For thousands of years, there is one place that has been a symbol of secular imperial power, both inside and outside the rivers and lakes, and its name is the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City is not because it is purple, but because it is derived from the theory of the stars, and originally only emperors could live here, so it is the most heavily guarded place in the world. Many chivalrous people like to go to this kind of place to pretend to be forced to show their superior martial arts. Being able to step on the head of Emperor Lao Tzu is not enough to pull the wind?

There was a famous drama in history that happened on the roof of the Forbidden City, which was a duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Fuxue when they were young. Now that time has passed, the protagonists of that duel have all been in different situations, Ye Gucheng, who was supposed to die, became the emperor, Lu Xiaofeng, who was originally alive, was seriously injured and did not recover, and Ximen Blowing Snow, who became a sword god in the future, has been defeated.

In the era of the great rivers and lakes, everyone cannot control their original destiny. Now the last battle of the undefeated challenge to the imperial court in the East will also take place here, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

However, Dongfang, who set foot in the Forbidden City, is undefeated, but he is very confident.

During this period of time, she has swept the rivers and lakes strongly, stepped on the ten major sects, and she has seen seven or eight out of ten masters in the world. has fought with sweeping monks, Zhang Sanfeng and other masters, and she is still invincible in the world. Now as long as you step through the Forbidden City, the big task of smiling proud rivers and lakes is over!

Unlike the legend, the roofs of the Forbidden City are not spacious, and there are not many places to stay. And it has a large slope, perhaps stepped on by too many admiring players, and the tiles on it have long been no longer solid, and if you are not careful, you will step on a big hole. So the real decisive battle is not on the rooftops, but in a square in the Forbidden City.

The square is very large, but when Dongfang Undefeated came here through the many Beijing Towers and all living beings, he found that there was only one person here.

This person is Ye Gucheng!

He didn't have any weapons with him, but he was standing in a corner of the square in a white shirt, looking at the sky with his head half-tilted! Proud, cold, and lonely, if the whole square is the sky, then Ye Gucheng is the only white cloud in this sky-

The Legend of the Red Tassel -

In Ye Gucheng's eyes, the clouds above the capital were not white clouds, it always had some other things in it, and he didn't like it very much. In the past, he had a city called Baiyun City, which was located on the top of a high mountain, an extremely cold place, and the ice and snow did not melt 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 immaculate, and his swordsmanship is also flawless and immaculate.

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains!

Baiyun City and Ye Gucheng, this combination itself is a poem in the history of martial arts. It was its lonely cold that created his peerless swordsmanship, and the two were inseparable. He is now an emperor, but he can't linger in the red dust like a real emperor. So some people say that Ye Gucheng can't be the emperor of the world for the rest of his life, he can only be the emperor of swordsmanship.

Looking at Ye Gucheng, who was so arrogant, Dongfang Undefeated did not habitually stand on the highest place and look down on everything as usual, but fell directly to the opposite side of Ye Gucheng. The two are separated by a distance of more than ten meters, and this is a game of king against king. For them, the distance of more than ten meters is just a flash. If you want to get your hands dirty, it's a distance that is enough to decide the winner or loser.

"White Cloud City Lord, I'm here!"

She didn't say "Emperor", but called "Lord of Baiyun City". This is a very quaint title, and she knows that Ye Gucheng likes such a title.

Sure enough, Ye Gucheng smiled, he retracted his gaze, and lifted the forty-five degree pretending state. Then he turned his head to look at Dongfang Undefeated, and said indifferently: "The Dongfang Sect Master came at the right time!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

"Looks like you're confident!"

Dongfang was undefeated, and he could see Ye Gucheng's calm.

Ye Gucheng said with a smile: "The Eastern Sect Leader is joking, have you ever seen a time when Ye Mou had no confidence?" ”

Dongfang Undefeated was stunned for a moment when he heard this, suddenly let out a long laugh, leaned on his sleeves and half-turned around, and said loudly: "Very good!" Sure enough, it is worthy of Ye Gucheng, or as conceited as the legend! This sect leader is looking forward to it, can you still draw your sword? Her gaze flickered over 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, and his whole body was still full of that unique pride and conceit.

Dongfang was undefeated, but he took a step diagonally and said loudly: "There is no sword in your hand, but there is a sword in your heart!" You have lost your hands, but you have taken your martial arts to the next level. It's really commendable! But when she said this, she shook her head again and said, "But the realm without a sword is not the highest realm of swordsmanship, and such a Baiyun City Lord is still not the opponent of this sect master." You can ask someone else to come out! I know that Dugu's predecessors have always been there. Didn't he want to be defeated? The Master will give him a satisfactory answer! ”

Ye Gucheng glanced at Dongfang Undefeated quite meaningfully, sighed for a long time, and said slowly: "Challenging others in front of me, this may be the sect leader's psychological tactics...... To tell the truth, if I had heard the sect leader's words before, I would have immediately drawn my sword and fought you to the death, and I would never let anyone else participate! ”

"Oh, and what about now?"

"Now I've changed that mind!" , Ye Gucheng actually replied like this.

Dongfang Undefeated's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said after a while: "Because you are not the previous Ye Gucheng, you are still the emperor!" ”

Ye Gucheng laughed loudly: "What the Eastern Sect Master said is right! I'm no longer the Ye Gucheng I used to be. I've changed! In addition to being the Lord of Baiyun City, I am also the current emperor. Maybe I don't have the same part of my heart anymore...... Even when he heard the sect leader's provocation, he could accept it calmly. ”

A look of disappointment flashed across Dongfang's undefeated face. Rao is she covered it up well, Ye Gucheng still saw it. He smiled slightly and said, "The sect leader must be very disappointed. ”

"No, I've seen too many opponents, and everyone in the era of the big rivers and lakes will change. Loneliness and pride can also change", Dongfang Undefeated said lightly, but her disappointment seemed to be acquiesced in her tone. Yes, a Ye Gucheng who is no longer lonely and proud, is it still the previous Ye Gucheng? Can you still use that flawless and unsullied flying immortal?

This was originally one of the expectations of the undefeated East for the final battle, but now it seems that it is not visible. That Ye Gucheng laughed, and only stopped after a while, and said, "Ye Gucheng must be the lonely Ye Gucheng?" I don't think so! It is true that during this period of time, I became the emperor, and my heart and my sword were also entangled by many things. I don't have the loneliness and arrogance I used to have, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Because I have a lot of friends. Just when the sect leader came, I suddenly realized that I was no longer the person I used to be alone in Baiyun City and watch the clouds in the sky. Someone once said to me that I now have a large number of people eating with me, which is both power and responsibility. ”

Dongfang Undefeated showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said after a long time: "Can you say such a thing, is it the hard-working Ah Fei?" ”

Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the sect leader was also familiar with Ah Fei's kid. That's right, the prototype of this sentence is exactly what he said, but the word 'responsibility' is my own understanding. ”

"With the shackles of responsibility, Ye Gucheng is not the Ye Gucheng of the past. Just like Simon Blowing Snow back then, he has a family, and his swordsmanship is no longer pure. Then your swordsmanship is still there? Dongfang Undefeated said coldly.

"My swordsmanship is flawless, and with responsibility, it will only become stronger! There is nothing in this world more powerful than the duty of guardianship! ”

Ye Gucheng's words made Dongfang Undefeated stunned.

Martial arts have reached the point where she is so clear, but she can actually see through any state of mind. But Ye Gucheng actually said these words, but she didn't expect it. Ye Gucheng, who is no longer lonely but still proud, and has the responsibility of guardianship, made her feel a great threat at this moment.

She thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Then please make a move!" I'm looking forward to it!"

Ye Gucheng nodded and said, "I have never learned the art of the emperor. However, the martial arts and principles in the world are all the same. If you can control the sword, you will be able to control the art of power, and you and I will be able to control the battle of you and me today. ”

After saying that, he waved his sleeves slightly, and a door next to him creaked open. An old man dressed in gray slowly walked out of it. The man was plainly dressed, but his figure was extremely tall, and he walked with great strides. Dongfang Undefeated had never seen him, but at the first glance, she knew who the other party was.

That's the sword demon Dugu seeking defeat!

Recognized as the first master of swordsmanship in the era of the great rivers and lakes, he is an extremely awesome legendary figure. Now the first swordsmanship in the rivers and lakes, Dugu Nine Swords, was made by him, and Yang Guo's Xuantie Sword was also one of his former weapons, which was later decomposed into the Dragon Slayer Knife and the Heavenly Sword, which became eternal in the world. Even if he has a pet eagle, he can be invincible in the world, which shows the power of this person.

Although he didn't carry any weapons, his whole person was an extremely sharp weapon. His eyes were like electricity, penetrating the undefeated heart of the East. Rao is Dongfang is undefeated with such martial arts, and at this moment, there is even a feeling of hair!

Only the top masters can give her this kind of pressure, and Dugu is stronger than any of the top masters he has ever seen!

Everyone in the world said that Yan Maniac was the first person after Dongfang Undefeated, Sweeping Monk and Zhang Sanfeng, but Dongfang Undefeated only knew that this was fake at this time. Yan Maniac is probably not the opponent of Dugu Qiu, Dugu is the one closest to the three of them.

Looking at Dugu who was faintly standing with Ye Gucheng, Dongfang Undefeated couldn't help but take a deep breath, Ye Gucheng and Dugu were defeated, this is her goal today!

Her palms were slightly wrong, and they turned into white jade, shining brightly, and then she said slowly: "Dongfang is undefeated, today I will challenge Dugu's predecessor, the Baiyun City Lord!" She shouted it out with internal force, and the entire Forbidden City shook slightly.

But Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have to introduce other people to you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another person appeared in front of the gate of the Forbidden City.

Dongfang Undefeated glanced at the man and frowned suddenly.

"Yang Guo?" (To be continued.) )
