Chapter 673 – Esteemed Instructor
An Zheng felt a little guilty … Qu Liuxi had told him a thousand times not to use the Cultivation Power to fight with others. In the end, not only did he move, he moved a lot. Ever since his cultivation level had reached the Higher Completion Stage, he had not used his Heavenly Thunder Shower, and in fact, after An Zheng returned, he had only used his Heavenly Thunder Shower two or three times.
And the Heavenly Thunder Shower An Zheng used in Fire Beacon City, was also a kind of declaration.
Five kilometers away from Fire Beacon City, the surroundings were scorched earth. Feng Xiuyang who was dressed in white stood there and looked back at Fire Beacon City that had disappeared, and shook his head: “How do I kill it?”
How should I cut it?
He turned around and disappeared withourace.
Fifty miles away from Fire Beacon City, Lu Deng hurried back with his face covered in dirt. He turned his head to look and saw that the black smoke was rising up like a cloud. It was the end of Fire Beacon City. Not only did it break five hundred and reacundred thousand, it even destroyed a hundred thousand and a city.
Of course, the final result was beyond An Zheng’s expectations. He was waiting for Chen Zhongxu’s army to arrive at the critical moment and snatch away the credit. It was just that he did not expect Chen Zhongxu to keep his cool.
After walking for half a kilometer, the steam had finally died down, and the temperature around them seemed cool and refreshing. He thought that although he had lost twelve blade artists, it was not an unbearable loss after all. He still had two internal and external blades. In time, training another twelve sword artists would not be a big deal.
With Fire Beacon City destroyed, he was in a hurry to go back and see Chen Zhongxu.
Fortunately, there was still some luck amidst this misfortune.
Then he saw a bamboo forest in the distance, and a carriage parked by the edge of the bamboo forest. There was no one outside the carriage, so he couldn’t see the coachman. Although it looked like an ordinary horse, it could still be used. So after thinking about it for a while, Lu Deng decided to take the horse away.
He came to the side of the carriage and was about to untie the reins when he saw the warhorse give him a snort with a disdainful expression.
Then he was stunned, suddenly feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange.
The curtains of the carriage were lifted from the inside, revealing a man and a woman inside. The man looked to be around 30 years old, which was when his strength was at its peak. He was wearing a long robe made of sackcloth that was not worth much money. The moon-white clothes made him look somewhat scholarly. However, it was only his clothes that gave off a scholarly air. If he shifted his gaze to the side and saw the sheathless saber leaning against the horse carriage, that scholarly air would vanish completely.
If the clothes were clouds, then the saber would be a bolt of lightning.
It seemed that man was gentle and kind, and his expression wasn’t sharp. He didn’t even raise his head, nor did he look at Lu Deng. But Lu Deng didn’t want him to look at him, not ever. This was because he was very clear on one thing. If this man with the knife were to look right at him, then he wouldn’t be far from death.
Beside the man sat a woman with a faint smile on her face. That woman was very beautiful. Even if a man with a knife sat there, he still didn’t seem to fit her well. She was originally an arrogant girl, and in this world, she only accepted the tender love of a man. She was sitting upright in the carriage with a long sword on her knee. The long sword’s edge was covered by the scabbard, but her eyes were sharper than when she drew her long sword.
Lu Deng had seen all sorts of women, but this woman was one he could never approach nor reach. It was because she was too cold, too beautiful, and too noble. He was like a snow lotus blooming on a snowy mountain. Unless she wanted to, whoever got close to her would freeze to death.
“He fled in panic.”
The cold and arrogant woman shook her head slightly. “It really doesn’t seem like your style.”
Lu Deng laughed awkwardly: “Huangfu, what do you mean by that? In the great victory just now, I coordinated with Mr. Ye and five hundred men to break through Fire Beacon City and kill a hundred thousand enemies. Even though I am also injured, and even though I have lost twelve disciples, I have managed to accomplish something big, and will not disappoint you, your highness. ”
Huangfu Qing gave an ‘oh’. “Why did the Prince keep you here at that time?”
Lu Deng took a step back. “What are you trying to do?”
Huangfu Qingqing said, “While I was sitting here waiting for you, after thinking about it, I finally understood one thing. The prince originally wanted to keep you, not because you were really that good at doing things, but precisely because you wererson who only knew how to do things on the surface, superficial and selfish, and didn’t have much ability to do things. In terms of cultivation, you are considered an expert after entering the Higher Completion Stage. But if the prince wanted to hire people, he would be much stronger than you. “Because His Royal Highness doesn’t want others to say that he uses elites among elites, elites among elites, experts among elites. That way, no one would believe that His Royal Highness is really just a casual prince.”
“The Prince was afraid of provoking jealousy, so even the servants had to think twice before they could, and he was tired as well. With just your little thoughts, Your Highness’ eyes are like Demonic Mirror, you have been able to see through everything. ”
Lu Deng took another step back: “I got it, you saw that I have rendered a great merit, and you want to snatch it right? But the fact that I cooperated with Mr. Ye’s attack on Fire Beacon City was pointed out by the king. You think you can steal it? Furthermore, if you want to kill me, aren’t you afraid that the Prince will kill you? ”
Huangfu Qing slightly smiled: “I’m really not afraid, what should I do?”
She looked at the man with the blade: “Su Mengmu, are you afraid?”
Su Mengmu shook his head: “I’m here to accompany you, I’m only here to accompany you.”
Huangfu Qing sighed and said, “It seems that in this world, only Your Highness can make you do things.”
Su Mengmu lowered her head and said: “Because other people do not have the qualifications.”
Huangfu Qing shrugged his shoulders. To think that such a cold and proud woman was not angered by Su Mengmu’s words. She slowly got up, holding her sword as she got off the carriage. At this time, Lu Deng had already retreated nearly ten steps back. He wanted to retreat again, but he was afraid that he would lose too much in terms of momentum.
“The prince used you becauserson like you had to exist at that time. Now, you don’t need to exist. ”
“Huangfu Qing!”
Lu Deng pointed at Huangfu Qing’s face and shouted, “Don’t forget what the Prince said when he gathered all four of us. Your highness let all four of us swear an oath together. Do you dare to go against the oath? Even if the oath does not have any power under the contract, are you not afraid of being struck by lightning? ”
Huangfu Qing gave an “oh”. “That’s right, there’s still an oath like that. Although I’m certain I won’t be thunderstruck even if I kill you, I still have to abide by the oath I made myself. His Royal Highness had said that the four of you must love each other and work for me in the future. You must not engage in internal strife or kill each other. The wielder swore to the sword that he would not harm his companion’s life with his own sword. “Those who use the blade swear to the blade that you all will be worthy of your magic tools and will not be able to break your oath. Those who violate this oath will be struck by lightning by the heavens.”
She turned her head. “Will this oath really strike lightning in the heavens?”
Su Mengmu: “Maybe.”
She asked, “Then what do we do?”
Su Mengmu sighed: “If you want to use the blade, why don’t you just say it?”
Huangfu Qing smiled: “I’m afraid you won’t lend it to me!”
She extended her hand, and the blade by Su Mengmu’s side flew over. That girl was already very tall, and could be considered one of the most outstanding amongst the girls. She was wearing a very bright short dress with slightly wide sleeves. The clothes had the design of maple leaves and flowers on them, making her look extremely beautiful. However, when she moved forward with the long blade in her hand, she was indescribably beautiful, unimaginable, and her cold and proud demeanor carried a sense of killing intent.
The blade descended, and Lu Deng’s blade broke.
With two slashes, Lu Deng’s protective qi barrier shattered.
Three slashes, a hole appeared in Lu Deng’s chest.
After the four cuts, Lu Deng’s shoulders were left with only his shoulders, and his arms were flung out.
With five cuts, Lu Deng’s lower abdomen was cut open, and his intestines started bleeding profusely.
Six blades landed, Lu Deng’s head also fell.
She sheathed her knife and threw it backwards, faster than she could imagine. However, when the blade flew in front of Su Mengmu, it actually stopped in mid air, and was unable to move an inch. Su Mengmu looked at the blade, it flew to the side and dropped quietly, as though it did not move at all.
The blade was unstained with blood.
“I could have killed him with the second slash. Why did I need four more slashes?”
“How could it be that easy to use your blade? If it wasn’t for the prince’s order for you to accompany me, I’m afraid I would never need that blade to show off my skills. It’s really quite useful.”
Su Mengmu shook his head: “The blade was used by you to such a degree, how about it?”
He snapped his fingers. “Little brother, let’s go home.”
The ordinary looking horse gave a cry before turning around and pulling the carriage back. The horse carriage wobbled, but this was not a big road, so it was bumpy. Huangfu Qing asked, “Can’t you change it to a better beast? The Hundred Beasts Cage in the King’s Mansion is for you to choose, why must it be an old horse? ”
“He’s not old, he’s a few years younger than me. He’s my little brother.”
Su Mengmu closed her eyes, reached out and grabbed the blade by her side and hugged it: “Just now, above Fire Beacon City, that was Heavenly Thunder Shower, right?”
Huangfu Qingqing nodded his head. “It should be so. Other than those forbidden techniques, what other cultivation technique could be so overbearing and unreasonable?”
Su Mengmu’s eyes were still closed, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep: “Do you know why I allowed you to use my blade move just now?”
“Got it.”
Huangfu Qing heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had released something. “When you saw that Heavenly Thunder Shower earlier, your blade was ready to move. You lent me your knife because you wanted me to release the murderous intent from your swing for you. You asked me why I used six slashes, because one less slash isn’t enough. Do you know why I used your swagger? Do you really believe that you will be struck by lightning if you break that oath? ”
“You …” Isn’t it just as if he was ready to make a move? “I don’t dare to grasp a blade, nor do you dare to grasp a sword. If I grab onto a sword, I won’t be able to hold myself back.”
Su Mengmu closed her eyes and said: “Little brother, can you be a bit faster? “I’m a bit tired, I want to go back and sleep.”
The old horse chirped and actually soared into the sky.
Who said that ordinary horses could not fly?
High up in the sky, the Seven Treasures Chariot.
Chen Zhongxu sat on the chair with a black leopard skin and started reading. He was a little tired, so he rubbed his eyes and then looked out the window. In the distance, the black pillar of smoke shot up into the sky like a giant pillar that supported the heavens.
“Father said that Fire Beacon City is not worth mentioning. That old man is sick in his heart.”
Chen Zhongxu put down the book in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief: “I can’t do anything about it, after all... That is my teacher. ”
