Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 3 Sword Fighting at Sunset Peak

The sky was very dark, and black clouds covered the sky like billowing clouds, as if the whole land was dyed with a layer of black and gray.

Flying birds fluttered their wings in fright, hovering in mid-air.

Lightning streaks cut through the pitch-black sky, illuminating the sky and the earth, making the entire land even darker.

In the valley, the mountains are steep, the deep gullies are beautiful, the walls are covered with pines, the clear springs are paved with holes, the hanging paths are dangerous, the white clouds are flying, and the strange rocks are jagged. Divide the taste of desolation and chill.

On the Sunset Peak, Zhaojianzhai stands on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance.A gust of westerly wind blew by, curling up a few strands of black hair and messing up the clothes.

He has devoted his whole life to the way of swordsmanship, and has never slack off. He has practiced swordsmanship for thirty years, and finally became a generation of swordsmen, famous all over the world.

He claims to be unparalleled in swordsmanship, and he didn't know that he was a frog in a well until he fought that man ten years ago.The sense of invincible frustration wiped out all the pride in his heart.

A man in black with a headband stood beside Zhaojianzhai.He held the sword hilt tightly in his hand, his face was sharp and angular, his facial features were cold and hard, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

This person is Guan Zhongxie, a disciple of Zhaojianzhai.

Not long after, I saw a figure coming slowly from the foot of the mountain, steady and steady, neither fast nor slow.

His demeanor is extraordinary, restrained and calm.

"Junior Xiaoyaolang pays respects to senior Zhaojianzhai." The man cupped his hands and saluted.

"Unexpectedly, for today's sword competition, Guanzhong hero Xiaoyaolang traveled thousands of miles to watch the sword. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao Jianzhai said with a smile on his hands on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the mountains in the distance.

Xiaoyaolang replied: "How dare the younger generation miss the sword competition between the two great masters of swordsmanship."

At this time, there was only a burst of wild laughter: "Hahahaha. Old man Jian, he was defeated by his sword back then, but now his kung fu has improved."

I saw a big man with a strong figure and a majestic figure walking towards him.

The man was wearing a large white robe, with some intricate patterns embroidered with gold thread on the hem of the robe, a black iron whip was tied around his waist, and a pair of tiger eyes shone fiercely.

Seeing this person insulting his teacher, Guan Zhongxie was furious, and wanted to make a move, but Zhao Jianzhai secretly stopped him.

Indulging in passion, breeding freely, and acting like beasts are not enough to govern the text; however, there is a reason for holding it, and the reasoning of its words is enough to deceive the foolish people; it is also arrogant.

This person believes that humans are originally beasts, and they should release their nature and return to wildness. Animals have the best way of heaven and earth. Therefore, if people want to return to nature and become one with heaven and earth, they must indulge their lusts and let the weak eat the strong without any scruples.

It is rumored that they usually hide in the mountains and forests, coercing the captured men and women to engage in production and prostitution for them.Xiao Wei Mou is highly skilled in martial arts, can fight lions with bare hands, give birth to tigers and leopards, has a strong sexual desire, and can't sleep peacefully if he doesn't fight against ten females at night.

If it wasn't for the fact that the human rights behind him were all over Qi's government and hidden in the mountains and forests, such a heinous and unforgiving person would have been punished long ago.

Xiaoyao Lang has always been jealous of evil, and he has heard of his immoral behavior for a long time. Today, he was even more indignant when he met him, so he sarcastically said: "Such a beast should not be a human being, so I will kill you, an evil animal, so that the world can get rid of it." Harmful."

Xiao Wei Mou laughed back angrily, and said: "Your grandfather and I are the fierce beasts in the mountains. I have ruled the world for more than [-] years. How could you be able to kill me like a calf!"

As soon as the words fell, his body suddenly rose up, and he jumped to Xiaoyaolang's side.Clenching a fist with his right hand, he slammed into Xiao Wei Mou's chest fiercely, the fist was windy, obviously the power of this punch should not be underestimated.

Xiaoyao Lang snorted coldly, pointed out, and a burst of energy shot directly at Xiao Wei Mou's chest.

Xiao Wei Mou retreated slightly, he clenched a fist with his left hand to meet him, the fists and palms intersected, both of them trembled slightly.

Xiao Wei Mou frowned slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, this person was a bit troublesome.

Xiaoyaolang drew his sword in his hand, and when the edge of the sword turned, another sword gang struck out.

Xiao Wei Mou let out a cold snort, stepped on the stone with both feet, and with the help of a huge counterforce, he rose up from the ground to avoid the oncoming sword gang.

Immediately, a fierce whip kicked towards Xiaoyao Lang, the wind roared, and the dust was rolled up in the sky, the momentum was terrifying, once it was swept, even the steel and iron bones would have to be broken.

Xiaoyao Lang was not in a hurry, the sword in his hand changed, and six sword shadows appeared in an instant. The six swords were one forward and one backward, one left and one right, one attack and one defense, and stab Xiao Wei Mou at the same time.

Xiao Wei Mou saw that Xiaoyao Lang used such a mysterious sword technique, he couldn't help being surprised, but after all, he has been in the arena for many years and has a lot of knowledge, so naturally he is not afraid. Grasping the iron whip, he swung his hand and hit the six sword shadows.

The tail of the whip hit the six sword shadows, and there were only three bang bang bangs, and all the six sword shadows exploded.

"Hmph! How dare you use such a small skill to make it look shameful?" Xiao Wei Mou sneered, and beat Xiaoyao Lang with an iron whip.

Xiaoyao Lang calmly floated past, took a few steps back, avoiding the tail of the whip, and then pointed the tip of his sword obliquely forward, a burst of sword energy burst out from the tip of the sword, facing Xiaowei Mou's whip shadow.

The whip shadow collided with the sword qi, and it exploded immediately, and the air waves scattered.

Zhao Jianzhai saw that the two of them had fought a real battle, and they would inevitably lose both in the fight, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Stop it, today I'm fighting with Cao Qiudao, can I sell some thin noodles?"

Xiao Wei Mou snorted coldly, put away his whip, glanced coldly at Xiaoyao Lang, and said: "Okay, I will let you off once today, if you still dare to offend me, you will be killed."

Xiaoyaolang was furious when he heard that, and wanted to make another move, but saw a noble young man approaching, "I heard that the hero of Guanzhong, Xiaoyaolang, has always spoken out with righteousness, chivalry and courage, and seeing him today is indeed true."

"However, Sword Master Zhao Jianzhai competed with Sword Master Cao Qiudao today, but it was not easy to hurt his peace. Afterwards, it doesn't matter if I kill this beast together with you. These evil thieves are nothing more than dry bones in the grave."

That noble young master looked confident, as if Xiao Wei Mou was dead.

"Hmph! Others are afraid of your status as the son of Wei, but I am not afraid." Xiao Wei Mou said angrily.

"If you add me to wait." Only a soft female voice came.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a beautiful woman dressed in purple, with a slender figure, skin like snow, eyebrows like willow leaves, and eyes like stars, approaching in lotus steps.

Then came a group of farmers headed by Tian Guang.

"Hahaha, what kind of a hero is he who bullies the few with the more!" Xiao Wei Mou shouted loudly.

Tian Guang said coldly: "You are not as good as a beast, you are not qualified to be called a hero, it is an insult to the word hero. Today I did a game with you to see who lives and who dies!"

Xiao Wei Mou knew in his heart that if he faced anyone present alone, he would not dare to say that he would win for sure. If everyone joined forces, he would surely die, but he said stubbornly: "Okay, let's see what strength you guys have. It’s not that I am selling swords today to save face, so why not be afraid if you join forces! I will go!”

After saying that, he jumped up and sprinted down the mountain.

The sky became more and more gloomy, with dark clouds rolling in the sky and strong winds blowing.The rainwater that had been accumulated for a long time finally poured down, and the waterfall like a silver pillar poured down, splashing countless drops of water.

A desolate and murderous air suddenly rose, and a figure appeared first, with white clothes and black hair, aloof and cold, revealing a domineering arrogance that looked down on the world.

Beside him was a young boy who followed him step by step.

Before the raindrops got close to him, they were melted by the internal energy circulating outside his body, and there was no trace of wet rain on the child's body.

Lu Nian knew that Cao Qiudao had done it specially for him, and his heart was full of warmth, but on the other hand, he was amazed by the scene.

"Cao Zi still needs to compete with senior Zhaojianzhai, sir, you can come to this little girl." Ji Yanran raised an oilcloth umbrella and said to Lu Nian.

"When the sword competition is over, I will come and find you." Cao Qiudao sent him to Ji Yanran's side.

Ji Yanran nodded slightly to her, indicating that she would take care of Lu Nian.

Cao Qiudao came to Zhao Jianzhai, and the two faced each other across the air, a depressive atmosphere permeated around them.

Everyone stepped back unconsciously to make room for the two of them.

"Ten years from now, don't let me down too much!" Cao Qiudao said indifferently.

His aura is getting stronger and stronger, like Ling Tian's sword, showing his sharpness.The color of the sky also changed, and thunder and lightning staggered, as if to split the sky and the earth.

Zhao Jianzhai's complexion was serious, and he sighed secretly in his heart, this person is really a monster-level figure, and now he doesn't know where he has come.

Zhao Jianzhai drew out the long sword in his hand, but the hand holding the sword was missing a finger.

The name of the sword is Fuqu, the nature of the sword is high and pure, it is not stained by dust, and on the body of the sword, the sword lines are free, which seems to have spirituality.

As soon as the sword was released, the sound of the sword's cry suddenly resounded, shaking the sky and the earth.

The sword light flashed, and the sword light turned into thousands of sword shadows, cutting towards Cao Qiudao from all directions like raindrops. The sword shadows were like tides, one layer after another.

Cao Qiudao remained unmoved, his body was as motionless as a mountain, but the aura around him became stronger and stronger, and the sword intent became more pure, as if it was about to burst out, eliminating the sword shadows into nothingness.

"Boom!"

Thunder and lightning roared in the sky, like a giant dragon rolling, as if about to fall from the sky.

Seeing this, everyone was horrified, the sword intent matched the heaven and the earth, and the power of the heaven and the earth was used by it.

Zhao Jianzhai's complexion became serious, and the Fu Qu sword suddenly vibrated, and the sword energy surged above the sword body, and strands of sword energy seemed to slash towards the sky again, piercing the sky, cutting with the momentum of tearing the sky apart. Said to Cao Qiu.

Cao Qiudao drew out his sword, it was only one sword, and only one sword was needed, a sword light flashed past, and all the thousands of sword shadows were shattered.

There was only a scream, and Zhao Jianzhai's left arm holding the sword snapped off, and blood gushed out like a spring, filling the air.

Cao Qiudao put the sword back into its sheath, and stood with the sword behind it, like a god, the god of the sword.

Zhao Jianzhai covered the broken arm, blood kept gushing out, his face was already pale, but he clenched his teeth stubbornly, as if unwilling to make a sound.

Seeing this, Guan Zhongxie and Xiaoyaolang immediately stepped forward to help Zhaojianzhai to stop the bleeding and heal his wounds.

Tian Guang looked at Cao Qiudao with a trace of awe in the depths of his eyes.

Cao Qiudao ignored Zhao Jianzhai and walked towards Lu Nian.

"Cao Zi's sword is unparalleled in the world. The little girl thinks she is a master of swordsmanship. Seeing her today, she is worthy of being a master of the generation." Ji Yanran said.

"However, people have to be born, and swords have to be born, so we can live up to this sword." Ji Yanran changed the subject, "Now the six countries are at stake, the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty is powerful, and it wants to annex the countries. The little girl begged Cao Zi to help us, Suppress Tyrant Qin and preserve the world."

"Whether it's seven countries or one country, what does this have to do with me." Cao Qiudao said coldly.

Ji Yanran frowned slightly, "Cao Zi, what is the meaning of this? Don't you know that you are originally from Qi, and if the five kingdoms are destroyed, how can Qi survive alone? Back then, the former hero of the peasant family asked you to kill Tu Baiqi, but you never promised , and now he refuses, but Cao Zi is afraid of the unreasonable tyranny of Qin?"

"Don't provoke me, no one in this world can force me to do what I don't want to do!" Cao Qiudao said coldly, "If what I want to do, no one in the world can stop me, even the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, I If you want to kill him, you can kill him with one blow."

After saying that, he slashed out with a sword, and he was in front of Ji Yanran in an instant.

All the people in the arena were horrified, no one could stop them, and a generation of beauties might be about to disappear.

"Sir, show mercy!" A childish voice sounded, it was Lu Nian.

The incomparable sword's momentum changed accordingly, sheathed the sword, but Ji Yanran's three thousand black hairs were all chopped off, revealing her smooth and clean scalp.

"If Nian'er hadn't pleaded for mercy, I would have taken your life, and now I will cut off your head as a punishment." Cao Qiudao said coldly, and walked down the mountain with Lu Nian.

"Yanran, why do you have to do this?" Lord Xinling looked at Ji Yanran's miserable appearance, and he felt pity in his heart, with a bit of anger in his words, "If something happened to you, how did it happen!"

"My lord, since Yanran dared to do this, she is sure, I know he won't kill me." Ji Yanran said softly, "Besides, with Mr. Cao Nian here, he will speak out to protect me."

"If you really feel pity for Yanran, please don't dislike Yanran's black hair now." Ji Yanran said with a smile.

Lord Xinling was taken aback when he heard the words, and said tenderly, "How could Yanran think so, I really love you."

The battle between the two great sword masters in the world has finally come to an end.
