Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 296 Kill!One Sword One Star
Outside the North Gate.

Yan Fu, who was born in a prime minister's family, stood upright slightly, with his right hand clenched into a fist, looking straight ahead, his eyes like a wolf's gaze.

The aura on his body was rising steadily, and the aura of the peak of the Fate Star Realm was released, like a lion that had been sleeping for a long time, opened its eyes and stared at its prey.

In contrast, Jiang Qingyu's aura is still falling——

The tenth rank of the day after tomorrow, the ninth rank of the day after tomorrow, the eighth rank of the day after tomorrow...

In the end, he fluctuated up and down in the seventh rank of the day after tomorrow.

But even so, the three Fate Star Realms still didn't immediately go forward to surround and kill him, as if they still had fear in their hearts.

"You are too presumptuous!"

"I think back then, when Jiang Qiushui entered the capital, he never killed a single person in the capital!"

The one who spoke was Yan Fu.

He is Yan Xiang's confidant. More than [-] years ago, when Jiang Qiushui led his army to defeat Ke Tucha and captured Youzhou, he also entered Beijing by order.

That time, Yan Xiang invited the other party to drink a pot of tea in the mansion. The tea was bestowed by the emperor. It was picked barefoot by young women in the south of the Yangtze River. It's as light as water, and it's hard to beg for three jars of strong wine to have fun.

Yan Xiang has always been self-disciplined, and there is no alcohol at home, so he ordered Yan Fu to go out to buy alcohol.

Yan Fu didn't know what the two of them talked about, but he only knew that the next day, when Jiang Qiushui was in court, he cut off the arm of an official Chai Xin who publicly criticized him with a rolled knife.

A few months later, Chai Xin was promoted by the emperor to be the governor of Youzhou, and became a thorn in the northern border, holding back Jiang Qiushui.

There were no fewer than a hundred people arguing with Jiang Qiushui that day, and the saliva of the officials almost drowned them. In the end, Chai Xin's arm was cut off, and the blood stained the golden palace, which shocked the officials. It was Jing Hong who showed up and held Jiang Qiushui's arm. He walked over to the backyard to make wine, ignored Chai Xin, and the matter ended.

Outsiders thought that Chai Xin was plagued by bad luck. Hundreds of people scolded Jiang Qiushui, but he was the only one who got revenge. But when he was promoted to the governor of Youzhou after a blessing in disguise, he aroused the envy of the crowd, making all the officials hate the one who lost his arm that day. not myself!

But Yan Fu knew that Chai Xin was actually chosen by Prime Minister Yan early on!

It is also the talent who Yan Xiang recommended to Jing Hong to be appointed to Youzhou early!

So, all this is no coincidence.

Jiang Qiushui drank three jars of wine in the prime minister's mansion, and then chopped off Chai Xin's arm in front of the Golden Palace the next day. The emperor finally showed up and did not comfort the wounded, nor punished Jiang Qiushui, but afterwards he promoted Chai Xin to be the governor of Youzhou .

Everything is Yan Xiang's plan.

As for today...

Maybe it was also planned by Yan Xiang.

As an old slave of the prime minister's mansion, Yan Fu respected the prime minister Yan Hui like a god. He believed that Prime Minister Yan Hui must have anticipated this scene, and even let Jiang Qingyu get the king's sword and deal with all the officials.
"But……"

"Did the master expect that Lord Yan would order me to abolish Shizi Jiang?"

Yan Fu thought for a while, then secretly said:
"Master predicts things like a god, there should be some."

"However, he never sent anyone to inform me, nor did he send anyone to send a kit. It seems that he was afraid of being noticed by the eagles and dogs, which would arouse His Majesty's suspicion."

"It's just like this, I'm afraid today's affairs will be difficult to be good. I, an old slave, have already stepped half of my foot into the coffin. It is not a pity to die, but the eldest lady and the uncle have a rich body, and one has unfulfilled ambitions. It is inevitable to die. Too bad."

"Forget it, the master has his own decision, and the young lady and my son-in-law have their own auspices, so it's not my turn to bother."

Yan Fu stepped forward, he never took out a dagger or sword from his sleeve or bosom like the other servants, but just clenched his right hand into a fist, concentrating all his spiritual power on it.

As the pinnacle of the Fate Star Realm, he has a sense of arrogance, and he doesn't bother to bully Jiang Qingyu with the advantage of weapons.

"Today, I won't kill you!"

"The old man is just disciplining you for Jiang Qiushui, so that you can realize that the capital is not the northern border of your Jiang family and his son, and you can let you do whatever you want!"

Beside him, the other two gray-robed old men in the middle stage of Fate Star Realm looked at each other, and they all stepped up to keep up, but they were a little behind Yan Fu by half a step, obviously not wanting to be the first to stand out.

At this time, Jiang Qingyu's aura had fallen to the bottom, and it seemed that he could not even maintain the seventh-rank realm of Houtian, but there was no trace of panic on his face, as if he was confident:

"Back then, my father did not kill people because there were people in the capital who were guilty, but the crime did not warrant death! Today I am killing people at the north gate with the king's sword because some of you have committed capital crimes!"

"On this point, His Majesty also agrees."

Jiang Qingyu pointed at the three Fate Star Realm elders with Wang Jian, raised her head slightly, and asked:
"It's useless to talk too much, you..."

"Who will come first?"

The three looked at each other, and then the other two turned their attention to Yan Fu.

Right now, Jiang Qingyu is still in the promotion stage, and her strength fluctuates, making it unpredictable.

Judging from Cai Cai's situation just now, the highest state he can touch is the peak of the early stage of the Fate Star Realm, which is only a thin line away from the cultivation base of the two, and with the addition of Wang Jian, it is possible to defeat or even kill one of them.

But Yan Fu was different, he was at the pinnacle of the Fate Star Realm, and if he took the shot, it was enough to ensure that nothing would go wrong!
and……

No matter who it was, Jiang Qingyu would be punished or retaliated after being seriously injured or even killed. The two of them naturally didn't want that person to be themselves.

In addition, the great eunuch Yan Songyu is watching from the top of the city, no one knows his attitude, let alone predict whether the other party will lend a helping hand when Jiang Qingyu is in danger, and will kill those who killed him at the North Gate!

"Old Yan, you are highly respected, so you should come."

"Yeah, the two of us are standing by for you."

The two lowered their posture and took another half step back.

"..."

Yan Fu naturally wouldn't let the two sit on the sidelines, so he snorted coldly:
"Let's go together!"

"At this point, what kind of benevolence and morality are there? You have already bullied the small with the big, so why not add another one to bully the small?"

The two smiled helplessly, not daring to object.

Compared with Yan Fu, who was backed by the prime minister's house, the two of them were weaker both in terms of strength and backing, and with all the dignitaries watching from behind, if they behaved cowardly, they would be punished by their masters afterwards.

Of course, the premise is that they have to survive today's catastrophe first.

"Okay, then let's go together!"

An old man in gray robe took out a dark wooden dagger from his arms.

This object was a gift from a friend of his several years ago. It is not sharp, but it is extremely hard and not easy to break.

There are many dignitaries in the capital, the master ordered him to guard the three young masters on weekdays, but he also told him not to cause any deaths, so as not to offend any nobles, so he used to carry a wooden dagger when he went out, and when he lectured others for the young master, he only hurt people. kill.

Right now it comes in handy.

Another gray-robed old man frowned slightly, and snatched a half-human iron rod from a servant at the side.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyu's aura began to rise, from the first entry to the seventh rank of Houtian to the middle stage of the seventh rank, and steadily increased!
"on!"

Seeing this, Yan Fu hurriedly gave a low voice:
"Hurry up to defeat his aura and seriously injure him, otherwise it will be difficult when he touches the innate again!"

The other two didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took wooden daggers and iron bars to pinch Jiang Qingyu from the left and right sides.

The aura of the middle stage of the Fate Star Realm surged on their bodies, and the spiritual power in their bodies flooded the utensils in their hands like waves of tides, making them tremble and whisper, as if they couldn't bear this power, they would collapse in the next moment!
Yan Fu killed from it, because the old skinny right fist began to swell under the influx of spiritual power, like a hammer that has been tempered for thousands of years, and a fierce beast that chooses people to devour.

His fists burst out with a crackling sound, as if he had been reborn to the peak period at the age of 40 or [-]. To others, it sounded like thunder and lightning, and beasts roaring together!
"This punch has the power of a hundred beasts, which is very good. But..."

"This style of boxing has never been excerpted from the Sutra Pavilion in the Palace of Rejecting North."

Jiang Qingyu ignored the two old men in gray robes, just looked directly at Yan Fu, and asked:
"Did you realize it yourself, or was it created by the predecessors?"

With a proud face, Yan Fu uttered a few words with his lips:

"It was created by Yan Xiang!"

"Yan Xiang?"

Jiang Qingyu was quite surprised.

This old man held a very important position in the court of Chu State, and almost every courtier had been instructed and promoted by him.For so many years, every performance he played will be carefully considered by Jing Hong, and nine out of ten will be adopted!

Some people called him and Jiang Qiushui, the King of Rejecting the North, the Shuangbi of Great Chu!
This civil and martial arts propped up the current glory of Dachu!

However, different from King Rejecting the North, Yan Hui has a very good reputation both among the people and in the court. In addition, he is old and has a short lifespan, so he is trusted and reused by Jing Hong more and more, and he is never suspicious.

Another very important reason is that he has no cultivation base at all, he is an ordinary person who has never realized his innate nature, nor tempered his body!
Many people firmly believe that if Yan Hui had been a celestial being, the situation would have been different.

Both Jiang Qingyu and his father thought so.

But today Yan Fu said that Yan Hui, who doesn't know martial arts, actually created a boxing method of his own!
Could it be...

This person, like King Rejecting the North, has been hiding clumsiness?

"Yan Xiang only cared for his body and did not practice martial arts all his life. He is still an ordinary person, and he has never even set foot in the first rank of Hou Tian, ​​so outsiders think that his martial arts talent is weak."

"but it is not the truth!"

Yan Fu whispered in a voice that only he and Jiang Qingyu could hear:
"Yan Xiang's talent in martial arts may not be as good as that of King Rejecting the North and Wolf King, but if he concentrates on practicing martial arts from the beginning, then it shouldn't be difficult for him to be on par with Master Xue Mu, Father Xu Xiaosi and others!"

"Just be a courtier, don't take the lead!"

"Yan Xiang's intelligence is already one of the best in the capital. If he has more achievements in martial arts, it will not be icing on the cake, but a dead end!"

"So, if you don't practice martial arts, you are wise and safe!"

"As for my punch, it's not really a brilliant punch, it's just one of a set of health-cultivating skills that Yan Xiang studied ancient books in his spare time!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu's heart skipped a beat.

Ordinary people theoretically have a 70-year lifespan, but most people will die when they are around [-] or [-] years old. Only those who are born above can live a hundred years or even longer!
In order to prolong their lives, some people figured out health-cultivating skills, claiming that if they practice one set every day, they can strengthen their bodies and live to 99.

Almost all cultivators look down on this kind of health-cultivating skills, because they do not kill at all, they cannot be used in actual combat, and they are not even comparable to the acquired first-rank martial skills.

But Yan Xiang's health cultivation skills seem to be different.

Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Qingyu's mind, but she didn't have time to think about it carefully, because the attack of the three Fate Star Realm was already approaching her.

The two grey-robed old men approached in a pincer attack, one from the left and the other from the right. The aura belonging to the middle stage of the Fate Star Realm was unreservedly released, like two giant mountains pressing down one's breath!
The weapons in their hands are a wooden dagger and an iron rod. In terms of rank, they are even inferior to the standard swords of the imperial guards, let alone comparable to the Wang Jian, which is only a line behind the level of divine weapons.

But no matter how good the sword is, it will turn into a pile of scrap iron in the hands of a weak master.

And even if it is a broken sword and a rusty knife, in the hands of their fate star realm, it can show the sharpness of cutting iron like mud!

"kill!"

"Many years ago, the King of Rejecting the North broke Chai Xin's arm in the capital. Your lords still bear this grudge to this day! So today, I will not kill you, but just break your arm to repay the old revenge!"

The old man in civilian clothes with a wooden dagger came to Jiang Qingyu first, his momentum was overwhelming, and his strength was fully displayed.

The dark dagger cut an arc in the air, and the sound of breaking through the air seemed to cut bones and limbs, and it slashed at Jiang Qingyu's left arm, which had never held a sword!

On the other side, another old man swept towards his legs with an iron rod, his eyes were fierce and his face was murderous:
"Last spring, my little son climbed up to the roof of Jixia Academy to watch the exam and applauded Mr. Fan Yu. However, during the period, he was disturbed by your brother Jiang Qingshu. Unfortunately, he fell down, broke his legs, and was bedridden for half a year!"

"Today, the old man is going to vent his anger on the young master!"

Under the blessing of spiritual power, the iron rod turned red all over, as if it was burning in a furnace!
No one doubted that if this stick was hit, Jiang Qingyu, the heir of the king who refused to go to the north, would have to stay in bed for three years at least!It may even become disabled from now on!
"..."

At this moment, Jiang Qingyu's aura had just risen to the eighth rank of Houtian, and facing the full force attack of the two middle-stage Fate Star Realms, even if he had the king sword in his hand, it was impossible for the weak to defeat the strong!
"It's over..."

On the top of the city, Xue Fang, the commander of the imperial guards, couldn't help snorting softly when he saw this:
"His Royal Highness is too conceited. Even if he succeeds in breaking through, he is only in the early stages of the Fate Star Realm. He is no match for the three Fate Star Realm elders! What's more, he is still in a state of ups and downs in cultivation. It is difficult to possess the power of the Fate Star Realm!"

"So, if Jiang Langya and the others don't act, then he will be dead!"

After that, he glanced at the eunuch Yan Songyu again, and asked:

"Eunuch Yan, if Jiang Langya and others break into the north gate, will the general come forward to stop him?"

I saw that Yan Song didn't look sideways, but said lightly:
"Commander Xue can decide on his own."

On the side, Jing Li firmly grasped the corners of the clothes with both hands, stared at the white clothes below, and prayed secretly:

"No, son!"

"I believe you will be able to save the day!"

……

at the same time.

Outside the North Gate.

Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Qingyu chuckled, and finally slowly swung the Wang Jian in his hand.

He turned to face the first old man in gray robe, and said with a smile:
"Jiang Qiushui broke Chai Xin's arm in the past, and Chai Xin was promoted to governor of Youzhou not long after."

After saying a word, the aura on his body suddenly rose, and he came to the Ninth Grade of Houtian.

"Today, you want to cut off my arm. I don't know if there are any vacant first- and second-rank official positions in the capital that can allow me to sit for a while?"

After one more sentence, his aura has already climbed to the peak of the Houtian tenth rank, and the difference is only a thread!
"If not, then I have to keep this arm for myself."

After the last sentence was spoken, Jiang Qingyu's aura suddenly rose, as if seeing the sun through the clouds, and finally set foot on Xiantian again!
At the same time, he swung his sword down.

The golden sword light is like the rising sun, and the rays of light are ten feet high, devouring all the dark edges cut out by the wooden dagger!
next moment.

There was only a scream, and then a corpse rolled aside, its body was covered with scars, the clothes were bloody, and its arms were severed!

With just one sword, a mid-life star has fallen!

At this time, another commoner old man's iron rod almost touched Jiang Qingyu's legs, causing a corner of his white clothes to be broken, and it was about to break him!

But suddenly, Jiang Qingyu turned around, fixed her eyes on the man, startled him slightly.

"You just said that your little son broke his legs because of my brother?"

Jiang Qingyu smiled:
"It's ridiculous! You didn't take good care of your little master, let him climb up to the roof, and then sat and watched him fall. It's obviously a breach of duty by the guards. Why do you hate my brother?"

"Today, I will punish you for your negligence on behalf of your master!"

As he spoke, he swung his sword again.

boom!
The golden sword light was like a ray of light shining through the clouds and seeing the sun, it was extremely glaring, it cut off the iron rod with a clang, and split the old man's body in two!
The long street was stained red with blood, and the old man died in such a miserable state that he didn't even have time to scream!
boom!
After killing the two Fate Star Realm, Jiang Qingyu's aura once again touched the peak of the early Fate Star Realm.

It was also the highest level he had touched before.

He ignored the corpses of the two, but turned around slowly, and coldly glanced at the terrified dignitaries:

"Who else has a grudge against my elder brother, please stand up together, new and old grudges, today I will settle it on his behalf!"

The voice fell.

I saw his aura skyrocketed again, breaking through the early stage of the Fate Star Realm and stepping into the middle stage!
At the same time, Yan Fu, who was aware of this, stopped and looked at Jiang Qingyu with a complicated expression, in a dilemma.

Adding Wang Jian in the middle stage of Star Realm...

Now he was not sure that he would seriously injure Jiang Qingyu easily. On the contrary, he had to worry about whether he would become another dead soul under Wang Jian like the two who died!
