When Dugu Jian left the sinkhole and returned to the foot of the mountain, he saw Richard standing under a green pine on the side of the mountain road with his scabbard on his back, waiting uneasily.

At the same time, Richard also found Dugu Jian, his face was happy, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, he walked a few steps quickly to Dugu Jian, his expression was a little complicated, there was gratitude and some shame, and a little overwhelmed.

This is the first time Dugu Jian has seen this kind of look on his face, Richard has always been so old that it does not match his age, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, even if it is some old rivers and lakes that have walked the rivers and lakes for many years and are used to seeing wind and rain, they may not be comparable to him in terms of mood.

Dugu Jian quickly thought of the crux of the matter, and said softly: "What? Frightened by Shakti? ”

Richard smiled bitterly and didn't speak, from the open beta of the world of rivers and lakes to the present, there have been countless opponents large and small, and he has never been so helpless against an enemy as now, this helplessness makes him overwhelmed, and even a little desperate.

In Richard's heart, he thought that no matter what opponent he encountered, he would have a way to deal with it. When you encounter someone who is stronger than yourself like a godless, then use Ling Bo to kite him; If you encounter someone who is stronger than yourself, then use swordsmanship to block his activity space and force him to escape; If you encounter a fist that is stronger than your own, use a sword; When encountering swordsmanship stronger than his own, then he will be close to him and fist him; Every enemy has its own way to deal with it!

However, in the face of Emperor Shakti, Richard didn't know what kind of method to use, physique, body, internal strength... In every way, Shakti was not inferior to him, or even much stronger than him! The accumulation of thousands of years of Taoism and thousands of years of time has made this guy build himself into a decathlon existence!

Richard even felt in his heart that if he hadn't been so reckless and had made some thorough preparations, even if he couldn't defeat Emperor Shakti today, he wouldn't have ended up like he was now—instead of rescuing Jian Chen, who was to be saved, he let Nameless be frozen and captured.

Dugu Jian saw his thoughts, and said softly: "Being captured nameless has nothing to do with you, as a swordsman, the most important thing you can't lose is your heart." The scholarly spirit is still able to scold Fang Xuan, let alone our swordsmen? No matter how strong the enemy is, a sword is the enemy! ”

"One sword is not enough, then ten swords, one hundred swords, one thousand swords, ten thousand swords! As long as the sword is fast enough, even if it is 10,000 swords, it is actually just a sword. ”

As he spoke, the Dugu Sword suddenly came out, and the Wushuang Sword slowly swung forward. However, Richard's eyes widened suddenly, he saw a thousand phantoms from this sword, and each phantom represented a sword from the Dugu Sword!

This sword seems to be extremely slow, but it is actually extremely fast, and it is so fast that ordinary people can hardly imagine!

When he was about to draw the sword, Dugu Jian suddenly stopped his movements, handed the Wushuang Sword to Richard and said, "It doesn't matter if you lose this time, you can win it back next time." He has a thousand-year-old Taoism, an immortal body, and a hundred martial arts. And we..."

He paused, didn't continue, patted Richard on the shoulder and turned away. Richard stood in place and looked at the peerless sword in his hand in a daze, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and put the peerless sword into the scabbard, his expression was faintly unwilling, and he left the sinkhole with the peerless sword on his back.

On the top of the mountain behind him, Emperor Shakti looked at Richard's departing back, his eyes were full of struggle, and he finally did not choose to make a move, but looked up at the sky above him, and a huge white cloud sword slowly dissipated.

Tie Wuji was a little unwilling to say: "Sect Master, you just let him go?" ”

Emperor Shakti said slowly: "An old tiger is a tiger after all, the limit of Dugu Sword is approaching, he won't live long, I don't need to challenge his bottom line at this time." The last thing I lack is time, not to mention, he is not the only one who swallows Long Yuan. ”

"Pass the order, all the departments of the Heavenly Gate will do their best to search for the traces of Bu Jingyun, once they find it, they must not act rashly, this time, I will personally go out!"

Emperor Shakti's eyes were full of cold light, and he muttered in a low voice, "With Kaifeng's peerless sword, Bu Jingyun's strength has at least doubled. You must destroy his peerless sword... Open the ice prison, I want to meet my good master! ”

As he spoke, he turned around and jumped into the crack in the sinkhole.

…………………………………

A few days later.

"Ding, player Liu Hongyan asked to call you."

A system prompt suddenly sounded in Richard's ears, Richard sat up from the recliner, opened the friends panel and looked at the constantly beating dialog box, and frowned suspiciously, he obviously set up Do Not Disturb, what did Liu Hongyan do with himself at this juncture?

After hesitating for a moment, Richard chose to connect.

Without waiting for him to speak, Liu Hongyan's voice came from the other end, and she only heard her get straight to the point: "Ximen melon, have you been free recently?" I want to ask you for one thing. ”

Richard asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Hongyan said in a low voice: "Actually, strictly speaking, it's not that I want to ask you, but my dad." He wants me to ask you to investigate something for him in the world of rivers and lakes, and I see that you are not disturbed, but he keeps begging me, and I have to come to disturb you. If it's really inconvenient for you, it's okay not to say yes. ”

Richard couldn't laugh or cry, this girl said a lot, but she still didn't get to the point. At one point, he had to ask, "So what the hell is going on?" ”

Liu Hongyan said: "My dad didn't say it, he said he couldn't say it until he saw you." Wait, I'll let my dad come to see you. ”

With that, she hung up. Richard muttered, "I didn't even say where I was, how did you get your dad to come and see me... it! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the next moment he suddenly came to a modern office. A middle-aged man behind the desk stood up, walked up to Richard and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Ximen melon, I have long admired the name." ”

"You... You are..."

Richard blinked, and his tone was strange, "Liu Jiang?!" ”

The person in front of him is none other than Liu Jiang, the president of Jianghu Company! Although Richard had never met him, he was often seen in various interviews and promotional videos.

Richard's heart suddenly thought of something, his throat suddenly became a little dry, and he said astringently: "Liu Hongyan said that her father is you?" ”

Liu Jiang nodded with a smile and joked: "But I didn't give Hongyan any convenience to her, Jianghu is a completely independent game." Now even the wisdom of the rivers and lakes cannot interfere with the process of the world of rivers and lakes. ”

Richard agreed, but in his heart, it was abrupt, no wonder Liu Hongyan can often know some inside information in advance, this alone is already a big advantage, okay?

His heart suddenly moved, and he asked curiously: "The wisdom of the rivers and lakes cannot interfere with the process of the world of the rivers and lakes, what does this mean?" ”

Liu Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I'm in a hurry to see you." ”
