"Seventeen!" Chu Xiang shouted, but there were only seventeen people in Kongtong.
"There are three people in my generation, one person in my master's generation, and one grandmaster. The two best ones started earlier, and the others were accepted after the war." Wu Mingzi said.
Kongtong, such a big mountain, gives the impression that even if there are not as many people as the Emei sect, there must be dozens of people. Unexpectedly, there are only seventeen people in total, and ten people entered the door after the great changes. Not only Chu Xiang Jie did not expect it, and Sun Yulou also did not expect it.
"Fortunately." Chu Xiang let out a long breath.
"Fortunately for what?" Wumingzi didn't understand.
"Fortunately there are so few people. If there were more people, the place would be full of ignorant people, and there would be nowhere for us to hang out."
Wu Mingzi was a little dumbfounded. Although Chu Xiang's words were praising him, it still felt weird and seemed to be hurting him.
"Leave all your treasure with me, aren't you afraid of losing everything?" Chu Xiang said.
"I'm here." Wumingzi said.
An ordinary sentence, four ordinary words, but it reveals absolute confidence and extraordinary domineering.
"Okay, it turns out you've thought about it a long time ago." Chu Xiang jumped to his feet, thinking he had picked up a treasure, but he didn't expect that he had been planning to stay here for a long time. Not only did his plan fail, but he also lost face.
Sun Yulou laughed. Wu Mingzi looked a bit dull and rigid, but he turned out to be a scheming guy. Not only did he not fall into Chu Xiang's plan, he actually outdid himself and defeated that guy.
Staring at Wu Mingzi fiercely, Chu Xiang sent a message to Cao Zhengde at the foot of the mountain: "Zhengde, please arrange the work of the fellow Taoist from Kongtong."
"I want to send a letter of challenge to the enemy, who dares to help me deliver it?" Chu Xiang said, his voice spreading throughout the mountain.
Afternoon! Wu Mingzi and Sun Yulou were both a little curious about what kind of challenge Chu Xiang was going to give to the other party.
The war has just ended, and both sides are on high alert. If you had issued a challenge in the past, you might have been killed by the other party at any time. This is a life-threatening job, and there is no chance of saving your life. It only depends on whether the other party wants to kill the person who issued the challenge.
Who dares to go on such a mission? This is a true gamble of life, a gamble of almost death. Maybe you will be killed by the enemy's lurkers on the way before you even see the enemy. After all, this is a war period. Who knows what you have announced? Why do you want to come here? Of course, you have to kill first.
No one said anything for a while. As expected, Wu Mingzi saw that no one dared to go, so he said, "Let me go."
"No need." Chu Xiang shook his head.
As soon as Chu Xiang finished speaking, someone at the foot of the mountain said, "Master, I'll go."
Wu Mingzi and Sun Yulou were both a little surprised that someone had such courage. They were a little curious about who was so brave. Even if they sent a letter of challenge in the past, they might not be able to come back. There are at least two virtual realm masters on the opposite side, and the Danjin level has passed. Just like roast chicken delivered to your door.
"Very good." Chu Xiang praised, then he cut off a piece of wood and wrote on it: "You dare to have a fair confrontation head-on."
Hearing the sound of fingers scratching on the wooden board, catching the strokes of Chu Xiang's writing, and knowing what words Chu Xiang wrote, Sun Yulou and Wu Mingzi were shocked by Chu Xiang's unconstrained thoughts.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has never been such a gentleman's way of fighting in the world. In ancient times, there were only a few cases where military commanders fought in single combat, and they were all based on defeating the opponent. Chu Xiang's one-on-one challenge was different. It was just a pure one-on-one challenge, which had almost no impact on the battlefield situation. Moreover, he had just attacked and killed someone in a sneak attack, and now he actually wanted to send people to each other for a fair duel with the enemy. This 180-degree confrontation The turning point almost twisted the waists of Wu Mingzi and Sun Yulou.
Throwing the plank down the mountain, Chu Xiang reminded him
: "Catch."
The plank fell right in front of the man who volunteered to declare a challenge. The brave subordinate of Jiangwutang caught the plank, took a look at it, and went directly to the enemy's defense line.
Sun Yulou and Wu Mingzi were very curious and jumped to the treetops to see who this warrior who was not afraid of death was. However, the trees blocked the view and could not see the warrior's appearance. They could only sense his breath moving forward.
"Who is he?" Sun Yulou couldn't help but ask.
"You can be considered my apprentice." Chu Xiang said.
"Oh! Do you still have apprentices?" Sun Yulou was a little curious.
"Having taught him twice, does he count as a disciple?" Chu Xiang said.
"Forget it." Sun Yulou nodded.
"The Demon King's disciples are all over the world." Wu Mingzi said.
"That's true." Sun Yulou said, smiling knowingly.
Sun Yulou was just about to tease Chu Xiang, but he didn't expect that Wu Mingzi had a clear understanding and said it so cleverly, and he immediately felt sympathy for each other.
"I've heard for a long time that fellow Taoist Wu Mingzi's swordsmanship can lead to the gods. Sun has been itching for a long time. Could you please give me some advice?" Sun Yulou said.
"Mr. Sun's sword attack will destroy everything in the sea, that's exactly what he meant." Wu Mingzi said.
"Then Sun will be embarrassed." Sun Yulou said, pressing the hilt of his sword and saying the word "please", he saw countless sword energy as small as fish scales pouring out continuously, rolling towards the two of them like rehearsed bees. The treetops in the middle.
Wu Mingzi pointed his fingers together and cut off the sword energy's path to the treetops. As if the sword energy was alive, it suddenly turned back 180 degrees, bypassing the cutoff position, and rushed towards the treetops from all sides.
Wu Mingzi's sword finger kept slashing down, seventeen times in a row. The sea of sword energy rushing towards the treetops from all directions seemed to be trapped in a cage. No matter how around it, the seventeen sword energy could not be bypassed.
"Seconds." Sun Yulou praised, the sword energy sea changed again, gathered and swirled like a drill, and instantly broke through the sword energy blocking the road.
Wu Mingzi drew his sword finger again, and the sword energy as big as a toothpick continued to hit the spiral sword energy sea, and even broke the sword energy spiral.
The two competed in the air. The sword energy between the two people was coming and going, and their moves were unpredictable, but they did not damage any branches or leaves of the surrounding trees. After a while, Wu Mingzi finally couldn't stop Sun Yulou's sea of sword energy, and the treetops were destroyed. The sword energy is cut off.
"It's really exquisite." Wu Mingzi praised.
"Kongtong's swordsmanship leads to the gods." Sun Yulou praised.
"Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist Sun." Wu Mingzi said, pointing out that the sword energy, as thin as a toothpick, shot straight into the treetops, forming a continuous line, as if a rope was shooting towards the treetops.
The sword qi sea reappeared, and countless sword qi surrounded the treetops, completely covering the treetops. The sword qi emitted by Wu Mingzi was constantly defeated by the tentacles of the sword qi sea.
Wu Mingzi's sword energy was upright and unyielding, and they all hit the sea of sword energy straight away. The two suppressed the true energy, and did not compete with the strength of the sword energy. Instead, they competed with each other's sword energy moves, using exquisite moves to compete. , try to find ways to deal with them.
Not long after, Wu Mingzi used seventeen sword qi to surround the Jian Qi Sea, losing Sun Yulou's control. The Jian Qi Sea was defeated by Wu Mingzi and successfully cut off the treetops.
While the two were sparring with swordsmanship, Chu Xiang was lying on the snow, already in a state of mind.
Become rich and noble, and be rich forever. Isn't it destined to be named like this? It shouldn't just be impossible to come back.
Time seemed to pass a long time. After the sparring, the two of them cherished each other and talked about the art of swordsmanship. They seemed to have endless things to say, and they had long ignored Chu Xiang's existence.
"Back." Sun Yulou suddenly said. The two people who were talking about swordsmanship looked down the mountain, and two figures leaped up the tree one after the other.
Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Chu Xiang didn't want those two people to
People saw his worried look. Although Zhong Fugui was not close to him, he still had high hopes for him. He was a half-disciple, so of course he was worried that he would not come back.
"The Demon King's vision is indeed extraordinary, and his apprentice is also an extraordinary person." Sun Yulou praised.
"Indeed, we in Kongtong will never accept such a disciple." Wu Mingzi nodded.
A migrant worker looks like an old man in his fifties or sixties. He is not very smart and has no skills at all. Which sect would accept such a disciple. If Wu Mingzi and Sun Yulou knew that Zhong Fugui was illiterate and stubborn, they would probably not accept such a disciple.
Zhong Fugui volunteered himself, went deep into the enemy camp and returned, giving Chu Xiang a face like this. How could such a thing not be publicized? Chu Xiang raised his voice and said: "Zhong Fugui volunteered, went into the enemy camp alone and came back. His courage is commendable. When I’ll set an example for you.”
When everyone at the foot of the mountain heard Chu Xiang's words, they shouted Zhong Fugui's name one after another and shouted in unison. The three characters of Zhong Fugui echoed across the mountains for a long time.
Zhong Fugui does not lack resilience or perseverance, but he lacks self-confidence. When among everyone, he often seems invisible. Chu Xiang's move is to make him more confident and no longer feel inferior because of his poor background, so that he can stand out among everyone. Under the gaze, he straightened his back and accepted the praise.
"What does the other party want to do?" Wu Mingzi asked.
"Of course it's to spy on the enemy. Didn't you see that Lord Demon Lord has already demonstrated?" Sun Yulou said.
Wu Mingzi nodded: "No matter what you want to do here, the first purpose must be to spy on our situation."
Zhong Fugui had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. The thunderous shout just now made him very excited. This was the first time he felt the respect of everyone. Before he could calm down his excitement, Chu Xiangyang said in a loud voice: "Fugui, how are you? "
"They agreed to a fair fight." Zhong Fugui said loudly.
A fair fight? After everyone heard Zhong Fugui's words, they were very curious about what unreasonable decision the hall master had made, and they immediately started talking.
"Very good." Chu Xiangdao then asked, "What is he here for?"
"They want to take back the body of the man who can use thunder and lightning." Zhong Fugui said.
"Zhengde, take the body of that thunder and lightning monk back to him." Chu Xiangyang said.
"Yes, Hall Master." Cao Zhengde responded.
"Zhong Fugui went deep into the enemy camp and successfully completed the mission. He will be credited with first-class merit." Chu Xiang said loudly.
As soon as Chu Xiang finished speaking, he was afraid that everyone would not understand what he meant, so he immediately sent a message to Fang Xiang: "Shout mightily."
Fang Xiang received the message from Chu Xiang, understood what Chu Xiang meant, and immediately shouted: "Mighty, mighty." Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound shook the surrounding areas and echoed in the mountains.
Of course, Chu Xiang did not let the other party's envoy go up the mountain. The other party was obviously here to spy on the military situation. How could he let him know the situation here? Cao Zhengde found the monk's body to the envoy and sent him back.
"Fugui, have you seen their virtual realm master or the person in charge?" Chu Xiang sent a message to Zhong Fugui.
"No, I'm just waiting at the foot of the mountain." Zhong Fugui said.
"Okay. You go down and rest first." Chu Xiang said.
"The matter is done, what do you think we should do next?" Chu Xiang asked Wu Mingzi and Sun Yulou.
"Isn't it all under your control?" Sun Yulou looked sideways at Chu Xiangdao.
"I'll ask you if I've already thought about it." Chu Xiang scolded.
"Lord Demon Lord is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, but you don't even think about this little thing. This is a bit inconsistent with your status." Wu Mingzi didn't know when he became the same enemy as Sun Yulou.
