Chapter 69: An Unexpected Ending

Feeling the confidence that Qiu Mingshuo had when he held the long knife in his hand, Xiao Longchen's eyes also became solemn.

Although it seemed that he had the upper hand in the fight just now, in fact, Xiao Longchen's mental power and physical strength were consumed hugely. If the sword skills of this Qiu Baihu in front of him are far better than the marksmanship, the next two moves will indeed be very troublesome!

In order to recover his strength as soon as possible, Xiao Longchen silently activated the star power in his body, and a vigorous Otogi aura surged throughout the skeletal muscles of his body, causing his originally somewhat sorely swollen limbs to recover quickly.

Seeing Xiao Longchen holding the short sword again and getting up, Qiu Mingshuo burst out and raised his sword.

As Qiu Mingshuo ran quickly, the snow-bright long knife brought up a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground, and the crisp sound of the sharp tip rubbing against the ground made people shudder when they sounded.

Xiao Longchen's spiritual power was strong, but he was not affected in any way, and while his eyes were fixed on Qiu Mingshuo, the invisible divine thoughts also shrouded a radius of several meters around him.

This time, before the other party made a move, he couldn't see any attack routine at all, and could only improve his five senses to the extreme, so as to avoid Qiu Mingshuo's attack in time at the moment when he stabbed.

Almost everyone on the field had heard of the prestige of the ghost knife Qiu Mingshuo, and when they saw that the young Qianhu still chose to brake quietly, they all sweated for him.

When the distance between the two was shortened to one zhang, Qiu Mingshuo suddenly exerted his arms and raised the long knife in his hand high, and at the same time, his whole person also jumped more than two meters high, when the strength of the diagonal rush out was exhausted, his own weight plus the weight of the long knife of thirty or forty catties made the knife he chopped down very terrifying.

Xiao Longchen looked up at the long knife that was slashed down above, and felt a powerful qi machine lock his body, and he couldn't dodge it for a while.

Although this feeling only lasted for a moment, it was enough to have a decisive impact on the outcome of the battle for such a life-and-death battle.

Xiao Longchen had never imagined that an ordinary martial artist would be able to burst out with such magical power, which was completely beyond his cognition.

Seeing that the long knife was rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes, it was too late to dodge at this time, so he had to judge the trajectory of the long knife's slash, and then held the hilt of the short sword in his hand with both hands and made a blocking posture.

With a loud roar, Xiao Longchen felt like a mountain was pressing down head-on, not only his hands and arms were shocked and he lost consciousness, but even his body couldn't withstand the huge oppressive force, and his legs were about to fall to the ground as soon as he was weak.

Xiao Longchen knew that if he was really completely suppressed, I was afraid that both legs and knees would be shattered the moment they made contact with the ground, and defeat would be a foregone conclusion.

He would not allow such an outcome, so he staggered a step with all his strength, only allowing the front leg to bend down to cushion, and the other leg to suddenly exert force to compete with this strong force.

The next moment, Xiao Longchen felt the knee of the leg in front of him hit the ground fiercely, pressing the hard dirt ground into an inch-deep pit at the same time, there was a crisp sound of bones shattering.

Feeling the sharp pain coming from his knees, Xiao Longchen's immature little face became distorted. A strong Otogi aura frantically converged towards the shattered knee, relieving the sharp pain while quickly repairing the broken bone nerves.

"You lost!" Qiu Mingshuo's figure stood straight in front of Xiao Longchen, the long knife in his hand had been withdrawn by him, and he looked at the young man kneeling on one knee in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Your strength and reaction are very good, if you are given another five years to grow, I will definitely not be your opponent." But now, you're a little too young after all......"

Just when everyone thought that Xiao Longchen had completely lost his ability to fight and resonated with Qiu Mingshuo's words, they saw that the young man suddenly raised his head.

There was no pain on his face, instead he grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "I thought that I could defeat you without relying on the abilities of the star magicians. I didn't expect ...... In that case, let me show you my true strength!"

Hearing Xiao Longchen's words, Qiu Mingshuo suddenly felt a strong crisis, and hurriedly put the long knife across his chest, and his body quickly retreated backwards.

But a small light blue fireball was faster than him, and when his body had just withdrawn less than five meters, it slammed into the long knife on Qiu Mingshuo's chest.

The terrifying heat burned the long knife to a fiery red, and a wave of heat burned the beard above his lips to black.

However, at the moment when Qiu Mingshuo closed his eyes and waited for death, the flames that exploded surrounded his body, and there was no intention of spreading towards his body.

After a few breaths without feeling any burning pain coming from his body, Qiu Mingshuo opened his eyes blankly, and then saw the star magician boy with a broken knee actually limping towards him.

Looking at the blue flames surrounding him, Qiu Mingshuo said with a wry smile on his face: "I injured you so badly, why do you still want to keep my hands on me? Do you know that in the fight between sergeants, even if there are casualties, they will not be held accountable by the higher authorities afterwards!"

As soon as Xiao Longchen's mind moved, those raging flames were quickly extinguished, and he walked up to Qiu Mingshuo with difficulty, stretched out his right hand towards him and said, "You are my soldiers, killing you will not do me any good! Besides, you didn't have the intention to kill when you fought just now, so I have no reason to kill you!"

It was only at this moment that the fear in Qiu Mingshuo's heart gradually calmed down, and he struggled to get up and hold Xiao Longchen's outstretched right hand, and stood up with the help of his pulling force.

"Subordinate, meet Lord Qianhu!" Qiu Mingshuo glanced deeply at the young man in front of him, and then bowed to Xiao Longchen with a fist in his heart.

The turning point just now happened so quickly that the tens of thousands of sergeants who were so fast to see the excitement around did not slow down.

It wasn't until Qiu Mingshuo's sonorous voice sounded in the audience that the crowd instantly stirred!

"Oh my God, this boy turned out to be an astromagician......"

"It's no wonder that the city lord would directly appoint him as a thousand households! If it weren't for the fact that this young thousand households were too young, I'm afraid he would be able to enter the Divine Machine Camp directly, right?"

"Isn't it overkill to let a powerful astrologist serve as the twenty-ninth army and a thousand households?"

"I didn't expect this star magician to not kill the ghost sword Qiu Mingshuo, he is really a benevolent young man!"

Xiao Longchen's strength instantly changed the tone of conversation of all those who were not optimistic about him, and at this moment, no one had any contempt because he was still young.

For those ordinary sergeants, the Astral Sorcerer is a presence that can make them look up.

This kind of almost fanatical admiration is naturally not only because the astrowizard has a strong combat power. The more important factor is that every time the beast tide comes, the astrologers of the Shenji Camp are the saviors who wander between the armies.

Except for the recruits who had recently joined the army, almost all of these sergeants had been saved by the astrologists of the Shenji Battalion.

So after learning that this young man Chihu was actually an astromagician, no one dared to sneer in private.

In fact, the reason why these people's attitudes were able to change so quickly, in addition to the identity of Xiao Longchen Star Warlock, was more because of the strength and tolerance he showed just now.

Being able to compete head-on with the ghost sword Qiu Mingshuo on his own strength alone, and being able to force Qiu Baihu to use his tricks to become famous, this strength alone is enough to make most people feel awe.

Moreover, this young man was also a powerful star magician, and just threw out an inconspicuous small fireball, which made Qiu Mingshuo lose instantly.

Moreover, this young star magician did not kill Qiu Mingshuo to vent his hatred after he was seriously injured by him, which was the most important factor in their respect for Xiao Longchen in their hearts.

After all, the astral sorcerer has the same status as the noble, and the soldiers from ordinary civilian backgrounds like them can be considered the limit to be able to mix in the position of a thousand households, and their status and strength are far from being comparable to that of an astral sorcerer nobleman.

In this hierarchical world, strength and status are everything. If a nobleman wants to execute a commoner, it is as simple as trampling an ant to death.
