Chapter 330 Then I Have to Suffer a Loss
It's dawn.

Due to the collapse of many water forts and the fire that lasted for a day and a night, a clear barrier of clear and turbid air has appeared on the surface of the river in Qutang Gorge.

Baidi City is located in the central area. Because of its high terrain and good ventilation, the air is generally fresh.

When Lu Ping and Xie Yunliu arrived here by boat, they could still faintly smell the fragrance of flowers and plants in the forest.

"Now that we've arrived, should we force our way in, or disguise ourselves as pirates and sneak in?"

Several water forts in the Twelve Linked Docks were destroyed, and several groups of bandits escaped one after another.

Most of the bandits were captured by the soldiers of Tiance Mansion roaming around, but some of them slipped through the net and managed to escape, successfully moving to other water strongholds, while others simply headed straight for the headquarters of Baidi City.

Therefore, if Lu Ping used the identity of a "water bandit" at this time, he might have a chance to successfully sneak in.

However, this method doesn't work on Xie Yunliu.

He is a well-known figure in the martial arts world, and his appearance has long been exposed to the public. Anyone who knows a little about the affairs of the martial arts world, as long as they see this face, will know that he is Xie Yunliu of the Sword Sect.

To put it another way, even if he was not recognized, there was no way an old man in his sixties could be an ordinary pirate.

"The method of pretending to be a pirate won't work for me."

Xie Yunliu is very self-aware, "But if we force our way in, it will easily alert the enemy. Letting Gong Ao go is a small matter, but if the disciples of various sects are forced to move early, our efforts will fail!"

This concern is not wrong.

"So what is Sect Master Xie going to do?"

Xie Yunliu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Young Master Lu, are you sure about pretending to be a pirate?"

"Well..."

Lu Ping thought for a moment and gave a sincere answer: "To be honest, I can make sure that there are no flaws in my temperament and appearance, but I don't know if they have any exclusive jargon for this line of work."

"Besides, I'm actually not familiar with the internal affairs of the Twelve Linked Docks. If someone were to discuss it in depth with me, I would definitely be exposed."

Xie Yunliu nodded: "My idea is that we split into two groups."

"You pretend to be a bandit who escaped by chance and get in. Get relevant information from the bandits in Baidi City. I will take another route and directly find out where the captives are."

"With this approach, one open and one covert, we can work on both fronts and cover up each other. Perhaps we can move faster."

The so-called other roads are those places where numerous traps are set up.

When Lu Ping heard this, he understood Xie Yunliu's plan: "Do you want to break into the protective array?"

"A mere agency guard is no match for me!"

Xie Yunliu tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, his eyes revealing a confidence that looked down upon the world.

With his strength, he is indeed qualified to say such words.

But after Lu Ping thought about it, he still felt uneasy.

"As the headquarters of the Twelve Linked Docks, the enemy forces in Baidi City should not be underestimated."

"If we take any other route, we will definitely alert the defense agencies. When the situation gets chaotic, not only the defense guards, but also the tens of thousands of pirates stationed in the city will swarm in and attack us. They will surround the intruders and trap and kill them."

"In a situation like this where we are attacked from both sides, even if we gather all the heroes, we may not be able to take it down."

"Master Xie is alone, it's still too dangerous."

Xie Yunliu knew that Lu Ping's idea was correct, so he asked, "What do you think, young man?"

"I don't have any brilliant ideas, only a simple and unpretentious method."

"what way?"

"Push it over!"

It is indeed very simple and unpretentious!
Xie Yunliu's face suddenly darkened: "Young man, stop joking."

Is there any difference between pushing forward and taking other routes in?

Of course there is a difference!
According to Xie Yunliu, they would be attacked from both sides; but if they broke in with Lu Ping's method, they would only have to face enemies from one direction.

If you can't win, you can retreat calmly.

In this way, the difficulty of the operation is greatly reduced.

"I'm not kidding."

"But the 'two-pronged approach' you just mentioned is a good one. One of us can stay in front to attract fire, while the other sneaks in to look for the person."

"In this way, the pressure faced by people who break in will be greatly reduced."

Xie Yunliu stroked his beard and pondered for a few breaths: "It seems that this is the only most appropriate method!"

"So, who should attract the firepower and who should go find the people?" The one who attracts the firepower will have to face the tens of thousands of pirates in Baidi City;
Those who are looking for someone will have to face the mechanisms in the city, as well as elite pirates who may be hiding among the disciples of various sects, and possibly even Gong Ao, Japanese samurai, etc.

Lu Ping chuckled. "To attract firepower, we need to make a big noise and fight for a long time, so I'm the only one who can do it. As for the task of going deep into the enemy camp and rescuing the disciples of each sect, I'll trouble you, Sect Master."

Xie Yunliu glanced at Lu Ping and said calmly, "Will it be too difficult for you to fight against so many people alone?"

"Then I can only suffer the consequences."

What a loss!

The bandits were weak and their martial arts were not very impressive. Even if they were more numerous, it would be as easy to deal with them as cutting melons and vegetables.
But the people guarding the rear are all tough nuts to crack!

Lu Ping took the initiative to ask to attract firepower, clearly choosing a group of enemies that were easier to deal with.

Thinking of this, Xie Yunliu sighed helplessly: "Let's do it this way."

As a senior in the world, it is only natural for you to take care of the younger ones.

With the plan in place, the two began to act.

……

At the main gate of Baidi City, several pirates were truanting during working hours.

Bandit A: "Have you heard? It seems that three water forts were breached yesterday!"

Bandit B looked around, shook his head and said, "More than three! In the early morning of today, a pigeon came through the city with a message saying that another one had been breached, so there should be four!"

"Not four, but five!"

Bandit C sighed, "The four you mentioned were killed by the mysterious man who declared war on our Twelve Linked Docks. As for the fifth, it was burned down by the coalition forces of various sects in the martial arts world."

Upon hearing the news, both A and B took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect that the Twelve Linked Docks would lose nearly half of their territory in just one day. I think Baidi City will suffer sooner or later. Why don't we learn from others and run away as soon as possible..."

From the news we received, we learned that less than one-tenth of the people in the breached water fort survived. It can be seen that the mysterious man is a real killer and showed no mercy to these water bandits.

Therefore, since yesterday, everyone in Baidi City has been in danger. Many bandits have even packed their bags, asked for leave from their leaders, or simply ran away without saying goodbye.

I’m afraid that if I leave a little too late, I will die here with Gong Ao.

Those who still remain in Baidi City are either Gong Ao’s confidants, or villains who have done all kinds of evil in the world and have no way out, or people whose entire families are controlled by the Twelve Linked Docks.

Just as they were discussing how to pack their bags and flee Baidi City after their shift was over...

A sudden change occurred!

But suddenly, a fierce sword energy hundreds of meters long came from the sky!
The sword energy was surrounded by wild wind and clouds. In the blink of an eye, it struck the water for three thousand miles, broke through thousands of waves, and rushed straight towards Baidi City!

"Enemy...enemy attack..."

"Danger! Hurry..."

"Uhh—!!"

The brilliant sword energy was unmatched. Wherever it passed, the bandits exploded to death without having the chance to call for help or hide, with flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

Then, the might of the sword continued unabated, heading straight for the Baidi City Tower.

boom--! !

But there was a loud bang, and the sword light went straight through the city wall, flew towards the distant sky, and finally dissipated between heaven and earth.

"What happened?"

The sword energy came and went quickly, and most of the bandits in Baidi City had not yet realized what had just happened.

But the next moment, the bandits felt that the entire Baidi City was shaking and groaning, like an earthquake. They were immediately panicked and fled.

"Look up! The city... the tower... has collapsed!"

Hearing the sound, the bandits looked up and were immediately shocked by what they saw and stood there in a daze.

I saw a visible knife mark on the originally towering Baidi city wall.

The knife marks were smooth and straight, splitting the entire tower into two parts. The upper part was slowly falling down the slope, shaking off countless dust, stones and metals.

The building was cut off with one blow, causing countless casualties.

Is there anyone in the world who can really do such a thing?
Could it be that the news we received these days about a mysterious man destroying a village with a single sword is actually true?
In the midst of doubt and uncertainty, I heard a loud poem from the sky -

"The genius of heaven laughs at the past and present, and the mortal world is not worth mentioning. The name of the god is unmatched, and the sword controls the world and is proud of the crowd."
