This Sihai Escort Agency has a great reputation. The main bureau is in Luoyang, the capital city, and there is also a Sihai Escort Agency branch in Nanyang. Although there was competition between Nanyang's Sihai Escort Agency and Zheng Lang's Bafang Escort Agency, there was no major conflict.
Chang Qing, the chief escort of the Sihai Escort Bureau, has great martial arts skills and is very famous in the world. It is said that the seventy-two soul-chasing and life-killing sword skills passed down from their family are rarely matched by opponents in the world. There are many experts in the escort agency, so the escorts they escort never make any mistakes, and they are even more famous in the Central Plains area.
Chang Xian passed by Danjiang Town this time and heard about the ring. He heard that Wen Xiang'er was both talented and beautiful, and immediately told his father that he wanted to marry Wen Xiang'er back as his concubine. Although Chang Xian already had a wife and two concubines, he was still not satisfied.
Chang Qing loved his son very much and hoped that he would have more grandchildren, so he naturally had no objection. Chang Qing believed that his son could win the ring, so he planned to stay in Danjiang Town for a few days.
Chang Xian got permission from his father. He asked about the situation in the ring and rushed over immediately. As soon as Wengui stepped back, Chang Xian turned around and faced Ma Xiang.
Ma Xiang bowed his hands to Chang Xian and said, "Young Master Chang, please be polite to dismount Ma Xiang."
Chang Xian said arrogantly: "I heard that you have excellent swordsmanship, and I would like to learn a few tricks. I didn't expect that such a small place like Danjiang would have such a master. It's unexpected."
Ma Xiang smiled slightly and said calmly: "Young escort leader has misunderstood. I am not a local. I am just a mountain villager at the foot of Huashan Mountain. I cannot be worthy of the praise of the young escort commander of the Sihai Escort Bureau. My martial arts skills are low, please young escort." Please show mercy to your head!"
After Ma Xiang finished speaking, he slowly pulled out his sword. Chang Xian made it clear just now that he was here to learn Ma Xiang's sword skills. Ma Xiang had no choice but to show his respect by showing his sword first and wait for him to move.
Chang Xian immediately drew out the single sword from his waist, shouted "Kan Dao", and slashed Huashan with one move, hitting Ma Xiang's head with a faint sound of wind and thunder.
Chang Xianming knew that Ma Xiang was a disciple of the Huashan sect, but he still resorted to this trick, obviously deliberately humiliating Ma Xiang. Of course, he also wanted to use this method to anger Ma Xiang and mess up Ma Xiang's mood.
Ma Xiang remained calm and did not show anger. Seeing Chang Xian's menacing attack, Ma Xiang suddenly dodged to the left to avoid his sword. Ma Xiang did not block with his sword, mainly because he wanted to see more of the opponent's sword skills.
Ma Xiang saw that Chang Xian's internal strength was not weak. If he wanted to use his sword to fight, he would most likely cut off the opponent with one sword. If the opponent's weapon is cut off with one move, it will be a big loss. The other party represents the famous Sihai Escort Agency, and the Escort Agency has many good friends in the world. Ma Xiang does not want to offend the Escort Agency too much. Therefore, Ma Xiang made up his mind to defend rather than attack, and wanted to take the opportunity to see how powerful the famous soul-chasing and life-killing sword technique was.
Chang Xian had used 80% of his strength to strike with the sword, but Ma Xiang easily dodged it. Chang Xian thought that Ma Xiang had insufficient internal strength and did not dare to take the fight head-on. Chang Xian felt relieved and thought that this person was nothing more than that. It was estimated that the person in front of him was not very good at martial arts.
Chang seemed to be invincible. He roared, flipped his right wrist, and swept forward with a single sword. Ma Xiang was very impressed when he saw how quickly he changed his moves. He quickly jumped forward and turned over, passing Chang Xian's single sword.
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves. Although Chang Xian had the upper hand, he was unable to defeat his opponent. He couldn't help but feel anxious and danced with great force with his single sword. Ma Xiang defended with all his strength and took advantage of every opportunity.
The Chang family's swordsmanship was already known for its fierceness. Now that he was deliberately using it, his power was naturally doubled. Ma Xiang was now familiar with the Chang family's sword technique, and thought that although this sword technique was powerful, it was slightly inferior to Nahua's sword technique. After more than ten moves, Ma Xiang saw Chang Xian starting to use the moves repeatedly, knowing that the opponent's sword skills had been exhausted.
When Chang Xian struck straight at him with his sword, Ma Xiang immediately used his internal strength to meet him with his sword. There was just a clang sound, the swords collided, and the single sword was shaken to the side. Ma Xiang flipped his wrist, and the sword suddenly accelerated and stabbed Chang Xian. Chang Xian didn't expect the opponent's internal strength to increase suddenly, and the sword was almost shaken out of his hand. Before he could retract his sword, Ma Xiang's long sword was already in front of him.
Chang Xian was frightened and hurriedly ducked away. Ma Xiang got the upper hand, and the long sword immediately attacked continuously, giving Chang Xian no chance to breathe. Chang Xian was attacked by Ma Xiang and was in a hurry, with many flaws.
Ma Xiang suddenly advanced with his long sword, Chang Xian raised his sword to block it. But he didn't expect that Ma Xiang's sword move was a feint. Before the move could be used, he suddenly turned his sword and used a straight shot to show off his wrist.
Chang Xian was caught off guard, and his wrist was immediately hit by the sword. Chang Xian felt his wrist go numb and he could no longer hold the sword alone. He fell to the ring with a clang.
Chang Xian's face was livid, he cupped his hands towards Ma Xiang and said: "The swordsmanship is indeed superb, I admit my defeat." After saying that, he kicked up the single sword with his foot, stretched out his hand, held the single sword, and jumped off the ring.
When Ma Xiang saw Chang Xian storming away in anger, he thought that this person was too narrow-minded. I had already taken care of his face just now, but he was still merciless. Not even saying polite words would be like losing the identity of the escort leader. Ma Xiang could only sigh secretly, thinking that he still offended the Sihai Escort Bureau and wondered if it would cause trouble.
When Wengui saw that Ma Xiang had won another match, he walked to the stage and asked loudly towards the ring if anyone was participating. However, he shouted several times, but no one answered. Wang Gui had no choice but to ask Ma Xiang to sit aside and continue waiting.
Under the ring, everyone started chatting when they saw that there was no excitement for the time being, and soon the noise started everywhere.
Lian'er turned her head and said to Meimei: "Sister Meimei, Huashan's swordsmanship pays attention to dexterity, while Chang's swordsmanship is fast and fierce. This is easy to understand. Even the Qing's footwork, I didn't understand it at all. , let alone realize anything.”
Meimei slowly replied: "Sister Lian'er, you are right. Huashan swordsmanship and Chang family swordsmanship are indeed different. If their elders took action, it would be difficult for us to win. But Ma Xiang and Chang Xian, It’s not proficient enough and has not reached the state of being traceless. As for Duan Qing’s footwork, it is indeed somewhat magical. I only have a vague feeling that it has something to do with the Bagua position, but I haven’t been able to think through the details.”
Tianxiang sighed and said: "I'm afraid we can't figure out the secret. We can only ask grandpa for guidance after we go back."
Liangchen nodded and said: "That's all it can do. It seems that the elder brother is right, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world. We must practice more, otherwise we will become a frog in the well sooner or later."
At this moment, a person jumped up from the audience. But seeing how fast his movements are, he is obviously a master of excellent light skills.
Wengui took a closer look and saw that this man had a face like a crown jade, eyes like bright stars, handsome and unrestrained, holding a folding fan in his hand, dressed in white clothes, and full of energy.
Wengui bowed his hands and said, "May I ask how you call the young master? Are the rules clear?"
The young master politely returned the favor and said: "I'm Murong Wuji in Youzhou. I already know the rules of the ring. Thank you, senior!"
When Wen Gui heard that he was from the Murong family, he quickly said: "I didn't expect to meet the famous Murong Master here. What a blessing. I won't delay the competition between the two of you. Please stop it!" After that, Wen Gui Gui quickly retreated.
Ma Xiang couldn't help being surprised when he heard that the other party claimed to be Youzhou Murong Wuji. Murong Qingtian, the head of the Murong family in Youzhou, is layman Murong among the five great masters in the world.
Ma Xiang has traveled around the world all year round, so he has naturally heard of the Murong family in Youzhou, and is no stranger to the Murong family's affairs. The Murong family in Youzhou has always been highly skilled in martial arts and dominated Youyan. Members of the Murong family rarely participated in the disputes in the Central Plains, so they were called Murong laymen by the martial arts people in the Central Plains.
Ma Xiang glanced at Murong Wuji, quickly bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "I have heard about Youzhou Murong's name for a long time, and I am truly lucky to meet you today!"
Murong Wuji returned the greeting and said: "Young Master Ma, you're so polite. I admire you very much for your martial arts skills. When people who practice martial arts encounter great martial arts, they want to learn from them. I'm not immune to this, and I don't intend to compete with you in the ring." .”
Ma Xiang thought that this man looked elegant, but he didn't mean what he said. If you really just want to compete in martial arts, you can just come to me to compete in a deserted place, why bother to compete.
Ma Xiang naturally didn't know Murong Wuji's real thoughts. Murong Wuji set foot in the Central Plains this time just to see if it was possible for the Murong family to do something in the Central Plains.
Murong Wuji happened to pass through this place recently, and wanted to use the opportunity of martial arts competition to recruit relatives to expand his reputation. This involves whether the dream of the Murong family for generations can be realized smoothly, and how could he enter the competition just because of his skills.
Ma Xiang looked at Murong Wuji and said calmly: "Mr. Murong, you are so polite. How can I get into the Fang family's eyes with such little effort? However, it is an honor for me to have the opportunity to compete with the famous Murong family. Please. Young Master is willing to give me some advice, Young Master, do you want to fight with your bare hands, or do you want to compare weapons?"
Murong Wuji unfolded the folding fan in his hand gracefully, then quickly closed it and said: "Ma Shaoxia, let me use this folding fan to teach you your superb swordsmanship."
Ma Xiang took a look at his folding fan. There seemed to be nothing special about the folding fan. It was only three or four inches longer than the ordinary folding fan. It was only one foot and five inches at most. That was the three-foot-long sword in his hand. half.
Ma Xiang smiled and said, "It seems like I'm going to take advantage." Anyone who practices martial arts knows that every inch that's long is strong, and every inch that's short is dangerous.
It seemed that Ma Xiang did take advantage, but he didn't dare to be careless. Since the other party has seen his own moves and dares to fight with them, it shows that the other party has great confidence in him. Not only did Ma Xiang not relax, but he became wary.
Murong Wuji said with a serious expression: "Young Master Ma, please don't underestimate me. Although this folding fan is shorter, it is extremely hard. It is specially made by a famous craftsman and contains various magical functions. I will start using it later. Be careful and watch out!”
Murong Wuji made it clear that the folding fan contained a mechanism, which was tantamount to telling Ma Xiang that there was a hidden weapon hidden inside. If he didn't say it, he would suddenly say it later, and Ma Xiang would have nothing to say even if he was defeated. Originally, in this competition to recruit a bride, there was no restriction on the use of hidden weapons by both parties.
Murong Wuji openly stated that, firstly, he was confident in his own martial arts, and secondly, he was unwilling to take advantage of others. From this point of view, his realm is much higher than that of Zhong Chu. After all, he stated in advance that he was quite an aboveboard person.
