Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 341: No. on the puzzle list?
"So, since the cooperation between Fujiwara Hiroshi and Gong Ao has failed, why are you still here?"

Shibata Michisue did not dare to hide anything and confessed truthfully: "Although the plan has failed, Fujiwara Hirotsugu believes that there is still something that can be used in Gong Ao, so he sent me here to save his life."

"oh……?"

Lu Ping raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the battle on the glacier below.

In the core area of ​​the Fantian, the battle has come to an end.

The Dragon Subduing Palm showed its magical power, the Water-Shang Treasure Book did not work properly, Gong Ao was defeated step by step, and it was visibly obvious that he was severely dehydrated. Guo Yan would undoubtedly win.

"Why can't I see what else I can use in him?"

Shibata Michisue smiled awkwardly: "At least... doesn't he still have the magical power of the "Shang Shui Bao Dian"?"

This is true.

Lu Ping did not believe all of Shibata Michimune's words.

He believed the first half of the story, but after hearing the latter part, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

It’s not that I can’t accept the setting of Jiansan x Jinguan. After all, this is a world of comprehensive martial arts, and such changes are normal.

But how could that Oborosaburo actually agree to Fujiwara Hirotsugu's plan to "seize Shenzhou's martial arts"?

In the golden world, Oboro's true identity is Shuten-doji from the demon clan.

His lifelong pursuit is to gather the lost fragments of his body, regain his original power, then attack back to the demon world, and then lead his army to take revenge on the human race.

Even though this is a world of martial arts, based on past experience, Oboro Saburo's life trajectory should not deviate too much from the original plot.

If the "Cruel Alliance" only sent Fujiwara Hirotsugu and Nakajo Ittoryu, then it can be understood that this group of people were abandoned by Oborosaburo.

But since Oborosaburo also sent Shibata Michisue here, it shows that the matter is not simple.

You know, Shibata Michisue is one of his few true confidants.

Sending such an important person out can only mean that he has an equally important task.

What is the most important mission of Oboro Saburo?
It is undoubtedly to retrieve the fragments of the body!
The original "fragments", after the turmoil in the martial arts world, became the tokens of inheritance of forces such as the "Blood Fan School", "Bamboo Dragon Clan", "Eastern Sword Dao", and "Hundred Eyes Ninja Clan".

But in this world of comprehensive martial arts, it is hard to say.

"Could it be that those fragments of Long Saburo's body are not in Japan, but were left in Shenzhou, or even in the East Wulin?"

Once this idea came up, it was unstoppable and lingered in Lu Ping's mind for a long time.

"That's all I know about Fujiwara Hirotsugu. Can you let me go now?"

What did you say? It seems like you didn't say anything?
"What's the point of keeping people like you who covet Dongwulin's martial arts and even attack disciples from various sects for this?!"

Lu Ping snorted coldly and was about to attack again, but he heard several wailing sounds.

Then, the Japanese warriors who had escaped just now were seen, each of them seriously injured, and were thrown back like garbage.

Then, a familiar figure approached with a sword in hand and pressed the group of samurai, "Tell me! Where is Fujiwara Hirotsugu's base?"

The person who came was none other than Xie Yunliu who had disappeared for several days!

"You...you are Xie Yunliu?!"

When he saw the person coming, Shibata Michisue panicked again and lowered his head tremblingly.

As an old Japanese, Shibata Michisue naturally recognized Xie Yunliu.

In the past, after Xie Yunliu went to Japan, he became famous in a very short time. With his exquisite sword and knife skills, he dominated the martial arts world and had no rivals. His reputation was so great that even the Western Sword School did not dare to provoke him easily.

"Huh? It's Sect Master Xie..."

Seeing Xie Yunliu appear again, Lu Ping was a little surprised, and then he couldn't help but complain: "You finally showed up, if it was a little later, we would have returned triumphantly."

"By the way, where have you been these days? Why haven't you heard anything?"

When the two of them separated in Baidi City, they had clearly agreed that once they caught up with the person, they would send a pigeon to notify me to come over and help.

As a result, after so many days, not to mention flying pigeons, there was not even a single pigeon egg.

Lu Ping thought he had caught up with the person, but he was careless for a moment and suffered from the Shangshui Treasure Book. He was imprisoned by Gong Ao and was trapped in this and that. Unexpectedly, he was safe and sound and appeared at this time.

Seeing Lu Ping appear here, Xie Yunliu was also surprised.

"A few days ago, when I came here, I found that Gong Ao seemed to have completely cut off his business with Fujiwara Hirotsugu and was indulging in pleasure all day long."

"Then I felt that there was no point in staying here for long, so I left the Twelve Linked Docks and searched the surrounding area for traces of the Japanese."

"But we searched for several days but found nothing, so we didn't inform you."

"I finally found some clues today and followed them here, but I didn't expect that I would still be one step behind you."

Fine……

It seems that you, the people from the Sword Sect, are really only suitable for combat, not for reconnaissance.

After the two exchanged recent intelligence, Xie Yunliu suddenly said, "Lu Shaoxia, although it may be a bit presumptuous, could you please hand this person over to me?"

He was talking about Shibata Michisue.

"Thank you, Sect Master. You are..."

"I plan to go directly to Fujiwara Hirotsugu!" During his time in Japan, Xie Yunliu received financial support from the Fujiwara family.

Fujiwara no Hirotsugu also once studied under Xie Yunliu, and the two of them could be considered to have a semi-master-disciple relationship.

But Xie Yunliu knew clearly what to do and what not to do, and would not allow Fujiwara Hirotsugu to cause chaos in Dongwulin just because of this relationship.

This time I went to find him just to settle the feud between us, and at the same time completely stop him from coveting Dongwulin's martial arts.

"I understand. In that case, I can hand this person over to you."

In Lu Ping's opinion, Shibata Michisue was an insignificant person and killing him was a piece of cake, but if he let him go, perhaps he could catch a bigger fish.

"Do you need me to go with you?"

"That's not necessary."

Xie Yunliu rejected Lu Ping's kindness: "If you go with me, I'm afraid it will cause you to be criticized by the people in the martial arts world."

“That’s strange!”

"Do I look like someone who would care about these empty names?"

Lu Ping smacked his lips and said, "Since Sect Master Xie wants to handle it himself, I can give you this face, but I have a piece of advice, and I hope you can keep it in mind."

Xie Yunliu heard the change in Lu Ping's tone and hesitated for a moment, "Young man, please speak."

"I am now the 'Spell Saint' of Wanhua Valley. Although I have not been in this position for long, I should always consider the safety of the disciples in the valley."

“So, if the Sect Master fails to handle this matter perfectly, and Fujiwara Hirotsugu makes a comeback in the future and then implicates my Wanhua disciples, then it will be difficult to resolve the matter peacefully…”

"...Xie will handle it properly!"

Not long after, Xie Yunliu took Shibata Michimue away.

The battle in Qu Tang Gorge has also ended, and Gong Ao died at the hands of Guo Yan as expected.

With the death of the chief bandit, the remaining pirates immediately lost the confidence to resist. The entire Twelve Linked Docks faced total defeat, and tens of thousands of bandits either fled or surrendered.

When it comes to handling funeral affairs, the Tian Ce soldiers are quite experienced.

For the surrendered pirates, people were sent to tie them up and take them into custody; for the escaped pirates, appropriate numbers of soldiers were also sent to hunt down and raid them.

However, even after a fierce battle, the total number of Tiance soldiers and the coalition forces of heroes who arrived at Qu Tang Gorge was only one-fifth of the surviving pirates.

With this number alone, there is clearly not enough manpower to capture the escaped pirates.

Therefore, the coalition forces still put more energy into receiving prisoners.

By the time the defeated pirates on the Fantian were dealt with, the sky had already brightened. The temperature of the glacier had risen as the cursed power subsided, and it had returned to its former turbulent state.

The river flows eastwards majestically, just as it always did.

But compared to yesterday, there are many more broken trees on the river today.

……

A few days later, the aftermath of the Qu Tang Gorge Battle was completed.

The Tiance soldiers escorted the surrendered pirates back to Chang'an;

The people in the surrounding area were properly resettled, and with the financial support of Cangjian Villa, they began to build new homes.
The heroes of the coalition returned to their homes and spread the story of the battle...

In the Tang Dynasty Post, the news that "the six major sects wiped out the Twelve Linked Villages, and the Beggars' Sect leader Guo Yan defeated Gong Ao" remained for a long time.

The Twelve Linked Docks that had occupied Qutang Gorge for many years were finally cleared out. This great event naturally attracted countless heroes in the martial arts world to applaud and cheer.

The reputations of the sects and knights who participated in the war also soared in the world.

But if we were to say whose reputation rose the fastest and most dramatically, it would definitely be Lu Ping.

In this "Battle of Qutang Gorge", Lu Ping's performance was quite brilliant.

In just over ten days, many rumors were left, such as "declaring war on the Twelve Linked Forts", "breaking five large water strongholds in one day", "bravely breaking into Baidi City to rescue disciples of various sects", "causing wind and fog to freeze the river water", etc.

Therefore, in addition to "Gong Ao's defeat", there was another piece of news in the Tang Daily that deserved the attention of the entire Eastern Martial World, and it occupied the hot search for several days in a row -

The new Jianghu character, the "magician" Lu Ping, ranked ? on the puzzle list!

The riddle list of the Yinyuan Society is different from the three lists of 'Heaven, Earth and Man'.

The latter is ranked according to the popularity, strength, influence, etc. of the parties involved;

The riddle list is specifically used to record characters with "unknown identity", "unknown origin", "unknown strength", "unknown whereabouts" and "unknown purpose".

And because of these unknown factors, there is no specific ranking for those listed on the puzzle list.

For example, the 'former leader of the martial arts world' Tang Jian, the 'Nine Heavens·Ghost Strategy' Li Fu, and the 'No. 1 assassin of Lingxue Pavilion·The head of Wu Gou Tai·Fenhai Sword' Ji Bieqing are all among them.

Lu Ping naturally belongs to this category. In addition, his origins remain a mystery, and his magic skills are rare in the world. Therefore, it is natural that he has attracted the attention of the Hidden Yuan Society and is listed on the Mystery List.

However, these trivial matters did not affect Lu Ping's action of "touring the mountains and rivers".

After more than ten days, after traveling around the mountains and rivers, Lu Ping finally arrived at the territory of Cangjian Villa.

The sword fighting competition is about to begin!
