Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 193 Alan Tuo vs Kong Chan
Although there were many twists and turns along the way, the team still arrived at Dingjun Mountain.

News also came along the way that Tang Jiayao of the Tianshan Sect and seven innate swordsmen of the Tianshan Sect had all died in accidents. The explanation from Beiyan was not very official - the one who did it was the Wolf King, not someone from the Beiyan Royal Court, but the leader of the horse bandits, and the person the Beiyan Royal Court wanted to kill with a huge reward. If Dalang had any news about this, the Beiyan Royal Court was willing to join forces to fight him.

Well, the Northern Yan royal court did not protest against the killing spree of the Sixth Old Man of Songyang.

It is obvious that the Sixth Uncle is more professional. He killed the Jade Buddha Hasgerel without leaving any evidence, so the Northern Yan Royal Court could not blame him.

In preparation for this competition, Dalang dispatched an army of 3,000 men to Dingjun Mountain and placed them at Kong Chan's disposal, even giving Sun Yanwan the power to control the army.

Kong Chan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so Sun Yanwan could only hold his nose and command the army to camp at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.

Originally, the military generals of the army were dissatisfied with civil servants like Sun Yanwan, but when the two sides discussed setting up camp, Sun Yanwan put forward many "insightful ideas", which made the military general admire him greatly. Sun Yanwan also learned a lot of ancient military knowledge from this military general.

A few days later, a group of fierce cavalry from Northern Yan appeared in the distance and set up camp near the water. Both sides sent out messengers to communicate constantly and were busy with paperwork.

As the deputy envoy, Sun Yanwan was extremely busy, which even affected his cultivation, making him very unhappy.

This time, Sun Yanwan was sorting through paperwork when he heard a commotion in the camp and rushed out to investigate. His camp had over ten towers offering distant views. Climbing a tower, he saw hundreds of cavalrymen surrounding a single individual. The man, shirtless, wielded a longsword, moving swiftly and decisively, each strike killing one or two men. Even surrounded by hundreds of cavalrymen, he remained unfazed.

Sun Yanwanyun focused his gaze and exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Hai?"

The person being chased by the cavalry was none other than Zhang Hai, who was born in Youjian Villa but loved to rebel and called himself Chongtian Wang.

Sun Yanwan immediately descended from the tower, changed his horse, carried a bow and arrow, and rode out of the camp alone.

He drew his bow and arrow from a distance and shouted, "The Dalang military camp is ahead. Please dismount immediately and surrender. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

Sun Yanwan also knew that these empty words were nonsense. He trembled the longbow in his hand and fired arrows continuously, shooting down seven or eight riders.

He has been practicing archery hard in the army recently. With his internal and external skills, he has achieved certain accomplishments. His archery skills have improved rapidly. The hard bow he uses has a very long range, so he is not afraid of the counterattack of this cavalry.

Although a few sparse feather arrows were soon scattered, they were not powerful enough and fell midway, unable to hurt Sun Yanwan at all.

Sun Yanwan's ten fingers on both hands moved at an incredibly fast speed, like a magician. Every time an arrow was shot, a man would fall off his horse. The cavalry chasing Zhang Hai was slightly confused, gave him a long laugh, dodged a horse, and rushed towards Sun Yanwan.

Although this small group of cavalry fired arrows indiscriminately, they did not continue to pursue. Sun Yanwan had already given the order before leaving the camp, but it took time to prepare before the troops were dispatched. At this time, the supporting troops had already rushed up, and the cavalry knew that they had no chance. After shooting a few arrows, they let go of their horses and fled to the southwest.

Zhang Hai rushed to Sun Yanwan and fell to the ground. The horse he had robbed was already wailing incessantly. It had seventeen or eighteen arrows stuck in its body and slowly fell to the ground.

Zhang Hai said with a smile, "Brother Sun, could you give me a respectful burial for this horse?"

As soon as Sun Yanwan gave the order, someone immediately pulled the horse away and buried it in a place nearby.

Because Zhang Hai looked like a woman, he often liked to go shirtless, revealing his muscular body and snow-white skin. However, he didn't look as heroic as a man, but instead had a kind of bewitching beauty. Although he knew that this person was a man, Sun Yanwan still found it strange. He brought Zhang Hai into the military camp, only to see the heir of Youjian Villa unfasten a cloth bag from his waist, throw it on the ground, and say with a smile, "The Northern Yan Cang Wolf King is quite difficult to kill."

"I fought him three times. The first two times, he had helpers, so I suffered some minor losses. The third time, I finally got the chance and chopped off his stinky head."

"I'll give this to you, Brother Sun, as a reward for saving me just now!"

This head is worth a lot of military merit. Even in Dalang, becoming a general or a prime minister is a goal pursued by scholars. The head of this master of Beiyan is the murderer who killed the people of Tianshan Sect. It is enough to allow Sun Yanwan to save time and enter the central position earlier.

Sun Yanwan was silent for a long time, then said, "Let's get a living Princess of Northern Yan next time."

Zhang Hai couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "You can't eat it again."

Sun Yanwan sighed deeply. He really couldn't eat it. If he could, he would eat Aunt Shi first, then Little Butterfly and Little Nanmeng, leaving it for everyone to play drinking games...

Sun Yanwan brought Zhang Hai to see Kongchan. Monk Kongchan was very happy. Although he had selected backup candidates in advance, the martial arts of the backup candidates were inferior. After all, people like Shi Si, Zhang Qingxi, Tao Xuanzhang, and Zhang Hai, let alone Dalang, there are not many in Beiyan and Nanxia. How can they be replaced at any time?
The stars fly and the sun moves, the moon moves and the year comes. Soon it is the day agreed upon by Dalang and Beiyan. According to the rules, both sides brought small groups of soldiers and their own masters and climbed Dingjun Mountain from different directions.

Arriving at Dingjun Mountain, on a stone platform that had been cleared long ago, Sun Yanwan saw for the first time the newly promoted Grand Master of Northern Yan, Master Alanta.

This genius of Longzang Temple, the current master, is tall and sturdy, but he does not give people a reckless feeling. Instead, he has a gentle and wise temperament.

Master Alandra was only wearing an ordinary monk's robe, which was not luxurious. He greeted Kongchan with a smile from a distance.

Monk Kongchan is the youngest grandmaster in the world, and he was even promoted to grandmaster several years earlier than Zhang Yuanqiao. Almost everyone believes that sooner or later he will reach the pinnacle of martial arts like his senior brother Daku.

Kong Chan also looked at the newly promoted grandmaster from afar.

Originally, there were three supreme masters and five great grandmasters in the world.

After Yang Wuji was promoted to the top and Alanta was promoted to the grandmaster, there were four top masters, but still five grandmasters.

Well, maybe the ancestors are no longer around, so the three best are still there.

Monk Kongchan really wanted to gauge the weight of the grand master of Longzang Temple.

Alandra had honed his cultivation of the Ten Powers of the Tathagata and was also proficient in the mystical arts of the spirits. He immediately sensed Kongchan's fighting spirit. He smiled faintly and shouted, "Such a beautiful occasion, and a clash of fortunes. Master Kongchan, why don't you fight me and share the Way of Heaven together?"

"Perhaps with a little bit of luck, I can get a better view."

No matter whether it was Dalang or Beiyan, all the warriors were horrified. No one expected that the two grandmasters would face off before the battle for the tripod even started.
