Chapter 119 Lu Li's Knife
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Yes.
The six people in the sky.
Although they have different personalities and identities.
But the genuine joy they exuded when they were together was undeniable.
Those were truly carefree golden years.
Lu Li looked at Dan Heng's lonely figure and sighed inwardly.
he knows.
As the reincarnation of Danfeng, Danheng must have felt terrible seeing these scenes.
after all.
Those former best friends have now become... mortal enemies.
He became a general who bore the weight of everything.
One whose whereabouts are unknown.
There's another one...
Lu Li dared not think any further.
Lu Li turned his gaze back to the sky.
he knows.
That storm is coming soon.
but……
Lu Li frowned slightly.
After he came into this world.
Besides the people on the Starry Sky Train, I also privately investigated the things about other people in my memory.
Jingyuan and Jingliu are naturally among them.
Based on the publicly available information he was able to find, the course of history largely matched his impression.
But now the sky... or rather, the system, is telling him.
In real history.
Besides the Five Heroes of the Clouds, there was another unknown figure named Lu Li back then.
Looking at Lu Li, who was leisurely fishing in the sky, Lu Li seemed to be deep in thought.
Just like the Kafka arc in the first act.
Since he has already chosen to get involved,
Really... will you do nothing at all?
……
The scene on the screen shifted.
The six people appear to have completed their mission and returned.
They are currently sitting around a huge ginkgo tree, drinking and chatting.
"Hey Lu Li, why did you slack off again this time and not participate?"
Ying Xing took a swig of wine and asked casually.
"Besides, you always carry that wine gourd around, but I've never seen you practice your swordsmanship."
The others also looked at Lu Li with curiosity.
Lu Li shrugged upon seeing this.
"I've already said I'm a knife wielder, not a sword wielder."
"And why bother practicing that stuff? It's all fighting and killing, so tiring."
"The most important thing is—that's not called slacking off."
Faced with the curious gazes of the crowd.
Lu Li said with a serious expression, "I called that giving you a chance to show yourselves."
Yingxing: "..."
Bai Heng: "..."
Mirror Flow: "..."
Danfeng: "..."
Jing Yuan: "..."
No, isn't this just being lazy?
Uh, no, that's not right.
According to Lu Li, it should be called... "slacking off"?
Lu Li leaned lazily against the tree trunk and took another swig of wine.
"Enjoy life while you can, as long as there's wine to drink, why make yourself so tired?"
"You rascal..." Ying Xing was amused by his lazy, cowardly demeanor. "I remember when you first joined us for drinks, didn't you say you wanted to become the number one swordsman in the world?"
"Uh, is that true?" Lu Li scratched his head, looking completely bewildered. "I don't remember that."
"You!" Yingxing pointed at him, so angry that she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Bai Heng burst into laughter, saying, "Alright, alright, Lu Li, stop teasing him."
"Yingxing, Lu Li just doesn't like fighting."
However, as she spoke, she seemed to remember something.
Bai Heng then looked at Lu Li and asked curiously, "But Lu Li, there's something I've wanted to ask you before."
"That knife on your waist, I don't think I've ever seen you draw it in battle."
"Does it have some special story behind it?"
As soon as Bai Heng said this...
The audience outside the canopy instantly perked up.
Here it comes!
The big one is finally coming!
Bai Heng had just voiced what they were thinking.
Ever since Ying Xing said that even he couldn't work on this knife, everyone has been driven crazy by their curiosity.
[Want to slack off and play cards: I bet this is some kind of divine weapon that Lu Li painstakingly found in some secret realm!]
[Luo Fu Cloud Cavalry: That's quite possible. After all, this is a weapon that even the forging genius Ying Xing couldn't forge; it's definitely not simple.]
[Company lackey: Speaking of which, the sword Lu Li used in the Kaffa arc didn't seem like a ruler... Could it be the one he's using now?]
[Junior Sister of Taixu Sword Sect: Hmm... Could it be that something happened and she lost it, then got a new one?]
[Want to slack off and play cards: Lu Li is just a lazy bum, not an idiot...]
[Company lackey: Ugh, what's the point of guessing? Just keep watching and you'll find out!]
The audience looked up at the sky with anticipation once again.
The scene continues.
He noticed that everyone's attention was focused on the knife at his waist.
"story?"
Lu Li thought for a moment, then let out a burp. "Nothing special, I just picked it up by the roadside."
"I found it quite useful and have been using it ever since."
Yunshang Wuxiao: "..."
Audience members outside the canopy: "..."
Do we look like idiots to you?
Just then.
In the sky, Jingliu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
"I know." Jingliu looked at Lu Li. "Your knife is very fast."
Jing Yuan and the others were all taken aback when they heard this.
They knew that Lu Li's true strength must be very high.
But to receive a "very fast" comment from Luo Fu's "Invincible" swordsman... that's no ordinary honor.
Ying Xing looked even more incredulous: "Really?"
"Kyoryu, are you drunk?"
"With his lazy nature, how fast could he possibly be?"
Jing Liu ignored him, simply looking quietly at Lu Li: "But what is the 'intention' behind your sword?"
"Sword intent?" Lu Li took another gulp of wine and mumbled, "What's that? Can you eat it?"
Jingliu's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
She stood up and walked to Lu Li.
"Draw your sword."
"Huh?" Lu Li was taken aback. "What?"
"Fight me." Jingliu's tone left no room for argument.
"Let's not..." Lu Li said with a troubled expression, "It was fine before, but I really can't beat you now."
"I know."
"Then why are you still hitting me?"
"I want to see what you're wielding your knife for."
Jing Liu's gaze was as sharp as a sword, piercing straight into Lu Li's eyes.
Lu Li: "..."
Although I haven't formally become your apprentice in name, I'm practically your master, aren't I?
How could they have produced such a disgraceful disciple?
Lu Li felt a little uneasy under Jing Liu's gaze and sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, I give up."
He slowly stood up and unfastened the long sword from his waist.
"It's a promise, just once. I need to go back to sleep after that."
Upon seeing this, the audience outside the canopy instantly perked up.
[Luofu Cloud Cavalry: Holy crap! A fight's about to break out! The Sword Master from the era of the Five Valiant Warriors of Cloud Peak is going up against this mysterious sixth man!]
[Junior Sister of the Taixu Sword Sect: Look, look! This is a legendary duel! I wonder how it compares to his swordsmanship in the Kaffa arc!]
[Company henchman: I bet a bag of spicy strips that Lu Li is definitely playing dumb again!]
[Want to slack off and play cards: Although... why do I feel like Lu Li's lazy, good-for-nothing appearance is exactly the same as that one on the train? Could it be that no matter which life he's in, he's always been a lazybones?]
