Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 214 Competition
General's House.

Cao Wei and Jiang Linxian sat at the top of the hall, with the five guards on their left and right.

Li Rui sat on the edge of Ning Zhongtian.

Sitting opposite was a handsome young man in white.

Ning Zhongtian stretched his neck and lowered his voice: "Is this boy the grandson?"

Li Rui nodded:

"I heard that Duke Wei's grandson Qi Ze has a handsome face, so he should be this person."

It is said that the big family has a deep foundation.

Qi Ze was only in his early twenties, but he had already passed the Dragon Gate, much younger than Li Rui, who was 76 years old.

Of course, if it is longer than the time spent practicing martial arts, then it will be different.

These disciples from big families have been eating medicinal pills as if they were candies since they were young, taking medicinal baths before they even take off their crotchless pants, and practicing boy's skills at the age of three.

Some of them look only ten years old, but they already have seven or eight years of experience. The peasants in the initial stage cannot compare to them at all.

Seeing everyone present, Cao Wei smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, let me talk about the first thing. Liao Wu's appointment document has been sent down. From now on, everyone must cooperate and make more contributions to An Ning Wei."

Feng Yu and others looked at Liao Wu.

They all gave him friendly looks.

As for Ning Zhongtian and the others, they just curled their lips and pretended not to hear.

Liao Wu slowly stood up and bowed to everyone.

Becoming a defender is a great honor:
"Everyone, please take care of me in the future."

Then he sat down again.

The corners of Cao Wei's mouth rose slightly, firstly because he was happy about having a new capable subordinate, and secondly because he was happy about what was to come.

"Another thing, this is Qi Ze. According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Personnel, this position of Simao Xiaowei is of great significance, and the most capable person will be appointed. After selection, Qi Ze, Ning Zhongtian and Li Rui were finally chosen."

Say it.

Everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Especially Liao Wu and the other two, they were gloating over other people’s misfortune.

Originally, Liao Wu and Li Rui were supposed to announce their appointments today, but the Sixao Commandant was noticed by the Duke of Weiguo, which caused complications.

Li Rui's lieutenant was in danger, but his garrison had already fallen into the trap.

If this happened to me, I would be so angry that I would die.

Cao Wei paused:
"The Simao lieutenant is a military officer. Our dynasty was founded on military power, so naturally whoever is stronger will be the lieutenant. Qi Ze, Li Rui, you go first."

He didn't give any chance before the draw.

Direct arrangement.

Li Rui and Qi Ze had no objection to this.

The Captain Simao was originally chosen from between the two of them, and Ning Zhongtian was just a safety option put forward by Jiang Linxian.

Try not to go if you can.

Cao Wei thinks so too.

As long as Li Rui is not allowed to be the captain of Si Mao, his purpose of disgusting Jiang Linxian will be achieved. As for who wins in the end, he doesn't care.

Qi Ze stood up slowly.

Looking at the little old man in front of him: "Master Li, please."

Li Rui also stood up: "Please."

Qi Ze looked at the lobby and said, "Master Cao, this place is too small. It would be indecent if something was damaged. Why don't we fight outside?"

"allow."

Cao Wei nodded.

Immediately.

Then walk to the martial arts field outside the general's mansion.

There are still many soldiers training here, and the loud shouts can be heard everywhere.

Everyone soon saw Cao Wei, Jiang Linxian and their group, and they all gathered around to join in the fun.

Everyone was talking at once.

Cao Wei just glanced at it indifferently and didn't stop it.

The An Ning Guards admire the strong and respect martial arts, so this competition between the two is just the right way to motivate the soldiers of the An Ning Guards to train well.

Qi Ze and Li Rui walked to the center of the martial arts arena and stood opposite each other. To outsiders, it seemed that they were on the verge of a showdown.

Qi Ze no longer had the heart to be polite, and he didn't plan to continue to be polite. He made a move to lunge forward.

Li Rui still clasped his fists and said, "Please."

Qi Ze snorted lightly, and shook his folding fan, which turned into a long sword like a magic trick. At the same time, a shadow appeared behind him, and a huge white crane slowly spread its wings.

Picture of white crane spreading its wings!
Seeing this scene, Ning Zhongtian's eyes showed a solemn look.

The painting of White Crane Spreading Its Wings is a top-grade painting for moving qi.

Very high grade.

At least it is much stronger than his Qi form.

"Some skills."

Ning Zhongtian's heart tightened and he was worried about Li Rui and himself in the future.

From observation, Qi Ze's crane shape is extremely extraordinary.

"Yes, yes, Qi Ze is actually quite suitable to be the Commandant of Simao. What do you think, Lord Jiang?"

Cao Wei looked at Jiang Linxian with a smile.

These words were obviously said intentionally to anger Jiang Linxian.

Jiang Linxian stood there calmly, her expression not changing at all.

Li Rui was still laughing.

I shook my head in my heart:

"Young man."

As soon as we met, we did two meaningless things.

First, create weapons from the folding fan.

He watched his apprentice Liu Tiezhu forging iron every day and knew a lot about weapons. He could even create a sword from a folding fan. That was because the sword itself was made hollow, which was why it had this effect.

I am not a god or Buddha, so of course I can't have the ability to hold a mustard seed in Mount Sumeru.

But this design is not for showing off, but for taking the enemy by surprise in battle.

Second, his true colors were exposed early on.

If it were Li Rui, he would definitely release it at the critical moment of the battle.

That's why he said he was too young.

Qi Ze frowned slightly.

laugh?
For some reason, he always felt that Li Rui's smile was mocking him.

"court death!"

He felt inexplicably irritated, so he just let out a low shout and rushed forward with his sword in hand.

A crane cries.

The long sword spit out like a silver snake, piercing Li Rui's chest. Li Rui drew his long sword.

With his agile body, he dodged Qi Ze's sword by leaning sideways, and at the same time, he swung his sword sideways.

But listen.

when!
There was a sound of metal clanking.

The long sword landed on Qi Ze's true energy one inch away, and he could no longer get any closer!

hiss!
The five guards could no longer sit still and all took a deep breath.

"White crane folds its wings, invulnerable to swords and spears!"

Especially Ning Zhongtian, his expression turned ugly in an instant.

The reason why the White Crane Spreading Its Wings diagram is of extremely high grade is that when practiced to a high level, one can comprehend the two moves of White Crane Reporting Its Wings and White Crane Spreading Its Wings.

The white crane folded its wings and protected its body with true Qi, which was as hard as divine iron.

It is almost invulnerable to swords and guns.

He didn't expect that Qi Ze, at such a young age, had such attainments in Qi Gathering.

'No wonder the Duke of Wei values ​​him so much.'

There was also a hint of surprise in Cao Wei's eyes. Just relying on this one move, it was enough for Qi Ze to walk sideways among the warriors of the first level of Longmen. Even the Ningyuan warriors might not be his opponents.

Qi Ze stood up and relaxed his shoulders: "Why, are you scared?"

Although he just used the White Crane Wings to easily block the old man's sword attack, this also meant that he lost to Li Rui in terms of moves in the previous fight.

He, a genius from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, actually lost to an unknown old man from Qinghe?

This made him very unhappy.

So he decided to defeat Li Rui within ten moves to wash away the shame.

"Very good, you succeeded in irritating me."

Qi Ze is no longer as elegant as before.

Li Rui still had a faint smile on his face: "Please."

The two fought again.

This time, Li Rui was no longer just defending.

The sword technique has changed from the previous defense-oriented one to a more open and aggressive one, directly using the sword as a hammer.

The strong wind seemed to hit Qi Ze's sword.

once.

twice.

In the blink of an eye, after a hundred moves, Qi Ze's hand holding the sword began to tremble.

Looking at the sword again, there was an obvious bend in the middle.

Yes, it was smashed out by Li Rui.

"How does he have so much strength?"

Li Rui's moves just now seemed brutal and unreasonable, but each one of them hit his vital points directly, making it impossible for him to fight back.

Of course Li Rui would not tell Qi Ze.

He had planned all this long ago.

Due to the design of Qi Ze's weapon, it was hollow in the middle, which made it not strong enough, so he focused on the weak point and changed from chopping to smashing, leaving Qi Ze no chance to even draw his sword.

Is it the sword's problem?

Actually, it’s a people problem.

If Li Rui used this sword, it would not have been possible for him to show it at the beginning.

A strange and treacherous sword, if used in a fair and honest way, is destined to be buried.

Qi Ze glanced at the strange looks of the people around him, and a ferocious look flashed across his face. He was really angry:

"Originally I was going to save this move for last, but I'll let you see it first."

The words fell.

The cry of the white crane phantom became louder, and its wings vibrated, reaching a height of two meters.

"White Crane Spreads Its Wings!"

Speak each word with emphasis.

The people around them all held their breath.

Ning Zhongtian's eyelids were twitching wildly.

He originally thought that Qi Ze was already gifted for being able to practice the White Crane Holding Wings, but he didn't expect that he had also figured out his killer move, White Crane Spreading Wings.

His eyes were extremely solemn.

Even he might not be able to take on this move.

When Jiang Linxian heard those four words, her expression finally changed a little.

All of a sudden.

The white crane behind Qi Ze actually broke away from his body and turned into a stream of light that shot towards Li Rui. The strong wind it created made it impossible for the soldiers watching the excitement around them to open their eyes.

This move is really powerful.

But almost at the moment the white crane flapped its wings.

boom!
A loud thunderclap suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked up suddenly.

It's clearly a clear sky!
When they looked towards the center of the martial arts arena again, a giant dragon that was ten feet tall and ten feet long suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Dragon.

There are several places where it is prominently featured in ancient mythology.

The Yu State also revered the dragon.

But dragons have only ever existed on murals and sculptures.

When the dragon appears before one's eyes alive, no one can help but want to bow down to it.

"Is this a dragon?"

Some soldiers' hearts skipped a beat.

The divine dragon destroyed the white crane almost instantly, which was due to the suppression from the rank.

There are few dragon-shaped warriors, but they can still be seen in front of the hundreds of millions of people in the Yu Kingdom.

It often gives a feeling of slow progress and being big but not strong.

But Li Rui's dragon form is big and strong!
When someone's Qi level is higher than yours and they are stronger than you, failure is inevitable.

Qi Ze's eyes widened in disbelief:
"No way, absolutely impossible."

But the dragon won't give him a chance.

moment.

He was submerged by the dragon, and then he saw a man being blown away like a sandbag, thrown three or four feet into the air.

At this time.

Cao Wei flashed and caught Qi Ze.

He gave Li Rui a complicated look and uttered three words:
"Li Rui wins!"
