It will be dark again, and another day will pass, and the final judgment will be drawn closer.

Li Tinghuan stood in a small courtyard, looking at the red glow in the sky in the west, and sighed in his heart, although he had a lot of cards in his hand, there were really few cards to play. Anyway, this time, he is doomed to fail in the battle with the Five Peerless Sects, the difference is only how much he will lose.

When Lone Ying smiled and said that he would use this Sword Immortal City as a bet and die with the Five Peerless Gates, Li Qianhuan knew that he had lost.

However, as a commander, Li Qianhuan will never show his negative emotions, he still has a confident look in front of people, and anyone can feel his flying spirit and compelling self-confidence.

"It's almost time!" Li Qianhuan, who had been standing here for a long time without making a sound, spoke, and the faces of the four of them showed a look of listening.

Li Tanhuan turned around, looked at the Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu who had been standing behind him, and chuckled. His demeanor was relaxed, as if they were not going to fight an existential battle, but as simple as just admiring the moon.

"Qinglong, you go and deal with the annihilation we brought back from outside a few days ago, change all of them into the clothes of our Sword Immortal City cabinet disciples, and then kill them directly and discard them in the most conspicuous place in Sword Immortal City. In the shortest possible time, let the entire Sword Immortal City know that it is the Five Peerless Sects that are going to make a move on my Sword Immortal City! Li Tanhuan calmly issued the first order.

"Yes!" Qinglong replied respectfully, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard directly.

"Suzaku?" Li Qianhuan's voice raised slightly.

"In!"

"The conditions you negotiated with the twelve families to which my Sword Immortal City belonged, I don't think they will fulfill it! This catastrophe is destined to be survived only by ourselves. Over there, you don't have to rush anymore, I have another task for you! ”

"Huh?" Suzaku was slightly dissatisfied in his voice, but he didn't refute it.

Li Qianhuan continued: "According to my estimate, in the past few days, someone will definitely go to the Sword God Mountain to explore, to determine if the master has really disappeared!" Therefore, I want you to pretend to be a master, stay in the Sword Pavilion, and wait for them. Although it is useless to set up a suspicious array in this way, it can at least make them jealous in their hearts, and they will not act too rashly in these days. Gain us a little time to set up. ”

"Got it!" Although Suzaku and Li Tinghuan are not on the right path, they can still trust Li Tinghuan's resourcefulness and ability!

"If the situation is out of your control, send us a signal! We must delay them and prevent them from moving ahead of time, otherwise we have absolutely no hope of victory! At the end, Li Tianhuan's voice was raised, and his eyes swept over everyone in the yard.

Everyone looked stunned and nodded in unison!

Hearing Li Qianhuan's words, a trace of pride flashed on Suzaku's face, and then a resolute determination appeared on his face, and he hugged his fists and said, "Please rest assured, uncle!" I, Suzaku, will definitely complete the task! I won't let the people of the Five Absolute Sects find out this secret. ”

Then, Li Tianhuan quickly picked out ten elite disciples and sent them to Suzaku. After receiving the order, Suzaku led ten elite disciples to leave quickly.

Li Tianhuan watched Suzaku leave, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he ordered the other characters present at the same time: "White Tiger and Xuanwu stay!" Others went as planned! ”

Everyone left in an instant, and only three people were left in the courtyard!

"After a while, the two of you will accompany me to the city to walk around and see the last prosperity of our Sword Immortal City. After that, I won't see it again. Looking at the only two people left, Li Qianhuan sighed quietly.

White Tiger and Xuanwu immediately frowned, but they didn't speak, putting their doubts in their hearts.

………… Night had fallen, and in a small tavern in Sword Immortal City, a man wearing the costume of a disciple of the inner gate of Sword Immortal City was lying on the table, motionless for more than ten minutes.

The proprietress of the wine house felt a little strange, the inner disciples of Sword Immortal City generally had tasks on their bodies, and it was impossible to hide here and be lazy with nothing to do, and generally the inner disciples were good at martial arts, and they would not make mistakes because of drunkenness. Therefore, the proprietress felt very strange and reminded her kindly, so the proprietress walked over and called him.

"Hey, this brother, it's not early, if you don't leave, the shop will be closed."

The disciple lay on the table, but nothing responded.

The proprietress called a second time, but there was still no response.

The proprietress began to be suspicious, and when she sensed that something was wrong, she reached out and pushed him.

"Huh? This person is not right, why is he so hard? The proprietress muttered, and the strength in her hand increased a little.

Suddenly, with a force, the man was pushed away with a "snap" and fell directly to the ground.

When he turned over, his eyes were gone, just staring at the ceiling hollowly, and his face was already full of blue-gray that only a dead man had.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a shrill cry full of fear pierced the entire sky...... In less than a while, the patrol team of Sword Immortal City quickly arrived at the scene and blocked the surroundings!

Then, under the trembling narration of the proprietress, the patrol team of Sword Immortal City quickly verified the cause of the disciple's death.

The disciple had a fiery red palm print on his chest, as if he had been burned.

When a patrol member saw this palm print, he roared angrily: "This is the flame palm of the Five Absolute Blessing Family, can't we see it?" It is really unreasonable to commit murder in our Sword Immortal City! I'm going to settle accounts with them! ”

But before the patrol member finished speaking, he was immediately pulled away by his teammates, and the captain also warned the boss lady not to talk to others.

As soon as the patrol team left, the proprietress felt that things were a little troublesome, and for the sake of safety, she quickly closed the shop, prepared the softness, and left Sword Immortal City with her family that night.

The neighbors sensed that something was wrong, and inquired about each other again, and heard that a disciple of Sword Immortal City had died in this shop in the afternoon. Moreover, at that time, someone recognized it as the flame palm of the Five Peerless Gates.

Suddenly, many people understood that the Five Peerless Gates were menacing, and Sword Immortal City was afraid that it was going to encounter major changes that had not been seen in a century.

Even, there were faint rumors that the sword god Dongfang Haobai suddenly summoned Li Tianhuan and other disciples and grandchildren in Sword Immortal City a few days ago to announce the ownership and first position of Sword Immortal City. It is rumored that Dongfang Haobai was cultivating in the Great Wilderness not long ago, and was severely injured by a mysterious master who had lived in seclusion for many years, and now he is dying, and I am afraid that he will not survive for four or five days.

This kind of thing is happening in many places in Sword Immortal City at the same time...... The news is chaotic, but it all shows one thing, Sword Immortal City is about to change.

However, many people don't know that this hand was planned by Li Qianhuan, in order to make the people of the Five Peerless Sects scratch their heads, and for the sake of prudence, they will not act indiscriminately before the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

And the repercussions were indeed as Li Qianhuan expected.

The disciples who had been scattered by the Five Absolute Sects were soon called back, which inevitably caused a large-scale conflict before the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month.

………… In the five-peer guest house, the five masters of the five-peer gate are deeply locked and puzzled.

"Sword God Dongfang Haobai is back? It can't be that coincidental, right? Are we going to go home this time? We've been planning for this for so long, and we're going to return in vain? I would never agree with it! One of the five peerless sect masters suddenly said, he was wearing a fiery red robe, a purple sun golden crown was tied up, and the momentum of the whole person looked like a flame. If nothing else, this person should be the head of the Five Absolute Wishes family.

"Fourth, what are you panicking about?" The oldest of the five stood up and said. After he finished speaking, he looked at the other three again, and when he saw that the three of them were also incredible, their brows were deeply locked, and he continued: "You three, are you also afraid? ”

"Boss! We are not afraid of this matter! Another man stood up and said. This man was wearing a dark yellow robe, with a burly figure and a calm face, but at the moment he spoke with panic.

"If the Sword God Dongfang Haobai really returns, our plan will not be 100% successful. Instead, maybe all five of us will die here. Originally, Li Tianhuan and the four major commanders of the Sword Immortal City would be difficult for us to deal with. It was Qin Zhaoshi who said that Huoyuntian would unite a large number of masters to cooperate, but now, has Qin Zhaoshi brought anyone here? We're afraid we'll be used as guns! When the man had finished speaking, he hung his feet and panned his chest with remorse.

"Humph! Old Five, what kind of cool words are you saying now! You were in favor of it at first! If you weren't so active, I would have waited a little longer......" Another man stood up, but he pointed to the man who had just spoken.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others joined in accusing each other, and the scene was chaotic.

"Enough!"

The black iron dragon head staff in the boss's hand slammed the ground hard, making a "bang" explosion. The others stopped and looked at the boss.

"Maybe it didn't come to this!" The Boss pondered for a moment before speaking. But he wasn't sure, and paced back and forth in the house.

"Dongfang Haobai is back, this is what their Sword Immortal City said! Do you believe whatever they say? The more critical times like these, it is always right for us to be cautious. But we can't scare ourselves. Didn't they say that Dongfang Haobai was back, but he was seriously injured? Hum...... If you listen to this by a different person, you may really believe it. But I don't believe it! ”

"Boss, what do you mean......" The other four also began to suspect something, feeling that something was wrong with this matter. If Dongfang Haobai was really injured, on the side of Sword Immortal City, it was too late to conceal it, how could he say it?

The old man chuckled and continued, "I mean. Even if Dongfang Haobai comes back, we must not stop at this juncture! This is our best opportunity in 100 years! Now, we have only two options before us. Either bet that Dongfang Haobai did not come back, or we bet that the news is true. Dongfang Haobai came back, but was seriously injured! ”

But when the others heard this, they shook their heads and said nothing, and the head of the Zhu family stood up again and objected: "But what if the two news are fake? ”

"If both news are false, then we can only put all our hopes on Huo Yuntian! I hope Qin Zhaoshi didn't lie to us! ”

After the old man finished speaking, the other four sect masters were in an uproar all of a sudden.

Seeing that the four of them began to quarrel again, the old man suddenly couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "What a quarrel! What kind of system? Do you think there's a way back now? Li Qianhuan already knew our thoughts, if he missed this great opportunity, he said that if the major disciples of Sword Immortal City learned about these news, it would not be much, there were three or four disciples who went up to our Five Peerless Mountains, and we would all find ways to please us. For now, we can only cooperate with Huoyuntian. I believe that they will be able to completely replace Sword Immortal City! Otherwise, we will never want to have a peaceful sleep in the future. ”

"But for the sake of insurance, tonight, the second and third, the two of you will go up to the Sword God Mountain to see if Dongfang Haobai is really back?"

The second and third looked at each other, and although they knew that this thing was extremely dangerous, they still accepted it.

"Yes. Top dog. ”

………… Li Tianhuan, Baihu and Xuanwu walked along the city wall, watching the sword trick on the city wall over and over again.

But when they were halfway there, a violent killing intent suddenly swept towards the three of them. Then, a mysterious man dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

The hem of the man in black was embroidered with four golden clouds of fire. The appearance of this fire cloud is extremely unique, and once you see it once, you will be impressed. Li Qianhuan and the three of them were quickly attracted by this fire cloud.

"Four Fire Clouds, you are the Second Venerable of Fire Cloud Heaven, smiling proudly?" Li Tianhuan's face changed slightly. Judging from the killing intent on this person just now, the three of them were by no means the opponents of this arrogant sword.

With a sword of laughter, the whole person was buried in the wide fire cloud robe, making it impossible to see his face at the moment.

"Proud of the sword, he joined Huoyun Heaven fifteen years ago, his origin is mysterious, and he is good at using a purple-red soft sword, which is trusted by the deep Huoyun Heavenly Palace Lord. It is rumored that you have cultivated to the Great Heavenly Realm and the Great Perfection Realm, and you will definitely be able to enter the Guiyuan Immortal Realm within ten years. I don't know, what kind of deal did the Five Peerless Sect make with you Huo Yuntian, why did even a character like you come? I don't understand, what is there in our Sword Immortal City that is worthy of the coveting of a master like you? Li Tianhuan's brows were deeply locked, not to mention the mysterious origin of this person, the key is that his strength is too strong, he has reached the peak of the Great Heaven Realm, and there are not many people in this world who have his strength.

At this moment, Ao Xiao Yijian chuckled, and then, he suddenly pulled his hood, and then, revealing a face that Li Tianhuan was extremely familiar with. His whole face was extremely fair, perhaps hidden under the hood for a long time, and looked a little sickly pale, but this face was as cold as ever, as proud as ever.

And, as always, let Li Qianhuan be familiar with ...... "Are you - Dongfang Xiaoyi?" Haven't you only been away from the Oriental family for less than three years? How could it be ......" Li Qianhuan's pupils twitched a few times very unnaturally. Because he had recognized the man in front of him. This person is the elder who left the Dongfang family after losing the battle with Dongfang Ming three years ago.

"Three years ago? Hehe...... Dumping Huan, you don't think that I really lost to Ming'er three years ago, right? Dongfang laughed a few times.

"If I had thought so before. However, seeing you now, wouldn't it be a fool if I thought so again? If three years can allow a person to directly cultivate from the middle level of the Great Heaven Realm to the Great Perfection of the Great Heaven Realm, then, don't I, Li Qianhuan, have to go directly to the wall? Li Tinghuan also smiled casually. He was extremely jealous of this sudden appearance of Dongfang Xiao. Now, surrounded by enemies outside Sword Immortal City, he still had a trace of confidence to resist. But at this moment, he saw that the descendants of the original Dongfang family were now clearly wearing Huoyuntian's clothes, and they had also become the second venerable of Huoyuntian's high power. Li Tinghuan suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Dongfang Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing impossible about this. Three years ago, I did lose to Ming'er. And at the time, I did give it my all. It's not what you think. To be honest, I wasn't deliberately humble. ”

"What? Then ......" Li Tinghuan looked at Dongfang in disbelief and smiled. There were turbulent waves in my heart. Can three years really make a person improve so much?

"You must suspect that I'm lying. It's a pity that everything I say is the truth! All of what I am now is given by the palace master! ”

After saying this, Dongfang Xiaoyi suddenly showed bitterness and helplessness, and glanced at Li Tianhuan with deep meaning: "Now, can you understand my intention?" Dongfang said with a smile, and the invisible momentum on his body suddenly reversed and began to envelop Li Tianhuan.

A trace of cold sweat crossed Li Qianhuan's forehead, Dongfang Xiaoyi can be reborn in three years, and he is so strong that he is so strong, so how strong should the palace master of Huoyuntian be? It is rumored that the Phoenix Tree, the master of the Huoyun Heavenly Palace, is the only existence in the world that is comparable to his master, Li Qianhuan was still suspicious, but at this moment, when he saw Dongfang Xiaoyi returning after three years, he couldn't give birth to any ideas.

After a pause, Li Tianhuan asked with difficulty: "So, are you here to be the enemy of Sword Immortal City?" Have you come here today to kill your own people? ”

Dongfang Xiao stopped talking, and he didn't speak until a long time.

"I have not come to be your enemy? It's not up to me to call the shots. You will never understand the methods of the palace master. I advise you to give up resistance...... In that case, I can beg the palace master not to blame you. ”

Hearing this, Li Tanhuan suddenly burst out laughing, and tears of laughter were about to come out.

He suddenly pointed at Dongfang Xiaoyi and shouted, "You are not Dongfang Xiaoyi!" Dongfang Xiaoyi would never say such a thing! ”

"Of course I'm Dongfang Xiaoyi!" Dongfang Xiaoyi, who was dressed in Huoyuntian clothes, suddenly tore off the robe on his body, and then, a soft sword appeared in his hand, which was purple-red. But around his waist, there was still a sword hanging from it, and the hilt of the sword had a family rune unique to the Dongfang family.

Facing Dongfang Xiaoyi's powerful momentum, Li Tianhuan's heart was not afraid at all.

"You two go first!" Li Tianhuan took a few steps forward and came to the opposite side of Dongfang Xiaoyi.

The white tiger raised his hand and sent a signal to the sky. The green fireworks reached the sky in an instant, and then shattered into countless halves, and the entire Sword Immortal City was clearly visible. After that, Baihu and Xuanwu quickly ran towards the Guiyuan Building to find Lin Xibai.

It was only at this time that Dongfang Xiaoyi looked at Li Tianhuan with a complicated face, and said with a sigh: "People always change. Three years, a lot can happen! But three years later, I see that nothing has changed for you. That's nice! ”

"It's a pity that you've changed! I don't even know you anymore! Presumably, after today, you will never be able to go home. Dongfang Xiaoyi has died in the Great Wilderness. You're not Dongfang Xiaoyi! You are a proud sword, the second Venerable of Huoyuntian! Please don't get it wrong again. Also, you are not welcome in Sword Immortal City! Please leave! ”

Dongfang Xiao still had a faint smile when he heard this.

But suddenly, Li Tanhuan was alarmed, and at this moment, Dongfang Xiaoyi's sword suddenly came out of its sheath and spit out towards Li Tanhuan like a ghost. At this moment, Li Tianhuan seemed to see the soft sword in Dongfang Xiaoyi's hand, turning into several spirit snakes and coming to him in an instant.

The little purple red on the tip of the sword, like the crimson letter of the snake, is very dazzling in the dark night!

Li Tianhuan sneered, and the soft sword on his waist was also suddenly unsheathed, entangled with Dongfang Xiaoyi's sword.

"Ding—"

The two soft swords were entangled together in an instant!

It's just that this entanglement, in less than a moment, only a trilling sound of "呒" was heard, and the two swords shook in unison, and they separated from each other!

Li Tianhuan's wrist trembled, and this fight actually made the strength in his hands disappear. But at this moment, Dongfang Xiaoyi had no effect, the sword in his hand seemed to be alive, followed by a strange arc, and lightly slashed on Li Tianhuan's arm.

"Whew-"

Li Tianhuan snorted and looked at his arm, there was already a small wound, and at this moment, blood was bubbling out.

"Dumping Huan, how about this sword? I remember, three years ago, I was far from being your match! Now, it's only three years late, and the gap between us is already so big! Do you think that I can progress so fast in Dongfangjia? Dongfang said with a faint smile.

"Can't!" Li Tianhuan admitted frankly.

The sword just now was very similar to the sword that Lone Shadow gave him when he smiled. This sword is no longer a sword, it seems that there is a mysterious space in it, and in an instant, it can change some of the rules of heaven and earth. In the battle, it only takes this slightest difference to decide the victory in an instant.

This is the gap in the realm, and it can never be bridged by ingenuity!

"So, I left the Dongfang family and joined Huoyuntian, in your opinion, is it right or wrong?" Dongfang Xiaoyi continued to ask. However, the indifference on his face had disappeared. His eyes stared at Li Tianhuan like a burning fire.

"It's wrong!" Li Tinghuan replied without thinking!

Dongfang Xiao was not surprised when he heard this. He just asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with me joining Huoyuntian for better cultivation?" The sword technique of the Dongfang family is not suitable for me, so what is wrong with me practicing the fire cloud magic technique given by the palace master? You tell me! Where did I go wrong? Even if I don't use my sword now, I can easily defeat any of you! Now, I'm the strongest! I'm so excited to see you look worried about it. ”

"Huh...... I think of when Dongfang Ming defeated me, those white eyes disdain...... I've had enough of here! Now, I am standing here, even if it is you Li Tianhuan, you will never dare to underestimate me again! You say, am I wrong? But I think you're wrong! ”

"You're wrong." Li Tianhuan's words were not heavy, but they were deeply pierced in Dongfang Xiaoyi's heart.

"Don't kid yourself anymore! Actually, I'm sure you know you're wrong. Otherwise, why do you come to me for confirmation? ”

"Are you scared? So, you want to persuade me! Dongfang smiled and sneered, looking at the disciples of Sword Immortal City who came up from all around. shouted: "He Li Qianhuan is afraid of me!" I want you to see who I am! ”

"I'm the kind of trash you call your own nephew can't beat me! But now, see? I only need a sword to get Li Tianhuan's surname killed! Ha ha...... He is Li Qianhuan, a disciple of the Sword God, the head of the Ten Thousand Swords Building, and the seventy-two cities of the Northland have always been the best Li Qianhuan! ”

"It turns out that one day, I can also raise my eyebrows so loudly!"

"You say, 'What am I wrong?' Haha......"

The disciples of Sword Immortal City looked at each other, and many people didn't understand who this mysterious person who suddenly appeared was, but when someone recalled Dongfang Mingna's battle of fame, they suddenly remembered.

It turned out that Dongfang Ming's defeated uncle was called Dongfang Xiaoyi.

Dongfang smiled, but he came back today, and he defeated Li Qianhuan with one sword!

Soon, the disciples of Sword Immortal City began to hesitate. They froze there. I didn't know what to do, I just looked at Dongfang blankly and laughed maniacally.

Dongfang smiled for a long time, but stopped abruptly. He turned around, glanced at the hundreds of Sword Immortal City disciples around him, and said, "Everyone has their own choice. I just chose my own value when I was abandoned. I'm not wrong. If you insist on saying that I am wrong, then please show enough strength to convince me! ”

Speaking of this, Dongfang Xiao's voice changed, and he suddenly became sad, and he silently glanced at the huge Oriental ancient mansion on the corner of the street.

His eyes were full of nostalgia and many warm memories. But then, he turned his head ruthlessly.

"Today, I came to Sword Immortal City, just to take one last look at this beautiful hometown...... Now, I'm done. ”

As soon as Dongfang smiled and finished speaking, his figure swept away, and he directly turned into a floating light and disappeared.

Li Tianhuan looked at the direction in which Dongfang Xiaoyi disappeared, his eyes were full of shock: "Could it be that Huo Yuntian has already guessed our plan?" Since they are not the Sword Immortal City, what do they want......

…………
