Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

This person is straight.

He came to Zhao Xu and said,

"My name is Ma Liang. I heard that you have extraordinary cultivation, so I came here specially to ask for your advice!"

"You..." This person challenged him for no reason. Han Xiangma, who was standing next to him, was so angry that he was about to step forward to argue. Yu Hanliang immediately covered his mouth and held him back.

Zhao Xu looked at the man who came to challenge him and asked with a smile: "Your name is Ma Liang, and your weapon is a pen?"

Ma Liang was confused and could only answer truthfully: "I am good at swordsmanship!"

"Use the knife!" Zhao Xu muttered a few words, turned around and took down a long sword from the horse's back: "I haven't used it for a while!"

Since the battle with Deng Tai'a, Zhao Xu has never unsheathed the sword in his hand.

When someone is fighting, everyone should disperse and leave enough space.

"Dad, why did you stop me just now!" Han Xiangma, who had been released by Yu Hanliang, asked anxiously.

Yu Hanliang rolled his eyes and said, "Boy, do you know your own worth? You dare to get involved in anything!"

"Who are they?" Han Xiangma calmed down at this time and asked softly.

Yu Hanliang hesitated for a moment, then whispered four words in his ear: "Huishan Xuanyuan!"

Han Xiangma was immediately startled, and then said with a worried look: "So, Brother Zhao is in danger!"

Their Chang'an Escort Agency makes a living in Jianzhou, so they naturally know the reputation of Longhu and Xuanyuan, the two pillars of the sky.

"Looking at the situation, it is possible that he is here to weigh up Mr. Zhao's talent and strength. Maybe he wants to recruit someone into the mountain!" Yu Hanliang comforted.

"Dad, you mean..." Han Xiangma was about to say the name of the Xuanyuan family, but he reacted instantly and shut his mouth.

It is well known that the Xuanyuan family likes to recruit people from the martial arts world.

"Don't worry. I, your father, have been in the martial arts world for so many years. This Mr. Zhao is a very powerful man. His strength must be extraordinary!" Yu Hanliang speculated with confidence.

"Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu..." Han Xiangma muttered softly, and then his eyes lit up: "The famous 'Jade Sword Master' seems to have the same name. Dad, what do you think..."

Before he could finish his words, Old Man Yu slapped him on the back of his head and scolded him with a smile: "You think that kind of person would travel the same road with us escorts? It just happens that they have the same name and surname!"

"That's right!" Han Xiangma also reacted.

Yu Hanliang escorted the convoy to Hezhou, accompanied by about twenty old and green escorts, plus more than a dozen assistants, a total of about thirty people.

Now with the more than ten people from the Xuanyuan family included, there are nearly fifty people gathered on the flat ground beside the stream.

The fight attracted everyone's attention. Even the owner of the carriage, the mysterious woman from the Xuanyuan family, got off the carriage under the escort of a group of guards and watched the fight from a distance.

Zhao Xu glanced at the woman in the bamboo hat, then looked at Ma Liang and said, "Did she ask you to come?"

"The master is very optimistic about you!" Ma Liang admitted directly, his tone a little strange, with a hint of jealousy.

"You are no match for me!" Zhao Xu said sincerely, as if he was stating a fact.

Ma Liang was annoyed by Zhao Xu's words at this moment: "Too arrogant!"

"Shh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Liang drew his sword suddenly, and with a flash of blade light, he slashed straight at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu's expression remained unchanged and he moved quickly.

In a split second, he watched the tip of the knife pass through the tip of his nose and move upwards.

"mean……"

"Good, good pace..."

Han Xiangma and other people from the escort agency had a closer relationship with Zhao Xu. When they saw that the other party attacked without saying hello, they started cursing. But when Zhao Xu moved a few steps and avoided the knife, they immediately started to praise him.

Ma Liang is worthy of being from the Xuanyuan family. His strength is incomparable to that of ordinary useless people.

Although in Zhao Xu's eyes there is no difference.

The upward attack failed, so he swung his right hand in a quarter circle and cut horizontally to the left.

The moves are connected, as fast as rain.

Zhao Xu looked indifferent, watching the other party with interest. He kept attacking and dodged with just a few simple steps.

The opponent's strength was only at the third rank, which was considered a master in the general martial arts world, but in Zhao Xu's eyes, he was not good enough.

Even compared to the Sand Punishment that took place between the nine countries three years ago, it is very different.

"Han Dong, what do you think of the strength of Mr. Zhao?" Looking at the fight on the field, the mysterious woman couldn't help but shook her head and asked a guard beside her.

"Miss, this man's strength far exceeds Ma Liang's!" Han Dong replied in a deep voice.

"Ma Liang is already a good fighter among the third rank. Could it be that this man, at such a young age, is already a junior master of the second rank?" The mysterious woman said with some disbelief.

Han Dong remained silent. He couldn't tell the other party's background.

The mysterious woman just assumed that he accepted this guess and thought to herself, "Second rank is good, the stronger the better!"

"it is good……"

The competition was going on all around and it was quite lively.

All the escort masters are from the lower class of the underworld. The strongest ones they can meet on a daily basis are the chief constable Shi Qingfeng and the martial arts coach Yu Hanliang.

At this moment, even though Ma Liang was at a disadvantage, he was undoubtedly a third-grade master.

During the attack, the sword flashed continuously, splitting the wind and chopping the rocks.

"Boy, take a good look. It's rare to see such a fight between masters!" Yu Hanliang kept reminding Han Xiangma.

Ma Liang also used his true fire at this time, and the noise of his attacks became louder and louder.

Although it had no effect on Zhao Xu, the flying debris contained internal force.

Zhao Xu moved his body like a dragonfly skimming the water and landed on a stone in the stream.

"Ma Liang, come here, I will finish you off with one strike!"

“How brave!” Ma Liang shouted, leaped up and came to another nearby rock.

"It's time to take action!" The same thought flashed through everyone's mind.

"Zhi!"

Zhao Xu drew his sword from its sheath, and thrust it out with a roar of a dragon.

A condensed sword energy was suddenly swung out.

"Sword Qi!" the mysterious woman exclaimed softly.

Han Dong, the guard beside him, was even more shocked.

"Kuangfeng Slash!" Ma Liang's eyes were bloodshot. The opponent actually used sword energy, such extraordinary force. He lamented in his heart, is this still the world he is familiar with?

Then he used all his strength and used his unique skills to resist.

"Crack!"

The sharp blade and hard knife, even with the support of internal force, still couldn't hold up and broke directly.

"Pfft!"

Ma Liang was blasted directly into the stream.

This was Zhao Xu showing mercy and weakening the power of the sword at the last moment.

This final blow decided the outcome in an instant.

Several Xuanyuan family guards quickly went down to the stream and pulled the unconscious Ma Liang ashore.

After the excitement, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crack!"

There was a sound of shattering, which startled everyone.

However, the rock on which Ma Liang was standing was shattered by the attack just now.

"Brother Zhao, you are so amazing!"

When Zhao Xu returned to the base, he received a warm welcome from everyone, and Han Xiangma's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Zhao, my master invites you!" Han Dong invited with a respectful look on his face.

Zhao Xu nodded and greeted everyone.

Come to the Xuanyuan family.

"Mr. Zhao..."

"careful!"
