Ximen Zhanying was like a red cloud, coming and going erratically. Huo Cong made continuous moves, but all his moves failed.
Huo Cong practices outer martial arts, and his most powerful ability is naturally invulnerability, but Ximen Zhanying only has a graceful figure and does not use a sword, so his bronze skin and iron bones are of no use for a while.
In addition to his body of copper skin and iron bones, Huo Cong's boxing and kicking skills are not weak, but he is powerless against Ximen Zhanying's strange body skills.
At this time, everyone held their breath and stared intently.
Naturally, it was impossible for the officials to know that Ximen Zhanying's strange footwork was exactly what Qi Ning taught him.
Qi Ning is naturally very clear about the depth of Ximen Zhanying's martial arts. When he saw Huo Cong in the court hall before, he knew that this person was definitely not a good person. Duan Shao was able to send this person to fight, so he was naturally very familiar with Huo Cong's martial arts. confidence.
Qi Ning knew that in a head-to-head confrontation, Ximen Zhanying's hope of winning was extremely slim, but it was also a dream to make Ximen Zhanying's martial arts improve by leaps and bounds in just three days.
To deal with such outer sect masters, we naturally cannot fight head-on, we can only find other countermeasures.
Qi Ning also thought about passing on the mental skills of Liuhe Magic to Ximen Zhanying. Liuhe Magic absorbs people's internal energy. Once there is physical contact, as long as the other party uses their internal energy, it will be easily absorbed.
But if you think about it carefully, although this Liuhe magical skill is amazingly powerful, it is really not suitable to be passed on to Ximen Zhanying.
The Liuhe Magic Kung Fu is unique. Ximen Wuhen is well-informed and probably knows the origin of the Liuhe Magic Kung Fu. Once this skill is taught to Ximen Zhanying, Ximen Zhanying will really be able to comprehend it within three days, and in full view of everyone. If used below, it will definitely cause great troubles.
After Ximen Wuhen became aware of this kung fu, he would definitely search for its origins. He had originally obtained this strange kung fu from the Lord Jiutian Loumu. There were many capable people in the Shenhou Mansion. If he wanted to really find out this past event, he would have to The truth about pretending to be the Crown Prince may not be found out, but that would bring huge disaster to himself.
Moreover, he was able to quickly comprehend the Liuhe Magic Technique, perhaps because of his extraordinary talent, or perhaps for another reason. However, Qining could not guarantee that Ximen Zhanying would be able to comprehend the secret of the Liuhe Magic Technique within three days.
Apart from the Liuhe magic skill, Qin Ning thought about it and found that only Xiaoyao Xing could deal with the emergency.
Since Ximen Zhanying cannot confront or confront Ximen Zhanying, then defending first and then looking for opportunities is naturally the best way to deal with it. Once Xiaoyao Xing is launched, it will be difficult for the opponent to even touch it, so it is naturally the best defense. effort.
Qi Ning was originally worried about whether Ximen Zhanying could make a breakthrough in Xiaoyao Xing in just three days, but the facts proved that Ximen Zhanying's understanding of this set of footwork was really amazing.
Perhaps Ximen Zhanying has been familiar with the Jiugong Bagua since he was a child by Ximen Wuhen's side. Ximen Zhanying's understanding of this set of footwork is actually no less than Qi Ning's.
Qi Ning originally understood the path of Xiaoyao Xing solely based on the murals carved with dead bones on the stone walls of the cave. But when he taught Ximen Zhanying the footwork, he taught her in person and demonstrated it personally. , and also taught all his understanding of this set of footwork.
Ximen Zhanying is also an extremely smart girl. Three consecutive days of high-intensity training has allowed Ximen Zhanying to get a glimpse of the door. Now he has memorized the set of Xiaoyao walking steps in his heart, and he has been training all the time for several days, which can be regarded as Quite familiar.
Today, I was competing with Huo Cong. At the beginning, I was a little cautious when I walked out of Xiaoyao Xing. However, once I got out of the footwork, it became smoother and smoother. It was much more elegant and beautiful than Qining's posture when he first learned it.
Huo Cong, who had nowhere to use his strength, was already in a state of embarrassment. Although he had undergone special training and had amazing perseverance, he made more than ten moves in a row and failed. This was an unprecedented thing, and he was already a little worried.
Su Zhen looked solemn at this time. Although his martial arts was not on the stage, he came from a military family after all, and he had learned some tricks. At this time, he could vaguely see the situation, and he was quite anxious, but he also thought that this Although Ximen Zhanying's steps were strange and Huo Cong was unable to hurt her for a while, at this time Ximen Zhanying was completely in a position to dodge and had no ability to fight back. As long as Ximen Zhanying's strength was depleted and a slight flaw was missed, Huo Cong would eventually catch her. live.
Duan Shao's expression was also quite ugly, but he had the same thoughts as Su Zhen. He only felt that although Ximen Zhanying's footwork was wonderful, he would not keep dodging like this, and sooner or later he would still be defeated by Huo Cong.
This mysterious footwork made Duan Shao even more amazed. Thinking that Ximen Zhanying would run out of energy sooner or later, his eyes gradually showed brilliance. But in his heart, he thought that as long as Ximen Zhanying lost, he would marry Qi and become his inner chamber. Then this mysterious set of steps will become a treasure.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
Everyone also had different thoughts, but at this moment, they heard a scream, like the clear call of an oriole, and the two figures who were intertwined in the field suddenly stopped.
I saw Ximen Zhanying standing behind Huo Cong, pointing forward with the broadsword in his hand, but the blade was pointed at the back of Huo Cong's neck. Huo Cong's legs were slightly bent, his left hand was slightly raised, but his whole body was frozen.
Su Zhen's eyes almost popped out and widened.
Ximen Zhanying's pretty face was frosty, but she was panting rapidly, her chest was heaving, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. She had used Xiaoyao Xing just now to evade Huo Cong's offensive, which was obviously a great loss of physical strength.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, but Ximen Zhanying's blades were all on the back of Huo Cong's neck. It was obvious who would win and who would lose.
Many people originally thought that they would be defeated when Ximen Zhanying was exhausted, but they did not expect that the change would happen in an instant.
Ximen Zhanying slowly sheathed the knife, took two steps back, cupped his hands and said, "Admit it!"
Huo Cong slowly stood up straight, turned around, and offered his hand to Ximen Zhanying, saying: "Young lady is very smart, how do you know where I am?"
However, Ximen Zhanying inadvertently glanced at Ximen Wuhen and said calmly: "Whenever you practice the hard skills of the outer sect, there will be weaknesses, which is where the shielding gate is. There are only three places where the shielding gate is located, and you naturally know it. Which three places are they? I can't be sure where your cover is, so I'm just trying it out of luck!"
"The girl hasn't taken action for a long time. It turns out that she has been looking for someone to cover the door." Huo Cong smiled miserably, turned around and walked directly towards Duan Shao. When he got to Duan Shao, he knelt down on the ground, "Your Highness, I am not good at studying. Da Qi and His Highness have been humiliated and deserve death!" He suddenly raised his left hand and without saying a word, slapped his head.
Many people were shocked. Duan Shao's face was cold. He saw that Huo Cong's left hand was about to fall on his head, but a figure flashed next to him. A hand reached out like lightning and had already grabbed Huo Cong's wrist. Cong's arm felt like it was bound by steel, making it difficult to lose any strength.
Huo Cong's face changed suddenly and he said sternly: "You...!" He only uttered one word and then stopped. But at this time, he saw clearly that the person who stopped him was Qining.
When the ministers saw Huo Cong committing suicide, many of them were heartbroken. This time the crown prince of Dong Qi came to see his relatives, and the relationship between the two countries was on a smooth road. However, if Huo Cong committed suicide in the Chu palace in full view because of his defeat, It will definitely cast a shadow on the relationship between the two countries. When they saw someone taking action to stop him, everyone felt relieved and saw clearly that it was Qi Ning. Many people secretly thought that this Jin Yihou had made a great contribution at the critical moment.
The little emperor was originally shocked, but when he saw that Qining had successfully stopped him, he also showed a hint of relief.
Qi Ning had some knowledge about the Dongqi Iron Guard from Ximen Zhanying before. He knew that once the Donggong Iron Guard was defeated, he would probably commit suicide to Duan Shao to apologize, so when Huo Cong walked in front of Duan Shao, he was already wary of Huo Cong's presence. He committed suicide here. When he saw his arm move, he knew something was wrong. He didn't even think about it and snatched it out immediately.
He was not far from Duan Shao, and the timing of his attack was just right, and he was able to stop Huo Cong.
"Huo Tiewei, if you did not protect His Highness well enough and caused His Highness any harm, I will not stop you from committing suicide today." Qi Ning sighed: "But this is just an ordinary sparring contest. You said it is insulting to Qi." country, are we engaging in a martial arts competition between the two countries?"
Huo Cong was stunned. Qi Ning did not let go. He still held his wrist and said sternly: "On this trip, you are escorting His Highness to Dachu. Your most important duty is to protect His Highness's safety. Now that His Highness has not returned to Qi State, you However, he ignored his great responsibilities and committed suicide just for the sake of a momentary impulse. Instead of apologizing for his sins, he was guilty of a great crime."
Duan Shao had also come to his senses at this time and said in a deep voice: "Huo Cong, you are my personal bodyguard. Without my instructions, how could you do such a stupid thing? I have long said that today We have a discussion in front of the second palace, everything is for the good of the two alliances, Miss Ximen is superior in skills, we admire her from the bottom of our hearts, do you think that I will lose face because of your defeat?"
When Qi Ning heard what Duan Shao said, he let go, but Huo Cong had already prostrated himself on the ground and said to Duan Shao: "I was confused for a moment, please punish me by Your Highness."
Duan Shao stood up, put one hand behind his back, and said: "It was Jin Yihou who came to the rescue. I still can't thank Jin Yihou."
Huo Cong turned to Qining and said, "Huo Cong thanked the Marquis for saving his life!"
Qi Ning had already stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Huo Tiewei, everyone can see clearly today that you are dressed in copper skin and iron bones. It is really not easy. To put it bluntly, I am not afraid of offending Miss Ximen. If she hadn't used With that set of footwork of a master in dancing, even ten Ximen girls are no match for you. You really don’t need to belittle yourself." He smiled at Duan Shao and said: "Your Highness, the eight iron guards under you are all trained hard and are the same as treasures. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. If you commit suicide because of an occasional mistake or two, how many of the Iron Guards will be able to apologize?"
Duan Shao laughed and said, "What Jin Yihou said is true. The iron guards under me are like treasures." He looked at Duan Shao and said, "You are not guilty today, and there is no need to apologize."
When Ximen Zhanying heard Qining say that his footwork was like jumping on a big rope, he couldn't help but glared at him. He thought to himself that this was taught by your master. If you dare to say that this is a great jumper, I will sue you later and let you I couldn’t eat and walked around.
When the others heard this, they secretly laughed, thinking that Jin Yihou was really unscrupulous in what he said. You said that Ximen Zhanying is the master of dancing. If this set of footwork was taught by Ximen Wuhen, wouldn't it offend the old god Hou? Someone I went to see Ximen Wuhen specifically, but I saw Ximen Wuhen looked calm and didn't seem to care.
