Chapter 278 Battle of the Forbidden City

Lin Pingzhi saw that the weapons beside each corpse had rusted, and knew that this was caused by age. He did not know the identity of the person who died in this cave.

The dark cave was a bit difficult to see, so Lin Pingzhi had to exit and make a torch before re-entering.

Seeing the dirty words left by the elders of the Sun Moon Sect on the cave wall and their disdain for the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Lin Pingzhi was furious.

Holding back the anger in his heart, he looked at the moves and sword techniques and the way to break them described behind. Lin Pingzhi hesitated, a little panicked, and didn't know what to do.

"Huashan Sword Technique has really been cracked!" Lin Pingzhi's knowledge of martial arts is still too shallow and he doesn't know the so-called sword technique is dead and people are alive.

Lin Pingzhi thought of his senior brother Zhu Xiao who was not far away, and quickly ran out of the cave entrance and rushed towards Zhu Xiao's location, shouting as he ran.

"Senior Brother, something big happened. I found it in the cave..."

As soon as Lin Pingzhi said his first words, Zhu Xiao appeared in front of Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi wiped his eyes in disbelief. He didn't find out how his senior brother appeared, but he still told Zhu Xiao the big secret he discovered.

"The swordsmanship of the Five Mountains has been cracked!" Zhu Xiao took over what Lin Pingzhi said and looked at Lin Pingzhi who looked anxious with a calm expression. The reactions and expressions of the two people were in sharp contrast.

"Yes, Senior Brother, do you know?" Lin Pingzhi looked at Zhu Xiao with curiosity. You must know that this cave has just been opened. Zhu Xiao must have never entered it before, so how could he know the situation inside.

"It's not a big deal. There are no perfect moves in the world. It's not a big deal if the sword technique is broken. Since they can break it, isn't it okay if you break their moves?"

Zhu Xiao did not answer Lin Pingzhi's question, but explained the matter of the Five Mountains Sword Technique being cracked in an understatement.

"But?" Lin Pingzhi was still puzzled and flustered. How could his senior brother remain indifferent to his sect's swordsmanship being cracked?

"Don't worry, just think about how your Yunqing swordsmanship may be able to deal with these crooked moves and you'll understand!"

Zhu Xiao was helpless. Lin Pingzhi was still too young at this time, and his view of things was too shallow. He couldn't calm down when things happened and needed to be tempered.

Lin Pingzhi scratched his head. There was no way to break the Yunqing sword technique on the cave wall, but it didn't matter if the other Huashan sword techniques were broken.

"I let you in to let you absorb the essence of the moves and enrich your knowledge. In order to make your swordsmanship further, you don't need to think about other things. Master and I will handle it!"

Zhu Xiao had no choice but to explain to Lin Pingzhi again.

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, he put his heart back in his stomach and walked towards the cave again, preparing to carefully observe the swordsmanship on the cave wall.

Zhu Xiao shook his head. He was still a child and needed time to grow up. It seemed that he still had to leave some trump cards for Huashan.

In the blink of an eye, the weather turns cooler and winter enters. The entire Huashan Mountain is covered in silver, which is particularly enchanting.

"Big brother! Big brother!"

Yue Lingshan, who was wearing a white fox fur, ran towards Siguo Cliff with excitement on her face. Before she arrived, a sound as clear as a silver bell floated from a distance.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Xiao was drinking tea in the house when he heard Yue Lingshan's excited voice and had to walk out of the room to greet Yue Lingshan.

"Elder brother, something big has happened in the world. Dad asked me to inform you!"

Yue Lingshan panted slightly and exhaled a long white breath.

Yue Lingshan steadied her breathing, with a look of shock and excitement still on her face, before she continued.

"Ye Gucheng asked Ximen Chuixue to have a sword duel in the Forbidden City, and both of them have already reached the level of Grand Master!"

There was surprise in Yue Lingshan's voice. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are both the most famous swordsmen of the younger generation, but now they have both broken through to the Grand Master level, and they have also agreed to have a sword duel in the Forbidden City. There is no more exciting news in the world than this. The whole world was ignited by this news.

The Grand Master was originally the top figure in the world. He was aloof and could be said to be the idol in the hearts of almost every martial artist. He rarely showed his face, but this time Ye Gucheng challenged Ximen Chuixue, and the two Grand Master swordsmen had a duel. Next, this is definitely a grand event in the world. All sects and warriors rushed to the capital in order to witness this rare martial arts event that has not happened in a century.

"Both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue have broken through to the Grand Master level?"

Zhu Xiao looked at Yue Lingshan with great confusion, and was a little puzzled. Originally, in his speculation, the winner of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue would only take the opportunity to break through to the Grand Master after the decisive battle, but he did not expect that he would break through now.

"Yes, they all released the news, saying that they are already great masters!" Yue Lingshan knew what Zhu Xiao was wondering about. She was particularly shocked when she heard the news for the first time. Her father had just broken through to become a great master. However, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, who are both in their twenties, have already reached the level of Grand Master, shocking the entire world and sighing at the talent of the two. Stunning.

"Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship and people are cold, but now he has made a breakthrough. It seems that he met someone who made him emotional. He changed from a ruthless sword to a sentimental sword. The yin and yang are in harmony. This is how he can break through to the grand master realm so quickly. !”

Zhu Xiao thought of the relationship between Sun Xiuqing and Ximen Chuixue in the original work. It seems that the events of the Jinpeng Dynasty prompted the two to meet. Although Dugu Yihe never died under Ximen Chuixue's sword in this life, the two still fell in love. The sparks really make people sigh at the wonder of fate.

"As for Ye Gucheng, this man was originally a high-ranking swordsman. He was spotless, far away from the world of mortals, and his mind was spotless. Now he has broken through to the realm of a great master, which means that he has discovered the difference between immortals and mortals. From immortals to mortals, he has entered the world of mortals. , only then can one break through to the Grand Master realm!"

Zhu Xiao speculated on the reason for the breakthrough between the two, and his heart moved. It seemed that Ye Gucheng was involved in the battle for the throne of the Ming Dynasty. The prince of Nanping and Zhu Houzhao had the same appearance, so he became rebellious and wanted to replace him. Ye Gucheng is the master of Prince Nanping and the core figure in this rebellion plan. It seems that he needs to go to the capital.

"Junior sister, go back and tell Master that I have gone to the capital. This decisive battle is a big whirlpool. Others in the Huashan faction should not get involved in it. We will talk about everything after I come back!"

Zhu Xiao gave Yue Lingshan instructions and disappeared at the top of Siguo Cliff, without giving Yue Lingshan a chance to speak.

"Eldest brother is so annoying. I also wanted to go to the capital to watch the duel between the two great masters, but he actually left me alone and ran away!"

Yue Lingshan looked at the empty top of the mountain and couldn't help but stamp her feet, pouting her little mouth and complaining to Zhu Xiao.

Yue Lingshan thought of something else, and walked towards Lin Pingzhi's cave with a shy look on her face.
