Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

173 - Sword Battle
Before dawn, Duguhong went to the west gate of the city first, and directly boarded the city wall with light kung fu, thrust the black iron epee on the ground, clasped his hands, closed his eyes and waited.

The vicinity of the city wall is already overcrowded, and more martial arts practitioners have come to hide in the streets and alleys, roof corridors, and soldiers have been on the streets to maintain order and guard against possible chaos.

Fan Zhuoyuan saw Tong Guan. As the most powerful person in Yancheng, he directly booked the tallest restaurant nearby, so he could see everything on the city wall with an excellent view.

As soon as Fan Zhuoyuan and Duguhong arrived, Tong Guan called them up.

"It seems that you are very familiar with Dugu Hong?"

Fan Zhuoyuan said: "It's just a shared interest."

Tong Guan didn't ask any more questions, he was playing with two iron gallbladders in his hand, sitting on the grand teacher's chair brought by the soldiers, and was also waiting for the arrival of Jian Gao Shen Xing.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked around from the top of the building, saw all kinds of people from all corners of the country, saw the monks of Fayuan Temple, saw some military generals, and Mu Qing who was wearing a bamboo hat and was hiding in the crowd unobtrusively research.

If her senior sister and brother-in-law were not around, Fan Zhuoyuan might not have recognized her.

Mu Qingyan nodded slightly at Fan Zhuoyuan, she planned to go to the White Horse Temple after watching the duel.

Apart from these people, Fan Zhuoyuan believed that Feiyue, the witch who had fought yesterday, must also be hiding nearby.

The duel between the sword demon and the sword god is considered to be the biggest event in the martial arts in recent years, especially for those who are committed to the way of the sword, they hope to gain the understanding of the way of the sword from the confrontation between the two.

Everyone waited for a long time, only to see a group of people from the Kingdom of Jin approaching slowly at the end of the long street, and Gao Shenxing accompanied them, with a smile on his face, a confident and relaxed expression, and a three-pointed excitement.

This is the best state before the battle, which means that this person will be able to give full play today.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the other party, secretly guessing whether he was himself.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin also booked another nearby building, went straight into the building, and reached the top of the building.

Gao Shenxing climbed up the tower alone, he didn't use lightness kung fu to leap up like Duguhong, he looked chic and plain.

On the tower, the two stood ten steps apart.

Dugu Hong slowly opened his eyes, put his hand on the hilt of the epee, without saying a word, released the sword intent very crisply, and the air suddenly became extremely oppressive.

Even the red sun that had just risen turned dim in an instant.

The smile on Gao Shenxing's face disappeared suddenly. He originally wanted to say a few words on the scene, but he couldn't even say a word at the moment. He really didn't expect the Heshuo Sword Demon opposite him to be so direct.

Affected by the strong sword intent, the famous sword around Gao Shenxing's waist suddenly came out of its sheath, and a dazzling sword light like sunlight and snow was reflected in the midair.

The sword light flashed across the audience in an instant, passing everyone's eyes like a hallucination.

Everyone squinted involuntarily, at this very moment.

The strong murderous intent and sword intent released by the two people on the city wall collided with each other. With the two as the center, invisible sword energy appeared on the city wall where they were, cutting the ground and the walls on both sides into sword marks.

Fan Zhuoyuan's eyelids twitched, and he thought: This heart war is unexpectedly strong.

The two confronted each other for more than a quarter of an hour, and the people who watched the battle, apart from the real masters, many people from the rivers and lakes who didn't know what they meant, started talking nonsense.

"Hit! Why don't you hit?"

"I think it's a silver pewter gun head, what kind of bullshit sword demon sword god, it's really bluffing."

"Hey, is it because you want us to wait from day to night?"

Fan Zhuo took a long look at those Jianghu people who spoke wild words, and he was about to go down holding the Dragon Slaying Saber.

But Tong Guan stopped him, "Let the soldiers deal with this matter."

After one word of order, the two accompanying eunuchs immediately left with the order, and immediately there were soldiers rushing into the crowd like wolves and tigers, and began to disperse them wantonly.

Some people were dissatisfied and wanted to resist, but the crossbowmen who had already occupied the commanding heights immediately took the opportunity to call their names and killed without mercy.

Most of the people began to retreat, and a few people wanted to resist, but despite the organizational strength of the enemy's army, after dozens of corpses were left behind, the boring people who were cursing and watching the fun were all dispersed.

True masters of course have their own way to lurk, Tong Guan also turned a blind eye to this, originally this move was just to disperse the flies.

The two men on the city wall had fought hundreds of times in their minds, but neither of them was impetuous. They still maintained their original postures, and they didn't even make any tentative moves.

The sun gradually rose from the morning sun to mid-air, and before one knew it, an hour had passed, and the sky was bright.

And there was still no movement between the two of them, but the sword energy between the two became more intense, from destroying the surrounding walls and floors, they were gradually able to touch each other's clothes and accessories.

The clothes on the two people were each cut four times by the opponent's invisible sword energy.

This movement is extremely subtle. If you don't take the initiative to observe, you will never know that such a thing happened.

Fan Zhuoyuan knew that the sword energy seemed to have no effect on his clothes, but in fact, in the battle of minds, the two sides nearly killed each other four times, which was extremely dangerous.

Immediately afterwards, seven eyelashes of Dugu Hong's left eye broke without warning.

Fan Zhuoyuan's heart tightened, but Duguhong didn't even blink his eyes.

In the next moment, several strands of hair on the side of Gao Shenxing's neck were cut off, leaving a slight mark on his skin.

Gao Shenxing also didn't move, but his eyes became deeper.

At this moment, the confrontation between the two in their minds became more and more intense, and they had gradually touched the vital points of their opponents.

At this level, the battle in the mind is about to turn into actual combat!

And once it turns into an actual battle, the outcome will be instant.

Fan Zhuoyuan couldn't help but whispered: "It's almost over."

Tong Guan's martial arts were a little weaker, and he didn't see the subtle changes in his eyelashes and hair just now, so he turned his head and looked at Fan Zhuoyuan in surprise, "How do you know?"

Those who made the same judgment as Fan Zhuoyuan were Mu Qingyan and his senior sister who were hiding in the inn.

All three of them involuntarily clenched their hands, waiting nervously and expectantly for the next outcome.

In addition, there are Weiming, the abbot of Fayuan Temple, Yunlong and Feiyue of the Yingui sect, the master and apprentice.

The other masters present, or there are only two or three people who can observe this detail, but most of them are like Tong Guan, thinking that the victory or defeat is far away.

At this moment, Dugu Hong pulled out the epee that was stuck on the ground, and Gao Shenxing pointed the sword obliquely to the opposite side.

The aura suddenly changed, and the dull pressure that was about to rain disappeared instantly. All the strength, spirit, will, and skills were all concentrated in the offensive that the two were about to launch!
Fan Zhuoyuan took a step forward, holding the guardrail tightly with both hands, and a deep palm print was immediately pressed on the wooden guardrail.

All his attention was focused on the upcoming victory and defeat on the city wall, and everyone around him was like this, full of tension, excitement and anticipation.

But he didn't notice that there was a man in ordinary coarse cloth who quietly came five steps behind Fan Zhuoyuan with a sword in his hand, and took off the human skin mask on his face, his murderous intentions were secretly aroused.

Although the murderous intention was behind, it was covered up by Duguhong and "Gao Shenxing"'s shocking killing intent, and Fan Zhuoyuan's spiritual sense did not respond in time.
