Chapter 117 Siege and Killing
From Shi Yanwen's experience, Qiao Rulai and others, and the age of Yi Wuxin whom he met before, Lu Ping can roughly deduce that this world belongs to the Golden Light, which should have just reached the period of the Legend of the Black and White Dragon and Wolf.

It’s just that the Western Sword School invasion did not happen in the Suzaku Dynasty, so the development of some parts of the story became different.

The two departments of Heaven and Earth established by Miyamoto Souji under the pseudonym Xiao Wuming still exist, and the Heaven Department religion and the Earth Department headquarters are still headed by Qiao Rulai and Yun Shifang.

But now the Tiandi Shuangbu is just an ordinary martial arts sect, not an organization established to resist the Xijianliu.

After meeting Shi Yanwen, Lu Ping felt that he had fulfilled his wish. After he had stayed for a while, he stood up and said goodbye.

Xiao Yuer still stayed in Zhengqi Villa. Shi Yanwen seemed to be interested in teaching him the full set of Pure Yang Palm. Naturally, he did not intend to give up such an opportunity.

Lu Ping had originally thought of giving him the newly acquired "Divine Scroll", but now it seems that it is not necessary.

After leaving Zhengqi Villa, Lu Ping turned back along the same route, intending to return to the capital city. Halfway through...

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a sharp sword energy attacked from behind!

Fortunately, Lu Ping had sharp ears and eyes, and at the critical moment he dodged the sneak attack by moving sideways.

"Who is it?! Come out!"

No one responded. All that could be heard in the air was the rustling sound of the wind blowing the yellow sand and flying stones. In the wilderness, a cold murderous aura was revealed.

In a moment, the murderous aura was getting closer and closer, followed by the sound of dozens of footsteps approaching.

When the other party came forward, Lu Ping realized that these people were all wearing black clothes and masks, holding long swords, staring at him with cold eyes.

【System prompt】

[Activate the main mission: Siege counterattack]

[Siege Counterattack]: You are besieged by a conspirator. Please defeat the person in front of you and give this world a little shock from the Pili world.
"We meet again. Main quest..."

After sighing, Lu Ping turned his attention back to the enemy in front of him.

These people are highly similar in terms of the intervals between their steps, breathing frequency, and the way they hold their weapons. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be mass-produced killers.

The last time he had a similar experience was when he had just left Emei. At that time, he was followed by someone. Later, the three people who were following him were exposed and chose to commit suicide. Lu Ping never found anyone following him again.

But now, someone else has come.

Lu Ping was not sure whether the two groups of people had the same origin, but at least their outfits looked similar.

If that's the case...they took so long to take action, is it because I've been in the capital city all this time and have been with other people, didn't they find the opportunity when I was alone?
"Who are you guys? The people who followed me last time were also your people, right? Why did you choose to surround and kill them directly this time?"

"I'm new in society, so I shouldn't have offended anyone!"

Among the group of black-clad men who gathered around, there were two who were dressed in special ways, and they should be the leaders.

They were not dressed in black, but had iron masks on their faces, and the one on the left wielded a sword, while the one on the right wielded a pair of blades.

Lu Ping still wanted to get some information out of the conversation, but these people obviously knew that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, so they didn't give him any chances and just came up with swords and started chopping.

"You are so impatient..."

"Forget it, it's the same if we try again after the fight!"

The leader with the long sword waved his hand behind him and said coldly: "Kill!"

In an instant, a group of black-clad killers rushed up one after another.

Is this an attempt to use the human wave tactic to consume my physical and internal strength...

Lu Ping remained calm and composed, his feet moving like the wind, his body suddenly moving in front and behind, dodging all the oncoming swords with his quick movements.

Passing through a field of thousands of swords, not a single blade hits you.

The killers were all surprised, and exclamations of surprise rose one after another, but they did not stop their movements and steps. Instead, they chopped harder and ran faster!

Lu Ping frowned, sensing that there was something indescribably strange about the swordsmanship of these killers.

The strangest thing is that their swordsmanship is not very sophisticated, but their movements are fast, their moves are crisp and smooth, and almost every sword is aimed at their vital points.

This is definitely not the strength that an ordinary killer should possess!

If someone with lesser martial arts skills were to replace him, he probably wouldn’t be able to withstand the siege of so many people.

Head, eyes, throat, back, crotch, heels, knees...

Although the killer remained silent, he was ruthless in his attacks. Each of his moves was sharp and ferocious. He was ready to attack the physical flaws that were most difficult for ordinary people to defend against, in order to force the person to death.

Seeing this, Lu Ping suddenly became furious: "You are so ruthless, don't blame me for being rude!"

After that, he let out a long shout, pointed his toes, stood up and flew out of the battle circle, and then...

clang! !

The long sword was inserted into the ground, and the internal force turned into sword energy, sweeping in all directions.

The group of black-clad killers who were originally planning to surround the enemy, felt the cold air coming from the front and abruptly stopped their steps and were about to rush forward to continue killing.

Looking closely, I saw a blue and white sword stuck upright on the flat ground outside the wilderness.

Through the crystal clear white scabbard, one can see a long sword soaked in the boiling water of the Tianhe River, emitting a terrifying chill.

Wash away the ink Kunfeng!

"This is my first time to use a sword against an enemy. You are so lucky!" Lu Ping landed from the air and pulled Ximo Kunfeng out of the scabbard with his right hand.

In an instant, water from the Tianhe River gushed out from the scabbard, splashing onto the loess and instantly freezing the ground into ice. Under the clash of cold and heat, white mist evaporated, making a sizzling sound.

The burst of cold air caused the surrounding temperature to drop by more than 20 degrees.

The scorching sun in the sky was obscured by dark clouds that came from nowhere, and the endless wilderness also became dark, as heavy as the end of the world.

This situation made all the killers confused. They looked at each other in bewilderment, and fear quietly grew in their hearts and spread among their companions.

“This…what is going on?!”

"Is it a coincidence? It's definitely a coincidence! How could someone cause such a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth?!"

"Where did his sword come from?"

Panicked voices came one after another, and when Lu Ping heard the voices of this group of black-clad assassins, he finally noticed something was wrong and was stunned: "Your voices...?!"

The voices of these killers were shrill, thin, and effeminate, and they didn't sound like those of normal men at all.

If one or two people are like this, then it can be considered an isolated case, but if everyone is like this, then there is basically only one possibility for their identity -

Eunuch!

Lu Ping finally understood why this group of black-clad and masked killers remained silent from beginning to end.

Because they are all eunuchs, and the eunuchs' voices are inherently different from those of normal people. As soon as they open their mouths, others can immediately determine their identities and speculate their origins.

However, when had he ever had a conflict with the eunuch?
Speaking of eunuchs, Lu Ping's first reaction is Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Factory, the man who was said to have made martial arts regress twenty years by taking a step back.

But I have never dealt with people from the East Factory before!

If it was because of the Hulong Villa...

I have never had any friendship with the Huolong Villa, so it shouldn't be my turn to deal with him!

Moreover, if they were the same group of people who had followed me before, it meant that they had been monitoring me earlier, and it was not because of my actions in the capital city...

Wait! Eunuch plus treacherous and fast swordsmanship?

Such a matching martial arts configuration made Lu Ping wonder: Could it be that these black-clad assassins were using...

"Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?!"

The four words that came out of his mouth made the killers in front of him panic again.

You've got it!
From the only exposed eyes of the black-clad killers, Lu Ping could tell that his guess was correct.

For a moment, Lu Ping couldn't help but secretly praise his own intelligence, but he didn't feel happy at all in his heart.

The Exorcism Sword Technique originally belonged to the Lin family, but the Lin family is gone. Afterwards, the imperial court ignored this tragedy, and now this sword technique has appeared in the hands of a group of eunuchs.

This this……

It’s hard not to connect these things!

After all, this world is not "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

The Qingcheng Sect of the Southern Wulin, along with Emei, Dian Cang, and Wudang, are all one of the 'Five Mountains and Seven Sects'. Over the past few generations, many powerful men have emerged from them, and those powerful men have also left behind many profound martial arts.

Do they really need to covet a mere Sword Manual of Exorcism that they have never even demonstrated?

The more Lu Ping thought about it, the more he felt that in the Lin family's massacre, Qingcheng was most likely just a pair of black gloves, and the real black hand behind them was Dongchang!

"I didn't expect it to be exposed..."

A voice came from the black-clad assassins, and then the leader with a long sword came out: "It seems that we not only underestimated this kid's martial arts, but also his brain..."

"We can't keep such a person alive, so why not kill him?"

His eyes turned to the other killer leader next to him who had a sword hanging on his body.

"The meaning of the above is to recruit, don't act on your own!"

Lu Ping noticed that the voices of these two people were not sharp, which showed that they were not eunuchs.

Come to think of it, those people next to them who have practiced the Sword Manual of Exorcism are obviously the lowest-level minions in the killer organization, and these two are obviously small leaders.

But...recruiting?
These people are actually here to recruit me?

"At least let me test his strength first!"

The long sword killer waved his hand, signaling the black-clad killers beside him to step back, and then walked towards Lu Ping, drew his sword from its sheath, and there was a loud sound, like a dragon's roar.

The next moment, the long sword killer rushed towards Lu Ping.

God damn recruiting!
Kill them right away. Is there such a way of recruiting people in the underworld?

Lu Ping was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but when he thought that the other party was a killer organization, he suddenly felt that their behavior was quite normal.

After all, if I were in your shoes, if I wanted to recruit people into a killer organization, I would definitely test their strength first - if they died accidentally, it would mean that the other party's strength was not up to standard.
