Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 123 The dust has settled

The lightning struck swiftly, closing in on Lu Yunshi to within an arm's length in the blink of an eye. Even Zhang Tieshan, inside Lu Yunshi's body, couldn't see when Lu Yunshi's sword moved; he only noticed it when it was already there, blocking the lightning's downward strike.

Suddenly, Lu Yunshi opened his eyes slightly, and a sharp aura burst out from his body, shattering the lightning directly. Amidst the violent impact, Li Qing was sent flying and crashed heavily into the barrier.

This time, he tried his best but could not get up, and he no longer showed any signs of self-healing as before.

"Some things are indeed impossible to achieve without sufficient strength. I thought that lousy book could only help me pass the basics of swordsmanship, and the rest was just random writing. I never imagined that after reaching this level, everything would become so clear."

Looking at Li Qing, whom he had knocked to the ground, Lu Yunshi casually twirled his sword and walked forward, saying as he did so.

As they spoke, Lu Yunshi stood in front of Li Qing and smiled slightly. "It seems I shouldn't have used it to prop up the table legs. After all, the old master's book, the idea of ​​becoming a Sword Emperor in three days is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not bad either."

Even Lu Yunshi himself found the way he wielded the sword just now amazing.

It wasn't that I was leading the sword, but rather that the sword was leading me, as if a child had seen me and was happily taking my hand to explore my world.

Lu Yunshi seemed to understand more of the principles in that book, "The Three-Day Crash Course to Sword Emperor".

Once you have the ability, it's not that hard to understand. You'll understand it naturally. Those people are really something. Did they not read the books carefully after buying them?

After a moment of internal monologue, Lu Yunshi placed the sword on Li Qing's head.

"As for you, I don't need to say anything more."

Li Qing struggled to open his eyes, his gaze burning with a wicked rage. "Haha! You're all wrong! You're all wrong! I'm right! What justice? Justice doesn't watch others suffer and part. Only by entering my world, where everyone is the same, can..."

Before Li Qing could finish speaking, Lu Yunshi had already lowered his sword, casually watching the clone gradually dissipate beneath his feet.

"It's all nonsense, completely illogical and meaningless, I can't be bothered to listen to it."

After saying that, Lu Yunshi turned and walked towards the blood-red sphere. "Now, this is his weakest moment, isn't it?"

Lu Yunshi placed his hand on the surface of the sphere and felt no repulsion at all. This blood sphere could no longer exert any power, and even the soul within it had fallen into a deep sleep.

If we ignore it, we can hold out for a few more years, but if we can manage that, it's better to kill it.

"Leave the rest to me," Zhang Tieshan's voice rang out, and almost simultaneously, his soul appeared as a phantom beside Lu Yunshi.

After leaving Lu Yun's body, Zhang Tieshan's soul weakened and faded at a visible speed, but now that everything has settled, it's not a big deal anymore.

As Zhang Tieshan left, Lu Yunshi's complexion quickly weakened. The injuries and other wounds that had been suppressed by Zhang Tieshan were now eager to defeat Lu Yunshi, but Lu Yunshi did not show any expression. He just nodded calmly.

"Remember what you said."

"Don't worry, I've been waiting for this moment of atonement for a long time." Zhang Tieshan sighed. "Let this guilty master personally send off this guilty disciple. It's alright, at least I can accompany him."

After saying that, Zhang Tieshan placed his hand on the blood-red sphere. He intended to use his own soul power to enter the sphere and perish together with Li Qing's soul, thus bringing everything to a stop.

But at this moment, his expression was filled with hesitation and pain.

Lu Yunshi noticed everything. He stared intently at the other party and said, "Sect Master Zhang Tieshan, I hope you can make the right choice this time and not let your disciple's suffering spread throughout the world."

"At least, I don't want to do so much only to have it all go to waste."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tieshan was shaken and remained so for a long time. Lu Yunshi said nothing more and turned to leave.

Without Zhang Tieshan's help, if he stays in the Iron Mountain Sect, which is filled with strange spiritual energy, his condition will only get worse. If he doesn't leave soon, he might not be able to get out.

When Lu Yunshi staggered to the halfway point of the mountain, the runes in the sky disappeared.

He knew that Zhang Tieshan had made his decision, but now, he was in greater danger.

Lu Yunshi stopped and leaned against a tree. His vision was blurry, and he could hardly believe that he, who had just displayed great power, was now in such a state.

Just then, a rustling sound came from nearby, and Lu Yunshi gave a wry smile.

"No way, does it have to be now?"

He looked back and, sure enough, it was a strange spirit.

"Can't we just all die already?" Lu Yunshi felt frustrated. He wanted to grip his sword, but he couldn't muster any strength in his body, and he could no longer see anything clearly.

But he knew that the strange spirit pounced over, only to be knocked away by something. A figure suddenly appeared, and he didn't know who it was, but he seemed to have seen it before. However, before Lu Yunshi could see it clearly, the person fell down.

"Tsk tsk tsk! You brat, you ruined my toy..."

It seems someone said something, but who was it?

Lu Yunshi frowned, the words echoing in his mind. When he opened his eyes, he was not in front of the Iron Mountain Sect, and he felt much better.

He blinked; this place looked like a farmer's house.

"Awake?" A familiar voice came, and Lu Yunshi turned his head to look. It was Lu Yunxi. The joy in her eyes quickly faded, leaving only coldness and displeasure on her face, which startled Lu Yunshi so much that he sat up abruptly.

"Huh? What happened? Did I miss something in the plot again?"

"I didn't miss it." Lin Min's voice came from outside the house. She quickly went inside and smiled when she saw Lu Yunshi who had woken up.

"This is a village dozens of miles away from the Iron Mountain Sect. I settled Li Hu and the others here. Just then, Junior Sister Lu woke up, so we went to find you. But we didn't expect that when we got there, the strange spiritual energy in the Iron Mountain Sect had greatly weakened, and you collapsed at the gate. Although you were seriously injured and badly eroded by the strange spiritual energy, you at least survived. You should be able to hold on until we get back to the academy to find a solution."

"Oh." Lu Yunshi nodded, but he clearly remembered that he had collapsed halfway up the mountain. Were the figures he saw before he lost consciousness and what those people said true?

Ugh! So annoying. People like me who don't like to use their brains shouldn't be using their brains at all.

"Junior Brother Lu? Junior Brother Lu?" Lin Min's call reached his ears again. Lu Yunshi looked at Lin Min, only to see that she had a strange expression on her face and her eyes were glancing in a certain direction.

Forehead......

Lu Yunshi's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Lu Yunxi.

"Um... Miss..."

"Is this fun?" Lu Yunxi stepped forward, her aura growing increasingly fierce. "Trying to look cool, huh? You won't listen to me, will you? Do you want to die?"

As she spoke, Lu Yunxi suddenly laughed, a laugh that was both extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous.

"Okay, then I'll help you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunshi did not hesitate at all, immediately threw off the covers and fled outside. Lu Yunxi snorted coldly and chased after him with her sword.

Seeing the two of them playing around, Lin Min smiled like an aunt and put her hands to her mouth, shouting towards the door.

"Junior Sister Lu, take it easy. Don't hurt her and then you'll cry."
