The majority of the martial artists present knew that this young vassal lord who had entered the fourth rank in one year was very likely to make a move in this Martial Competition. However, they had originally thought that as the debatable Duke of Huai in the Northwest, Xu Qingzhi would definitely be challenged by others in order for him to enter the stage.

He didn't expect that this young vassal lord would be so bold that he would be on the arena as the arena master himself. Just like Shen Changfeng, if it wasn't for the admiration from the crowd for Shen Changfeng for not taking advantage of the situation, Shen Changfeng could challenge him again after defeating Hua Yinyue. At the most, Shen Changfeng would only be given two hours of rest time.

However, Shen Changfeng was different from Xu Qing. If Xu Qing personally left the stage, then what welcomed him would inevitably be wave after wave of attacks …

"It's over …" Since Duke Huai is going on stage at this time, will we not have the chance to? "

It was not just this martial artist that had such thoughts. Most of the people present had the same thoughts.

Because they all knew that since Xu Qing had personally gone out, they naturally could not let go of such a good opportunity. Afterwards, they would inevitably challenge him one by one, even if he was the one in the middle requesting a rest. They might not be able to win in terms of techniques, but when it came to attacking Xu Qingzhi and attacking the Northwest, they no longer cared about the methods.

At this moment, Mo Yunchang, Xu Zhen, Chen Zixi, Su Dingfang, and the others were all looking at Xu Qingzhi in shock.

"Xu Qinzhi, have you gone mad?"

Mo Yunchang anxiously called out, she saw the corner of Yu Yan's lips curled up into a smile.

He was truly courting death.

If Xu Qingzhi did not directly challenge him, then he would have to first win a match before he could challenge Xu Qingzhi. Although this was nothing to Yu Yan, how could he win a match and then fight with Xu Qingzhi?

Yu Yan sneered and took a step forward.

However, when he rushed to the arena, he did not notice Yu Shouye who had hurriedly run downstairs. Naturally, he did not hear the words that Yu Shouye had summoned him to say.

Yu Yan landed steadily in front of Xu Qing, replying with a sneer.

"Duke Huai has such a murderous nature. He should be careful not to lift a rock and smash his own foot with it. After all, this place... It's Chang'an! "

Just as he finished speaking, Yu Yan's third stage Qi suddenly appeared, and the spectators below the stage looked at him in shock.

"It can't be, this is the inner strength aura of a peak rank 3 Magus. Didn't they say that the ancient secret techniques would not be able to adapt well with our bodies?" How could the eldest young master of the Yu Family be so strong? "

"As the number one family in Chang'an, the Yu Family has the support of Senior Minister Zuo Cheng. It's not difficult for them to make some strange objects that could help neutralize the discomfort."

"But that shouldn't be the case?"

"I heard that the eldest young master of the Yu Family has been cultivating in the Ten Severing Grounds all this time. The Ten Severing Grounds … "You should all know what kind of place that is. I presume that the Yu Family's eldest young master had a fortuitous encounter in the ancient lands."

On the fifth floor of the Swallow Tower, Kong Wen was reading a book, but his brows were still furrowed.

On the arena stage, Xu Qingzhi could feel the overflowing aura of Yu Yan, but he remained unmoved.

Xu Qingzhi's Taibai sword was drawn from its sheath and floated around Xu Qing's body like a dragon. The overlord spear in his hand pressed against the ground, causing the arena to tremble slightly.

Yu Yan felt that the Xu Qing in front of him was a little familiar. This kind of scene … He seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

No one noticed that when Xu Qing's overlord spear was pointed at the ground, the wrinkled brows of Kong Wenxian, who was currently reading in Swallow Tower, relaxed into a slight smile.

It was written in the book that in the past, the Martial God Zhao Zilong's spear and sword were invincible. The Azure Rainbow Sword swam around the dragon, and the dragon's gall and bright silver spear pierced into the heart of Zhang Sakang.

Xu Qing was naturally unable to do that step, but this spear and sword duo truly did have the greatest killing power.

"Northwest, Xu Qingzhi."

Yu Qi felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart, but his heart was resolute. He quickly put aside the indescribable discomfort and maintained a fighting posture with all his heart. This was also a type of cultivation that a martial arts master needed to have, as long as they fought, they would not be affected by anything else.

"Chang An, it involves you!"

"..."

The heavy snow in Chang An City had stopped falling by the early afternoon, but the sun had no intention of leaving the city. The entire sky seemed dark and gloomy.

For the common citizens of Chu who had just ended the war between the four great powers, the weather right now was a good illustration of what they were thinking.

"Old Li, do you think our Chu will continue fighting?"

An old man with a limp talked to himself. There was no one around him. He was wrapped in a coat as he looked out at the snow.

"Fight!" "Beat those barbarians to death and avenge us brothers!"

The old man's voice suddenly became stern and his beard trembled.

"But …" "My leg is lame, how can I avenge you two …"

The old man's voice suddenly became a whisper, filled with grief.

Everyone in Chang'an knew that in the western part of the city, there was an alley called Yongan Street. It was a place where elderly people with disabilities lived in, or where young and strong people without homes were seriously injured.

Yongan Street has another name, Veteran Street.

In reality, there were too many disabled veterans living on the streets of Chu, and most of them were quite old. Some were childless, while others were their sons who had died fighting on the battlefield.

This old man was known to everyone on this street or in Chang'an as Li Deng, but he liked it when people called him Old Li. He liked to ignore people calling him Li Deng or Senior Li, but when people called him Old Li, he would happily agree.

However, after agreeing, they would look around in a daze, muttering to themselves about who else … Who else...

Many naughty children would always find Old Li happy, but once the family elders learned of this, they would beat him up according to the rules of their family. Old Li was in Chang'an, and no one could insult him.

That was because he was the commander of the army on the beach in the Yangtze River before the Wu Country invaded Chang'an.

During that war, the Martial Kingdom sent troops to the Yangtze River in the middle of the night to secretly gather troops. The scouts of Qiushui Beach in the Martial Kingdom risked their lives to deliver this information to Old Li.

Old Li knew that he could not hold on to the Qiushui Beach anymore, but he had to send a message to Changan that the martial nation had sent their million strong warriors to cross the river. Thus, after the Qiushui Beach was besieged, Old Li personally led his three thousand cavalrymen to fight their way out of the city under the protection of the Qiushui Beach army.

The soldier that delivered the letter handed it to his captain before turning around to lead a team of soldiers to intercept the incoming troop leader. After that, he handed the letter to the commanding officer and turned around … One by one, they were finally handed over to Old Li.

When Old Li received the letter, out of the three thousand people, he was the only one left.

Old Li looked around in a daze as he watched the army of martial nations catch up to him. He held the letter in his hand and kept mumbling to himself … Who else... Who's still here?

But no one answered him.

Just when Old Li was in despair, the spy from Longguan noticed this group of people and immediately rushed over.

After the letter was delivered to Changan City, Old Li could no longer hold on. From then on, he carried tens of thousands of heroic souls on his back and did not speak to anyone else. He only talked about things that he could understand.

It could be said that if Old Li Qiushui didn't deliver this letter, the unprepared Chu would have been destroyed by the Wu Country in a flash.

No one could understand that on such a terrifying night, a single person was carrying a life-threatening letter as he blankly looked around. After that, Old Li carried the heroic souls of those brothers and walked forward with a heavy burden on his back.

Old Li would never speak to anyone ever again, immersing himself in his own world. However, not a single person in Chang An City dared to mock him. Although Chu Di didn't give the order, those who had mocked the old man in recent years all disappeared for no reason.

Old Li was still muttering to himself.

"Who else? [Don't forget that General Chu is here, and General Qin Liangyu is!]

"That's right …" "The great general is still here …"

At this moment, the disabled veterans of Yongan Street, one by one, left the house on crutches or were led away.

"General Chu's son is battling that Yu Family dog on the stage. We can ignore the rest, but we have to go cheer for the general's son this time!"

"That's right. Back then, if it wasn't for the great general …" Sigh, but this Luosi Yu family and that Zuo... "We cannot be blinded by the fact that he has secretly set up the great general."

Old Li's murky gaze gradually became clear and bright.

"Great General …" Son? Yu Family... The Yu Family! "

Old Li suddenly bellowed, his eyes revealing an ominous glint.

"F * cking Yu family, brothers, I'll take you to see our general's son!"

The surrounding people were all shocked by Old Li's roar, but they didn't fail to understand what Old Li meant by 'brothers'.

After that day, Old Li was no longer alone. He was now surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers.

As a result, a mighty force of nearly a thousand handicapped veterans slowly rushed to the center of the plaza …

"..."

On the stage, Xu Qingzhi and Yu Yan were in a confrontation. Both sides were staring at each other with cold gazes, neither of them wanting to give in.

"Northwest Xu Qingzhi against the array leader An, begin!"

With Kong Shujian's command, the two people on the stage struck out at the same time without missing a beat!

The two of them did not rush and retreat like the battle between Shen Changfeng and Hua Yinyue. The moment they attacked, both sides charged directly at each other!

Yu Yan's palm turned red. This was the signal activated by the Yin Yang Palm of Destiny.

On the other hand, the Taibai longsword in Xu Qinghui's hand lightly rang as it circled around Xu Qinghui's sword like a sword. As long as he found the right time, he would brazenly make his move, slicing his throat with his sword!

The most exaggerated of them all was the overlord spear in Xu Qing's hands. The body of the spear was a scarlet red, and with a single glance, one would feel a sense of viciousness.

Both sides were startled by the first probing exchange.

"Duke Huai, you really have some skills, but … "It's just that the Overlord Spear is strange."

Yu Qi was forced back seven steps by Xu Qing as he spoke with his hands behind his back. However, the people behind him could clearly see that the hands behind his back were constantly shaking …

Xu Qingzhi was also not much better off than Yu Xuan. He was forced six steps back. It seemed like Xu Qingzhi had taken advantage of him, but no one noticed the blood that Xu Qingzhi forcefully swallowed.

If not for the overlord spear in his hand, Xu Qingzhi would not have been this much of a match for him.

Xu Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and gazed at Yu Qi. Although he had used his overlord spear to block that palm, it was an extremely strange one, first, it was an extremely dark and cold palm force that passed through the overlord spear and into Xu Qing's body, causing him to suffer from no small amount of shock. Then, it burned like fire, as if it wanted to burn Xu Qing's internal organs.

"Have you been talking so much nonsense?"

The Righteous Sword Qi technique that Wang Jing had taught him included the sword style's movement technique and the method to cultivate inner strength. This movement technique was the most fluent technique in Xu Qingzhi's cultivation, and it was Wang Jing who combined it with the Righteous Sword Qi to improve the ability of the Righteous Sword Qi to increase the power of the Righteous Sword Qi by ten thousand li.

In the world, the most powerful movement technique was known as the Eight Steps to Chasing Cicada, which was derived from the Lotus Blooming Step by Step from the Buddhist Sect.

However, the Eightstep Cicada only sought to kill with every step. Speed was just a secondary goal. The real reason why it was ranked in the top three was because it had the ability to produce lotuses with every step, but was not as difficult to learn as Lotus with every step.

Currently, Wang Mingyang was the only one who had mastered the Profound Rippling Steps to the Large Success Stage. However, all of the Wudang disciples had learnt the derived Floating Soars across all of them.

Kong Sheng had once used a gentleman to travel tens of thousands of miles, traveling all over the world. However, when he finally came to a stop, he shook his head and used his finger to point at the sky, but no one knew what Kong Sheng saw when he lifted that step, causing him to step back.

However, Wang Jing had changed his movement technique to make up for the lack of initial movement speed. With the support of the Righteous Sword Qi, his instantaneous impact speed was comparable to the small success rate of Ripple Tiny Steps.

On the stage, Xu Qingzhi thrust out his spear, shooting out like a bolt of lightning!

On the other side, Yu Yan also hadn't expected that Xu Qing would still be able to move so quickly after his attack. He didn't believe that he would be completely unharmed by Yin Yang Palm and Xu Qing's attack. On the other hand, Yu Yan never thought that Xu Qing would have such an explosive speed. However, he was not a playboy either. He released the inner strength of a third level martial artist, causing the charging Xu Qing Zhi to pause.

In this short period of time, Yu Yan attacked brazenly.

"Heaven and Earth … Limitless! "

Yu Yan's palms crossed each other, wanting to use both palms to clash with the overlord spear!

However, Xu Qingzhi did not believe that Yu Qi was seeking his own death, because that previous attack had already caused Xu Qingzhi to discover the strangeness of Yu Qi's palm technique. Perhaps his spear could pierce through his palm and heavily injure him, but he would definitely be killed by this strange palm technique.

As a result, Xu Qing swung his spear, but its momentum did not decrease, and instead increased its speed.

"Overlord Unarmored!"
