Hu Xiaotian stopped in time, and the hidden edge of the big sword stopped about a foot away from Qiu Mubai's head. According to the power just now, the sword energy had already split Qiu Mubai's head, but Hu Xiaotian was not able to release the sword energy freely this time.
The strong wind blowing up from his body stimulated Qiu Mubai to close his eyes. He thought he would definitely die, but there was no trace of blood on his handsome face.
When he realized that Hu Xiaotian's move did not release sword energy freely, he felt like his soul had returned to its original place. He slowly opened his eyes, only to see Hu Xiaotian holding Zangfeng in one hand, and the sword's edge was pressed against his throat.
Grand Master Xiang's old voice came from a distance: "Sword, show mercy!"
Qiu Mubai's face was ashen. This plea from Grand Master Xiang was like a slap in the face. He had always been arrogant and regarded himself as the number one master among the younger generation in the Sword Palace. He even thought that the young people in Yongdu Nei
Among the masters, no one could surpass him in swordsmanship, but he was defeated by an unknown eunuch. In front of everyone, he was defeated so completely and so embarrassingly.
Qiu Mubai closed his eyes and said sadly: "Kill me..."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head, put Zangfeng into the scabbard of his sword, and said loudly: "You are just a chess piece being used!" He turned around and walked towards the crowd, staring at the three Dong brothers coldly: "You want to bring trouble on me.
Yes, why don't you come to me openly? Do you only do such shady things?"
Dong Tiejun's eyes were about to burst out with fire. He took a step forward, but was grabbed by his third brother Dong Tianjiang. Dong Tianjiang whispered: "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Qiu Mubai's trembling hands clenched the rapier, his handsome face was twisted with pain, and he gritted his steel teeth. He heard sporadic cheers, and those cheers definitely did not belong to him. Such a shame and humiliation, I still have time to live in the world.
What's the meaning? Qiu Mubai raised his sword, and a figure rushed up from behind, but Xiang Qingyun firmly grabbed his arm and said with tears: "Mubai! Mubai!"
Qiu Mubai looked at Xiang Qingyun's pretty face full of concern, and suddenly his body shook, and poof! He spurted out a mouthful of blood. This mouthful of blood was spraying on Xiang Qingyun's chest. Xiang Qingyun was so frightened that he couldn't care about his daughter's family.
Remaining reserved, he stretched out his arms to hold Qiu Mubai in his arms: "Mubai! Mubai! Someone, come here! Someone, come and help me..."
While several families were happy and others were sad, while Qiu Mubai suffered the biggest setback in his life, Hu Xiaotian was elated. This duel made Hu Xiaotian famous in one battle, and also transformed the eunuch of the Dakang Palace in the eyes of many people into a young talent with great swordsmanship.
Master.
Hu Xiaotian discovered that once a person becomes strong in the eyes of others, people around you will no longer pay attention to your gender. No matter you are a man or a woman, or neither male nor female, as long as others recognize your strength, they will pay attention to your gender.
You feel a sense of awe.
Hu Xiaotian held a banquet at Ningxiang Building and invited Zhou Mo, Xiong Tianba, Zong Tang, and Huo Shengnan. Although Liu Yucheng was also among his invitees, he came a little later because he was helping to treat Qiu Mubai's injuries.
I will come over. As for Yan Wang Xue Shengjing, although he received Hu Xiaotian's invitation, Xue Shengjing didn't want to wade into this muddy water. He didn't want to give people the illusion that he was Hu Xiaotian's backer, so he found an excuse and politely declined Hu Xiaotian's invitation.
.
For Hu Xiaotian, it would be better if King Yan Xue Shengjing did not come. If he were present, everyone would feel uncomfortable.
Coming to Ningxiang Pavilion this time is very different from the banquet hosted by the eldest prince Xue Daohong the day before yesterday. Everyone was overjoyed because of Hu Xiaotian's victory. Not to mention Zhou Mo and Xiong Tianba, even Zong Tang and Huo Shengnan were also happy.
Seeing such a result, after all, this duel had nothing to do with the honor and disgrace of the two countries, and the duel itself was instigated by Qiu Mubai. They thought that Hu Xiaotian might escape death, but they did not expect that Hu Xiaotian's small universe exploded and unexpectedly reversed the situation of the battle.
After the cold dishes were served, Liu Yucheng arrived. As soon as he entered the door, he put down the medicine box and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Liu, come and sit down, everyone is waiting for you."
Liu Yucheng said apologetically: "Didn't I say that you should eat first? How can I have the nerve to ask everyone to wait for me?"
Zongtang asked: "How is Qiu Mubai's injury?" He asked a question that was actually of concern to everyone.
Liu Yucheng washed his hands, came to sit next to Zongtang and said, "He is wearing Jian Palace's green rhinoceros armor. Even so, the breastplate was chopped by Brother Hu, his chest was injured, and two ribs were broken.
, the heart and lungs were also shocked, and it will be difficult to recover within three to five months, but there will be no serious danger to his life."
Hearing that Qiu Mubai's life was not in danger, most people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even Hu Xiaotian himself did not want to have a grudge with Jian Gong because of this duel. Although Jian Gong's current momentum cannot be compared with when Lin Baitao was alive, Slim
The dead camel was bigger than the horse, and there were three thousand disciples in Sword Palace. If these three thousand disciples were to attack him, Hu Xiaotian would probably die from exhaustion.
Xiong Tianba yelled: "Damn, that pretty boy is very lucky. Mr. Hu shouldn't be merciful to him. Didn't he sign a life and death document? Just kill him with one sword. Let's see who dares to take advantage of you."
…”
Zhou Mo glared at him, so frightened that Xiong Tianba swallowed the second half of his words.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I also won by luck. It's not that I am strong, but that Qiu Mubai is too weak!"
Huo Shengnan smiled calmly and said: "If our young masters from Yongdu listen to what you said, they will definitely come to your door to cause trouble for you and bully us, Yongdu No One?"
Zongtang said: "Qiu Mubai is not weak. His Thirty-Six Swordsmen of Chasing the Wind are very fast. Few people can match him. The reason why Brother Hu was able to win today was not only because of your exquisite footwork, but also because of your skill with the sword."
To the point where the anger is released.”
Huo Shengnan glanced at Hu Xiaotian and said meaningfully: "Master Hu is hiding very deep. Even I was kept in the dark by you." During the competition last night, Hu Xiaotian did not show his full strength.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I don't know what releasing sword energy means. I used it out of nowhere today, but it works sometimes."
Zhou Mo laughed. He had been paying attention to the scene in the field. Hu Xiaotian was indeed not lying. The release of his sword energy was just a glimpse of the door, and there was still a long way to go before it could be retracted and released freely. Even so, it was enough for Zhou Mo to
Mo was surprised. You must know that Hu Xiaotian had never had such martial arts before. It should be after he killed the purple electric python, his martial arts changed rapidly. If it continues to develop at this speed, the achievements of this third brother are immeasurable.
.
Liu Yucheng did not understand martial arts. Of course, he could not see this duel as clearly as anyone else, but Liu Yucheng knew that being able to defeat Qiu Mubai was a great thing in itself. Hu Xiaotian was not only superb in medical skills, but also in martial arts. No wonder his father
Liu Yucheng said: "Actually, it's best if everyone is fine. I don't know martial arts, but I don't agree with using duels to solve problems. Even if there are conflicts, you can tell the truth and solve it."
The best policy is to persuade people with virtue."
No one else present agreed with Liu Yucheng's words. Zhou Mo whispered: "Most of the time in this world, you have to speak with your fists. When you reason with others, other people's swords have already cut your throat."
.”
Hu Xiaotian put it more tactfully: "When a scholar meets the soldiers, he can't explain why!"
Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves outside. Although Hu Xiaotian was indoors, his hearing was still very keen. There should be about 20 people in this group. The sound of horse hooves came from far and near, coming towards Ningxiang Tower. Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine glass.
, I secretly thought that maybe I was too sensitive, and this team of people might just be passing by and not coming towards me. However, the sound of horse hooves gradually slowed down, and the team stopped in front of the gate of Ningxiang Tower.
With the exception of Liu Yucheng, everyone else had noticed the changes outside. Zhou Mo clenched his fists, vaguely aware that something was wrong.
Huo Shengnan frowned, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said softly: "I'll go out and take a look."
Hu Xiaotian's expression remained as calm as ever. Under any circumstances, he could maintain this calm attitude and said softly: "Don't look at it, let's continue drinking."
A group of warriors with bright armor walked into the lobby of Ningxiang Tower. The leader was Shi Kuan, the commander of the Golden Scale Guards in Da Nei. He was the number one master in Da Yong Palace. Shi Kuan's face was stern, his eyebrows were as sharp and angular as a knife or an axe, and his eyes were cold.
Leng looked at the smiling shop owner: "Which room is Mr. Hu, the history of Dakang's marriage?" His voice was like a loud bell, which made everyone's eardrums buzz, and his voice echoed everywhere in the Ningxiang Building.
Sound, then the owner of the store needs to report it.
Zhou Mo had already judged from the voice that the person had strong internal strength and should not be inferior to him. He suddenly felt wary, maybe real trouble was coming.
Huo Shengnan said softly: "Shi Kuan, the commander of the Dauchi Golden Scale Guards!" She really couldn't imagine why Shi Kuan came here. In her impression, Shi Kuan and Jian Gong should have nothing to do with each other. There was no reason for him to stand up for Jian Gong.
Shi Kuan's heavy footsteps could be heard on the stairs. Not long after, he arrived outside the room where Hu Xiaotian was. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door gently: "Is Mr. Hu here? Shi Kuan, I have something important to talk to Mr. Hu.
business."
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "Shi Kuan? I don't seem to know you!" He winked and asked Xiong Tianba to go over and open the door.
But before Xiong Tianba could reach the door, the door was slowly pushed open from the outside. Two Golden Scale Guard warriors pushed the door open, and Shi Kuan, who looked like an iron tower, appeared in front of the door. He clasped his fists with his hands and shook his body slightly.
He bowed and said: "Master Hu, I'm Shi Kuan, please take a step to speak." To speak on the step of taking a step is to discuss something alone, and you don't want others to hear.
Xiong Tianba said angrily: "Who are you! Opening the door without permission, are you seeking death?" He stood up suddenly and punched Shi Kuan in the chest. Shi Kuan stood like a mountain and made no move to dodge.
, Xiong Tianba’s punch was so powerful that it hit Shi Kuan’s chest with a loud sound. With his domineering strength, Shi Kuan’s body did not move at all, and his face was still expressionless: “You are good at defeating with two hammers.
