"Zhang Xiaopeng, the city gate has been opened for you, do you dare to come?!"
Following the shout at the city gate, Zhang Xiaopou felt a feeling of extreme danger suddenly come over him, making him tremble uncontrollably.
He saw the octagonal heavy crossbows and the octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbows on the city wall all aiming towards him.
The thundering flame horse also felt the danger, kicked the ground with all four hooves, and became restless.
Zhang Xiaozu patted the thundering flame horse's neck to calm its uneasy mood, then looked at the open city gate and shouted loudly: "Why don't you dare?"
After saying that, he lightly knocked on the horse's belly with his legs, urging the Thundering Flame Horse to walk slowly towards the city gate.
Tap tap tap——
The huge hooves of the thundering flame horse made firm and powerful sounds on the yellow sand road.
Woo——!
A rapid and sharp explosion suddenly sounded in the air.
This is the sound of the octagonal heavy crossbow arrows breaking through the air.
boom!
The dark and thick crossbow arrow passed Zhang Xiaopeng at arm's length, and was shot on the Huangsha Avenue. The arrow's body was completely buried in the ground.
Zhang Xiaozu was calm and composed from beginning to end, and even had a smile on his lips.
His subtle state of mind has long been focused on every heavy crossbow on the city wall, so the moment the heavy crossbow was launched, he judged that the crossbow arrow could not hit him, so he was not afraid.
Of course, it's not that the opponent's accuracy is too bad and he can't aim at such a close distance, but that the opponent doesn't want to kill him, but just wants to scare him and make him look embarrassed.
It's a pity that Zhang Xiaozu's calmness and calmness made their dirty thoughts come to nothing, and they couldn't see the interesting scenes they wanted to see.
"It won't work like this. His reaction can't keep up with the speed of the crossbow. When he reacts, the crossbow has already hit the ground. He doesn't even have time to be afraid." A Cang man on the city wall shook his head and said.
Another man from the Cang family next to him sneered and said, "Then let him listen to the beautiful sound of the heavy crossbow being cocked first."
After speaking, he gave instructions to the crossbowman not far away.
Creak - creak -
The head-numbing sound of the crossbow string turning and tightening sounded on the city wall, and was clearly transmitted to Zhang Xiaopou's ears.
Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but sneer. He could clearly hear the conversation between the two people on the city wall.
Woo——!
String the crossbow, load the arrows, and fire.
boom!
The crossbow arrow shot over Zhang Xiaopou's head, only half an arm's length away from his head. The strong wind brought by the crossbow arrow made his clothes rustle.
Tap tap tap——
Zhang Xiaozu drove forward slowly on his thundering and flaming horse. There was no trace of panic from beginning to end, and he didn't even bother to blink his eyelids.
In fact, even if he didn't hear the conversation between the two Cang family members on the city wall, he wouldn't be afraid.
When the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.
He was sure that the Cang family would not do anything stupid that would disgrace Cang Yihai's reputation.
This is also the reason why he dared to come and submit a letter of challenge today.
But if he doesn't kill, he won't kill. It's probably not easy to hand over the letter of challenge in his hand.
Just like the masters of the six sects of Northern Xinjiang want to challenge Butcher Zhang, if they don't defeat Butcher Zhang's apprentices, they are not qualified to challenge him.
The same reason applies to Zhang Tufu's desire to challenge Cang Yihai. If he doesn't show enough ability, how can Cang Yihai accept the challenge?
It's just that Zhang Tufu has lost all his cultivation, and the pill Su Hanlin gave him can only restore his cultivation for twelve hours, so this challenge can only be delivered by Zhang Xiaopeng.
Of course, Butcher Zhang could have ignored martial ethics and taken the elixir and just came to kill him with a knife, forcing Cang Yihai to fight, but he didn't do that.
This was the last battle of his life, and he wanted to make it official.
It is also a sign of respect for the saint.
The two crossbow arrows failed to scare Zhang Xiaopeng, leaving the two Cang family members at the city gate stunned. Although they were angry, they were embarrassed to fire a third crossbow arrow at Zhang Xiaopeng, and Zhang Xiaopeng had already walked to the city gate. Entering the shooting blind spot of the heavy crossbow.
drive!
A fast horse rushed out of the city gate and stopped at the city gate. A young man about the same age as Zhang Xiaopou stood up and blocked Zhang Xiaopou's path.
Zhang Xiaozu knew this person, having seen him at the award ceremony, and vaguely remembered that his name was Cang Jiulong.
"Zhang Xiaopeng, how dare your grandfather speak so brazenly to challenge my Saint Ancestor? Don't you know that all Saints are just ants?" Cang Jiulong shouted angrily.
Zhang Xiaozu responded: "My grandfather has already reached the holy realm. Otherwise, how dare he touch the power of the Sword Saint?"
Cang Jiulong was shocked when he heard this. It took him a while to calm down and asked, "Why doesn't he come by himself?"
"This kind of errands will naturally have to be done by juniors like me, right?" Zhang Xiaozu asked with a smile.
"That's true, just be afraid -" Cang Jiulong's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said, "The Cang family's tea has been prepared, it just depends on whether you can drink it."
The implication is to ask Zhang Xiaopou if he has the ability to put the war letter on the Cang family's table.
"The tea is ready, how dare you not drink it?" Zhang Xiaozu responded.
The Cang Jiulong sword pointed at Zhang Xiaopeng and shouted: "If you have any ability, just let your horse come over."
drive!
Zhang Xiaozu clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the Thundering Flame Horse suddenly rushed forward.
Cang Jiulong also charged forward with his horse.
The two were less than a hundred steps apart, and they were right in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly jumped forward from his horse and punched Cang Jiulong.
Cang Jiulong refused to evade, slashed through the air with his long sword, and slashed at Zhang Xiaopeng's head, trying to cut him in half.
boom!
The fists and knives collided, and Cang Jiulong's long knife was thrown away from his hands. The man and his horse were knocked to the ground by Zhang Xiaopou's fist, and then rolled and fell back dozens of steps, in a very embarrassed state.
Zhang Xiaopeng fell back on his horse, raised his hands to Cang Jiulong, who climbed up from the ground, and said, "I accept."
Cang Jiulong looked embarrassed. He never expected that Zhang Xiaozu's fighting power would be so terrifying. However, he was not someone who couldn't afford to lose. He bowed his hands in admiration to Zhang Xiaozu and said, "I am willing to accept the defeat! Your Excellency, go forward 800 steps and turn left. I wish you good luck." !”
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaozu said politely and galloped forward on his horse.
According to Cang Jiulong's words, after entering the city gate, he walked 800 steps and then turned left, but then he reined in his horse and stopped.
In the middle of the road ahead, standing in the middle of the road, was a man in gray clothes, about fifty years old, blocking the way.
The man stood with his sword in hand. When he saw Zhang Xiaopou arriving, he looked slightly surprised. He seemed not to have expected Zhang Xiaopou to arrive so quickly.
He quickly looked at Zhang Xiaopou, then clasped his fists and said, "Cang family, Cang Bawan, are waiting for you!"
"Da Su, Zhang Xiaozu, please give me some advice." Zhang Xiaozu returned the gesture with his fists clasped.
The word "Dasu" indicates his position.
Canglang!
Cang Bawan drew his sword out of its sheath, and his aura instantly became violent, like a beast out of its cage. He shouted at Zhang Xiaopeng: "Let's take action!"
"Look at the punch!"
Zhang Xiaopou didn't waste any time, he jumped up from his horse and rushed towards Cang Bawan, his fist wrapped in seven-color Hunyuan force and blasted out.
It seems like a simple punch, but in fact it contains thousands of changes, and it is not easy to avoid it.
But Cang Bawan had no intention of dodging.
A gentleman's sword, a madman's sword.
His knife wouldn't allow him to dodge.
The long sword was raised high above the head, the sword was tilted behind the body, and the sword was slashed out with rounded arms.
The world and the earth share the same life span, and the sea changes with one sword.
"Just One Sword" is the unique skill of the Cang family.
boom!
Zhang Xiaozu's fist was as powerful as a broken bamboo. As soon as it collided, it tore Cang Bawan's sword into pieces, and then slammed into Cang Bawan's arms against the blade.
The back of the knife hit Cang Bawan's chest, causing his sternum to shatter with a crack. He vomited blood and flew backwards with the knife.
Zhang Xiaozu secretly apologized, and with the help of the repulsive force of the collision, he flew back onto his horse, cupped his fists toward Cang Bawan and said, "I give in!"
He can also do "Just One Sword", and he can do it no worse than Cang Bawan. Cang Bawan used this move to deal with him, which was exactly what he wanted, making him feel a little outmatched.
"I admire you!" Cang Bawan clasped his fists and admitted defeat, moved out of the way, and said: "Go forward five hundred steps, turn right! Please!"
Zhang Xiaopeng clasped his fists and galloped forward on his horse.
Cang Bawan watched Zhang Xiaozu go away, and then looked down at his broken hands and tiger's mouth. His heart was filled with unprecedented shock, and he was frightened by Zhang Xiaozu's terrifying power.
Go forward five hundred steps and turn right.
Zhang Xiaozu stopped again.
Just like before, someone blocked the road.
The man blocking the road had an old face and gray hair, and was in his sixties or seventies.
He calmly looked at Zhang Xiaopeng and said, "Red horse in red clothes, are you Zhang Xiaopeng who came to hand over the letter of challenge?"
"Yes, I am." Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
"You are very good at passing two levels so quickly. Cang family, Cang Qiqi, are waiting for you!" The old man Cang Qiqi said to Zhang Xiaopou with his hands clasped in his fists. He did not despise Zhang Xiaopou because of his youth.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Da Su, Zhang Xiaozu, please teach me!" Zhang Xiaozu returned the greeting with clasped fists.
Cang Qiqi raised his hand and pulled out a knife from the void space, looked at Zhang Xiaopou and said, "Let's make a move."
Zhang Xiaozu jumped up from his horse and rushed towards Cang Qiqi. He used the same moves as Cang Jiulong and Cang Bawan and punched them.
when!
Cang Qiqi slashed out with his long sword. The force of the sword was strong and powerful, like a surging river, surging stars, like the Milky Way flowing backwards, blocking Zhang Xiaopou's fist.
Zhang Xiaozu's body flew upside down and he slapped his palms twice more to neutralize the remaining power of the sword.
He fell back on his horse.
Cang Qi abandoned his spot and did not move, but his feet crushed the bluestone bricks more than three feet thick on the ground and sank into the ground.
He pulled his feet out of the pit and took a step forward.
Zhang Xiaozu put his hand on the horse's back, and his body rose into the air again. This time he rushed a little higher, and then he dived down towards Cang Qiqi, and before he got close, he moved his fists together.
Bang bang bang——!
The air was impacted by his fists, causing deafening explosions to sound.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Cang Qiqi's mouth, feeling that Zhang Xiaozu's attack moves were really boring.
He waved his arm and swept out the sword, smashing all the punches from Zhang Xiaopeng, and then returned the sword with his backhand and slashed at Zhang Xiaopeng.
Ding!
The five fingers of Zhang Xiaopou's left hand turned into claws, and they grabbed Cang Qiqi's blade.
Cang Qiqi was suddenly frightened, and then he realized that Zhang Xiaozu's seemingly boring fist attack just now was actually buffering the power of his sword, paving the way for this move to capture the sword with his bare hands.
boom!
Zhang Xiaozu's right fist hit Cang Qiqi head-on. Cang Qiqi drew the knife with his right hand, trying to break free from Zhang Xiaozu's five fingers. At the same time, he met Zhang Xiaozu's fist with his left fist.
But the next moment, all the hairs on his body suddenly started to stand up, as if someone had stepped on his tail. He kicked the ground with both feet, released the handle of the knife with his right hand, didn't want the knife anymore, and retreated violently backwards.
Because he suddenly discovered that the toe of Zhang Xiaozu's right foot was less than an inch away from his Dantian Qi Sea, he realized that all Zhang Xiaozu's moves were illusions, and they were all used to cover up this attack, and he was fooled. He didn't even notice when Zhang Xiaozu made his move.
He did not dare to use his Dantian Qihai to forcefully receive Zhang Xiaopou's kick, because he had already experienced Zhang Xiaopou's strength and knew that he would not be able to receive the kick in a hurry, so he could only abandon the sword and retreat.
Zhang Xiaozu shook his left wrist, and the long knife spun in his hand, and the handle fell into his hand. He held the handle, with the tip of the knife a little on the ground, and his body immediately stopped falling, and used his strength to move back. Leap and fall back on the horse.
He threw the knife back to Cang Qiqi, cupped his hand and said, "I accept it!"
"The younger generation is to be feared, and the old man is ashamed of himself!"
Cang Qiqi caught the flying saber and returned the favor to Zhang Xiaopou.
As a swordsman, he had nothing to say except admitting defeat when his opponent snatched the sword with his bare hands, and he had no shame to say anything more.
"Go forward a thousand steps and turn right to the Cang Family Gate!
There are two more levels ahead.
please! "
Cang Qi gave way to the roadside.
Zhang Xiaozu rode forward. Cang Jiulong, Cang Bawan and Cang Qiqi's attitude of being able to lose changed his impression of the Cang family.
After walking a thousand steps forward and turning right, Zhang Xiaopou's vision suddenly opened up, and a wide square appeared in front of him.
There was an old man with a long beard and white hair, holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, standing in the middle of the square.
Zhang Xiaozu looked past the old man and towards the palace across the square. He didn't need to look at the door plaque under the towering gatehouse to know that this palace, which was no smaller than the imperial palace, must belong to the Cang family.
Boom!
Seeing Zhang Xiaopeng galloping forward, the old man knocked the tail of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand on the ground. He stroked his long beard with his left hand and yelled angrily: "Take my five knives and you can go over. If you can't catch it, just leave your head." Bar!"
"Da Su, Zhang Xiaopeng, I'm offended!" Zhang Xiaopou bowed his hands in salute, and without saying any nonsense, he directly jumped into the air and pounced on the long-bearded old man.
"Hmph!" The old man roared angrily, lifted and released his right hand, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife flew up from the ground. When the tail of the knife flew above his head, he grabbed it with his right hand, and then slashed at Zhang Xiaopeng who was rushing towards him. .
