The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 1391 The Demon Sect’s Methods
The appearance of the Dongxuan realm swordsman changed the situation.

Lu Qingchen was the first to react. He shouted to Wang Gang, "My dear Wang, take the princess away quickly. I will stop him."

Wang Gang did not leave. Instead, he looked at the swordsman provocatively.

Since he came to this world, he had never seen cultivators fighting each other. The massacre of those horse bandits just now was more of a crushing victory.

Ordinary people have no chance to fight back when facing practitioners, and they have no way to defend against the flying knives and swords that come and go without a trace.

In fact, Wang Gang fell into a misunderstanding at this time. It was not that practitioners could crush ordinary people, but that it was he, Wang Gang, who used the methods of a practitioner to crush ordinary people.

Although Lu Qingchen is a cultivator in the Dongxuan realm, when facing enemies that are a hundred times more powerful than him, his mental power will eventually run out.

Without telekinesis, a mind master is no different from an ordinary person, or even worse than an ordinary person.

But Wang Gang is different. He has a strong physique, has mastered the internal martial arts, and knows the vulnerable parts of the human body very well. What's more, he is experienced in combat. Even when facing an enemy that is a hundred times more numerous than him, he can always kill the opponent in the shortest time and with the most labor-saving method.

Most of the hundred bandits who were just killed were killed by Wang Gang.

The swordsman had actually arrived a long time ago and had been hiding in the dark observing the situation. He didn't want to take action before Wang Gang used his cultivation methods, even though Lu Qingchen had already used his flying sword at that time.

The sword master was not afraid of Lu Qingchen, but he knew the mind master's weakness and wanted to wait until Lu Qingchen consumed more of his mental power before he took action.

The reason for doing this is that among cultivators in the same Dongxuan realm, the power of a mind master is greater than that of a sword master and a talisman master. This is common knowledge in the cultivation world.

But after Wang Gang took action, he used his telekinesis to control the sword, and slaughtering the horse thieves was easier than killing a chicken, which completely scared the swordsman.

He knew that if he didn't take action, the hundred horse thieves would not be enough for Wang Gang to kill.

After all the bandits were killed, even if the swordsman took action, he would no longer pose a threat to Wang Gang and Lu Qingchen, let alone killing Li Yu.

"Your Excellency is a cultivator of the Profound Realm. Why did you get involved in a power struggle and assassinate the princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

Lu Qingchen stood in front of the sword master, with a flying sword dancing up and down. With his right hand behind his back, he secretly gestured to Wang Gang.
The swordsman held the long sword in his arms, looked at Lu Qingchen coldly, and said: "As the worshiper of the South Gate of Haotian Dao, you have condescended to protect Li Yu. Don't tell me you are doing this for the Tang Dynasty."

Lu Qingchen sensed that Wang Gang did not leave, but stood beside him, looking eager to try, and he couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Forty percent of his mental power has been consumed. He has no chance of winning against a swordsman who is at the same level but whose strength is well preserved.

The swordsman was concerned about Wang Gang, so he took the initiative to say to Lu Qingchen: "As long as you leave Li Yu's carriage behind, you can leave on your own, and I will not stop you."

Lu Qingchen coughed, and the flying sword flew faster and faster.

"You are a sword master, I am a mind master, you can't beat me."

The swordsman said confidently: "I admit that if you two join forces, I am no match for you, but it is still easy for me to hold you back for a quarter of an hour."

Lu Qingchen's heart trembled. He saw that the scattered horse thieves had gathered together again and were staring at Li Yu's carriage with eager eyes.

These horse thieves are well-trained and have great skills on horseback. It is obvious that they are experienced warriors. Ordinary horse thief gangs simply cannot have such combat effectiveness.

Lu Qingchen could only think of one possibility, that the hundred-man horse thieves were disguised as elite soldiers and generals, and that those who had such strength in the Tang Dynasty were not the ones who wanted to kill Li Yu.

Only Xiahou.

"I'm very curious, what benefits did Xiahou give you to let you assassinate the princess?" Lu Qingchen questioned the swordsman.

"I know you are stalling for time and want to recover your telekinesis, but I still want to tell you that I killed Li Yu not because of Xiahou, but because of the prophecy."

"When the night covers the stars, the country will be in turmoil."

Lu Qingchen fell silent. Li Yu married far away because of this prophecy. There were even rumors that a hundred years after the Tang Dynasty, a woman would rule the world!
The swordsman obviously believed the prophecy, so he came to kill Li Yu.

"Enough of that nonsense, come on!"

The swordsman slowly drew out the sword in his hand, and the essence of heaven and earth turned into sharp sword energy, and turned into a dragon.

The surging sword energy rushed towards him, and Lu Qingchen used his telekinesis to control the flying sword to block the first wave of sword energy. Bang!
A huge impact force was generated between Lu Qingchen and the swordsman. Countless sharp sword qi scattered, crushing everything within ten feet.

After the attack, Lu Qingchen snorted secretly, and a trace of bright red appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On the contrary, the sword in the swordsman's hand remained very steady.

Wang Gang stood aside and did not make a move. He was observing the swordsman's attack method, and the more he watched, the weirder his expression became.

"A sword master is someone who condenses the energy of heaven and earth into a sword and uses the sword energy to attack others? Isn't that a bit too simple?"

Lu Qingchen coughed, suppressed the fishy taste in his throat, and said to the swordsman: "Your swordsmanship belongs to the academy. Does the academy also want the princess to die?"

The swordsman snorted coldly: "I am an abandoned disciple of the academy. What I have done has nothing to do with the academy."

After he finished speaking, a red aura emanated from the swordsman's body, and the vital energy of heaven and earth around him seemed to boil and was continuously swallowed into the swordsman's body.

When Lu Qingchen saw the swordsman's appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked and said: "You are possessed by the devil! How dare you betray Haotian and choose the devil's way."

Wang Gang scanned the swordsman with his telekinesis, but was shocked to find that his telekinesis was also devoured by the other party.

No, to be precise, it was the mental power mixed with the vital energy of heaven and earth that was absorbed into the sword master's body like swallowing a whole apple.

After forcibly absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth, the swordsman's momentum became stronger and stronger, gradually reaching the peak of the Dongxuan Realm, completely surpassing Lu Qingchen.

Lu Qingchen was determined to survive at this point, and said to Wang Gang: "Take the princess away quickly, he has been possessed by a demon, if we delay any longer, we will all die."

Wang Gang glanced at Lu Qingchen strangely and said, "Can you deal with him?"

Lu Qingchen said righteously: "Even if I die, I will not let the remnants of the Demon Sect harm the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Gang curled his lips and said, "If you can't beat me, let me do it."

Lu Qingchen was stunned, and before he could react, he saw Wang Gang flying towards the swordsman.

It is not accurate to say that he was flying. It should be said that Wang Gang was sucked over by the swordsman.

The swordsman used the magic skills of the Demon Sect, and a terrifying suction force emerged from his whole body. It was already difficult for Lu Qingchen to resist the suction force.

Wang Gang completely gave up resistance and instead took the initiative to come to the swordsman.

"If you want to absorb, I'll let you absorb enough." Wang Gang pressed his palm on the sword master's chest, then used his mental power to drive the vital energy of heaven and earth, and actively poured the vital energy and mental power into the sword master's body.

The swordsman was stunned at this time. He had seen people who were willing to risk their lives, but he had never seen anyone like Wang Gang who would actively help the enemy and not care about his life.

The power of thought is the foundation of a practitioner, so how could anyone take the initiative to send someone off?

"Since you want to die, I will help you."

The swordsman opened his mouth wide, and the suction force on his body increased by three times, trying to suck Wang Gang dry completely.

But after a quarter of an hour, the swordsman noticed something was wrong.

"How can you have so much telekinesis? It seems to be endless."

Wang Gang smiled strangely, and all the pores on his body swelled. The vitality of heaven and earth gathered towards his body desperately, and then flowed into the swordsman's body.

“You can also…” The swordsman didn’t finish his sentence, and then he couldn’t go on.

Because he was supported by the surging vitality, his meridians were swollen and his body was unconsciously growing larger.

Ten breaths later, the swordsman's body swelled into a ball and exploded with a bang.

Lu Qingchen, who was standing nearby and watching the whole process, took a deep breath.
