Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming was searching for information about Sky Water Sword on the Internet.
He was very surprised that Xiao-Xiaojian could leave the Original Card. After all, once all the spirit bodies integrated, they would become card spirits by default!
If they could leave …
Would it bring danger to the Sword Card Masters?
Betrayal?
Risks?
He had to consider this!
Afterward, after the research of Xiao Bai, Li Haoran and the rest, they finally confirmed that after the spirit bodies integrated with the Original Card, they had basically integrated into one!
The spirit was the card and the card was the spirit!
Leave?
No way!
Xiao-Xiaojian was just a special case. Or rather, the reason for this was the ancient Excalibur, Sky Water Sword!!!
Inside …
It involved a field that he had never understood.
The level of the ancient Excalibur was too high. It was beyond Lu Ming's understanding!
What right did it have to make Xiao-Xiaojian go back? What method did it use to make Xiao-Xiaojian go back? What level of power did it use?
This was a hidden danger that had to be resolved!
And …
What was the secret of Sky Water Sword and the so-called talent?
Lu Ming wanted to know.
Hence …
That day, Lu Ming was preparing for this battle.
…
That afternoon.
An old lady suddenly came to his door, saying that her son liked the Sword Card Master Association very much. In order to join the association, he went to the suburbs to seek a breakthrough and went missing.
The police refused to accept the case. She had no choice but to seek help from Lu Ming.
Oh?
Lu Ming somewhat understood now.
Was this the idea that guy came up with?
It was really …
It was too stupid!
"Master, I'll send someone to take a look."
Li Haoran said.
"No need.
"The association still needs you. The suburbs are not far. I'll go and take a look myself."
Lu Ming said.
Upon finishing his words …
He got the address from the old lady and left.
Of course.
He had made proper preparations before heading out this time.
Although he was very disappointed that the old man's luring tactic was such a bad idea, since it was a scheme within a scheme, he had to cooperate with him.
However …
To his surprise …
When he was in the suburbs, he really found a young cultivator who was seeking a breakthrough. He saved him and brought him back to the association.
"Son!"
With tears in her eyes, the old lady hugged her son and kowtowed to Lu Ming to thank him.
"Greetings, senior."
The young man was excited and nervous. "I-I'm your fan."
？？？
Lu Ming was dumbfounded.
Wait a minute …
It was actually true?!
"This is very common."
Li Haoran looked at Lu Ming's expression and reminded him in a low voice, "After our association entered the top 100, we are considered to have some fame. There are also more cultivators who are willing to join us. They will think of all sorts of ways to join the association, so we usually have professionals to handle such matters."
Li Haoran was also very surprised.
It was true.
Wasn't Master cultivating in seclusion? Why would he waste such precious time on this?
"…"
Lu Ming was silent.
Oh.
It turned out that he was thinking too much.
At this moment.
Hum –
The wristband vibrated.
An unfamiliar message appeared on Lu Ming's communication device — "Lu Ming, a disciple of the Sword Card Master Association is with me now. Please bring the one million yuan ransom to me alone!"
"If you call the police, kill the hostage on the spot!"
"If you tell anyone else, kill the hostage!"
"If you don't come …"
"Haha, bear the consequences!"
Of course.
In view of Lu Ming's previous record of blacklisting, there was a picture attached to the message.
A disciple of the Sword Card Master Association was tied up and hung in an unknown cave. There was a burning bonfire at his feet.
Yes.
This was a disciple of the Sword Card Master Association!
This guy actually kidnapped a disciple of the Sword Card Master Association to threaten Lu Ming!
Obviously …
Although he felt that Lu Ming was kind, he did not treat Lu Ming as a fool. Therefore, he deliberately kidnapped a disciple of the Sword Card Master Association who was out!
"…"
Lu Ming was dumbstruck when he saw the picture.
Oh …
It turned out that this was their plan?
This …
Was this the right method?
Right!
Was this method reliable?
It was!
No matter what, he had kidnapped a disciple of the Sword Card Master Association. Given Lu Ming's' kind and handsome 'image, he had to save this disciple!
Theoretically, there was no problem.
The problem was that this guy kidnapped the disciple …
Obviously …
In order to get Lu Ming to save the disciple as soon as possible and in order to prevent Lu Ming from calling the police or getting into an accident, he kidnapped a popular female disciple …
In that case …
There was a problem.
Who was the most popular female disciple of the Sword Card Master Association?
That was right!
The disciple in the picture who was kidnapped and hung upside down for a barbecue was the spy from the Snow Mountain Sect that Lu Ming had yet to deal with!
→_→
Ever since this lady was exposed, she had been under Li Haoran's surveillance.
According to Li Haoran's plan, as this lady was very popular among the disciples and the Snow Mountain Sect was already gone, there was no need to deal with her directly!
It was quite good to let her be a mascot to stimulate the disciples' cultivation.
Therefore …
She had been staying in the association and working as a programmer.
Who would have thought …
He was taken away just like that?!
Wait a minute.
Wasn't this lady under surveillance?
Why did she go out?
Just as Lu Ming was feeling puzzled, Li Haoran received a report from his subordinates and his expression changed drastically. "Master, something big has happened. The spy has escaped!"
"Escaped?"
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
"Yes."
Li Haoran's expression was grave. "According to the surveillance footage, she created a shadow avatar and deceived the security guards, the disciples, and Mister Qin who was guarding the door …"
Li Haoran exclaimed.
He had been monitoring this lady very closely, but he did not expect that …
A self-created ability!
Yes.
He himself had forgotten about this point!
This lady joined the association as a super genius!
She was extremely talented!
Therefore, after learning a little about the Sword Card Master Association, she created her own ability and deceived the surveillance footage, successfully escaping from the Sword Card Master Association!
Lu Ming was speechless.
He looked at Li Haoran's report and the message on his wristband communication device and was deep in his thoughts.
Therefore …
This lady was kidnapped by the enemy after working so hard to escape from the Sword Card Master Association …
→_→
What else could he say?
"However …
"It's still alright.
"She escaped in a hurry and did not bring anything with her."
Li Haoran continued to report. "As she was under surveillance, she did not obtain any information. However, I'm afraid those disciples will be sad."
"It's okay.
"Let me handle this."
Lu Ming said.
"Understood."
Li Haoran did not reject him.
He reckoned that Master might be too bored cultivating alone. Therefore, he came out to do some missions to relieve his boredom, adjust his mind, and find some fun in life.
Hence …
He left after finishing his report.
Lu Ming looked at the message on his wristband and sighed.
This lady …
She was too unlucky.
She was simply the most pitiful undercover in history?
Cough.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Ming was not interested in rescuing an undercover disciple who harbored evil intentions. After all, it was useless no matter how good her figure was and how pretty she was.
Lu Ming was not the kind of person who would let white worms get to his head!
But now …
Thanks to Xiao-Xiaojian's efforts, Lu Ming did not mind making a trip.
Hence …
Lu Ming brought one million yuan into the suburbs and walked to the designated location.
He was alone.
Over there …
There was only a stretch of lonely wilderness.
Buzz —
The wristband vibrated.
The wristband changed the location for Lu Ming.
Lu Ming shrugged and walked over nonchalantly. After three to four times, the other party seemed to be checking if anyone was following him before confirming the final location.
Right then.
The sky had darkened.
…
Deep in the suburbs.
A certain cave.
A blazing fire was burning.
That female disciple was hanging upside down on the bonfire. Her exquisite face was filled with remorse. The dark eye mask on her face could not stop the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Sob, sob, sob. If I had known that this would happen, I would not have escaped!
Would Lu Ming save her?
How was that possible!
Although outsiders praised Lu Ming to be almost perfect, she was the only one who knew that apart from his looks, everything else was fake!
Kindness, righteousness, passion …
They were all fake!
According to her intuition as an undercover, Lu Ming was vicious and merciless. He was very vengeful. He would even scam seniors like the chief of operations and dean!
If you offended him, he would demolish your house!
If you insulted him, he would demolish your house!
If you provoked him, he would demolish your house!
Kindness?
No way!
This kind of person was the devil in the true sense!
Offend him?
You wouldn't even know how you died!
Why did she escape?
In fact, life in the Sword Card Master Association was quite good.
There were people to accompany her when she ate and when she cultivated. Besides the surveillance of the Sword Card Master Association, she basically had everything she wanted. She could even start a harem if she wanted to!
However …
She was afraid!
She had a nagging feeling that Lu Ming would kill her sooner or later.
Why was she still alive?
This was because the group of disciples in the Sword Card Master Association were all young students and single dogs!
Although they were extremely talented, they were the kind of people who were easily deceived and cheated in society. Unknowingly, they would become lackeys!
Therefore …
In order to prevent this group of disciples from being scammed in the future!
In order to prevent this group of disciples from committing suicide by jumping off a building!
In order to prevent this group of disciples from being fooled in the future!
Lu Ming deliberately left her in the Sword Card Master Association so that she could help the group of single otakus to gain experience in love!!!
That was right!
She was an experience baby!
These disciples had to experience love, be hurt, be a spare tire and realize in advance that love was not reliable. They would then mature …
Therefore …
She was very clear.
The moment she became useless was the moment of her death!
Lu Ming was a devil who could not even resist a young lady like Xiao Bai. It was impossible for him to let her off!
Therefore …
She had painstakingly planned and finally succeeded in escaping from the Sword Card Master Association! However, she did not expect that she would be captured at this time!
She was even used as a hostage!
"I'm done for!"
Her entire body turned cold.
The blazing bonfire could not warm her cold heart.
Wait for Lu Ming?
There was no way!
She could only rely on herself!
"D-don't kill me, alright?"
She said, feeling aggrieved.
"This will depend on whether Lu Ming is cooperative."
The elder smiled sinisterly.
True enough, he did not capture the wrong lady!
Look.
Lu Ming rushed over as soon as he received the news! Tsk tsk. True enough, young people nowadays had no way to resist such a figure!
It was a pity …
It was time to teach Lu Ming that lackeys would die a horrible death.
"He won't come."
She said in a desolate tone.
"Then only death awaits you."
The elder's expression was indifferent.
"I-I can accompany you."
The lady begged.
"Humph!
"Childish!"
The elder sneered and said proudly, "In order to reach seven-star and to resist the temptation, I severed my mortal roots decades ago."
？？？
The lady was in despair.
She knew that she might not survive that night.
…
Beside the bonfire.
The elder looked into the distance calmly.
He calculated the time.
It was about time …
Lu Ming.
He should be here.
True enough.
Just at this moment, as the sky darkened, a familiar figure was coming from the mountain road in the distance. It was the president of the Sword Card Master Association, Lu Ming!
The elder looked at the internet map.
That was right.
It was him.
At this very moment …
Above the bonfire, the lady, who was waiting for death in despair, seemed to see a familiar figure coming from afar through the edge of the dark blindfold.
The light was very weak.
She could only see a little.
However …
That familiar figure …
Apart from Lu Ming, she could see the unparalleled good looks through the slit in the corner of his eyes!
Lu Ming was really here to save her!
How could that be possible?
Lu Ming …
He was actually willing to save her?
The lady could not believe it.
However …
Looking at the approaching figure and the unparalleled good looks, apart from Lu Ming, who else could it be?!
"President!!!"
The lady was so touched that she was in tears.
…
At this very moment …
As Lu Ming approached, the elder's expression became increasingly grave.
He had sealed the Sky Water Sword in its scabbard. When the Excalibur returned to its scabbard, it was just an ordinary sword. This was to prevent the sword spirit from communicating with Lu Ming.
The kidnapping was merely a pretense!
His real goal was the secret skill of the Art of Equalization!
Therefore …
In order to prevent Lu Ming from discovering his goal, he felt that he should be more like a kidnapper.
Fortunately, before he came, he specially emphasized in a professional guide called "Three Years of Theft, Five Years of Kidnapping": First, put a blindfold on the hostage! He could not let the hostage see his face clearly! Second, he had to change the location and make sure that no one was following him! Third, he had to learn how to use slang related to kidnapping.
In this way, he would appear more professional.
Hence …
He said calmly, "You're here."
？？？
Lu Ming was a little dazed.
Damn!
What kind of slang was this?
Wait a minute.
Could it be that there was a tacit agreement between kidnapping and being kidnapped? In order to make himself more like a family member of a hostage, he had checked the information!
Well …
He had to try his best to be in line with the kidnapper!
Hence …
He pondered deeply for a moment and said, "I'm here."
"You shouldn't have come."
"I'm already here."
"Yes, you're here after all."
"Yes, I'm here after all."
Shush!
There was total silence around them.
After a long while …
Lu Ming suddenly sighed. "Not only am I here, but I also feel that our conversation is very lame. Do you guys use slang like this when you kidnap people?"
"…"
The elder pondered deeply for a moment and suddenly felt that it was too lame.
True enough.
The experience of the ancient seniors was no longer useful …
These days …
It was not only the Swordsman lineage that needed to be reformed. Even the way they robbed had to be reformed. If they did not keep up with the times, they would be eliminated sooner or later!
Hence …
The two of them stopped the lame conversation.
"Where's the money?"
The elder squinted his eyes.
"I brought it."
Lu Ming said calmly.
"Bring it over."
The elder spoke.
"Release the hostage first."
Lu Ming looked toward the lady on the bonfire.
"Impossible!"
The elder rejected decisively.
What a joke.
If he released the hostage now, what if Lu Ming turned around and ran away?
"I don't believe you. What if you kill the hostage after I give you the money?"
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
"I don't believe you either."
The elder had the same attitude.
Of course.
As the person in charge of the hostage, he felt that he had the upper hand. Therefore, he added more fuel to the bonfire. The flames surged instantly.
Whoosh —
Whoosh —
The flames surged.
The lady's body suddenly became hot.
"I'm not paying.
"She will die."
The elder smiled faintly.
"Kill the hostage then."
Lu Ming felt that it was a pity. "Indeed, I'm not suitable to save people."
The elder was speechless.
The lady was speechless.
Brother, why are you so casual?!
"Ridiculous.
"Do you think I will believe you?"
The elder felt that it was ridiculous.
He had specially come here for this lady. Yet, like in a television drama, he insisted that he did not care so that he would let his guard down?
He would then save this lady when he was not paying attention!
Were you stupid or was he stupid?
Therefore …
Not only did he not let his guard down, but he also secretly focused 90% of his energy on the lady, guarding against every possible way of saving the hostage.
"Lu Ming.
"Don't be so childish …"
Shush!
Lights and shadows flashed.
A dark shadow suddenly emerged from the darkness.
True enough, there was someone else!
The elder sneered!
He had long been on guard against someone coming to save this lady. Therefore, he took action immediately. However, when he slashed with his sword, he realized that something was wrong …
Pfft!
The figure was pierced by him but it raised its head, revealing a dark shadow.
This was …
A shadow!!!
Pfft!
The shadow ignored the attack and slashed with his sword. He tried to block it in a hurry but was shocked to discover that Lu Ming had also attacked at this moment.
Pfft!!
There was a flash of blood.
The elder looked at the blood lotus blossoming in front of his chest in horror.
It was hateful!
That damn shadow had made a move to save the lady, but it joined forces with Lu Ming to attack him!
One slash!
It was a serious injury!
"You!"
The elder was shocked and furious.
It was until this moment that he noticed the cold glint in Lu Ming's eyes.
It was until this moment that he realized that Lu Ming really did not care about this disciple! Lu Ming did not care about the lady's life at all!!!
Very well!
Since you don't care about her life, I will kill you!
The elder was not a kind person either.
You don't care about this lady?
Very well.
I will kill you then.
However …
At this moment.
He was acutely aware that Lu Ming's gaze swept past the lady who was hung up and eventually landed on his waist, on the sealed Sky Water Sword!
This gaze …
"Oh no!"
The elder instantly realized the problem.
Lu Ming!
He was here for the Sky Water Sword!
Judging from his gaze, he had definitely seen or recognized the Sky Water Sword before! This gaze was exactly the same as when he had looked up information on the Sky Water Sword!
He had been fooled!
He realized that things were not looking good. He could not even be bothered to kill the lady and retreated immediately!
However …
It was too late.
Bang!
Bang!
Beams of sword gleams landed.
Lu Ming's figure exploded and the shadow attacked.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Sanguine light shone from the elder.
Initially, he had the absolute advantage as a peak Six Stars. However, after being seriously injured by Lu Ming, his combat ability had dropped significantly and the impact was huge!
Unless …
He instinctively tightened his grip on the Sky Water Sword but then loosened his grip.
It was not the time yet!!!
He was a peak Six Stars!
Did he really think that he could win just because he had the advantage of sneak attacks?
Hehe.
Lu Ming …
The elder squinted his eyes.
Bang!
There was a flash of blood.
His figure turned into a flash of blood and dashed back to the cave.
"Thinking of leaving?"
There was a cold glint in Lu Ming's eyes.
Since he was here to kill and snatch the sword, how could he give the elder a chance to rest?! Hence, he dashed forward and chased after him.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Two beams of cold light disappeared in the dark night.
The murderous intent had appeared!
…
Cheez —
Cheez —
On the bonfire.
A lady was sweating profusely as she was roasted by the bonfire.
？？？
The lady looked dazed.
She was wearing a blindfold and could only see a faint light at the corner of her eyes. Sometimes, she was looking in the wrong direction. Therefore, she had no idea what had happened!
She only knew that a battle had suddenly erupted and then there was no movement.
Where was he?
She had no idea.
There was no sound from Lu Ming and the elder.
She was somewhat confused.
It was true.
Wasn't this a kidnapping case …
She was the main character!
Be it killing the hostage or saving the hostage … Shouldn't the confrontation revolve around her?! Both of them did not care about her. What the hell?!
"President?!
"Are you there?
"Old man??
"Is the hostage worthless now that she is dead?!"
The lady was in tears.
Someone come!
Which kidnapping case did not care about the hostage?!
Why were the kidnappers and the victim's family members so unprofessional?!
Someone come!
She was almost roasted!
Wu wu wu …
