For thousands of years, no matter inside or outside the world, there is a place that has always been a symbol of secular imperial power, and its name is the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is not because it is purple, but because it comes from the theory of stars. Originally, only emperors could live here, so this is the most tightly guarded place in the world. Many knights like to go to places like this to show off their superior martial arts skills. Being able to step on the emperor's head, isn't that cool enough? There was a famous drama in history that took place on the roof of the Forbidden City. It was a duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue when they were young. Now that time has passed, the protagonists of that duel are all in different situations. Ye Gucheng, who was supposed to be dead, has become the emperor, Lu Xiaofeng, who was originally alive and kicking, is seriously injured and has not recovered, and Ximen Chuixue, who will become the sword god of the area in the future, has been broken. Jianghu. In the era of great rivers and lakes, everyone cannot control their original destiny. Now Dongfang Invincible's final battle to challenge the imperial court will also take place here, and no one knows what the outcome will be. However, Dongfang Bubai, who set foot in the Forbidden City, was very confident. During this period of time, she has vigorously swept through the world, stepped into the ten sects, and has seen seven out of ten masters in the world. She has fought against the sweeping monk, Zhang Sanfeng and other masters, but she is still the invincible Dongfang Bubai. Now as long as you step through the Forbidden City, your big mission of being proud of the world will be over! Unlike the legend, the roof of the Forbidden City is actually not spacious and there are not many places to stay. Moreover, it has a large slope. Perhaps it has been stepped on by too many players who came here for its reputation. The tiles on it are no longer strong, and you will step on a big hole if you are not careful. So the real decisive battle was not on the rooftop, but in a square in the Forbidden City. The square is very big, but when Dongfang Bubai passed through many Beijing towers and countless living beings to get here, he found that there was only one person here. This person is Ye Gucheng! He didn¡¯t bring any weapons, he was just standing in the corner of the square wearing a white shirt, looking up at the sky! Proud, cold, and lonely, if the entire square is the sky, then Ye Gucheng is the only white cloud in the sky - "Hongying Ji" - In Ye Gucheng's eyes, the clouds over the capital are not white clouds, there are always some other things. There are things in it that he doesn't like very much. He once had a city called Baiyun City, which was located on the top of a high mountain in an extremely cold place where the ice and snow never melted all year round. Just as lonely as its owner. Ye Gucheng's favorite thing is to stand at the highest point in the city and look up at the white clouds in the sky. The white clouds there are flawless, and his sword skills are also flawless. Far above the Yellow River among the white clouds, there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain! Baiyuncheng and Ye Gucheng, this combination itself is a poem in the history of martial arts. It was its loneliness that created his peerless swordsmanship. The two were originally indistinguishable. He is now an emperor, but he cannot hang out in the world like a real emperor. So some people say that Ye Gucheng will never be an emperor in the human world, he can only be an emperor with swordsmanship. Looking at Ye Gucheng who was so aloof, Dongfang Bubai did not stand on the highest place and look down at everything as usual, but fell directly opposite Ye Gucheng. The two of them were more than ten meters apart. This was a king versus king match. To them, the distance of more than ten meters passed by in a blink of an eye. If you want to take action, this is a distance that is enough to decide the outcome. "Lord of Baiyun City, I'm here!" She didn't say "Your Majesty", but "Lord of Baiyun City". This is a very quaint title, and she knows that Ye Gucheng likes this kind of title. Sure enough, Ye Gucheng smiled. He withdrew his gaze and released the forty-fifth degree of pretentiousness. Then he turned to look at Dongfang Bubai and said calmly: "Master Dongfang came at the right time! I have been waiting for you for a long time!" "It seems that you are very confident!" Dongfang Bubai could see Ye Gucheng's calmness. Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "Master Dongfang is joking, have you ever seen Ye when he didn't have confidence?" Dongfang Bubai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then suddenly laughed, held up his sleeves and half-turned, and said loudly : "Very good! As expected of Ye Gucheng, he is still as arrogant as the legend says! This leader is looking forward to it, can you still draw the sword?" Her eyes turned to Ye Gucheng's empty sleeves. "I don't need to draw my sword, my sword is in my heart!" Ye Gucheng raised his chin slightly, his whole body still filled with that unique pride and arrogance. Dongfang Bubai took a step sideways and said loudly: "There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart! You lost both hands, but you made your martial arts a step further. It's really commendable!" But at this point she shook her head again, Said: "But the realm of swordlessness is not the highest realm of swordsmanship. Such Lord Baiyun is still not the leader of this sect."??opponent. You can ask someone else to come out! I know that Senior Dugu is always here. Didn't he want to be defeated? This leader will give him a satisfactory answer! " Ye Gucheng glanced at Dongfang Bubai meaningfully, sighed for a long time, and said slowly: "Challenging others in front of me may be the leader's psychological tactic To be honest, if In the past, when I heard these words from the leader, I would immediately draw my sword and fight you to the death, and I would never let anyone else participate! " "Oh, what about now? " "Now I have changed my mind! ", Ye Gucheng actually answered like this. Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while he said: "Because you are no longer the Ye Gucheng before, you are still the emperor! " Ye Gucheng laughed loudly and said: "The leader of Dongfang is right! I am no longer the Ye Gucheng I used to be. I have changed! In addition to being the Lord of Baiyun City, I am also the current emperor. Maybe I don't have the same thing in my heart anymore Even when I hear the leader's provocation, I can still accept it calmly. " Disappointment flashed across Dongfang Bubai's face. Even though she hid it well, Ye Gucheng still saw it. He smiled slightly and said: "The leader must be very disappointed. " "It's hard to talk about it. I have seen too many opponents. Everyone in the era of big rivers and lakes will change. Loneliness and pride can also be changed," Dongfang Bubai said lightly, but his tone seemed to acquiesce to her disappointment. Yes, is a Ye Gucheng who is no longer lonely and proud still the same Ye Gucheng as before? Can he still use that flawless spirit? Wu Gu's flying immortal? This was originally one of Dongfang Bubai's expectations for the final battle, but now it seems that he can't see it. But Ye Gucheng laughed and stopped after a while, saying: "Is Ye Gucheng necessarily a lonely Ye Gucheng? I don¡¯t think so! It is true that during this period of time when I became the emperor, my heart and my sword were hampered by many things and many people. I no longer feel lonely and arrogant as before, but I find that this is not a bad thing. Because I have a lot of friends. Just when the leader came, I suddenly realized that I was no longer the me who was alone in Baiyun City watching the clouds in the sky. Someone once said to me that I now have a large number of people following me for a living. This is both a right and a responsibility. " Dongfang Bubai showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and after a long time he said: "The one who can say such words is the miserable Ah Fei? Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect the leader to be very familiar with that kid A Fei." Yes, the prototype of this sentence is exactly what he said. It is just the word "responsibility", but I realized it myself. " "With the burden of responsibility, Ye Gucheng is no longer the same Ye Gucheng as before. Just like Ximen Chuixue back then, when he had a family, his swordsmanship was no longer pure. So your swordsmanship is still there? " Dongfang Bubai said coldly. "My sword skills are flawless. With responsibility, it will only become more powerful! In this world, nothing is more powerful than the responsibility of guardianship! "Ye Gucheng's words made Dongfang Bubai stunned. When her martial arts reached her level, she could actually see through any mood. But Ye Gucheng actually said these words, which made her also start to Unexpectedly. Ye Gucheng, who was no longer lonely but still proud and had the responsibility of protecting, made her feel a great threat at this moment. She thought for a while and suddenly said: "Then please take action! I'm looking forward to it!" Ye Gucheng nodded and said, "I have never learned the art of the emperor. However, martial arts and principles are all the same in the world. If you can control the sword, you can control the power and the battle between you and me today. " After saying that, he waved his sleeves gently, and a door next to him opened with a creak. An old man in gray clothes slowly walked out of it. The man was dressed in simple clothes, but he was extremely tall, and he walked with a meteoric stride. Hubu. Dongfang Bubai had never seen him before, but she knew who he was at the first glance. It was the sword demon Dugu Qiubai, the recognized master of swordsmanship in the Jianghu era, and an extremely awesome legend. . It was he who created the Dugu Nine Swords, the number one swordsman in the world. Yang Guo's Black Iron Sword was also one of his weapons. It was later broken down into the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Yitian Sword, which were passed down to the world and became eternal. A pet eagle can actually be invincible in the world. This shows how powerful this man is. Although he does not carry any weapons, his whole body is an extremely sharp weapon, his eyes are like lightning, and he can see through the east. In the bottom of Bubai's heart. Even with Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills, she felt a hair-raising sensation at this moment! Only a top master could give her this kind of pressure, and Dugu Qiubai was stronger than any top master he had ever seen. ! Everyone said that Yan Kuangtu was the best person after Dongfang Bubai, Sweeping Monk and Zhang Sanfeng, but only now did Dongfang Bubai realize that this was false.?I'm afraid he is not Dugu Qiubei's opponent yet. Dugu Qiubei is the one closest to the three of them. Looking at Dugu Qiubei, who was faintly standing with Ye Gucheng, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but take a deep breath. Ye Gucheng and Dugu Qiubei, this is her goal today! Her palms made a slight mistake, and they turned into white jade, shining brightly, and then she slowly said: "Dongfang Bubai, today I challenge Senior Dugu, the Lord of Baiyun City!" She shouted it out with her inner strength, and the entire Forbidden City They all vibrate slightly. But Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will introduce others to you!" As soon as he finished speaking, another person appeared in front of the gate of the Forbidden City. Dongfang Bubai glanced at the man and suddenly frowned. "Yang Guo?" (To be continued.)
