Five days later, Chu Xisheng's boat finally arrived at the boundary of Xunyang County.
At this time, they were only one day's flight from Xishan Town.
Chu Xisheng has returned home like an arrow, and her heart has already flown to the Chu family mansion.
However, their ship had just sailed to the middle of Xunyang County when some ships bearing the banner of the Iron Banner Gang approached.
There were only one or two at the beginning, but gradually fifty or sixty boats gathered, and the stars followed behind his boat like a moon.
Most of these ships are cargo ships owned by the Iron Flag Gang. Basically, only the ship owners and Cang Tou (deputies) are official members of the Iron Flag Gang, and the rest of the shipwrights and coolies are only peripheral members of the Iron Flag Gang.
However, these strong men were very excited and proud after seeing Chu Xisheng.
At this time, the news that Chu Xisheng killed Wang Sheng, the "blood drop son", had not yet spread.
However, the news that Chu Xisheng became one of the "Ten Great Swordsmen of Shenxiu", swept through the young heroes of Heluo, defeated the three swordsmen in the capital, and defeated Mo Qilin with another sword, has spread to the Dongzhou area in pieces, causing a sensation in Xiushui.
.
For more than ten days, almost all of these boatman coolies have heard of Chu Xisheng's name and his deeds.
When had their Xiushui ever had such a majestic figure?
Such world-famous heroes actually came from the Iron Banner Gang, how could they not be excited and proud?
Chu Xisheng also met an old acquaintance, Li Dehou, the incense master of the Iron Flag Gang who had witnessed him being attacked and sunk by Ho Luoyu twice.
This person was specially waiting at the border between Xiushui and Xunyang to deliver the news for the iron madman.
Tie Kuangren wants to open an incense hall at the main rudder and summon all the outer hall masters to gather together. Now he is only waiting for Chu Xisheng. After convincing Chu Xisheng, he can go there quickly.
According to Li Dehou, the chief helmsman had wanted to open the incense hall a month ago. Firstly, he was to formally confer positions on several newly promoted heads of the outer hall, and secondly, he wanted to discuss a vital matter.
But because Chu Xisheng escorted Zuo Qingyun and his son to the capital, it has been delayed until now.
Chu Xisheng was helpless. He actually wanted to see his beautiful wife at home.
After being away from home for more than a month, he missed the two girls at home - although he could only watch them, they were also enjoyable to watch, right?
Who has the patience to open an incense hall?
But there was nothing he could do, since he was eating from the Iron Flag Gang, he had to listen to others' instructions.
Moreover, the distance between Xishan Town and Xiushui County's Chengdong Wharf is only sixty or seventy miles, which means the delay is only half a day longer.
As they continued to sail downstream, Chu Xisheng stayed on the deck, practicing swordsmanship under the supervision of Ye Zhiqiu.
During this period, Ye Zhiqiu taught him martial arts every day.
The eighth level Wind Chasing Knife, the eighth level Qingyun Zong, and the seventh level Electricity Chasing Finger - all made Chu Xisheng a lot of progress.
But just two days ago, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly stopped teaching these things and said that he wanted to teach him a lightning-type extreme move.
The ultimate move itself is very simple, just slash back with the sword.
However, this move, combined with the power of thunder and the use of special mental techniques, incorporates the martial spirit of wind and thunder.
The sword technique is extraordinarily fast. The speed of getting started with the sword technique alone is even comparable to that of the 'Wind Mark', and it is better because of its surprise and powerful force.
It can return the knife in various situations and from various angles, which is very powerful.
"It seems that you have really become wiser recently."
Ye Zhiqiu clasped his hands behind his back and watched Chu Xisheng continuously swinging his knife behind him on the deck, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "The quality of these swords is pretty good. It shows that you have understood the true meaning of 'Recall Slash'. You almost got it."
It’s time to get started.”
Chu Xisheng was looking at his system panel at this time.
——Do you want to use 0.1 blood points to upgrade the ‘Ultimate Move to Recall Electricity Slash (Not Beginner)’ to ‘Ultimate Move to Recall Electricity Slash (First Level)’?
Chu Xisheng was a little surprised. When he practiced the two extreme moves of 'Eight Winds Immovable' and 'Wind Trace' before, this was not the case.
He thought for a moment and chose to agree!
——Do you want to use 0.3 blood points to upgrade the ‘Ultimate Move with Electricity Recalling Slash (First Level)’ to ‘Ultimate Move with Electricity Recalling Slash (Second Level)’?
agree!
——Do you want to use 0.9 blood points to upgrade the ‘Ultimate Move with Electricity Recalling Slash (Second Level)’ to the ‘Ultimate Move with Recalling Electricity Slash (Third Level)’?
agree!
——Do you want to use 2.7 blood points to upgrade the ‘Ultimate Recalling Electric Slash (Triple Level)’ to ‘Ultimate Recalling Electric Slash (Perfect)’?
Chu Xisheng was even more surprised. This ultimate move actually had four realms. Both the white horse and the non-horse only had the third level.
He still chose to agree!
——Do you want to use 3 blood element points to integrate the ‘Extreme Move Returning Electricity Slash (Perfection)’ into the Electricity-Chasing Finger?
The price of this extreme move fusion is far more than the Eight Winds Fudou and Wind Trace.
Chu Xisheng chose to agree without hesitation.
In recent days, except for redeeming a "Xueyidaojun 16-year-old character card (trial version)", he had no expenses.
Chu Xisheng's blood point value has also risen to 244.
Now he can earn more than a dozen blood points every day, so he can spend it freely.
Chu Xisheng was also looking forward to this ultimate move.
The entry-level Callback Slash is comparable to the Wind Scar, but what about the perfect level?
As Chu Xisheng spent these blood points, countless messages poured out of his soul core.
This feeling is exactly the same as before, as if Chu Xisheng knew it before, but didn't remember it until now.
The difference is that as Chu Xisheng's understanding has greatly increased, his ability to process information has also greatly increased.
Chu Xisheng could feel and understand the profound meaning of these 'returning attacks' while talking to Ye Zhiqiu without any obstacles.
He bowed to Ye Zhiqiu cautiously: "This extremely powerful move is extraordinary. Judging from the disciple's experience, this is a truly superior martial art. The instructor has great love, and the disciple will remember it deeply and will repay it later!"
"You have a good vision!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled when he heard this. He looked proud and said: "I learned this ultimate skill from the North. It is neither inherited from the Wuxiang Divine Sect nor the martial arts in the military, so I can teach it to you. Although it is not like yours
The white horse is not a horse, which is particularly suitable for the martial arts of our Wuxiang Divine Sect. The multiplication of two divine powers is particularly terrifying, but it is also a top-notch secret move below the fourth level, and there is also a trace of the "Charm of Heaven" hidden in it.
However, if you want to use it in actual combat, you still have to integrate it into your sword and fingering techniques. This technique is derived from the horseback spear and can be integrated into various martial arts, sword techniques, spear techniques, fingering techniques, sword techniques, stick techniques, etc.
It can be used, and is best used with three weapons: knives, swords, and spears.
If you cooperate with the mental technique of chasing electric fingers, use the hand of controlling wind to control electricity, and use the wild goose feather knife, the power is the greatest. If you want to further improve the power of this knife, you have to practice more frequently and experience the deeper meaning.
The true meaning of martial arts.”
"Disciple understands." Chu Xisheng's eyes flashed.
Of course, it is impossible for him to say that he has mastered this ultimate technique and integrated it into his own martial arts.
"But coach, there are still some things I don't understand about the eighth level change of the style of wind and thunder a few days ago. I want you to help me look at it-"
Just when Chu Xisheng said this, Ye Zhiqiu raised his hand to interrupt: "Next time, we are already almost to Xiushui City, and now I just want to return to the martial arts school as soon as possible. I have been out for more than a month, and I don't even know about the East Campus.
How is my disciple?
And Xisheng, you should also take your time in martial arts practice. It is a good thing to practice hard, but you need to know that going too far is not enough, and haste makes waste. The most important thing in civil and martial arts is to relax and not to pull the bow string too tight."
When Ye Zhiqiu was talking, he looked downstream specifically and found that the ancient market was clearly in sight.
She felt relieved secretly.
I think Chu Xisheng's understanding is indeed getting more and more terrifying.
If she had come back a day or two later, she might have had nothing to teach and would have lost face.
I am a swordsman and palm practitioner, and what I have learned is the advanced form of the Jiugong Sword, the Nine Palaces Sword Technique of Divine Thunder, and the advanced form of Paiyun Palm, the Paiyun Wuxiang Palm!
How could she put so much effort into knife skills and fingering skills?
Ye Zhiqiu's level in the Wind-Chasing Knife and the Lightning-Chasing Finger was only between the seventh and eighth levels.
What's more, Chu Xisheng was very comprehensive in these two martial arts. Ye Zhiqiu had never thought about many of the questions he asked.
Only 'Qing Yunzong', Ye Zhiqiu can give some guidance.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, his face-saving personality was really bad.
In order to save face, she even threw out the most powerful and powerful moves.
If someone wants to learn this extremely powerful move like 'Recalling Slash', it will cost them 20,000 taels of magic silver. This guy is really getting an advantage this time——
Qian Qian, who was counting money in the distance, smiled.
She saw Ye Zhiqiu's dilemma clearly and clearly.
It's a pity that I can't reveal my identity, otherwise I could give Chu Xisheng some pointers.
She didn't know why in the past two days, whenever she saw Chu Xisheng practicing clumsily, she had the urge to do it herself and teach him step by step.
Whenever Ye Zhiqiu reprimanded Chu Xisheng, Ji Qianqian would feel particularly unhappy.
Chu Xisheng's understanding is already extremely high. He has mastered this ultimate move that contains the "Charm of Heaven" in just two days. He is already very powerful.
Why is this woman so harsh?
Chu Xisheng didn't think too much.
He followed Ye Zhiqiu's line of sight and found that the East Pier of Xiushui County was indeed far away, only ten miles away.
Chu Xisheng's mind became excited unconsciously, with a hint of expectation.
I really want to go home quickly and ask Chu Yunyun about the secrets of this sword technique.
At this moment, Chu Xisheng suddenly focused his eyes and saw three large four-story sailboats coming upstream from the opposite direction, slowly approaching.
These are four cargo ships with a total of eight thousand materials, and there is nothing unusual about them.
However, there was a "long" flag hanging on the mast of those ships.
The young master of the Long family, Long Heng, was standing on the bow of the opposite ship.
This person also noticed their huge fleet and looked over from a distance. His face looked particularly pale for some reason.
Chu Xisheng frowned slightly and summoned Li Dehou, the incense master from the Iron Flag Gang's helmsman, in front of him.
"Brother Dehou, what happened up front? Didn't Uncle Kuang have an order not to allow any board from the Long family to go down the river?"
Li Dehou immediately explained: "Master Chu, you are far away in the capital and don't know that just twenty days ago, shortly after the battle of Xishan Town, the prefect of this county personally went to the battlefield to make peace with the Shangguan family for the Long family, so that our Iron Banner Gang could no longer
Blockade of the two ships also allowed us to cease fighting with the Seventeen Chain Dock upstream."
Chu Xisheng's frown deepened: "Uncle Kuang agreed? Just let them go?"
"Of course the flag owner refused to agree."
Li Dehou smiled bitterly: "However, the prefect spoke very sincerely, and invited the governor of the city and the prefect of Xunyang County to accompany him. This man not only made the Long family, Shangguan and other three families pay a total of 800,000 taels of magic silver.
, and also ordered Long Heng to wear linen and mourn for our brother who died in the Fire Bone Cave, with three swords and six holes."
When he said this, he glanced around again: "Everyone understands that those guys just want a chance to breathe. Sooner or later, we will have to fight with them to determine the outcome.
However, our banner master is about to be promoted to the fourth rank, so what the above people think is that we might as well give up for a while. When the banner master is successfully promoted to rank, the situation we face will be much easier to handle. Even the big shots in the city will not be able to handle it.
Don’t dare to point fingers at us anymore. This time the flag owner opened the incense hall just to arrange this matter."
"I see."
Chu Xisheng's eyes were relieved, but her heart was unhappy.
At this time, the ships on both sides were already close to less than one mile apart.
Chu Xisheng's mind moved slightly, and then he put his hand on the long knife and said with a faint smile: "Isn't this the young master of the Long family, the young master Long Henglong? What a coincidence, lately Chu has been wanting to find you to reckon with the past.
It’s an old account. I didn’t expect that I was lucky enough to bump into him today.”
Long Heng's moon-like face moved slightly. Unless he was deaf, he would not be able to hear Chu Xisheng's provocation.
“What a coincidence indeed!”
Long Heng's already cold eyes looked at Chu Xisheng like swords, spears and halberds, but his voice was very calm: "Speaking of old scores, my second brother also died because of you, Long
I have always kept it in mind. But the contract between our families was personally witnessed by the two prefects and the inspector. How do you feel about it?"
Chu Xisheng burst out laughing when he heard this: "This is a personal grudge between you and me. What does it have to do with the Iron Flag Gang? When you were negotiating for peace, my uncle Kuang didn't go overboard, so I agreed to turn the war with your Long family into friendship, right?"
In the past, you were so tyrannical when you were in the ancient market and wanted to take my life at all costs. Why do you and I have to be so timid when we meet enemies today? What kind of rules do you care about? Could it be that you are afraid? "
Long Heng's face couldn't help but turn pale, and the veins in the hand holding the sword gradually popped out.
He really didn't want to conflict with Chu Xisheng at this time.
The Long family's business has been suspended for half a year, and now they urgently need to sell their accumulated goods to relieve the family's tight financial resources.
not to mention--
Long Heng glanced sideways at the cold-faced Ye Zhiqiu behind Chu Xisheng, and felt a faint pain in his left arm.
However, Chu Xisheng's words were clearly meant to take advantage of others' strength.
Even the city of Longheng could not suppress the rage in his heart.
"In the past, I was forced into the Fire Bone Cave by you and trapped for several days. Chu will always remember this grudge."
There was a hint of sternness in Chu Xisheng's eyes: "What I cultivate is the Yiju Dao Yi, and what I emphasize is that 'every virtue must be repaid, and the grudges of Yaju must be repaid'! The grudges between you and me should be settled today."
never mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up from the deck.
At this time, the distance between their two ships had narrowed to less than fifty feet, and the seventh-level Qingyun Zong and the sixth-level Time and Shadow Body allowed Chu Xisheng to cross this distance easily.
Chu Xisheng's figure was light and agile, but when he flew over the eight-thousand-material ship, the Xunfeng Thunder Saber in his hand was so sharp that it had the potential to cut off everything.
"Chop suey!"
Long Heng smiled instead of being angry, dancing in his robes without any wind: "Since you want to die, then I will help you."
Tie Kuangren was invincible to Xiu Shui, so Long Heng had to be wary of him. The instructor of Zhengyang Martial Arts School, Ye Zhiqiu, whose combat power reached the fifth level, was also on the opposite ship at this time, so he had to be on guard.
But who is this Chu Xisheng? How dare you rely on the strength of Tie Kuangren and Ye Zhiqiu to challenge him in person!
This person is listed among the "Ten Excellent Swordsmen of Shenxiu" and is indeed famous all over the world. However, after all, this person is only a seventh-grade swordsman.
After defeating several teenagers of the same age group and being complimented by others, you will no longer be able to see what you are!
Before Chu Xisheng landed on the boat, he suddenly drew his sword. The sword flashed like a cold star and struck right in front of Chu Xisheng's blade, the weakest point.
With a 'clang' sound, dazzling sparks exploded between the two sides.
The collision of their forces caused the ship under Long Heng's feet to slide downstream.
There were also many masters on the Long family's ship, all running towards Chu Xisheng.
But at this moment, two of the seventh-grade martial arts cultivators were hit by arrows in the face, and were directly nailed to the deck by two heavy arrows.
The rest of the people were startled and looked towards the other side. They saw a pretty woman with slightly dark skin, an arrow in her forehand, and a half-opened bow pointing at them.
There was a slight smile on the pretty woman's face, revealing a set of neat silver-white teeth, which looked extra beautiful under the sunlight.
Everyone in the Kelong family not only felt chilled, but also did not dare to make any move at this time.
They felt that if they made the slightest move at this moment, they would surely die under this woman's arrow.
Between Chu Xisheng and Long Heng, there was a continuous bombardment of swords. Countless lights, shadows and sparks exploded between each other. The sonorous sound shook the eardrums, and there were more than twenty blows in an instant.
Long Heng's eyes gradually showed surprise.
The sword speed of the guy in front of him was only half as good as him! He was able to keep up with his swordsmanship and his strength was not what he imagined. There was a crushing gap.
This person's cultivation level was obviously one step behind his, but he was able to fight him head-on for twenty moves without appearing defeated.
Sure enough, he was beaten to death by the snake but suffered its consequences. This guy's bloodline talent has actually been raised to this level!
If he has to wait another year or two, this person will definitely become a serious problem for him.
Chu Xisheng sighed secretly, as expected, he was still no match for this poisonous snake.
The two sides fought with all their strength, and Chu Xisheng estimated that he could only last fifty rounds.
The reason why the word 'full force' is added here is because Chu Xisheng has reservations and Long Heng is not using all his strength yet.
But he won this battle because he had extra helpers!
Just when Long Heng's face was cold and his murderous intent was getting stronger and stronger, ten giant horo fish tentacles suddenly came out from the bottom of the river and smashed into the big ship at Long Heng's feet.
Long Heng was not surprised. He had been paying close attention to Chu Xisheng recently and knew that this person had an upper-level sixth-grade horofish zombie with him.
This zombie's combat power in the water has also reached the fifth level.
He raised his hand and flicked it, and the long sword in his hand actually condensed endless cold air at this moment, sweeping away like a glacier. Not only was the surface of the river freezing, but the surface of the ten tentacles also began to be covered with ice.
However, just when Long Heng was about to freeze He Luoyu's tentacles, he saw Chu Xisheng's sword power changing drastically in front of him.
"You can't save your ship!"
That sword slash was extremely mysterious.
Looking at it is on the left, suddenly it is on the right, the virtual and real are uncertain, the distance is difficult to predict, taking advantage of the virtual is not falling, touching the solid is not awkward, ever-changing and difficult to capture.
Could this be Chu Xisheng’s famous secret sword ‘White Horse is Not a Horse’?
Long Heng was shocked in his heart. He exhausted all his inspiration and finally managed to capture the true direction of the Xunfeng Thunder Saber when it was about to strike in front of his eyebrows.
Long Heng blocked Chu Xisheng's sword force at the last moment.
"Dang!"
Following this sharp sound, Long Heng's whole body suddenly slipped back a few steps under the heavy blow from Chu Xisheng's sword.
At the same time, he could no longer freeze He Luoyu's moves.
Those ten tentacles, as thick as water tanks, instantly smashed the head of the eight-thousand-material ship into pieces! The entire ship flipped forward, showing the potential to capsize.
"you--"
The blue color on Long Heng's face deepened, and he was filled with anger.
At this time, he even had the determination to kill Chu Xisheng at all costs.
Even if he would be surrounded and killed by Ye Zhiqiu and Tie Kuangren for revenge afterwards, Long Heng would not hesitate.
However, to kill this person, the key is to kill him with one blow and not give Ye Zhiqiu a chance to intervene.
Just as he was thinking about the telex, Chu Xisheng had already flown over to another large ship.
He didn't have the ability to kill Long Heng, but he could destroy his eight-thousand-material cargo ships in front of Long Heng.
"Don't even think about it!"
Long Heng snorted coldly and followed Chu Xisheng like a shadow.
At this time, he already felt Chu Xisheng's difficulty.
This guy's combat power is definitely no match for him, but with the addition of a Hollow fish, the two of them join forces to integrate offense and defense, and their combat power more than doubles.
Long Heng exchanged more than two hundred blows with Chu Xisheng on the river. His cold power spread out, causing thick ice floes on the surrounding river surface, but Chu Xisheng was helpless.
On the contrary, his other large ship had been destroyed by the tentacles of the Ho Luoyu.
Chu Xisheng did not fight with him with all his strength, but put more effort into destroying the ship. The ten tentacles whipped him underwater and smashed several huge holes into the ship.
The eight-thousand-material ship in front of him was flooded and might not be saved. Long Heng finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hantian Slash, kill!"
He used his secret move, and the long blue sword exploded with countless green and blue brilliance.
Wherever the sword light passed, the seven tentacles blocking Chu Xisheng's front like human shields almost broke off in response.
Long Heng's attack still had 30% remaining power, and he continued to bombard Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng's expression was indifferent, and he also used his ultimate moves to counter attack with attack.
Extreme move* Trace of Wind!
With this sword, he only wanted to be fast, ruthless, and heavy! It was as if he wanted to cut Long Heng in half with one strike.
What surprised Chu Xisheng was that Long Heng neither dodge nor block, but actually had the aura of exchanging injuries for injuries and dying with the enemy!
Chu Xisheng was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Since they are exchanging injuries for injuries and hurting each other, it depends on whose body is stronger——
He also had no intention of backing down, and the Xunfeng Thunder Knife in his hand was faster! Harder! Heavier!
And in the next moment, the two men's swords hit each other's body almost at the same time.
This chapter has been completed!
