrs. Deer's figure has disappeared.
"A blind trick?"
Xiang Rong frowned, and his spiritual thoughts swept around.
However, Lu Xianzhi shook his head and said: "The Zhenlong Formation has been activated. No matter how strong Mrs. Lu is, she will not be able to jump out of the formation silently. She... must still be in the formation!"
Immediately, Lu Xianzhi seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Block the spiritual thoughts! We have been affected by her magical power!"
After saying that, Lu Xianzhi closed his eyes, and instantly withdrew his outgoing spiritual thoughts, only sensing a range of ten steps around him.
Seeing this, Xiang Rong did as he was told.
A crack suddenly appeared around the two people. After a click, the surrounding scenes suddenly shattered and fell one after another.
"As expected of Holy Son Zhenlong, I can't hide it from your eyes with my little tricks."
Mrs. Lu's voice sounded from all directions, vague and uncertain: "But now you are trapped in my mirror, the mirror, the moon, and the moon. The next step is to compete with who has better patience..."
"Mrs. Lu, the Zhenlong Formation is not only used to trap people."
Lu Xianzhi closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings with his spiritual mind, in order to avoid Mrs. Lu's sudden attack.
But he still persuaded: "If Lu changes the Zhenlong Formation to the Killing Formation... Mrs. Lu, you should know its power."
"OK."
Madam Lu's voice was still vague and uncertain, "If you activate the Zhenlong Formation, you may have alerted others. If you change the Killing Formation again, the old man will never sit idly by and ignore it."
"Mrs. Deer!"
Xiang Rong also closed his eyes tightly and said in a deep voice: "No one has stepped forward to help you until now. Don't you still know the old man's attitude?"
