The Land of the Fallen.
Lu Ming frowned as he looked at the communication device.
The signal …
It was gone.
He knew about the Swordsman Association's requirement for the signal. Therefore, there was only one possibility for this situation — Someone had demolished the signal tower.
Team Meng and the team were not in the same direction as the signal tower.
It could only be an outsider!
And the people who could enter this place …
Swordsman!
Only their own people could enter! And like them, they had to be surrounded by the Seven Star Swordsman's sword gleams to succeed!
Therefore …
"Internal strife?"
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
It seemed that the conservatives would not give in so easily.
“？？？”
Xiao-Xiaojian listened to Lu Ming's analysis in a daze. Wait a minute. There was only one signal tower that was demolished. How did you contact the conservatives to retaliate?!
"What did you think of just now?"
Lu Ming looked into the distance.
"Uh —"
Xiao-Xiaojian thought about what it said just now. "Damn it. The trashy operator is using the server to download short movies again?"
"…"
Lu Ming glanced at it and sighed.
Forget it.
There was no hope.
He could not count on this guy to be his think tank.
Rubbish.
However …
Come to think of it …
Although the enemies had entered, they were limited by their combat abilities. He reckoned that they were peak Six Stars! Well … Since it was an internal strife, these people were definitely much stronger than Meng Shisan's team.
Therefore …
"This is a little troublesome."
Lu Ming sighed.
Now that he had unleashed his full power under the enhancement of the cards, he could barely be considered an ordinary peak six-star! If he were to go up further, it would be difficult.
And the enemies could destroy the entire Swordsman team!
Such combat abilities …
They were not what Lu Ming could contend with.
Therefore …
There was only one choice left for Lu Ming — to go deep into the unknown area.
Only in that place, in that undeveloped area that no one knew about, could there be a chance of victory!
Furthermore …
He was certain that if Meng Shisan was smart enough, he would definitely think the same way.
Therefore …
Lu Ming quickly made a decision — to enter the unknown area immediately!
"…"
Xiao-Xiaojian was in a daze.
Wait a minute!
How was this connected?
"Xiao-Xiaojian."
"Eh?"
"Go back and read more books … Don't stay by Xiao Bai's side all day … Even if you can't read anymore, you can at least read some books …"
"Eh?"
Whoosh!
Sword light surged.
The man and the card disappeared into the sky.
…
The Land of the Fallen.
Somewhere.
Silhouettes appeared one after another. They were the Swordsman led by Meng Shisan.
At this moment, they looked battered and exhausted. They didn't have much clothes to begin with, and they hung on their bodies like strips of cloth. There were wounds all over their bodies.
"Damn it!"
"I knew there was something wrong with Old Man An, but I didn't expect him to bring in reinforcements. I'm going to kill this bastard sooner or later!"
Meng Shisan cursed.
They had just been besieged by a group of unknown Swordsman, and An Mingdong's betrayal had almost cost them their lives. After a few twists and turns, they had barely managed to escape!
Of course.
Most importantly, someone had blocked the sword for him.
Saying.
He weighed the person on his back — Xiaowu.
The enemy's plan was very thorough. They suddenly appeared and launched a surprise attack. At this critical juncture, An Mingdong suddenly betrayed them and killed him, the team leader!
He did not even have time to react!
However …
At this critical juncture …
Xiaowu, this child, had blocked the sword for him …
"Xiaowu …"
Meng Shisan said in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
"…"
Xiaowu's breathing was blurred.
"Xiaowu!!!"
Meng Shisan hollered. "Wake up! You can't sleep! We'll look for Lu Ming! He's a Card Creator. He definitely knows how to use Healing Cards. He can save you! "
"You can't sleep!"
Meng Shisan gritted his teeth. "Have you forgotten the purpose of this trip?!
"Have you forgotten …
"Did you say anything when you came?!
"You're here for the reward of this mission! You said that you want to earn money. Earn enough money to chase after the girl you like. Have you forgotten?!
"You said that she's worried about the poor sales of her grandfather's tea leaves …
"You have to stay alive and go back to buy tea leaves!
"Have you forgotten?"
Meng Shisan hollered.
"Tea leaves …"
Xiaowu sobered up a little.
That was right.
He had promised that girl that he would look for her when he returned this time! As long as he helped her to sell the tea leaves, she could look for him with a peace of mind!
At the thought of this …
His heart was filled with fighting spirit.
I …
I have to stay alive!
"Hang in there. We'll reach that area very soon."
Meng Shisan said.
"Okay."
Xiaowu felt the sword on his stomach.
It was painful.
This group of men in black … were really rude. It was not as comfortable as Lu Yan.
"Hang in there!"
Meng Shisan kept talking to him.
Suddenly …
He asked, "Why did you save me?"
He did not understand.
This was because they did not have a good relationship.
They only got to know each other at the beginning of this mission. It had only been a few days. This child actually blocked a sword for him!
He did not understand.
"Because …
"We only have hope if you're alive."
Xiaowu said in a low voice.
Meng Shisan was the team leader and he had the strongest combat ability.
If he were to die …
None of them would be able to escape. Therefore, when he discovered An Mingdong's attack, he went over without any hesitation. Of course, there was one more thing …
"Don't worry.
"I have experience.
"I-I'm used to being stabbed …
"Previously, I was stabbed by Lu Yan. I started to study it. It's safer and more comfortable to be stabbed from that angle."
Xiaowu grinned.
"…"
Meng Shisan perspired.
The new generation of Swordsman was growing at a very fast pace.
Hence …
The Swordsman had a hard time escaping to that area.
…
Somewhere.
An Mingdong's cold gaze swept across.
Meng Shisan had escaped. He was somewhat surprised. Who would have thought that the Swordsman who was obviously not familiar with Meng Shisan would block this sword for him!
It was a pity …
If he could kill Meng Shisan …
None of them would be able to escape!
"Can't you guys send more people over?"
An Mingdong looked at the men in black in front of him with some dissatisfaction.
"I've already reached my limit."
The men in black said in a low voice, "Do you know how difficult it is to send people in without the Swordsman's knowledge?!"
"Humph!"
An Mingdong snorted coldly.
"Right."
The men in black were puzzled. "I saw that there was one less person. Isn't there someone called Lu Ming …"
"Don't bother about him."
An Mingdong pursed his lips. "That idiot is only a five-star. As he is too weak, he is stuck in the ravine. Don't bother about him.
"Besides …
"It's good to keep him around.
"Once this matter is over, we will be able to account for it."
An Mingdong said.
"Okay."
The men in black nodded.
As for Lu Ming …
There was nothing to worry about.
Although this small world was huge, it was linear.
There was only one path from the entrance to the undeveloped area! If Lu Ming really chased after them, they would not be able to hide it from them. They would deal with him when the time came.
Well …
Eh?
One of the men in black suddenly looked at the sky.
"What's the matter?"
The person beside him asked.
"It's nothing."
The man in black shook his head.
This was strange …
Above …
Something seemed to have passed by earlier …
Was it an illusion?
Perhaps.
He took a closer look. Indeed, there was nothing.
Sword Kinesis Flight?
It was impossible!
Apart from extremely rare abilities, most people did not know how to fly!
Sword Kinesis Flight was exclusive to seven-star Swordsman. After all, the Sword Embryo was created by them. Ordinary energy could not activate it at all!
Could it be that they could use their left foot to step on their right foot and their right foot to step on their left foot to fly up?
"Let's go.
"This is an opportunity created by that senior …
"He deliberately slowed down the development process and left behind this area because he discovered that thing … We have to get it this time!"
An Mingdong sneered coldly.
"Understood!"
The men in black responded.
Hence …
The group of black figures also stepped into the unknown area.
…
In the unknown area.
It was above a towering mountain range.
After all …
The areas that had been developed had been flattened. The undeveloped areas were naturally the mountain range. There were snowstorms and traces of ferocious beasts.
And …
The energy was so dense that it was suffocating!
"We're here."
Meng Shisan and the group looked elated.
He turned back to look. The Swordsman could not take it anymore. Hence, he said in a low voice, "Everyone, let's take a break to recover our strength and energy before we set off."
"Okay."
Everyone recovered quickly.
Two Swordsman took the initiative to be on guard.
Very soon, An Mingdong and the group would catch up with them. They did not have much time left.
Buzz —
Faint energy dissipated.
After the energy was depleted, it recovered quickly. Everyone's ability had a slight increase.
However …
Everyone was not in high spirits. The sudden pursuit and the unknown development area … They could not see any hope … This time …
Could they really return alive?
And …
What was the motive of An Mingdong and the group?!
"Don't be afraid!"
Meng Shisan said in a low voice, "They are only slightly stronger than us. In this unknown area, it is hard to say who will be the one to kill who!"
"Right."
Xiaowu agreed.
This place was full of energy. He felt more energetic.
"Are you alright?"
Meng Shisan looked at him worriedly.
"Yes."
Xiaowu nodded. "Although it is still very serious, it has stopped worsening … I should be able to stabilize it. I will definitely be able to return alive!"
"Okay."
Meng Shisan felt gratified.
Looking at the low morale, he looked at one of the Swordsman companions. "Xiaowu wants to return alive … What about you? What's your dream? "
"My dream?"
The Swordsman was obviously stunned. He instinctively replied, "Of course, it's to rebuild my father's …"
"Forget it."
He rubbed his head. "This is the education that I received from a young age. In fact, I am not interested in my father's business. I only want to walk my own path!
"I want to cultivate in an upright manner!"
I want to travel the world alone, just like that friend of mine in my circle of friends.
She has traveled to all kinds of legacy sites.
"She's experienced and knowledgeable. She's very intellectual."
"She is my idol!"
The Swordsman was in high spirits.
"Oh?"
Meng Shisan encouraged him. "What is her name?"
"Mumu."
The Swordsman smiled faintly. Mumu was a very knowledgeable woman.
"…"
Meng Shisan's expression froze.
Mumu …
Mumu?!
Wait a minute.
Why did this name sound so familiar …
"Uh."
He paused for a moment. "Is she the kind of pretty lady who posts about her daily life in her circle of friends? What she bought, what she ate and what she saw?"
"Huh?"
The Swordsman was puzzled. "Do you know her as well?"
"Uh, no."
Meng Shisan paused for a moment. "This one here is called Lei Lei."
Eh?
The Swordsman beside him seemed to have thought of something. They immediately opened their WeChat Moments on their communication devices. When they opened their contact list, they were dumbstruck.
"I think … I have Lei Lei here as well."
"Mine is called Anna."
"Mine is called Little Beast."
“？？？”
The Swordsman were dumbstruck.
They curiously put their WeChat Moments together and compared them. They were shocked to discover that the WeChat Moments and the footsteps they took were the same?!
Shush!
The Swordsman fell silent.
Suddenly …
One of the Swordsman looked at his companion beside him. "What about you?"
"They added me but I deleted them …"
"Why did you delete them?! Raise them! "
"Raise?"
"That's right. The few of you are too low-level. Look at my mumu. He has already matured and started to sell his own things!"
"…"
Some of the sincere Swordsman lowered their heads silently.
It was heartbreaking.
"Yes, yes, yes."
One of the Swordsman was excited. "My Tiantian has also matured and started to sell tea leaves!"
？？？
Xiaowu, who was smiling and watching the fun, froze instantly.
Wait a minute …
Selling tea leaves?!
Shush!
He pulled that person over and stared at his communication device.
"I'm very happy to have met you. The days when I chat with you are the happiest days of my life. However, I'm sorry, I have to leave this place … Grandpa's health is not good and the thousands of gold tea leaves are not selling well. I've decided to stay in my hometown … I want Grandpa to finish his last journey happily …"
？？？
Xiaowu had a mental breakdown.
It was actually!
It was the same as his!
The same!
Therefore …
He suddenly understood.
As Swordsmen were also homebodies, they did not interact with many people. They would chat online during their breaks. Unexpectedly …
They were all liars!
At the thought of this, Xiaowu's face turned ashen.
His chest hurt.
It was more painful than when he was stabbed …
"Uh —"
Xiaowu collapsed weakly.
"Calm down! Calm down! "
Meng Shisan hurriedly held him down. "Xiaowu, don't be discouraged! Although he might be a liar, there was a chance that he might be real! Have you forgotten that the story comes from life?!
"So …
"You must go back alive!
"Ask her personally.
"Have you ever thought that if it is really a misunderstanding and you give up, it will be as melodramatic as those lame television dramas?"
Meng Shisan hurriedly said.
"…"
There was a tinge of color in Xiaowu's eyes.
Yes.
He had to ask her face to face!
Hence …
He had the will to live again.
"Very good."
Meng Shisan heaved a sigh of relief. He felt gratified and worried at the same time. Damn it! How was he going to make up for it when he returned?!! Xiaowu wondered what he should do when he returned?!
After all, she was his savior …
Forget it.
He would worry about it when he returned.
At most, he would ask his daughter to marry him?
Well …
If his daughter was interested …
If it did not work, he would pretend to be a tea seller and chat with him for a few days. He would know that he was not a liar and then dump him on the pretext that they were not on good terms!
Well …
There was nothing wrong with that!
Meng Shisan was very worried.
After a long while …
Everyone had rested.
"Let's go.
"An Mingdong and the rest will be here soon."
"Okay."
The Swordsmen got up.
Meng Shisan carried Xiaowu on his back and walked in front.
However …
As they went deeper, they felt the energy around them become denser and denser. There were even traces of frightening thoughts, as well as a cold chill.
The deeper they went, the heavier it was.
The wind and snow were like knives.
It was as if a strong wind was howling and pasted on everyone. It was bone-chilling.
After a long while …
When they reached the deepest part of the area and saw the source of the chilliness, they finally knew the motive of those people!
Over there …
In the deepest part of the fallen land.
In the mountains and valleys, there was only half a Sword Embryo … It was the Sword Embryo of an ancient Swordsman! It was an ancient Sword Embryo that had existed for countless years!!!
…
"Sword Embryo …"
The Swordsmen's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
This thing …
It was no wonder that the Sword Aura of the seniors could not reach here!!!
Ancient Sword Embryo.
If they had this thing …
It was enough to nurture a seven-star Swordsman! This was the real legacy! This was the dream of every Swordsman!
At the thought of this …
All the Swordsman were excited.
However …
Just as they were about to go over, they heard laughter.
"Hehe.
"You guys are here …"
The familiar laughter sounded like the voice of a male duck.
The Swordsmen halted their footsteps and looked ahead. There was a black figure next to the Sword Embryo, as well as the disgusting traitor — An Mingdong!
"I have been waiting for you guys for a long time."
An Mingdong smiled faintly.
"How did you get to the front?"
Meng Shisan squinted his eyes.
"Haha.
"What do you think?"
An Mingdong waved his hands and a card appeared in his hands. One could vaguely see the words — Ground Traversal. This was a Six Stars Card!
"Since we made a move …
"Of course, we are fully prepared.
"Of course, we have the necessary cards.
"It's a pity.
"The inherent thinking of the Swordsman made you forget about the underground …"
An Mingdong smiled playfully.
"Tsk.
"It would be good if you were smarter …
"It's too stupid to only focus on the ground."
An Mingdong sneered.
Shush!
Rows of men in black appeared quietly behind them, blocking their way. A row of men in black appeared next to An Mingdong.
The Swordsmen were surrounded.
"Since you guys are here …
"Leave all of you here …"
An Mingdong said coldly.
Shush!
He waved his hands.
Sword gleams surged and the men in black charged forward.
"Oh no!"
The expressions of Meng Shisan and the group changed drastically.
They were attacking from the front and the back!
They had nowhere to run!
"What should we do?!"
The expressions of the Swordsmen changed slightly.
"Let's fight."
Xiaowu rode on Meng Shisan and took out his sword.
In the end …
It was just death.
"Fight!"
Meng Shisan roared furiously.
"Fight!"
The Swordsmen took out their Sword Embryos and their morale was boosted.
"For honor!"
Meng Shisan roared furiously.
"For honor!"
The Swordsmen roared furiously.
"For …"
Meng Shisan paused for a moment. "Tea leaves?"
“？”
The Swordsmen smiled and laughed immediately. "For the tea leaves!"
Bang!
The Swordsmen attacked aggressively.
An Mingdong and the group were dumbstruck. What the hell did they mean by 'for the tea leaves'? However … it did not matter. They were not interested in dead people.
"Kill them."
He waved his hands coldly.
"Understood."
All the men in black retreated.
Bang!
Bang!
A full-scale battle broke out.
What surprised An Mingdong was that the Sword Cultivators, who were already at a disadvantage, were able to withstand the attacks of the men in black under such an imposing manner!
Because they did not want to live!
Because they were arrogant.
The men in black who had the upper hand did not manage to take them down as they felt that there was no need to sacrifice themselves when they obviously had the upper hand.
The battle was strangely at a stalemate.
"There's hope."
The Swordsmen were tempted.
However …
At this moment, An Mingdong struck.
Pfft!
He pierced a man in black who did not want to get hurt and kept retreating. He looked at them with a smile. "Are you that afraid of getting hurt?"
Shush!
There was pin-drop silence all around.
Obviously …
No one had expected An Mingdong to kill one of his own!
However …
Because of this, the men in black were agitated. They did not dare to retreat anymore. They became more courageous and forced the Swordsmen to retreat. They were in a desperate situation.
They were defeated.
"Look.
"It's very easy, isn't it?"
An Mingdong smiled faintly.
In fact …
He even took out a white handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on his body.
He had the advantage of being older than ten years. He had more experience in such matters than ordinary people. Killing was very common.
"Although I know all of you won't agree.
"However …
"I still have to ask."
An Mingdong looked at the Swordsmen. "Is there anyone who is willing to join us? To fight for the true legacy of Swordsman and not the so-called wastrels created by the new forces. "
"Get lost!"
Meng Shisan spat on his face. "You vermin!"
As long as one had a Sword Embryo and learned swordplay, would one not be a Swordsman?! Why did one have to learn from the so-called legacy?!
Even Xiaowu could create his own swordplay!
Swordsman!
It was never a niche vocation!
"It doesn't matter."
An Mingdong wiped his face. "Since they don't agree, I'll just kill them."
He waved his hands coldly.
Shush!
Cold lights flashed.
The swords in the men in black fell.
However …
At this moment.
A calm voice suddenly sounded. "Well … can I join?"
"Who's that?!"
An Mingdong turned his head abruptly.
Behind him.
On a mountain range not far away.
A figure that should not be here was actually sitting there. Lu Ming!!!
？？？
An Mingdong's pupils constricted suddenly. Why was this guy here?!
…
