Ten Thousand Swords City, Zhao Mansion, Marke's bedroom.

The first rays of sunlight shone in through the window in the morning, Xia Jia got up and put on her clothes unhurriedly. At this time, Mark's eyes also opened slightly. The first rays of golden sunlight in the morning shone on Xia Jia's unhung body, which made her look particularly beautiful at this moment.

Marc reached over with one hand and grabbed her hand and said, "Are you going to leave so soon?"

Xia Jia smiled: "You haven't played enough." ”

Marc laughed, "No, I can play for you for a long, long time." ”

Xia Jia smiled: "You've had enough, are you going to throw me away?" ”

Marc hurriedly said: "No, no, how could it be." ”

Xia Jia smiled: "Really?"

"Really, more than pearls," Marker said. ”

Xia Jia smiled: "You sleep for a while, I'll make you breakfast." ”

After Xia Jia finished speaking, she withdrew her hand and walked out of Mark's hand.

After Xia Jia walked out, Marc closed his eyes again. He was indeed very tired, and this fatigue was partly due to his own diligence in practicing swordsmanship, and on the other hand, he was too diligent in exercising at night.

This time, though, he didn't sleep long, just closed his eyes for about thirty minutes. Thirty minutes later he was sleepy. He also sat up and began to get dressed. When he put on all his clothes, Xia Jia also came back, Xia Jia said, "Breakfast is ready." ”

Marc laughed, "I'll go right over." ”

Marc got dressed and walked slowly towards the hall where he was eating.

After rinsing his mouth and washing his face, Marker sat down, with a bowl of steaming porridge in front of him and a basket of steamed dumplings in front of him. There is also a serving of beef powder.

Marc took a sip of porridge and ate another steamed dumpling.

Xia Jia asked, "How does it taste?"

Marc said, "Okay. ”

Xia Jia said, "How good?"

Marc couldn't say anything for a while, and at this time, Ting'er, the maid standing behind him, said: "These are all made by Xia Jia himself, he wants to hear more of your praise." ”

Marc said, "Yes, yes. ”

Ting'er said: "I won't bother you, you talk." ”

The maid named Ting'er left after saying this.

Marc ate the porridge in his bowl and occasionally looked at Xia Jia, who was sitting opposite. But he found that Xia Jia was watching him all the time.

Marker asked, "Is there anything on my face?"

Xia Jia shook her head and said with a smile, "No." ”

Marc said, "Then why are you looking at me all the time?"

Xia Jia said, "Don't you want me to look at you?"

"No, it's just that you're looking at me and I'm always a little nervous," Marc said. ”

Xia Jia said: "What is there to be nervous about. ”

Marc didn't speak, just blushed and drank the porridge in the bowl with his head down.

After breakfast, Marc didn't start his sword practice that day, and he went out into the street. There was no reason, no purpose, he just wanted to get out and walk. His sea sword canon, the wave-breaking style, has never succeeded.

He thought that it would be good for him to come out of the Zhao Mansion and empty himself.

The streets are full of people, and on both sides of the road are people in a hurry. Those small traders and vendors are hawking along the streets.

At this moment, Marker heard a small child's voice say, "Mom, I want to eat rock sugar gourds." ”

The middle-aged woman said, "Boss, may I ask you how much is this rock sugar gourd?" ”

The boss said, "Two copper plates." ”

The woman's face changed slightly, and she said, "I only have four copper plates here, and I have to buy some rice soon, otherwise our family will have no rice to cook today." Boss, is it okay to have a copper plate?"

The little boy said, "Mom, don't buy it, I suddenly don't want to eat it." ”

At this time, a woman came over and gave the vendor two copper plates, then took down a string of sugar gourds, handed them to the child and said, "Give them to your child." ”

The child held the string of sugar gourds, and his eyes showed joy.

The child's mother said, "Thank you for this sister." ”

The child took the rock sugar gourd and said happily, "Thank you, sister." ”

Marke couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene from a distance, but then he found a problem, this woman who was called sister by that little child was not an ordinary person, but a master of the Martial Emperor realm.

Marc couldn't say why, but he followed.

When I came to an alley, the woman suddenly turned around and said, "Who are you and what are you doing with me?"

Marc was startled at the woman who turned his head all at once, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The woman continued: "You followed me on the street just now, and you have followed me until now, saying what are your intentions?"

Marker hurriedly said, "I have no attempt, I ...... There is no malice either. ”

The woman said, "Then what are you doing with me?"

"I didn't know, I didn't know it," Marc said. ”

The woman said, "You're such a weirdo. ”

Marker said, "Are you in the Martial Emperor realm?"

The woman said, "Yes, you can see it." ”

Marker nodded and said, "I can see it." ”

The woman said, "You're also a cultivator?"

Marc nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The woman continued, "What realm are you?"

Before Marc could speak, the woman continued, "Don't say it, let me guess. ”

The woman touched her chin with one hand, thought for a moment and said, "Martial Emperor Beginner?"

"No," Marc said. ”

The woman said again: "Martial Emperor Intermediate Rank." ”

"No," Marc said. ”

The woman said, "Could it be that you are in the realm of Emperor Wu?"

Marc smiled and said, "How is that possible. ”

The woman said, "Then what kind of realm you are, I can't guess." ”

Marc said, "Martial Venerable Beginner. ”

The woman looked surprised, and she said, "You're just a beginner of Martial Venerable?"

Marc nodded and said, "yes, is there such an accident?"

The woman said, "Very surprised. I thought you should at least be at least the realm of the Martial Emperor. ”

Marker said, "How do you see that?"

The woman said, "You are not in the realm of the Martial Emperor, why did you come to me to compete?"

Marc said, "I'm not here to compete with you. ”

The woman was puzzled and said, "Then what are you looking for me?"

Marc said, "I want you to do me a favor." ”

The woman suddenly smiled and said, "Big brother, you and I have just met, and you want me to help." ”

"I know, it's a lot of nonsense, but I want to say it anyway," Marc said. ”

The woman said, "Okay, okay, you name it." ”

Marc wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Finally, Marker took out his Baihong sword and said, "You can take a look at my swordsmanship first." ”

The woman muttered in her heart, "This guy, is there something wrong with his heart?" ”

But she still said, "Okay, you practice, I'll watch." ”

Marker was armed with a sword of Baihong, first with a stab, then with a sweep, then with another stab.

These actions are simple and done in one go.

But when the woman saw the sword, she was speechless in astonishment. Until Marker put away his sword and asked, "What do you think?"

After about a minute, the woman said, "Is your surname Zhao?"

Marker shook his head and said, "No." ”

The woman said, "Then how do you know the swordsmanship on the Zhao Jiahai Sword Codex?"

Marc said, "Are you from the Zhao family?"

The woman said, "No. ”

Marc said, "Can you tell me the girl's name?"

The woman said, "Wei Chi Zijian." ”

The woman continued, "What is your name, Your Excellency?"

Marc said, "Mark. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "You are not from the Zhao family, why do you know the swordsmanship of the Zhao family." ”

Marc said: "I now live in Zhao's house, and I am friends with Zhao Mingwei. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Oh, then what do you want me to help you?"

Marc said, "Is there anything lacking in that sword I just had?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "The sword you just now is the wave-breaking style in the Sea Sword Classic. ”

Marker said, "yes." How do you know?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "I have seen Zhao Yukun use this trick. ”

Marc said: "Then do you think there is any deficiency in my trick?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "You are Zhao Mingwei's friend, so why don't you ask Zhao Mingwei about this matter?"

Marc said: "Zhao Mingwei is no longer in Ten Thousand Swords City now. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said, "Where did he go?"

Marc said, "Go to the Dragon Buddha Province and find a medicinal herb called Heavenly Dragon Grass. ”

Wei Chi Zijian said: "Then you can also ask Zhao Yukun." ”

Marker said: "Zhao Yukun won't teach me, no, this trick is the bishop of the Zhao family." But he wanted me to learn it in three days, or he would send me back. ”

Wei Chi Zijian said in surprise: "Three days." ”

Marc said: "I'm connected today, and there are two days left. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "This wave-breaking style is impossible to practice in three days. ”

"But I can't help it, I have to practice," Marc said. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Zhao Yukun, he just doesn't want you to stay here. ”

Marc nodded calmly and said, "I know this." ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Why did he drive you away, Zhao Yukun I know is not such a person?"

"Because he wants to protect me," Marker said. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Protect you?"

Marc said: "This place in Ten Thousand Swords City will soon be invaded by the Ibo Empire, and all he wants to take advantage of the fact that the people of the Ibo Empire are not here to let me leave the Ten Thousand Swords City." ”

Yu Chi Zijian said, "You mean that this place is about to be invaded by the Ibo Empire?"

"Yes," Marc said. ”

Marc looked at Yu Chi Zijian's face and said, "Why am you not surprised at all when I hurry?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "I know this. ”

"You know," Marker said. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "I know, it's because I know that I came here." ”

Marc said, "You want to come...... What for?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Use the blood of the soldiers of the Yibo Empire to wash my sword." ”

Marc looked at this girl named Yu Chi Zijian, who looked harmless to humans and animals, but when he said this, there was a terrifying power.

Marc said, "What do you think my sword is missing?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Momentum. ”

Marc said, "So what should I do?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Your current realm is too low, at least you have to reach the peak of Wuzun." ”

Marc said, "Oh. ”

Listening to Yu Chi Zijian's words, Marc was a little disappointed, he also thought about raising his level quickly, but no matter how hard he tried, he still stayed at the level of the first level of Wuzun, and the true qi in his body did not grow at all.

Yu Chi Zijian slowly walked behind Marke, and she said, "I can't let you reach the peak of Wuzun all at once, but it's still okay to let you go to the high level." ”

Yu Chi Zijian continued: "You sit down now. ”

Marc said, "Where are you sitting?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Just sit here?"

Marker said, "Let me sit on the ground?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Yes. ”

Mark, though speechless, finally sat down and sat down on the ground.

As soon as Marc sat down, Wei Chi Zijian also sat cross-legged on the ground. Marc felt two hands on his back, and Wei Chi Zijian said, "It will hurt, you must endure it." ”

Marc nodded and said, "Okay, come on." ”

As soon as Yu Chi Zijian finished speaking, Marker felt a very hot feeling on his back. But soon this feeling changed from hot to painful, just at first only a slight pain, and then which pain became more and more intense, more and more intense, and finally became a heart-rending pain.

He had a feeling that his body was expanding, and a large amount of true qi suddenly emerged from his body, colliding with the original true qi in his body.

This kind of knowledge only begins to gradually weaken after twenty minutes.

Those twenty minutes were a walk from hell to Marc and back. It's a feeling he doesn't want to experience again in his life.

Yu Chi Zijian said: "It's done." ”

Mark, almost dying, said, "Are you sure, you're done?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "It's done." ”

Marc slowly stood up, and he hurried his two legs, without a little strength, as if they were not his own.

Yu Chi Zijian also stood up and snorted with his hand with sweat on his face. "How are you feeling now?"

Marc said weakly, "I feel like I'm dying." ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "But you are not dead. ”

Marc said: "There's still a breath of air. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Do you still have the strength to walk now?"

Marc said, "There should still be." ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Then let's go." ”

Marc said, "Where to go?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "I'm hungry, go find something to eat." ”

Marc stood up and followed Yu Chi Zijian to a shop selling steamed buns.

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Boss, come two steamed buns and two bowls of soy milk." ”

The owner of the bun shop smiled and said loudly, "Okay, the two guest officers are sitting inside." ”

Marc and Wei Chi Zijian walked into this steamed bun shop, and the boss turned his head and asked, "Do the two guest officers want vegetable buns or meat buns?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Meat buns." ”

Marc and Yu Chi Zijian found a table against the wall and sat down, this bun shop, in addition to Marc and Wei Chi Zijian, there were three to five people eating. This place looks like an ordinary bun shop, no different from other places.

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Are you better now?" ”

Marc said, "It's much better. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "Do you feel the power now?"

Marc closed his eyes and felt the flow of true qi in his body. He felt it, he felt that the true qi in his body now was like a river, and the true qi was the river water, flowing extremely fast.

Marc opened his eyes, a look of joy in his eyes, and said, "I feel it." Is this the realm of the high-level martial arts?"

Yu Chi Zijian said: "I forcibly helped you improve, and now your realm is not very stable. You have to go back and stabilize your realm. ”

Marc said, "Mm-hmm, thank you. ”

Yu Chi Zijian said: "You're welcome, you and I meet each other, and it can be regarded as fate." ”

At this time, the owner of the steamed bun shop took two baskets of steamed buns, walked over, and said to Marc and Wei Chi Zijian: "Guest officer, your steamed buns." ”

Marc said, "Thank you. ”

Then the owner of the steamed bun shop brought two bowls of soy milk, put the two bowls of soy milk in front of Yu Chi Zijian and Marke, and said, "Guest officer, your dishes are ready." ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked past Malke and said, "You've eaten and drunk, it's time to go." ”

The middle-aged man walked straight to the door, and the owner of the bun shop said, "This guest officer, you forgot to pay." ”

The middle-aged man turned around and said, "Do you know who I am?"

The owner of the bun shop still said with a pleasant face: "I don't know if it's small." ”

The middle-aged man said, "My name is Wu Zhi, and I am the janitor of the Zhu family in Ten Thousand Swords City. I came to eat with you to see you. You also want me to give money, I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

The man named Wuzhi said this, and everyone else in the bun shop began to whisper-

"The temper of a member of the Zhu family is so big?"

"The Zhu family didn't know what shit luck they had taken a few days ago, and now every member of the Zhu family is in the realm of martial arts. ”

"This Zhu family is so terrifying. ”

"Then the family of the head of Ten Thousand Swords City now should not be the Zhao family, but the Zhu family. ”

"I see, in the next few days, the Zhu family is going to make a move against the Zhao family. ”

"No wonder a member of the Zhu family is so rampant now. ”

......

The owner of the steamed bun shop continued to say with a pleasant face: "This gentleman, no matter what family you come from, you have to pay for what you eat in the shop, this is the rule in the shop. ”

The Zhu family member named Wuzhi said: "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Ushi said and hit it with a fist. The power of that fist was devastating, and those who sat down to eat could feel the power of this punch. If you get hit by this punch, nine times out of ten, you will die.

If you are lucky enough to survive, you will definitely be imprinted with a lifelong disability. Maybe you'll have to spend the rest of your life in bed.

But in the face of such a powerful punch, the owner of the bun shop was not injured, and not even a single hair fell out.

Because just when Ushi's punch was thrown, a figure was already in front of the owner of the bun shop. The man grabbed the joint of Wu Zhi's hand, and the true qi in his hand was slightly fed in, and Wu Zhi's punch was dissolved.

Wu Zhi said: "Who are you, aren't you afraid of offending the Zhu family?"

The man grabbed the knuckle of Ushi's hand and pushed him back, and Ushi withdrew three steps at once.

Wu Zhi said: "Boy, you leave your name?"

The man said, "You pay this boss and I'll tell you my name." ”

Ushi said, "What if I don't pay?"

The man said, "Then don't blame me for offending. ”

Before the man's words were finished, one leg had already been kicked out, and that kick was just an ordinary kick, without any mystery, but only one point was powerful.

When Ushi saw this person kicking over, he didn't dodge, but kicked back.

"Bang!"

The two huge True Qi collided together, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Wu Zhi said: "I thought you were a stunned young man who didn't know the height of the sky, but I didn't expect you to have two more hits." ”

The man said, "You give the money to the boss now, and I can let you go." ”

Wuzhi said: "I don't need you to let you go, I'm going to kill you!"

Wu Zhi said, the whole body stepped back, and a light flashed in his hand, and after that light, a sword appeared in Wu Zhi's hand out of thin air. With the sword in his hand, Wuzhi's whole person became different.

Wu Zhi stabbed out with a sword, the speed of his sword was very fast, and that sword carried a huge sword qi, and the sword qi was black, looking like black lightning.

Wu Zhi said: "Let you see my Tianwu sword technique, the kid can die under my Tianwu sword technique, you will not die unjustly." ”

As he spoke, Wu Zhi stabbed out with a sword.

The man looked at the sword in Wuzhi's hand, and his face did not change. A hand into a palm and pushed out violently with a majestic true qi. A light flashed from the palm of his other hand, and after that light, a sword appeared in his hand.

Then the man slashed down with a sword, like a whirlwind. Hearing the crisp sound of "Bang!", the sword in Wuzhi's hand was knocked away from its original direction, and almost flew out of Wuzhi's hand.

But the man didn't stop, and after blocking Ushi's sword, he stabbed it out and stabbed Ushi in the throat.

The speed of this sword was so fast that Ushi had no way to dodge it.

But Ushi didn't die, and the man stopped when the tip of the sword was about to reach Ushi's throat. At this time, Wuzhi was already slumped on the ground in fright. His whole body was weak, and he couldn't even hold his own sword.

But Ushi's tone was still vicious, and he said, "Okay!

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and the man took the silver and handed it to the owner of the bun shop.

Ushi said, "Now you can tell me your name, right?!"

Before the man could speak, a voice had already come over, saying, "His name is Marke, and he is the most honored guest of my Zhao Mansion!"

The man who spoke walked over slowly, and you couldn't make out any expression on his face.

But when everyone saw him, there was a little more awe in their eyes.

The person who spoke was actually the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yukun!
