Li Qingcheng fled to a mountain stream.

The stream was cold, so he put down his sword, held the stream in both hands, and drank it in big mouthfuls. Then he immersed his entire head in the water, trying to calm himself down.

Since entering the reed marsh last night, he lost contact with Zhao Langjiang. Li Qingcheng was ambushed by more than ten masters. After a night of fierce battle, he killed two Zhixuan and one half-step Tongxiang, but the price was not small. When he forced the half-step Tongxiang master, he was hit by a sword in his chest and rubbed the lung meridian. If he deviated a few inches, he might be the dead soul under the sword at this moment.

Since entering the world, he has been smooth sailing. Even when facing Sun Qiangu's pursuit, he is not as embarrassed as he is now.

Blood soaked his chest, and his clothes were already sticking to his skin. He tore his clothes apart, and a pain that penetrated his bone marrow was spread into his mind. He washed the wound with clean water. He took out the secret golden sore medicine made by the Li family and applied it to it. He then secretly wisps of broken clothes and treated the wound briefly. There was a sound of footsteps coming from the mountain stream. He did not dare to stop at all, so he held his sword in his hand and leaped onto a big tree.

He held the sword in his hand, held the spirit and calmed his breath, controlled his true energy one foot in front of him, and squinted his eyes and looked under the tree.

Three masked swordsmen in black came to the mountain stream and found blood on the ground.

A young swordsman said, "Uncle Master, that guy has stayed here."

The elder came forward and touched the blood. The blood had not condensed. He pondered, "He was hit by a sword in his chest. He should have not walked away yet. Hurry up and chased him. We will have the first achievement of our Lingnan Sword Sect."

Lingnan Sword Sect?

Li Qingcheng was shocked. A few years ago, Lingnan Jian sent him to Jiangnan to grab business. He was taught a lesson by the Li family and returned to the south obediently. Unexpectedly, this time he ran thousands of miles to the western border to chase him.

The young swordsman said a little worriedly, "That man said that Li Qingcheng's martial arts skills were not only Zhixuan Realm, but he killed our swordsman last night, and even Zhang Gongfeng was unable to survive. Our martial family came out in full swing. Is it worth it for Li Qingcheng?"

The old man said sternly, "This is the order of the Sword Master. Do you still want to disobey? Our Lingnan Sword Sect has never been able to go further in the future. If we can take this opportunity to help that noble man, although he will not dominate Jiangnan in the future, he will at least be on par with the Li family. Besides, even if the Lingnan Sword Sect does not do it, the other families in Lingnan will rush to do it. What's more, the noble man paid 300,000 taels of silver to buy Li Qingcheng's life."

The young swordsman was silent.

"Finish Li Qingcheng and kill him."

Another young man stood up with his hands down, and he whistled. A ferret jumped out of his arms, came to the stream, sniffed the blood on the ground. It squeaked and ran towards Li Qingcheng's hiding place. Li Qingcheng was shocked. No wonder these people could always find him. It turned out that he had such a way to track him. He held the sword in one hand, pinched a sword technique, and prepared to take action.

The three of them followed and looked over the tree.

Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Li Qingcheng jumped off the tree.

"It's really a ghost."

When the three of them saw Li Qingcheng appear, they surrounded him in the middle.

Li Qingcheng smiled bitterly and said, "300,000 taels, is my life worth 300,000 taels? How poor is your Lingnan Sword Sect? It is actually a begging business."

The three of them drew their swords and the old man smiled and said, "Young Master Li is so angry that he is worthy of being a wealthy family. Our Lingnan Sword Sect lives in a corner, so naturally it is not as good as the Li family in Jinling. But after killing you, it will be a different matter."

Li Qingcheng laughed loudly, and a severe pain came from his chest. He coughed a few more times, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He suddenly looked up and said sternly, "I'll pay one million taels to tell me who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and who wants my Li Qingcheng's life. A name, one million taels, is very cost-effective."

The young swordsman asked tentatively, "Do you have a million taels?"

Li Qingcheng sneered, "It's just my pocket money for a year."

The young swordsman was moved. He looked at the old man in black and said, "Uncle Master, I think this is more important than a business."

The old man in black angrily scolded, "Wu Chengcai, are you in your mind? You are afraid that you will have the life to make money for his million taels. Li Qingcheng is seriously injured now. As long as he kills him, 300,000 taels will be paid." He looked at Li Qingcheng and said, "The arrow is not turned back. Mr. Li, your conditions are very attractive, but our Lingnan Sword Sect has made a choice, we..."

Li Qingcheng interrupted: "Two million taels!"

The young swordsman said: "Do you think our Lingnan Sword Sect is greedy for you?"

"Three million taels!"

The old man in black was also moved.

As a boss at Xiaoyao Inn said, everyone has a price to sell themselves, but the price is different. One million taels cannot impress the old man in black, but three million taels, what is that? You can buy the entire Lingnan Sword Sect!

The young swordsman was taught a lesson by his uncle's righteousness and was very ashamed. When he heard Li Qingcheng's offer, he sneered, "Li Qingcheng, do you think we will betray our faith for money? It doesn't exist!"

Li Qingcheng said again, "Three million and five million taels, with one condition." He pointed to the two young swordsmen and said, "They must die!"

puff!

The young swordsman opened his eyes wide and looked at the old man in black in disbelief, "Uncle Master, you... actually..."

Seeing this, another young man was so scared that he ran away. He ran out more than ten feet away, and was stabbed through the heart by the old man in black. The old man in black wiped the blood from the sword clean on the corpse and smiled at Li Qingcheng, "I have to say that your conditions are very attractive."

Li Qingcheng waved to him and signaled him to move forward, "Who wants my life?"

The old man in black said, "The one who was expelled from the family by your Jinling Li family back then, this news is 3.5 million taels, which is worth it."

Li Qingcheng nodded, "It's really worth it."

"How do you plan to give me these three million taels? Cash or silver notes?"

Li Qingcheng suddenly moved, his body was like a ghost, passing by the old man in black. He smiled and said, "Minister Coin!"

Plop!

The body of the old man in black fell to the ground.

This sword almost exhausted Li Qingcheng's internal strength. He supported the ground with his sword, and his injured chest became thicker. He gasped heavily, dragged his sword and escaped into the mountains.

There were weeds growing in the mountains and forests. Li Qingcheng found a few herbs, chewed them, applied them to the wound, bandaged them again, and sat down to use his energy to heal the wound. Since the other party was coming to him, once he took action, he would definitely move all over the nest and chase them to the end, and he would never give him a handle. Li Qingcheng had to seize every opportunity to recover his skills. Fortunately, although the sword was seriously injured, it did not hurt the meridians. After the true qi was circulating for three cycles, his injuries had recovered by 30 to 40%.

When Li Qingcheng opened his eyes, he found two people standing beside him.

A middle-aged man with a tall figure and a clean face, must be a young hero when he is young.

Another old man in black, with a hunched figure, inserted his hands into his sleeves, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes. He respectfully said, "Three Young Master."

Li Qingcheng said in shock, "Uncle Fu?"

The Li family in Jinling has three sword servants, "Fu Lu Shou". After each generation of the head of the family will search for three talented young men from the world and take them as sword servants. They will teach them by the head of the family and the previous generation of sword servants. They will also practice the sword skills of the Li family. Although the three sword servants are nominally servants, they are just servants of the sword, not servants of the Li family. They have a high status in the Li family. Some ordinary three generations of disciples will call them uncle when they see them.

This black-clothed sword servant is Li Changfu, one of the three sword servants of Fulushou. He is the sword servant selected by Li Qingcheng, and he has the highest martial arts skills among the three sword servants. Even among the Li family in Jinling, he can rank among the top ten. Li Changfu once guided Li Qingcheng's sword skills when he was young, and he was both a teacher and a friend to him. So when Li Qingcheng saw him, he could hardly believe his eyes. He had thought about countless possibilities, and even Li Changsheng had doubted him, but never doubted that the person who wanted to kill him was the best Uncle Fu who regarded him as the best.

"Why?"

Li Changfu lowered his head and lowered his hands, showing a look of shame on his face.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "So you are Li Qingcheng. In short, you should call me uncle."

Li Qingcheng remembered that he had met this person.

Every ten-year high ceremony, the Li family members who were scattered all over the Central Plains would return to Jinling to pay tribute to their ancestors. This person also led his clan members to Jinling, but was turned away. At that time, he was far younger than now. At that time, more than ten of them knelt outside the Li family in Jinling for three days and three nights, and later it was the third uncle Li Shouye who invited them out.

"You are Li Guangzu?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It seems that you have a good memory. I didn't expect that you will have great achievements in martial arts after not seeing each other for several years. It's a pity that you are Li Xiaohua's son. So you must die."

Li Qingcheng was angry. He stood up, looked at Li Guangzu with his head held high, and said, "Just you?"

Li Guangzu said seriously, "At that time, our ancestors wanted to pass on the position of the head of the family to Emperor Qiang Gaozu of Jianxin. It was your family who secretly interfered and framed Emperor Qiang Gaozu, which led to our expulsion from the family. I once vowed before the position of Emperor Qiang Gaozu that we would regain what belonged to our branch and revitalize the glory of our Jianzi. You will be the first descendant of the Li family to worship my ancestors. In the opinion of all the same sects, I will leave you a whole body."

Li Qingcheng sneered, "You have so much nonsense, keep it and go to Li Jianxin to talk to you."

Li Guangzu said angrily, "Rareless!"

Li Qingcheng knew that this battle was inevitable. He held the sword in one hand and crossed his chest. He was posing the starting move of the Li family's sword technique. Jinling asked. This sword was a false move, but it was a coincidence that there were more than a dozen moves to follow. He could see that Li Guangzu's martial arts realm was far above him, at least in the Tongxiang Middle Realm, not to mention that he was still injured.

Li Guangzu said, "Call me uncle, I'll give you three moves."

Li Qingcheng was furious when he heard this, "Beast! Look at the sword!"

After saying that, the true energy moves, and he lifts the sword and attacks the three swords.

This move is called the Three-Strike Sword of the Illusion Sword, which is one of the most sharp attacks among the Li family's sword techniques. The three swords and one sword is as fast as a sword, like flowing clouds and flowing water, attacking Li Guangzu's three-way upper, middle and lower routes. As long as he guards one way, the sword move can change his moves in the middle and attack him the other two routes. Li Guangzu stood in place, motionless, and used a move to straighten his skeleton and break his three-way attacks with one sword.

Li Qingcheng was amazed. He had used this move to straighten the way, but he never expected that the effect would be very different with just a slight change. However, he did not dare to neglect and attacked more than ten moves in succession to draw the key points. Li Guangzu was calm and calm, and he did not use his internal strength to fight with the Li family sword technique. Li Qingcheng failed to attack, but was shocked. Both of them made the Li family sword technique move, and used the sword to come out the same source, but there were some differences in the subtleties.

For example, in the same move, Li Qingcheng led the defense in the attack, and there was an attack in the defense, but Li Guangzu's golden jade house was indeed unmoved and extremely sharp. It was this gap that restricted Li Qingcheng's sword moves everywhere. Li Guangzu deliberately wanted to tease Li Qingcheng and deal with him with the Li family's sword technique. Every move Li Qingcheng would be easily cracked by Li Guangzu, which would force Li Qingcheng into a mess.

From beginning to end, Li Guangzu did not move a single step.

After thirty or forty moves, Li Guangzu smiled and said, "No wonder the Li family in Jinling is now declining. Now let you see what the real Li family sword technique is!"

After saying that, Li Guangzu took a step forward and used three swords in succession. It was the three magic swords that Li Qingcheng used to hit the water before. The three swords were all out. Li Qingcheng felt dazzled. He wanted to use the curve to directly meet the enemy, but was picked up by a sword and hit a sword on his shoulder. This was Li Guangzu deliberately. As long as the sword just now was slightly tilted to the left, it was probably Li Qingcheng's throat, not his shoulder.

Blood goes down your shoulders.

Li Qingcheng was not frightened at this moment, but was a little discouraged.

Li Guangzu's sword move was exactly the same as the sword move he had just attacked Li Qingcheng, but the speed was faster and the moves were even more weird. Even though Li Qingcheng had already expected the attack of the next sword, he still could not avoid it, and he felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

The black-clothed sword servant Li Changfu stood beside him and saw the third young master at a disadvantage and was beaten to the point of being powerless. He sighed slightly.

After fighting for more than ten moves, Li Qingcheng knew that the other party was extremely familiar with the Li family's sword technique. Thinking of this, Jian Feng changed and used the sword as a knife to jump up in the air, slashing towards Li Guangzu. It was Li Jinping who taught him the nameless sword technique that day. This move was a big surprise to Li Guangzu. Seeing that Li Qingcheng's sword technique was rapid and he had a spirit of indomitable progress, he no longer dragged it. He used his internal strength and faced a move head-on.

Bang!

Li Qingcheng had a severe pain in his chest, and the true qi attacked the lung meridian. When it landed, he even supported the ground with a sword to barely stand firm.

He knew that this was a time of life and death, so he did not dare to neglect it. He used the true energy in his body, and pointed the long sword at Li Guangzu. The true energy fluctuated violently between heaven and earth, and began to gather towards Li Qingcheng.

Tongxiangjing.

When Li Guang's group saw that Li Qingcheng was so old, his martial arts skills had entered the Tongxiang Realm, he was surprised. Over the years, he had been focusing on his mind and practiced 7 or 8 hours a day. He only entered the Tongxiang Realm at the age of 33. Later, he was guided by someone and entered the Tongxiang Middle Realm half a year ago. It is because of this that he had the courage to challenge the Li family in Jinling. Li Qingcheng was only over 20 years old. If it were time, wouldn't it be a disaster? He made up his mind and must kill him today.

Li Qingcheng poured his true energy into the sword and attacked nine "swords" in a row.

The nameless sword technique was originally the essence of the martial arts of Xu Kaishan, and his moves focused on the meaning but not the style. Seeing that these nine moves were very clever, Li Guangzu successively used internal strength to solve the problem with the Li family's sword technique. However, his footwork was slightly chaotic, but he was not as calm as before.

After attacking the eleventh sword, Li Qingcheng suddenly changed his move, changed his sword into a sword, and at the turn, he used one of the three sword moves of the Li family in Jinling: the Shining Light and Ten Thousand Ways!

Countless true energy overflowed from the sword edge.

Sword Gang.
