Chapter Twenty-Four: Summer Fire

After the wedding event, not only Xia Jiang, but almost most of the princes and princesses seemed to be inspired to start retreat and penance, and perhaps only then will they remember someone, that is, Xia Yan, who has been in retreat for two months. At the beginning, he was just careless to suffer under Xia Jiang, Xia Jiang still has no idea about his true strength, but now after two months of hard work, his strength has risen even more.

During this period, only the third prince Xia Huo knew what kind of penance Xia Yan was, and now even he was not sure what Xia Yan's strength was.

"You are very good, Xia Yan, turn all the shame into motivation, come out and kill Xia Jiang for me!"

Being in a secret cultivation place under his mansion, no one was present at this moment, he did not hide it in the slightest, and said, embedding an unknown thing in a giant sword. If Xia Jiang was present, he would not have recognized this sword, this was the original silver light sword, and now it has not only changed but also become bigger, and there are three grooved mechanisms in it.

Filling a groove, Xia Huo's eyes showed cruelty: "When the three magic weapons are all assembled, I have the potential to kill the monk level, hmph, Xia Jiang is just a small insect, it is not worth my own hands, but Xia Yun'er is different, it seems that she has reached the monk level, and I heard that this slut is really close to Xia Jiang......"

Coldly speaking, the summer fire with the weapon was loaded, and suddenly the silver light roared, only to see a few big trees not far away fall in response, if anyone can approach, they will find that the cut is as smooth as a mirror, and even the face of the viewer can be seen!

This random sword was already much more powerful than when it fought against Xia Jiang, and its power had obviously reached the level of a monk.

"Yes, this is the effect I expected, when all three of them are ready, Xia and Xia Lei will not be my opponents by then......" Xia Huo put away the silver light sword, swept towards the exit of this area, and looked far away: "Xia Xiong, even if you give me benefits, it's useless, I won't hand over the mansion, and I will never be soft again, unless that cheap thing is obedient, otherwise ......"

After speaking, Xia Huo came to the exit, and at this time, the coldness and viciousness on his face all dissipated, and was replaced by politeness and humility, like a gentleman.

An important person here is visiting today, and it is his second brother Xia Lei.

Hearing that Xia Huo had been practicing diligently for a month, Xia Lei wanted to see if this younger brother had cheered up, so he waited outside the cultivation ground for a while, and soon saw Xia Huo walking out of it.

"Second brother, I've kept you waiting, third brother should die!" Xia Huo appeared from the exit of the underground cultivation ground, and when he saw Xia Lei, he first pretended to be stunned, and then immediately knelt down to apologize.

Xia Lei seemed to know that Xia Huo would be like this, reacted very quickly, and immediately held it up, but looked at the other party's panicked look, and then let go: "Third brother, what happened last time, do you still blame the second brother for not being able to help you?"

"Where, the second brother is willing to come forward, the third brother is too late to be grateful, the third brother only hates himself for not having the ability, I didn't expect that I can't even beat the ninth brother, it's too embarrassing......" Xia Huo said, his face was full of shame, he didn't even have the slightest hatred, like a complete loser, he could only accept his fate and bow his head.

However, looking at Xia Huo like this, Xia Lei suddenly became angry, and he was about to scold, but after a closer look, he found that the other party's cultivation had reached the bottleneck of a cultivator and was about to break through to the level of a monk, so he remembered that the other party was really cultivating during this time.

Seeing this, he immediately said: "Third brother, you don't have to be discouraged, see that you have improved a lot now, proving that you have worked hard enough, if you fight with the ninth brother again, it will never be the same as last time, but ......" said, Xia Lei thought about it, "I heard that he has also been practicing penance during this time, and according to my observation, his magic weapon is extraordinary, presumably there may be someone behind him to help him, you can't be careless!"

Listening to what Xia Lei said, Xia Huo seemed to think about it, and nodded in agreement, but said: "It seems to be, but the ninth brother is a genius now, and I feel that even if I break through to the monk, I am not an opponent, so ...... I don't want the Ninth Princess anymore, I'm not worthy of her!"

What Xia Lei said was also to give Xia Huo hope, he didn't know much about Xia Jiang's situation, he was going to scold Xia Huo for being useless when he heard Xia Huo say this, but thinking of Xia Jiang's rapid changes, he had to reluctantly say: "Don't be too afraid of him, the real genius relies on his own strength, not on the magic weapon like the nouveau riche, as long as you continue to work hard, it's not that you don't want to get the ...... of the ninth sister."

Having said that, Xia Lei was not sure in his heart, if he was only slightly surprised by Xia Jiang's brilliance, then he was a little shocked by Xia Yun'er's appearance, even if he was now 100% strong and had the confidence to definitely challenge the eldest prince, but there was no guarantee that he would be able to defeat Xia Yun'er, the other party's veil not only covered his face, but also made him unable to see through.

It is precisely because of this that now he cares about Xia Jiang's strength very much, because if the two join forces in the future, it will be very unfavorable to the competition for his future kingship, he has a passion and looks up to his father Wang Xia Xiong, hoping that one day he can be the leader and make Xia Guo stronger!

A month ago, he met with his father and learned a secret, because of some circumstances, the Xia Kingdom is now in a difficult period, and a lot of resources and financial resources are needed, otherwise it may damage the image of the country, and Yan zhòng will lead to civil strife, which makes him understand the current situation of the Xia Kingdom, and seems to get a hint: The father may have the idea of entrusting him!

The future of a country must be entrusted to a responsible and capable person, and in contrast, he believes that there is no one better suited to lead the country than his eldest brother. This is not self-confidence, but the realization of the observation of your younger brothers, and really speaking, he doesn't even believe in the eldest brother, although the eldest brother is very good, but he lacks courage, even if he has the will of the people, it will be difficult to lead the Xia Kingdom to survive in this country that is eyed by the surrounding countries.

Thinking of the depths, Xia Lei didn't stay any longer, and immediately patted Xia Huo on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, don't be discouraged, practice hard, as long as you work hard, your father will see it." After saying that, he immediately took his leave.

"Yes, thank you for the teachings of the second brother, the second brother let me give you a ride, right?"

"No, I don't. ”

“……”

It wasn't until Xia Lei rode away on the Golden Lion Mount that Xia Lei's loser's expression changed, and he said in a low voice: "Xia Lei, you really hid your strength, and now this is your true strength, right?" It seems that I still underestimated you before, but you are at this level, and you will soon be surpassed by me!"

From a distance, Xia Huo saw that in the ordinary training ground of the palace, several sparring partners were practicing, and immediately greeted: "All sparring partners, you are all happy!"

Smiling slightly, Xia Huo walked over, and when several sparring partners saw this, they all stopped and immediately prepared for the test.

As a sparring partner, its duty is to always maintain the best condition, accompany the master to practice, or directly use it as a live target to test the power of the opponent's moves.

Xia Huo walked among the crowd, swept over, and found that all seven people were there, and said, "Yes, during this time, you have all made progress!"

Shi Yushi's big sparring partner hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the praise of the third prince, the brothers have indeed made a lot of progress, and they are ready to serve the adults at any time!"

"Very good! ...... then," Xia Huo said, picking up a broad-bladed sword on the side casually, and said, "Let this king see how much progress you have made, come on, let's go together!"

Belch!

Shi Yu was about to tell the sparring partners to disperse and pick one out to warm up the other party first, but he didn't expect the other party to be so direct: "Lord Wang, are you included?" He wanted to confirm.

"That's right, you go up with the six of them, and you have to do your best!" Xia Huo nodded.

I haven't experienced this kind of thing, and several sparring partners immediately looked at each other, but Shi Yu didn't hesitate, and immediately shouted: "You guys go over, surround the prince, and all perform tricks, don't let the prince down!"

Although he shouted like this, this Shi Zhen kept an eye on it, and said secretly: "I don't know how much his strength has improved, as long as I take a good measure, they will go all out, and it shouldn't threaten his life!" He was worried that the seven people would besiege and use a special move, and they would accidentally kill Xia Huo.

However, Xia Huo didn't look around, waited for several people to stand up, and didn't give a hint, and immediately waved the big sword, and the whole person rose into the sky.

Xia Huo swung his sword into the sky, which seemed simple, but it made the surrounding group of sparring partners only feel a huge and strong fluctuation attack, as if they had all entered the aura realm where only monks existed, and there was no shadow and intangible, which made people's movements blocked.

But having said that, at this moment, they didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and immediately yelled at each other, and all of them showed their tricks!

"Earth Slash!"

"Viper Cord!"

"Hungry Tiger Fist!"

"King Kong Legs!"

"The sword is gone!"

"Kill the Flower Finger!"

……

Almost at the same moment, the six sparring partners all played tricks, full of colors, and for a while, the space above the summer fire was completely locked, and six strong killing moves roared towards the center in different forms.

However, Xia Huo ignored it completely, and after jumping high with a huge momentum, he slashed directly at Shi Yu, the only one who had not yet made a move, in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, some of the sparring partners were suddenly a little sluggish, for fear of accidentally injuring Xia Huo, but then they saw that as the sword was completely cut out, a powerful sword qi fluctuation seemed to carry magic power, and it instantly drove the surrounding killing moves, changed direction, and rushed away with the attack target of the sword in Xia Huo's hand.

Due to the nature of the special move, several sparring partners were dragged to make the attack ineffective, while the attacks of the other sparring partners completely followed Xia Huo's blow and rushed towards Shi Zhen.

As soon as Shi Yu saw this posture, his face turned pale in an instant, and he didn't dare to have half a reservation, so he almost immediately went all out, and the invisible spear came out of the hole like a dragon and snake.

"Wild Dragon Roar!" Shi Yu shouted, the treasure gun in his hand shook, like a dragon's groan, and then suddenly raised up, like a giant dragon ascending to the sky, erupting with a stronger sound similar to a dragon's roar, and the momentum was extraordinary.

However, this "dragon" has just risen out, but only heard a click, the spear in his hand was directly split in half, the dragon died, a sword light did not decrease, penetrated, right in the shoulder, at the same time several other fluctuations also hit all parts of the body, the body immediately flew out, blood flowed like an infusion.

Seeing this situation, several sparring partners immediately panicked, but after Xia Huo landed, they didn't look at it and said: "Next time, whoever dares to be careless, Shi Yu is a role model, now he is a waste, within three days, one of you will be nominated to be the captain." ”

"Yes......"
