Chapter 373 Sword Competition
"Please come in." A cold voice suddenly sounded.
The shock caused Zou Fang's blood to surge, her face turned red, and she was already slightly injured.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
This attitude is not very friendly. It seems that communication is not that easy and some means are needed.
I don’t know if this is intentional, or is it true that you are dissatisfied in your heart?
This is done on purpose to appear normal.
If someone is assassinated in Da Jing, he will naturally be dissatisfied with Da Jing's protection and take his anger out on him.
There may not be any dissatisfaction in my heart.
He cupped his fists and said, "Sorry."
Gao Jiuqu was dressed in a dark green robe, elegant and graceful. He clasped his fists from a distance and said, "The prince is coming, but you are welcome from afar!"
The guards took two steps back to get out of the way.
Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and smiled: "Brother Gao, how is your highness?"
Gao Jiuqu clasped his fists toward the sky, then clasped his fists toward Dazhen in the distance, and solemnly said: "With the protection of God and the Emperor, your Highness is fortunately unharmed."
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
I thanked God and also thanked Emperor Dazhen, but I didn’t say anything about Dajing.
This was obviously an allusion to Da Jing's lack of security.
Chu Zhiyuan pretended not to hear what was said, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Can I visit Your Highness?"
"This..." Gao Jiuqu looked embarrassed: "My lord, please forgive me, your highness is emotionally unstable and just fell asleep. It's really..."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Well then, I am waiting for His Highness here, and I must greet His Highness in person, otherwise it will be too rude."
No matter what, he was assassinated in Dajing. As the Zuo Shilang of Dajing, how could he be unapologetic?
Taking the initiative to wait here is a way to express your apology.
Gaojiu Channel: "How about if His Highness wakes up, I can find someone to report to the Crown Prince?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "There is no need to go to such trouble, just stay and wait for His Highness to wake up... Brother Gao doesn't want to learn swordsmanship, is he still in the mood to do so now?"
"Your Highness is fine. He will survive the disaster. I feel relieved... Then I will learn the prince's sword skills."
"I'm just trying to learn Wentian Ya's sword skills." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Gao Jiuqu led the way, and Chu Zhiyuan followed. The two soon arrived at the internal martial arts training ground of Dazhen Hall.
More than thirty guards and attendants rushed over and formed a circle.
Chu Zhiyuan took off the Mingyue Sword.
Zou Fang stepped forward to take it and stepped aside.
Chu Zhiyuan pulled out the Qingying Sword and said with a smile: "As for swordsmanship, I have dabbled in a lot, and it is complicated and impure. Brother Gao is practicing the Wentian Sword Art, right?"
The Qingying sword looks like a stream of autumn water in the sun, clear and pure.
"It's the Wentian Sword Jue." Gao Jiuqu said solemnly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Specialize in one discipline, I admire you. I can't stand the boring practice of practicing only one discipline. I am restless and uncontrollable. I admire Brother Gao who is so dedicated."
Gao Jiuqu smiled: "Your Majesty, please——!"
"Chi!"
Chu Zhiyuan thrust out his sword, light and agile.
The people watching the excitement around them felt a flying rainbow hanging in the sky, and indescribable beauty came to their hearts.
While Gao Jiuqu dodged sideways, he stabbed out a sword, which came first and hit Chu Zhiyuan directly in the heart.
Chu Zhiyuan twisted his waist and walked diagonally, leaning forward with the tip of the sword close to Gao Jiuqu.
Gao Jiuqu backed up and leaned up to avoid the sword light drawn by Chu Zhiyuan.
The sharp sword tip passed by the tip of his nose, only a palm thick away.
The cold air on the sword seemed to have seeped into his pores, making his whole body tense.
Chu Zhiyuan was obviously merciful and did not activate the sword. He purely used his sword skills.
Otherwise, this blow would have cut off the tip of his nose.
Chu Zhiyuan continued to twist his steps forward, shrinking down to avoid Gao Jiuqu's sweeping sword when he leaned back, and got closer to Gao Jiuqu.
Gao Jiuqu kept moving back, sweeping or slanting.
Chu Zhiyuan continued to press forward, pressing forward step by step, and the sword light was almost all upward. Everyone around them noticed the wonderful taste.
Chu Zhiyuan only used one move - raising his sword.
Almost every step uses the same step, and every move is to lift the sword.
But Gao Jiuqu was forced to dodge constantly and use different moves to dodge.
Chu Zhiyuan said before that he practiced in a complex way, while Gao Jiuqu practiced in a pure way, but the situation was exactly the other way around.
This has to be said to be a huge contrast, which makes everyone wonder if someone has been replaced and the two have been swapped.
It was suspected that it was Gao Jiuqu who used the sword, and it was Chu Zhiyuan who kept dodging.
What everyone saw was Chu Zhiyuan's constant pressing and flirting, forcing Gao Jiuqu to continuously retreat and dodge.
It seemed that Chu Zhiyuan had the first mover advantage and seized the opportunity, which overwhelmed Gao Jiuqu and left him breathless.
But Chu Zhiyuan understood how powerful Gao Jiuqu was. He also used the Wentian Sword Technique, but Gao Jiuqu's was completely different from Cheng Tianfeng's.
Hardly the same swordsmanship.
Gao Jiuqu seemed to be able to predict the direction of sword strikes in advance and dodge them in advance.
The Sword Art of Asking the Sky seems to be able to really ask the sky, seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and it has already survived twenty-four moves.
Anyone else would have been hit by the sword long ago.
The twenty-four swords he picked up seemed to be the same sword, but in fact they were combined with several sets of sword techniques.
A simple formula contains subtlety, and it is astonishingly powerful when it turns the complex into simplicity.
"Ding..." The jade pendant on Gao Jiuqu's waist suddenly flew up and turned into two petals in the air.
Chu Zhiyuan put away his sword and stood up, smiling and said: "I accept!"
Gao Jiuqu stretched out his hand to take the two fallen jade pendants, and solemnly clasped his fists: "Good swordsmanship!"
"I have seen the Wentian Sword Jue from Brother Cheng. Brother Gao's Wentian Sword Jue is so mysterious. Is it because Brother Gao has practiced the Wentian Ji Jue?"
"Yes." Gao Jiuqu admitted frankly and said with a smile: "The combination of Wentian Ji Jue and Wentian Sword Jue can greatly enhance the power of Wentian Ji Jue, but it is still not as good as the swordsmanship of the prince."
"I also played a trick and got the upper hand. If you, Brother Gao, took the upper hand, the result would be different... How about doing it again?"
"This..."
Gao Jiuqu felt that it was just what he wanted, but he felt embarrassed at the same time.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "We compete mainly, winning or losing doesn't matter, please——!"
"My dear prince, I admire you for your big heart!" Gao Jiuqu was sincerely convinced.
Before he came to Dajing, what he heard from Cheng Tianfeng was that Chu Zhiyuan was arrogant, wanton, vicious, and extremely vicious.
But the Chu Zhiyuan who saw him with his own eyes was cheerful, open-minded, friendly and peaceful.
It was completely different from what Cheng Tianfeng said.
Obviously, Cheng Tianfeng was exaggerating and hated Chu Zhiyuan because he was defeated by Chu Zhiyuan.
Those who are used to being arrogant will inevitably become so extreme.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "The Wentian Sword Technique I saw from Brother Cheng is already extremely exquisite. Brother Gao, you add the Wentian Ji Technique, and it is even more wonderful. It is indeed a rare sword technique in the world. It is enough to see it once." Inexplicable enjoyment.”
Gao Jiuqu smiled: "Please——!"
"Brother Gao, let's make the move first." Chu Zhiyuan raised the Qingying Sword and said solemnly.
Gao Jiuqu stopped being polite, and with strange steps, he flashed behind Chu Zhiyuan and stabbed him with his sword.
Chu Zhiyuan seemed to have eyes behind him, the tip of his sword was barbed, and his body receded diagonally.
While just avoiding Gao Jiuqu's sword, the tip of the sword had already pierced Gao Jiuqu's eyebrows, forcing Gao Jiuqu to change his moves.
Then, Chu Zhiyuan retreated and stabbed, leaving Gao Jiuqu to dodge.
After stabbing and dodging, and after more than twenty strikes, Chu Zhiyuan stabbed Gao Jiuqu on the shoulder, ripping his clothes but not touching his skin.
The two stopped their swords.
Gao Jiuqu stood there, lost in thought.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile, and clasped his fists at the beautiful middle-aged woman who floated out: "Best wishes, sir."
"Your Highness invites you." Zhu Caifu said calmly.
