Listening to the words of the people behind him, Chen Xinzhu glanced at the many men in black on the roof.
The number of people is indeed a bit large, but no problem.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu stopped waiting, looked at a house directly in front, and said softly.
"If you don't come out now, are you planning something?"
With the blessing of Zixia Sword Qi in his body, his gentle words turned into rolling thunder, which struck the house directly in front of him.
Boom!
The house collapsed instantly under the huge sound, sending smoke and dust into the sky.
Seeing this scene, both Xue Jiang and his party, as well as the many men in black on the surrounding rooftops, were all frightened.
What a powerful skill this is!!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crisp applause came from the smoke, and three men in black robes walked out of the smoke unhurriedly.
Seeing these three men in black robes, Xue Jiang's eyes shrank.
There are three second-rate masters again, and they are also the top masters among the second-rate masters!
The leader of the man in black robe clapped his hands as he walked, slowly came to a distance of twenty meters in front of Chen Xinzhu, stopped, and the man in black robe said in an incomprehensible tone.
"As expected of you, you have gained such strength in just two years."
Hearing this, Xue Jiang and others were startled.
Could this man in black robe be an acquaintance of Senior Brother Chen?
Hearing this voice, Chen Xinzhu was also a little surprised, he heard it.
This is... Xiao Tan!
Looking at the black-robed man in front of him, Chen Xinzhu said with a somewhat surprised tone: "I didn't expect to meet you on such an occasion."
snort!
The leading man in black robe snorted coldly and took off the black hood on his head.
Soon, Xue Jiang and others saw a face that was as young as Chen Xinzhu.
Seeing this face, a third-rate master behind Chen Xinzhu shrank his eyes.
He recognized that the leader of the black-robed man was a disciple of the Luoshan Sword Academy who was in the same class as Chen Xinzhu two years ago.
He was lucky enough to watch the competition between the two at the Luoshan Sword Academy.
Very impressed…
Xiao Tan glanced at Xue Jiang and others, looked at Chen Xinzhu, and sneered.
"I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Hearing the killing intent in his words, Chen Xinzhu nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect that you actually entered the devil's path. Do you want to use the power of the devil's path to avenge your father?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tan's eyes became extremely cold and his tone was extremely serious.
"Although this is not the only reason, if I kill you, my father's spirit in heaven will surely be able to rest in peace."
Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu lowered his head and glanced at the trembling little Wan'er who was leaning against him.
He stretched out his right hand and patted her back gently. Chen Xinzhu's tone was a bit incomprehensible.
"Revenge? I can understand, but..."
Having said this, Chen Xinzhu looked at Xiao Tan and his tone became colder.
"However, you went too far this time."
Hearing this, a chill flashed through Xiao Tuan's heart, and his heart was awe-inspiring. Xiao Tuan did not dare to be careless, and looked at Chen Xinzhu with even more vigilance.
Xiao Tan didn't speak any more, and stretched out his hand and waved lightly with his right hand.
Soon, several houses a few hundred meters away were opened, and a group of men in black armed with various weapons drove more than a hundred villagers out.
Without exception, these villagers all had their hands tied.
Chen Xinzhu glanced around and could clearly see the panic and uneasiness on the faces of these villagers.
Seeing this scene, Xue Jiang and others looked a little ugly.
Chen Xinzhu withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiao Huan opposite him, and sighed softly.
"You are really despicable."
Hearing this, Xiao Tan sneered.
"Listen, I know these villagers are not enough to keep you captive, but..."
Having said this, Xiao Tan looked at Chen Xinzhu with an extremely cold tone.
"However, the lives of these villagers must still be enough for you to make some compromises, right?"
Chen Xinzhu's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Just tell me, what is your purpose?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tan said viciously: "My purpose is very simple, that is, before we start a war, you and I will compete first."
Hearing this answer, Chen Xinzhu and his party were a little surprised.
That's it?
Xue Jiang took a step forward, looked at Xiao Huan and said loudly: "It shouldn't be that simple for you to create such a big battle, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tan nodded naturally.
"Of course it's not that simple. This competition has some restrictions."
Having said this, Xiao Tan looked at Chen Xinzhu and said in a cold tone.
"Chen Xinzhu, although I lost to you in the beginning, I don't think my talent is worse than yours. I did this specially today just to compete with you again.
As long as you accept this challenge, I will not kill those villagers.
How about it? Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
Hearing this, Xue Jiang sneered and said mockingly: "Will a person like you abide by the agreement?"
"You have no choice." Xiao Tan replied with a calm face.
Xue Jiang's face was ugly, he clenched the sword in his hand and stared at Xiao Huan opposite him.
Chen Xinzhu didn't think much about it, looked at Xiao Tan opposite, and said calmly.
"Tell me, how do you compare?"
Seeing that Chen Xinzhu agreed to the competition, a sneer appeared on Xiao Huan's face.
"Your Huashan sect's swordsmanship is exquisite. For the sake of fairness, let's test the basic swordsmanship."
Upon hearing this, Xue Jiang and others' expressions changed slightly.
If it is compared to the overall strength, they are still very confident in Chen Xinzhu, but if it is only compared to the basic swordsmanship, there will be many more variables, and the outcome will be somewhat unpredictable.
"It seems that he is very confident in his basic swordsmanship." Yang Jianzhang said with a solemn expression.
Zheng Ning beside him nodded, his face equally solemn.
Compared with basic swordsmanship, this is indeed the fairest competition for swordsmen.
However, this is also one of the most dangerous competitions!
Even Senior Brother Chen may be at considerable risk.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ning also looked a little unhappy.
…
After hearing Xiao Tan's words, Chen Xinzhu's face remained calm and he nodded slightly.
"Can."
After saying that, Chen Xinzhu turned to look at Xue Jiang and said, "Junior brother Xue, please take care of little Wan'er."
Xue Jiang nodded, walked to Chen Xinzhu, and took Xiao Wan'er.
After doing all this, Chen Xinzhu took a step forward, and his figure instantly came to an open space on the side.
Looking at Xiao Tan, Chen Xinzhu's tone was extremely calm.
"bring it on."
Seeing this, Xiao Tan sneered, and his figure also appeared in the open space.
The two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
A chilling atmosphere spread, and the hearts of everyone around him rose.
The breeze blew by, and a yellow leaf slowly fell to the ground.
In an instant, the two of them moved at the same time.
The sword light flashed and the sword shadow was heavy.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The clashing sound of long swords kept ringing out, and in the blink of an eye the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves.
Chen Xinzhu's face was calm and his mind was concentrated. The Zixu Sword in his hand was stabbing, flicking, tapping or collapsing, and he could do whatever he wanted with each move.
Xiao Tan's expression was cold, and the black sword in his hand was swung with murderous intent. Every move he made opened and closed had a completely natural artistic conception.
At the edge of the open space, Xue Jiang and others stared closely at the two people in the field, their faces extremely solemn.
After watching for a while, Zheng Ning sighed and said softly: "The two of them have already developed their own styles in basic swordsmanship. They are really terrible attainments."
Yang Jianzhang nodded and said in a complicated tone.
