Chapter 149: Supreme Physical Strength, Invincible Mentality

Pojun told Li Guanyi everything he had accomplished.

After the top four are decided tomorrow, the seven kings will invite people to a banquet, and the emperor will also conduct a ceremony before the grand sacrifice with his ministers. I heard that the envoy of the Emperor of Zhongzhou has already set out and will arrive here soon.

"Besides, it will rain tomorrow night."

"The rain will wash away most of the traces."

Li Guanyi: "How do you know?"

Po Jun smiled slightly and replied: "The weather, the terrain, the flow of water, and the production of things, aren't these the basics of being a strategist? My martial arts are ordinary and mediocre, so there must be other areas where I am good at."

Li Guanyi said: "Sir, you are very talented."

Po Jun raised the corner of his mouth, then stretched out his hand and clenched his fist to his lips, and said lightly: "It's just an ordinary thing, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

In the second battle, Ye Buyi fought against Yu Wenhua.

Yu Wenhua is five years older than Ye Buyi.

They are all descendants of famous generals. Five years represents the span from youth to young adulthood. Ye Buyi fought steadily and although he did not win, he demonstrated his strength and magnanimity to the fullest and never weakened in momentum.

Yu Wenhua said: "The son of the commander of the Night Cavalry is indeed quite capable."

"One day on the battlefield, I will wait for you to lead the Night Cavalry."

Ye Buyi said indifferently: "You will see."

In the first two matches of the quarter-finals, both the losers and the winners were dignified, folded their arms, and leaned against a tree on the side. Although he was far away, he could see the subtle changes in the expression on the emperor's face.

It was to bring fame to his son.

However, human hearts are hard to predict.

Yu Jinbingge Qu Zaishi said to himself: "Jackals also have their own spirit. Such resentment can show their talent and talent in the arena and on the battlefield. In the conspiracy, they can thrive like a fish in water, but you must let the resentful wolf ascend to the world."

"In the eyes of the world, go and compete with tigers and leopards."

"Have you never thought that there are also many heroes among the younger generation?"

"Even though his martial arts skills are not as good as the one I have cultivated with all my efforts."

"But such courage and the spirit of a general are far more rare than martial arts."

Qu Zaishi was dismissive.

On the second day, many more people from the martial arts world gathered around the arena. They came for Xu Huiyang, the grandson of the Sword Saint. After all, it was a big event that happened once every ten years. Emperor Chen also said that he wanted to share the joy with the people, so naturally there were many people watching.

"Is that the Little Swordsman ranked 34th on the Famous Heroes List?"

"He is indeed a handsome man with a refined demeanor."

"I heard that he has unique skills that combine the essence of the three sword arts. Although he has not really used his skills in the past few years, his name is still well-known in the martial arts world. It is said that he is the most likely person in the Sword Saint family to take over the title of Saint."

"Yes, in the Sword Saint lineage, among his generation, he is the leader in terms of talent and character."

Suddenly, a Jianghu guest sighed: "What a pity, what a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity. The sword maniac Murong Longtu has dominated the world, but this old man is stuck in one city. The two countries are fighting with the Eighteen Prefectures of Jiangnan as pawns. The children of the Murong family have also paid a lot and made many sacrifices, making it difficult for them to travel and improve themselves."

"Among the younger generation, I'm afraid no one can keep the title of [Kuang]."

The martial artists were silent, but they were also bold enough to say such words here.

One of them pressed his eyebrows, holding a carving knife in one hand and a bamboo scroll in the other, and said, "If the little swordsman can win the first prize in the Chen Kingdom Grand Festival this time, his name should be even more famous, enough to enter the top 30."

The famous heroes list is for newcomers in the martial arts world before the age of thirty.

Most of the first thirty were as talented as Xu Huiyang when they were young.

Now, after years of trials and tribulations, they are all twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

In terms of cultivation level, they are far beyond what Xu Huiyang, who is ten years younger than them.

Some people were curious: "I wonder how well the young Jinwu Guard who fought against him would perform?"

The man holding the carving knife replied, "Impossible."

"That Jinwu Guard has some brute strength at best, but his martial arts realm is only the second level. Although it is quite good for his age, there is still a huge gap compared to Xu Huiyang who is at the third level."

"It would be good if he could hold out for thirty rounds."

"If you can hold out for fifty rounds, you will have the strength to be at the bottom of the Famous Heroes List. However, this is all due to the influence of the Divine Generals List. The Famous Heroes List also looks at what you have done before confirming your ranking, so that the heroes of the martial arts world can refer to it. If you have this strength but haven't done anything, it will be difficult for you to be on the list."

This man is one of the guests of the No. 1 Lou in the World, and he collects anecdotes from all over the world.

Someone who is curious said, "Hahaha, that's true, but why don't you make a list of the most beautiful women? I heard there is a girl with a beautiful face, innocent and romantic, who is worthy of being on the list."

The man frowned and replied, "I know."

"You're talking about the little girl from the Xue family."

"Like peonies, they are young and beautiful, but unfortunately, they will never make the list."

The guest of Tianxia Diyilou grinned and said, "The highest list of Jianghu Grandmasters represents the list of Jianghu Heroes who have dominated the world after the age of thirty, and there is also the list of Jianghu Heroes who are young and ambitious before the age of thirty. These three lists seek fame and list martial arts, so that's all."

"Do you know that there are only two types of people on the Most Beautiful List?"

"First, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, but she has no powerful force to protect her, so she has to be on the list."

"Secondly, she is the most beautiful woman in the world and has a powerful person to protect her. She wants to use this list of the most beautiful women in the world to become famous in the world."

"That young lady, although still young, is already on the list, but she is backed by the Xue family, whose chambers of commerce are spread across many countries and whose wealth is immense; the old man Xue Daoyong in her family is not on the list of martial arts masters, but he is so skilled in martial arts that he can shoot an arrow that can penetrate mountains and rivers fifty miles away."

"That is a warrior who has lived for two generations."

"I always say that I'm old and weak, and I can't do it anymore, but two months ago I had a huge fight with Yue Qianfeng, who was ranked 34th on the Godly General Rankings. What's the point of saying I'm old and weak?"

"Being on the list of beauties will bring fame and trouble, but the eldest daughter of the Xue family does not need fame, and she hates trouble even more. If she is on the list, perhaps Xue Daoyong of the Xue family will come to the tower the next day. This will only cause trouble, so it is better not to do it."

"There was also one in the Murong family back then. She was the granddaughter of Murong Longtu."

"She was ranked in the top ten of the beauty list, but within just three days, Sword Maniac and Duke Taiping successively entered the list. The owner of the list was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so he had to remove her. On the contrary, another person, Murong Longtu's granddaughter, found this very interesting and had to enter the list just for fun."

The onlookers were surprised and asked, "How can you be so clear?"

Tu Shengyuan, the guest of Tianxia Diyilou, grinned and said, "I was in the queue back then."

So everyone stood in awe.

Tu Shengyuan said: "I won't be wrong this time."

"That Jinwu Guard, Li Guanyi, will never win. I bet he can last thirty to fifty rounds. If he loses, I will eat this scroll of bamboo slips!"

Everyone praised his eyesight, and the competition arena was ready. The emperor also came to watch the competition. The seven kings, Ying State's Jiang Gao, and Jiang Yuan were all at the top, while on the left were the old man of the Xue family and Concubine Xue, and on the right were Tan Tai Xian Ming and the Queen.

Because there are so many people, the number of people who come to the first battle today is actually the largest in the past few days. It is lively and noisy, and it seems that the battle between Xu Huiyang and Li Guanyi has an indescribable momentum, which is bound to be more intense than the last battle.

The emperor lowered his eyes, his expression calm.

He recognized Xu Huiyang's martial arts.

Li Guanyi just wants to be defeated quickly.

This is because the combined reputation of the two of them will naturally fall on his son, which is actually within his expectations.

Xu Huiyang, dressed in white and wearing a dark jade hairpin, stood on the stage with a sword case on his back.

Li Guanyi, Ye Buyi, Zhou Liuying and other friends of the Jinwu Guard exchanged punches one by one, then picked up their halberds and stepped onto the ring.

Xu Huiyang said, "Brother Li, please accept today's battle."

Li Guanyi raised his weapon: "Please."

Xu Huiyang smiled slightly, but did not draw his sword. He just attacked with his sword finger, and the sword energy gathered and attacked Li Guanyi. This move was extremely fast, because he knew that Li Guanyi had not opened his eyes, so he planned to fight fast and end the battle quickly.

But his movements faltered.

The powerful sound of breaking through the air was almost like thunder.

An afterimage slashed down.

The halberd was extremely accurate and hit the sword energy.

The sword energy shattered and turned into pure energy, sweeping across Li Guanyi, cutting his arms and clothes. Xu Huiyang saw his sword energy fall on Li Guanyi's arm, leaving only a white mark.

! ! ! ! !

Xu Huiyang's pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment, the heavy and domineering spear had already chopped down, and Xu Huiyang saw the trajectory of this move very clearly.

However, extreme power brings extreme speed.

Seeing it doesn't mean you can avoid it.

Being able to sense it doesn't mean you can take it.

The sound of swords rang out in all directions. A sword appeared in Xu Huiyang's palm. He used the sword to directly entangle the halberd, then stepped back, entangled the sword, and pushed along the force of the halberd. This sword skill was extremely proficient, and the inner Qi of the third level burst out.

boom! ! !
The halberd slammed heavily to the ground, leaving a hole on the bluestone arena.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

After everyone fell silent, there were suddenly bursts of exclamations and discussions. Tu Shengyuan stared at the battle and murmured, "Xu Huiyang, draw your sword?" The little sword master had never drawn his sword since he entered the competition. He just pointed his sword and looked down on everyone. At this moment, he was forced to draw his sword with just one move.

Xu Huiyang looked at the crack, and his gentle smile finally stopped.

His palm is still in severe pain.

His internal energy was tremendous, but the opponent's physique was much stronger than his.

Li Guanyi grasped the halberd, pulled out the halberd tip, held the weapon with both hands, and used the Xue family halberd in the Four Barbarians Submission Style to fight the enemy. This was the origin of the Xue family halberd's twenty-four styles, it was upright and had endless uses.

Xu Huiyang held the sword and the internal energy flow changed.

Directly transform the internal qi into armor.

This change shocked all the onlookers.

The third heaven versus the second heaven.

As a result, after the first move, he used the iconic method of transforming internal energy into armor. Wasn't it a bit too bullying? The prince only knew that Xu Huiyang had always been gentle and would never use his power to bully others.

That means one thing.

The pressure from the opponent is great enough.

Elder Xue burst into laughter and said, "What a shame, what a shame! If Guan Yi wore a heavy armor, he would be truly invincible."

Tan Tai Xian Ming said calmly: "The cultivation is a little low."

The fight started instantly. Xu Huiyang was worthy of being the descendant of the Sword Saint. His sword energy was unparalleled and he used boundless and exquisite moves from the beginning. The onlookers were all shocked. They could see countless mysterious sword techniques in his moves, as well as the shadows of all the sword techniques in the world.

"This, using simplicity to control complexity, how could such a level of swordsmanship appear in a swordsman of this age?"

"When used casually, it is a move that can be varied and used in endless ways."

"As expected of the Sword Master's grandson."

They were thinking about how to break his moves, but they found that Xu Huiyang had already mastered the swordsmanship to perfection. No matter what, he had a follow-up move waiting for him, which was endless and continuous. Li Guanyi's moves were far less sophisticated than his.

However, under the guidance of General Xue, Li Guanyi had already fought against many geniuses.

He knew what a military strategist like him should do when faced with such a move.

Li Guanyi held the halberd in one hand and stepped forward suddenly.

Step forward towards the sword.

Xu Huiyang was slightly stunned, and then he saw the young man's right hand slide along the handle of the halberd to the tail end. His fingers tapped the anti-slip thing at the tail of the halberd, and then he used his shoulder to make a circle, like whipping a whip, and swept it suddenly. The handle of the halberd seemed to bend, making a very dull humming sound.

Li Guanyi's shoulder will be pierced by the sword energy.

But the halberd sweep of this range.

Xu Huiyang would be hit hard on the waist.

The internal organs there are so vital that Xu Huiyang's physique cannot withstand it at all!
Upright.

Break the law with force!

As long as Xu Huiyang did not intend to fight to the death with Li Guanyi, he had to retreat, so all his sword skills turned into a point, and the sword tip skillfully pointed at the high-speed moving halberd. The sword body bent and rebounded, and Xu Huiyang pushed it away with exquisite footwork.

Li Guan followed the changes of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams and stepped from the Qian Palace to the Li Fire Palace.

He appeared behind Xu Huiyang, thrusting forward suddenly with the halberd in both hands.

His moves are profound, domineering, and utilize the power of destroying mountains.

Each move is not the original [Mountain Destroying].

But the core of every move is the kind of domineering posture of [Crushing the Mountain]. He only follows his own path. No matter how exquisite your moves are, as long as I hit you with one move, you must follow the changes of my moves, otherwise, either you die or I get hurt!

The sword energy was everywhere and the halberd shadows were roaring.

Ten rounds, twenty rounds.

Thirty matches.

Forty together.

The swords and spears flew back and forth. Yu Wenhua and Geshu Yin watched the fight with sharp eyes. They subconsciously stood on Li Guanyi's side, because his fighting style was completely in the style of a military general.

Yu Wenhua clenched his fist and said softly:
"This is the opponent I will meet on the battlefield someday..."

boom! ! !
The halberd swept across, breaking through the air with a fierce sound, and Li Guanyi suddenly felt the halberd sink.

Xu Huiyang stood on the tip of his halberd.

His sleeves fluttered, his demeanor was magnificent, and his martial arts skills were so strong that he was unrivaled among his peers.

"Good physique..."

"Your halberd is very powerful and your martial arts skills are not low. If I get hit by you, I'm afraid I'll lose. But your internal energy is insufficient, so your lightness skills can't keep up with mine, and your halberd can't really hit me."

"Let's decide the outcome in another way."

Xu Huiyang held the sword with the tip slightly raised.

"Academy·Heart Sword."

"Be careful."

People suddenly discovered that the two young warriors who had just been fighting in an extremely fierce manner had stopped. They were breathing evenly and each held a weapon, but they did not attack. Although they did not attack, the solemn and murderous aura on the ring was even more intense than before.

"King Gongyang Su's sword of heart directly probes the heart."

"As long as your mind is strong enough, you can use the weak to defeat the strong!"

"To use something so dangerous."

"This little swordsman is also a little determined."

At this moment, Xu Huiyang was walking in Li Guanyi's mind with a sword in his hand. This was to question the existence in his heart. With my sincere heart, I would question your heart. Many changes arose in Li Guanyi's mind, including the figures of powerful men, but Xu Huiyang's background was stronger and he had more adventures.

He also has a figure.

Finally, the two of them confronted each other in mind.

Xu Huiyang held the sword, his eyes bright and warm, and said: "I hold the sword because my heart is sincere. This body, this heart, this spirit and soul are all born for the sword and act for the sword. When I was five years old, I walked past the sword tomb without picking up a sword. I finally knew it."

"I will surpass Grandpa and all the swordsmen in history."

"That's why I wield my sword."

"May I ask, how are you?"

Xu Huiyang's sword heart is burning.

The Confucian heart sword refers only to the heart. Ask for one word, and it is called sincerity.

I am sincere, and you are sincere.

He was sincere in swordsmanship, so this move suited him best. Under his control, the enemy could hardly move. But at this moment, he saw the changes in Li Guanyi's mind, and pictures appeared one after another, including vegetable farmers buying and selling their children, the family letter from the deserter Qian Zheng, and the ghost market where people were sold.

There are things I have seen and heard during the past ten years of fleeing, including the musician with a broken arm.

See those people who thanked him.

Looking at the Mohist school that never stopped running around, Xu Huiyang seemed to see a prosperous city. It was so prosperous, but it seemed as if blood was oozing out from everywhere. Xu Huiyang saw the young man in front of him slowly raising the sword. Under the suppression of the sword in his heart, his mind still had the strength to fight.

Xu Huiyang's extremely clear sword intent slowly solidified, and he felt a certain insignificance.

This place is as brilliant and magnificent as the rising sun.

The young man walked in front of the sun.

He saw the last reason why Li Guanyi picked up the sword.

It seemed as if there was another voice whispering in Li Guanyi's heart, the overlapping of the old voice and the young voice, gradually approaching grandeur:
"The land is filled with grief and the city is filled with blood."

"It's nothing more than a thought to save the common people."

This sword is brilliant and magnificent, and it cuts down with one sword.
