Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Zhao Xu stood up.

"My dear, I don't know why you want to kill Xiao Yu'er, but everyone has only one life, so you must be extremely careful."

"How about we have a duel? If I win, Mr. Hua, please give up the opportunity to kill Xiao Yu'er this time and go back to find out the reason for killing him. We can't do it so unclearly!"

Hua Wuque felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Xiao Yuer, and didn't want to kill him for no apparent reason.

So I took the opportunity to agree.

"Okay! Master Zhao, it's not convenient to fight here. Let's go out and fight."

As he spoke, Hua Wuque had already flown towards the cave entrance, with Zhao Xu following closely behind.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also left the forbidden cave.

Emei, back mountain.

Hua Wuque has inherited all the true skills of Yihua Palace, and his martial arts skills are graceful and natural, and his speed is extremely fast.

Zhao Xu's Qinggong was relatively poor, but his skills were profound and exquisite. After a competition, the difference between the two was almost the same.

The two men came out of the cave one after another, and without much conversation, they started fighting directly.

Zhao Xu was full of confidence in himself. He held a sword in his hand and exuded the aura of a top-notch person.

"I'll let you make the first move."

Hua Wuque's current realm is only in the late first-rate stage (just entering the second grade), but with the unique skills of Yihua Palace, he is confident that he can defeat even an ordinary first-rate peak.

However, judging from Zhao Xu's momentum and performance, he is obviously not an ordinary warrior.

"In this case, Wuque would be rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "clang" sound, and a silver sword flew out from Hua Wuque's arms.

This is a special long sword. It is long and narrow, reaching more than five feet. The blade is cylindrical like chopsticks, and is only sharp at the tip.

Seeing such a special sword, Zhao Xu couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great sword."

Hua Wuque flicked his fingers and the silver sword made a clanging sound.

The sound had not yet died down when the sword was drawn.

Silver light flowed, and in the blink of an eye, Hua Wuque attacked with seventeen swords in a row, and the silver sword light spread out like mercury and splashed towards Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu's body was as still as Mount Tai, and he was not shaken at all by the dazzling sword light.

At the same time Hua Wuque attacked Zhao Xu, Taoist Shenxi and others also left the cave.

As soon as they came out of the cave, they saw the dazzling silver light of Hua Wuque's sword, and everyone felt that it was full of murderous intent and mystery.

As the silver light approached, Zhao Xu, who had been silent, finally took action.

Zhao Xu quickly drew out his sword with his right hand.

"Sword Breaks Thunder Sound"

With a light shout, Zhao Xu thrust out the long sword in his hand, and suddenly, a sky full of sword shadows appeared in front of him.

"Ding ding ding..."

There was a loud collision and sparks flew everywhere.

The light and shadow faded away, and Hua Wuque's face looked a little pale, and his right hand holding the sword trembled slightly from time to time.

The next moment, Hua Wuque unleashed his physical skills, and the long sword in his hand turned into mercury all over the sky, splashing around Zhao Xu continuously.

The sky was filled with silver light, which should have been able to penetrate everywhere, but when facing Zhao Xu, it was at a disadvantage.

Zhao Xu turned into a reef in the water. No matter how fast the water was flowing, he would remain motionless.

With his extraordinary eyesight and superb skills, Zhao Xu displayed the ultimate sword moves and accurately blocked every sword attack from Hua Wuque.

At the same time, it also uses its own basic strength to exert a stronger reaction force to fight back.

After a while, Hua Wuque had performed all of his sword techniques and the moves had begun to repeat themselves, and Zhao Xu knew it was time to end.

"You have exhausted your sword skills. Next, I will return one sword to you to show my respect for Yihua Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xu did not make any further moves, but just slashed out with his sword.

Then, a dazzling and brilliant aura appeared, carrying the force of wind and rain, and sweeping away.

"Sword, sword... sword energy."

When the magnificent sword energy appeared, everyone present was stunned.

"when"

Hua Wuque concentrated all his strength on the silver sword, but was ultimately unable to withstand the attack of wind and thunder. The silver sword in his hand flew out, and he himself flew out as well.

"My son, my son."

The two maids nearby saw that Hua Wuque was injured and hurried forward to support him.

Hua Wu Que simply coughed a few times, then stood up and thanked Zhao Xu, "Master Zhao, please show mercy today. Wu Que will never forget this."

As soon as Zhao Xu's sword energy came out, Hua Wuque thought that he would not be able to escape today. Now he was only slightly injured, which was obviously because Zhao Xu showed mercy.

"It's okay. From what I've seen from Brother Hua today, I know he's an honest and kind person. I also hope that you can resolve the misunderstanding between you and Xiao Yu'er in the future. That would be great."

Seeing Zhao Xu say this, Hua Wu Que clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely find out the whole story when I return."

At this time, the people around had gathered around. Zhao Xu nodded and said loudly: "Today I am fortunate to see the palm and sword skills of the Yihua Palace. It is indeed exquisite and has opened my eyes."

Shangguan Haitang, who was standing by, couldn't help but praise Zhao Xu after hearing what he said, "Young Master Hua is a young talent. It's really not easy for him to cultivate the martial arts of Yihua Palace to such a level at such a young age!"

"That's right, Young Master Hua is an extraordinary martial artist, and Young Master Zhao even showed us the 'Sword Energy', a unique skill that only a Grandmaster can access. It really opened our eyes." After Shangguan Haitang, Taoist Shenxi also praised him, and everyone started to flatter him again.

As time went by and the night grew deeper, everyone said goodbye.

After Hua Wuque and his maid said goodbye, the only people left at the scene besides the Emei people were Zhao Xu, Zhang Jing, Xiao Yuer and Shangguan Haitang.

Taoist Shenxi bowed to Shangguan Haitang.

"Master Shangguan, can you tell me who is the mastermind behind this chaos?"

Taoist Shenxi's question aroused great interest among Zhang Jing and Xiao Yuer who were standing by.

Shangguan Haitang did not answer immediately. After a pause, he slowly said, "According to the news from Hulong Villa, this fake treasure may be related to the Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe."

After stating the suspect, Shangguan Haitang added another sentence.

"Of course, this is just my suspicion from the Hulong Villa. I have no evidence. Please don't leak it."

After sharing the news, Shangguan Haitang also bowed to everyone and said, "Now that the matter has been understood, Haitang will take his leave now."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned around to put a token in Zhao Xu's hand.

"If Mr. Zhao comes to the capital, he can take the token to Tianxia Diyi Manor or Hulong Mountain Manor to find me, and let Haitang do her part as a good host."

Late at night, in a ruined temple.

After seeing off Shangguan Haitang, Zhao Xu and the other two felt it would be awkward to continue staying in Emei. Although Taoist Shenxi tried his best to keep him, Zhao Xu still went down the mountain.

There was no extra talk on the return journey. Zhao Xu simply carried Zhang Jing and Xiao Yuer in his hands, quickly descended from Emei Mountain, and returned to the dilapidated temple where he had lived for the past few days.

At this time, the dilapidated temple was brightly lit by the bonfire, and Zhao Xu asked Zhang Jing what his next plan was.

"Brother Xu, I'm going to go back to see my mother and then stay at Murong Villa for a while."

Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this.

"I still have some things to deal with. Afterwards, I will come to Murong Villa to find you."

Zhang Jing felt sweet in her heart after getting Zhao Xu's assurance that he would come to find her later, and then she looked at Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Yuer saw Zhang Jing looking at him.

"I'm going to investigate Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe. This is very important to me."

Zhao Xu was not surprised to hear Xiao Yuer say this.

He was familiar with the original plot and knew that Xiaoyuer would definitely make such a choice after listening to the information given by Shangguan Haitang.
