The rain gradually weakened and finally stopped after about an hour. The clouds are opening, the sun is appearing, the rainbow is hanging high, and as far as the eye can see, the trees are green, and I feel relaxed and happy. In just a moment, the official road was crowded with people, carriages and horses crisscrossed, and the usual bustle returned.
Hu Xiaotian paid the bill and just stepped out of the teahouse door when he saw more than ten swordsmen pouring out of the wine shop on the opposite side of the road. Most of them were in high spirits and extremely powerful. One of them has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide mouth and a high nose. He is clearly Xie Junfeng, the rising star of Taishan Sword Sect. After not seeing each other for just two days, Xie Junfeng's face turned pale, his eyes wandered, and his original vigor and arrogance were gone. He probably had not yet recovered from Li Xuan'er's blow. You must know that he was first deceived by the soul-calling bell, and then severely hit by Li Xuan'er. It was not easy to save his life. The swordsmen around him were neatly dressed and all wore broad-bladed swords. They must have come from the same sect.
Hu Xiaotian and the Taishan Sword Sect have never dealt with each other, and now they are alone. If there is a conflict between the two parties, won't he suffer a loss? In a blink of an eye, the two middle-aged swordsmen in front had their temples bulging high, looking for power. They should be senior masters who have been famous for a long time. After a slight hesitation, they turned around and returned to the teahouse. At this moment, Xie Junfeng on the other side seemed to feel something. He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked up. Suddenly his body shook violently. He pointed at him and jumped up and shouted: "Hu Xiaotian, it's you!"
Like a thunder on the ground, everyone was moved and turned to look. Because he defeated Tengemu a few days ago and promoted our country's prestige, he was awarded the title of "Warrior of the Ming Dynasty" by King Yan. Hu Xiaotian's name is in Xuzhou
The area around the state is extremely loud. At this moment, they suddenly heard that the legendary hero was beside them. Everyone stretched their necks to look at him, half curious and half admiring.
Hu Xiaotian's identity was revealed by someone, so he couldn't deny it or dodge it. He sighed secretly, cupped his fists and said, "It's true that we don't meet again in life. Thank you, Young Master, Hu is so polite." His mind raced, he had now offended the Qinglong Society, How could Baiyun Sect, Yanyu Tower and other major forces know that there were no spies of theirs around? Once the news spreads, experts from all sides chase after each other, and a disaster is imminent! Thinking of this, I was really annoyed by Xie Junfeng's reckless behavior.
"Hu Xiaotian!" "He is Hu Xiaotian!" "Real or fake? How could the Ming Dynasty warrior be so young?" Everyone was whispering to each other, buzzing about, and unconsciously moved out of the way.
Xie Junfeng once teamed up with his fellow juniors to besiege Hu Xiaotian, but they could not gain any advantage. They were ridiculed afterwards and have always been brooding about it. At this moment, he unexpectedly bumped into the opponent. He was surprised and resentful. Also, relying on the elders from his master's sect to hold the battle, Cang Lang drew his sword out of its sheath and gritted his teeth and said: "Hu Xiaotian, the last time we fought, we couldn't decide the outcome. Today we must fight together." It¡¯s a duel between men and women, don¡¯t be timid and run away!¡±
Hu Xiaotian was in the mood to quarrel with him, and waved his hand and said: "Xie Shaoxia, it's just a small misunderstanding between you and me. There is no deep hatred. It just needs to be resolved. What's more, it is extremely inappropriate to fight swords here! Blocking the road due to a dispute of spirits will disturb people. Common people, not the heroes.¡±
Xie Junfeng's sword has been unsheathed, but he is not willing to let it go. He sneered: "What qualifications do you have to talk about the word 'xia'? If you are afraid, just
Kneel down and kowtow three times, and I, the Taishan Sect, will let you go. "
Kneel down and kowtow? ! Everyone looked at each other, and the noisy discussions quickly subsided from near to far. Even a fool knew that Hu Xiaotian would never agree to such a condition.
Hu Xiaotian's face darkened and he said calmly: "Xie Junfeng, your internal injuries have not healed, and your martial arts skills are only 70% at most. I can't win with force. When you heal your injuries, Hu will be waiting for you at any time!"
Xie Junfeng¡¯s mind was filled with the idea of ??becoming famous, and he was not willing to give up. He said loudly: ¡°Hu Xiaotian, stop showing off your falsehood here, I won¡¯t accept this!¡±
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "The top ten famous rookies turned out to be such shallow and arrogant things. It is really disappointing. It is said that character is like swordsmanship, so don't look at your swordsmanship!"
Xie Junfeng's face turned red and then turned livid, his eyes burst out with blazing flames, and he shouted wildly: "Bold maniac, how dare you insult my Taishan sect?!" His knees slightly bent, and he suddenly jumped up with force, and his whole body flew like an eagle. Going up to the sky, the sword light suddenly flashed, and he used the Taishan sword technique "watching the tide at sunset". The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, the silver light overlapped, and it struck down in front of his face with a sharp sound. He knew very well that his opponent's swordsmanship was superb and he had to get the upper hand if he wanted to win, so his first move was the most exquisite killing move in the sect.
Xie Junfeng is recognized as a new generation master in the world. He has considerable attainments in Qinggong, internal strength, and swordsmanship. When this sword move is launched, the sword light is dazzling and the momentum is like a rainbow. The onlookers can't help but cheer. But the real master shook his head secretly, nothing is too much, thank you
when! The two swords connected, Hu Xiaotian's arm shook violently, and a majestic force penetrated his body, almost making him unable to hold the sword hilt, his right foot became loose, and he couldn't help but take a step back. The middle-aged swordsman who suddenly drew his sword twisted his sword sharply.He said: "Let me go!" Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Not necessarily!" He used the word "Rou" to use the force and unload the force, just like the changing flow of water, drawing a series of connected imaginary circles in the air. Endless and endless. Even though the middle-aged swordsman's internal strength was better than his, he felt that the long sword seemed to be inserted into the thick syrup. Every change was extremely laborious, and there was a possibility of losing control. He couldn't help being surprised, and immediately moved his left palm forward. Shoot out. Hu Xiaotian saw the iron palm coming towards his chest and had no way to avoid it, so he had to block it with his fists. However, hearing a muffled thud, he involuntarily took another step back, and blood spilled from his mouth.
"It's Ye Tiezhou!" "The Taishan sect bullies the small with the big, how shameless!" "Despicable!" More and more people gathered, including many heroes from the martial arts world. Seeing the middle-aged swordsman sneaking up on Hu Xiaotian, they couldn't help but shout out. He yelled and cursed. Anyway, there are many people with mixed opinions, so we are not afraid of Taishan Sect¡¯s Qiu Hou settling accounts.
Ye Tiezhou is a well-known figure in the northern martial arts world. He is the younger brother of Li Zeqian, the leader of the Taishan School. He is not the same as Xie Junfeng and others. He didn't pay much attention to Hu Xiaotian before taking action, thinking that he could win with one move, but he didn't know that this young man's resilience was beyond imagination, and he even mastered a magical and unpredictable sword technique, which almost made him embarrassed on the spot. Hearing the scoldings from everyone, he blushed slightly and said in a deep voice: "Young man named Hu, you can block my sword and palm, you can do a good job."
Ability. However, you have to pay the price for hurting my disciple of Taishan Sect. As long as you cut off one of your fingers to apologize, I will spare you today and this matter will not be further investigated. "
Hu Xiaotian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his backhand and said proudly: "Master Ye, I didn't mean to be meddlesome. It was your Taishan disciples who provoked you first and then took the initiative to attack with your sword. Shouldn't Hu just sit back and wait to be killed? Xie Junfeng and I fought fair, no one can I have never cheated or cheated. I lost the sword duel because of his lack of skill. How can you make things difficult for me? Even if the Taishan Sword Sect is famous in the world, you can't cover up the sky with one hand and bully your martial arts colleagues at will!"
Ye Tiezhou's face turned green: "Hu Xiaotian, it's not your turn as a young boy to dictate how our Taishan sect should act! If you accept the punishment obediently, everything will be easier to say, otherwise I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
Hu Xiaotian said lightly: "No matter the right or wrong, is Master Ye determined to teach the younger generation a lesson?"
Ye Tiezhou said coldly: "Hu Xiaotian, don't say I won't give you a chance. As long as you can take thirty moves from me without losing, what about today's matter being written off?"
Hu Xiaotian said loudly: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with. Everyone present is a witness. Let's see how Ye Daxia personally teaches Hu the swordsmanship."
Ye Tiezhou sneered and said: "The sword has no eyes. If I can't hold back and hurt your life, don't blame me when you get to the Lord of Hell." After saying this, he suddenly dodged and unexpectedly took the lead in attacking.
Seeing Ye Tiezhou rushing to draw his sword regardless of his identity, boos broke out around him. Hu Xiaotian's heart was as calm as an ancient well, his wrists vibrated continuously, the wind of the sword suddenly sounded, and he suddenly used a sword as fast as wind and thunder.
He ignored the enemy's sword attack and fought back desperately. But the sword light shot out with electricity, the sword blade screamed through the air, and the speed of each sword was beyond imagination. It was so dizzying that one could not see clearly the trajectory of the sword. How did Ye Tiezhou know that Hu Xiaotian had a special skill with a fast sword? He was caught off guard and was almost injured by the sword. He jumped away and changed his moves to defend, and he kept parrying with jingling sounds. He is indeed a master of swordsmanship who has been famous for many years. Not only does he attack fiercely, but his defense is also airtight. When he was retreating, he shouted: "You are using the wind and thunder sword technique?" Hu Xiaotian said: "So what if it is, so what if it is not?" The force of the sword surged forward, forcing the opponent to take three steps back in the blink of an eye.
This time the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed, causing an uproar immediately. You must know that Ye Tiezhou has been a man who has been running rampant in the world for nearly twenty years. He has always been the only one who bullies others. How has he ever been forced to retreat by a junior with a sword? To put it bluntly, when he was walking around the world with his sword, Hu Xiaotian hadn't even popped out of his mother's womb yet! Everyone knew that Hu Xiaotian had great swordsmanship, but they did not expect that he could be on par with the masters of swordsmanship, and that he was strong enough to rank among the top masters in the world. Some people are thinking fast and are already guessing the origin of Hu Xiaotian's sect, and even comparing the strengths and weaknesses between him and Gao Qingcheng. If Hu Xiaotian is better than Gao Qingcheng, wouldn't he be able to compete with Ji Haoming for the title of No. 1 in the world?
Li Zeqian, the leader of the Taishan Sword Sect who was watching the battle, frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "Junior Brother Ye, don't take another half step back!"
Ye Tiezhou secretly felt ashamed. He was forced to take three steps back by a junior just now. He was really embarrassed and humiliated! The murderous intent suddenly arose, and he drew out his sword fiercely.
It was like a tiger coming out of its box, making ten swings and ten strikes, overwhelming the opponent's sword light in an instant. His experience and swordsmanship are far superior to Xie Junfeng's. He is capable of both offense and defense. He is upright and upright, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of. He wants to force Hu Xiaotian to win head-on. Hu Xiaotian has so much experience in facing the enemy, how can he use short attack to attack the enemy and obey the opponent's wishes? The tip of the sword pierced the spine of the opponent's sword with a clang, and he used the force to jump backwards and flew backwards into the door of the teahouse. Ye Tiezhou roared like thunder, raised his sword and chased after him, and also rushed into the teahouse. But listening to the jingle of the sword blades, the energyThere was a loud noise, interspersed with the panicked shouts of the teahouse owner, and from time to time, sword energy arose, slashing the roof and walls into pieces flying everywhere. During the fierce battle, a loud bang was heard and the entire teahouse collapsed. Everyone screamed in surprise. Before the shouts stopped, two figures leaped out with sword energy filling the sky, and then landed lightly on the ground. Ye Tiezhou's face was livid, his eyes were spitting fire, while Hu Xiaotian was as cold as a mountain, without the slightest hint of timidity.
After a long silence, Hu Xiaotian asked slowly: "Daxia Ye, can I pass the thirty-stroke bet?"
Ye Tiezhou felt ashamed and hateful. He put his sword back into its sheath, turned around and left.
Not to mention how the Taishan Sect members left angrily, Hu Xiaotian left the road alone, first turned eastward and crossed the fields and woods, and then turned southward under the cover of the trees, carefully erasing traces along the way to avoid being followed. Today's battle will spread across the world again, and those with evil intentions will surely take action upon hearing the news. The journey ahead will be murderous at every step, so don't be careless. He walked zigzag along the edge of the woods, and then walked for several miles along the stream. As the sky turned dark and the twilight mist gathered, a figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
An abandoned earth temple. When I got closer, I saw that nearly half of the house had collapsed, with overgrown weeds and dense cobwebs. The idol collapsed and fell to the ground, covered with thick dust. Hu Xiaotian folded a few branches with leaves, simply cleaned a corner of the house, then spread a layer of thatch, and meditated to adjust his breathing.
Night fell, the clouds thickened, a cool breeze blew in, and light rain began to fall again. In the complete silence, the rain drips and frogs chirp everywhere. Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from far away, running towards the Earth Temple. Hu Xiaotian opened his eyes and quietly held the hilt of the sword. If this uninvited guest came here just to take shelter from the rain, everyone would naturally be in peace. If he was a spy affiliated with Yanyu Tower or Qinglong Society, he would have no choice but to kill him and silence him.
Hearing the rustle of the wind, a black shadow swooped across the broken wall and landed in the temple. Hu Xiaotian looked at it intently. He saw a stout man with eyes like copper bells. He was wearing a Mongolian robe and carrying a long cloth bag on his shoulder. It was Tengge wood! Hu Xiaotian was secretly surprised. He thought that after losing the competition, the Mongolian swordsman returned to the Mongolian grassland with hatred, but unexpectedly he met him again. Could it be that Tenggemu also participated in the treasure appraisal conference held the day before yesterday? Why do we have to walk alone late at night? Then he coughed lightly and stood up straight. Tenggemu didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the ruined temple. He was shocked when he heard the strange sound. His eyes flashed fiercely, and he raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the opponent.
when! Sparks flew everywhere, and the light disappeared in a flash.
With the help of a faint light, Tenggemu blurted out: "How could it be you?!" He held a knife across his chest and said full of hostility: "Hu Xiaotian, you were ordered to arrest me.
¡°Hmph, unless you kill me, don¡¯t try to take her away from me! "
Hu Xiaotian thought about lightning in his mind and said in a deep voice: "Tenggemu, you misunderstood. I just want to rest here for a night, and don't want to waste my energy on meddling. When the sky breaks, you and I will go our separate ways. As for you I'm not interested in making enemies with anyone or hiding anywhere." He has provoked enough powerful enemies, and he really doesn't want to have another conflict with Tenggemu and expose his whereabouts.
Tenggemu shook his head and said: "The Han people in the Southern Dynasty are cunning and cunning. They do one thing in front of others and do the other behind their backs. They are the most untrustworthy. Do you want to trick me into letting down my guard and then take action suddenly? Hu Xiaotian, stop playing tricks. I don't want to be trusted." You'll be fooled!" As he said this, he glanced left and right vigilantly in case another master suddenly appeared.
Hu Xiaotian took a few steps back, put his sword back into its sheath, and asked, "What's in the bag? Is it the gold and silver jewelry you snatched?"
??Tenggemu has so much experience in fighting. Judging from Hu Xiaotian's movements, tone and momentum, he inferred that the other party did not have any hostility. He hesitated and said: "Are you really not sent by King Yan?"
"King Yan Zhu Di?!" Hu Xiaotian was stunned. How could Tenggemu be at odds with King Yan and even have to flee overnight? Did he steal King Yan's rare treasures? Or maybe he raped and killed King Yan¡¯s concubine? Qidao said: "Tenggemu, you are now in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, not the Mongolian grassland. Once you offend King Yan, you may not be able to escape the trap set by the officers and soldiers, and you will only die. How did you offend King Yan? Did you Haven¡¯t you considered the consequences?¡±
