Chapter 225: The Final Break (I)

Outside the city, the weather suddenly became much more gloomy than in the morning, although it was not completely obvious that it was going to rain, but the clouds and low pressure always gave people a dull sense of gloom......

In Lingguan City, the banks of the Xicheng River are still rising with misty black smoke - the smoke of the cannon fire from the ruins has not receded. There are also the Mengyuan soldiers who have come over, and they are still nervously dealing with the mouth of the river bank after the fierce battle, and the sound of the continuous shouts of soldiers and the broken remains of the copper cannon comes from the west bank, filling the air with a little blood, bringing people a kind of desolation and fear from time to time.

Just a few hours ago, Su Jia was still fighting fiercely with Meng Yuanqian's army here, and after a few hours, the tension here still hasn't completely subsided, and you can even smell the smoke of the discarded copper cannon. The soldiers and guards were busy, with carriages and reinforcements constantly shuttling, and almost all the attention of the Mongolian army was focused here at this moment. In the near future, when Wang Dasheng feels from Bianliang City to Lingguan City, it is very likely that there will be another big operation......

Xiao Wuzhong's residence......

In the hall of the house, the servants up and down were in a hurry to carry things, and looking like this, Xiao Wuzhong seemed to be in a hurry to leave here.

"Hurry up, move quickly-" Xiao Wuzhong stood in front of the hall and shouted hurriedly, looking at his appearance, he seemed to be worried about something now.

At this time, one of his closer guards walked up to Xiao Wuzhong's side, and then asked, "Lord Xiao, you have moved away from Lingguan City now...... Is it really suitable?"

"What's suitable or inappropriate?" Xiao Wuzhong replied anxiously, "It won't be long before." Maybe the people from Xiaojia Villa will come. Xue Cui has been rescued by them, and the copper cannon has also been destroyed by them, am I still sitting here waiting to die? Are they being threatened in turn?"

"But General Wang is about to rush to Lingguan City, isn't it?" the guard asked again, "As long as General Wang comes, it will always be those disciples of the Xiao family, no matter how capable they are, they won't dare to mess around......"

"Wait now, when will it be?" Xiao Wuzhong continued to say impatiently, "It will take some time for General Wang to come here. There's no way I'm going to sit still here and wait...... Now I will go out of Lingguan City first, go to Bianliang to hide for a while, and wait for General Wang to come. Ask Bian to help greet you. When General Wang has figured out the matter here and the limelight has passed, I will borrow the matter of the ten bronze cannons to accommodate General Wang and return to Lingguan City. When the time comes, it will be the upper hand. Or us. Hmph, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, and when I come back, Xiaojia Villa is still mine......" When Xiao Wuzhong finally said this, a hideous expression appeared on his face.

"What the lord said, what he said was ......" The guard glanced at Xiao Wuzhong's expression and felt a little frightened. After saying a word hastily, he retreated timidly.

"Hurry up. The movements give me a little sharpness-" Xiao Wuzhong shouted anxiously again.

I don't know when, a chill suddenly came from Xiao Wuzhong's body. Xiao Wuzhong was subconsciously nervous for a while, always feeling that someone was suddenly staring at him. Out of weakness, Xiao Wuzhong looked around, and there were only people from his own family shuttling back and forth everywhere.

At first, Xiao Wuzhong felt that he was thinking too much, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But not long after, the chill of this depression became heavier and heavier, and Xiao Wuzhong didn't see any strange people on either side, until finally, Xiao Wuzhong set his eyes on the door of the hall in front of him.

There were no strange people at the door of the hall, and the subordinates who shuttled back and forth were just passing by in Xiao Wuzhong's eyes. But that sense of oppression has not subsided, but has become stronger and stronger, Xiao Wuzhong stared at the front mouth, closed his eyes slightly, as if to calm his nervous heart, and seemed to be waiting for something......

After a long while, the depression in his heart reached its strongest, Xiao Wuzhong opened his eyes again, and there was suddenly one more person in front of him. This man stood upright in front of the door, holding a long sword that was not too big or small, and the most impressive thing was that there was a slender knife mark on the left side of his face. His eyes seemed to be murderous, staring at Xiao Wuzhong opposite. Xiao Wuzhong gasped in his heart, who could it be if it wasn't Xiao Tian?

Just when Xiao Wuzhong was about to leave home, an "unknown person" with a long sword suddenly came to the door, thinking that some enemy was looking for him, and the servants who were still busy in the courtyard hall saw it, and they all screamed and then fled in all directions.

Xiao Tian didn't care about the subordinates who fled everywhere, he only had Xiao Wuzhong in front of him in his eyes now.

Xiao Wuzhong's eyes must be bright, and he was sure that the person standing in front of him was Xiao Tian, the reason why he felt cold in his heart just now was that he didn't expect the people from Xiaojia Villa to come so quickly.

Xiao Wuzhong also saw only Xiao Tian alone, so he asked with a smile: "Yo, didn't you say that the disciples of the Xiao family are coming, why are you the only one who came?"

"It's enough for me to come alone-" Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Wuzhong with hatred in his eyes, and bit word by word, "Hmph, Xiao Wuzhong, at this juncture, do you want to run for your life?"

Xiao Wuzhong glanced at Xiao Tian, and when he saw Xiao Tian holding a long sword, he seemed to understand something, and then asked first: "Look at you like this, you don't look like you're here to negotiate......

"What else is there to talk about with you?" Xiao Tianyi said in a righteous manner, "Xiao Wuzhong, you not only betrayed the master, but also defected to the Mengyuan court, became the enemy of the master, and even threatened the master in turn, which is an unforgivable crime! Now that the bronze cannon in Xicheng has been destroyed, you still want to escape......

"It seems that the female thief this morning really has something to do with the people of your Xiao Family Villa......" Xiao Wuzhong saw that Xiao Tian was alone, but he was not very afraid, and then asked, "I said before, everything I did was for the future of Xiao Family Villa, as for what you think of your rotten ancestral teachings, I don't care." Moreover, now that I am a member of the Mengyuan Imperial Court, you are clearly here to take my life now, so you are not afraid of endangering the Xiaojia Villa, which you respect the most?"

Xiao Tian raised his right hand holding the plum blossom sword, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Xiao Wuzhong, and then said: "Just like the master said, since he drove me out of the Xiao Family Villa, I am no longer a disciple of the Xiao Family Villa, so I came completely in my own name to get rid of you, a great rebel!"

"Just you?" Xiao Wuzhong laughed back. "If Xiao Bo comes, I may still be afraid of three points, you ...... Hum. Do you know why Master kicked you out of the villa? It is because you have always been the 'bottom worm' in the villa, and you are not motivated in martial arts, which has ruined the reputation of the Xiao family villa. In this comparison, my approach is to help Xiao Family Villa win its reputation, and you are ruining your reputation, do you think we are even right and wrong?"

"No, you don't know the reason why Master just left Xiao Family Villa back then......" Xiao Tian said with a stern face. "Like you, I once had the desire to contribute to the Xiao Family Villa, and our father was the same, who instructed Master to educate us strictly in the future. But Master used to be too indulgent to you. Your ambition is inflated, but now you are doing such a rebellious thing as going against your master and taking refuge in the imperial court. Taking you as a warning, Master resolutely drove me out of the villa in order to prevent me from following in your footsteps. Let me not be reluctant to be a bird......"

"Shut up—" Xiao Wuzhong heard Xiao Tian mention his father. immediately retorted loudly, "My father used to be the head of the dignified Xiao Family Villa, and your father was just a tree craftsman who didn't know anything about martial arts, what qualifications does your father have to compare with my father?"

"My father is not qualified to ......compare with your father," Xiao Tian replied calmly at first, and then looked at Xiao Wuzhong opposite with resolute eyes, "But they are all fathers under Jiuquan, and your father may never have dreamed that you, as the son of the head of Xiaojia Villa, would never have dreamed that you, as the son of the head of Xiaojia Villa." Now he has become a traitor who deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors!"

"Enough, you 'bottom worm' of Xiaojia Villa. You are not qualified to ask me for advice here!" Xiao Wuzhong seemed to be completely enraged by Xiao Tian, he also looked at Xiao Tian with murderous eyes, and said angrily, "Xiao Bo didn't come with you, which means that you came alone, right?

After speaking, Xiao Wuzhong's side first pulled out the long sword in the case hall behind him, and rushed straight towards Xiao Tian.

Xiao Wuzhong, as the son of the former head of Xiaojia Villa, is naturally superior in martial arts. It can be said that in Xiaojia Villa, except for Xiao Bo's accident, no disciple dares to defeat Xiao Wuzhong with great confidence, and even the peerless martial arts 'Dou Zhuan Xingxing', which few people in the gang know, Xiao Wuzhong is also one of them.

Xiao Tian dared to come over alone to fight Xiao Wuzhong, and naturally knew Xiao Wuzhong's strength. However, Xiao Tian did not retreat, lifted the plum blossom sword, tiptoed on both feet, but also raised the sword to meet it.

"Bang-" There was a crisp sword sound in mid-air, and Xiao Tian and Xiao Wuzhong changed positions in mid-air, and each leaned to the opposite side.

But it seems that Xiao Wuzhong's internal force is indeed above Xiao Tian, just now Xiao Wuzhong's long sword flicked, it seems to be soft, but the oppressive force is full, Xiao Tian and his sword, obviously feel a little powerless, after the sword, he also leaned too much, and almost did not stand firm after landing.

After Xiao Wuzhong landed, he saw that Xiao Tian was a little unbalanced, and said with a smile: "Hmph, you 'bottom worm', your martial arts are still so bad, you still want to kill me just because of this?"

Xiao Tian didn't pay much attention to Xiao Wuzhong's words, after all, the sword he had just now was just a temptation, and he didn't use any strength. However, this time, Xiao Tian did not give Xiao Wuzhong a chance to adjust, and struck first, and the person followed the sword to kill again, and the sword blade suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder, and roared away - the first style of the Xiao family's swordsmanship, "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky", was killed, with the momentum of breaking through the clouds, and went straight to Xiao Wuzhong's chest.

Although Xiao Wuzhong's martial arts are not weak, he does not dare to make rash judgments after not competing with others for a long time, even in the face of Xiao Tian, who he thinks is poor in martial arts. Therefore, Xiao Wuzhong did not deliberately fight with the sword this time, but gathered his hands together and used the peerless "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift" of Xiaojia Villa.

Xiao Wuzhong's internal strength is not shallow, and the internal force of "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift" is naturally much stronger than Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian's aggressive "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky" was about to arrive, and Xiao Wuzhong's "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift" deflected Xiao Tian's sword blade, and this move was completely out of the air.

It's not over, Xiao Wuzhong saw the flaw in Xiao Tian's attack, and took advantage of the situation to free up one hand, and a move of "Thunder Fist" directly attacked Xiao Tian's abdomen.

However, today's Xiao Tian has long been different from the past, and he can deal with the enemy's tricks freely. I saw that Xiao Tian's face was calm, his right hand was still maintaining the posture of striking forward with the sword, and his left hand also used the "Dou Zhuan Star Shift", which offset Xiao Wuzhong's move "Thundering Fist".

Xiao Wuzhong's fist path was completely offset. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that a "bottom worm" like Xiao Tian would actually be able to "fight the stars" such a peerless martial arts, and use it so skillfully. And Xiao Wuzhong thinks that his fist power is not bad. Xiao Tian was able to maintain the posture of the sword blade without changing his face, and he was able to completely offset his "Thundering Fist" with just one hand, which was just something that Xiao Wuzhong couldn't imagine at all.

But before Xiao Wuzhong could react, Xiao Tian had already changed his moves. I have been practicing martial arts with Su Jia for so long before, and whenever Xiao Tian uses "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift", Su Jia can always use different methods to deal with it dexterously, and it seems that he has participated in some weaknesses of "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift". In time. Xiao Tian also knew some of the drawbacks of "Dou Zhuan Xingxing".

Sure enough, Xiao Tian saw Xiao Wuzhong's fist path clearly, and now his sword edge path. Xiao Wuzhong was just resisting with one hand's "Dou Zhuan Xing Xing". No matter how strong the internal force is, the internal force of one hand is far less than that of two hands. Xiao Tian knew very well that according to the principle of "fighting and turning stars", the recruiter used his own internal force. Let it rotate evenly with your own internal force. In this way, the internal force of the other party is controlled and the other side is deflected. Xiao Tian took a fancy to this, thinking of the bits and pieces of his previous duel with Su Jia, Xiao Tian's eyes were certain, and then he turned the plum blossom sword in his hand along the direction of Xiao Wuzhong's original internal force.

Since Xiao Wuzhong is one hand, Xiao Tian's sword blade can completely get rid of Xiao Wuzhong's internal force control. Xiao Wuzhong first watched Xiao Tian spin the sword edge like this, and he didn't know what Xiao Tian wanted to do. Not long after, Xiao Wuzhong couldn't help but feel that the internal force in his left hand seemed to become extremely disordered. He couldn't control the rhythm, but was carried away by the rhythm of Xiao Tianjianfeng's rotation. Xiao Wuzhong only came to his senses at this time. This is Xiao Tian trying to get rid of his internal force.

Xiao Wuzhong couldn't hold it with one hand after all, Xiao Tian saw the opportunity that Xiao Wuzhong was not ready, and used his newly learned "Purple Cloud Sword Technique" to suddenly strike a blow in front of Xiao Wuzhong.

The strong sword qi internal force rebounded like a barrier. Xiao Wuzhong knew that if he was in a stalemate here any longer, he would definitely be hit hard, so he simply let go of the "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift", and the whole person took more than a dozen steps back.

However, with this retreat, the internal force of the "Dou Zhuan Star Shift" suddenly subsided, and the recoil force of the "Purple Cloud Sword Technique" was not hindered, and the purple light sword qi took advantage of the situation and headed towards Xiao Wuzhong's front door. Xiao Wuzhong failed to resist in time, and was once again a few steps behind by the sword qi, and he also suffered some minor internal injuries.

On Xiao Tian's side, after the "Purple Cloud Sword Technique" was cast, he did not rush to attack again, but first stabilized, landed and stood up, and looked directly at Xiao Wuzhong.

Xiao Wuzhong had just come back to his senses, and he was injured by Xiao Tianxiao, and he was very unwilling in his heart. However, he also saw that Xiao Tian's martial arts were indeed different now, and if he had any more enemies, he might really suffer.

Xiao Wuzhong looked at Xiao Tian with a stern face, and said with a smile: "Hmph, I really didn't expect it, I haven't seen you for a year, but your martial arts internal strength has grown a lot, it seems that I underestimated you......"

Xiao Tian didn't pay attention to Xiao Wuzhong's "nonsense", he still said to Xiao Wuzhong with murderous eyes: "Hmph, don't forget, I came today to take your life, not to practice martial arts!"

This was the first time Xiao Tian had said such murderous words in front of others, and Xiao Wuzhong on the other side couldn't help but feel chilled when he heard it. However, Xiao Wuzhong naturally didn't take Xiao Tian in his eyes, and now seeing Xiao Tian so "light" himself, Xiao Wuzhong was even more angry in his heart, and then responded with a sneer: "Hmph, just warmed up just now, for the sake of you after all, you were also my junior brother, so I let you score three points, but I didn't expect it to make you proud...... Since you said that you are here to take my life, then I naturally can't be merciful, I want to kill you, it's just a matter of a few tricks and a few styles, you have to be careful......" Saying that, Xiao Wuzhong's whole body suddenly exuded a chilling internal force, it seems that Xiao Wuzhong's words are not alarmist.

Although Xiao Tian was nervous in his heart, since he had decided to personally correct Xiao Wuzhong, he also knew that he had no way out. Xiao Tian held the long sword tightly in his right hand, and his eyes looked at Xiao Wuzhong, now he must also get serious...... (To be continued......)
