Qin Shi: With a superb understanding, he is invincible as soon as he strikes

Li You is more like Jiang Taigong of the past, combining the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought in one.

In the end, Guiguzi Zongheng was still defeated. He half-knelt down, with the swords in his hands inserted into the ground to support his severely injured body.

"Have a safe journey, both of you."

Li You shouted solemnly, without wasting any time, and prepared to deal a fatal blow to Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

But as soon as the sword moved, Li You stopped and murmured, "It's finally here."

"Fortunately, I have restrained my desire, otherwise, I would have committed a great sin tonight." A faint voice sounded, and Ying Xiao fell from the high wall.

Tonight, Ying Xiao wanted to fight with the Moon Goddess until dawn, but he was still uneasy in his heart. After all, Li Si was Li Si, the greatest contributor who helped Zheng Ge unify the world.

Li Si's achievements even surpass those of Wang Jian, because the most difficult thing is often not the fighting on the battlefield, but the logistics, internal affairs, etc. to support the fighting.

So, Li Si will not be simple.

So, Ying Xiao reluctantly gave up his romantic night and came here.

Chapter 55: Lüshi Chunqiu!

Fortunately, you came!

Otherwise, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie would really die tonight.

"General Li, this is really beyond my expectations." Ying Xiao said.

"Your Highness, it's the same with you. In the entire empire, who would have thought that Your Highness would be the one you are today?" Li You responded.

"Your Li family's path has narrowed and ended." Ying Xiao said, "It's a pity for me, for your majesty, and for the Great Qin."

"I don't understand why you made this choice. The position of Prime Minister is second only to one person and above ten thousand people. Isn't that enough?"

"Why should we learn from Lu Buwei?"

“Your Highness, if you are not in this position, how would you know? People in this position cannot sleep every night. As the saying goes, second only to one person and above ten thousand people, the world only sees the scenery but not the danger of being in a high position.” Li You said.

"Also, there is ambition. The higher one stands, the greater one's ambition becomes, and the more endless one's desire becomes."

"Maybe it's just ambition." Ying Xiao said, "The so-called fear, the so-called sleepless nights, the so-called danger of being at a height, are just your excuses."

"Since the day you ascended the throne, your Majesty has killed Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, but have you ever killed any meritorious officials?"

"Back then, Li Xin's army of 200,000 soldiers was defeated in the attack on Chu, which resulted in the annihilation of almost all of the 200,000 Qin soldiers. Even though it was related to Changping Jun's betrayal, Li Xin still could not escape the blame. Your Majesty has never blamed Li Xin."

"Even after unifying the country, your majesty should reward those meritorious officials who deserve the rewards and honor them if they deserve it."

"Your Highness may be right, it's just ambition that drives us, but that's how people are, isn't it? And now it's useless to say these things, draw your sword, Your Highness." Li You said.

"What's the name of your sword?" Ying Xiao asked seriously.

"Spring and Autumn!" Li You said.

"Spring and Autumn..." Ying Xiao murmured, "Is there such a sword? Even if there is, shouldn't it be in Confucianism?"

"This Spring and Autumn Annals is not the Confucian Spring and Autumn Annals!" Li You did not hide it and said slowly.

"Oh, I see. Lüshi Chunqiu." Ying Xiao said.

"Yes, Lüshi Chunqiu." Li You said.

"Lü Buwei founded Luowang first, but gradually, he found that Luowang was no longer under his control because he was not a martial arts expert. Luowang's assassins were almost all fugitives on death row and wandering swordsmen. What really made them obey his orders was money and power."

"But what can really make them feel in awe is ultimately their own strength."

"So, Lü Buwei began to compile Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals and learned martial arts from it."

"But unfortunately, before he could comprehend much, Lü Buwei's path to becoming a powerful official came to an end."

"After Lü Buwei's death, our Li family obtained Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals, as well as Lü Buwei's martial arts annotations and interpretations in the Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals."

"I see." Ying Xiao nodded, "Lü Buwei is indeed a genius. I admire him."

"Unfortunately, he met the current emperor." Li You said.

"Perhaps, it is because of Your Majesty that he has become famous, isn't it?" Ying Xiao said, "Or perhaps, have you ever thought about the fact that Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals and the martial arts annotations and explanations in it were left to you by Lü Buwei on purpose."

"Although he is dead, his ambitions as a powerful official will not be extinguished."

"That Lüshi Chunqiu is the key to unlocking the ambitions of powerful officials, the most perfect key."

"Your Li family is the most suitable lock, General Li, what do you think?"

"What..." Li You was shocked when he heard Ying Xiao's words.

Thinking back carefully, what Ying Xiao said was not wrong.

His father Li Si and Lu Buwei were not only master and disciple, but also political enemies. Logically speaking, Lu Buwei would never be so generous as to leave "Lüshi Chunqiu" to his father Li Si.

But Lu Buwei did so, and Li You remembered Lu Buwei's last words deeply: I cannot bear to destroy my years of hard work. Li Si, you are my greatest rival and also my most proud disciple. Well, I will leave it to you.

It seems to be appreciation, but it is actually compassion.

In fact, it is a continuation of the ambitions of powerful officials.

A lock will open if the right key is used.

"Lü Buwei..." Li You said grimly.

To this day, at this moment, Li You and Li Si are absolutely regretful in their hearts.

"Since ancient times, there have always been disturbances between the imperial power and the prime minister's power. Li Si was the center of the vortex of power. He was the prime minister and witnessed the unification of the world. He even led the unification of the world himself. He was ambitious and thought he surpassed Lu Buwei. And he did surpass Lu Buwei. So after getting Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, how could he remain indifferent?" Gai Nie said.

Wei Zhuang also spoke up, "So, Lu Buwei took advantage of his inner heart and used him."

"Lü Buwei, I have to say again that I admire you. Even though you have been dead for many years, you are still influencing the political situation." Ying Xiao sighed.

"Your Highness, it seems now that my Li family has indeed been used, but there is no way back, right?" After recovering from the ferocious look, Li You continued to face reality.

"Moreover, at this moment, my Li family has not been defeated."

"Then let me experience your spring and autumn." Ying Xiao said, and the Tianwen Sword was unsheathed.

"There are nine swords in the Spring and Autumn Annals, Your Highness can catch them." Li You said, holding the Spring and Autumn Annals horizontally in front of him. The man and the sword became one, just like a copy of Lüshi Chunqiu.

"The First Sword - Spring and Autumn Across Worlds!"

"Heaven and earth, yin and yang, the five elements, life and death, all things, all have their own worlds. The power of spring and autumn isolates everything."

As the sword came out, Ying Xiao felt that the distance between himself and the Tianwen Sword in his hand was rapidly increasing.

"What a great swordsmanship!" Ying Xiao exclaimed.

However, it makes no difference to Ying Xiao whether he has a sword or not.

Whether the Tianwen Sword was in his hand or not, Ying Xiao still used the Dugu Nine Swords and broke the Chunqiu Geshi.

Li You was well aware of Ying Xiao's strength, so he would not think of suppressing Ying Xiao with just one sword. After the Spring and Autumn Period, Li You's murderous aura was even stronger, and his sword power was even stronger. He leaped up like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

"The second sword of Spring and Autumn—Spring and Autumn Fish Dragon!"

"In the vast spring and autumn, in the glorious years, there will be a fish that leaps over the gate and becomes a dragon!"

This sword runs through endless years. Even if the future is long and out of reach, we will move forward bravely. This sword can only attack and not retreat. It will survive even if we are in a desperate situation.

"What a great swordsmanship!" Ying Xiao praised again. Tian Wen clenched his fist and broke the sword. His sword power was unparalleled. He met courage with courage and did not retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the two men fought dozens of rounds in a life-and-death battle.

"Such a sword really makes one's blood boil. Guiguzi Zongheng, the way of heaven and earth, may be just a drop in the bucket of the way of heaven and earth. There is no end to swordsmanship and martial arts." Watching the battle between Ying Xiao and Li You, Wei Zhuang's blood boiled, and his aura surged.

Gai Nie was the same, and sighed, "In such a sword fight, perhaps there is no winner. If there had been no rebellion by Lao Ai, and if he had been given more time, what level would his sword have reached?"

Chapter 56: Nine Swords of Spring and Autumn! Epiphyllum Pill!

At this moment, Li You's momentum reached a new level. The heavy and broad Spring and Autumn Sword in his hand suddenly became like a magic pen, light and beautiful, and the sword energy was like a flower, blooming between heaven and earth.

However, in a blink of an eye, everything withered and life faded.

"The Third Sword of Spring and Autumn - Burial of Spring and Autumn!"

“Life and death are impermanent, and they are just a moment away. In the endless cycle of spring and autumn, the only thing that is eternal may be the final death.”

After the third sword, Li You had already swung out the fourth sword. With just two swords in an instant, Li You had entered the most perfect state of unity between man and sword.

"The fourth sword of Spring and Autumn - Spring and Autumn never stops!"

"Wildfires cannot extinguish them; spring breezes bring new life, endless and continuous."

The death that accompanies the third sword means eternal death, but the fourth sword means endless vitality. It seems contradictory, but in fact it fully demonstrates the great way of Spring and Autumn.

The third and fourth swords fit perfectly.

Wherever Ying Xiao looked, it seemed as if he saw two Li You, one sword burying the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other sword endlessly continuing the Spring and Autumn Period. Ying Xiao was between life and death, and was briefly confused.

"Since I can't see through it, there's no need to see through it." Ying Xiao murmured.

"Tai Chi Bagua, the world is contained in one sword!"

The Tai Chi sword technique and the Bagua are combined, Ying Xiao is detached from the world, as if he is above life and death. The Tianwen sword slowly comes out, and the two Li You turn into a dream bubble and burst.

However, at this moment, Ying Xiao felt the absolute murderous intent.

The fifth sword of the Spring and Autumn Period has arrived.

"The fifth sword of Spring and Autumn - Spring and Autumn Gap!"

“The years are endless, but compared to the years of heaven and earth, they are only a moment.”

The speed of this sword reached the extreme.

The previous four swords were all preparations. This sword, for Ying Xiao, was the real killing move.

But unfortunately, Ying Xiao, who was skilled in Tai Chi Bagua swordsmanship, was detached from the world and as pure as an immortal. Li You's sword was extremely fast even against a powerful swordsman, but in Ying Xiao's eyes, it was just as slow as an old man.

The Tai Chi rotates, and the internal force evolves and condenses into the Eight Trigrams Dao Shadow. The sword energy is like the tide in the sky, seemingly slow, but in fact it can destroy the world.

After facing Ying Xiao's sword, Li You's sword power instantly weakened, and he retreated heavily. He half-knelt, and the Spring and Autumn Sword stabbed into the ground before he stopped.

Following a dull thud, Li You vomited blood.

There were sword marks and bloodstains all over his body.

"I couldn't block Li You's swift sword, and I couldn't even react in time. But Your Highness, not only did you handle it with ease, you also fought back forcefully. This kind of swordsmanship is truly transcendent." Gai Nie sighed.

After the words fell, Gai Nie closed his eyes, and Wei Zhuang also closed his eyes.

The already surging sword power of the two instantly broke through a barrier.

This allowed both of them to break through and reach the late stage of the first level.

"The fifth sword, the extreme speed of the sword, I am so fast, but the result is like this..." Li You said fiercely, with great reluctance, "Your Highness Wu Wang, is this your sword? No wonder, in the Dune Land, in the Oriole Nest, the seven Oriole Kings, the four Mohist Sect Leaders, and the number one Azure Dragon are no match for you."

"Li You, you've lost." Ying Xiao said calmly, "Although there are nine swords in Spring and Autumn, your sword power reached the limit of what you can bear when you used the fifth sword. If my guess is correct, you will not be able to perform the next four swords of Spring and Autumn."

"Defeat means death, which means everything I have will be buried tonight. In this case, why don't I, Li You, shine briefly in this dark night?" Li You roared.

His right arm shook, and a pill fell into his palm from the cuff.

"The pills, the pills of the Yin-Yang School?" Ying Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Or the pills of the Taoist school? Or the pills of the Western Shu Wu Clan?"

After a closer look, Ying Xiao found that the pill looked a little familiar. When he killed Yun Zhongjun, the real person pill that Yun Zhongjun took was very similar to this pill.

Subsequently, Ying Xiao also felt the yin and yang energies on this pill.

"What's going on with the Yin-Yang family? Yun Zhongjun is dead, who else in the Yin-Yang family can refine the Zhenren Pill?" Ying Xiao said in a serious tone, "It seems that there are still capable people in the Yin-Yang family."

"Your Highness, this elixir is the best among the immortal elixirs - the elixir of the night-blooming cereus!" Li You said fiercely, "It blooms for a moment, and withers as soon as it blooms, but that moment of beauty is enough to astonish the world."

"The last four swords of the Spring and Autumn Period, let Your Highness come and witness them!"

As he spoke, the Epiphyllum Pill entered Li Youzhi's body.

Boom boom boom!

In just a moment, Li You surpassed the peak.

At this moment, Li You's realm has reached the middle stage of the second level of the Half-Step Land Immortal, and is infinitely close to the late stage.

However, the improvement of realm is secondary. The Epiphyllum Zhenren Pill allows all the potential in Li You's body to reach the limit. At this moment, at this instant, Li You's body is the most perfect body in the world.

"Lord Yunzhong should not be able to refine such a real person pill." Ying Xiao asked curiously.

"It's okay to tell His Highness that this pill was made by Yun Zhongjun's master, Jin De." Li You said.
