One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Chapter 404 The grudge between master and apprentice

The stooped old man stood up slowly, with a gentle smile on his face, and opened his arms, as if he was welcoming his precious apprentice, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

He didn't know where to find a golden and luxurious dragon robe, and put it on his body, looking majestic and solemn, his aura was no weaker than that of the Great Xia Emperor opposite him!
Because he is also the emperor of the human race, the leader of one party, and one of the five emperors, Huangdi Xuanwu!
4 years ago, during the decisive battle between the Five Emperors and the Heavenly Court, Xuanwu became suspicious of his apprentice Xia Qi, suspecting that he had colluded with Song Yun, so he deliberately ordered Xia Qi to lead his army to stop the 20 heavenly soldiers and generals who were pursuing the victory.

Xia Qi didn't dare to disobey his order, so he could only bite the bullet and stay in a deadly fight, hating this master to the extreme in his heart.

Xuanwu didn't care, martial arts immortals can live for tens of thousands of years, but these apprentices can't live to be a hundred years old. In his eyes, they are just tool people, and they can be discarded if they are not suitable.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qi didn't die, he jumped into the Wei River to escape, and got a blessing in disguise, picked up the heavenly treasure Li Huanzhu, and successfully promoted to martial arts and immortals.

In the decisive battle between Anxi and Tianting Xianshen, Xuanwu paddled the whole way, never desperately, and managed to survive to the end.

Just when he was planning to kill Song Yun, who was exhausted, and take over the world by himself, by coincidence, the apprentice who was promoted to immortal came back!

Xia Qi and Song Yun teamed up to drag Xuan Wu into the illusion of Li Huanzhu, and the three fought fiercely.

In the end, Xia Qi cut Xuan Wu's head with his own hands.

Before he died, this emperor had cursed his apprentice that he would die at the hands of Emperor Xuan in the future, who would have thought that his words would come true.

Sitting on the throne, Xia Qi wanted to kill the old "Song Xuan" so as to avoid future troubles.As a result, Song Yun disappeared as soon as he turned around, and has never been seen again.

It wasn't until 4 years later that he suddenly appeared and beheaded the emperor in Anxi...

The grievances of life and death are entangled, and I thought the dust would be settled 4 years ago.

Unexpectedly, none of those who seemed to be dead actually gathered on the battlefield of the Tang Kingdom today.

The study room was quiet for a while, and there was no warm scene of the reunion of master and apprentice.

Xia Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, he was too lazy to act with Xuan Wu, his eyes skipped over his hunched shoulders, and landed on the bronze cauldron that was slowly rotating behind him.

This is the ultimate goal of his trip, the top-grade imperial weapon, the Mountain and River Cauldron!
Only after refining the Shanhe Ding and using it as the hub of the great formation in the city, can he truly control this fairy city on earth. At that time, he can control Yangcheng and fly away directly. No one can stop it. They could only stay where they were and stare blankly, and then continue to fight.

In this way, Xia Qi can be considered as a bargaining chip to turn the tables, and just wait for the snipe and the clam to fight and the fisherman wins.

He walked slowly and was about to pass.Xuanwu moved sideways and stopped in front of Shanhe Ding, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm, and the meaning was very obvious——

Can't take it!
"This damn old thing..."

Xia Qi was very angry, but he didn't explode on the spot. He looked at the opponent intently, calculating the difference in strength between the two sides.

Although Xuanwu on the opposite side has just been revived, he has absorbed the natural materials and earthly treasures left by Song Yun, and his strength has returned to [-]% to [-]% of his peak strength, and he is firmly in the middle stage of human immortality.

Although Xia Qi was revived 100 years ago, most of the arrangements prepared back then were lost in the troubled times, or were taken over by demons and ghosts, causing heavy losses.

For these years, he hibernated in the South China Sea, worked hard to collect resources, and finally recovered his nine-success power, but the three emperor weapons were all gone, and his combat power was only an ordinary middle-stage human immortal.

Comparing it for a long time, right now, Huangdi Xuanwu can only split [-]-[-], at most [-]-[-].

Xuanwu must have discovered this too, so he dared to forcefully stop in front.

"Damn it! If I were in my prime, with the three imperial weapons in hand, I would definitely be able to tear this old thing up!"

Xia Qi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master."

Hearing this long-lost master, Xuan Wu was a little surprised, but still kindly replied: "Hey."

"Master, you and Song Xuan don't seem to be allies, right? He was the chief culprit who killed you back then, and now he has no good intentions. Treating you as a free thug, you will not really work for him, will you?"

Xuan Wu shook his head with a smile, "Of course not, the old man is still an emperor, how could he work for others."

"Then, with Master's cautious style, why did he still appear on this battlefield? You must know that there are peak beings in the sky, and a random move can seriously injure you and me."

Xia Qi pointed upwards. Even if the two of them were in the imperial study room of the Yangcheng Imperial Palace, separated by many formations, they could still hear the deafening sonic boom. It was the battle between Song Yun and the Kongming Immortal and the Samsara God. The movement is as terrifying as the destruction of the world.

Xuan Wu smiled and pointed to the Shanhe Cauldron behind him.

"After my resurrection, Lord Xuandi has promised through sound transmission that as long as I can stop you, he will give me this great tripod without any other conditions."

"Tsk tsk, this is the best imperial weapon of the heavens! My dear disciple, you must have spent a lot of time building this great tripod, right?"

Xuanwu stretched out his hand to gently caress the cauldron, feeling the thick material, delicate texture, and the mighty force contained in the cauldron to suppress mountains and rivers, he couldn't help showing greed.

Ever since he saw Song Yun's black steel sword with gold patterns 10 years ago, he had always wanted to forge an imperial weapon, so it took tens of thousands of years to refine the prototype of the Human Emperor Sword.

It's a pity that lacking the support of the world's luck, the Human Emperor Sword has been lacking half a point of foundation and failed to achieve the best. It was not upgraded to a real emperor's weapon until it fell into Xia Qi's hands.Later Xia Qi was killed, and the whereabouts of the Human Emperor Sword was unknown, and no one could find it, let alone that it had been forged into a long bronze sword by Song Yun.

Xuan Wu had just been resurrected, so he naturally wanted a top-quality treasure to protect him, and at the same time he did not dare to offend Emperor Xuan, who was in his peak state, so he naturally agreed to this request.

At this moment in the study, Xia Qi heard that Song Yun actually used his own things as bargaining chips, so angry that his eyes were fierce, and he said bluntly:
"Do you believe what that guy said? Both of us died in his hands!"

Xuan Wu laughed and said: "Strictly speaking, I died at your hands. Back then, I was the one who wanted to kill Lord Xuandi first, so it is understandable for him to protect himself."

"Now Emperor Xuan swears an oath with Dao heart, and assures me that Emperor Zun's promise still has a certain degree of credibility."

"If you don't believe him, do I still believe in you, brother?"

Xia Qi frowned, staring at the seemingly benevolent and harmless Master, his teeth itching with hatred.

Seeing the murderous eyes of his apprentice, Xuanwu spread his hands innocently, "I said disciple, why should you never forget this tripod? Lord Xuandi just asked me to protect the tripod, and you can take other things as you like."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and glanced at the Omnipotence Instrument on the desk, with strange expressions in his eyes, "Like this, it's definitely a rare thing. It's mysterious and all-encompassing. It's no worse than the best imperial weapon. You just take it back."

"Back then, I had only seen similar things in Lord Xuandi's illusion. I didn't expect you to successfully imitate them. What's the name of this treasure?"

Xia Qi didn't answer, his face was cold, but his heart was like an erupting volcano, surging with anger.

Without the best imperial weapon as a hub, Yangcheng is just a giant piled up of a large number of natural materials and earth treasures. The lack of the most important core is like the lack of a soul. If it is forced to drive, it will exhaust him to death.

Even if they broke through the city defense formation and forcibly demolished a few treasures, they were not of high grade, and they would definitely not be able to withstand Song Yun's sword.

Shanhe Ding, must have Shanhe Ding!
After a moment of silence, Xia Qi squeezed out a smile again:
"It's called the Vientiane Instrument, which means all-encompassing. A small instrument is comparable to tens of thousands of study libraries. It can collect massive amounts of information, and it is a magic weapon for ruling the world!"

"Oh? How did you do it?" Hearing that it was a "magic weapon to rule the world", Xuanwu immediately became very interested.

"Let me show you." Xia Qi took two steps forward, his right hand fell to the 64 [-]-grid keyboard of the multi-function device, and after a burst of tapping, rows of file information flashed on the screen of the multi-function device.

Xuanwu watched with fascination, this kind of method is indeed shocking.

At this moment, Xia Qi flipped his left hand, and a short blade appeared in his palm, stabbing fiercely at Xuan Wu's waist!
