The prince is very fierce

The wind and snow were bleak, the sky was dark and the ground was white.

The cold wind blew up the snow and sand on the shore of Hongshan Lake, the burning fire of the broken walls and ruins turned the snow into a dark red, and the smell of burnt corpses filled the air.

In the dense forest covered with dry grass, the wild Taoist Wu You was wrapped in a nightgown, his long sword painted black, and he was motionless on a pine tree that was as thick as a man's embrace, staring at the boat slowly approaching the shore in the distance, his deep pupils showing a bit of viciousness.

When facing an unbeatable opponent in the martial arts world, the best way is to kill someone with a borrowed knife. After persuading Xue Chengzhi, Wu You rushed back to Jinling with his extraordinary lightness skills. After discovering that Xu Buling was coming towards Hongshan Lake, he turned back on the road and led Xue Chengzhi here.

Wu You knew very well how good Xu Buling was. Even when he was infected with the Dragon Locking Gu, he could suppress his two brothers. When he was in full victory, he had no chance at all. The only top masters who could deal with Xu Buling were the contemporary Wu Kui and a few rare top masters.

Xue Chengzhi is not Tang Jiao, the shame of Wu Kui. He is a figure on par with Sword Saint Zhu Liu and Knife Master Situ Yuejin. He has been invincible for nearly forty years with a Liuhe Spear. He was already a world-famous master in the era of the old Sword Saint Zhu Choushan. Even though he is nearly sixty years old, he can still be ranked in the top ten in the world. As the saying goes, "Fists are afraid of young people, and sticks are afraid of old wolves." After a lifetime of polishing, the fighting power of the gun god Xue Chengzhi is only stronger than when he was young, and it is enough to deal with the fledgling Xu Buling.

It may be a godsend. Xue Chengzhi just arrived here and met Xu Buling who had just experienced a big battle.

Wu You saw Xu Buling sitting cross-legged on the boat to adjust, and knew that he must have consumed a lot of physical strength just now. At this time, meeting Xue Chengzhi, even a serious Ten Wu Kui would have little chance of winning, not to mention a Qing Kui.

For this reason, Wu You was a little worried. If Xu Buling saw that the situation was not good and directly handed over the jade, Xue Chengzhi would definitely not do it again. He followed secretly, planning to let Xue Chengzhi and Xu Buling fight each other to a draw, and then use his extraordinary lightness skills to find an opportunity to strike a fatal blow. Now Xu Buling was just tired and not injured, so he definitely didn't want to take risks.

In the night, Wu You stared at the small fishing boat that was docked, and Xue Chengzhi, who had been waiting for a long time, also came out from the darkness...——

"Young Master, be careful."

Beside the burning ruins, Master Zhongli and his apprentice were looking at Xu Buling with their own thoughts. Nightingale, who was born cautious, found the tall black shadow standing in the dark of the road. Her eyes swept over the bright silver spear, and her little face changed a little. She pressed the sword at her waist:

"Chihu Qixing, it's Xue Chengzhi from Liuhemen."

Xu Buling had already noticed the figure in the dark, but he didn't recognize who it was. He only felt that the imposing aura was very oppressive. This feeling had been seen in Zhu Liu and Eunuch Jia. It was a sense of crisis that was instinctively generated when it could threaten his own safety.

Hearing Nightingale calling out the opponent's name with the weapon, Xu Buling frowned slightly. He held the dragon-patterned long spear Xue Chengzhi's name. Of course, he knew that he was one of the current top ten martial arts champions, a genuine top ten in the world, and he had been famous for many years. Even the spear technique he used came from the Xue family's Liuhe spear, and the killer move that Zhu Liu taught Manzhi also came from the Zhongping spear in Xue Chengzhi's spear technique. From this point alone, we can see how high Xue Chengzhi's martial arts attainments are.

From childhood to adulthood, whether before or after coming here, Xu Buling has only encountered the most powerful opponents, the secret guard Lao Yi and the Ghost Lady. Lao Yi's letting him off at Wangjiangtai doesn't count. The Ghost Lady had retired for many years due to an old injury before, but she was still able to beat him and Ning Yuhe in cold sweats. It is conceivable how strong the real top ten martial arts champions are.

If it were any other time, Xu Buling would have a good chance of defeating the current martial arts champion if he was well fed and in excellent condition. However, he had just fought in the water stronghold for a long time, and it was impossible for him to recover so quickly from physical exhaustion and muscle fatigue. In a master-level fight, life and death are often determined by subtle details. Xu Buling's combat experience is definitely not as rich as Xue Chengzhi, who has been in the martial arts world for a lifetime. If he suffers from a physical disadvantage again, he is not sure whether he can win.

Zhongli Jiujiu and Zhongli Chuchu, the master and apprentice, changed their expressions when they heard Xue Chengzhi's name. They took a few steps back and hid behind Xu Buling, with their hands on the poison bottle on their waists and their eyes alert.

If Xu Buling was unsure, then Nightingale and Zhongli were facing a formidable enemy. A great reputation is not in vain. A martial arts champion must be the top master of an era. Even Tang Jiao could easily beat three Zhang Xiangs. Dealing with them, who were at most masters, was like Xu Buling dealing with the small fish in the water fort. A tiger entering a flock of sheep can cut grass without any comparison and kill them easily.

Zhongli Jiujiu was good at using poison, but the method of using poison was to control the light in secret, and poison the opponent without him noticing. Now Xue Chengzhi was right in front of her, and she was probably asking for trouble by throwing poison needles and bottles.

The dim firelight illuminated the flying snow, and the small dock by the lake became silent. Five people stood on both sides, and the atmosphere condensed in the cold wind.

Xue Chengzhi walked out of the darkness with a sharp spear, his face illuminated by a faint light. He was calm and unmoved, and glanced at Nightingale:

"Young lady, you have good eyesight. I have something to discuss with your young master. Please step aside."

Nightingale held the hilt of the sword, analyzed the situation, and said softly:

"Young master, retreat."

Xu Buling wanted to retreat, but they were all nearby. Even if he could run away, the three girls would definitely not be able to run faster than Xue Chengzhi. At this time, the only role of Nightingale and Zhongli Master and Apprentice was to block the knife, and they might not be able to block it. If they stayed, they would be a burden. He gently raised his left hand:

"You go first, wait at the intersection, and pay attention to safety on the road."

Zhongli Chuchu finally reunited with Xu Buling and regarded Xu Buling as a close friend. How could she leave if there was any difficulty at this time? She said:

"Master Xu..."

"Walk!"

Xu Buling tilted his head slightly and glared, signaling her not to act like a daughter at this time.

Zhongli Chuchu quickly stopped talking, feeling a little at a loss. Zhongli Jiujiu knew the depth of Jianghu and did not dare to stay around to get in the way. She secretly stuffed a few bottles into Xu Buling's belt behind her and pulled Zhongli Chuchu to move to the forest next to her.

Nightingale knew her own weight, so after saying "Master, be careful", she followed Master Zhongli and his disciples and slowly evacuated the dock.

Tap tap tap

The embroidered shoes stepped on the snow on the ground and drifted away.

Xu Buling pointed at the ground with a long dragon-patterned spear in one hand, staring at Xue Chengzhi with a faint smile in his eyes:

"Senior Xue is here, what are you doing?"

Xue Chengzhi was extremely tall and stood motionless in the snow, like an iron tower holding up the sky. After glancing at Xu Buling a few times:

"Don't panic, little friend, I'm just exchanging something with you."

His words were calm, and there was no arrogance or arrogance in his tone. At the level of Wu Kui, with real combat power, just like Eunuch Jia and others, there was no need to use words to build momentum.

Xu Bu Ling's long tree stood still in the wind and snow, looking directly into Xue Chengzhi's eyes:

"What to change?"

"You have a few pieces of jade left by Zuo Zhe, which are of great use to me. Come here today to exchange for this knife. I hope I can give up my love to you."

Xue Chengzhi took off the simple long knife stuck across his lower waist and gently threw it away.

The long knife slid across the night sky, steadily but silently. It seemed to have little strength. Xu Buring raised his hand to grab the scabbard, but there was a muffled sound, and the white robe on his body visibly shook.

But that's all.

Xu Buling caught the long knife with his left hand, his figure was as motionless as a pine tree, and he didn't even move his blade.

"Yes, it is very valuable to have such a skill at such a young age."

Xue Chengzhi's eyes finally looked a little more serious, and he nodded lightly and praised.

Xu Bu Ling's eyes moved to the long knife in his hand, and he flicked it with his fingers. The blade was half an inch out of the sheath, and the bright light shone in the firelight.

Even if Xu Buling couldn't recognize the name of this 'Minghong Sword', he still had good eyesight and could tell that the value of this sword was no less than the Zhaodan and Shuilongyin in his hands.

There was a bit of surprise in Xu Buling's eyes. For a martial artist, no one disliked swords, wine, beauties and horses, and he was the same. If people in the world would trade such a rare magical weapon for a few jade pendants, he would definitely accept it, and he might even feel that he was getting a big advantage.

But the jade article on his body now is the key point of King Wu's secret plan. Grandpa Fubao also warned him to take a look at it. The purpose should be to take advantage of the situation and allow King Wu to successfully complete the plan.

Xu Buling didn't know what King Wu was planning, so he had to go and see the situation and analyze whether it was profitable. Compared with the general trend of the world, a sword is obviously not of enough weight. Moreover, the hairpin was given by Fubao and the jade pendant was given to Zhongli Chuchu. It was a bit embarrassing to take it back and use it. How could they exchange it with others.

"The jade has been given away and cannot be exchanged with Senior Xue. Please forgive me."

Xu Bu ordered the blade to be sheathed, and he raised his hand and threw the sword back lightly.

Xue Chengzhi frowned slightly, stretched out the sharp spear and stuck it on the flying sword. Without making any sound, he stopped the powerful sword in the air, spun a few times in the air, and inserted it into the snow with a slight clang. , a pair of tiger eyes stared at Xu Buling:

"Mr. Xu, I will get the jade today. In exchange for this knife, I won't treat you half wrong. Don't be toasted and you will be punished with wine."

His tone was obviously a little darker, and the lightness in his eyes turned into a life-long sharpness, as sharp as the bright silver gun in his hand.

Xu Buling frowned slightly, raised his cheek slightly, and his eyes showed a bit of unruliness:

"Relying on the old and selling the old?"

After a few words, the wind and snow fell silent, leaving only the two opposites.

Master Zhongli, his disciples and Nightingale, who had not gone too far, were all shocked. They didn't expect Xu Buling to have such a violent temper. The person opposite him was a top ten martial artist. Even if he relied on his elders to act like his elders, he would still speak a little tactfully.

Zhongli Jiujiu wanted to dissuade him, but in this situation, her status in the world was not qualified to speak out, so she could only stand in the woods and worry.

On the other side, Wu You finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this sarcasm without mercy.

Jianghu people pay attention to seniority. When younger people face respected senior Jianghu people, even if they want to cause trouble, they have to send a greeting card first. This is a sign of respect for their seniors. There are too many examples of Leng Touqing being rude. Kou Meng, the 'Thunder Gonggun', went to Northern Xinjiang Chen Chong in his youth and arrogance. He deserved to have his leg broken because he was being polite, and he deserved to be beaten to death on the spot.

This phrase ‘Rely on the old and sell the old? ’ Go out, with Xue Chengzhi’s status in the world, if you can pretend that you can’t hear him, then your life in the world will be in vain.

After hearing the words, Xue Chengzhi raised the sharp iron gun, his eyes returned to the calmness when he first came, and he stood like a mountain on the snow, and said calmly:

"It's easy to break when you are too strong. When I was young and energetic, I suffered losses and lost my memory."
