Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 426 You Guessed It Right, I Am the Grandmaster
Chu Pingsheng said with a half-smile: "Identity exposed? Who knows?"

This half-answer "Who knows" made Si Lili lose her temper, and she didn't understand what he was thinking.

at the same time.

The treetops of the dense forests in the west undulate, the branches shake, and the leaves crackle.

At the campsite outside the carriage, a strong wind came from nowhere, raising dust that blocked out the sky and swept across the entire place, blowing up the court robes of officials from the Ministry of Rites. Some people's eyes were blinded by the yellow dust and they hurriedly covered their faces with their hands and turned aside to avoid it.

The eighth-rank swordsmen who were on guard around the venue drew their swords one after another and looked around with their eyes wide open as wide as possible. The wind came suddenly and was filled with murderous intent.

Wang Qinian, who was standing next to Fan Xian, looked at Gundam, who was holding a long sword and standing stubbornly against the dust, and whispered in Fan Xian's ear: "This... was also arranged by you?"

"..."

Fan Xian did not answer this question because he also realized that something was wrong. He just wanted Wu Zhu and Gaoda to put on a show. There was no need to make such a big fuss.

Could it be Bai Feng?

But the question is, didn’t Bai Feng promise Emperor Qing not to interfere with his actions against Sean?

Just as he was pondering over the puzzle, a turbid, heavy object suddenly appeared in the dust and shot straight towards the carriage where Sean was imprisoned.

Gaoda, the young man, shouted and rushed forward with his sword in hand. He was quite impressed that Lord Fan was so capable. With an enemy of this level, even if they fought with real swords and guns, let alone just a performance, they might not be the opponent even if they put all of them together.

So it only takes one move, and after that you can lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

The idea was good, but things were clearly out of their control. When Gundam used his sword to break through the sand and dust and headed towards the incoming black shadow, he discovered that it was not a person at all, but a rock several feet long.

It was too late to dodge at this time. Just as his sword was about to hit the flying stone, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

Gundam only vaguely saw a human face with a black cloth covering his eyes. He didn't know what weapon he used, which looked like a sword but not a sword, and like a gun but not a gun. He stabbed forward, and the stone that was several feet long and wide, which was enough to knock him away, broke in the middle.

Crackling...

Stone chips flew everywhere and fragments were scattered everywhere.

The figure that saved his life was like an arrow flying against the wind, shooting towards where the rock came from.

Who is that person? His strength has surpassed the ninth rank, right? Is that Bai Feng?
Just as Gaoda was thinking about this question, Fan Xian rushed to his side, stuffed a mask into his hand, and said urgently: "Quick, while there is chaos, go and release Sean."

"Sir, this is also your peace..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get started."

Upon hearing this, Gundam didn't think any more. He wrapped the mask around his face, took two steps back, chopped the chains that bound the prison van with a sword, and opened the door.

"Master Sean, I am a subordinate of General Uesugi. Please leave here immediately."

After that, he swung his sword twice, cutting the ropes that bound Sean. At this time, Fan Xian attacked from the side, and Gao Da hurriedly raised his sword to block him, and winked at him: "Hurry up and leave."

Sean didn't know what was happening outside, but since it was his adopted son Shangshan Hu who came to rescue him, it was naturally better than falling into the hands of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei. So he didn't think any more about it, rushed out of the prison car, and ran in the direction pointed by the masked man. On the way, he knocked away a convoy guard who tried to stop him.

Wang Qinian had already hidden behind the bunker according to Fan Xian's instructions. When he saw Sean fleeing the battlefield, he quickly used his Qinggong skills to follow him, and did not forget to leave some marks for Fan Xian to track.

On the other side, Fan Xian and Gundam were fighting and retreating. Fan Xian whispered to each other, "Go!" and threw a punch. Gundam was knocked into the woods behind. Without saying a word, he got up from the ground and turned around and left.

Fan Xian naturally would not chase them. Turning to look at the campsite, he saw the civil servants huddled together in fear, shivering constantly. Some others crawled under the carriage and hid with their heads in their hands. The accompanying guards were fighting with a group of masked men of unknown origin. In addition to Gundam, Fan Jian also gave him three swordsmen as tiger guards, all of whom were good fighters of the eighth rank. However, at this moment, they were just fighting back and forth with the masked men who took advantage of the chaos.

What is the situation?
According to his plan, he would let Wuzhu pretend to be a general of Uesugi Tiger and act out a play with Gaoda and others to rescue Sean from the prison van, and then extract the secrets about the temple and his mother from Sean's mouth, because Wuzhu told him that Sean had traveled with Ye Qingmei.

This was also one of the main tasks that Emperor Qing had given him. If Chu Pingsheng and Bai Feng had not intervened, it should have been a fairly simple matter. However, the sudden sandstorm forced his uncle Wu Zhu to fight back. What did this mean? Obviously, the guy who was hiding in the dark and attacking the prisoner car with a huge rock was most likely a great master.

If it’s not Bai Feng, then it must be... Ku He?
The question is why did Ku He want to kill Xiao En? Bai Feng and Chu Pingsheng, who had been flirting with the Emperor of Qing and had some connection with him, and who always put the blame on Ku He, should be the targets.

It's a mess. Everything is a mess.

Fan Xian looked at the double-swordsman who was fighting the white ape, and then at the masked man with eighth-grade combat power. He thought that Chu Pingsheng and Bai Feng would not sit idly by and watch Ku He's people kill the members of the delegation, so he drew his sword and chased in the direction Sean fled.

The masked men who raided the camp noticed his movements, winked at their companions, and shouted "Chase", and several of them forced their opponents back and followed behind the speaker, following in Fan Xian's footsteps.

The remaining three Tiger Guards saw that their master had become the target of the enemy and no longer cared about the lives of the envoys. They withdrew their weapons, ran away with swords in hand, and left the battlefield.

A masked man, without an opponent, glanced around the battlefield, then walked towards the motionless black carriage with a shining sword in hand. His eyes, which were exposed, were almost narrowed into slits, revealing murderous intent.

Compared with the chaos and constant fighting outside, there was no tense atmosphere in the black carriage. Of course, he was talking about Chu Pingsheng. He used warm water to brew a pot of green tea presented by Liangzhe Road, and drank two cups in a row. He even complained that the water temperature was not high enough, and the tea was a little raw and tasted bad.

Si Lili was not as calm as him. She stared through the window at the back, staring blankly at a double-swordsman with a red shawl around his neck, scars all over his forehead, and a hairstyle and hair accessories that made him look more like a barbarian from the northwest. He was facing a white ape holding a standard long sword, but was only slightly at a disadvantage and showed no sign of defeat.

"You don't know him?"

Chu Pingsheng noticed her expression and asked with a smile. Si Lili shook her head.

"Wolf peach."

"Lang Tao? He is Lang Tao?"

Si Lili had heard Haitang Duoduo say that she had a senior brother named Langtao, but she had never had the chance to meet him. She didn't expect to meet him here today.

"Prince Lanling...are you okay?"

"Prince Lanling is fine, but Fan Xian is in big trouble."

"What's up with him?"

"He thought that when we went to Northern Qi this time, Ku He would definitely try to test me. By then, Wu Zhu would have a helper. Two against one, I would definitely be defeated. Who would have thought that Ku He would intercept the convoy and kill Sean. Unfortunately, Wu Zhu recognized Sean and knew that he had traveled with Ye Qingmei. Fan Xian had something to say, so he naturally couldn't just watch Sean die. So Ku He didn't become Wu Zhu's helper, and the two of them started fighting first. I had carefully prepared a line for his appearance in vain."

"Line?"

"Your name is Ku He, right?"

Si Lili didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really are..."

"It's been three brews, so it's not a waste." Chu Pingsheng pushed aside the curtains and poured the tea in the cup into the yellow soil outside, turning it into a small puddle of mud.

"In fact, you should be more worried about that person than Lanling Wang and Fan Xian."

Si Lili looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a masked man holding a sword walking towards the carriage they were in, beyond the door curtain fluttering in the wind behind them.

The white ape was entangled by the wolf peach, and now the masked man was walking towards it with murderous intent.

Si Lili looked at Chu Pingsheng, who didn't take the sword or the staff, and was still thinking about washing the teacup: "Aren't you going to make a move?"

"Don't worry, we're just getting started."

As he was speaking, he heard a loud shout from behind, "Protect the lord." Four guards from the regiment quickly ran to the side of the carriage, stood on the left and right, and faced the approaching people with swords raised.

Si Lili breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

However, in the next breath, a scene occurred that almost frightened the two officials of the Honglu Temple who took refuge under a carriage loaded with gifts for Northern Qi not far away. The four guards who jumped out to protect Chu Pingsheng suddenly turned around, and four long swords stabbed into the carriage at the same time.

……

In a dense forest hundreds of meters away from the campsite, a man with half of his face hidden by a hood, revealing only a gray beard under his chin, was fighting fiercely with Wu Zhu. His wide cloak fluttered and flew in the constant movement and turns, and dead branches and leaves under his feet rustled and flew everywhere.

The iron rod in Wuzhu's hand was as fast as a snake spitting out its tongue, stabbing continuously.

He was extremely fast, and every time he attacked, there was no unnecessary movement or strength, and he used his body functions with an incredibly efficient efficiency. However, every time he attacked, just when the iron rod was about to hit the target, it would be blocked by an invisible force, and his speed would naturally slow down. While the man in the cloak would easily dodge, he would also take advantage of the situation and attack Wuzhu.

The one who could fight Wuzhu to a draw must be an extraordinary person. He was Ku He, the great master of Tianyi Sect of Northern Qi mentioned by Chu Pingsheng, and also the master of Lang Tao who fought against the white ape.

Click.

Unlike the previous two palm attacks, this time, Ku He's counterattack shook his arms, and before his fists touched the tree trunks, a pair of trees around him that were as thick as bowls were broken by his true qi and collapsed with a loud bang. The lush tree crowns pressed down on Wu Zhu, who had a strong posture and extremely agile movements.

The more the fight went on, the more frightened he became, and the more confused he became, because he didn't even see his opponent use his true Qi, but just relied on some unorganized moves to fight him on equal terms.

Didn't the intelligence say that the Great Master of Xihu, Bai Feng, created a dragon shadow with his palm and collapsed the main hall of the Princess's Mansion with one palm? Why...something is wrong. He just flew into the forest from the campsite and stabbed without explanation. Not only did his fighting style not look like the person I imagined.

Isn’t it said that Bai Feng likes to wear white robes and have flowing beard like an immortal?

The question is, if the opponent is not Bai Feng, then who is it?
His martial arts skills are somewhat similar to those of the temple messenger, and... the blind servant of Ye Qingmei in the rumors? But isn't he dead?

Ku He had never met Wu Zhu, and didn't know that Fan Xian had a grandmaster-level guard by his side. He brought his apprentice to the border between the two countries to intercept the diplomatic convoy, and his primary goal was to kill Sean in the prison car.

Although he and Sean had been friends through thick and thin when they went north to look for the temple, but later when they parted with Ye Qingmei, she asked them to strictly keep the secret of the temple. Ku He regarded it as a divine oracle and vowed to obey it. Sean's reaction was very intriguing, and he simply responded.

Later, Chen Pingping captured Sean and took him to Qing Kingdom, where he was imprisoned for twenty years. Many things happened during this period. Ku He suspected that Sean had leaked the secrets of Ye Qingmei and the temple, so whether from the standpoint of protecting the secret for Ye Qingmei or for the sake of the stability of the political situation in Northern Qi, he had reasons to kill Sean.

The problem is that Chu Pingsheng is also in the convoy. As long as Chu Pingsheng is there, Bai Feng is there. The previous operation of throwing the boulder was to see Bai Feng's attitude towards Sean, but he didn't expect to force him out to fight with him.

call……

He stepped forward, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground were picked up by the energy, like waves, rushing forward.

There were fallen tree crowns on both sides blocking the way, and the dead branches and leaves in front were as powerful as hidden weapons under the influence of energy. Wu Zhu swung the chisel to fight back, and Ku He felt that he had found an opportunity. He twisted his body, opened his hands, and slapped the enemy from top to bottom with his palms like a storm.
