Moonlight and wind

A surge of internal force attacked Shan Zimo. When he turned around, he saw Ximen Guizheng waiting outside the prison gate!

And there was not a single person in the entire prison!

Ximen Gui's whole body lit up with a bright blue Qi state, and his eagle-claw-like hands tightly grasped Shan Zimo's shoulders. His five fingers almost pierced through Shan Zimo's skin and into his flesh!

Shan Zimo looked puzzled, and his inner strength surged instantly, and the Qi state flashed, "Master Ximen, what are you doing?"

At this time, Shan Boyu quietly retreated to the side, folded his hands across his chest, and looked at the two of them coldly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Ximen Gui smiled faintly, "This is the first time I have seen the White-haired Martial Emperor. I know that I am overestimating myself and actually wanting to challenge the Martial Emperor as a Martial King. This is a rare opportunity, so I would like to ask Young Master Shan to learn from me and give me more advice!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Zimo's mouth corners unconsciously lifted, "That's good, ever since Yuanji improved his martial arts to the late stage of Martial Emperor, I haven't had the chance to test my skills!" He was secretly delighted in his heart.

"I don't deserve your advice!" Shan Zimo broke free from Ximen Gui's sharp claws, rubbed his shoulders, twisted his neck, stretched his muscles, but put away his Qi state.

"Young Master Shan, you are looking down on me!" Ximen Gui couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw the gilded Qi realm disappear.

"Don't worry, Lord Ximen!" Shan Zimo explained hurriedly, "It's my fault that my martial arts are not good enough. I am not yet proficient in the operation of internal force and true energy. I am sorry to have embarrassed you!" Then he stood with two fingers in front of him, and the Turtle Spirit True Energy appeared.

Ximen Gui frowned slightly as he looked at his Guiling Zhenqi. It looked a little different from the Zhenqi realm just now, but he couldn't tell where the difference was. "Maybe Master Shan has a lot of internal strength in his body. If I ask him, it will show that I am ignorant!"

"Young Master Shan, could you please take out the Frost and Snow Dragon's Roar Sword!" Ximen Gui stretched out his precious sword from behind.

The blade is more than three feet long, and the handle is carefully carved from ebony. A sapphire is inlaid at the end of the handle, which is very consistent with his true energy realm! The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing but extremely sharp, and the back of the blade is engraved with complicated patterns.

"What a good sword!" Shan Zimo saw the sword emitting a faint cold light at a glance, which made people feel awe.

Ximen Gui smiled proudly, took the precious sword in his hand and stroked it gently, "This sword was made by Master Zhiye, the first forging master of Wu Country. It is the most important thing in my life!"

Shan Zimo burst out laughing, "The entire Wu Kingdom is filled with Master Zhiye's masterpieces! Why do I feel like they are worthless?"

"Young master, you may not know this. Although the old man is very stubborn, he is very good at judging people. Most of the people he chooses to forge weapons for are righteous people!" Shan Boyu explained while leaning aside.

"So," Shan Zimo squinted his eyes, "this knife is the good guy card that Master Zhiye gave you!"

"You're too kind," Ximen Gui smiled, his handsome face showing a bit more awe, "I have met Master Zhiye once, and he actually trusts me so much, it's really my blessing!"

"To compete with justice, pure technical exchange, I like it!" Shan Zimo stretched out his right hand, with an evil smile, and let out a monkey cry, "Bring the knife!"

Shan Boyu was startled, and quickly stood up and waved his hand, "I don't think it's necessary!"

Shan Zimo looked at him sharply, "You are being disrespectful to Master Ximen! Hurry up and bring the knife over!"

Shan Boyu reluctantly took out the Frost and Snow Dragon Roar Blade from the weapon bag behind him and slapped the scabbard with his palm. With a low dragon roar, the Frost and Snow Dragon Roar Blade finally flew out of the scabbard again after a long silence.

The Frost and Snow Dragon's Roar Blade seemed to be breathing deeply, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, flashing a faint cold light, and running towards Shan Zimo!

Shan Zimo jumped up and pulled back the Longyin Sword that almost ran away!

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You've become a lot more playful!" Shan Zimo stroked his knife lovingly, just like Ximen Gui.

"The space here is small, why don't you ask Young Master Shan's wife to move to the gate of the prefect's mansion, which is spacious and will allow Young Master Shan to show off his skills!"

Ximen Gui had already made a gesture of invitation. Although Shan Zimo was a little hesitant, he still followed Ximen Gui to the open space in front of the main gate of the prefectural mansion.

Soon, the prefectural governor's mansion was surrounded by people who came to watch the fun, and the owner of the arena had already set up a table and started taking bets!

"I think that Baimao is no simple man," the common people took out a few copper coins and bet on Shan Zimo's side.

"You've been in Shahuang City for so long in vain!" Another commoner said unconvincedly, "Our Lord Ximen is a rare Wu Wang-level civil servant in Wu Country! Wu Wang! Do you understand?"

"That's right!" Other people also echoed, "How many martial kings can you meet in your lifetime!" And they all followed him to place bets on Ximen Gui.

"I want to bet on Baimao too!" Shan Boyu squeezed into the crowd and took out a few warm copper coins from his closest lapel. These were the money he had saved when he was in Yanyu Town!

"Could it be that little brother knows the strength of that white-haired man?" Seeing the unfamiliar Shan Boyu, everyone came over to inquire about Shan Zimo's martial arts ability.

"Do you know who he is?" Shan Boyu raised his head proudly.

"He looks like a big shot!"

"He is the famous bounty hunter in Yanyu Town - Hong Qigong!" Shan Boyu's nostrils flickered!

"Tsk!" Everyone dispersed, "I've never heard of it!"

"Hmph!" Shan Boyu crossed his arms in front of his chest, "You don't know what's good! Just wait to lose everything! I'm going to get rich!" Shan Boyu thought happily, "A little Martial King still wants to challenge the late Martial Emperor. He really wants to die!"

Suddenly thinking of this, Shan Boyu suddenly became nervous. He felt that the Frost Snow Dragon Chant Blade was sent out too early! He couldn't help but sweat for Ximen Gui!

"I wonder what martial arts moves Lord Ximen is using?" Shan Zimo laughed as he looked at Ximen Gui who was on high alert.

"Oh!" Ximen Gui responded, "It's not a well-known martial art. A few years ago, Master He gave me a sword technique secret book. I got along very well with him, so I practiced this set of "Smashing Stars and Breaking Moon Sword Technique."

Upon hearing this, Shan Zimo stretched his neck and said, "Wait a minute! Such a domineering sword technique is still unknown?"

Ximen Gui laughed innocently, "There are relatively few people practicing it. It cannot be compared with the "Snowfall Sword Technique". It is simply not worth mentioning!"

"Humble!" Shan Zimo swung the Frost Snow Dragon Roar Blade in his hand, making a low dragon roar, "Then let me see how powerful this domineering sword technique is in shattering the stars and breaking the moon!"

Seeing that Shan Zimo was about to start, Ximen Gui also held the knife in one hand with the tip of the knife pointing to the ground. In an instant, the bright blue Qi realm completely enveloped the sword. At that moment, the gem on the end of the handle shone even brighter!

“The first move of the Star-Breaking Moon-Breaking Sword Technique is Falling Stars and Dawn!” Ximen Gui opened his lips slightly and chanted in a low voice.

Ximen Gui suddenly swung his sword, and the sword emitted a blade of energy that turned into a dazzling meteor and attacked Shan Zimo!

Shan Zimo raised his lips and waved the Dragon Roar Knife to block the incoming knife energy. But he never expected that the meteor would come so fast!

The moment the meteor touched Shan Zimo's Turtle Spirit Energy, it completely shattered it!

Shan Zimo was severely beaten back and fell to the ground unconscious!
