The old man carrying the sword left Tianjian Peak and came from Luzhou in the western border of Wu Zhou to Yuezhou in the eastern border, traveling thousands of miles just to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
He didn't find the opportunity, but by chance he founded the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
If you think about it carefully, it's quite strange.
Yuezhou is too far away from Luzhou, and it is difficult to convince people with the reason of just having an opportunity. It would be more appropriate to say that the Tianjian Sect has opened a branch to integrate the sword-cultivating forces of the Iron Sword League around Yuezhou.
In the past, everyone thought so, but now...
This is not a branch at all. It is obvious that the old man carrying the sword is not optimistic about Qing Qian's rebellion, so he left Luzhou and founded the Lingxiao Sword Sect, leaving a legacy for the Tianjian Sect.
So, we must help.
Seven were at the Fusion Stage, forty were at the Refinement Void Stage, all of them were conservatives in the Tianjian Sect and diehard fans of the Immortal Sword Master Qi Lijing. They recognized the good intentions of the old man carrying the sword and were ready to lend a hand to the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
But you have to think carefully about when to take action.
"The Huangji Sect has made a big move to blockade the entire Yuezhou region and has mobilized so many core forces. It is impossible that there is only one great elder, Lu Zhou. There is no benefit in helping him at this moment."
Wang Yan shook his head and stared at the Beijun Mountain Protective Array: "Lingxiao Sword Sect can still hold on for a while, why not wait a little longer? The first task is to find a great master who practices the Immortal Sword Intent. Only by finding him can we drive the remnants of Qingqian out of Tianjian Peak, otherwise everything will be in vain."
"That's true, but the Huangji Sect has come to attack him, why hasn't he taken action yet?"
"The Immortal Sword Intention is of great importance, maybe he doesn't want to expose it too early!"
"Then..."
"Hold your sword and wait a little longer. I don't believe he won't come out."
boom!!!
The sword light rolled up, the hurricane broke through, in mid-air, the sword and the knife collided, the sound was loud and deafening, and the light of the collision was sharp and fierce.
Lu Zhou roared like a tiger, raised his hand to block the giant sword falling from mid-air, raised his shoulder to block it, and with his other hand he raised the sword, chopped off the sonic boom like a tiger's roar and a dragon's roar, and with a clang it embedded into the giant sword's blade.
Snap!
The cracks spread, and cracks appeared on the surface of the illusory giant sword, spreading all the way down, affecting most of the sword body.
Lu Zhou was under the sword, and the contrast in size made him look like an ant challenging an elephant. From a distance, the mad knife in his hand was only the size of a toothpick.
However, the blade's light was heavy and sharp, like an ant trying to shake a tree, and every strike made the tree shake.
"Break it for me!"
Lu Zhou placed the giant sword on his shoulder, gripped the hilt with both hands, and shouted softly as he tensed all the muscles in his body. He raised his arms with all his strength, and the blade went straight up like a broken bamboo, releasing a thousand-meter-long sword energy that manifested as a huge crescent-shaped light.
With a crisp sound, the giant sword broke into two pieces. The front part flew into the air and turned into powder, while the back part cracked rapidly, breaking into pieces one by one, leaving only the useless hilt.
The inner and outer parts of the mountain protection formation were in perfect harmony, the outer formation was for attack, and the inner formation was for defense. After this blow, the outer formation was unable to continue, and the inner formation was completely exposed to Lu Zhou.
After breaking through the outer formation, Lu Zhou couldn't help but tremble a little, his eyes fixed on the position of the gate of the formation.
According to reliable intelligence, Lin Buyan hosted the two elders in Zhanchi County, Dong'an County, which is the heartland of the Huangji Sect, showing his sincerity. Moreover, Lin Buyan has always been playing cozy with the Tianjian Sect, and is a typical fence-sitter. He is unlikely to kill the two elders because he is able to please both sides.
Even if he really did it, he wouldn't be so blatant and provocative, almost like a slap in the face.
This is not taking sides, this is seeking death.
The real murderer is someone else, who puts the blame on Lin Buyan, cutting off Lingxiao Sword Sect's retreat and options, and making them act as the vanguard against Huangji Sect.
It can also be said to be cannon fodder.
Everyone understands the truth, and the Huangji Sect also knows that Lin Buyan is wronged, but so what, just understanding the truth is useless. Yuezhou's terrain is too important, and Lingxiao Sword Sect is far away from Tianjian Sect. It is such a good opportunity, why not take it down, establish prestige while removing a thorn in the eye.
It’s all Lin Buyan’s fault that he has such a great reputation in Yuezhou, and it’s also Lin Buyan’s fault that he is not strong enough, so Lingxiao Sword Sect has gained a status in the martial arts world that it doesn’t deserve.
If virtue does not match one's position, disaster will surely occur.
Reality doesn’t tell you any profound truths. Whether it is true or false, reality is just like this.
Lu Zhou stood in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the gate. Through the dense array of formations, he looked at the shadow of the main peak of Beijun Mountain, waiting for Lingxiao Sword Sect's next counterattack.
No one came out to fight.
He raised his sword and pointed it at the main peak, Cangjian Peak. "Everyone, listen to my order. Break through this formation and kill everyone on this mountain."
At the command, dozens of cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm stepped forward. Most of them were guest cannon fodder, but there were also cultivators from the Council of Elders. There were demons and monsters, and it looked like a mixed crowd, shining with all kinds of colors.
Sword light, thunder, evil wind, demonic energy...
The main defense's inner formations were linked together, with a killing formation every ten steps and an illusion formation every five steps. Although these were not fatal enough to the cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm, they seriously slowed down their pace.
If we go fast, we can advance ten kilometers in a day.
Outrageous!
Lu Zhou frowned as he looked at him. The human heart is as sharp as a knife, and it is unstoppable. Although he is not a man with a bad temper, he is also an impatient one. He cannot stand such a slow movement, so he drew his sword forward and released the cold and beautiful blade light.
The violent blade stretched for dozens of miles, sweeping across the territory in the hope of breaking all the laws with one force. Wherever it passed, no matter what kind of illusion or killing array it was, they all exploded like bubbles.
After a sweep of the knife, Lu Zhou stopped the blade and looked towards the door.
What came into view was a man and a tiger approaching slowly.
The white tiger has wings growing from its ribs, stirring up wind and thunder. It is five meters long and looks very majestic.
The person is not good enough, with the cultivation level of the Void Refinement Realm. In the Elders' Council of the Huangji Sect, he can barely occupy a seat in a corner.
However, the black sword in his hand was definitely not an ordinary object, and it exuded a sharp edge that attracted Lu Zhou's attention.
"Nine Swords Great Power, are you the head of Lingxiao Sword Sect, Lin?"
"Exactly."
Today, Lin Buyan was very serious. He wore neither the hypocritical mask of a modest gentleman nor the sinister face of a treacherous villain. His expression was solemn and indifferent, calm and composed, neither angry nor humble, and he had the bearing of a master.
No acting, just emotion.
Sect Leader Lin has entrusted his entire life to Lingxiao Sword Sect and is willing to sacrifice his life to repay his master. Knowing that the army is approaching, there is no point in saying any more nonsense.
Of course, he didn't intend to give it away for free. He held the jade slip tightly with his other hand, continuously absorbing the magic power and sword intent left by the old man carrying the sword.
Using the body of the Refining Void Stage to bear the will of the Combined Stage...
Lin Buyan doesn't have such qualifications and can't last long, so he talks even less nonsense.
Speaking of which, the jade slip left by the old man carrying a sword has been kept by the mountain guardian beast White Tiger for more than four hundred years. It never gave it to either Mei Wangsu or Mu Lichen, but as soon as Lin Buyan asked, it took it out without thinking.
"What a courage, worthy of being the leader of a sect."
Lu Zhou praised and stepped forward with his sword.
The blade crossed the full moon, causing dust waves to rise up and roll down, clearing away the raging tide and shocking wind, and in an instant it reached Lin Buyan.
The wind and thunder wings vibrated and the white tiger roared.
The violent thunder ball expanded and shot out, crushing the storm and facing the sword light.
When the two collided, the sword light easily cut the thunder ball in half, and the jumping electric arcs crackled and exploded around it, and a loud bang raised a cloud of dust.
Lin Buyan took a deep breath, took over the sword intent from the old man carrying the sword, and controlled the momentum to chop down a black beam of light from the sky.
The black light extended infinitely, pointing high to the sky and brushing the ground. The restrained violent force was shocking, as if a single sword could create the world.
The black and white lights collided, and the sword energy was annihilated into nothingness.
Lu Zhou let out a light exclamation before disappearing under the eerie black light.
boom!!!
The shockwaves affected the rear formation of Huangji Sect. Upon seeing this, the elders slowly retreated back into the formation. The guests breathed a sigh of relief and followed the elders in retreating.
If life didn't force them, who would want to be the first to rush in
I won’t say more, it’s all because of life.
"It's strange. That man is called Lin Buyan, the leader of Lingxiao Sword Sect. I have checked his information. He is a modest gentleman and a gentleman of morality. Lingxiao Sword Sect was revived in his hands. The cultivators in Yuezhou also praised him. He is a leader with an excellent reputation."
"What do you want to say?"
"In terms of intelligence, no one mentioned anything about Sect Leader Lin's strength."
"Then where does his sword intent come from?"
"The trump card left by our predecessors should be the old man carrying a sword."
"What a pity! If his master Mu Lichen had the Great Power Heaven, he might be able to compete with Lu Zhou, but he..."
"Enough is enough. It is extremely immoral to insult someone behind their back. Sect Leader Lin is still a decent person."
In the corner, the conservatives were whispering, discussing that they could not just watch the show without helping. The mysterious man who possessed the immortal sword intent might just be talking, and in fact did not exist at all. It was up to them to save the Tianjian Sect.
After Lin Buyan was defeated, the senior sister Lian Lin took over the Da Shi Tian. She recovered from her injuries and her sword power reached its peak again. After hundreds of years of suppression, it was the peak of her power. She was no match for Lu Zhou.
It's just a mad knife, and he was the one being hit.
"Good sword power. I don't know what means you used to increase your sword power to such a terrifying level, but external objects are still external objects after all. They are not yours, and you are no match for me."
The dust settled, and Lu Zhou brushed off the dust on his shoulders. Under his torn clothes and armor, a white mark was clearly visible.
No defense was broken.
Lin Buyan's eyelids twitched, and he sighed that everyone with the surname Lu was tough and durable. Lu Bei was like this, and Lu Zhou was not bad either.
With a flick of his vision, he replaced Lu Zhou with Lu Bei. His eyes narrowed slightly, his murderous aura suddenly increased, his body broke through the limit, and he took on the sword intent of the old man with the sword easily.
This kid finally did something human!
Lin Buyan was very happy. Having found the trick, he continued along this line of thought.
For a moment, Lu Bei was all on my mind.
Feeling that it was not enough, Mo Buxiu was added in as well.
In his mind, the scene of Mo Buxiu rubbing him on the ground appeared, and his anger level soared. The scene of Lu Bei and Bai Jin sneaking out of Beijun Mountain appeared, and his anger level reached its peak.
The sword energy is high in the sky, inheriting the trump card left by the old man carrying the sword, and Changchong's sword intent rises to perfection.
Buzz buzz buzz—
The sky was roaring with great momentum, and the wills of two generations of sword-wielders overlapped, emitting a black light that disturbed the situation in all directions.
“Well done!”
Lu Zhou was delighted to see prey, and he walked forward with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He chopped down the white tiger that was blocking his way with one sword, and then he killed Lin Buyan in a flash of lightning.
Man and sword become one, the stunning sword light strangles all directions, distorting the void and collapsing the darkness.
"Sword, raise."
Lin Buyan raised his sword and stepped forward, man and sword becoming one, piercing straight into the depths of darkness.
