20. Zhang Xu
Cold Water City, as a prosperous city second only to the capital of the dynasty, naturally has a lot of money in it, otherwise the four major families of the Baiyu Dynasty would not have settled their sects here. Even the Jade Han King, who ruled the entire Cold Prefecture, did not have absolute control in Cold Water City, and he couldn't even get involved in some businesses in Cold Water City, because it meant that he would be enemies with the four major families at the same time.
Of course, the four major families are not unbelievable, and many benefits have to be distributed to King Yuhan and the royal family of the dynasty.
Basically, all the shops, all kinds of raw materials, and the resources of the fang market in Coldwater City were all divided by the four major families. Of course, this distribution and benefits are not static, and some markets will become prosperous for various reasons, and trade routes will also change differently.
Therefore, the martial arts training once every ten years determines which of the four major families can occupy the best trade routes, resources, and markets.
In the last martial arts training, the Lu family won the first place, so they occupied the most prosperous Sanjianfang City, five streets, and two trade routes in the Cold Water City, among other benefits. But it's a pity that in the past ten years, there has been a fault line among the younger generation of disciples of the Lu family, if there is no progress, I am afraid that the next martial arts training, the Lu family will become the bottom of the family.
The Fang City where Ye Xuan is located at the moment is one of the three Fang markets owned by the Lu family.
Although it is the most prosperous three, this one is the smallest, but it is close to the West City Gate and has three most profitable trade routes, so it has led to the development of this market.
In the previous two markets, Ye Xuan went to both markets, but he didn't find what he was looking for.
Yes.
Ye Xuan was lingering in the Fang Market at the moment, just to find Zhang Xu.
After breaking through the intermediate sixth grade, Ye Xuan happened to have itchy hands recently, and he lacked personal sword practice. It is impossible for Zi Xuan to accompany her to practice swords, because he is not Zi Yan's opponent at all, no matter how much Zi Yan lowers his strength, the comprehension of the sword intent alone is enough to suppress Ye Xuan from moving and counterattacking.
Therefore, the most suitable person to practice is Zhang Xu, whose strength has reached the peak of the intermediate sixth-grade grade.
Ye Xuan is not a person who likes to take the initiative to cause trouble, but he is definitely a person who can be called persistent.
A person with intelligence, talent, luck and willingness to work hard to develop and improve, is there anything more terrible in this world?
The answer is obvious.
Therefore, Ye Xuan promised that Lu Li would avenge him, and he would definitely avenge him.
Now it's just an appetizer.
After a stroll around the market, Ye Xuan quickly found Zhang Xu.
As Lu Xin said, this Zhang Xu's face has an arrogant aura, for such a person, he will start to get embarrassed if he has a backer at home.
He believed that the previous fight between Lu Li and Zhang Xu may have been because of some quarrels, but once the two of them are really angry, people like Zhang Xu who don't know how to control their strength can easily get killed.
In fact, he did kill someone, but this was just a cheap Ye Xuan.
Before Ye Xuan stepped forward, Zhang Xu had already spotted him, and with a smug smile on his face, he walked towards Ye Xuan.
"Isn't this the waste of the Lu family. Zhang Xu's voice was very loud, full of unstoppable flavor, and immediately attracted the attention of the people next to him, "I didn't expect your injury to heal so quickly, I was worried about whether I was too ruthless, if I accidentally beat you to death, Fourth Uncle Lu would be dead." ”
Lu Ren, the current head of the Lu family, has three brothers, namely the second Lu Jie, the third Lu Yi, and the fourth Lu Jun.
Ye Xuan's physical body Lu Li and his sister Lu Xin are both Lu Jun's children.
Lu Xin will marry sooner or later, and the only one who will inherit Lu Jun's lineage in the future will be Lu Li.
But it's a pity......
Lu Li is actually dead.
However, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn't say this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said indifferently: "Fortunately, Uncle Zhang has more sons, even if you die, Uncle Zhang will not be dead." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xu's face changed slightly, and his eyes became fierce: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, could it be that you forgot the lesson last time." ”
"Recently, I've also learned a lot, and I happen to have fewer people as my sparring partner. Ye Xuan still said unhurriedly.
But the more Ye Xuan behaved freely, the more unhappy Zhang Xu became, in his opinion, how could this guy, who was a defeated soldier under his own command at the beginning, have any qualifications to pretend to be such a confident appearance in front of him? What's more, now there are people from the Heavenly Sword Sect behind his Zhang family, and several of his elder brothers have also been taken by the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect and promised to accept him into the inner door, this kind of thing naturally makes Zhang Xu even more arrogant.
The Zhang family is no better than the Lu family, and the current ruler of the Zhang family has no other brothers, but he married five wives, and Zhang Xu is the fifth lady who is the most favored by his father, and he is also the favorite child of the Zhang family.
Whether it is identity, status or strength, it is much stronger than Ye Xuan's body, so Zhang Xu naturally has proud capital.
At this moment, Ye Xuan's words aroused the anger in his heart, and he was naturally furious at the moment: "Do you really think that if a witch instructs you a few moves, you will become a master?" That witch is a garbage in front of Senior Brother Ye Luo, and returning the thirteen sword immortals in the world is simply insulting the name of the sword immortal!"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's brows furrowed slightly.
He knew that his worst fears had come true. The Zhang family really became the outer family of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But this kind of worry only made his murderous intent towards Zhang Xu temporarily suspend for a while.
He knew that if he killed Zhang Xu now, the Zhang family would definitely fight with him, and the only person who would protect the Lu family was Lu Jie, and Ziyan might come to intervene, but at that time, it would become a battle between the Demon Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, if there was a battle because of Ye Xuan's identity, the Demon Sword Sect might not say anything. But if the identity is changed to "Lu Li", the people of the Demon Sword Sect will have complaints against Ziyan, and it is even difficult to say whether the Demon Sword Sect will intervene.
Ye Xuan didn't want to bring too much trouble to Zi Yan, especially now that Zi Yan was seriously injured.
It's just that this doesn't mean that Zhang Xu can insult his friends unscrupulously.
What is a witch?
Could it be that just because Ziyan joined a sect that did not follow the orthodox line, he would be called a witch and would be subjected to all kinds of white eyes and insults from the world?
In response to Zhang Xu, it was Ye Xuan's fierce punch!
There is no exercise to operate, it is just the purest punch, but it also hit Zhang Xu's whole body and flew out.
The people around were watching the excitement, no one expected Ye Xuan to make a sudden move, they all thought that this was just a battle of words, and even if they did, it would definitely not be Ye Xuan. Many people recognize that the person in front of them is the person who was almost killed in this market more than two months ago, and the person who almost killed him last time was the one who had just been beaten out.
Many people know that there must be a good show to watch next.
Only the warriors who were in charge of some security issues in Fang City and some of the warriors who passed by around discovered the key to the problem, some of them frowned as if they were thinking about something, while more of them showed expressions of disbelief.
More than two months ago, it was just a lower-level nine-rank, but now more than two months later, it is a middle-level six-grade, a full step!
What kind of cultivation speed is this?
Facing the shock of the people around him, Ye Xuan seemed extremely calm. He knew that his move today would definitely attract the attention of others, and if it weren't for the screen god jade on his body, he would definitely not dare to run out at such a time.
It's just that when he shot just now, he felt the changes in Zhang Xu's body.
Lower-level nine-rank martial artists, before they made a move, it was difficult to find out what the specific strength of the other party was. The only thing that can be guessed is the temperament exuded by the other party, but this temperament can only be used to identify which of the three classes the other party is in.
When Ye Xuan punched out just now, although it came suddenly, when it hit Zhang Xu, the other party still reacted.
At that moment, Ye Xuan felt that the power he emitted was melted a lot by Zhang Xu in his body.
You can transform your energy in your body, which has already reached the level of dark energy, and your dark energy must be a mid-level fifth grade before you can start cultivating.
In other words, this Zhang Xu actually reached the mid-level fifth-grade, not the rumored sixth-grade peak!
This discovery made Ye Xuan's brows furrow, and he felt a little tricky in his heart.
Starting from the middle level, although the strength of each product is the same, the operation of the technique and the method of shooting are completely different.
Taking Ye Xuan as an example, his attack can only have a superficial effect, which is the so-called external injury. But the mid-level five-grade person can cause internal injuries to the opponent, which is the so-called dark power.
"You...... How dare you hit me?" Zhang Xu got up from the ground, his face was full of hot pain, especially his nose, he could feel that his nasal bone had been broken, blood was flowing out, and his face was full of surprise.
"Hmph. Ye Xuan snorted coldly, although he was unmoved on the surface, but secretly he was on guard.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't kill this Zhang Xu, Ye Xuan would have already drawn his sword, and he was confident that his Taohai Listening to the Wind Sword Technique would definitely be much more clever and powerful than the other party's Sword Technique. It's just that he can't use a sword now, so he has to be careful of the opponent's dark energy, because this kind of dark energy can not only melt away part of the power that hits him, but also make the opponent cause dark injuries, which is what makes Ye Xuan have a headache.
"I'm fighting with you!" Seeing Ye Xuan's unmoved face, and even the contempt in his eyes was so obvious, Zhang Xu completely lost his mind in an instant.
And Ye Xuan, when he saw Zhang Xu completely lose his mind, he smiled.
Empty strength but don't know how to control it, such an enemy is the least worth worrying about.
