Chapter 17: Xue Zhu and the King of Chu compete with each other
Imperial.
Under the gazebo.
Pavilions and pavilions, painted bridges and flowing water, rockeries, and flowers.
The king of Chu and Xue Zhu each held a sword and stood opposite each other.
The ministers stood on either side, and there was a lot of discussion.
The King of Chu's face was grim, and his eyes were as sharp as ice.
Xue Zhu pretended to be calm, but his heart was full of ups and downs.
"Xue Qing, you have to fight today's battle." The King of Chu looked at Xue Candle, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will never lose this battle." Xue Zhu replied.
King Chu smiled faintly: "Xue Qing has thought about it, if you win, you can continue to travel the world, if you lose, you should serve my Chu country." "
When Xue Candle heard this, there was a little doubt between his eyebrows.
Is King Chu's words credible?
If I win, will he really let me continue to roam the world?
I, Xue Candle, was born in troubled times, grew up in troubled times, although I can't dominate one side, but I don't want to be at the mercy of others, if I really reach that situation, even if I die, I can't give in.
"Since this is the case, then Xue is better to be respectful than to obey his orders, please advise." Xue Zhu clenched his fists.
"Okay, take it!." The King of Chu held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and his left hand gently lifted upward, and the sharp blade of the sword pointed directly at Xue Candle's throat.
Xue Candle swung his right arm and blocked the sword.
Bite!
Sparks splash.
King Chu's left hand shook, and the blade of the sword slashed downward.
Xue Candle swung his left arm vigorously and flicked the long sword away.
The king of Chu took advantage of the victory to pursue, the long sword in his hand was fast and ruthless, like a shadow, constantly attacking, the sword light criss-crossed, and kept attacking Xue Candle.
Xue Candle's eyes flickered, his right hand grasped the hilt of the sword, and slashed forward.
Ding Ding!
For a while, the sword light was intertwined, and the cold light was flying.
The sword aura is like a tide, and the sword light is dazzling.
The two went back and forth, and the fight was very fierce, and it looked like they were evenly matched, but in fact, they were not.
King Chu's martial arts are unfathomable, although Xue Zhu has deep internal strength, but after all, he is still young, his foundation is unstable, and his internal strength is also lacking, plus he has not been able to comprehend the essence of swordsmanship, so under the onslaught of King Chu, he has been at a disadvantage and retreated step by step, but he has always refused to show weakness, just gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to admit defeat.
King Chu looked at Xue Candle, his eyes becoming more and more cold.
"Xue Qing, this time I am giving you a chance, if you continue to resist, I will take your life." The king of Chu had a gloomy face and drank hard.
"Since the king insists on this, then he can only accompany him to the end, but he will not keep his hand in the next, if the king does not want to be injured, then he can do his best." Xue Candle's tone also became solemn, and his eyes stared at the King of Chu fiercely, without fear, without the slightest intention of retreating.
Seeing this, a flash of approval flashed in the eyes of the King of Chu.
"Okay, Xue Qing, let me show you the power of my sword today."
As he spoke, the king of Chu shook his right hand slightly, his body took half a step forward, and the whole person suddenly rose a few meters taller, and the long sword in his hand turned, and the blade brought a gust of wind, and the blade instantly became more than a hundred zhang long, and went straight to Xue Candle.
Seeing this, Xue Candle's pupils contracted sharply, and a thick color of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
This sword is simply terrifying, terrifying.
"Awesome! Terrible! The ministers who were watching the battle from the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the power of King Chu's sword.
"Xue Qing, take it!"
As he spoke, the King of Chu rushed towards Xue Candle.
"Okay."
Xue Zhu responded, with a flip of his wrist, the long sword was raised upward, and a silver-white sword qi burst out of the air, meeting the sword qi of the King of Chu.
Bang!
The king of Chu had a numb wrist, and the long sword in his hand flew out of his hand.
His body was also shaken several meters away.
With a pop, the king of Chu fell to the ground.
The boss of the King of Chu's eyes widened, and looked at Xue Zhu in disbelief.
This, this, how is this possible?
The King of Chu couldn't believe that his full sword was actually defeated in Xue Candle's hands.
Why did this sword lose its power from the previous days?
Could it really be a useless sword, as Xue Candle said?
But is it possible?
Xue Candle's swordsmanship is far inferior to his own, which the King of Chu knows.
It's impossible!
No way!
These three words kept circling in the mind of the King of Chu.
He had mixed feelings.
"Xue Qing, what means did you use with that sword just now?" After the king of Chu came slowly, he asked with burning eyes.
"King, that's not Xue's means." Xue Candle shook his head.
King Chu frowned.
"Tell me, then, what is that?" King Chu asked in a deep voice.
When Xue Candle heard this, he was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the King of Chu, and said slowly: "The reason why the king was defeated by the villain's sword is because the sword in the king's hand is a female sword, so it has lost its former power. Xue Zhu said slowly.
Hearing Xue Candle's words, all the ministers present were shocked.
When the King of Chu heard this, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the fallen long sword, his face became more and more ugly.
He could never have imagined that his proudest and proudest sword was actually defeated in the hands of a small Xue Candle.
This is simply the greatest shame in his life as King of Chu.
"The female sword comes and the male sword does not! This guy is really hateful! King Chu's gaze reflected Sen Ran's murderous intent.
"The king, the villain still has a word, I hope the king can think about it." Xue Zhu said again.
"Xue Qing, please speak." The King of Chu looked at Xue Candle.
"The sword in the king's hand is a female sword, the female sword is in the hand, the power is less than one-tenth of it, the king's swordsmanship is superb, if the male sword is used, the power will naturally increase by a hundred times, and if the male and female meet, the power of the two will also increase by a thousand times or more, and the cooperation between the two will also reach the most perfect realm, at that time, the king can be invincible and kill the enemy invisibly." Xue Candle said.
"But where is this sword?" The King of Chu looked at Xue Zhu with burning eyes.
When Xue Candle heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said: "The villain doesn't know where the sword is now, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that this sword has already been stolen and hidden somewhere in Nanshan, and some people say that the sword thief is the cadre himself, all of this is just a rumor in the rivers and lakes, and the villain also got it from the mouths of some idle people, and there is no evidence, so it is not enough to rely on." "
"What does Xue Qing mean?" King Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Candle, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
Remember, my lord, that you are the only true king if you win this command, and that no one in this world can stop you, including all monarchs, and you are the only king. Xue Zhu said.
"Hahaha." King Chu raised his head and laughed, his voice was hearty, "Very good, Xue Qing, you are really a masterpiece!" "
King Chu said, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and a trace of ruthlessness burst out of his eyes.
This sword, he is determined to win!
He wants to make the state of Chu the first kingdom, and he wants to rule the entire Southern Wilderness.
King Chu's eyes flashed with fierce fighting spirit and ambition, and at this moment, he was full of strong self-confidence, confident that he could control the entire Southern Wilderness.
"King, what should we do now?" A minister looked at the King of Chu and asked.
"Send the order, immediately send someone to search for the whereabouts of the sword." The King of Chu pondered for a moment and commanded.
"Yes." The minister answered, bowed and left.
King Chu looked at Xue Candle, his eyes full of appreciation: "Xue Qing, you can go, continue to travel the world, and live your leisurely life." "
"Thank you for your grace, the villain has taken his leave." Xue Zhu clenched his fists, bowed to the King of Chu, and then turned to leave.
"Xue Qing go slowly!" The King of Chu shouted with a smile at Xue Candle's back.
Xue Zhu heard the shout of the king of Chu, suddenly turned around, faced the king of Chu, knelt on the ground, and said: "Although the battle between the villain and the king is still defeated, the heroism of the king is admired by the villain, so although the king is defeated, the villain is ashamed of himself!" Willing to submit to the king and serve the state of Chu! “
After Xue Zhu finished speaking, he kowtowed.
"Hahaha......" When the king of Chu heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and the anger in his heart disappeared completely, replaced by excitement and joy.
At this moment, King Chu felt that he was the overlord in this sky, invincible and unstoppable.
"Xue Qing, I promised you, I promised you!" The King of Chu roared excitedly.
"Thank you, King!" Xue Candle bowed.
The King of Chu hurriedly helped Xue Zhu up.
"Xue Qing, don't worry, as long as you take the cadre sword, you will be the hero of my Chu State, and I will definitely give you a generous reward." The King of Chu looked at Xue Zhu with a smile on his face.
