Chapter 743 Pure Hook Victory over Evil
Zhou Wen arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City and saw many people gathered outside the Meridian Gate. They all came to watch the battle, but because the gate was closed, no one could enter the Forbidden City.
The Meridian Gate was closed and guarded outside by people from the Xia family. There were four gates in the Forbidden City, but normally only the Meridian Gate could be opened. The other three gates could only be opened when there was a certain opportunity, so now only the Meridian Gate could be used to enter and exit the Forbidden City.
"Zhou Wen, Young Master Xia is already waiting for you in the city, please come in." The Xia family guard said to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was about to go inside carrying the wood, but was stopped by the guard.
"People can come in, but things must be left outside." The guard pointed at the wood on Zhou Wen's shoulder and said.
"Does your Xia family always take away the opponent's weapons before dueling with others?" Zhou Wen said lightly.
As soon as Zhou Wen said this, the onlookers burst into laughter. Although they didn't quite believe that Zhou Wen really used such a huge stick as a weapon, this didn't stop them from despising the Xia family's tyranny.
"Let him in." A middle-aged man sitting at the city gate said to the guard.
The guard then let Zhou Wen pass, carrying the wood, into the Forbidden City.
"Grandpa, is it really okay to let him in like this? What if there is any problem in the wood just as Rukawa said, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous for Rukawa?" The middle-aged man said to Grandpa Xia who was sitting on the city gate tower waiting to watch the battle.
"It doesn't matter. This is the Forbidden City. Even if Leng Zongzhen is hiding in that piece of wood, he won't be able to escape from here unscathed today." Old Master Xia said lightly.
On a tall building far away from the Forbidden City, Shen Yuchi was watching the situation at the Meridian Gate through a high-powered telescope.
Since you can’t enter the Forbidden City, even if you go to the Meridian Gate, you probably won’t be able to see anything.
"Siyuan, what do you think the outcome of this battle will be?" Shen Yuchi put down the telescope and asked Qiao Siyuan after seeing Zhou Wen enter the Meridian Gate.
"I think no matter what the outcome today is, it will be difficult for Zhou Wen to leave the Forbidden City," Qiao Siyuan replied.
Tao Yuchi did not comment and continued to observe the situation inside the Forbidden City through the telescope.
However, there is a mysterious force interfering in the Forbidden City. People can only see the part above the roof and cannot see the specific situation inside.
When Zhou Wen walked into the Meridian Gate, he saw five white jade towers leading to the Taihe Gate, and Xia Liuchuan was standing in front of the Taihe Gate.
After passing through the Taihe Gate, the Taihe Hall is behind. However, I don’t know if the layout of the Forbidden City has changed after the dimensional storm.
Zhou Wen looked around but didn't see any dimensional creatures.
"No need to look. There are no dimensional creatures in the Forbidden City. You can fight me with all your strength without worry." Xia Liuchuan said.
"That's great, but since the final battle is on the top of the Forbidden City, let's fight somewhere high up. I think it's quite high up there, so why don't we go there?" Zhou Wen said, pointing in the direction of the corner tower.
"No need to go to such trouble." Xia Liuchuan said, and a sword appeared in his hand: "This sword is called Gu Chun Gou, and it was transformed from a mythical companion pet. I think you also have a mythical companion pet, so I won't be shy about it."
As he spoke, Xia Liuchuan stabbed at Zhou Wen with a sword. He was a decisive person. He would fight as soon as he said he would, without any hesitation.
The sword light was like snow, and he and his sword seemed to be in front of Zhou Wen in that instant, incredibly fast.
Although Zhou Wen was known for his physical skills, it was impossible for him to dodge such a fast sword while carrying such a heavy piece of wood, so Zhou Wen could only draw his sword to meet the attack.
when!
The knife and the sword collided, Zhou Wen's body did not move at all, but Xia Liuchuan was shocked and took several steps back.
It’s not that Zhou Wen’s strength is stronger than Xia Liuchuan’s, but the wood he was carrying was too heavy and pressed down on his body, so he didn’t retreat.
Although Xia Liuchuan retreated, his body did not become scattered. He tapped the ground with his toes and swung his sword again. His sword skills were erratic and sharp, like a ghost.
Zhou Wen's swordsmanship was also not slow. He held the wood with one hand and swung the sword with the other. The sword and the knife kept colliding, and Zhou Wen also moved forward step by step, gradually approaching Taihe Gate.
Zhou Wen wanted to try it first at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After all, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was the most honorable place in the Forbidden City. If one were to talk about the top of the Forbidden City, that place would be the most likely place.
Moreover, there is only one Hall of Supreme Harmony, but there are four corner towers. If the Hall of Supreme Harmony doesn't work, it won't be too late for him to consider going to the corner towers.
"At such a young age, he has been able to master such mature and steady swordsmanship. This Zhou Wen is truly extraordinary." Old Master Xia narrowed his eyes and commented as if he was admiring a treasure.
"Zhou Wen once defeated John, who had a contract with the Guardian. His strength is indeed extraordinary. And according to investigations, he has more than one or two mythical companion pets." said the middle-aged man.
"The stronger he is, the better." Old Master Xia said with a smile.
Zhou Wen originally hoped to fight all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but Xia Liuchuan obviously would not be suppressed by him so passively.
Xia Liuchuan suddenly changed his shape and appeared behind Zhou Wen like a phantom, stabbing Zhou Wen in the back with a sword.
Zhou Wen was carrying the wood and his movement speed was too slow. He had no time to turn around, but he didn't plan to turn around. He swung his sword with his backhand and blocked Xia Liuchuan's sword.
"The wood on your body is too heavy. Why don't you put it down and fight again?" Xia Liuchuan did not continue to attack and said while looking at Zhou Wen's back.
"When it's time to let go, I will naturally let go." Zhou Wen turned around and said to Xia Liuchuan.
Xia Liuchuan said no more, but the pure hook sword in his hand emitted a strange light, like a holy sword, making people want to worship it.
This time when Xia Liuchuan drew his sword again, it was not so easy to deal with him. When the bamboo sword and the pure hook sword met, Zhou Wen only felt a vibration in his tiger's mouth, and he involuntarily stepped back several steps, and the bamboo sword almost flew out of his hand.
"The Pure Hook Sword is known as the Noble and Unrivaled Sword. It can grant me mythical power." Xia Liuchuan said as he swung the sword again.
Zhou Wen moved his mind, and the Dark Doctor had transformed into a soul and attached himself to him. Zhou Wen swung his sword to meet the attack again. Although he was still repelled by the Pure Hook Sword, he was not as embarrassed as before.
"Just use all your abilities, no need to hide them." Zhou Wen said while looking at Xia Liuchuan while holding the knife.
"Obedience is worse than respect." Xia Liuchuan waved his left hand, and another sword appeared in his hand.
This sword is different from the pure hook. It is a small sword, only about 60 centimeters long. It is not as gorgeous as the pure hook, and seems to carry a kind of evil aura.
"The sword is named Shengxie, and it was also transformed from a mythical companion pet. After so many years of training, most of my skills are in these two swords." Xia Liuchuan said, looking at the sword in his hand with a dazed look.
