Volume 1, Chapter 148: Number One in the World

After a while, a middle-aged man with long hair and wearing a robe with purple flame patterns walked out from the distant mountains and forests. He had a handsome face and bright eyes. Although he was alone, he was surrounded by a mysterious fire and had an extraordinary aura.

He nodded gently to the bandit, and then his whole body moved without wind, and the air around him seemed to be distorted. The next moment, he slowly floated up, and then without stepping on the iron chain bridge, he flew straight towards the Longtou Mountain opposite.

The bandit shouted immediately: "Master of Ziyan Cave, Gong Yuyan is here~!"

Following closely behind, a group of seven people dressed in white robes, holding willow-leaf swords, lined up in an orderly row and walked slowly towards them.

The seven people were all young men under the age of 30. They slowly walked to the iron chain bridge and ran towards Longtou Mountain without any hesitation.

That’s right, they were running on the iron chain bridge. A group of seven people went up one after another, and their feet ran quickly on the iron chain bridge as if they were walking on flat ground.

Moreover, the strong wind made the iron chains sway, but these seven people were not affected at all. Their steps were not flustered and they still maintained the same rhythm. No matter how strong the wind was, it could not do anything to them.

The bandit guarding the bridge watched them leave, secretly envious, and then shouted loudly: "The Seven Swordsmen of Qiyao Villa, all of them are here~!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of imperial soldiers suddenly emerged from the distant mountains and forests. Leading them was none other than Zhou Xin, the ancient king of Liao, one of the eighteen rebel kings!

He led his army to the iron chain bridge, looked at Longtou Mountain opposite with a gloomy face, and cursed in a deep voice: "What the hell is this? I came all the way here, and this is how She Tianlong entertains me?"

Then Zhou Xin pointed at the bandit next to him and shouted, "Call your leader out to see me!"

The bandit rolled his eyes at him, then pointed at the iron chain bridge and said, "Our leader has already prepared a banquet on Longtou Mountain. King Liaogu can go there on his own."

Zhou Xin's expression changed, and he pointed at the iron chain bridge and shouted, "What are you doing? Is this a place where people can pass through? If you want to have a party, just have a party. Why are you doing all this fancy stuff?"

The bandit was not afraid at all. Instead, he retorted, "Our leader said that if we can't even cross this iron chain bridge, there is no need to attend this banquet. Please go back!"

"You!" Zhou Xin was furious, but he was proud of his status and felt that there was no need to get entangled with this small fry, so he walked closer to the iron chain bridge to take a look.

With just one glance, Zhou Xin's face turned extremely pale. If he fell from the high cliff, he would definitely be crushed to pieces. There was a strong wind on the cable bridge. For an ordinary person like him, it would be extremely difficult to walk across!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from behind Zhou Xin, and he lost his balance and almost fell off the cliff. After recovering, he immediately retreated to the back, then cursed with a red face: "Okay, okay, She Tianlong, you are so good, let's go!"

Zhou Xin left cursing. Originally, as a small rebel king, although he had 180,000 soldiers under his command, he had always been the one with the weakest voice among the eastern rebel kings of the Great Sun Dynasty.

Even the Murong family didn't think highly of him!

Just when he was weak and had no way out, he received an invitation from She Tianlong, the leader of the Broken Dragon Gang. He immediately ran over with a large number of his trusted followers, wanting to form an alliance with She Tianlong and work together to fight against the court.

However, he didn't expect that after he arrived and lived in the Broken Dragon Gang for a week, he didn't even see She Tianlong. Today, at the banquet, he encountered such a situation again. No matter how good Zhou Xin's temper was or how weak his power was, he didn't want to stay in the Broken Dragon Gang any longer.

As he walked, he cursed: "Bandits are bandits. They have no heart at all. They can't be great if they do such things. I don't want to associate with them!"

The bandit guarding the bridge also muttered disdainfully: "It's just trash, why are you pretending to be so great?"

Just at this time, a strong wind suddenly blew on Duanlong Mountain, and there were no bamboos on the top of the mountain. However, at this time, a large number of emerald green bamboo leaves were floating all over the mountain!

The bamboo leaves were blown all the way to Longtou Mountain by the strong wind, and the iron chain bridge was rustling, as if it was about to break.

The next moment, a black figure flew out, stepping lightly on the bamboo leaves in the air, and in just three breaths, it reached Longtou Mountain from the dragon's body!

The figure that landed on the ground was a graceful woman with a black hat on her head, a black veil covering her face, and two short swords on her waist.

The bandit guarding the bridge opened his mouth wide when he saw this figure, and rubbed his eyes in a hurry. After seeing who it was, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and he shouted: "The world's fastest swordsman, Shangguan Xiuzhu, has arrived!"

Inside the Longtou Mountain banquet hall, She Tianlong was having a polite chat with Blood Hand Iron Shan, Master Xuanming, Gong Yuyan, and the seven sword heirs of Qiyao Villa.

I was stunned when I heard this message. That legendary swordsman Shangguan Xiuzhu?

The others were also stunned, and then they all looked up to She Tianlong.

Gong Yuyan bowed and said calmly: "I didn't expect that Gang Leader She could actually invite Shangguan Xiuzhu to come to help. In this case, why should we be afraid of the imperial army?"

Blood Hand Iron Fan also said: "We are ashamed. The little Kung Fu we have is not even one-third of his opponent's. Since Gang Leader She has this person, why did he invite us over? Isn't this just making fun of us?"

Master Xuanming also nodded and said in a deep voice: "With this person here, we are only asking for trouble. Since Gang Leader She has made all the preparations, I will take my leave first!"

The others were also ready to say goodbye and leave after hearing this, but She Tianlong was frightened and quickly blocked everyone's way, crying out: "This person has never appeared in the martial arts world since the battle in the capital, and we can't even find her. How can I, the leader of the gang, invite such a big shot as her? You really misunderstood me!"

After these words came out, everyone's expression eased a little. She Tianlong hurriedly said: "Now she came uninvited, and I don't know if she is good or evil. If she is evil, you all have to help me!"

Hearing this, Blood Hand Iron Fan chuckled and said, "It has long been rumored in the martial arts world that Shangguan Xiuzhu was drugged by the current emperor and finally escaped with the help of the wall. In this case, he must hate the emperor to the core. He came here today, perhaps to borrow the power of Gang Leader She to eliminate the emperor together!"

She Tianlong was delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "If this is true, then this is a great joyous event!"

Shangguan Xiuzhu walked slowly and soon came to an antique building. He frowned slightly and then slowly took out the two swords from his waist!

There was a flash of cold light, and the tightly closed door in front instantly broke into hundreds of pieces, then exploded inside, revealing She Tianlong and others who were frightened in the building.

The person who came was not friendly. When She Tianlong saw who was coming, his face turned pale. The joy he had just felt was swept away. He shouted, "Shangguan Xiuzhu, the Broken Dragon Gang is not a place where you can act wild!"

She Tianlong was so angry. He had just finished chatting with these friends in the martial arts world and was about to go out to meet Shangguan Xiuzhu, but the next moment even the door was chopped down. How could he not be angry?

At She Tianlong's command, a large group of bandits armed with swords and knives rushed out from the inner courtyard and surrounded Shangguan Xiuzhu.

Shangguan Xiuzhu seemed to ignore these people and continued to walk slowly into the banquet hall. Everyone watched her quietly, wanting to see what she was trying to do!

Shangguan Xiuzhu came to the banquet and chose a seat to sit down. Then he put away his sword and said slowly, "I just came here to have a meal. There is nothing else to do."

She Tianlong was sweating on his forehead. Facing the top master with the fastest sword in the world, the pressure was enormous!

Although he could rely on the men in the Broken Dragon Gang to surround the enemy tightly, he could not guarantee that he could survive under Shangguan Xiuzhu's double swords before being surrounded!

This is a person who can take the head of anyone present at any time, and no one dares not to take her seriously.

She Tianlong's face turned extremely ugly. He certainly didn't want to become an enemy with Shangguan Xiuzhu, so he said, "It's fine that you came uninvited, and I can ignore it, but why did you break down the gate of our gang!"

"It's just a broken door. I'll chop it down if I want. What do you want?" Shangguan Xiuzhu was extremely strong. As soon as she said this, a breeze burst out from her body and blew on the people around her, making them involuntarily step back a few steps. They were all frightened and afraid that the other party would take action.

Gong Yuyan, who was standing by, was startled and asked in a trembling voice, "This is the release of true energy. Could it be that you have become a master of internal martial arts?"

Shangguan Xiuzhu did not say anything, choosing to remain silent. He just picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then sipped it slowly.

Silence is better than words at this moment, and people around took a deep breath. The superb martial arts moves, coupled with the profound internal strength, complement each other, and the strength will increase several times!

After hearing this, She Tianlong felt uneasy. He doubted whether these bandit troops from his Duanlong Gang could do anything to Shangguan Xiuzhu!

The scene was deadlocked and fell into silence. She Tianlong didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

At this moment, the leader of the Poison Scorpion Sect, the Fat Scorpion Camel, rushed in in a hurry. Before he even arrived, he could already hear the curse: "Iron Shanzi, come out! I will break your legs today!"

Blood Hand Iron Shan had long been unable to stand this awkward and depressing atmosphere. The arrival of Scorpion Fat Camel was like giving him a way out. He immediately waved his hands and said, "Humph, this hall master is not afraid of you. Let's go out and compete!"

Then Blood Hand Iron Fan took two steps at a time and planned to rush out of the banquet hall. She Tianlong would never miss such a good opportunity. He immediately waved his hands to let his men retreat, then rushed forward and said with a smile: "You two are my brothers. Please give me a favor today. We can talk about everything later. Harmony brings wealth!"

Scorpion Fat Camel was the one who was wronged, so how could he give up? You know, after he fell off the cliff, if he hadn't been so good at light work and used the method of unloading force to keep moving and land on the giant tree, he would have no chance of survival!

But even if he is not injured now, he is still very scared!

As they are both leaders of a sect, how can they be weaker in momentum and suffer the same injustice? They are not from a famous and upright sect, so they will not make high-sounding words.
