Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song

Chapter 27 Chapter Thirteen
In the distance, there was a profound roar in the night sky.

The dazzling red peonies bloom in the rising fireworks, and the sparkling dust slowly falls and gradually goes out.Then, new peonies rose again in the firelight.

"It's so beautiful."

In the crowd, Li Bai looked up ecstatically.

Steps, a slight pause.

When I turned around, I looked at the vendors on the street. Behind the stalls supported by carts and charcoal stoves, the stall owners were busy with their heads down, while the guests on the benches raised their wine glasses and looked back at him. .

"Want a drink?"

Ji Xianke.

She still looked like she hadn't sobered up, wearing a fancy red dress, arms with tattoos stretched out from her bosom, and leaned on the table casually.

Put the second wine glass on the side.

"It smells so good, what is it?" Li Bai lowered his head, sniffing the rising breath carefully.

"It's just sweet-scented osmanthus wine, it doesn't wait for the elegant hall." The stall owner smiled, and the water and wine in the pot rose hotly, "Would the guests want some? This wine is not intoxicating, so it's okay to drink a little..."

"Now almost all the shady guys in Chang'an are staring at you. You are causing trouble for yourself."

Ji Xianke sighed, "Li Bai, if I were you, I'd finish this glass of wine and go home to sleep..."

He said, "Going forward, what is waiting for you is no longer lanterns and wine."

Li Bai didn't answer, but after asking the price, he took out six copper coins and his wine jug, and handed them to the stall owner: "Help me fill it up, thank you."

Ji Xianke didn't speak any more, just bowed his head and poured himself a drink.

It wasn't until the young man watched the fireworks in the distance that he finally made a sound: "Ji Xianke, if someone pushed an innocent person into the river in front of you, what would you do?"

"Me? It's too troublesome, please forgive me." Ji Xianke shook his head indifferently and waved his hands: "I don't want to do anything, as long as I can let me drink the wine quietly."

"But I will."

Li Bai said.

"The only thing I don't think is that I can't see anything, so we'll never sit and drink together, it's as simple as that."

He took the jug handed over by the stall owner, turned and walked forward.

From the beginning to the end, he never looked at the wine glasses on the table.

"It hurts."

Ji Xianke muttered nonchalantly, and raised his glass again: "It's a waste."

Behind him, a passerby in a black robe stopped in his tracks and asked coldly, "You let him go just like that?"

"Otherwise? Draw a sword and fight bloody, life and death are two points?"

Ji Xianke shook his head, half-drunk, "Too little money, too much work, too troublesome, not suitable for me..."

The mechanism master in black froze, unable to hide his anger: "Ji Xianke, you will one day incur the wrath of Wu Yougong because of your contempt!"

"No, I will not."

Ji Xianke raised his head and drank the last drop, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and threw it on the table to pay, "Don't rush to haggle, Qizhi, the opponent you are looking for has already left.

If you don't hurry up, you can't catch up with anything. "

After all, he didn't care, turned and left.

Humming a song, the footsteps are shaky.

Behind him, screams suddenly came from the brightly lit neighborhood in the distance, and all the light disappeared in an instant.

Darkness swept over and engulfed everything.

In the chaotic crowd, Li Bai's footsteps stopped abruptly. He listened attentively to the countless chaotic footsteps in the darkness.

Suddenly, he tilted his head.

Immediately afterwards, there was a mournful howl falling from the sky.

Under the dim moonlight, a ray of cold light penetrated a long distance, flew past Li Bai's hair, and nailed into the stone slab behind him.

The heavy iron arrow as thick as a thumb sank deeply into the stone slab, only the tail feathers vibrated violently above the crack, buzzing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Bai took another step forward.

As if he could see where the arrow came from, he brushed past death again.

Then, he raised his head clearly and looked at the pale moon hanging above the sky.

And the silhouette beneath the moon.

A few cities away, on the top of the pagoda of the ancient temple, there is a thin figure, and that hideous and huge longbow in his hand!

Robes rattled in the hurricane.

It was an old man with dim eyes and white eyes, but his arms holding the bow were as firm as iron, never wavering in the slightest.

Beside the old man, the middle-aged man was half-kneeling on the ground, looking out with the binoculars in his hand. When Li Bai looked at him from a long distance, he froze in place.

Frozen by the coldness in that sight, trembling involuntarily.

"The direction." The old man asked hoarsely.

He just lowered his head as if waking up from a dream, and compared the compass in his hand: "In the west, Bisuyouke·Xin is three minutes to the left, at Wushan, with a wind difference of two centimeters..."

Without hesitation, the old man pulled out the arrow on the ground that almost reached his shoulder, and fired again.

Howling burst out!

The mechanical bow of the mechanism bow Dragon Iron runs rapidly, transforming this terrifying power quickly, and pinning it on the iron string, causing the heavy arrow to come through the air again.

Yaoyao locked onto Li Bai's figure, without giving him any room to avoid it.

There is a flash of iron light.

The sound of steel colliding was harsh, but nothing could be seen clearly.

After the arrow whizzed past, Li Bai still stood where he was, but slightly raised the long sword in his hand, without taking it out of its sheath.The arrow had been deflected and pierced into the wall behind him.

"Is this what you rely on?"

He raised his head and looked at the enemies in front of him: "Compared to Qianku's archery skills, it's still far behind..."

On the deserted and dead street, figures appeared one after another in the shadows, with cold killing intent.In front, behind, and in the dark alley, there are countless people, and there is no end in sight.

It was as if the whole world was coming towards him with sword in hand.

And at the highest point is a giant steel python winding its way up. On top of the ferocious snake head, the black-robed mechanism master looks down coldly.

"The Blue Shirt Club, Seven Fingers."

In this way, after reporting his name, the organist said indifferently: "Li Bai, you are looking for your own death."

"People say that to me from time to time, but it's strange that I'm alive and the people who say it are usually dead."

Li Bai took a step forward, facing countless opponents, and told them with regret: "The world is impermanent, right? I'm used to it, and you should get used to it too."

He should have escaped.

Even Li Bai himself felt so.

An archer who can snipe himself from several squares away, and hundreds of opponents who are skilled in swordsmanship, not to mention the assassins hidden among them.

Even those organists who are watching around.

This is not a scale that can be fought against. It would be too unwise to want to fight with one against ten thousand.

Just like what he once said to Xun Qing, choosing to escape when necessary is also part of the battle.Otherwise, you will not be able to save yourself and wait for a chance to win.

"Unfortunately, this time is a special situation..."

Li Bai sighed softly inexplicably.

Sometimes, no matter how many enemies there are, no matter how big the gap between them is, you must never take a step back—once you step back, there will be nothing you want to protect!

and so……

"Come on, everyone."

Li Bai smiled and took another step forward: "I, to all of you—"

"--issue a challenge!"

At that moment, a group of pitch-black crows swept across the sky, and countless red eyes looked down from the night sky.

Block out the moonlight!

In the darkness, there was a roaring sound.

roar.

At the very front, someone finally mustered up the courage, clenched the long knife in his hand, and rushed towards Li Bai.

Immediately afterwards, those hungry predators finally couldn't bear it.

In this hoarse shout like a horn, I don't know how many people are screaming excitedly.Those surging figures were like tides, and they couldn't wait to jump on them.

Some people even slashed and killed in order to compete for the front position.

Above the snake's head, Seven Fingers frowned unhappily.

These bastards!

No cooperation at all... But it's nothing more than a bunch of greedy hyenas. Let them go up first, which will consume Li Bai's physical strength, and let him experience the consequences of seeking his own death!
But soon, his cold smile froze on his face.

Because Li Bai drew his sword.

The chirping sound of the blade jumped up from the countless noisy lingering sounds and spread, flying like a bird.Immediately afterwards, the blue sword energy like a lotus flower ignited the darkness, illuminating those bloodshot eyes.

The blade of the sword fell like a phantom light, but at that moment, all the opponents approaching in front of them froze in place, because Li Bai had disappeared without a trace.

After crossing the siege, break in!

Wherever he passed, a straight slash mark was left, and the phantom light of the blade criss-crossed in the darkness, and no one could make him stop.

Like a rock in front of a wave.

Raging waves and tides come crashing down, only to be smashed to pieces.

Very good and useful!
Li Bai murmured in his heart: The enemy is not a united army formation without any gaps, but on the contrary, no matter how many skilled swordsmen and killers there are, at best, they are just a bunch of mobs!

No matter how many people there are, what I need to face at the same time is only three.

Each shot has its own priority.

Then, find the gap between these three sieges, and then put them...

Completely smashed!

The sound of crane chirping rose from the blade, overwhelming all the sounds of steel clashing.

In this impenetrable crowd, Li Bai was actually moving forward!
The fierce trembling and fighting could not be seen, because all opponents and weapons were crushed at the moment of meeting each other!

Opponents hundreds of times more can't stop him, he is moving forward!

Even... in this dangerous and chaotic battle, there has never been the slightest embarrassment.

On the contrary, with ease!

It is often said that no matter what kind of opponent you face, you must go all out, just like a lion fighting a rabbit.

But now, the lion is just wandering loosely.

Those vicious and quick attacks were resolved one by one, without even hurting the lives of any opponents, just defeating them with the spine of the sword!

Is that mockery or pity?
neither knows.

But all he felt was shame and anger!
At this moment, right in front of Li Bai, the opponent who rushed forward froze, his chest was shattered, and a spear shot out from the shadow behind him like a poisonous snake, pierced through the blocker, and stabbed at Li Bai who was close at hand.

pupil!

The cold tip of the spear seemed to touch something for a moment, but then, it pierced through the air.Following the fall of the penetrated person, Li Bai had already crossed the barrier and came in front of the attacker.

The masked gunman's eyes trembled, but he didn't retreat. Instead, he turned the spear, threw the person on the gun, and held it upside down. The heavy butt of the gun hit Li Bai's face.

The blade of the sword collided with the end of the gun, sparks flew out, and the cuts continued?
Then, the gun turned around and swept across the middle!
Behind Li Bai, the assassin who had been waiting for a long time seized this crucial opportunity and appeared, stabbing Li Bai's back with a dark green dagger.

At that moment, on the pagoda, the spy trembled: "West, stand upright, upright!"

The organ bow and dragon iron screamed loudly.

The bow was drawn like a moon, and the steel roared. Under the old man's arm, the killing arrow was fully drawn, and the iron arrow flew out, turning into a meteor, and falling from the sky.

The heavy arrows quickly split, disintegrated, and differentiated in the air, turning into countless slender needles covering a radius of several feet. Now, the rain of arrows fell from the sky, covering everything!
On top of the huge snake's head, the mechanism master's seven fingers folded his hands together suddenly, pulling the mechanism's law, causing the giant snake to open its mouth, pointing at Li Bai who was surrounded, and spit out a fiery light.

This is the real kill!

The bright light hits the face.

Light up, Li Bai's smile.

so peaceful.

"Waiting for you to come!"

In his hands, the cyan sword intent lotus reappeared.

As if a pen descended from the sky, a perfect circle was drawn from the ground, and the endless sword energy brewed from the endless poetry swept across like a torrent.

over everything.

But Li Bai's figure became extremely erratic.

It seems to dissipate.

No, he was too fast.

At that moment that could not be fired, the body of the gun was cut off at the waist, and the dagger flew out backwards. split into two!
The fire dragon spewed out by the mechanism python suddenly shook.

A loud noise like a wailing spread.

Immediately afterwards, the flames spread out to both sides, and a lonely figure flew out of it holding a long sword, towards the giant steel python!

Seven Fingers roared, urging the giant snake to open its mouth and bite out towards Li Bai.

The snake's kiss cracked, collapsed from the center, and split, but the two long snakes quickly closed together, tightly entangled the opponent who was stepping forward.

Then, Qizhi's eyes turned blood red.

"Kuzizi!!"

The snake's belly burst, and the black shadow hidden in it smashed towards Li Bai, surrounded by raging fire.

The blade collided with steel.

was gripped.

Li Bai took a step back, raised his head, and saw a giant-like figure in front of him.

There are sharp barbs on the joints all over his body, covered with gold and iron, like an evil god from the battlefield, and with every move, he bursts out with endless power.

Is that a... organ armor?
No, not only that...

Holding Li Bai's sword blade in one hand, the other arm suddenly lifted up, aimed at his face, and then snapped off in the middle. What was exposed was not a human arm, but a complicated internal structure, and even countless rapidly rotating arms. machine included.

This is a killing machine created after gathering the life-long painstaking efforts of dozens of mechanics.

Institutional Man Kumazi!

At this moment, arrows like torrential rain flew out of it continuously, each of which was full of poison.

The sword energy surged, tore apart the tightly clenched steel palm, pulled it out, and blocked it in front of Li Bai.

But before all the arrows were shot, Kumaizi stepped forward again and rushed towards Li Bai like a chariot.The huge force set off a hurricane and smashed the fragile wall in front of it.

Li Bai jumped up into the air dangerously, pointed at its face, and stabbed!
In an instant, the hidden mechanism core was pierced through, but it did not hesitate in its movements, and continued to attack continuously.

Under its entanglement, Li Bai fell into the siege again.

From the siege, he raised his head and looked at the shattered visor and the cracked organ core. He couldn't understand why he could continue to move after the organ core was defeated.

Can't understand what's going on.

According to what Xun Qing told him, this kind of core that can become the center of the organization has always been a vital material, even the civilian version is fully monitored by Yu Hengsi, and it has been implanted since before birth There is an institutional law that cannot be violated.

- Absolutely will not kill!
"It's useless, it's useless, hahahaha! Kumaizi is invincible!" Seven Fingers laughed wildly, commanding Kumaizi to pull out a heavy halberd from behind and attack desperately.

"Give it up, Li Bai, if you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you may not be able to have a place in our market in the future, otherwise, today there is only one road to choose!"

"Sounds really good, but unfortunately, I'm not in the habit of negotiating conditions with villains!"

Li Bai shook his head and smiled disdainfully: "And you're wrong... Today, here, no one will die!"

Amidst the siege, the stroke of genius reappears!
On the long sword, the green lotus sword energy circulated and swayed like a stream, fighting head-on with the ferocious steel giant, the great halberd shook violently, but the sword light had already passed under the ribs of the grotto and pierced.

Ku Mazi's movements froze for a moment, and then, he counterattacked again!
And Li Bai narrowed his eyes.

Below the gap, is the second mechanism core...

wrong.

This is not an organ core, it should be said, not a real organ core!
This is not an intelligent organ man at all!

It's a monster created by some weird method!

In an instant, recalling the counterfeit product he saw at Cheng Yaojin's house, and the scrap product Xun Qing once got, Li Bai suddenly understood:
"Those fake agency cores, are you making them?"

Qizhi's expression froze for a moment, and then became more ferocious: "It seems that it is very important to keep you, Li Bai."

When his hands were clasped together again and the seal was formed, the hoarse chant of the mechanism masters came from the darkness: "Qianjing shines in the east of Yuchi, and the envoy of alliance power is named Qingtong. Throwing fire thousands of miles and shaking the palace, brave riders come quickly!" Dameng..."

With the operation of dozens of mechanism laws, the key is unlocked.

Kuzangzi's huge body shook suddenly, and the closed armor opened in the tremor, and strands of fiery light shot out from it.

The furnace is running.

The murderous weapon that was as ferocious as a ghost opened its mouth, and let out a high-pitched neigh that was like chewing gold and iron.

The high heat leaking out of the furnace core actually burned the bluestone floor tiles under his feet into red, entangled with layers of flames and storms, and behind Ku Zangzi's shoulders, two brand new arms appeared again.

Holding a halberd, holding a sword, holding a hammer, and holding a shield.

Four arms are majestic.

The moment the 42 pseudo-organ cores all over the body are activated, this war tool that has never left room for peace and creation has entered the over-limit mode!
In the overload state, kill both the enemy and us!

Treating all obstacles as straws, it turned into a storm in an instant, slamming into Li Bai, and launched an attack at a terrifying speed that was difficult for the naked eye.

The ground cracked and the walls crumbled.

The corpses were completely burned, and the stalls, shops and everything on both sides were shrouded in flames.

There were screams and hisses.

Those hyenas who were blindfolded by money finally found out what kind of monster was hiding beside them, and they were terrified, but the lonely figure stood in place without moving a step.

Unbeatable!

No matter how violent the attack is, it can't cut through the misty sword energy like mist and dew!

He was... still moving forward!
Smiling disdainfully, mocking the opponent.

"With such ability, do you want to be the owner of the workshop?"

Is that all?

Why do some people always think that with power, they can dominate everything?
But in this world, there are still those who toil all day long and bury their heads in the loess, and there are also those who walk the streets and alleys for their families and work tirelessly.

A person who sacrifices everything for his children, a person who clenches his teeth for hope.

There are also people like Xun Qing who run and work day after day for other people. They are obviously as embarrassed as wild dogs, but after falling down, they crawl tiredly, even if they cry, they have to stand up again!
Li Bai said, "There are people stronger than you!"

"Who will be the owner of the workshop? This is our...an internal matter. You, an outsider, don't be ignorant of good and bad!" Qizhi's face twisted, and he roared hoarsely: "The things in the Jianghu of Chang'an have nothing to do with you at all!"

"Perhaps so, but this does not prevent you from angering me!"

In the burning flames, the figure slowly moved forward: "I hate it, there are people who are high above and trample on other people's hard work and life, and take pleasure in it.

I hate that some people push people into the vortex of misfortune for their own benefit, so I must do it. "

Just like that, he cut through the billowing smoke and flames, raised his pupils, and told the mechanism monsters and countless opponents in front of him: "There is great injustice in the world, and I can't eliminate it!"

The sword qi screamed!

The surging echo burst out from the blade, tearing apart the noise and the night, echoing in everyone's ears, like a crane chirping above Qingyun.

such a powerful force.

Not from the sword, but from Qi!

The will that comes from the self, and the majestic courage to cut through everything and destroy everything!

The sky-like blue was held in his hands, illuminating a pair of pupils completely different from the past—no more confusion, no more confusion, firm as iron!

It's just this invincible will that makes the earth faintly turbulent.

Is it the lightness and elegance of the white crane soaring in the sky, or the peerless grace of the world?

It's really hard to tell.

But this young man is no longer the heavenly man he used to be.

People in the sky can come and go at will, without restraint, without worries and fears, so they cannot appreciate the determination and suffering on earth, nor can they possess this indomitable will and awe-inspiring courage!

It is this soul from the ground that can create the power above the sky.

Good luck!
I don't know when it started, the surging sword intent gradually changed from fog like dew to like a stream, and in the end, every time the sword air flowed, there would be a surging echo.

Like a mighty river.

At that moment, Seven Fingers finally understood.

Perhaps, this is the biggest mistake he made.

He thought that the sea of ​​people could consume Li Bai's strength, but that's not the case... because the more people block him, the stronger he is!

Every time the sword energy is swayed, it is a transformation, and every time the sword energy is broken, it will usher in a new rebirth.

In the fierce battle, not only did this strength not fade away, on the contrary, the more he fought, the stronger he became!

At this moment, infinite power is surging in it, continuously superimposed and accumulated, and has formed a magnificent momentum that turns everything into dust!

No longer streams and rain and fog.

It is a big river with no end.

now--

——Sword of the Great River, come from the sky!
At that moment, the darkness was swept away from the rising iron light, and the dark clouds trembled and shattered, making the outline of the bright moon reappear, illuminating the white clothes.

Also, the mighty rushing Cang Qing!

If the sky is held in that hand, it is like a poem.

Wanduan's armor, unmoving iron stone, hard bones, weird moves, and even unimaginable speed can't resist it.

When it fell, everything shattered like a bubble.

When Li Bai stepped forward, the cave trembled, the hammer cracked, and the long halberd broke. No matter whether it was a sword or a shield, no man-made dead thing could resist the world's sharpest spirit!

Between the heaven and the earth, there is only the loud noise of the mighty river running.

Solemnly flamboyant.

A sword!
Seven fingers froze in place.

Staring blankly at the scene of the blue sky tearing everything apart, together with Li Bai, they crushed and split everything mercilessly.

In the end, pass by.

In front of him, Kumaizi's broken body fell apart, all the forged mechanism cores collapsed, and several screams of fear came from afar.

The soul-killing sword has pierced into their perception along with their perception connection with Kumengzi!

Seven orifices bleeding.

In the distance, above the pagoda, there was only a loud crack.

Across dozens of miles, sword energy flew over.

The mechanism bow Dragon Iron was broken in the middle, and the old archer was covered by the high heat and debris leaked out of it, staggered back and couldn't stand up again.

In the dead silence, among the wreckage of countless organs, only Seven Fingers knelt on the ground, sweating profusely as he watched the figure walking step by step.

Shivering.

"Maybe, all the fish will not be in the same sea, but today I will tell you—"

Li Bai lowered his eyes and declared calmly:

"—No matter which river or lake it is, it is my river or lake!"

Never stopped.

Li Bai passed him by and walked towards the end of the long street.

But in a trance, Seven Fingers saw a rolling green, like a long river, following behind him, engulfing himself...!
The screams of terror stopped abruptly.

Can't hear you anymore.

Those gathered crows scattered in horror, no longer daring to cover that thin figure.

Under the moonlight, so quiet.

Only the young man left peacefully with the singing from afar.

Just like a white crane spreads its wings and flies into the distance.
