At the same time, from the top of a restaurant in the distance, you could just see the remote alley where the fight was taking place.
The morning sun had just risen, and the golden morning light outlined Prince Jing Dongfang Liren's heroic yet bright cheeks. He stood at the window with his hands behind his hands, his eyes showing approval:
"Good skills, but this guy's foundation is as solid as a rock."
The white-haired old woman with floor-length hair stood behind her, shaking her head slightly:
"She Long didn't take a breath with every punch. He really has a good foundation, but he is too young, reckless, ignorant of the depths of the world, and doesn't understand the slightest rules. He just relies on his fierce energy to work hard. How about calling She Long and the others back?
"
"You're all here, help this kid grow a memory, so that he won't become arrogant and bump into the Holy Emperor in the palace in the future."
The white-haired old woman nodded slightly and said no more.
In the alley.
Ye Jingtang held the blade tightly, paying attention to the powerful enemies flanked by him. In fact, he already had a long memory - he used to be invincible in the border town, but after arriving in the capital for only a few days, all the people he met were fucking gods.
, it’s impossible to be careless in the future.
Seeing that the two people did not attack, Ye Jingtang said coldly:
"Yang Guan, this is the help you can find?!"
These two helpers were definitely not found by Yang Guan. After all, these two men were both called "Black and White Wuchang", and his master, the Sanjue Immortal, had to go around when he saw them.
Being a martial arts master is an honor and there is no clear limit. There are many methods of evaluation in Jianghu. One of them is to treat Black and White Wuchang as the 'examiner'.
Those who can defeat one of them in the world, or escape unscathed when the two join forces, are considered true masters. It can also be said that black and white and impermanence are the standard line for masters.
Although Yang Guan was the tool of the captured young man, he still felt very happy when someone gave him vent and said:
"These two masters are close friends of the family. Do you really think that Yang can have no connections if he is hanging around in the capital?"
Ye Jingtang's eyes darkened, and he paid attention to the movements of the two people on the left and right, waiting for the opportunity to move.
'Iron Arm Impermanence' She Long has no interest in bullying the children. This trip was ordered by King Jing to come and feel the foundation of Ye Jing Tang. He has already seen that the foundation of Ye Jing Tang is very strong, but his skills are poor.
Wang Baquan.
Seeing that Prince Jing refused to stop, She Long strode forward again.
Dong dong dong——
The steps are not fast, but steady and powerful, as if walking towards an iron tower.
Night Terror Hall was able to cut down the iron man, but the ghost figure could not touch it directly. After weighing it, he gritted his teeth and jumped up to the side, as if he wanted to climb over the courtyard wall to break out.
'Ghost Shadow Impermanence' was gradually recovering from his injuries, and when he saw that Ye Jingtang didn't know his real kung fu, he was hit by a palm on his right shoulder and fell into a sluggish state. He had no intention of intervening and just watched from the alley.
She Long, on the other hand, dodged and came first, arriving at the left side of the Night Terror Hall. He raised his hand and punched out again.
Bang——
The fist was powerful and heavy, creating a cross wind in the alleyway!
Judging from the situation, Ye Jingtang would be punched down within three feet of jumping up.
But what people didn't expect was that before She Long's fist hit, his face suddenly changed and he raised his arms to dodge!
Choking——
The next moment, a dragon-like roar of a knife suddenly came from the alley!
Qingshi Old Alley, a flash of sword light!
when--
It was the same crisp sound of gold and iron clashing, but this time it brought out a blood mist.
She Long's leaping figure was shaken backwards by the huge force, and the sleeves and robes of his left arm were shattered, revealing a strong bronze arm.
But the forearm, which was as solid as stone, was no longer intact. There was a stab wound deep into the bone. It was shocking and blood sprayed out.
呲——
Shang Jianli, who was watching at the entrance of the alley, saw this scene with incredible eyes.
She Long's arm has been tempered for decades, and it is like a magical weapon. I don't know how many people in the world want to remove it, but if it can penetrate the flesh of a finger, it is already considered a fierce man.
This guy can "cut bones with a single blow", which shows how strong his physique and majestic inner strength are.
But that’s not the point. A serious foreign master can hit She Long with a ‘cut to the bone’. The point is the speed with which the sword is struck!
Shang Jianli could clearly see that She Long had noticed this son's intention in advance and started to dodge as soon as the knife was unsheathed.
Both sides moved at the same time. She Long, as a master of his family, had rich fighting experience, but his arm was still severely injured. This only shows that She Long tried his best to avoid this extremely overbearing sword.
Shang Jianli has been in the martial arts world for so many years, and in my impression, the only sword technique that can match the explosive power of this sword is Junshantai's "Dragon Slaying Order".
If it was the "Dragon Slaying Order" of the Xuanyuan family, She Longtuo was hit by a knife when he got close to him, and then he would be severely injured by several consecutive blows.
This player has an explosive power comparable to that of "Dragon Slayer Order", and the possibility of not being able to last-hit is very small, so Shang Jianli immediately rushed forward to help.
She Long also knew something was wrong and flew away quickly.
But what surprised the two of them was that Night Terror Hall did not give the opponent a great opportunity to hit the target due to his unstable body.
Ye Jingtang retreated behind the enemy with a knife. The blade sheathed instantly, and he resumed his hand movements. Then he kicked on the courtyard wall and chased after She Long whose left arm was damaged.
If he could catch up, She Long would no longer be worthy of being called a master.
Seeing She Long dodge in the air and get out of the way, Ye Jingtang exploded with all his strength and attacked Yang Guan directly!
This move is not to kill the red-eye and replace him with another one, but to capture the hostage.
No matter how strong he is, he only knows this one sword, but the two of them are unfathomable. If they don't show up for him to cut, it will be difficult for him to catch up and he can't escape. The only way to survive is to take his employer as a hostage.
Yang Guan didn't expect Ye Jingtang to be able to break through Iron Arm Wuchang's defense with one strike, and the shock in his eyes could not be greater.
But seeing Ye Jingtang rushing toward him, Yang Guan's expression instantly turned into horror, and he knelt down on his knees and shouted:
"hurt……"
Before the words were spoken, Ye Jingtang had already grabbed Yang Guan's neck, walked around behind him, and held the handle of the knife with his left hand, ready to go.
And the opponent...
Shang Jianli didn't care about Yang Guan's life or death at all, so he didn't react at all. He floated in front of him like a ghost, stretched out his white palms, and stabbed Yang Guan's chest and abdomen. He looked like he was preparing to "pierce a candied haws" and pull out the night terror.
Heart.
The Night Terror Hall was shocked. They never expected that these two people would go crazy and even kill their employer!
Knowing that slashing with the knife would most likely be useless, Ye Jingtang gritted his teeth and wanted to try the palm technique Luo Ning taught yesterday against this ghost.
But the words that Yang Guan had not spoken yet were finally spat out at this time:
"Save me from the injury hunter..."
As soon as this statement came out, the secret was revealed.
Ye Jingtang instantly realized that it was someone from the imperial court who was testing him, so he stopped the palm he was about to strike.
But Shang Jianli stopped when he saw Ye Jingtang, so naturally he would not really wear the candied haws, so he walked back lightly, landed three feet away, and resumed his standing posture like a wooden man:
"Young Master Ye is good at swordsmanship. He is only eighteen years old, and his physical strength is not inferior to that of ordinary masters. This talent really puts Shang Mou to shame, but he does not have much real skills, which is a pity."
On the top of the wall, She Long's left arm muscles surged, and he stopped bleeding. He jumped down from the high wall, raised his bamboo hat, and revealed a slightly surprised face:
"This sword is really overbearing. If Mr. Ye hadn't revealed his murderous intention in advance because of his inexperience, and he only knew how to use this sword, I might not have been able to leave this alley today."
Night Terror Hall bumped into two ghosts early in the morning. I was in an extremely bad mood and said in a deep voice:
"Excuse me. These two adults are well-known masters. Isn't it appropriate to come here to bully a junior like me?"
Shang Jianli did not respond, but looked at She Long beside him and asked:
"Is this "Eight Steps of Crazy Sword"?"
When Ye Jingtang heard this, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that the blame for cheating his adoptive father would be placed on him.
His adoptive father had wandered around in the world before, and he didn't know whether he had done any harm to the world. However, his adoptive father's enemy, Dao Kuai, Xuanyuan Chao, was a professed "Junshan Marquis" of the imperial court, and he had a close relationship with the imperial court.
If the imperial court discovers that he knows the "Eight-Step Crazy Sword", the Xuanyuan Dynasty will know that if they want to eradicate the root cause...
Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang calmly grasped the handle of the knife and wanted to fight to the death to break out of the encirclement.
But what Ye Jingtang didn't expect was that after She Long was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said:
"It's not like that. I've seen Zheng Feng before. The starting point of this sword is a bit like Zheng Feng's sword technique, but the power is very different. It belongs to the 'dragon and python difference'."
?
Ye Jingtang was stunned and thought to himself: Are you blind? Can I practice the sword skills taught by my adoptive father?
Shang Jianli asks:
"Who is the dragon and who is the python?"
She Long gestured to his bleeding arm:
"What do you think?"
The injury gradually became clear to the heart - Master Zheng Feng was famous, but Zheng Feng's sword skills were really average. If he had this terrifying power, how could he be crippled at such a young age?
There was a bit of surprise in Shang Jianli's eyes. He looked at Ye Jingtang carefully and recalled the famous swordsmen in the world. He really couldn't find similar sword skills, so he asked:
"Young Master Ye, what is the name of this sword of yours?"
The starting position of "Eight-Step Crazy Sword"...
Ye Jingtang felt that these two pretenders didn't have any eyesight, so they recognized them all, and they still forced themselves to explain to him here.
But the other party was blind, so he naturally would not take the initiative to confess, and started talking nonsense:
"White cut!"
"grumble?"
Niaoniao poked his head from the wall: "?"
"Bai Zhan..."
She Long nodded and asked again:
"Did you create this sword yourself, or did someone teach you it?"
My adoptive father taught me...
Faced with the policeman's questions, Ye Jingtang couldn't help but continue to talk nonsense:
"On the way to escort, I suddenly saw a big river falling from the top of the mountain..."
She Long raised his hand and interrupted: "I understand, I accidentally realized it from heaven and earth. Unfortunately, now there is only one sword and no back-up plan."
"Indeed, it makes the two adults laugh..."
————
While they were communicating in the alleyway, there were also discussions on the top floor of the restaurant in the distance.
Dongfang Liren's eyes were no longer as cold as before, with a hint of surprise:
"I don't know any real kung fu, but my foundation is as strong as an entry-level master, and even better than me... How did you practice this? Or is he deliberately hiding his clumsiness?"
"This kid really only knows how to use one sword. He has great internal energy and a strong physique. Maybe he didn't have the guidance of an expert, but he has good talent and hard work, and he trained hard with his fists and kicks."
People from Dongfang Li had heard the story that "you practice swordsmanship in the ravines for decades, and you will become a swordsman when you emerge from the mountains", but this was the first time that you actually met him.
"Even if you have the background of an entry-level master, it is too unbelievable to kill She Long with one knife without any backhand... Is the "Eight-Step Crazy Sword" so domineering?"
The white-haired old woman frowned and said solemnly:
"Kangyazi's sword is indeed unmatched by anyone of the same level, but Zheng Feng's sword is definitely not so domineering. In my opinion, this sword is considered a masterpiece, and Zheng Feng's "Eight Steps of Crazy Sword"
, they are fakes that have gone astray, they are similar in spirit and appearance, but they are completely two different things.”
"You were taught by Kuangyazi?"
"Kuai Yazi was hunted down by people all over the world because of "The Singing Dragon Picture" and could not survive until now. It is said that when Zheng Feng met Kuang Yazi, Kuang Yazi was already exhausted... I estimate that Zheng Feng has not yet
After learning the eight steps of Kuangyazi, Kuangyazi died; Zheng Feng didn't learn the essence, and without the guidance of his master, he crossed the river by feeling the stones and took the wrong path... As for this child's sword, Kuangyazi could not have imagined it while he was alive.
In this way, the source of sword skills is indeed difficult to figure out..."
"Could it be that Zheng Feng retired to the mountains and forests these years and realized Kuangyazi's sword skills? Did he teach it to Ye Jingtang?"
The white-haired old woman shook her head: "Zheng Feng was crippled by the Xuanyuan Dynasty. Martial arts training is a problem. You can't achieve enlightenment out of thin air. And even if you teach, you won't just teach one sword."
Dongfang Liren nodded slightly and glanced at the Night Terror Hall in the distance:
"It's impossible for Kuangyazi to teach it. Zheng Feng himself has gone astray and can't teach it... If he realized this sword by himself, wouldn't his understanding be higher than this king's?"
That's too high...
The white-haired old woman knew that Prince Jing was high-spirited and did not dare to attack His Highness Prince Jing, so she just said politely;
"If this man could figure out this sword by himself, his understanding would be unparalleled. However, there are many martial artists in the world who have 'one trick', and most of them have no success and have nothing to do with it. If you can use this as a guide, you can extend the knowledge of a martial arts."
There are only a few people. The specific achievements will have to be seen in the future."
Dongfang Liren said no more.
Seeing that she was still waiting for orders in the alley, the white-haired old woman spoke again:
"Your Highness, it's time to send the portrait to the Holy One for inspection, so that this son can go back to freshen up and be summoned by the Holy One."
"..."
Dongfang Liren stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the unparalleled and handsome Night Terror Hall in the distance, and remained silent for a while:
"The Holy One is not interested in martial arts. This boy has great talent in martial arts. If he is really chosen, it would be a pity to give up martial arts and follow literature in the future. Well... there is no need to give him the portrait. Give him a plaque from Prince Jing's Mansion. If needed in the future,
You can come to the palace to visit at any time."
?
When the white-haired old woman heard these words, she felt as if she was the emperor who had expired, intercepted the handsome man, and enriched his personal pockets...
But what Prince Jing said makes sense. Once you are favored by the empress, your treatment will be similar to that of a consort, no matter how good you are. You will not be able to serve as an official, and you will not be able to leave the emperor's presence. If you still "accompany the emperor like a tiger," you are destined to be unable to hold your head up for the rest of your life.
The white-haired old woman also cherished her talent, nodded and said:
"As commanded."
------
In the alleyway.
She Long's arm was chopped by Ye Jingtang, and he left first for treatment. Only Shang Jianli was left standing there, talking nonsense with Ye Jingtang, waiting for orders from above.
After waiting for a long time, a black police officer ran into the alleyway and whispered a few words to Shang Jianli.
After Shang Jianli listened, he took a waist card and threw it to Ye Jingtang:
"The swordsman Zheng Hao's sword skills are similar to the shape of your sword. Zheng Hao and Qiu Tianhe know each other, and Qiu Tianhe is an important criminal in the court. I have been ordered to investigate this matter. I came here today for routine interrogation. I hope Mr. Ye will forgive me for disturbing you."
Ye Jingtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency, you should act impartially. I should cooperate with you. Just find out the matter."
"Young Master Ye is very talented and is highly appreciated by Prince Jing. He is specially given a waist badge for Young Master Ye. From now on, Young Master Ye will be a guest of Prince Jing's palace."
Ye Jingtang took the sign from Prince Jing's Mansion and looked at it, quite surprised.
With this waist card, you can probably go directly to the palace to ask for an audience with Prince Jing, but the bigger meaning is 'relationship'.
Prince Jing is the biological sister of the current Holy Emperor, and she is extremely favored. This can be seen from the fact that she made an exception by naming one of her princesses as a 'prince'.
Having a badge that allows you to enter and leave Prince Jing's palace means that you have a close relationship with Prince Jing. No matter who you are, princes or generals, if you want to touch this person, you must first ask what Prince Jing wants.
But once you show your sign, it means that Prince Jing has settled the matter for you, and this favor is never easy to repay.
Ye Jingtang thought about it for a moment, put the sign away, and bowed his hand:
"Thank you King Jing for your appreciation. Is King Jing nearby?"
Shang Jianli couldn't answer very well, so he mumbled something:
"Prince Jing is everywhere."
Turn around and leave.
"..."
Ye Jingtang thought this was a good pretense, so he raised his head and looked around, and suddenly found Yang Guan, who was facing the corner and pretending to be dead!
"Sir Shang, are Yang Guan really a close friend of the two of you?"
The injury gradually left his head and he didn't look back: "No." After saying that, he disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
"..."
The old bluestone alley became quiet.
"grumble!"
The bird jumped out from the wall, and the ferocious spirit controlled its wings, probably signaling - kill him majestically!
Yang Guan, who had led Ye Jingtang into the encirclement, suffered a big loss when he saw Black and White Wuchang. He even put on his trousers and refused to recognize anyone. His face turned pale and he raised his hands:
"Master Ye, wait a moment...hisss——"
Before he finished speaking, there was a gasping sound.
Ye Jingtang was beaten by a mixed team of black and white in the morning. It was not easy to get angry when facing people from the government. It was considered that he was holding back his anger.
Seeing Gui Cha leave, he raised his hand and pulled a knife on Yang Guan's intact right arm.
Cha——
"Want to offload my hands and feet?"
Yang Guan didn't dare to scream, he lowered his arms, gritted his teeth and smiled:
"Yang was also forced. I really can't afford to offend Black and White Wuchang, so I can only follow the orders, otherwise I wouldn't dare to provoke Young Master. Young Master Ye is good at swordsmanship. I admire you. Young Master Ye, walk slowly..."
Ye Jingtang returned his long sword to its sheath, put Niao Niu on his shoulder, and quickly walked out of the alleyway...
