Sword Immortal Hu Di was Lu Xihua's trusted aide. Around 12 years ago, Sword Immortal Hu Di had just become a spirit sword wielder. Who knows where he heard that Lu Xihua had relied on Guhan to become the chairman of the Sword Council. The young and frivolous Hu Di actually challenged Lu Xihua to a duel.
Of course, Sword Immortal Hu Di requested that Lu Xihua not use Immortal sword wielder swordwomen. At the same time, Sword Immortal Hu Di was limited to 1 million quarks.
Originally, Lu Xihua had no interest in such a boring challenge. However, Lu Xihua was in a bad mood and drank quite a bit. In the end, he accepted Sword Immortal Hu Di's challenge. With just three strikes, he defeated Sword Immortal Hu Di. From then on, Sword Immortal Hu Di was completely convinced of Lu Xihua's strength. He became one of Lu Xihua's most capable right-hand men. Later on, he even became an Immortal sword wielder.
So when Lu Xihua heard that Sword Immortal Hu Di was still here, he immediately felt relieved. He took the initiative to find Sword Immortal Hu Di, hoping that he could help him find the Twelve Winged Angel Sword.
Next, Lu Xihua simply told Sword Immortal Hu Di about how he was framed by Ying Zheng, how he was saved by Ming Yuan Jiandi, and how he was resurrected.
However, Lu Xihua hid Guhan's existence. He only said that he had recuperated in Ming Yuan City for five years and only returned after his body had fully recovered.
"Lu Yin, that bastard! He lied to me and said that he received your last words. He wanted me to do my best to help him. Otherwise, why would I work for him?!" Sword Immortal Hu Di immediately stomped his feet in anger after hearing Lu Xihua's explanation.
This also explained why Sword Immortal Hu Di would work for Ying Zheng.
"Boss, don't worry. I know where the Twelve Winged Angel Sword is." Sure enough, after hearing Lu Xihua's goal, Sword Immortal Hu Di immediately patted his chest.
"Good!" Lu Xihua's face revealed an excited expression.
Under Sword Immortal Hu Di's guidance, the two smoothly traversed through Flowing Time City. Finally, they arrived at a small, hidden door.
"This place was originally used by the Liu Nian Family to store their valuables. Later on, Frost and Jiandi took all of their valuables away. Ying Zheng decided to use this place to store the Natural Sword Maidens he obtained from the eight base cities!"
At the same time, he used his own password to open the door to the warehouse. Lu Xihua followed Sword Immortal Hu Di into the warehouse.
"Why is it so dark here?
Hudi, turn on the light! "
Lu Xihua, who had just entered the warehouse, noticed that it was unusually dark. It was so dark that he could not even see his own fingers.
"My apologies … Lord Lucihua!"
Sword Immortal Hu Di's voice suddenly sounded like he was gnashing his teeth. Lu Xihua immediately knew that something was amiss. She immediately opened a void door and prepared to leave, but she was ultimately too late. Lu Xihua felt the world spin around her as though her entire body was being disintegrated. When she saw light again, she realized that she was already in a mountain valley.
"This is a brand new dimensional rift!"
Lu Xihua sensed the space around her and was shocked to discover that she had actually arrived in a brand new dimensional rift. This dimensional rift was completely different from the Flowing Time rift, and it was a dimensional rift that did not exist in human records.
"Hu Di, you actually used a quantum teleportation array to ambush me!"
When Lu Xihua discovered that this was a brand new dimensional rift, she immediately shouted angrily at her surroundings.
"Lord Xihua is indeed impressive. You reacted immediately."
Sword Immortal Hu Di slowly flew in front of Lu Xihua and looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Hu Di, you actually betrayed me! You ungrateful scum!" Lu Xihua said through gritted teeth when she saw Sword Immortal Hu Di appear.
This was because, following the appearance of Sword Immortal Hu Di, four other immortal sword wielders appeared in four other directions. These five people surrounded Lu Xihua tightly, not giving him any chance of escape.
Lu Xihua did not attempt to escape through the void door because she knew that this was a dimensional rift. Although she could use the void door in a dimensional rift, the void door's range was limited to the dimensional rift … In other words, Lu Xihua could only use the void door to move around in this narrow dimensional rift … There was no way for her to escape through the dimensional rift.
"Master Xi Hua, you're wrong. I didn't lie to you. This is where the Natural Sword Lady is kept. The Natural Sword Lady is right there!" Hu Di pointed at a thatched hut on a hill not far away and said.
Without another word, Lu Xihua appeared next to the thatched hut in the next second.
In the end, Lu Xihua's expression changed. She could already sense that the thatched hut was not a real thatched hut, but a dimensional pocket that had changed its appearance. This meant that unless the owner of the dimensional pocket opened it, the Natural Sword Lady in the pocket would not be released. She could not defeat these immortal sword wielders by obtaining the Twelve-Winged Angel Sword and ascending to the throne.
"Hu Di, you are getting bolder and bolder. You actually dared to attack me.
Don't forget, I am still the chairman of the Sword Committee. My term is not over yet. That Ying Zheng is just a bastard who did not go through the proper legal procedures, "Lu Xihua said fiercely as she looked at Hu Di.
Hu Di sighed and said, "Master Xi Hua, I respect you for being my former leader. We don't want to do anything to you. Hand over your Sword Lady, and I will hand you over to His Majesty. Before that, I can guarantee your safety!"
"Haha, I should have known. Since Ying Zheng arranged for you to be in the Fleeting Time Gap, it means that Ying Zheng has absolute trust in you. How could you still be my right-hand man?
I was too stupid. I could not see through such a simple human heart! "Lu Xihua sighed and said with some grief and indignation," People's hearts will eventually change! "
"Lord Xihua, you are wrong again. My heart has never changed from beginning to end!"
What Lu Xihua did not expect was that Hu Di's next words would give Lu Xihua a huge blow.
Hu Di continued to say, "Actually, Lord Xihua, I, Hu Di, have never been your right-hand man. There is a part of my resume that you may not have noticed. Before I became a sword bearer, I was a player of the Yaoguang Sword Faction in Sword Lady Online. I did not have the opportunity to become a sword bearer, but His Majesty saw my potential and spent a lot of money to buy many Sword Lady tokens in the game. In the end, I was able to coordinate with 2,000 different Ancient Sword Ladies and finally found an Ancient Sword Lady that belonged to me and became an Ancient Sword Lady."
Hudi said gratefully, "From the moment I became the sword-bearer, I swore to dedicate my life to His Majesty. My life is His Majesty's sword. Wherever His Majesty wants me to go, I'll go. Even if I die, I'm willing to do so!"
"Fortunately, my path was very smooth, and I actually became a Spirit Sword level sword wielder. Thus, His Majesty the first emperor placed me by your side.
So, my dear Lord Xihua, I have never been one of your people, nor am I your right-hand man. I am just a chess piece used to monitor you … Actually, you can't blame me for this. Didn't even the person closest to you betray you? "
Sword Immortal Hu Di's words were like a handful of salt sprinkled on Lu Xihua's wounds. Lu Xihua once had two trusted subordinates who were known as his left and right hands. One was Sword Immortal Hu Di, and the other was naturally Lu Xihua's younger brother, Lu Yin.
But in the end, both of them had betrayed Lu Xihua, and almost everything about Lu Xihua was controlled by Ying Zheng. It was no wonder that Lu Xihua was killed by Ying Zheng so easily in the end. The enemy knew every move you made, so how could you not fail?
"I see …" After a moment of silence, Lu Xihua glanced at the other four sword bearers who were also silent. "What about the four of you?
Are you going to attack me as well? "
"Lord Xihua, you don't have to say anymore. The four of them are the same as me. We were all nurtured by His Majesty from ancient sword bearers to where we are today. The five of us will never betray His Majesty," Sword Immortal Hu Di said.
"Fine. If that's the case, then let's do it!"
Lu Xihua sighed and held the Ten-Winged Angel Sword in his hand. He pointed the tip of the sword at the five sword bearers.
"Do it!"
The five sword bearers did not hesitate and immediately charged at Lu Xihua. Both sides were instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.
There was not much to say about the battle. Lu Xihua, who had received Guhan's teachings, was the strongest among the five sword bearers.
But the problem was that Lu Xihua's body was almost completely reconstructed. Most of the meridians in his body were still blocked, so Lu Xihua could not use his full strength.
More importantly, these five Immortal Sword Rank sword bearers were all very strong. Hu Di did not need to be mentioned. He had received guidance from Ying Zheng, and Lu Xihua, who had trained him as his right-hand man, had also taught Hu Di many things. Among them, there was no lack of Lu Xihua's unique sword techniques.
The direct result was that Hu Di understood Lu Xihua very well, and could almost completely predict Lu Xihua's tactics. Together with the attacks of the other four immortal sword rank Swordmaidens, this absolute difference in numbers and ability directly forced Lu Xihua into an extremely difficult situation. Lu Xihua could only barely defend against the attacks of the five immortal sword rank Swordmaidens. The energy of the Personal Protective Shield around his body was constantly being depleted, and very soon, it had been weakened by 30%. Lu Xihua looked like he was going to lose for sure.
Sword Immortal Hu Di sighed and said, "Don't waste time. His Majesty the First Emperor's ascension ceremony has already begun. We have to hurry over to congratulate His Majesty the First Emperor. This is our best congratulatory gift. Everyone, use your trump cards and quickly capture her alive … No … just kill her. Capturing her alive is too difficult!"
