Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 568: The Peaceful Speech

The night is slightly cool, and the moon is like frost.

There were still undried rain stains on the bluestone slabs outside the Jixia Academy. Wu Jingqi and Li Dangxin followed the imperial guards, their sleeves rustling in the night wind.

Xiao Chong walked in the front, followed by twelve sword-wielding guards. The light from the torches made their shadows very long.

"Brother Li, it seems that the sky in Beili is dark after all."

Wu Jingqi suddenly spoke, her voice was very soft, but it made the whole team pause.

Li Dangxin did not answer, but just looked up at the waning moon half-hidden by dark clouds on the distant palace wall, and a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Chong paused, and when he turned around, the jade pendant on his waist made a crisp clash sound.

"Why do you two say that? It's just a routine inquiry, don't worry about it."

"Routine inquiry?"

Wu Jingqi suddenly laughed, and there was a hint of madness in her laughter.

"Twenty years ago, Shen Buyan had the same idea, and his whole family was burned to death. Three years ago, Zhuge Jingxuan had the same idea, and he was beaten half to death!"

Before he finished speaking, a green light suddenly burst out from his sleeves. The sword light was incredibly fast, like lightning tearing through the night sky. The three imperial guards in the front didn't even have time to draw their swords before three blood flowers bloomed from their throats.

"Protect His Highness!"

The captain of the guards shouted sternly, and more than ten guards formed a battle formation in an instant.

But the people they were facing were not ordinary students. Li Dangxin put his palms together, and light golden Sanskrit appeared all over his body. He pushed out with one palm, and the air wave blew away the five guards like a raging wave. When Xiao Chong came to his senses, he found that these people were already dead.

Xiao Chong's face suddenly changed and he took several steps back. Although he had been on guard, he had never thought that these two seemingly weak scholars could be so ruthless!
On the other side, the captain of the guards had just drawn his sword halfway when Wu Jingqi's sword had already pierced his heart. Blood splattered on Xiao Chongyue's white python robe, which was shocking.

"you."

When Xiao Chong saw the tragic scene, his eyes flashed with coldness and his voice was very low, like a volcano about to erupt, hiding endless anger. A breath immediately rose into the sky, surrounded by golden air waves, as if the God of War was in the world.

"presumptuous!!!"

"Xiaoyao Heaven Realm?"

Wu Jingqi narrowed her eyes, a little surprised. They didn't expect that a prince could have such a realm.

Faced with Xiao Chong's full-strength burst, Li Dangxin was only slightly surprised. Then he lightly raised his footsteps and walked towards Xiao Chong again, speaking as he walked.

"Your Highness, Prince Bai, when you were presiding over the imperial examination, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Xiao Chong drew the long sword from his waist, looked at the student in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "No matter what, it is not a reason for you to kill the student, overthrow Beili, and cause chaos in the world!!"

"The world is in chaos, and the biggest victims are not you, but the civilians!!"

"Since some people are destined to be sacrificed, I am willing to be the executioner."

Wu Jingqi and Li Dangxin paused. They looked at the prince in front of them with a determined look, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in their eyes.

"What if the person who sacrificed himself was the prince? What about you?"

Xiao Chong's gaze remained unchanged, and his tone was firm.

"Life is what I want, and justice is what I want. I cannot have both. I would rather sacrifice my life for justice!!!"

"If there really comes a day when my blood is needed to stabilize the country, I will not hesitate. In the face of justice, I am willing to die!!"

When Wu Jingqi and Li Dangxin heard this, their eyes suddenly became complicated. They could tell that what Xiao Chong said was true. An emperor who sacrificed others for the sake of justice might be a hero, but someone who was willing to die for the sake of justice was worthy of their respect.

"Unfortunately, this is not the world we want to see."

"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together!!"

Wu Jingqi and Li Dangxin shook their heads with some regret. Although Xiao Chong did nothing wrong, they did not agree with it.

"The world is in chaos, someone should set it right!!"

Wu Jingqi stroked the soft sword in his hand. At this time, under the blessing of his huge true energy, the soft sword became straight and shone with cold light. Before Xiao Chong could reply, Wu Jingqi's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and his speed was even faster than before. In the night, a flash of cold light appeared, and the soft sword appeared in front of Xiao Chong.

"Can't defend???"

A thought suddenly appeared in Xiao Chong's mind. Although his body had subconsciously retreated and the sword in his hand blocked in front of him, the sense of crisis in his heart became more and more serious.

"No, they are not from Xiaoyao Tianjing!!"

"Om!!"

The sword whistled, Xiao Chong's pupils shrank suddenly, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"clang!!"

Just as the sword was about to touch Xiao Chong's throat, a gray shadow suddenly appeared in the battle like a ghost.

Wu Jingqi's sword was blocked by a whisk. The person who came was none other than Zhuo Qing, the eunuch beside Emperor Mingde. His wrinkled old face emerged from the shadows, and his cloudy eyes shone with brilliance.

"You two little kids, you are so brave!"

The old eunuch spoke in a shrill voice, and the silver threads on his whisk suddenly grew longer and wrapped around Wu Jingqi's wrist like a living thing.

On the rooftop in the distance, people from Wushuang City came over after hearing the noise.

Wushuang came flying in the air on a flying sword, and the twelve flying swords formed a sword formation to surround Li Dangxin; Nangong Dingwu was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and his fists went straight to Wu Jingqi's back with the sound of breaking through the air.

"boom!"

The explosion of the energy collision shattered all the window frames within a radius of ten feet. Wu Jingqi twisted his body strangely and avoided Zhuoqing's whisk and Nangong Dingwu's punch at the same time. The long sword in his hand suddenly turned into thousands of green lights, each of which accurately pierced Zhuoqing's acupoints.

The old eunuch screamed strangely, and his whisk danced into a silver ball of light. But the sword lights suddenly turned in mid-air, bypassing the defense as if they had life, leaving three deep blood scars on his shoulders!
"A journey into the mysterious realm?"

Zhuoqing's expression finally changed. Although traveling in spirit was not impossible, it was hard for him to accept that two scholars had reached the pinnacle of the martial arts world.

On the other side, facing the unparalleled siege of flying swords, Li Dangxin just sighed softly. He formed seals with his hands, and a vague shadow of Buddha appeared behind him. The twelve flying swords pierced three feet in front of him and could not move forward any further. The sword bodies vibrated violently and made a wail.

"Buddhist golden body?"

Nangong Dingwu's pupils shrank, "You are from Qianye Temple."

Before he finished speaking, Li Dangxin suddenly opened his eyes, and the Buddha's phantom opened his eyes as well, and two golden lights shot towards Nangong Dingwu like sharp arrows. The Wushuang City ancestor hastily blocked with his arms, but was still knocked back more than ten feet, and only stopped after knocking down a section of the palace wall.

Xiao Chong stood aside. The battle that had just broken out with swords and sabers was no longer something he could intervene in. Seeing these two young men forcing the eunuch and the two masters to retreat step by step, his mind became more and more complicated.

It was not until this moment that he truly understood what it meant to "draw thunder with blood". This was not a threat, but a declaration.

"go!"

Wu Jingqi suddenly put away her sword and retreated. The fight made too much noise. More torches were moving towards this side in the distance, and three astonishing auras were rising from the direction of the palace.

Li Dangxin understood and slapped the ground with his palm. The bluestone road surface undulated like waves, and countless gravel splashed to form a barrier.

When Zhuoqing waved his sleeves to clear away the smoke and dust, the two figures had already disappeared into the night, leaving only two lines of large characters written in blood on the wall.

Even though the rich have wine and meat, they still say that everything is peaceful.

That night, Emperor Mingde was furious after hearing the news and issued a hunting order. Thirty new imperial guards armed with Qi-breaking crossbows were added to the gate of Tianqi City, and each crossbow arrow was engraved with runes that restrained the inner Qi.

In a dilapidated ancestral hall somewhere in the south of the city, Wu Jingqi tore off her bloodstained sleeves, revealing a wound on her shoulder so deep that the bone was visible.

"I didn't expect that the old eunuch's whisk was poisoned."

He smiled bitterly, his face pale from excessive blood loss.

Li Dangxin stretched out his hands and pressed the vital points on the opponent's body, put one hand on the opponent's shoulder, and began to remove the poison from him.

"Monk, I didn't expect that we would be made a scapegoat, but to be honest, this feeling is not bad."
