Ren Qi and Zhao Qian traveled together. Apart from the fight between fellow disciples yesterday, they did not encounter any other interceptions along the don’t know whether he had killed all the people or others were afraid of his power, but there was not even a bird in this huge forest. After passing through the forest, the view suddenly opens up to a large lake. By this time, it was unknown how long the surface had been frozen, and it was so solid that a horse could almost run on it. "This lake is probably called Jingxin Lake. I heard about it from the locals at the foot of the mountain." Zhao Qian said. "You have done enough intelligence work." Ren Qi nodded, "Did they tell you how long it would take to get to the top of the mountain from here?" "Well, they didn't say that. Maybe it's because not many people are interested in the top of the mountain." Ren Qi laughed, "Or maybe it's only recently that so many irrelevant people have come." He looked at the lake, and on the vast lake stood a pavilion that was higher than the ice surface. Probably when there was water, this was a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

And there was obviously someone standing in the pavilion. Zhao Qian's breathing became tense. She felt that the man was a troublesome person at first glance, and particularly troublesome. Ren Qi also had this intuition, but he still kept his breathing steady and walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake at the same pace as usual. At this time, the two sides were two thousand steps apart, and only a shadow could be seen vaguely in the pavilion. When they were halfway through the journey, Ren Qi widened his eyes and saw that the man was nine feet tall, almost as tall as himself, with a long package beside him, which seemed to be a gun. Zhao Qian also saw it, but she had not spoken a word just now. Only then did she ask in a low voice: "Is this your acquaintance?" "Why, am I so disliked that all my acquaintances, friends, and fellow disciples in the world are out to hunt me down?" Although Ren Qi smiled like this, as he got closer, he became more and more aware of who the person in the pavilion was. White Rust, the Spear Saint of the North. There are many people in the world who can call themselves the King of Spears when they wield spears. Ren Qi alone has heard of many names and many people. For example, there is the Gun King in the provincial capital, the Gun King in the Thirteen Provinces, the Gun King in the North, the Gun King in the South China Sea, and so on. However, there is only one person in Jiuzhou who can be called a saint and deserves this title, and that is the Gun Saint of the North, Bai Xiu. He was tall, with white hair at a young age, so people always thought that Bai Xiu was his nickname, but it was his real name. In the past, when the foreigners went up the canal and attacked Tianjin, Ren Qi met him. At that time, Bai Xiu was standing outside the building, while Ren Qi and the guards were standing inside. Even though the foreigners had already reached their doorstep, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Bai Xiu was hunting down his enemies in the martial arts world, while Ren Qi was protecting the nobles in the imperial court. Everyone does his or her own thing. No one cared where the foreigners' artillery was pushed, nor did they care about the situation of the war. At that time, Haihualou was still the number one restaurant in Tianjin, not a pile of ashes a few years later. Ren Qi was inside the door, drawing his sword and confronting Bai Xiu outside.

There are people inside the gate that Bai Xiu wants to kill, but the chief eunuch Di Wei is also stationed inside the gate, so he cannot get in for the time being. The situation was tense and both sides had exhausted their patience until a cannon shot approached. When the shells landed on a house not far away, Bai Xiu finally turned around and ran to the dock to fight the foreigners. Ren Qi and his group also turned around to leave Tianjin and head south to avoid the attack of the foreigners. That was the only side they had, but it made both sides see each other's position clearly, and they never met again for many years. "I was only in my early twenties at that time, and I became the chief of the Imperial Palace at that age. Just imagine how high-spirited I must have been. I felt that I could make my own way in the world, so no one looked down on me." "Does it also include the Northern Spear Saint Bai Xiu?" "no, he is not." Ren Qi shook his head, "I'm afraid he had already entered the realm of synaesthesia at that time. I was no match for him. It was only because of Di Wei's presence and the assistance of many masters from the Imperial Palace that he did not act rashly. So I remember him, just thinking about taking his head off one day. But that was just the mood of a teenager. After more than a decade, I have long forgotten about him." "So, now we are meeting again?" "Reunion with old friends?" Ren Qi snorted coldly, "It should be a joy to meet old friends again, but I only feel trouble, so this should be called a meeting between enemies." As they were talking, they had already closed the distance with Bai Xiu, and finally there were only two hundred steps left. Bai Xiu walked out of the pavilion and looked into Ren Qi's eyes. Just like in the past, time did not make these eyes dim or numb. Instead, it made Bai Xiu more heroic, just like a spear that has been polished in battles, becoming more sharp and heroic. The white rust seemed to be responding to the past, the last golden age of the martial arts world. Ren Qi, however, only thought about the present. "Bai Xiu, you also accepted the benefits from Xiandu to deal with me?" "I am indeed here to deal with you, but there is no benefit in taking over Xiandu." The long package in Bai Xiu's hand was probably his Overlord Spear, which he held in one hand and pressed against the ground. "You are willing to do such useless things. You are either bored or you are out of your mind." "Not everything requires benefits to be done, Ren Qi." Bai Xiu had a look of disdain on his face. "I thought your personality would have changed after you betrayed Yujing, but I didn't expect you to be the same as before, just as despicable and hateful." "Do you know me well?" Ren Qi sneered, "Logically speaking, we only met once in Tianjin. There were three commanders present, as well as Di Wei. How could you remember me?" "Because your appearance hasn't changed at all."

Bai Xiu said calmly, "Moreover, you are the owner of the six fastest swords in the world. When the gold casting master forged these six swords, he forged them with the six virtues of a gentleman, hoping that they could be used by an upright swordsman to achieve great things. But who would have thought that they would fall into your hands. This really makes the precious sword covered in dust, and also brings shame to all swordsmen in the world!" Ren Qi scoffed at this statement. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? A sword is just a sword, a tool for killing people. If it falls into the hands of a so-called gentleman, does it not need to be stained with blood? They are all the same, they all kill people, why is it noble in the hands of some people and corrupt in the hands of others?" "But I have never seen anyone as depraved as you." Bai Xiu seemed to be getting angry as well, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly. "In Yujing, who wouldn't tremble in fear when hearing your name, Ren Qi? You went to Jiangnan and killed so many people along the way. There was no day when you didn't kill people and destroy other people's families. The imperial court asked you to capture ten members of the White Lotus Sect, but you ended up capturing hundreds of people, even children not even as tall as your waist. The great hero Guo Kai retired from the martial arts world for a long time, and did not care about worldly affairs for a long time. As a result, you led your soldiers to besiege Guojiabao for three days and three nights, and killed all his family members, young and old. In my opinion, you are not so-called loyal to your duty, you just like to kill people." The more Zhao Qian listened, the tighter her brows furrowed, and she felt more and more indignant for Ren Qiming. "They threw a lot of dirty water on you." "No." Ren Qi shook his head, "I did all of that." Zhao Qian was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment, and just stood there awkwardly. "Since you already know who I am, you'd better leave quickly." Ren Qi glanced at her without any intention of blaming her. "Not only good people will cause trouble to Xiandu, but bad people will also cause trouble to Xiandu. The person who killed the bad guy may not be a good person, but may be a more vicious person. Bai Xiu didn't say anything wrong, nor did he make up any accusations. I am even worse than he said. If there are eighteen levels of hell, I will definitely be in the nineteenth level after I die." "No wonder you are the most wanted criminal in Kyushu." Zhao Qian murmured. "Of course." Ren Qi just smiled and said, "It's not because of my martial arts skills, but because I am the number one villain in the world. Do you understand now?" Bai Xiu couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand at Zhao Qian, "Girl, just follow that ridge down and you can get down the mountain in two days. There's no point in wasting your youth with this villain. Forget about what happened during this period, just treat it as a nightmare, and find a good family to marry into." Zhao Qian's eyes flickered, but she suddenly said, "Good people can't do that." "what?" Ren Qi and Bai Xiu were both stunned. However, Zhao Qian was not joking, she said seriously: "Good people will not help me to get revenge, he will only block those who want to go to Xiandu like you, the Spear Saint. It seems to be a theorem that bad guys will never give up, while good guys will tolerate and give in. So I don’t need good guys, I only need bad guys.

Because good people follow the rules and will never betray the rules and limitations of the world. Like you, they will not be enemies of Xiandu, nor will they seek justice for me. " "I don't know how either." Ren Qi emphasized. "I know." Zhao Qian smiled, then stepped aside and waited for Ren Qi. In this way, Ren Qi and Bai Xiu both understood her feelings. So what followed was just a showdown between the two strong men. Bai Xiu is the legend of Northern Wulin and the role model of people in the martial arts world. Moreover, he had entered the realm of synaesthesia many years ago, so Ren Qi dared not underestimate him any more. He drew out his two swords and adopted a mother-and-child sword stance, both attacking and defending. Bai Xiu did not underestimate the enemy either. He threw the package aside, and the silver-white spear appeared - the Snow Overlord. Only the red tassel on the tip of the gun was particularly eye-catching, making people tremble with fear when looking at it. White Rust held the spear against the ground, one end on the ice and the other under his chin. This posture is a bit like the six-and-a-half-point stick in Wing Chun. It seems to be defensive, but in fact it hides murderous intent. The spear is the king of all weapons, and Bai Xiu's height and long arms make this spearman look extremely dangerous. There are very few people who use long weapons in the Imperial Palace, because long weapons are often not easy to use whether for killing or guarding. Therefore, Ren Qi had little experience in fighting against spears. Apart from fighting with some people in the north, he also had a few fights with Lin Hu in Hong Kong Island. The Cangzhou spear in Lin Hu's hand was more than half a length longer than Bai Xiu's Snow Overlord, which gave him an advantage in terms of distance. However, to be honest, Bai Xiu was much stronger in terms of power and posture. This is not because Bai Xiu is a great master with unfathomable strength, but because he has a soul and an unpredictable force in his body. I'm afraid Lin Hu also regards Bai Xiu as his idol. After all, they both use spears. Bai Xiu, the spear saint of the north, is the legend of the northern martial arts world and the towering figure that all spearmen in the world look up to. Ren Qi confronted him and got goose bumps on the back of his hands, which was rare because he was excited and a little nervous. Bai Xiu took a deep breath and stared at the tip of the gun. At his level, he could "hear" Ren Qi's movements just by using his ears. So he lowered his head, both to maintain his attention and to accumulate momentum, waiting to explode. Ren Qi knew this, of course, but he didn't plan to just wait for Bai Xiu to attack. Fencing is originally an art of fighting on a narrow road. Not drawing the sword is definitely not Ren Qi's style. As a gust of cold wind blew across his face, causing the hairs on his body to stand up slightly, Ren Qi slid out on the ice and stabbed Bai Xiu with a sword. Bai Xiu shook his wrist, and the gun tip that was resting on the ground immediately shot out, shooting towards Ren Qi's face.

As fast as lightning and as agile as a dragon, picking and stabbing are just two actions, but they have changed several times in the process, creating several gun flowers. Ren Qi was delayed by the gunshot and could not help but jump back a step to avoid the sharp edge. Bai Xiu shook the Snow Overlord again and stabbed Ren Qi's shoulder with another shot. Ren Qi blocked the spear with one sword, and at the same time slid forward and used the other sword to attack Bai Xiu's center. Upon seeing this, Bai Xiu used an extremely simple spear technique called "sweep" to deflect Ren Qi's sword. At the same time he picked up the gun and fired a few more shots, each one fatally striking, with great force and vigor. Ren Qi couldn't get close to him for the moment, so he held two swords in his hands, waving, blocking, and circling. After a few rounds, the two sides separated. White Rust obviously had some surprises. "Finally, someone in Beiwulin has entered the realm of synaesthesia." Immediately, he felt regretful again: “But I didn’t expect it to be you, Ren Qi. You are greedy for fame and fortune, and you will kill for anyone without hesitation if he pays you a hundred taels of silver. How come a profit-seeking person like you could break through the entrance and get to the three great hidden treasures?" Ren Qi didn't care about the criticism in his words, and just said calmly: "Maybe it's because I've changed?" "You've changed? Is it possible for you to change for the better?" Bai Xiu changed his stance. He took a step forward, arched his instep, and turned the Snow Overlord sideways. He then turned sideways to face Ren Qi, his eyes glaring at him fiercely. "Maybe I've become worse?" Ren Qi sneered and slapped the remaining four swords on his back. The colorful swords immediately pierced into the ice. Under the sunlight, they reflected the sunlight, shining coldly and dazzlingly. This dangerous weapon actually gives people a dizzying and intoxicated feeling. Bai Xiu doesn't know whether other people have this experience. However, he did feel a special beauty from it. The battle with Ren Qi made his blood, which had long been dormant, surge again.
