Just when Chu Xisheng and Long Heng both chose not to block, not to dodge, not to dodge, they went all out to attack their opponents.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but change his color, and instantly pulled out the sword from behind.
However, the speed of the two men's attacks was so fast that it was too late for Ye Zhiqiu to intervene.
Ye Zhiqiu's heart sank slightly, thinking how unwise Chu Xisheng was? He could obviously fight to a close with Long Heng, so why use this life-threatening fighting method?
Ji Qian Qian instinctively wanted to shoot Long Heng to death with one arrow.
The problem is that she also had no time to stop them. Even if she fired an arrow, she couldn't stop the two of them. She could only get rid of Long Heng, the bastard who deserved death.
Ji Qianqian then thought that Chu Xisheng had already completed the fifth level of the 'Nine Refinements of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body'.
Although this was not enough to resist Long Heng's sword power, it was enough to help Chu Xisheng save his life.
Her mind was racing, but she still held her breath for the time being.
Ji Qianqian thought that if anything happened to Chu Xisheng, she would have the entire Long family buried with Chu Xisheng.
At this time, the reaction of the people on the surrounding boats was much slower, and most of them could not clearly see the swords in the hands of the two men.
However, at the last moment, Li Dehou managed to distinguish the movements of Chu Xisheng and Long Heng, and his face instantly turned as white as paper.
Hall Master Chu is brave if he is brave, but isn't he playing into Long Heng's hands by doing this?
How strong is the physical quality and body-protecting power of a sixth-grade martial arts cultivator? It is not worthwhile for Chu Xisheng to exchange injuries for injuries with a seventh-grade martial arts cultivator.
In the next moment, there was a huge explosion between the two of them. The force between them surged, and the sword energy and sword energy burst out in all directions, causing a huge wave to rise above the river.
Chu Xisheng's Xunfeng Thunder Saber was one step faster after all.
He was in peak condition when he fired the sword, so both the speed and power of the sword reached the limit; while Long Heng's sword cut off the six tentacles of the Hora fish zombie in succession, leaving little power left and running out of changes.
So Chu Xisheng first slashed Long Heng's left shoulder, breaking his Gang Qi, and almost cut off Long Heng's arm with one blow.
He even cut off Long Heng's collarbone and shoulder blade, leaving only a little flesh on Long Heng's left arm and part of his left chest connected to his body.
But at this moment, a huge force also exploded in Chu Xisheng's chest.
That was Long Heng's sword, hitting Chu Xisheng's right chest!
The two of them seemed not to block or dodge, but in fact they made slight adjustments to their body shapes to avoid the real vital points.
At this time, a touch of joy appeared in Long Heng's eyes.
Although this sword failed to hit Chu Xisheng's heart head-on, as long as his sword penetrated, Long Heng could easily freeze this guy's heart into an ice sculpture.
What he should consider now is how to survive under Ye Zhiqiu's sword——
Long Heng thought that as long as he survived for a month, Ye Zhiqiu would be helpless with him.
Zhengyang Martial Arts School really values Chu Xisheng.
However, he and Chu Xisheng had a personal grudge, and this time it was Chu Xisheng who made the first move.
If the Zhengyang Martial Arts School and the Wuxiang Shenzong intervene, they will ignore the rules of the world and will definitely arouse the resentment of the entire Dongzhou martial arts community.
At that time, he only needs to ask an old man in the world to make peace with him and resolve the matter.
However, just as Long Heng's thoughts were racing, he discovered that something was wrong.
Long Heng felt like his sword hit a thick steel wall. The force of the shock made his right hand numb.
"The blood is strong and the body is trained horizontally?"
Long Heng looked at Chu Xisheng's body. At this moment, a layer of light silver power emerged, and his pupils could not help but shrink slightly.
——This is not the force generated by the internal energy released by martial arts, but the 'external force' born from Chu Xisheng's strong qi and blood, strong body and strong muscles, so it is extra strong and tough!
In addition, the blue and purple light armor on Chu Xisheng's body also has terrifying defensive power.
Long Heng used all his strength with his sword, and although he managed to pierce through Chu Xisheng's armor, he was unable to break the armor, leaving only a faint sword mark on it.
However, Chu Xisheng himself was blown away. He slid on the river for more than twenty feet before regaining his balance.
At this time, not only was his body covered with a thin layer of ice, but he even coughed up a mouthful of blood.
injured?
At this time, Chu Xisheng was not angry but happy. He separated his thoughts and glanced at the status bar of the character panel in his field of vision.
Status: Six Yin Resurrection Curse, Symbiosis (Initial), Yazhen, God's Sorrow, Dance of Burial Heaven (Light)
The word "light" in brackets means that he is currently slightly injured.
When he is slightly injured, the Burial Dance can double all his physical qualities and possess high-intensity spell-breaking power.
Long Heng's eyes widened with an incredible expression.
This guy actually cultivated the horizontal training body?
And what kind of magic weapon is the armor on his body? It looks light and thin, but its defensive ability is so powerful?
The next moment, Long Heng saw a sinister smile on Chu Xisheng's face.
Then Chu Xisheng's whole body was shot towards him like a ballista.
Clang!
The two fought again, and a shocking sound erupted on the river.
Then it continued continuously, with dozens of blows in a row.
The difference from before is that now the two sides have waxed and waned.
Chu Xisheng's strength and speed increased sharply again, and the speed of the knife was even more astonishing. However, Long Heng's left shoulder was seriously injured and the bones were completely broken. Only a few muscles and fascia were left to connect the arm, and he could no longer use it normally.
Moreover, when the two of them were fighting, this limp arm could not help but swing around, which greatly affected Long Heng's movement of the sword.
For a moment, Long Heng was cut down by Chu Xisheng's sword until he could only block it. What made him even more dizzy was that the horo fish zombie restored its tentacles while bombarding the remaining two members of the Long family.
A big ship.
Many masters of the Long family tried their best to stop it, but they were still blasted through the bottom of the boat by the He Luoyu, and the hull of the boat was flooded and rolled over.
As the two large ships capsized, the six severed tentacles of the Holo Fish Zombie had been completely restored. They brandished terrifying suckers with sharp white teeth and bombarded Long Heng again.
This made Chu Xisheng's sword moves even more unscrupulous and domineering.
He only attacks but does not defend. His sword skills can be as strong as the wind or thunder. He can make an antelope hang his horns without leaving a trace. He can also be as powerful as a giant and unstoppable.
There were also countless wind blades and thunder spears, summoned by his divine will to bombard the opposite side.
Long Heng kept retreating on the river, trying to distance himself, while Chu Xisheng followed closely, chasing after him like a shadow.
The two of them moved in tandem like flying fish on the river, attracting the attention of the surrounding ships.
People in the ancient market and the East Pier of Xiushui County also noticed the fighting on the river. They climbed to high places and looked over from a distance.
Long Heng no longer had to consider the issue of killing Chu Xisheng. It was very difficult for him to just deal with the fierce attack of Chu Xisheng and He Luoyu zombies.
He was filled with rage and rage, and was constantly planning to recover from his injuries, regroup, and even wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
However, Chu Xisheng's sword didn't give him a chance at all. The sword came at him like a violent wind and thunder, leaving Long Heng with no time to stand firm.
He couldn't even take any injury pills. The ten tentacles of He Luoyu were now mainly used for attacking. They were not only powerful and heavy, but also slippery and tricky.
At this time, everyone who saw this scene on the river was horrified.
The young man in the fierce battle must be Chu Xisheng, right? Chu Yida is the ninth among the Ten Masters of Divine Swordsmanship, sweeping across the four states and suppressing all the young masters in Heluo!
How could he suppress Long Heng? Injure this man so tragically?
Everyone also saw the horo fish zombie and knew that it was caused by the combined efforts of one person and one fish, but this was also very serious.
You need to know that Long Heng, the eldest son of the Long family, although his cultivation level is only at the sixth level, he is a master whose strength is comparable to those at the lower level of the fifth level!
Everyone in the Iron Flag Gang had their faces flushed and excited.
They all knew that Chu Xisheng was very powerful and extremely talented, but they didn't know that Chu Xisheng was so powerful.
Now, in addition to the banner leader brother and Songfeng Jianlinshi, their Iron Banner Gang now has another master who can support the gang as a pillar!
But just as the battle between the two on the river intensified, it began to affect the surrounding areas.
A powerful force of energy suddenly struck from above, hitting exactly between the two of them.
"Cangshan's trump card?"
Long Heng recognized this as the famous martial arts of Wei Lai, the guerrilla general of the Tianping Army.
But he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to slide back another thirty feet before standing firm on the river.
Chu Xisheng was intercepted by Daogang Qi and had to stop the pursuit.
That powerful force hit the water and raised a huge water wall twenty feet high.
He looked up and saw a man wearing black armor with thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing above the river.
This person was looking down at Chu Xisheng with an unkind look in his eyes.
"The Grand Administrator has an order that there should be no more disputes, fights or fights near the East Pier of Xiushui County and the ancient market. Violators will be beheaded!"
Although Wei Lai said so, he had no intention of taking action.
Not to mention Ye Zhiqiu, who was waiting on the ship in the distance, there were also brothers Tie Kuangren and Tie Xiaosheng watching from the direction of the Iron Flag Gang's rudder.
However, Wei Lai's tone was extremely cold.
"Not long ago, the Grand Administrator has vouched for you, the Iron Banner Gang, and the Long family in the inner city. You and your family have made an oath, and from then on the war has turned into friendship, and you have agreed not to use weapons again. Why did Hall Master Chu violate the oath and sink the Long family warship?
, injured Long Heng?"
Chu Xisheng smiled and stared coldly at Long Heng: "I had a grudge against the Long family before I joined the Iron Flag Gang. This is a personal grudge between me and him and has nothing to do with the Iron Flag Gang!"
Long Heng remained silent. He had swallowed a mouthful of wound pill. At the same time, he hadtily bandaged the wound with the torn off clothes, and tied his left arm tightly to his side to prevent the arm from swinging around and affecting his health.
fighting.
Wei Lai frowned.
He had heard about Chu Xisheng's deeds.
It is true that this person had enmity with the Long family when he first entered the Zhengyang Martial Arts School.
It is true that Chu Xisheng did not use the power of the Iron Flag Gang today. It is just that he worked alone, and with a Holofish zombie under his control, it is indeed not a breach of contract.
Wei Lai's face softened slightly: "That won't work! The prefect recently requested an order from the Governor-General of Dongzhou, ordering our Tianping Army to monitor the Xiushui County waterway. From now until the end of June, no weapons are allowed within fifty miles around the ancient market and the east dock of the city.
.No matter what grudges you have between you, you are not allowed to take action here."
He promised Tie Kuangren not to interfere in any disputes in Xiushui County.
However, the situation this time was different. The Governor-General of Dongzhou issued an official order, and Wei Lai and the Tianping Army had to obey the order.
Chu Xisheng heard what the other party meant. You can fight elsewhere, but you must not fight near the ancient market.
He hummed softly and sheathed the long knife in his hand.
In fact, there is no need to fight again.
Long Heng, who was on the opposite side, had taken care of his injuries, regrouped, and was past his weakest period.
There will be no results if the two of them continue to fight.
Chu Xisheng was confident of killing him on the river. The problem was that the fifth-level combat power of Heluoyu Zombie was limited to rivers. As long as Longheng was smart and stayed away from the banks of the Shenxiu River, Chu Xisheng would kill him.
Nothing can be done.
Moreover, today's destruction of four of Long Heng's ships and almost cutting off Long Heng's left arm has already made him feel bad. He has also gained tens of thousands of martial arts points, making back all the losses of the 'Returning Slash'.
After Chu Xisheng put away her sword, she walked through the water and returned to her boat.
In fact, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Flag Gang was near their battlefield, just over half a mile away. Chu Xisheng would have been closer if he went directly there.
The problem is that Ye Zhiqiu is still on the boat, and Chu Xisheng has to send the instructor ashore first.
Wei Lai then looked at Long Heng: "The same goes for you, Long Heng! No more conflicts."
Long Heng was silent. He looked at the river several miles away, the Long family's cargo ship that had sunk and disintegrated, as well as the broken wood and goods floating on the river, his face as dark as water.
Li Dehou, the incense master of the Iron Banner Gang, was also watching this scene.
He thought silently in his heart, it seems that "Chu Xisheng plus He Luoyu" can be equated to "sinking ship".
Either you are sinking your own, or you are sinking someone else's.
※※※※
Chu Xisheng landed at the east dock of the city and after arriving at the helm of the Iron Flag Gang, he spent the whole afternoon socializing.
The Iron Flag Gang currently has a total of eighteen outer halls, plus the six inner halls of the Iron Flag Hall, Xuanfeng Hall, Internal Affairs Hall, Patrol Hall, Punishment Hall, and Auditorium, for a total of twenty-four halls.
In addition to Tieqi and Xuanfeng, who are directly led by the Tie brothers, plus Lin Shi from Xiushui Hall, Jia Dali from Gushi Hall, many other hall leaders, as well as those with higher status and real power, are all lining up.
I want to talk and drink with Chu Xisheng.
In fact, most of Chu Xisheng's relationships with these people only happened once.
When Chu Xisheng opened a church in Xishan before, these people came all the way to show their appreciation to him. Iron Maniac specially introduced them to him one by one, and they ate meat and drank wine together.
But the friendship only ended there. At that time, many people were doubtful and even dissatisfied with Chu Xisheng who suddenly rose to a high position. They just dealt with it perfunctorily for the sake of Tie Kuangren and Tie Xiaosheng.
Within the Iron Banner Gang, only the brothers from Xuanfeng Hall had the deepest friendship with Chu Xisheng.
But the situation now is completely different from that at the beginning of the year.
The current Xishan Hall is so powerful that it has 1,400 members alone, and can mobilize 7,500 bows and swords in Xishan. It is already the number one hall of the Iron Banner Gang.
There are a hundred people in one branch of Xishan Hall, and among them, except for Gushi Hall and Xiushui Hall, the largest number of people in other halls is only more than 200, which is simply incomparable.
Chu Xisheng himself has already reached the seventh level of cultivation. Not only is he one of the "Ten Excellent Swordsmen", but he also seriously injured Long Heng, the young master of the Long family, in front of their eyes just now.
Although Chu Xisheng borrowed the power of the Horo Fish Zombie, he could only have such strong combat power on the water, but it was enough for the Iron Flag Gang.
The Iron Banner Gang's sphere of influence and business were originally above the river.
This person's reputation for "benevolence and righteousness" spread throughout the world.
As long as someone is a gangster, who doesn't like a heroic hero like Chu Xisheng?
Moreover, the canal in Xishan Town is about to be opened, and many members of the Iron Flag Gang will have to look up to him in the future. Naturally, everyone is thinking of ways to get close to him and build friendship with him.
Chu Xisheng is also very considerate and treats every brother in the gang with courtesy.
To be a good gang leader, it is not enough to be able to fight and run a gang, you must also unite the gang members.
You must have many friends and few enemies.
Later, he simply booked more than 80 banquet tables at a nearby restaurant to entertain many brothers in the gang.
To Chu Xisheng's surprise, not only did Songfeng Jianlinshi not come that night, but Tienniu Jia Dali also refused to attend the banquet.
Lin Shi is a veteran figure of the Iron Banner Gang and a contemporary of the Tie Kuangren brothers. It is reasonable not to go with them. Jia Dali said that he is practicing Kung Fu and is at a critical juncture.
Convenient for banquets.
Chu Xisheng frowned slightly after hearing this, and temporarily suppressed his thoughts, changing glasses with everyone, talking and laughing loudly.
That night, Chu Xisheng was almost knocked down by these people again.
Chu Xisheng's drinking has increased recently.
He discovered that in martial arts novels, it was false to use internal force to force the drink out.
The water can be forced out of the pores, but the wine is mixed with the blood and will become thicker and thicker.
However, Chu Xisheng's physical fitness has greatly improved now. He can also spill wine on his chest and then use his true energy to evaporate it.
But no matter how strong Chu Xisheng's drinking capacity was, he couldn't sustain hundreds of people taking turns to drink at him.
Fortunately, Tie Kuangren warned them in advance and asked everyone to drink leisurely. After they had had enough wine and food, they went back to the main helm to discuss matters.
The opening of the incense hall is scheduled for tomorrow morning, and the meeting is scheduled for tonight's night.
Chu Xisheng felt that his head was almost dizzy from drinking, so he used the iron maniac's words as a shield and began to stop drinking.
And many of the hall masters and altar masters also left the table one after another and returned to the main helm after drinking and drinking.
At this time, Tie Kuangren, Tie Xiaosheng, Songfeng Jian, Linshi and Tie Niu Jia Dali were already waiting for them in the main helm's meeting hall.
What surprised Chu Xisheng was that his seat was placed first on the right, second only to Tie Xiaosheng opposite.
Tie Kuangren waited for everyone to sit down, and said in a solemn voice: "Tomorrow the Iron Banner Gang will open the incense hall. In addition to conferring titles on several new hall leaders, Chu Xisheng will also be awarded the position of deputy flag leader! From now on
From now on, Xi Sheng will be your young banner leader. If something unexpected happens to Tie in the future, Deputy Flag Master Chu will inherit the title of banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang."
Chu Xisheng's complexion suddenly changed and he stood up proactively: "Uncle Kuang, no! The Iron Flag Gang is the property that your brothers have built with so much hard work and overcoming obstacles. How can there be any reason to hand it over to outsiders? What's more, the flag owner has not yet reached the point where he has no doubts.
Age, with your cultivation, you will enter the second level in the future and live for three to four hundred years, so why do you need to establish a young banner leader?"
Although their martial arts cultivators are not as lively as their martial arts cultivators, they can still live much longer than normal people.
As long as a first-grade martial artist doesn't suffer any serious hidden injuries, it's not a problem to live for seven or eight hundred years.
"Not to mention Uncle Tie. I heard that both the Tie Family and the Iron Armor Sect are full of talented people. How can this young banner master get his nephew? He has only been a member of the Tie Banner Gang for a long time. He is already feeling uneasy when he suddenly ascends to the position of hall master.
I don’t dare to be the leader of this young banner.”
Chu Xisheng thought that he was very satisfied just having a Xishan Hall.
The annual income from Xishan Hall is enough to support him and Chu Yunyun to reach the fifth rank within two years.
If they can find some extra money in the future, this foundation can even support them to advance to the fourth level in the future.
As for the secret medicines after the fourth level, they cannot be bought with money.
Those things are all in the north, or in some forbidden areas.
The brothers and sisters need to take risks and go deep into the forbidden area to find medicinal materials, or rob them under the eyes of those giant gods.
The current Iron Banner Gang cannot help.
Tie Kuangren listened to Chu Xisheng's words with a smile.
It wasn't until Chu Xisheng finished speaking that Tie Kuangcai shook his head slightly and said: "Xiao Chu's words are indeed reasonable. The foundation of the Iron Flag Gang was indeed built by me and my brothers. However, what we Jianghu people value most is
Or fists! The leader of a gang needs to be strong, talented and virtuous. Otherwise, how can he be able to suppress a gang and deal with the stormy waves?
As for our Tie Family and Tie Jia Sect, I know better than you. We have some talents, but they are far from enough to support the sect and compete with the many famous families and powerful lords in Dongzhou. As for my brother, if it weren’t for your help last time
He escaped from the Fire Bone Cave, he can't even fight Long Heng, how can he support the Iron Flag Gang?"
When Tie Xiaosheng heard this, he couldn't help but touch the bridge of his nose with a sly expression.
It's okay to let him fight.
If he were in charge of the Iron Banner Gang, he would really not be able to defeat the snake of the Long family.
"As for me, although I am not old enough to be confused, but there are no swords and guns in the world, who can say that I will live a long life? What if the Iron Flag Gang is leaderless, how can it survive?"
Tie Kuangren flicked his robe sleeves at this time: "Letting you be the young flag leader is not only my brother's suggestion, but also everyone's wish. You don't need to refuse."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall stood up one after another.
"Exactly, Hall Master Chu has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, far-reaching wisdom, and is also good at wielding a sword! Now, except for the gang leader brothers in the hall, we will only obey you, hall master."
"Master Chu, please do not refuse. Your appointment as the Young Banner Master is exactly what everyone expects."
"This is a good thing! It can calm the hearts of everyone in my gang."
"Hall Master Chu, I am an outspoken person, so I will say it straight away. If you choose Hall Master Feng, you will be brave, but your head will not be reliable. If there is any chance that the Flag Master has his braids, only Hall Master Chu will inherit the Iron Banner Gang, everyone.
You won’t panic when something goes wrong, you have your backbone.”
That was an experienced head of the outer hall.
As soon as he said this, not only did Tie Xiaosheng's face turn slightly dark, but Tie Kuangren was also speechless for a while, thinking, does this guy really expect me to pull my hair out?
Everyone in the hall knew clearly that with Chu Xisheng's current momentum, sooner or later he would join the Wuxiang Divine Sect and become a true disciple of the First-Rank Divine Sect.
For a person like this, everyone naturally had to think of a way to tie him to the Iron Flag Gang's ship.
In the future, Chu Xisheng will become famous and everyone will be able to benefit from Chu Xisheng's glory.
If this young banner leader can be used to secure the ninth seat of the Ten Great Swordsmen, it will be a very cost-effective business.
Only Tieniu Jia Dali sat on the seat with a gloomy face and remained silent.
Chu Xisheng had nothing to say. He saw that the Tie family brothers were very strong-minded and the other brothers in the gang also supported him wholeheartedly. He could only clasp his fists in all directions and sit down with a wry smile.
Chu Xisheng did not make any promises.
He planned to wait a few days before discussing the matter with Brother Tie Kuangren and give him some advice.
At this time, Iron Maniac also changed his voice.
"Let's get down to business. You should all be aware of the peace talks between our Iron Banner Gang and those aristocratic families in the inner city, right? This is only a temporary measure. The prefect of this county has contracted to use the power of the government to intervene and suppress me, so I have to bow my head. But.
We, the Iron Banner Gang, will have to fall out with them sooner or later and fight again.
So during the armistice, you can't slack off. The Twelve Outer Halls of Xiushui need to pick up the business that was delayed before, step up the collection of resources, build new ships, and replenish manpower in preparation for the war! As a senior helper, you must try your best
To improve the realm of Yuan Gong, if you have reached the level of cultivation, you should do it. Don't delay. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow money from the gang.
Xunyang County's newly built six outer halls, you must stabilize the territory and recruit heroes. Each hall must have three hundred elite helpers, and you must work hard to build a strong stronghold! As for the chief helmsman——"
Tie Kuangren looked at Tie Xiaosheng and Lin Shi: "You also have something to do. The Haiqing Gang has lost Xishan Town and has greatly declined. There are no more than a thousand members in the gang. Now that we have our hands free, we can wipe them out.
.I agreed to shake hands and make peace with the families in the inner city, but I did not include the Haiqing Gang."
Following Tie Kuangren's instructions, everyone stood up and responded.
Tie Kuangren looked at Chu Xisheng with a smile at this time: "This truce is actually a good thing for your Xishan Hall. Your Xishan Hall can become stronger every day. I hope that within three months
, increase the number of Xishan Hall gang members to 2,000, recruit and place another 1,500 hunters and 2,000 woodcutters, and wipe out all the thieves in Xishan Hall, can we do it?"
There are only about seven to eight thousand adult hunters in the Western Mountains.
But in fact, the area in the Xishan Mountains is very large, stretching hundreds of miles vertically and horizontally. Just on the southern and eastern foothills of the Western Mountains, there is no problem in housing 30,000 to 50,000 hunters.
As long as the interior of Xishan becomes peaceful, a large number of hunters and woodcutter can be summoned to settle here.
Chu Xisheng said without hesitation: "I obey my orders!"
In his opinion, this is a piece of cake.
Those thieves in Xishan have lost their vitality and are no longer a match for Xishan Hall.
Iron Maniac nodded slightly: "In addition, your Xishan Hall must make preparations to expand its power along the Tai'an River towards Taishan County. You brothers and sisters are from Taishan County, so you can help our Iron Banner Gang recruit Taishan heroes and establish a foothold here.
"
Chu Xisheng looked embarrassed when he heard this. He couldn't even speak the local dialect of Taishan County properly.
Tie Kuangren looked solemn at this time: "The second thing we want to discuss next is Tie's promotion to the fourth rank!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire lobby condensed.
Everyone's expressions, including Chu Xisheng's, were extremely solemn.
Iron Madman's promotion to the fourth rank is related to the rise and fall of their Iron Banner Gang.
This chapter has been completed!
