Chapter 1138

Cao Zhengchun's words provided an answer to the audience's previous confusion.

Why was the formidable Eunuch Cao and the powerful Eastern Depot in "The World's Number One" so afraid of Zhao Huaian? Why were they bullied by the Western Depot at their own doorstep?

Because at this time, Cao Zhengchun's martial arts were not high, at least not compared to Yu Huatian.

Jiang Jiang Yuyan had passed the supreme, fast-track martial arts of the Flower-Moving Palace to Yu Huatian, but not to Cao Zhengchun.

Some audience members shook their heads at this thought.

That is not an accurate way to put it.

It should be said that Jiang Jiang Yuyan actually did pass supreme martial arts to Cao Zhengchun as well, but his martial arts were likely a slow-burn; otherwise, the future Cao Zhengchun would not have been so powerful.

Furthermore, why did the future Cao Zhengchun never mention Yu Huatian?

Because the ship of friendship between him and Yu Huatian had capsized.

"Actually, Eunuch Cao is quite impressive. He is patient when weak, and not overly arrogant or domineering when strong. Others call him a 'castrated dog,' yet he is very polite to people!"

"He's a ruthless character."

"Actually, come to think of it, acting like Yu Huatian does is more likely to invite the Emperor's suspicion."

"I am more curious about what happened to Yu Huatian later. Why is there no trace of him in the future? What exactly is Longmen?"

"..."

627 Yu Huatian successfully captured the interest of countless viewers with his incredibly stunning entrance.

At least in the movie "Flying Swords of Longmen," everyone's interest in him was far higher than in Cao Zhengchun.

On the big screen, the plot continued.

The camera shifted.

A young boy and a young girl, wearing shackles, walked across the desolate Loess Plateau. The boy was about six or seven years old, while the girl was older, looking to be about eleven or twelve.

Disheveled and listless, they looked truly pitiful.

Who were they?

Why did they have to suffer such torment at such a young age?

Soon, a Western Depot officer revealed the reason.

It turned out that when Yang Yuxuan's entire family was executed, the killing was not complete; these two children were actually Yang Yuxuan's son and daughter.

Yu Huatian did this to exile them and use them as bait, hoping to lure out Yang Yuxuan's confidant, Zhao Huaian, and root out the Yang family's influence once and for all.

This part had actually entered the girls' magically altered plot of "Flying Swords of Longmen."

Sure enough, it was very effective.

On the other side.

The martial arts heroine Ling Ling Yanqiu admired Zhao Huaian and, commissioned by him, teamed up with four righteous warriors to rescue Yang Yuxuan's children.

Little did they know that Yu Huatian had already laid a trap to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Unbeknownst to him, Ling Ling Yanqiu took a risky gamble, found a loophole in Yu Huatian's troop deployment, and did the opposite by avoiding the main road.

They chose to strike by a riverbed, successfully killing the escorting officials and rescuing Yang Yuxuan's children.

However.

Yu Huatian was no easy opponent; the Western Depot agents reacted quickly, caught up, and rapidly surrounded the group!

Ling Ling Yanqiu said coldly: "Fight our way out!"

An inevitable battle broke out.

Blades clashed, and the sound of metal striking metal rang out incessantly.

Intermingled with screams and the neighing of horses.

The audience watched, holding their breath in tension.

"I'm so conflicted. I want Yu Huatian to kill these people, but I also want these warriors to successfully protect the two children and leave!"

"Me too, I feel like I'm having a mental breakdown!"

"Ling Ling Yanqiu, played by Chen Yao, is so beautiful. She must not be harmed!"

"..."

Perhaps this movie was the one where the audience had the most chaotic sense of immersion.

—They liked the villains, yet pitied the heroes.

On the villain's side, who doesn't like Jiang Jiang Yuyan and Yu Huatian? They are simply a visual powerhouse. Even Eunuch Cao looks refined and handsome after watching him for a while! Plus, the Western Depot's attire is super cool!

Looking at the heroes' side... what kind of rags are they wearing?

But Zhao Huaian's righteous quest to avenge his master is moving, the boy and girl's miserable appearance evokes pity, and Ling Ling Yanqiu (Chen Yao) is as beautiful as a painting... the heroes are great too!

For a moment, the audience didn't know whether to root for the villains or the heroes.

And amidst this conflict, the plot continued.

In an instant, it became very cruel.

In the blink of an eye, two warriors were dead; fighting while protecting the children was truly too difficult.

Even the highly skilled Ling Ling Yanqiu fell into a difficult battle.

And this was merely a small fraction of the Western Depot's power.

The true big boss of the Western Depot, Yu Huatian, sat on a chair on a nearby hilltop, watching the battle through a monocular telescope, while the other high-ranking officers did not even move.

Terrifying!

Yet at this moment, Ling Ling Yanqiu used her light-body technique, flew onto the cliff, and charged at Yu Huatian with her twin swords.

No sooner said than done.

Her sword was already before Yu Huatian's eyes, but he did not stand up. With eyes like a hawk, in a flash, he extended his index and middle fingers and caught the fiercely thrusting longsword with just two fingers.

"Ah!"

Countless gasps rang out in the theater, and countless audience members were shocked!

Catching a blade with bare hands!

No!

It should be called catching a blade with two fingers!

What kind of crazy martial art is this?

Before they could recover from their shock, an even more shocking scene arrived.

High energy ahead!

"Hmph!"

Yu Huatian let out a feminine and contemptuous snort. He applied force with his two fingers, and the hundred-refined treasure sword, forged from steel, was snapped in two by him!

Yes, snapped!

Snapped with just two fingers!

Terrifying!

"Awesome, awesome, awesome!"

"Holy crap!"

"Oh my god!"

"Yu Huatian is incredibly cool!"

"What martial art is this?"

"That's excessively cool!"

"I remember now, Eunuch Cao in 'The World's Number One' could do this move too!"

"Jiang Jiang Yuyan really favors Yu Huatian!"
