Chapter 471 Guan Qi Arrives
Li Buyi's martial arts skills are definitely not top-notch in Wen Shu's book.

But he was so absorbed in fortune-telling that he seemed to have never used his full strength. When fighting with others, he always stopped at the right point. So it was hard to tell exactly how high his martial arts skills were.

"Are you Li Buyi?"

"Yes, I am Li Buyi."

Li Buyi turned around and looked at Lu Ping. After studying him carefully for a few seconds, a look of doubt and surprise appeared in his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Lu Ping?"

To Lu Ping's surprise, Li Buyi actually recognized him.

"It's me, you recognized me?"

Li Buyi explained: "After the Beggars' Sect Conference half a month ago, your deeds and appearance have spread throughout the martial arts world."

"Although most people were distracted by Guan Qi's matter, the fact that you fought against six people alone and defeated Yan Kuangtu, one of the four great legends of the martial arts world, is enough to shock the entire martial arts world."

Lu Ping smiled calmly and shook his head, "They are not distracted, they just don't believe it, right? After all, it is really hard to believe if you don't see it with your own eyes... But I think you are different from them?"

"That's just because, to me, it doesn't matter who wins or loses."

Li Buyi looked calm, with a carefree attitude as if he had seen through the mundane world: "In the disputes in the martial arts world, there will be winners and losers, either today or tomorrow. As long as they don't hit me, I will just be a bystander."

Lu Ping pointed at the huge crowd below and said with a smile: "Hmm... speaking is better than singing. Haven't you heard that 'If a man does not get tainted by the world, the world will taint him'?"

"If you really didn't care, you shouldn't have come today!"

Li Buyi was shocked when he heard this, and for once he had the illusion that he was seen through.

The fact is just as Lu Ping said, even though Li Buyi pretends to be calm and nonchalant on the surface, he traveled thousands of miles to the Seven Sacred Peaks and has stayed here until now, just to save as many lives as possible.

In the past few days, he has used his eloquent tongue to persuade hundreds of people from the underworld to withdraw from this losing battle.

However, this number still seems extremely small compared to the heads of people standing below.

"God is merciful and kind. I just try to avoid casualties as much as possible."

Li Buyi is not a pedantic person. Although he wants to save everyone, he will not blame himself for not being able to save anyone.

It is that person’s destiny to be saved;

If he cannot be saved, it is that person’s fate.

"What you said is completely contrary to the philosophy of someone I know."

"That person often said that God gave everything to man, but man gave nothing to God, so everyone can be killed."

Li Buyi's eyes flashed, "Are you talking about Shen Huchan? He is also down there right now, and as far as I know, he is traveling with the 'World's No. 1 Assassin' Tang Zhan this time."

In the past few days, Li Buyi had dealt with Shen Huchan, Tang Zhan and others, and learned that he appeared here this time in order to use the conditions promised by the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty to save the lives of several sworn brothers.

Lu Ping looked down along the direction Li Buyi was looking and saw Shen Huchan sitting among the crowd.

He was a burly man with hair like a tiger's beard and full of murderous aura. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in front of a huge rock, with a huge Zen sword stuck beside him. The Zen sword was almost taller than Wang Xiaoshi.

"Xiao Shitou, do you know Shen Huchan?" Lu Ping turned around and looked at Wang Xiaoshi.

Shen Huchan also belongs to Zizai's school and is the eldest disciple of the "lazy and disabled master" Ye Aichan. So, Wang Xiaoshi has to call him senior brother.

Wang Xiaoshi shook his head, then nodded: "I have only heard Master mention his name once or twice, but I have never seen him in person."

While the three were talking, there was a sudden change in the square below, and someone shouted -

"Guan Qi is here!!"

"Guan Qi is here!!"

"..."

The shouting was deafening and interrupted the conversation between the three men. Looking down, he saw the crowd making a commotion like ants, one after another, and every face looked excited and nervous.

"Three wishes, here I come!!"

"This guy's head is mine, don't fight with me!!"

“Kill—!!!”

At this moment when the setting sun was about to sink into the horizon, the common prey of the entire martial arts world - Guan Qi, seemed to have finally arrived.

This ordinary yet well-known name was like a lit fuse, suddenly setting off countless greedy hearts at the same time.

In an instant, everyone in the square turned into hungry beasts, scrambling to pounce on the fat meat coming towards them.

Greed made them completely forget their fear.

It was a pity that the person coming up from the long steps was not Guan Qi, but two figures in luxurious clothes. The two figures came one in front and one behind, each performing exquisite Qinggong, and flew into the air, instantly knocking away a group of heroes and falling into the battlefield.

"The fighting spirit is high, and everyone is as brave as a tiger. This is a good phenomenon! This is a good phenomenon!"

In surprise, everyone finally saw the identity of the visitor.

A royal aristocrat, the most popular person under the emperor, a master who is good at both literature and martial arts, arrogant and scheming, young marquis Fang Yingkan.

And Zhuge Zhengwo’s junior brother, who also served the court, was appointed the Grand Administrator of the Imperial Household Department, was highly regarded by the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and had unfathomable martial arts skills, Yuan Shisanxian.

"The traitor Guan Qi has evil ambitions and is guilty of treason and rebellion and deserves death... Your Majesty has promised that whoever can cut off Guan Qi's head will be granted three wishes... Your Majesty is not kidding!"

Yuan Shisanxian not only has first-rate internal skills, but also has extraordinary eloquence. Although he speaks calmly, the thousands of people present can hear him as if they are hearing it right beside their ears.

He enumerated Guan Qi's crimes in detail, and also described the heroes' action of hunting Guan Qi here today as the act of defending the country, promising him huge profits and giving everyone enough face.

Finally, he stated the purpose of his visit today - to supervise the heroes in killing Guan Qi!

"As if throwing out a generous gift wasn't enough, they added fuel to the fire on the spot. While boosting morale, it also made people lose their minds to greed. Yuan Shisanxian's tactics are not bad at all!"

"If this happens, I'm sure all these people below will risk their lives and go crazy trying to kill Guan Qi."

At the top of the mountain, Lu Ping exclaimed in admiration, and then suddenly asked: "Facing so many enemies below, what do you think your chances of winning are?"

Li Buyi and Wang Xiaoshi were both stunned, thinking that Lu Ping was asking them.

"If it were me, I would be dead with no chance of survival, and even zero chance of winning."

"I won't put myself in such danger..."

After the two of them finished talking, they heard a voice behind them.

"Of course it's a 100% chance of winning!"

"No one of these people can kill me. I will definitely survive today, and then I will reunite with my wife and live a happy life from now on!"

The sudden shout startled Li Buyi and Wang Xiaoshi at the same time.

The two hurriedly looked back and were surprised to find that Guan Qi had been standing behind them without them knowing.

'He was standing so close to me and I didn't even notice him?!'

Besides being shocked, they both felt a deep admiration for Lu Ping.

After half a month's absence, Guan Qi's martial arts seemed to have improved a lot, and his spirit and energy seemed quite full.

At this moment, he was eating a hot steamed bun. He didn't know whether it was freshly steamed from a roadside stall at the foot of the mountain, or if it was simply warmed in his arms.

"Good brother, are you really here to help me, your big brother?!"

"Brother, I am very pleased!"

"Hahaha……!!"

Guan Qi walked up to Lu Ping, laughing and observing the situation below.

Even though he had always been fearless, he knew that facing today's battle would not be easy, so he was more cautious and steady.

"You two are brothers? No one in the underworld knows about this."

Hearing Guan Qi calling Lu Ping "brother", Li Buyi was immediately surprised, but thought to himself: If Guan Qi could get Lu Ping's help in today's battle, then I wouldn't have to help him...

"Oh? Fortune teller? I recognize you!"

"Don't you claim to be noble? Why are you interested in my head?"

Over the years, Li Buyi has used physiognomy to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and used martial arts to punish evil. He has traveled all over the world, read the faces of countless people, and once had a relationship with Guan Qi.

However, on that day, Guan Qi's facial features and palm lines were not determined, so Li Buyi could not see through him. This was also the only person whose fate he was unable to predict after he had mastered the art.

"Brother, you misunderstood. My presence here today is purely a coincidence and God's arrangement."

Guan Qi asked back: "Coincidence... is it really that simple?"

"Killing someone or being killed by someone is fate; desire, love, separation, reunion, and separation are also fate. Many things in the world are actually very simple, and there is no need to think too complicatedly."

As soon as he opened his mouth, I knew he was a scammer.

Guan Qi was impatient and asked directly, "Get straight to the point. What is your purpose?"

"I have no other intentions, I just want to end the past, make up for the regrets, and give you a clear and affirmative answer!"
