Chapter 717: Huaping's death and Gu Xiuxing's whereabouts
"you you……"
The Qi sea in his Dantian and the meridians in his body were sealed, and Mei Huaping's face was instantly wrapped in a deathly aura. But even so, he still stared at Lu Yu with a sharp and scrutinizing look in his eyes.
just like……
He was not very surprised that Lu Yu would attack him. On the contrary, Lu Yu's attack made him aware of some problems.
However, Lu Yu seemed not to notice his gaze and snorted coldly:
"North Gate Pass suffered a major incident. Mei Huaping, a disciple of Suling Palace, went on a killing spree in the city. I, Lu, was very observant. After discovering Mei Huaping's evil deeds, I immediately took action to kill him."
"Stabilize the situation at Beimenguan."
"Brother Mei, do you think my argument is good?"
This is clearly the behavior of a great villain.
In order to protect himself, he did not hesitate to kill his accomplices directly, and even wanted to claim the other party as his own military achievement.
There is no way anyone could accept this.
Can be biased.
After hearing this, the fierce light in Mei Huaping's eyes dissipated a lot, especially the dark light in her eyes, which calmed down again.
These subtle changes made Lu Yu secretly relieved. A long sword appeared in his hand and he said:
"Mei Huaping has submitted to the execution!"
Say it.
The long sword in Lu Yu's hand flashed with a cold light and slashed towards Mei Huaping.
This is intended to completely destroy Mei Huaping's life.
It was at this moment that the black air in Mei Huaping's eyes completely disappeared, but she seemed like another person just now. When the black air dissipated, Mei Huaping seemed to have returned to her body.
Looking at the big knife so close to him, he roared:
"Lu Yu, how dare you!"
But Lu Yu did not stop. He used his actions to tell Mei Huaping that he not only dared, but also intended to speed up the process of killing him.
In the face of life and death crisis, a red light flashed in Mei Huaping's eyes.
Suddenly, a small red arrow rushed out from Mei Huaping's Sea of Consciousness Platform and headed straight for Lu Yu's eyebrows!
This is a technique of the soul, even if your cultivation is destroyed, even if your life force is taken away.
But Mei Huaping is, after all, a genius of Suling Palace and a powerful master of the soul. At this moment on the verge of life and death, the art of the soul is no longer hidden and is used immediately.
Even if I die, I must take this sinister villain Lu Yu away!
"Hmph!" Lu Yu had been prepared for this and was not surprised to see this move. He snorted coldly, and a divine light flashed in his eyes. For a moment, a huge gate formed by the power of the soul blocked the door of the sea of consciousness, blocking the small soul arrow.
only……
Even though Lu Yu was prepared, he obviously underestimated Mei Huaping's dying counterattack. The spiritual power he summoned was obviously not weaker than Mei Huaping's. Logically, he should have at least blocked this small spiritual arrow.
Can be biased.
The small arrow seemed to have some special power, and it actually defeated Lu Yu's defense the moment it touched him!
"Lu Yu."
"How can a reckless man like you compare to the methods of my Suling Palace?"
"you give me……"
"die!!!"
Amidst Mei Huaping's resentful cries, the small arrow finally pierced into Lu Yu's sea of consciousness. The sharpness and the murderous aura that could destroy everything made Lu Yu see death approaching at that moment.
Own……
You will die eventually.
Although I am unwilling and still have regrets, but...
Maybe it's time to go see her.
Lu Yu gave up resistance and was even willing to die, intending to exchange his life for Mei Huaping's.
only……
At this moment, a voice suddenly came:
"No wonder the Soul Art of the Suling Palace claims to be unrivaled in the world. Just this technique of transforming soul into arrows is truly formidable."
"Unfortunately……"
This sudden voice appeared in the minds of both of them almost at the same time.
But before the two of them could check.
"He's a scumbag."
But a red maple leaf was floating in the air, and it appeared in Lu Yu's sea of consciousness at some point, wrapping the evil-filled soul arrow inside.
next moment.
The little arrow of the soul shattered and disappeared!
This was Mei Huaping's final counterattack, mobilizing almost all of her spiritual power. Now that this small arrow had disappeared, it also meant...
The plum blossom painting screen of the Suling Palace.
dead!
"Hu, hu, hu!" After surviving the disaster, even though Lu Yu had already seen life and death, he couldn't help but breathe heavily. However, he obviously knew what was important at this moment, and hurriedly looked back.
But he saw a plain-looking woman, who was standing not far from him at some point in time.
When he looked at her, she smiled slightly:
"Qixia Mountain, Jiang Ruochu."
"Meet General Lu at the North Gate."
"You... you are the one following Gu... following Guan Qiyu, you... you are actually Jiang Ruochu? Qixia Mountain has decided to help Gu Xiu?" Lu Yu was surprised.
Before, Gu Xiu went into the city with Jiang Ruochu.
only.
During the battle in the attic, Jiang Ruochu did not intervene at all. Even when Gu Xiu was apparently captured, Jiang Ruochu remained motionless, so that Lu Yu did not pay much attention to him.
But I didn't expect it.
The other party turned out to be the famous Jiang Ruochu from Qixia Mountain.
Jiang Ruochu smiled slightly. "Although Qixia Mountain has always been aloof from worldly affairs, no one can remain unaffected by the current changes in Fengtian. Moreover, Gu Xiu is my best friend. It is not reasonable for me to sit idly by and watch."
"Then why didn't you take action before? With your strength, if you had taken action, Gu Xiu's dilemma would have been solved easily, right?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
Jiang Ruochu replied:
"In the words of my master, Gu Xiu is a peerless unpolished jade. The most special thing about him is that no one can clearly see his upper limit. Such a peerless unpolished jade needs natural carving, not interference from others."
"Besides, I'm with him to make my way in the martial arts world, not to lead him in bullying. So unless there's no other way, I won't interfere."
These words.
Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Since the person from Qixia Mountain praised him so highly, Gu Xiu’s potential must be even greater than he imagined.
But soon, Lu Yu couldn't help but look pale again: "Then why don't you leave with Gu Xiu? Gu Xiu should have just left the city not long ago. If his identity is exposed, he may be in danger at any time!"
"He asked me to come." Jiang Ruochu spread his hands and said, "Gu Xiu asked me to come and help you guard the pass. This does not go against my original intention."
"But...but Gu Xiu is..."
"General Cao is saying that Gu Xiu is the most important. For the sake of the overall situation, even sacrificing the entire Beimen Pass is worth it?"
"Yes! Isn't it?"
"I don't know whether it is or not, but Gu Xiu asked me to bring you a message before."
"What?"
"There are many big plans in this world. Perhaps on the chessboard one can indeed sacrifice pieces to survive, but when he plays chess, he doesn't like to sacrifice pieces."
"Wha...what?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, but Jiang Ruochu had already said, "You will understand later. Now that Gu Xiu has left Beimenguan, I think General Lu's plan this time should not end here, right?"
These words brought Lu Yu back to his senses.
Yes.
His plan was to ensure Gu Xiu's safety, but now Gu Xiu had quietly left Beimenguan...
But this is not enough!
……
"Did you see anything? Is this person called Guanqiyu Gu Xiu?"
"It's hard to see clearly. Although this person has some attainments in swordsmanship and his strength is even more superb, he does look a bit like Gu Xiu in disguise, but... I can't be sure yet."
"It's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Regardless of whether it's Gu Xiu or not, this person is very suspicious. We should take action."
"No, since we are setting someone up to walk into a trap, we must at least make sure that the person who is trapped is our target. If we make a mistake, we might end up scaring Gu Xiu away."
In the black bamboo forest fifty miles away from the North Gate City.
Several people in black robes and wearing devil masks were talking to each other. In front of everyone's eyes, the footage of the previous battle between Mei Huaping and Guan Qiyu was constantly playing.
These people obviously came from different forces in terms of both their physique and temperament, but they did have one similarity.
That's it.
They all wear a window hidden in the darkness.
Naturally, they were waiting here for Gu Xiu, the master of hidden windows, to appear.
behind them.
There is also a black-robed team of more than a hundred people, but this team is obviously quite powerful. Their cultivation level has at least reached the Nascent Soul stage, and most of them are strong people in the Spirit Transformation stage or even the Void Refinement stage.
more importantly.
There was no expression on these people's faces. They were obviously living people, but standing here at this moment, they looked like cold puppets, and each of them exuded a cold aura.
Fearless of life or death, fearless of everything.
While those masked men in black robes were still arguing about whether to attack the North Gate directly, news soon arrived.
"A large-scale rout has occurred at Beimen Pass, and the soldiers at Beimen Pass are in pursuit!"
When the news came out, everyone couldn't help but frown and looked at each other, seeing suspicion in each other's eyes:
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
"It wasn't long since Lu Yu and Guan Qiyu lost their detection, and now there's a mass exodus. It doesn't look like a mass exodus, but more like someone is deliberately doing this."
"What do you think? Is it possible that Lu Yu was just pretending before? Suddenly, the monks in the city fled in droves, and even so many soldiers in the city were dispatched? I always feel that it is too coincidental."
These people were obviously very smart. They had guessed what Lu Yu was thinking just by looking at some clues.
more importantly.
"Mei Huaping is dead. She died in front of the dungeon at the North Gate!"
Another piece of news came.
At this moment, they immediately realized that something was wrong and stopped hesitating:
"First, send people to clean up all those who have left the North Gate."
"No matter what, we can't let any fish slip through the net!"
"Kill them all!"
What a coincidence, everything is such a coincidence.
One or two things might be considered coincidences, but when all of them appear together, it is not necessarily a coincidence.
Also a possibility.
It's chess!
only……
Just when everyone was about to start moving out and hunt down everyone who left the North Gate.
Suddenly, another message appeared:
"Gu Xiu appears!"
"It's inside the North Gate!"
