After more than ten consecutive days of wind and snow, Hidden Mountain City finally ushered in the first ray of sunshine in the cold winter. Several city guards took off their thick winter coats and cleared the snow at the city gate with shovels in their hands.

A young man with a scabbard in his hand and a hobbled step by step was walking towards the city gate. Several of the guards just glanced at him curiously, and then went back to their work.

The boy stopped at the gate of the city, patted the snow off his body, tidied up his clothes, and then went into the city.

It was only less than half a pillar of incense into the city that he was blocked by a team of people.

"Stop... You are Chen Jiuge?"

The leader is none other than Gu Changhe, the chief housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion.

"What's the matter with looking for the master?"

Chen Jiuge naturally recognized him and asked calmly.

"Of course there's something, my eldest son Xiao wants to invite you to the mansion as a guest!"

Gu Changhe said that he was a guest, but the seven or eight martial servants under him had already surrounded Chen Jiuge.

"Young Master Xiao... Which green onion is it? I don't know him, sir..."

Chen Jiuge ignored it at all, and wanted to continue moving forward with his scabbard on his hand.

"I'm afraid I can't help you...!"

Gu Changhe was just about to make a move, when a loud shout came from the other end of the street: "Who is so presumptuous in broad daylight?"

Gu Changhe turned his head and bowed without smiling:

"Gu Mou sees Lord Cheng!"

The person who came was Cheng Yue, and a team of officials who followed him.

"If Prince Xiao wants to invite Yue's subordinates to be guests, don't ask me whether Cheng agrees or not?"

Cheng Yue stepped forward slowly, and the invisible momentum made Gu Changhe have to lower his head and dare not look directly.

"Jingyun is hiding in your Xiao Mansion, I advise you to hand him over! Feed the medicine snake with the blood of a living person, kill innocents indiscriminately, and hurt my righteous son, he... Gotta die!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do what Master Cheng wants! Brother Jing will join the martial arts hall soon, and he will go to Wan'an City next year to serve Xiangye!"

Gu Changhe forcibly stood up straight, glanced at Cheng Yue expressionlessly, and then led a group of martial servants to retreat.

"Brother Zhang... What's wrong with him...?"

Chen Jiuge looked nervous and stared at Cheng Yue, waiting for his answer.

Cheng Yue was a little surprised, as if he had just sensed the strange aura on his body.

"Xiao Jiu, you better go back and see him yourself..."

Cheng Yue turned around, led the men and horses and walked back.

Chen Jiuge held the scabbard and followed behind...

... ...

Chen Jiuge had actually been mentally prepared for a long time, and when the guinea pig told him that the demon Jingyun appeared on that hillside, he had a bad premonition.

He thought that the devil would not dare to kill the official and provoke Cheng Yue, a powerhouse in the innate realm. Maybe he will make Brother Zhang angry, but at most it will make him suffer a little.

But he was wrong!

He hated himself so much, and in his short memory, the two people who were kind to him were affected by himself... One dead and one maimed!

"Jingyun... Gu Changhe... And the Xiao family, they all deserve to die, they all deserve to die...!"

At this time, Chen Jiuge's crying eyes were full of hatred and anger.

"Xiao Jiu, don't think about avenging me... You can't fight them!, and help me persuade Pu'er... He has been practicing so hard these days that he doesn't even listen to his father-in-law!"

Zhang Quan lay on the bed, his face full of tears, pleading bitterly.

"Brother Zhang... It's Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry for you... Your revenge should be avenged by Xiao Jiu. Don't worry, Xiao Jiu will never let Sister Pu'er interfere...!"

Chen Jiuge wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his face was resolute...

In the early morning of the second day, a young man in thin green clothes appeared at the door of the Xiao Mansion with a long knife in his hand.

"Jingyun dog thief... Ten days later, the young master will set up a ring in the city! When the time comes, I will cut off your dog's head and avenge the hunter's uncle, the three innocent lives of Liujiazhuang in the east of the city, and Brother Zhang..."

After the young man finished shouting, he threw the battle post to the martial servant at the gate of the Xiao Mansion and turned to leave.

The people of the rivers and lakes naturally follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, and Cheng Yue is an official body, so he is naturally bound by the laws of the dynasty. And Chen Jiuge is just an ordinary little servant who hasn't even had time to distribute the waist card, so he naturally doesn't have so many scruples.

Cheng Yue admired the recklessness and righteousness in this young man's bones, but he didn't think that he had the strength to fight with Jing Yun at the peak of the day after tomorrow. It was useless to persuade him for a long time, and in the end he could only throw him two cheats and a broadsword.

After all, Chen Jiuge had only learned martial arts for less than five months, and they were all basic martial arts. In the face of Jing Yun's light martial arts method that is not inferior to the powerhouse of the innate realm, I am afraid that I will be used as a live target...

One is "Light Feather Riding the Wind", which is not esoteric but difficult to achieve, and the other is "Thirteen Styles of Crazy Knife and Furious Slashing", which is not subtle and profound.

The black iron broadsword, except for the heavy hand, there is nothing special about it.

"It's a pity that it's only ten days..."

Cheng Yue sighed.

......

The battle of life and death came as promised.

After a few days of sunny days, the sky began to turn gray again. The sword-like north wind did not diminish the enthusiasm of the spectators under the ring of the hidden mountain city.

On the periphery of the crowd, some hawkers had already set up their stalls. It attracted a lot of people to come and watch, some began to pick and choose, and some began to bargain.

"Eldest sister, is it going to be the New Year?"

A little boy with pigtails, holding a rock sugar gourd in his hand, asked curiously about this sister who was holding him.

"It's still early for the New Year, and today is a martial arts competition. ”

Qian Qing'er handed over the little boy to the family next to him and ordered him to be taken back. Then he said to himself:

"This is a life-and-death fight, it will frighten the third brother..."

This so-called ring is just a stage used for singing during the New Year's holidays in Hidden Mountain City. It is said to have a history of nearly 200 years, and it is built of bluestone. It is three zhang long, more than two zhang wide, and less than one zhang high.

Halfway through the hour, under the ring, there was already a lot of people, and onlookers were talking.

"I heard that Jing Yun is a traitor to the Beast Sect, and he also uses the blood of living people to raise medicine snakes!"

"That's it, there are three lives in Liujiazhuang in the east of the city! and the righteous son of President Yue's head arrester has been abolished by him!"

"That little servant, I'm afraid I can't beat that devil! The Xiao family would actually shelter such a wicked person!"

"Shhhh Don't say it, the Xiao family is here..."

... ...

On the edge of the ring, Chen Jiuge whispered to Pu'er that he didn't know what he was talking about, and then the guinea pig jumped from his shoulder to Pu'er's arms.

At this moment, a figure swept through the crowd and flew into the ring.

"Heh... Oh, interesting... I can't imagine that even a little official would have the courage to challenge Jing! Killing you today is just to avenge my little black!"

Jing Yun sneered, his expression very disdainful.

"Jingyun dog thief, today the master swears to cut off your dog's head...!"

Chen Jiuge let out a loud shout, and then jumped into the ring lightly.

"To be ashamed... Hmph! No nonsense, Jing can let you make the first move. lest you die if you can't hold up a single move, it's too unsightly!"

Jing Yun drew his sword, although he said so, he didn't have the slightest carelessness.

Chen Jiuge was not in a hurry, and took out the broadsword and slashed it in the air. scolded while splitting:

"This knife is for your father, he shouldn't have raised a personal animal that is not a ghost or a ghost!"

Then he scolded:

"This knife slashed your mother, why didn't you strangle you to death on the spot when she gave birth to this animal..."

"You're looking for death...!"

Jingyun was finally provoked and made a move, a cold light quickly attacked, and the distance of three zhang came in an instant.

With a "bell", the sword was blocked.

The two sides quickly got into a fight, and the shot was all out.

On the ring, Jingyun walked like a snake, while Chen Jiuge, on the other hand, was defending more and attacking less. The two sides only made twenty moves, and Chen Jiuge played the thirteen styles of the Furious Wind Slash all over, but he could only support it hard.

It seemed that he felt that he had figured out the details of his opponent, Jing Yun's body began to get faster and faster, and the angle of his sword became more and more tricky.

Gradually, Jingyun began to gain an advantage in speed and dexterity.

Chen Jiu Ge dodged a vital blow to the chest, but he didn't dodge a sword that slashed his lower abdomen. Blocked a stab in the abdomen, but did not dodge the change of move to the thigh.

It's a pity that if the light feather riding the wind trick can be achieved in a small way, coupled with the ability talent, there may be a lot of strength. It's a pity that he has only studied for ten days, and he has only just learned a little bit.

However, he never expected that he would be able to slash the enemy with only his body and sword skills.

"It's time to get real!"

I saw that his arms shook, and his body instantly swelled. The clothes on the upper body were instantly torn apart and burst. The body was obviously a little taller, and the muscles in the whole body were agitated, and it was as strong as a brute bull.

Then he roared like a tiger and rushed at the enemy with his sword in both hands.

The sound of "bell" was accompanied by a spark. Jing Yun's right hand was sore, as if he had been electrocuted. That was the ability that Chen Jiuge had awakened ten days ago.

Chen Jiu Ge began to fight back, constantly waving the broadsword in his hand. There were more and more sword wounds on his body, although the wounds were not deep, but they looked bloody.

Gradually, Jing Yun's right hand seemed to become less flexible, and his shots became more and more cautious, avoiding the intersection of swords with each shot, and there was a faint momentum of being pressed and beaten.

"What's going on, why is Jingyun holding back?"

"Pharmacist Jing, why don't you finish that kid quickly, what are you rubbing?"

Xiao Sheng, the eldest son of the Xiao family in the audience, seemed to have lost his patience and began to urge.

Jing Yun didn't seem to be affected by Xiao Sheng's words, and still relied on his dexterous body to deal with it. Then see the right time, every time he makes a move, he will add a new sword wound to Chen Jiuge's body.

"It's time to give it a go!"

Chen Jiuge felt that if he continued to fight like this, he still had no chance of winning, and he began to only attack but not defend, and flaws appeared frequently.

Jing Yun seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the heart with a sword. The shot was as fast as lightning. And Chen Jiuge didn't dodge this blow, he could only abandon the knife and firmly hold the sword body with both hands.

Above the blade, electric sparks flashed.

Jing Yun couldn't dodge, the continuous and strong current brought severe pain and numbness to his right arm! He wanted to abandon the sword, but his right hand seemed to be attached to the hilt of the sword.

He quickly used his left finger to firmly tap his right wrist a few times, and finally separated his right hand from the hilt of the sword.

Just as he was stunned and neglected to take precautions, the black iron broadsword on the ground flew up on its own and slashed heavily at his right leg.

"Ahh Jing Yun was in unbearable pain for a while, took a few steps back, and half-knelt on the ground.

"What just happened, and why did the knife fly on its own?"

Someone in the audience was surprised.

"Air control, could it be that he is a master of the Innate Realm?"

Someone speculated.

"I didn't see any true qi released, I think it should be a divine skill!"

Some people said enviously.

"If it's really a miracle, why are you so embarrassed when you faced the enemy before?"

Others began to ask questions.

"What the hell are you doing so much, as long as you can hack that demon to death!"

A stout man responded excitedly, drawing a chorus of echoes from those around him.

"It's dangerous... If he draws his sword a little faster, just a little bit, and the master's life will be handed over to this ring!"

Chen Jiuge slowly pulled out the tip of the sword that had entered his chest, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and there was a hint of happiness!

Although this scenario has been reimagined countless times in my mind, the chance of success is only half the time.

His mental power perception is very triggered at a thought, but using mental power to control things requires accumulation, and the accuracy is not high. If you are distracted to control things during the battle, you are afraid that it will backfire and die faster.

With Jingyun's speed and caution, if he can't hit it in one hit, it will be even more difficult to deal with. And the explosion of mental power is also a big drain.

In the process of fighting the enemy this time, he was obviously able to sense the danger, but his body speed was obviously unable to keep up. If you don't fight for your life, I'm afraid you won't have the slightest chance of winning...

At this time, Jing Yun's right arm was stiff and paralyzed, and his right leg had been abolished. I could only pick up the broadsword with my left hand and half-kneel in the ring... He has lost the strength to fight again, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Chen Jiuge held the sword in his hand and slowly walked towards him. Just as he was about to stab his enemy, a figure flew into the ring.
