Chapter 360: Withdrawal from the Lingxiao Sect
When all the long swords were separated, the huge figure holding the two giant swords also disappeared, and then all the strange scenes recovered in turn, and the huge monster had also been destroyed by those long swords, and Li Xiuping was the only one in heaven and earth, hovering above the huge sword field out of thin air.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone was completely relaxed, and people looked at the young man standing above the sword ring, and their hearts were complicated.
The Qingying monk also left the Lingxiao Sect at this time, appeared beside Li Xiuping, looked at the swords all over the ground, and asked, "Don't you return it?" ”
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "It won't be long before this is the battlefield with the demons, if they want a sword, they will take it themselves." ”
The Qing Ming monk smiled and said, "That's a good idea. ”
Li Xiuping turned his head to look at the Qingming monk and said gratefully: "I worked hard before. ”
The Qingying monk sighed and said, "It's okay to be old, it's those monks of the Martial Emperor City and the Lingxiao Sect ......."
Li Xiuping nodded, did not speak, and his mood was inevitably a little low.
Martial Emperor City and Lingxiao Sect combined, hundreds of monks, just died, nothing was left, and it was all because of him.
He really didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the demon clan before, but now there are so many people who have died because of him, although these people all ask for something from him, but there are some accounts, which can't be calculated like this, not to mention that he actually didn't bring any benefits to these people. 33
The Qing Ming monk seemed to know Li Xiuping's thoughts, and comforted: "The battlefield is like this, you have been in the Night Division before, and you have fought with demon beasts, so you should know that the battlefield is the most light life and death, but now the battle situation has expanded a little, and the casualties have also increased a little, but this situation will happen in the future, and there will be more." ”
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I know, but I just think it's ......."
The Qing Ming monk asked, "Uncomfortable?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded.
The Qing Ming monk continued: "For them, their own life and death are important, but what is more important is the inheritance and continuation of this human civilization, so in their opinion, as long as you live, human beings can defeat the demons, so they are not dying for you, but for their own beliefs, for a kind of sustenance they have found......
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "People are really strange beings sometimes, even if they don't know anything about another person, but they can still put their faith and sustenance on that person, and can even give up their lives for that person, so people are obviously the most afraid of death, but sometimes they are the most determined to die. So, if you want to say that the meaning of cultivation is to achieve immortality, but when you want to say what the meaning of life is, no one can really say clearly. ”
Li Xiuping hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I am really uncomfortable with their deaths, but I hate this feeling of being forced even more. ”
The Qingming monk was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what Li Xiuping meant.
The Qingying monk asked, "Are you saying that you didn't want to meddle in these things, but now because of the death of these people, you have no choice, or is it very difficult to get through the hurdle in your heart?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded.
The Qingming monk smiled and said: "Everything is a fixed number, there is a providence in the underworld, people are alive, there are many helplessness, but some are a little smaller, some are a little bigger." Take this battle as an example, the entire human race, even the demon race, doesn't want to, but the demon invasion can only resist. Between you and the demons, it's not up to you to decide whether you want to or not. ”
Li Xiuping sighed and said, "Let's talk about these things later, let's solve the problem of the Lingxiao Sect first." What about the demons, I can't say, but these guys in the Stargazing Tower are really annoying. ”
The Qingming monk said with a smile: "Several times in a row, this stargazing tower can be regarded as a heavy loss, even if it is a holy land, even if it really has some great background, I am afraid that it will hurt my muscles and bones now." ”
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "I'm afraid that there is more than one stargazing building." ”
The Qingying monk frowned and said, "With your current strength, are you still afraid of them?" ”
Li Xiuping looked at the Qingying monk and said bitterly: "My abilities, monsters below the Tribulation Period can deal with it, but if it is a human monk, let alone the Merge Period, even if it is a strong person in the Distraction Period, it will be difficult to parry." ”
The Qingming monk was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I see, but it's okay like this, at least the old man can follow you with peace of mind." ”
Li Xiuping continued: "You really can't live without your predecessors. ”
The Qing Ming monk continued: "However, the kind of divine power you used before has obviously achieved great sword intent, even if you are a distraction stage cultivator, it will be difficult to resist. ”
Li Xiuping's newly recovered face became a little bitter, and said: "The problem is here, they are all sword cultivators, like the Sword Saint, my senior brother, seniors, after the sword intent is completed, as long as there is a sword in the hand, the sword intent can be exerted, and the higher the grade of the sword, the greater the promotion will be, but it can be ...... in my hands."
He didn't say anything further, but as soon as his mind moved, two swords appeared out of thin air, both of which were fairy swords.
One was given by the old woman of the demon clan when Li Xiuping was in the Hundred Demon Valley before, that is, left by his master Mr. Ou Ye, and was cultivated by Li Xiuping to be similar to the existence of the natal flying sword, and the other was given by the ancient immortal in the ruins of the ancient battlefield along with the inheritance.
Both swords are fairy swords, and even among the fairy swords, the grade is not low.
To destroy such an immortal sword, except for the holder, let alone the monk of the Tribulation Period, it is difficult for even a strong person in the Mahayana period to do it, but the holder will not self-destruct the immortal weapon unless it is a last resort, but now on these two immortal swords, there are cracks!
The Qing Ming monk frowned, and said in disbelief: "Is this because of your sword intent?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded bitterly.
Seeing Li Xiuping nodding, the Qingying monk was even more surprised, and said, "The two immortal swords can't withstand your sword intent, and your sword intent is inevitably too domineering." ”
Li Xiuping said helplessly: "Actually, when I was in Yunzhou before, there were already some clues, but at that time it was just a spirit sword, and with the sword left by my master, such a problem has never appeared again, I thought it had been solved, but I never thought that it would appear again now." ”
Li Xiuping put away the two swords, looked at the Qingming monk, and said helplessly: "Seniors now know how expensive my shot is, right?" ”
The Qingming monk did not answer, but looked stunned.
If this sword goes down, a fairy sword will be scrapped directly, who can afford it?
If this is against a strong opponent, if it is against some opponents who are not strong, wouldn't it be a knife to kill chickens?
Even if Li Xiuping is really a swordsmith, even if he can cast a fairy sword, but to cast a fairy sword, at Li Xiuping's current speed, it will take ten days and half a month, ten days and half a month of hard work, but it can only be used once, this is on anyone, it will not be easy to think about it, not to mention that if you want to cast a fairy sword, the materials required are not a small amount.
A fairy sword, in the hands of others, is a priceless treasure, and it is a huge improvement in one's own strength, but in the hands of Li Xiuping, the situation is completely different.
The Qingming monk said helplessly: "This is really ......"
For a moment, he didn't even know what to say.
Li Xiuping continued: "Fortunately, although this sword intent is domineering, it is not picky, so some spirit swords and ordinary swords can also be used at ordinary times, of course, they can only be used once." ”
The Qing Ming monk asked, "Does this mean that as long as the level of the sword is sufficient, it can withstand it, such as the divine sword." ”
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "Judging from the previous situation, it should be like this, but how can the divine sword be so easy to find, let alone cast." ”
As he said this, he looked down at the wood knife hanging from his waist.
Since he had those immortal treasures on his body, he actually rarely used that chai knife, and even with the improvement of his strength, he rarely re-forged that chai knife, and now there is the previous situation, and it is still a fairy sword, so he thought of this chai knife again.
This firewood knife was not forged by Li Xiuping, but forged by Mr. Ouyeel, what method and what material was used, Li Xiuping did not know, and only handed it to Li Xiuping for the method of reforging, and the method of reforging, the most important point is that it cannot change the original attributes and essence of this firewood knife.
Therefore, this chai knife can form a fit and suppress the sword intent in Li Xiuping's body, and it can withstand the sword intent in his body, but there is a premise, that is, the speed of forging must keep up with the speed of his strength improvement.
In other words, if he didn't want to waste those immortal swords in the future, he could only use this firewood knife, and if he wanted to use this firewood knife, he had to make up for the forging progress that had fallen before.
There are already a lot of trivial matters to deal with in front of him, and now there is one more thing, Li Xiuping is really a little big......
As the two returned to the Lingxiao Sect, countless people immediately saluted at the same time, but many people were still in shock, looking at Li Xiuping's eyes full of awe and worship.
It doesn't matter what realm or age he is, what matters is that he can solve a lot of troubles that others can't solve, and they see it with their own eyes.
Just before, almost everyone thought that the Lingxiao Sect was about to cease to exist, and in front of such powerful monsters, even if reinforcements really arrived, the Lingxiao Sect would be razed to the ground, but this young man was able to solve it easily.
He Feng walked up at this time, seemed to blame himself a little, and said: "I was worried before, so I opened the city defense in advance, which led to a lot of problems now, you must know ......"
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "It's okay, since the city defense has been opened in advance, notify the Maple Leaf City side, start retreating, and prepare the fourth line of defense at the same time." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only He Feng, but everyone was stunned.
Is this to give up Maple Leaf City directly?
Once it exits Maple Leaf City, it means that the entire east of the Lingxiao Sect has fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan, and the current situation of the Lingxiao Sect is afraid that it will not be able to withstand it for long, and then it will have to give up this line of defense and push it to the fourth line of defense.
Although the Lingxiao Sect is only one of the lines of defense, it will be lost sooner or later, and everyone is mentally prepared, but this speed is inevitably too fast, and there is a big deviation from the plan.
According to the original plan, the defense of Martial Emperor City was the strongest, and it could withstand it for at least three months, while the defense line of Maple Leaf City was not as good as that of Martial Emperor City, and because of the extension of the battle line, it could also resist for about three months because of the existence of the rules of heaven and earth.
So far, whether it is Martial Emperor City or Maple Leaf City, they are all proceeding according to the plan, in fact, even if they retreat to the Lingxiao Sect's defense line now, they are still in the plan.
But according to the plan, the Lingxiao faction's defense line will last at least five months, but as far as the Lingxiao faction's current city defense situation is concerned, let alone five months, two months are difficult, although it has the effect of the rules of heaven and earth, it can only support three months at most.
This means that retreating to the Lingxiao Sect's line of defense now will directly reduce the time by two months.
Two months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, if it is used to arrange the fourth line of defense, it can make the fourth line of defense more perfect, so as to better resist the demon army and reduce casualties.
Another point, Li Xiuping's simple sentence affected not only the defense line of the Lingxiao faction, but the various forces to the west of the entire Maple Leaf City defense line, millions of people.
Looking at He Feng's expression, Li Xiuping continued: "Go, anyway, there is no better way now, and at the same time notify it, so that those forces under the mountain are ready to evacuate." ”
He Feng saw that Li Xiuping had already made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, and began to implement Li Xiuping's wishes.
The Lingxiao Sect, which was already in chaos, quickly took action, and no one seemed to care about the previous battles, the people who died before, even if one of them was the head of the Lingxiao Sect.
According to common sense, if a sect has no leader, the entire sect will inevitably be chaotic, and many things cannot be carried out, but the Lingxiao Sect is now like a huge machine, and every monk in the Lingxiao Sect is only a part of this machine, and if there are fewer people, this machine may also be affected, but it can still operate normally.
Because as early as when the Lingxiao Sect became the third line of defense, it was no longer the head of the Lingxiao Sect that determined whether the Lingxiao Sect could operate.
But in the back mountain of the Lingxiao faction, there is an old man, who is holding a booklet and a brush at the moment, writing down those who died in battle one by one, and is writing down at this moment: "The seventh generation of the head of the Lingxiao faction, in order to resist the demons, died in the east sent by Lingxiao, in September." ”
Li Xiuping is not idle, and is making up for the leaks at the moment according to the city defense matters of the Night Walking Division.
Because the city defense matter was not perfected before, many problems have appeared after the early opening, some problems can be remedied, and some problems are not, so Li Xiuping's task now is to find out those problems that can be remedied and remedy.
The entire city defense is naturally not only the Lingxiao faction, but the Lingxiao faction as the starting point, a line from north to south, so it is obviously impossible for Li Xiuping to complete it in a short period of time with Li Xiuping alone, which requires the help of those people in the Night Walking Division.
Although Gao Yunmian brought a lot of high-level leaders of the Night Walking Division this time, because he also took some of them with him when he left, it was impossible for the remaining people to take care of the entire front, but no matter how far they could go, when those people in Maple Leaf City pushed to the defense line of the Lingxiao Sect, everyone had to withdraw.
In two days, the Lingxiao faction and the surrounding city defenses have basically been solved, and at this time, there are already strong people who have withdrawn from Maple Leaf City one after another.
At this moment, Li Xiuping was helping with alchemy at the alchemy office, because with the withdrawal of Maple Leaf City, many wounded people were brought in, and the elixir of the Lingxiao Sect suddenly became in short supply.
He Feng walked in and said, "Childe, let's go." ”
Li Xiuping replied while refining the pill: "You guys withdraw first, I still have to deal with some things here." ”
He Feng was stunned.
Li Xiuping continued: "Don't worry, with my current strength, some dangers can be dealt with, and there are also Qing Ming seniors, there won't be too many problems." ”
He Feng asked, "Are all the people withdrawn?" ”
Li Xiuping didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while before he said: "Leave half of the Night Xing Division, there are still a lot of city defense matters to be solved, just take all the alchemists away, and the refiners take some of them." ”
He Feng nodded and said, "Okay." ”
She then added, "Be careful, that son. ”
Li Xiuping nodded and continued to refine the pill.
He Feng didn't want to stay any longer, so he left directly with those alchemists, and soon Li Xiuping was left alone in the entire alchemy office, which became empty.
As these people left, it didn't take long for the spirit boats to rise into the air, and then headed west.
After Li Xiuping finished refining an elixir, he would only look up, and then continue refining the next elixir.
At this time, the Qing Ying Monk walked in and said, "The Maple Leaf City side has basically withdrawn, and the weapons that were refined before have also been distributed, but it is still far from enough, once the demon army arrives, it will inevitably be a bitter battle here." ”
Li Xiuping nodded to indicate that he already knew, but did not speak.
The Qing Ming monk continued, "Do you really plan to stay? ”
Li Xiuping nodded again.
The Qingying monk wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't speak, but turned around and walked out, after all, he couldn't just protect Li Xiuping, now the most lacking thing in the Lingxiao faction is manpower, and he can help a little bit.
After no more spirit boats were raised, Li Xiuping no longer refined the pills, but took away all the pills he had just refined and the pills that the alchemists had refined before, and left the alchemy place.
This batch of pills is far from enough to treat the existing wounded, let alone those who were injured in the battle later, and that batch of alchemists has now retreated to the fourth line of defense, even if they start alchemy directly, it will take about ten days to send the first batch of pills over, that is to say, if there is a battle within these ten days, many wounded will not be able to get timely treatment, so they can only reduce casualties.
The best way to reduce casualties is weapons.
Therefore, after Li Xiuping handed over these pills to those powerhouses in Emperor Martial City, he went directly to the refining office.
The refiner didn't take it all away, and now there are quite a few left. At this moment, when these people saw Li Xiuping coming, they all saluted at the same time.
Although they all knew that this place was about to become a battlefield, there was no fear on everyone's face, but a state of high morale.
Some people died, but not completely......
