Chapter 191: Repaying Favors and Revenges

Yagyu Kiku is said to be immortal and indestructible.

But he can also be hurt, sealed, and cursed, but he just can't die.

Moreover, the reason why he has such a special physique is that Kiriyama Mori cast the Flame Demon's magic on him. Since it is a magic, there must be a way to remove it.

When masters fight, there is no need for too many words. Everything they want to say can naturally be expressed through their fists and feet during the fight.

"Shura's Fury!"

Although he calls himself Shura, Yagyu Kiku's moves are extremely calm and steady, his body moves along with his fists, showing the demeanor of a master.

Lu Ping knew that this man had a hundred-year foundation, so he did not underestimate the enemy. He immediately retracted Xi Mo Kun Feng, moved his hands in the clouds, and practiced Tai Chi.

"Absorb the positive energy of heaven and earth, transform the universe into the boundless, the mysterious Tai Chi."

The internal force attracted the surrounding airflow, and the shadow of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram appeared around Lu Ping.

"Is this... Tai Chi?"

As the one with the most experience and the most proficiency in martial arts in the Western Sword Ryu, Yagyu Kiku naturally recognizes this type of martial arts.

"I don't know how powerful this young man can be... but since he was able to defeat several Eight Gates, Six Divisions, and Heavenly Kings in a row, I think his strength is extraordinary."

As soon as the two men got close, they started a fierce fist-and-palm fight.

The Shura Fist was fierce and powerful, extremely domineering, and each move seemed to carry infinite power, enough to shake the soles of the feet when it hit the ground.

Looking at the Tai Chi spirit used by Lu Ping, it is to use softness to overcome hardness, slowness to defeat speed, and stillness to overcome movement. His expression is neither arrogant nor impatient, and his movements are neither fast nor slow.

Fists came, palms went, and before he knew it, he had already used more than a hundred moves.

No matter how Yagyu Kiss attacks, Lu Ping can always neutralize the power of his punches in the first moment and then find an opportunity to attack.

However, Yagyu Kiss was not comparable to the enemies Lu Ping had encountered before. Not only was his defense tight, but even if he was hit by a punch or two occasionally, the feeling was like hitting a stone, which was indescribably wonderful.

Not wanting to fight for a long time, Yagyu Kiku gathered his inner strength and prepared to end the battle in one fell swoop.

"Shocking Shura!"

The internal force condensed into substance, as if it turned into a pair of different-colored boxing gloves, flowing in his hands. Then, Yagyu Guiku took a step forward and delivered a shocking punch towards Lu Ping.

The terrifying fist wind blew towards him, and Lu Ping did take a half step back. He moved his hands and moved his palm again -

"Taiji Xuan: The great energy returns to its origin."

For a moment, time and space seemed to stop.

A few feet in front of Lu Ping, the fist that could smash a thousand-pound rock seemed to hit an invisible shadow, and could no longer move forward. Then all the strength was absorbed by this force, circulated in the Yin-Yang Tai Chi, and was sent back intact!

Boom——! !

With a dull sound, Yagyu Kiku was knocked out by his own punch.

Invisibly, a shadow emerged from Lu Ping's body and caught up with the flying Yagyu Guiku in the blink of an eye.

The phantom maintained the same posture as the real body, practicing Tai Chi with his palms, and while moving his hands, he launched another attack at Yagyu Kiku, and then returned to Lu Ping.

Bang——! !

Yagyu Kiku was hit a second time, and his injuries were even more serious. While he was spitting blood, the place where he was hit actually faded its original color and turned into earth-gray stone.

The shadow returned to Lu Ping, and he was also affected by the recoil force and retreated repeatedly.

However, with every step back, Lu Ping would dissipate some of the recoil of the fist force to the ground. After a few steps, he had completely neutralized the opponent's fist force.

As soon as he stood firm, Lu Ping noticed the changes in Yagyu Kiku's body.

"Is this the forbidden technique of the Western Sword School?"

"It's really scary that a normal person can be refined into this state..."

"Is this considered living?"

Lu Ping's unintentional sigh touched the melancholy in Liu Sheng Gui Ku's heart, and instantly extinguished his desire to fight again.

Just then, a lot of footsteps were heard.

The two turned around and saw that it was Akabane Nobunosuke and the Saikenryu people who came to support again.

Except for Yueya Lei who was seriously injured and retreated, and several captains of the Eight Gates, the three previous captains from the Six Divisions were all there, but each of them was seriously injured. It was probably because they were unable to escape and were hit by the aftermath of the thunderous thunder.

Kanda Kyoichi, Izumo Nobuhiro and Yasha Hitomi each held Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao and Murong Jiu hostage. Although the three were awake, they looked exhausted and weak.

Duan Tianya looked ashamed: "Master Lu, I'm so sorry! We..."

Gui Hai Yidao lowered his head and said, "We have been poisoned, you have to be careful..."

Murong Jiu blushed: "Boss, save me!"

Each of the three was more embarrassing than the other.

However, since Xi Jianliu has brought them out, it seems obvious that he wants to negotiate.

"Lord Yagyu..."

“Ghost crying…”

The abnormality on Yagyu Kiku's body immediately caught the attention of everyone in Xijianliu, but soon the abnormality gradually recovered and turned from stone back into its original flesh and blood.

"Is everyone alright?"

"Yikawa Shizu has already done some simple processing for us."

After hearing this, Yagyu Kiku felt relieved, nodded and stepped aside.

He knew that the next step would be negotiation time, and he didn't need to fight anymore. He could just leave the situation to Akabane Nobunosuke.

"Take the prisoners out. Do you intend to surrender?"

Lu Ping took a step forward and looked at the three captives.

"Since we can't decide who will win, we have to move to negotiations."

Akabane Nobunosuke also stepped forward, his attitude still neither humble nor arrogant.

This is his style of doing things. No matter what the situation is, he can remain calm. Sometimes, even if he is at a disadvantage, he can maintain a strong attitude of "advance to retreat" during negotiations.

For example, now, it is clear that Xijianliu suffered a great loss in this ambush operation, and everyone was beaten black and blue, and no one in the organization could take down Lu Ping, but he can still openly say something like "it's hard to tell who will win."

"Of course we can negotiate. My request is very simple." Lu Ping pointed at the three prisoners and said, "Hand them over... and Shangguan Haitang, who I don't know if is in your hands, or someone else. Hand them over intact, and I will leave immediately."

He didn't know any magic and couldn't remove the curse on Yagyu Kiss. ​​Even if he could defeat him, he wouldn't be able to kill him. It was not a good idea to continue like this.

What's more, they also have to consider the possibility that the other party will become desperate and attack Murong Jiu and the other two.

For both sides, just stopping the fighting and going back to their own homes is indeed the best solution at the moment. If they get angrier and angrier, there will be plenty of opportunities to retaliate.

As soon as Lu Ping said this, before Akabane Nobunosuke could speak, the people around him started shouting.

"Is Xijianliu a place where people can come and go freely?"

"Military Advisor, this man has caused us huge losses, we must not let him go!"

"Let's all attack together. I can't do that. He can handle so many people at the same time..."

"Quiet!"

Akabane Nobunosuke shouted loudly, and everyone shut up instantly.

"The West Sword School has suffered a great loss of vitality tonight, and everyone is injured. We should not get entangled with this person any longer. If he wants revenge, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Although the people of Xijianliu were unwilling in their hearts, they also knew that this was not the time to show off their strength, so they could only hold back for the time being. They clenched their fists and glared at Lu Ping.

"No, you are still right?"

Lu Ping was puzzled. “Wasn’t it Xijianliu who designed to lure us here in the beginning? The reason why things have evolved into the current situation is entirely because you underestimated the enemy... that is, my strength.”

Lu Ping started chatting.

"If you are going to be angry, you should be angry at the spies who collected incorrect intelligence, at your own lack of strength and skills, and at your military advisor's poor planning and crude layout..."

"Shut up, you little brat! You are not allowed to insult the military advisor!!"

Lu Ping was silent for a moment: "..."

It turns out that you can be scolded for your subordinates, and you accept it when they scold you personally, but you get angry when your military advisor is scolded, right?

Forget it, why would I bother to argue with a bunch of Akabane fans?

Akabane Nobunosuke raised his folding fan to stop the people behind him from jumping up and down, and said calmly: "He is right. Since I am the commander of an army, today's defeat should naturally be borne by me alone..."

"That's not true! The Western Sword School has always stood together!"

Are you guys really going to act out "Call of Duty" for me?
Knowing that it would be useless to say more to others, Lu Ping looked directly at Akabane Nobunosuke.

"How about it, do you agree to the conditions?"

"If you agree, then that's fine. If you don't agree, then I will have no choice but to disregard the safety of the hostages and send your entire Xijian Clan to be buried with them."

The people from the Western Sword School were all shocked: "How can you negotiate like this..."

"I'm sorry, I'm a warrior, not good at speaking, I can only rush."

Akabane Nobunosuke closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Of course!"

"I'm talking about intact and new..." Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and pointed at the three people.

"Yikawa, detoxify and release him!"

"……Yes!"

Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao and Murong Jiu were detoxified by Yi Chuan Zi, and they walked towards Lu Ping with shame and apology on their faces.

Lu Ping subconsciously took a step back and distanced himself from the three people: "Stop, just stand there and don't move! To be on the safe side, let me check if there is anything wrong with you first!"

The three of them could only stand where they were after hearing that.

"……is this necessary?"

Lu Ping snorted and said disdainfully: "Who knows? Maybe the three of you are disguised as members of the Western Sword School, or you may look fine, but in fact you have been poisoned, cursed, or have been tied with bombs..."

The three felt helpless, but they also knew that what Lu Ping said made sense.

Lu Ping approached the three people carefully and began to give them physical examinations one by one.

"Which volume of the Military Scriptures did I pass on to you? Use your internal energy to see the effect..."

"What was the name of your first love? Don't worry if I know it or not, just answer it!"

"Jump a little... shout a little..."

"What? You won't do it? There must be something fishy going on if you're so uncooperative!"

"..."

After a long time, Lu Ping finally finished the inspection and played a trick on these three useless people. Fortunately, he did not find any hidden tricks on them.

At least he couldn't see it.

"Are these the only three prisoners of the Western Sword School?"

Akabane Nobuyuki knew that what Lu Ping was asking about was about Shangguan Haitang, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, there are only these three people! Shangguan Haitang is just bait to lure you into the game through the mouths of the Ten Evils."

"Come to think of it, you, the West Sword School, are quite familiar with the personnel composition of the Dragon Guarding Villa..."

"How many people in this world are there who are as hard to find out as you are?"

"How is it, have you confirmed that there is no tampering?"

Lu Ping shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, I can't find any tricks for now. If I'm fooled by you, then I have no choice but to admit defeat."

"Hehehe..."

Akabane Nobunosuke suddenly burst into laughter: "Don't worry, since I said I would let them go safely, I won't go back on my word."

"Akabane Nobunosuke has always been a man who repays kindness with kindness and revenges with hatred."

Lu Ping heard something hidden in the words.

"You tricked me into joining the game, and I poisoned the Xijianliu army, so we are even now;"

"You kidnapped three of my friends and now they are being sent back intact. I killed quite a few of you, so I'll stop now and we're even."

"What kind of grudge is there between us?"
