Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

"Lu Baijie?"

"Greetings, 'Master Yu Jian'!" Lu Baijie was neither humble nor arrogant. After a slight bow, he continued:

"The Lu family was in the wrong today, and several people deserved to die."

"But you killed someone in front of the gate, so Bai Jie needs to return the favor!"

"You are no match for me!" Zhao Xu asked with a little surprise.

Lu Baijie said solemnly:

"This is about the Lu family, I have to take action!"

"I have learned the family traditions of the Lu family, a noble family and the leader of Yangzhou, today." Zhao Xu laughed in silence after hearing this. Then he was silent for a moment and said:

"Among all the people in the Lu family at this moment, only you, Lu Baijie, are worthy of my attention. Make your move!"

Hearing Zhao Xu asking him to take action, Lu Baijie's face became solemn, and he took an ancient long sword from the sword-holding servant behind him.

Ebony scabbard, South China Sea dragon skin.

Generally, famous swords would have a chilling aura, but the sword in his hand, sheathed in the scabbard, had no chill at all.

"Tangxi Ancient Sword is a good sword!" Zhao Xu was not stingy with his praise for these good swords.

With the long sword in hand, Lu Baijie sighed: "I was given the ancient sword Baxiu when I was eleven years old. I have been practicing sword for more than thirty years. Today, I can use this sword to meet a master like you. Baijie is happy!"

Lu Baijie studied under the famous kendo master Yang Yuzhang.

This person is a fanboy of Li Chungang. It is often said that with two green snakes in his sleeves, he can dominate the martial arts world for fifty years.

Although he was not as good as those true geniuses in swordplay, he still received high praise from Li Chungang, who praised his swordplay as unique.

"Zhi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Baijie touched the scabbard with his two fingers again, and the famous sword came out of the scabbard.

The azure blue edge is dazzling.

Tangxi's sword intent is upright and majestic, spreading in all directions.

"Tangxi Sword Immortal actually took action!"

Many accomplished practitioners in Yangchun City were all shocked when they sensed the sword intent.

What kind of opponent could make Lu Baijie draw his sword himself?

The sword's name contains "霸", but its meaning reveals the kingly way, breaking free from the shackles. Zhao Xu admires it slightly.

One man and one sword rushed forward in an instant and came close to Zhao Xu. The tip of the sword was shining with azure aura, looming and revealing its sharp edge.

"Good!" Zhao Xu praised loudly. Although they were not at the same level, every swordsman who could practice sword energy deserved praise.

He stood still, stretched out his right hand, used his finger as a sword, and pointed at the tip of Ba Xiu's sword.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment, and Zhao Xu applied a little more force, and the sword of this ancient inherited sword of treasure level was bent into a large arc.

The situation was hopeless, so Lu Baijie withdrew his sword and gathered his strength to strike out twelve more swords.

"Ding ding..."

Zhao Xu stood still. No matter which direction the attacks came from, he was bounced back by the light flicks of his fingertips.

After a moment, blood flowed from the corner of Lu Baijie's mouth.

He stood still with the sword in his hand, the sword trembling constantly, the knuckles cracked, and blood was visible.

Each time Zhao Xu flicked his fingertips just now, it seemed like just one flick, but in fact, there was a change in the profound power of his fingers, and he flicked dozens of times in an instant.

In order not to affect the surroundings, Lu Baijie relied on himself to withstand the changes in the force.

Zhao Xu stood still and said with a smile: "With great integrity, Tangxi has already mastered the essence of swordsmanship!"

The Lu family of Huting has seven daughters, six of whom are legitimate and one is illegitimate. Lu Baijie was born a illegitimate son and is twenty years younger than the eldest legitimate son, Lu Daolin.

He is gifted, but not keen on the Confucian three immortalities. He is indifferent, not interested in fame and fortune, and has always been obsessed with practicing swordsmanship.

Although he comes from such a family, he has his own persistence.

Zhao Xu still had a good impression of this outlier among the wealthy family.

"Sir, please hand over your sword today!" Lu Baijie, who had stabilized himself, ignored his injuries and once again raised his sword to attack Zhao Xu.

The Tangxi Sword Immortal was obviously unwilling to not let his opponent use his sword.

"Well!" Zhao Xu sighed lightly, and waved his right hand in front of him. A dark blue ice sword floated in front of him.

With the long sword in hand, although the sword intent is restrained, the sharpness within it still infects people's hearts.

"Uncle, Master Zhao!"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps, accompanied by shouting, made the two of them feel stagnant.

"Want to see you again?"

"Please go ahead and draw your sword, sir!" Lu Baijie gathered his spirits and spoke with a firm attitude.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu no longer hesitated, and casually raised his sword and slashed it diagonally.

The restrained and powerful sword intent burst out in an instant.

In Yangchun City, all the long swords vibrated and the swords roared like dragons.

"Boom!"

Lu Baijie was shocked and stood still, unable to react at all.

The dazzling sword energy passed by his side and then rushed towards the sky.

Leisurely Baiyun, before he realized it, had been cut into two halves.

Xu Zhihu came to the door, and Zhao Xu's Ice Sword was just in time to come out.

Her heart tightened for a moment, and then she saw the sword energy passing by Lu Baijie's side, and then she calmed down.

Afterwards, Xu Zhihu fully witnessed the power of this sword.

She stood there in a daze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

"Are you okay?" Xu Zhihu came to his senses, came to Lu Baijie and asked softly.

In the entire Lu family, only Lu Baijie and Xu Zhihu were truly close. He did not marry or have children, so he treated Xu Zhihu as a half-daughter.

In Jiangnan Road and even in Liyang, many people were targeting Xu Zhihu, which was why her husband did not have a good ending.

Marrying in Jiangnan was her third marriage. Even with the Lu family's wealth, her husband Lu Qingquan still could not escape the fate of dying suddenly before the wedding chamber.

This made her bear the stigma of being a jinx and made Lu Xuanlang and his wife hate her.

As a result, there were many signs of trouble from Xu Zhihu in the Lu Mansion, but fortunately they were all secretly suppressed by Lu Baijie.

Otherwise, the Lu family would be in such a mess now.

Of course, Lu Baijie acted partly for the peace and stability of the Lu family.

At this moment, Lu Baijie also recovered from the shock brought by Zhao Xu's sword.

He nodded to show that he was fine, and then said with a slight sigh:

"Today I finally understand what a sword immortal's sword is. 'Tangxi Sword Immortal' is really a frog in a well!"

Lu Baijie was fine, so Xu Zhihu began to observe Zhao Xu carefully, and soon a strange light flashed in his eyes.

In her heart, she was secretly happy for her second sister Xu Weixiong. The man in front of her was of top quality. The sword he just used showed that he had profound cultivation and great strength, and he was fully capable of protecting her.

"Young Master Zhao is Wei Xiong's friend. He came to visit me but encountered such a thing. It's Zhihu's fault!" Xu Zhihu took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself. Naturally, he didn't want this matter to continue to escalate.

"This matter has nothing to do with the eldest princess!" Zhao Xu replied softly, his tone softened and also meant to slow down.

Xu Zhihu understood what was going on, and as he glanced at the many servants who followed him out, he said with great authority, "Young Master Zhao is my honored guest, why don't you open the main door and welcome him in!"

"Why don't you do it!" Lu Baijie was worried that Xu Zhihu didn't have enough prestige, so he immediately followed up with another sentence.

"Yes!" Although Lu Baijie lived in seclusion, immersed in cultivation and rarely showed up, his identity was there, and a group of servants quickly responded.

"No need!" Zhao Xu suddenly stopped him, and then he looked at the middle door and said faintly: "Since this middle door dares to block us, I think it's better to change it!"

As soon as the words fell, countless sword energies emerged and gathered into a sword energy tornado. The middle door instantly turned into smoke and dust and drifted everywhere.

Everyone was shocked.
