Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 29: Can't Let Him Return to Beijing Alive
The night falls and the candlelight is bright.

Jiang Xuan sat at the table, looking through the two secret books he got from Tian Boguang.

He first opened the "Kuangfeng Sword Technique" and what caught his eye was the general outline of the sword technique.

The Kuangfeng Sword Technique is also known as the 'Thirteen Styles of Flying Sand and Rolling Stones'.

It can be seen that this sword technique is also adapted from the thirteen basic sword techniques, and the whole set of sword techniques has only thirteen moves.

But it is famous for its 'fast'.

Different from other sword techniques that counter the opponent's moves, this sword technique advocates taking the initiative to defeat the enemy. The attack is like a hurricane, and a burst of high-frequency quick cuts disrupts the opponent's rhythm of attack, achieving the purpose of suppressing the enemy.

Moreover, among the thirteen sword techniques, each change contains three or four exquisite follow-up moves, forming an impenetrable attack rhythm.

Imagine that during a fight on the battlefield, your opponent loses strength after only one move, while you make a move, followed by three or four exquisite sword attacks, making it difficult for your opponent to defend. Even if he can defend himself, his rhythm has been disrupted by a series of fierce slashing and hacking, and he has fallen into a disadvantage of having the last move, so your chances of winning are naturally greatly increased.

This is the characteristic of the Kuangfeng Sword Technique, swift speed and strange and changeable moves.

"The subtlety of the changes in this Kuangfeng Sword Technique has probably surpassed the level of basic sword techniques. It's at least a second-rate martial art!"

After carefully reading the entire sword manual, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel emotional.

Tian Boguang's skills have reached the first-rate level. If this Kuangfeng Sword Technique is a second-rate martial art, then he has at least practiced it to the great perfection level, and he is definitely a strong player even among the first-rate realm.

It's a pity that he was arrogant and didn't take me, a second-rate warrior with mastered basic swordsmanship, seriously during the battle in broad daylight. He died before he could perform a few moves of his exquisite Kuangfeng swordsmanship. It was a great regret in his life.

Of course, their goals are different.

Tian Boguang just wanted to show off his swordsmanship in front of Yi Lin and use Jiang Xuan as a backdrop to please the beauty, but Jiang Xuan was out to kill people.

In his hands, the sword technique is just a means of killing.

If you can't win with swordsmanship, try another method.

Tian Boguang naturally could not have imagined that Jiang Xuan's archery skills had also reached a high level, reaching the point where he could shoot instantly.

Faced with the sneak attack of Dacheng Archery, coupled with his deliberate plan, it can only be said that his death was not unjust.

"If I can master this Kuangfeng Sword Technique, my strength will definitely reach a new height!" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

The Xiuchun sword technique is only a third-rate basic sword technique, which emphasizes strength, ferocity, bloodiness and domineeringness.

However, it is too strong and lacks changes. It needs to be combined with the Wind Chasing Step to barely keep up with the changes in the swordsmanship and exert its maximum power.

However, this Gale Sword Technique just makes up for the shortcomings of his own sword technique in terms of changes and speed.

But for now, I'd better practice the Xiuchun Sword Technique to perfection and become a top-notch practitioner first.

As for the Gale Sword Technique, just practice it to the basics for now, and continue practicing when you have time later.

Putting down the Kuangfeng Sword Manual, Jiang Xuan picked up the Dieyun Body Technique and began to read it.

"Huh?" Jiang Xuan looked a little surprised.

This 'Duyun Body Skill' actually surpassed the scope of basic body skills and could be considered a light skill.

As the name suggests, once this technique is mastered, one can be as light as a cloud and climb up layer by layer.

Unlike the Wind Chasing Step, which requires leverage to complete movements such as climbing and jumping, the Cloud-Crossing Step can actually leverage leverage in the air by controlling the body's strength. With three Cloud-Crossing Steps, a distance of more than ten meters can be covered.

The body movements are divided into two parts, namely "Stepping on the Three-fold Clouds" and "Stepping on the Three-fold Clouds in the Reverse".

In short, it can be performed both forward and backward.

"No wonder Tian Boguang is known as 'Walking Alone for Thousands of Miles' in the martial arts world. He really has found a treasure..."

Jiang Xuan chuckled, feeling happy inside.

His Wind Chasing Step is only suitable for close combat. He uses strange steps to confuse his opponents. In addition, he is as light as a swallow and uses swordsmanship to kill the enemy.

If he could master the 'Dieyun Body Technique', he would be able to attack when advancing and defend when retreating, and his strength would surely be taken to a higher level!
Walking to the window and looking at the night sky, Jiang Xuan saw that it was still early, so he went downstairs to the backyard and began to practice martial arts under the moonlight.

I plan to master these two second-rate martial arts first.

……

at the same time.

Beijing, old house in the south of the city.

Lu Wenzhao stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking at the man in black kneeling on the ground in front of him, his face turning pale and blue.

"A first-rate border commander with a long-standing reputation, plus over 200 elite soldiers, couldn't even kill them!"

After a moment, Lu Wenzhao finally couldn't help it and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Just three people, one third-rate and two second-rate, Xue Yanchuan alone is enough to kill them. Is he an idiot? He can fail like this?!" The man in black lowered his head and said nothing.

Lu Wenzhao was furious.

Xue Yanchuan was originally a captain of the Liaodong border army. Last year, in a battle against the invasion of the Qing army, his subordinates suffered heavy casualties because the court did not send reinforcements. In desperation, he gave up resistance and retreated to the interior of the country, resulting in the border area being looted by the Qing army and countless casualties among the people.

Later, the imperial court issued a warrant to bring him back to the capital for punishment. Xue Yanchuan decided to go all out and fled to Xuanbi Mountain in the Jinglu Tunbu area and became a bandit. The imperial court was unable to do anything to him.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Wenzhao secretly sent someone to contact him, pointed out his relationship with Prince Xin, and won him over.

After that, Xue Yanchuan had been lurking at the border, doing some shady things for them, just waiting for Prince Xin to ascend the throne so that he could be reused.

This time, Lu Wenzhao secretly sent him a message, asking him to capture Jiang Xuan and his two companions as well as Yang Huizhen in one fell swoop.

This way, he killed two birds with one stone. The credit went to Lu Wenzhao himself, he gained Wei Zhongxian's trust, and he could also avenge his junior sister Ding Baiying. It was a sure thing.

But he didn't expect that after waiting for so many days, he would receive news that the operation had failed. How could Lu Wenzhao not be furious?!

for a long time.

Lu Wenzhao suppressed his anger and asked, "Is there any news about Xue Yanchuan?"

The man in black bowed and said, "No, after that night, not only did Xue Yanchuan disappear, but all his subordinates also dispersed."

Lu Wenzhao frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out what happened that night?"

The man in black shook his head. "According to the townspeople, some heard sounds of fighting coming from the general's mansion, but they didn't dare go in to see. The next morning, the mansion was on fire, and the place was filled with charred corpses, no less than a hundred people!"

Lu Wenzhao's face was gloomy and uncertain. He took a deep breath and asked, "Where are they?"

"Just passed Anyang County."

The man in black hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, there is one more thing. According to the report from the Anyang County Government, Jiang Xuan killed a flower-stealing thief in the Anyang County Restaurant."

"This man's name is Tian Boguang, known in the martial arts world as 'Walking Alone Ten Thousand Miles'. He's a veteran, top-notch martial artist. The four ghostwriters have been chasing him for years but haven't been able to catch him."

Lu Wenzhao frowned. "Jiang Xuan killed him? Are you saying... Jiang Xuan's skills have also reached the first-class level?"

The man in black lowered his head and said, "I dare not speculate, but I heard that when the county government officials arrived at the restaurant, the assassin Cheng Xiazi was also there. It is likely that Tian Boguang died at the hands of Cheng Xiazi."

"That's right."

Lu Wenzhao sneered: "He must have used his status as a Jinyiwei to bully the blind man and claim the reward."

"Although I haven't paid attention to him before, according to my junior sister, this kid's skills are only third-rate. Even if he has made a breakthrough in this month, he will only be at the second-rate level at best."

"Second-rate kills first-rate?"

Lu Wenzhao snorted coldly: "How can practicing martial arts be so easy!"

"That's what my lord said."

The man in black whispered, "Then what should we do next? At their speed, they can reach the capital in five days at most."

Lu Wenzhao narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. A fierce look flashed in his eyes and he said, "If Xue Yanchuan had an accident, then they would probably already know about our relationship with Xue Yanchuan. We can't let them return to Beijing alive!"

The man in black's expression changed slightly: "My Lord, you mean to continue..."

Lu Wenzhao took a deep breath and nodded, "The Guo Zhen case has already aroused Wei Zhongxian's suspicions. He has been secretly investigating the prince. If Xue Yanchuan's affairs are exposed, I will be targeted as well. Maybe he will follow the clues and find the prince."

"The Emperor is in poor health and probably won't have much time left. This is a critical moment, so we can't leave any loopholes and take any risks!"

The man in black looked embarrassed. "But sir, we don't have many people available, and most of the remaining ones are ordinary free-lancers. If we want to kill them, we must mobilize at least thirty people to ensure that there is no risk of failure. But with so many people, we will be too conspicuous. If we leave anyone alive..."

"Damn it!" Lu Wenzhao realized the consequences of doing so and his face looked a little ugly.

"If Junior Sister were still here, how could I have fallen into this situation where I have no one to use me?"

When he mentioned his junior sister Ding Baiying, the murderous intent in his eyes became even heavier.

After a moment of silence, Lu Wenzhao suddenly asked, "How is Shen Lian doing recently?"

The man in black shook his head and said, "He's half dead. Someone in the Imperial Prison is taking care of him, otherwise he would have died long ago."

Lu Wenzhao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly turned and walked outside.

"I'm going to the Imperial Prison!"
