Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 53 Rescuing People
After the young man in brocade clothes fell into the lake, he began to struggle and paddle desperately towards the shore.
After swimming less than twenty zhang, the young man in brocade robes visibly slowed down.
The crowd standing on the shore pointed and whispered, lamenting and exclaiming, but none of them were prepared to take action to rescue the person.
After all, they had no relation to the boy, and there was no reason for them to offend those ruthless black-clad assassins just for a moment of kindness.
Seeing this, the young man in brocade robes, already feeling exhausted, immediately remembered the guard's words and shouted loudly to the crowd on the shore:
"Quick! Someone, someone save me! I am Lu Xuan, the second young master of the Lu family! Whoever rescues me will be richly rewarded by the Lu family!"
Upon hearing the young man in brocade reveal his identity, the crowd erupted in uproar.
"That young man is actually the second young master of the Lu family!?"
"Heavens! Who on earth has the audacity to chase after Young Master Lu in Sheng'an City!"
"Young Master Lu, don't worry, I'm coming to your rescue!"
"We martial artists roam the world, how can we stand by and watch someone die! Young Master Lu, don't be afraid, I'm coming to your rescue!"
……
The scene immediately became noisy, and many people jumped into the water as soon as they heard Lu Xuan's identity. A few people with good martial arts skills used their lightness skills to walk on the water and rush towards Lu Xuan.
As Qi Changqing watched these creatures, whether flying or swimming, rapidly approaching Lu Xuan, his intuition told him that things were not so simple.
Although the assassins in black on the pleasure boat were still fighting with the two guards, it shouldn't be difficult for one of them to go after Lu Xuan.
But at this moment, after seeing Lu Xuan about to be rescued, these black-clad assassins still chose to remain indifferent, which seemed rather strange.
As Qi Changqing pondered in confusion, he suddenly heard several screams coming from the lake. Then he saw the four martial artists who were confident in their skills and were flying on water fall into the lake one after another, leaving pools of blood that spread with the ripples.
This sudden turn of events caused the onlookers on the shore to scream in alarm, and some of the more timid ones even turned and fled the scene.
Qi Changqing turned his gaze to the pavilion on the painted boat, where there were definitely more masters hidden!
These martial artists who fell into the lake halfway were most likely killed by the hidden master using concealed weapons.
This is a case of making an example of someone!
Looking again, those who had been swimming towards Lu Xuan in the water were now indeed turning around in a panic, desperately swimming towards the shore.
Even if the rewards from the Lu family are incredibly attractive, you still need to be alive to receive them.
Qi Changqing looked at Lu Xuan, who was exhausted and struggling in the water, calling for help. He hesitated.
He wanted to save people, but the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. If he went over there so openly, his fate would not be much better than that of the four martial artists who were shot down on the way.
If he doesn't help, he will feel uneasy.
"If only the gentleman were here!"
But if we go back now to inform the master to come and rescue him, Lu Xuan will probably have already drowned in the lake.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was almost exhausted from struggling, Qi Changqing made a decision in his heart!
The person must be saved, or rather, regardless of whether the rescue is successful, he must try!
Qi Changqing quickly glanced at his surroundings. When he saw the large expanse of lush lotus leaves that stretched high above the water near the lake shore, an idea suddenly came to him.
At this moment, those who had swum back the way they came were climbing ashore. Qi Changqing seized the opportunity, easily passed through the crowd, came to the shore, chose a secluded spot with lotus leaves as cover, took a deep breath, and lightly jumped into the lake.
After jumping into the lake, Qi Changqing first pinpointed Lu Xuan's location, then dived down and swam over to him.
He refused to believe that even if he hid underwater, the expert hiding on the pleasure boat could still see him.
Qi Changqing soon spotted Lu Xuan's figure underwater.
At this moment, Lu Xuan had exhausted all his strength, stopped struggling and calling for help, and was slowly sinking.
Qi Changqing dared not delay any longer and immediately swam over, grabbed Lu Xuan who was sinking, and began to swim back quickly along the same route.
Since he started practicing the "Everlasting Spring Skill," his endurance has become far beyond that of ordinary people. He can hold his breath underwater for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn without any problem.
He could stay underwater for so long, but Lu Xuan, who had already lost consciousness, could not. He had to pull Lu Xuan ashore as quickly as possible, or his life would be in danger.
The crowd gathered on the shore sighed as they watched Lu Xuan sink into the lake.
The battle on the pleasure boat ended at this point with the deaths of two guards.
With the excitement over, the crowd, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
When Qi Changqing pulled Lu Xuan ashore, they caught the crowd dispersing, and immediately seized the opportunity to blend into the flow of people.
In order to escape this place more quickly, Qi Changqing carried Lu Xuan, who was half a head taller than him, on his back as soon as he got ashore, and used his internal energy to dry their hair and clothes.
Just as Qi Changqing thought he had shaken off the group of assassins in black and successfully rescued the person, screams and exclamations suddenly rang out behind him.
Qi Changqing's heart sank, and he immediately had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as he turned his head to look back, the crowd behind him, which had been so dense, was now spreading out to the sides. Looking towards the painted boat, he saw a figure fly out of the pavilion and head straight for the lake shore.
The person who flew in was wearing a dark purple satin brocade robe embroidered with gold thread. His black hair was tied up high with a golden crown. Because he was wearing a human skin mask, his appearance could not be seen clearly, but judging from his figure and hairstyle, he should be a man.
Seeing that this person could fly a hundred feet through the air without needing any assistance, Qi Changqing knew that he was a master.
This must be the person who shot and killed those four martial artists earlier!
Qi Changqing couldn't understand where he had gone wrong, which allowed this person to discover his mistake.
But now is clearly not the time to dwell on this matter; the other party is obviously targeting him and Lu Xuan.
With Lu Xuan on his back, there was absolutely no way he could outrun this person, so he had no choice but to fight!
Qi Changqing immediately threw the unconscious Lu Xuan to a kind-hearted person nearby, borrowed a long sword from another person, and took the initiative to rush towards the purple-clad man who had just arrived at the lake shore.
To soar through the air requires sufficient internal strength as support, and it can only be performed by masters who have reached the highest level of skill.
Although this man in purple had reached the first-class level, he did not give Qi Changqing the same sense of danger as when the Blood Demon Cui Kaishan had come.
More than a month has passed since his battle with Cui Kaishan, and he has already made a small breakthrough in his cultivation, reaching the late stage of the second-rate level.
Although the gap between the late stage of second-rate and first-rate is still very large, Qi Changqing has the support of the peerless sword technique "Seven Star Absolute Pulse Sword". Even if he can't defeat this purple-clothed man, he believes he can still hold him off for a moment.
Qi Changqing now only hopes that Lu Xuan's reinforcements will arrive quickly while he is fighting the man in purple; otherwise, he will really have no way to deal with it.
Although he saved Lu Xuan, he wouldn't risk his life for Lu Xuan, who was a complete stranger to him. If no reinforcements arrived in a critical moment, he would have no choice but to abandon Lu Xuan and retreat.
