Chapter 340: Onmyoji from Japan... Did you go to the wrong copy?

The river surface is frozen, which is Lu Ping’s job.

It was Guo Yan's mission to launch a surprise attack on the bandit leader.

On the high peak along the Qu Tang Gorge, Lu Ping stared at the battlefield, his spiritual energy flowing continuously, ready to provide support at any time.

But in Lu Ping's opinion, Guo Yan should not need any support.

Without the benefit of the Shang Shui Book's water control, Gong Ao's abilities were just mediocre. In this situation, Guo Yan had nineteen ways to kill him.

After all, Guo Yan is proficient in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and a set of Dog Beating Stick Techniques.

"I remember in the original story, Gong Ao died after being slapped in the face by Gongsun Ying after becoming dehydrated and having his neck twisted."

"An old woman in her eighties can do this. If it were the leader of the Beggars' Sect at the peak of his powers..."

“I dare not think about it…I dare not think about it!”

Lu Ping didn't need to worry too much about the outcome of the battle in the center of the battlefield, so he focused more on the safety of the cover team.

In this operation, Lu Ping was responsible for attracting wind, forming ice, and controlling the situation, while the Tian Ce soldiers were responsible for water and fire attacks.

As for the assembled heroes, they were divided into two teams.

The first team was led by Yang Ning, who moved around the battlefield to harass the enemy and continue to set fires to cover Guo Yan's actions;
The second team was led by Ye Wei, whose main task was to delay other bandit leaders and prevent them from supporting Gong Ao.

"If we only look at the number of people, the pirates from the Twelve Linked Docks still have an absolute advantage."

"But after the previous rounds of surprise attacks, these people's physical strength and energy have been greatly depleted, and their morale is quite low. In this case, lying down will have a much greater positive effect than continuing to move."

With the help of the firelight, Lu Ping's eyes wandered freely across the glacier battlefield.

From the front of the battlefield, we can see the Tian Ce army sweeping the enemy with spears in hand. At the back, we can see Qi Jin fighting against many enemies alone and killing one person every ten steps.

The entire team is in good mental and physical condition, and morale is high, so the probability of success is very high.

Just then, there was a sound of busy footsteps behind me.

somebody is coming?

Why would anyone come here at this time?
Lu Ping was confused and immediately turned around to look behind him, trying to see whether the person coming was a friend or an enemy. Then he saw a group of warriors wearing armor and with steel swords on their waists, walking towards him.

The person who came was speaking in a gibberish tone that was hard to understand.

It's from Japan!

From a few familiar syllables, Lu Ping immediately recognized the identity of the person.

Taking a closer look at the leader, he was actually dressed like a Japanese Onmyoji.

"This person... could he be Fujiwara Hirotsugu's subordinate?"

Since the other party was dressed as an Onmyoji, the first thing Lu Ping thought of was naturally the Genji, the only Onmyoji family that had appeared in the world of Sword III.

The only people in the Genji family that Lu Ping knew were Minamoto no Akihabara and his sister Minamoto no Akiyuki.

But the Yin-Yang Master in front of him was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

Judging from the gender, it is certain that the other party is not Yuan Mingyu; and judging from the age, it is most likely not Yuan Mingya either.

Could it be that Fujiwara no Hirotsugu had recruited new subordinates for his second invasion of Toburin?

While they were wondering, the group of Japanese people also noticed Lu Ping standing here, and they all became alert. Many warriors even put their hands on the swords at their waists.

A warrior with a keen eye drew his sword, stepped forward, and gave Lu Ping an impolite order.

"Little ghost, who are you? Get out of here quickly! Otherwise..."

Puff-!
The energy was released instantly, and a fleeting spark popped out.

The steel knife in the Japanese warrior's hand broke into two pieces neatly and fell to the ground with a clang.

“Ah?! You…”

The Japanese soldier was stunned on the spot, his body trembled, and he couldn't even hold the remaining half of the steel knife in his hand. He stepped back in fear and looked at Lu Ping speechless.

Seeing this, the other Japanese warriors behind him drew their swords from their waists and looked at Lu Ping nervously.

But the leading Yin-Yang Master raised his hand and shouted to everyone, "Stop, you are no match for him."

When it comes to dealing with the underworld, eyesight is very important.

This Onmyoji of unknown origin clearly has a pair of eyes that can identify the strength of our enemies.

After shouting at everyone to leave, the other party walked forward and saluted respectfully towards Lu Ping.

"I'm sorry, I didn't discipline my subordinates well, and I made you laugh."

"My name is Shibata Michisue, and I'm from Japan. May I ask your name, young man?"

That's strange!

You are a Japanese, but you speak Chinese pretty well?

Shibata Inu...

Oh no, it was Shibata Michisue, this name that was three parts unfamiliar and seven parts familiar made Lu Ping narrow his eyes.

"You just said your name is Shibata Michisue?"

"Yes." "Look at your outfit, are you an Onmyoji?"

"Of course."

Shibata Michimo nodded and asked, "Just now I sensed the movement of spiritual energy on the shore, so I followed it. Since you are here to watch the battle, could it be that this is the magic on the river, and you are the one using it?"

"Of course."

"Perhaps I remembered it wrong, but... your name doesn't seem to be on the list of Jianghu heroes?"

"good."

Two equally clear questions and two equally simple answers gave the two of them an idea of ​​what the conversation would look like next.

Shibata Michisue, Lu Ping remembered this character.

He is a character in the Jin Guang Puppet Show. Although he is an Onmyoji, he is a loyal fan of the demon clan member Oboroburo.

"It turns out that there are also people with magical powers in the East Wulin! I didn't know..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Ping took action.

He just moved his feet, crossed a distance of dozens of steps in an instant, and appeared in front of Shibata Michisue. Then he used a simple acupoint-pressing and grappling move to pin the opponent to the spot, unable to move.

Although Shibata Michisue had some attainments in Yin-Yang arts, he knew nothing about martial arts. In terms of physical skills, he was just at the level of an ordinary middle-aged man.

In addition, Lu Ping acted decisively, so it was normal for him to be captured with such a move.

"How dare you! You actually..."

The group of Japanese warriors behind him became anxious upon seeing this, and were about to draw their swords with a loud shout. However, before they could take a step, they met Lu Ping's calm gaze.

In just a short moment, it felt like three days and three nights had passed.

The Japanese warriors only felt that in their consciousness, they were cut into pieces by the young man in front of them and died countless times. When they came back to their senses, they were shocked to find that their scalps were numb and their bodies were covered in sweat.

“Hurry… hurry up and go!!”

In fear, the Japanese warriors covered their heads and ran around, then turned around and fled for their lives.

Lu Ping ignored the fleeing Japanese warriors and only focused his attention on Shibata Michisue: "Now, there are only two of us left here."

"Young man, spare my life. We have something to talk about..."

Shibata Michisue spoke hurriedly, his voice containing three parts panic and seven parts uneasiness.

He originally wanted to flatter him and try to get more information out of the boy in front of him, but he didn't expect that the other party was a ruthless person of few words and started to attack directly.

"Of course you have to talk nicely! You should know what to do, right?"

In Lu Ping's opinion, it is indeed necessary to inquire about intelligence.

But it’s not the other party who should ask me, but I who should interrogate him!

"Yes... yes... please ask, young man. I will tell you everything I know!"

Bang! !

Lu Ping gave Shibata Michisue a blow: "How would I know what to ask? Just tell me all the information you know!"

"I...I understand..."

After about an incense stick of time, Lu Ping had almost figured out Shibata Michisue's identity and purpose.

According to him -

More than ten years ago, Fujiwara Hirotsugu's plan to conquer Tobu Lin failed and he was driven back to Japan.

After that, he did not become depressed. Instead, he recruited new soldiers, built equipment, and recruited talents in an attempt to conquer the Eastern Wulin again.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. At that time, the Western Sword School dominated the Japanese underworld, including Fujiwara Hirotsugu's "Nakajo Ittoryu". Other forces were beaten to a pulp like rats crossing the street.

These forces that were persecuted by the Western Sword Flow formed an organization called the 'Cruel Alliance'.

In order to protect himself, Fujiwara Hirotsugu also joined in with the "Nakajo Ittoryu".

Until a year ago, the Western Sword School went out to conquer the southern martial arts world and took away most of the people. The "Cruel Alliance" took this opportunity to make a move and, under the leadership of the leader Oboro Saburo, dominated the Japanese martial arts world in one fell swoop.

After that, Fujiwara Hiroshi jumped out.

He believed that Xijianliu would return to Japan sooner or later, so the "Cruel Alliance" could not be complacent at this moment, but should be prepared for danger in times of peace.

It so happens that Shenzhou's martial arts are profound and mysterious. The "Cruel Alliance" can send people to steal them, bring them back to Japan to promote them, and use them as a trump card for future battles against the Western Sword School.

This proposal was affirmed by Oborosaburo.

So Fujiwara Hirotsugu brought a group of people and crossed the ocean again, ready to seize the martial arts of Dongwulin.

In order to help him complete the action as soon as possible, Oborosaburo also sent his confidant, Shibata Michisue, to help, hoping to speed up the process of collecting martial arts.

After arriving at Dongwulin, Fujiwara Hirotsugu not only recalled his old subordinates scattered in Dongwulin, but also united multiple forces in the martial arts world and constantly planned to take action against disciples of various factions.

Among his partners is Gong Ao, the chief leader of the Twelve Linked Docks.

However, Gong Ao's actions were too ostentatious, not only causing public outrage in the martial arts world, but also causing a group of heroes to form an alliance to attack Baidi City.

As a result, the cooperation between the two has now broken down.
