At this moment, he seemed to have become the combination of God and Devil, justice and evil, chivalry and tyranny, a warrior and a madman, all fused into one body. Under the brilliant morning sun, it seemed that even the heavens did not know whether to destroy it or to help it succeed.
"The timing is perfect."
The corners of Gu Yanying's lips curled up slightly. He cleverly hid his true purpose and then faked the reason why he was rejected by this world. She did not expect that this boy, who liked to be alone, would be so resourceful. However, he remembered that he had never been good at putting on a show. Yet, he was able to say such hot-blooded and passionate words. Even he himself was a little excited after hearing it. Could it be …
She observed carefully and saw that his eyes were blazing with determination. Even she couldn't find a trace of falsehood in them. Could it be that he was serious?
He suddenly recalled a few months ago when she complained about the Heavens being mischievous. He smiled and said, "I was just about to compete with it!"
The red sun gradually rose from the east. Everyone slowly recovered from their shock. They all had different expressions on their faces as they pondered in silence. He felt fear and shock, but also yearned for it.
A middle-aged swordsman suddenly said, "Manor Lord is right. What's so great about clans and sects? Why are they born one level higher than others?"
In order to enter the Ape Deity Mountain Villa to learn swordsmanship, he had spent close to ten years collecting enough treasures to present to the White Ape King. However, he had already passed the optimal age to learn swordsmanship, and there was little hope for him to break through to the Innate Realm. Moreover, he had been looked down upon by swordsmen from aristocratic families and sects in this villa. He had long been suppressing a bellyful of vexation. However, Li Qingshan's White Ape Sword Technique had given him hope of becoming a peerless master.
"I am also willing to follow the Manor Lord!"
Soon after, a few more swordsmen shouted. They were all from the wilderness. His strength was mediocre, and he hadn't even reached the Xiantian Realm.
Most importantly, it was obvious that only by continuing to follow Li Qingshan would he have the opportunity to continue comprehending the White Ape Sword Technique. Although the Grand Biography of the White Ape King was very detailed, there were many parts that required reference to the original text in order to truly understand.
However, most of the swordsmen were still hesitant. They were all from aristocratic families and sects. How could they turn their spears against their own people?
"Villa Lord … …" That young swordsman from the Ximen Clan said. He gathered his courage and spoke again. Li Qingshan turned to look at him. "Hm?"
"Ximen Yingjie is willing to follow the manor lord and achieve great things!"
Ximen Yingjie bowed deeply. Originally, he wanted to say something to object. But when that pair of orange eyes looked at him, he felt a chill run down his spine. His heart skipped a beat. His killing intent was aroused!
He could not help but tighten his grip on the Truesteel Sword. Some things could be done twice, but not thrice. If he continued to defy Meng Qi this time, he was afraid that not only would he fail to learn the White Ape Swordplay, but his life would also be in danger. Thus, he quickly changed his tone and expressed his support.
"Oh? You are also from an aristocratic family, I thought you would oppose it! "Li Qingshan said with a smile. He was prepared to kill him as a sacrifice.
"I am doing this in order to protect the XiMen Clan. No matter how strong the XiMen Clan is, how can we become the enemy of the entire world? Only by conforming to the general trend can we avoid a calamity. Even if the 《White Ape Sword Law》 spreads throughout the world, I believe that the people of XiMen Clan won't be weaker than others."
With Ximen Yingjie as an example and a decent set of reasons, the other swordsmen also expressed their allegiance. The temptation of the 《White Ape Sword Law》 was too great, and Li Qingshan's coercion was too strong.
"I am very pleased that everyone is sensible and sensible. If there is anyone else who has an objection, you may as well speak up now. If you don't speak up today, you won't have a chance in the future."
Li Qingshan nodded slightly, but in his heart, he was very clear that these people's loyalty was worthless. Once he showed weakness, he would immediately bite back. But this was the interesting part. It was like climbing on a precipice. If there was no danger, what would be the point?
"The manor lord has great ambitions. Forgive me for my shallow strength, but I can't help the manor lord. I will take my leave now!"
A skinny old man wearing a Taoist robe faintly said. He had reached the Xiantian seventh stage, and his strength was second only to the two protectors. Moreover, he was the great elder of the Mysterious Void Temple, one of the seven biggest sects in the world. The Mysterious Void Temple's lord was also his junior brother. In addition, he was already old. Even if he had the 《White Ape Sword Law》, it would be very difficult for his cultivation to advance to the next level. Naturally, he was unwilling to join Li Qingshan's pirate ship.
He secretly made up his mind. As soon as he left the mountain, he would rush back to the Mysterious Void Temple. Then, he would inform all the martial arts practitioners that such a devil had appeared in the north. If he couldn't eradicate him as soon as possible, then the martial arts world would inevitably face a great catastrophe, surpassing any previous one.
This man named Li Qingshan was incomparable to any evil devil in the history of the martial arts world. In front of his frightening ambition, the Phantom Dancer Demon King and the Seven Slaughtering Demon King were simply as kind as children. He didn't do it for worldly things, but simply to cause chaos in the world.
Could it be that the descent of the Evil Star would happen because of him?
"Good, very good. I like courageous people. Who else?" Li Qingshan said with a smile.
The other swordsmen seemed to have found their backbone. They also cupped their hands and bid farewell. There was even one who refuted Li Qingshan, saying that he was seeking his own destruction and that it was better to stop while it was still early.
Li Qingshan's smile became even wider. Unknowingly, a long winter had passed since he had killed the Flame Sword Marquis Hou Hongtao with one palm. Since then, he had been quite peaceful and hadn't killed anyone. It seemed that he had been underestimated by some people?
"Where are the left and right protectors?"
"Manor Lord, what orders do you have?"
The two protectors stepped forward. After a winter, their sword arts had improved a lot. In order to cross the tribulation and break through the void, they had already decided to follow Li Qingshan for a while.
"Kill them for me." Li Qingshan lightly waved his hand.
"This!" The left and right protectors hesitated. If they attacked, they would form an irreconcilable blood feud with the Mysterious Void Temple.
"Li Qingshan, do you want to kill us all?" The skinny old man said angrily.
"I have already said that those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish. Do you think I am joking? Protectors, what are you waiting for? If you don't want to take action, then let me do it myself! "
The left and right protectors felt a chill in their hearts. They simultaneously thought of the pile of ape corpses in front of the manor gate a few months ago. He was no longer the carefree and inexplicable master of the manor, but an overlord of the martial arts world.
Between death and ascension, there was no hesitation. With a clang, he resolutely drew his sword!
"You … you are helping a tiger do evil!"
"Haha, to think that you still remember my name, the Descended Tiger!" Li Qingshan laughed loudly.
"Shut up! The manor lord's righteousness is not something an old man like you can understand. Now that you have realized your error and repent, I beg for the manor lord's forgiveness. Perhaps you still have a chance to live! "the right protector shouted.
"Humph, this humble Daoist is not as greedy for life as you are. This matter cannot be concealed. The Mysterious Void Temple will definitely avenge me. Come!"
In an instant, sword Qi crisscrossed, and several heads fell to the ground. A moment later, only the old man was left. He was restrained by the two protectors and brought before Li Qingshan. He was still cursing and swearing.
"Manor Lord, why don't you keep him as a hostage and use him to threaten the Mysterious Void Temple?"
Li Qingshan extended his arm and lifted the old man high into the air. Then, he tossed him off the cliff.
A long, miserable scream rang out, then suddenly stopped.
