Chapter 308: Broken Reputation
Seeing Bai Zhi approaching the hero building generously, he didn't move his sword, he didn't move his sword, he didn't even use his hand, he was actually let in so easily, it was really unbelievable, and the expressions of many chivalrous people around him were slightly weird.
Zhang Shanshui passed the sound into the secret and asked curiously, "What did you say?" β
"I just told him that if I made a move, I would kill someone, and if I didn't want to get out of the way, I would get out of the way, and then I told him about the flaws of his sword moves, which could be broken with just one move." Bai Zhi said calmly: "It's as simple as that.
"Uh...... Isn't that intimidation? Zhang Shanshui was slightly stunned.
"I didn't say let me in, he was scared." Bai Zhi shook his head: "The matter of the reincarnation, how can it be called intimidation." β
ββ¦β¦ You've acquiesced to it, so let's move on upstairs. Zhang Shanshui didn't say anything more and walked up to the second floor.
The gatekeeper on the second floor is a middle-aged man, he is a swordsman, and he uses a nine-way golden ring big knife, which is full of might, fierce and tough, and ordinary martial artists will go back to shock their blood when they receive a move, and it is difficult to gather true qi.
Zhang Shanshui attacked his waist and abdomen to avoid his edge, and in the third move, he would use the fast sword to force the opponent to take a step back, and then step into the second layer.
As for Bai Zhi, he walked up to the swordsman, stretched out his hand and pinched the golden ring broadsword, and praised the 'good knife', and then he left, no one dared to stop him...... Because there are three more handprints on this forty-six-pound cold iron broadsword, how much strength does it take to do it!
However, this is only the basic application of alchemy.
After several battles and discussions, finally, the two came to the front of the fifth floor.
The gatekeeper on the fifth floor is a middle-aged man with an old-fashioned face, he fights the enemy empty-handed, and his strength is threefold, and he is a difficult master to deal with.
This person is practicing solid kung fu, one long and one short, which was originally a natural defect, but after years of hard practice, the martial arts path has become a school of its own, and the weakness is trained to grow, which shows its degree of hardship.
When the true qi is running, it will be concentrated on its legs, but the true qi of the same innate level will naturally form a protective qi, although there are flaws and thicknesses, but it is definitely not something that ordinary martial artists can break.
"Defeat me, and you'll be able to enter the fifth floor." The middle-aged man is concise and to the point, and his attitude is indifferent. It proves that he did not receive the psychological retreat caused by Zhang Shanshui's many breakthroughs before, and he is a strong-willed good player.
"Please advise."
The two shook their hands, suddenly their faces froze, and they began to fight.
The middle-aged man walked with his legs, although his feet were solid, but he used boxing as a test, punched out, the true qi was spiral, and part of it converged on the upper body, and the qi was whistling, forming a restrained defensive circle, which seemed to be offensive, but in fact it was testing Zhang Shanshui's counterattack.
This scene came into view, Zhang Shanshui also did not draw his sword, but stretched out his fingers, using the sword fingers that all swordsmen would use, and the condensed sword qi gathered at his fingertips, like sharp arrows, piercing the weak points of the opponent's defense.
The true qi of the innate progression suddenly retracted, surging and slapping on Zhang Shanshui's body, the other party stepped violently, his right leg was raised, and the whirlwind leg struck his shoulder sideways.
Zhang Shanshui smiled confidently, Dugu Jiujian's sword moves were pinched easily, showing amazing changes in the moves, like complicated, like concise, dizzying, but faintly restrained the opponent's fists and feet.
Every time the stirring true qi was shaken open, or shattered.
The middle-aged man's face changed, he didn't expect that he was actually restrained by the swordsman, this is a close combat!
The drastic changes in his heart caused him to be taken away, and he failed to avoid Zhang Shanshui's surging sword qi, and was repelled a few steps, although he tried his best to stabilize his body, and every step fell on the floor with a dent, but he also took three steps back, that is, these three short steps, Zhang Shanshui seized the position and stepped into the fifth floor.
"I conceded." Zhang Shanshui gestured.
In the confrontation of martial artists, one and a half moves are also lost, and life and death are also lost.
There was nothing to say, the middle-aged man could only clench his fists, stiffen his neck and say, "Please come in ......"
A few people below saw it clearly, and they all exclaimed: "I haven't gone through five moves...... Who is he with this kind of strength? Why haven't I heard of this character, I can't stop him from punching three times. β
"Forget it, this gatekeeper is a famous Jianghu person in Jinling, the old Jianghu, his strength, if he is twenty years younger, he can be ranked in the list, this young man defeated him, I am afraid that he also has the strength to enter the list."
"People list, speaking of which, isn't there a person on the seventh floor......"
"That's the people of the Cang clan, after all, it's a big family, where can we compare?" One person snorted: "Speaking of which, the bloodline of the Cang family has been men for generations, and the people of their family are like being smeared with ****, and they will provoke a lot of women wherever they go, spending money like dirt, and being chic, almost all the top brands of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion have left a place for the Cang family, which is simply a natural romantic life, they also like to hunt for beauty, show mercy everywhere, cause trouble everywhere, and finally cause a lot of love debts, how many women come to the door to collect debts is not unusual, tsk......"
"You're envious of him, aren't you?" One person laughed and said: "Peach blossom luck is not good luck, this thing will kill people if it is not good, do you remember the tragedy caused by the two disciples of Su Yimen and Tianxiang Pavilion competing for the same person decades ago?" β
"Oh, I know this, but the two sects almost fought back then......"
The people below were interested as they spoke, and at the same time digressed from the topic.
Bai Zhi was just about to follow, but he saw the middle-aged man stop him with an unkind expression, and he touched his chin: "Are you looking for my stubble to save face?" β
ββ¦β¦ Those who enter the building must pass the customs. The middle-aged man said in a low voice, and he sneered; I'm not one of those idiots before, I'll be scared by you, so I'll let you go! β
"Oh?" Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Seeing his smile, Zhang Shanshui's heart was cold, and he silently recited Amitabha, and the little brother Bai was going to be a whole person again, hoping that this time he would not make trouble.
Bai Zhi held his jaw with one hand and looked at the middle-aged man carefully, the other party was straightened by his hair, and scolded stubbornly: "What are you looking at? β
"I'm just looking at a pathetic single dog." Bai Zhi smiled slightly.
"Who do you say is a dog!"
"You're not a dog, you're just single, or a poor guy who hasn't been entangled in anything, haven't you been very late?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can I be ......"
"Don't pretend." Bai Zhi interrupted: "Your dress, your behavior, your dress, everything tells me the truth. β
He talked eloquently: "First of all, your clothes have a lot of oil stains, although it can be seen that you are working very hard to clean, but the cuffs have been washed too much, and they have begun to fade and turn white, which proves that you do not have too many changes of clothes, of course, it may also be that you are diligent and thrifty, and do not repair your face, but your neat face means that you love to be clean and care about your external image, secondly, your chapped lips prove that you have recently consumed less nutrients, and there are bloodshot eyes, which means that you are not sleepy, puffy bags under your eyes and lack of qi and blood, Otherwise, it would be impossible to be repelled so easily by Brother Zhang. β
"Your malnutrition and poor clothing can be understood as your lack of money, but your kind tidying up your face means that you are unexpectedly looking at the image, you are not strong and bloody, and lack of sleep means what you did at night, so what did you do?" Bai Zhi looked at him with a narrow expression: "I'll make a reasoning, your money must have been used elsewhere, and it consumes a lot of energy and money, and this is Jinling, just think about it a little and understandββ"
"It's really a shame that you dare to go in the gold cave of the Qinglou Flower Boat, it must be very hard at night, how many times a night?" Bai Zhi looked indifferent, sympathetic and sighed: "It's a pity that you can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes and still covet these fish and water pleasures, I think there must be no wife and lovers, I don't want to point out anything about your private life, but you should at least pay attention...... It's also for money to come to the Hero Building to guard the door, let me guess, how much does it cost to let one go? A hundred taels? One thousand taels? Or five thousand taels? β
Observing the change in his expression, Bai Zhi snapped his fingers: "I see, three thousand taels, you are quite dark...... But you're so waterproof to let people in, does the boss here know? There are a few talents above who are barely congenital, and the three-legged cat kung fu can also be done steadily, which is also your credit. β
As soon as he said a word, he immediately became the target of public criticism.
Everyone's eyes are like a sword stabbing him with a thousand holes, the original use of the money for food and accommodation on visiting the kiln itself is very worthy of shame, he is not a disciple of a big family, he is over forty years old but has not started a family, although it can be understood, but ridicule and rumors are indispensable, and now it is secretly collecting money and letting people go, which is even more bad The rules of the Hero Building, disgusting and spurned.
"What scum is also worthy of the hero building!"
"I didn't expect him to be this kind of person, Lao Zibai can afford him!"
"A few bastards above, can you sit comfortably on your ass when you bought it with money! Hurry up and get out of here, or I'll kill you turtle grandson! β
A group of people roared again and again, and the knights of the entire hero building were all verbally criticized, and they attacked in groups, and some even held their swords, ready to talk about the truth of the rivers and lakes, and tell him what the rules are that cannot be broken!
The man's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Bai Zhi with a frightened heart, his eyes full of hatred and anger.
People who mix rivers and lakes, reputation is sometimes more important than life, Oriental people love face is recognized all over the world, Jianghu people love face and love reputation is also recognized, people work hard for fame and profit all their lives, and his reputation is ruined.
"It would be good if you let me go obediently, this is your own death, no one is to blame, I don't want to expose you just because it's unnecessary, now...... Am I eligible to pass? Bai Zhi smiled indifferently.
"You stinky little ghost, bad my reputation, I have to look good today!"
"I'm good-looking, thank you."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and he had already moved, and his fist whistled and hit the door directly.
However, at this moment, a cold light shot out and fell on his arm, which directly shattered his body protection qi, and landed on his arm with a crisp cracking sound, and with just one blow, the bones shattered.
A chuckle echoed: "This friend, if he is exposed, he wants to use a killer, I'm afraid, it's not appropriate, right?" β
