Chapter 104: Famous in the Jianghu, Retreat in the Ancient Cave (Subscription Request)
An hour later, at the Yudai River.
Li Chengqian was covered in blood, his long hair was disheveled, he was staggering, and his eyes were full of despair.
After landing, he was attacked one after another. The horse he was riding had been tampered with, and even the saddle was poisoned.
After that, he was ambushed several times in succession. Although he escaped from the encirclement, he was also seriously injured.
But at this time, Jun Yanluo caught up.
"If I hadn't been seriously injured, I would have killed you today." Li Chengqian's arms were covered in blood, and he didn't know whether it was the enemy's or his own. His clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled. He looked extremely embarrassed.
hum!
The swords flashed and slashed fiercely towards Li Chengqian.
Lu Chengfeng didn't waste any words with him. He swung his sword one after another. The sword light was like a tide and his body was like a ghost. The sword light intertwined into a net and he collided with the enemy madly.
Even though Li Chengqian was seriously injured, he still used his hands to attack and defend with ease, and with his internal energy surging, he tried his best to resist the enemy's attacks.
puff!
A wound appeared and blood flowed out.
puff!
Another wound.
Lu Chengfeng was like a ferocious and cunning beast, always waiting for an opportunity to strike and inflicting one scar after another on the enemy.
"Ah..." Li Chengqian knew that if he continued like this he would be dragged to death. His clothes were swollen, his hair was flying backwards, and lightning was exploding in his pupils.
This is the forbidden technique of the Li family's Fengyun Pili Palm, which uses true Qi to stimulate the major acupoints throughout the body, generating lightning in the true Qi in the body, thereby bursting out with faster speed and stronger power.
Once this technique is used, at best the victim will lose all his power, at worst he will die on the spot. This is a desperate method.
However, this method has extremely high requirements for the control of true Qi, and even Li Xiaoyun has not mastered it.
Li Chengqian was trying his best at this time. His movements were as fast as lightning and extremely fast. When he struck out with his palms, the sound of muffled thunder was heard.
He fought fast, head-on, with such ferocity and violence that he actually forced Lu Chengfeng to retreat step by step.
Lu Chengfeng's sword flashed like water, dispelling the enemy's heavy attacks. This was no longer a move from the "Sword of Immortality". The opponent's strength increased dramatically, so he had to use the Xuanhe Thousand Shadows Tongyou Sword Technique and the Triple Tongyou Sword Intent with all his strength.
Li Chengqian didn't realize it at first, but after performing the forbidden technique, his whole body was in pain, as if he was cut into pieces by a thousand knives. His hair stood up and he madly released the power in his body.
However, when the power stimulated by the forbidden technique gradually subsided after it had drained away his vitality, his consciousness returned to normal as if from a last ray of light.
"How is this possible? The Immortal Killing Sword can only attack but not defend. It is the most advanced assassination technique. You..."
"No, what you cast was not..."
puff!
A sword light pierced fiercely into his throat, piercing through his tongue and throat and coming out from the back of his head.
All of Li Chengqian's words were cut off by this sword. His pupils widened and he stared at Lu Chengfeng with incredible eyes.
In his last moments, he guessed something he had not noticed before.
It’s a pity that he never had the chance to say it again.
boom!
Lu Chengfeng twisted the hilt of the sword in his hand hard, causing the opponent's head to explode. Only a headless corpse was left, spraying scarlet blood and falling to the ground.
"The Li family's genius is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
He sighed slightly. Even though he was seriously injured, the opponent was still able to push him to the brink of despair, and even used the Tongyou Sword Intent to its fullest.
"The twenty-first level of the Black Crane Thousand Shadows Sword Art is no longer enough. If I hadn't refined the gift from the Half-Step Heavenly Man, I would have died twice already."
"I must switch to practicing the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon as soon as possible!"
In today's two battles, the martial arts secrets of the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon provided him with immense help. Lu Chengfeng was already impatient to practice this magical skill and feel the power and terror of this peerless martial art.
He took a look at Li Chengqian's body, and used his true energy to smash the body into pieces, making it difficult for the enemy to detect the subtle traces he left behind, and then turned and left.
Things have come to this point, the enemy will only think about cutting him into pieces, and will never ask a master coroner to investigate the cause of death. It is not like solving the case. Li Chengqian died at the hands of Jun Yanluo, and everyone will know about it after tonight.
"The winner takes it all, the strong prey on the weak, this is the world of martial arts!"
The top ten geniuses on the list died in his own hands, in this desolate wilderness, without a complete body. Such an end was truly tragic.
Lu Chengfeng did not feel the slightest bit of joy or relief. Unconsciously, he became stronger and stronger, but he felt less and less secure. Only with even stronger strength could he feel at ease.
It seemed that if I stopped, I would die under the sword of others.
He sighed, and suddenly missed Luo Suyi who was far away in Yuncang.
He hadn't had a peaceful meal for a long time. No one helped him change clothes or wash up, no one was affectionate with him, and no one could let him sleep peacefully until dawn.
"It's rainy in the night, and I have a beautiful woman on my bed. Unfortunately, I am alone."
Lu Chengfeng left, quickly boarded a small boat, and disappeared into the night. …
This battle on the Yudai River has been closely watched by all major forces in Zhongzhou, and Li Chungang rushed here as soon as he got the news.
But when he arrived, it was too late. All he saw was Li Chengqian's broken body.
He stood there blankly for a long time, his gray hair a little messy in the night.
"Collect Qian'er's body, and find some water ghosts to fish out Xiaoyun's body from the river."
"Send someone to find out the whereabouts of Jun Yanluo."
"Send a message to Xiaotian and ask him to come back."
Li Chungang gave an order, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, looking a little tired.
……
After dawn, the news that the seventh person on the Fengyun List died at the hands of Jun Yanluo immediately caused a sensation in the entire Zhongdu, and then quickly spread to other places.
"Li Chengqian has already practiced the Wind Cloud Thunderbolt Palm to the twenty-fourth level. Is Jun Yanluo so strong? Isn't it said that he only has the twentieth level of martial arts skills?"
"It is said that Li Chengqian was attacked many times and was seriously injured. Jun Yanluo took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and finally succeeded. In terms of strength, Li Chengqian must be stronger than the other party."
"Bullshit, I heard that even the second master of the Li family died at the hands of Jun Yanluo."
"That's not certain, and no one saw it with their own eyes. It is said that the head of Sanxian Mountain, Crazy Monk, and the second head, One-eyed Mountain Eagle, both arrived last night. I think it was these two who killed the second master of the Li family."
"Two top masters have died. Especially Li Chengqian, who was the third-generation heir carefully cultivated by the ancestors of the Li family. The Li family will never let it go. I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future!"
……
There were discussions from all sides, but the top leaders of the Patrol Department were arguing endlessly. Jun Yanluo's actions, to some extent, represented the attitude of Youdu. Such a dangerous and crazy action by the other party was clearly full of malice towards Zhongdu.
"The Lord of Youdu will be heading to Yuncang Mountain in three months. Why would he provoke Zhongdu at such a critical moment? I think there must be something fishy going on."
"Yes, Jun Yanluo did kill someone, but he was holding the Patrol Order, and Li Chungang personally asked to follow the rules of the Patrol Order, so this is clearly a personal grudge between him and the Li family, and has nothing to do with our Patrol Department."
"I think you are really crazy. There are outsiders running wild in our territory, first killing people in broad daylight, and then besieging our Patrol Sky Division with bandits and assassins. You are actually going to turn a blind eye?"
"After the Lord of Nether City annexed the Northland, he will sooner or later attack Zhongdu, but you are hesitant and afraid to retreat. You don't even dare to deal with a mere Nether City disciple. In my opinion, it is better for you to surrender and become his slave."
The Sky Patrol was originally formed by the union of dozens of sects. It was complex and complicated with many factions within it, and each party had its own interests and ideas.
At this moment, Lu Chengfeng took action, like a stone breaking the calm surface of the water, causing the undercurrent that was originally beneath the water to instantly emerge to the surface.
The top leaders of the Sky Patrol had been arguing for several days. Some advocated sending experts to hunt down Jun Yanluo, while others proposed sending a large army to encircle and suppress the Three Immortals Mountain.
But some people think that this is the Li family’s business and should not involve the entire Sky Patrol Department.
For the sake of each other's interests and positions, various forces formed alliances and continued to work in public and in private, but without any results.
However, Lu Chengfeng did not give up. After Tianquan provided the whereabouts of the genius on the Fengyun Ranking, he attacked more than a dozen times within seven days.
Twelve of the thirty-six geniuses on the list of the best were killed.
With his current swordsmanship, unless there is a top-notch expert or a half-step celestial being to protect him, the geniuses after the top ten on the list will have no way out if he assassinates them.
Even Yun Jingxian, who was ranked ninth on the list, died at his hands.
Lu Chengfeng did not make a big fanfare when he took action, but instead used lurking assassinations. In just seven days, one third of the people on the Hot List were killed.
Zhongdu was shaken, Zhongzhou was shaken, and the martial arts world was shaken!
The name Jun Yanluo was well-known throughout the country and was known to everyone in the martial arts world.
The word "Yan Luo" is terrifying.
Such crazy killing completely angered the Sky Patrol Division, and led by Li Chungang, Li Xiaotian and two other Sky Patrol Division commanders assembled an army of 10,000 and sent half-step heavenly master to lead the charge and encircle and suppress the Three Immortals Mountain.
Lu Chengfeng had announced his breakthrough in seclusion two days ago, and sent a team to escort Zhao Tianyou and Su Wanqing to Youdu.
After the retreat, he chose to go to the depths of the Sanxian Mountain to retreat in an ancient cave that was difficult for outsiders to find. The terrain here was dangerous and sparsely populated. Only the boss Crazy Monk and the second in command One-eyed Mountain Eagle knew about this place.
After seeing Lu Chengfeng in seclusion and sealing the stone gate, the two began to make arrangements to deal with the army's encirclement.
The enemy's force this time is too large, so they have to break up into small groups and disperse deep into Sanxian Mountain to deal with this encirclement and suppression.
However, after the Crazy Monk and the One-Eyed Mountain Eagle left, Lu Chengfeng quietly returned to the cave, and then completely sealed the stone door, and left like a ghost.
Three days later, the ancient road leading to Youdu was flooded with blood and strewn with broken limbs. More than 20 bandits from Sanxian Mountain were all killed.
Lu Chengfeng held the blood-dripping sword in his hand, looked at the shocked Zhao Tianyou and Su Wanqing in front of him, and said slowly: "Come with me, I will take you to a safe place."
Zhao Tianyou felt like he was going crazy, and asked in great confusion: "Aren't they our own people? Aren't they going to Youzhou? What's going on? Where are we going?"
