Zhao Mingyuan and the Song brothers and sisters were chatting about the current situation, and Shi Fei Xuan also took the opportunity to constantly ask the princes here about how to be kings.
As time went by, various forces and heroes gathered in the Manqing Courtyard.
This grand event was originally organized by "Zhi Shilang" Changbai Wang Bo, and Shang Xiufang was invited to perform a dance.
However, because of this battle between Zhao Mingyuan and Qu Ao, there was a strong tendency to dominate the competition.
But after all, Wang Bo is the real host of this banquet. He hasn't arrived yet, so naturally this grand event has not really started yet.
Naturally, someone from the Song family is here to inquire about information. Whenever an important person arrives, someone will report it.
Soon, everyone learned that people from the Yuwen Clan, the Dugu Clan, and the Li Clan were coming, and all the four great clans were actually here.
It's a pity that the person coming from Li clan is not Li Shimin, but Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong. I wonder if Li Shimin felt Zhao Mingyuan's malice and ran away.
As for other local forces, Dou Jiande of Hebei, Du Fuwei of Jianghuai, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, Xue Ju of Longxi, Li Gui of Liangzhou, Li Zitong of Donghai, Lin Shihong of Yuzhang, Liang Shidu of Shuofang, Dongping Xu Yuanlang, Gao Kaidao of Yuyang, Shen Fa of Piling and other forces, not only the leader of one party came in person, but also their generals came.
Even the forces on the grassland came. For example, Fu Qian, the son of King Fu Yun of Tuyuhun, and Tuo Bayu and Chunyu Wei, disciples of Bi Xuan.
Of course, more masters from the martial arts world came, including masters from the Eight Gangs and Ten Hui, as well as the good and evil sects.
It's just that the masters of the Demon Sect are extremely low-key and don't show their presence.
However, Zhao Mingyuan naturally remembered that the owner of Manqingyuan, Shangguanlong, a local snake in Luoyang, was a member of the Yingui sect.
How come there are no people from the Demon Sect here?
Not long after, news came that Qu Ao had also arrived.
Knowing that Qu Ao had also arrived, the two protagonists of this battle were already in place. Many people knew that the show was about to begin.
Qu Ao lived up to expectations. When he arrived at the Manqing Courtyard, he didn't even go upstairs, so he started yelling and cursing in the hall.
"Zhao's son, you killed my disciple and insulted my reputation. Now that I'm here, if I kneel down and beg for mercy, maybe I can consider sparing your life. Why don't you show up yet?"
This sound, blessed by Qu Ao's inner strength, spread throughout Manqingyuan. Even though no one had heard the news yet, they learned that Qu Ao was coming.
For a moment, the entire Manqing Courtyard fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Zhao Mingyuan's response.
In this regard, how could Zhao Mingyuan show weakness, so he immediately replied: "It seems that Qu Ao, you are indeed old and impatient with life.
I have warned you that you are not allowed to set foot in Middle-earth, but you still dare to come. It seems that you are really not afraid of death.
If this is the case, then I will help you.
I will take your life today, and then send your evil son Ren Shaoming to accompany you tomorrow.
Don't worry, your family will always keep you in order. "
Zhao Mingyuan's words were not loud, but they were clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone nearby, revealing that his use of Qi was far more wonderful than Qu Ao's.
After hearing Zhao Mingyuan's rage, Qu Ao said: "Shuzi! How dare you insult me like this? I will cut you into pieces today to satisfy the hatred in my heart. Come down and die if you don't come down yet!"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Since you are in a hurry to reincarnate and can't even wait for a moment, then it will be as you wish."
With that said, Zhao Mingyuan passed by the window and jumped out.
Suddenly, there was a cry of exclamation in the audience.
It turned out that many guests nearby had already opened their windows and looked outside, knowing that there was going to be a big battle here.
When they heard that Zhao Mingyuan was coming down, everyone looked forward to it.
But everyone didn't expect that Zhao Mingyuan would directly use Qing Gong and fall from the air.
Moreover, Zhao Mingyuan seemed to have no intention of using the fence posts on the four sides, and actually fell towards the middle of the hall below the patio.
Manqingyuan is several stories high. Through the patio in the middle, you can see the hall below at a glance.
Qu Ao was currently raising his head and yelling at the side of the hall. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan fell from the sky. His whole body tensed up and his internal energy was running, but he was already preparing to attack.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked, thinking that a war was about to begin.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan was in mid-air, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and he had not borrowed any strength from his surroundings. It was very dangerous for him to float down like this.
It is difficult to exert force while in mid-air. If Qu Ao suddenly attacked and killed him at this time, one move might be able to determine the outcome, or even determine life and death.
And a veteran like Qu Ao, a former prairie bandit, would never care whether this was moral or not.
Moreover, although there is no referee in this battle, since Zhao Mingyuan has ended, according to the agreed rules, he can be regarded as having participated in the battle.
Even if Qu Ao makes a surprise attack, no one can tell what is wrong.
Seeing this, everyone thought that Zhao Mingyuan was too trusting and made such mistakes just to look cool during his life-and-death battle.
Isn't this putting your life and death in the hands of the enemy?
It is unwise to gamble one's own life and death with the enemy's character.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan is considered the leader of a force. How could he do such a thing?
Could it be that there is really no one in Wagang Village so that such a young guy can take over?
In short, after seeing this scene, many people had a great impression of Zhao Mingyuan, and they had the impression that he was incompetent and resourceful.
However, the strange thing is that although Qu Ao was well prepared and had great internal energy, he watched Zhao Mingyuan fall from the upstairs to the center of the hall in a graceful and light posture, without taking any action from the beginning to the end.
Everyone couldn't help but be puzzled.
When did Qu Ao, a barbarian from outside the Great Wall, have such a high character? He was obviously a thief, so how could he not take advantage of him?
How is this possible?
However, this Qu Ao is naturally not someone who has an advantage, and it is not because of his noble character, but because he is not sure, so he does not attack.
Gradually, several people with strong martial arts skills present came back to their senses and understood the reason.
After a little explanation to the people around him, everyone finally understood.
It turned out that Zhao Mingyuan fell from a height, and it seemed that he was not easy to change his moves. He was in a dangerous situation and seemed to be at a disadvantage.
In fact, isn't this a trap set by Zhao Mingyuan against Qu Ao?
Although it is indeed difficult to change moves after falling from a height, it is extremely inconvenient to use a move if needed, and it is not advisable to dodge attacks.
However, that is only for ordinary people, but it may not be the case for martial arts masters like Zhao Mingyuan.
Moreover, Zhao Mingyuan's fall from a height is also a process of gaining momentum.
Qu Ao was already ready to go, so why not him?
Zhao Mingyuan fell from a height of several floors. He looked light and airy, but in fact he was just converting the momentum of his fall into savings.
If Qu Ao attacks, he will have to deal with the gravity of Zhao Mingyuan falling from several floors and the accumulated internal strength, which is naturally not easy to deal with.
Qu Ao had collected information about Zhao Mingyuan, and naturally knew that Zhao Mingyuan had shown deep internal strength during the battle between Jingling and Bian Fuli.
With such deep internal strength, if coupled with the tendency of falling from a high place, this blow will be like the weight of Mount Tai, and even Qu Ao may not be able to catch it.
Therefore, Qu Aocai did not take action rashly because he thought that since Zhao Mingyuan dared to fall like this, there must be some backup plan.
Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan landed safely, everyone who had been worried about the start of the competition and stared at Zhao Mingyuan's fall without blinking, breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, when everyone thought that Zhao Mingyuan and Qu Ao would say a few words and confront each other for a while before fighting each other. Qu Ao suddenly attacked Zhao Mingyuan like lightning and thunder.
This attack had been charged for a long time. It moved like a rabbit and was as powerful as thunder. It grabbed Zhao Mingyuan's chest and was about to disembowel Zhao Mingyuan.
The timing of Qu Ao's move was beyond everyone's expectations.
This was naturally Qu Ao's deliberate move.
After all, people will inevitably relax when they are suddenly out of danger under full concentration.
When Zhao Mingyuan landed just now, the huge force accumulated during the fall would be dissolved, but it would inevitably cause him to become stiff.
And this will make Zhao Mingyuan's subsequent use of internal strength or adaptable moves slower.
Many times, this slight difference is the difference between life and death.
Qu Ao took this opportunity to take action, showing his rich combat experience.
No wonder Qu Ao has survived the grassland for decades, but he has his own tricks.
Qu Ao's martial arts cultivation in this life can be summarized by the three words "seven, eight, nine".
These represent the three stages of his martial arts.
Seven and eight naturally refer to the two wonderful innate skills created by Qu Ao called "Seven Turns of Wild Waves" and "Eight Folds of Storm".
Ordinary martial arts practitioners can be called masters if they can reach the point where they can freely send and receive luck and energy.
But if you want to surpass others, you must seek innovation and change in order to defeat the enemy.
The way to change lies in the cultivation of the acupuncture points in the body, which are the hubs of the meridians. The difficulty is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary Qi training.
Being able to use acupuncture points as the source of controlling the sending and receiving of true energy is already in the realm of a first-rate master.
Qu Ao was a genius in martial arts. He mastered seven acupoints at the age of twenty-three and created the "Seven Turns of Wild Waves".
However, it became more and more difficult to make further progress later on. It was not until ten years later that Qu Ao was able to practice one more acupoint and named it "Bao Feng Ba Feng". The hardships and hardships involved can naturally be imagined.
When Qu Ao was forty-one years old, he was able to control all the acupoints in his body at will, so he named it "Nine Transformations of Condensation".
"Nine" does not refer to the nine acupoints, but takes "nine" as the ultimate number, which means it is endless.
Qu Ao's martial arts had just reached its peak at this point, and he had the desire to challenge Bi Xuan, but he was defeated by Bi Xuan and luckily escaped with his life.
Although this "Nine Transformations of Condensation" is not as good as the great master, it is indeed a rare martial arts skill among the masters.
Nowadays, Qu Ao has brought the "Nine Transformations of Condensation" into full play, and also created the "Thirteen Transformations of Eagle Transformation" so that they work perfectly together. When his accumulated momentum reaches the peak, he will use all his strength. Take action.
This blow was earth-shattering.
