Chapter 1564: 758 Complete Victory! (Second Update)_2
“It is said he is a master. Mr. Han the fifth originally planned to exchange places with soone,” Gu Changqing said.
Gu Jiao uttered a sound, “Afraid he can’t beat Su Chen?”
Gu Changqing said, “No, he wants to defeat you and eliminate you from the competition.”
Strictly speaking, the selection process doesn’t allow for casual exchange of number plates, but the Han family is in charge of the event, and it just so happens that Gu Jiao has drawn a mber of the Han family.
Gu Jiao also harbored this intention, wanting to eliminate Mr. Han the fifth. She asked regretfully, “Then why didn’t the exchange happen?”
Soone was coming over, and Gu Changqing waited for the person to pass before he continued, “Because he discovered your opponent is Han Shaoyu. This man is a collateral descendant of the Han family. His only shortcoming is his birth; he did not stay with the main family, but his strength is very formidable. He made his na in the underground martial arts arena, ranking among the top twenty masters.”
So that was the case.
Mr. Han the fifth planned to deal with Su Chen himself and let Han Shaoyu take care of Gu Jiao.
“That’s fine,” Gu Jiao said.
“It is indeed fine,” Gu Changqing agreed.
The two exchanged a knowing look.
“The new armor is good,” Gu Changqing remarked.
“Hmm,” Gu Jiao nodded.
On the battlefield, the sound of gongs signaled the beginning, and Gu Changqing, with his long sword in hand, charged on horseback towards his opponent, Yang Wu.
Nobody expected the first pair to be so formidable; Gu Changqing’s swordsmanship was supernatural, and Yang Wu’s broadsword was equally daunting.
Swords and sabers clashed, murderous intent filled the air, and dozens of moves passed in an instant.
Yang Wu’s martial arts were slightly inferior to his older brother, the head of the Yang family, but he still held a significant advantage over the younger generation with his robust internal energy and exquisite saber technique. The only aspect in which he was inferior to Gu Changqing was his mount.
Yet even this disadvantage was compensated for by his overwhelming internal energy.
Yang Wu arrogantly said, “Boy, you are no match for , surrender! Otherwise, swords and sabers have no eyes, and I fear you won’t have a whole corpse!”
Today’s duel was one where life and death agreents were signed, which ant killing was allowed.
The Yang family had long coveted the military power of the Han family and struck to kill whenever facing a mber of the Han family.
He swung his saber down fiercely, but Gu Changqing parried it with his sword.
Such trendous internal energy!
Sand flew and dust rose around them, and Gu Changqing’s mount was nearly unable to withstand Yang Wu’s internal energy.
If his mount suffered internal injuries, the subsequent duels would be dangerous.
Suddenly, Gu Changqing leaned back into a reclined position and grabbed Yang Wu’s saber with his free hand, thrusting his sword towards Yang Wu’s waist and abdon.
Yang Wu couldn’t withdraw his broadsword and could only use his other hand to deflect the edge of Gu Changqing’s blade.
Now is the mont!
Gu Changqing swept his long leg, kicking Yang Wu’s head with trendous force and violently knocking him off his horse!
Yang Wu fell from his horse and was eliminated!
The brilliance of the first match made the second one seem dull by comparison. The third match was the Taoist priest Qingfeng against the legitimate son of the Dong family.
Seeing Taoist priest Qingfeng in action excited the crowd once again.
However, Qingfeng had no interest in being watched; he defeated the legitimate son of the Dong family with a single move.
Everyone: “…”
Gu Jiao stroked her chin, “As expected of soone who can draw to a tie with Liao Chen, he is indeed very powerful.”
There was actually a substantial elent of luck involved in this round of selection; drawing opponents like Qingfeng ant almost certain defeat.
The legitimate son of the Dong family’s martial arts weren’t too high, but he was definitely not the weakest. At least in the next three matches, no one’s martial arts skills surpassed his.
As noon approached, it was ti for Gu Jiao and the King of Hei Fengqi to enter the arena.
The pair had left a profound impression on everyone the previous day, so from the start, everyone held high hopes for them.
Until—everyone saw Han Shaoyu riding in on Hei Fengqi.
“It’s Han Shaoyu! It’s really him!”
“Who is Han Shaoyu?”
“You don’t know Han Shaoyu? He is the only collateral family mber to live in the Han family’s main residence. He holds the position of Major in the Hei Fengqi, and he supervises the cavalry’s training on a daily basis.”
“He looks quite young.”
“Not yet twenty-four. Among the younger generation under the Han Crown Prince, he is the most accomplished despite his humble origins, which speaks volus about his personal excellence.”
“Then this Xiao Liulang is dood.”
“Yes, he’s unlucky. Of all the people, he had to face Han Shaoyu.”
People started to express their sympathy for Gu Jiao.
Even with the old King of Hei Fengqi, the gap between the youth and the genius master Han Shaoyu wasn’t sothing that could be bridged by a single horse.
What’s more, Han Shaoyu had participated in the training of the King of Hei Fengqi in the past, so it could be said that Han Shaoyu knew the King of Hei Fengqi very well.
