Chapter 213 The aftermath of the war
On the second day after the duel at Guanyue Tower, the shock caused by Chu Tang's victory over the disciples from Luoshen Valley caused a sensation among ordinary people.
If before, only some high-ranking sects were interested in Chu Tang, this time, even the three sects and nine sects and some ordinary people in Qingcheng knew that there was a person like him.
Although Shi Ziqian was also a disciple of Luo Changying, he was only a fifth-level cultivator after all. Killing a person like him by Chu Tang of the fifth-level was not enough to cause a sensation.
But Xu Lingfeng is a real six-level powerhouse.
The weak overcomes the strong and the weak defeats the strong. This has always attracted everyone's attention.
What's more, one is an ordinary policeman, and the other is a high-ranking disciple of the Holy Land. They are naturally contrasting and confrontational.
Chu Tang's victory over Xu Lingfeng had all the key factors for rapid spread.
Early the next morning, there was a lot of discussion about the matter in taverns, inns, Chengguan Wharf, and even places where people ate melons.
"Have you heard? It is said that yesterday a policeman named Chu chopped a disciple of the Holy Land of Martial Arts to pieces!"
"Didn't you say that only one arm was cut off?"
"Not dead? That's so boring!"
"Haha, if you have the guts, why don't you go to the Guanqi Building in our city and try saying this?"
"What happened to Guanqi Building?"
“That’s the foothold of Luoshen Valley, the holy land of martial arts, in Qingcheng!”
"Is that so? Then I have to let my son go to Guanqi Tower to learn from his master. Maybe one day he will worship in Luoshen Valley?"
"The Guanqi Building is a place for ironing!"
"Uh... is that catcher looking for a disciple?"
"Which one?"
"It's the one who killed the disciple of Luoshen Valley!"
"You want your son to become his teacher again?"
"Isn't it possible? He can cut down the disciples of Shengu, so his martial arts skills are even higher! Water flows to lower places, and people go to higher places!"
"It is said that he is now closed behind closed doors and not seeing anyone."
"That... is such a pity!"
These are relatively superficial things spoken by people who don’t know the situation.
On the third day, the situation was reversed again:
"Then Chu Tang is not that powerful! It is said that he used the secret technique of overdrafting his body to burst out his potential, and that's how he hurt Xu Lingfeng."
"Isn't it said that his sword skills are better than those of the Nine Heavens Falling River Sword?"
"That's the Nine Heavens Falling River Sword, do you believe it? Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!"
"Is that secret skill very powerful?"
"It is said that it can defeat opponents by leapfrogging, but there are many side effects after using it. It seems that it will take several months to recover. Xu Lingfeng lost unjustly! He probably didn't expect Chu Tang to have such a skill!"
"Hush! Silence! I heard that people from Guanqi Building have fought with many people these days. Those who mocked Xu Lingfeng were beaten until their noses were black and their eyes were swollen, and even their parents couldn't recognize them."
"Is Guanqilou so domineering?"
"The backer behind me is Luo Shen Valley! Do you think he is impressive or not?"
Many people have learned about the aura of Guanqi Tower.
But ever since it was reported that Chu Tang defeated Xu Lingfeng with secret skills, the trend has turned, and everyone no longer praises him unanimously.
Some people think he is too weak to win, while others think he is deceiving the world and stealing his reputation.
Even the reputation of the swordsman Tianwai Feixian, who was famous before, has dropped a lot.
What's even more paradoxical is that the major forces in Qingcheng have stepped through the gate of Guanqi Building. Many respectable people came to express their condolences to Xu Lingfeng, bringing many precious wound medicines, tonics, elixirs and the like.
Among these people, there are officials from high-ranking families, people from aristocratic families, and even people from famous families.
Whenever these people saw Xu Lingfeng, they all criticized Chu Tang, saying that he did not follow martial ethics, hurt others secretly, and was not a son of man!
It is said that Xu Lingfeng treated these people without pretense and had no desire to take another look. He was still lifeless.
In the end, it was Huang Changfeng who came forward to deal with these people. On the third day, after Xu Lingfeng's injury stabilized, he quickly packed up and took him out of Qingcheng and towards Luoshen Valley.
If you stay in Qingcheng any longer, every time you hear Chu Tang's name, it will hurt Xu Lingfeng again!
If things go on like this, Xu Lingfeng, who is already decadent, might really become like a zombie.
In fact, Huang Changfeng also heard that these people who came to condemn Chu Tang turned around and went to Wutong Academy after leaving Guanqi Building, still bringing gifts, saying they wanted to visit Chu Tang and express their congratulations to him.
What congratulations?
Congratulations on his victory over the disciples from the Holy Land of Martial Arts and making him famous in Liangzhou!
Human nature, haha!
After Xu Lingfeng left Qingcheng, there was indeed less talk about him, but soon everyone had something to talk about Chu Tang:
"Brother, have you heard that Zheng Guan, the chief disciple of the Changhong Sword Sect, came to Qingcheng and said he wanted to have a sword showdown with Chu Tang."
"Zheng Guan? Didn't you say that he went into seclusion and entered the six realms? Why did he escape?"
"It is said that I successfully advanced to the Sixth Realm a few days ago, but in order to consolidate my cultivation, I did not go out, and also missed the duel at Guanyue Tower a few days ago. Now I heard that Chu Tang has a weapon that can defeat the Nine Heavens Luohe Sword. If you are tired of swordsmanship, you have to challenge me."
"Isn't it said that Chu Tang used secret skills and had side effects?"
"Zheng Guan said that we can wait until Chu Tang recovers before setting up a time and place for the sword show."
"Is he crazy? Even Xu Lingfeng, a master of the Sixth Realm, fell into the hands of Chu Tang. Isn't Zheng Guan afraid that Chu Tang will continue to use secret skills to kill him?"
"Zheng Guan, you know."
"I know a thing about birds!"
"Think about his nickname."
"Feihong Mad Sword?"
"The Changhong Sword Sect is famous for its Feihong Sword Technique, and the fact that Zheng Guan can earn the title "Crazy Sword" shows his character. The Feihong Sword Technique is known for its chic and elegant style. It is said that their ancestor was the master of the sword on a moonlit night. , I saw the reflection of an immortal fighting a sword on a lake, and then I realized this set of swordsmanship. The immortal passed down the sword, which is what they have always been proud of."
"Understood! Now that Chu Tang has defeated the Nine Heavens Luohe Sword, which has been known as the best swordsmanship in Liangzhou for many years, with the Flying Immortal from Beyond the World, there is vague talk of the coming of the Immortal Sword. This has offended the Changhong Sword Sect. Zheng I am not convinced and want to challenge him to rectify the reputation of Feihong Sword Technique."
"For people in the world, fame is more important than heaven. It is normal for them to do some incomprehensible things for the sake of fame and fortune."
"So after the duel at Guanyue Tower with Wu Ling, there will be another good show soon?"
"That depends on how Chu Tang responds."
How did Chu Tang respond?
He responded with a hammer!
For several days, he ignored what was going on outside the window and focused only on healing his internal injuries.
To his surprise, the sequelae caused by Tiangang's disintegration of Dafa were more difficult to recover from than before.
Originally, he expected that with the help of the Shenzhao Jing and the Nine Yin Manual Healing Chapter, he would be able to recover half of his skill in three days at most; it would probably not take even ten days to fully recover to his peak state.
However, after three days, he had only recovered 30% of his power!
The Dantian and meridians are still in an empty state, the body is weak, and the energy is greater than the strength.
Chu Tang thought about it and felt that it was probably because the Flying Immortal not only consumed his power, but also his energy and spirit, so that the body and mind could not be coordinated, making recovery more difficult.
As a result, it may not be possible to fully recover without more than half a month of hard work.
"You have to be careful in the future. Never estimate the time it will take for errors to be recovered." Chu Tang secretly became more vigilant.
Although the Tiangang disintegration method is good, it is too dangerous. If you can use it sparingly, don't use it.
After warning himself, he continued to regulate his body with all his strength.
His powerless state really made him feel insecure.
For this reason, Tao Ying, the bodyguard, stayed in the small courtyard for two more days. It was not until the fifth day that Chu Tang recovered half of her skills and had the ability to protect herself, then she moved out of the small courtyard and returned to normal.
In the past five days, what Chu Tang found most difficult was Su Qingyue's behavior.
Perhaps following Tao Ying's arrangements, Su Qingyue, the eldest lady who never touched the spring water, actually took charge of taking care of Chu Tang's daily life!
Whenever the weak Miss Su brought food to Chu Tang, she would gasp for breath after taking only two steps, which made Chu Tang feel guilty.
Especially when Miss Xiaoyou, the maid who had always served Su Qingyue, looked at him with a look of resentment, Chu Tang felt even more upset and didn't even have the courage to take another look.
Chu Tang also told Su Qingyue that she didn't have to worry so much and that other people would be responsible for the trivial matters in daily life.
But Su Qingyue said innocently that this was a task assigned to her by Dean Tao, and she could not violate it, let alone be careless.
Chu Tang was troubled by this. He somewhat understood Tao Ying's intention——
It was just that he began to think that Su Hong's proposal was good and wanted to bring the two of them together.
Chu Tang admitted that Su Qingyue, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, was indeed in her prime. She had the youthfulness of a girl and the charm of an adult woman.
Whether it was family background, appearance, or knowledge, Su Qingyue was impeccable and was the dream lover of many men.
Not to mention anything else, in Wutong Academy alone, there are so many scholars who fall under Su Qingyue's pomegranate skirt!
However, Chu Tang would not think too much about her.
As a person with cheats, in just three years, he has gone from a little transparent person in the first realm to a fifth-level warrior who can kill strong men in the sixth realm. Chu Tang’s heart will not be broken by a little Liangzhou Trapped.
He has his own ambitions!
It is his long-cherished wish to become the number one martial artist and the strongest person in the world who no one can point out. It is also his inner yearning for the freedom of freedom in Kyushu.
Nothing can stop him from pursuing this wish!
It would be okay if Su Qingyue was a person with excellent martial arts qualifications and skills, but she was a weak woman who could not practice martial arts. To others, she was a good match, but to Chu Tang, she was definitely not a good partner. .
When he leaves Liangzhou, will he take a helpless sister Lin on the road who needs protection at all times?
That must be a death-defying rhythm!
Even if he is the best person in the world, he cannot guarantee that he can protect others completely when faced with all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies!
If that happens, it's nothing more than harming others and ourselves.
Let her stay in Liangzhou while he travels to Jiuzhou alone?
Do you really think that everyone in the world is a gentleman?
If his enemy was strong enough and despicable enough to kidnap this woman in Liangzhou and bring her to him, how would he deal with it?
That is also an unsolvable problem!
Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, Chu Tang felt it was better to refuse now.
Faced with Tao Ying's kindness, he could only express his gratitude.
This is also the reason why he has been lukewarm towards Su Qingyue these days.
Especially when Su Qingyue brought her cousin Su Kang to see him yesterday and said that the eldest son Su came to visit him on behalf of the Su family, Chu Tang was even more furious.
Can he meet people in this state?
If the other party has malicious intentions towards him, wouldn't he be extremely dangerous? !
Although Su Kang had a good attitude and spoke nicely in the end, Chu Tang didn't want to communicate too much with him at all and just sent him away with a few words.
From this, he concluded that Su Qingyue was too young and couldn't figure out what was going on, so it was really difficult for him to have a deep friendship with her.
When he regained 50% of his power and could move freely, Chu Tang took advantage of an opportunity to tell Tao Ying about the matter and asked Dean Tao to take back his life and take Su Qingyue back without letting her go. Close to the yard.
Tao Ying heard about this and realized the seriousness of the matter. She smiled bitterly and found a reason to let Su Qingyue do other things and stay away from Chu Tang.
Without Su Qingyue hanging around, Chu Tang could rest assured and take care of his body.
As for the hustle and bustle outside, he didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to it.
When Tao Ying came to see him, he also mentioned that a disciple of the Changhong Sword Sect came to challenge him, and he also gave him some knowledge about the Changhong Sword Sect and their swordsmanship.
Chu Tang only had one sentence: Has that man named Zheng realized that he has gained momentum?
Tao Ying replied that he definitely didn't, he was just a warrior who had just entered the Sixth Realm.
Chu Tang had nothing else to say, so he just responded disdainfully: I'll take care of him when I have time!
Today's Chu Tang is so arrogant!
Even when he was at his weakest, he still had the confidence and courage to despise those ordinary Six Realm warriors.
Not convinced?
Xu Lingfeng's tragic end is a good example!
Seven days later, no matter how stormy it was outside, Chu Tang, who focused on regulating his breath, finally regained his six powers, which calmed his anxious heart a little.
That night.
After meditating for a day, Chu Tang rarely lit candles in the room and read the classics of Wutong Academy to relieve his depression.
After watching in boredom for most of an hour, Chu Tang, who had sharp ears, heard the sound of breaking through the sky outside the house.
The sound is soft and almost inaudible,
But now Chu Tang's spiritual awareness was sharp, and he quickly noticed a few gentle footsteps coming towards him.
"Huh?" Chu Tang felt strange, "Are there another visitor in the dark night?"
This guy is so brave!
In these days, after the Cheng family was destroyed, more rumors spread that the head of the Cheng family, Wei Ye, "visited" Chu Tang, which eventually led to the demise of several groups of the Four Elephant Battle Formations in the family, which led to the genocide.
Everyone in Qingcheng today knows that it is very dangerous to "visit" Chu Tang late at night, especially in Wutong Academy.
In the past few days, Chu Tang was very worried that someone would take advantage of the fact that he was still suffering from the sequelae. When he was weak, another gentleman from Liang Shang came to his door!
After all, he was hurting a master disciple of Fallen God Valley. It is conceivable that someone would take a desperate risk to retaliate against him.
Unfortunately, the revenge he had been waiting for never came, and Tao Ying worked as his bodyguard for a few days in vain.
Unexpectedly, after a few days of calm, he had recovered sixty percent of his power, and then someone came to the door!
"This guy doesn't know how to live or die, right?" Chu Tang sneered in his heart, stepped away slightly, quietly moved to the bed, and picked up his magic weapon Yitian.
He has already made up his mind that if the other party is not his opponent, he will kill him alone.
If he is not the opponent's opponent, then the hero will not suffer the immediate loss. He will immediately use his top Qinggong, run away, and go straight to Tao Ying's residence, which is only a few dozen feet away from here, to seek shelter.
If even Tao Ying is no match - for example, the person coming is a strong person like Luo Changying.
Then I'm sorry!
Our Chu team leader could only run away and escape from Qingcheng as fast as possible.
After doing countless mental preparations, Chu Tang was waiting for the other party to come in. Unexpectedly, after the footsteps came to the door, he suddenly said outside: "Boss Chu, an old friend is here to visit, would it be convenient to meet him?"
The sound is crisp and extremely pleasant.
Chu Tang only felt strange, but also had a faint sense of familiarity.
In addition, what stunned him even more was——
The person coming is a woman!
