The smoke and dust in the aftermath of this war are billowing and will not dissipate for a long time.

Just as it dissipated, two figures emerged, back to back.

Zhu Hao was kneeling alone, holding a sword. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, which was obviously an internal injury.

Behind him, Yan Hongchen was still holding the bloodthirsty heavy halberd, his figure was tall and straight, but his fighting spirit was undiminished despite being covered in blood.

Zhu Hao's Ten Thousand Swords Slash move was a perfect move that he used all his cultivation to execute at the right time.

But Yan Hongchen was different. He just displayed the third style of the War King Halberd, "Hundred Battles on the Wild Sands".

Almost all the strength has been drained, and the current cultivation level cannot be used at all, because the energy of one's own cultivation is far from enough to support this move, and it will be a hundred battles in the sand.

This is a big risk. If it is not done right, it is very possible that Yan Hongchen will be counterattacked by this move, causing his cultivation to regress.

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for the Bloodthirsty Halberd to persuade him to retreat. In the end, when he knew that he could not be persuaded, the Bloodthirsty Halberd helped Yan Hongchen and injected the Bloodthirsty Tribe's secret method into his body, and then he managed to successfully cast it.

At this time, Yan Hongchen was at the end of his strength. The only strength that kept him standing was his unyielding fighting spirit and the stubborn dignity that belonged to the men of the Yan family.

A neat line of city defense teams dispersed the crowd in a mighty manner and surrounded the two people.

A strong man in armor who looked like a captain shouted: "If you dare to hurt my young master, I will kill him."

More than a dozen soldiers, all at the pinnacle of human martial arts, were ready to attack Yan Hongchen, who looked like a bloody man.

When Yan Hongchen saw it, he was immediately overjoyed. How could he let go of those fat men? He was worried that he would not die so that he could recover his vitality. Who would have thought that he would actually give away the essence and blood of a dozen or so people in the martial arts realm?

Zhu Hao hurriedly tried to stop him, but was still a step too late. He saw Yan Hongchen casually sweep his halberd, leaving mummies broken into two parts all over the ground.

After several years of killing, the bloodthirsty halberd has become a hundred times sharper than before. Even if it does not use any tactics, the bloodthirsty halberd itself cannot be easily resisted by this group of chickens and dogs.

A stream of clear water flowed into the dry sea of ​​Dantian Qi. Gradually, the scars on Yan Hongchen's body recovered at an extremely fast speed, and the originally dazed spirit gradually recovered.

Zhu Hao hurriedly stood up and turned to the soldier captain with an angry expression: "Do you want to die? Why did I need you to take action in my battle?"

Seeing that Zhu Hao was angry, the guard captain's eyes showed embarrassment and said: "The city lord is worried about you, so he sent us here."

Zhu Hao, seeing Yan Hongchen recovering as if nothing was wrong, secretly muttered in his heart: "What a monster."

Zhu Hao came to Yan Hongchen, clasped his fists and said, "I am proud of myself. I have broken all my strongest swords with you, and I lost half of your moves. And your cultivation level is still lower than mine. The outcome has been decided. You win."

.”

Yan Hongchen said in his heart, this Zhu Hao is also a person who can be arrogant and humble at the same time. Now that he has given me a step up, of course I should give him a step back. Victory or defeat is just a word.

In terms of reality and strength, if it were a life and death battle, Yan Hongchen would be dead, while Zhu Hao would just suffer some internal injuries.

Yan Hongchen also clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zhu has already said that we can only count this battle as a draw."

The two of them immediately smiled happily, just like meeting an opponent in chess or meeting a close friend in wine.

Zhu Hao said: "Let's go and have a drink at Piaoxianglou. What do you think?"

Yan Hongchen said: "That's what I meant

…”

Immediately, the two of them headed towards the most famous luxury restaurant in Mercenary City.

Only a group of people were left, looking at each other and looking at you, with their heads full of question marks.

Piaoxiang Tower is located in the middle of Mercenary City. It is a gorgeous three-story building. It is considered the best place in Mercenary City. Of course, its consumption is also conceivable.

When they arrived at a private dining room, they were polite and the two of them came to sit down one after another.

Zhu Hao picked up the wine glass and said, "May I ask, are your brothers from the Yan family?"

Yan Hongchen became a little uneasy and said, "Brother Zhu, why did you say this?"

Zhu Hao also realized that his question might be a bit abrupt, so he said: "Zhu, I don't have any other intention. I just saw that you possess the halberd technique, and you are unparalleled. Looking at the huge bright moon, I am afraid that only after the God of War, the Yan family can

There is such a profound halberd technique."

Indeed, the Yan family has admired the king of soldiers for generations, Fang Tian painted a halberd, ever since the undefeated God of War Yan returned to the city.

The weapon he used to achieve great fame back then, the Fang Tian Painted Halberd, has been passed down as a token by successive generations of Yan family heads.

In addition to the Yan family's halberd technique, who knows about the bright moon when looking up? And who doesn't know about it? Thinking of this, Yan Hongchen felt relieved.

He cupped his fists and said, "I am a member of the Yan family, Yan Hongchen."

Hearing this, Zhu Hao suddenly became confused and thought about it. He had heard of the Yan family.

Even though the Yan family has been extremely quiet for so many years, with almost no rumors, after all, it is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is obviously difficult to not attract attention.

Seeing this, Yan Hongchen said: "Brother Zhu, don't you believe me?"

Zhu Hao, while thinking, said: "I heard that the son of the head of the Yan family is called Yan Hongchen. Didn't he say that he is a sick young man who cannot practice cultivation?"

Hearing this, Yan Hongchen was speechless. He didn't expect that he was quite famous. To be precise, the Yan family was still very concerned.

He said to Zhu Hao: "Brother Zhu, the person mentioned is exactly me, but I have recovered from my chronic illness."

Zhu Hao suddenly realized and said: "I see, it seems that the rumors cannot be fully believed. How can the son of the dignified Saint Yan be an ordinary person? Isn't that the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

"Sage Yan?" Yan Hongchen was a little puzzled upon hearing this.

Obviously Yan Hongchen has never heard of this term at all, Yan Shengren, isn’t that an honorific title that can only be found in the realm of saints?

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Yan, you don't know my father's reputation? You shouldn't!"

Yan Hongchen hurriedly responded and said: "I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I rarely see my father. Furthermore, my father holds an important position and has many official duties."

"I see. It seems that Brother Yan and I have experienced very similar experiences."

Speaking of this, Zhu Hao's eyes suddenly turned cold. You must know that for many years, Zhu Wen was born and died, but he failed to fulfill his responsibility as a father. He only spent all day long spending time with some concubine.

"Let's have a drink. It's fate that you and I can sit here in Piaoxiang Tower and talk freely over wine today. I, Zhu Hao, recognize you as my friend."

"Qian, what Brother Zhu said is absolutely true."

The two of them toasted back and forth, chatting happily, and were already a little tipsy.

Yan Hongchen asked: "Brother Zhu, there is something I don't understand."

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Yan, please speak."

"What I want to say is that you are called the Three Heroes by the empire. Now I have seen Brother Zhu, what kind of strength are the other two."

"Brother Yan, now you are talking about my injury..."

Zhu Hao surprisingly put on a look that was full of speeches and ready to go. Regarding the title of Three Heroes, he, Zhu Hao, has always been helpless.

According to Zhu Hao, when he entered Haoyue Academy, he practiced crazily and then continued to challenge various opponents.

Later, at Haoyue Academy, after only two years of enrollment and training, it was difficult to find an opponent of the same period with his ruthless sword power.

Later, Zhu Hao's reputation spread throughout Haoyue Academy, and he was named the third outstanding person in the empire. However, Zhu Hao was a proud man. In his heart, there was only one outstanding person, so how could there be three outstanding ones?

He found it. At that time, the Bai family, a martial arts family in the Haoyue Empire, challenged the genius Bai Shaohan. Who knew that Bai Shaohan only used one move to defeat Zhu Hao.

Later, Zhu Hao was unwilling to do so and challenged Bai Shaohan many times one after another, but was defeated with one move each time.

In recent years, when Zhu Hao entered the Earth Martial Realm, he thought of looking for Bai Shaohan to challenge him, but he heard that Bai Shaohan was in seclusion and was said to be trying to attack the Tian Martial Realm.

At the same level, Zhu Hao was no more than Bai Shaohan's enemy with one move. After entering the Tianwu realm, Zhu Hao was even less of a match for him, so Zhu Hao simply gave up.

Finally, Zhu Hao thought that among the three heroes, the second prince, Haoyue Changfeng, had always been the number one, but Haoyue Changfeng didn't bother to pay attention to Zhu Hao at all and couldn't even meet him.

But according to Zhu Hao's understanding, the second prince may have already entered the realm of Tianwu.

The Tianwu realm is a realm that is difficult for ordinary cultivators to cross. The Tianwu realm requires wisdom and great perseverance to achieve.

If it were easy to cross, then Bai Shaohan wouldn't have been in seclusion for so long.

Now, the only one left is Zhu Hao, who is still in the middle stage of the Earth Martial Realm, so Zhu Hao is lost. The two parallel figures of his generation have left him far away. From another perspective, Zhu Hao is basically

He is not qualified to be ranked among the top three heroes with them.

Therefore, every time when he heard someone call him one of the Three Heroes, Zhu Hao would feel an inexplicable anger. In his heart, it was a kind of irony and a shame.

That's why Zhu Hao resigned from school and returned to the mercenary city. After saying this, Zhu Hao filled the wine again and took a big sip for himself.

Hearing these words, Yan Hongchen was deeply moved, just like he himself, who had been unable to practice for sixteen years, was frail and sick, and was laughed at by saying that he was like a tiger father and a dog son.

Yan Hongchen sighed and said: "Brother Zhu, live in the present. A man should strive for self-improvement and be free and easy. This is just a small setback. I believe that Brother Zhu is a man of great perseverance. He must not be just because of it."

Bai Shaohan, the bright moon and the bright wind, have become decadent. I believe that one day, the two of them will become the stepping stones for you to soar to the sky, Brother Zhu."

Hearing this, Zhu Hao said: "Brother Yan, what you said is absolutely true. A man should constantly strive for self-improvement. How can he become decadent because of these two people? Unfortunately, it is not easy to surpass them."

Yan Hongchen knew very well that since he was not in Zhu Hao's position, he could not understand his pain at all, so he simply did not say anything more.

After drinking with Zhu Hao until the evening, Zhu Hao was already drunk and unconscious. Yan Hongchen called the shopkeeper and arranged for him to rest.

Returning to his residence, Yan Hongchen sat cross-legged in the room.
