Chapter 168: Defeat the Enemy with One Move
“…where you fall, there you get up.”
Zhang Yu's words were like a stone thrown into a deep well, without causing any ripples.
The five people sat opposite each other, each with a different look on their face, and no one spoke first.
There was a moment of silence in the lobby.
Ever since the new commander came in, the thought that came to everyone's mind was: He is so young, maybe he is another Yang Lianting-like figure?
This impression was reinforced after I heard what he said.
They all hold the position of incense masters. To be selected into the Blood Crane North Courtyard, they must be far superior to their peers in terms of achievements and martial arts. Naturally, they know how difficult it has been to come this far, fighting with swords and axes.
In the eyes of everyone, the shadows of Zhang Yu from Xuehe North Garden and Yang Lianting from Chengde Hall gradually overlapped.
A man who rose to power through boasting and stained his own monument of achievement with the blood of his brothers.
Liu Ruyan was the farthest away. She changed into a seductive sitting posture, with her legs crossed and her skirt bulging out with her hips. Her beautiful eyes looked upwards with rippling light. Her seductive posture made Ji Bamao even more infatuated.
"A traitor!"
The Bloody Arhat scratched the back of his head, and seeing that the guy opposite him was about to drool, he felt extremely contemptuous, so he changed his sitting position, spreading his two thick legs apart, like two doors that kept opening and closing.
"What are you looking at, bastard? Do you want me to take off my pants and show you that there are thousands of brothers with the same name as you hiding here?"
"A dog catching a rat is meddling in other people's business."
Ji Bamao glared at the Blood Arhat and sat sullenly on the chair.
The Blood Arhat laughed and said, "Amitabha, in this world even mice wear clothes and sit in high halls. How strange."
Ji Bamao rolled his eyes slightly, looking for an opportunity to stir up trouble, and said with a smile: "I have wasted thirty-seven years and still haven't made it to the top of the Mingtang. Bloody Arhat, are you scolding me? Or who are you scolding?"
"Ji Ba Mao, you want to climb up, no one will stop you. If you want to climb the steps of Chengde Hall by stepping on the corpses of your brothers, it depends on whether you are more stubborn or the crescent shovel of the Sa family is stronger!"
The Blood Arhat glared, picked up the crescent shovel, and gently pounded it, instantly creating spider-web-like cracks on the floor tiles.
So powerful!
Ji Bamao was already wary of the Blood Arhat, and when he saw him get angry, he stopped talking.
Zhang Yu smiled indifferently, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm hidden in those words.
I had heard that the Law Guards were very stubborn and arrogant, and they really didn't give any face at all. However, I have been in office for a long time, and there are only a handful of people I know in the Law Guards Hall, let alone the Wind and Thunder Hall. It was expected that these arrogant soldiers would be dissatisfied when they first arrived.
He looked at everyone and said, "I have finished speaking. If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak up."
The Blood Arhat had a hot temper. He cleared his throat and was about to speak again when he heard Zhang Yu say, "Master Song Xiang, I have heard of the name of 'Jade-faced Scholar' a long time ago. Why don't you speak first?" He suddenly felt that he had thrown a punch but hit cotton.
Song Rui was a little surprised. After a moment of contemplation, he chuckled and said, "I have heard what you said just now. May I ask Elder Zhang, how are we going to take revenge? How are we going to revive the Blood Crane North Garden?"
"Execute the blood file and continue to kill the traitors."
Song Rui looked around the hall: "Just a few of us?"
"This time, add Zhang."
Song Rui glanced at the young man who was more than ten years younger than him and felt it was extremely absurd. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Including you? Do you know how many people went to the capital that time?"
"Of course I know that in order to eliminate the traitors in the capital, all the elite troops of the Blood Crane North Court were dispatched, including fourteen masters and eighty elite disciples."
"You already know everything, why do you have to say these unrealistic words?"
Song Rui looked at the four characters '鹤鸣天小' on the plaque. At this time, cobwebs were wrapped around the beams, the dust had not yet been dusted off, and the broken tiles on the roof were exposed to the sunlight. No matter how you look at it, Xuehe North Garden was completely abandoned.
He thought to himself, "This is a dead end. No matter how hard the fly struggles, it can't break the spider web."
Song Rui had received news a long time ago that this new commander was not favored by Hall Master Di, and the hall would not send any additional soldiers to Beiyuan. Going to the capital to hunt down that man with just these few people would undoubtedly be a death sentence.
Zhang Yu was not angry, and smiled: "Master Song Xiang, do you have any practical words to teach me?"
"You know, when this blood document was handed down from Blackwood Cliff, no one from the three escort teams dared to take it. It was only because of a leader who was too ambitious that Beiyuan took it."
Zhang Yu still asked politely: "Is there a hidden story?"
Song Rui sneered, "You don't know anything, but you want to trick the brothers into going to the capital to die?" Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "I will go to the capital with you all, and we will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and share life and death together."
Song Rui sneered, obviously not taking the young Zhang Yu seriously.
"Master Zhang, you must know that martial arts is different from getting promoted and getting rich. You can't fake it. Your little tricks are good for pleasing your superiors and reciting the master's teachings, but you can't use real swords and real guns, every move and every style!"
Even though Zhang Yu had a good temper and tolerated his repeated rudeness, he couldn't help but show his anger. A mere incense master was so presumptuous. He really didn't treat the deputy hall master as a leader.
He had asked Qi Queqiao to inquire about several people long ago, and found that this white-faced scholar was the most active one. He had a close relationship with a hall elder who was in charge of Pingding City, and had the intention of leaving Xuehe North Garden.
"From your tone, Master Song Xiang is not going to obey Xuehe Beiyuan's orders anymore?"
Song Rui slowly stood up and chuckled, "I was just about to resign. I will be transferred to Pingding City Altar Gate. There will be documents coming soon."
There is no official power in Pingding City, and the order is maintained by the Sun and Moon Sect. The only branch of the Guardian Hall is located inside the city, and it is manned by the elders of the hall, and its level is higher than that of ordinary branches.
Zhang Yu asked, "What if I don't agree?"
"Whether you agree or not, it's up to you."
Song Rui took a few steps toward the door, suddenly stopped, looked at Liu Ruyan, and spoke slowly.
"The blood that should be shed has been shed, and the battle that should be fought has been fought. I will not stay in Xuehe Beiyuan any longer. We have known each other for a while. If you are willing to go with me, there is a place for you in Pingding City, and the hall will not make it difficult for you."
The altar of Pingding City is the most lucrative post in the Dharma Guardian Hall. It is not as dangerous as the Four Gardens Dharma Guardian Team, and it is a good job that ordinary people would love to have.
Liu Ruyan glanced at Zhang Yu's handsome face again and thought to herself, you can't have your cake and eat it, Lord Zhang may be handsome, but beauty can't be eaten.
Xue Luohan and Ji Bamao were also somewhat tempted. Anyway, they also disliked this little 'Yang Lianting'. When they were about to stand up, they heard a loud shout.
"Song Rui, you are committing a crime against your superiors. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Song Rui put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, turned his back to Zhang Yu, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Do you want to teach me martial arts?"
Zhang Yu sneered, "Didn't you say that I can't do it? You won't know until you try."
“I won’t cry until I see the coffin!”
Song Rui turned around suddenly, drew out his sword in an instant, and a cold light stabbed towards Zhang Yu's throat.
"It's a thousand miles!"
This is the Jade-faced Scholar's famous sword technique, known for its unexpected effects.
The Blood Arhat's eyes narrowed slightly. Song Rui's internal strength was not inferior to his, and his swordsmanship was even more exquisite. This sword seemed sudden, but in fact it had been brewing for a long time. If it were him, he didn't know if he could block it.
Liu Ruyan secretly thought it was a pity. This little adult was good-looking, but unfortunately he was successful at a young age and didn't know how to advance or retreat. He was going to suffer a great loss now.
"How can it be!"
After a moment, the four people opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths in surprise.
Zhang Yu was still sitting on the round chair, his body motionless.
The sword stopped right in front of him, but seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall.
Looking closely, it turned out to be two slender white fingers reaching out, accurately grasping the tip of the sword.
"boom!"
Zhang Yu crossed his fingertips, and with a crisp metallic sound, the top-grade long sword broke into two pieces.
When Song Rui felt a huge force coming from the sword, he quickly let go, and the two broken blades sank into the ground.
Is this a defeat?
He stood there in a daze.
Being defeated by a young man whom he originally looked down upon was too much of a disappointment.
Zhang Yu said coldly: "Since you claim to have shed blood in Beiyuan, I will not kill you today. Go to Pingding City to ask for your share of peace and wealth. Don't set foot in Xuehe Beiyuan again."
Song Rui was filled with shame and resentment. Finally, he looked at Zhang Yu with resentment, turned around and rushed out of the lobby.
Zhang Yu smiled calmly, looked at the four people, and asked, "Are there any of you who want to leave?"
