……

"You do think very much of him."

On the plank road of the Sword Pavilion, Zuo Mingqiu and Xu Mu walked side by side and said calmly.

Sun Tong may have to react to those words for a while before he can understand Xu Mu's good intentions, but as a person who has been with Xu Mu for half a year and regards Xu Mu as his biggest opponent, he understood it as soon as possible, Xu Mu said those words specifically to motivate Sun Tong.

Yes, incentive.

According to age, or seniority, Sun Tong can be regarded as their senior, but in terms of strength, Xu Mu can indeed guide Sun Tong.

But the question is, why did he do this, Zuo Mingqiu didn't understand, in the past six months, he had met many cultivators with extraordinary talent with Xu Mu, but neither he nor Xu Mu had ever said a word.

Sun Tong, why?

Xu Mu smiled slightly and said:

"Although the contact time is very short, I can conclude that this Sun Tong is the purest swordsman I have ever seen."

"Chen Changkong, words, Zhao Qingdong, among these geniuses who use swords, Sun Tong's talent is really not ranked, and his strength is much weaker, but his sword heart is definitely the purest, not mixed with others."

"When he said the sword, he showed a demeanor like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert and saw an oasis, Sun Tong liked white fish, or he liked swords, which came from the origin of a swordsman."

"He's different from any sword cultivator I've ever seen, or any monk, or supernatural person, so I decided to give him a hand."

Hearing this, Zuo Mingqiu nodded slightly, and said calmly: "What most people want in their lives is nothing more than wealth and power, whether it is a poor family or a child of a noble family, they can't escape the pursuit of these four words. ”

"After cultivating the Tao for so many years, in fact, I never knew where my Dao heart fell, and I couldn't do it if I was a sword idiot like Sun Tong."

Zuo Mingqiu said, his tone suddenly became serious: "But even so, I don't believe that my Dao heart is not as tenacious as Sun Tong, even if I don't know what I'm pursuing, I won't lose to him, so I can't understand why you value him so much." ”

"In my opinion, he is just one of the most ordinary swordsmen in the world."

When Xu Mu heard this, he said with a smile:

"I just said it casually, helping him is just doing it easily, good deeds make good karma, good karma bears good results."

"If you have to be more truthful and ask me if Sun Tong can become a first-class swordsman in the world in the future, and whether he can be stronger than you, it will be boring."

Zuo Mingqiu heard the words and did not speak.

He didn't mean anything else, he just just felt that Sun Tong couldn't do it.

Born in a reckless manner, how can he have a pure Dao heart for the sword, isn't he a human being, not tempted by the worldly wealth of the seven emotions and six desires? It's simply not possible!

Therefore, he didn't want to help Sun Tong because he felt that Sun Tong was not worthy, but Xu Mu gave an opinion that was contrary to him, which made him a little annoyed.

"Brother Zuo, you may not think it yourself, but in fact, you are very competitive?" Xu Mu said, suddenly stopped, and said to Zuo Mingqiu seriously. "Whether intentionally or not, you're always comparing other people to yourself."

"This was the case in Earth Spirit City that time, Li Ziyu was the same time, and even more so now, whenever there is a difference of opinion between the two of us, you have to strongly refute it, or correct me."

When Zuo Mingqiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"I don't think it's a bad thing, only by being competitive can you become stronger, I'm a Heavenly Master...... No, now I am no longer the Dao of Heavenly Master Mountain. ”

"As the strongest genius of the Daomen generation, I want to surpass Ji Chang back then and become the number one in the world, I don't think it's wrong."

"As for what you said later, maybe I sometimes speak too straight, but I think that's completely understandable, because I've only lost to you."

"Before I win back, you are stronger than me, the strong are respected, and your views are more correct than mine, but I don't agree with it, so I have to say it."

When Xu Mu heard this, he smacked his lips and said, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of thought, it's true that the strong in the cultivation world are respected, but not necessarily what every strong person says is right......"

"And Brother Zuo, you take winning and losing, winning and losing, right and wrong so seriously, don't you realize that this may be the Dao Heart that you haven't found?"

When Zuo Mingqiu heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't care about this. ”

Xu Mu was puzzled, and Dao Xin didn't care, so what do you care about?

Zuo Mingqiu looked at Xu Mu, the two looked at each other, and then there was suddenly a strong fighting intent in his eyes.

In the past six months, he and Xu Mu have traveled the rivers and lakes, and for the first time they have felt what Chen Changkong said, the world is big, and the four seas are home, and for the first time, they also felt what the rivers and lakes are.

And his cultivation has not fallen behind, the innate gossip is completely introduced, and he is proficient in the use of three thousand Dao methods, purely in terms of gossip, the gap between him and Xu Mu is infinitely close, and it is only a matter of time before he surpasses.

Moreover, he has also absorbed all the cultivation insights left by the Heavenly Master, and in the past six months, Zuo Mingqiu has felt that he is improving all the time, and the improvement is huge!

Zuo Mingqiu licked his lips, looked at Xu Mu and said:

"I've decided, before you go back to Great Xia, we'll have a fight."

"I don't want to fight you half to death and go back." When Xu Mu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and refused.

Although he still thinks that he can win, he has seen Zuo Mingqiu's progress in the past half a year, and under the premise of not using the holy relics, Zuo Mingqiu's strength has been infinitely close to him.

If he lets go of his hands and feet to fight, he will have to suffer a lot of injuries regardless of whether he wins or loses, how will he return to Great Xia at that time, and what if he encounters the enemy?

Zuo Mingqiu also seemed to realize this, frowned and asked, "It's really not suitable, then when do you say you will fight?" ”

Xu Mu smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing, there will definitely be a chance in the future." ”

"If you really want to find someone to fight, isn't that Great Zhou Dynasty Xuanbang very golden, and the third place Nalan Mucuo is also there, you go to him to learn from him."

Hearing this, Zuo Mingqiu snorted coldly, released the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and said lightly:

"The people of Xuanbang are not worthy of letting me make a move."

"If Zhou Yuan comes, I'm still a little interested."

Xu Mu was shocked when he heard this, and was just about to remind Zuo Mingqiu that this place was not in Tianshi Mountain but in Sword Pavilion, when several black shadows suddenly appeared and surrounded the two of them.

"Bold and fanatical, with wild words, dare to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" A big man wearing a square red scarf held a gold-ringed machete in his hand and shouted at Zuo Mingqiu's head, as did the other four big men.

Xu Mu sighed a little helplessly.

These five people are all in the three realms, and they don't seem to be weak, it's not difficult to solve it to be honest, but they are here to sit in the teleportation array, and there is no need to make things bigger!

"Everyone, I think there may be some room for negotiation in this matter, you put down the knife first, don't be impulsive."

Xu Mu took a deep breath, stopped in front of Zuo Mingqiu, and said to the five people in front of him with a smiling face.

The five men glared angrily, and the leader brandished a big knife and pointed at Xu Mu and shouted, "Hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

"In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you ask anyone who dares to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness Zhou Yuan, he has to pay the price today!"

When Xu Mu heard this, his smile froze.

And the other people on the mountain road plank road also surrounded at this time, and after a brief understanding of what happened, these monks from the major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty also watched the drama mockingly.

"These two are not Zhou people at first glance, and the people of the Hundred Ethnic Alliance are not so stupid, I guess, it should be from the Xia Dynasty." Above the mountain road, a young man in an aqua blue robe turned his head to look at his companion and said mockingly to Xu Mu and the others.

"His Royal Highness Zhou Yuan's sage is benevolent, and his talent shocks the past and the present, how can you two compare to things that don't know the height of the sky!"

Another woman dressed in luxury clothes with six-petal pink plum blossoms printed on her eyebrows also shouted in a cold voice.

Hearing this, Zuo Mingqiu squinted his eyes and looked up, and then directly recognized that this woman was a disciple of Plum Blossom Valley, a top Jianghu sect force in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Plum Blossom Valley only recruits disciples once every four years, and only twelve at a time, each of them will inherit the mantle of the previous generation of powerhouses in Plum Blossom Valley, and may even be directly cultivated as the heir of the valley master, and ascend to the sky in one step!"

On the plank road, a monk also recognized the woman's identity, so he hurriedly discussed it in private.

"Of the twelve female disciples recruited by Plum Blossom Valley this year, I heard that six of them have entered the Xuan List, and the third disciple is the strongest, ranking seventh on the Xuan List, I don't know who this one is in front of me?"

"I don't know, but I heard that Plum Blossom Valley has been very close to the imperial court recently, and it should be that he wants to marry the royal court, and the age and qualifications are indeed appropriate, so it's no wonder that this disciple of Plum Blossom Valley is so angry."

"Please don't be angry, they will get the punishment they deserve."

After the female disciple of Plum Blossom Valley spoke, a richly dressed and suave swordsman stood up with a gentle smile and called her the fourth little girl.

Obviously, the woman who spoke was the fourth person in the order among the twelve newly accepted disciples of Plum Blossom Valley.

"His Royal Highness Zhou Yuan works for the benefit of the people, and it really disgusts me to be talked about by people like you." Miss Mei glanced at Xu Mu in disgust, and then at the guards who were fierce and vicious, and surrounded him, threw away her handkerchief, and said casually.

"You should be the guards of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, then you don't need me to interfere in this matter."

"Miss Mei is right, we are the guards of the Seventh Prince." A big man with a meaty face smiled hideously, "We will educate this kid well, and even make him regret coming to this world!" ”

"Wait!"

Just when a few people were about to make a move, Xu Mu suddenly shouted in a deep voice, startling everyone.

The man was even more stunned for a moment, and then asked fiercely: "Boy, what are you waiting for, is it possible that you want to ask for mercy?" ”

Xu Mu shook his head, looked at the man with a slightly meaningful look in his eyes and asked, "You are the guard of the Seventh Prince?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "What's the matter, you kid is afraid?" ”

Xu Mu's face was strange, he turned his head to look at Zuo Mingqiu and asked, "The Seven Princes he said were the ones who robbed us of the inn in Taocheng?" ”

Zuo Mingqiu looked at Xu Mu, nodded and said seriously, "Yes." ”

"Robbing the inn?" The man was stunned for a moment, then frowned and muttered, "It seems that I heard that His Highness had a dispute with two boys in Taocheng, and even Commander An almost made a move, so it turned out to be the two of you?" ”

"Hehe, that's just right, the old and new accounts are settled, boy, do you have any last words!"

The five men smirked, their bodies were full of might, and the sword intent shrouded them, blowing the black hats of Xu Mu and Zuo Mingqiu.

When the others saw this scene, they all smiled and watched the play, and no one wanted to step forward to stop them.

In the Great Zhou, if you just offend the Seven Princes, then there is still room for maneuver, because the Seventh Princes are only concubines, and they have no real power in the court, so they can only rely on the strong and strong princes, but not everyone can provoke them casually.

And the third prince Zhou Yuan, although he is a rising star, whether it is in the army, in the court, or in the hearts of the people, he is a perfect existence.

Even if the third prince and the seventh prince are not in the same faction, but they are both royal, Xu Mu and Zuo Mingqiu are offended at the same time, that is a crime on top of a crime, and death is imminent!

"I'm sorry, I retract what I just said."

Xu Mu said expressionlessly, and then threw a punch forward.

"Boom!"

The man with a meaty face snorted, his eyes instantly covered with red bloodshots, and he flew upside down like a cannonball for dozens of meters, shattering a huge rock.

"Bang!"

The rock shattered, and the man's body was folded and embedded in it, and only his head could barely turn.

At the last moment of his life, he lowered his head and looked at his lower abdomen with a bloody hole, and then raised his head again, and looked at Xu Mu who was standing in place with a calm face in horror.

Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, he opened his mouth, as if to call for help, but the gurgling blood gushed out directly, washing his tongue and making him speechless.

Then he died.

Xu Mu looked calm and said:

"There's no room for maneuver in this matter."

The other four men reflected, and they turned around and were about to flee, and the others were also extremely shocked.

Killing the third-stage guard with one punch, it was obvious that Xu Mu's strength was no longer on the same level as them, they could only run.

But then, all four of them died.

Two black shadows flashed, and four blood holes appeared in the hearts of these four people, and then Xu Mu and Zuo Mingqiu withdrew their left and right hands at the same time.

Kill one with one punch, and four with four punches.

But at the end of the day, they only used the time of one punch.

After doing all this, Xu Mu looked up expressionlessly, looked at the woman with a pink plum blossom mark on her eyebrows, who was originally arrogant, but now her face was full of horror, and asked seriously, her voice was calm:

"This girl, do you want to die?"
