Chapter 777: Zhu Jie's Death (Part 2)
As soon as Fu Qian finished speaking, the entire Manqing Building suddenly fell silent. Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan are now famous in the martial arts world, especially after the three of them defeated Qu Ao together and forced him to issue a withdrawal declaration.
Who is Qu Ao? He is a top master outside the Great Wall, and his reputation is only second to Bi Xuan. The only people who can compare with him are Zhao Deyan, the magic commander of DTZ, and Yun Shuai, the national teacher of Western Turkic. Such people returned in defeat in the Central Plains, and the sensation caused can be imagined.
Even if it is three against one, it cannot cover up the reputation of Shuanglong and Ba Fenghan. It can be said that among the younger generation, Shuanglong and Ba Fenghan are the objects of admiration of many people, especially for Shuanglong. Defeating Qu Ao will really make the top figures look at them in the right eyes, rather than just being lucky hooligans.
Shuanglong's origin is different from Shen Fei's, and it is very easy to check. Before the two entered Luoyang, whether it was Li Shimin, Shen Luoyan, or Qian Qian, they all thought that the two were just lucky for a while, and even many smart people did not think that the two knew the real secret of Yang Gong's treasure.
For example, Li Shimin, Shen Luoyan, Qian Qian, etc., what is the first element of smart people? Naturally, it is self-confidence. In their opinion, Fu Jun'er is a Goguryeo person after all, and she came to assassinate Yang Guang, so it is naturally impossible for her to tell Shuanglong the secret of Yang Gong's treasure.
So after Li Shimin failed to recruit them, he immediately gave up. If Li Shimin knew that the two had the secret of Yang Gong's treasure at that time, he would never give up so easily. Maybe he would kill Shuanglong directly. After all, for the Li family, when they can't get Yang Gong's treasure, then making them disappear is a better choice for the Li family.
In this time of war among the heroes, the Li clan has already occupied a great advantage. Even if they get Yang Gong's treasure, it is just icing on the cake. But if other forces get it, it will be a timely help.
Shen Luoyan's situation is similar to Li Shimin's. It would be best if he could recruit two people. After all, if he wants to unify the world, he will always lack people. Even if he can't recruit them, the loss will not be too big. So when Shen Luoyan made a bet with Shuanglong and Qin Shubao, she chased Qin Shubao instead of Shuanglong. When she realized the threat of Shuanglong, it was too late.
The reason why Qianqian contacted Shuanglong was mainly because the two of them practiced Changsheng Jue, one of the four great books. After breaking through with Changsheng Jue, they left without even confirming Shuanglong's life or death.
It was not until Shuanglong and Ba Fenghan escaped from Qu Ao and the pursuit of the Demon Sect and entered Luoyang that Qianqian really changed her attitude.
The reason for this situation is very simple. Shuanglong's origin is too low, and he missed the best time for cultivation. Didn't you see that although Song Lu was surprised by Shuanglong's qualifications at the beginning, he didn't recruit them.
"Haha, the prince may be disappointed. Ba Shao has left, but since the prince is interested in giving some pointers, let me learn from the prince's tricks."
Fu Qian's words made Kou Zhong's eyes flash with a cold light. For Kou Zhong, the most intolerable thing is to look down on him and despise him. Shuanglong was very tempted to recruit him by the Li family. As a result, Chai Shao and others looked down on him, so Shuanglong immediately rejected the recruitment of the Li family.
While talking, Kou Zhong picked up the moon in the well on one side, opened the door, walked out of the room, came to the corridor, and looked directly at Fu Qian standing opposite.
The whole Manqing Building can be said to be a huge courtyard. There are four three-story buildings in the southeast, northwest, and a courtyard with a length and width of nearly 100 meters in the middle. There are rockery, wooden bridges, flowing water, flowers and other scenery in the courtyard.
"Since Ba Fenghan is not here, forget it."
Seeing that only Kou Zhong came out, Fu Qian immediately lost interest in taking action. In Fu Qian's opinion, Shuanglong and Ba Fenghan were able to defeat Qu Ao, and the main force was obviously Ba Fenghan. Without fighting Shuanglong all the way and watching them grow, it is hard to believe that someone's strength can improve so quickly.
For Fu Qian, he came to the Central Plains this time to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to establish his prestige, and Qu Ao was the object of his prestige. Tiele and Tuyuhun have been mortal enemies for many years. If they can take this opportunity to defeat or kill Qu Ao, it will be a very good opportunity for Tuyuhun.
In addition to establishing prestige, Fu Qian's other purpose is to see if he can find an opportunity to kill Pei Ju, who caused the chaos outside the Great Wall. For those high-level officials outside the Great Wall, Pei Ju can be said to be the person they hate the most. With just a few words, he caused chaos outside the Great Wall for decades, with countless casualties.
Although strictly speaking, the main reason for this situation is their own ambition. If they can work together, how could Shi Zhixuan let the Turks outside the Great Wall split directly into the East and West Turks with just a few words?
This kind of split, even Bi Xuan has no way to stop it, not to mention the split of the East and West Turks, Bi Xuan can't stop it, even if it is the fight between Jie Li and Tu Li in DTZ, he can't stop it, he can only suppress the situation to a certain extent, so as not to let DTZ completely mess up.
However, Fu Qian gave up this idea after knowing that Pei Ju was Shi Zhixuan. Even if Fu Qian was confident, he couldn't be confident when facing the evil king Shi Zhixuan.
"Is that so, then let me experience the prince's high skills."
Kou Zhong said, and his figure instantly fell from the corridor to the middle courtyard, his eyes looking directly at Fu Qian. When he walked out of the room, Kou Zhong had made up his mind to establish his prestige in the world today.
The appearance of Shen Fei caused fundamental changes in many things. Originally, the relationship between Shuanglong and Fu Qian was still good, but now, this relationship is gone. That is, Fu Qian is the prince of Tuyuhun, otherwise Shen Fei would really Want to keep him.
"Haha, since Brother Kou is interested, why don't you let me, Xing Yifei, come and ask for advice?"
Before Fu Qian could speak, a thin young man in his twenties who was standing next to Fu Qian suddenly walked out. After seeing Fu Qian nodded slightly, he jumped into the courtyard with two swords on his back. Among them, we can know from his movement skills that he is also a strong master.
Seeing that neither Fu Qian nor Kou Zhong, nor even Fu Qian's men took his host seriously, Wang Bo's face immediately darkened. However, even if he wanted to stop this situation, he could not. Can't do it.
Behind Kou Zhong is the King of Tang, the owner of Luoyang City. It would be uncomfortable to provoke the opponent in Luoyang. As for Fu Qian on the other side, as the prince of Tuyuhun outside the Great Wall, he naturally will not care about a king Bo from the Central Plains. .
Wang Bo may still have some reputation in the Central Plains, but outside the Great Wall, he has no reputation.
"Brother Kou, please."
Xing Yifei, who was holding two swords in both hands, signaled with his hands that he was ready when he walked to the other side of the wooden bridge ten meters away from Kou Zhong.
For a moment, the entire Manqing Courtyard was silent. Whether it was the people in the lobby on the first floor or the people in the private rooms on the third floor, they couldn't help but look at the two people in the courtyard. Many people in the private rooms even walked out of the room and came to the corridor. Go up and watch the two fight.
Among them, Li Xiuning, who was disguised as a man, came to the corridor accompanied by Hong Fu and others and looked at Kou Zhong below with complicated eyes.
Li Xiuning's feelings for Kou Zhong were very complicated. When the two met for the first time, she could naturally see the look in Kou Zhong's eyes. However, at that time, Li Xiuning didn't care too much about Kou Zhong. After all, there was nothing surprising about Kou Zhong at that time. place, even if they get the Dongming Sect's account books.
It wasn't until Kou Zhong became famous later that Li Xiuning remembered him.
This is very normal. Who is Li Xiuning? She is the legitimate daughter of the Li clan. There are countless people who admire her. If she does not have a certain status or strength, let alone pursuing her, I am afraid that she is not even qualified to see her face. .
In fact, even the current Shuangyong is the same. The biggest wish of the former Shuangyong was to go to Tianxian Tower in Yangzhou. When they met Su Su for the first time, the two of them were shocked. Yun Yuzhen was a little too high for both of them. Pan, but now, Yun Yuzhen and others are completely ignored by them. It is even thanks to the two of them that Shen Luoyan treats Yun Yuzhen so favorably.
The beauties who could come into the sight of the two of them were all extremely beautiful and talented.
"Brother Xing, be careful."
As he spoke, Koo Zhong's figure instantly crossed the wooden bridge in front and appeared in front of Xing Yifei. Jing Zhongyue unsheathed his sword instantly, and the yellow sword light flashed in the air, and he appeared in front of Xing Yifei instantly.
Xing Yifei, who was originally confident, changed his face. The two knives in his hands crossed in front of him for the first time. As the knives in their hands touched, there was a loud bang, and Xing Yifei's body couldn't help but Flying upside down in mid-air, Xing Yi flew out and spit out a large mouthful of blood involuntarily. At the same time, only the handles of the two swords in his hands were left.
boom.
Xing Yifei flew upside down. After flying nearly twenty meters, he fell heavily to the ground, directly creating a human-shaped pit on the ground. At the same time, blue crystals appeared in the pit. , those are ice crystals.
"Yifei."
Seeing that his number one general couldn't even catch Kou Zhong's sword, Fu Qian's expression immediately changed. At the same time, his figure immediately appeared next to Xing Yifei, helping him up, and at the same time using his skills, wanting to help Xing Yifei. Fly to drive away the cold in the body.
However, when his true energy was introduced into Xing Yifei's body, he felt the chaos of the true energy in his meridians, and his expression changed again. After a long time, Fu Qian finally calmed down the chaotic true energy in Xing Yifei's body.
"Your Highness, be careful."
After Xing Yifei recovered, he immediately reminded Fu Qian to pay attention, and at the same time told him in detail the situation of Kou Zhong's knife attack just now.
As the top general under Fu Qian, Xing Yifei's martial arts is not weak. Under normal circumstances, the current Kou Zhong is stronger than him, but it is impossible to win with one blow.
But who told Xing Yifei not to understand Kou Zhong's situation? The strange true energy brought by the Immortality Art and the strange spiral energy, after the first contact, let alone someone whose strength was lower than him, even if he was Those who are stronger than him will also suffer big losses accidentally.
Even Shi Zhixuan, facing the spiral energy of the Immortality Art for the first time, was caught off guard and suffered a small loss.
Under Shen Fei's guidance, Shuanglong has now developed the attributes of his true energy very well. Kou Zhong's coldness and Xu Ziling's blazing heat. In time, Xu Ziling can even use his blazing heat to resist the heat of Bi Xuan's Yanyang Qigong. question.
Shen Fei was very curious about Shuanglong's spiral energy, but he didn't know if this was the unique attribute of Double Dragon. Shen Fei gave up after studying it for a few days and found that he had no clue. The spiral energy was more powerful than ordinary infuriating energy. , but he doesn’t have to learn it.
"This knife is very good. You are now among the top masters." In the private room, Qianqian looked at Kou Zhong's knife, and looked at Kou Zhong in the courtyard with a complicated expression, as well as Xu Ziling beside him. When she thought of the two people before, even she couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, do you want to take a break?"
"There is no need for that. I really didn't expect Brother Kou's martial arts to have reached this level. I wonder how Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling compare?"
After letting his men help Xing Yifei leave, Fu Qian stayed in the courtyard. The current situation did not allow him to retreat. If he retreated here, it would not only have a major impact on his reputation, but more importantly, it would inevitably create a psychological gap in martial arts.
"Equally matched."
"Is that so? Please."
After seeing Kou Zhong's strength, Fu Qian had deep doubts about Qu Ao's one-on-three situation. If Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan both had similar strengths to Kou Zhong, Qu Ao might not necessarily win in a one-on-one fight, let alone a one-on-three fight.
However, Fu Qian did not ask what happened between Kou Zhong and his three friends and Qu Ao. It was very simple. Fu Qian had fought with Qu Ao before. Tiele and Tuyuhun were almost mortal enemies. They were the kind of two who would either win or lose. The two sides had fought too many times.
"Please."
As soon as the words fell, Kou Zhong and Fu Qian attacked almost at the same time. Their swords and fists collided directly in the air. The powerful collision of true qi directly destroyed the beautifully built wooden bridge in the courtyard.
After learning about Kou Zhong's spiral qi and coldness from Xing Yifei, Fu Qian immediately had a way to deal with it.
If Kou Zhong defeated Xing Yifei with a sword before, the group did not have a specific understanding of Kou Zhong's strength, and many people even thought that Xing Yifei was too weak, then Kou Zhong's fight with Fu Qian immediately made people understand Kou Zhong's strength.
Every time the swords and fists of the two collided, they would cause huge damage to the surroundings, so that the originally pleasant courtyard became a mess at this time.
Fu Qian's punches didn't seem to be anything special, but Kou Zhong had to deal with each of his punches seriously. Fu Qian was also very careful with Kou Zhong's knife, which made him regret why he didn't bring any weapons with him.
"How is it possible?"
Hong Fu, who was beside Li Xiuning, looked at the two people who were fighting, and her expression was very shocked. Although this was the first time Hong Fu met Kou Zhong, she still had some understanding of Shuanglong from Li Jing's mouth.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Du Fuwei's pursuit, Shuanglong might have been abducted by Li Jing to the Li family. Li Jing's strength improvement was already fast, but compared with Kou Zhong, it was completely incomparable.
Li Xiuning, who was beside Hong Fu, looked at Kou Zhong, who was waving the Moon in the Well and was full of passion, and his expression was even more complicated. Shuanglong, who practiced the Changsheng Jue, had a strange charm in their temperament.
"Haha, it's great, how about we stop here."
After another clash of fists and swords, Kou Zhong and Fu Qian each retreated five steps. After seeing the mess around them, Fu Qian immediately thought of a ceasefire. He and Kou Zhong had no grudges against each other. If they continued, it would not be a good thing if either of them got hurt.
"Okay." After Kou Zhong took a look at the surroundings, he nodded immediately.
