Chapter 347 Who is the opponent?

Oh no, this boomerang is coming towards me!
Hearing the words of the unknown passerby, Li Fu's face suddenly changed.

Without giving it any time to think, he gritted his teeth and rushed out like a mad dog.

Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin, who stayed where they were, looked at each other and saw the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

“Life can’t really be so dramatic, can it?”

"I don't know, let's go and have a look!"

Three minutes later...

"Hahaha……"

"Qing'er, how could I doubt you?"

"Our relationship is the most worthy of testing!!"

Li Fu stood beside Qiu Yeqing, pretending to be nonchalant and joking, but if you pay close attention, you can see that his voice is trembling, his forehead is sweating, and he is very guilty.

After finding Qiu Yeqing with a heart full of suspicion, anger and fear, Li Fu's expression and attitude changed so much that it was almost laughable.

Because the man walking with Qiu Yeqing was not her new love, but her older brother Feng Yebei, who was Li Fu's future brother-in-law.

When Li Fu came back, his expression was visibly relaxed.

"I found out that Feng Yebei is in the Spring Field and we can't run into him for the time being."

In his early years, Feng Yebei joined Cangyun Castle, guarded the border and served as a military advisor.

However, there were not many wars on the Tang Dynasty's border, so most of the time, the Cang Yun soldiers were just patrolling.

This was a rare martial arts event, so Feng Yebei, as a military strategist, simply asked for leave from Changsun Wangqing and brought a few military colleagues to join in the fun.

At the same time, he was also deeply interested in the rumored "Heart Sword" of Ye Ying.

"Coming with him this time is Li Wuyi, a well-known newcomer in Cang Yun in the past two years."

"But the two don't seem to be in the same team. According to Feng Yebei, Brother Li found Miss Yan Xiuqi to form a team."

Li Wuyi and Xiao Qi...

It’s interesting!

Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Xiao Qi admires Li Chengen, the leader of Tiance. Li Wuyi is Li Chengen's son, and he and Xiao Qi have become close friends because of the turmoil in the martial arts world...

So this time the stepmother is leading the team?
Li Fu continued, "Through this clue, I also indirectly inquired about Qixiufang."

"I learned that in addition to Yan Xiu, there is also 'Chu Xiu' Xiao Baiyan."

Lu Ping was also familiar with this name.

She is the strongest martial artist among the Seven Beauties, with outstanding talent, and was taught the "Jianghai Ningbo Sword" by Gongsun Ying.

"Who are her teammates?"

Li Fu glanced at Lu Ping and the other man and said, "It is said that it is Taoist Priest Luo Feng of Chunyang and Doctor Pei Yuan of Wanhua Valley."

"Hiss—this combination sounds very stressful!"

Shen Jianxin took a breath of cold air.

These three people are all masters on the Earth List, and they are all very famous: the eldest brother of the second-generation disciples of Chunyang, the eldest brother of Wanhua Valley, and the number one master of Qixiu.

Moreover, they are all in their thirties or forties, so whether in terms of internal skills, external martial arts techniques, or combat experience, they are definitely much stronger than others.

Even if they won the championship in the end, it wouldn't be surprising.

Li Fu gently waved his folding fan: "Yes, this team named 'The First of Three Sects' is indeed one of the seeded teams to win the championship in this competition!"

"You said 'one of'...?"

Lu Ping's eyes moved: "Does that mean there are other teams?"

"Of course!"

"There are two other teams that have received a lot of attention, namely Xie Yuan's 'Haoqi Changcun Team' and Wang Yifeng's 'Zizai Xiaoyao Team'."

Hearing the names of these big brothers in both the black and white worlds, Lu Ping instantly perked up: "Are they going to fight in person?"

"seems like it."

Li Fu nodded: "In addition to them, the team will naturally include the rumored 'Young Master of the Evil Valley' and the 'Genius of the Righteous Alliance'."

Ok……

Wang Yifeng versus Xie Yuan, Mo Yu versus Mu Xuanying, it sounds very exciting!
Thinking of this, Lu Ping continued to ask: "What about the last person?"

"I heard that the last person of the 'Free and Easy Team' is another disciple of Wang Yifeng, named Ding Ding. As for the last person of the 'Noble Spirit Team', it is 'Kaiyang' Keren, one of the Seven Noble Spirits."

Lu Ping suddenly realized: "So he is the disciple of the Sword Saint..."

This just makes up the three groups of opponents: middle-aged, young and teenagers.

Shen Jianxin suddenly asked, "Didn't the Sword Saint come to participate?"

"No one is seen for the time being. With the Sword Saint's strength, if he were to participate in the competition, how would the others have a chance to perform?"

"Hmm...that's true."

Seeing that the start time was approaching, the three of them walked towards the 'Autumn' venue.

On the way, Li Fu continued to recount the intelligence he had just collected: "In addition to these three teams, there is another team whose strength should not be underestimated."

"who is it?"

"Dugu Jiu, the eldest son of the Dugu family, Yuan Mingya, the Japanese Yin-Yang master, and Yu Zhuocheng, the sword master."

"ah……?!"

Is there a strange person sneaking in?
The Dugu family has some relationship with Badao Villa, and Yuan Mingya has some dealings with Badao Villa because of Zhao Hanya. The two of them got together, and it can be considered that they knew each other through Ye Qifei and Zhao Hanya.

But how did Yu Zhuocheng join this team?
Could it be that they just randomly picked them up on the street?

Soon, the three arrived at the arena and officially started the fight according to the arrangement of the organizer.

The contestants of the sword competition are not just any random people. They are able to grab the few 200 sword cards from such a huge martial arts world. In terms of strength, these contestants can at least be ranked on the hero list.

However, for Lu Ping and the other two, the preliminary auditions were not that difficult.

"Transform Yin and Yang, Eliminate Evil, Thunder and Fire Righteousness!!"

"Thousand Moments of Flowing Clouds!!"

"Shoot the bull from across the mountain!!"

"..."

“Dingxuanji·Guidaozhen·Nine Yin Command!!”

“Pushing the clouds and breaking the waves!!”

"Kenshin Normal Fist!!"

"..."

"Congratulations to the 'Three Heroes of Wind and Dust' for advancing to the quarterfinals!!"

After going through seven or eight battles with other people in the "Autumn Field", Lu Ping and his two companions finally succeeded in qualifying as the top eight.

In fact, if you really look into it, their team has received a lot of attention.

Although Shen Jianxin was still unknown before this, Lu Ping and Li Fu were not!

Li Fu has been active in the martial arts world for a long time, and he has appeared in many major events in the past.

Not to mention Lu Ping. After the battle against Gong Ao some time ago, his reputation in the martial arts world is now at its peak and he is in the limelight.

And probably because of the strength of the seeded teams, in order to avoid those people meeting each other too early, the organizers secretly adjusted the order of the battles.

Therefore, in the several matches of the auditions, Lu Ping and the other two did not encounter any opponents that they needed to take seriously.

……

At nightfall, after Lu Ping and the other two had finished the celebration party for their advancement to the quarterfinals, a man approached Lu Ping.

"Excuse me, is this Lu Ping, Young Master Lu?"

"I am Dao Zong, Yu Zhuo Cheng!"

Yu Zhuocheng, whose real name is Yuwen Zhuocheng, is from the Yuwen family.

That was the family that joined forces with Gong Ao to attempt to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

Several years ago, this person fled Baidi City because he was dissatisfied with his family's ambitions. He then joined Chunyang Palace, Haoqi League, and finally joined Dao Sect.

"Yu Zhuochen...I know you, what do you want from me?"

"Uncle Xie asked me to come here. I heard the details..."

This time, Yu Zhuocheng approached Lu Ping mainly to help Xie Yun spread the message.

It turned out that after the Twelve Linked Docks were broken, Gong Ao was defeated, but the Yuwen family who had joined forces with him were not arrested together. Instead, they lay dormant early and hid in the dark.

Some time ago, when Xie Yunliu was tracking down Fujiwara Hirotsugu, he accidentally discovered that the Yuwen family seemed to have signs of allying with the Japanese forces, so he specifically asked Yu Zhuocheng to come and remind him to beware of the Japanese methods.

"So that's how it is. Have the Yuwen family and the Japanese forces joined forces?"

Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and immediately realized that this matter was not simple: "It's just a mere Fujiwara Hirotsugu, can't Sect Master Xie handle it with his strength?"

"it's not true!"

Yu Zhuocheng shook his head and said, "The members of the 'Nakajo Ittoryu' under Fujiwara Hirotsugu have been driven away by the sect leader and have left Dongwulin."

"But there seems to be a phenomenon of factional division among those Japanese people."

"There are Japanese warriors and Yin-Yang masters who are not under the command of Fujiwara Hirotsugu and still stay in Dongwulin. They are the ones who are secretly colluding with the Yuwen family."

The people mentioned here should be those headed by Shibata Michisue.

Lu Ping was not in a good mood when he found that things developed pretty much as he had expected.

"So, what do they want to do?"

Yu Zhuocheng replied: "Based on what Fujiwara Hirotsugu said and the information collected by the Sword Sect disciples during this period, it can be confirmed that they are looking for something."

"And that thing should be in Hangzhou city!"

"How can you be sure?" Lu Ping asked.

"Because in these three days, a group of Japanese people have arrived here!"

Lu Ping thought of Yuan Mingya: "It seems that there is an Onmyoji in your team."

Yu Zhuocheng nodded: "Because there are Onmyoji among the Japanese who sneaked into Hangzhou City. The leader thought that Master Yuan, who is also an Onmyoji, might know some inside information, so he asked me to ask him for help."

"Sect Master Xie also lived in Japan in his early years. Doesn't he know the situation?"

"Probably I don't know."

Hearing this, Lu Ping thought to himself: It has been more than ten years since Xie Yunliu returned to Eastern Martial Arts. At that time, Western Sword School should have been the dominant school in Japan, and the Cruel Alliance might not have even been established yet, so it is normal that he does not know about Long Saburo's situation.

After Yu Zhuocheng left, Li Fu and Shen Jianxin, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, finally came out.

"The thing that those Japanese people are looking for with great fanfare must be something extraordinary!"

"There are countless treasures hidden in Cangjian Villa. If it were me, I would definitely choose this place first to search."

After Li Fu's analysis, he looked up at the sky again.

"Tonight is a dark night with a strong wind. It is a perfect time to be a thief..."

Lu Ping already knew that the two were eavesdropping, so he was not surprised by their appearance, but his eyes were quickly attracted by Li Fu's gorgeous nightgown.

"What's the matter with your attire?"

Li Fu waved his folding fan and smiled: "Of course, we are going to stop the evil Japanese people from taking action!"
