Sikong Zhaixing was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Seeing that he could not be reasoned with, he began to scream at the people watching under the Forbidden City.

However, Zen Master Dabei, who was the notary just now, couldn't help but put his hands together and persuaded: "Donor, you are indeed a bit messy. According to your promise just now, Sikong Zhaixing won this competition."

"Oh? Since there is a dispute, how about handing over this treasure map to Zen Master Dabei?" Li Xiao sneered at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes, there was a faint red light flickering in his right hand, and the shadow of the Fire Lin Sword flickered, as if

It's like a powerful sword energy can be chopped at any time.

Seeing this, Zen Master Dabei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, lowered his head knowingly, raised his palms on one hand, and kept twisting the beads with the other hand, and recited the Buddhist scriptures intently, as if he was not listening to what was going on outside the window.

The expressions of the others were generally the same, they all selectively ignored this matter, as if they heard nothing and saw nothing.

After all, just now, the scene where Li Xiao crushed Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng with his powerful Fire Lin Sword Qi is still vivid in his mind. Even if Zen Master Dabei and Taoist Mu join forces, they are not sure.

Defeat the opponent.

In this world where the strong are respected, only the strong can have the absolute right to speak.

What's more, Sikong Zhaixing often "patronizes" major sects such as Shaolin Temple and Wudang, so of course they don't need to stand up for Sikong Zhaixing.

…

"Hurry up and catch the thief who broke into the palace."

"Manager Wang just said that whoever brings this thief to justice will be rewarded based on his merits and will be promoted to a higher position!"

Sikong Zhaixing was about to continue arguing with Li Xiao, but suddenly there were shouts in his ears. Turning his head, he could see a group of imperial guards holding torches high on the long street below the city tower.

They gathered around.

Li Xiao seizes the time, scans the Lingjin treasure map in his hand, and imprints the map route in his mind. In the blink of an eye, he immediately throws it to Sikong Zhaixing.

Sikong Zhaixing was dazed. He saw something thrown at him from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously caught it. When he lowered his head, he saw that the treasure map had fallen into his hand again. This scene happened to be seen by the Ouchi guards.

At that time, he was really mute and couldn't tell the story of his pain while eating Coptis chinensis.

"Damn it, I'll definitely come back again." Sikong Zhaixing said this with a grimace, then hurriedly picked up his Qinggong skills and ran away in dejection.

…

Looking at Sikong Zhaixing's retreating figure, Li Xiao felt slightly apologetic.

After all, he not only dug this hole for himself, but also asked him to help him take the blame.

However, this was what he had to do. After all, in order to complete the second task issued by the system, he had to obtain the treasure map from the palace, and things like stealing treasures and finding objects were of course not something Sikong Zhaixing could do.

It's very light, that's why we came up with this strategy.

A group of imperial guards went to hunt down Sikong Zhaixing.

And with the end of the battle in the Forbidden City, many onlookers had already dispersed and left, and the originally bustling city tower and alleyways suddenly became much deserted.

Li Xiao looked around and saw that the four-eyebrowed Lu Xiaofeng had left at some point. His first mission was to conquer him, but it seemed that this mission could only be postponed temporarily. Li Xiao would not worry about not finding this guy.

, after all, Lu Xiaofeng is as good as the Wannian elementary school detective from the island country. Cases will usually happen wherever they go...

On the Meridian Gate Tower, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were injured to varying degrees after the battle, and they were adjusting their breathing to recuperate.

Li Xiao stepped lightly on the tiles, walked straight over, and finally stood in front of Ye Gucheng. Ye Gucheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Xiao with an expression of awe.

.

Li Xiao pointed at the sword Feihong beside Ye Gucheng and said concisely and concisely: "I want to take this sword away."

"good."

Ye Gucheng was not surprised at all. After uttering a word, he pulled out the Feihong Sword that had been buried in the tiles and handed it to Li Xiao with both hands.

Li Xiao took the Feihong Sword, stretched out two fingers, and brushed them against the shiny silver sword. A coolness penetrated into his skin, bringing a slight chill. This Feihong Sword is from overseas.

Forged from the spirit of iron, it has a blow-haired sword with a three-foot-three blade and a net weight of six kilograms and four taels. In the world of Gu Long, it is already one of the top famous swords!

After putting away the Feihong Sword, Li Xiao turned and left, then paused. He slowly raised his head and looked at the vast starry sky, where a huge silver disk hung in the sky.

The cold moonlight fell on this high place, a vast expanse of white, giving a faint feeling of desolation and loneliness.

"Whether it is swordsmanship or martial arts, after reaching a certain level, just like the cold moonlight, there will be loneliness and desolation in the heart, but bottlenecks are often opportunities. Perhaps after surviving this cold moonlight, we will welcome

What is coming will be warm sunshine.”

After saying this, Li Xiao stepped on his toes and disappeared into the night sky like a nighthawk.

"Warm sunshine?"

Hearing this, Ye Gucheng's expression perked up and he murmured something. He also raised his head to look at the moonlight, his thoughts gradually tangled up. After a long time, a faint smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned his head and said to Ximen Chuixue: "

Brother Ximen, it seems that we still have a long way to go in terms of swordsmanship in the future."

Ximen Chuixue nodded with deep understanding. His cold eyes were full of fiery hope.

It can be said that Li Xiao's appearance rekindled their new pursuit and hope for kendo.

…

It’s noon on the day after half a month.

In a desert in northern China, the sun was like fire, the scorching air seemed to have been burned, and not a ray of wind blew.

Li Xiao turned over from the camel, wiped the dense sweat on his forehead, looked at the five jagged hills standing in front of him, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "I want to find a place in this damn desert.

It’s not an easy place to live in.”

According to the description in his mind and the treasure map that Sikong Zhaixing stole from the palace as a clue, it took him half a month to finally find this place.

Stepping on the hot sand and pulling away the weeds, Li Xiao came to the foot of the third stone hill. After tapping around the stone wall with his fingers for a while, he finally found the hollow. He took a few steps back and poured his innate energy into his arms.

He struck out suddenly, and with a roar, Li Xiao's iron fist directly defeated the thin layer of stone wall, revealing a black hole.
