Konoha, I have the Herrscher of the End core in my body.

Chapter 198: Confucian Competition (Part )

"This sword is called Luanshen. Can we start fighting now?" Facing the gentle and elegant Zhang Liang, Luanshen said impatiently.

"Oh, what is its origin?" Zhang Liang continued to ask.

"No, do you want to do it or not?" said Luanshen coldly.

“No, what I wanted to ask about just now was the Eight Swords of the King of Yue. However, the famous sword in Brother Luanshen’s hand is the only one among the six of you that does not belong to the Eight Swords of the King of Yue. If it were not for its extraordinary strength and great background, how could it be listed among them?” Zhang Liang said slowly.

"You only talk but not take action?" The God of Chaos said as his sword was already pointing at Zhang Liang's neck. He was already getting a little impatient.

"Of course we have to fight. Swords are like gentlemen. Winning or losing is trivial. The real thing is to fight with swords. If we don't ask for the right or wrong and draw our swords at the first sight, wouldn't that make us become country bumpkins? It would also violate the principles of fighting with swords set by you, sir. If we don't care about the moral principles and just fight with all our might, I can admit defeat now. What do you think?"

Facing the cold sword of the chaotic god, Zhang Liang remained calm and talked freely. Then he looked at Prince Fusu. This competition was about discussing the Dao with swords. Zhang Liang grasped the essence of it very well, and he was worthy of being called a sage of strategy in later generations.

"You country bumpkin, what a funny thing to do. Haha." Naruto suddenly laughed, and everyone's attention immediately turned to him.

"Don't look at me like that, I just thought of something funny, you country bumpkin, hahaha." Naruto said and laughed again.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it just now, you guys continue." Naruto then spread his hands and said.

"What a good guy, he only cares about fighting without caring about the truth. Zifang is indeed a good speaker. Could it be that Zifang knows a lot about this ancient sword of chaos?" Fusu then retracted his gaze and spoke slowly.

"This sword has an extraordinary origin, and it's a long story." Zhang Liang said slowly, and at the same time, the God of Chaos took back his Sword of Chaos.

"Young Master is busy with all kinds of affairs and values ​​time like gold. Zifang, please be brief." Li Si spoke immediately. He was really afraid that Zhang Liang would talk about some ancient books here and waste time. He had already seen that Zhang Liang had no intention of discussing swordsmanship at all, but just wanted to do something with the help of the discussion.

"Yes, there is a saying in the Analects of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, that a Master does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or gods. This sword is mentioned in it. Its original meaning refers to people who study, govern the country, follow the laws of heaven and earth, pay attention to human affairs and people's livelihood, and do not talk nonsense about strange things or gods. This sword was originally forged by Gou Jian of Yue, who sacrificed a white horse and a white ox to the god Kunwu. After it was forged, it could cut iron like mud, carry wind and thunder, and was extremely powerful. The King of Yue loved it very much.

However, the following year, Wu and Yue fought a great war, Gou Jian was defeated, and the sword fell into the hands of the King of Wu. Later, Yue went through hardships and finally avenged the previous humiliation. Therefore, the meaning of the sword was unknown, so it was renamed Luan Shen, and another famous master was found to forge eight swords. Therefore, although Luan Shen was the famous weapon of the King of Yue, it was not listed among the eight swords. "Zhang Liang slowly opened his mouth and told the origin of Luan Shen.

"Mr. Zhang San, you are indeed knowledgeable and talented." After listening to him, Gongsun Linglong immediately began to praise Zhang Liang.

"I didn't expect this sword to have such a history. Thank you for your guidance." Fusu said slowly.

"Are you done with the sword fight?" Luanshen couldn't help but speak.

"It's over." Zhang Liang said softly.

"Can we start now?" the God of Chaos said coldly.

"No, I just asked for permission, sir. I want to consult the brothers who wield the Eight Swords of King Yue. I'm referring to you six." Zhang Liang said as he looked at the six sword slaves standing aside. It turned out that what he meant before was to challenge the six sword slaves alone.

"I can do it alone, you are not qualified enough for us to attack together."

"Your Excellency has already agreed to Zifang's request just now. I heard that the Six-in-One is a magical skill. I would be honored to receive your guidance." Zhang Liang said as he held the sword and saluted in the direction of Prince Fusu.

"Since Mr. Zhang Liang insists on seeking advice, you guys should teach him a lesson." Zhao Gao spoke. As he spoke, six sword slaves appeared around Zhang Liang in an instant and surrounded him. The six of them drew their swords at the same time and pointed at Zhang Liang in the middle.

"What is this guy doing, Tian Ji's horse racing?" Zhang Liang's actions made Naruto feel a little strange. The six sword slaves attacked at the same time, and there were really not many people in this world who could stop them alone.

"Six of you wield ancient famous swords. Would you please introduce yourselves? Let's discuss the Dao first, and then fight with swords." Facing the murderous aura of the six people, Zhang Liang remained calm.

"This place is really interesting." At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in the air, and then a figure appeared in the hall vaguely, and in a flash came in front of Fusu. Everyone could see her face clearly at this time. She was a young and beautiful woman, but she was dressed strangely.

"Master Xiaomeng, you are finally here." The person who came was Xiaomeng from the Taoist Tianzong. Seeing Xiaomeng coming, everyone stood up. After seeing Fusu stand up, Naruto had no choice but to stand up as well. After all, although Xiaomeng was not very old, his seniority was very high. He was of the same generation as Xunzi of Confucianism, and he was even the uncle of Funian and others.

"Young Master." After Xiao Meng greeted Fusu, she came and sat down next to Naruto, ignoring everyone else.

"Let the competition continue." Li Siji said after Xiaomeng sat down.

"Could any of you please?" Zhang Liang said immediately.

"Weapons are ruthless, sir, be careful." The leader of the Six Sword Slaves, Zhen Gang, ignored Zhang Liang's words and swung his sword directly. The moment he attacked, the other five also launched attacks tacitly. Facing the attacks of six people, Zhang Liang did not move at all.

"Stop." Just as Zhengang's sword was pointing at the elder's neck, Fusu spoke, and the six sword slaves immediately stopped their actions.

"Prince." Li Si, Zhao Gao and others immediately looked at Prince Fusu.

"It seems that I am no match for you if we fight to the death." Although there was blood on his neck, Zhang Liang's expression did not change at all.

"Zifang's verbal sparring is indeed powerful, no less powerful than Luowang's weapon." Fusu stared at Zhang Liang, as if he was thinking about something.

"Zifang is willing to admit defeat." Zhang Liang said softly.

"Even if you are calm in this battle." Fusu made a decision after thinking for a while. This decision surprised the Confucian disciples on the side. After all, Zhang Liang would not be able to win no matter how he fought one against six.

"Yes, six sword slaves, retreat." Zhao Gao immediately ordered the six sword slaves to retreat. After receiving the order, the six sword slaves immediately put away their swords and retreated. After leaving, Luan Shen walked to Zhang Liang and muttered something in a low voice. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with this competition and remembered Zhang Liang.

"Let them go." Fusu said immediately, and Zhao Gao waved his hand, and the six sword slaves immediately left the hall.

"It seems something has happened. Zhang Liang is challenging the Six Sword Slaves to delay time. As for the Tooth-Shiring Prison." Looking at the Six Sword Slaves leaving, Naruto immediately thought about what had happened recently, and then thought of Zongheng joining forces to fight the Six Sword Slaves. Even though his appearance changed a lot of things, the changes were mainly on the Qin side. The anti-Qin forces have not changed at all, and they will not give up just because Naruto has shown his strength.

It is very difficult to convince a person by just talking, let alone a force. Look at Naruto, who did he convince by just talking, but in the end, they were all defeated and surrendered.

Take Fusu for example now. Even after talking with Naruto, he still leans towards Confucianism. Otherwise, there would be no need for a draw in this competition. It was Zhang Liang who was fighting one against six, so it was normal for him to lose.

"Zifang's skills are not as good as others, it is all thanks to your kindness and compassion, your demeanor as a king. Zifang admires you." Zhang Liang then bowed to Fusu with a respectful look on his face, and after Fusu nodded, he returned to his seat.

"The last Zifang sword debate certainly gave us a glimpse of the Confucian's verbal skills. I hope we can see some real talent and learning in this one."

After Zhang Liang left the stage, Li Si immediately spoke up. Although Li Si was born into a Confucian family, Confucianism no longer recognized him after he entered the Qin Dynasty. It sounds a bit ridiculous. He and Han Fei were both Legalists, but Han Fei had always been recognized by Xunzi. The reason was that the Qin State was not recognized by the Hundred Schools of Thought.

In the eyes of the various schools of thought, Qin had always been a barbaric land that did not follow etiquette, and there were problems such as harsh Qin laws. Therefore, none of the various schools of thought wanted to enter Qin. Those who entered Qin were all people who were frustrated in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. For example, Shang Yang had been staying in Wei before, but was never valued, so he entered Qin.

Li Si's situation was similar, but he was smarter. After leaving Xiaoshengxianzhuang, he went directly to the State of Qin. This was because Li Si knew that with his talent and background, it would be difficult for him to be valued in the Six Kingdoms. Han Fei was powerful enough, and he was also the ninth prince of the State of Han, but he was not valued in the State of Han either.

It was precisely because of this that Li Si was very unhappy with Confucianism and wanted to undermine its reputation. Of course, on the surface, he certainly showed respect for Confucianism. After all, he came from Confucianism and needed to respect his teachers.

As Li Si finished speaking, a woman with a beautiful face and a cold temperament wearing black armor of the Great Qin walked out from the side. This person was none other than the former top-level killer of Luowang, Jingwei.

It was Naruto's idea to let Jingwei take action. He wanted to see how Jingwei would react when facing Yan Lu. Others didn't know Yan Lu's origins, but he knew it very well. If nothing unexpected happened, this person should be the last survivor of the Great Zhou royal family.

The reason why Wuming sacrificed himself was to preserve the last bloodline of the Great Zhou royal family. If he didn't die, Luowang's pursuit would not stop. Of course, with Wuming's strength, it would be easy to survive, not to mention that the six kingdoms had not yet perished. But the problem was that Luowang's pursuit would not stop, and it would be difficult for the last bloodline of the Great Zhou royal family to have a peaceful life. He committed suicide in order to let Yan Lu have a peaceful life.

"I wonder which Confucian will fight in this battle?" Li Si immediately spoke after Jingwei appeared.

"Let me do it." Yan Lu immediately stood up. As the head of Confucianism, Fu Nian would definitely be the last one to make a move. The order in which the three heroes of Qi and Lu would make their moves could be easily guessed.

"The name of the sword is Jingwei." Jingwei looked at Yan Lu very calmly. As a former top killer of Luowang, even if she recognized Yan Lu, she would not show it.

"The name of the sword is Han Guang." Yan Lu said as he showed his sword. Like Jing Wei, his expression was also very calm. After all, he had practiced Confucianism for so many years.
