[The fifteenth day of the first month of the tenth year of Daqian Jingyi, noon, Chang'an Chengdong City]

Xu Ke and Hu Yiyi walked in the east market of Chang'an City, only to see a street market that was once prosperous and lively, but now it has become dilapidated. The middle road has been repaired and finally smoothed and widened, but the walls on both sides are still broken. Although there are many shops in the entire East Market, large areas of waste earth and gravel can still be seen along the way.

Xu Ke walked over, and saw that there were very few types of goods sold in the East Market, most of them were pickled meat pieces and salt blocks for cooking, but it was extremely difficult to find some other daily necessities, and it was impossible to find vegetables, fruits, flowers, leaves, grasses, and mushrooms. Most of the stall owners and shop men were yellow-skinned, dusty, and coughed twice from time to time. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly, feeling a little bored in his heart......

Chang'an, which was full of flowers yesterday, has become yesterday after all! Now the only extravagant hope of these people in Chang'an City is to be able to live, even in this treacherous land, every day is so difficult! Xu Ke looked at the lifeless scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart. He was about to turn around and walk back, when he suddenly heard a bell ringing, and a large group of people and horses in front of him came in front of him surrounded by a large carriage covered with yellow cloth.

One of the guards led by the captain shouted to the pedestrians on both sides of the road: "The emperor has come to see you!

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and at this time, the entire Chang'an City is the most pedestrians in the East City. What's more, it is noon at this moment, and it is also the hour when there is the most sunlight in the world, and the Warcraft is the most reluctant to go out. Emperor Jingyi chose such an hour and personally rode to Dongshi.

"Your Majesty!"

"The emperor is here!"

"I'll wait to see the emperor!"

......

The pedestrians in the East Market, together with all the shopkeepers and shopkeepers of the shops and vendors, heard that the emperor had come here, and all of them gathered around, and many of them knelt down one after another to salute Emperor Jingyi.

Seeing that the pedestrians and cargo owners were all gathered, the spacious yellow cloth carriage also stopped, and a beautiful man with a graceful demeanor stepped out of the car. I saw that he was wearing a silver crown inlaid with jade, a purple and red pleated robe, a pair of gold cloud head shoes on his feet, and a piece of exquisite white jade hanging from his waist.

Xu Ke saw the "rich and noble man" slowly walking down from the carriage from a distance, and he saw that the person's face was vaguely familiar, but he was not very familiar, so he asked Hu Yiyi beside him:

"Sister Hu, is he the emperor today?"

Hu Yiyi replied: "It should be, right? Look at this formation, if it weren't for the emperor, who would have such a grand style......?

Xu Ke couldn't help but think that in the past ten years, Hu Yiyi, Yao Zibei and others have stayed in Xuchang Tubao, this Chang'an City should be very rare, how can she recognize the current emperor?

At this moment, the Emperor Jingyi stepped out of the carriage and walked into the crowd, while raising his hand again and again to signal everyone to get up quickly and not to kneel, while smiling and "talking cordially" with the people......

"It turns out that he is the former King of Jin!" Xu Ke couldn't help but think of how many times he had been in the early days of Taiyuan Palace, and he had taken a picture with that King of Jin from afar. At that time, I saw that the king of Jin was heroic and had the courage of a king, but I never thought that ten years later, it was really him who ascended the throne as the emperor and took over the "great world".

Although, today's Daqian world is actually just a Chang'an City.

"He's the King of Jin, I can't imagine it, he looks quite handsome! Moreover, he looks so young!" Hu Yiyi said with a smile. As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Xu Ke carefully up and down, as if she was secretly evaluating the two of them, who was higher and who was lower.

"This is strange!" Xu Ke wondered: "This person's age, now at least over forty years old, how can he still look so young?

Hu Yiyi gently patted Xu Ke's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Just let you look young and good-looking, and your face will never be old!

Xu Ke scratched his forehead and said, "That's not what I meant...... I just think this person looks a little too white. In today's demonic world, everyone else is yellow-skinned and black-faced, and he is decrepit before he gets old, how can he become so young......! This obviously doesn't make sense!"

Hu Yiyi couldn't help but nod and said: "If he is the King of Jin, he is already forty-six years old this year, according to common sense, he really shouldn't look so young! There must be something abnormal in this matter, maybe it is ......"

Hu Yiyi was about to speak, but she heard a sudden uproar in the crowd. Many people knelt down before the emperor one after another, and they bowed to each other, thanking them loudly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Prime Minister, for giving us so much food!"

"The grass people thank the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

......

It turned out that at some point, a tall old man in a purple robe came to the emperor's side. He led the soldiers to move down bags of various supplies and distribute them to the passers-by present.

During the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor came to Dongshi in person, gave some cordial condolences to the people of the great cadres, and brought a lot of materials (almost all of them were pieces of demonic beast meat from the soldiers), which were distributed to everyone on the spot...... This situation, looking directly at the people present, is all grateful, mountain

Hooray!

Xu Ke doesn't like to be lively by nature, seeing this chaotic scene, he pulled Hu Yiyi's hand, and the two turned around and left.

Just a few steps away, Xu Ke suddenly saw a "big bird" flying down under the boundless smoke net in the sky. The "big bird" had a pair of golden wings, and at this moment his golden wings were furious, and he was swooping towards him in the wind......

Hu Yiyi hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Wuxi, be careful!"

Xu Ke hurriedly lowered his head, pulled out the long sword from behind his back, and stared at it. However, the "big bird" jumped over Xu Ke and flew straight behind him. Obviously, the monster's target here was not him, Xu Ke.

The crowd behind Xu Ke suddenly became a mess, only to hear pedestrians and cargo owners shouting in panic:

"Oh no! The Golden-Winged Demon King is here!"

"Everyone, run away! It's the Golden-Winged Demon King!"

"Dad, where are you?"

"Lady, hide it quickly!"

"Dog, dad, run away!"

......

The captain of the guard escorting the emperor ordered loudly:

"Don't panic, protect the emperor!"

Then he shouted:

"Prime Minister, ...... Come here!"

"Your Majesty, advance the carriage!"

......

Xu Ke turned to look at the sky, and only then did he see that the "big bird" that suddenly landed from the sky was a humanoid monster with a pair of golden wings. Except for a pair of huge golden wings on its back, the rest of the monster's hands, feet, and face were no different from those of an ordinary human.

At this time, the emperor Li Xi, under the protection of all the soldiers, was about to enter the carriage and flee quickly. But the "Golden-winged Demon King" swooped down and overturned the spacious carriage covered with yellow cloth. After the Golden-Winged Demon King overturned the carriage, he screamed in the air, and then leaned down and rushed down, flying straight towards Li Xi......

"Protect the emperor!" the captain of the guard raised his sword, and dozens of guard soldiers around him each had spears, surrounding Li Xituan in the core.

The pair of huge wings of the Golden-Winged Demon King were all spread out to be two feet wide, and the feathers on the golden wings were as hard as iron. He swooped down on the soldiers in the guard, and the men took advantage of the wind and the wings borrowed the momentum of the people, and the formation that the soldiers had tried to surround was scattered in an instant. Everywhere the golden wings went, the hard feathers cut the soldiers covered in blood. More than a dozen soldiers were hit by the neck and fell to the ground immediately.

The Golden-Winged Demon King made another leap and dive in the air, and at this time there were not many soldiers left around the emperor, and the captain of the guard had already fallen in a pool of blood. Emperor Li Ci held a long sword in his hand, and saw that the demon king spread his huge wings and was rushing towards him with all his might. He was so eager to avoid it that he had to lift his sword, close his eyes, and said in his heart: "Nima, why is Lao Tzu so unlucky, just came out for a ride, and met you monster!"

When Li Ci was closing his eyes and waiting for death, he suddenly heard a broken shout in the air: "Break the gold potential!" The monster in front of him seemed to scream, and turned his head and flew towards the man. He opened his eyes, and miraculously found that he was still intact. And that golden-winged demon king was fighting with a handsome young man in a green cloth robe......

When Li Ci's life was in danger, it was Xu Ke who saved him with a sword. He didn't like to be lively, but was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a monster flying in the sky, and was called the "Golden-winged Demon King" by the people. The golden-winged demon king was cruel and murderous, and in just an instant, he had already killed dozens of soldiers and civilians with his huge wings. At this time of crisis, how could he stand idly by? In his eagerness, he didn't have time to think about it, and when the devil was concentrating on Emperor Li Xi, he suddenly slashed with his long sword and made a move, "Breaking the gold potential!"

Xu Ke's leg injury was healed at this time, and after taking the long-horned essence element, the inner true yuan was even fuller. Wherever the sword qi went, he only heard a few "snorts", and one of the left wings of the Golden-winged Demon King had already been hit by the sword, and countless feathers fell down one after another......

How many times has the Golden-Winged Demon King suffered such a big loss? He snorted, turned around in the air, and rushed towards Xu Ke again. Xu Ke was not in a hurry, the sword body was horizontal, and he shouted again, "Swing the fire!" The sword qi in the sky was like a fire burning the plain, rising into the sky.

The Golden-Winged Demon King spread his huge wings in the air, and the feathers like steel knives had not yet swept Xu Ke, and suddenly felt a fierce sword aura swept over, and he hurriedly turned over again, which was to be avoided. However, he swooped this time, but he still didn't get any benefits, but Xu Ke cut off a lot of feathers on his back.

The Golden-Winged Demon King always succeeded in sneak attacks, relying on his ability to come and go freely in the air. And every time he dived, he took advantage of the wind, and wherever the pair of golden giant wings went, they were often invincible, and no one could beat their edge. Today, under the coercion of Xu Ke's fierce sword qi, he failed to take any advantage.

Once he meets a master, his ability to fly in the air not only fails to give him much convenience, but becomes a burden.

The Golden-Winged Demon King took off a few more times and turned around, and quickly swooped towards Xu Ke. However, every dive was a feather return, and there were a few times when he failed to restrain his body, but was slashed in the back by Xu Ke's sword qi.

At this time, the back of the Golden-Winged Demon King was already dripping with blood, and a pair of golden-winged wings were not lightly injured, which made him unable to fly quickly. But he refused to admit defeat, and after turning around again, he simply folded his wings and landed on the ground.

After the golden-winged demon king landed and retracted his wings, he didn't know when he had an extra long sword in his hand. I saw that his left hand pointed into a sword and rushed forward, right

The long sword in his hand swung forward diagonally, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, and the shadow of the sword fluttered, stabbing straight towards Xu Ke......

"Sunset!" Xu Ke couldn't help but exclaim. After the person landed, Xu Ke saw the other party's "true face of Lushan" clearly. He could never have imagined that this "Golden-winged Demon King" that flew in the air and terrified hundreds of people inexplicably, was actually the former famous Shaoshan disciple Luoyang! He even wondered if his eyes were dazzling?

At this time, the setting sun, waving a long sword in his hand, has used the stunt "micro swift double flying" in his Shaoshan swordsmanship. I saw that the long sword in his hand, sometimes left and right, seemed to be fast and slow, and in an instant, it had already transformed into a sword shadow in the sky, like an invisible net, which had shrouded Xu Ke in front of him.

"Be careful!" Hu Yiyi, who was behind Xu Ke, couldn't help but exclaim.

However, the sword shadow drawn by the long sword at this time in the setting sun was like a flying canopy fluttering in the wind in Xu Ke's eyes, although it was dazzling, but there was no real place to land. He sneered in his heart, and then the long sword burst out of the air, using the fastest of the five sword moves, "Breaking the Water Potential!"

I saw that Xu Ke's sword qi came out, it was really as fast as the wind and lightning, and that sharp sword qi was simplified, and one move had hit the opponent's vital point. Hearing a "ding" sound, the two swords intersected, but the long sword in Luoyang's hand had been broken into two. The demon king was holding the broken sword in his hand, and the tiger's mouth in his right hand was dripping with blood, and he was stunned on the spot!

"Sunset, how did you become a demon?" asked Xu Ke anxiously. He could have taken advantage of the setting sun to be stunned, and a backhand move to "open the wood" could take the other party's life. But he remembered the demeanor of the young mountain disciple at the demon hunting conference on the shore of Taihu Lake back then, and he really didn't want to believe that this person had become a monster of the demon clan today.

"Everyone, kill the Golden-winged Demon King! Avenge the dead soldiers!" At this moment, someone shouted at some point, and the guards and soldiers on the field all raised their spears and gathered around the setting sun.

The golden-winged demon king lost his sword, and shouted to the sky with an extremely painful expression: "Why! Why can't I win your sword?!" He turned around, and a pair of golden giant wings unfurled, and the sharp feathers cut more than a dozen soldiers who gathered together.

The giant wings of the Golden-winged Demon King waved, and the people had risen to the sky. At this time, there were still a few archers in the guard, and a few feathered arrows "swished" into the air, but they were all dropped by the golden wings. The demon king turned around in the air, and with a flap of his giant wings, he flew away like an eagle falcon in a blink of an eye, leaving only a few shouts, whirling in the air:

"Why? Why can't you stop his sword!"

Xu Ke was not mistaken, the "Golden-winged Demon King" who frightened countless people was the first disciple of Shaoshan who moved the rivers and lakes in the past. The setting sun flickered and moved in the air, constantly leaning down and rushing down, but it failed to get any benefit in Xu Ke's hands. Later, he simply put his heart horizontally and fell to the ground, only relying on swordsmanship to compete with Xu Ke.

As soon as Luoyang Fu landed, he was eager to win, so he used his stunt in Shaoshan swordsmanship, "Micro Swift Double Flying". This sword technique was created by the ancestor of Shaoshan Mountain. At that time, the ancestor of Shaoshan coincided with the drizzle in front of the mountain when he practiced the sword, and there were swallows flying by. At that time, the fingers of the ancestor's left hand were lightly tapped, the internal force condensed through the fingertips, and the sword qi sent out flew vertically and horizontally, and wherever the sword qi went, the flowers and leaves were scattered, like a drizzle in the sky, and the right hand waved the sword horizontally, and the sword shadow was elegant and agile, just like a swallow surrounding, and the moves were extremely graceful but infinitely powerful. Every time the opponent encounters this move, he wants to meet but has no trick to find, and he has nowhere to retreat, and he is often dazzled and dizzy, and he is either dead or injured......

However, the arrogant Luoyang, where could he have thought that although the name of that Shaoshan stunt was fancy, the key to defeating the enemy in the end was not the complexity of the moves, but the sword qi inside. The ancestor of Shaoshan back then, Xiuzhen had entered the realm of transformation, his true yuan ran at will, and the sword qi came out at will, majestic like the sea, endless, how could the opponent resist?

Today's sunset made the Shaoshan stunt, although the moves are extremely complicated, but the true qi has not been successive, just like a good-looking skin, but the inside is empty, yes, under Xu Ke's fierce sword momentum, he has not been able to go through a move......

After the Golden-Winged Demon King was killed and retreated by Xu Ke, all the soldiers stepped forward one after another, lined up in formation, and protected Emperor Li Ci. Sun Shunde, the eldest prime minister, and several ministers next to him hurriedly rushed to Li Xi's side, bowed down to the emperor one after another, and claimed that the guards were derelict in their duties, and they actually disturbed Yunyun with the holy car. Li Ci helped up the ministers one by one, a slight smile appeared on his face, and while waving his hand, he said softly: "I'm fine! Unharmed......! You haven't been hurt, have you?"

Xu Ke saw that the monster had fled and the emperor was well, so he put away the long sword, turned around and pulled Hu Yiyi to leave. Suddenly, behind him, Li Xi shouted eagerly: "Strong man...... Please stay!"

Xu Ke and Hu Yiyi glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had to turn around and saw that Li Ci had hurried towards him. He knew that the man was an emperor after all, so he had to bow to Li Xi and salute because of etiquette:

"Grass people Xu Ke, see the emperor!"

Li Qi hurriedly stepped forward and held Xu Ke's hands, no longer letting him salute. He looked Xu Ke up and down carefully, and said with a smile:

"You...... Is it Xu Ke and Xu Wuxi?"
