Chapter 109: A Knife and a Sword

No one knew what Hua Jinnian was thinking. After the man pressed Bian Cheng down with one palm, he looked up again and Wenrou had left her position and ran behind Chu Qing.

"My dear niece, why are you running?

"Could Uncle Cheng still harm you?"

Having said this, he took a step forward and tried to grab it again.

However, this time he grabbed her, it was not for Wenrou, but for Chu Qing.

Previously, Bian Cheng protected Wen Rou, and now Wen Rou has run behind Chu Qing. It is obvious that she is regarded as a backer by him.

The man knew that if he wanted to take Wenrou away today, he had to move these two "backers" away.

Chu Qing was picking up food to eat when he was grabbed in front of him. He frowned slightly, turned the chopsticks, and used the bloody knife technique to strike the man's wrist.

The man had never taken Chu Qing seriously, but this move was really unexpected.

If you use chopsticks as a knife, you will naturally not be able to cut off your wrist.

However, based on my status, if he hit me on the wrist with chopsticks.

That is also a complete loss of face.

At that time, he turned his wrist and tried to pinch the chopsticks with two fingers.

However, Chu Qing changed his moves even faster. The chopsticks suddenly slipped out of his hand and turned around the man's wrist. He caught the chopsticks and pressed down with his palm at the same time.

This is a move from the Golden Crow Sword Technique. When performing the sword technique, one uses the handle and wrist to knock away the opponent's weapon.

But now Chu Qing is using chopsticks, which is naturally not that convenient.

But under this pressure, the man's hand, which was originally intended to hold the chopsticks, poked into the plate and grabbed a piece of meat.

Chu Qing raised his head and smiled:
"Deputy Hall Master Cheng is very busy, could it be that he came in a hurry today and didn't have time to eat?
"Why don't we sit down together?"

"Good boy!"

Deputy Hall Master Cheng snorted, retracted his hand, and put the shredded meat into his mouth:

"It tastes okay. Your swordsmanship has some skills. It's not the way of Taiyi Sect. Cui Paozhao can't teach a disciple like you. Who are you?"

"My name is not worth mentioning, so Deputy Hall Master Cheng should not ask about it."

Chu Qing said calmly:
"We all know why you came here to find Wenrou.

"But since you are still holding on to a fig leaf, there seems to be no need to tear your face off. Why don't you let Deputy Hall Master Cheng make a clear statement and we can set some rules.

"It will also prevent the situation from becoming too serious... and difficult to deal with."

Deputy Hall Master Cheng narrowed his eyes like copper bells and looked at Chu Qing, and suddenly laughed:
“Interesting, interesting!

"I, Cheng Tieshan, haven't seen such an interesting young man for a long time."

When Hua Jinnian heard this, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Tieshan in front of him, and felt his eyelids twitching.

Although the name Cheng Tieshan is not very impressive and sounds ordinary, this person is indeed the deputy leader of the Tiexue Hall.

In the past, when the Iron Blood Hall had not yet reached its current level, it was nearly destroyed by a force called the Red Cloud Valley.

This Hongyun Valley is extraordinary and has risen rapidly. The valley master is highly skilled in martial arts, and in just a few years, he has the potential to sweep across the world.

Even Tie Lingyun, the head of the Tiexue Hall, was besieged and seriously injured in the battle with Hongyun Valley.

In the end, it was Cheng Tieshan who turned the tide.

This man relied on his own strength to go straight into the Red Cloud Valley. The battle was a river of blood and mountains of corpses.

Cheng Tieshan even used his pair of iron palms to twist off the head of the Red Cloud Valley master.

The once famous Hongyun Valley was wiped out from the world.

Cheng Tieshan also became famous because of this battle, and people in the martial arts world called him "the guest in Hongyun Mountain, crossing the river with iron palms". It was because of the battle in Hongyun Valley and also because of his pair of iron palms, which were truly extraordinary.

Of course, after this incident, some people said that the reason why Cheng Tieshan was able to do this was because the master of Hongyun Valley had been injured before.

Some people also said... this matter was not done by Cheng Tieshan alone.

With the rise of Hongyun Valley, many forces regard it as a thorn in their side.

Therefore, that battle was actually a joint effort of many parties, but in the end it pushed Cheng Tieshan out and made him famous.

But no matter what the result is, this man's reputation is at its peak, and I, a little Hualang, am really not worth mentioning in front of such a person.

Even Jiang Shendao from the Divine Sword Hall would be a head shorter than this man.

It is really admirable that the third young master could remain so calm and composed in the face of such a person.

"So, Deputy Hall Master Cheng has agreed?"

Chu Qing put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Cheng Tieshan:
"Then please ask Deputy Hall Cheng to draw up the rules."

"it is good."

The smile on Cheng Tieshan's face disappeared:
"Since you are so interesting, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't give you a chance?
“How about this… I have a lot of people with me today, so I only have this sword and this knife.

"They haven't learned martial arts well enough, so they can barely fight. You can compete with them one by one. If you beat them, you can compete with me.

“However, in order to prevent you from accusing me of bullying you, it would be bad for my reputation if it got out.

“The two of us will limit ourselves to three moves at that time.

“If I can’t defeat you within three moves, I will turn around and leave!
"Otherwise, Wenrou must come with me, and let me protect her back to Luochen Villa."

Bian Cheng frowned slightly, looked at the two people with a knife and a sword, and finally nodded to Chu Qing.

Mo Duxing shook his head:

"He can't fight alone, I... wuwuwu..."

He didn't get to say the rest of the words because Biancheng covered his mouth.

Chu Qing looked at Wen Rou and asked for her opinion.

After all, it was this person who made the bet.

Gentleness nodded slightly:
"be careful."

"Ah."

Chu Qing stood up:

"The inn is too small, let's go out and compete."

"Boy."

Cheng Tieshan said coldly:
"Fists and feet have no eyes. You should think carefully before you speak. If you accidentally lose your life..."

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by heaven."

Chu Qing said calmly:
"Since I have been entrusted with this task, I should be loyal to the person who entrusted me with it."

"Okay, he's a man!"

Cheng Tieshan laughed:
"Let's go out and compete!!"

The group rushed out of the inn, and the people from the Iron Blood Hall blocked both sides of the street, leaving an open space in the middle.

Hua Jinnian followed Bian Cheng nervously, poking his head in and saying:

"Brother Bian, who exactly is this Third Young Master?

"Just now I saw him talking to Cheng Tieshan, his aura was undiminished. He is so young, but how come he seems to be a powerful person?"

Bian Cheng stared at the field, and grimaced when he heard the words.

Although Chu Qing is not a local tyrant, it seems that there is no problem in saying this.

After all, Jiang Shendao was the dead soul at his hands, and masters of the Tianxie Cult also died under his flying knives... For such a master, it is not difficult to dominate a region.

But now he had no intention of talking to Hua Jinnian in detail, and saw Chu Qing standing on the long street with a single sword in his hand.

His eyes swept over the two people, one with a knife and one with a sword:
"Who will make the first move?"

The two men, one with a knife and the other with a sword, looked at each other, and saw that the man with the knife had drooping eyelids and seemed listless.

The man with the sword took a step forward:
"Young people don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is... they want to stop a chariot with their bare hands.

“But I don’t know that there are always people better than you.

"I have a sword..."

As he said this, he suddenly felt a flash before his eyes. The moment he realized that something was wrong, the sword had already been unsheathed.

There was a clanging sound, and the swords collided in an instant.

The sharp sword energy had not yet been released, but it had already been chopped back by the sword. "So much nonsense."

Chu Qing stepped forward, the sword in his hand rolling over, and he was using the Golden Crow Sword Technique.

The sword's momentum is like layers of waves, rolling like the Yangtze River.

The swordsman on the opposite side felt extremely aggrieved. His sword intent had not yet dissipated when the opponent had already attacked. Now that he had succeeded in one move, he was unyielding.

Knives came from all directions, the moves were sometimes exquisite and sometimes strange.

During the first three strikes, he was still thinking about how to change his tactics and turn defeat into victory.

After three slashes, he could only defend himself and had no strength to fight back.

What's more, wisps of cold air gradually invaded the meridians as the opponent swung his sword with each move.

The more he was hit, the stiffer his body became, and it felt like he was lifting his sword much slower than usual...

At this point, Chu Qing had actually won.

However, he did not stop, and his attacks did not target the vital parts, but instead targeted the sword in the swordsman's hand.

For a while, the sound of ding ding ding was endless. Finally, the man could no longer hold the sword in his hand, and was knocked away by Chu Qing's knife. The force also knocked him backwards.

His body slid back several feet before he could barely stand.

Then Chu Qing asked:

"Do you still have a sword now?"

The swordsman's face turned pale and blue, and he finally let out a long breath:
"I lost."

At this moment, many thoughts ran through his mind.

He wanted to accuse Chu Qing of a sneak attack, and he wanted to say that he didn't use his true ability...

But after these words went around in his mind, he swallowed them all back.

If you win, you win; if you lose, you lose.

I can't even resist the opponent's sneak attack with the sword in my hand. What else can I say?

Under such an attack from the opponent, I couldn't even use my best skills. Shouldn't I be blamed for not being good enough?
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt enlightened.

Then he turned around and bowed to Cheng Tieshan:
"Deputy Hall Master, after we return to the Iron Blood Hall, I will accept the punishment myself."

"Is there any gain?"

Cheng Tieshan was sitting on an armchair that someone had brought to him, holding a teacup in his big hands. The cup, which was not small to begin with, looked particularly small against the backdrop of his hands.

"Have."

The swordsman spoke frankly.

"That defeat was worth it."

Cheng Tieshan raised his head and looked at Chu Qing, his expression no longer showing any emotion.

To the extent that no one could tell what was in his mind at this moment.

"Good sword skills."

The swordsman behind Cheng Tieshan took a step forward and said as he walked:
"The moves are exquisite, combining both the regular and the strange. It seems that it is not one move, but a combination of two. What is rare is that there are no obvious flaws in the swordsmanship, and the connection is just right."

With every step he took, the sword intent on his body became stronger.

As he walked and talked, the sword intent lingered all over his body, as if anyone who stepped into the range of the sword intent would be hit by his fatal sword.

"Your Excellency also has a knife?"

Chu Qing pointed the blade diagonally at the ground, and one could see traces of his own swordsmanship, proving that he was indeed an expert.

During this period of time, Chu Qing has never been idle.

Constantly pondering one's own martial arts, which ones are compatible, which ones need to be supplemented...

Both the Golden Crow Sword Technique and the Blood Sword Technique are extremely rare sword techniques. If one could combine the ingenuity of the Golden Crow and the wonder of the Blood Sword to create a completely new sword technique, one would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

But this is easier said than done.

So far, Chu Qing has only managed to properly disassemble the two martial arts, and when necessary, he can seamlessly connect the two sword techniques without leaving any obvious flaws.

How far is it from creating one's own skill?
The swordsman's drooping eyelids suddenly lifted.

It was as if two sharp rays flashed across his eyes:

“He has a sword, but he can’t use it.

"But I have a knife... I'll ask you to try it!"

There was a sharp light in his eyes, as if drawing out the sword intent from his whole body, and with a clang, the sword was unsheathed.

Endless sword light flowed out from the scabbard.

For a moment, Chu Qing seemed to be in a desolate desert.

The wind and sand in the sky are a knife, the scorching sun is a knife, and the ruthless world is also a knife!

"Good knife!"

Chu Qing suddenly raised his saber, the blade flowing in the saber intent, the saber force shuttled through the saber energy.

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding!
Chu Qing's sword collided with the sword energy, and it actually made a sound as if it were real.

He took a step forward and swung his sword, but every time he swung his sword, his moves would change differently.

After each change, his steps forward became easier.

In just three or five steps, Chu Qing had already broken through the rolling sword intent.

The sharp edge of the sword hit the swordsman three inches in front of his face.

Concentrate your mind, keep your momentum, and don't miss a single detail.

As for the swordsman on the opposite side, no one knew when his blade had been sheathed.

"Good knife."

He also opened his mouth, said two words, then his eyelids drooped again and he walked back.

Chu Qing glanced at his back:
"Why?"

His question was out of context, but the swordsman paused, looked back at Chu Qing, and grinned:
"I've been unhappy with him for a long time, and now I feel happy."

"..."

Chu Qing was speechless for a while.

This swordsman's swordsmanship was extremely superb, and he had no intention of winning when he attacked, so Chu Qing naturally had no need to be ruthless.

And at the moment when the swordsman drew his sword, Chu Qing seemed to see the vast world and the myriad changes in swordsmanship.

Therefore, with every step he took forward, the moves that were originally difficult to integrate would be integrated a little with the help of the opponent's sword intent.

This distance of three to five steps saved Chu Qing three to five years of deep thinking.

That's why Chu Qing asked him why he wanted to help him.

But I can't say it too clearly, after all, Cheng Tieshan is still sitting there.

The result is... I just hit the swordsman and he felt very happy watching it?

This one is also weird.

Chu Qing shook his head and smiled, putting the single sword back into the scabbard. Both the sword and the saber were wielded by masters, but this time the fight was just to a stop, and neither side let go, maintaining their mask.

But this is inevitably a pity.

He raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Tieshan:

"Deputy Hall Master Cheng, it's your turn."

Cheng Tieshan touched his chin and looked Chu Qing up and down.

After rubbing his fingers on his chin vigorously for a while, he stood up with a whoosh:
"I heard that a master has emerged among the younger generation recently...

“He first showed his prowess at the Tianxia First-Class Conference, and later helped Dragon Spear Fang Tianrui to fight for the Divine Sword Hall.

"Overnight, there were so many murders that many knives were blunted.

"Boy... this person, could it be you?"
