Xue Jiuchang recovered from his brief shock and looked at Gu Xifeng with a strange expression.
"Boy, you're right. Since you don't use weapons, I won't bully you." After saying that, he motioned to his companions to come over and put aside his nine-ring sword.
"Come on, let's have a fair fight between you and me!" Xue Jiuchang grinned, his big brown teeth exposed, looking a little scary.
His hands were surrounded by wisps of red inner energy, like burning flames. He clenched his fists and struck Gu Xifeng with a straight punch. His whole body carried an astonishing fighting spirit and a mighty aura.
Gu Xifeng did not confront him head-on and dodged sideways, only to feel a wave of heat rushing past his face.
Seeing that the blow missed, Xue Jiuchang turned around and punched another fist that was surrounded by internal force. An uppercut hit Gu Xifeng directly on the chin. Gu Xifeng leaned back and did a backflip to avoid it nimbly.
Xue Jiuchang was not discouraged. His aura suddenly improved again, and a surging energy of blood burst out from his strong body. He was actually a master of both internal and external skills.
Not only has he cultivated both internally and externally, but both his internal and external cultivations have reached the realm of advancement. Although it is only the early stage, it is much stronger than Xu Daye in the late entry stage who just failed.
Xue Jiuchang's offensive was even more fierce, but Gu Xifeng did not confront him head-on. He used his flexible body skills to dodge. The feeling of powerlessness made him gradually lose his cool.
As time went by, his killing moves failed again and again. Xue Jiuchang lost his mind, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Gu Xifeng's non-stop moves. He didn't even notice that his internal strength was about to be exhausted. At this time, a figure suddenly Appearing in front of him, two dragon-shaped internal forces entangled him tightly, making him unable to move. He had lost his mind and continued to struggle desperately regardless of whether his internal energy was really exhausted.
"Stop!" Wu Beiwang's somewhat angry and majestic voice rang in Xue Jiuchang's ears. Xue Jiuchang shivered and the redness in his eyes gradually faded.
"Why don't you fight? Keep fighting."
"Commander, please calm down. I just lost my mind and lost my mind before I knew it." At this time, Xue Jiuchang didn't look as irritable as before. He smiled coquettishly, like a mouse after seeing a cat. His somewhat flattering expression changed from his arrogance. There was an indescribable sense of disharmony on the tall man's face.
"If I hadn't taken action in time, you would have probably severed all your muscles and veins and become a cripple if you had just forcefully activated your internal energy!"
"Just when you encounter an opponent who restrains yourself, you lose your mind and go crazy. When you go to the battlefield and face various situations, you will lose even more control. What will happen to you if Baoze sacrifices in front of you? What will happen to you if Baoze betrays you? If you can't keep a cool head at all times, leave immediately and go home to farm, I don't need such people in my camp!"
Wu Beiwang glared at Xue Jiuchang fiercely, and then looked around at the other people in the lobby.
"You too, you can be angry and take revenge on the battlefield, but as long as you live, you must stay awake!"
"I obey the commander-in-chief's instructions!" Everyone in the hall except Gu Xifeng and Xue Jiuchang all gave Wu Beiwang a military salute with his left hand hitting his chest in a respectful manner. Xue Jiuchang also wanted to salute, but he was restrained and unable to move.
Seeing this, Wu Beiwang withdrew the inner strength that restrained him, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I will punish you by immersing yourself in cold water for an hour every day for a month. Please calm down and calm down. If this happens again next time, just get out!" Xue Jiuchang was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly thanked the commander and left the hall as if he was running away.
Wu Beiwang took a seat a few steps away and looked at Gu Xifeng with even more interest.
"Come here, find Lu Yuanzhi."
"Yes!" A young man who looked like a guard in front of the lobby door took the order and left.
Not long after, another young man walked into the lobby and saluted Wu Beiwang.
The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dark in appearance, short and thin, like a child from a poor family.
"Yuanzhi, this little brother is a master. Xu Daye and Xue Jiuchang were both defeated by him. You can compete with him later. Don't underestimate the enemy."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Lu Yuanzhi nodded lightly.
"Sir, I am not good at boxing and kicking because of my humble position. Can you allow us to fight with weapons in hand?"
"Little brother, what do you think? If you need anything, just ask." Wu Beiwang turned to look at Gu Xifeng.
"Okay, I want two daggers." Gu Xifeng made the request without any pretense. At Wu Beiwang's signal, two short blades were quickly brought over. They looked like the kind of personal daggers hidden in the arms of bandits. .
Gu Xifeng held the two daggers in his hands, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Lu Yuanzhi eagerly.
Lu Yuanzhi also pulled out his weapon. This weapon was not common. It was a two-handled short fork with a three-pointed body. It was long in the middle and short on both sides. It was in the shape of a rod. The long rod was about a foot long. It had no edge or edge. This kind of short fork is also called iron ruler in Jianghu.
Both of them were holding pairs of short weapons, and they just faced off, with no one attacking rashly.
This time, it was Gu Xifeng who made the first move. Since it was the last one, there was no need to hide it anymore. The power of Qi and blood continued to surge in his body, fully stimulating his external strength in the middle stage of advancement.
Lu Yuanzhi also didn't hide his clumsiness. He exuded a more domineering aura than Gu Xifeng. He was actually a master of his family, and he was vaguely at the advanced stage of his advancement.
Gu Xifeng's speed was extremely fast, and Lu Yuanzhi's speed was not slow either. They were fighting hand to hand, and the two figures kept intersecting and colliding, making it difficult to tell the difference for a moment.
If you don't have enough eyesight, you won't even be able to see the two people's attacks clearly, and you can only see countless afterimages wandering around.
Gu Xifeng was faster and Lu Yuanzhi was more powerful. Neither of them could do anything to the other, and the battle gradually became more intense.
Following a violent collision, the two of them retreated, no longer taking action, and both watched each other warily.
"My little brother has such strength at such a young age, which is admirable. If we were the same age, I would definitely not be your opponent."
"The battle will be quick, let's all use our special skills." After Lu Yuanzhi said this, his expression became solemn, his momentum increased again, and the two iron rulers moved up and down, making a strange posture.
"Just what I wanted." Gu Xifeng also made the Hundred Flowers Killing move.
"Little brother, this is my strongest move at the moment. It's called the Spiraling Dragon Thorn. Watch it!"
Lu Yuanzhi pointed his two iron rulers forward together, and his body spun at high speed, heading straight towards Gu Xifeng like a wind dragon.
Gu Xifeng activated Hundred Flowers Killing, and countless afterimages of Gu Xifeng intertwined with the wind dragon.
After a moment, the two of them stood there quietly without making any move. Gu Xifeng held a dagger at Lu Yuanzhi's throat. The slightest force would kill him.
"Okay, you win, put the dagger away." Lu Yuanzhi looked calm.
"I have a question, don't you get dizzy when you use this move?" Gu Xifeng looked a little weird, put away the dagger and asked in confusion.
"It's definitely dizzy, but I'm used to it." The reason for Lu Yuanzhi's answer was appropriate.
"Okay, little brother, if you win three competitions, I will keep my word and spare your life."
"Then when can I leave?"
"Leave? That's not possible. Stay here temporarily. We will let you go when the matter is over."
"Come here, take this little brother down and lock him up."
"Don't think about escaping. You can't escape as long as I'm here."
Two guards outside the door walked into the lobby, tied Gu Xifeng up with chains, and poured some powder into Gu Xifeng's mouth.
Gu Xifeng recognized this thing. It was called Mortal Powder. Taking this medicine would make it impossible to mobilize the power. It was no different from ordinary people. It was just that it carried a special smell and could not be used to poison people secretly. Otherwise, this medicine would be a poison in the world. A big killer, but even so, Mortal Powder has extremely wide uses.
Gu Xifeng did not resist these things. There was no point in resisting when the master was here.
Soon Gu Xifeng was taken away.
Wu Beiwang looked at the depressed Lu Yuanzhi and smiled bitterly.
"Yuanzhi, there is something wrong with your Whirling Dragon Thorn move. Don't practice it again in the future. Increasing the power of rotation in the stabbing can enhance the power, but if your whole body rotates, it will be full of flaws. If you lose today, you will lose here. Go back Think about it carefully, your idea is feasible, it just needs to be adapted."
"Yes, Commander, I will obey the instructions carefully. Please allow me to resign first."
Wu Beiwang waved his hand, and Lu Yuanzhi immediately left the lobby and went to study martial arts in a hurry.
There is a tent in the open space of the mountain village that is much larger than the other tents. It is surrounded by other tents in the middle and is heavily guarded. It is even tighter than the guards in the lobby.
This camp is not the residence of a big shot. The interior is surrounded by iron bars, just like a prison. It is not known where this group of people found the materials.
At this time, Gu Xifeng had also been imprisoned here, but he was in a good mood, because not only were seventeen Paoze from the Seven Killing Battalion imprisoned here, but there were also boxes of various sizes placed in one direction of the prison.
According to the intelligence, the number of people in the prison exactly matches that of the missing and captured Qi Sha Ying Pao Ze, and those boxes were also belonging to the Beichu caravan that was murdered and swindled.
This time the problem is much simpler.
These members of the Seven Killing Battalion were all weak and lying in the cell powerlessly, but none of them were in danger of life. It seemed that Wu Beiwang and others had no intention of killing them.
When these people saw Gu Xifeng, some of them who knew him suddenly brightened up, then dimmed quickly, and did not speak to him. Gu Xifeng was also making various calculations in his mind at this moment, and did not recognize these people.
Although there were many people in the entire prison, it was eerily quiet. Only the footsteps of the guards and the breathing of the prisoners came from time to time.
As night fell, in a hidden cave at the foot of the mountain, figures flashed by from time to time. This was the temporary foothold for the remaining members of the Seven Kills Battalion.
At this time, the eight Xingxiu guards were extremely anxious and wanted to go up the mountain immediately.
"The day has passed, and there is no news about the two children. They may have been caught by that group of people." He was worried and kept fiddling with his fingers.
"It's very possible that after such a long time, no matter whether they succeed or not, these two boys should send us some news." Jiao Bixin was better, but he also frowned. "If there is still no news tonight, we will go up to the mountain and attack at dawn tomorrow."
The other seven Constellation Guards all agreed.
At this time, a figure rushed into the cave, and it turned out to be a monkey.
"My senior brothers and sisters, you didn't tell me in advance when you changed places, so I spent a long time in the dark looking for signs before I found this place." Monkey breathed heavily, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
"Okay, haven't you found this? As a member of the Seven Kills Battalion, I can't even find the way at night. Be careful, I will go back and file a complaint." Seeing the monkey return, Xin felt relieved and tapped the monkey gently with his finger. Hit the forehead.
"Where's the West Wind man? Why don't you see him coming back?" Jiao saw something was wrong and asked quickly.
"In order to quickly find the horse thieves' lair, we both came up with an idea. Xifeng pretended to be captured by the enemy and took him back. I followed all the way to find their lair. It was really difficult to sneak in in broad daylight, so I tried my best. I just found a location where I can observe the inside from the outside.”
"Now Xifeng has been completely captured, but not everything has been found. It has been found out that the opponent really has a master, and he is very strong. The place where Xifeng is locked up is also very suspicious. I plan to wait until late at night to sneak in and kill Xifeng. Save it."
"You have to be careful, don't get yourself involved again." Jiao patted the monkey's shoulder hard, which made the monkey roll his eyes.
"Don't worry, my sneaking skills are better than those of West Wind. If you can't get in during the day, it will be my home court at night." The monkey was confident, giving a thumbs up and showing a row of small white teeth.
After the monkey informed everyone of the horse thief's location, he left the cave alone and disappeared into the night.
