Beside Cao Su, a clear whistle came from the sky, and the sword in his hand suddenly flew out.
Like a starlight, soaring upwards.
It stabbed the masked warrior straight in the face. If he didn't stop, he would be stabbed by Qingxiao's sword light next.
But Cao Su seemed to be stunned, sitting there all the time, motionless.
The masked warrior of the Qiang tribe turned over to avoid the sword light, but his dark fingers were like ghost claws. After a pause, he grabbed Cao Su's head again.
A third-level warrior, with internal energy surrounding his fingers, a strong wind forms on the surface of his body, and his movements are frighteningly fast.
"snort!"
Just when he pressed down and almost reached Cao Su, Cao Su leaned back, just in time to avoid the opponent's attack.
When Cao Su leaned back, he kicked upwards and sent the eucalyptus table in front of him flying upwards.
The two collided with each other, and the force of the exchange was like a shock wave, spreading in all directions.
"boom!
"
The explosion shook the entire racecourse.
Everyone was shocked by this turn of events!
Ma Yu and the Qiang boy who were fighting also stopped.
I saw Cao Su kicking away the strongest warrior in King Dan's tribe, and the two of them suddenly started moving, and the sound of doing so was as loud as thunder.
For third-level warriors, Qi is like substance, hovering above their heads.
The masked warrior of the Qiang tribe floated in the air, his eyes shot out two faint golden lights, his face was stern, and he stared at Cao Su below.
Cao Su looked up with a sneer.
The kicked-off eucalyptus table rolled countless times in the air before crashing to the ground.
All the rich food on the table was scattered on the floor.
All the sergeants under Cao Su were stunned and angrily drew out the shining weapons in their hands.
"Asshole!"
"Isn't that reasonable?"
"Sir, be careful!"
At the same time, Qing Xiao also brazenly raised his sword.
With a clear cry, the sword in his hand turned into a stream of light, like a flying dragon in the dark night, and rushed directly towards the masked warrior.
The masked warriors of the Qiang people are so skilled in movement that they look like ghosts in the air.
In an instant, like flowing water, it transformed into several figures and directly avoided Qingxiao's flying sword.
Those figures merged into one after a while.
Then he swooped down from the air with the power of thunder.
The speed was extremely fast, and he rushed in front of Cao Su in a moment.
Cao Su was well prepared, roared angrily, and the inner energy in his body burst out, turning into a violent wind formed by the inner energy, spreading in all directions.
"Stop fighting!"
Ma Liao, the head of the Ma family, was quite happy at first and thought more about it. He felt as if this matter could be done in a consistent manner.
Unexpectedly, when I turned around, the bonfire was extinguished.
The strongest warrior in the Qiang tribe rushed up to fight Cao Su!
The noise between the two fighting was even greater.
Comparing Ma Yu and the Qiang youth before, it was as if they were scratching an itch.
The Gang Feng on Cao Su's body is not that of a top-grade warrior. It is a natural Gang Feng formed by his own excessive internal energy. Being able to reach this level shows that Cao Su's internal strength cultivation is already very deep, and he is on par with top-grade masters. The gap between them is not as big as imagined.
"A mere third grade!"
Cao Su snorted coldly and drew out the horizontal knife from his waist.
This time when I went to the banquet, I didn't take the Otsutsuki sword with me. I held the sword in my hand, but it was also cold.
With a move to stir up the wind, Nilong flew out with a roar, and its overwhelming internal energy was like a mighty river, rushing towards the thundering enemies falling from the sky.
"boom!"
The two of them exchanged blows again, and this time the impact was even greater.
People around him could no longer stand, and countless tables and chairs were blown away.
Everyone looked shocked.
Especially Ma Yu and the Qiang youth who had just been fighting for a long time.
Although both of them knew that they were still far behind the masters of the fourth and third grades, they did not expect that the gap would be so big.
The movements of Cao Su and the Qiang masked warrior's casual attacks were as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking.
"What a great skill, I underestimated you!"
The Qiang warrior under the mask showed a hint of wonder.
Cao Su's hardness was higher than he imagined. Not only was this person rich in energy and blood, but his internal strength was also cultivated to an exaggerated level, which was definitely not something that ordinary fourth-level warriors could achieve.
From this preliminary battle, we can learn that Cao Su's true combat power has probably reached the peak of the fourth level.
With confidence in his mind, he moved more freely, executing each move with ease, showing everyone's style.
It was just Qingxiao's flying sword that he had to guard against.
Different systems have different prevention standards.
Even if you are at the third level, you must be more careful when facing the weird and complicated methods of the ascetics.
The same goes for cultivators. Even top masters in the late stage of pill formation must maintain sufficient restraint and distance when facing ordinary martial arts warriors. Otherwise, once they get close, the consequences will be disastrous.
The Qingxiao Flying Sword was extremely fast. After turning back, it transformed into ten again and shot towards the masked warrior in a dizzying manner.
His figure flickered and disappeared from the front of Cao Su.
Cao Su just happened to launch a Vajra Subduing Tiger Fist. The surging power of the fist seemed to be unstoppable as it swayed out and directly hit the few remaining bonfires on the ground.
All the burning logs flew out and the whole party became noisy.
At this time, everyone was barely able to react to this slightly chaotic situation.
Cao Su and the masked warrior had already stopped.
Cao Su looked at King Dan with a gloomy face.
The masked warrior hid behind King Dan and stopped taking action.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Cao Su held the sword with one hand and had an initial confrontation with the top-grade warrior. He did not suffer much loss. His eyes were full of murderous intent, like a lion about to eat people.
The king laughed loudly: "Today the Ma family is holding a banquet, and you and I are both guests, so we should compete in martial arts to add to the fun."
What King Dan meant was to degrade Cao Su into fighting with his guards and adding to the banquet.
The previous deliberate encouragement of Qiang youths to compete with Ma Yu was just a pretense. The real intention was to test Cao Su's skills.
Now the temptation has come, in public.
At the same time, I also learned that the alchemy-stage Qi practitioner next to Cao Su was also extraordinary.
If Cao Su was just a martial artist, it would be easy for him to come over this time and annihilate the three thousand Imperial Imperial Guards. But now that there is an additional Qi Refiner in the pill-forming stage, this matter must be carefully considered.
King Dan's eyes flickered, and his tone was quite natural.
Ma Liao looked at Cao Su's increasingly gloomy expression, and quickly jumped out to smooth things over. He landed in the middle of the two parties, deliberately showed an unhappy look, and glared at King Dan: "King Dan, we agreed to let's not talk about today's banquet.
Why are you taking action on state affairs again?"
"Today, those who came to my Ma family are my Ma's brothers. Where do you put me like this?"
Ma Liao said bitterly: "Ma saw that both of them were outstanding people at that time, and he really didn't want to see the two of them resorting to violence, ruining their harmony, hurting their loyalty, and causing all their lives to be ruined!"
Cao Su remained silent and stared at King Dan coldly.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really in a good mood, but the old comrade next to you is not very good at martial arts, but he is quite good at drawing witchcraft symbols."
When the witch talisman is painted on a warrior's body, the warrior's combat power will be doubled.
This is a traditional skill that combines Qiang warriors with witchcraft, and Cao Su has heard of it for a long time.
I had just fought against the warrior and saw the shamanistic paintings painted on his body.
The masked warrior looked dissatisfied when he saw Cao Su making fun of him, and turned away with a cold snort.
When Cao Su saw that today's banquet was already cold, he naturally didn't want to waste time here any longer.
He walked away in anger, just like an angry man after being hit.
It's just that his steps seemed a little frivolous, and when he left the banquet venue, his pace sped up a little.
The mask warrior of the Qiang tribe looked thoughtful when he saw this.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, and that Cao Su was not only dissatisfied with the Qiang people, but also had no good impression of the Ma family, King Dan suddenly became happy and asked Ma Liao to resign.
"Master Ma, the tiger father has no dogs. Ma Yu is so brave at such a young age, it's really admirable!"
"Farewell!"
After praising Ma Yu a few more words, King Dan turned and left.
He also took away the warriors and wizards accompanying him.
As these two parties left, the entire Ma family's banquet hall became a mess. The Ma family members who were singing and dancing just now, and the beautiful scene of singing and dancing, all disappeared.
Maliao's face was as dark as water, and he was holding the wine glass tightly in his hand, feeling confused for a moment.
But his seventeen-year-old son Ma Yu doesn't have so many worries.
He heard that the kings of the Qiang tribe spoke highly of him, and a look of pride appeared on his face: "Father, if those two people hadn't fought just now, I would have defeated that Qiang tribe warrior."
Ma Yu is invincible in Beiliang, but if the territory expands further, to Liangzhou, Xizhou and even the Qiang people, he is not the strongest now.
After hearing this, Maliao's face looked a little better.
The only good news is that my eldest son has become more and more brave as he grows older.
.........
.........
King Dan left the Ma family’s residence.
He took his entourage and headed north.
He suddenly said: "Cao Su is really injured?"
The accompanying tribe's number one master, an old warrior wearing a mask, said: "I'm afraid it's true. I've always wondered how a fourth-grade warrior could stop me."
"I guess some temporary secret technique was used, and it must have caused some injuries."
"Your Majesty, Cao Su is injured, and three thousand imperial troops are nothing to worry about. How about tonight?"
The masked warriors followed the king in his southern and northern campaigns. They had high military literacy and knew how to take advantage of victory and pursue it.
But King Dan didn't think so. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and rejected the proposal.
"Don't worry, three thousand forbidden troops is just a trivial matter, the Ma family's attitude is the most important."
"I spent so much energy to come to Beiliang this time, not to defeat the imperial army, but for the Ma family."
"The Ma family is a Northern Liang family. If the Ma family can help our Qiang people, it will have a far-reaching impact on the entire Anliang battlefield."
King Dan has an overall view, and he also has a lot of research on Qianyuan.
Especially in the states of Xizhou, there are relatively few wealthy gentry and nobles in Anzhou, so there is relatively little resistance for the Qiang people to move southward and eastward.
But Liangzhou is different. Although Liangzhou is poor, it has many gentry and gentry.
It is easy to plunder Liangzhou and then leave. To completely capture Liangzhou or to plunder part of the population and move north, we must conquer and divide some of the tycoons.
The Ma family is the key to this matter, so the king is not in a hurry to force the Ma family.
Now that Cao Su was injured, King Dan was even less anxious.
There is still some time before winter really starts, and those who are really anxious should be the people in the imperial court.
........
........
To the south, Cao Jun’s camp.
Cao Su entered the military camp.
His generals Zhang Ke, Li Li, Luo Yi and others were wearing military uniforms.
"grown ups?"
Several people received Cao Su's military order and had already led their sergeants to prepare for the attack.
Cao Su's eyes were cold, showing no trace of injury.
The murderous aura in his body rushed towards his face.
"Tonight we raise our troops and march north, we are going to crush the Qiang camp."
