Chapter 222: Admit defeat
Nanqinghou Mansion is guarded by experts from the Six Realms, which Chu Tang had always expected.
After all, in the city of Qingcheng, if you want to shock the heroes, even the five realms are not enough. Only the masters of the six realms can be considered high-end combat power.
With Wang Haocheng's ability to seek death, if he wanted to protect him, Nanqinghou, in addition to arranging a kind of bodyguard, must also have a master in charge. Otherwise, the prince of Nanqinghou, who had provoked public anger, would not know when he was beaten. .
When he saw Commander Pei Nu following Wang Haochen today, acting like a personal bodyguard, he guessed that this master of the six realms must be him.
The result was just as he expected. As soon as Pei Nu came up, his energy flowed out for more than three feet, completely demonstrating his cultivation in the Sixth Realm!
However, in the hands of Pei Nu, the Soul-Destroying Sword of Bad Street showed extremely superb skills.
Once, Chu Tang thought that Xu Wei, the head catcher in Shixian County, had been immersed in the Soul-Severing Knife for more than 30 years. He had mastered this sword technique deeply and was considered to be very familiar with it. Practice makes perfect, but he was limited by his limited talent and low cultivation level.
It was only today that I discovered that the soul-severing sword in Pei Nu's hands was the real soul-severing sword technique.
Chu Tang recognized every move, every style, but after using it consecutively, he could always innovate and bring out new ones. The power was also boundless and dangerous, and he wanted to break people's souls!
Pei Nu held a sword in his hand, and the sword strikes came out one after another. The sword was connected vertically and horizontally, and suddenly there was only the lingering light of the sword in the air, making a roaring sound and coming through the air.
"How many years has this guy been practicing the Soul-Severing Sword?" Chu Tang was surprised.
What he didn't know was that Pei Nu's father was also a member of the public, and he had practiced the thirty-six moves of the Soul-Destroying Sword since he was a child.
Later, by chance, he joined the army and became a soldier under Wang Yang, the Marquis of Nanqing. Because of his bravery in battle and repeated meritorious deeds, he was promoted to a member of the soldiers by Wang Yang.
After joining the ranks of the soldiers, he continued to practice sword skills diligently, and Wang Yang also taught him martial arts from time to time. With a few adventures, Pei Nu grew up and finally became a six-level warrior.
Originally, after becoming a Six Realm warrior, he was enough to become the ancestor of a force, and even in the army, he could become a leading general.
But he was extremely grateful to Wang Yang, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was loyal to Wang Yang wholeheartedly, and he was only willing to follow Wang Yang.
Wang Yang, out of consideration for his son, asked Pei Nu to return to Qingcheng and become the commander of the guards, guarding the entire Hou Mansion.
Over the years, Pei Nu and his bodyguards had defeated countless people who wanted to attack the Hou Mansion.
In these blockades, he rarely showed off his strength. Instead, he cleverly used the characteristics of the guards in the palace, either in formation or in surprise attacks, to achieve his goal.
This also led to his low reputation in Qingcheng and few people mentioned him.
Chu Tang is his only opponent in Qingcheng who has shown his cultivation in front of everyone for so many years.
He also knew Chu Tang's ability. After all, he was famous for his reputation. After taking action, he naturally did not dare to neglect it.
Chu Tang could defeat masters from all six realms of Luoshen Valley. Pei Nu did not dare to underestimate the enemy at all. He rushed to attack and seize the opportunity.
Faced with the familiar yet unfamiliar Soul-Destroying Sword Technique, Chu Tang aroused the desire to see its full picture. He used the magic weapon in his hand as a sword and responded to the enemy with the Quanzhen Sword Technique, which was rarely used recently.
The swordsmanship is clumsy, strict and orderly, but it is a good defensive skill.
However, Pei Nu's cultivation in the Sixth Realm was exhausted, and he couldn't defend himself with Quanzhen swordsmanship alone, so Chu Tang mixed it with the technique of the Great Shift of the Universe.
With one pull, one pull, and one pull, many of Pei Nu's powerful killing moves were sent back the way they came.
Not only the moves, but also the strength in them were transferred at all.
Bang bang bang!
Pei Nu only felt that he was fighting against himself for several times. The force coming back from the sword was all too familiar. It was the internal force he used when using the Soul-Severing Sword Technique.
He finally realized what it was like when his guards were fighting against Chu Tang, and he finally understood why his guards were injured inexplicably, or his own people beat up his own people.
This is a martial art that relies on strength to fight!
No!
It’s much smarter than relying on your own strength!
The amount of force he exerts is the same as the force of his counterattack.
"This martial arts is not afraid of group attacks!" Pei Nu thought more and was glad that he did not follow Wang Haochen's instructions and attract more guards to surround Chu Tang.
Otherwise, in a chaotic battle, with this martial arts that can control chaos, Chu Tang will naturally be invincible, but his men will suffer heavy losses.
Pei Nu became more and more anxious when he saw that Chu Tang was tied with him with only an ordinary swordsmanship that was only considered to be well organized.
He knew that Chu Tang still had many unique tricks that he had not yet used.
The famous sword-drawing technique!
And the famous flying fairy from heaven!
None of them have the ability to kill masters.
Once Chu Tang uses these tricks, can he resist it?
Pei Nu has no confidence!
Xu Lingfeng, who had already realized the potential, still lost to Chu Tang. How could he, an ordinary six-level warrior, catch the flying immortal from outside the sky?
"Eh...wait a minute!" Thinking of Xu Lingfeng, Pei Nu thought of Chu Tang's rumored situation after the duel with him. "This guy said that overdrafting his body has unleashed its potential, and the sequelae are not small. It's only been less than half a month. He's definitely not fully recovered..."
Yes, Chu Tang should still be injured. Otherwise, he would have used his special skills to kill everyone. How could he deal with him like this?
Pei Nu thought he had found Chu Tang's weakness, and his confidence immediately increased. He continued to attack with the sword in his hand, and laughed loudly: "Boss Chu, why don't you let Pei see your clever moves, the sword drawing technique or the flying immortal city outside the sky?" become!"
He wanted to use provoking methods to lure Chu Tang to use these killing moves that required overdraft of the body.
Chu Tang was unmoved and still used Quanzhen swordsmanship to deal with the Great Shift of the Universe. He gently twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "What is Commander Pei so anxious about? When it is time to use it, Chu will naturally use it. I just hope that Commander Pei can parry it." Stay there, lest you lose your life."
Pei Nu still laughed and said, "You can't do it, right?"
"Commander Pei, you can give it a try." Chu Tang chuckled, and he had already seen Pei Nu's intention.
But he was not in a hurry and was still enjoying himself.
In terms of the durability of internal strength, who dares to compare with him?
Not to mention the Ming Yu Gong, which can use the opponent's internal strength to make up for one's own internal strength, thus making the internal strength endless and almost no consumption, even the Wedding Clothes Divine Art, which integrates the internal strength with the body and is best at long-term fighting, is enough for him to fight for a long time. Not tired for several hours.
Even though he had only recovered about 80% of his power, he could still deal with Pei Nu for a long time even though he didn't use any special moves that consume his mental power, such as drawing swords.
Pei Nu wanted to consume his inner strength, so why didn't he want to use the same method to tire him out?
The Soul-Severing Sword is unparalleled in its power, but its moves are wide open and close, the movement range is huge, the consumption is intense, and it is more difficult to last.
Sure enough, after fighting for a while, Pei Nu used the thirty-six moves of the Soul-Severing Sword back and forth twice. Sometimes he used too many moves and had to mix in some other military sword skills. In order not to let Chu Tang When there was a chance to counterattack, he continued to attack. With continuous exertion, his internal strength gradually depleted a lot, and even his breathing became faster.
Looking at Chu Tang again, he looked like he was strolling in front of the court. He was doing every move, blocking or stabbing, and easily blocked Pei Nu's attacks. He didn't look anxious at all, and he didn't show any signs of decline.
"This guy's internal strength..." Pei Nu finally noticed Chu Tang's different situation.
Chu Tang's internal energy is longer and deeper than his!
He felt extremely unbelievable: "I am in the sixth realm and he is only in the fifth realm. How could he..."
But there are many things in the world that cannot be calculated by common sense, and there is no shortage of typical examples of the weak defeating the strong in the world.
Pei Nu knew that he had met a martial arts monster.
"No wonder even the dignified disciples of Luoshen Valley are no match, then I..." Pei Nu wanted to retreat.
With his thoughts in mind, his sword skills showed sluggishness and his offensive became stagnant.
Seeing this, Chu Tang immediately used Lingbo Micro Steps to bully him, using Quanzhen Sword Technique and Blood Sword Technique, greeting Pei Nu from both sides.
For a time, sword gangs and sword lights were criss-crossing, extremely dangerous.
"What kind of sword technique is this?" Pei Nu, who was originally accustomed to Chu Tang's sword technique, felt that his sword moves were strange, spicy and vicious, and they could often attack from unexpected angles.
"Is this the famous divine weapon Yitian? Can he use a sword or a sword?" Pei Nu smiled bitterly.
These days, the most famous person in the Qingcheng martial arts world must be Chu Tang.
Correspondingly, his martial arts and his magical weapons were also spread by the outside world.
When he heard that Chu Tang had a magical weapon that could be used as a sword or a sword wielder, Pei Nu was still wondering what the weapon looked like and how to use it.
Today, he finally saw it and learned it.
The series of strange weapons and martial arts displayed by Chu Tang really opened Pei Nu's eyes and made him helpless.
There are actually people who can use a weapon to switch freely between swordsmanship and knife skills without any sense of disobedience!
How to deal with such an opponent?
"Xu Lingfeng didn't lose unjustly!" Pei Nu sighed with emotion, but now that he was the one to take over, he felt helpless.
Ling Bo made a subtle move to entangle him, using the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the Blood Sword Technique as moves, as well as the Great Shift of the Universe as techniques. He unleashed a series of unique skills, and Chu Tang really attacked like a tiger, beating Pei Nu back again and again.
However, Pei Nu reversed the situation of attacking and now could only parry.
No one could see how embarrassed Pei Nu was in resisting. After all, it is difficult to understand the magic of the great shift of the universe without personal experience.
In the eyes of those watching the battle, Pei Nu, who had clearly beaten Chu Tang to the point where he could only defend himself, suddenly retreated inexplicably, showing signs of decline, and was about to be defeated.
"Isn't this guy just letting off steam?"
"Is this guy planning to trick Chu Tang and win him by surprise?"
Many people began to speculate on Pei Nu's intentions.
However, no one could have guessed the result——
Pei Nu, who originally saw the long knife slashing his chest on the right side, narrowly avoided the sudden slashing of the long knife on the left side of his neck, broke into a cold sweat, immediately connected his feet, and jumped back nearly ten feet away. distance.
"Stop!" Seeing that Chu Tang was still trying to rush forward, Pei Nu immediately shouted and called out Chu Tang's figure.
Chu Tang stopped and looked at Pei Nu doubtfully.
Like him, the onlookers also looked at Pei Nu.
Among them were the crown prince Wang Haochen and his men, including the guests watching the battle from behind.
Pei Nu's face turned green and white for a while. He finally gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and said to Chu Tang: "Team leader Chu, Pei has given up in this battle. Let's go!"
"What?" Chu Tang was stunned. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
The winner has not yet been decided, the result is not yet obvious, and the opponent has given up halfway?
So what did the two people do before?
Fighting loneliness? !
Not only Chu Tang was dumbfounded, but everyone in the Hou Mansion was also obviously surprised. Some of the guards almost couldn't stand, holding on to their waists and swaying so much that their commander almost jumped up to their waists.
"Pei Nu!" Wang Haochen went crazy after reacting, his face turned red, he felt dizzy, and he almost fainted from anger.
He has never seen such a cowardly Pei Nu!
It has completely disgraced their Nanqinghou Mansion!
The dignified commander of the guards of the Marquis Mansion, when others came to slap him in the face, he just tried swordsmanship for a while, and he didn't even see a wound, so he just gave up?
If word of this spreads out, how can Nanqinghou Mansion still hang out in Qingcheng?
"Pei Nu! Kill them! If you can't, let everyone come together! Come on, what are you waiting for! Isn't it embarrassing enough?!" Wang Haochen roared again and again, and finally shouted at the surrounding guards. .
When the guards heard this, they looked at each other. Some were embarrassed, while others involuntarily moved towards Chu Tang.
"Everyone, get back!" Pei angrily scolded the guards to get back.
Seeing the guards actually retreating after Pei Nu's order, Wang Haochen was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at Pei Nu and shouted: "Pei San, you are going to rebel! Rebel! Rebel!"
Pei Nu took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis asked me to command the guards and protect the safety of the Hou Mansion. I should make the decision on all external matters. Today, I said to let them go. Unless the Marquis comes to object in person, who will You can’t disobey the order!”
"You..." Wang Haochen didn't expect Pei Nu to dare to refute him.
Pei Nu ignored him and turned to Chu Tang and said, "Boss Chu, Pei admits his defeat today. You can go! But today's matter will never be forgotten. You wish for your own good and take care of yourself!"
Chu Tang took a deep look at him, nodded with a smile, and then without saying a word, turned around and walked to Chang Xiaoming, pulling him away.
Under dozens of pairs of complicated eyes, the figures of Chu and Tang gradually disappeared into the distance.
Today, Chu Tang really left Nanqinghou Mansion with his people safe and sound!
All the guards were silent, looking at the angry Crown Prince and then at the solemn-looking commander, feeling in a dilemma.
Under the different gazes of everyone, Pei Nu walked up to the guests again and said: "Everyone, something like this happened in our Marquis' Mansion today. Please forgive me for the poor reception. There are still things to deal with in the Marquis' Mansion, so I won't I’ll leave you all alone.”
He is issuing an eviction order.
In fact, even without his order, the guests were all restless, fearing that the disgraced prince of the Hou family would torment them, so they wanted to leave a long time ago.
Pei Nu's words made them leave quickly as if they were granted amnesty.
Soon, they were the only ones left in the backyard of the Hou Mansion.
Wang Haochen became less angry and calmer, and asked Pei Nu: "Pei San, this prince needs a reasonable explanation."
Pei Nu looked at Wang Haochen's questioning eyes, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the thing is very simple, that is, I am no match for Chu Tang."
"Then let's all come together!" Wang Haochen said reluctantly.
Pei Nu shook his head: "His martial arts skills mean he is not afraid of group battles. Not to mention the dozens of us, if there are more, it won't be enough to kill him, and it will only increase casualties."
"As a bodyguard of the Hou Mansion, are you afraid of death?" Wang Haochen's words became more and more unpleasant.
Pei Nu was expressionless and said in a deep voice: "The biggest mission of Pei and the guards is to protect the safety of the prince and protect everything in the Hou Mansion. If Pei is injured and the guards suffer heavy casualties, who will protect the prince and the princes?" Mansion? The Marquis is too far away from Qingcheng and beyond our reach. We, the guards of the Marquis Mansion, must not make unnecessary sacrifices!"
The guards suddenly realized that their leader had such long-term thinking.
Wang Haochen also fell silent.
After a long while, Wang Haochen still said unwillingly: "Let Chu Tang go in vain? And the actor next to him... we can't keep him!"
Pei Nu's eyes flashed and he said: "The terrain this time is narrow and there are too many obstacles, so the advantages of the guard formation cannot be used. In fact, as long as he finds an open space, hundreds of guards surround it, and fire their bows and crossbows, no matter how good his Qinggong is, He will never survive!"
"Then find an opportunity to kill them!" Wang Haochen said firmly.
Pei Nu Youyou said: "Actually, we can start preparations now."
"Huh?" Wang Haochen was confused.
Pei Nu said: "He has offended our Hou Mansion and brought the actor with him. He does not dare to stay anywhere in Qingcheng. He should leave the city soon. And outside the city, there are also forces from our Hou Mansion!"
Wang Haocheng became excited when he heard this and said: "Then go and organize it!"
Pei yelled at Nuo angrily, and after instructing the guards to be vigilant and guard him well, he also left the Hou Mansion and followed Chu Tang's footsteps.
