Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 89: The Camel in the Northern Frontier? One Knife! [28]

Several people looked at the bloody scene in front of them, and a solemn look appeared in their eyes.

The few people who were chasing the young man were all very powerful, and since they were able to chase the young man all the way from Shu to here, their strength must be very strong.

Maybe he is not a master, but he is definitely not comparable to ordinary free-hand fighters.

But now, they were all killed by this hunchback, with almost no chance to fight back, which shows how high his martial arts skills were.

Moreover, this guy actually came here for this young man?

Who on earth is this young man that so many people chased him here from Shu?

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Jiang Xuan, wanting to ask what to do.

But Jiang Xuan also frowned and stared at the hunchback.

"The bright camel in the northern frontier, the peak of the wood..."

Jiang Xuan murmured softly. From the hunchback's mouth, he vaguely guessed his identity.

He actually came here for the Sword Manual of Exorcism?

It seems.

Then this young man is most likely Lin Pingzhi.

If nothing unexpected happens, the people chasing him should be from the Qingcheng Sect.

Yu Canghai sent his disciples to hunt down Lin Pingzhi, but Mu Gaofeng intervened?
Unexpectedly, I encountered this incident on my trip south...

"just kill me!"

Lin Pingzhi shouted, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Mu Gaofeng, gritting his teeth and saying, "I don't know any sword manuals, and even if I did, I wouldn't give them to you!"

"do not know?"

Mu Gaofeng's face darkened as he said coldly, "Since leaving Hengshan, you've been fleeing all the way to Jiangnan. If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa, you want to return to Fuzhou, right?"

"Tell me! Is the Sword Manual of Exorcism hidden in Fuzhou?!"

Lin Pingzhi gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Do you really think Grandpa doesn't dare to kill you?"

Mu Gaofeng was about to get angry when he suddenly noticed Jiang Xuan and his companions riding towards him, and immediately frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he left the young man behind, slowly stood up, and walked to the middle of the road with his camel sword in hand.

Lin Pingzhi also recognized Jiang Xuan and the others whom he had met just now, and a glimmer of hope rose in his eyes.

It can be seen that these people are not very old. Although they all hold knives and should have some martial arts skills, most of them are not very powerful.

If I ask for help from a few people and anger this damn hunchback, wouldn’t I be harming others in vain?
Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi sighed and gave up the idea of ​​asking for help. He just hoped that this hunchback would not harm innocent people and kill these people...

At this moment, Mu Gaofeng had already stood in front of Jiang Xuan and the others. He looked them over for a moment, paying particular attention to their swords. Then, with his eyes slightly narrowed, he asked, "Are you just passing by, or are you here for this kid as well?"

This hunchback not only has an ugly appearance, with his face covered with vitiligo and black birthmarks, but he is also short and fat, and even his voice is very hoarse and unpleasant.

Coupled with the high hunchback behind him, it is hard to imagine that there is such an ugly and weird person in this world.

Several people couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Xuan took a careful look around, becoming even more certain of the hunchback's identity. He said calmly, "So what if he's just passing by? So what if he's not?"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Mu Gaofeng laughed strangely and said, "If you're just passing by, then considering I'm in a good mood, I might show some mercy and let you go."

"If you're planning on targeting this kid, then I, the Camel Sword, wouldn't mind killing a few more of these fools today!"

Obviously, he was very confident in his own strength. Seeing that Jiang Xuan and the others were not very old, he did not think that they could be very powerful.

But it’s no wonder that he is so confident.

In today's martial arts world, most people start practicing martial arts in their teens and achieve some success in their twenties.

Those who have mastered the art of kung fu must be at least in their thirties, or even forty or fifty, before they can be considered masters.

As for Jiang Xuan and his companions, the oldest among them, Pei Xing and his companions, looked to be only around 27 or 30 years old.

Even if you know martial arts, how powerful can you be?

Of course, the main thing is.

The Sword Manual of Exorcism is extremely important to him. Now he has killed these little brats from the Qingcheng Sect. If the news gets out, I'm afraid all the major sects will come to hunt him down.

Therefore, if possible, he still wants to silence all those who know the truth.

But he was not sure whether Jiang Xuan and the others knew about this, so he planned to test it first.

"grown ups?"

Pei Xing and the others also felt the surging aura from the hunchback. This was the aura that could only be displayed after the internal strength was perfected, the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve regular meridians were opened up, and the internal force formed a large circulation.

This hunchback is at least a perfect innate being, or even a master-level figure.

I just don't know how the external skills are being practiced.

If they add one or two external skills that have reached great perfection and combine them with their internal strength, they will most likely not be his match if they fight him.

Xiantian Wanman is not a waste. Just look at how Cao Shaoqin was able to fight against many enemies alone even when he was injured. This gives us a glimpse of the situation.

For a moment, everyone's faces became solemn, and they could only turn their eyes to Jiang Xuan.

"grown ups?"

When Mu Gaofeng heard what they said, he frowned: "People from the imperial court?"

This is a bit troublesome...

Mu Gaofeng's eyes were filled with caution. After a moment's contemplation, he stepped aside and said, "The imperial court has no business in the martial arts world. Everyone, please pass."

Hearing this, Pei Xing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Xuan's expression remained calm and he remained unmoved.

If he had encountered such a thing before, he would always stay away from it, not wanting to cause more trouble.

But if this person is Lin Pingzhi, then it wouldn't hurt to take care of him.

Throughout the entire "Swordsman", the person he felt most regretful about was not Dongfang Bubai, Yue Buqun, or the protagonist Linghu Chong, but Lin Pingzhi.

He was originally a cheerful and kind-hearted young man from a wealthy family, but disaster struck him because of the family-inherited sword manual to ward off evil spirits.

First, his entire family was wiped out by the Qingcheng Sect, but during his escape after the massacre, he still maintained a pure heart. He would rather be a beggar than a thief, and would not attack the peasant woman who insulted him.

Later, he joined the Huashan Sect. He never fought back when bullied by his fellow disciples. When he finally got a chance to take revenge, he stuck to his principle and did not take revenge when his enemy was sleeping. When he encountered his biggest enemy Yu Canghai who was surrounded, he still had a fair one-on-one duel.

He even had many beautiful fantasies. He always naively believed that someone would help him and seek justice for his innocent family members who died.

In the desperate situation, he finally felt a bit of warmth, and Yue Buqun extended a helping hand and accepted him as his disciple.

But he didn't expect that the reason why Yue Buqun approached him was because he coveted his Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism.

When Yue Buqun set numerous traps to steal the Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism, and when Yue Buqun slashed at him with a sword, his world collapsed.

It was because of these dark experiences that he turned completely evil and made up his mind to practice the Sword of Exorcism, becoming a demon villain that everyone wanted to kill.

But who could have known that, at the very beginning, he was just a young man with hope?
He is full of beautiful expectations and yearnings for everything in the world.

Even when he killed Yu Canghai's son Yu Renyan at the beginning, it was because he was standing up for Yue Lingshan, who had disguised herself as an ugly woman. Yu Renyan forced him to kneel down and kowtow, and he had no choice but to kill her by mistake.

He is kind-hearted, resolute and introverted, intelligent and hardworking, has a long-term vision, is patient and nostalgic.

It can be said that if this series of changes had not been discovered, Lin Pingzhi would have been the best template for the protagonist.

It was this series of misfortunes that pushed him step by step to the brink of evil and death.

Jiang Xuan could imagine that when Lin Pingzhi's family was wiped out and he was being chased by enemies and had to hide everywhere, he wished someone would stand up and help him. Perhaps his fate would change from then on.

but.

This seems to be the way the world is, everyone is so selfish.

Everyone is coveting the Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism.

When the truth of all this is revealed, it is hard to imagine how desperate and painful he is inside...

Knowing all this, if you haven't encountered it, or even if you have encountered it, you don't have the ability to deal with it, then it's fine.

Jiang Xuan could only sigh and choose to keep himself out of trouble.

But since he has met him and has the ability to lend a helping hand, Jiang Xuan naturally doesn't mind giving him a hand, giving him a glimmer of hope, and changing his original fate.

Mind this.

Jiang Xuan slowly rode his horse forward.

Seeing this, Xu Longqing and others felt relieved and rode their horses to follow.

Mu Gaofeng thought Jiang Xuan had agreed to his proposal, and with an expression of "you're smart" he made way for Jiang Xuan and his companions to pass. But when Jiang Xuan approached him.

choke--

A silver dragon suddenly appeared, as domineering as a ferocious tiger and as fast as the wind, carrying two terrifying sword forces, and slashed down at him on the head.

The knife was so fast and sharp that not only Xu Longqing and the others were unable to react, but even Mu Gaofeng had not anticipated it.

In the moment he was stunned, two kinds of sword forces came towards him, the domineering and violent sword forces, which made his pupils shrink again, his brain went blank, and he fell into a brief trance.

Then, in his mind, it was as if a ferocious tiger and a violent tornado appeared, swooping down on him fiercely and sweeping over him...

"laugh!"

When Mu Gaofeng came to his senses, the sharp and cold sword had already split his skull and passed through his body.

The blade reflected a dazzling cold light, and spots of blood slowly dripped along the blade...

"you……"

Mu Gaofeng looked horrified and stared at Jiang Xuan.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the knife wound along his forehead slowly split open, and scarlet blood spurted out...

Then, the whole person suddenly split into two halves, fell to the ground in a daze, and soon died.

The scene suddenly became dead silent!
Everyone had a dazed expression, staring in disbelief at Mu Gaofeng's bloody body that had been split in two.

A master who had reached the highest level of innate perfection, and who might have even broken through to the Grandmaster level, just died like that?!

Tread...  

Jiang Xuan's face was calm, as if he had casually killed a chicken. He withdrew his Embroidered Spring Blade, then rode forward, slowly approaching the dazed Lin Pingzhi, and said calmly, "Would you like to be my disciple?"

……

sunset.

The sky gradually darkened.

Outside Changzhou City, six figures, all riding on horses, slowly walked towards the city gate along the gradually shifting sunlight.

The atmosphere was silent.

Until this point, no one had reacted.

In his mind, he still remembered the stunning and terrifying blow by Jiang Xuan that killed Mu Gaofeng.

With just one strike, a well-known martial arts master was split in half without even having a chance to fight back.

You know, he is a master of the innate perfection level who is infinitely close to the Grandmaster, enough to create a second-rate sect!
According to the classification of the martial arts world, those with Grandmasters or above are considered super first-class forces;
Those who have a veteran master in charge can enter the first-class sect;
Sects with top masters or masters at the level of innate perfection can be ranked as second-rate forces;
Those with ordinary talent or first-class masters can be third-rate.

From this we can see that there is a hurdle between innate perfection and becoming a top master.

Namu Gaofeng opened up the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve regular meridians, and his internal energy formed a continuous circulation, which was endless and inexhaustible.

They may even have begun to transform their true Qi and can be called a half-step master or a junior master.

An existence of this level is enough to establish a sect, set up a second-rate martial arts school or open a martial arts hall, and is no longer an unknown person in the entire martial arts world.

Such a person couldn't even block Jiang Xuan's sword!

Although there was an element of sneak attack in it, in that environment, for a young master who had experienced many battles, it didn't really matter whether it was a sneak attack or not.

However, he was killed with one blow.

It is enough to see how terrifying that knife is!
At this moment, including Pei Xing, who had just joined the Jinyiwei, several people inexplicably felt a sense of awe towards Jiang Xuan.

If before, several people respected Jiang Xuan only because of his status.

Now, it all comes down to strength!
With the strength Jiang Xuan has shown, even if he is not in the court, he will definitely not be an unknown person in the martial arts world!
Especially Lin Pingzhi.

At this moment, he looked dazed and his mind was extremely complicated.

In just over a month, he experienced the tragedy of his entire family being killed, went to Hengshan Sect to retire, and wanted to ask the seniors of the Five Mountains Sword Sect to seek justice, but his identity was accidentally exposed and he was hunted down by masters of various sects, and his parents were tortured to death by Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

After much difficulty, he learned from Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect, the relic left to him by his parents. He was about to go to Fuzhou Prefecture to find out what it was, but he was chased by disciples of Qingcheng Sect and intercepted on the Mingtumu Peak in the northern border.

Faced with such a desperate situation, he had already despaired.

However, he never expected that in his eyes, the great man 'Bright Camel of the Northern Sai', Mu Gaofeng, who was comparable to the head of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, was killed instantly by Jiang Xuan with a single blow, like a chicken.

Besides being shocked, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he recalled the scene in Fuzhou where he acted recklessly and was flattered by everyone.

I was really just looking at the world from a narrow perspective before.

The reason why those people in the escort agency and the people of Fuzhou Prefecture flatter me is probably because of my identity as the young escort leader, right?

If I had gone out earlier and seen the masters outside, maybe I would have learned to practice martial arts earlier, and then my parents and those people in the escort agency would not have died tragically...

Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help feeling sad and guilty.

But when he looked up and saw the tall and mighty figure in front of him, he cheered up again, gritted his teeth, and vowed to follow his master to practice martial arts diligently in the future, and to avenge his dead parents and relatives with his own hands in the future!

In this silent atmosphere, everyone slowly arrived at the city gate.

After revealing their identities as Jinyiwei, they successfully entered the city under the respectful gaze of the Changzhou City garrison. Even when they saw Lin Pingzhi covered in blood and in a miserable state, the guards at the city gate did not dare to step forward and ask more questions.

Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi became more determined.

At the same time, there is also a greater yearning for power.

If one day he could become a captain of the imperial guards like his master and hold great power, then what would the Qingcheng Sect be?
So, no matter how powerful Yu Canghai is, can he be more powerful than Master, or the thousand Jinyiwei under Master's command?!

Jiang Xuan naturally had no idea of ​​Lin Pingzhi's mood changes.

After entering Changzhou City, the few of them found an inn, had something to eat, and then stayed in the inn.

night.

In the room.

Lin Pingzhi casually treated his injuries, changed into clean clothes, and went to Jiang Xuan's room to pay his respects.

"Disciple Lin Pingzhi pays respects to Master!"

Lin Pingzhi looked respectful and knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Xuan.

Firstly, it was to thank Jiang Xuan for saving his life; secondly, it was also a formal initiation ceremony.

"Get up."

Jiang Xuan sat on the stool and waved his hand calmly. After Lin Pingzhi stood up, he said, "Tell me about your experience."

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Pingzhi bowed respectfully and then began to narrate his experience.

As Jiang Xuan knew, his fate remained the same. Because of his family's unique sword skill, the Sword of Exorcism, the Fuwei Escort Agency was destroyed by the Qingcheng Sect.

While being taken to the Qingcheng Sect, he managed to escape with the help of Huashan Lao Denuo and Yue Lingshan.

It happened that Liu Zhengfeng, a famous martial arts master of Hengshan School, held a "washing his hands in a golden basin" ceremony and invited all martial arts schools to witness it. So Lin Pingzhi disguised himself and went to Hengshan, hoping to ask the martial arts schools to uphold justice and rescue his parents.

The only difference is that on the way he learned the reason why the Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out, but his identity was accidentally exposed and he was targeted by various martial arts sects.

Later, something went wrong during the "washing hands in the golden basin" ceremony. Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect took strong action, accusing Liu Zhengfeng of having an affair with Qu Yang, an elder of the evil sect "Sun and Moon Sect", and wiped out Liu Zhengfeng's entire family, shocking all the sects.

During this chaotic moment, Lin Pingzhi took the opportunity to escape with the help of Huashan's senior disciple Linghu Chong and others.

At the same time, he also learned from Linghu Chong that his parents had been tortured to death by Yu Canghai. Before their death, they told him that the family's unique skills were hidden in the old house in Xiangyang Lane, Fuzhou.

So Lin Pingzhi suppressed his grief and fled all the way to Fuzhou, wanting to see with his own eyes what kind of profound martial arts the "Bixie Sword Manual" that countless martial artists coveted and fought for was.

Unexpectedly, Yu Canghai did not give up, but sent his men including the 'Four Beauties of Qingcheng' to hunt him down.

On the way, he attracted a master of the same level as Yu Canghai, 'Saibei Mingtu' Mu Gaofeng, who followed him secretly and arrived at Changzhou City in advance to intercept him.

Then, he met Jiang Xuan and others and what happened.

After listening to Lin Pingzhi's story, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

The Book of the Sword of Exorcism was not originally a very advanced martial art, but one of Lin Ping's ancestors had used this sword to sweep across the martial arts world, overwhelming the Qingcheng, Five Mountains and other sects.

So, after that man's death and the gradual decline of the Fuwei Escort Agency, this martial art attracted the covetousness of various factions.

The first to take action was the Qingcheng Sect.

Because the founder of Qingcheng Sect, Chang Qingzi, was defeated by Lin Yuantu, the ancestor of the Lin family.

In order to wash away this shame, Yu Canghai used the story that his son Yu Renyan was killed by Lin Pingzhi to wipe out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency.

Of course, the main purpose is to obtain this "Sword Manual of Exorcism".

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xuan looked at Lin Pingzhi and asked, "What are your plans?"
