Chapter 442: Cai Qiu Sword Saint, Confused Registration, Mengya Little
"19...... 20...... 21...... No, the movement of the air muscles, at least two percent stronger than me, this person has at least 22 jun of strength. A Manifestation level of this age who is used to using a long sword, the four vassal towns cannot find him. Claiming to be a prince, is it a fake identity, or a descendant of a strong vassal town from outside the territory......"
Although separated by more than a hundred meters, Cai Yunzhou quickly inferred Xia Hong's strength from the movement of his air muscles. Combined with Xia Hong's behavior of claiming to be a prince, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and his expression naturally became solemn.
"This prince has come from afar, is this Cai Qiu's way of treating guests?"
Only he could understand this sentence of Xia Hong's.
Recalling the aura exploration he had just felt in the City Lord's main hall, Cai Yunzhou looked down at Xia Hong, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
Just by an aura exploration, he treated it as a greeting in advance. Wanting to come to Cai Qiu to run wild with 22 jun of strength, he thought it was too simple.
"Guests from afar are divided into good and evil. If a good guest comes to the door, our Cai Qiu naturally has fine wine and delicacies to treat; but if an evil guest breaks through the barrier, this City Lord doesn't mind adding a few more colors of blood to this sky full of wind and snow."
Boom............
The moment Cai Yunzhou's voice fell, Xia Hong's eyes condensed slightly. A strong high temperature suddenly radiated from his body, dispersing the cold current around him, and his body rose into the air like a cannonball, standing directly opposite Cai Yunzhou in the high altitude.
"In the end, we still have to see the real chapter under our hands!"
Xia Hong looked at Cai Yunzhou across the air, a flash of excitement in his eyes. Although the other party's face was solemn, he could see the thick fighting spirit in his pupils.
"Good guest or evil guest, let's not talk about it for now. I have long heard of the name of the Cai Qiu Sword Saint. Let's try how much truth there is in this name of Sword Saint!"
Since he decided to pretend to be a big tail wolf, he naturally had to pretend to the end.
Xia Hong directly questioned Cai Yunzhou's title of Sword Saint, looked at Cai Yunzhou across the air, his face full of contempt and arrogance, exactly like the behavior of a second-generation ancestor of a strong vassal town.
"Then let's see how much ability you have!"
The anger hidden in Cai Yunzhou's low words was already very obvious, but he was extremely cultured. He finished speaking, took a deep breath, and then moved.
Swish............
A strong light suddenly emerged from his waist, and in an instant, it pulled out a terrifying sword blade hundreds of meters long in the air.
There is no need to think about the force of that sword blade. Just from the vacuum zone of several miles suddenly formed in the air along the direction of the sword blade above the city gate, one knows how strong it is.
Whoosh............
The airflow above the south gate of Qinghuacheng suddenly retreated from both sides, hitting the walls on both sides of the mouth of the valley with a bang. Many people queuing to enter the city at the city gate were blown to sway left and right, and some whose strength was too weak even fell directly to the ground.
"It's the City Lord's Huaguang Sword!"
"He drew his sword directly, the City Lord is serious."
"That man in black must be very strong."
"That goes without saying, just look at how he is dressed."
It is slow to say, but it is actually just an instant.
The exclamation of the people below had not ended, and the first round of confrontation between the two in mid-air had already begun.
Facing this sword of Cai Yunzhou that was fast to the extreme, Xia Hong did not make any exaggerated reaction, just a simple sword-drawing action, which was simply drawing the black-handled long sword hanging on his waist.
The whole set of actions could not even be considered fast.
Clang!
A mysterious long sword covered with bright light spots emerged from its sheath, accurately blocking the Huaguang Sword.
The sword tip and the sword blade collided fiercely in the air, and the strong light suddenly bloomed. The airflow that was already whistling did not stop, and it was actually several times more violent than the movement made by Cai Yunzhou drawing his sword just now.
Although Cai Yunzhou's foundation strength was only 18 jun, under the bonus of his sword technique, his instantaneous explosive power actually rose by more than thirty percent. The true strength he finally displayed was at least above 23 jun.
So under this sword, Xia Hong's body inevitably moved backward, and the Star-Shattering Sword was also pressed to his shoulder by the other party, falling into a disadvantage.
However, the change in the expressions of the two people after the confrontation in the sky was completely different from the actual situation seen by the people below.
Cai Yunzhou's pupils added a few more solemnity;
And Xia Hong, who seemed to be at a disadvantage, had a curve on his mouth when he retreated.
"Fast sword, what a Cai Qiu Sword Saint. I also have a fast sword style, please, Brother Cai, enlighten me!"
With the blessing of the imitation and deconstruction of the law-level martial arts, the blood circulation trajectory, force-generating principle, and the evolution rules of the body's meridians of Cai Yunzhou's sword, all the sword trend paths, were instantly seen through by Xia Hong.
Not only seen through, he even deduced the most perfect version of the other party's sword in a moment.
Xia Hong's voice fell. Borrowing the terrifying force of Cai Yunzhou's downward pressure, his body moved downward smoothly, the Star-Shattering Sword retreated suddenly, his body turned and stored power, the Star-Shattering Sword returned along the original path, and in an instant, it rushed towards Cai Yunzhou's face.
Seeing the Star-Shattering Sword returning along the original path, Cai Yunzhou's pupils shrank suddenly. A flash of familiarity and confusion first flashed in his eyes, then he immediately denied it, added a touch of horror, and his body turned into white light, retreating backward fiercely.
"Faster than my Chetian Sword Technique, how is this possible!"
Swish............
It was also a black sword edge hundreds of meters long, but the middle of the sword edge was densely covered with countless starlight. It was night, and Xia Hong's sword was like opening a brilliant galaxy out of thin air in the sky, crushing onto Cai Yunzhou, who was retreating, in less than a breath, both sword and person.
Cai Yunzhou, who had nowhere to hide, could only turn his head and slash with his sword. Realizing that he could not achieve accurate blocking, he immediately made a second choice, slashing fiercely with his sword, trying to disturb the direction of Xia Hong's sword blade.
Clang............
He succeeded, but he also failed!
Saying he succeeded is because he did change the direction of Xia Hong's sword blade;
Failure is that the magnitude of his change was not large, just shifting from the skull to his neck.
Xia Hong's sword was too similar to his Chetian Sword Technique, also winning by speed. For a moment, Cai Yunzhou even felt that Xia Hong was also using the Chetian Sword Technique, but thinking that this was Cai Qiu's non-transferable secret, and except for the Cai clan disciples, no one else was qualified to practice it, he denied it at the first opportunity.
Until the end, feeling that Xia Hong's sword was more than thirty percent faster than his own, he truly confirmed that it was an illusion.
The sword technique used by the other party was clearly more advanced and more powerful than the Chetian Sword Technique.
As for the strength displayed by Xia Hong's sword, let alone!
"Rose by forty percent, strength close to 30 jun......"
The Huaguang Sword was suddenly snapped open. Cai Yunzhou looked at Xia Hong's long sword which had already touched his neck position. The originally solemn expression instantly added a touch of horror.
But at the moment when the horror in his pupils continued to intensify.
In the next second, Xia Hong actually took the initiative to lift the Star-Shattering Sword to the side by an inch.
Swish............
The sword blade was lifted away, and the faint sword energy outside the blade still broke through Cai Yunzhou's skin membrane, drilled into the flesh and blood, and left a two-inch-long sword mark on his neck.
Clang............
"Still have some ability. Calling you a Sword Saint in the Four Vassal Towns territory is not excessive. However, when you arrive at my Great Qin vassal town, it doesn't look like much!"
Xia Hong inserted the Star-Shattering Sword back into the sheath, looked up at Cai Yunzhou, although he slightly restrained the disdain in his eyes, but when he spoke, his face still carried thick arrogance, and his tone was also a few points more overbearing than just now.
Cai Yunzhou, who had retreated dozens of meters towards the city, also put away his Huaguang Sword at this moment. He first straightened his collar without changing his expression, then looked up at Xia Hong, slowly revealed a smile on his face, bowed his hands and said: "So it is a guest from a famous family in the outer vassal town. I am Cai Yunzhou, a third-generation disciple of the Cai clan and City Lord of Qinghuacheng. May I ask, brother, what is your honorable name?"
Finally, we can talk properly!
Xia Hong first looked at Qinghuacheng from afar, noticed that the five auras that had just risen were hidden again, and a smile appeared on his face. He bowed his hands and laughed: "Hong Yu, met Brother Cai."
Great Qin, Hong Yu!
Cai Yunzhou grabbed these two pieces of information and continued with an apologetic face: "It was Cai who was reckless just now, and there were many offenses. I hope Brother Hong will forgive me."
"Brother Cai is polite! This prince traveled here and broke through the barrier rashly, which is indeed a bit wrong. You and I, today, should be considered as not knowing each other without fighting, how about it?"
"Hahaha, Brother Hong is quick-spoken, quite to my temper! However, please forgive me, Brother Hong. Cai rarely operates outside the Mount Moao River territory, so it is inevitable that I am ignorant. May I ask, in which direction is your vassal town?"
Cai Yunzhou paused after speaking and hurriedly added: "Of course, if Brother Hong feels it is inconvenient, just treat it as if I am being talkative."
A flash of gloom appeared in Xia Hong's eyes, and he waved his hand and smiled: "It is not inconvenient. My Great Qin is located in the territory east of Lu Long. It is indeed very far from here. Even not many people in Lu Long know about it. It is normal that Brother Cai has not heard of it. Besides, didn't you hear about it today?"
The origin fabricated at will certainly cannot stand, especially in front of a vassal town-level camp like Cai Qiu, it is very easy to be seen through. Xia Hong naturally understands this point. The name of the camp can be fabricated at will, but the specific location must take some effort.
Fabricating a place that is too far and too illusory, not to mention that it is difficult to take credit, and it is easy to arouse evil intentions if people really believe it; a place that is too close and too specific, people can go to verify it if they spend some effort, that won't work either.
The territory east of Lu Long was not fabricated by Xia Hong at will, but was carefully designed after many inquiries and understandings in the four months in Changqing Valley.
Because the territories of the four vassal towns of Cai Qiu, Chen Cang, Hezang, and Weibo are surrounded by Mount Moao, there is the saying of Mount Moao River.
Strictly speaking, Lu Long vassal town is also in this territory, but due to the obstruction of Hanbo Lake, Lu Long is not actually adjacent to the three vassal towns around it, which leads to very little communication between the two sides.
Precisely because of this, Lu Long became the breakthrough point for Xia Hong to forge his identity.
As long as he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, the four vassal towns will definitely not spend the effort to send people to Lu Long to verify, and the territory east of Lu Long is enough to give them infinite room for imagination.
That's enough!
Sure enough, hearing him say the territory east of Lu Long, Cai Yunzhou immediately showed an expression of "as expected". This is enough to prove that the origin of the Great Qin vassal town he forged was very successful.
"That's right, that's right. Today, being able to produce such a genius as Brother Hong, the Great Qin vassal town is a place of outstanding people, which can be seen from a glimpse......"
Cai Yunzhou paused after speaking, and a look of self-reproach appeared on his face: "Cai is confused. Brother Hong is a guest from afar, how can I let the guest stand here? I will go to the city to prepare a banquet. Brother Hong, please follow me. After taking our seats, we will talk slowly, how about it?"
"I couldn't ask for more."
"Hahaha, good, Brother Hong, please!"
"However, I still have a few servants......"
"Gone, the Lord followed him into the city?"
Xia Hong and Cai Yunzhou talked at a normal volume, so everyone under the south city wall could not hear, naturally including the four Su siblings.
Su Jing was somewhat uneasy in his heart at this moment. Although he witnessed the scene of the two fighting in the sky just now, with their strength, who won and who lost, who had the upper hand and who had the lower hand, they couldn't see anything at all.
Of course, not only them, but everyone around the south gate was like this.
In their perspective, the two collided three or four times and then stopped. Immediately after, they chatted for a while in the air, and Cai Yunzhou reached out to Xia Hong, as if issuing an invitation, and then the two flew into the city together.
"The Lord won't have anything happen, right?"
"I don't know, we can't see who won or lost."
Hearing Su Jing's words, Su Xu and Su Zhi's expressions also became nervous.
"That is the City Lord of Qinghuacheng, the direct grandson of Lord Fangbo! Even if he loses, it is normal. The Lord looks much younger than him."
Su Xing'er heard the implication of her two older brothers. Although she also felt that Xia Hong couldn't win, she still defended Xia Hong in a low voice, unconvinced.
"Alright, continue to queue to enter the city, don't stay here at the city gate!"
However, soon, that Fang Tianhua who had knelt down to beg Xia Hong for mercy just now seemed to have received some order and opened his mouth to let everyone at the city gate continue to queue to enter the city.
Then he turned his head to look at the four Su people, ran over in small steps, and said with a flattering smile and bowed hands: "Four little young masters, the City Lord has already arranged a place for you to stay, follow me into the city quickly!"
It is not an exaggeration at all.
Fang Tianhua, who was still arrogant just now, actually showed a flattering smile on his face at this moment. He even bowed his body slightly, and his expression was slightly uneasy.
The four Su people were all stunned at this moment. They were locals of Changqing Valley and knew the style of the County Guard Army very well. Before, when they lived in Qingtan Village, even if an ordinary County Guard soldier came, their leader had to serve him with good food and drink throughout the whole process, basically asking for whatever he wanted, and dared not have the slightest disobedience.
Such a person, flattering them?
"Lord, it is the strength shown by the Lord that made them like this!"
The four Su siblings are not stupid, and they immediately figured out the reason.
But as they followed Fang Tianhua into the city, they gradually realized that they were still too naive. The treatment brought to them by the strength Xia Hong showed at the south gate was far more than these......
"Husband, did we offend someone?"
Just as the four Su siblings were following Fang Tianhua into the city, the Hu brothers who were queuing at the main gate had faces full of lingering fear.
Hearing his wife Fang Jing's slightly uneasy words, Hu Tiejiang immediately comforted in a low voice: "Rest assured, that Lord may not necessarily know, and even if he knows, he won't blame us......"
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at his younger brother Hu Tiechuan beside him, and both of them saw a trace of bitterness and regret in each other's eyes.
Xia Hong is a powerful person. Last night at the Aikou Village post station, they had already seen it. But to the extent of being able to trade blows with the Qinghua Chengcheng Lord, this was far beyond the expectations of the two.
If they had known this earlier, no matter what method they used, they should have chatted with Xia Hong and climbed up some relationship on this journey.
Such a big figure, even if they became his slaves, this life would be considered a heaven-defying change of fate.
They traveled with Xia Hong for a whole night, but they stupidly didn't do anything.
Now it is too late to regret.
"Don't let your imagination run wild, enter the city quickly, and talk about de-registration first!"
Hu Tiejiang suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, reached out and touched the registration book in his arms, and took his family to queue to enter the city with concentration.
Compared to the uneasy Hu family, the four Su siblings, from the moment they followed Fang Tianhua into the city, the whole process seemed dizzy. ===== CHAPTER 443 =====
Compared to the uneasy Hu family, the four Su Jing siblings had been dizzy from the moment they followed Fang Tianhua into the city.
