Wu Xu got very drunk at Sun Yang's shop and returned to his mansion with Xu Zhiqiong.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Xu Zhiqiong wanted to leave, but was kept by Wu Xu.
"Let's go later. I'll teach you a sword technique, which will definitely come in handy in the future!"
Another knife skill?
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Qianhu, I am not a Taoist cultivator of killing. Can I really learn your sword skills?"
Wu Xu said: "It's hard to say now. When you reach the sixth level and your combat power increases dramatically, you may be able to understand the subtleties of it."
After saying that, Wu Xu pulled out his long sword, raised it in the air, and then slashed straight down.
"Come on, do it once."
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a while, then turned to Wu Xu and said, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but this is also called sword technique?"
What is the difference between this and chopping firewood?
Wu Xu said: "This move is called Tiger Killing! Don't look at the shape of the knife, don't look at the moves, just focus on the intention of the knife, and concentrate all the energy on the blade's edge, which is smaller than the tip of a needle."
All qi machines are concentrated in a point smaller than the tip of a needle?
How is this possible?
Xu Zhiqiong made a slash without any special feeling.
Wu Xu said: "The cultivators of the Way of Killing have deep Qi and have difficulty concentrating. You, the judge, have less Qi and are good at using the power of imagery, and focus your thoughts on the blade. Try again."
Xu Zhiqiong tried again, but there was still nothing special.
Wu Xu shook his head and said: "It's far from that. Your Qi is bigger than your fist. Remember the key points. Forget about the shape of the knife and the way to draw the knife. Just remember the position of the blade point, concentrate your thoughts, and draw out the knife quickly."
Xu Zhiqiong tried it a dozen more times, and suddenly a spark burst from the blade.
How come the blade sparks without hitting a hard object?
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "Is this the power of Tiger Killing?"
"Your current qi machine is about the size of an egg, far from the tip of a needle." Wu Xu took Xu Zhiqiong's saber and used his nails to make a gap on the blade, "Concentrate all your thoughts on this gap.
,try again."
Xu Zhiqiong concentrated his thoughts and slashed with one sword, and there were more sparks.
After practicing for an hour, Xu Zhiqiong finally mastered the key, and sparks flew every time he used the knife.
But Wu Xu was still dissatisfied. Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was exhausted, he sighed and said: "That's it, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. Please study harder in the future!"
Xu Zhiqiong gasped: "Qianhu, my energy has been concentrated to the size of a pinhead. If my energy is insufficient, there is nothing I can do."
"Fingernails are about the same size, but how many needle points can one nail hold?"
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said: "If it is really the size of a pinhead, how powerful can it be?"
"Power?" Wu Xu smiled, pulled out his saber, and with a wave of his hand, a cloud of smoke and dust erupted from the courtyard wall two feet away.
Xu Zhiqiong leaned over and took a look. The courtyard wall was more than a foot thick, and a knife mark more than a foot long and as wide as a hair's breadth neatly penetrated the courtyard wall.
The knife didn't even touch the courtyard wall, but actually cut it open?
Xu Zhiqiong was horrified, Wu Xu said: "I only used the Qi of the seventh level to have such power. I used this sword to kill Fan Baocai that day. When you reach the sixth level and the Qi is full, this sword
It’s enough for you to compete with high-quality and powerful enemies.”
Forget the shape of the knife, forget the moves, and just focus on the intention of the knife.
If this move could be combined with Xue Yun's sword skills, wouldn't it be extremely exquisite?
But Xue Yun's sword technique pays most attention to the shape of the sword, which is contradictory...
While thinking, Wu Xu turned around and walked towards the backyard. After taking two steps, he stopped, looked back at the courtyard wall, blinked and said, "Is this my courtyard?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
Wu Xu stared at the knife mark for a long time: "Tomorrow, find a plasterer to repair the courtyard wall."
Xu Zhiqiong curled his lips and whispered: "You cut it yourself, why do you want me to repair it?"
Wu Xu pulled out his sword and said, "Cultivation more carefully!"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I'll go find the craftsman right away."
Wu Xu returned to the backyard, entered Xinchu's room, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep.
Xin Chu quietly got up, went to the next door, and called Jiang Feili.
"Come on, you marry him tonight. After this night, are you still afraid that he will not marry you in the future? I will teach you some methods later, don't be shy, I guarantee that he will not be able to leave you in the future!"
Jiang Feili was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this adultery?"
Xin Chu said: "This opportunity must not be missed. The time will never come again. If you miss tonight, you will regret it!"
Jiang Feili bit her finger and said, "Let me think about it for a few days..."
"Just think about it," Xin Chu sneered, "We'll have a wedding banquet next month, so don't cry then."
"Next month is still far away, I'll think about it again..."
…
At Hai hour the next day, Chen Yuanzhong led one hundred and twenty lantern-carrying men to Liu Langzhong's outer house in Beiyuan.
At this moment, Liu Xuxing was in the house, trying to catch a fifth-grade middle man. In fact, there was no need to send out so many people, because before leaving, Emperor Zhaoxing sent someone to send a handwriting, reminding Zhong Shen that there might be poisonous insects in the house, and asked him to
Bring extra hands, so Zhong Shen needs to be extra careful.
Chen Yuanzhong asked the lantern-carrying soldiers to divide into two groups, block the front and back doors, and ordered Qiao Shungang and Qu Jinshan to call the door.
Qiao Shung just knocked on the door, and the servant opened the door and said numbly: "Who are you looking for?"
Qu Jinshan smiled and said: "Let's find the doctor."
"The doctor is not here, you go to his house..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Shungang kicked the servant down, and Chen Yuanzhong complained: "Why are you still so reckless?"
Qiao Shungang spat: "I'm too lazy to waste words with them. Brothers, follow me!"
"What are you going to do!" Chen Yuanzhong said angrily, "Let Qu Dengshou go take a look first!"
Qu Jinshan took two lantern men who knew the magic of yin and yang and walked into the courtyard first. Except for the servant who opened the door, there was no one in the front yard.
He sprinkled a piece of red medicinal powder in the yard and waited for half a cup of tea. The powder did not change color, which proved that there were no poisonous insects in the front yard.
Qu Jinshan waved the lantern, and Chen Yuanzhong led everyone into the courtyard. After passing the hanging flower gate, Qu Jinshan arrived in the backyard and saw Liu Xuxing sitting in the middle of the courtyard, with more than seventy people sitting around him.
Qiao Shungang stood behind the hanging flower door and said with a smile: "Damn, this family is really big, are they all together? Didn't I mention before that there are more than 20 people?"
Qu Jinshan sprinkled medicinal powder here, but there was no change in color, and there were no poisonous insects in the backyard.
Seeing Liu Xuxing's attitude, he had no intention of resisting.
Chen Yuanzhong stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liu, have you confessed your crime?"
Liu Xuxing nodded.
Qiao Shungang grinned and said: "If I had known you were so happy, why would you have brought so many people here? Zhiqiong, tie him up for me and send him back to the Yamen. I will take the brothers to Goulan to wait for you!"
Xu Zhiqiong came forward with the shackles and was about to tie up Liu Xuxing when the smell of blood suddenly hit his nostrils.
"No!" Xu Zhiqiong shouted, "Back off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the red powder sprinkled in the yard suddenly turned black. Liu Xuxing stood up slowly, with a dozen arms emerging from his ribs on both sides.
Qiao Shungang shouted at Qu Jinshan: "Old man, you can even make mistakes in this!"
Qu Jinshan looked confused and said: "Could it be a blood-jawed centipede? Why is this poison hidden so deep?"
Chen Yuanzhong ordered: "The man holding the lantern, hold the lantern!"
Since the last time he fought against the fourth-grade Golden Silkworm, Chen Yuanzhong knew the power of Gu, and his first reaction was to trap the opponent with an iron wall.
The green light man Gong Taijin took out a three-foot iron box and pulled the switch. Before the forty-eight red lights were released, the servant who fell to the ground suddenly appeared behind Gong Taijin, and inserted four arms into Gong Taijin's legs.
rib.
Chen Yuanzhong was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the servant who opened the door turned out to be a Gu Master (the host of heretic Gu insects).
Gong Taijin, a seventh-grade Mohist, wore three layers of armor. Ordinary weapons could never hurt him. Unexpectedly, the three layers of armor were penetrated by the opponent's blow. Gong Taijin vomited blood and died on the spot.
Qu Jinshan exclaimed: "This is also a blood-jawed centipede. It has six grades. Quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xuxing rushed in front of Qu Jinshan, his six arms turning into blades, two slashing and stabbing, coming at the same time.
Liu Xuxing also carries sixth-grade Gu insects.
With the skills of the Yin and Yang family, they were naturally unable to withstand the blood-jawed centipede. Qu Jinshan parried the attack with a flesh and blood puppet. The flesh and blood puppet was torn to pieces by Liu Xuxing in a blink of an eye. Qu Jinshan saw that he was dead. Xu Zhiqiong rushed forward, gathering two points of yang energy on the tip of the knife.
, and clicked on Liu Xuxing’s left temple.
This is the vital point of the blood-jawed centipede. Liu Xuxing shivered, took a few steps back, grabbed the white lantern man Wang Zhiyi, and tore it into pieces twice. He turned around and grabbed another lantern man and poked a bloody hole all over his body.
The servant jumped behind Ma Guangli and used two insect legs to dig into Ma Guangli's head. Wang Zhennan saw this and knocked Ma Guangli away, and his left shoulder was immediately penetrated by the insect legs.
Chen Yuanzhong rushed up and led two green lanterns to fight with Liu Xuxing. Qiao Shungang led Meng Shizhen and others to fight bloody battles with their servants. The killer was able to fight and resisted. With the number of people, fighting with two sixth-grade bloodjaws was not a big deal.
Falling into the wind.
But things are not that simple.
The more than seventy people behind Liu Xuxing stood up. Some shook their heads and tails, some had fangs on their mouths, some had membrane wings on their backs, and some had feet on their ribs.
More than seventy Gu warriors pounced on the lantern holder, and the two sides fell into a melee. It was too late to hold the lantern. In the narrow yard, the lantern holder could only fight with flesh and blood.
These are all the Gu masters that Liang Yuming has cultivated over the years, and now they are all used. He spent a lot of money with only one purpose - to hold Wu Xu back.
In Liang Yuming's mansion, Zui Chi looked at Liang Yuming and said with a smile, "Your plan is really vicious!"
Liang Yuming said: "The Hunjun knew clearly that there were Gu insects in Liu Xuxing's house, so he sent the Deng Yamen to capture Liu Xuxing just to force Wu Xu to take action. He knew that Wu Xu was reluctant to take charge of the Deng Yamen, and he wanted Wu Xu to protect him. I'll just follow the plan and wait.
Wu Xu came forward and trapped him in Liu Xuxing's outer house!"
Zui Chidao: "Can you trap him? If you don't talk about the third level of killing, are you invincible in the world?"
Liang Yuming said: "Your Majesty lent me six fourth-grade heretics. I placed them in the cellar. It will be good if they can be trapped for a while. The war in Canglong Palace has already begun!"
Eunuch Yin Haicheng brought a twin candle, which had already been lit. Three blood-jawed centipedes and a hundred Gu warriors had already entered the Canglong Palace.
Two Canglong elders, with more than a hundred disciples, fought fiercely with three blood-jawed centipedes. Another Canglong elder, Liang Jixiong, and the Minister of War, Sui Zhi, came to Emperor Zhaoxing and persuaded Emperor Zhaoxing to leave Canglong Hall immediately.
"Your Majesty," Sui Zhi said, "Canglong Palace is dangerous. Please follow your subordinates and return to the palace immediately!"
Liang Jixiong said: "What the Vice Minister of the Sui Dynasty said is absolutely true. Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible!"
Emperor Zhaoxing shook his head and said, "Isn't it dangerous in the palace?"
Sui Zhidao: "There are still forbidden troops in the palace, and the troops from the Ministry of War have also arrived outside the palace!"
Emperor Zhaoxing looked sad: "They are third-grade poisons. The three elders can't do anything to them. Ordinary soldiers fight with them, but they don't die in vain. They are all good sons of Daxuan. They died for me alone."
I can’t bear to take so many lives!”
While talking, Emperor Zhaoxing shed tears.
Liang Jixiong's face was covered with sweat and he said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day! Listen to the old minister, go back to the palace quickly. Chen Shuncai is still in the palace. He can resist for a while, and we will kill these evil thieves.
, then go to the palace to escort you!"
Emperor Zhaoxing cried: "Yu Ming is my nephew. He makes mistakes again and again. I am so merciful to him. I never imagined that he would do this to me!"
Liang Jixiong took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, if this matter is really related to Liang Yuming, King Huai's family will be at your Majesty's disposal, and I will never interfere."
"I won't leave. I will defend the Canglong Palace. I am willing to die fighting here and give this country to Xiankang (King Huai)!"
In the hall, the drums were beating loudly, and the battle situation became more and more urgent.
Liang Jixiong was eager to join the war and did not want to waste any more words with Emperor Zhaoxing: "Your Majesty, in Canglong Palace, only clan, superiority and seniority are discussed. I am your great-grandfather. I will ask you again today, whether you want to leave or not."
?”
Emperor Zhaoxing insisted not to leave: "I am willing to fight bloody battles with all the elders, and I will have no regrets even if I die!"
Liang Jixiong turned to Sui Zhi and said, "Sui Lang, please help me carry His Majesty away!"
Sui Zhi stepped back a few steps: "I dare not offend Your Majesty!"
"Sui Zhi!" Liang Jixiong shouted, "Your Majesty has made a mistake, and you are the one who declares the crime!"
Sui Zhi heard this and saluted Emperor Zhaoxing again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for offending!"
Sui Zhi carried Emperor Zhaoxing on his back and left through the back door. Emperor Zhaoxing cried all the way and walked very tragically.
After leaving Canglong Palace, Emperor Zhaoxing stopped crying.
"Are you all ready?"
Sui Zhi nodded.
Emperor Zhaoxing said nothing, got into the carriage, and left with Sui Zhi.
The two of them did not return to the palace, they went to Anshuyuan.
There were no imperial troops along the way, and they all went back to the palace to prepare for the war. The two of them entered the outer courtyard of Anshu Yuan, where Queen Chai Qiuci had been waiting for a long time.
Emperor Zhaoxing sat in the courtyard, closing his eyes and concentrating. Chai Qiuci placed a candle beside him.
…
The floor of Mr. Liu's foreign residence was covered with blood and flesh. The melee lasted for a meal, and nearly half of Mr. Liu's lantern holder was killed or injured.
After the melee, the Gu Masters suddenly gathered together. The rough-skinned and thick-skinned Scorpions, Longhorns, Scarabs, and Weevils stood in the front, the relatively weak Worms stood in the back, and the flying Gu Masters stood on the wings.
They formed their formation and were about to launch a general attack.
Chen Yuanzhong was furious and thought about forming a battle array with the Gu soldiers.
It's impossible to hold a lamp during a melee. Now that the two armies are clearly visible, it's a good time to hold a lamp!
Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "Hurry up and light the lamp!"
Niu Yuxian was the first to react and took out the lamp box in his pocket. He had just been promoted to the eighth level last month and was now a Green Lantern Man. Twenty-four green lanterns were arranged into an iron wall. Niu Yuxian waved his hand, and mountains of swords and seas of fire poured out.
The Gu soldiers suffered many casualties, but the iron wall was cracked by two blood-jawed centipedes.
The eighth-grade green lantern cannot stop the Gu Master.
Seeing the green lanterns falling from the sky one after another, Niu Yuxian saw Gong Taijin's lamp box. He picked up the iron lamp box, knocked on the mechanism, and released forty-eight red lanterns.
Before the red light flew into the air, the iron light box was jumping up and down, and Niu Yuxian collapsed and his mouth cracked.
His cultivation level is not enough. He was only at the eighth level just now. This iron lantern box can only be controlled by a seventh-level green lantern man.
The white lantern man Lu Yinpeng rushed up, and the green lantern man Luo Jian also rushed up. All the Mohist lantern men pressed the lamp box tightly, and the forty-eight red lanterns finally flew into the air, forming an iron wall.
The instruments of torture in the lamp fell one after another, and the flesh and blood of the Gu warriors behind the wall flew everywhere.
Qiao Shungang's face was covered with blood, he gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Kill, kill all these beasts!"
Before the laughter could stop, the two Gu warriors hit the iron wall together, causing a crack.
This momentum made Chen Yuanzhong shudder.
This is the power of the fourth grade.
Qu Jinshan also trembled. He couldn't tell the difference between inner cultivators and outer cultists, but he knew how terrifying the fourth level was.
The cracks in the iron wall were getting bigger and bigger, and a Gu man came out of the cracks and fought with the lantern man. Liu Dashun, the green lantern man, shouted: "Chen Qianhu, withdraw, we can't hold it anymore!"
Chen Yuanzhong covered the wound on his chest and shouted in a hissing voice: "We can't evacuate. If we let these Gu people out, the capital will be finished! Find someone to go out and ask for help!"
Qiao Shungang shouted: "Zhiqiong, run fast. Go ask for help and call the Wuwei camp!"
Xu Zhiqiong chopped down a Thousand-legged Gu (Malu), turned around and shouted: "I can't walk, I know how to deal with the Gu, and I can resist it for a while, let Qu Deng guard it, use the magic circle to go faster!"
Chen Yuanzhong shouted: "Qu Jinshan, you go! You use the magic circle to walk!"
Qu Jinshan said: "I left a magic circle at the door. You can go to someone else. I also know some ways to break the poison!"
Qiao Shungang shouted: "Zhennan, go!"
Wang Zhennan wiped the blood on his face, shook his head and said: "If I don't leave, our brothers will live and die together!"
Meng Shizhen slashed a path with a knife and pushed Wang Zhennan out of the door: "Go quickly! Go quickly! Do you want all eight of your wives to be widowed? Leave now!"
Qu Jinshan activated the magic circle and sent Wang Zhennan directly back to Zhangdeng Yamen. Wang Zhennan ran all the way to the main hall of the imperial city. The main hall was empty except for a few gatekeepers.
Wang Zhennan grabbed a police officer and asked: "Where is the commander?"
"The commander took the Wuwei Battalion to the top of the city. There is a group of rebels attacking the city gate!"
"Has everyone gone to Wuwei Camp?"
"They're all gone!"
Wang Zhennan's eyes darkened, what should he do?
There was no one in the Imperial City Division and no one in Wuwei Camp. Wang Zhennan ran to Qingyi Pavilion and there was no one in Qingyi Pavilion either.
A man in Qingyi who stayed behind said: "Jiang Shaoshi took people to the palace. There are poison people attacking the palace. Your Majesty ordered Qingyi Pavilion to defend it!"
"Where is the Ministry of War? Is there anyone in the Ministry of War?"
"Everyone from the Ministry of War has gone to the top of the city, and they went with the cavalry general."
"Where's the Penance Workshop? Where's the Onmyoji Division?"
"They're all gone, fighting at the top of the city!"
Wang Zhennan lost all hope, dragged one arm and ran towards Beiyuan.
"Brothers, wait for me. No matter whether we are dead or alive, we are brothers together!"
…
The two fourth-level Gu Masters knocked away the Biao Chi Blade and rushed into the midst of the Lantern Man.
Chen Yuanzhong rushed forward and fought with each other, but was pierced through the stomach by a fourth-grade Gu Master's hand.
Xu Zhiqiong raised his long sword and slashed at the Gu Shi's head with Tiger Slash. The blade broke, but the Gu Shi was unhurt.
Hateful! I don’t have enough energy, so I have to find a way to take a breath.
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to breathe some air, but the fourth-grade Gu Master turned around and kicked Xu Zhiqiong over. He lifted Chen Yuanzhong up by wearing Chen Yuanzhong's belly, and laughed sternly: "Kill, kill all these Xuan dogs! Kill them all!"
Yeah, haha..."
After laughing twice, the Gu Master broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
A tall figure appeared in the night, with murderous aura roiling in the light of the fire.
Xu Zhiqiong struggled to his feet and shouted loudly: "Brothers, stand up straight, Qianhu is coming!"
