Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities.

Chapter 254 Death

Sun Jiugong hasn't spoken yet.

His immediate superior Zhang Han turned around and shouted in a low voice.

"Sun Jiugong, what are you talking about? Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the world is at peace..."

He hasn't spoken yet.

Then he heard Sun Jiugong's voice suddenly become louder.

"Your Majesty, the treacherous minister has stepped out on his own! It is none other than the Minister of Justice, Zhang Han!"

"You! Sun Jiugong, do you know what you are saying?" Zhang Han screamed anxiously.

He had even noticed many strange expressions on the faces of his colleagues.

That's sarcasm.

As the Minister of Justice, he can't even manage his own subordinates. What future can such a person have?

Apart from anything else, even if Sun Jiugong was beaten to death today because of his flattering words, his name Zhang Han would be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"you you you!"

Sun Jiugong's performance had not yet ended. He took another step forward and then turned to look at the many court officials.

"The whole court is full of treacherous officials, including Zhang Han, Han Kun, and even the Imperial Censorate doctor Zhou Shan!"

At that time, the court was in an uproar.

Everyone's face showed shock and surprise.

However, no one who can survive in the Qiandu court is a fool.

They soon discovered.

The people Sun Jiugong was talking about seemed to be all those who claimed to be neutral during the reign of Emperor Shenzong...

Is it...

They raised their heads slightly, trying to see the expression of the new emperor on the stage.

Or maybe he wanted to see Xu Guang's expression more clearly.

Xu Guang had a strange look on his face at this moment, and looked at Sun Jiugong with great interest.

As expected, this Sun Jiugong was arranged by Cheng Lian'er.

I don't know where he found such a person.

You really dare to say that.

"What nonsense! Sun Jiugong, did you take the wrong medicine?"

Han Kun could no longer sit still. He glared at Zhang Han angrily and looked up at Li Qingyan.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that Lord Sun did not sleep well yesterday. He is mentally confused and talking nonsense. Please, Your Majesty, expel him from the Zhengqian Palace."

Li Qingyan subconsciously looked at Xu Guang.

Xu Guang had a blank expression on his face; he just looked Han Kun up and down.

In the past, killing people didn’t require a reason.

But now they are in the Zhengqian Palace, the place where the court holds court meetings. He has to consider Li Qingyan's face, so he has to have a reason to kill.

What a hassle.

Xu Guang thought in his heart, but looked at Sun Jiugong with expectant eyes.

Cheng Lian'er arranged such a person, which must have given her enough reasons to kill someone, right?

Sure enough, Sun Jiugong did not disappoint him.

He just snorted coldly.

"What do you mean, Lord Han? I, Sun, didn't sleep well yesterday. How do you know? Did you sleep with me yesterday? A traitor is a traitor. In order to survive, he actually wants to sell his ditches. It's a shame for me, Sun, to be on the same level as you guys! Shame!"

Xu Guang:......

Can such an elegant subject as Gouzi literature be discussed at a court meeting?

All of a sudden, I felt that this so-called morning meeting, to some extent, might not be as good as the class meeting.

In fact, what he thought was not wrong.

In the past, the clashes between civil and military officials at court meetings were more intense, with all kinds of insults. Sometimes, even in the emperor's study, it was common for ministers to quarrel over a single matter. In serious cases, outright violence was not uncommon.

It is the instinct in the bones of living things that when two voices appear and they cannot convince each other, the instinctive reaction is to use force.

"enough!"

Li Qingyan couldn't listen any more.

"Sun Qing, if you have evidence, then show it. If you don't have evidence, I will punish you for false accusation!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jiugong turned around quickly with a somewhat flattering look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I have evidence."

Xu Guang was a little bored.

I've watched the morning assembly twice, and it was just so-so, a bit boring, not even as exciting as what I encountered when buying vegetables at the market.

It is only because the so-called national affairs discussed there give such boring matters a sacred cloak.

He just sat there quietly, waiting for action after the meeting.

……

Outside the Qian Palace.

The carriage moved slowly.

Zhang Han, Zhou Shan and Han Kun sat opposite each other, their faces full of anger.

"You and I have to go."

"Leave? Where to? Are you and I going to leave just because of Sun Jiugong's false accusation?"

"What else can I do if I don't leave? Didn't you see that Xu Guang didn't say a word today? You don't think he was just sitting there watching the joke, do you?"

Han Kun said decisively.

Zhou Shan sat there, saying nothing, but his eyes were deep.

only……

Before they returned to the mansion, they saw teams of soldiers in black armor surrounding them.

These are... the Demon-Slaying Army!

"I am a second-rank official of the imperial court. Who are you?"

Han Kun asked coldly with a blank expression on his face as he sat in the carriage.

……

……

"Are you so bored? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble to kill these people?"

Xu Guang looked at Cheng Lian'er speechlessly and asked softly.

Cheng Lian'er took his arm.

"Why do you only know how to fight and kill? There are noble families behind these people. Killing them is certainly not a difficult task for you, but you have to consider your reputation when doing things. Killing people is sometimes good for your reputation."

Xu Guang didn't understand.

Day two.

News came from Qiandu.

Many ministers, led by Han Kun, were corrupt, murderous, and treacherous...

They have committed many serious crimes, and even the current fragmented situation of Daqian is caused by these people and the families behind them.

is the day.

Xu Guang personally led the demon-slaying army and flattened the area outside Ping'anfang where officials' residences were concentrated.

Various high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere in Qiandu City. Although they are not the kind like the ones in Xu Guang's previous life, they are built with more mysterious materials. Each high-rise building is worth a lot of money.

Murong Qiong stood in front of Xu Guang.

"You want to take action against the Qingliu?"

Xu Guang turned his head and said, "Isn't this obvious? These people are called pillars, but they are actually parasites. They are really unpleasant."

Murong Qiong heard this and shook her head slightly.

"To gain a foothold in this court, one must have both the family background and achievements in martial arts."

Xu Guang was a little surprised and asked with bright eyes.

"You mean, there are experts behind them?"

Murong Qiong stroked her long hair and spoke.

"Have you heard of the romantic swordsman Tang Zaiyin?"

"Oh? What strength?"

Murong Qiong was speechless at his reaction. Why did he look so expectant?

"I don't know. This person is of the same generation as Shi Zhongyu and Cao Weiwo. He once fought against Shi Zhongyu. He has a history with Han Kun's father. The sword fight that took the head of the grassland barbarian king was done by this person."

A light suddenly appeared in Xu Guang's eyes.

This must be a very strong opponent.

People of Shi Zhongyu's generation must at least be masters at the level of a perfect celestial being.

I just don't know if Tang Zaiyin has any way of cultivation after becoming a full-time celestial being. If not, a person like him will definitely be able to find his own way.

Just like the demon monk Liu Zong who was tricked by Ming Xiaochen to stop him. Although his path was only applicable to him, and had serious side effects, making him crazy.

But among three people, there must be my teacher.

Xu Guang felt that the subsequent path that these geniuses had spent decades or even hundreds of years to comprehend must be particularly desirable.

He was looking forward to meeting Tang Zaiyin.

With his current strength, if he wants to continue to improve, he can bury his head in practice, but martial arts practice is not something that can be done behind closed doors. Self-cultivation is important, but competing with masters of the same level is equally important.

The process of fighting is also a process of self-repair, which enables you to see your own shortcomings and understand the strengths of others.

This is also the reason why Xu Guang asked Xu Zhan to go to Yindu.

In the past, he did avoid fighting to avoid trouble, but now he...

Need to fight.

On top of the Ping'anfang Drum Tower.

A young man in white clothes spoke while holding a wine jug in one hand.

"These people are really annoying. How many things did Old Han ask me to do for him just because of a pot of wine? It's been so many years, and he asked me to come over again."

The one who spoke to him was a big green bird.

There is no hair on the head, and the whole body is covered with emerald green bird feathers.

It turned out to be... a bald duck!

"Then let Xu kill all these people, and that will be the end of it."

Tang Zaiyin shook his head slightly and took a sip of wine with drunken eyes.

"You said before that Xu Guang is very strong? Is it possible that he has already touched the realm beyond the level of a full-fledged celestial being?"

The bald duck was silent.

It had to admit that Xu Guang's cultivation speed was beyond its imagination.

It did not understand the division of martial arts talents, but it could see the acupoints on Xu Guang's body clearly.

Although there are many, they are mixed.

People like this, in the era of spiritual cultivation, are only those wandering practitioners in the mountains and wilds, who would pursue power and constantly seek breakthroughs in their acupoints without caring about the linkages between their own acupoints. Can such people be considered to have good qualifications?

It originally thought that acupoints would have a great influence on martial arts.

But I didn't expect...

However, in just over a few months, less than half a year, Xu Guang has reached this point.

Shock the duck.

Tang Zaiyin saw the silent bald duck and chuckled.

"Let me see how far this young man's martial arts has progressed."

As he walked, his originally hunched back suddenly straightened up, and at this moment, he looked like... a sword!

Even though he had seen it many times, the bald duck was still a little shocked.

Behind Tang Zaiyin's romanticism and alcoholism is a madman.

In order to prepare for Quan Tianren's subsequent training, he forged himself into a sword.

A sword that can kill people as soon as it is unsheathed!
Xu Guangruo noticed it.

Having practiced to his current level, even the slightest changes in the world can attract his attention. The moment Tang Zaiyin stood up, he felt something in his heart.

But when he really saw Tang Zaiyin, he realized that he was this romantic swordsman.

He has indeed set foot above all the gods, but the path he has taken...

It does not seem to be the orthodox art of sensing and understanding the mysteries today.

It's more like...

The people on the streets had completely disappeared due to the appearance of the Demon-Slaying Army.

Tang Zaiyin walked along the long street of Zi'a Ping'anfang with a sword in one hand, and attracted all eyes.

At this moment, no matter who it is, when they see Tang Zaiyin for the first time, they seem to be able to see the terrifying aura emanating from him all the time.

There was only one thought left in my mind.

That is…

This is a peerless master.

No matter from which perspective, no one can ignore the brilliance of Tang Zaiyin at this moment.

Arrogant and domineering, and unparalleled in his romantic style.

At first glance, Xu Guang seemed to see Tang Zaiyin's will.

The sword pierced the sky, and Xu Guang understood why Tang Zaiyin did not leave.

He wanted to prove that people in this mortal world could step onto the level of Tongxuan without using the energy of the mysterious world.

Xu Guang didn’t know what Tang Zaiyin had experienced that led him to this path, but that didn’t stop him from feeling that Tang Zaiyin’s path must be very strong.

Then he moved his body slightly, and flew into the air in an instant.

"Tang Zaiyin?"

In fact, this sentence is nonsense.

What he didn't expect was.

Tang Zaiyin raised his head and nodded at him with a smile on his face.

Xu Guang was stunned.

Didn't he come here to stop me?

"I owe you a favor. If you can take my sword, I will not be responsible for this matter anymore."

Xu Guang looked at him in surprise, "What if I can take your sword?"

Tang Zaiyin pondered for a moment.

Some hesitation.

Then, he said something that made Xu Guang silent.

"I will beg for mercy."

Xu Guang:......

The demeanor of a peerless master was shattered in an instant.

Xu Guang was speechless.

This Tang Zaiyin is really a wonderful person.

It was the first time he had seen someone who could beg for mercy after being defeated so easily.

"Your joke is not very funny."

Tang Zaiyin shook his head seriously, "I'm not kidding."

He really can only strike with one sword.

After all, he had never absorbed any profound energy, he had only relied on himself to get to this point.

In fact, many people don’t know that Tang Zaiyin was a scholar before, and his teacher was Wen Zhaori, who was recognized as the best writer in the past.

It was only later that I started practicing martial arts.

As Tang Zaiyin spoke, the gas flowed from his body, and his clothes suddenly rustled without wind.

The azure robe fluttered, as vast as the starry sky.

In an instant, a feeling as if facing the heaven and earth came over me.

With Tang Zaiyin's position as the center, the waves suddenly surged in all directions like countless tides.

But strangely, these air waves did not cause any damage to buildings or pedestrians.

Only Xu Guang could clearly feel the changes.

world…

It seems that at this moment, everything is different.

It seemed that in an instant, all the winds between heaven and earth stopped.

The strength in Xu Guang's body was also being suppressed by an invisible force.

It's like being suppressed by the earthly world.

Xu Guang stood up and jumped off the horse.

But there was a loud bang.

The strength around Xu Guang suddenly flowed back at a speed like a siphon. It was not that he started the life and death calamity, but that he was suppressed by the heaven and earth.

The sky above seemed to be undergoing layered changes at this moment.

Layer after layer, stacked up, each layer is like a new world.

There are a total of... thirty-three levels!
And from the thirty-third heaven, a magnificent sword seemed to come from outside the sky, crossing the boundary, hanging upside down to the sky, like a Milky Way running through the thirty-three heavens!
Xu Guang's face instantly showed surprise and shock.

This sword...

Very strong.

Xu Guang felt an extreme sense of danger. He even thought that if he was careless, facing this sword, he would at least be seriously injured, or even... die!

It has been too long since he felt the threat of death...
