My enemies became my companions

Chapter 177 Two Fists vs Four Hands

As dusk spread across the forest, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and grim.

Although Tongbei Shenyuan is not among the top ten in the martial arts list, and is far from it, its reputation may not be inferior to the top ten in the martial arts list.

The reasons for this are, firstly, that he has a friend who is in the top ten of the martial arts list, and secondly, that his Qinggong is very fast...extremely fast!
The wind was blowing hard and Zhang Xuqu had already moved.

Only intermittent afterimages remained of the scene before his eyes, and when Chen Yi saw him clearly, he had already kicked up and swept towards his face.

The sound of wind blows across the sky, and the strong wind reveals the strong grass.

Chen Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and relying on the Shangqing Heart Method, he seized the opportunity when Zhang Xuqu slightly slowed down when he raised his leg to exert force, and suddenly tilted his head back three inches.

Zhang Xuqu's kick was so powerful that even though it missed, it hit the rock wall, creating a hideous crack. Fine pieces of sand and gravel slid down like a mountain collapsing and rocks splitting.

After the attack missed, Zhang Xuqu used his other foot to step on the ground and suddenly rushed back, leaving Chen Yi no chance to draw his sword and kill him.

After Zhang Xuqu stood firm, he looked relaxed:

"It's really fast, but not as fast as me."

Chen Yi's brows were solemn. Although he didn't know why this person wanted to kill him, he knew how troublesome this person was.

He slowly pulled Wu Za Nian out of the scabbard, and it shone brightly with silver light.

Chen Yi signaled Yin Tingxue to step back.

After being scolded by him, Yin Tingxue now obeyed his orders. She quickly retreated into the cave, watching the fight with wide eyes and anxiety.

A strong wind blew from the mountains, and the two men were stuck in the woods.

Zhang Xuqu was not in a hurry to make another move, but chatted casually:
"I have been trying to find out about you in this sect, and I discovered that you are so unpopular that even your colleagues want to kill you."

Chen Yi did not move, but looked at Zhang Xuqu vigilantly.
"Which colleague?"

"Qiu Gang, the Secretary of Zhige, I can get along with him quite well. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be here soon."

There was a fierce look in Zhang Xuqu's eyes.
"Why don't you take action? Are you going to fight two people alone?"

Chen Yi moved his toes slightly and stopped immediately.

The fallen leaves were flying everywhere, and still no one was moving between the two.

Zhang Xuqu was very fast, and in order to bring his Qinggong skills to the extreme, he practiced horizontal training. However, no matter how fast a person is, when exerting force at close range, before the force reaches the target, his speed will definitely slow down. Ordinary people may not be able to see the tricks, let alone understand the difference, but for the two of them, this slowdown was enough to be fatal.

The missed kick just now made Zhang Xuqu realize that Chen Yi was able to see through the timing of the attack, so he deliberately provoked him with words, wanting Chen Yi to attack first, while he would be the first to arrive.

However, the swordsman in the bamboo hat in front of him was not moved at all.

The only possibility is that he had already thought of the third step, and in the moment his train of thought changed, he guessed what he was thinking.

Zhang Xuqu said with more respect: "He is a great talent."

Chen Yi didn't reply.

He did not think as much as Zhang Xuqu. He just passed the level for a while and lived again. He knew that Zhang Xuqu liked to provoke people with words, causing the enemy to reveal their flaws, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

Seeing that he remained calm, Zhang Xuqu became more cautious.

Yin Tingxue watched this scene with some fear and confusion. She looked at the two people who were in a stalemate without making any moves, and her heart was full of confusion.

You have to know that Chen Yi had always acted swiftly before, but he would suddenly attack after just a few words.

Yin Tingxue didn't remain puzzled for too long before she saw an extremely funny scene.

She saw Zhang Xuqu holding up the rock wall of the cave with one hand and kicking forward randomly with one foot, while Wuza Nian in Chen Yi's hand slipped out of his hand. His knees were slightly bent, and his left hand seemed to be supporting Zhang Xuqu's calf.

This scene seemed to be frozen in time, and it was so funny that Yin Tingxue almost laughed out loud.

Chen Yi looked at Zhang Xuqu with an uncertain expression, while the latter was still in shock.

The speed of the fight just now was so fast that all the noise was almost invisible.

Zhang Xuqu has no weapons and is practicing horizontal kung fu. Although he has body-building techniques like the Bronze Bone Kung Fu, he will not take a direct blow unless it is absolutely necessary.

So just now, when the afterimage flashed by, Zhang Xuqu clenched the inside of his left hand, as if he was going to punch Chen Yi in the face, and Chen Yi also prepared to strike back at the right time.

However, Zhang Xuqu stepped forward with both feet, swung his left hand, and suddenly grabbed the rock wall above, and kicked out with all his strength to collapse the mountain and rubble!
With this kick, Chen Yi’s entire head was almost broken.

With the Shangqing Heart Method, Chen Yi barely managed to stop the knife, and in a hurry, he threw the knife away without any strength, and suddenly raised his arm to catch Zhang Xuqu's moment to exert force, blocking the kick. So, Chen Yi seemed to have thrown the knife away in a panic.

Zhang Xuqu had no time to change his tactics, so this kick looked like a random one.

The two men were in a stalemate for about a moment. Zhang Xuqu used force with his five fingers, pushed his body downward, and broke free from Chen Yi. Chen Yi also stepped back, his toes touching the hilt of the Wuzaonian sword. After the Xiuchun Sword rolled around, he attacked again.

Zhang Xuqu stared at the former captain of the Western Factory. He was unarmed and had to use his short weapons to defeat the long ones. He had been walking on the edge of a knife since he had been wandering in the world. He had honed his body skills to be extremely fast and used his hands to perform unexpected and risky moves that others could not imagine, just like the iron cavalry that crossed the Gobi Desert to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Almost every time he took a risky move, he survived to the end.

But this is the first time that I can’t even get any advantage.

"Your last name is Chen, and you're wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a sword. It reminds me of an old friend." Zhang Xuqu said in a casual tone.

"Broken Swordsman?"

Zhang Xuqu said calmly: "He is very fast. At your level, he is much faster than you, but you are still very much like him. You can always find a fleeting opportunity."

Chen Yi had a blank expression on his face. Having killed upper and middle-level corpses before, he no longer cared about these praises.

Seeing that he didn't move, Zhang Xuqu didn't stop talking: "But you are not as good as him in one aspect."

"Which point?"

"You are very versatile. You use one method when holding the sword and another method when you drop the sword. You have mastered each martial art as if you have studied it for fifty or sixty years. You are truly a prodigy."

Zhang Xuqu seemed like an old veteran in the martial arts world. He changed the subject and said:

“But he’s just a wizard.”

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"There are so many martial arts geniuses in the world, just like the fish in the river. I don't know how many geniuses like you have seen fighting and struggling in the martial arts world, relying on their talents to practice one more skill and have one more trump card. It is often said that having too many skills is not a burden, but how many people know that having too many skills can also be a burden."

Zhang Xuqu said this with emotion and maturity:
"A genius like you has long been dependent. You can see the vastness of the world, but you can't see yourself. You can see the vastness of the rivers and seas, but you can't find a single boat. In the final analysis, you haven't realized your own intention.

The way of martial arts is a high mountain, and you...cannot climb it."

Hearing his intention, Chen Yi asked calmly:
"Then tell me, how can we understand it?"

"There is a role model."

Zhang Xuqu sneered and said sarcastically:

But let’s not talk about whether you can survive from there. Even if you do, you can’t reach their level, let alone compare with them.

That person did not appear in the world for twenty years, just to achieve the perfection of a sword. "

Chen Yi fixed his gaze and asked:
"who is it?"

Zhang Xuqu said calmly:
"The sword armor of Yinjian Mountain, ranked ninth in the world, is Zhou Yitang."

Chen Yi's eyes looked strange.

Forget it, there's no point in asking.

It was a waste of time to see him pretending to be so cool in front of me.

It’s too high to reach, too hard to even dream of?
I have climbed it a long time ago and have also seen it a long time ago.

Zhang Xuqu didn't know what he was thinking, but turned his head and looked behind him, then asked with a smile:
"By the way, have you ever thought about why I have been talking to you for so long?"

Chen Yi did not speak, so Zhang Xuqu continued:

"Qiu Gang is here, do you really think I lied to you?"

A strong wind blew past, and a powerful saber appeared in the dense forest at dusk.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

It looks like I'll have to fight one against two.

Two fists against four hands?
Before Chen Yi had time to get nervous, Yin Tingxue started stamping her feet in panic.

A little worry passed through my mind.
What should I do if he dies?
