Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 483: Killing the Genius in the Cradle

far away.

On the top of the hill.

When the barbarians heard Jiang Duanchao mention the word "martial spirit", their hearts suddenly jumped and their faces were full of shock and confusion.

Military intention?

Does this mysterious thing really exist in the world?
Everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to Gu Jinfu.

In the eyes of all these men, among those present, Gu Jinfu has the most respected status, the most powerful martial arts skills, and the most abundant secrets and intelligence about the martial arts world. He is undoubtedly the one with the most say.

Gu Jinfu's face was slightly gloomy, like the sky before a storm. He spoke slowly, his voice low and solemn:
"Martial intention, of course there is."

"Our boss is a top master who has condensed his martial spirit for more than ten years."

"But martial spirit is something very mysterious and generally has no direct correlation with the level of a martial artist."

"Some people cultivate their entire lives, achieving a high level, but are unable to gather their martial spirit until their death; while some others, although not at the highest level, are able to gather their martial spirit through chance."

"Generally speaking, martial spirit is related to age. Those who can condense martial spirit in their sixties are already outstanding."

"Jiang Duanchao of the Purple Cloud Sword Sect had planned to retire from the martial arts world two years ago and enjoy his retirement, but after condensing his martial spirit, his ambition was rekindled, and he decided to serve the imperial court."

"From this we can see that martial spirit has a great influence on people's fighting spirit and mentality."

"However, while martial spirit can significantly enhance a warrior's strength, it is by no means the only key to defeating the enemy."

"In a duel between warriors, life and death are determined by many factors. Victory is not guaranteed simply by possessing martial spirit, so there's no need to deliberately pursue martial spirit."

When the martial artists listened to Gu Jinfu's words, it was as if they had opened a door to the mysterious world of martial arts. They felt their eyes had been opened and their hearts were filled with amazement and curiosity.

Cao Xian standing aside remained silent, like a stone sculpture.

He had been working in the detective agency for decades, so he naturally knew that Wu Yi was indeed a real person.

At the same time, he also keenly heard that there was something behind Gu Jinfu's words, and some key information was not stated directly.

First of all, Gu Jinfu avoided talking about whether he has martial arts intentions. It is highly likely that he does not. Gu Jinfu is not the kind of person who can face his own shortcomings calmly.

Secondly, although Gu Jinfu admitted that Jiang Duanchao possessed martial spirit, he did not mention it to the Great Sage Master. It was obvious that he did not believe in his heart that the young Great Sage Master could condense martial spirit.

Cao Xian also deeply agreed with this.

Because, that great and virtuous teacher looked only about twenty years old. How could he, so young, possibly gather the martial spirit?
Even after searching through all the records of the police station, there is no precedent for someone at such a young age to have developed a martial spirit.

Just as Gu Jinfu said, to be able to condense martial spirit at the age of sixty is already outstanding. Even those geniuses who appear once in a century cannot condense martial spirit until they are at least fifty years old.

Jiang Duanchao actually said that the Great Sage Master had condensed the martial spirit. Whether this was true or not is really doubtful.

But the next moment, Cao Xian's heart suddenly moved, and a bold idea flashed through his mind:

"Could it be... true?!"

He couldn't help but recall the thrilling battle outside Qingzhou City that day.

Red flames filled the sky. The Great Sage Master defeated five fourth-grade warriors of the same realm with just his sword, and shocked Qingzhou!

That terrifying fighting power once made Cao Xian unbelievable.

But if the Great and Good Teacher really possessed martial spirit, then everything seemed to make sense.

………………

At this time, the Red Fire Sword Sect’s headquarters.

Liang Jin stared at Jiang Duanchao quietly, his eyes as deep as the abyss.

Those who possess martial intent are often more sensitive to martial intent and can more easily detect the martial intent of other martial artists.

At the beginning, Liang Jin and Wang Jin, the director of the Criminal Investigation Factory, only looked at each other from a distance, and he could clearly feel Wang Jin's terrifying and powerful martial arts intention.

At this moment, he looked at Jiang Duanchao in front of him, and could also sense the sword-like sharp martial spirit in Jiang Duanchao.

However, Jiang Duanchao's martial arts were too shallow and weak, and there was a world of difference compared to Wang Jin.

Even compared with Liang Jin himself, it is far inferior.

Obviously, Jiang Duanchao has only been able to condense his martial spirit for a short time, and has not yet found an effective way to quickly strengthen his martial spirit and improve his martial spirit realm.

Under the magical help of [Nine Sky Boundless], Liang Jin's martial arts ability has reached the late stage of Guanlan Realm. He is like a scorching sun hanging high in the sky, shining brightly.

Jiang Duanchao's martial arts were only at the initial stage of Guanlan Realm, and his foundation was not stable, like a candle in the wind, about to fall.

Jiang Duanchao was also secretly observing Liang Jin.

He could also faintly feel the martial spirit in Liang Jin that was like the dawn light. Although this martial spirit was restrained, it contained endless power, as if it could dispel all the darkness in the world.

This made Jiang Duanchao's excitement burn like a raging fire, and he said excitedly:

"It just so happens that since I condensed my martial spirit, I have never met a master who also possesses martial spirit."

"I never thought I'd be able to meet the Great Sage Master today. This is truly a godsend!"

"We can have a showdown and settle the old feud between our two factions!"

At this point, the sword in Jiang Duanchao's hand suddenly made a crisp and clear sound, buzzing, as if eagerly longing for a hearty battle.

The murderous aura that surged into the sky, like a surging tide, once again spread out in all directions with Jiang Duanchao as the center.

It was as if the area around him had instantly transformed into a sword domain, and any object that stepped into it would be ruthlessly chopped into pieces in an instant.

"Come, Great and Good Master, let me see the exquisiteness of the Red Fire Sword Sect's signature sword technique, the 'Red Fire Burning Heaven Sword Technique'."

"Let me see how strong your sword will is!"

Jiang Duanchao tightly gripped the long sword in his hand, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, he was fully prepared for this battle.

Ye Xianqing, Jiang Lengxue and others were all keenly aware that the war that was about to break out would be extremely terrifying and would definitely have a wide range of impact.

Immediately, Ye Xianqing retreated as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye he was away from Jiang Duanchao, for fear of being caught in this deadly storm.

Jiang Lengxue also hurriedly called out to the sect disciples in a loud voice, his tone anxious.

Everyone hurriedly fled to a distance, fearing that they would be affected by the aftermath of this horrific battle.

Even the jade-faced fire monkey seemed to sense an unprecedented sense of danger. It bared its sharp fangs and let out a series of sharp screams at Jiang Duanchao.

But Liang Jin just smiled indifferently, as if the upcoming war was just a trivial farce.

He had no intention of accepting the challenge. He simply spoke softly, his voice low but clear enough to carry throughout the room:

"Fight me?"

"You are not qualified enough."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

It was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

The most surprised ones were the detectives. They opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.

This great and virtuous teacher is only a fourth-grade warrior. Now he is facing a third-grade warrior, and a strong man who has condensed the martial spirit. He actually thinks that the other person is not qualified?

Is this guy crazy?

Ye Xianqing was furious. His face turned red with anger, like a ripe tomato. He shouted angrily:

“Too arrogant!”

"You are just relying on your monkey. What qualifications do you have to act so arrogant in front of my head?"

Ye Xianqing had obtained intelligence from the detective agency and knew very well that the Great Sage Master was only a fourth-rank warrior. His strength was not even comparable to that of the Jade-faced Fire Monkey.

Jiang Duanchao's powerful momentum, which had just been brewing, was almost shattered instantly by Liang Jin's words.

As the head of the Purple Cloud Sword Sect, he has been active in the northern martial arts world for many years and is very famous. No one has ever dared to speak to him like this.

This made him so angry that his whole body trembled, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly with anger. He gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm not qualified? You're so arrogant!"

"Then I want to ask you, who is qualified?"

Jiang Duanchao held the sword tightly. As long as Liang Jin said one more provocative word, he would draw his sword without hesitation and make Liang Jin pay a heavy price for his arrogance.

Liang Jin stretched out his hand, and pointed his slender fingers at a hill in the distance.

And that hilltop was where Gu Jinfu from the police station and a group of thugs were hiding.

Liang Jin's voice was clear and distinct, reaching everyone's ears:

"That eunuch over there, stop hiding."

"I'm too lazy to finish beating this old man before I go find you for a fight."

"Come over here and join forces with this old man. Let's attack together."

“Saves everyone time.”

Liang Jin's voice seemed to have magic power, penetrating the barriers of space and echoing over the entire battlefield.

Jiang Duanchao naturally knew who the eunuch Liang Jin was talking about. That was Gu Jinfu, the third in command of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and he was indeed at the location Liang Jin pointed to.

It seems that Liang Jin had already discovered Gu Jinfu's hiding place.

"act recklessly!"

Jiang Duanchao made such an evaluation of Liang Jin in his heart.

Gu Jinfu is a top-notch master. If he joins the battle again, looking around the world, there are probably few third-grade warriors who can resist him.

Just relying on Liang Jin, he wants to fight against two masters?
If this isn't courting death, what is?
On the other side, on the hill.

When the guards heard Liang Jin's words, they were immediately enraged and started shouting, "How dare you! How dare you be so rude to the Lord?"

"How dare you! How dare you speak to our Lord like that?"

"You're simply courting death! Do you know who we adults are?"

……

The guards were talking to each other, their emotions as excited as boiling water.

But they obviously forgot that they did not have Liang Jin's magical ability to transmit sound over thousands of miles.

They shouted for a long time, but their voices could not reach Liang Jin's ears at all.

This made Cao Xian feel extremely embarrassed. He hurriedly and secretly signaled the guards to shut up, his eyes full of embarrassment and helplessness.

Sitting on the armchair, Gu Jinfu's smile instantly became stiff and forced, as if covered by a layer of frost.

He squeezed the armrest of the armchair hard, and actually made a clear palm print, which showed that the anger in his heart was burning like a raging fire.

Suddenly.

Gu Jinfu stood up suddenly, his body overflowing with murderous intent, like a demon crawling out of hell, his voice filled with a chilling chill:

"He wants to die miserably. Why doesn't our family help him?"

After saying that, Gu Jinfu moved like a ghost and flew towards the Red Fire Sword Sect’s headquarters.

As Gu Jinfu left without saying anything, the guards at the scene were at a loss for a moment, looking at each other in confusion, like a group of lost lambs.

A clerk couldn't help but ask Cao Xian:
"Master Cao, shall we follow them?"

Cao Xian looked solemn, and after a moment's thought, he replied:

"We've all been discovered. There's no point in hiding here."

"Of course you have to follow, but be careful and don't get too close."

"At the same time, there may be changes on the princess' side. Go over and take a look immediately. If necessary, rescue the princess immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the boss nodded quickly and said:

"I see!"

Immediately, Cao Xian, Dangtou and others began to command this group of militiamen to act quickly.

Gu Jinfu's lightness skills were extremely high, and it only took him more than ten breaths to fly from the top of the mountain to the headquarters of the Red Fire Sword Sect.

When he landed on the ground as light as a feather, he just happened to stand steadily next to Jiang Duanchao.

Jiang Duanchao bowed slightly to Gu Jinfu to show his respect.

Gu Jinfu glared at Liang Jin with a strange smile on his face, and said in a gloomy tone:
"Young people today really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

"Young people need to learn to be modest. Be careful not to speak too arrogantly and get your tongue thrown off the handle."

When he said the last word, Gu Jinfu suddenly snorted coldly, like a thunderclap exploding out of nowhere.

At the same time, his internal force suddenly shook, and a powerful internal force like a surging undercurrent, accompanied by this cold snort, instantly attacked Liang Jin.

Obviously, Gu Jinfu did not want Liang Jin to die easily. He wanted to dampen Liang Jin's fighting spirit with this cold snort, let Liang Jin suffer a little, and get internal injuries.

Jiang Duanchao naturally noticed Gu Jinfu's move. He immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and stared at Liang Jin closely, looking forward to seeing Liang Jin's embarrassed look.

But who would have thought.

Liang Jin suddenly raised his head and laughed heartily. His laughter was bright and confident, as if it could dispel all the haze in the world:
"If you're not crazy, can you still be called a young man?"

As his laughter rang out, the internal force that Gu Jinfu had snorted with cold energy melted away without a trace in an instant, just like ice and snow under the warm spring sun.

Not only that, Liang Jin's internal energy actually surged towards Gu Jinfu in the opposite direction following his laughter.

Although Liang Jin's internal strength may not be as profound as Gu Jinfu's, when it comes to sound skills, Liang Jin is unparalleled in the world and no one can match him.

The skill he mastered in combining sound and inner strength was so exquisite that it was easy for him to deal with Gu Jinfu's crude technique.

"call!"

Liang Jin's laughter and inner strength came in an instant, like a gust of wind.

The smile on Gu Jinfu's face froze instantly, as if it were a frozen picture.

Immediately, he waved his sleeves violently, as if spreading a pair of black wings, and a vast and powerful internal force surged out, trying to resist Liang Jin's attack.

The two internal forces collided violently in the air, like two meteors colliding, and immediately a strong impact erupted.

"Bang!!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, smoke and dust suddenly rose in front of Gu Jinfu. The diffuse dust was like a thick curtain, temporarily obscuring his figure.

Although he was not injured, the smoke and dust didn't even fall on him.

But in this contest of moves, Gu Jinfu was clearly at a disadvantage.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Gu Jinfu looked ferocious, like an enraged beast, staring at Liang Jin and said in a deep voice with gritted teeth:
"Who would have thought that the Great Sage Master of the Taiping Dao was actually a third-rank warrior!"

"You're really good at hiding it! You even managed to hide it from my detective agency."

Even Jiang Duanchao who was standing beside him frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise on his face. It was obvious that he was also very surprised by Liang Jin's true strength.

As soon as Liang Jin made a move, the two of them immediately accurately judged Liang Jin's exact strength.

But this result was far beyond their expectations.

They originally thought that the Great Sage Master was just an ordinary fourth-rank character, a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated.

Now it seems that things may be a little tricky.

But it was just a little troublesome. After all, if the two great masters, Gu Jinfu and Jiang Duanchao, joined forces, they could easily deal with a third-grade warrior.

When Cao Xian heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked, and his heart was like a raging storm:

"The last time I saw him, he was clearly still a fourth-rank. I couldn't have been wrong."

"Why is it that this time, it's the third level?"

Cao Xian was extremely shocked.

Whether it was the last time Liang Jin hid his third-grade realm or his subsequent breakthrough into the third-grade realm, it was enough to shock the world.

But Cao Xian couldn't help but worry. After all, it was he who provided the information about Liang Jin being a fourth-rank official. Now that the information had such a serious error, if it brought trouble to everyone, he would definitely be the first to bear the responsibility!
at the same time.

These words surprised and delighted everyone in the Red Fire Sword Sect, as if they saw a ray of light in the darkness.

They also didn't expect that their leader was actually a third-grade strongman!
The most surprised person was Jiang Lengxue.

She looked at Liang Jin in the distance, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions, shock, admiration, and a hint of indescribable confusion:

"He's actually... already at the third rank?!"

"How...how on earth was this done?"

"Is he really the martial arts prodigy Hongbo described him as?"

Jiang Lengxue's mind was suddenly filled with a myriad of thoughts, like a tangled mess.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall what her late husband Shao Hongbo had said to her.

Shao Hongbo asserted at the time that Liang Jin was extremely talented in martial arts and was a rare martial arts prodigy in the world. This boy had a bright future, and if Jiang Lengxue could marry him, she would have no worries in her life.

Jiang Lengxue once felt that this was too much praise, and could even be called false praise.

But now it seems that what Shao Hongbo said before his death has actually come true!
Once you become a third-grade warrior, you can roam freely in the world and become a respected celebrity in the martial arts world.

This kind of realm is something that countless warriors cannot reach in their entire lives.

Liang Jin is so young, yet he has already achieved such an achievement, which is unheard of.

His future achievements are probably limitless!
Everyone present understood this idea.

Gu Jinfu also stared at Liang Jin closely and sneered:

"Great and virtuous teacher, I have to admit that you are truly a martial arts prodigy that is rarely seen in a century."

"If you are given enough time to grow, I'm afraid you will even be able to become a peerless master of the second level in the future!"

"But it's a pity, you are a beautiful woman, but why do you become a thief? Since you have become a traitor, the police will definitely not tolerate you!"

"We will take your life today, so as not to give you a chance to grow!"

After saying this, Gu Jinfu's internal energy surged throughout his body, like a surging wave, ready to take action.

Jiang Duanchao on the side naturally had the same idea.

If we don't kill this genius today, then once he grows up in the future, I'm afraid no one present will be his match.

Immediately, Jiang Duanchao's sword energy also surged, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of silver sword energy, like a god of war.

He and Gu Jinfu looked at each other, and they understood each other and prepared to join forces to kill Liang Jin!
Liang Jin still looked relaxed, as if he didn't take the impending danger seriously at all.

It seems that the two sides are about to engage in a big battle!
crucial moment!

Suddenly, a clear shout rang out:

"stop!"

"I order you all to stop!"
