Chen Xiao rode on the horse gifted by Yan Dan and set off from Jicheng to Handan. The horse was white with golden harness, and the clothes were elegant.
"He is approachable and has no arrogance at all. Yan Wangdan was once a disciple of the Mohist family. He has profound internal skills. It is said that he is very close to the highest state of universal love in the Mohist mentality. It seems that the rumors have some credibility."
After briefly coming into contact with Yan Dan, Chen Xiao felt that this King Yan was quite good, at least he was no longer a tyrant. As for whether he could be called a benevolent king or a wise king, he couldn't tell for the time being.
"As for Lu Yan..."
Sitting down and kicking his horse's hooves, heading westward in the autumn wind, Chen Xiao looked towards the direction of Handan City with a complicated expression.
In today's world, as a Confucian disciple, it is inevitable to be compared with Lu Yan. This is a very annoying thing, especially since Lu Yan himself is not a human being.
When he first joined the Little Sage Village, Lu Yan was apparently around thirteen years old. I don't know what madness this guy had, but at the age of thirteen he wrote a bunch of famous quotes to encourage students to study hard, which made everyone laugh.
Confucian disciples went crazy and involuted.
"A rare Confucian genius in a hundred years" and "a master of hundreds of schools of thought", these are the two titles that Confucian disciples of the same generation and even the next generation are most afraid of hearing.
Then came the debate on swordsmanship at Miaotai Mountain in Taiyi Mountain. Lu Yan became famous by debating alone, and achieved great success at the age of seventeen. In an article, he helped Zong Qiongzi break through the unity of nature and man, and praised "Lu Zi". What the hell is this?
How can people of the same generation as Confucianists play with each other!
Chen Xiao was also one of the many Confucian disciples chasing Lu Yan's back. Of course, he was also a very good one, but compared to Lu Yan, who was famous all over the world, he was really like a firefly competing for the brightness of the bright moon.
"Master observed the secrets of heaven and anticipated Zhan Lu's birth, but he didn't explicitly ask me to retrieve Zhan Lu. Could it be that he wanted me to give it to Lu Yan?"
There is one thing that Chen Xiao tacitly agrees in his heart. Zhan Lu was born because of what Lu Yan did in Handan City. Whether he asked himself or looked through the history books, he had to admit that the implementation of Confucian ideals was
Okay, Lu Yan has almost reached the edge of transcending "humanity".
If Zhan Lu wasn't born because of Lu Yan, how could it be because of himself? Zhan Lu Jian was born because of himself, haha, he, Chen Xiao, doesn't daydream like this.
It doesn't matter if Zhan Lujian is given to Lu Yan, just give it to Lu Yan. Anyway, it doesn't belong to him originally. However, does this mean that in the eyes of the master, he is still inferior to Lu Yan?
Even I think it is reasonable to be inferior to Lu Yan.
"Lu Yan and Lu Zi both said that among all the schools of thought, you are unparalleled. So I want to try it myself to see what kind of person you are."
"咻咻咻～"
"Um?"
The sound of breaking through the air came, and Chen Xiao let out a startled sound. He slapped the long sword at his waist with one palm, and the scabbard danced in the wind, and several darts flew away with a "dinging, clanging" sound.
"Who is it?" He looked in all directions and listened in all directions, wary of every plant and tree around him.
"Hoo~"
For Chen Xiao, the wind in the wilderness is a bit annoying at this time. A gust of wind blows and the grass and trees shake. Some assassination masters will hide their steps in the rustling of the grass and trees. If he is not careful, he will die unexpectedly.
"Hoo~"
Confucian internal energy was operating, and a faint halo clung to Chen Xiao's body. He used his enhanced perception methods, but still could not find the lurking killer.
Huh? Such quality is much higher than what we encountered in the past half month. Could it be that a new force has arrived?
A moment of suspicion led to a moment of flaw. A black shadow fell from the sky, and a snow-edged frost knife went straight into his throat.
At the same time, several more darts came at him, blocking Chen Xiao's ability to avoid the knife in his throat.
Such a wave of attacks and killings made Chen Xiao feel that his death was approaching. He was not stupid enough to hold back, so, "The sky is filled with frost and dew, and the righteousness is chilling."
Chen Xiao held the sword in one hand and the scabbard in the other. He slashed out the sword energy with one hand and intercepted the hidden weapon. With the other hand, he turned the scabbard backwards and with a "click", the killer's short knife was inserted into the scabbard.
At this point, the killer's first wave of killing array has been broken.
"Pa~" The scabbard swallowed the dagger. Chen Xiao twisted the scabbard and slapped the killer's face firmly. At the same time, this twist also made the opponent let go of the dagger.
"Bah~" The short sword flew out of the scabbard and inserted into its owner's throat;
"Pfft~" Chen Xiao kicked the opponent away, and the killer's body flew into the air. At this time, the raging blood in the throat spurted out the short knife inserted in the throat, making a "puff" sound.
Finally, there was a sound of the body falling to the ground, suppressing a patch of weeds.
This scene happened too fast. With just one sheath and one kick, after the killer attacked for one round, the person turned into a corpse and fell to the ground.
Chen Xiao stared at the direction where the hidden weapon flew from just now, and shouted: "Your strength is not bad, I have to take the initiative."
When Can Meng, a master of hidden weapons, heard his words, even the cold-blooded killer's state of mind almost broke his guard.
The one who died just now was called Jueying. He could not defend himself with a short sword. In terms of his strength in close combat, there was no doubt that he was no match.
As a result, when Jueying took the initiative to sneak attack, she was killed by you with a close-up move, and you still spoke like this.
"He Yue, Sun Star."
"This man is a gentleman, and you have a high chance of survival."
Yan Dan's words were still in his ears, and Can Meng had to admit that this target was indeed a gentleman. Before making a move, he would recite the moves openly and then take action.
"But you didn't say that he is so strong..."
The sword energy revealed countless swaying weeds. The next gust of wind blew through, and the grass cut off a standard straight line. Can Meng's body was exposed in the grass, and he fell to the ground, bleeding from all his orifices, and he could not survive.
Chen Xiao killed the two killers, but his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he knelt down on one knee with his sword in hand.
"Poison? When..."
He remembered that the first wave of darts came and he used his scabbard to knock them all away. It seemed to be a bit strange at that time.
The killer's eyes exposed by the purple smoke mask were still full of fear. He didn't get close, he just took out his crossbow and aimed the arrow.
Chen Xiao's heart tightened. When he was poisoned, he had no confidence in avoiding the arrows and also dealing with his opponent.
"Despicable." He cursed.
Zi Yan's eyes did not waver, and she directly pulled the trigger and fired several arrows in succession.
"Swish swish~"
Arrows flew towards him, and Chen Xiao tried his best to use his sword skills to resist. Due to the poisoning, he gradually felt that he could not control his body, and was immediately in danger.
"The vastness is overwhelming."
He recited one sentence, his eyes were golden, and all the arrow trajectories were reflected in it. The auspicious beast's eyes on the Zhanlu sword grid lit up, and the long sword flew out from his hands, cutting off several arrows. When the last arrow was left, Zhanlu shot
Pick, flick, the arrow flies back, and one arrow pierces the throat.
"Cough puff~" When he was poisoned, he forced Zhan Lu to use his awe-inspiring righteousness to display his immature sword control skills. Chen Xiao covered his chest and coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
"These killers, unexpectedly..." He dragged his seriously injured body and approached the killer with the knife, "Ahem~ It turns out it's a snare. A snare..."
No, we have to use energy to force out the remaining poison first, and then find a place to heal. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Handan first.
