Chapter 250 Captain
"Yes, Captain!" The soldiers answered in unison.

"So he is a captain, no wonder he is so honored." Jiang Xuan muttered in his heart, but continued to walk towards the entrance of the canyon.

The captain glanced around and saw Jiang Xuan walking towards the canyon. He gave him a look and stepped aside.

"Sir, please stay." A soldier said to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan ignored it and continued walking towards the canyon.

Although several of the soldiers had been replaced, some of them still knew Jiang Xuan.

In other words, there were soldiers who knew Ling Honghe.

If he shouted like this at this time, he should not be shouting at Jiang Xuan.

"Young master, please stay!" the soldier's shout became louder.

Jiang Xuan still ignored him and continued on his way.

Although he didn't think those people were calling him, as the soldier's shouts became louder and louder, Jiang Xuan began to have doubts in his heart.

"Could it be that it was me who was calling out?"

Just as Jiang Xuan was about to step into the canyon, he was blocked by two long spears.

"Sir, please stay." One of the soldiers holding a spear said to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan's face was filled with disbelief, and his heart was filled with a subtle emotion. After calming down a bit, he said to the soldier, "Are you talking about me?"

"It's you, young master." The soldier holding the halberd said to Jiang Xuan with some guilt.

The reason why he felt guilty was that he knew Jiang Xuan. It was he who had had that conversation with Jiang Xuan before.

In this case, he knew Ling Honghe's identity, but even so, he still stopped Jiang Xuan as if he didn't know him.

Jiang Xuan seemed to have realized something, and all he needed to do next was to verify it a little.

"Oh? Ling is not qualified to enter this canyon?" Jiang Xuan asked seriously to the two spear-wielding soldiers who stopped him.

"Young Master, the City Lord's Mansion has issued an order that only warriors are allowed to pass through this canyon, and non-warriors are prohibited from entering." The soldier holding the halberd clenched the halberd in his hand again.

After hearing what the soldier said, Jiang Xuan had already figured out the current situation.

I'm afraid someone doesn't want him to enter the canyon and is deliberately making things difficult for him.

But it is unlikely that these soldiers would have such a motive.

Especially the soldier holding the spear who was speaking, he obviously recognized Jiang Xuan before, but now he pretended that he did not know this Senior Brother Ling.

Then, things become clearer.

"Oh? In that case, how can Ling prove that he is a warrior?" Jiang Xuan said.

After hearing what Jiang Xuan said, the soldier holding the halberd felt a little embarrassed.

Obviously, although he was forced to stop Jiang Xuan, he had no proper way to stop him.

"We need...we need you to show a little bit of your strength before we can do that." The soldier holding the halberd said with some stammering.

"Okay." Jiang Xuan pulled out the short knife from his waist and placed it in front of the soldier holding the halberd.

The soldier holding the halberd was also startled and trembled a few times.

He knew Ling Honghe's strength. He had already reached the peak level during the Five States Martial Arts Show, making him a true peak warrior. The soldier holding the halberd was only a novice Heavenly Rank warrior. Even an eighth-level high-level warrior, let alone a novice, was no match for a peak warrior.

Jiang Xuan's sword-drawing at this moment truly frightened him. After all, if this peak warrior got angry, given the absolute disparity in strength, no one knew what he would do.

The soldier holding the halberd wanted to retreat at this time, but he couldn't. After all, there was another peak warrior watching him. If he didn't do well, he would face the wrath of another peak heavenly warrior.

"Can you use this dagger to prove it?" Jiang Xuan raised the dagger in his hand and asked the soldier holding the halberd.

The soldier holding the halberd swallowed and nodded to Jiang Xuan.

Holding the dagger in one hand, Jiang Xuan casually performed a few ordinary moves, and then put the dagger back into the brown scabbard.

The soldier holding the halberd turned his head to look to the side, then turned back and said, "These simple few moves still can't prove it."

The soldier's words were within Jiang Xuan's expectations. In fact, Jiang Xuan deliberately made a few perfunctory moves just to make the soldier say this.

"Yes, Ling also feels that the few moves and postures in this dance cannot prove anything."

"How strong are you as a warrior?" Jiang Xuan asked, pointing at the soldier holding the spear.

"Heavenly level, the initial stage of Heavenly level." The soldier holding the halberd said subconsciously.

"Isn't it just perfect? ​​Let's have a fight. If I can beat you, it means that Ling's strength is not inferior to that of a Heavenly Rank Warrior. It also means that Ling is qualified to enter this canyon, isn't it?"

The soldier holding the halberd was stunned for a moment, and glanced into the distance with the corner of his eyes, still nodding at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan was secretly happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He slightly adjusted the two long spears in front of him, turned around and walked back.

Stopping at a relatively wide area near the entrance of the canyon, Jiang Xuan said to the soldier holding the halberd, "Let's stop here."

The soldier holding the halberd handed the halberd in his hand to another soldier, then took his long sword from the soldier's hand and stood tremblingly opposite Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan put the dagger in his hand against his back and looked at the soldier not far away.

"Knife-hiding style?" A soldier not far away said in surprise.

"What? Is this strange? This is Senior Brother Ling... This is the move that Senior Brother Chi Yunfeng first used at the Five States Martial Arts Competition, and it was learned by another warrior."

Another soldier explained.

Jiang Xuan also heard these words. Jiang Xuan believed that the other peak warrior who was a little further away should have heard them as well.

Jiang Xuan looked at the soldier not far away. Seeing Jiang Xuan assuming a stance of using a hidden knife, his fear was reduced a bit.

The hidden knife style is a defensive move. Brother Ling's posture shows that he is not planning to use any ruthless force.

Jiang Xuan lightly tapped his feet and jumped up, landing only two or three feet away from the soldier.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's speed was so fast, the soldier was also shocked. After all, he had never competed with a peak warrior. In other words, he did not dare to compete with a peak warrior.

Since the opponent started to attack, the soldier naturally could not sit still and wait for death. He immediately drew the sword in his hand and stepped forward to meet the opponent.

"You're still quite courageous!" Jiang Xuan said, holding the sword behind his back and easily dodging the soldier's attack.

"Faster!" Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice while dodging the soldier's attack.

Unexpectedly, after the competition began, the soldier's attack became less cautious and more relaxed than Jiang Xuan had expected.
