The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 155 It Was You
Guan Yuan looked at the assassin again and was shocked.

The man was wearing a moon-colored Taoist robe, holding a long sword, and his long flowing hair was simply tied up.Turning his head, his face was cold and expressionless, it was exactly the person Guan Yuan had seen before, Xu Chenzi from Tianshi Mansion.

Is Tianshi Mansion really mixed up with Prince Ning?
What Zhang Tianshi said that day was probably deceiving himself.

The situation was urgent at this time, and there was no time to think about it. Eunuch Qu had already been seriously injured and fell to the ground. The only one who could stop the other party was himself.

Guan Yuan drew out his long sword, jumped up, and stood directly in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"It's you!"

Although Xu Chenzi sounded a little surprised in his voice, his face remained expressionless.

"This thief's swordsmanship and internal skills are all top-notch in the world, young hero should be careful." Eunuch Qu, who fell on the ground, reminded him when he saw that his side had backup.However, he didn't have any expectations. The person who came here seemed to be no more than double ten, so how powerful could he be.

At this time, the breeze in the courtyard was floating, and the fallen leaves in the corner were faintly blown up.But the two only saw the long sword in each other's hands, and seemed to turn a deaf ear to the shouts of the guards around them.

Xu Chenzi lunged forward and swept his sword across, trying to force Guan Yuan back.Although this move is not very subtle, it is full of energy. Just by hearing the sound of breaking wind, you can tell that the inner strength attached to it is amazing.

Guan Yuan has achieved great success in his own innate skills, so he is not afraid of him, but it would be too rough if the two swords meet and break them all.

He raised his sword upside down, turned over to dodge, and at the same time used his left hand to use the move "White Ape Offering Fruit" to reach for Xu Chenzi's sword-holding hand.

Just when he was about to grab the opponent's wrist, Xu Chenzi raised his long sword and was about to stab Guan Yuan's left shoulder.

Guan Yuan could have swiped right to avoid it, but in this way, he directly let Zhu Houzhao out of the way.

Determined to win in a dangerous situation, he used his long sword to block the sharp blade in front of him, then he got close to Xu Chenzi and entangled him tightly.

At this distance, the swordsmanship of the two men was useless.

Guan Yuan moved his figure, whirling around Xu Chenzi, and occasionally met with a palm. Dacheng's Xiantian Kung Fu was evenly matched with the opponent's Tai Ling Chunyang Kung Fu, and he couldn't take advantage in a short time.

The Taoist felt a little anxious when he saw that Zhu Houzhao, who was under the protection of Xiu Xiu, was about to turn the corner and leave the small courtyard.

Pretending to be a Taoist priest who knew how to divine, he sneaked into the Leopard Room and took action when the emperor summoned him, but he was stopped again by the dying old eunuch.

After all, Xu Chenzi was still more skilled. Although the eunuch's internal strength was slightly better than his own, he was a paper tiger in terms of moves and techniques, and could be broken with just one poke.In less than a dozen moves, the Shangqing Three Flower Sword, which he learned from the Taoist scriptures, easily passed the old eunuch's defense.

Just when the eunuch thought he would take action against the emperor, he was so concerned that he became confused. He was unprepared and was hit in the chest by Xu Chenzi's Four Elephants Pushing Cloud Hand.

Xu Chenzi took advantage of the victory and pursued him. He placed three palm prints on the chest of the inexperienced and chaotic Eunuch Qu, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground.

He wanted to take the opportunity to kill Zhu Houzhao, but was frightened by the sudden loud noise of firearms.It turned out that Zhu Houzhao carried a gun with him. It was small and exquisite and not suitable for fighting the enemy, but at this time he also frightened Xu Chenzi.

This was exactly what Guan Yuan saw when he arrived.

Xu Chenzi knew that he had been recognized by Guan Yuan. If he could not kill the emperor today, he would be hunted down by the imperial court with all his strength.So he no longer held back his hand, and threw the long sword in his hand at Zhu Houzhao's vest. At the same time, he pushed the cloud hand and struck Guan Yuan in a life-or-death fight.Guan Yuan also threw his long sword to intercept him, but it was too late. He was about to stab Zhu Houzhao to death with the sharp blade.At the critical moment, Feng Yuxiu, who was beside Zhu Houzhao, pushed the emperor away fiercely.At this time, he didn't care about the dignity of golden branches and jade leaves. With his push, Zhu Houzhao flew far away, but his outstretched arm was scratched by the long sword, dripping with blood.

Seeing that Xu Chenzi had missed, he turned around and dealt with Guan Yuan with all his strength.He channeled his strength into his arms, and attacked with both palms like a gust of wind and rain. Suddenly, the aura surged, and the power was astonishing.

Half of the moves he used were collected from the martial arts world, and half were created by himself. Although the moves were simple, they were effective and straightforward, best demonstrating the power of his Tailing Pure Yang Kung Fu.

Guan Yuan didn't dare to worry about it, so he secretly used his magical skills and used the Huashan Palm Technique. He fired every move with all his strength.Once the innate skill is used, it is like a sky covering the top, causing sand and stones on the ground to fly, and fallen leaves to bloom all around.

The entire courtyard seemed to be shrouded in the energy of the two men, and the surrounding guards did not dare to approach.

When the fight reached its peak, Guan Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed with pleasure. Wherever the strong wind swept, even the long hair of Xu Chenzi floated.

The bigger the two of them got, the faster they moved. In just half a cup of tea, they had already passed a hundred moves. During this period, the two sides competed several times with their palm strength. However, the edges of their palms were numb and the meridians were slightly sour.

Seeing that Xu Chenzi could not attack for a long time, he became even more anxious.He turned around suddenly, his tied long hair spread out, and his black silk strands swayed in the wind, blocking most of Guan Yuan's vision.

Guan Yuan hurriedly leaned back, and suddenly heard the Taoist shouting loudly, turning around and pressing his palms against his waist and abdomen.

Just when Xu Chenzi thought he was about to succeed, Guan Yuan made a sword finger with his right hand, pointed it at his palm, and hit the target with one blow.

Xu Chenzi felt that his palm was pierced by a sharp blade, causing burning pain. He raised his hand to look, but he didn't know what had penetrated his palm, and he was bleeding.

Looking at the sword finger of Guan Yuan's right hand again, he saw that there was bluish-white Qi energy on the fingertip, flickering unsteadily, which looked extremely dangerous.

"Sword Qi?" He raised his eyebrows and said with a rare look of surprise on his face.

Guan Yuan didn't answer him, he just took a few steps forward and attacked again.The Taoist's hand was severely injured, his combat power was greatly reduced, and he was suddenly unable to withstand the attack.

The two of them had almost the same level of internal energy. Although Guan Yuan had a golden finger and pushed the Xiantian Kung all the way to the state of great success, the Tailing Pure Yang Kung practiced by Xu Chenzi was also a master qigong practiced in Zhengdao, and its power was extraordinary.It's just that the Zhengdao priests didn't have much involvement in the world before, and their reputation was not prominent.

This Xu Chenzi is also a person with extraordinary talents. At the age of less than 30 years old, he has mastered the Tailing Chunyang Kung Fu so well that even Master Zhang is probably not as good as him.

But in terms of output method, Guan Yuan's fingertip sword energy is even better. The energy is focused and unstoppable.

Seeing that he couldn't resist, Xu Chenzi knew that today was a fate and he would definitely not be able to get any advantage, so he decided to quit.

He first attacked fiercely with a few moves, forcing Guan Yuan to defend, and then used the "Zhuge Fan" palm, which opened and closed widely, forcing Guan Yuan to retreat half a step.

The man turned around and wanted to cross the courtyard wall and escape. As soon as he got up and jumped halfway, he was forced back by a group of guards outside the wall who shot him with bows and arrows.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, he turned around and looked at Guan Yuan, as if he had given up resistance.

"Young man Quanzhen, you win." Even though Xu Chenzi was in a desperate situation and could be killed on the spot at any time, his expression showed no emotion at all. It seemed as if life and death had long been put aside and he didn't care.
