When the official boat Chu Xisheng and others were riding entered the Hezhou territory along the Canglang River, Chu Xisheng found that the number of martial arts cultivators following the official boat had increased significantly.
Chu Xisheng looked around and found that there were two to three thousand knights following him on both sides of the river.
They were all idle knights with light coats and fat horses, or fellows with all kinds of weapons.
They swarmed on the embankment, riding horses and galloping, roaring like thunder, and stirred up two huge clouds of smoke.
These two huge groups of cavalry made the outposts and naval troops guarding the river along the way panicked and focused on defense.
Chu Xisheng couldn't understand. Are all these Jianghu people in Hezhou so idle?
What surprised Chu Xisheng even more was that since their ship entered Hezhou, more than a dozen people had written letters to the ship every day.
It's not a challenge, but detailed information about the Divine Swallow Sword Li Xiuchang, the Crazy Sword King Ming, and the Iron Shura Si Huangquan.
How detailed is it? In these letters, Chu Xisheng not only analyzed their skills, martial arts, martial arts, etc. in detail, but also recorded all the achievements of the three since their debut, analyzing their weaknesses and how to defeat the enemy.
There are even their living habits, including when to eat, when to practice martial arts, and when to go to the toilet, all of which are recorded in detail.
Zuo Qingyun grew up in the capital, and he knew what was going on at a glance.
"It must be the gambling halls in the capital that have opened a betting market for you. It is estimated that the scale is quite large. However, most people are not optimistic about you now, so the gambling halls hope that you will win.
Those who only plan to take a commission from the betting market are better, and the odds they offer are usually not high. Some people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money may even want to hire someone to fight for them. They would like to hire a master to fight those three young heroes for you. "
When Zuo Qingyun spoke, there was a look of regret in his eyes.
It's a pity that he couldn't place a bet, otherwise he would have to participate in the game.
In order to smoothen the relationship in the capital, he entrusted all his belongings, a total of 450,000 taels of magic silver, to Wu Meiniang, almost falling into abject poverty.
Zuo Qingyun urgently needs to make money to enrich his family's pocket.
How could Chu Xisheng not know what was going on?
He looked at the system panel in his field of vision with a slight headache.
Character: Chu Xisheng
Reputation: Lower than seventh grade (Super)
Martial arts: Chasing Wind Sword Technique (sixth level), Qingyun Zong (sixth level), Chasing Lightning Finger (fifth level)
Martial Intent: True Intent of Yaizhen (eighth level), Wind and Thunder Martial Intention (fifth level)
Yuan Gong: Yang Yuan Gong (fifth level/eighth level), Nine Refining Extreme Yuan Purple Gold Body (fourth level)
Martial Arts Point: 1532523
Talents: Divine Shang (Level 5), Heavenly Burial (Level 3), Pure Yang (Level 5), Supreme Communion with Gods (Level 6), Hand with Wind and Lightning (Level 6), Time and Shadow Body (Level 5) order)
Status: Six Yin Resurrection Curse, Symbiosis (Initial), Ya Can
Lifespan: 92 days
Chu Xisheng's character panel has not changed much.
Only his 'Tai Shang Shen Tong Shen' has been promoted to the sixth level.
This is the only bloodline talent that Chu Xisheng has obtained from the martial arts treasure house in the past few days.
It cost him a full 390625 martial arts points.
After Taishang Tongshen entered the sixth level, some changes occurred.
When Chu Xisheng stared at these words, the information that came to his mind was very different from before.
Taishang Tongshen (Level 6) - perceptual talent, due to the extreme strengthening of all the five senses of form, sound, smell, taste, touch and mental awareness, it can obtain weak 'inspiration' and 'tongyuan' powers, and Awakening is weak to 'divine knowledge'.
'Inspiration' allows you to predict bad luck to a certain extent; 'Tongxuan' allows you to understand the secrets of heaven on a deeper level and enhance your understanding; 'divine knowledge' allows you to make the fastest and most accurate judgments in battle. And predict the enemy's intentions through the opponent's movements, surrounding environment, etc.
The sixth-level Supreme Master has first of all the power of "weak" inspiration and mysticism.
In the past, from the third level to the fifth level, it was all 'weak'.
In addition, he also has the ability of 'divine knowledge', which is quite easy to use.
Today at noon, when he fought against Fei Liren, who was ranked 36th on the Hezhou Qingyun Ranking, Chu Xisheng only glanced at his opponent and knew how he would use his sword and where he would slash.
Unfortunately, this 'divine knowledge' is also in a weak state, so it is not easy to use against opponents who are several levels above him.
Then there is the martial arts point.
Chu Xisheng had exchanged the sixth-level 'Tai Shang Shen', two pieces of 'Near Mo Zhi Hei', and invested 3,000 martial arts points to refresh the treasure house, but at this time, there were still 1.5 million points left.
In the past eight days, Chu Xisheng had been able to gain more than 70,000 martial arts points almost every day.
Especially the day he defeated Bai Quanda and Zhen Nian and defeated Wuzhou with swords. The martial arts points gained by Chu Xisheng amounted to two hundred thousand.
It's a pity that Chu Xisheng has been having bad luck recently. He is possessed by the Black Chief and has been unable to draw Pure Yang and Shenshang.
At present, these martial arts points can only be temporarily stored and have nowhere to be used.
What Chu Xisheng was paying attention to at this time was '睚禦' in the status bar.
——Your Yazhan Sword Intent was temporarily stimulated to its extreme state.
Chu Xisheng's face was complicated.
What inspired him to fight for the sword was naturally the young knights and charlatans who followed him on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Most of them were extremely hostile to him.
There are two reasons for this. One is because he swept through the four states of Wu, Ning, Ding and Fei, which made these Jianghu knights feel unhappy; the other is that many people lost money because of him.
Since the first day of March, Chu Xisheng has fought twenty-eight games in a row. In almost every battle along the way, there is a gambling game made by Jianghu forces.
In the back, Ding and Fei Erzhou were okay. Many people recognized his strength and determined that only the three swords in the capital could compete with him.
But in Wu and Ning states, the number of martial arts cultivators who lost money because of Chu Xisheng was no less than one million.
Some of them seemed to have fallen in love with him, and they followed him from Tianling County to the capital.
Fortunately, although these people were hostile, they had no intention of taking action.
They abide by the rules of the world.
Otherwise, Chu Xisheng and others might have been surrounded and killed on the river by these people before they left Wuzhou.
However, following these people caused trouble to several housekeepers and servants of the Zuo family.
They stayed up all night for several days, monitoring the movements on both sides of the Taiwan Strait all the time, and were on high alert every day.
What they are afraid of is that these people will lose too much and jump over the wall in a hurry; or there will be killers among them, trying to take action against the official ships.
Chu Xisheng also secretly felt troubled by this.
He guessed that if there were killers hired by the young minister of Dali Temple, these Jianghu Ke and young knights who followed him might add insult to injury and help these killers secretly.
This can be regarded as a gain and a loss. The attention of the world means that they no longer have to worry about the official power dispatched by the young minister of Dali Temple.
But at the same time, they also had to tense up all the time in the "send off" of thousands of people.
On this day, Chu Xisheng rarely practiced the 'Nine Refinements of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body' again.
After he finished the Yang Yuan Gong, he only practiced the Wind Chasing Sword and the Electric Finger for a short time, and then stopped practicing.
At this time, Ji Qianqian was also practicing his sword skills on the deck at the stern of the ship.
She seemed to be practicing swordsmanship with all her heart, but her eyes were chasing Chu Xisheng's figure all the time.
When she found out that Chu Xisheng had stopped practicing the Nine Refining Ultimate Purple Gold Body today, she suddenly frowned.
Is this guy preparing to conserve his energy for the next battle? Or have you used up the Fourth Transformation Golden Body Pill?
For some reason, Ji Qianqian felt relieved deep in his heart.
It’s okay if he doesn’t practice——
Chu Xisheng was originally a member of their Jinyiwei family. If they wanted to control this son, they might not have to use such extreme methods, or they could treat him with sincerity and win his heart.
Ji Qianqian then shook his head and put away this unrealistic idea.
Doesn't she still know what kind of character Chu Xisheng is?
No matter how many meat buns they Jin Yiwei threw at them, Chu Xisheng would just eat them all and abandon them without hesitation.
Cao Xuan is right, only the 'Nine Refinement Ultimate Purple Gold Body' can put a dog leash on him.
Chu Xisheng didn't know the tangle in Ji Qianqian's heart. He was chatting with Du Yunlai who was sitting on the side of the boat fishing.
"Today I saw you practice the Wind Chasing Knife and the Lightning Fingers, and you have already been able to initially achieve the integration of mind and martial arts. Your wind and thunder martial arts should be at the sixth level soon, right? Xisheng, you have made great progress in the past few days. , the progress is staggering.”
When Chu Xisheng heard this, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "I have really opened my mind recently, and have made great progress. The time when Fenglei Wuyi will enter the sixth level should be within the next two days."
Once he completes the 'Integration of Intention and Martial Arts', and truly integrates martial intention into his own martial arts, his sword speed can be increased by 20%.
This is actually the result of the sixth-level 'Tongshangshen', which greatly increased his understanding.
When Du Yunlai heard this, he turned sideways and glanced at Chu Xisheng. There was appreciation and envy in his eyes.
"Xiao Chu, do you know why all the sects in the world give 'enlightenment' as their first priority when selecting their disciples?"
"I know that," Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: "It's because of the bloodline talent."
The sect values understanding, in the final analysis, it is blood talent.
"Not bad!" Du Yunlai nodded slightly: "We warriors want to awaken more bloodline talents and upgrade them to a higher level. We need to practice martial arts diligently and upgrade our Yuan Gong, martial arts, and martial will. The higher the better.
The authentic Kung Fu and martial arts of all the major Xuanmen sects have the function of developing bloodline and eliminating the blockage in the body. The more we practice, the higher the level of martial arts, the greater the benefit, and the higher the possibility of awakening the bloodline talent. Even if we fall behind those geniuses at first, as long as we push up the level of Yuan Gong, martial arts, and martial arts, we will catch up with those geniuses sooner or later.
However, this depends on diligence, the second depends on financial resources, and the third depends on understanding. Everyone has hard work, and who among the people at the bottom doesn’t want to get ahead? The problem is that among ordinary people, who has the spare money to practice martial arts non-stop every day? Where did the money come from to buy those expensive elixirs? And those with high understanding are much better than those with ordinary understanding. Xiao Chu, you now have all three, and you have a bright future. "
When he said this, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He pulled the fishing rod and fished out a bass weighing at least ten kilograms from the river and dropped it on the deck.
Du Yunlai suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said, "I'm lucky. It's so noisy on the river, but I can still catch fish. It seems that today's dinner is already settled."
Chu Xisheng shook his head slightly: "Compared to those truly talented people, my understanding is still far behind. I can only practice harder to see if I can catch up with them."
In addition, there is money, but he is far behind.
Among those high-quality elixirs, battle maps, and magic weapons, none of them are priceless?
Du Yunlai twitched his lips when he heard this.
I thought, Chu Xisheng, your understanding is poor, so who am I?
But out of the corner of his eye, he immediately saw the "Tianji Martial Arts Book" placed at his feet.
They bought this at a high price when they crossed the border of Wuzhou. They bought five copies in total.
Du Yunlai took one of them and flipped through it to pass the time while fishing.
And what he is opening now is the Tianbang list of this issue of "Tianji Martial Arts".
Du Yunlai turned around and sighed: "You are right, some people's understanding is so high that it is simply difficult to understand. Take the fallen Martial King, it is said that when this woman entered the first rank at the age of twenty-two, she actually He has cultivated seventeen martial arts, three Yuan Gong, and four martial arts to the fifteenth level.
Among them, three of them have reached the eighteenth level, reaching the pinnacle, thus raising her bloodline talent to the top level in one fell swoop. This allowed her to compete with those veteran experts on the Heavenly Ranking Ranking for the first time. This understanding is simply monstrous and incomprehensible. "
Chu Xisheng thought of the rows of martial arts when using Qin Muge's character card.
Chu Xisheng now only practices the Wind Chasing Sword, the Electric Finger, Qing Yunzong and the Nine-Refined Ultimate Purple Gold Body, which requires most of his energy, and many times he even has to rely on the power of the system.
Qin Muge almost mastered all ten of the Wuxiang Divine Sect's external skills at the age of eleven.
But in this regard, there is no need for him to compare with Qin Muge.
The Tieshan Qin family's 'Thousand God Tribulation' means that the more extensive the martial arts they practice, the better. They can extract the essence and condense the power of killing gods.
Why did Qin Muge secretly learn the skills of the Wuxiang Divine Sect?
The purpose is to cultivate a more extensive martial arts and push the 'Thousand God Tribulation' to a higher level.
And just when Chu Xisheng was thinking a lot, he heard a loud shout from the left bank: "Is Chu Xisheng from Dongzhou Xiushui on the boat? I am Ling Mo, the 29th on the Hezhou Qingyun Ranking. Come and learn your brilliant tactics!"
Chu Xisheng glanced sideways at the young knight on the left bank who was shouting loudly, and then said helplessly: "Your Excellency, please get on the boat, and we will fight on the boat."
When Zuo Qingyun and Du Yunlai heard this, they couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You don't sign a life-and-death contract, and you don't choose any place to fight?"
Chu Xisheng shook his head slightly when he heard the words: "I won't sign it. Anyway, it's all just one move. I can do it without hurting him at all."
The key is that he can no longer collect wool.
Fighting against Qingyun Tianjiao at this level, no matter how many people are watching, it will be useless.
Just because most people have recognized his strength.
Therefore, Chu Xisheng did not want to fight in a busy place with many people, and planned to kill this person on the river.
——If it weren’t for the fact that refusing to fight would result in a loss of martial arts points, Chu Xisheng wouldn’t even bother to accept the challenge.
Ling Mo shouted loudly: "Okay!"
The man jumped into the air from the saddle, and then stepped on the river, like a strong horse, galloping towards the official ship.
Ling Mo crossed the five-mile-wide river, then suddenly rose up and landed on the deck.
This man was about fifteen years old, wearing a suit of iron armor, and his eyes were as cold as a sword. He looked up and down at Chu Xisheng: "Are you the tenth one of the Ten Great Swordsmen of Shenxiu, the Chu Yida who has swept across the four states recently?"
Chu Xisheng knew that he had the nickname "Chu Yidao" again.
He nodded slightly: "It's Chu. This ship is not convenient for outsiders to stay for a long time. Your Excellency, please, you and I will fight quickly!"
Ling Mo's face darkened, thinking that this 'Chu Yidao' was indeed just like the rumors, he was arrogant and conceited and looked down upon the world's heroes.
He looked at Chu Xisheng's hand again and found that although the guy was holding the knife, his posture was very relaxed, and his muscles were loose and weak.
Ling Mo couldn't help but sneer: "That's fine! Then please pay attention to Brother Chu!"
Clang!
He drew his sword and made a sharp sound.
But Ling Mo immediately discovered that Chu Xisheng's action of drawing the sword was obviously slower than him, but Chu Xisheng's Yanling sword was unsheathed at a faster speed.
What surprised him even more was that the position of Chu Xisheng's blade seemed to be everywhere, impossible to judge or capture, and the direction of the blade was specious and ambiguous.
It's the same information he got.
Ling Mo thought he could handle it, but when he faced Chu Xisheng's knife, he realized that he had taken it for granted.
Ling Mo didn't know how to block at all, so he could only keep retreating and retreating.
Shortly afterwards, there was a 'plop' sound on the river.
This is when Ling Mo's whole body was forced by Chu Xisheng's sword and fell into the Canglang River.
Du Yunlai looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake his head.
In the past ten days, Chu Xisheng has become more and more skilled in the use of "white horse is not a horse".
In addition, the power of his spiritual consciousness seems to have been greatly strengthened. When wielding the sword, he incorporates more of the charm of heaven, making it harder to resist.
Chu Xisheng sheathed her sword and saluted Ling Mo, who was floating out of the river below: "I accept!"
He had no intention of rescuing Ling Mo on the ship, and he probably didn't need it either.
Just when Chu Xisheng turned around, he heard a frivolous and cold laughter: "Their strength is really bad, why not try my sword."
Chu Xisheng felt something in her heart when she heard the words, and suddenly tilted her head to the side.
The next moment, a folded paper flying knife suddenly passed by his cheek with a sharp wind, and then was nailed to the wooden wall of the cabin behind, making a "snatching" sound.
This knife was obviously made of paper, but it actually penetrated the wood three-thirds of the way.
——Just now, if Chu Xisheng had just slowed down a little, he would have been hit between the eyebrows by this paper flying knife.
At the same time, the young man's frivolous laughter reached Chu Xisheng's ears again: "You are indeed very interesting. Pay attention and be careful behind you."
Following this sound, a blade of light struck from behind Chu Xisheng and cut straight into his neck.
Du Yunlai and Sikong Xin on the boat both changed their colors.
They didn't know when the martial artist who attacked Chu Xisheng boarded the ship!
But this person doesn't look like an assassin.
He did not take action against the Zuo family and his son, but when he used the knife on Chu Xisheng, he even warned him.
Du Yunlai looked at the young man in white who was wielding the Yanling Saber and had a smile on his face, and his expression changed.
Could this person be the Crazy Sword King?
It should be this person.
Du Yunlai has also read the information sent by those gambling houses and is very familiar with the characteristics of the Crazy Sword King's life.
However, Chu Xisheng's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he was like a phantom, moving two steps to the left, three steps forward, and one step to the right. He even managed to avoid the five consecutive slashes of the young man in white without even a moment's notice.
However, Chu Xisheng was still unable to turn around.
At this time, Chu Xisheng actually understood a little bit how his opponents felt when faced with a 'white horse but not a horse'.
Just because Chu Xisheng couldn't sense the person behind him at all.
In Chu Xisheng's five senses and spiritual consciousness, this man and his sword do not exist, they are all 'nothingness'!
But the opponent's sword intention was always locked on his hair, sending chills down his back - the opponent's sword intention was locked on his hair, and his sword was also aimed at his black hair.
Once the other party succeeds, Chu Xisheng will be a monk for a month or two.
Chu Xisheng could only sense the opponent's sword intent, but could not identify his location.
This person must have a unique skill or a unique talent.
Chu Xisheng could only fight with the "divine knowledge" awakened by the sixth-level "Tai Shang Shen" and make predictions in advance. At the same time, accumulate knife power and counterattack at any time.
However, it may be due to the recent success in practicing in the dream world and the complete mastery of the sixth level of light cloud.
At this time, Chu Xisheng was in a precarious situation, but on the surface, he was leisurely and at ease.
It wasn't until the sixth step that Chu Xisheng's eyes flashed, and then he suddenly turned around and drew his sword!
Secret trick* Traces of Wind!
He has caught the shadow of his opponent.
And the next moment, there was a loud sound on the deck.
The swords of the two collided in the sky above the deck, sending sparks all over the sky.
Chu Xisheng's charged sword was obviously beyond the opponent's expectations. This man was actually forcibly hit by Chu Xisheng's knife and flew seven feet away, sliding from the deck to the river.
Chu Xisheng finally saw clearly the person who attacked him, and he raised his eyebrows: "The life of the Crazy Sword King?"
Several people on the boat, led by Du Yunlai, released their weapons at this time.
They all looked slightly relaxed, thinking that Chu Xisheng could indeed handle it——
Wang Ming released the power of Chu Xisheng's knife and stepped on the water with his feet. His body was as light as a feather and did not sink.
He looked at Chu Xisheng with a blazing look in his eyes: "Your sword is indeed very interesting! The power of the sword is so strong that it can almost catch up with me, a seventh-grade inferior, and the movement skills are also very good. Are you interested in joining me? A fight on the river? By the way, the paper darts I gave you just now are my declaration of war and life and death status."
At this time, the thousands of knights on both sides of the Canglang River were making an uproar. They all rode to the heights of the embankment with excited expressions, looking up at the boat with their necks raised.
No one expected that the battle between Crazy Sword King Ming and Chu Xisheng would come so soon.
On Wang Ming's sword, a trace of sword energy condensed.
He didn't care about Chu Xisheng's opinion.
Regardless of whether Chu Xisheng is interested or not, this battle must be fought.
Just the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on Wang Ming's face.
At this time, ten tentacles came out of the water without warning and wrapped around Wang Ming's body.
Wang Ming was caught off guard and was unable to resist the tyrannical power of this Ho Luo fish. His entire body was dragged under the water.
But just when his body was about to be crushed by those tentacles. His whole body suddenly turned into a ball of smoke and dissipated in the water.
When Wang Ming appeared again, he was on the river twenty feet away.
But just as he stood firm, he saw the ten tentacles of the Ho Luo fish chasing after him like a shadow.
"Again?"
Wang Ming had to flee on the river.
He was driven around by He Luoyu's tentacles, looking embarrassed and speaking incoherently: "Brother Chu, why are you doing this? Wang just wants to fight you and learn your sword skills. I didn't mean anything just now, even though I said The Crazy Sword is very measured when it comes out. You don’t need to use this big guy, right?
Hey hey! This is too much. You actually use the Poison Dragon Diamond? You have to believe me, I didn't mean to attack you in a sneak attack. I just felt so happy that I couldn't bear it after I issued the letter of challenge. I reminded you when I drew my sword. There is no need to do things so absolutely. "
Chu Xisheng thought that this was true. When this person used the sword just now, he held back the power of the sword and did not mean to hurt anyone.
In his spiritual mind, he did not sense this person's murderous intention.
But Chu Xisheng was just unhappy and wanted this guy to suffer.
This guy didn't have any killing intent, but he was staring at his hair.
Just now, his reaction was a little slower, so he behaved badly.
Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back and looked calmly at the young men running for their lives on the river.
After a hundred breaths, Na He Luoyu tore off the white clothes on Wang Ming's body until only strips of cloth were left, and then said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Chu accepted your letter of challenge, but the time has to be set. After I entered the capital, Mr. Chu is now in a dangerous situation and it is inconvenient to be distracted."
Tieshuo Si Huangquan, Shenyan Sword Li Xiuchang and Crazy Sword Wang Ming, but his long-awaited opponent is the leek that allows him to collect a large amount of martial arts points again. How can he harvest it at this time?
not to mention--
Chu Xisheng stared at Zuoan.
Ever since he entered the realm of Hezhou, he had faintly sensed some danger in his soul.
It was clear that someone with great strength was eyeing them.
Chu Xisheng didn't even practice the Nine-Refined Ultimate Purple Gold Body today, just to maintain his physical strength and keep himself in the best condition to fight at any time.
The Ling Mo just now can be dispatched by Chu Xisheng with one blow without any loss of true energy.
But for this Crazy Sword King, Chu Xisheng thought that he would have to put in a little more effort.
Wang Ming finally stood firm on the river again.
He glanced at the Ho Luoyu sinking under the river surface with concern, and then laughed: "Okay! I'll be in the capital, waiting for you to fight."
When Wang Ming finished his words, he stepped down suddenly and his whole body turned into white smoke and disappeared on the river.
Chu Xisheng frowned slightly when he saw this.
He sensed the fate of this Crazy Sword King and did not stay away.
