Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 257 Top Level vs. High Level

"This competition is to prove strength. There doesn't have to be a winner or loser, but since things have come to this, there must be a result." Jiang Xuan said slowly to the soldier.

The moment this soldier and two other soldiers blocked his way, Jiang Xuan made some decisions.

Just as he was thinking at the north gate, he had made some enemies intentionally or unintentionally in Qizhou City. If he wanted to deal with less unnecessary trouble, he had to establish his authority. Being a good guy all the time could solve some problems, but it could not solve all problems, such as the current problem.

He certainly didn't think the soldier in front of him with the sword was the problem, but the person behind him was the problem.

Even so, he wanted to make the soldier holding the long sword suffer some losses to scare him.

The soldier didn't know what Jiang Xuan meant by this, but the tension in his heart increased inexplicably. He swallowed and said, "Sir, you can say whatever you want to say."

"Very good, it's really good. Let me tell you in advance, this dagger is a top-level weapon, so don't bully you later." Jiang Xuan continued slowly.

However, the soldier still seemed unable to understand the meaning of Jiang Xuan's words. He simply stopped thinking about it and readjusted his posture before using the sword.

"Please come in." Jiang Xuan said.

The soldier seemed to be waiting for Jiang Xuan to say this. As soon as Jiang Xuan said this, the soldier stood in that position and rushed towards Jiang Xuan in an extremely imposing manner.

"Not bad, very impressive!"

Jiang Xuan exclaimed in admiration and easily dodged the soldier's seemingly fierce attacks one by one.

one strike!
Two strikes!

……

After more than twenty strikes, the soldier didn't hit Jiang Xuan once!
What was even more terrifying was that the soldier's attack seemed to be getting further and further away from hitting Jiang Xuan.

At the same time, Jiang Xuan was dodging more calmly.

The people present could clearly see that Jiang Xuan was not competing at the moment, but more like playing.

"It has good staying power." Jiang Xuan teased the soldier again.

The soldier was a little angry when he saw that his attack missed again and again, so he forced himself to attack a few more times.

However, after one attack, the soldier made an adjustment.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan also smiled faintly and said, "It's really good."

The soldier was also a little confused after hearing this, thinking to himself: "It's just an adjustment, how can it be considered good?"

However, the soldier did not realize that Jiang Xuan's words were based on the rehearsal in his mind. The soldier was completely in line with Jiang Xuan's adjustment rhythm. It seemed that this person's perception and adjustment of the battle were quite good.

At the very least, he can be said to be a very outstanding existence among the city guards.

Just after Jiang Xuan said this, the soldier adjusted his sword and slashed horizontally again.

"This is the moment!"

Jiang Xuan let out a low shout, and instantly drew the short knife in his hand, slashing at the long sword that was coming sideways.

"So fast!" The soldier was so shocked by Jiang Xuan's action that his face turned pale.

"This...how is it possible?" Another soldier in the distance also cried out in shock.

Although he had never fought against a top warrior, he had seen fights or competitions between top warriors.

Being able to launch such an attack speed is already very amazing. Even among all the top warriors, he is considered to be an extremely outstanding existence.

At this moment, the soldier regretted his decision to stop Senior Brother Ling. But then he thought, even if he didn't want to stop Senior Brother Ling, who had become famous at the Five States Martial Arts Show, what could he do? He had no choice. With things at this point, he just hoped this farce would end quickly.

The soldier holding the long sword knew that he could not dodge in time, so he simply used his long sword to fight against the opponent's short knife.

The long sword and the short knife collided and paused for a moment.

Then, Jiang Xuan heard a sentence from his raised mouth: "Break!"

At that moment, the soldier holding the long sword seemed to have thought of something.

"Just now he said that the dagger was a top-grade weapon, and he also asked about my weapon, knowing that it was of high-grade quality. Could it be that..."

"Crack!"

A crisp sound was heard and the weapon broke.

The soldier holding the half-broken sword had a changed expression!

His proud high-level sword was easily cut off!
"This is the price Ling wants you to pay." Jiang Xuan slowly put the dagger into the brown scabbard and said calmly.

The soldier holding the half-broken sword looked ashen at this moment, but there was not a trace of anger in his heart.

At this moment, he felt the absolute suppression of a peak warrior.

He only hated his own lack of strength, which led to his loss of the competition and the loss of the high-level sword that had accompanied him for many years.

"Verification is over." Jiang Xuan looked at the soldier who seemed a little lost at the moment and said lightly.

"I lost." The soldier looked into the distance, waiting for the man to speak.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan did not look in the direction the soldier was looking, but just looked calmly at the soldier holding the half-broken long sword.

"Don't be surprised, sir. I'm a captain in the city guards, and I'm also the manager of this observation post."

The captain who was wearing exquisite armor walked up to Jiang Xuan with a smile on his face and spoke to him with a hint of apology in his tone.

How could Jiang Xuan not know that this matter was caused by this captain? Naturally, he would not believe what the captain said.

"Captain, I need to go to the Great Forest north of the city for some business. I didn't expect these two soldiers to stop me. What's your explanation?"

Although Jiang Xuan's face was very kind, there was a hint of blame in his tone.

"Junior Brother Ling, please don't get angry. Junior Brother Ling, you don't know that the canyon behind this is extremely dangerous. Ordinary warriors dare not easily let them enter."

The captain explained to Jiang Xuan carefully, looking worried.

Jiang Xuan looked at the captain, his face showing concern. He asked, "Oh? Why has the forest north of the city suddenly become so dangerous?"

"Many warriors have reported that the commotion in the Great Forest has increased significantly since today. Many ferocious beasts have been hunted down. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."

The captain said this with a serious look on his face.

"It's not like we haven't been to the inn before. Those warriors were all hunting in the forest. The captain is exaggerating."

Jiang Xuan had just come from the inn after a hearty meal, so he naturally knew that what the captain said was not entirely false, but if it came to this extent, he would not believe it.

If it is true as the captain said, those warriors who were resting and eating in the inn must have left early. Why would they bother paying all that money and waiting in the inn?
However, Jiang Xuan was expecting the captain to say so.
