C262 The Skills of the Imperial Secret Service Alone Shocked Everyone

"Thank you, my king, for your help. "

"Mm, stand up. You go to the side first. Later, we'll go to the drill ground and see what your abilities are like. "

"Announcing Gold Science and Culture Martial Champion to the upper hall. " The Emperor said in a clear voice.

In a short while, the two top scholars arrived at the hall. After the ceremony, the Emperor carried out a further test on them and the result also made the Emperor very satisfied, especially that First Master Nie Xiong from World's Tyrant Manor who changed his name to Nie Chen. He was overflowing with talent and was deeply liked by the Emperor, making the Emperor still remember him.

After the end of the court session, the Emperor brought a few ministers, the top scholar of the Jin Ke and Zhao Gongxun to the drill ground to admire Zhao Gongxun's abilities.

"Zhao Gongxun, these are the four experts of my Royal Guards. You compete with them and let me see your true abilities. " As he spoke, the Emperor waved his hand and three burly men and a woman stood out from behind. The man was tall and sturdy and had an extraordinary bearing. The woman's willowy eyebrows have a pair of big bright and spirited eyes and is very beautiful. Even though she looked quiet and weak, Zhao Gongxun didn't put him in the category of weak girls. They were holding the Spring Saber in their hands and wearing flying fish clothes.

From their clothes, Zhao Gongxun could tell that these four people weren't ordinary Royal Guards. There were three types of clothes among Royal Guards's high-ranking staff. Python robe, flying fish robe, and bullfighting robe. And these three attire, only Commander of the Royal Guards would wear Python Robe. Next was the flying fish robe, and then the bullfighting robe. In other words, the identities of these four people were second only to Commander of the Royal Guards, and they were definitely people with powerful martial arts.

"Zhao Gongxun greets the four masters. " As he spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed.

"You are too polite. The Emperor is full of praise for you. Let us see your ability. " Although these four people appeared very approachable, the characteristics of their glory and arrogance were also displayed to the extreme.

"Then I'll have to offend you. "

"My name is Black Tortoise. Let me take a look first. " After saying that, one of the four people stood out and cupped his fists before walking onto the fighting stage.

"So it's the four great masters of Royal Guards. I have long heard that Royal Guards has the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Today, I see that he is indeed extraordinary. Please advise me. " After saying that, Zhao Gongxun also walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.

After both parties bowed, Black Tortoise drew out his Embroidery Spring Sabre and said to Zhao Gongxun: "There is a weapon rack next to it. You can choose whichever weapon you want to use. I will use this Embroidered Spring Sabre to spar with you. "

"No need. I'll use these two hands. " Zhao Gongxun said unhurriedly, as if he didn't put this Black Warrior in his eyes.

"Good kid, you have some guts. Let me see if you have the ability. " Although Black Tortoise said it very politely, he was still quite angry with Zhao Gongxun. He used both hands to face his Embroidered Spring Sabre. This was a naked contempt towards him. If not for the Emperor being present, he would not be so polite.

Other than General Qu and Qing Yun, the people below the stage were also shocked when they heard Zhao Gongxun's words. Royal Guards's four great experts were one of the top experts in the renowned dynasty. Other than General Qu, Qingyun and a few people from the Cloud Guardian, there was no one else who could defeat them. However, this student had to use his bare hands to deal with his Embroidery Spring Sabre. This made the Emperor look at him in a new light.

At that moment, Black Tortoise had already made his move. He was from a martial arts family and specialized in cultivation. The blade technique of the blade was very sharp and swift. It was so fast that it made people speechless. The blade slashed at Zhao Gongxun's blade shadow. It was as if the blade was swung several times at the same time, making people unable to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Zhao Gongxun only slightly frowned. When the blade was about to slash him, he slightly moved back. The knife landed right in front of his eyes. It would have hurt him by a hair's breadth. This knife made the people below the stage exclaim secretly. In the eyes of the civil servants, Zhao Gongxun had barely dodged the knife, while the Black Tortoise on the stage had an ugly expression on his face. Although this attack could not be considered his sure-kill move, it was still a relatively powerful move. However, it was cleverly dodged by Zhao Gongxun. Originally, he wanted to embarrass him with just one strike because of his contempt. However, he never thought that this would be the outcome. This made him put away his contempt for Zhao Gongxun, and once again, he raised his saber and charged at Zhao Gongxun.

"Mr Qu, what do you think about Zhao Gongxun dodging?" The Emperor looked at Zhao Gongxun on the stage with admiration and asked casually.

"It seems like he managed to dodge this attack with great difficulty, but the reality is otherwise. He had already calculated the position of the falling blade, so he cleverly and easily dodged it. "

"Yes, I think so too. I'm afraid that this person's martial arts is above the Black Tortoise. "

As they were discussing, the Black Tortoise slashed several times in succession. It could be said that each slash was fiercer than the last. What made him even angrier was that this unknown student could easily dodge it. At this moment, Zhao Gongxun finally made his move. He turned his palm into a blade and slashed horizontally at the Xuanwu's abdomen. It was so overbearing that he did not dare to take it head on. He hurriedly pulled back his blade and retreated.

Zhao Gongxun didn't give him any chance to catch his breath. The moment he retreated, he quickly moved forward and struck again. Black Tortoise saw the palm wind attack before he landed. He could not dodge it and could only block it with his saber. This palm hit the saber. It shook him until he fell to the ground and took a few steps back before he could stabilize his body. His face was also deathly pale. It was obvious that he had also expended a great deal of effort to offset the power of this palm.

"Sir, thank you for letting me win. " Zhao Gongxun cupped his fist and said. In fact, he did not use his full strength in this palm strike. If he used his full strength, even the lightest strike would cause this Black Tortoise to vomit blood and be seriously injured. But he thought that at this moment, he could not be too fierce. The Emperor had also mentioned this point before. Thus, he could only leave some leeway.

"Your martial arts is indeed powerful. The Black Tortoise admires you. " After saying that, he put away his saber and cupped his fists, then turned around and walked off the stage.

"Good, hahaha, your martial arts is indeed powerful. You defeated one of the four great masters of the Great Ming, Royal Guards, with just a few moves. You are indeed outstanding. " When the Emperor saw that the outcome of the battle had been decided, he clapped his hands and cheered. The officials at the side also praised him and were amazed.

"Next, let me have a taste of your skills. " As she spoke, another female walked out from among the four experts. This female was the only female amongst the four experts. She was the third ranked Vermilion Bird.

"Vermillion Bird, you can withdraw. You are no match for him. Let me handle this. " As she spoke, another person walked out from among the four. This person seemed to be slightly older than the other three. Moreover, it could be seen that he was more mature than the other three. The aura he emitted was also much more profound than the other three.

"Big brother, you have to be careful. " After saying that, he retreated. The Vermillion Bird could also tell that Zhao Gongxun hadn't used his full strength. It could also be seen that his martial arts was very high. It was obvious that he was capable enough to make the Azure Dragon attack him personally. Thus, it spoke with concern.
