When all the servants of the Cao family heard Xue Yue's provocative words, they were furious. Some people couldn't help shouting: "Xue, you are so arrogant. Do you really think that we are afraid that you two flags will fail?"
Immediately, someone else echoed and said indignantly towards Cao Xiong: "Master, that boy is too arrogant to speak rudely. Let us go over and teach him a lesson..."
Cao Xiong looked coldly at Xue Yue, who was surrounded by cavalry on the opposite side. He said nothing, but gently pressed his hands.
Although the servants were furious, their master didn't show any signs of it, so they could only stay where they were and didn't dare to act rashly. This shows that Cao Xiong's subordinates are very organized and dignified.
Xue Yue was quite surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Cao family could be so calm despite being provoked by such deliberate words. From this point of view, Cao Xiong was no ordinary person. It’s so simple to be a child of a martial arts family.
But he is also not a playboy who only relies on his own power to run rampant. His skills are actually based on his ability.
And this is why he can't stand Cao Xiong, who is also the young head of a family across from him.
In the Jianghu forces outside Guan, the people who make the decisions now are basically their own fathers. The younger generation, such as Xue Yue and Cao Xiong, are the young masters of one force. Although they all have high status, they are not very familiar with each other. Moreover, they were quite dissatisfied with each other, so they secretly harbored feelings of disdain and inferiority.
In Xue Yue's view, the reason why Cao Xiong was somewhat famous in the world outside Guan was entirely due to the huge family wealth behind him. He didn't have much money himself, and to put it bluntly, he was a playboy. But now when we meet him, Cao Xiong is not only very temperamental, but also very scheming. He is a person who can see clearly and stabilize the situation. Therefore, Xue Yue's perception of Cao Xiong changed slightly.
But the more this happened, the more the young man's arrogance made Xue Yue feel unhappy, so he did not give up his intention of provoking words, and saw him laughing and saying: "Everyone outside this pass knows that your Cao family treats me The Shuangqi Sect has always been dissatisfied, but in recent years, Mr. Yan has been the peacemaker in the middle, so everyone took his face into consideration and tacitly understood each other and did not take any action." He sneered, "Since everyone has already If you have grievances, I don’t mind gesticulating here. Aren’t all matters in the world settled with fists and knives?”
The servants of the Cao family became even more angry, and their teeth were itching with hatred.
Cao Xiong raised the corner of his mouth and said in a calm tone: "Xue Yue, the reputation of your Shuangqi Sect is achieved by your father's pair of judge pens, not by your words. So between him and me As my father is a peer, I will give him some face, and I will call him uncle when I meet him." He stopped talking, then a contemptuous sneer appeared on his face, and continued: "But if you want to do something, , Mr. Xue, I wonder how much of the true inheritance you have obtained from Master Xue now?"
Xue Yue raised his eyebrows and did not reply. He just snorted in his nostrils with an expression of indifference and pride.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Xue is not practicing the judge pen." Cao Xiong chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his smile, and said: "Master Xue has a reputation as the Iron Banner Judge in the world, and a pair of judges He is a master of writing skills. There are very few people in the world outside the customs who can rival him, and he is the master of a sect. Logically speaking, he is qualified even if he accepts apprentices and teaches his skills. But I heard that Mr. Xue did not inherit his father's legacy. Instead of practicing martial arts, he turned to other people to practice swordsmanship. From this point of view, Mr. Xue's spirit is indeed extraordinary, and he even looks down on the martial arts that his own father is famous for. If this kind of thing is ignored by those who don't understand If people in the world are interested in spreading the word, I'm afraid they will say that Mr. Xue is arrogant and even looks down on his own father."
As soon as these words came out, it was the turn of the Cao family's servants to laugh loudly. Someone next to Cao Xiong laughed loudly: "The Master Xue is also a famous person, but he didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf that looks like a human and a dog." , If it were me, I would really regret giving birth to him..." The retinue's words were quite vicious, and the people next to him burst out laughing again, thinking that they had been insulted by Xue Yue's words just now, and now they are going to use them too. It feels good to have the language back.
Cao Xiong did not stop his men. He squinted at Xue Yue opposite.
Everyone in Shuangqimen was furious, pointing their knives at Cao Xiong and yelling curses. The Cao family's followers were not to be outdone. Some were angry and drew their swords, and some even took off their bows and arrows to prepare for the battle, and cursed all kinds of unpleasant words. So the two sides fought with each other only with words, and the scene was tense for a while. Both hilarious and tense.
The other people who appeared with Cao Xiong were still standing in the darkness of the street in the distance, watching the two sides scolding each other but making no move. It seemed that they were not members of the Cao family. And they were quite far away from the people in Shuangqimen, so Xue Yue couldn't see their appearance clearly, let alone where they were. This is also the reason why he remained calm and did not take action easily even when he was subjected to intolerable insults from others.
"enough!"
Just when the two sides were yelling at each other, Xue Yue suddenly shouted loudly. It was like a thunderous explosion in the noise. It actually contained internal force in the sound. For a moment, the sound shook the night sky in the long street. Both sides could only feel the sound in their ears. Shocked, Judu stopped scolding immediately in surprise.
"That boy looks just like a pretty boy with a superficial appearance. I didn't expect that he would have such internal strength. He is almost as good as the young master. I really underestimate him." The Cao family's followers couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Cao Xiong frowned and his face darkened. Xue Yue's scolding revealed his impressive internal strength, which actually made Cao Xiong feel surprised.
Xue Yue scolded and stopped the verbal sparring between the two parties. His face was unexpectedly calm, and he was not angry because of the vicious words of the Cao family's retinue. Then he heard him say coldly: "I, Xue Yue, Who I am from and what kind of martial arts I practice are all my own business. It is not anyone else’s turn to tell me what to do. I just didn’t expect that Young Master Cao would care about my personal affairs. This surprised me. But then again , you and I don’t seem to have such a good relationship, right?”
"When it comes to martial arts, I have a dull talent, so I couldn't inherit my father's famous skills, so I had to find another way. But this cannot be compared with Young Master Cao." Suddenly the light in his eyes flashed like a sharp blade. After a flash, he raised his voice and said: "The Cao family's Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Sword is a masterpiece in the martial arts outside Guan. As the eldest son of Cao, he must have learned the essence of his family's education. I have also admired him for a long time. If Cao Da If you don’t mind, young master, you can teach us a few tricks to open up our horizons.”
Xue Yue said it calmly, but the meaning behind his words was a declaration of war.
Cao Xiong's face darkened slightly. He was a little surprised that the other party could still maintain a calm attitude at this time. He really had a different understanding of people like that young master, but now that the other party had already mentioned this, it was almost the same. How could he show weakness when he declared war?
But now, although the two sides are at war with each other on the surface, secretly no one wants to be the one to strike first. Firstly, it is because we are not completely clear about each other's strength. No matter how harsh or unpleasant the scoldings are, it is just a matter of words. Once they take action, the nature is completely different. Secondly, under the auspices of Yan Shouyang, these martial arts forces outside Guan Guan have maintained a relatively peaceful and stable relationship for the time being. This is not only because Yan Shouyang's Sunset Racecourse is the number one force in the martial arts world outside Guan Guan, but also because of his own personality charm. , he is a figure with leadership ability, so people in the martial arts world outside Guan Guan all agree that Yan Shooyang is the number one person in the northwest martial arts world. This is a tacit fact that everyone knows. If the five forces rashly enter into a large-scale conflict, it will be tantamount to not taking Yan Shouyang, a powerful figure outside the customs, into consideration. More importantly, whoever dares to take the lead in breaking the balance that Yan Shouyang has worked so hard to maintain will undoubtedly become the target of several other forces joining forces to suppress and eliminate them.
No matter whether it is the Cao family with deep family background, the increasingly powerful Shuangqi sect, or the other three families, they currently do not have the strength and courage to bear this kind of consequences.
Xue Yue is a smart man. Although he is extremely dissatisfied with Cao Xiong in his heart, he does not say that he wants to go to war with the Cao family, but wants to discuss with Cao Xiong according to the rules of the world. This method is undoubtedly the wisest. Even if two people really want to take action, it will only be a competition, far from the level of a war between the two major forces.
Cao Xiong is naturally a smart man, and he certainly knows that this is a trap set by Xue Yue. Now it was his turn to make his own decision, but no matter what he chose, he seemed to have lost the upper hand.
If Cao Xiong agrees to compete, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will be the one who has already lost. But if you don't agree, it is tantamount to actively showing weakness and admitting that the Cao family cannot afford to offend the Shuangqimen.
Cao Xiong's face was gloomy, and the subordinates around him turned to look at him, waiting for his answer.
After a brief pause, Cao Xiong exhaled softly. He crossed his arms across his chest and said in an indifferent tone: "Master Xue's judge pen is exquisite and unmatched in the martial arts outside the customs. I have admired it for a long time. It's a pity to hear it." It is said that Mr. Xue has already practiced swordsmanship. If you want to ask for advice on this unique skill, it seems that you will only have the opportunity to ask Master Xue to teach you personally in the future." He smiled slightly and continued: "Although the people who use swords in the martial arts outside Guan are not There are few, but there are almost no masters. Even if you look at the entire world, the only ones who can pass down the sword are Qingcheng Mountain and Jianzong. So Cao is quite confused, not knowing whether Mr. Xue has invested in Which sword master is his disciple?"
There are many large and small gangs in Jianghu, but regardless of their strength, they are all ordinary Jianghu organizations. Most of these gangs are headed by people who have already achieved fame and success in Jianghu, and they recruit some Jianghu people. Their existence They basically focus on obtaining various benefits in the arena, and the strength of their power is directly related to the martial arts of the people they recruit. Therefore, they are not sects with historical origins like the Chongzhen Sword Sect and the Sword Sect. Martial arts. Famous sects such as Chongzhen Sword Sect and Sword Sect have existed for a longer time and have very complete sect teachings and traceable martial arts origins. In other words, these sects are very orthodox and formal organizations, and their disciples practice orthodox martial arts that have been passed down by the sect for many years. The two famous martial arts sects, Chongzhen Sword Sect and Jian Zong, have existed in the world for more than two hundred years. They are undoubtedly the most orthodox sects in the entire martial arts world with their sword skills. The identities of sword users who come out of these two sects Naturally, they are superior to those swordsmen who are from the world of martial arts or those who are born in the wild.
Therefore, although what Cao Xiong said was very cryptic, everyone could hear that he looked down on Xue Yue's swordsmanship. Unless he really comes from the two major swordsmanship sects, Chongzhen Sword Sect or Sword Sect.
Xue Yue naturally heard the meaning of the other party's words. Although he hated Cao Xiong in his heart, his expression did not change. He just said lightly: "Young Master Cao's family has a long history, and the Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Sword is even more famous outside the country. , so it is reasonable for you to look down on the swordsmanship of other people except Chongzhen Sword Sect and Sword Sect. In comparison, my swordsmanship is naturally inferior. But in my opinion, the martial arts is the best. , it’s not the martial arts that are good, but the people who practice martial arts, so if Master Cao wants to know where I am from and what my swordsmanship is, why not give it a try yourself?”
After he finished speaking, a smile broke out on his face. It felt like he really just wanted to compete with Cao Xiong, rather than harboring any personal grudges.
Cao Xiong's heart moved, and he knew that the other party was determined to fight with him, so he said in a deep voice: "It seems that Mr. Xue is really elegant. But the sword has no eyes. If I accidentally hurt you, I'm afraid it will happen later." If the leader of the Xue clan raises an army to investigate, then I, Cao Xiong, cannot bear such a crime."
"Young Master Cao is worrying too much." Xue Yue raised his brows and said loudly: "Today you and I are just having a brief exchange of ideas on a whim. If I am really hurt by you, it is because I am not good at learning. Will I blame you again? But at the same time, I also want to remind Young Master Cao that if I fail to grasp the sense of proportion and accidentally hurt you, then the Cao family cannot be petty, let alone let the Sunset Racecourse know about it..."
When Cao Xiong heard this, his face suddenly became angry. He glared, raised his voice, and said sternly: "Xue Yue, what do you mean by this?"
Xue Yue laughed and said: "Young Master Cao, why should you be excited? Do you still want me to tell you what is going on with everyone now?"
Cao Xiong's face was gloomy. He straightened his back and said coldly: "Speaking of which, you and Sunset Racecourse have become closer in the past few years, right? Today is the sixtieth birthday of Mr. Yan, and among the guests he invited Among them, it is said that there is Master Xue, so with your strange words, are you saying that you are not good enough?"
Xue Yue smiled and said: "Mr. Yan has always acted fairly, and his reputation is well known to everyone in the northwest. Since he can get an invitation, the people invited will naturally be valued by him. Is there anything shameful about this kind of thing? Is it light?”
When Cao Xiong heard this, he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart and felt very uncomfortable. Because among the guests Yan Shouyang invited today, there was no Cao family. Although this kind of thing is actually nothing, in the Cao family's view, Yan Shouyang, who is the leader of the Northwest Jianghu, does not seem to respect and value them. In comparison, the Shuangqimen has the upper hand again.
Now Xue Yue deliberately mentioned that no matter how calm Cao Xiong was, he couldn't hold back at this moment. He pulled off the black cloak on his body and threw it to the attendant next to him, revealing that he was also dressed in red but with golden phoenixes embroidered on the front and back. He was convinced and sneered: "We have talked nonsense enough. In the end, we still have to see the truth from the sword. Mr. Xue, don't let me down."
He is tall and tall, with a muscular body inside a golden suit, full of wild power.
The people on both sides of the long street suddenly fell silent at the same time, nervously and excitedly looking forward to the "discussion" between the two masters.
Hiding in the dark, he watched the scene on the street in silence as if there was no breath at all. He couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. He already knew the identities of both parties, and could also see that the two young men were both very skilled, but they were somewhat restless. Angry.
The two sides seemed to have been secretly grudges for a long time, but they met here tonight. It seemed that it was not intentional, but a coincidence. But just because of coincidence is the biggest question. As the young masters of the two major forces, they did not understand the reason why the other party was here, so they turned from a verbal dispute into a sword fight. This kind of impulsive mentality really seemed too unstable and mature.
But there was silence but no action, because this matter had nothing to do with him at the moment. The reason why he hid his whereabouts was because he wanted to know why they appeared in Daomakan at the same time under such special circumstances.
As for the special reason, it is because people died inexplicably here, and a lot of people died. But the most important point was not mentioned by the people on both sides who were at war with each other outside.
This is why Silence sighs secretly.
"In that case, let's ask Young Master Cao for advice."
When Xue Yue's cold voice came out, he suddenly stood up from his horse.
At the same time, with a loud sound of drawing a sword, a red shadow suddenly flashed, and Cao Xiong's burly figure jumped out of the horse.
The people on both sides suddenly looked stern and looked at the two figures.
The two figures rushed toward each other very quickly.
A red shadow flew across the sky, and Cao Xiong gave a low shout. He held the knife in both hands in the air and slashed at Xue Yue angrily with one strike.
The light of the sword seemed to split a golden afterimage, and where the blade passed, there seemed to be a sharp roar like cracking silk in the void, and its momentum was so powerful that no one could stop it.
Everyone in Shuangqimen was shocked. The seemingly pampered Cao Xiong was indeed a bit overweight!
However, Xue Yue, who also collided in the air, did not have a sword in his hand. He was unarmed.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them met in the air.
Cao Xiong's sword has the potential to split mountains and crack rocks, and his sword skills are indeed extraordinary. But Xue Yue was unarmed. Just when he was close to the sharp blade, he made a sudden turn in the air and avoided the extremely heavy blade. Then he suddenly stretched out his arms and suddenly aimed at Cao Xiong's hands holding the knife. Grab the wrist.
Xue Yue actually wanted to use his bare hands to steal his sword!
