With the death of the middle-aged cultivator, not only did Lu Qingshan not heave a sigh of relief, but he also frowned.
This person's sneak attack had been decisive and vicious.
It did not look like they had attacked him specifically, but because he had appeared in Great Peace City.
Had the mastermind set this up to hide the news of Great Peace City?
They had left behind experts to hide in Great Peace City and kill everyone who came to Great Peace City to achieve secrecy.
It seemed so.
But when he thought about it, there were many strange and illogical places.
An entire city of people had vanished from the face of the earth. No matter how powerful the person behind this was, how could they use such a crude method to conceal the truth?
They could hide it for a while, but not forever.
This was completely different from how they had acted before.
Before this, these people had attacked small sects that were not well known, and then used their own methods to erase the traces of these sects from the world.
This time, they had suddenly become so bold. They had attacked a city of the Da Xia Kingdom, but their methods of dealing with the aftermath had become so crude?
The more illogical the situation was, the more it represented bad news.
Lu Qingshan was worried. He once again swept his gaze across the empty Great Peace City.
In the next moment, his gaze suddenly focused and he looked down at the center of Great Peace City.
There, black mist seeped out of the ground.
Among the roiling mist.
A strange person appeared.
He wore purple-black armor like a celestial general, and was extraordinarily powerful.
A thick visor completely covered his face, only revealing a pair of deep eyes hidden under the visor.
The purple-black mist spread over his heavy armor.
This?
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes. A black fish immediately appeared in his eyes and merged with his black pupils, making it difficult to detect.
Eye technique: Evil Discernment.
Then, in his eyes, this strange person immediately gave off a bloody red murderous aura.
The murderous aura rose into the sky and surged into the clouds.
Before the first wave subsided, another wave rose.
There seemed to be many things hidden in Great Peace City.
Lu Qingshan felt a chill in his heart and snorted coldly.
The Dragon Sparrow rushed out from his body again, emitting a shocking fluctuation as it flew towards the black-armored man.
The Dragon Sparrow flew at an extremely fast speed, leaving a trail of bright red light in the sky. It was as gorgeous as the sunset glow.
In the silent sky above Great Peace City, the thunderous roar caused by the flying swords was especially deafening.
But in the face of such a ferocious attack, the empty-handed black-armored man stood motionless, allowing the flying swords to strike him.
Lu Qingshan's outstanding eyesight allowed him to clearly see the mysterious rune patterns on the black armoured men's armor. They were cryptic and hard to understand.
The Dragon Sparrow seemed to tear through space and approached the Black Armor Man at an unimaginable speed.
Just as the flying sword was about to reach him, the black-armored man suddenly stretched out his black-armored left hand and blocked the Dragonsparrow.
Clang!
The sword chime shook the heavens.
The burning red Dragon Sparrow and the black-armored man's left hand clashed fiercely, creating a string of sparks.
But this was not enough. At this time, the black-armored man suddenly clenched his left hand and tried to grab Lu Qingshan's flying sword.
Grabbing a white blade with bare hands.
Lu Qingshan's expression was grave. With a thought, the Dragon Sparrow moved to the side, drawing a beautiful trajectory in the air. It barely dodged the black-armored man's grasp and returned to his side.
The black-armored man did not care that he did not catch the Dragon Sparrow. He calmly put down his left hand and then raised his head to look at Lu Qingshan in the air.
A hint of coldness flashed through his eyes hidden under the visor.
"Void Refinement realm?" the black-armored man murmured.
In the sky, Lu Qingshan looked down and swept his gaze across the armor on the black-armored man's left hand.
That place was undamaged. Not even a white mark had appeared.
The black-armored man had blocked his flying sword that could kill Spirit Transformation realm cultivators. The black-armored man did not even sway.
Powerful and terrifying.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath.
This black-armored man was very strange. He could not sense his specific cultivation level at all.
But just from this performance alone, his combat power was definitely far beyond the Spirit Transformation realm.
In terms of explosive power, external sword techniques were much stronger than internal sword techniques.
However, Lu Qingshan also knew in his heart that if the flying sword could not even shake the black armor in the slightest, even if he used external sword techniques, the effect would not be too obvious.
This was a very powerful opponent.
Should he use the sword talisman?
In this situation, it seemed that only the sword talisman could deal with this black-armored man.
A bright yellow talisman had already appeared in his palm, ready to be used.
Just as Lu Qingshan was thinking, the black-armored man finally moved.
He stretched out his palm, but this time, it was his right palm.
The black-armored man pressed his right palm down gently and uttered a strange syllable with unknown meaning.
A layer of invisible ripples suddenly spread out in all directions with the black-armored man's palm as the center.
In an instant, the weather changed.
Rolling black clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.
The black clouds floated above the sky, with a terrifying aura of vicissitudes of life.
In the clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
Lightning and thunder arcs intertwined into an inescapable net, and thunder snakes floated up from the black clouds.
It was as if it could destroy a city and was falling.
It was like a thunder pool falling from the sky, vowing to completely drown Lu Qingshan. The scene was shocking.
Lu Qingshan did not dare to think too much and immediately prepared to activate the sword talisman.
Suddenly.
A clear sound came from heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
This caused his movements to suddenly become sluggish.
In the next moment, Lu Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was a green light full of vitality. He did not know where it came from, but it suddenly appeared and flew over at an indescribable speed.
In the green light, there was an extremely condensed sword intent condensed.
It was so condensed that it seemed to be solid and could not be dispersed.
It was like a meteor that flashed by at a low altitude.
The light behind it did not dissipate for a long time, leaving marks in the air as it shot towards the black-armored man at the center of Great Peace City.
The seemingly great distance was covered in a flash.
The indestructible black armor was like a piece of paper in front of this green light. It was easily pierced through.
Then, the green light shot out sword Qi that filled the sky and exploded.
The seemingly extraordinary black armor was pierced like a hedgehog and riddled with holes.
The tall and sturdy body of the black armored man fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The thunder clouds in the sky that gave off an oppressive presence suddenly disappeared the moment the black-armored man fell. The clouds parted and the rain cleared, and the sky returned to its original clear state.
The rolling thunder disappeared.
Everything in the world returned to calm.
The hot sunlight fell down and landed on the corpse of the black-armored man.
Lu Qingshan's shock was indescribable.
When everything calmed, he finally saw everything clearly.
On the fallen body of the black-armored man, at his chest, there was a green leaf that was as straight as a sword and slightly penetrated the armor.
That green light that caused his heart to tremble and was filled with sword essence was the most common, most ordinary, and most inconspicuous leaf in the world?!
One leaf was one sword.
How could a leaf hold such a powerful sword essence and not dissipate? Not collapse?
This was an astounding method to turn something rotten into something magical.
Lu Qingshan could not help but close his eyes and focus. He repeatedly recalled the sword Qi trajectory formed by the green leaf in his mind. He felt an inexplicable sword intent appear in his chest, almost gushing out.
Just by looking at this "sword," he could form several sword essences.
This method had already exceeded his understanding.
Only a celestial being could do something like this, right?
Fortunately, he had climbed the peak of the sword path for a long time and had left the foot of the mountain.
If he had seen this method when he first started cultivating the sword, he might have been intimidated, as if he had seen an insurmountable peak. If he wanted to continue climbing, he would have to muster up great courage, right?
A moment later, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes. His line of sight extended along the long streets of Great Peace City.
A meager middle-aged man appeared at the end of the street, currently walking towards the black-armored man.
This should be the person who used the flying leaf as a flying sword.
The middle-aged man's hands were empty.
However, Lu Qingshan sensed a familiar divine intent from his body.
That was sword essence.
The depth of the sword essence was almost imperceptible.
However, once one sensed it, they would discover the weight of the sword essence, like a deep abyss or towering mountains.
Lu Qingshan had never sensed such a heavy sword essence even from Xia Daoyun.
With a thought, Lu Qingshan controlled his flying sword, bringing Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu down to the street. Then, he took the two sisters' hands and slowly approached the middle-aged man.
When they were about ten zhang apart, Lu Qingshan stopped and cupped his fists in greeting. "Thank you for your help, senior."
Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu looked at their master and hurriedly followed suit, clasping their little fists.
The middle-aged man's expression was calm. He didn't immediately reply, only staring at Lu Qingshan.
Finally, he said slowly, "The sword you used just now was not bad."
The middle-aged man was probably referring to the Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword.
Lu Qingshan said calmly, "Thank you for your praise, senior. I merely copied the wisdom of others. I dare not display my slight skill before an expert."
"Comprehending by analogy. Sword path, sword path, isn't it just copying the wisdom of others?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, "However, even if it is copying the wisdom of others, not everyone can do it well."
After a pause, the middle-aged man said amiably, "Do you know me?"
Lu Qingshan said respectfully, "Xia Daoyun's disciple, Sword Sect's Lu Qingshan. Greetings, senior Li."
The middle-aged man's sword intent was so majestic that even his master, Xia Daoyun, who was regarded as the first female Sword Immortal in human history, couldn't compare.
Such a master of the sword path wasn't from the Sword Sect.
Who else could it be other than Li Qiubai, the Sword Immortal of Chang 'an, the legendary leader of the swordsmanship of the present age?
Could there be a second person?
Li Qiubai had never fought against the other two Sword Immortals in his life.
However, his master had told him that Li Qiubai was recognized as the number one swordsman in the world in terms of talent in swordsmanship, and there was no one who could surpass him.
His sword intent was even more domineering in the world.
To be honest, he actually had a stroke of fate with Li Qiubai.
His Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword, also known as Sword One, was created by Li Qiubai.
It was unexpected, but within reason.
It was unexpected that he would meet one of the three Sword Immortals of the human race under such circumstances.
When he saw Li Qiubai, a voice in his heart told him that he had to be a Sword Immortal, that he had to be Li Qiubai.
It was as if someone had set a rule that Sword Immortals should be like this.
Moreover, Qingyun Sword Immortal guarded Heavenly Mountain's Jade Gate Pass, and Sky River Sword Immortal guarded Sky River City.
In theory, the only Sword Immortal he could meet in the Human Domain was Chang 'an's Sword Immortal.
He recalled the many legends about Chang 'an's Sword Immortal among the human race. Moreover, the technique of using a leaf as a flying sword was still vivid in his mind. Just thinking about it made his heart sway.
This Sword Immortal could display such might and boldness with just a single leaf.
If he wielded a sword, what kind of sword intent would he unleash? What kind of terrifying technique would he have?
Lu Qingshan found it hard to imagine.
"Xia Daoyun's disciple. No wonder …" Li Qiubai didn't mind that his identity was exposed.
His aura was restrained, and he didn't put on airs at all. It was as if he was chatting with a junior in his family. He laughed heartily and said, "That little girl's sword practice is promising."
'Little girl?'
Lu Qingshan recalled Xia Daoyun, who had always been extremely dignified in front of him. He found it hard to associate her with the word 'little girl', and he didn't dare to respond.
"Senior Li, did you come here by chance, or …" He hesitated for a moment, then changed the topic.
"I found something, so I chased after it," Li Qiubai said calmly.
"Found something … Senior, what are you referring to?"
"Great Peace City isn't the first empty city I've seen," Sword Immortal Chang 'an said concisely.
It was a simple sentence, but it stirred up great waves in Lu Qingshan's heart.
On the other side, Li Qiubai lowered his eyes slightly.
The black-armored man's corpse lay on the ground. Spiderweb-Like cracks spread out from his chest.
The first half of the green leaf on his chest was still deep in the armor, but the other half of the leaf was swaying slightly.
If Lu Qingshan's Heaven Suppressing Slash was like a toothpick stabbing a chicken egg, then this lightning ball was like a Soul Formation cultivator's lightning ball.
This Sword Immortal Chang 'an was like an egg striking a rock.
The problem was, the rock was really broken by the egg.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
Li Qiubai's gaze swept over the black-armored man's armor, carefully examining every pattern and detail.
Then, he knocked on the armor.
Clang!
Clang!
"This is the work of the Water Cloud Platform."
"Water Cloud Platform?" Lu Qingshan frowned slightly. He felt that this name was a bit familiar.
"The Artifact Refining Platform of the Da Xia Kingdom specializes in refining armors.
Among them, the most famous is this Divine Armor of the Five Elements. Who knows how many layers of talismans are carved on the armor, one layer after another.
Its hands and feet are extremely strange. Once it's worn, it possesses boundless divine power and is invulnerable. "
"What Divine Armor? Isn't it just a mecha?"
Lu Qingshan cursed inexplicably in his mind at an inappropriate time.
"This armor is called the Divine Armor of the Thunder God," Li Qiubai said slowly.
"However, this Divine Armor is too evil after all. Once it's worn, the armor will control the person, instead of the person controlling the armor. The person wearing the armor will become a walking corpse, so it has been listed as a forbidden item for a long time."
After saying this, he raised his hand slightly, and the green leaf that was about three centimeters into his armor was immediately pulled out.
Clang!
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The moment the green leaf was pulled out, the lightning armor full of spider patterns suddenly shattered into countless pieces, revealing the body of the person wearing the armor.
His body was covered with twisted scars, which twisted like worms and centipedes. It was extremely ugly and didn't look like a human at all.
"Ah!" Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu subconsciously exclaimed. They were shocked, but when they realized what had happened, they quickly covered their mouths in embarrassment.
Sword Immortal Chang 'an smiled gently and reached out to rub the heads of the two girls. He was very kind. "What's there to be afraid of?"
Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu nodded vigorously.
"Da Xia Kingdom …" On the other side, Lu Qingshan murmured, "It really is the Da Xia Kingdom …"
He clenched his fists and looked up at the sky.
In his field of vision, the sunlight sprinkled down like feathers, dazzling and moving.
However, looking around at the empty Great Peace City, Lu Qingshan only felt a chill in his heart, as if it was winter.
Great Peace City was a city of Da Xia Kingdom. It was built by Da Xia Kingdom to protect the human race!
Da Xia Kingdom was the guardian of the human race.
But now … as the guardian of the human race, Da Xia Kingdom was deeply trusted by the human race. What were some people doing?
After investigating the situation and understanding the information, Li Qiubai shook his head and said softly, "Let's go."
"Senior, where are you going?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Water Cloud Platform."
It sounded surprising, but it was a reasonable answer.
Sword Immortals didn't need to beat around the bush.
The city was empty, and the only clue left pointed to the Water Cloud Platform. Why not just go there and ask?
Lu Qingshan paused, then quickly came to his senses. Shocked, he hesitated, and finally said, "Senior, can I go with you?"
He wanted to go with him because he was also investigating this matter and was concerned about it.
This was an important clue, and he didn't want to miss it. He wanted to know the truth and get to the bottom of it.
Secondly, it was because of a certain feeling.
It was like a student who had suddenly met Li Bai when he was learning Chinese.
The emotions in his heart, the yearning, couldn't be described with words.
The thought of going with him almost slipped out of his mouth.
Sword Immortal Chang 'an had already turned his back, but hearing this, he turned back.
His gaze swept over Lu Qingshan and the two girls beside him. After thinking, he finally nodded.
