Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1135 What is Invincible?
The golden crow rises in the east, and the morning light shines.

In the Beiliang Army camp, besides the occasional neighing of horses, there was also the sound of cooks getting up early and cooking.

At this time, a flying sword arrived ahead of the others.

Xu Yanbing, who was guarding Xu Fengnian, looked in the direction of the person coming and sneered, "The sharp sword energy is the first to strike, and the person coming has bad intentions."

Just when the sky and the earth were blue and white, the hazy sky was like a piece of rice paper, and the sword seemed to have written an extremely straight horizontal line on the rice paper.

Xu Yanbing asked, "Your Majesty, do you want me to stop him? Although his sword is powerful, it is still slightly inferior to Deng Tai'a. At most, he is on par with Chai Qingshan and his ilk. He will definitely not delay the advance of our army."

"No need. It's Lu Dantian, the only remaining one from Western Chu." Xu Fengnian revealed the identity of the visitor in one go.

Xu Yanbing knew that the person was from Western Chu, so he was not sure what to do.

In this world, even if Wang Xianzhi and Cao Changqing were to be resurrected, they would not be a match for the current King of Beiliang even if they joined forces.

What kind of threat can a mere Lu Dantian pose?
Xu Yanbing had a leisurely mood to watch the fun, and said with a smile: "I heard that this person has been practicing sword since he was young, but his aptitude is very poor. In his early years, he searched all the sects of Da Chu but no one was willing to accept him as a disciple. He never thought that he would become a great man late in life. With his ruthless determination, he finally mastered the sword art in his forties. Then he boarded a boat to watch the Guangling River and learned a sword. He climbed a mountain to watch the rising sun and learned another sword. He climbed a tower to watch the vast sea and learned another sword. But I heard that he retired to the mountains after the fall of Western Chu. This time when Western Chu was restored, most of the disciples in the clan joined the army. I also came out to serve as the commander of the Imperial Guards in the capital of Western Chu, and was in charge of the secret guards. I am the confidant of the Western Chu empress. This sword came with the wind, and purple air rose. It must be the Sun-Watching Sword that Lv Dantian accidentally got at the age of sixty."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "As expected of you, you are the Grandmaster of Western Chu. Unlike me, I am not as famous as those incarnations."

Xu Yanbing joked, "Your Majesty, even I feel bad when I hear such words. We are a bunch of warriors who have experienced the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period. Now that we are old, aren't we all living like dogs?"

As the two were talking, the sun rose in the east and purple clouds came from the east.

The Baili Sword suddenly accelerated after it was halfway through, drawing a beautiful downward arc in the sunset glow.

The Northern Liang army and the Liyang army both saw this, and Lu Xiangsheng ordered his soldiers not to move without authorization.

Everyone knows that Xu Fengnian has taken the top four places in the martial arts rankings.

If you dare to cause trouble for Xu Fengnian at this time, there is only one word for you: death.

When the flying sword came within ten miles of the Beiliang army, it suddenly accelerated, like a live dragon opening a river.

The sound was so loud that at first there was a sound in the sky like firecrackers at the end of the street, which was only faintly audible, but soon it became more and more shrill, and finally it was like thunder in the ears.

Xu Fengnian opened his palm and the flying sword stopped an inch in front of his palm.

The long sword was surrounded by purple light, shining brightly and making it difficult to penetrate even a little bit.

The King of Beiliang waved his hand lightly, and the sword flew back.

The old man who was about to enter the camp saw the long sword flying back, and he took up the black scabbard at his waist, intending to use it to put away the sword.

The moment the sword was sheathed, he felt the force on the sword rebounding back.

The old man groaned and took ten steps back.

He suppressed the surging blood in his body and looked around, then he saw Xu Fengnian and Xu Yanbing leaving the camp.

There was not a single Beiliang soldier coming out of the camp to "greet" them.

The old man looked at the King of Beiliang, whose ears had calluses from listening to him over the past three years.

Now that I have seen the truth, I feel that the "Northern Xu and Southern Song" that was passed down in Western Chu is really a misnomer.

Xu Fengnian is a man of both appearance and bearing, with a majestic bearing. What is even more rare is the heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

Compared with this, the dead young phoenix of the Song family is like a bright fire competing with the bright moon.

While the old man was looking at Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian was also looking up and down at the last sword master of Western Chu.

The old man has white hair, white eyebrows and a white beard. He has the elegant appearance of a southerner and the body of a strong man from the north. He exudes the demeanor of a master.

This sword master from Western Chu was of the same generation as the National Master Li Mi and the Grand Master Sun Xiji in the Great Chu. Even if Cao Changqing met this old man, he should have shown him some respect as a disciple and a junior.

Lu Dantian stabilized his breath and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the King of Beiliang?"

"That's right." Xu Fengnian retracted his gaze and clasped his fists in the manner of martial arts.

Lu Dantian untied the rope, took off the object covered with cotton cloth behind him, and stood it upright in front of him, saying: "The empress asked me to give this sword to you."

Xu Fengnian looked at the sword case half hidden in the cloth and asked, "Won't she come by herself?"

"The empress's body is worth a lot of gold, how can she take risks? What's more..." Lu Dantian said half of his words.

Without saying a word, Xu Fengnian understood what he meant.

Xu Fengnian said: "Then please go back first, I will definitely keep the appointment after I defeat Lu Xiangsheng's army."

After completing the task entrusted by the empress, Lu Dantian did not return in a hurry, but gently stroked the hilt of the precious sword. "Do you know this sword of mine? It was cast in the Shanhai Sword Furnace by the Guangling River. It was originally named 'Dajiang'. After the battle of Xileibi, I changed it to 'Sha Xu'. It's a pity that in this battle, even if my great Chu army re-stationed troops at Xileibi and gathered a group of talents such as Zhang Bianguan, Xie Xichui, Kou Huaixi, etc., it was still no match for fate. I heard that your Beiliang cavalry was about to enter Guangling. Your Majesty did not want to see you, and by the way, let me take the old things back to Beiliang, and forbid me to kill. Even if I tried my best, the sword just now still couldn't move you at all. I realized that I was just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. The vastness of this world is not something that a frog in the well can compare to."

Xu Yanbing said expressionlessly, "In the battle of Xileibi, sixteen direct descendants of the Lu family were killed, and more than a hundred people from the Ma family, our relatives, were all killed in the battle."

This is the crux of the matter as to why Lu Dantian said so much.

When the scar in his heart was revealed, Lu Dantian's brows were raised, and he suddenly became murderous, and clenched the hilt of the sword with his five fingers.

Xu Fengnian sighed and said, "You can go now. Although Western Chu was defeated, the spirit of daring to resist Li Yang's tyranny will be remembered by the world. Those sacrifices will not be in vain."

"Can you return the Daliang Dragon Bird to Jiang Ni? How about it?"

Lu Dantian knew that he had no power to fight back in front of Xu Fengnian, but he still withstood the pressure and said, "I took the things, so there is no reason for me to return them. If you want to return them, your majesty will let you take the sword box and break through the defense line of Lu Xiangsheng's army and the heavy armor of our Great Chu."

Xu Fengnian just smiled and said, "Okay."

He stretched out his hand and took the sword case.

Lu Dantian didn't even have the chance to react.

Xu Fengnian looked at the sword case lying horizontally in his palm and boasted, "In this world, is there any place that I cannot go to?"

Xu Yanbing on the side agreed with this.

Xu Fengnian asked Xu Yanbing beside him: "Uncle Xu, what do you mean by invincible?"

Thanks for the tip from Gundamthrone.
