Chapter 51: Blessings and Disasters
Xue Jiuchang recovered from his momentary shock and looked at Gu West Wind strangely..
"Kid, you're right. Since you don't use weapons, I naturally won't bully you..
Then he gestured to his companion to come over and take his nine-ringed broadsword to the side..
" Come on, let's have a fair fight!" Xue Jiuchang grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. He looked a little scary..
His hands were surrounded by wisps of red internal energy, which seemed to be burning flames. He clenched his fists and threw a straight punch at Gu Xifeng. His entire person carried a shocking fighting spirit and his aura was fierce..
Gu West Wind did not touch him head-on, but dodged sideways. He felt a wave of heat surge past his face..
Xue Jiuchang saw that he missed the target, so he turned around and punched another fist with internal energy. He threw an uppercut directly at Gu Xifeng's chin. Gu Xifeng leaned back and did a backward somersault to dodge the attack nimbly..
Xue Jiuchang was not discouraged. His aura suddenly increased again. A surge of Vitality power burst out from his strong body. He was actually an expert who cultivated both internal and external cultivation..
Not only did he cultivate both internally and externally, but both his internal cultivation and external cultivation had reached the advanced realm. Although it was only the initial stage, it was much stronger than Xu Daye, who had just lost to the late stage of the introductory realm..
Xue Jiuchang's attacks were even fiercer, but Gu Xifeng did not fight him head-on. He used his nimble movements to dodge. Xue Jiuchang's attacks were fierce but missed. He did not really hit Gu Xifeng once. The feeling of powerlessness that hit cotton gradually made him lose his calm..
As time passed, his killer moves failed again and again. Xue Jiuchang lost his mind. His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Gu Xifeng's attacks without even realizing that his internal energy was about to be exhausted. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Two strips of internal energy that looked like dragons tightly wrapped around him, making him unable to move. Having lost his mind, he did not care if his internal energy was really exhausted, but he continued to urge it to struggle desperately..
" Stop it!" Wu Beiwang's angry and dignified voice exploded in Xue Jiuchang's ears. Xue Jiuchang shivered, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded..
"Why don't you fight? Keep fighting!.
"Commander, calm down. I've just lost my mind, and I've lost my mind before I know it.".
At this time, Xue Jiuchang did not have the irritable appearance just now. He smiled awkwardly, like a mouse that had seen a cat. Some flattering expressions appeared on his burly face. There was an indescribable sense of disobedience..
"If I hadn't acted in time, you might have broken all your meridians and become a cripple if you had forcefully activated your internal energy just now!" You lose your mind and go crazy just because you meet an opponent who can restrain yourself. You will lose control even more when you face all kinds of situations on the battlefield. What will you do if your comrades sacrifice themselves in front of you? What will you do if your comrades betray you? If you can't keep a calm mind at all times, leave immediately and go home to farm. I don't need such people in my camp!" Wu Beiwang glared at Xue Jiuchang fiercely and looked around at the others in the hall..
" You can be angry on the battlefield, you can take revenge, but as long as you are alive, you must always keep your head clear!"" Follow the commander-in-chief's instructions!" Everyone in the hall except Gu Xifeng and Xue Jiuchang saluted Wu Beiwang respectfully with their left hand on the chest. Xue Jiuchang wanted to bow too, but he was restrained and unable to move..
Seeing this, Wu Beiwang withdrew the internal energy that bound him. He hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy..
" I'll punish you by soaking you in cold water for two hours a day for a month. Calm down. If this happens again, get lost!" Xue Jiuchang was overjoyed. He quickly thanked the commander and left the hall as if he was fleeing..
Wu Beiwang took a few steps back to his seat and looked at Gu Xifeng with even more interest..
"Come and find Lu Yuanzhi..
"Yes!" a young man in the shape of a guard at the door of the hall was ordered to leave.
Not long after, another young man walked into the hall and saluted Wu Beiwang..
The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dark in appearance, short and thin, like a child from a poor family.
"Yuanzhi, this little brother is an expert. Xu Daye and Xue Jiuchang were defeated by him. You can spar with him later. Don't underestimate the enemy..
"Yes, my lord commander..
"Lyu Yuanzhi nodded gently..
"Sir, this humble servant is not good at martial arts. Can you allow us to fight with weapons?.
"Little brother, what do you think, what do you need, just mention it.
"Look at the west wind.".
"Yes, I want two daggers..
Gu Xifeng didn't pretend and made a request. Under Wu Beiwang's signal, two short blades were quickly taken over. They looked like the kind of personal daggers that bandits hid in their arms..
Gu West Wind held the two daggers in his hands, his eyes shining brightly. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a slightly eager gaze..
Lu Yuanzhi also pulled out his weapon. This weapon was not common. It was two short forks, three parts of the fork body, the middle one was long and the two sides were short. It was rod-shaped. The long shaft was about one foot long, and the whole body had no sharp edge or blade. In Jianghu, this kind of short fork was also called Iron Ruler..
Both of them were holding pairs of short weapons, so they confronted each other. Neither of them attacked rashly..
Gu Xifeng was the first to attack this time. Since it was the last match, there was no need to hide it. The power of Qi and blood was constantly surging in his body, completely activating his external cultivation strength at the middle stage of the Advanced Realm..
Lu Yuanzhi did not hide his weakness. He emitted an aura that was even stronger than Gu Xifeng's. He was also a physical expert, and it seemed that he was at the late stage of advancement..
Gu Xifeng's speed was extremely fast, and Lu Yuanzhi's speed was also not slow. The two figures continued to intersect and collide, and it was difficult to tell who was evenly matched..
If one's eyes weren't enough, one couldn't even see their attacks clearly. One could only see countless afterimages moving around..
Gu West Wind was faster, while Lu Yuanzhi was stronger. Neither of them could do anything to the other, and the battle gradually heated up..
Following a violent collision, both of them retreated and stopped attacking. Both of them watched each other warily..
"Little brother, you have such strength at such a young age. It's admirable. If you were the same age, I would definitely not be your opponent..
"Let's make it quick, let's all do what we can..
Lu Yuanzhi's expression became solemn after he finished speaking, and his aura increased by another level. The two iron rulers went up and down one by one, and he assumed a strange posture..
"Just what I want.
"The West Wind also puts on a hundred flowers to kill.".
" Little brother, this move is my strongest move at the moment. It's called Dragon Spinning Stab. Watch this move!" Lu Yuanzhi pointed his two iron rulers forward together and his body started spinning at a high speed. Like a wind dragon, he charged at Gu Xifeng..
:.
[Gu Xifeng Hundred Flowers Kill activated. Countless Gu Xifeng afterimages intertwined with Wind Dragon once.].
A moment later, the two of them stood still and stopped attacking. Gu Xifeng's dagger was placed at Lu Yuanzhi's throat. A slight force would kill him..
"Okay, you win. Put the dagger away..
"Lyu has a calm face..
" I have a question. Don't you feel dizzy when you use this skill?" Gu West Wind's expression was a little strange. He put away his dagger and asked curiously..
"It's definitely dizzy, but I'm used to it..
The reason for the answer should be.
"Alright, little brother, you won three matches. I'll keep my word and spare your life..
"When can I leave?".
"Stay here, we'll let you go when it's over.".
"Men, take this little brother and lock him up..
"Don't think of escaping, I'm here, you can't escape..
Two guards walked into the hall, tied Gu West Wind up with chains, and poured some powder into Gu West Wind's mouth..
Gu Xifeng recognized this item. It was called Mortal Powder. After taking this medicine, one would not be able to activate one's power. It was no different from ordinary people. However, it carried a special smell and could not poison people secretly. Otherwise, this medicine would definitely be a great killing weapon in Jianghu. However, Mortal Powder had a wide range of uses..
Gu Xifeng did not resist them. There was no point in resisting with a grandmaster here..
Soon Gu Xifeng was taken down..
Wu Beiwang looked at Lu Yuanzhi, who was a little depressed, and smiled bitterly..
" Yuanzhi, there's something wrong with this Dragon Spinning Stinger of yours. Don't practice it again in the future. Stinging can increase the power of rotation, but if your whole body rotates, it will be full of flaws. You lost here today. Go back and think about it. Your idea is feasible, but you need to adapt it..
"Yes, sir, I am a servant of the Lord, and I beg your pardon.".
Wu Beiwang waved his hand, and Lu Yuanzhi immediately left the hall and went to study martial arts urgently..
There was a tent on the empty ground of the stronghold that was much larger than the other tents. It was surrounded by other tents in the middle position and was heavily guarded. It was even more heavily guarded than the main hall..
This tent was not the residence of any important person. The interior was surrounded by iron fences, just like a prison. It was unknown where these people had found the materials..
Gu Xifeng was already locked up here, but he was in a good mood. Not only were there 17 of the Seven Kills Battalion's comrades locked up here, but there were also boxes of various sizes placed in one direction..
According to the intelligence, the number of prisoners matched the missing and captured Seven Kills Battalion comrades. Those boxes were also the stolen goods of the North Chu caravan..
Well, that makes it a lot easier..
These Seven Kills Camp members were all dying and lying in prison weakly. However, they were not in danger of dying. It seemed that Wu Beiwang and the others did not intend to kill them..
When these people saw Gu Xifeng, the eyes of some who knew him suddenly lit up, but they quickly dimmed. They did not speak to him. Gu Xifeng was also calculating in his heart and did not recognize these people..
Although there were many people in the prison, it was terrifyingly quiet. Only the footsteps of the guards and the gasps of the prisoners were heard from time to time..
Night fell. In a hidden cave at the foot of the mountain, figures flashed by from time to time. This was the temporary foothold for the remaining Seven Kills Camp..
At this moment, the eight Constellation Guards were anxious and wished they could go up the mountain immediately..
"The day has passed, and there is no news of the two children. Could they have been caught by those people?.
"Worried, constantly fiddling with his fingers.".
"It's very possible. It's been so long. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, these two kids should at least send us some news..
"The horn is better than the heart, but it is also frowned.".
"If there is no news tonight, we'll go up the mountain tomorrow morning and attack..
The other seven stars agreed..
At this moment, a figure rushed into the cave. It was actually Monkey..
"My senior brothers and sisters, you didn't even tell me in advance when you changed places. I had to search in the dark for a long time to find this place..
The monkey panted heavily, and there was some complaint in his tone..
"Alright, we found him. As a member of the Seven Kills Camp, he couldn't even find his way at night. Be careful, I'll go back and complain..
"Heart to see the monkey back, a lot of peace of mind, finger gently touched the monkey forehead.
"Where's West Wind? Why hasn't he come back?.
"The horn is wrong, ask quickly.".
" In order to quickly find the bandit's nest, we thought of an idea. West Wind pretended to be captured by the enemy and escorted them back. I followed them all the way to their nest. It was really difficult to infiltrate in broad daylight. I tried my best to find a place where I could observe the interior from the outside..
"Now that West Wind has been completely captured, it's not like we've found nothing. We've found out that the other party really has a grandmaster expert, and he's very strong. The place where West Wind was locked up is also very suspicious. I'm going to wait until late at night to sneak in and save West Wind.".
"You must be careful not to throw yourself into it again..
The horn patted the monkey's shoulder hard, and the monkey turned his eyes straight..
"Don't worry, my infiltration skills are a little stronger than West Wind. I can't enter during the day, but at night it's my home ground..
The monkey was confident and gave a thumbs up, revealing a row of small white teeth..
Monkey told everyone the location of the horse thief, then left the cave alone and disappeared into the darkness..
