By the ti and the others, other than Kou Zhong, threeKou Zhong’s ‘compensation’, the owner of the shack ran even faster than anybody else
In fact, everybody in that entire relay station left as soon as possible, sihu vendetta, but a battle between the Li Clan and the Shao Shuai Ar put the wine cups on the table and arranged the calm and unruffled in the midst of chaos, he said, “This is the most formidable battle fore of the fore for could not help reht in Luoyang, when they aiting for shi+ Feixuan, as going to punish the on how to break the siege But because the situation changed, they could not carryout their plan; finally today they would be able to use it Only instead of Ba Fenghan, they had Tuli
Kou Zhong went on, “Khan’s Eagle-Subduing Spear isto worry on the rear, you can unleash the strong points of the spear Therefore, at the start of breaking the siege, Khan is in charge of striking the head of the forether, were standing in fan for the three from a distance They were not anxious to attack at all This has given the three the opportunity to look at the ene Qiaoli or the rest of the Tujue warriors They did recognize some, ere Li Mi’s lackeys in the past, like Two Malevolent of Changbai, Fu Ye and Fu Yan, two brothers [previously it was Fu Zhen and Fu Yan, Book 12 Chapter 2] These two’sthat Li Yuan’s reinforcement troops of martial art masters have arrived No wonder as soon as they received the news, they did not have anyattitude
To Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, it was the first time that they met everybody else There were three who particularly attracted their attention, of which a short and thin old ht only reached the big-and-tall,Li Yuanji’s shoulders, and he appeared to be skin-and-bones thin, as if a bit stronger breeze would sweep hi eyes, it was clear that this ht to be a martial art master of Li Mi, Du Fuwei, and the likes’ level
He was standing proud to Li Yuanji’s right; there was a sword hanging on his waist, his manner was leisurely and coard of the threeup this gentleman, Tuli spoke in low voice, “This man is ‘Old Monkey’ Li Nantian, a martial art master of elder level within the Li Clan, Li Yuan’s cousin [orig tangxiong, older male cousin from father’s side]; even uards Who could have thought that even he also ca asked, “Who are those two on Li Yuanji’s left?”
Tuli replied, “Theface like a horse, is called ‘(Sound of) Thunder Saber’ Qin Wutong, a fa Dao Fa’ [(Sound of) Thunder Saber Technique], his naolia]; he shares the same fame as the otherYu, Yuchi Jingde, and the others The otherblack with a spear is called Qiu Tianjue, Li Jiancheng’s favorite general; his , a Guanzhong’s local rising younghad deep knowledge Pang Yu and the others’ level of expertise Since Tuli corasp the depth of these three men’s martial art skill, while at the same time understood the reason why Li Yuanji was this confident
Looking at the other nine, none could not be included in the rank of th, they had enough power to leave the three far behind Moreover, Li Yuanji’s reinforceht ought to be the three, rather than Li Yuanji’s side
Kou Zhong rose up to his full height and laughed heartily He said, “Li Yuanji, since you are so full of yourself, I wonder if you dare to fight one-on-one against ”
One of the , curved-bladed -leaf saber, and shouted loudly, “No need to kill a chicken using a butcher knife Kou Zhong, you want to seek death, but it is not easy; let me fulfill your wish”
This was the first ti -leaf saber Laughing aloud, he said, “Since you have the impertinence to brandish broadsword in front of Guan Ye [referring to Guan Yu of the Rodoms], I’ll use you as a warm up exercise Report your name; Laozi’s Moon in the Well has never killed a na the last sentence, which was borrowed fro s’s ainst us, brothers? If your honorable subordinate can block Kou Zhong’s three saber strikes head-on, ill have our hands tied and wait to be captured But if not, you will pack up and roll back to Guanzhong, don’t bother us here any called hi welled up in his heart And then he also noticed the heroic-spirit-shooting-straight-to-the-heavens word ‘ a bet’, the blood in his entire body boiled over, his fighting spirit soared to its peak Copying the two boys, he no longer cared about life or death, gains or losses; he only hoped to have a big fight right then and there
Everybody in Li Yuanji’s side looked at each other in shock Thewas called the ‘Willow-Leaf Saber’ Diao Ang, one of the three xi Pai, the biggest sect in Guanzhong He was known to everyone in Guanzhong If anybody said that he was unable to block Kou Zhong’s three saber strikes, nobody would believe it, so it was indeed a gamble
The problem was: man has a name, tree has a shadow
Such a local , whose name shook the land under heaven, basically it was difficult to co, who never liked to blow his conch shell, dared to ‘utter wild ravings’, naturally relying on his superior eyesight, he was able to see that Diao Ang would not last ’s hands
The elder brother of the Two Malevolent of Changbai Mountain, the ‘Long-handled Axe’ Fu Zhen, ell aware that Kou and Xu were able to produce e moves in innumerable succession – rushed forward in front of Li Yuanji and shouted coldly, “Diao Xiong, don’t be confused with his words, just have a free hand in attacking the ene’s confidence already suffered setback, noeakened thirty-percent ainst the enemy, was not optimistic about this three-move bet
On Li Yuanji’s side, everybody’s eyes lost their luster; they all felt that under the circuht, offhand remark, has put a lot of pressure on the-momentum was unable to lift up
However, clearly they could not change the situation Could it be that they need to pull Diao Ang back and have so their face, the entire croould attack together?
The fact was that their reinforce over from everywhere, Li Yuanji would beblankly at the !
Thishad already stepped forward and stopped loftily about a zhang in front of Diao Ang Giggling, he said, “How should I address Xiongtai?”
Diao Ang groaned inwardly, knowing that if he could not withstand the opponent’s three saber strikes, he did not need tohis own spirit, he shouted, “Diao Ang of Longxi Pai, asking to experience Shao Shuai’s saber technique!”
Suddenly his saber
A renowned experthis move, indeed it was not an ordinary le was tricky The ant and swift characteristics were displayed to extreme saturation There was softness in the es produced in the midst of soft, the momentum was difficult to fathom
However, compared to Yun Shuai’s crescent moon saber, the difference was like heaven and earth, cloud and htly swayed aside, as if he was flashi+ng to the left, but also looked like he was about to ht, so much so that the impression was that he was about to retreat swiftly, but suddenly he was already at Diao Ang’s left side,the opponent’s swift and fierce saber strike by a fraction of a hairsbreadth
Diao Ang was about to seize this opportunity to pursue and attack, when so to his right and as fast as lightning chopped down on his head
The Fu brothers’ countenance ied They sa both in ter was eventhan before; how could their hearts not turn ti’s soul fleay and scattered He sidestepped and swiftly retreated, while sweeping his saber again with all his hed aloud; his feet ed fro!’ he blocked theleaf saber
While Diao Ang was at a loss of what to do, the two sabers clashed; a burst of energy co more bitter than if he was unable to block the opponent’s saber force He only felt that his own strength was bursting out like tidal waves,down
When everybody on Li Yuanji’s side was crying inwardly for the situation that has turned fro sent his power into his saber and ’sleaf saber immediately left his hand and flew up into the air while spinning continuously
Lightly and effortlessly Kou Zhong knocked Diao Ang’s, as tuly very gentle and without any power, yet the latter was i like a kit with cut string, and finally fell to the ground without being able to rise again, stirring up a cloud of dust around hi even half a glance toward Diao Ang, he returned the saber into its scabbard With his hands behind his back, he faced Li Yuanji, whose countenance, which was unsightly to begin with, has becoh, “Ling Shao overestimated him too much!”
Twoiron chain clael and awl spear, respectively, to attack Kou Zhong
These tere martial art masters under Li Yuanji’s command; they knew that if they failed to recover a little bit of face on Li Yuanji’s behalf, they would be done for
Theleaf saber, which was falling from the air, had just landed about five chi in front of Kou Zhong Kou Zhong strode forward; poking with his left foot he hit theleaf saber’s hilt, theleaf saber turned into a rainbow Following a dark-colored natural curvature, it shot up fro, unfathomably swift and fierce like alaunched the Sudden Strike froht Methods of the Well’, thea streak of yellow light, swiftly e that even brilliant masters of the opposite side like Li Yuanji and Li Nantian could not even tell which one was the real target of Kou Zhong’s attack
An indescribable feeling welled up in Xu Ziling’s heart, knowing that ever since Kou Zhong had the opportunity to peek into the secret of the saber way of Heavenly Saber Song Que, and then going through study and practice these past few days, his saber technique finally reat mastery
It happened so fast that even the eyes were unable to keep up ‘Qiang! Qiang!’ two rings exploded like a string of pearls, two martial art h by the saber that he screamed miserably and fell back, the other one was even ’s saber He was hacked that his body and his claround and throay, and landed in the middle of Li Yuanji’s troop formation, seriously injured
In the blink of an eye, the enemy had three persons wounded in defeat Such in to expect
Kou Zhong’s ht toward the enemy ranks, the enormous-without-equal saber qi inti his head back, he let out a long laughter and said, “Who wants to kill rily; waving his hand, he tossed his outer robe aside, revealing tight warrior outfit wrapping his sturdy body Holding his spear across his chest, he said, “I don’t need any help!”
Finished speaking, he strode forward carrying his spear toand a half in front of Kou Zhong, and proudly said, “Kou Xiong’s name is indeed not in vain This spear of Yuanji is called ‘Splitting Horse’; it isnu a hundred and twenty catties The front part of the spear body has blood repellant; even if it pierces Kou Xiong’s body, it will be difficult for Kou Xiong’s blood to flow along the spear, so it won’t stain ’s eyes was flashi+ng, he fixed his gaze without blinking on Li Yuanji, whose aggressiveness soared to the sky An elegant smile appeared on the corner of his rew into colorful, brilliant-like-the-sun s is willing to give rateful Please!”
