Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhao Zhen walked out of the imperial study, stood in the courtyard, raised his face, and watched the eye-catching crack in the air shatter into ice slags and fall.

Not only Zhao Zhen was watching, but the people in Kaifeng City were also watching. Everyone had only one thought at this moment—why did the sky split open?Some kind of damnation?

However...accompanied by a long cry from the sea dragon hovering in mid-air, a black figure rushed out from the crack...In the blue and cloudless sky, two figures, one red and one white, chased the black shadow away at the same time .

Zhao Zhen looked up for a while and then turned back to see Nangong who had been bandaged by Gongsun and was standing behind him looking at the sky.

As an emperor, he has been recruiting talents all his life, hoping that people can work for him.The so-called selling one's life is based on the premise of buying one's life... However, human life cannot and should not be bought and sold, so it is an absurd idea to think that someone will sell one's life for you.

So what is it that makes others willing to sacrifice their lives for you?It is difficult even for ordinary people, let alone a martial artist with unique skills, or an arrogant knight?

Zhao Zhen took his eyes away from Nangong - Nangong Ji would die for him, not only because of his duties, but also because of the friendship they had been together for decades.Human life is really precious, and more than 20 years of deep friendship can be exchanged for going through fire and water and sacrificing one's life.So how stupid it is to try to buy a proud Jianghu person with fame and fortune.

The figures of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were beyond Zhao Zhen's line of sight, and many guards who knew kung fu went up to the roof to continue watching.

Zhao Zhen looked at the sky - what is it that martial arts practitioners are after?Especially masters like Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, or sages like Tianzun and Yin Hou, what exactly are they pursuing?

Because Zhao Zhen got to know Tianzun and Yin Hou, and because he was curious that they could teach people like Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, he became very interested in martial arts.After hearing a lot of stories about Jianghu, he asked Nangong Ji, people like Yinhou and Tianzun, who have experienced so much pain and carried so much debt, do they have any pursuits?

Nangong couldn't answer, but Ge Qing gave him an answer.

This young disciple of the Tianshan School told him that Tianzun once wrote a sentence on the Potian Stone on the top of Tianshan Mountain, which was also the only admonition he gave to the Tianshan School, "For those who practice martial arts, the body dies, but the heart is there, and the heart dies, and the heart is dead." Will last forever."

It is said that Xiao Geqing reads this sentence every night when he sleeps and talks in his dreams. Zhao Zhen also gave up the idea of ​​​​soliciting people from the rivers and lakes when he heard this sentence...

Just like Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saved his life today and captured that assassin, what they pursued and maintained belonged to themselves, and had nothing to do with imperial power, fame and wealth.

……

The black figure quickly fled in the direction outside the imperial city.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang catch up in a different way.Zhan Zhao flitted through the air like a hawk, while Bai Yutang was almost clinging to the roof of Kaifeng City like a shadow floating on the wall. The speed of the two was obviously faster than the black shadow, so they chased closer and closer .

Many people in Kaifeng City fell on their backs because they looked up.

Many people realized that this was another master who committed a crime, so they ran out of the city to watch the fight.

Zhao Pu's shadow guards also followed closely, but it was too strenuous for everyone's lightness skills to keep up with the two in front.

Zi Ying chased him all the way, and said to Zhe Ying beside him, "Zhan Zhao is really not a human being, this kind of light work is completely unreasonable!"

Zhe Ying also struggled to follow, and the black and white shadows were not much better, almost falling off the roof several times.The two of them are following Bai Yutang. If Zhan Zhao's Yan Zifei is Xuan Miao, then the relative insecurities is the most common lightness kung fu coupled with the fastest speed and the purest internal force... People without that ability should chase after them If you take over, you will trip yourself to death with your own feet.

In the end, several shadow guards gave up, stopped to catch their breath and chased again.

At this time, Zhan Zhao had jumped in front of the man in black, standing on a tall flagpole at the top of the city gate, the man in black stopped on the roof in front of the city wall, and saw the man in black at a glance. Zhan Zhao blocked his way, so he turned back.

But Bai Yutang was already standing on the roof not far behind him, blocking the way back.

The man in black didn't seem to want to fight the two of them. He turned around and wanted to go to the left, but a red figure appeared on the city wall on the left.Lin Yehuo was at the gate of the city just now and had been waiting for him for a long time.

The man in black took another step to the right, and a black figure appeared on a spire on the right.

All the shadow guards stuck out their tongues—when did Zhao Pu arrive?

Just when the man in black was trapped on the roof, the four gates of Kaifeng city gate opened at Zhan Zhao's feet, and a large number of imperial city troops poured in from outside the gate. Several young generals led four teams to conquer the city gate. Surrounded by small buildings, the officers and soldiers evacuated the nearby residents in an orderly manner.

Outside the city gate of Kaifeng, Ouyang Shaozheng walked in with his ice iron rod on his shoulders, "Which one offends me on my first day in office?!"

The soldier's iron rod was erected on the ground, and the ground trembled.

Huo Qilin looked up at the man in black and smiled, "You alone?"

The man in black stood still and glanced at Ouyang Shaozheng.

Ouyang was happy, and pointed to the surroundings, "Choose one yourself."

Everyone understood what Ouyang Shaozheng meant, and they didn't want to fight more with less. There are so many masters here, let him pick one to single out.

At this time, everyone saw clearly the true face of the man in black hiding in the "sky".

This person is not simply dressed in black, but outside the black clothes, there is a "cage".The so-called cage is an armor made of black metal.This set of armor is very weird, like human bones, it clasps the whole body layer by layer, and it seems to be surrounded by a few big black spiders.The man's face was covered with bandages, and he couldn't tell what he looked like. He was also covered with a black hood with horizontal textures, so it felt like he was locked in a human-shaped black iron cage.

Hearing Ouyang Shaozheng's words, the man raised his head, stood up straight, and glanced around.

This person is probably about the same height as Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others, and his age should be about the same from his figure, with high internal strength and wicked martial arts.

On the roof in the distance, Yin Hou and Tianzun were watching, when they saw a ladder appearing near the eaves, and Gongsun climbed up.

The fourth son, who had been resisted by Xiao Liangzi earlier, went to drag his father.

When Gongsun got on the roof, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"The fight hasn't started yet." Lu Tianhan said.

Tianzun tugged at Yin Hou, "Who do you think he picked?"

Yin Hou looked at Tianzun helplessly, "Did you see that suit of armor?"

Tianzun nodded with a smile.

Lu Tianhan also frowned, "But the figure is obviously not the soldier spider king."

"Your descendant?" Yin Hou asked.

Tianzun said with emotion, "Oh, it is true that there are disasters in the country from generation to generation, and the new generation replaces the old one. The soldier spider king himself is a bad seed, and the descendants are not like good people."

"Soldier Spider King?"

While everyone was chatting, Zhao Zhen also climbed up the ladder, went to the roof, looked into the distance, and asked everyone, "Who is he? Does he have enmity with my Zhao family?"

Tianzun glanced at Zhao Zhen, and seeing his serious expression, he stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, "Don't mind, don't mind, there are many people who have enmity with your Zhao royal family, not one more."

Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly, what Tianzun said was true.

"Looking at who he picks, we can probably know whether he is a descendant of the Soldier Spider King." Lu Tianhan said.

Both Tianzun and Yin Hou nodded.

"Will he pick Zhao Pu?" Gongsun was a little nervous, "Didn't he hate Zhao's descendants..."

Zhao Zhen also frowned slightly. There are so many masters in the rivers and lakes, there is no reason for Zhao Pu to fight against the enemy. Zhao Pu is reserved for fighting.

Yin Hou shook his head, "If he is really the Queen of the Spider King, then he can only pick one person..."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black suddenly pulled out something from behind his back, which was a dagger.

He stretched out his hand and swung the short sword in the air, and then stood it in front of his eyes. A long sword fell out from under the short sword... So, he held a strange sword in his hand, with two ends up and down, the top side was short and the bottom side was long. The hilt is in the middle.

Sitting on Gongsun's lap, the fourth son asked curiously, "What kind of weapon is that?"

"Hmm..." Gongsun tilted his head. He walked around Zhao Pu's barracks a lot and saw many weapons, but this was the first time he saw this.As an outsider, Gongsun looked at the weapon in confusion, "Isn't this going to hurt me?"

Tianzun was amused by Gongsun's words, Yin Hou said, "This weapon also belongs to the Soldier Spider King, the Sword of Two Lives."

"Two Lives Sword..." Gongsun read it again, and was about to ask about the origin of this weapon...

"Look, Daddy." The fourth son suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

Gongsun looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the man in black was holding a sword in his hand, pointing his hand in one direction, and the one standing in front of him was Zhan Zhao, who was standing on the flagpole of the city tower.

Everyone raised their eyebrows - did he mean to challenge Zhan Zhaolai to a fight?

Lu Tianhan whispered, "It seems that you are right."

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun nodded.

Gongsun was puzzled, "Why did he challenge Zhan Zhaolai?"

"Even if the descendants of the Soldier Spider King are going to die, they will definitely compete with Zhan Zhao before they die." Tianzun said, "Because the Soldier Spider King was defeated by the old ghost of Yin Hou back then. If he won back then , the title of the world's number one devil should be his."

After hearing this, Gongsun was surprised, "Is someone trying to grab such a title?"

The corner of Yin Hou's mouth twitched, "It seems like someone cares about this title."

Tianzun couldn't help laughing, and asked Yin Hou, "Have you told your kitten how to deal with Liangshengjian?"

Yin Hou shrugged his shoulders, but everyone guessed it. With Yin Hou's personality, it was impossible to tell Zhan Zhao such a thing.

"But the Soldier Spider King may not have told future generations about his experience in fighting you." Lu Tianhan looked at Yin Hou, "That kid has mastered so many kinds of internal power, so it can be seen that he is prepared."

"So what." Yin Hou said indifferently, "Didn't I be unprepared when I beat his father back then?"

Yin Hou crossed his arms and nodded, "That's true." Then he reminded Yin Hou, "This doesn't seem to be from his son's generation, right? He has been dead for some years, and he is probably a grandson like your cat."

Yin Hou nodded.

……

At this time, everyone in the confrontation also saw the choice made by the man in black, and they were puzzled.

In fact, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Zhao Pu, and Lin Yehuo were not easy to deal with.

Everyone knew that this person had a grudge against the Zhao royal family, so they all thought that he might challenge Zhao Pu to a duel.

Zhao Pu hadn't fought for a long time, and this time he was very interested and wanted to fight.In addition, this kid almost succeeded in the assassination just now and injured Nangong Ji.Although he and Nangong are not as close brothers as they are with Ouyang, they are also good brothers who grew up together since childhood. This kid is too insidious. Zhao Pu doesn't like him very much.

But Zhao Pu even carried Xin Tinghou on his shoulders, but that kid chose Zhan Zhao to single out.

The Ninth Prince said in his heart - yes!How can I enjoy myself when Zhan Zhao is done with all the scum left?

Many shadow guards beside him breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Pu had never lost a fight, but he couldn't afford to worry about it. It would be better for Zhan Zhao to deal with that weirdo.

Lin Yehuo squatted on the opposite tower, like a puppy, with his chin in his hands and tilted his head, "Could it be that Zhan Zhao looks the most honest? So he's a picky guy?"

Under the city wall where he was, Zou Liang leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and looked at the two people facing each other above—from Zhan Zhao’s skill in chasing the man in black and then copying to him to block his way, he should know Zhan Zhao Not easy to deal with.

Standing behind the man in black, Bai Yutang noticed a detail that was different from others - the standing posture of the man in black...

When Bai Yutang saw the Liangsheng Sword in his hand, he frowned slightly - because he had heard a saying that the Liangsheng Sword was the nemesis of swords.There is a saying between weapons and weapons that produce and restrain each other, and for masters who have trained to the highest level, the defects in internal strength or kung fu can be made up by the mutual restraint of weapons.

He noticed this person's standing posture because Bai Yutang knew Zhan Zhao's kung fu better than anyone else.As a martial arts practitioner, Bai Yutang naturally thought about the best way to fight Zhan Zhao.As a person who is close to martial arts, the surprise of the first move is often more important than everything else.After observing Zhan Zhao for many years, Bai Yutang knew which posture caused him the most headaches when fighting against Zhan Zhao, and which was also the most beneficial to him... It was the standing posture of the man in black in front of him.

Therefore, the fifth master came to the conclusion that no matter who the man in black was, he had already studied Zhan Zhao's kung fu and came prepared.

At this time, Zhan Zhao was still as gentle and harmless as ever. He sized up the man in black, no matter his standing posture, attire, the armor on his body, or the eye-catching Liangsheng sword, none of them stopped Zhan Zhao's gaze. In the end, Zhan Zhao looked directly at the eyes between the man in black's helmet and the gap in the bandage.

The two sides looked at each other, and Zhan Zhao asked, "What's the name?"

The man in black spoke in a hoarse voice, "Bingwu."

In the distance, Yin Hou and Tianzun looked at each other—as expected.

Zhan Zhao looked at him again, then smiled faintly, handed Ju Que to his right hand, and held the handle of the sword with his left hand.

Everyone was stunned, Lin Yehuo touched his chin, "Isn't Zhan Zhao the sword in his right hand?"

Zou Liang didn't understand either.

Zhao Pu leaned against Xintinghou, looked at Bai Yutang, and saw that Bai Yutang was also stunned for a moment, but he soon relaxed.

"Ha ha……"

In the distance, Tianzun squatted on the roof and clapped his hands, "It really is his own!"

Both Zhao Zhen and Gongsun were puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lu Tianhan said, "Back then, Yin Hou was the soldier spider king who won with a backhand sword."

Gongsun was surprised, "This...is it okay?"

Yin Hou smiled, "The so-called nemesis is just to make the other party feel awkward. The countermeasure is that if you want to make me awkward, I will make you even more awkward."

"But... wouldn't it be inconvenient to switch between left and right hands?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"Zhan Zhao is the same as the old ghost. The acupuncture points can be moved, so it's nothing to change the hand." Tianzun raised his eyebrows and motioned everyone to look ahead.

Seeing Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his head, the murderous look in his eyes made everyone "thump" in their hearts, and then there was a flash of cold light, and Zhan Zhao actually drew out his sword first.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, the thief cat really noticed the posture of the soldiers, the best way to deal with preemptive strikes is naturally, preemptive strikes!

Lu Tianhan shook his head helplessly, and Tianzun clapped his hands happily, "It seems! Even the expressions are the same... Fucking, it's so fun!"

Yin Hou was also a little emotional, saying that Zhan Zhao was not like him, but sometimes this grandson's every move and even the way of thinking was exactly the same as when he was young.

Zhan Zhao's first three moves with the sword made Lin Yehuo's mouth open, how awkward this must be, every move is the opposite.

Zhao Pu tilted his head and felt that Zhan Zhao's posture was reversed, which was awkward no matter how you looked at it.

Sure enough, Bing Wu was caught off guard by Zhan Zhao, and after taking a few steps back, Zhan Zhao suddenly dodged and kicked unceremoniously...

"Come on!" The fourth son clapped his hands!

Xiao Liangzi jumped up, "Zhan Zhao's original creation! Step on your face!"

Look again, you can see Zhan Zhao stepped on Bing Wu's face with one foot, and as soon as his internal strength was released, Bing Wu flew so far.

After Bingwu rolled a few times in the air, he bowed, stuck his sword into the tiles of the roof, retreated a few steps, touched his knees, stabilized his figure, and looked up at Zhan Zhao, his eyes were full of murderous intent, obviously... ...Zhan Zhao's malicious dismounting made him fight his temper.

Zhan Zhao put Ju Que behind his back, looked at Bing Wu who was kneeling on one knee not far away with a smile, and waved his hands, "Excuse me, excuse me, why did you show such a big ceremony when we just met?"

……

Zhao Zhen and Gongsun heard Lu Tianhan couldn't help but "poof", and Tianzun was so happy that he beat the roof.

Even Yin Hou opened his mouth wide in surprise—because the few provocative words Zhan Zhao said were exactly the same as what he said back then.

As soon as Zhan Zhao's voice fell, everyone felt a strong internal force and a strong chill.

Lin Yehuo nodded while propping his chin, "Oh, I can't stand provocation."

Zhao Pu is also curious, what is the purpose of Zhan Zhao's pre-emptive attack but not seeking a quick solution, but provoking the opponent's anger?

"I don't understand." Zhao Zhen turned his face and asked Yin Hou, "What is the purpose of guard Zhan doing this?"

"The purpose is very simple..."

As soon as Yin Hou finished speaking, everyone felt an unusually strong internal energy attack, and after colliding with Bing Wu's internal energy, they flew away instantly.

Both Zhao Pu and Lin Yehuo looked at Zhan Zhao - such a strong internal force.

Yin Hou nodded in satisfaction, "Arouse the opponent's strongest ability, and win him again, and that is the real victory."

As soon as Yin Hou's words fell, Zhan Zhao suddenly stretched his horizontal sword in front of his eyes with both hands, the giant que was sheathed, and pushed forward flatly, the front of the left hand, the back of the right hand, and the giant que were pushed to the level with the eyes, and then stopped.

Everyone was surprised - Zhan Zhao had never used this sword technique before.

Xiao Liangzi suddenly jumped up and pulled Yin Hou, "Old man, is it that one!"

Yin Hou nodded, "It should be..."

Zhao Zhen and Gongsun asked at the same time, "Which one?"

"It's been a long time since I saw the ghost-slaying sword, which is known as the best swordsmanship in the world." Tianzun said, suddenly curious, and turned to Yinhou, "Didn't you say you didn't teach him?"

Yin Hou folded his arms and looked ahead for a long time before replying, "I really didn't teach him."

Lu Tianhan was startled, "Then how could he?"

Yin Hou thought for a while and said, "Because it's my own."

Everyone looked at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou shrugged indifferently, "Anyway, I figured it out by myself back then, at his age." After speaking, he smiled, "Let's see which one is better."
