Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

With just one finger, Duan Yanqing integrated the Duan family swordsmanship and One Yang Finger, and even used the power of heaven and earth to perform a unique skill. Song Xuan lightly pressed it on the tip of the crutch.

puff!

As if the sound of bubbles being popped was heard, all the shadows of thunder manifested by Duan Yanqing's unique skills suddenly dissipated. At the same time, cracks began to appear at the tip of the crutch where Song Xuan's fingertips were pointing.

The cracks spread out like a spider web the moment they appeared, reaching the handle in the blink of an eye. Terrified, Duan Yanqing hastily threw the iron staff away.

The iron rod was thrown into the air and shattered with a bang before it hit the ground, turning into iron chips all over the sky, which fell with the wind and snow.

Duan Yanqing was stunned. His full-strength attack was easily broken. At this moment, he was knocked to the ground by the recoil force, staring at Song Xuan.

"You, who on earth are you!"

He couldn't accept the fact before him!

Ever since he became a martial arts master and mastered the Duan Family Sword and One Yang Finger, he has rarely been defeated in all these years of roaming the martial arts world.

Even if there was a master-level expert who could defeat him with one or two moves, that would be all. It was the first time he encountered a situation like today where he was easily crushed by just one finger.

The gap was so huge that he couldn't even think of running away.

Song Xuan didn't answer him, but looked at him coldly, "Although Dali submitted to the Great Zhou in the past, it also retained the title of king. As the prince of Dali, you are also of noble status.

Now that I have been reduced to a worthless person, as lowly as an ant, I wonder how I feel inside?

As the former crown prince of Dali, Duan Yanqing possessed a certain pride. His scars being exposed, he angrily declared, "Your Excellency's martial arts skills are truly extraordinary. I accept defeat at your hands. You may kill me or chop me up as you please. These are just some past events, so why bother elaborating?"

Song Xuan chuckled twice and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "What are you four evil men doing here?"

Duan Yanqing had lost all his fighting spirit at this moment. He just wanted to die quickly. He said, "If I tell you, can you give me a quick death?"

He saw clearly how his new younger brother Yun Zhongxian died. He was not afraid of death, but he found it hard to accept that he was beaten to pieces by a snowball.

He is a martial arts master, and a master must die in a master's way.

He could die in a duel between masters, or be surrounded by the Xuanyiwei army, but he must not die while two little girls are playing snowballs.

"That depends on your performance. Although you have a reputation for being a heinous criminal, compared to your three subordinates, your reputation as a villain is somewhat undeserved.

If you behave well, you might be able to die with dignity."

Duan Yanqing stared at Song Xuan from head to toe, pondered for a moment, and without further bargaining, stated his purpose directly.

"It's said that there's a grandmaster showdown in Henan Prefecture. Word of this has spread throughout the martial arts world, and many martial artists have come from all over to inquire about the news."

"I brought my men with me to investigate the situation. I didn't expect that just because we were staying overnight in Qinghe County on our way, our men would offend a master like you."

As he was speaking, Duan Yanqing paused, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Song Qian, Yao Yue and the others with some uncertainty, and his gaze finally fell on Song Xuan.

"Master, could it be that you are not, could it be that you are not..."

His voice was trembling. He had never met a grandmaster in his life and instinctively thought that grandmasters were all old masters, so he didn't think about it that way.

But at this moment, after the limitations of his thinking were broken, he suddenly felt that everything made sense.

"Yes, you are the Grandmaster who fought against the Shaolin monks!"

"No wonder, no wonder the skills I've practiced my entire life can't defeat a single finger of yours. No wonder I can't even think of escaping from your hands!"

"Grandmaster... Hahaha, I never thought that I, Duan Yanqing, who has committed so many evil things in my life, would die at the hands of a Grandmaster!"

"To be able to end my life like this, it's worth it! It's worth it!"

Song Xuan got the answer, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore. He said immediately: "Write down the Dali Duan family's One Yang Finger, and then you can be on your way!"

Duan Yanqing was stunned. "Although the Dali Duan family's One Yang Finger is a renowned martial art, as a Grand Master, you shouldn't be so impressed, right?"

"I may not like it, but that doesn't mean others don't like it either. It's not impossible to keep it as a reward for others! Why, you can't bear to give it away?"

Duan Yanqing shook his head. "I've been wandering around all my life, living a life neither human nor ghost, and my heart is tormented all the time. What does the Dali Duan family's unique skills have to do with me?

Anyway, the Dali Duan family and the throne have nothing to do with me anymore!"

Song Xuan smiled slightly, "In fact, the throne of the Duan family is still somewhat related to you!"

"Ah?" Duan Yanqing was stunned. He looked at his crippled body, his eyes suddenly burning with passion. "Senior, are you planning to put me on the throne?"

Chapter 393 Okay, you can go!

"Help you take the position?"

Song Xuan was somewhat surprised by Duan Yanqing's train of thought. "You old fellow may not look good, but you have beautiful thoughts."

However, it can also be seen from here how deeply Duan Yanqing is obsessed with the throne of the Duan family of Dali.

Duan Yanqing didn't feel embarrassed at all when being mocked by a great master. Instead, he laughed heartily. "I do have some wild ideas. I'm a dying man. What qualifications do I have to deserve your support, Senior?"

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. It's just a pity that after all this hard work in the second half of my life, I ended up with nothing but a reputation as a villain.

If I fail to regain the throne for my lineage, I will be ashamed to face my ancestors after I die!"

"That's not the case."

Song Xuan looked at Duan Yanqing with a smile, "Back then, you fell from the lofty position of Crown Prince to the dusty ground, your body crippled and your spirit tormented. But in the end, you had an epiphany, and your path to martial arts has been smooth sailing ever since, reaching the realm of Grandmaster, a status that all martial artists long for."

Song Xuan paused, and in Duan Yanqing's flickering eyes, he continued, "Did you encounter something strange outside the Tianlong Temple?"

When he said this, Victoria Song and others who were watching the show suddenly became interested.

It is a great adventure that can make people rise again from the desperate situation of being as humble as dust. I just don’t know if it can be replicated?

Duan Yanqing was silent. "Senior, what exactly do you want to say?"

Song Xuan chanted, "Outside the Tianlong Temple, beneath the Bodhi tree, the monk is slovenly, and Guanyin has long hair."

Duan Yanqing suddenly opened his eyes wide, his head buzzing.

"You, how do you know?"

It has been almost twenty years since that day.

That day he was seriously injured, his whole body was smelling terrible and the wounds were even festering. He wanted to go to Tianlong Temple to find Master Kurong to seek justice, but he collapsed outside the Tianlong Temple after being exhausted.

Just when he was despairing and ready to die, a long-haired Guanyin came to him.

She did not despise her broken and dirty body. Not only did she heal her wounds to save her own life, she even used her hot and warm body to soothe his heart that was hurt by the world.

From that day on, he began to work hard as if he had attained enlightenment, but unfortunately, he never saw the long-haired Guanyin again over the years.

"Not only do I know this, I also know that the long-haired Guanyin you've been thinking about has given birth to a son for you!"

Speaking of his son, Song Xuan looked at Duan Yanqing with some admiration, "I have to say, you are really amazing. Even in that situation, you were able to hit the target with one move and put a green hat on Duan Zhengchun."

Duan Yanqing was stunned at first, and then his eyes gradually brightened.

"Senior, are you saying...you mean, that woman is Duan Zhengchun's wife, Dao Baifeng?"

Song Xuan nodded.

Duan Yanqing's smile began to rise, "So, so Duan Zhengchun's son Duan Yu, he is..."

Song Xuan laughed and said, "That's right, he is your child!"

Song Xuan also said with some emotion: "I have to say, the cycle of cause and effect is really amazing. What you lost has come in a circle and will eventually fall into the hands of your son.

The throne you have always dreamed of, the one you have worked so hard for half your life, will return to your family in such a dramatic way.

Isn’t it interesting?

Duan Yanqing sat on the ground, stunned for a moment. He had always been extremely arrogant, but at this moment he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Song Xuan three times.

Afterwards, he began to write the formula of One Finger Yang on the ground.

After a moment, he struggled to stand up and bowed to Song Xuan.

“Thank you for telling me this, Senior. Knowing all this before I die, I will be at peace even if I die.

Going down there will be an explanation to our ancestors!"

Song Xuan nodded, "Then you can go on your way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his finger and Duan Yanqing's eyebrows were pierced. He fell straight to the ground with a calm and peaceful expression, and died without a trace of pain.

Song Qian took a step forward and looked at Duan Yanqing's body, "Brother, are you really going to kill him?"

"if not?"

Victoria Song asked with some confusion: "I saw you talked to him so much, I thought you were going to trick him into doing something for you, but you talked for so long just to help him untie his knot and then send him on his way?"

Song Xuan laughed and said, "If it were me two years ago, I would have tricked such a veteran Grandmaster into becoming my thug. But now, I'm no longer the same person I used to be. As a commander who is second only to the emperor and above millions of people, I have no shortage of subordinates of this strength!"

"Then why did you say so much to him? They're all from the Four Evils, but your attitude towards him is different from the others!"

"His situation is different from those others!"

Song Xuan pointed at Ye Erniang and Yun Zhongxian, whose head was all that remained, and said, "These two were pure villains, scum of society. I'm not happy that they died so easily."

As he spoke, he pointed at the headless body of Yue Lao San, the South Sea Crocodile God. "Well, he enjoys killing people, so he's not a good person either. But compared to people like Ye Erniang, he still has some humanity, so I killed him quickly."

"As for Duan Yanqing, he's not really a villain. He spent the first half of his life being a man of literary talent and exceptional martial arts talent. As the crown prince of Dali, even after falling from grace, he still possessed a deep sense of pride and disdained to bully ordinary people.

But unfortunately, in order to seek revenge and regain the throne, many of his methods were too extreme.

Although he disdains to bully the common people, he condones and protects evildoers like Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe. If he doesn't die, who can the babies who died at the hands of Ye Erniang, and the women who were raped and killed by Yun Zhonghe, turn to for redress for their grievances?

Victoria Song blinked, "Do your job, brother. You are becoming more and more like a commander."

Yao Yue smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with whether or not I'm a commander. In the future, my husband and I will have children. As parents, no one wants their children to run into scum like the Four Evils when they're out and about!"

Song Qian's eyes wandered over Yao Yue's lower abdomen, and then she curled her lips, "Then you have to work hard. I heard that the higher your cultivation level, the harder it is to have children. While you are not yet a Grandmaster, you have to work hard!"

As she said that, she pinched Lianxing's cheek mischievously, "If it really doesn't work, you can ask Lianxing to help push it for my brother!"

Yao Yue rolled her eyes and ignored her sister-in-law who was speaking so rudely. As for her sister who had already blushed with embarrassment, she didn't even look at her.

With a flip of his hand, a token specially made for the Xuanyi Guard appeared in his hand. He then waved it towards the uneasy Xuanyi Guard general flag not far away. "After listening to this story for so long, have you figured out what's going on?"

The general flag looked at the token for a few seconds, then knelt on one knee, clasped his fists towards Song Xuan and said, "I, the general flag of the Xuanyi Guard, Lu Jianxing, pay my respects to the commander!"

Chapter 394 I can be a waste, but my family can’t!

"Lu Jianxing?"

Song Xuan looked at the man in his thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes, nodded and said, "You are very good!"

Lu Jianxing didn't know what was so good about it, but if the commander said it was good, then it must be good. He was not good at speaking, so he immediately said, "I swear to be loyal to you until I die!"

"Get up!"

Song Xuan pointed at the corpse on the ground and Ye Erniang, who was still lying there in a daze. "Clean up this place and bring the four evildoers to justice. Your achievements will be enough for you to be promoted to a centurion."

Lu Jianxing hurriedly said, "This is your Excellency's achievement. How dare I take credit for it?"

"What credit do I need?" Song Xuan smiled nonchalantly. "I just said I'm going to give you a credit. If I say it's yours, then it's yours!"

"Take the bodies of Ye Erniang and the others to Sichuan and Yu Prefecture and find Qian Hu Dong Tianbao. He will help you get your Bai Hu title."

Lu Jianxing suddenly realized that the four evil men had made such great contributions that a small general like him could not take all of them. Judging from the adults' intentions, they wanted to make use of Captain Dong!

At this moment, Ye Erniang, who had been silent all the time and seemed to be frightened by Duan Yanqing's death, suddenly spoke.

"Senior, you are a master. Since you know Duan Yanqing's secret, do you also know mine?"

"Senior, please be merciful and tell me if my child is still alive, where he is now, and how he is doing?"

Song Xuan glanced at him coldly, "I actually know this! But you don't deserve to know!"

"Why? Why am I not worthy? Duan Yanqing is the leader of the four evil men, and the senior even fulfilled his wish before sending him on his way. Why am I not worthy?"

"Because it's fair!" Victoria casually threw a snowball, piercing her left arm. "Isn't this what you wanted? Fair!"

Lu Jianxing was very perceptive. He took off his shoes and stuffed his smelly socks into Ye Erniang's mouth, which made the screaming old woman finally shut up.

He could see that the commander was extremely disgusted with this woman.

It's understandable. After all, according to what the commander's wife said just now, the two of them should be planning to have a child. How can they not hate such a vicious woman who likes to snatch, play with, abuse and kill other people's children?

It seems that once we arrive in Sichuan and Chongqing Prefecture and meet Captain Dong, it will be necessary to convey the commander's intentions.

Before being executed by slicing, Ye Erniang must go through all kinds of punishments in the imperial prison!

"You guys handle the follow-up matters yourselves!"

Song Xuan gave Lu Jianxing an order, then turned to look at the already confused Wu Dalang and said, "Come with me!"
