There is a saying that art comes from life.
In the section where Gu Mingkong and Qin Cu join forces, Xiao Qi's inspiration for writing came from the Chapman family's fight for the right to inherit the throne. Like the four sons of the Qiao family in reality, these two also followed the path of eliminating dissidents and fighting the final battle within themselves.
In this competition for the divine treasure, rules have long been established in the world: top-notch and super-top martial arts masters are not allowed to directly participate in the treasure hunt.
That means that the super master's disciples, subordinates and even heirs can be sent to the capital at will, but the master himself can't come and be punished.
The rules of the world must be followed, but Gu Mingkong broke them. However, he didn't care, even if he failed to obtain the sacred treasure to make a wish, with his strength among the top three in the world, no one would really dare to talk to Gu Mingkong in person, and at most they would stab him in the back.
Can someone be killed by poking the spine?
The sanctions other martial arts sects can only target the Xi Jian Sect. But after becoming a demon, Gu Mingkong only focused on the pursuit of martial arts. He no longer valued the sect as much as before, and the Xi Sword Sect was dispensable to him. He doesn't care at all what kind of suppression and disturbance the Xi Sword Sect will suffer in the future.
The same is true for Qin Cu. As the former head of the mountain, he was expelled from the mountain sect, and his relationship with the Sixiang sect was also pitiful. Back then, Lu Ling, the current head of the Sixiang Sect, was unable to come to Beijing to participate in the fight for the sacred treasure due to the rules of the world, so he set his sights on Qin Cu.
Qin Cu was now a member of the Jianghu community, so there was no need for sanctions. Lu Lingyuan gave him the power to dispatch the disciples of the Four Elephants Sect. The members of the Four Elephant Sect gangs in the capital all followed his orders in order to obtain the divine treasure.
With these two top-notch masters, the hope of others winning is very slim. This is a scene that many people do not want to see, such as the imperial court.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open with a "bump". Gu Mingkong and Qin Cu were both shocked by the noise and jumped up from their chairs. Don't blame them for their embarrassing reactions. With their martial arts skills and status, they have indeed not experienced the emotion of being frightened for many years.
This is an idle house in the south of the capital. It is a property under the name of the Xijian Sect, but few people know it. It is convenient and safe for Gu Mingkong and Qin Cu to discuss matters here, but now someone comes to the door with a clear purpose.
"Why don't you two try to call someone?" The man who opened the door violently walked in with his head held high and was rude to the two famous martial arts figures.
As for the reasons, one is because his martial arts are also of a first-class level; the other is that with his status, there is really no need to give the Jianghu people a good look.
"Master Zhong, why do you need to ask questions knowingly? All the disciples of our two disciples have probably been destroyed by the Jin Yiwei, right?" Gu Mingkong stopped Brother Qin who was about to rush forward. As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Zhong Yi's face would be recognized by the Jianghu guests, let alone an old Jianghu like Gu Mingkong: "Now that you know that Master Qin and I are here, how dare you Zhong Yi'an do this!"
The moment Zhong Yi opened the door, Gu Mingkong thought: He and Qin Cu might have become bare commanders. Dozens of their subordinates had all fought against Zhong Yi's royal guards while they were chatting. . Although Gu Mingkong's words sounded fierce, he actually felt guilty: Not to mention the large number of people on the other side, someone who could silently take dozens of lives under the eyes of the Sword God and Qilin Prime Minister , must be a tough hand. He had heard of Zhong Yi's moves, and he was lashing out with fists and kicks. It was definitely not him. This meant that there was a fourth or even more super masters present.
"Sword God, you are scared." Zhong Yi smacked his lips in disappointment: "It seems that your sword heart is really broken. If it had been ten years ago... no, five years ago, even if there were all kinds of dangers, you would definitely He will draw his nameless sword and strike at me without hesitation."
Zhong Yi's heart-wrenching remarks were not over yet: "Don't worry, although Jin Yiwei doesn't care about bullying the few with more, the opponents this time are you two, so no matter how many mediocre tricks you have, you will lose your life, so today only one other person and I are here. ." Zhong Yi himself didn't realize that he used the word "give away someone's head", which is a word derived from modern Chinese: "Two versus two, a fair fight."
"What's going on... I can't feel a trace of inner strength in him, but since he is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, his martial arts must be good! I don't know where the other person is hiding. Please kill Zhong Yi first." It seems to be for the sake of safety. True to what Zhong Yi said, Gu Mingkong immediately called Qin Cu to come along and don't hesitate. The iron figure that he had worked so hard to build in the past thirty years had finally collapsed.
Gu Mingkong, the strongest swordsman in the martial arts world today, his sword is not a magical weapon that can cut iron like mud, but an ordinary mass-produced iron sword. Based on the level of ancient metallurgical craftsmanship, this sword may not be as sharp as a modern household kitchen knife, but this is the sword of the Sword God, and its sword number is "Unnamed".
Qin Cu, who practiced Qinggong Zhuqueyou, was the first to come to Zhong Yi. This warrior, who was as strong as an ox, raised his fist as big as a sandbag and punched his opponent in the heart without holding back or letting go.
Then, Zhong Yi was beaten away as expected.
But Zhong Yi easily adjusted his posture in mid-air, landed firmly on the ground, and stood still in the yard. Judging from his performance, Qin Cu's long punch was forcefully swallowed by him.
"Ahem," Zhong Yi coughed twice: "My chest is really tight. Master Qin is indeed a master of martial arts. The power of one punch is really extraordinary. The move just now was like a battering ram breaking through a door."
We won't read the part about praising the enemy. What Zhong Yi means is that he can withstand the impact of a battering ram... In fact, he is just praising himself in a roundabout way.
Even Qin Cu, who was very knowledgeable, was frightened when he saw this scene. He knew the strength of the punch just now. He asked himself whether he could block it without using weapons or arms. There were a few people in the world who could have received the punch with only their physical body. But after a hard resistance, he was probably the only one who only reacted with chest tightness and shortness of breath. Mr. Zhong. And judging from the short fight, it was not that Zhong Yi couldn't dodge the punch, he just wanted to personally test his upper limit. In other words, this person's martial arts was far superior to his own.
"Brother Gu, you are a tough guy, let's go together!" Qin Cu couldn't even remember how long it had been since the last time he asked for help so shamelessly.
However, Gu Mingkong now has too much time to take care of himself. The moment he drew his sword, several silver needles shot toward him from behind through the window paper. While Gu Mingkong knocked these needles away, he also failed to cooperate with Qin Cu.
"There are still masters." Gu Mingkong was shocked. At least Zhong Yi was not lying. There were at least two top-notch Jin Yiwei.
The fierce sword wind tore the window lattice into pieces, and the Jin Yiwei outside the house could no longer hide. Gu Mingkong raised his sword and charged out: "Rat! Don't hide your head and show your tail!"
"I'm originally a long-range player who uses hidden weapons. Don't I just have to use them secretly? Do you want me to compete with you? Are you stupid and I'm stupid?"
Amidst the smoke and sawdust, a figure flashed onto the beam. While shouting at Gu Mingkong, he did not forget to connect his hands and scatter handfuls of silver needles.
"Woman, who are you?"
"Easy to say, Deputy Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Xu Xi."
Gu Mingkong snorted: "I've never heard of it."
It's normal that I haven't heard of it, because Xu Xi had been the shopkeeper of Lianxiang Pavilion before this, and she lived in seclusion and kept a low profile.
"It seems that the Sword God will not be able to help you, Master Qin, for a while." Zhong Yiqi stepped forward and stabbed out the index and middle fingers of his right hand: "I have experienced your attack power. I don't know that the Four Elephants Gate has the best defense." What about the outstanding Xuanwu Yu?"
Zhong Yi's speed far exceeded Qin Cu's expectations, and he arrived almost in the blink of an eye. If Qin Cu had any thoughts of running away before, he no longer thought of running away, because he might not be able to escape. Qin Cu focused on defense, maximizing the effectiveness of Xuanwu Yu. At the same time, he transformed his hands into tiger claws and used another skill of white tiger hunting, hitting Zhong Yi with two fingers.
"Pfft--", the sound was like a scholar using too much force to write through the paper. Zhong Yi's finger effortlessly pierced Qin Cu's palm, and then with great force, he drove his finger straight into Qin Cu's right eye. A bloody hole was left on his face.
The reality forced Qin Cu to fight for his life. Qinglong twist, a confrontation method similar to close combat in judo. In such a short distance, Zhong Yi's kicks or punches have no effect, but Baihu Lie is not affected.
Countless palm strikes hit Zhong Yi's chest. Each bloody handprint looked miserable, but in fact it was harmless. The owner of the blood came from Qin Cu, not Zhong Yi.
"This... what a hard body this is..."
The more Qin Cu beat, the more frightened he became. The impact from his palms was unmistakable. He felt like he was beating a bronze statue.
"This is the only skill." Zhong Yi gave a brief four-character evaluation to his astonished opponent, raised his right hand and whipped Qin Cu's head away. "Your strength is seriously inconsistent with my memory. Since the result of the fight is that I can easily defeat you, it is obvious that there is something wrong with my memory."
On the other side, the duel between Xu Xi and Gu Mingkong has just come to an end. The latter's nameless sword and windpipe were cut off by Xu Xi's steel-cutting weapon.
On his deathbed, the Sword God wanted to understand: "How...how did you see through my sword path?"
In the short battle, Gu Mingkong went all out and used more than ten kinds of sword moves that he was proud of in his life. However, he failed to cut off a piece of Xu Xi's clothes. Instead, he was killed in the pursuit.
Xu Xi carefully put away the steel-cutting thread tied to the silver needle: "If you ask me, I don't know, so I subconsciously avoided it."
Gu Mingkong died with eyes closed. He never thought that Xu Xi was telling the truth.
"You've tidied up very neatly here," Zhong Yi walked into the house that was half demolished: "Did you notice anything strange?"
"Obviously, these two people are too weak. In my impression, they should be warriors of the same level as you and me. They should be evenly matched in a fight, but in fact it is a one-sided crushing."
"Well, the strength of the Sword God and the Qilin Prime Minister will not suddenly drop, so this result is because we are too strong, but this cannot explain the memory in my mind." Zhong Yi pointed at his temple: "I am here I still remember that a year ago, I competed with Zou Yi, the head of the Zou family, the head of the Sixth Jiangnan family, and suffered a small loss. Looking at it today, ten Zou Yi may not be enough for me to fight with one hand. of."
"Yes, I also have this kind of contradictory memory." Xu Xi frowned: "Maybe... what the storyteller said is true?"
Zhong Yi turned around and left, leaving the scene to the Jinyi guards to deal with. There were more important things waiting for him to participate: "When I first heard his words, I was only half-believed. In the past few days, I have been reviewing my memories and found many unreasonable things. For example, I can’t remember the names of any relatives except my parents. The more I think about it, the more suspicious I become, and the battle just now has already explained the problem.”
"Let's go, Deputy Ambassador Xu. Let's go to Pu Mansion. It's time to discuss how to leave this world."
