Chapter 335: Truly unrivaled in the world!
Sad news: there is no third ending, alas.

Good news: I managed to win the second time on my own.

...No charge for the above...

……

"Ah."

Ruan Yushu's expression remained unchanged and he answered coldly. He didn't think Gu Meng was bragging.

During this period of time, she also understood the general strength of the people in this world. She came from a wealthy family and had a broad vision.

I feel that with Gu Meng's record of being number one on the human list, he will not fail in this world. At most, if his teammates are not around, he will have to be careful when encountering top masters, but Gu Meng will definitely be fine.

After checking the food, Taoist Tiger discovered that this was a strange poison that was ineffective against living things other than humans. Although it was not a particularly rare kind of poison that even gods and immortals could not cure, it was an ordinary poison in the martial arts world and was more than enough to kill people like them.

Gu Meng patrolled around but didn't find anyone suspected of being Du Wuchang. Maybe he had already escaped after poisoning him. So he might as well sit cross-legged and meditate tonight, listening carefully. As long as he paid attention, he didn't believe that anyone could hide it from him.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard someone quietly get up, walk out of the room, climb over the courtyard wall, and flee quickly.

Gu Meng was stunned for a moment, sighed, but did not stop it.

After the first one, there was the second and the third. In just one hour, nearly twenty people climbed over the wall and escaped.

At dawn, as soon as Gu Meng walked out of the room, he heard Lu Zhongqi's angry voice: "What a bunch of cowards! What chivalrous people they talk about, but when they meet Du Wuchang, they run away with their tails between their legs!"

At this time, apart from a few family guards, the only people left around Lu Guan were Taoist Hu, Jiao Chong, and two or three good men from the martial arts world.

Lu Guan looked calm, without any anger on his face: "It is a sense of loyalty for all my friends to come to help me. It is my honor. It is human nature to want to leave because you are worried about yourself. It is natural and there is nothing wrong with it."

He bowed solemnly to Gu Meng, Tiger Taoist and other remaining heroes and said, "This journey is dangerous and there is a high risk of death. Please think carefully before setting off with Lu."

"Now that I'm here, I don't care about life or death!" Taoist Hu said passionately.

Gu Meng put his hands behind his back and said, "They are just some little ghosts, nothing to worry about."

He just regretted that Du Wuchang didn't come last night...

That's right. Regardless of whether he succeeded in poisoning us or not, we would have been on guard, and it would have been more difficult to attack continuously.

Ruan Yushu didn't pretend to be like Gu Meng. He just nodded slightly, indicating that he would not leave either.

Lu Guan was deeply moved and bowed again: "I will never forget your kindness."

The group set out again, but compared to yesterday, there were 60 to 70 percent fewer people. The desolation revealed an indescribable sense of tragedy.

On the way, Lu Zhongqi looked at Gu Meng and Ruan Yushu and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that you two are young but have the demeanor of ancient knights. I'm sorry to trouble you to escort Marshal Lu to the capital."

Due to the serious reduction in manpower, he had to pay attention to Gu Meng and Ruan Yushu.

The crowd dressed up as merchants, went out of the city, and soon reached the wilderness. There were gradually more and more trees, some of which had fruits hanging on them.

Several housewives and martial arts heroes could not bear it as they had not eaten for half a day and a whole night, so they started picking fruits to fill their stomachs. It was impossible that such natural things were poisoned, right?

After checking the fruits, they felt that they were fine, so they picked a lot of them. While thinking about presenting them to Lu Guan, Gu Meng and others later, they also wanted to eat a few themselves.

Suddenly, the fruit was knocked down by the sword energy.

"It's poisonous, don't eat it."

Gu Meng was very frugal with his words and looked deep into the jungle. He found that the enemy was not around yesterday. It turned out that they had ambushed here in advance.

The people in the forest knew that Gu Meng had discovered them, and hurriedly shot out three poisonous needles, which were directly repelled by Gu Meng's fleeting domineering thoughts. At the same time, a "knife" made of invisible sword energy appeared in Gu Meng's palm.

"That's...Ba Dao?" Ruan Yushu said in a low voice. People around him were also confused.

This skill of "gathering Qi into a blade" and the "invisible Qi" that was used to protect the body just now are of extremely high value in this world. No one knows what kind of miraculous skill it is or whether it is a strange technique. They instantly realized that it was no wonder that this man had such a strong aura and spoke like a top master. They thought it might be just because of the arrogance of the young man, but they didn't expect that he was really awesome.

With a whoosh, another thin blue light shot out from somewhere and was blocked by Gu Meng again.

"You are just a sly trick. Come out and get yourself killed."

Du Wuchang has already given up. There is a top master on the opposite side, so he hides himself, hoping to get away with it.

"I smell fear... You don't dare to come out? It seems that you choose to die where you are. Well, this is where you will be buried."

Gu Meng raised his hand slightly, and the knife had already penetrated the sky and the earth, as heavy as a mountain in the spiritual world.

The method of changing the sky and striking the earth was used naturally, and the mental dominance had condensed into substance, firmly suppressing Du Wuchang.

A mound of earth in the forest moved slightly. Inside, a gray old man had obvious fear on his face. He wanted to escape and beg for mercy, but he could not move or speak.

"boom!"

The huge knife had already fallen, like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, making Lu Guan and the Tiger Taoist who was protecting him dizzy. Ordinary people in the martial arts world and Lu Zhongqi and others fell to the ground with buzzing heads.

What kind of swordsmanship is this? What kind of unparalleled martial arts skill is this? I've never heard of it before?!

That’s right, this is the domineering Haki that only one in a million people can find! (bushi)

They had never heard of the forty-meter-long sword that fell from the sky, and could only remember the word "tyrant sword" that Ruan Yushu had just whispered.

This martial art will never be forgotten, and whenever anyone asks what the best martial art in the world is, they will have to answer that it is this domineering sword.

In the future, if any of your acquaintances encounter Ba Dao, don't even think about using force. If they do, cut them immediately no matter who they are. Don't mess with them...

Wait a minute, this level of mental intimidation, could this be the legendary grandmaster's realization of the unity of heaven and man?

I originally thought so, but now I feel it’s not right.

He is much more powerful than the legend says. If the grandmaster is really so powerful, why are the forces in the martial arts world arranged like this today? Shouldn't the grandmaster crush the best? Shouldn't the forces with the grandmaster be more arrogant? Or do the best masters also have their extraordinary qualities?
They almost doubted their lives, thinking that their vision was too low. If they had watched "Swordsman", they might have put themselves in Lin Zhennan's perspective.

However, as the hope of the court, Lu Guan had a lot of experience. He realized at the first moment that it was not everyone's problem, but Gu Meng's problem.

This person, this person has probably surpassed all the great masters of the world and reached the incredible realm of immortals.

Even Ruan Yushu, who was born in the Real World, was shocked. She had seen martial arts performances on location, but she had to say that even if it was an ordinary location, in terms of momentum, it was probably not as terrifying as the unbreakable Hun Yuan and the domineering aura that swallowed mountains and rivers when Gu Meng drew his sword. He was worthy of it.

It seems that the description on the human list is true. I thought that only by relying on some external objects or a temporary burst of martial arts with great flaws could one achieve this. But now it seems that he can use it casually against an ordinary enlightened opponent like Du Wuchang, who he might even be able to defeat in a one-on-one fight. It is clearly just a normal attack.

She became even more curious about Gu Meng. What secrets did he hide?
……

There is no need to say much about the consequences of poisoning with a knife. It would be good enough if only some meat sauce and bones were left.

Fortunately, he hid underground during his lifetime, so the blood was not exposed, and there was no need to dig a pit to bury him. It was really convenient to bury him underground.

This man has foresight, though not much.

"They are just some little ghosts, nothing to worry about..."

Seeing this scene, Gu Meng's proud words yesterday emerged in Tiger Taoist's mind.

It was indeed a little devil. Although he had never seen a grandmaster fight with all his strength, he had to say that this man's skills were unprecedented in his life. He could not even imagine that there was a martial artist with such high skills. He unilaterally declared that Gu Meng's martial arts skills were the best in the world. With a clang, the sword energy dissipated. Gu Meng's hands were empty. He carried the two swords that he liked to play with during his reincarnation, and turned around leisurely, showing the demeanor of a master.

One can't help but wonder if this person is an expert in both swordsmanship and knives?
Which is stronger, a bare-handed knife or a sword? If a sword is stronger? It is really hard to imagine...

Maybe he doesn't know how to use a sword, and the sword is just for commemoration, so he carries it with him?

These speculations are meaningless. Anyway, he has such power and such a domineering mind. If he has murderous intentions, I would not even dare to run away. It is already a courageous act to stand and die...

"Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu, your martial arts are so great. I feel at ease with you around." Lu Zhongqi climbed up and said staggeringly.

Lu Guan could not hide his shock. Was this man really coming to Beijing just to escort him? How could I have the qualifications to be associated with such a legendary figure in the martial arts world?

……

In short, because of Gu Meng's great power, even though the team is now seriously reduced in number, the huge team of nearly thirty people when it set out now has less than ten people including the loyal servants (twenty ran away last night), but everyone only has a heroic ambition, but no feeling of grief and indignation.

Can such a small number of people win? Can they reach the capital?

Isn't this nonsense? You can definitely win!

All this was because of Gu Meng. Otherwise, the first opponent, Du Wuchang, would be enough to make Lu Guan, who was demoted and had no army or experts to protect him, feel uncomfortable. Even if Tiger Taoist and others tried their best to protect him from this disaster, he would be destined to die on the way back to Beijing. Maybe this is the real plan of the court.

The stupid court is fighting among itself with all sorts of tricks, but they are just stupid.

General Lu couldn't see through it, but his subordinates had already seen through it. If he were still in the army, he would even dare to risk his life to persuade General Lu to wear the yellow robe.

If it wasn't for Lu Shuai's insistence, forget it...

……

Don’t want to think about the past, let’s return to reality.

Lu Zhongqi couldn't help but look at the expressionless Gu Meng and Ruan Yushu. Who are they?
With such martial arts skills, he should have been a household name in the martial arts world long ago. Could it be some hidden sect?
……

A few more days passed like this.

The mountains are undulating, the mountain wind is cold, and the dilapidated mountain temple is leaking wind everywhere, which makes the fire shake and the shadows twist and stretch like evil spirits with bared fangs and claws.

Lu Zhongqi ate the freshly baked white flour buns and looked at the jumping flames in a trance, recalling his past.

Several people slept in the open air all the way to the capital, and now they are almost arriving in the capital.

He also encountered many intercepting masters, most of whom were not as powerful as Du Wuchang. Gu Meng didn't necessarily even take action. Sometimes it was other people, and sometimes it was Ruan Yushu who took action to gain experience.

Everyone also discovered that Ruan Yushu was actually using the sound of his piano to kill people. His methods were unpredictable and his skills were quite advanced. Of course, he was far inferior to his colleague Gu Meng and belonged to the category of martial arts masters who were still in the process of understanding.

However, despite this smooth sailing, Lu Zhongqi did not feel at ease. The closer he got to the capital, the more nervous he became. The traitors in the court would definitely not stop there. There would definitely be stronger masters coming. This made him somewhat worried. What if Gu Meng was not careful or lured the tiger away from the mountain...

However, when he saw General Lu sitting in front of the fire, reading a book, eating steamed buns, and looking at a military book, he was calm and composed, and there was no panic at all as he was in danger and the enemy might attack at any time.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged with two swords across his knees, but he had a magical feeling that he could see everything. There was an invisible aura around him, and Gu Meng felt very safe, and all his worries disappeared.

With such great teammates, what is there to be afraid of?

Taoist Hu also thought so. General Lu was indeed a great general who could see the elk rising from his left and never blink, and Gu Meng was indeed a true master.

Looking at Ruan Yushu, who was playing the piano gently with a calm expression, he sighed in his heart that the little girl was worthy of being Gu Meng's companion. She was much calmer than himself. It was true that the older one gets in the world of martial arts, the more timid one becomes.

Taoist Hu took the long sword from his back, pulled it out with a clang, and stroked it gently.

This Tiger Roar Sword has been with me for nearly thirty years and has drunk the blood of countless evil men. I hope it can help me overcome the difficulties this time.

My own death is not important, but if General Lu gets into trouble, it will be a disaster for all the people in the world.

Suddenly, his right hand, which was groping for the sword, paused, and he looked towards the door of the ruined temple with shining eyes.

I saw a man standing there, a tall man, holding a broadsword in his hand. I don't know when he had been standing there, quietly looking at everyone in the temple.

Taoist Hu could recognize him. The man who came was a famous swordsman who traveled all over the Nine Provinces, only slightly inferior to the strongest people in the world such as the Evil King and the Ghost King.

"General Sword..." Taoist Tiger stood up suddenly, pointing his Tiger Roaring Sword at an angle. His voice was deep and his face was solemn, but he was not panicked.

What a joke! How could I panic? All the first- and second-rate invading warriors were killed. The opponents probably don’t know how strong our teammates are, so they dare to come and die.

General Jian has profound internal strength and his sword skills are vigorous and fierce, just like a general charging into battle, hence his nickname of General Jian. His strength in head-on combat far exceeds that of Du Wuchang, and he once challenged nine first-rate masters alone and killed them all with his sword.

Whether in terms of reputation or military achievements, he is far superior to Master Hu. However, everything is most afraid of comparison.

What is a first-class master? When Gu Meng attacked, he probably didn't dare to do anything because they were not on the same level.

General Jian saw Lu Guan put down the military book in his hand and slowly stand up, as if he was planning to join forces with Taoist Hu to fight against the powerful enemy. He did not look panicked.

General Jian also praised him secretly, but he did not think that Lu Guan could cause him much trouble in the fights in the martial arts world. After all, the Lu Guan in this world was not a peerless warrior of the same generation as Yue Fei, and his martial arts skills were not that high.

As for the rest of the people, a young girl was still playing the piano. The sound was faint but the artistic conception was lofty, but what was the use?

There is also Gu Meng who is sitting cross-legged... This person has a strong aura, maybe he is a master? But if he doesn't stand up now, he is looking down on himself!
Gu Meng still didn't move, but General Jian had stepped in step by step. Every step he took seemed to make the ruined temple tremble. After seven steps, Taoist Hu's hand holding the sword began to tremble a little. The man in front of him seemed to be getting taller and taller, like a giant in mythology and legend!

This is a characteristic of this world where masters tend to struggle with spiritual energy. If this link fails, they may even be defeated by the weak. Take The Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty for reference.

"Master Hu, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you leave, I won't stop you." General Jian said in a deep voice.

Taoist Tiger took a deep breath and said, "General Lu is the hope of the world and is related to the disaster of the Western Tartars. As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. I am an incompetent Taoist, but I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for the well-being of the people of the world! You are doing evil things, and you will be punished sooner or later!"

General Jian then looked at Lu Guan again: "I really don't want to kill you with my own hands. If you run first and I'm entangled by the people here... I may not chase you."

Lu Guan remained motionless: "I have never thought that my life is more important than others. Although I am strict in commanding my subordinates, I always lead by example. Only in this way can we have an Iron Mountain Army that will never retreat from a hundred battles."

When he spoke, he was full of vigor, as if he was leading an army of hundreds of thousands, which made General Jian's face change slightly.

Influenced by this, Lu Zhongqi immediately said generously: "As long as the people are alive, the battle will not be retreated. As long as the Iron Mountain is there, the barbarians will be destroyed!"

General Jian drew out his long sword with a clang. The sword blade was as wide as a door panel.

"I have received great favor from you, so I have no choice but to come and kill you. Please accept my greeting."

General Jian saluted solemnly, then with a calm expression and a hint of compassion, he drew his broadsword and was about to launch an attack.

At this moment, Gu Meng, who had been stroking his sword indifferently, suddenly stood up. With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed in all directions.

He looked at General Jian and said expressionlessly:

"You use a sword too?"

General Jian's expression changed, not because of Gu Meng's words.

But it was because he saw a supreme "Heavenly Sword".
