Thousands of years ago, in the early stage of the Wuxing era, the individual force of warriors gradually surpassed the army composed of ordinary people.

In view of this, the various royal families have thought of various ways to maintain the fighting power of the state's violent apparatus. While trying to win over those martial artists of all the sons and hundreds of schools who were both civil and military cultivators, they also began to cultivate cultivators who belonged to the royal family and the imperial court itself according to the cultivation model of martial artists.

These people were not only the dead soldiers around the kings and princes, but also the side branches of the royal family, and later generations collectively referred to these people as the dragon protectors.

If the measures of these royal families succeeded, then the current world may not be much different from the ancient Huaxia in the previous life of Baiya.

However, the methods used by these royal clans both soft and hard failed in the end!

The princes have their own ideas, they can accept the drive of the kings of the countries, but they are not dogs under the king's hands, and many times they will not blindly follow the will of the emperor.

As for the dead soldiers cultivated by the royal family themselves, most of their martial arts paths could not go far, and the vast majority of the dead soldiers of the royal family could not advance to the innate realm.

The congenital strong must use martial arts to combine the Tao, Yun Dao and martial arts, the royal family only knows the king, and does not reason, how to promote the congenital?

Even if a very small number of people become innate powerhouses, they will also slowly break away from the control of the royal family because of the martial arts in their hearts.

To this day, although the royal clan still retains the Dragon Protector Clan, these people are no longer targeting the Xianwu Sect, and even many times the warriors of the Dragon Protector Clan will join the Xianwu Sect in exchange for the Xianwu Sect's sense of identity with the contemporary king.

Xie Yu belonged to the Dragon Guardian clan of the Meng clan of the King of Shu, and his ancestors had guarded the royal family for generations, and the King of Shu also regarded them as his confidants.

Of course, the dragon protection family of the King of Shu has lasted for thousands of years, including five surnames, including Meng, Xie, Wang, Li, and Shan.

Xie Yu was originally just an inconspicuous collateral orphan surnamed Xie, but when he was ten years old, his fate changed. There were members of the palace surnamed Wang who sent people to teach him deliberately, and continued to provide cultivation resources to cultivate him into a talent.

Xie Yu learned a few years later that this member of the surname Wang was Meng Min, the sixth son of the current King of Shu.

Although I don't know why Meng Min looked at him differently, he belonged to the dragon protection clan, so he didn't think much about it, but just swore loyalty to Meng Min.

Half a year ago, Meng Min suddenly recruited him into the palace and gave him a list, instructing him to open up to the martial artists on the list during this year's Qingcheng martial arts test, and he must admit defeat after encountering it.

However, half a year had passed, and there were only more than a dozen names on that list, Xie Yu thought that it would be difficult for him to meet one of them among the tens of thousands of martial artists, until he met Baiya at this moment......

"It's really bad luck...... Not counting the martial apprentices eliminated in the first two levels, there are three thousand test takers here alone, and they will all be bumped into by someone!"

Xie Yu felt a little bitter in his heart, if he didn't know about the Qingcheng martial arts test, Meng Min would not have the ability to entrust someone to cheat, he would have thought that it was deliberately arranged by the sixth prince.

Recalling the previous warrior who defeated him, Xie Yu suddenly felt helpless. Could it be that with his combat strength, he still has to lose two games in a row?

As a member of the Dragon Guardian Clan, although Xie Yu was only in his twenties, he was a little different from the martial disciples here.

In order to cultivate him, Meng Min not only provided several exclusive royal treasured martial arts, but also used a lot of connections to let him go to the Barbarian Demon Hunting Team and the Royal Secret Agent Organization to exercise.

The victory or defeat of a Qi realm martial artist in a martial arts battle is often a millimeter, but there is also a difference in force in a small realm.

From the qi realm to the artistic conception stage, the performance of the small realm is also different depending on the exercises. Taking Baiya's mixed iron cloth shirt as an example, it is divided into four stages: strength, skin and flesh, muscles and bones, internal organs, and blood marrow.

Bai Ya has now practiced skin and flesh, and is marching towards the muscle and bone stage, although the internal organs have also started to exercise with mixed yuan external strength, it will still take several years to practice.

Xie Yu practiced knife skills, spanning the basic stage of "fast, accurate, and ruthless", and in the qi realm stage, it was divided into three stages: containing qi in the knife, releasing the knife qi and controlling the knife with qi.

Xie Yu had already practiced to the realm of the Qi Imperial Sword, and the ordinary long knives were equivalent to divine weapons in his hands, and Bai Ya's mixed iron cloth shirt couldn't carry it at all.

After this stage is completed, the long knife can attack the enemy out of the body, and the knife intent will be produced slowly, and it is only half a step away from the artistic conception, so it is called the half-step intent!

Xie Yu has just entered the Qi Imperial Knife, and he has not yet produced the sword intent, and he cannot be called a half-step intent. But among this batch of Qingcheng martial arts who took the exam, he still belonged to the top layer.

The reason why Xie Yu is said to be unlucky is because he lost before, that is, at the hands of a real half-step. That person had already practiced a trace of sword intent, and he was very famous among the martial artists in this class, and it was said that he was also taken away by a certain branch of Qingcheng.

Even under this person, Xie Yu was not ugly defeated, and he fought for a long time before he was defeated with one move. He could have fought a fight, but the reason was similar to before White Cliff, and it was not worth paying the price of serious injury, so he simply admitted defeat.

The only thing he didn't expect was that when he reached the first loser's group, he actually ran into White Cliff again......

If you lose again, you will enter the second loser's group, and then you will be one step away from elimination, so Xie Yu is not tired of it!

"The sixth prince is as kind to a certain person, and his entrustment cannot be ignored! But at least let a certain show what kind of ability you have, so that the sixth prince can look at you differently, and even do not hesitate to let a certain deceive defeat you!"

Xie Yu looked at Bai Ya with complicated eyes, his face was solemn, and he slowly pulled out the long knife at his waist.

"This person's eyes are so weird, isn't it a rabbit master?" Bai Ya was a little nervous by Xie Yu, he practiced mixed yuan iron cloth shirt and tiger boxing, but he didn't want to touch a rabbit master up close.

It's a pity that Xie Yu doesn't know what Bai Ya is thinking, otherwise he must have "sprayed" him in the face.

Otaku narcissism is too terrible! As far as Bai Ya's face is paralyzed, and he is a public face, which rabbit master will take a fancy to him when he is full.

"Whoosh!" As soon as the battle began, Bai Ya was startled by a sword aura that swept by.

However, this sword qi was obviously not aimed at the target, it was just a greeting.

The martial arts test is different from the fight between life and death, and the martial apprentices will not greet or fight directly, especially under the noses of the Qingcheng examiners.

Just like Ji Sheng was so angry with Bai Ya just now, but before the hidden weapon was released, he still shouted "look and fight", indicating that he had said hello, and he would not be blamed for being shot again.

Xie Yu's sword aura is the same thing, but Bai Ya is still a little strange. According to his thoughts, there are many ways to say hello, and the big killing weapon of sword qi should be concealed, and then give the opponent a "surprise" when it comes to the end.

But since Xie Yu showed his sword aura, Bai Ya also smiled happily, and immediately slid and rushed towards the opponent.

He was wearing a mixed iron cloth shirt, which was a top-level hard skill, but he couldn't practice it at home, but he just practiced the outer layer of skin and flesh. It's like an iron dumpling, after the outer skin is broken, the inside is full of meat filling, and it can't stop the big killer of knife qi.

When Xie Yu saw him pounce, a smile appeared on his face, and with a swing of his long knife, he slashed down on his head.

"Dang!" the two staggered past each other, and there was a sound of steel clashing!

Xie Yu looked intently, but found that Bai Ya had an extra short knife in his hand.

The white cliff was originally obtained from the short knife of the old man Tao of Shiyang Ji Knife Casting Master, but it has been slapped in two by Hui Nan in the King Kong Temple. Now this short knife was given to him by Dong Ming before the martial arts test.

At that time, he revealed his true identity to the two leaders. In order to test his knife skills, Dong Ming gave him a portable short knife, which was not taken back later, and now it is being used by Bai Ya to deal with Xie Yu.

Bai Ya's original sword skills were practiced into the word "fast", and later the strength of the cultivated mixed yuan iron cloth shirt gradually increased, and the "accuracy and ruthlessness" of the sword skills were almost the same. Now used as a means of defense, it can withstand Xie Yu's long knife.

"Oh, and make a knife?" Xie Yu's eyes lit up.

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one, his sword technique foundation was complete, although it was not as good as the Northwest swordsman who focused on fast and accurate ruthlessness, but the knife speed was not weak, and those martial artists who temporarily held a knife could not find his knife track.

Bai Ya grinned, his right hand holding the knife was behind his back, and he secretly complained in his heart.

He had just entered the qi realm, and his sword technique had been stagnant for a long time, but he couldn't do it like Xie Yu's qi and knife. As soon as he fought just now, he only felt that his opponent's long knife was as heavy as a rock, although it could withstand it, it was almost split out of balance, and the defensive counterattack that had been brewing was also interrupted.

"Come again!" Xie Yu swung his long knife and pressed towards it in small rhythmic steps under his feet.

"When, when, when!" The two figures were staggered, the knife sounded like a chime, and for a while, the entire field was full of sharp knife light.

"Hey, why is there no record on this kid's information, he still has a quick knife!"

The Qingcheng female referee on the sidelines looked strange, buried her head and flipped through the small book in her hand, "Unless...... This sword technique is not taught by the Zhenwu Dojo, but this stinky boy's family kung fu ......"

The female referee of Qingcheng guessed a little truth, and the Zhenwu Dojo would provide the Qingcheng faction with the martial arts hall learning of the disciples who took the test. But if it is a martial art that the disciples learned before entering the museum, then they don't care about it, and they are regarded as the martial artists' own hole cards.

The two frequently fight each other, unlike Xie Yu's cheerfulness, Bai Ya is now a little difficult to ride a tiger.

His knife speed is not slower than Xie Yu's, but his internal qi can't penetrate the knife, and his strength is insufficient, which is equivalent to using his own shortcomings to others.

After fighting for a while, Bai Ya knew that he couldn't continue like this, so he gritted his teeth secretly, and with a probe of the tiger claw in his left hand, he directly grabbed Xie Yu's wrist.

Of course, Xie Yu would not be caught by him, he followed the opponent's move, and as soon as the blade turned, he slashed down.

Bai Ya had already tried this several times just now, and each time he would be forced to retreat. But this time it was different, Bai Ya didn't see the long knife, his wrist flicked, and the tiger claw buckled against the blade.

"Poof!" The blood flashed, Xie Yu couldn't change his move, and the blade immediately embedded itself in the tiger's mouth of the white cliff.

With this slash, Xie Yu immediately found that the long knife was like a solid cowhide, and it was stuck after only a few points! He was afraid of cutting off Bai Ya's palm, and the force was a little slow.

Bai Ya was overjoyed, he thought that the tiger's mouth would be broken, but he didn't expect the opponent to be soft-hearted.

"Roar!" Bai Ya grabbed the blade with his left hand, and when he opened his mouth, there was a tiger roar, the sound was like thunder, his waist and hips twisted, and he slammed into Xie Yu closely.

It is one of the three essences of tiger boxing, the tiger crotch crash!
