Chapter 190: Reunion with Martial Arts (Part II)

"Hey, Ah Tian, don't be reluctant-" As soon as Xiao Qi heard that Xiao Tian wanted to fight one against two, he immediately said, "I admit that your martial arts have indeed improved a lot compared to before, but one against two is not for fun, Senior Brother Xiao Zhu and Senior Brother Xiao Yuchong's martial arts are both of the middle level in the villa." ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'm confident—" Xiao Tian said confidently.

"Since Ah Tian you dare to go to the sea, then Ah Zhu and I will not have any reservations, it depends on how much you Ah Tian has improved in the past year. Xiao Yuchong also said with a smile.

"Thanks to the two senior brothers, I will do my best. Xiao Tian still replied politely, and then pulled out the plum blossom sword at his waist.

Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yu rushed to see the plum blossom sword in Xiao Tian's hand, which was not very long but very delicate, and thought that Xiao Tian's experience outside this year must not be simple, so they didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and pulled out their swords one after another, and immediately prepared to fight.

"Senior Brother Xiao Bo, what do you think?" Xiao Bo looked at the situation of Xiao Tian and his disciple at the top of the steps, and a disciple next to him watched Xiao Tian make a lot of progress, so he asked, "Ah Tian, he really didn't boast, can he fight one against two?" Although Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong's martial arts are only of a medium status in the villa, it is still difficult for the two to deal with together——"

Xiao Bo looked at Xiao Tian below with a smile, then nodded and said, "It's hard to entangle the words of two people...... But I believe in Ah Tian, and when he returns to the villa today, I think he has the confidence and determination to win Master's appreciation again. What's more, when he was competing with Aqi just now. It used the peerless 'Dou Zhuan Xing Shift' of Xiao Family Villa. There are very few people in the villa who know this trick, except for the master, only me and Xiao Wuzhong are familiar with it. Xiao Tian's original martial arts foundation was so poor. Now that he can use it flexibly, you can see that his progress is extraordinary, maybe in another year or two, we will not necessarily be his opponents. ”

"Is it that exaggerated?" the disciple next to him asked again.

"I don't know, I just have this hunch......" Xiao Bo said, and then glanced at Su Jia, who was silently watching behind Xiao Tian, and then muttered softly. "Ah Tian actually brought such a beautiful girl back, and that girl would not follow Ah Tian for no reason...... Don't look at her beauty, from her unusually firm eyes. I bet this girl must not be simple......" Xiao Bo kept looking at Su Jia, thinking that Xiao Tianzhi would have made so much progress in the past period of time, maybe it would be related to Su Jia.

"That's right. Senior Brother Xiao Bo. You just said Xiao Wuzhong......" The disciple suddenly mentioned again, "Didn't he have a little conflict with his master, and left the villa some time ago, didn't he?"

After Xiao Bo heard this, he seemed to have a hurdle in his heart, and he always had a feeling that he couldn't speak. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Bo slowly spoke: "Xiao Wuzhong's matter...... Hey, as the son of the ancestor of the previous head Xiao Rencong, he could have done something for the villa. But the master seems to say that he is arrogant. The eye is high and the hand is low, and it is not suitable to inherit the position of the next head. So he was angry with his master for a long time. Since Master has always taken a fancy to me, and I have become one of the candidates for the next head, Xiao Wuzhong seems to have some grudges against me......"

"But Xiao Wuzhong left the villa, where did he go?" the disciple asked again.

Xiao Bo thought for a moment, and then continued to say softly: "According to Master, it seems that he went to some Lingguan City, and now he has settled there, and he hasn't returned to the villa for a while. ”

"Lingguan City, which is a small county near Bianliang City, has close ties with the army of the Mengyuan court in Bianliang...... Where will Senior Brother Xiao Wuzhong go?" the disciple was even more puzzled.

Xiao Bo closed his eyes and hesitated for a long time, as if he was not sure whether he should say it or not. Immediately, Xiao Bo muttered softly: "I'll tell you, but you must not mention it casually in front of outsiders......"

"Don't worry, senior brother, tell me......," the disciple added.

Xiao Bo opened his eyes and said softly, "Anyway, it's just speculation at the moment...... Master suspects that Xiao Wuzhong had dealings with the Mongols in Bianliang and intended to take refuge in the Mongol Yuan court......"

"What?" the disciple was startled, but he didn't dare to speak out loud, and then lowered his voice even more quietly, "Senior Brother Xiao Wuzhong...... Defect to the Mongols?"

"Master's suspicions are not entirely unreasonable. The most worrying thing is that you still remember the dozens of copper cannons that were originally stored in the cold cave in the back mountain of Xiaojia Villa, right?" Xiao Bo asked rhetorically.

"Of course I remember, it was when the disciples of the villa went with Zhu Yuanzhang to crusade against Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and they were captured. In order to keep this secret, Zhu Yuanzhang specially made our Xiaojia Villa a place to hide these seizures......" The disciple said again, "But didn't you say later that the copper cannon disappeared from the villa for no reason? ”

Xiao Bo paused for a moment, and then said: "But Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army didn't even greet us, and they didn't even take it under our noses, which seems too strange." Therefore, the master wondered if there were other people in the mountain villa who were familiar with the terrain and quietly transported these bronze cannons every now and then without the attention of all the disciples......

"You mean, those bronze cannons were carried away by Xiao Wuzhong unknowingly?" The disciple listened to Xiao Bo's words, and suddenly said a little nervously.

"It's not clear, it's just Master's suspicions......" Xiao Bo first said softly, and then said, "Okay, Xiao Wuzhong's matter is here, you must not publicize this matter, you know?"

The disciple replied, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Xiao Bo, I promise I won't say it—"

Xiao Bo nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze back to the swordsmanship duel that Xiao Tian, Xiao Zhu, and Xiao Yuchong were about to start.

The sword competition in Xiaojia Villa is, of course, the Xiao family's swordsmanship. Although it is said that Xiao Tian will only be the first type of the Xiao family's swordsmanship until now, "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky". It seems that he has no ability, but since Xiao Tian dares to play one against two so confidently, then he is still prepared. I saw that the two sides did not seem to have the intention of preemptively. After the three of them drew their swords, they didn't make a move for a long time, but the pace under their feet slowly circled. Just now, Xiao Tian defeated Xiao Qi without much effort, and also used Xiao Family Villa's peerless "Dou Zhuan Xingxing", abandoning the gaze that was not in his eyes at all a year ago, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong became extremely cautious, and their eyes kept staring back and forth at the sword in Xiao Tian's hand and the steps under his feet. Don't dare to be sloppy.

And Xiao Tian is not in a hurry, after all, he is one against two, and if he strikes first, it is very likely that it will be unfavorable to him. So Xiao Tian didn't want to strike first. After all, I haven't seen him for a year, and it is unknown what has become of his original junior brother's martial arts, and Xiao Tian does not dare to make a move easily.

Xiao Zhu saw that the two sides were in a stalemate for a long time without making a move. Then he gestured to Xiao Yuchong beside him. Try it out for yourself. So, Xiao Zhu's pace leaned forward slightly, and Xiao Yuchong and the two of them went back and forth slightly, wanting to attack tentatively.

After all, they were all senior brothers who were once better than him, Xiao Tian didn't dare to slack off, his eyes were fixed, and the hand holding the plum blossom sword was also a little trembling, but his nerves were extremely nervous.

Xiao Zhu saw that Xiao Tian didn't make a move. So he finally couldn't help but attack first. The long sword in Xiao Zhu's hand was smart, and the fifth style of the Xiao family's swordsmanship was "Hongmeng Ink Rain". With the scattered sword light, it came faintly.

Xiao Tian himself doesn't know more about the Xiao family's swordsmanship, but he has seen it in the Xiao family villa, and he also knows a little about the pros and cons of this move. Xiao Tian must have been divine, first took a few steps back, and used the "Dou Zhuan Star Shift" to open the way of the sword. Then he raised his sword and looked for an opportunity to counterattack.

The sword speed of "Hongmeng Ink Rain" is not fast, but the sword path is extremely erratic, as if it gives people a feeling of hidden murder in the haze of smoke and rain. Although Xiao Tian's "Dou Zhuan Star Shift" can theoretically offset all the martial arts paths in the world, the "Hongmeng Ink Rain" itself is very erratic, and even if Xiao Tian uses this trick, he still can't figure out Xiao Zhu's routine.

"It's on fire!" Suddenly, Xiao Zhu shouted, as if he had found Xiao Tian's flaw, and the fastest sword light that flew out of nowhere instantly came out of the "misty rain" and headed straight for Xiao Tian. Since he was just trying his skills, Xiao Zhu was not ruthless, and the direction in which the sword light flew was only on the back of Xiao Tian's plum blossom sword.

However, Xiao Tian was not nervous at all, knowing the details of the trick of "Hongmeng Ink Rain", he seemed to have guessed it a long time ago. So, Xiao Tian was still very calm, watching the sword light fly by, Xiao Tian's feet changed smartly...... Suddenly, Xiao Tian's whole person's steps became light and moving, and a few horizontal crossings dodged this sword light.

Originally, it was just a simple dodge, but Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong were taken aback, and the other Xiao family disciples who were watching were no exception - this step was the "Lingyun Step" of the Xiao Family Villa.

The horizontal "Lingyun Step" shuttles back and forth, can form an unpredictable body, although this move "Lingyun Step" in Xiaojia Villa can only be regarded as a very ordinary martial arts, many disciples will also, but want to be flexible and familiar, and even make it a wonderful pen in the martial arts game, without a solid martial arts foundation and actual combat experience is impossible to reach.

However, Xiao Tian seemed to have mastered this basic footwork, and after seeing that "Lingyun Step" easily dodged Xiao Zhu's sword, Xiao Zhu had to reposition, taking advantage of the wide range of attacks of "Hongmeng Ink Rain" to constantly put pressure on Xiao Tian. However, Xiao Tian used the "Lingyun Step" calmly, no matter how Xiao Zhu wielded the sword light, Xiao Tian could easily dodge it without a trace of damage.

In fact, Xiao Tian also saw through it, although the attack range of "Hongmeng Ink Rain" is very wide, the biggest drawback is that the oppression is not enough. As long as it is in the constantly changing movement war, the "Hongmeng Ink Rain", which is not fast, will not play any role at all, so Xiao Tiancai thought of using this "movement" of constantly changing his body and using the lightness of the "Lingyun Step" to completely make the "Hongmeng Ink Rain" lose its original role and make it completely abolished.

Xiao Zhu attacked and attacked, and seemed to see this, he also knew that "Lingyun Bu" was used as a disciple, and if he didn't have the kind of martial arts with a strong impact to defeat the enemy in one move, it was useless to take him at all.

On the other side, Xiao Yuchong was also surprised by Xiao Tianneng's ability to use the "Lingyun Step" so perfectly. However, Xiao Tian evaded Xiao Zhu's pursuit and moved to a place away from him, and Xiao Yuchong didn't want to waste this opportunity. Seeing that Xiao Tian was able to "play" so calmly, he was a good disciple in the villa. Xiao Yuchong also knows that the current Xiao Tian is no longer the Xiao Tian of the "bottom worm" of a year ago, so this time he can't underestimate the enemy anymore.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yuchong, who knew the characteristics of "Lingyun Step", was really very targeted this time, seeing Xiao Tian's "Lingyun Step" constantly using false footwork in the position, Xiao Yuchong raised his sword and rushed. The extremely impactful "Sword Red Rushing to the Sky" in the Xiao family's swordsmanship, a sword light with strong lethality, swept out of the ground. "Whoosh-" A sharp sword roar came out, heading straight towards Xiao Tian's waist.

"Ah Tian beware-" Xiao Qi on the side knew that this move "Sword Red Rushing to the Sky" was not small, and Xiao Tian, who had just come back, might be a little dangerous, so he reminded loudly.

But today's Xiao Tian is no longer the same. The combat experience is also very rich. Xiao Tian caught a glimpse of Xiao Yuchong's movements one step earlier, and then he took a reflexive move to "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky" and connected it hard. "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky" is the first style in the Xiao family's swordsmanship, and the impact of the sword qi is definitely not as good as the "Sword Red Rushing to the Sky", but if the internal force of the recruiter is strong enough, it is not impossible to block it back.

The two sword lights touched the ground, and with a crisp internal force collision, there were suddenly several more thin and deep sword marks several zhang long on the ground where the two swords intersected. Xiao Tian really blocked it this time. It is conceivable that Xiao Tian's internal strength has far surpassed Xiao Yuchong's. Xiao Yuchong was also secretly taken aback. Then he couldn't help but say: "I actually used the basic move of 'Sword Qi Breaking the Sky' to block it, Ah Tian, how much has your internal strength improved in the past year?"

"If you want to know, come again-" Xiao Tian said with a smile, and then cast the "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky", thundering and lightning, with the roar of the sword qi breaking through the sky, and rushing towards Xiao Yu quickly.

Xiao Yuchong was still stunned for a long time about the scene just now, and he didn't prepare in time, Xiao Tian's sword came over, and he couldn't resist it with all his strength, and he would definitely be swept back after a while.

Just at the last moment, Xiao Zhu, who had been in the position for a long time just now, came sideways to protect him, and as soon as the sword qi gathered, the fourth style of the Xiao family's swordsmanship, the "Purple Cloud Sword Technique", came out, and the swordsmanship with defensive internal force wanted to block Xiao Tian's sword with strong internal force first.

However, the corners of Xiao Tian's mouth smiled slightly...... Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Tian suddenly turned around just as the tip of the sword was about to reach the back of Xiao Zhu's sword. Not only that, the "Lingyun Step" under Xiao Tian's feet was displayed again, and the whole person's body leaned to one side, disappearing directly from Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong's eyes, and the whole person instantly shifted to the back of the two.

Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong were taken aback, he couldn't believe that Xiao Tian, a guy who couldn't do light skills, would have such a smart and light body. But Xiao Yuchong also has experience, watching Xiao Tian suddenly flash behind, Xiao Yuchong didn't think about it, and slashed horizontally behind him with a sword in his right hand, and the sixth style of the Xiao family's swordsmanship, "Sword Wind Broken Flowers", accompanied by the scattered sword qi, quickly slashed towards Xiao Tian who was sneaking up behind him.

But even more unexpected...... Xiao Tian was still a feint attack this time, he went around the back of Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong, but he didn't even raise his sword. Xiao Tian also expected that Xiao Yuchong would come with such a move, so Xiao Tian didn't make a move, but continued to change his pace and bypassed it again.

This time, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong were already dizzy, although the two were standing back to back, but at this time, facing Xiao Tian who was in a fast shadow, they were both very worried that Xiao Tian would appear in front of them unconsciously.

Sure enough, just for a moment, Xiao Tian still flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu was taken aback for a while, and before he could raise his sword to fight back, he was hit in the shoulder by Xiao Tian's "Zhenwang Fist".

The penetrating power of the "Zhenwang Fist" is extremely strong, coupled with Xiao Tian's different internal force from the past, this punch went down, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong, who were standing back to back, screamed at the same time, and then fell backwards.

The outcome was already very clear, and Xiao Tian easily defeated Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong, who were "two swords combined". Xiao Tian smiled, then walked in front of Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuchong, who had fallen, and slowly helped them up and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that the shot just now was a little heavier......"

"It's okay, it's because we're too light on the enemy...... Xiao Zhu laughed softly, "But to be honest, Ah Tian, your martial arts have really improved too much, Brother Yu Chong and I are not your opponents combined, and losing to you can be regarded as convincing!"

The senior brothers smiled at each other in front of each other, and it was relatively satisfactory to meet again with martial arts.

The surrounding disciples also became happy when they saw Xiao Tian's brilliant performance - this time Xiao Tian returned to the villa, it was definitely deserved.

Su Jia watched Xiao Tian's performance on the side, and secretly smiled in his heart: "Hmph, it is said that the disciples of Xiao Family Villa are the most potential, and now it seems to be really good." It seems that Ah Tian, you're the 'bottom worm', but the one with the greatest potential......"

Xiao Qi saw Xiao Tian's performance, and couldn't help but praise him: "Ah Tian, you are really amazing, I believe that Master will definitely not drive you out of the villa again this time, and you can be with us forever in the future!"

Xiao Tian smiled and didn't say anything for the time being.

At this time, another disciple suddenly came and said, "Or, let's compete with Ah Tian, our most powerful Senior Brother Xiao Bo, to see how powerful Xiao Tian is-"

"Favor, Senior Brother Xiao Bo, you should also come to compete with Ah Tian—" Someone else joined in the fun.

Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Bo standing on the stairs with two eyes, this "goal" that he had always wanted to surpass when he was in Xiaojia Villa, and his heart suddenly became nervous.

Xiao Bo was embarrassed to say anything, if he just had a fight with Xiao Tian, it would be fine. So, Xiao Bo smiled and nodded, as if he was going to prepare to go down the ladder and compete with Xiao Tian.

However, at this time, the audience fell silent. Everyone's expressions also changed suddenly-behind Xiao Bo, another person came......

Xiao Tian was originally full of anticipation to face off with his senior brother Xiao Bo, but when he saw the person behind Xiao Bo, his expression immediately became serious.

The person who came was none other than Xiao Juxian, the head of Xiaojia Villa and one of the Seven Heroes of Martial Arts...... (To be continued......)
