Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 26: Swords clash, a life-and-death battle, Master Lu is shocked, you... have entered the sword gate! ?

Lu Yu stopped.

Ji Xiu also stopped.

Then, Lu Yu's slightly helpless voice slowly sounded:
"Brother Luo, it's just a place for an ordinary 'guest'. You don't need to wear a sword or a knife, and you don't need the 'brand' given by this old man. You are too..."

"Isn't that making a fuss?"

"My Lu family is wealthy and powerful, with a monthly salary of ten taels and a spacious yard. It's not like we can't make room for it!"

"Although you are ten years older than me, and you have become an expert at 'Bone Tempering' in the past two years, the old man thinks highly of you and has entrusted part of the management of Lu Manor to you."

"But now, my bones have been tempered, and it's only a matter of time before I completely enter. Could it be that even these words don't count in the manor?"

Ji Xiu heard the stiffness in Lu Yu's tone clearly. He immediately understood and looked up.

But see,

In front of him stood a cold-faced man in red clothes with a long sword on his waist. He left a deep mark wherever he went with his footsteps. He was accompanied by two retainers with swords on their waists.

Blocked Lu Yu and Ji Xiu's way completely.

"This is the most classic of all. The heir apparent and his heir are competing for supremacy, and I bumped into them?"

See this scene.

Ji Xiu's face twitched and he almost became depressed.

In this world where martial arts are highly valued, there are many kinds of disciples.

Like the so-called inheritance
To be honest, it is no different from being a "biological son". After the master dies, he can wear mourning clothes and inherit the family business.

The disciple accepted by Lu Chengfeng, the owner of Lu Manor, is called 'Luo Xiao'. He has been cultivated since he was young. Except for not changing his name, he has been cultivated with all his strength and treated as his own son.

Ji Xiu lives on the street outside Huoyao.

But it is clear
This guy is the head rent collector for the entire kiln, above all the shopkeepers and managers.

Even such a task can be entrusted to him, you can imagine how much he values me.

Moreover, he is also an expert at tempering bones and has entered the second step of the 'Strength Barrier'!

But if taken alone, he is enough to open a boxing school!

I can't afford to offend anyone at the moment.

But under normal circumstances, it’s okay to just endure and stay away from it.

But today was just a coincidence.
You have to come here to block my future!

What bad luck!

"Junior brother, you are older now and have made great progress in your cultivation. It would be a good thing if you could help the owner of the manor share some of the burden."

"But I have heard that the eldest daughter of the Lin family, who has not returned for nine years, has now 'tempered bones to perfection, mercury blood and silver marrow', and has made more progress than her father. She is about to start refining her skin, and her future is immeasurable."

"I just heard about it before, and I didn't pay much attention to it."

"But from now on, in another ten or twenty years, with her in charge, the Lin family will surely be on par with our Lu family."

"You are taking such a risk to protect a warrior who has just entered the martial arts realm and has never seen blood. Even if he has some talent, what's the point?"

"To recruit more people, you can just pick some good players from the village. I have no objection."

"But before, in front of the owner of the manor and many retainers, you insisted on giving this crazy slave the title of 'Sword-bearing Retainer' and even gave him a 'brand' for that matter. You treated him with such respect!"

"You know, you've disappointed many of our retainers who used to respect you?"

"Lu Manor has recruited quite a few people who are good at strengthening their energy, nourishing their blood, and strengthening their muscles."

"No matter how strong you are"

"These people are all experts who have licked blood on the tip of the knife!"

"This kid behind you, let alone anything else, has killed people with his sword. Does he dare to kill people?"

"If you can't even do this, what's the point of being a retainer?"

Luo Xiao sneered.

This caused the two retainers on the left and right to burst into laughter:

"Yes."

"Boy, if I give you a sword, can you use it?"

One of them, a man with a scar on his face and wearing a grey shirt, drew out the sword from his waist and sneered:

"I have been practicing in Hongjiang for five years, and have been a swordsman for three years. I have been traveling in the mountains for two years, and my blade has been stained with blood. In order to learn the subsequent standing exercises and secret methods, I joined the 'Lu Zhuang' and became a disciple."

"It's been a year now, and I still haven't gotten Lu Zhuang's Hundred Forged Swords to wear on my body."

"I asked someone to make this knife for me in a kiln."

"As soon as you arrived, you wanted to rely on the young master to get promoted, nothing else to say"

"Why should we, who are climbing up step by step, indulge you?"

"Want to enter Lu Manor? Sure."

Swish!
He drew out the long sword from a retainer on one side, threw it into the air, and threw it at Ji Xiu, then stepped back a few steps to the right, creating some distance.
Hooked his finger:
"Come,"

"Raise the knife and defeat me."

"I kneel before you and beg you to come to Lu Manor. From now on, I will hold the whip and stirrup for you, and I will serve you when you go in and out of the carriage!"

"When the time comes, none of the brothers who see this scene will be dissatisfied."

"only"

"The sword has no eyes."

"I am not responsible for any accidents that occur."

The sharp blade slashed open.

Hong Jiang held the knife in one arm, and took a stance, as if waiting for the king's will to decide whether to move forward or not.

Ji Xiu caught the knife handle that was thrown to him, pursed his lips and thought.

However, Lu Yu, who was standing on the side, saw this and suddenly pulled him back, saying in a low voice:
"Come on, I'll find you another job!"

Veins popped out on his forehead. “Don’t underestimate this man because he hasn’t mastered the art of handling blood. He is just a martial artist with a low level of strength. But having seen blood and not having seen blood are two different concepts.”

"Don't get injured and ruin your future martial arts just for the sake of a momentary impulse. With me here, no one can touch you!"

Lu Yu gritted his teeth, clenched his other hand into a fist that made a creaking sound, and stared at Luo Xiao intently, but there was nothing he could do to him.

Takeo
After all, it all comes down to strength.

Just like what Hong Jiang said.

He is not convinced by those who use the backdoor!
This has nothing to do with the competition between the legitimate son and the successor.

It's just pure.
The people below are not convinced!

This is something that even the owner of the manor tacitly approves.

The old man did not refuse him.

But as long as you are caught
Some people will refuse.

So, he.
No way!

Just when Lu Yu wanted to pull Ji Xiu away.

suddenly!

Ji Xiu struggled slightly and grasped the long sword.

Then he took a step forward without saying a word!
Suddenly, Lu Yu's eyes widened and his words got stuck in his throat.

He never expected that Ji Xiu would not listen to him, and just as he was about to reach out to grab it.
But being a beat late could be fatal at a distance of ten steps.

"No!"

Luzhuang, inside the hall.

I heard some noise outside the yard.

Lu Hongyu was wearing a slim outfit, with a graceful figure. She bent her waist slightly and made a cup of tea for the middle-aged man in front of her, who was wearing a black and gold suit and had gray hair.
"Old man, Xiaoyu is your biological son."

"No matter how great Luo Xiao is, he is just an outsider."

"You asked your subordinates to disrespect Xiaoyu like this."

She frowned, shook her ponytail, slammed the tea, expressed her dissatisfaction, crossed her arms and snorted coldly:
"How can you expect him to be in charge of Lu Manor in the future?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at the tea that splashed onto his collar, then glanced at Lu Hongyu who was holding her chest, and smiled bitterly:
"Girl, I originally wanted to take Xiao Luo as my son-in-law, but you just looked down on him."

"He is also hardworking. He has been with me for so many years and has worked diligently. If you follow him, he will be a member of our Lu family and we don't have to divide the family property."

Lu Hongyu snorted, raised her chin slightly, and said arrogantly:
"He uses chicken feathers as a token of authority every day to teach my brother a lesson. Why should I respect him?"

"Plus, he's a big, strong man, and his face hasn't changed expression in half a year."

"I'm not necessarily any worse than him, so why should I follow him?"

"I'm looking for a husband."

"First of all, I have to find someone younger and more handsome. Otherwise, I'll get tired of looking at that stinky face all day long."

"Secondly, you must have good martial arts skills. You can't be a blockhead. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with me."

"What satisfied Luo Xiao?"

Lu Chengfeng, who was about to take a sip from the celadon cup, nearly choked on the tea:

"you you."

His fingers were trembling.

If the one in front of me wasn’t my own child.

He almost burst into curses. People like you who meet the requirements are all young masters in the mansion. How could he endure such an injustice and become your son-in-law?
"Never mind, never mind, whatever you want, whatever you want."

Looking at his daughter who has already entered the Bone Tempering stage and will hopefully inherit his legacy in the future, Lu Chengfeng feels complicated, feeling both happy and helpless.

Finally, there was no other choice but to stand up and put my hands behind my back:

"I just asked Luo Xiao to teach Xiao Yu a lesson. If jade is not polished, it will become useless."

"He is so willful and reckless that he just inserted someone into the situation. Which of the retainers below can tolerate this?"

"As a manor owner, you have to be fair and impartial, at least you can't give people anything to talk about you."

"Otherwise, how can we give him the seat?"

"Come on, follow me out to take a look."

Lu Hongyu supported Lu Chengfeng and walked out.

It doesn't take a moment.

Then I saw the archway facing inward, under the stone altar.

There was a young man in plain clothes, holding a sword and leaping ten steps, his eyes were fierce, as if he had no distractions or thoughts.
Then, he chopped straight at the figure holding a knife flying towards him from the other side!

There is a strong desire to burn all bridges and destroy everything!

"Wait, this is"

In an instant, Lu Chengfeng's originally gentle eyes suddenly became fierce.

Then, the palm under the wide sleeves of the robe grabbed a petal from the flower bed on one side like an eagle's claw, attached a layer of "air" to it, and then flicked it!
Now!

He took those ten steps forward, intending to fight a life-and-death battle with the guest of Lu Zhuang at the other end with an extremely ferocious and lightning-fast sword technique, and brazenly struck down the young man's sword!
Picking leaves and flying flowers, at the moment when the two knives 'intersected', strike down at the same time.

clang!
clang!
The two swords fell to the ground.

Then Lu Chengfeng gathered his strength, moved his feet quickly, stepped over the bluestone, watched the two men retreat, and covered their cracked knuckles.

He remained silent at first.

Then he looked at it carefully for a moment.

Finally, he stared at the young man in plain clothes for a long time.

After a long while, his tone was slightly condensed:
"Your age"

"You have actually entered the 'Sword Gate'!?"
