The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 173 Invitation
Not far from the restaurant where Zhao Chen lives, there is a small garden named Moon Garden.

On weekdays, it is used for entertainment by Dunhuang residents, but it is also often rented out as a place for monks to compete.

Even the battle between the new captain and the "Iron General" Lu Qi a few days later will be held here.

In the moon garden, there are lotus ponds, rockery, and winding corridors. Now it is empty, and it is reserved for Zhao Chen and Zhen Fan who are about to fight here.

At this time, all the private rooms in the restaurants around the garden were booked, and they were filled with people from the local Jianghu forces in Dunhuang.

The best-selling ice spring wine yesterday made many people think about it, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to weigh Zhao Chen's "weight".

Although I heard that Zhao Chen has the "Hongxia Sword" behind him, if they insist on using the "rules of the rivers and lakes" to solve the problem, even Yan Hongxia will be helpless.

As for the casual people and idlers who just watched the excitement, they either squeezed to the side of the corridor, or performed light kung fu, and climbed to the treetops on the roof, which was very lively.

The "Seven Heroes of Monan" who were pulled over by Gong Yun on the spur of the moment naturally didn't book a private room in advance, but in their identities, the restaurant owner didn't dare to neglect, and quickly gave up their own room.

"Fifth Sister, why do you want to watch the martial arts competition of Aperture Refinement cultivators?" Feng Wan asked puzzled after taking a sip of tea.

"My younger sister Gong Fei is very interested in that little guy named Zhao Chen, so I want to take this opportunity to spy on his reality...and looking at low-level martial arts competitions can also help us regain confidence, can't it?" Gong Yun After replying a few words with a smile, he turned to ask, "Who do you think can win?"

"I'm not familiar with 'Blood Sword Lord' Zhao Chen, so I can't comment on it, but 'Youlong Gunshi' Zhen Fan is the son of the master Zhen of Qingyun Tower, and his family's "Lonely Duck Luoxia Gong" is also quite good. The Four Apertures cultivator is considered a good player...so I bet Zhen Fan will win." Lu Zhen analyzed seriously.

Qingyun Tower is a local force in Dunhuang, one of the official gathering places recognized by the government, and the organizer of various large-scale auctions.

The owner of Zhen's name is Zhen Wei, and his magic power is nine turns. Although he is not included in the "Yumen Outstanding Person List" because of his advanced age, his strength is not weaker than the original Ma brothers.

"Within thirty moves, Zhao Chen wins." Yan San suddenly said.

"Third brother is very optimistic about this Zhao Chen?" Feng Wan asked in surprise.

You must know that Yan Sanxia will not speak easily, but every time he speaks, he will not be aimless.

"He's very good!" Yan San said seriously.

At this time, the competition between Zhao Chen and Zhen Fan officially started after signing the life and death certificate.

Zhao Chenqing with a sword and a blunderbuss, running the "Water Moon Illusory Body" stepped forward, and landed on the rockery almost as if shrinking to an inch, bringing a lot of surprises.

At the beginning of his time travelling, he met his master in a life-and-death contest, but he didn't expect that the contestant was replaced by himself... The world really is impermanent.

"Young Master Zhen, please go first." Zhao Chen pointed "Sunset Sword" obliquely, and a thin layer of red gauze was immediately reflected on the water surface of the lotus pond, which was really beautiful.

Zhen Fan looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed as a scholar, and the weapon in his hand is a "Dragon Sword Gun".

The so-called "Yulongjian Gun" means that the gun barrel is hidden under the blade of Youlongjian, which can be used to pull the trigger and fire bullets at the critical moment of sword fighting, making it hard to guard against.

The only downside is that the magazine capacity of this weapon is very small, usually only two or three rounds.

Looking at Zhao Chen who was standing on the rockery looking down at him, Zhen Fan instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, but he still held his sword and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Before the words were finished, the Youlong Sword had arrived, and even touched several vital points on Zhao Chen's body, which changed indefinitely, making it difficult to judge whether it was true or not. .

He actually used a strong move as soon as he got started, without any temptation.

"That's right." Standing in front of the window, Lu Zhen nodded lightly. Zhen Fan was keenly aware of the oppression of the other party, so he resisted with the momentum that came with the strong move.

"It's useless..." Yan San shook his head lightly.

Facing this sword, Zhao Chen didn't dodge it, a red light suddenly appeared on the "Sunset Sword", as if the red sun hanging down from the west melted into the body of the sword.

He also directly used the ultimate move "The setting sun is like blood" in "Chuyang Shenjian Sword Manual", and he had to use the ultimate move to counter the ultimate move.

This sword is the under-the-box stunt of "Chuyang Divine Sword" Liang Sheng. Its power is exposed and its appearance is excellent. Even ordinary Jianghu masters can see the mystery, so everyone cheers!
boom!
The two swords collided, and a strong wind overflowed, sweeping around, bringing up dust all over the place.

Although Zhen Fan has opened two more apertures than Zhao Chen, and his sword moves are more intentional than "The Setting Sun is Like Blood", Zhao Chen has already obtained the blessing of the talisman, and his true energy has already been completed. The "Secret Record of Qi Flowing in the Twelve-Story Building of the Golden House and the Jade Room" and "The Secret Art of Immortal Life in the Purple House" written by the true meaning of Taichu are both ancient magical skills, and they are amazing...

So even if Zhao Chen didn't show the changes of "Red Emperor Nourishing Yuan" or "Yellow Emperor's Master", he was still much better than "Lonely Flock Luoxia Gong", and the two sides fought evenly, and neither retreated half a step.

But at this time, Zhen Fan directly pulled the mechanism on the hilt of the sword, arousing the firecracker hidden under the sword body.

Shooting at such close range is the most difficult thing to defend against, especially when the ultimate move has just been launched and the strength and spirit are exhausted.

It was also for this reason that Master Huang lost to the "Yellow Shirt Gunner".

Seeing that he was about to follow in the footsteps of his master, Zhao Chen did not panic, as if committing suicide, allowing the bullet to hit himself between the eyebrows after turning two turns.

However, Zhen Fan, who fired the bullet, did not show any complacency. Instead, his complexion changed drastically, and he was about to move his body and retreat without thinking, but at this moment, a gun barrel was pressed against his temple.

Until then, the "Zhao Chen" who was hit between the eyebrows gradually faded away and disappeared, turning out to be just a phantom.

But the real Zhao Chen came to Zhen Fan's side and rear at some point.

Zhen Fan sighed slightly, and said casually: "Zhen admits defeat."

Lu Zhen, who was watching from a nearby restaurant, shook his head and said, "Then Zhao Chen's soul power is extremely powerful. Zhen Fan's mind has been suppressed from the very beginning, and all choices are under the control of the other party... It's not wrong to lose."

Feng Wan also nodded and said: "This Zhao Chen is good at mental confrontation, and can rely on the power of the soul to use illusion-like methods. If you don't have a good strategy to deal with the enemy, it is better to keep the distance and use the gun fighting technique to win the battle.

"Well, although this duel was short, it was exciting enough. It's not in vain for us to take a look... This Zhao Chen will definitely occupy a place in Yumen Wulin in the future."

As for Gong Yun, her eyes were twinkling with stars, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

In the Moon Garden, Zhen Fan, who had just conceded defeat, didn't feel the slightest bit frustrated. He took out an invitation card from his bosom and said with a smile:
"Qingyun Tower will hold an auction tomorrow night, please 'Blood Sword Lord' must show respect and come here."
