Chapter 71: How come it's cheap to pick up for nothing

He Zhaoxi said no more.

Regardless of the opponent's strength and state, some opponents are worthy of respect.

He held his sword across his chest again, and solemnly said to Ding Ning, "Please!"

Ding Ning also raised the Mohua residual sword and said with a smile, "Please!"

He Zhaoxi looked at Ding Ning who didn't want to move the sword first, and then at Ding Ning's short and broken sword, he couldn't help frowning.

But in the next moment, he just nodded and said, "Okay."

The word sounded from his lips, and he was already moving.

He flew towards Ding Ning majestically, his body was like a heavy stone thrown by a trebuchet, crushing the space in front of him with a bang, and at the same time brought out a terrifying gust of wind again.

The withered and yellow leaves danced into the city again in front of him.

He followed behind the wall that was moving rapidly towards Ding Ning, and slashed out with his sword.

His true essence has indeed been exhausted. When he slashed out with the sword, there was no longer a line of fire on the sword. However, as he exerted his strength, because of his terrifying speed of swinging the sword, a terrifying explosion still burst out from his sword. the power of.

The straight sword in his hand was quickly bent into an arc by this force, and the moment it trembled straight again, there was a bang, and all the power transmitted from the sword hit the dead leaves in front of him.

Countless dead leaves fluttering in disorder suddenly became heavy, and in the next instant, there were countless hissing sounds, shooting towards Ding Ning like countless feathered arrows.

He Zhaoxi took a deep breath, and his movements suddenly became gentle. His long sword changed from a patting gesture to a stabbing gesture, hiding the tip of the sword among many flying dead leaves.

Seeing the dead leaves forming a wall, being slapped into countless flying arrows by a sword, and seeing He Zhaoxi's long sword hidden in it, many students on the viewing platform had extremely complicated emotions.

They thought that they might not be able to catch He Zhaoxi's sword.

Ding Ning kept flying back, the broken sword in his hand was at his eyebrows, protecting his eyes, but he didn't care about the countless fallen leaves that flew towards him, let them hit him with a puff, and even scratched his face , with bloodstains on his face.

It was only when the tip of the sword was about to approach his left shoulder that the sword in his hand slashed down fiercely.

There was a bang.

The soft withered yellow long sword was sealed by his sword, and countless sparks swayed from the place where the two swords intersected.

The pupils of many people in the stands brightened. They did not expect that Ding Ning was able to seal the sword so accurately among so many flying leaves covering their sight.

He Zhaoxi's breathing paused slightly.

Feeling the impact from his sword, he frowned slightly, without any hesitation, as if his body was about to fall forward, he exerted his strength again, and pressed all his body weight onto it.

At this time, there was only half an inch between his withered yellow long sword and the edge of Ding Ning's broken sword.

So there is no pause at all, and it is impossible to dodge.

The two swords intersected again, and there was another explosion.

Ding Ning let out a muffled snort.

He obviously couldn't bear this kind of force, his whole right arm swung back violently, and his whole body seemed to be hit by a galloping horse, and he kept backing up, taking five or six steps back in an instant.

He Zhaoxi stepped up.

With just one step, he rushed out of the distance that Ding Ning retreated five or six steps.

His hand was still abnormally stable, and the withered yellow long sword in his hand swung forward again.

When it was cut out, the sword cut through the air straightly, allowing the long sword to travel extremely fast in the air, but when it approached Ding Ning's body, the sword turned sideways, and the blade once again moved with his force. It is bent into an arc in the air.

With a bang, He Zhaoxi swung his sword horizontally, as if wielding a sledgehammer, and slapped Ding Ning's body brutally.

The dark green broken sword in Ding Ning's hand was instantly covered with countless fine white flowers.

He frowned, kept maintaining the output of true energy, and stood in front of him.

The ear-piercing metal tremor sounded again.

His sword still accurately blocked He Zhaoxi's sword path, but the strong force still caused the broken sword in his hand to bounce back and land on his chest.

Ding Ning's body, which was already flying back, seemed to be hit by a big rock suddenly, his whole body and feet were lifted off the ground, and he was thrown backwards in a desolate manner in everyone's eyes.

The moment his feet hit the ground again, a stream of blood oozed from between his lips and dripped down his pale skin.

"Where in this world can you pick up something cheap!"

Seeing such a scene, Xie Changsheng on the viewing platform couldn't help shouting angrily again.

He Zhaoxi is not an ordinary student, he obviously has more advanced skills and richer combat experience, with his purely force crushing style of combat, no matter how good Ding Ning's understanding of the Wildfire Sword Sutra is, it is impossible for him to be effective. effect.

He Zhaoxi could have taken advantage of Ding Ning's body not recovering from the shock and easily handed out the next sword. Ding Ning had no time to react and use a delicate sword style.

Xie Changsheng could imagine that every time he blocked He Zhaoxi's sword, Ding Ning's wrist would definitely hurt like it was broken, and his entire arm would probably be numb and sore, and it would be difficult to recover for a while.

"Where in this world is there such a thing as a free pick-me-up."

Just when Xie Changsheng said these words, in the streets and alleys of Changling, a middle-aged man was sitting on a bench facing the street while drinking noodle soup, and mockingly pointed at his side. said a young man.

This middle-aged man with a straight face and a reddish complexion had a thick yellow bamboo for a porter to carry beside him. The clothes on his body were also the attire of an ordinary porter, and even a pair of straw sandals were full of dirt and were very worn out. His real identity is Qin Xuan, the criminal arrester of the Shendu prison. Although his status in Shendujian is slightly lower than that of several vicious dogs represented by Mo Qinggong, his qualifications are similar to those of Mo Qinggong and others, so in Shendujian, he can also let most people Look at his face, not the faces of most people.

At this time, the young man next to him, Meng Tianfang, is a "fresh meat" who has just been transferred to the Shendu Prison. He was taught by a fairly good sect in Changling, but after entering the Shendu Prison, he still has to be obedient. Respect him as a master and obey his instructions and teachings.

Apart from some special backers, the young people who can enter the Shendu Prison are also really hard-working young talents with careful thinking and excellent observation skills. At this moment, they heard Qin Xuan's words In a word, Meng Tianfang took it for granted.

The street in front of them at this moment is called Lion Alley, and it can be regarded as an extremely lively and prosperous place in the entire Changling Tomb.

At one end of the alley is the Jiujiang County Guild Hall, and at the other end is the Shangdang County Guild Hall, and all the shops in the middle are shops selling some antique calligraphy and paintings.

The Great Qin Dynasty has established forty-three counties, with an unprecedentedly vast territory. Changling is also unprecedentedly large, unprecedentedly magnificent and magnificent. Being bullied by people in the fields, some businesses led by them and set up many fellow village halls.

These guild halls are not only places to stay, but also the most important places for fellow villagers from other counties to find people to do business in Changling and find opportunities to make friends, so there are always cars and horses on weekdays, and it is extremely lively.

Since Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, the Great Qin Dynasty had no wars for more than ten years, and everyone was able to have enough food and clothing. Some noble families inevitably became more particular about their daily diet and utensils.

The reason why Qin Xuan said this at this moment was because a businessman from another county bought a piece of Jade Ruyi known as the Great You Dynasty for a hundred taels of silver from a vendor under his nose.

If it is really Yu Ruyi left over from the Great You Dynasty, at least the starting price is a thousand taels of silver. The vendors in the streets and alleys of Changling have been doing business for so many years, and it is impossible to sell it cheaply. However, look at the merchant from the outer county. The joyful look is obviously not for buying a fake product and returning it back, but it is clearly because he thinks that only he has a good vision and picked up the big leak at an extremely low price.

However, even if Qin Xuan has no research on antiques at all, he can be sure that this kind of thing cannot happen, it is all blinded by greed.

Qin Xuan drank the noodle soup in one gulp, and looked at the businessman from another county who was still enjoying himself with contempt. Suddenly, his expression became a little strange.

The young Shendu Supervisor officer next to him sensed that he was wrong, suddenly became nervous, and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Changling Guard."

Qin Xuan looked at the opposite side of the street with a strange expression, and seemed to answer his question, and said softly as if talking to himself: "Why did the Changling Guard come here?"

Meng Tianfang, a young officer of the Shendu Supervisor, was stunned for a moment, followed Qin Xuan's gaze, only to see dozens of Changling guards wearing mail armor walking out of another street and heading towards a convoy go.

The train team had just left from the entrance of the Jiujiang County Guild Hall.

The expression on Meng Tianfang's face also suddenly became weird.

Those Changling guards gave them the feeling that they wanted to interrogate the train convoy. However, Changling's investigation and arrest of criminals all depended on Tiansi and Shendujian, and those who needed assistance in blocking and setting up checkpoints also relied on Changling's garrison tiger and wolf army.

Although the Changling Guards belong to the Bingma Division like the Tiger Wolf Army, their duties are limited to guarding and inspecting certain fixed places on weekdays, such as the offices of some divisions, and the security around the mansions of some marquises and high officials. Guards, the periphery of the palace, the tombs of successive emperors, etc.

Of course, they can also randomly check some people who feel suspicious at any time, and of course they will take action when facing some murderers, but on the chessboard of Changling, Changling Guard is a relatively dead chess piece, just like a dog can naturally catch the family. There are mice, but a cat would be responsible for catching them, and the watchdog would go elsewhere to catch mice, which would naturally seem strange.

The most important thing is that the reason why Meng Tianfang and Qin Xuan are staring here is because they know very well that there may be a practitioner who can be described as "big rebellion" lurking in the Jiujiang County Guild Hall.
