The person supervising the battle for Chu Xisheng and Chu Ming was still the 'Purple Eyebrow Sword' Mu Zhaoguang.
He had been tricked by Zhu Kongming once before, but he reacted in time and joined forces with layman Sanping's heavenly and earthly servants to kill Zhu Kongming and save some reputation. However, he still lost face in front of many comrades in the world.
So when Chu Ming extended the invitation, Mu Zhaoguang agreed without hesitation, wanting to use this supervision battle to clear his name.
Just before the sparring began, Chu Ming was talking to his old servant.
"Miss, you are a little reckless!"
The old servant, who was in his seventies and had a wrinkled face, was leaning on a dragon-headed crutch and frowned deeply: "The state official has asked you to join the Wuxiang Shen Sect and then make a decision. This person can kill Zhu Kongming with one blow." , it can be seen that his sword skills and bloodline are extremely powerful, and it is definitely not a wise move to rashly start a fight before knowing his background."
Chu Ming flipped her hair indifferently: "So what? He is just a seventh-level person, and Zhu Kongming is nothing. My cultivation level is one and a half levels higher than his. If I still lose like this, then what am I called a super? Tianjiao, Bloody Sage?"
The reason why she was ranked fourth among the Ten Great Swordsmen of Shenxiu was just because she stayed in the palace all year round and did not take action often.
The daughters of the current princes and princesses would naturally not mix with those mud-legged people in the world.
Not many people in the world know her true strength.
"That's it!"
The old servant thought that the matter had come to this, and there was no possibility of stopping the discussion.
He shook his head slightly: "The speed of this kid's knife should be extremely fast. Miss can try to break it with force later."
Chu Ming nodded slightly when he heard the words.
That's what she thinks, using force to deceive others.
Although Chu Ming didn't think Chu Xisheng's strength was that high, even a three-year-old child in the world knew that "a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength".
Chu Ming will not hold back because of the contempt in her heart.
"But miss, you still have to be more careful."
The old servant glanced at the crowd around him: "Since we boarded the ship, people have been peeking at me."
Chu Ming couldn't help but feel trembling: "Is it because of my Bloody Sage?"
She didn't expect that she would be targeted as soon as she boarded this flat ship.
"no!"
The old servant shook his head, with a hint of sternness and fear in his eyes: "He is an old acquaintance of ours, a remnant left behind by the Chu family. I sensed his murderous intention towards the young lady. It seems that these people are trying to kill the young lady." I will fight the Duke to the death."
Those dozens of people were all elite dead men carefully selected by the former head of the family, and they were deeply favored by the eldest brother.
In order to protect his legitimate son Chu Zheng, the former head of the family spared no effort in cultivating these dead men.
It is said that one of them has been promoted to the third level and has a talent close to the Super Tianzhu level. He has become the most feared enemy of the Duke in recent days.
So even he has to be wary of three points.
Fortunately, the person he saw on the boat was only a minor figure among the dead men of the eldest family, and his cultivation level was only at the fourth level.
The old servant thought he could still handle it.
This should be the fact that Chu Ming was selected as the 'Blood Sage', which has not spread widely yet.
Otherwise, those people would kill Chu Ming at all costs.
Chu Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then showed his anger: "The ghost is really lingering! It is His Majesty's will that Chu Zheng and Qin Muge be married and buried in secret. How can the Chu family dare to disobey?
What's more, the way Chu Zheng looked at that time, he couldn't live for more than a few years. My father also kept his promise, not to touch Chu Zheng's body, and even provided him with good food and drink, but now they hate us? "
What's more, given the current situation, her father could only protect the entire Chu family in the west of Beijing by taking control of the two first-grade artifacts inherited by the Chu family as soon as possible.
If Chu Zheng does not die, the Chu family in the west of Beijing will definitely suffer disaster in the future, but these people only care about Chu Zheng and the eldest son.
The old servant was expressionless and didn't know how to answer.
He thought that the former head of the family was actually kind and helpful to the Duke.
After the death of the former head of the family, Chu Tathagata not only received the title of Duke of Wei, the direct descendant of the Chu family, but also inherited the Chu family's thousand-year-old family fortune in the west of Beijing, inheriting the legacy of the Chu family's family.
As a result, a year ago, the Duke did not resist when the emperor ordered Chu Zheng to be buried, but went with the flow and personally arranged the dark marriage.
This kind of character cannot be described by just four words: ungratefulness.
There is a reason why people hate the fourth room where the Duke lives, and even the entire Chu family in the west of Beijing.
Fortunately, Chu Tathagata was not a figure in the world, otherwise he would have been despised by the heroes of the world and drowned in spittle by his actions.
However, the old servant was only a servant supported by the fourth room of the Chu family, and he was only hired by the fourth room of the Chu family at the invitation of the Duke half a year ago.
It was not easy for him to comment on this matter.
Chu Ming still wanted to speak, but she saw Chu Xisheng standing in the middle of the deck, looking at her with doubts in her eyes.
Chu Ming snorted coldly, and immediately stepped forward and walked to the center of the deck, standing three feet away from Chu Xisheng.
This time Mu Zhaoguang still used copper coins.
Mu Zhaoguang flicked a copper coin engraved with Daning Tongbao, causing it to roll towards the sky.
At the same time, the 'ground servant' under Master Sanping had already reached the third floor of the stern of the ship, behind Master Sanping.
"My lord, the bet has been settled, and the amount is a bit unexpected. A total of 2.79 million taels of magic silver have been bet. More than 60% of it is on Chu Ming, and more than 30% is on Chu Xisheng."
"It's not surprising that these fourth- and fifth-grade monks have money in their pockets."
Layman Sanping crossed his arms and didn't take it seriously.
The people on his ship were all at the sixth level of cultivation.
Any magical weapon they carry is worth tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands taels. And among all the people in the world, which one doesn’t eat on the edge of a knife? Gambling is very important.
"But there is quite a lot of money bet on Chu Xisheng, which surprises me."
"The odds we offer Chu Xisheng are much higher than Chu Ming." The waiter replied with a wry smile: "I don't think this is good. One of the two people is the blood sage, and the other is the blood sage candidate. They are highly valued by the sect. It would be bad for either of these two to lose."
"No matter who wins, it's not good. Several great elders will definitely scold me when they find out." Sanping layman's expression was casual and casual: "The problem is that Chu Ming took the initiative to provoke a fight. That junior brother Chu can't back down. Should I?" Can we still stop them? In short, no matter what the outcome is, we can ensure that their lives are safe. So now I only care about their victory or defeat. Who do you think can win?"
The ground attendant shook his head: "It's hard to say. Theoretically speaking, Chu Ming should have a greater chance of winning. She is the daughter of the Duke and Princess of Wei. She has magical weapons, war patterns, martial arts heritage, and talented blood. But there are many people on the ship. I have also seen Chu Xisheng’s sword with my own eyes, and it is true that he chases wind and lightning, far beyond ordinary people, I think he has a greater chance of winning."
When the waiter said this, he looked at the account book in his hand with a slightly strange look: "From the bet, if Chu Ming wins, we can make a small profit of 320,000 taels; on the contrary, if Chu Xisheng wins, we just don't lose. If he didn’t win, the odds offered to him by the Lord might be too high.”
Layman Sanping couldn't help being slightly startled and looked sideways at Chu Xisheng. I wonder if this guy is even stronger than Chu Ming? Better than Chu Ming, who is at the sixth level of cultivation?
The heavenly servants, immortal servants and spiritual servants next to him couldn't help but look strange when they heard this.
They knew about layman Sanping's gambling luck.
Since their master practiced a secret method of luck related to the 'Pingtian Sword', most of the Sanping laymen encountered neither a win nor a loss in gambling situations.
There is a condition for the secret method of luck, which is to win ten times each in chess, drinking and gambling, or lose thirty times each.
This is a ritual, which is essentially a gamble with heaven and the gods.
Only Zong Sanping who has completed this ritual can master the near-mysterious method of breaking the wheel of fortune and mastering the balance of luck.
It's a pity that there is a force in the dark that prevents Master Sanping from achieving his wish.
No matter what Zong Sanping bets on, the final result is a draw, and it is no exception when drinking and playing chess.
Sometimes if you win in the last round, you will lose again in the next round. No matter how hard Sanping lays his hands, the game will end with no loss or loss.
Let alone winning, it would be difficult for Zong Sanping to lose.
So as soon as the three of them heard about Chu Xisheng's betting situation, an idea arose in their hearts.
My boss may have fallen into trouble again, and the 'bloody candidate' has a great chance of winning.
Just as Zong Sanping and the two servants on the ground were talking, the copper coin that Mu Zhaoguang, the Purple Eyebrow Saber, flicked out finally rolled and fell to the deck, making a muffled sound.
Chu Ming's sword drawing speed was as fast as a meteor, at least twice as fast as Zhu Kongming's.
The swords of the two men crossed each other in mid-air, making a clanging sound.
Although Chu Xisheng's sword speed was better than Chu Ming's, his strength was much inferior. He was knocked back three feet by Chu Ming's sword power.
Then Chu Ming's sword pierced forward like dots of stars, and it quickly clashed with Chu Xisheng, making a clanging sound like a forging hammer.
"You can take on my ten swords with a seventh-grade cultivation. Your sword skills and bloodline talents are indeed excellent."
Chu Ming stabbed ten times in a row, and almost every thrust forced Chu Xisheng to take a step back.
However, when Chu Xisheng retreated, he defended his position in a very organized and strict manner.
This made Chu Ming increasingly interested and motivated to fight.
Her whole body seemed to be transformed into the endless night sky, and the dots of sword light were like stars in the sky. The stars fell like rain and struck in front of Chu Xisheng.
In the blink of an eye, there are more than thirty swords in a row.
Just when Chu Xisheng was forced to retreat to forty-three steps, Chu Ming's sword power suddenly changed, and the huge White Candle Star Palace appeared behind him!
Chu Xisheng held the golden sword Jinyu Liangyuan sword in his right hand, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
There are four spirits in this world, but there are no four images.
The stars in the sky were divided by twelve giant gods and turned into twelve star palaces. The white candle is one of them, representing the power of 'gold'.
This is the most powerful move of the "All Stars Falling Sword" passed down from generation to generation of the Chu family in the west of Beijing - All Stars Falling * White Candle!
Chu Xisheng, however, looked indifferent and turned the sword into a mirror.
The Kamikaze Mirror Sword*returns to the light!
There was a clang sound between the two of them, and sparks flew everywhere.
There was a look of disbelief on Chu Ming's face.
She had been guarding against the opponent's glare reflex, but after forty-three consecutive strikes without encountering a sword power rebound, Chu Ming more or less relaxed her vigilance.
But at this time, Chu Xisheng reflected her ultimate move as it was, and mixed his true energy into it, making the Gengjin sword energy even more terrifying.
"when!"
Chu Ming was caught off guard, and he managed to resolve his "White Candle Star Falling Sword" technique only three feet away from her neck.
But before that, Chu Ming's pupils had shrunk into needle shapes.
Just because Chu Xisheng reflected her ultimate move and at the same time pulled out the jade sword, Yu Gui Jin Nai Dao with her backhand.
His left hand, which had always been motionless, moved like thunder.
Chu Ming couldn't tell what move the other party used. She only saw a flash of three-color light in front of her eyes, and it was already three feet in front of her eyebrows!
With the help of the three powers of Feng Leiyun, the jade sword was so fast that she felt chills in her heart!
"Don't even think about it!"
At this time, a short sword more than two feet long appeared in Chu Ming's left hand.
With the help of the power of the stars, her figure retreated as fast as a flash, widening the distance with all her strength, and at the same time blocked the opponent's jade sword with the dagger in her hand.
What shocked Chu Ming was that the physical skills Chu Xisheng displayed at this time were not inferior to hers.
Like light and shadow, stepping on time!
Chu Xisheng could actually control the flow of time, making it twice as slow as usual.
The jade knife also followed him like a shadow, like a gangrene attached to the bone.
Chu Ming's body speed exploded, and she retreated continuously. She slid back more than ten feet, almost to the edge of the deck, but could not get Chu Xisheng away.
Not only did she not escape, but the distance between the two parties became closer and closer.
However, Chu Ming finally blocked his dagger at the center of his eyebrows when the knife came within a foot of his eyebrows.
Chu Ming's eyes showed coldness and severity.
She didn't take precautions before, so she gave the other party an opportunity to take advantage of him.
And now, as long as she blocks this sword, the victory or defeat can be reversed!
She will use endless Starfall Swords to blast this bastard into scum.
Just the next moment, Chu Ming's expression changed.
The jade sword she blocked turned out to be just a shadow. The real jade sword appeared in front of her throat, less than an inch away.
Chu Ming had no time to react. She could only watch as the jade knife cut through her protective aura and stopped in front of her throat.
The opponent's control of the power was not very stable. It was not until the blade penetrated her throat two centimeters that it stopped, causing a line of blood to spill out of her skin.
"Accepted!"
Chu Xisheng wished he could chop off Chu Ming's head with a knife, but he suppressed his hatred and stopped.
He smiled slightly and put the Golden Jade Liangyuan Swords in his left and right hands into their sheaths: "There are forty-four moves in total. You are the fourth among the Ten Great Swordsmen of Shenxiu, but you are much better than Zhu Kongming."
Chu Ming clenched her teeth when she heard this, almost grinding her silver teeth into pieces.
She doesn't often compete with others, but she never likes the feeling of losing!
Especially when the people watching the battle around were making noises, lamenting, or talking happily, Chu Ming's face turned even red, and she felt that she was extremely humiliated.
"The fourth of the so-called Shenxiu Ten Elite Swordsmen, the unparalleled genius of the Chu family in the west of Beijing, seems to be nothing more than that."
"This time there is really a powerful person in Dongzhou. Even Chu Ming is no match for her. She is the 79th on the Qingyun Ranking——"
"The scary thing is that this person's cultivation level is only below the seventh level! Judging from his talent, he will definitely reach the Tianzhu level in the future."
"Once this person arrives in Youzhou, could it be that he once again crushed Heluo with swords and subdued the capital?"
"I don't know how the next issue of Martial Divine Machinery and Tianji Martial Arts will be ranked? The young prodigies in the entire Northland will be uneasy."
"Damn it! I lost money again. This Chu Ming's cultivation and swordsmanship are quite good, but in actual combat he is as scumbag as shit."
When these comments reached Chu Ming's ears, it was like sharp knives piercing her heart.
Chu Ming's eyes gradually showed a star-white luster, her hand holding the sword became tighter and tighter, and her aura was as cold as ice.
This offal——
But at this time, Mu Zhaoguang, the 'Purple Eyebrow Sword', placed his five-ring sword between the two of them.
Mu Zhaoguang's voice was cold and he looked at Chu Ming with a warning look: "Chu Ming, you have lost!"
He would not watch Chu Ming break the rules of the world, even if this woman was the daughter of the current prince.
Chu Ming woke up and her hand holding the sword relaxed slightly.
Then she became even more furious.
Does Mu Zhaoguang, the Purple Eyebrow Swordsman, think she can't afford to lose?
He said such words to shame her in public.
She snorted, sheathed her sword immediately, and walked straight towards the gangway.
She didn't want to stay on this deck for a moment. The looks from the people around her made her feel uncomfortable.
The seventy-year-old servant did not follow him immediately. He looked at Chu Xisheng's figure with an extremely solemn gaze.
The candidate chosen by the Wuxiang Divine Sect was actually far more difficult than what he and the Duke had judged.
The lady's strength alone may not be able to subdue him.
The layman Sanping on the stern of the ship put his hand on his forehead and couldn't bear to look directly.
"It's self-defeating! Is this the Bloody Sage chosen by the sect?"
He originally thought he could make a windfall this time to somewhat make up for his losses.
This time, in order to make room for Chu Xisheng and Chu Ming, he lost at least 500,000 taels of magic silver.
By the way, he can also gain a gambling victory.
In the end, he got nothing because of the odds he set.
"My lord, the Bloody Sword Master was defeated more than ten times before he created the Divine Will Touching Death Sword. He is not invincible."
The Spirit Attendant was a woman in her thirties. She looked at Chu Xisheng and admired slightly: "Today's battle is not that Chu Ming is too weak, but that the candidate of the Blood Emperor is too strong. It's a pity -"
It's a pity that no matter how strong Chu Xisheng is now, he is only a candidate for blood. If he cannot cultivate the complete Divine Will Touch Death Knife, he will eventually succumb to Chu Ming in the future.
"It's a pity indeed."
Sanping layman also sighed.
The things he regretted in his heart were different from those of his spiritual attendant.
Jian Zangfeng said that Chu Xisheng's talent could lead to him cultivating a sage.
Zong Sanping did not doubt his friend's words.
But so what?
Even the 'Zhutian Shengzhuan', who is said to be unparalleled in killing, is unable to deal with the disaster of ten thousand demons in the North.
And Zong Sanping also looked down upon the future 'Blood Sage'.
With her kind of mind, can she really cultivate the Bloody Sword Lord's divine will-touching death sword?
Zong Sanping's distracting thoughts immediately stopped, and he saw a black cloud floating in front of him.
The area of the dark clouds is getting bigger and bigger, almost blocking the way of the ship.
Thunder and lightning flashed inside, and the clouds rolled, as if there was an ancient ferocious beast hiding, choosing people to devour.
"Here we go again." Zong Sanping raised his eyebrows, with a cold and stern look on his face: "It's like gangrene attached to the bones, it won't go away. The four of you go make some preparations, there might be another big battle this time."
When the Heavenly Server heard this, his heart trembled: "Lord, are we not going to avoid it this time?"
"No need to avoid it, let's force our way through." Zong Sanping looked coldly: "I want to see if they have the guts to take action against us. Zong is worried that my ship will be damaged if the battle breaks out, but he is not afraid of them. These little bastards who hide their heads and show their tails."
※※※※
When Chu Xisheng sheathed her sword, she found that more than a hundred blood points had been recorded in her character panel.
Most of the people watching the battle today were fourth- and fifth-level martial arts cultivators.
The stronger the people who recognize his strength, the more blood points the system will give Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng then discovered that Lu Luanli was standing at the bow of the ship, looking ahead intently.
Chu Xisheng walked over with curiosity: "Luanli, what are you looking at?"
"Looking at the black cloud ahead."
Lu Luanli's face was solemn, and he pointed forward with his tender fingers: "There may be a great master hidden inside. In the past few days during your retreat, this black cloud has appeared in front of you several times. The flat ship we are on The skyship kept trying to avoid it, so the voyage was delayed for several days.”
Ye Zhiqiu was nearby, and she wanted to praise Chu Xisheng and point out his shortcomings in swordsmanship.
After hearing this, she immediately used spiritual vision to observe from a distance.
Then her face became more and more solemn.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't see what was going on in the cloud, but he could vaguely sense that there was some third-grade aura in it——
Chu Xisheng was also focused and looked at the black cloud dozens of miles away.
Maybe because he was too far away, his supreme telepathy didn't work, so he couldn't see anything unusual.
It was just a thundercloud.
However, this cloud could force even Sanping laymen to give in. Ye Zhiqiu and Lu Luanli were both on alert, as there was probably a great master hidden inside.
Chu Xisheng then looked towards Chu Yunyun covertly.
If everything is uncertain, just ask Yunyun.
"This cloud shouldn't be coming towards us." Chu Yunyun glanced at the black cloud and spoke softly.
"Master Sanping's Pingtian Sword has become extremely powerful, and its strength is even higher than that of Jian Zangfeng. This Pingtian Ship is a super-large second-grade magical weapon, which can increase the combat power of him and his Taoist servants by one level. Blessed with two levels of cultivation. Unless he is a first-level master, nothing can be done to him today."
She evaluated truthfully and spoke her own opinion.
Lu Luanli and Ye Zhiqiu, who were standing next to them, didn't take it seriously, saying that this was just the personal opinion of Chu Yunyun, a little magician.
Ye Zhiqiu even smiled bitterly. She didn't understand why Chu Yunyun wanted to pull out the Jian Zangfeng to compare?
Sanping layman is regarded as the "Sacred Legend of Pingtian", and his combat power is naturally far superior to that of Jian Zangfeng.
Chu Xisheng was calm.
Since Chu Yunyun said it was okay, then it must be okay.
He walked straight towards the gangway, preparing to stay in seclusion for a few more days.
Now except for ways to improve his cultivation and refresh his treasure house, he is not interested in anything else.
Chu Xisheng just wanted to take the secret medicine as soon as possible, and then develop the bloodline talent he wanted.
This talent can not only greatly increase his strength, but also increase his longevity.
But just as he passed by Zhou Liangchen, Chu Xisheng remembered something.
He slapped Zhou Liangchen hard on the shoulder and used the 'Xueyidaojun template card (50% off version)' on Zhou Liangchen.
"Good minister, have you seen the Taoist servants around Chu Ming? Practice hard and don't slack off."
Zhou Liangchen was confused and thought that Chu Xisheng felt pressured by Chu Ming's four sixth-grade Taoist servants.
He nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Lord, Zhou will definitely go all out to catch up."
Chu Ming's Taoist servants all have genius-level qualifications.
Zhou Liangchen thought that as Chu Xisheng's most trusted arm, he couldn't stretch his hips.
In fact, like Chu Xisheng these days, he spent most of his time in his room practicing.
※※※※
Lu Luanli's perception was correct. There was indeed a master hidden in that black cloud, and there was more than one.
Deep in the clouds, 'Burning Hand' Huo Shaotian, wearing a blood armor, was standing in the sky, looking at the Pingtian ship approaching in the distance.
There was a mocking look on his lips: "Interesting! The Blood-Ya Sage of the Wuxiang Divine Sect actually lost to the Blood-Ya Candidate."
"This woman's swordsmanship skills are very good, but it's a pity that her fighting skills are too bad, otherwise it would be difficult for them to win or lose."
This was a feminine female voice, and she said with doubts: "But judging from this battle, I don't see her qualifications for practicing the Yazhan Sword."
"The nine levels of spiritual light in the Jiajuan Pan should not be fake. She originally practiced the 'Innate Star Technique' and the 'Stars Falling Sword' of the Chu family in the west of Beijing. Naturally, she couldn't see the truth before she switched to the Jiajuan Sword."
This is another voice, hoarse and vicissitudes of life: "This woman is originally a super genius, and her cultivation level is already very good. If she does not have the qualifications for the Blood Yai Sword, Chu Tulai and his wife will not let her take the risk of changing cultivation."
The feminine female voice sneered: "That's why I'm worried about Chu Tathagata and his wife and the Emperor standing behind her. Look at the Wuxiang Divine Sect, they are worried about it. Their special envoy of the Bloody Eye is still looking for him. Chu Ming is not given an identity now."
At this time, her voice changed and she said solemnly: "What I care about more now is Chu Xisheng. Is this son really just a candidate? In terms of martial arts talent alone, he is not inferior to Chu Ming at all, even More potential.”
"It's true that he has great potential, but it's a pity that he only has the blood of the White Tiger."
'Burning Sky Hand' Huo Shaotian nodded slightly, and then raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I heard a news that the Wuxiang Divine Sect is in the north, trying its best to find the 'Heaven and Earth Root'."
"The root of heaven and earth?" A hoarse and vicissitudes voice whispered: "Is it the legendary root of heaven and earth that can forcibly exchange the talent of blood? They want to replace Chu Xisheng's white tiger bloodline with Yaizhan bloodline? Hey, this is the Wuxiang Divine Sect. Cultivate this blood-fighting candidate as a saint."
"Chu Xisheng was born in the Zhengyang Martial Arts School and has a clean family background. He is one of their own, so his treatment is naturally different from Chu Ming. As long as they have a glimmer of hope to help Chu Xisheng change his bloodline, they will not place bets on Chu Ming. However, the 'Heaven and Earth Root' has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. How easy is it for them to exchange talents for Chu Xisheng?"
'Burning Hand' Huo Shaotian shook his head disapprovingly and continued to look at the Pingtian ship ahead.
He narrowed his eyes and said with concentration: "Zong Sanping seems to be trying to force his way in. What do you two think? To fight or not to fight?"
