Chapter 34: The Great Defeat of Zhang Hua
On the second day, Xiao Yu gathered all his manpower, went to the City Lord's Mansion to meet with City Lord Zhao Tianhu, and then went to Tianluo City.
Since reaching a cooperation with Lin Feilong, the city lord of Tianluo City, two months ago, Xiao Yu has adopted the strategy of breaking the whole into parts, and secretly sent several groups of people to sneak into Tianluo City first, after all, if a lot of cultivators come at once, and they are all good hands, they will definitely be discovered by the Murong family and become suspicious. Leaving seven or eight people in the Xiao family's base camp, the six members of the Xiao family began the road of revenge.
Zhao Tianhu also took the same method as Xiao Yu, and also sent all his men to Tianluo City, and he flew there with the six members of the Xiao family.
In addition to the strategy of breaking the whole into parts, there is another reason why Xiao Yu and Zhao Tianhu sent people to remove the strategy of breaking the whole into parts: they can fly in the Guiyuan period, how can the speed be comparable to that of ordinary people walking or riding horses? Although Lu Yao is an ordinary person, Xiao Xuan'er has not yet broken through to the Guiyuan period, the two of them can't fly, but they can let Xiao Ling and a few people fly with them. This is a bit slower, but still much faster than walking on the ground, which saves you a lot of time.
After the group of seven people secretly arrived at Tianluo City, they came to the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of Zhao Tianhu. And although Lin Feilong did not greet him at the door in order to hide people's eyes, he did greet everyone warmly after entering the house.
Lin Feilong and the Xiao family didn't know each other, and the Xiao family was not familiar with Lin Feilong and the people around him, so naturally they couldn't avoid an introduction.
There were a total of five people who came out with Lin Feilong to greet Xiao Yu and his party, and they were the five masters of the Returning Yuan Period under Lin Feilong's command. Dressed in white, dressed as a scholar, and with three points of arrogance between his eyebrows, he is the highest cultivator among the five, named Zhang Hua, who was cultivated in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. The name of Tsing Yi is Liu Cheng, and he is also a cultivator in the middle of the Guiyuan Dynasty, but it is a little worse than Zhang Hua. The black-clothed man is called Liu Wei, and Liu Chengnai is the brother of the same mother, and he was a cultivator in the early days of the Yuan Dynasty. The other two, one dressed as a coarse-clothed martial artist named Sun Hu, and the other dressed in ordinary clothes named Wu Fan.
After some introduction, Xiao Yu and the others learned that these five people were all masters of the Guiyuan period, so they naturally warmed up to them, you must know that these people are all elite forces to deal with the Murong family.
Just when Lin Feilong wanted to welcome Xiao Yu and the others into the hall to serve tea, a voice suddenly sounded: "I have heard for a long time that Xiao Ling and Xiao Gongzi are talented and intelligent, and their cultivation is extremely high. The person who spoke was Zhang Hua, who was arrogant.
This Zhang Hua has been very smart since he was a child, and when he was nine years old, he was accepted as a disciple by a wandering person to teach magic, and now he is two out of twenty, and he is already the peak of cultivation in the middle of the Guiyuan Dynasty, so it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant. He had a good personal relationship with Zhao Tianhu, and he was also present when Zhao Tianhu came to Lin Feilong to ask for information about the Murong family half a year ago. Zhang Hua is Lin Feilong's confidant, not only is his cultivation the highest except for Lin Feilong, but his strategy is also extraordinary, and his personal relationship with Zhao Tianhu is also good, so he was present at that time.
Zhao Tianhu not only asked for information at that time, but also persuaded Lin Feilong to join forces with the Xiao family to deal with the Mu family, so he would naturally tell everything he knew about the Xiao family, and Xiao Ling had just helped him solve the problem of Wanhua Monk, so he naturally would not fail to mention it. And Zhao Tianhu also took a fancy to Xiao Ling's three masters at that time and wanted to use their strength. As the so-called observation of his apprentices, he can see his master, and the apprentices are so powerful, of course the master will not be bad. In order to highlight what a powerful character Xiao Ling's master is, Zhao Tianhu described the battle between Xiao Ling and Wanhua Monk vividly.
Zhang Hua has always been over-eyed, and of course he felt uncomfortable after listening to Zhao Tianhu's extreme praise for Xiao Ling in his words, so he always wanted to find a chance to meet Xiao Ling, and now he finally waited for this opportunity. Although he had been observing Xiao Ling from the beginning, and found that he couldn't see through Xiao Ling's cultivation, the opportunity was in front of him, and it was impossible for him to let it go in vain.
When Lin Feilong heard this, his brows furrowed: "Zhang Hua, what are you doing? ”
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I have heard that Xiao Gongzi's cultivation is superb for a long time, so I want to see it. If Xiao Gongzi is unwilling, then forget it. Zhang Hua pretended not to understand Lin Feilong's words.
Lin Feilong also had a headache at this time, Zhang Hua was his confidant, and he was his most powerful assistant in terms of cultivation and intelligence, and the Xiao family was his partner, and whether he could take revenge or not would most likely depend on the Xiao family. Intellectually speaking, he should stop Zhang Hua and let him apologize to Xiao Ling, but the Xiao family has just arrived here, and if he reprimands his brother because of an outsider who has only met once, it will inevitably make others dissatisfied.
Just when Lin Feilong didn't know what to do, he heard a young man's voice sound: "Since Brother Zhang has this Yaxing, if he wants to take the school to cultivate in the lower level, how can he not follow it?" It was Xiao Ling who saw Lin Feilong's predicament and spoke out to relieve him, and at the same time, it was also to suppress Zhang Hua's arrogance.
Passing Xiao Ling an apologetic and grateful look, Lin Feilong said with a straight face: "Since this is the case, then Zhang Hua, you can have a discussion with Xiao Gongzi." Don't make too much noise, so as not to attract the attention of the people of the Murong family. ”
"Xiao Gongzi, please. Zhang Hua said with a fist at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling also clenched his fists at him.
Zhang Hua stepped on the strange footwork, and in a few flashes, he rushed behind Xiao Ling, ran his cultivation, and struck Xiao Ling on the back with a palm. Xiao Ling didn't mess up at all, and as soon as he turned around, he dodged, and Zhang Hua's palm naturally fell short.
One blow was ineffective, Zhang Hua was not surprised, if Xiao Ling was hit by him so easily, then he would be surprised.
As soon as Zhenyuan urged, Zhang Hua's right hand suddenly burst into aqua blue brilliance, and his steps were staggered, and he rushed towards Xiao Ling again. Zhang Hua's palm power is not triggered, and he will never spit out his palm power easily if he does not touch Xiao Ling. The footwork performed was also unusual, and there were faint shadows of some body methods in the cultivation realm.
In the face of Zhang Hua's palm attack, Xiao Ling didn't fight hard with him, just blindly dodged. This made Zhang Hua not depressed, although his footwork was flexible, Xiao Ling reacted very quickly, and he was able to dodge his attack in advance every time, which made Zhang Hua feel powerful and nowhere to go.
Time passed little by little, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. Under the effect of footwork, Zhang Hua's palm was like the wind, gradually forcing Xiao Ling to a dead end, making Xiao Ling unable to dodge anymore.
Everyone in the Xiao family, as well as Lin Feilong and Zhao Tianhu, were puzzled by the competition between the two. It is said that Xiao Ling's cultivation is afraid that Zhang Hua can be defeated in one move, why has it dragged on for so long, and Xiao Ling has been dodging the defense and not taking the initiative to attack? Now it seems to be at a disadvantage.
Xiao Ling saw that he couldn't hide anymore, and he also had the heart to test Zhang Hua's strength, so he simply stood in place and didn't dodge, and wanted to face Zhang Hua.
"Since I want you to lose, I will let you lose convincingly! The time is almost up, and letting you drag on for so long can be regarded as giving you enough face, it's time to end!" Xiao Ling thought in his heart.
Zhang Hua saw that Xiao Ling finally stopped dodging, but wanted to take over his palm power, and he was overjoyed, and immediately gathered the true yuan of his whole body and urged his palm power to the peak.
The two palms touched, and Zhang Hua only felt that the other party's palms were extremely powerful, surging towards him like the waves of the sea.
Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that his palm power was dispersed by the other party as soon as he made contact, and the other party's palm power seemed to have no loss, it was still fierce and incomparable, and it came through the palm of his hand directly towards his meridian pulse. If he was hit by such a powerful palm force, he would become a waste even if he didn't die.
Who knew that Xiao Ling's palm power was immediately relieved, and it had already retreated before it hit Zhang Hua's meridians. When the palm force was withdrawn to the palm, Xiao Ling suddenly exerted force, and suddenly Zhang Hua was shocked and flew back three feet away from the volley, and fell to the ground.
Although he was shocked by the palm force, Xiao Ling did not mean to hurt Zhang Hua, but because Zhang Hua was not injured.
When everyone saw this scene, they suddenly realized: it turned out that the reason why Xiao Ling only defended and did not attack before was just to save face for Zhang Hua, so as not to make Zhang Hua lose at the beginning, if he was defeated without any power to fight back as soon as he first fought, with Zhang Hua's arrogant character, he would definitely not be able to stand it, and it would not be conducive to the upcoming revenge plan.
In the end, the winner was decided, and except for Lin Feilong, who saw a clue, no one else saw the slightest inside story. But Zhang Hua was the first to provoke before, and he was ruthless everywhere in the discussion, Xiao Ling could obviously hit Zhang Hua mercilessly, but he just shook Zhang Hua away, and did not leave him the slightest injury, but this mind made the people present sigh to themselves.
Others don't know the inside story of the last palm, so how could Zhang Hua, as a party concerned, not know? Obviously, he can defeat himself with one palm, but he only defends and delays time, thus saving enough face for himself; he can inflict heavy damage on himself and make himself a wasted person, but he stops in time and does not even leave himself with a single injury, and finally shaking himself away with the power of his palm is only a small punishment and a big admonition, which is equivalent to giving himself a piece of advice. How could Zhang Hua not know the gap between himself and Xiao Ling at this time.
Thinking about this, Zhang Hua sat up from the ground, handed Xiao Ling a grateful look, and saluted with his fists: "Thank you Xiao Gongzi's subordinates for their mercy, Zhang is not good at learning and art, this competition is convincing!"
"Brother Zhang, it was only a fluke that he won Brother Zhang's one-and-a-half-move formula, Brother Zhang's cultivation is not weaker than that of Xia. Xiao Ling also returned the salute to Zhang Hua.
Xiao Ling's words were not only modest words, but also for Zhang Hua's steps.
knew in his heart that Xiao Ling was giving himself a step, and Zhang Hua added three points of gratitude in his heart: "Xiao Gongzi not only showed mercy to his subordinates, but also saved face for Zhang, but Zhang wanted to compete with Gongzi, and he was really embarrassed." ”
Although Zhang Hua's personality is arrogant, he is extremely principled, winning is winning, losing is losing, and he doesn't care about winning or losing at all.
"Both of them are heroes among men, so don't be humble. Don't even stand outside, get inside and sit inside. Lin Feilong came out at the right time to play a round.
