Liaozhai Great Sage

This reminder clearly shows that Xia Houwu is not Li Xiuyuan's opponent.

"What, a master of martial arts? And he is also a master of horse fighting." Xia Houwu was shocked immediately.

Chapter 235 Joining forces with Yan Chixia

Xia Houwu saw Li Xiuyuan as a useless scholar at first sight, but when he heard Yan Chixia remind him that he was a martial arts master, he was suddenly surprised.

When did martial arts masters become so worthless, that a mere scholar can have such martial arts?

What surprised him even more was that this scholar was not only a master of martial arts, but also a master of horse fighting.

Since ancient times, masters of horse warfare can only be produced by generals, and it is even more difficult to cultivate to the level of martial arts masters, because not only must one's own martial arts be proficient, but also the method of horse warfare must be learned well.

During this period, not only the guidance of a famous teacher is needed, but also the familiarity with war horses since childhood.

This cannot be done by rich people.

Whereas the disciples of rich and noble families would learn martial arts, they all went to study to test their fame, and even the general family also abandoned martial arts and followed literature.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan is holding a golden spear in his mouth and riding a dragon colt. Although he looks like a Confucian scholar, his aura is like a tiger descending a mountain, unstoppable. Wu only felt cold sweat break out on his forehead, and his whole body tensed up.

A master of martial arts, holding a 72-jin gun, riding a horse, and borrowing horsepower, the burst of power is beyond the imagination of a swordsman like him.

It doesn't need so many tricks, this power is enough to kill anyone with high martial arts skills.

"Ang~!"

The dragon horse neighed and snorted, and it seemed that it became violent at this moment, as if it knew that it was going to fight.

"coming."

Xia Houwu did not run away, he is also a top swordsman, he will never be timid in the face of challenges, if he is timid, he will not lose to Yan Chixia and then challenge him for a sword competition.

"Hoo~!"

The big gun came whistling, and stabbed at Xia Houwu, swiftly and fiercely, with an unrivaled momentum.

Although Xia Houwu seldom competes with horse fighters, he also knows that the first move of horse fighters must not be reckless. At this moment, his body suddenly turned to one side, and the sword in his hand fell on the body of the long spear, and he pushed it away. This stab.

However, the dragon horse neighed at this moment, and the horse's hooves turned and changed direction, sticking to Xia Houwu.

Li Xiuyuan picked up his long spear and landed on Xia Houwu's body.

In an instant, the sword in Xia Houwu's hand was thrown out, and his body couldn't bear such a powerful force, so he was thrown out directly. It flew more than three feet away, smashing the window of a meditation room, flying into the house.

"Scholar, show mercy, Brother Xiahou is not a heinous person." Seeing this, Yan Chixia hurriedly said.

"I've shown mercy, otherwise I would have picked him up with the body of the gun, or just cut a hole in him." Li Xiuyuan said.

Yan Chixia was relieved when she heard the commotion in the Zen room, it was Xia Houwu who came out angrily from the ruins, and said: "Your martial arts are much better than last time, even the one shot just now was me. Hard to beat."

"hateful."

Xia Houwu clutched his heart, walked out of the abandoned meditation room, and said angrily, "It's not fair for you to fight me on horseback."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "How unfair? I learned the method of horse warfare. Without a horse, it is like a swordsman without a sword. Besides, you provoked me just now, and I will fight you. Naturally, I have to do my best. With all my strength, you can't go a round under my hands, so in a real life-and-death fight, you can't even beat me, how can you beat Yan Chixia?"

"Brother Xiahou, our kind of martial arts is a quack trick that can't be put on the table. This scholar's martial arts is the real skill. It is not shameful for you to lose to him, and the scholar has already shown mercy just now." Yan Chixia Said.

"Eh."

Xia Houwu sighed heavily, picked up the sword on the ground, and prepared to leave.

"Brother, please stop." Li Xiuyuan said.

"I've already lost to you, what else do you want? Do you want to take my life?" Xia Houwu said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "You misunderstood, the competition is over, and the grievances we had just now have been settled. As a martial arts practitioner, why would you care about some trivial matters? It's just that there are evil spirits in this temple. If you leave now, I'm afraid you will encounter some monsters in the wilderness, why don't you stay, so that we can take care of each other."

According to the divine will, Xia Houwu will stay in the mountains after leaving this time, and finally die in the hands of the tree demon.

Although the relationship between him and Xia Houwu was not friendly when they met for the first time, there was no deep hatred.

So Li Xiuyuan didn't want to see such a master die in the hands of monsters in a daze, that would be a pity.

"There are no monsters in broad daylight." Xia Houwu looked in disbelief.

Yan Chixia also said: "The scholar is right. This temple is indeed weird. There is no one in a good temple, and there is a smell of corpses. There must be evil spirits or demons here. You stay here. How about we work together to eliminate demons?"

"I will not accompany you."

Xia Houwu was annoyed and in a bad mood after losing the competition, so he swung his hand and strode away.

"He is still so angry, it hasn't changed at all," Yan Chixia said.

Seeing that Xia Houwu still left, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help pondering for a while, and then motioned to Ryoma: "Go and follow him, if you encounter a monster, save his life."

"Ang~!"

The dragon horse neighed, and left quickly with its iron hooves, chasing after Xia Houwu.

"You really have a good heart, you help him even if he doesn't appreciate it." Yan Chixia said.

Li Xiuyuan just smiled and didn't speak.

He has frustrated Xia Houwu's spirit, if Longma saves his life again, maybe he can take it for his own use, if it doesn't work, it would be good to have more helpers in the future.

A master of swordsmanship will always come in handy in the future.

"By the way, why did you come to Guobei County?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Yan Chixia said: "I am here to hunt down a wanted criminal named Shi Hu. This man is cruel and heinous. He has gathered a large number of bandits and looted everywhere. Get rid of him, passing by here originally wanted to stay overnight in Lanruo Temple to rest for a few days, who would have thought that Xia Houwu would come to find him, and then they would fight over a disagreement, that's all."

"How long have you lived here, have you encountered any ghosts?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"I've lived here for three days, and I haven't encountered any ghosts, but I have smelled monsters. The monsters here don't seem to want to harass me. They don't interfere with me. They don't bother me, so I didn't go to them. Trouble." Yan Chixia said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It should be that the monsters knew that you were difficult to deal with, so they didn't show up."

Yan Chixia's vitality and blood are strong enough to dispel ghosts and ghosts, plus she walks around with a magical sword on her back, even a monster knows that he is difficult to deal with, and she is not completely sure that she will not touch this bad luck, so as not to harm others If he fails, he will be killed.

"Scholar, what are you doing here?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "Exorcism, the monster here has killed people in a temple, and there are many more victims. I can't let it continue to cause harm."

"If you want to kill monsters, you should invite the priest from last time to come. His skills are very high. If you join hands with me, it will not be difficult to kill this monster." Yan Chixia said.

What he was referring to was Mu Taoist.
