Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 74
"Don't come here!"

Seeing the drunken Jiangnan rubbing his hands, licking his lips, and walking towards him with burning eyes, the Second Prince couldn't help but exclaim.

Retreat instinctively.

Panicked, he forgot that there were steps behind him, tripped over the steps, and sat down on the steps.

"Brother Jiang, come on, stop joking."

At the critical moment, Aji reached out and grabbed Jiangnan's sleeve.

Having already offended the Zhongnan Sword Sect and the Jin family, Aji didn't want Jiangnan to offend another Shanyang Palace.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Jiang Nan stopped approaching the Second Prince, turned his head and asked in surprise.

"Haha, His Royal Highness was just joking just now, and didn't really want to steal my things." Aji looked for the steps for the second prince.

As a senior alcoholic, Aji is also familiar with the way to deal with drunks, which is to follow the other party.

The nerves of a drunkard are stimulated by alcohol, and they are both dull and hyperactive, eating soft but not hard.

It's the worst way to be unreasonable, and it's also the best way to fool.

"Really?" Hearing this, Jiang Nan cast his eyes on the Second Prince who was squatting on the steps of the stairs.

"Yes, yes." The second son nodded hastily: "This son... I am just being naughty for a while, and I want to make a joke with the hero Aji."

Just now, facing Jiangnan Chiguoguo's eyes, the Second Prince finally understood how those good families felt when they faced him.

Jiangnan was a little disappointed.

However, Aji has to give face.

He waved his hand and smiled: "Haha. I just want to make a joke with His Royal Highness."

"Hahaha. It's all a joke." The Second Prince smiled awkwardly: "So, I won't disturb the two of you drinking, so let's leave first?"

Aggie waved his hand.

If the second son is released, he gets up and leaves.

"Brother, it's getting late, why don't you go to Huang's house with me to stay overnight?" Aji suggested.

Although Huang Batian is just a local tyrant on the surface, he has a special background behind him.

Now that Jiangnan offended the Zhongnan Sword Sect and the Jin family in order to help him, and got drunk again, the Huang family should give them some protection because of their feelings and reason.

"Okay!"

Jiang Nan, who was drunk, didn't think much about it. He just felt that he had a good relationship with Aji and agreed.

"Want to leave? Leave Taibai Jianling and the beating scholar behind first."

As soon as Jiang Nan finished speaking, another cold and arrogant voice came from the stairs.

"Deng deng deng-"

Four men in the same clothes came up from the stairs.

Three of them carried swords on their backs, and the other person without a sword was Li Xuanzhen who had been robbed of the sword by Jiangnan.

"Uncle Master, this is the scholar! He not only broke my three fingers in a sneak attack, but also snatched the Clear Water Sword from my master." Li Xuanzhen impatiently pointed to Jiangnan, and complained to his companion with a goatee beard beside him .

"How do you address your Excellency? You know that Xuanzhen is my disciple of the Zhongnan Sword Sect?"

Goat Must stared at Jiangnan and said coldly.

"Zhang Zhilin, you are so majestic!"

Before Jiang Nan could answer, Aji had already stepped forward and shouted disdainfully.

"Are you that useless Aggie?"

Goat-bearded Zhang Zhilin frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to Aji.

On the way here, he heard Li Xuanzhen introduce the situation in the restaurant, and knew that this scruffy one-armed man was the hidden master of the Huang family.

It's just that he didn't take Aji seriously.

Whether it is training weapons or fists, the most important thing for a warrior to rely on is his right hand.

A cripple who has lost his right arm, no matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be?
In Zhang Zhilin's mind, Aji's reputation is mostly due to the fact that the opponents are mostly ordinary people who are not on the stage, and they are praised by ignorant people.

Who knows.

After seeing Aji's appearance clearly, Zhang Zhilin, who was standing proudly and tall, suddenly changed his face, staggered, and almost sat down on the ground.

"Du... Du... Dugu... Are you Dugu Dongliu?"

Zhang Zhilin's teeth were chattering, his face full of disbelief.

"Since you know it's me, don't you hurry up?"

Aji frowned and shouted coldly.

Zhang Zhilin's face changed again, and when he moved his feet, he instinctively wanted to turn around and flee, but when his gaze passed Aji's empty right sleeve again, his movements stopped immediately.

The tense expression was instantly released.

"Oh! You are so majestic, I really thought you were the strongest swordsman ever?!"

Zhang Zhilin stared at Aji's missing right arm, came back to his senses, and laughed loudly.

"I heard that after you competed with Li Mubai of the Divine Sword Villa, you disappeared from the rivers and lakes. I didn't expect that you lost your arm and became disabled. Hahaha..."

"What a retribution!"

"Back then, in Xiliang Road, you cut off my senior brother's arm with a single knife, how majestic! Now, you have also tasted the feeling of losing an arm! Hahaha..."

Seeing the former high-ranking enemy suddenly become what he is now, the joy in Zhang Zhilin's heart is unimaginable.

It's like the boss who often made things difficult for you, suddenly got unlucky and was sent to clean the latrine.

When you see each other again after going to the toilet, that kind of comfort!
"Hahaha……"

The three fellow disciples beside Zhang Zhilin, including Li Xuanzhen, heard that this scruffy one-armed man in front of him was actually the once famous Dugu Dongliu, after being astonished, they also laughed along with Zhang Zhilin.

Back then, Dugu Dongliu chopped off Zhang Zhilin's arm with a single blow, but it made the entire Zhongnan Sword Sect lose face.

It's a pity that because of Dugu Dongliu's special status, even with the power of the Zhongnan Sword Sect, he couldn't rush forward for revenge.

And fighting alone, there is not a second-generation disciple in the entire Zhongnan Sword Sect who is an opponent of Dugu Dongliu...

One can imagine the aggrieved hearts of these Zhongnan Sword Sect disciples!

He never expected that the young master of the Dugu family, who was once so prosperous in the sky, would fall into such a state.

How can we not let them vent their sulking anger? !
"Laugh at you numb!"

Jiang Nan, who was irritated by the laughter, pointed at the four members of the Zhongnan Sword Sect and cursed.

All four were choked, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

"you wanna die!"

That Zhang Zhilin's face was ashen, his right hand was falsely drawn, and the long sword on his back was unsheathed.

As soon as the sword was in hand, it immediately turned into a sword shadow and enveloped Jiangnan's body mercilessly, intending to tear Jiangnan into pieces.

"Bang-"

The wooden table next to him was suddenly overturned by Aji, blocking between Jiangnan and Zhang Zhilin.

"Swipe brush..."

The thick solid wood table turned into sawdust in an instant.

Jiang Nan's eyes froze, and he immediately sobered up a lot from the alcohol.

Even though they are both in the fifth grade of stellar qi, Zhang Zhilin's martial arts are obviously much stronger than the dying gold treasurer on the ground.

The swordsmanship practiced by the other party has obviously reached a level close to perfection.

Jiang Nan drew out the long sword he had snatched from Li Xuanzhen, and was about to fight back when Aji gently stretched out his hand to hold it down.

"Let me do it."

Aji's voice was low, and he smiled at Jiangnan.

He could tell that Jiangnan's martial arts level was actually not high, and he was already very reluctant to defeat the shopkeeper Jin just now.Facing this Zhilin, most likely he is not an opponent.

"Just you? You crippled? Hahaha..."

When Zhang Zhilin saw that Aji said that he wanted to do it himself, he laughed again as if he had heard a big joke.

Before the laughter was over, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then his cheeks hurt. Aji had already slapped him with his only left hand, and hit Li Xuanzhen behind him.

The two immediately rolled into a ball.

"Master..."

The other two disciples of the Zhongnan Sword Sect were shocked, and came to help them in a hurry.

Zhang Zhilin violently pushed away a disciple who came to help him, and a "carp standing upright" stood up by himself.Carefully laying the long sword across his chest, he assumed a defensive posture, and looked at Aji, who could not see any emotional fluctuations, his face turned blue and white.

After a long while, he shouted angrily: "Young master of the dignified Dugu family, unexpectedly attacked! If you have the ability, try to take a few swords from me head-on?"

"Okay. You make a move." Aji said lightly.

"brush--"

Zhang Zhilin was also polite, and the long sword transformed into a sword shadow again, attacking Aji's only left arm.

Just now, Aji used his only left arm to slap Zhang Zhilin hard.

Therefore, Zhang Zhilin set his target on the left arm as soon as he made a move.

Not only did he want to find an opportunity to cut off Aji's only left arm for revenge, but he also wanted to lock Aji's only combat power.Seeing that he can't even use his only left arm, how can he beat someone? !
The shadow of the sword filled the sky, blocking all the attack range of Aji's left arm.

Aji's expression remained the same, he leaned back, and his whole body suddenly became half shorter. His left arm was thrown back, but his right leg took the opportunity to kick forward. The whole body was like a "D", forming a strange balance.

The right foot that was kicked out was faster and more violent than the left hand that was swung out just now, just from bottom to top, it hit Zhang Zhilin's wrist holding the sword.

"Crack-"

Zhang Zhilin's wrist was broken and his long sword was thrown flying.

The whole person was also shocked by the power transmitted from the wrist to the arm, and he took several steps back.

"The clown jumping beam is vulnerable!"

Aji slowly stood up straight, looked at the shocked Zhang Zhilin, and sighed with disdain.

"you……"

Zhang Zhilin's face was pale.

This talented young master of the Dugu family, even though he lost his arm with a knife, is still stronger than he expected.

I thought that I could get a bargain while capturing the Taibai Sword Token, and win the great reputation of defeating the genius swordsman Dugu Dongliu, but who knows...

"Sure enough, even a tiger that landed in Pingyang is still a tiger, and ordinary dogs cannot be bullied!"

Zhang Zhilin felt bitter in his heart.

Then, I realized that this was wrong——

Isn't this calling yourself a "dog"? !
"Okay, today I admit it!" Zhang Zhilin looked at Aji and gritted his teeth.

"However, this Shannan Road is the territory of my Zhongnan Sword Sect after all. You have exposed your identity in Shannan Road, and you are carrying a rare object like the Taibai Sword Ling that everyone wants... I don't think you can use a knife. How much can you block?" Bowo is a master of the Zhongnan Sword Sect!"

"Hehe. I don't need you, a clown, to worry about that." Aji said lightly.

"Humph!"

Zhang Zhilin made fun of himself, snorted coldly, and walked aside, about to pick up his long sword that was kicked away.

Jiang Nan grabbed the long sword into his hand first.

The blade is cold, and it is also a rare and good sword.

Zhang Zhilin paused in the air with his outstretched left hand, slightly taken aback.

"Give me back the sword!"

Zhang Zhilin shouted angrily at Jiangnan.

"Why?"

Jiang Nan casually drew a sword flower with his long sword.

Zhang Zhilin thought that Jiang Nan was going to attack him, so he took two steps back in fright, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Try my sword!" Jiang Nan looked like an idiot.

Fang Buddha is saying, you are a master, you can't even see such a simple thing.

"That's my sword." Zhang Zhilin gritted his teeth and emphasized.

"It's mine now." Jiang Nan held the long sword and blew on the cold blade.

"You...you snatch weapons, you don't talk about martial arts!" Zhang Zhilin glanced at Li Xuanzhen's sword on Jiangnan's waist and his own long sword in his hand, and pointed at Jiangnan angrily with his intact left hand.

"Hey, are you talking about martial arts while others are in danger?" Jiang Nan sneered disdainfully.

Zhang Zhilin's expression froze for a moment.

Knowing that Jiangnan refers to the matter of taking advantage of Aji's loss of his right arm.

For a moment, I couldn't find a word to refute.

"Bring it to you."

Jiang Nan crossed his left hand with his sword, and stretched out his right hand to Zhang Zhilin.

"what?"

Zhang Zhilin didn't know why.

"The scabbard on your back. Anyway, without the sword, it's useless for you to take an empty scabbard. Why don't you give it to me, just make a set." Jiang Nan said solemnly.

"You...don't bully people too much!" Zhang Zhilin was almost pissed off with anger.

I've seen bullies, but I've never seen such bullies.

"Why, you want me to do it?" Jiang Nan stared.

Zhang Zhilin was startled, and took two steps back again.

For a swordsman to practice swordsmanship, the most important thing is the word "concentration".

Many disciples of the sword sect only practice swordsmanship and have nothing else to do except to exercise their bodies.

"The sword is with the man, but the sword is with the man, and the man is dead when the sword is lost." This not only refers to the steadfastness of the swordsman, but also means that after losing the sword, the swordsman's combat power will be reduced by [-]%, and he has no self-protection power.

Zhang Zhilin, who had lost his long sword and suffered a broken right wrist, did not have the confidence to fight Jiangnan who was holding a long sword.

What's more, the unfathomable Aji is still watching.

Zhang Zhilin subconsciously glanced at the three companions.

Martial nephew Li Xuanzhen was like him, he lost his long sword and his right hand, so he could not count on it.The other two apprentices are fine, but it's a pity that their martial arts are not even as good as Li Xuanzhen's.

really.

Seeing Zhang Zhilin looking at him, the expressions of the two intact apprentices froze, and at the same time they retreated instinctively.

It seems to be saying, don't let us go, we are not opponents.

"waste!"

Zhang Zhilin cursed inwardly.

While hesitating, Aji spoke again:
"Since my brother likes your saber, you can keep the scabbard."

Zhang Zhilin's face turned black.

Without saying a word, he unfastened the scabbard on his back, stuck it heavily on the wooden floor, turned his head and squeezed between the two disciples, and went down the stairs without looking back.

The two disciples looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Then Li Xuanzhen naturally did not dare to lag behind.

Jiang Nan pulled out the scabbard, dangling and trying several times before successfully returning the sword to the scabbard.

Then, he also hung the sword on his waist.

One on the left and one on the right, pressing the two swords with both hands, in high spirits.

That appearance, I don't know whether it is majestic or weird.

Aji, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go. Xiaoyi, you support this big man a little bit."

Aji held Jiangnan by the arm, and asked the little girl Xiaoyi, who hadn't been drinking, to support Xiong Er, who was also drunk.

The four of them staggered back to Huang's house, but their trip was safe.

Huang Batian had already received the news and greeted him out of the gate.

It was a middle-aged man with a beard who was taller than the surrounding people by a full head, and the brocade clothes could not hide the sturdy aura on his body.

"Aggie, where's the thing?"

As soon as he saw Aji, Huang Batian asked anxiously.

"Give."

Aji directly took out the Taibai Sword Token and handed it over.

Huang Batian took it over, looked it over, confirmed that it was correct, and was overjoyed: "Good! Good! Well done, Aji, thank you very much."

"Who are these?"

Huang Batian put the Taibai Sword Order into his arms, and then asked the three people in Jiangnan.

Before, when Xiao Yi sneaked into Huang's house, he was disguised as a boy servant, but now that he was wearing female clothes, Huang Batian didn't recognize him.

"A few friends who have helped. They are drunk, and I want them to stay overnight at the house." Aji explained lightly.

"No problem. Since it's Aji's friend, it doesn't matter how long you stay, let alone one night."

Huang Batian waved his hand, and told the housekeeper beside him: "Hurry up, Lao Huang, arrange a good room for these guests."

"Yes."

The housekeeper took orders and was about to take several people from Jiangnan away.

"Wait a minute!"

Huang Silang, who looked like he had a kidney deficiency, suddenly came out from behind the crowd.

"Father, it was this scholar and that big man who rescued the boy who stole the sword order from me before. They must be with the thief. Let them live in my Huang's house, in case they come back What if you stole something?"

Huang Silang obviously didn't recognize Xiao Yi either, and only pointed at Jiang Nan and Xiong Er.

Huang Batian heard the words and turned his attention to Aji.
