Chapter 43
They set off at dawn.
They ran for half a day without stopping.
Under Li Xuan's orders, the diplomatic mission found a place that could both attack and defend. They temporarily settled down and rested for a short period of time.
Beside the carriage.
Li Xuan did not eat anything. He only drank a few mouthfuls of water.
With his current cultivation, not eating for a month was a small matter!
In front of Li Xuan.
After consuming the Vermilion Fruit, Chang Ping's strength had increased to the fifth level of the Grandmaster realm, as well as Xu Ji, who was only one step away from entering the Grandmaster realm, served him.
As for Fairy Ni and Lady Jia, they followed and protected the diplomatic mission and did not come over.
"This king will take the lead for the rest of the journey!”
With a calm gaze, Li Xuan glanced at Chang Ping and Xu Ji and said,
"This king's carriage will be at the front.”
Shua Shua--
Hearing Li Xuan's words.
Chang Ping and Xu Ji's gazes were both stunned as they looked at Li Xuan.
Chang Ping, who was an attendant eunuch, was still fine.
However, after being stunned for a moment, he did not say anything else.
However, Xu Ji, who was beside him, was different. He opened his mouth to remonstrate,
"Your Highness, you can't do this! If it was as his highness had said, this trip would be fraught with danger. His highness 'formation was too dangerous. No, absolutely not!”
Li Xuan looked at Xu Ji calmly.
However, this time, Xu Ji, who was usually very afraid of Li Xuan, did not retreat. On the contrary, he had a serious expression on his face.
Xu Ji spoke again,
"Your Highness, if you run into danger and the soldiers don't come to your rescue in time, you might get injured or…we will die for it! Your Highness, you really can't do this, you can't do this!”
He saw Xu Ji, who looked like he was going to die to remonstrate.
Li Xuan reached out and patted Xu Ji's gaze.
"This king knows in his heart, you don't need to worry so much, just listen to my orders!”
Xu Ji's expression became excited again.
"Your Highness…"
Pa da.
Li Xuan closed his folding fan and casually said,
"This king has never taken his life as a joke. This matter has been decided. There's no need to say anything else.”
Hearing Li Xuan's unconventional words...
Xu Ji subconsciously wanted to retort.
However, Li Xuan raised his hand and interrupted him.
His ears twitched, and Li Xuan listened carefully.
A voice entered his ears.
Da da!
The chaotic sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and it was coming from afar. The target was clear as day.
Very quickly.
Li Xuan was not the only one who sensed it. In the diplomatic group, there were still Grandmasters from the Hundred Cavalry Division protecting them. The problem was not very big. Li Xuan sensed it, and the others also vaguely sensed it.
Li Xuan noticed that there were Grandmaster Realm experts from the Hundred Cavalry Division who had left the diplomatic mission one after another.
There was naturally no need to say what he was going to do.
He stood up.
Li Xuan's eyes flickered.
"Assassins are coming. The Grandmaster Realm experts of the Hundred Cavalry Division are going to fight the enemy!”
Xu Ji was suddenly shocked.
" A grandmaster assassin?!"
What did it mean for a grandmaster level protector of the Hundred Cavalry Division to go up against the enemy?
The Assassins.
They were all Grandmasters at the start!
" We've just left Xianyang and haven't even left Great Qin yet, and there are already Grandmaster Assassins. If we leave Great Qin…"
With a solemn gaze, Xu Ji's expression turned bitter."
"Doesn't that mean that great grandmasters will come in droves? There might even be experts in the integration of Heaven and man realm coming?”
Was this something that the diplomatic corps could handle?
Although he had been reminded by Li Xuan.
However, Xu Ji had never expected that it would be so dangerous this time.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Seeing Xu Ji's expression, Li Xuan smiled slightly.
"He's only at the Zongshi realm. Your courage still needs to be tempered!”
Taking a step forward, Li Xuan walked casually.
Chang Ping and Xu Ji followed.
It was different from Xu Ji's worry.
At this moment, when the Assassin attacked, Li Xuan's emotions calmed down.
He casually said,
"Father and the First Emperor plotted together. Great Sui's foundation was heavily damaged and the foundation of Great Han was destroyed. It would be strange if they didn't take action against such a huge loss! This was only the beginning. There were more dangers ahead.”
Hearing this.
The corners of Xu Ji's mouth twitched, and he could not help but ask,
"Then why did Your Highness return to the Great Tang at this time?”
He smiled.
Li Xuan said,
"Because this king doesn't want to stay. If I want to leave, no one can stop me! " Don't worry about it. You just need to deal with everything in the diplomatic mission. Since I dare to bring the diplomatic mission back to Chang 'an, I naturally have the confidence to go back alive!”
Li Xuan had a strong sense of confidence.
It seemed that Li Xuan's confidence in treating the upcoming crisis as if it was nothing had infected Xu Ji, causing his restless heart to gradually calm down, and his expression to calm down.
Pa, pa, pa--
Patting Xu Ji's shoulder, Li Xuan said,
"Pass down the order. When the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division return, we will set off again. The diplomatic mission only needs to move forward! Since the assassins were coming, then let them come!”
Xu Ji cupped his hands and said,"
"Here!"
After saying that.
Xu Ji went down to pass down the order.
"Changping, drive the car later and walk at the front. Don't make any mistakes!”
Chang Ping replied,"
"Here!"
Not long after.
The few people from the Hundred Cavalry Division who had gone to kill him had returned. They were covered in blood. Although their auras were fluctuating, they were not injured.
After they returned.
The entire diplomatic group started to move forward again, heading towards the border of the Qin Dynasty.
However, this time, Li Xuan's carriage was at the front, followed by the soldiers guarding the diplomatic mission.
They advanced again.
Less than thirty miles away.
When Chang Ping drove the car and ran wildly-
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A total of three True Qi with the realm of a Great Grandmaster broke through the air, leaving behind three afterimages in the air. They made a turn in the air and shot into Li Xuan's carriage from three directions.
The speed of those three arrows was so fast that Chang Ping was unable to react in time.
Pu pu pu--
The arrow pierced through the wood and made a soft sound.
"Your Highness!"
Chang Ping was shocked and exclaimed,"
"Are you alright?"
Swoosh--
Without waiting for Chang Ping to ask more questions or for him to stop the carriage, the sound of a rushing wind rang out.
Immediately after, a figure carrying a long saber, a longbow, and an arrow flew over from the front. His body was enveloped in the True Qi barrier of a martial grandmaster, which could block any arrow or hidden weapon. Only a martial grandmaster could break through it!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another three arrows flew over from different angles. Before anyone could react, they shot into the carriage.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows shot into the carriage.
After nine arrows.
Choke--
He unsheathed his saber.
This masked Great Grandmaster, who was holding a longbow and carrying a long saber on his back, directly charged at Li Xuan's carriage. He circulated his True Qi and slashed at it.
When the grandmaster made his move, true qi filled the air, and the concept followed.
It caused traces of Qi to sweep out, startling the horses and messing up the thousand-man army of the diplomatic mission.
Just as the entire diplomatic mission was about to be disrupted.
Clang--
A crisp sword hum sounded.
Like a breeze supporting a willow, it directly destroyed the miracle caused by this great grandmaster. It calmed all the horses of the diplomatic mission and stabilized the thousand-man army formation of the diplomatic mission.
"Die."
The cold voice sounded like a judgment.
As Li Xuan's words fell, an incomparably terrifying sword intent circulated, forming an invisible sword qi that filled the sky. In an instant, it directly broke through the protective True Qi of this Great Grandmaster Assassin.
Bang!
With the sound of his body exploding, the body of this grandmaster assassin was instantly torn apart. Then, it was blown to the sides of the road by a powerful sword wind. It could not even affect the progress of the diplomatic mission.
He was nowhere to be seen.
He had killed a grandmaster assassin.
Everyone in the diplomatic mission was shocked by what they saw.
Someone murmured in a daze,"
"He killed a martial grandmaster without leaving the carriage…Hiss!”
"His Highness the King of Qin's strength should be at the Great Grandmaster Realm!”
"The mighty Qin King!"
"The mighty Qin King!"
“……”
The soldiers shouted the might of the King of Qin, and the crowd was extremely excited.
Even Xu Ji and the other civil and military officials were acting like this.
At this moment, Li Xuan's voice sounded,
"Don't stop. Continue on your way. Just move forward!”
Everyone replied in unison,"
"Here!"
Then, the entire diplomatic mission began to move forward again.
However, this time, everyone's expressions were slightly relaxed.
The king of Qin was a great grandmaster.
Even if they were completely annihilated here, Qin Wang would definitely be able to escape!
As long as Qin Wang could escape, it would be enough.
It was unknown what Xu Ji and the others, as well as the other soldiers, were thinking.
At this moment, in the carriage.
Li Xuan glanced at the nine arrows in front of him that had obviously been poisoned.
He played with it for a while.
"Your archery skills are not bad, but your cultivation is a little lacking!”
Li Xuan casually commented on the first level Great Grandmaster assassin who had attacked him just now. Li Xuan did not care.
It was very rare for a Great Grandmaster to have such exquisite archery skills.
What a pity-
The other party was an assassin. Otherwise, Li Xuan would have wanted to make him his own.
He would not do anything benevolent.
The other party wanted to kill him.
It was impossible for Li Xuan to let him off!
……
The diplomatic mission continued to advance.
Ever since the first wave of assassins attacked, it was like a signal for the beginning.
In the next few days.
The assassins arrived in batches after batches.
Even Li Xuan had already attacked several times in a row.
Even Fairy Ni and Lady A.
They had already come to protect the diplomatic mission and no longer went to intercept the assassins in the distance.
There were simply too many assassins attacking.
At night, beside the bonfire.
Li Xuan sat on a mink fur, looking at the roasted meat and drinking wine.
A gentle breeze blew.
With the Dragon Abyss Sword on his back, his long hair was casually scattered behind him. The flames reflected on Li Xuan's face, giving him a hint of charm.
In this situation, Li Xuan was really a handsome and carefree man.
Everyone who saw it exclaimed,
What an immortal young master!
"Humph…"
Suddenly, Li Xuan snorted and laughed.
It attracted the attention of Xu Ji, Fairy Ni, and Lady A.
Looking at the confident figure, the three of them felt admiration in their hearts.
This included Fairy Ni and Lady A.
Although Li Xuan's realm seemed to be at the Grandmaster Realm...
However, in fact, he had killed several martial grandmasters in succession. As long as he had the ability to kill a martial grandmaster, he would no longer be able to treat Li Xuan as a small martial grandmaster.
It was a martial grandmaster!
"Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"
Xu Ji pondered for a moment before asking.
He took a sip of wine.
Li Xuan had a smug smile on his face.
"Those people were able to get so many grandmasters and great grandmasters to attack and kill me. I'm afraid they have scattered billions of wealth. Billions of wealth to buy this king's head, it can be considered a good story!”
Hearing Li Xuan's words.
The people around the bonfire looked at each other.
This was the first time he had heard of someone being happy because their head was valuable!
He did not care about Xu Ji and the others 'thoughts. In any case, Li Xuan was a little smug.
The sum of his past and present lives.
Li Xuan did not even realize that his head was actually so valuable.
To be honest-
If he hadn't been the one killed, perhaps even the most revered King of Qin of the Great Tang would have wanted to take action.
Billions of wealth!
Other than the Great Sui and the Great Han Dynasty, who else could have such great ability?
Perhaps there were other forces involved.
However, to Li Xuan-
The most dangerous ones were still the Great Sui and the Great Han!
He pondered for a while.
Li Xuan directly asked,
"How far is it from Qin Guan?”
Hearing the question.
Xu Ji swallowed a mouthful of roasted meat and said,"
"Your Highness, we can leave Qin Pass tomorrow!”
He paused for a moment.
Xu Ji asked with some difficulty,
"After leaving Qin Pass, we can only pass through the frontier fortress of the Central Plains…At that time, the diplomatic mission will probably have to face…the army!”
The border armies of the four dynasties of the Central Plains.
They would always be the most terrifying army in the world!
With the small number of people in the diplomatic mission.
If they encountered a large number of border guards, other than the true experts, the others would not be able to survive.
If there were experts mixed into the border troops…
Then, everyone could suffer.
Hearing Xu Ji's words.
Li Xuan nodded his head.
"You're right…If we meet the border troops, it won't be good! Even if we did, their numbers wouldn't exceed twenty thousand…A mere twenty thousand border troops is nothing to be afraid of!”
Xu Ji didn't quite understand.
However, Li Xuan did not explain to him. He only had a calm expression.
The journey that had taken more than a month.
He directly let the diplomatic mission finish it in a few days.
It was enough to prove how fast the diplomatic mission was this time.
There was a price to pay for being fast.
Apart from Li Xuan and the other two Great Grandmasters, even the ten Grandmaster guards of the Hundred Cavalry Division were already tired.
Not to mention the others.
Tonight's rest was for the entire night.
As for the people guarding the night, it was Li Xuan and the other two grandmasters.
After all, their spirit and aura were at their peak.
After fighting for the past few days, they had definitely consumed a lot of energy. However, be it the diplomatic mission, Fairy Ni, Lady Jia, or Li Xuan, the momentum in their bodies was at its peak, and their combat strength was increasing!
This was a burst of energy.
His power declined, and he could not get it.
His power had declined.
The danger level of this return journey would increase exponentially.
……
The next morning.
When the sunrise the east, the diplomatic group had already set off. They were advancing towards Qin Guan at a moderate speed.
They had just walked a few miles.
A figure blocked the diplomatic mission's path.
There was no Hui Shi who had his face covered.
Just like that, he stood in the middle of the road with his sword horizontally and blocked the path of the diplomatic mission with a very powerful attitude.
At the same time, it also blocked in front of Li Xuan's carriage.
He came out of the carriage.
Li Xuan's gaze was filled with interest as he looked at Hui Shi, who was blocking his way.
After sizing up the other party for a while.
Then, he asked,
"Ninth stage Great Grandmaster realm, and you've even touched the bottleneck of the integration of Heaven and man realm…You shouldn't have come here!”
Hearing Li Xuan's words.
Hui Shi looked at him and also sized up Li Xuan.
Then, he said,
"The Dragon Abyss Sword Master, the King of Qin of the Great Tang, Li Xuan…is an expert, but that's all! Let me ask you, did you have enough to eat and drink last night?”
He smiled and nodded.
Li Xuan did not seem to feel the killing intent on Hui Shi's body.
"I'm full and drunk. I slept even more comfortably! And then? What do you want?"
Swoosh--
Clang!
He spun the Hui Shi Demon Sword in his hand, and a bloody wind swept up. There was a pale red sword light circulating on the demon sword.
Hui Shi looked at Li Xuan with a demonic gaze.
"I don't have any enmity with you, but someone is willing to pay to sell your head! It's a price that I can't refuse, and you also make me curious.”
Their gazes met.
Hui Shi looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword floating beside Li Xuan and licked his lips.
"The Dragon Abyss Sword, the fifth sword on the World Famous Sword Ranking, has disappeared from the martial world for a long time. Now that it has reappeared, I'm naturally interested in it…Many people are interested in it!”
He smiled.
Li Xuan looked at Hui Shi curiously.
"Are you that confident that you can kill me?”
Buzz!
Scarlet true energy rose.
A strange and evil feeling burst out from Hui Shi's body. It was accompanied by a monstrous murderous aura that made people's hearts turn cold.
Some horses retreated restlessly, while some soldiers gulped nervously and broke out in cold sweat.
Even Fairy Ni and Lady A, who had already arrived, had solemn expressions.
This Hui Shi had already touched something about the integration of Heaven and man.
Their strength was naturally not something that the eighth stage Great Grandmaster realm Fairy Ni and the ninth stage Great Grandmaster realm Lady Jia could compare to.
This was definitely after they left Xianyang.
He was the most powerful enemy.
"Your Highness, let's join forces!"
Feeling immense pressure, Fairy Ni said with a serious expression,
"This person is too strong…and the feeling he gives off is too strange.”
Lady A didn't say anything.
However, taking a step forward and standing beside Li Xuan was enough to show her attitude.
He looked at Hui Shi with a burning gaze.
Li Xuan said,
"He has a demon sword in his hand! Now, the demon sword had already backfired on its master! This fellow has achieved a different kind of human-sword unity with the demon sword, so he naturally looks very strange…You are not his match!”
Swoosh--
He took a step forward.
Li Xuan's figure had already arrived in front of the carriage in an instant.
He said loudly,
"All of you, retreat. This king wants to fight him alone!”
