Chapter 311: The Battle between Tianjiao and Wusheng
Canglan County!
It’s especially lively.
In addition to the warriors from Nanjiang Prefecture who flocked in, warriors from Anzhou, Huizhou, Jinzhou, and even other prefectures also continued to pour in.
In the past three years, the Dahan Trading Company has built the outer city of Canglan County, and dozens of inns under its umbrella are now full of guests.
The inns and restaurants under the Dahan Trading Company, according to the policy set by Lin Ye, operate at two extremes, one is the top-level and most luxurious, and the other is the cheapest and most affordable.
For some elite disciples of martial arts sects, they have the money to stay in the best inns, but there are also some people who have just joined the martial arts sect for fun. These people don’t mind the quality of the accommodation, as long as they have a place to stay.
Due to the influx of a large number of warriors, the public security in Canglan County has become very serious recently.
The knight breaks the law by force.
There are so many warriors gathered together, and everyone is full of vigor and vitality, so some conflicts are normal.
"Captain Yang, there's another fight in West City."
"What's the fight about?"
"It was two young warriors, one supported the Snow Swordsman, and the other supported the Martial Saint of the Heavenly Sword Sect. They started fighting while talking in a teahouse, and now the teahouse owner has come to report it to the police."
"Tell the teahouse owner to let them beat him up, and ask these two to pay for the damage. If they don't pay, they won't be able to leave the city."
Detective Yang was very calm. On the first day, there were more than a dozen fights in the city and he was very busy. But after the second, third, and fourth days, he had gotten used to it.
Fight, fight, as long as ordinary people are not hurt, these warriors can fight however they like. Warriors are not under the jurisdiction of the government.
"Oh yeah, who started it first?"
"The young man who supported the Snow Swordsman made the first move."
Captain Yang stroked his beard and said after a pause, "It must be that the other young man was provocative first. Remember to tell the boss to ask the young man who supports Tianjian Sect to pay more compensation. The other one was defending helplessly so he should pay less."
The constable listened to his leader's words and his mouth twitched. Were the words too harsh?
What he found out was that the young man who supported Tianjianmen only told his companion that the Martial Saint of Tianjianmen would win, and as a result, the other man picked up a stool and swung it over.
It can't be considered defense anyway.
"Just go if I tell you to. Why are you standing here like a wooden stake?"
After being glared at by his boss, the young constable had to leave in disappointment. But who cares? Since the boss gave the order, he just had to do it.
"I can't control anything else. I, Old Yang, can only support Snow Swordsman in this way."
This Captain Yang was the former Captain of Shangyang City. With Lin Ye's arrival in Canglan County, Captain Yang's position gradually rose from the former Captain of Shangyang City to the Chief Captain of Canglan County.
"What Tianjian Sect? My side is Young Master Lin. Snow Swordsman lives next door to Young Master Lin's residence, so he must be a friend of Young Master Lin. So naturally, I, Old Yang, will stand on the side of Snow Swordsman."
Captain Yang has his own understanding. He is able to become the chief captain of Canglan County because of Master Lin. The relationship between Master Lin and Prime Minister An is now known to the world.
In Shangyang City, the fact that Master Lin and himself are brothers is known to all the citizens in the city. The newly appointed county governor also knows this, which is why he promoted himself to the position of chief constable.
People should be grateful and repay favors, and what's more, Master Lin was really good to Old Yang. Old Yang was just a small constable. Master Lin was a very important figure to him, no matter he was the young master of Dahan Trading Company or the savior of Prime Minister An.
Such a big shot could gain nothing from him, but he treated him as an equal and came to give Xu Bo some gifts during festivals.
People really treat him as a friend, so naturally he has to return the favor. However, there is so little he can do for Master Lin that he can only do such a small thing.
…
…
"Brother Ye Ming, who do you think will win in this battle between the Martial Saint of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Snow Swordsman?"
There were several young men and women sitting in the elegant seats on the fifth floor of Kelaiju, the best restaurant in Canglan County.
"I don't know. The Snow Swordsman killed three Half-Step Martial Saints in one day. Maybe he has also entered the realm of Martial Saint. And the one from the Sky Sword Sect entered the realm of Martial Saint thirty years ago. For a Martial Saint, thirty years is nothing."
"Brother Ye Ming, I don't agree with what you said. Snow Swordsman has not become a Martial Saint. If he had entered the realm of Martial Saint, there would definitely be strange phenomena, but Snow Swordsman didn't. As for killing three half-step Martial Saints, it would be an easy task for any Martial Saint. All of you masters have Martial Saints. There is no need to explain the gap between a half-step Martial Saint and a Martial Saint."
The other man in black did not agree with the previous man's opinion, and if his words were to be spread at this moment, it would definitely cause an uproar.
It’s not the black-clothed man’s analysis, but the words in his words, that there are powerful martial saints in the sect.
Generally speaking, there is only one Martial Saint in a state. A few states with prosperous martial arts may have two or three Martial Saints. It is obvious that the seven men and women in front of them are not from the same school, otherwise they would be called brothers.
Behind each of the seven people there are powerful martial saints. It is obvious that these seven people’s masters come from different states, and they are all top sects in each state.
"To be honest, a war of this magnitude is still a long way off for us. However, I heard that quite a few people from the Tianjiao Ranking have come this time. Aren't you interested?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other six people at the scene had different expressions. They were all on the Tianjiao List, and what they were most concerned about was naturally the Tianjiao List.
The Tianjiao List is a list of warriors under the age of 30. This list was not created by a martial arts sect, but was issued by the Tianji Pavilion, a Taoist sect.
The Tianji Pavilion issued two lists of geniuses, one for spiritual practice and one for martial arts.
Those who practice cultivation are selected to be under fifty years old, while those who practice martial arts are selected to be under thirty years old.
The Martial Arts Prodigy List selects 30 people, with the lowest being middle-level Jingzhe. This shows how valuable this list is.
"Humph, the Tianji Pavilion is not necessarily accurate. In recent years, there have been several people from Nanjiang Prefecture on the list. Just because Nanjiang Prefecture has been relatively active in recent years, those people on the list are not as strong as those who are not on the list."
The man who spoke snorted coldly, and the other six people understood why he had complaints about the list of geniuses issued by the Tianji Pavilion.
This person is ranked 22nd on the Tianjiao list, and his younger brother had already made his mark among the younger generation a few years ago. He even defeated the original 30th place on the Tianjiao list last year. Logically, he should have been on the list.
Once they are on the list, it means that both brothers are on the list, which is also a beautiful story in the martial arts world. You should know that the last time brothers were on the list together was one hundred and thirty years ago.
However, when Tianji Pavilion announced a new list of geniuses, two young warriors from Nanjiang Prefecture were newly included on the list, but the younger brother who had spoken these words was not included.
The six people didn't know how to respond to this, but one of them looked down at the street, with , and said: "That person seems to be the genius of Nanjiangzhou, Brother Qi, how about..."
The man called Brother Qi was the one who had complained earlier. When he heard this, he looked out the window toward the street below. Down the street, a young man was leading a few people towards the restaurant.
Perhaps he felt someone was watching him, so the young man looked up, and his gaze met that of the man. When their eyes met, Qi Yuzhang sneered and looked away.
"Brother Su, what's wrong?"
At the entrance of the restaurant, Su Xuan stopped, which made the young men following behind him look at him curiously.
"nothing."
Su Xuan did not explain to his companions. In fact, after looking at the man upstairs just now, he could roughly guess the other person's identity .
People on the list of geniuses.
Only those on the Tianjiao List can have the look that matches his momentum.
However, just as Su Xuan was about to enter the restaurant, a disdainful voice suddenly came from behind him: "Are you Su Xuan, who is ranked 23rd on the Tianjiao List?"
Su Xuan turned around and saw a group of people walking in front of the street, led by a young man. The group of people walked on the street with cold faces, making passers-by around them involuntarily avoid them.
"Oh, there's something exciting going on. The people from the Tianjian Sect are here, and Huang Lei is leading the team."
In the restaurant, Ye Ming saw the group of people appearing on the street, and an expression of watching the fun appeared on his face. The other six people also turned their eyes to the street.
"Huang Lei is the nineteenth on the Tianjiao list. The half-step martial saint who was killed in Tianjian Sect was Huang Lei's master. I'm afraid Huang Lei will vent his anger on the warriors in Nanjiangzhou. It's bad luck for Su Xuan to meet Huang Lei."
Qi Yuzhang showed a gloating expression. Su Xuan squeezed out his brother's chance to be on the Tianjiao list. Naturally, he had no good feelings towards Su Xuan. Now that Huang Lei called Su Xuan, he must be going to cause trouble for Su Xuan. He was happy to watch this good show.
"What's the matter?"
Although Su Xuan had never seen Huang Lei, he still knew the sect uniforms of Tianjian Sect. The other party was from Tianjian Sect, and the only one in Tianjian Sect who dared to stop him was Huang Lei.
"I heard that you were on the Tianjiao list this year. I am somewhat skeptical of Tianji Pavilion's vision and want to verify it."
Huang Lei looked at Su Xuan. The meaning of his words was very clear. He was going to challenge Huang Lei.
"What kind of challenge? Huang Lei is already on the Tianjiao Ranking, and his ranking is even higher than Su Xuan. He is just looking for an excuse to teach Su Xuan a lesson."
"Teach Su Xuan a lesson. Do they have a grudge against each other?"
On the street, warriors kept coming like cats that smelled blood, and they were also talking in low voices.
"The half-step martial saint of Tianjian Sect was killed, and the Grand Elder challenged the Snow Swordsman to a duel. Tianjian Sect definitely has no good feelings towards Nanjiangzhou warriors, because Su Xuan is a Nanjiangzhou warrior."
"Is that so? Then Su Xuan is really unlucky."
"That's right. Even the Snow Swordsman cannot interfere in this kind of fight between juniors. Otherwise, it will be an all-out war between the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Snow Swordsman, and the warriors from Nanjiangzhou."
"Alas, the warriors of Nanjiangzhou may have a hard time in the future. This is just the Tianjian Sect, don't forget about Jinzhou and Huizhou."
The martial saints of the two sects in Jinzhou and Huizhou are still in seclusion, otherwise they would definitely take revenge. Once the Snow Swordsman is defeated by the martial saint of the Tianjian Sect, I am afraid the two sects will attack Nanjiangzhou again without the martial saints coming out of seclusion.
In the middle of the crowd, Su Xuan looked at Huang Lei with a calm expression: "Since you want to verify it, then come and verify it."
"Oh, this guy is still very arrogant. I don't know if he really has the confidence."
"Whether you have the confidence or not will be revealed in a moment. It's useless to just talk."
Qi Yuzhang sneered. He didn't think Su Xuan was Huang Lei's opponent. Huang Lei had been on the Tianjiao list for three years, while Su Xuan had only been on it for half a year.
On the street, the crowd instinctively made way to give the two space to fight each other.
Huang Lei glanced above the restaurant not far away, and he also saw Qi Yuzhang and others. This gave him the idea of defeating Su Xuan quickly to prevent those old acquaintances from watching the fun.
call out!
Huang Lei drew the long sword from his waist, and disappeared on the spot like a shadow.
The moment Huang Lei drew his sword, Su Xuan moved his body, did not retreat, but directly punched out.
Both of them have the same idea, to defeat their opponent as quickly as possible.
Bang!
The two figures collided with each other and then separated, but then collided with each other again, separating and combining at such a fast speed that the onlookers could not see clearly who had the upper hand.
At the restaurant, Qi Yuzhang and the others no longer had their previous expressions of watching the fun, especially Qi Yuzhang. With their eyesight, they could naturally see that Huang Lei was fighting with all his strength, but Su Xuan was able to fight Huang Lei on equal terms and was not at a disadvantage at all. This meant that Su Xuan's true strength was even higher than his ranking.
"It's worthy of being the Tianji Pavilion!" A woman exclaimed. As soon as she said this, Qi Yuzhang's face turned slightly red, because the other party's words were equivalent to saying clearly that his previous complaints were wrong, and that his brother was right not to be on the list.
But he had no way to refute it. The strength Su Xuan showed now had already proved the vision of Tianji Pavilion. At least his brother could not fight with Huang Lei like this.
Just when Qi Yuzhang was feeling a little embarrassed, there was a sudden exclamation from the street downstairs. Qi Yuzhang quickly withdrew his thoughts and looked at the street downstairs. This sight left him stunned.
Not only him, the other six people around him had similar expressions.
On the street, Huang Lei was lying on the street, covered in blood, with blood gushing out from his chest. Su Xuan's clothes were torn and he had many sword wounds all over his body, but at least he was still standing.
The winner has been decided.
This result shocked all the warriors on the street.
"I didn't expect this to be the result."
In the restaurant, Ye Ming, who was standing next to Qi Yuzhang, sighed, while the other man in black had a fighting spirit in his eyes.
"He's pretty good. Give him another two years and he'll be able to compete for the top ten."
The words of the man in black made Qi Yuzhang and others look shocked. This man was ranked eighth on the list of geniuses. What he said meant that Su Xuan had unlimited potential. You have to know that Su Xuan was only twenty-five years old and he still had five years to go before he turned thirty.
The disciples of Tianjian Sect were staring at Su Xuan with anger at this moment, and several disciples stepped forward to lift up the unconscious Huang Lei.
"Thank you."
Su Xuan turned around and was about to leave, but at the moment Su Xuan turned around, a terrifying pressure suddenly fell from the sky, and all the warriors in Canglan County looked up at the sky with fear.
Under this pressure, Su Xuan's body trembled. He could not bear the pressure at all. His legs bent and he was about to kneel down.
A beam of sword light shot out from a certain direction in the city and shot towards the sky.
The terrifying pressure that permeated the entire county town disappeared, and at the same time, a voice reached the ears of everyone in the city.
"As a martial saint, you are not afraid of losing face by bullying the weak."
