Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 274 Senior Du, would you like to have a discussion with me?

On the mountain, Ouyang Xu's body was pierced by several vines.

The vines dragged his body and pulled it in front of the black-robed figure in the lead.

"Ouyang Xu, the son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, you shouldn't have betrayed Dayan and the Heavenly Demon Palace."

The figure with green light in his eyes lifted his hood and spoke coldly.

Ouyang Xu looked up, chuckled, coughed up blood, but did not speak.

"Hmph." The black-robed figure raised his hand and waved, and all the vines were pulled away. Blood spurted out of every hole on Ouyang Xu's body, and his body rolled over and he fainted.

"Send him to the inner hall."

The black-robed figure waved his hand.

"Master Priest, His Majesty means not to keep—"

Someone behind him spoke, but before he could finish his words, the black-robed figure raised his hand, and the black vines in his palm merged with Ouyang Xu's blood, turning into a bloody head.

"When did my Heavenly Demon Palace need to obey Murong Zhao?"

The head held in the palm of the black-robed figure slowly changed, and finally solidified into an appearance identical to Ouyang Xu's.

……

Between mountains and fields.

Smoke rose from the bonfire, surrounded by several simple tents.

Zhang Yuan stood on the flat ground not far away, slowly punching out, with a faint golden light flashing around him.

"With your fighting ability, why would you still want to forge a long sword?" Huang Laoliu, who was standing not far away, smacked his lips. "With your flying sword technique last night, who could stop you?"

"How about I help you refine a flying sword?"

Huang Laoliu has been following Zhang Yuan. With his immortal skills, he can come and go freely.

He saw with his own eyes how Zhang Yuan easily killed all those people from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and he was secretly amazed.

Zhang Yuan was so murderous that he almost regretted agreeing to help Zhang Yuan forge a long sword.

Moreover, seeing that Zhang Yuan had already mastered both boxing and swordsmanship to a high level, Huang Laoliu felt that refining the sword seemed to be of little use.

"My best skill is still with the knife."

"Flying swords are not suitable for leading an army into battle."

Zhang Yuan moved his fists around and spoke in a low voice.

He gained a lot from the big battle last night.

The replenished Qi, blood, true essence, and demonic energy increased his accumulation by more than 10%.

Especially the demonic energy fed back by several masters of the Heavenly Demon Palace made him have half more demonic energy.

If the evil spirit is used properly, it can be of great use.

When it comes to healing, even the spiritual energy of immortals cannot compare to the demonic energy.

Moreover, after the battle last night, his muscles and bones were tempered, and he condensed a few more jade bones.

He slowly withdrew his attack, and the invisible shadow of the war elephant behind him dissipated.

Unconsciously, the energy, blood and true essence in his body had been able to gather the energy of twelve war elephants.

Although the Vajra Grandmaster with the power of 600,000 kilograms of Qi, blood and true essence cannot be said to be unprecedented, it is someone Zhang Yuan himself has never heard of.

He was also very curious about his current combat power.

Zhang Yuan turned around and looked at Han Xiao and Xiao Lou who were walking towards him.

"We plan to split our forces into two groups, one heading towards Gubei City and the other towards Feiying Pass."

Han Xiao looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Zhang, Chief Xiao is going to Gubei City. Would you like to go with him?"

Zhang Yuan's mission was to escort the delegation into Xichang City, not to defend Beicheng City.

Gubei City is about to be besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops from Northern Yan, and the situation is extremely dangerous. There is no reason for Xiao Lou to ask Zhang Yuan to accompany him to Gubei City.

However, Zhang Yuan's combat power was formidable, and if he could accompany him along the way, it would be extremely safe for Xiao Lou.

He was too embarrassed to speak to Zhang Yuan, so Han Xiao spoke at this time.

"The trip to Gubei City is dangerous. If Captain Zhang is in trouble, I will not force him." Xiao Lou bowed to Zhang Yuan and said softly.

Han Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Master Xiao is a Confucian and Taoist official, and he has a beautiful wife and concubines with bright futures. He actually sacrificed his life to go to Gubei City. If I don't go, wouldn't it be a disgrace for a military man?" Zhang Yuan said with a calm face and a light laugh.

Xiao Lou looked at Zhang Yuan, took a deep breath, and then bowed: "Brother Zhang, we will fight to the death for what is right. My life or death is a small matter on this trip, but the life and death of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Qin Army are the most important matter." Zhang Yuan bowed in return, then turned his head and looked not far away.

"That should be Prince Zhao over there, right? And the one accompanying him is Grandmaster Du Chongjiu?"

Xiao Lou and Han Xiao looked up and saw a team of warhorses galloping towards them accompanied by several Qingxuan Guards.

-----------------

Temporary camp.

On the hill, Han Xiao and Xiao Lou stood in front of King Zhao and talked in low voices.

At the foot of the hill, Du Chongjiu stood in front of Zhang Yuan with two swords on his back.

A master of swordsmanship, a strong man on the Grandmasters’ list, he carries the twin swords of Chixiao and Hanguang.

"Huang Laoliu is quite arrogant," Du Chongjiu said calmly, his eyes sweeping over Huang Laoliu, who was carrying a large wooden box not far away with a smile on his face. "It seems that you are very special."

Zhang Yuan's face was calm, his eyes fixed on the two swords behind Du Chongjiu.

"Senior Du, would you like to spar with me?"

Discuss.

Not asking for advice.

Zhang Yuan's words made Du Chongjiu's eyes sparkle.

The fact that he can stand here means that he is here to support the younger generation.

He had heard Zhang Yuan's name many times when he was with King Zhao, especially last night when Ouyang Xu and the others returned. The pillars of light of the falling Xiantian realm in the city were actually the work of Zhang Yuan alone.

Also, Huang Laoliu had accompanied him all the way and refined the Hanguang Sword for him. He knew Huang Laoliu's vision and would not pay attention to anyone who did not have real potential and talent.

Du Chongjiu is interested in Zhang Yuan.

But he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to directly propose a competition.

To challenge a Grandmaster to a duel, does it mean he is incredibly strong, or is it youthful arrogance and ignorance?
"Okay." Du Chongjiu shouted softly, and his body was instantly two feet in front of Zhang Yuan, with his hands grasping the hilts of the two swords behind him.

"Canglang——"

Two swords were unsheathed, one red, one green, the sword lights were one blazing and one cold.

The red sword is three feet long, the green sword is two feet long, the short sword is held upside down in the left hand, and the long sword in the right hand is pointed forward.

The two swords join forces, and ice and fire rise straight to the ninth heaven.

The space within a radius of three meters was completely covered and sealed by the power of fire and ice!

This is the master of swordsmanship, the power of two swords!

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

His first move showed the strength of a grandmaster, which showed Du Chongjiu's extraordinary strength and was also a test for him.

Without the power of the grandmaster, Zhang Yuan would not be able to withstand a single blow.

The red sword came in front of him. Zhang Yuan pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand and held the sword with his right hand. The moment the long sword was unsheathed, he had already crossed paths with Du Chongjiu.

"when--"

Zhang Yuan drew his sword and the blade passed by Du Chongjiu's short sword held upside down in his left hand.

The two men turned around at the same time. Du Chongjiu twisted his right sword and stabbed it backwards. The sword tip rose like a flame, and golden and red light danced.

Zhang Yuan bent his waist and slashed horizontally, the blade shining brightly, revealing layers of light and shadow like ripples.

Two feet apart, the blades of swords collided with each other.

"Om-"

A space of ten feet expanded and exploded.

"Grandmaster realm."

Du Chongjiu pressed and retracted his two swords, looking at Zhang Yuan with a gleam in his eyes.

"You are the first person I have ever seen who has such fighting power and martial arts skills at this age."

Before Du Chongjiu finished speaking, his two swords crossed and rushed towards Zhang Yuan like ice and fire dragons and snakes, strangling him directly.

Zhang Yuan pointed his blade forward and took a step forward, and war elephants appeared behind him.

He fought with several Grandmasters, and the sword master in front of him had the strongest combat power!
"Om-"

Mountains take shape on the long sword!
"Mountain Sect."

"The sword technique is perfect!"

Du Chongjiu's eyes were full of spirit, his two swords were like dragons and snakes, and collided with Zhang Yuan's sword on the mountain!
