"We respect the academy because of its prestige in the martial arts world over the years. This is the prestige built by the Confucian Sage and many predecessors with their own strength." Mu Xi, the head of the Tianshu Hall, appeared in front of them pushing a wheelchair. "You younger generations should not let them down."
"Who are you?" Zhou Zheng asked.
Mu Xi frowned: "You don't know me?"
Zhou Zheng turned to look at Feng Zuojun, who quickly replied, "The head of the Tianshu Hall is Mu Xi."
"It turns out to be Master Mu." Zhou Zheng nodded.
Mu Xi sneered: "You are very arrogant."
Zhou Zheng replied: "This is the first time I've come down the mountain in many years, so I don't know many people. But Master Mu, you are very famous. I've heard Master mention you."
"Oh? What did the Confucian sage say?" Mu Xi asked.
"The gentleman only said three words." Zhou Zheng sighed softly, "What a pity."
Mu Xi was silent for a long time, and finally said: "It's unlikely that you can go there like this."
"But the road is right here. The only one who can stop me from entering the Demon Castle is the owner of the Demon Castle." Zhou Zheng looked ahead. "It makes no sense for you to stop us."
"Devil City is secretly colluding with the Demon Sect..." Mu Xi raised his head with a cold look.
"But there is no Demon Sect." Zhou Zheng said slowly.
"A gentleman of integrity!" Mu Xi said sternly.
"And the remnant of the Demon Sect you are talking about is my junior sister. I think you know very well what we senior brothers are willing to do to protect her." Zhou Zheng's tone has been calm all the time, but his words are full of threats.
The second gentleman, Nanyu Tower, ranks third in the world.
How would these five gentlemen rank in the world
"Among all the gentlemen in our academy, Second Senior Brother has the worst knowledge but the best martial arts, and my knowledge is second only to Second Senior Brother, so my martial arts is also second only to Second Senior Brother." Zhou Zheng waved his hand lightly, and a long sword came out of its sheath and fell between him and Mu Xi.
"Mr. Zhou Zheng, are you going to take action?" Mu Xi said in a deep voice.
"If someone blocks our way, we should take action." Zhou Zheng said in a clear voice, "Please teach me."
"Okay." Mu Xi shouted, "As long as you, Mr. Zhou Zheng, can defeat me, then the three of you can pass through here."
Wang Ruoxu glanced at Mu Xi and said, "Master Mu, it's inappropriate to make this decision without authorization, right?"
Mu Xi waved his hand to stop Wang Ruoxu from saying anything further: "Brother Wang, there is no need to say more. Besides, this road is guarded by the Tianshu Hall. If they want to pass through here, it is naturally our Tianshu Hall that will stop them."
"Okay." Zhou Zheng nodded.
Mu Xi gently waved his palm, and Xie Yuling and Feng Zuojun only felt an astonishing pressure coming down from the sky and hitting them. They almost couldn't breathe for a moment. However, Zhou Zheng, who was closest to Mu Xi, remained calm, but his long robe fluttered slightly.
"Wind God Palm." Zhou Zheng exclaimed, "It's a very powerful martial art."
"You talk too much." Mu Xi swung out another palm. The power of this palm was so great that it forced the disciples of the four major families standing on both sides to step back several steps, while Zhou Zheng remained calm and stood there steadily.
"Senior brother, please hide for a moment." Feng Zuojun said anxiously.
"The Wind God Palm is not about the method, but about the momentum. If the momentum is strong, the palm will be strong, and if the momentum is weak, the palm will be weak. If you retreat, the momentum will be lost, and the wind will be stronger, able to clear everything in front of you." Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Don't retreat."
"Then draw your sword." Feng Zuojun really had no way to deal with this Fifth Gentleman. Whether in the academy or here, he could never figure out his thoughts.
"Mr. Zuo, what kind of swordsmanship am I practicing?" Zhou Zheng suddenly asked.
Feng Zuojun was stunned: "Should she have learned the Shi Shui sword technique like Senior Sister?"
"Yes, the Flowing Water Sword Technique was created and passed down by Second Senior Brother. Do you know where the essence of the Flowing Water Sword Technique lies?" Zhou Zheng asked.
Feng Zuojun said anxiously: "I haven't practiced it before, I don't know."
"It's in the flowing water." Zhou Zheng said slowly.
"Don't play dumb at this critical moment of life and death!" Feng Zuojun said helplessly.
"As the saying goes, flowing water is like flowing water, which never returns." Zhou Zheng remained calm and walked forward under Mu Xi's powerful palm.
Mu Xi's Wind God Palm was so powerful that Xie Yuling and Feng Zuojun, who were standing far away, felt as if a sharp sword was coming towards them. If Zhou Zheng walked towards it, wouldn't it be like facing dozens of sharp swords
"Mr. Zhou has extraordinary self-control, but my next palm will kill someone." Mu Xi said in a deep voice.
"I finally understand." Zhou Zheng walked to his sword and lowered his head.
"What do you understand?" Mu Xi asked.
"It's really a pity. There is a majestic aura in the palm of your hand, but you have trapped yourself in a small space." Zhou Zheng grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand.
"Nonsense!" Mu Xi suddenly stood up from the wheelchair.
All the onlookers from the four major families were shocked. It turned out that the leg of the head of the Tianshu Hall was not broken!
Mu Xi pushed out with one palm and went straight towards Zhou Zheng.
"Time is like flowing water, it will never come back. Then..." Zhou Zheng waved his hand forward, "The sword will never come back!"
The long sword flew out, directly piercing through Mu Xi's palm, brushed past Mu Xi's temples, and headed straight for the gate of Demon City.
Mu Xi withdrew his palm and returned to his wheelchair. He lowered his head slightly, as if he had lost all his strength. He coughed softly and said, "Mr. Zhou, what a good swordsmanship."
"Not as good as Second Senior Brother." Zhou Zheng walked past Mu Xi, and Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling hurriedly followed.
Wang Ruoxu looked at Dongfang Yunwo and said, "You're not going to chase me?"
Dongfang Yun glanced at Mu Xi and said, "Since Hall Master Mu and Mr. Zhou have agreed to this, there is nothing we can do."
"Did you see the sword clearly just now?" Wang Ruoxu asked again.
"You didn't see clearly." Dongfang Yun said with a smile.
Wang Ruoxu was stunned, his pupils slightly shrank: "Brother Dongfang, why do you say that?"
"Because of him." Dongfang Yun pointed at the long sword that was still flying away, "Nine swords were released."
With a "ding" sound, a long sword was stuck on the high city wall, frightening the horse-faced man who was dozing there and trembling all over. The horse-faced man stood up, looked at the sword, and then looked into the distance: "These bastards are finally going to take action?"
Niu Tou was also dumbfounded: "Damn it, you can throw a sword over here from such a distance?"
"What should we do? Should we go down and take a look at the situation?"
"With the power of this sword, we are no match for it."
"Go find the boss?"
"We should find the city lord!"
"I really want to see City Lord Mo." Suddenly, a man stepped on the long sword, and his academy robe fluttered in the wind. "But it's better for me to go see him."
"How did you get up here?" Niutou was shocked.
Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Of course he jumped up."
“What kind of light skill is this…” Horse-Faced Guard turned pale with fright.
"I am Nangong Xier's senior brother." Zhou Zheng said, "I am here to help you."
"Mr. Zhou Zheng is a friend. You two should quickly welcome him in." Mo Wen's voice came from a distance.
Niutou and Mamian were as if they had been pardoned. They immediately clasped their fists towards Zhou Zheng and said, "So you are the Five Gentlemen! What an honor, what an honor!"
At this time, a voice came from the bottom of the city.
"Please open the city gate... The wall is so high, we can't jump up..."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I have two fellow apprentices under the city. Thank you for your help."
