The news that Li Xiaotian's 3,000 elite cavalrymen returned to Yuchuan County could not be concealed. Du Mengyan dispatched dozens of outer disciples stationed in Zhongdu to keep an eye on the developments of all parties.

Although many secret information cannot be obtained in time, it is completely sufficient to find out some major events and ordinary news.

On the tenth day of June, the army entered the banks of Sanchuan River and built a pontoon bridge.

The last time Lu Chengfeng killed three generations of the Li family in Yudai River, they felt the pain deeply, and since then they have been extra wary of places with water.

Li Xiaotian sent soldiers to build a pontoon bridge and had scouts to investigate the surroundings and report any unusual movements immediately.

At the same time, he sent a direct order to the Sky Patrol Department, requiring all residents of the towns near Yulong Mountain not to enter the mountain, let alone build houses for the bandits or serve as servants. Anyone who dared to disobey would be punished with their entire family and killed without mercy.

As soon as this order was issued, all the people who had gone up the mountain to work in exchange for money were frightened. It was fine that those people on the mountain couldn't get the news, but their families at the foot of the mountain were like ants on a hot pan, terrified.

However, Du Mengyan had already anticipated this incident and had blocked all channels of information transmission between the mountain and the countryside in advance, requiring that within one month, all servants and craftsmen on the mountain were not allowed to return home to visit their families or go down the mountain to make purchases.

Yulong Mountain is majestic and steep, as if there is a jade dragon hovering on a giant pillar. It is steep and tall. There is only one dangerous path leading up the mountain, and other than that, there are cliffs all around.

Du Mengyan had already arranged for people to store enough food and supplies, and then blocked the main roads with huge rocks. Unless they were people with great martial arts skills, it would be difficult for ordinary people to pass through.

In this way, the news between the mountain and the people below would be cut off, so as not to cause unrest among the craftsmen and servants on the mountain.

But if this continues, something bad will inevitably happen.

At this moment, Lu Chengfeng came down Yulong Mountain leisurely, but this time, he changed his face to Zhao Tianyou.

Zhao Tianyou is in his early forties, with a sturdy build, bronze complexion, messy long hair, and a decadent aura all over his body.

At this time, Lu Chengfeng changed into a set of soft armor, carried a sword on his waist, held an iron spear in his hand, rode a white horse, and slowly headed towards the banks of the Sanchuan River, where Li Xiaotian was stationed.

At this moment, he was riding a white horse, holding an iron spear, with his long hair loose, and he naturally had a rough and tough aura, like a veteran of the battlefield, with a calm demeanor and an indescribable charm.

The scouts sent by Li Xiaotian discovered his presence from a distance. After being surprised and confused, they quickly passed the news back.

"You said you found Zhao Tianyou?" Li Xiaotian frowned as he looked at the scout who came to report. "Did you see clearly, is it really him? How many other people are there with him?"

The scout replied, "Your Excellency, we only found Zhao Tianyou, and no one else was with him. As for whether it was really Zhao Tianyou, I dare not confirm it."

Li Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Continue to inquire and expand the search range to see if there are ambushes following Zhao Tianyou."

He didn't believe at all that Zhao Tianyou would come alone, and knew there must be something fishy going on.

After the scouts withdrew, he immediately called his personal soldiers and said, "Pass my military order immediately. Everyone must gather urgently and follow me to meet the enemy."

"Yes, sir." The guard saluted and immediately retreated.

Half an hour later, three thousand cavalrymen gathered, accompanied by five thousand auxiliary troops, who were used to build bridges, clear roads, transport food and fodder, and build camps.

At this time, eight thousand troops gathered together, with flags covering the sky, spears standing in rows, iron armor on display, and a murderous aura rising straight into the sky.

Li Xiaotian was wearing armor, holding a steel knife, and looking far away at the other side of the river.

The river where he was stationed was not wide and the water was not deep. Not to mention martial arts masters, even ordinary people who were familiar with water would find it difficult to drown.

He was very cautious on this trip, fearing that he might be plotted against.

However, the news that followed from the subsequent waves of scouts was beyond his expectations.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, Zhao Tianyou is alone, riding alone, ten miles away from here."

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, we have carefully searched the area behind Zhao Tianyou and the area to his left and right for dozens of miles, and there are no ambushes."

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the appearance of this person matches Zhao Tianyou completely. After multiple confirmations, it is undoubtedly this person."

……

Li Xiaotian frowned, not sure what the other party was up to. But now he had three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry, a total of eight thousand troops gathered here.

Even if a half-step celestial being forced to fight and refused to retreat, he would die of exhaustion in the midst of thousands of troops, let alone a mere Zhao Tianyou?

He suppressed his hesitation and said in a deep voice, "Keep exploring. Send out all the scouts. Don't miss any place where an ambush can be made."

"Pass on my military order. The army will not cross the river for the time being."

……

Just as Li Xiaotian was on full alert, Du Mengyan, Du Xiaoyue and Tan Xiong all gathered on the top of Yulong Mountain, looking down into the distance.

From where they were standing, if their eyesight was good enough, they could clearly see Li Xiaotian's army and the Sanchuan River.

"Senior Sister, are we really going to let Junior Brother Lu face Li Xiaotian's army alone?" Du Xiaoyue felt a chill in her heart as she looked at the densely packed army along the mountains and rivers.

Warriors are also flesh and blood, and will also be exhausted. Even a second-rate master can only defeat a hundred people, and once faced with an army wearing armor and forming a battle formation, he will have to retreat.

As for first-rate masters who have mastered the true meaning of martial arts, they can move freely among thousands of troops, but if they want to confront an army of thousands of people head-on, they will only end up dead.

The most important thing is, if there are experts in the army, they can entangle the enemy and once they are surrounded by the army, they will be unable to escape.

Only a master who has reached the half-step heavenly realm can single-handedly defeat an army of thousands. This has been the case throughout history.

Therefore, those bandits often hide in mountains, forests and lakes, making it difficult for large armies to encircle and suppress them, and they can only be hunted down by a few experts.

Now Lu Chengfeng went to the Sanchuan River alone, which seemed like he was seeking his own death.

Tan Xiong was also very puzzled. He said in a heavy tone, "Even if Junior Brother Lu has mastered the sword spirit, he can't be Li Xiaotian's opponent, not to mention that the other side has nearly 10,000 troops, including 3,000 elite cavalry."

"With such a large battle, even the top masters would flee at the sight of it, so how could he resist it?"

"We have finally found a new way out for our sect, why should we let him take such a risk?"

"Even if he has to go, the four of us can help him if we join forces. Why should we let him die alone?"

There was some anger in his words.

Du Mengyan has always been quiet and gentle, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, but at this moment she couldn't help but curse Lu Chengfeng in her heart.

"You want to be in the limelight, but you don't explain clearly to these two young fools. You let me be scolded by them here. It's really infuriating!" Last night, Lu Chengfeng suddenly came to find me.

Du Mengyan originally thought that he had something important to discuss, but she didn't expect Lu Chengfeng to say that he wanted to kill Li Xiaotian by himself.

Of course she couldn't agree to it and refused it sternly.

But I didn’t expect this guy...

She still feels frightened when she thinks of what happened that night.

"Senior Sister, how about we exchange a few moves?" Lu Chengfeng said calmly with a smile on his face.

Du Mengyan was originally somewhat dissatisfied with him for suddenly cutting off a strand of her hair that day, and she didn't think that the other party could be better than her. After all, Lu Chengfeng was too young, and even if he had cultivated the sword intent, it would not be possible to be profound.

She only felt that the guy was able to succeed that day because he caught her off guard and took advantage of her unpreparedness.

Now that Lu Chengfeng had taken the initiative to propose it, it could be said that it was exactly what she wanted, so she agreed immediately and wanted to teach him a lesson to let him know who was the senior sister.

"Please make the first move, Senior Sister!" Lu Chengfeng was standing in a forest. They were halfway up the mountain. Unlike the icy and snowy top of the mountain, it was summer here and the trees were dense and lush.

"Junior brother, be careful!"

Du Mengyan was determined to regain her lost face, so she didn't hesitate and with a clang, the Xuanyang ancient sword was unsheathed.

This magical weapon has gone through hundreds of years, but it is still as sharp as a red rainbow, glowing with rosy light. Its sharpness is so sharp that it can even make people's pupils feel a sting.

The divine weapon is forged by heaven!
Du Mengyan held the magic weapon in her hand, and was able to escape unscathed even when facing top masters. When she drew the sword from its sheath, it was as if a ray of red light appeared in the dark night.

hum!
The sword light tore through the darkness, and its extremely terrifying edge even cut off the night wind.

She performed the Yi Mu Tong Tian Sword Sutra, and the moment she drew her sword, thunder exploded above the nine heavens and a strong wind swept through, making the surrounding trees rustle and branches sway violently.

Even if Li Xiaotian was in front of him, he could only avoid the sword temporarily.

The sword is like rosy clouds, and the power is like wind and thunder!
Du Mengyan's attainments in the Yi Mu Tong Tian Sword Scripture have truly reached the pinnacle, and are in no way inferior to those of the elders in the sect.

With the blessing of the magic weapon, he was like a sword immortal descending to the earth, sharp and unstoppable.

However, when the sword was halfway through, Du Mengyan's body froze.

Lu Chengfeng appeared beside her at some point, and his fingers, still warm in the night, rested on her shoulders.

"Senior Sister, your sword is too slow!"

"This is impossible!" Du Mengyan could hardly believe her eyes. She didn't even see how the other person appeared beside her.

"Then, let's do it again!" Lu Chengfeng smiled and stepped back.

This time, Du Mengyan was fully focused, the Yi Mu Qi circulated to the extreme in her body, her six senses could see all around, and with a delicate shout, the sword light rushed up, as if a rainbow light had torn through the night sky.

She did not hold back at all, and at that moment she brought her swordsmanship to an unprecedented peak. She could even clearly feel the sword blade tearing through the strong wind and generating thunder.

This time Lu Chengfeng did not disappear. He just stood there. At the moment when the sword light came, he slightly turned his body and accurately avoided the Xuanyang Divine Sword.

Then a hand was placed on Du Mengyan's palm slowly but quickly.

"Let go!"

Du Mengyan's body felt as if struck by lightning, and her palms were completely numb. Before she could react, the Xuanyang Divine Sword had already fallen into Lu Chengfeng's hands.

He stroked the sword obsessively, the rays of light on it rippling like water waves, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is truly a peerless divine weapon, a great sword! A great sword!"

Du Mengyan was devastated. From the time she started practicing martial arts when she was young until now, she had never suffered such a miserable defeat, and she was defeated by a young man who was even younger than her.

She bit her lip and said, "I have another sword move. If you can block it, I will obey you."

……

Du Mengyan didn't want to think about what happened afterwards. Everything that happened that night almost completely destroyed her faith and almost caused her sword heart to collapse.

The most important thing is, that damn man, he...he actually dared...dared to molest me...

Du Mengyan felt lost and angry. She didn't want to experience that kind of complicated mood again in her life.

She didn't even want to think about what happened afterwards, wishing she could forget it from her memory forever.

But the blazing fire, the exquisite swordsmanship, and... the handsome man in the moonlight, were like a brand, forever engraved in her heart with that sword.

If...if it wasn't for that slap...

Thinking of this, she could hardly hide her shame and anger!
Hearing Du Xiaoyue and Tan Xiong's questioning, Du Mengyan came back to her senses with a cold face and said in a stiff tone: "He can't die. Even if we all die, he can't die."

"What's more, I will lend him the Xuanyang Sword temporarily. If he is really defeated, he can use the sword to protect himself and retreat back to the mountain."

Du Xiaoyue and Tan Xiong felt relieved after hearing this. Only then did they realize that the Xuanyang ancient sword that Du Mengyan had always carried with her was no longer behind her. It was just that their attention had been focused on the foot of the mountain and they had not noticed it.

"Lu Chengfeng, you'd better come back alive!"

Du Mengyan herself didn't know what her mentality was, and she actually took the initiative to give the sword to that man today.

"I... only want this for my master!"

She murmured, but her pupils suddenly shrank.

At some point, a man and a horse appeared on the banks of the Sanchuan River.

On one side was an army of eight thousand strong, with heavy armor on their shoulders, spears and halberds pointing high into the sky, and flags covering the sky.

One side is alone!
The water of Sanchuan River flows endlessly, but it is not wide enough or deep enough to bury eight thousand soldiers.

Du Mengyan's heart suddenly tightened. She stared at the man's figure closely, feeling unprecedentedly nervous. Her palms were sweating unconsciously, but she was completely unaware.

"You, must stay alive!"
