Chapter 878 A Powerful Act of Protecting the Child! (Second Update)
That man was a master from the State of Jin, yet he was kicked away without any ability to fight back.
Two experts fell in the blink of an eye.
Gongsun Yu's expression turned colder. He also had a handsome face. When he was young, he had a similar experience to Xuan Yuansheng, and they were both laughed at as little girls.
As they grew up, they both became renowned and fierce generals on the battlefield.
The difference is that Xuanyuan Sheng's heart is filled with light, while his is already shrouded in darkness.
Gongsun Yu coldly looked at the two people who suddenly appeared. One was a boy of only seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in black, with a long sword at his waist. His face was very cold. It was he who had cut off the hand of the guard just now.
He made his move extremely quickly, succeeding right under my nose.
The other person was wearing the armor of the Great Yan Dynasty, and his weapon was a long sword that gleamed with black light.
His long sword was planted in the ground, and his hands rested casually on the hilt.
The passageway was a little low for him. He tilted his head slightly, his face cold and stern, but his eyes were incredibly arrogant!
For a moment, the interconnected passageways could not contain his aura, and even Gongsun Yu felt a terrifying pressure.
Gongsun Yu narrowed his eyes, unable to recall which general from the Yan Kingdom this was.
Marquis Xuanping said with an air of authority, "Chang Jing, take the person away first."
"Oh." Chang Jing, holding the dying Shangguan Qing, turned and left.
Elder Lu suddenly exclaimed, "Chang Jing? Chang Jing of the Dark Night Sect?"
Gongsun Yu frowned slightly and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Elder Lu suddenly realized and looked at Chang Jing, saying, "I was wondering why your sword and moves looked so familiar. You...you really are the young master of the Dark Night Sect?"
It's not surprising that Gongsun Yu didn't recognize the moves of the Dark Night Sect, after all, the Dark Night Sect was a martial arts sect with no connection to the imperial court, while the Sword Pavilion had some dealings with the Dark Night Sect in the martial arts world.
Elder Lu had personally visited the Dark Night Sect and met Sect Master Chang Kun and his youngest son, Xiao Chang Jing.
At that time, Chang Jing was not even ten years old, a tiny boy, completely different from the tall and upright young man he is now.
However, he recognized the sword from the Dark Night Sect.
Chang Jing said to Elder Lu, "Don't talk nonsense."
Marquis Xuanping turned to look at Chang Jing: "Young Master of the Dark Night Sect?"
Chang Jing said without changing his expression, "He's talking nonsense."
Marquis Xuanping said, "Let's go first, we can talk about these things when we get back."
Chang Jing took off running!
Gongsun Yu said coldly, "Trying to leave? Not so easy! Capture them!"
The remaining six guards rushed forward.
Marquis Xuanping stood blocking the entrance to the fourth passage, watching the group rush towards him with murderous intent, without even lifting his eyelids.
These men were not ordinary guards; they were all highly skilled individuals in the Jin state, otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to accompany Gongsun Yu.
They didn't recognize the Great Yan general in front of them at all; in other words, this person was just a nobody.
Those guys are all bluster and bravado; they only know how to launch sneak attacks. In a real fight, they're no match for them!
The first guard to rush forward drew his sword and shouted, "Take this!"
Marquis Xuanping gripped the hilt of his sword with his backhand, pulled it up from the ground, twirled it in his palm, and slashed down with the sword!
The person was still flying.
The head has been moved.
Marquis Xuanping had no penchant for killing, nor did he favor bloody and brutal methods. However, there was no mercy on the battlefield; killing was both a mission and a form of redemption.
Every extra move you leave for the enemy gives them an opportunity to kill you.
Moreover, deterrence is very important!
As expected, after this move, the remaining people all froze for a moment, and hesitated for a second before making their move.
Now!
Marquis Xuanping once again raised his sword and struck, killing one after another without the slightest mercy, and giving Gongsun Yu's henchmen no chance to fight back.
He will definitely be fighting Gongsun Yu soon. At that time, he may not be able to care about these little troublemakers. Rather than letting them chase after his son and Chang Jing, it's better to deal with them all now!
"It's your turn." He brandished his long sword, arrogantly pointing it at Elder Lu.
Gongsun Yu said with a dangerous look in his eyes, "I'll deal with him. You go after the eldest grandson of the Great Yan Emperor."
Elder Lu nodded.
He picked up the musket from the ground.
This thing is too powerful; it must not fall into the hands of this man!
Gongsun Yu and Marquis Xuanping began to fight.
Gongsun Yu is a formidable opponent. He possesses exceptional talent in martial arts, and his skills are no less than those of Xuan Yuansheng back then.
Over the years, he has continuously improved his martial arts skills through extreme battles, making him virtually invincible within the six kingdoms.
He can use any weapon, but today he is carrying a sword.
He drew his sword, threw away the scabbard, and launched a fierce attack on Marquis Xuanping!
The fork in the road they were in was larger than the space inside the passage, but it was still difficult to maneuver, especially for Marquis Xuanping's longsword, which was greatly restricted by the space.
The first move ended in a draw.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Elder Lu darted into the fourth passage and chased after Chang Jing in the direction he had left.
Marquis Xuanping swung his sword, but Gongsun Yu blocked it with his own.
“Your opponent is me,” Gongsun Yu said.
Marquis Xuanping was truly enraged. He smiled coldly and looked at Gongsun Yu, saying, "Gongsun Yu, do you really think I can't beat you?"
This time, he spoke the Zhao language.
Gongsun Yu was taken aback.
Marquis Xuanping pointed his long sword at him: "Years ago, your Gongsun family was already a defeated opponent of mine. Now, you're just adding another defeat to your list!"
That arrogant look in his eyes, that haughty tone...
Gongsun Yu's eyes flickered: "You are... the King of the Underworld?"
Many years ago, a fearsome young man emerged from the underground martial arts arena, defeating top masters from six kingdoms, one of whom was Gongsun Ling, the genius swordsman of the Gongsun family.
Gongsun Ling was another martial arts prodigy in the Gongsun family, yet he was defeated seven times in seven battles by that eighteen-year-old boy from Zhao!
After returning to the Gongsun family, Gongsun Ling completely lost his fighting spirit, and the Gongsun family lost a future general.
Hades was what everyone called that boy.
The reason for this title, besides being an interpretation of his strength, is also due to another important reason—the boy's alias in the underground martial arts arena was extremely despicable: "I am the best in the world."
"It's you, it's actually you..." Gongsun Yu suddenly had a feeling that it was destined. "Very good, I have always wanted to see who defeated Gongsun Ling and kill him with my own hands, to tell the whole world that it is not the Gongsun family that is weak, but Gongsun Ling who is weak!"
Marquis Xuanping gave a mocking laugh: "Ha."
Gongsun Yu ignored his threatening and feigned challenge and continued, "However, aren't you from Zhao? Why did you become a general of Yan?"
Marquis Xuanping slung his long sword over his shoulder: "What's it to you? Are you going to fight or not? If not, get out of my way!"
Gongsun Yu's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed another deadly attack on Marquis Xuanping.
In this narrow tunnel, no complicated moves can be used; it all comes down to speed and internal strength!
Gongsun Yu was so fast that he was left as a blur, but under the powerful senses of Marquis Xuanping, his movements were slowed down and magnified, making them clear and easy to see.
Marquis Xuanping: "Gongsun Yu, no one can stop me from seeing my son."
He took a step back and retreated into the fourth passage. Then, his long sword was used to meet the attack, but Gongsun Yu severed the long hilt of the sword with a single stroke!
Gongsun Yu coldly snorted: "Nothing special—"
Before he finished speaking, Marquis Xuanping grasped the short hilt of the sword and slashed horizontally at Gongsun Yu with a backhand!
Gongsun Yu's expression changed: "You—"
Marquis Xuanping did it on purpose; a long hilt is inconvenient to begin with, so cutting it shorter would make it easier to handle.
The passage was narrow, and Gongsun Yu had nowhere to hide, so he swung his sword to defend himself!
Swords clashed, sparks flew!
Gongsun Yu felt immense pressure emanating from the blade.
This is a father's rage.
"You are not qualified to harm my son, Gongsun Yu!"
Marquis Xuanping drew his hidden secondary sword and plunged it into Gongsun Yu's abdomen!
In a battle of attrition, a master will not give his opponent a chance to attack repeatedly; victory or defeat can be decided in an instant!
However, Gongsun Yu was wearing armor of the same material as Gu Jiao, and the sturdy armor blocked Xuanping Hou's long sword!
Gongsun Yu laughed mockingly: "Is this all you've got, Hades!"
He drew the dagger from his waist and stabbed at Marquis Xuanping!
Clang!
It was the sound of a blade piercing armor.
Gongsun Yu laughed freely, but the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.
He looked down at the long sword piercing his armor, his eyes widening in disbelief.
This is impossible...
His armor was impenetrable; no one could penetrate it!
He suddenly looked at Marquis Xuanping, and his blade pierced into Marquis Xuanping's shoulder. Marquis Xuanping did not use any internal energy to protect himself; he used all his internal energy in this attack!
"you……"
This guy is crazy!
An even crazier than him!
Marquis Xuanping's eyes were cold: "I have said it before, no one can harm my son!"
Gongsun Yu was stabbed!
"My lord!"
Zhu Zhangkuang leaped forward, separated the two with a single palm strike, grabbed the injured Gongsun Yu, and fled swiftly into another tunnel!
Not far behind Marquis Xuanping, a figure in black emerged from a hidden stone cave.
It is Chang Jing.
Chang Jing and Shangguan Qing hadn't actually escaped far; instead, they had hidden in this stone cave.
Elder Lu didn't see it and foolishly chased after it.
"Why don't you pursue him?" Chang Jing asked.
Marquis Xuanping said inscrutably, "He shouldn't have died by my hand. There was someone more suitable to kill him than me."
Chang Jing hit the nail on the head: "You're just too lazy to kill, aren't you?"
Marquis Xuanping said sternly, "...Am I that kind of person?"
Chang Jing, if you tell the truth again, you won't get any more marbles!
Seeing that his son was in dire need of time, he truly had no desire to linger in a fight with Gongsun Yu.
And he wasn't wrong; there were people who wanted to kill Gongsun Yu even more than he did.
When Marquis Xuanping arrived at the grotto, he, who was usually calm even when Mount Tai collapsed, suddenly became nervous.
I'm going to see my son.
To celebrate the reunion of father and son, let's give them a guaranteed monthly pass!
