Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 540: Truce Declaration
End the war?

The unexpected words stunned both parties.

How could a war between countries that lasted for half a year be ended by one person?

If things were that simple, the situation would not have evolved to this point.

"The dispute between the two Song dynasties has been brewing for more than half a year, and the stalemate has lasted for two full months. I think no one would disagree with Young Master Lu's statement that he wants to end the war."

Huang Rong is worthy of being Huang Rong. She did not question or deny Lu Ping's idea at first, but directly affirmed it, trying to get closer to him, and even had a hint of taking advantage of the power of others.

"I just don't know how Young Master Lu plans to end the war?"

Looking at Huang Rong's half-smiley eyes, Lu Ping smiled softly: "I have two plans here, please choose your own."

"First, of course, you should all retreat now and inform the defenders of Wangbei City and Chaonan City to withdraw their troops. At the same time, compensate the people affected by the war within dozens of miles. Of course, after you return, you must also tell the two emperors to stop the war and restore the previous state."

"Well, my suggestion is not bad, right?"

"It is absolutely appropriate to use such a peaceful method to resolve this incident that has affected everyone in the entire martial arts world."

After these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, some were laughing, and some were staring at Lu Ping in astonishment, not knowing whether he was serious or joking.

After a long while, Huang Rong finally said in a hoarse voice with a forced smile: "This is a good idea, but how can the two city garrisons and the two emperors of the north and south be so easy to talk to?"

"Young Master Lu, why don't you tell me about the second plan?"

"Hey, I don't think you guys will want to accept this second option."

Lu Ping looked up at the sky. The night sky was filled with bright moon and stars, and the Milky Way was brilliant, which was pleasing to the eyes.

Then he pretended to be sad, his eyes fell again, and he sighed: "According to the conclusion I have drawn from traveling all over the martial arts worlds of Shenzhou, the only way to unite the two opposing camps is to create a stronger and more terrifying common enemy."

Having said this, he suddenly paused, and the people present had already heard what he was going to say next.

Sure enough, everyone immediately heard the most absurd sentence they had never heard in their lives -

"The second plan is - if they don't agree, then I will be the opponent of the two Song dynasties!"

“No matter if it’s a hundred thousand troops, a million troops, or martial arts masters or legends, no matter how many people you send or who they are, I, Lu Ping, will take them all!!”

"Even if we have to slaughter the two Songs and leave corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river, we must ensure that you dare not cause trouble again!"

"From now on, Northern Wulin will surely rebuild its world and return to the days of peace and prosperity, and a peaceful Wulin!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thick clouds came with the wind, blocking half of the moon.

Lu Ping stood upright, standing on the clear dividing line of the moonlight. Half of it was illuminated by light, and half of it showed a warm smiling face, like a god; the other half was covered by shadow, and the expression could not be seen clearly, but it looked like a devil.

When everyone saw this, they felt cold from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and they trembled and dared not say a word.

The whistling sound of the wind blowing through the forest was the only answer at this moment.

No one expected that Lu Ping would say such shocking words. Everyone was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Using one person's strength to fight against two countries?
Such courage and boldness may not be unprecedented, but at least it is unprecedented.

Even Xiao Qiushui, who was known as the 'legend of martial arts', or Yan Kuangtu, 'the craziest man in the martial arts world', did not dare to say 'the whole world is my enemy' when they were young, right?
A few ignorant disciples wanted to mock Lu Ping, but when they saw Lu Ping's serious expression, felt the overwhelming pressure from him, and thought of the legends about him, they fell silent again.

Faced with such a strong man, they even lost the courage to speak.

"Young Master Lu is really... peace-loving..."

Even though Huang Rong was an eloquent woman, her brain seemed to have crashed at this moment. She racked her brains but could not think of an appropriate word to describe Lu Ping. In the end, she had to use these four words.

Hearing Huang Rong's praise, everyone present looked strange.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Did anything he just said have anything to do with the word "peace"?
Isn't this definitely a crazy big devil?
But no one dared to say this out loud, for fear that Lu Ping would kill them.

They knew that with the absolute gap in strength between Lu Ping and themselves, killing anyone present would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Lu Ping also laughed: "Boss Huang is really insightful. He can see through my true nature at a glance."

"To be honest, I also think I am a peace-loving person, so if someone forces me onto an 'unpeaceful' path, I will definitely not let that person off easily." Huang Rong's heart was pounding, her scalp was tingling, goose bumps were crawling all over her body, and her back was covered in cold sweat, but her face always maintained that elegant, polite, but a little awkward smile.

Lu Ping turned a blind eye and just signaled the trapped people from the Golden Wind and Rain Tower with his eyes. He said calmly, "Tonight, please give me some face, Chief Huang and Chief Su, and take your people away."

Huang Rong naturally didn't dare to refuse after hearing this. She gritted her teeth, waved her hand and said, "Elder Lu, let him go."

"……Yes."

Lu Youjiao had also seen Lu Ping's strength, and knew that all the people present combined were no match for him, so when Lu Ping said "both sides should retreat", he had already made preparations.

When Huang Rong gave the order again, he immediately took action, demonstrating the strong execution ability that a deputy gang leader should have.

The Beggars' Sect disciples lifted the siege, and the people from the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower did not dare to move. In the end, Bai Choufei walked towards Su Mengzhen first, and the rest dared to follow.

Lu Ping nodded with satisfaction: "I will give you one month to inform, prepare, and mobilize troops."

"If the two emperors refuse to cease fighting, Lu Ping will be waiting for everyone from the Northern Martial Arts World to come to 'Chao Nan Wang Bei' in one month!"

Looking south and north, it is a flat land between Chaonan City and Wangbei City.

Originally, this place had no name. It only got a name in the last two months because it became the battlefield where soldiers from the two Song dynasties fought against each other.

In fact, the two names "Chaonan City" and "Wangbei City" were given because of the division of territory and governance during the Song Dynasty, and they have a history of only about 50 years.

Lu Ping continued, "Of course, you can also choose not to cease fire or fight."

"But if you do that, a month later, you will see the heads of the two emperors in 'Looking South and Looking North'."

No one dared to doubt Lu Ping's ability, and no one dared to bet on his determination.

The moment he uttered these 'treasonous' words, everyone present knew that this matter had become so serious that no one could stop it, and they could only report it to the people above them and let them make the decision.

……

It was not until the late night that Huang Rong returned to Wangbei City with a group of Beggar Gang disciples.

As soon as she entered the city, she learned that three Shaolin monks had been killed by Bai Choufei. Huang Rong was instantly filled with fear and secretly worried about Guo Jing's personal safety.

He hurried back to the general's mansion, and only after seeing that Guo Jing was safe and sound and that the Beggar Gang disciples had not suffered many casualties did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After calming herself down, Huang Rong told Guo Jing what happened in the forest tonight.

"Thanks to the intelligence gathered by the Beggars' Sect disciples, I was able to formulate this plan for tonight. I thought it was perfect and I would be able to keep the people from the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower. I didn't expect that Young Master Lu would appear halfway and interfere, and even mess things up to this point..."

"Brother Jing, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

Guo Jing pondered for a long time and then sighed: "At this point, I can only report the truth and let General Wu and the Southern Song Emperor worry about it."

General Wu is the defender of Wangbei City. Tonight, Guo Jing is lying in ambush in the general's mansion on his behalf, while he himself is hiding and is being secretly protected by Guo Fu and the two Wu brothers.

Huang Rong understood what Guo Jing meant and immediately understood that he was leaving. She stepped forward and said, "Although Young Master Lu is a bit arrogant, he is indeed a capable person, and I can see that he cares about peace."

"Now that he is willing to help stop the war, I think the days of peace between the two Song dynasties are not far away. When the time comes, I will unload the burden of the Beggars' Sect, and our family can return to Peach Blossom Island and no longer care about these things in the martial arts world."

From the very beginning, Huang Rong was unwilling to get involved in these matters, but Guo Jing stood up without hesitation because he could not bear to see the war causing suffering to the people of the two Song dynasties.

Now that Lu Ping has intervened, she certainly wants to take the opportunity to get away.

Hearing this, Guo Jing also showed a yearning smile on his face: "Okay, when General Wu comes back, we will tell him about this and then leave here."

At this moment, accompanied by sobbing sounds, a petite figure covered in blood appeared in the field of vision, interrupting the sweet atmosphere between the couple.

"Dad, Mom! Something bad has happened..."

Guo Fu's face was full of tears, her expression was terrified, her whole body was trembling, and she ran over in a panic.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong felt something was wrong when they saw this. Then they heard a shocking news from their beloved daughter:

"Da Wu, Xiao Wu and General Wu were killed!!"
