The rope tightened, and the dragon's struggle became weaker. Finally, a monstrous wave struck again, drowning the dragon and engulfing the heavens and the earth.

The long sword in Wu Daoming's palm fell to the ground, and his hair was scattered, looking like crazy, but his eyes were unprecedentedly bright, full of enthusiasm and desire for the future.

"I lost. In Wu Daoming's life, he has never taken these three words for granted and been so willing.

He Zhi's two tricks just now really made Wu Daoming see a brand-new path! a road that he had never imagined before, and he never even dared to think about!

Wu Daoming smiled at the corner of his mouth, and after saying the three words "I admit defeat", he actually laughed like a madman in front of the emperor, in front of many princes, nobles, and ministers.

In the laughter, tears seemed to slide down the corners of his eyes.

Laughing is laughing once you hear the avenue, knowing that there is a road ahead, and never cutting it off; crying is crying that you have not heard the road as soon as possible, and have gone the wrong way, although you have seen the avenue, you have no strength to go.

However, as long as the Tao still exists, then even if you do your best, what does it matter if you die nine times for a lifetime?

There were only three laughs and two tears.

Wu Daoming saluted He Zhi respectfully again, then picked up the long sword, and left the palace without looking back.

Opposite Wu Daoming, He Zhi also returned the salute respectfully. Whether Wu Daoming is He Zhi's enemy or not, or even whether he was fooled by He Zhi. But Wu Daoming is definitely a real swordsman, a true seeker with ideals. Such a person, even as an enemy, is just as awe-inspiring.

However, He Zhi and Wu Daoming are hello and I am good, and the contemporary Yanhou Dugu Kai over there is not good at all!

"What are you kidding? Admit defeat? Bastard! What are you kidding? Crazy! It's crazy!" Dugu Kai looked at Wu Daoming's back as he went out, and kept muttering to himself in his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

When Wu Daoming said the three words "I lost", Dugu Kai's mind was almost blank. After a while, when he came back to his mind a little, he felt a source of fear that almost suffocated him, like a monstrous wave that was about to swallow him!

Lost? The dignified Yanhou Mansion actually lost like this? In the martial arts performance in front of the emperor, he was only ranked last? As one of the fourteen families, the most noble bloodline of the Northern Wei Dynasty was actually at the bottom when performing martial arts in the palace?!

No! No way! I must be dreaming! It's a dream! A moment later, Dugu Kai jumped up as if he had suddenly been pricked by a needle.

"Bastard! Wu Daoming! Are you crazy? Kill him! Ben Hou ordered you to kill him! Did you hear it!" he yelled at Wu Daoming hysterically, but the latter didn't even look back.

Wu Daoming, the wind-chasing sword god, is not a house slave raised by Dugu Kai! As the great master of the consummation of integration and the owner of the second-grade bloodline, Wu Daoming and Dugu Kai themselves are on an equal footing.

For the sake of the past friendship between the two, Wu Daoming is willing to help Yanhou Mansion make a move in the martial arts performance in front of the emperor. But the Yanhou Mansion never had the right to order Wu Daoming.

From the very beginning, deliberately admitting defeat and falling to the last place to challenge the free faction was the result of Dugu Kai's insistence. Wu Daoming had admonished Dugu Kai several times, but Dugu Kai only saw the benefits that could be obtained by defeating the Loose Sect, but he turned a blind eye to the risks.

In the end, for the sake of friendship with Yanhou Mansion in previous years, Wu Daoming still went to war. The dignified Wind Chasing Sword God was about to fall to the last place in the martial arts performance in front of the Emperor, and took the initiative to challenge a little-known small sect!

For Wu Daoming, this is difficult for a strong man.

However, in this battle, Wu Daoming still did his best. In the end, he was defeated by He Zhi's trick full of "Taoist rhyme", Wu Daoming sighed to himself, and asked himself to have a clear conscience about Yanhou Mansion.

Hehe!

Suddenly there was a chuckle from the side. Dugu Kai immediately turned his head, and his face was distorted and roared again: "Who!

Dugu Kai looked around, but only saw that everyone had a smile on their faces. Everywhere he looked, no one made a sound, but the chuckle came from all directions, and it never stopped!

The sound of laughter filled Dugu Kai's eardrums, making him feel that the world was spinning, as if the whole world was full of deep malice.

"It's you! Are you laughing!" Dugu Kai's cheeks suddenly flushed, and he actually threw the wine glass in his hand towards a child of a family not far away.

The child of the family subconsciously let go, and the wine glass flew past the corner of his forehead and fell to the ground and shattered. When Dugu Kai saw that the disciple of the family had escaped, he was even more furious, and as soon as he stood up, he was about to pounce and fight.

But at this moment, a majestic shout sounded: "Yan Hou!"

This voice seemed to sound in the depths of Dugu Kai's soul, making him tremble involuntarily. Dugu Kai turned his head with difficulty, and his gaze fell on the higher floor, near the central position.

It was an old man with a white beard and white hair, who was not angry and arrogant.

"Qin ...... Qin Guogong. Dugu Kai was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, all the impulses and all the anger were imprinted in his eyes, and the old man disappeared in an instant.

"Yan Hou, self-respect. There was not the slightest anger in Qin Guogong's voice, but there was a kind of power that seemed to be irresistible.

"Yes...... Be. Dugu Kai nodded, sat down as if he had been pulled off his backbone, and fell down in his place.

Dugu Kai didn't dare to resist at all. Just because it was the Duke of Qin! The head of the six dukes and eight marquis, the strongest bloodline in the 14th family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Duke of Qin who was above 10,000 people under one person!

Losing such a key martial arts exercise may make Yanhou Mansion's ranking among the Northern Wei families plummet, from the top of the six princes and eight marquis to the middle and lower class of the family. But if you offend the Duke of Qin, it will make the Yanhou Mansion doomed!

"Hehe! Qin Guogong, Yan Hou is just a momentary gaffe, don't be too harsh on him. Gongsun Du, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who was high on the throne, glanced at the Duke of Qin and laughed softly.

"The old minister didn't dare. If Yan Hou makes a mistake, His Majesty will punish him. The old minister was just worried that Yan Hou Jun would lose his manners, so he just reminded him. Qin Guogong immediately got up and leaned over to the emperor and said.

"Qin Guogong has a heart. The old emperor smiled and nodded, and said no more. A storm seems to have subsided here. It's just that Yanhou Dugu Kai, who was once dominant, has never looked at it again.

Of course, the battle between He Zhi and Wu Daoming is indeed weird enough. Among the many officials and warriors present, there were not many who did not understand it at all.

There are even many people muttering in their hearts, thinking that Wu Daoming is not acting with He Zhi and pitting Yan Hou. However, when these people secretly glanced at the people with the highest seats among the martial artists, they all chuckled in their hearts. The original thought calmed down in an instant.
