Chereads / The Road to Emperor Shenwu / Chapter 72 - Provocative

Chapter 72 - Provocative

Zhang Ruochen jumped off the Blood Feather Eagle's back, and saw four vigorous characters engraved on the cliff to the south of Baishi Square, "Western Academy Martial Arts Field."

Each word, seven meters long, goes deep into the stone wall, and contains a powerful sword intent.

It seems to be an extremely strong man who used a sword to carve the words on the stone wall.

"The person who engraved these four words must have cultivated the sword intent to the state of clear sword heart." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

Zhang Ruochen is now at the high-level realm of the sword following his heart. Only when he breaks through this realm can he achieve the clarity of the sword.

It is by no means an easy task to reach the realm of Jianxin's enlightenment. Many peerless masters in the celestial realm can't cultivate to the sword heart.

In other words, if a warrior of the extreme heaven can reach the state of clear sword heart, then he is definitely considered a strong one among the warriors of extreme heaven.

"This year, in Yunwu Commandery, there are only a few people who have come to take the exam for Wushi Academy?" A discordant voice sounded.

A valiant young man came over, seeing Zhang Ruochen, Liu Chenfeng, Zi Qian and other young warriors from Yunwu Commandery, he had a mocking smile on his face.

A rather burly young warrior from Yunwu Commandery was very annoyed, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

That heroic young man smiled and said: "Sifang Commandery, Shen Mengxi. Shen has no other intentions, but feels that the young warriors of Yunwu Commandery are not as good as each year."

"What did you say?"

The young warriors of Yunwu Commandery showed angry expressions and surrounded Shen Mengxi.

Shen Mengxi looked very calm, still with a smile on his face: "Could it be that Shen is wrong? The young warriors in Yunwu County are not as good as each year. Last year, there were at least a hundred people from Yunwu County to take the exam. , there are only sixty or so people left this year, not even one-tenth of our Sifang Commandery. Haha!"

That burly young martial artist said coldly: "How dare you insult our young martial artist from Yunwu County? I want to challenge you and beat you to the ground with my own hands."

"Okay! If you can catch my three moves, I will immediately take back what I just said." Shen Mengxi laughed.

"Three tricks? Damn, you dare to underestimate me like this, I will definitely make you regret it."

The burly young martial artist roared, the true energy in his body flowed rapidly, and flowed to his arms along with the meridians.

In an instant, the arms of the burly young warrior turned red, emitting a faint heat wave.

The burly young warrior rushed out suddenly, fisted with five fingers, and punched out, hitting the air with a "pop" sound.

A young martial artist was slightly moved, and said: "Jiang Heng reached the early stage of the Black Realm three years ago, and his true energy is quite strong. Moreover, he has cultivated the Fire Dragon Fist to the stage of Xiaocheng, even if he is in the middle stage of the Black Realm. Warriors can fight for more than ten rounds."

The name of that burly young warrior was Jiang Heng.

You must know that the young warriors who came to take the examination of the Wushi Academy are all under the age of thirty. Therefore, more than 70% of the martial artists' cultivation bases are in the early stages of the Black Realm. The remaining 30% of warriors are almost all monks in the middle stage of the Black Realm.

As for the warriors in the late stages of the Black Realm and the lower extremes of the Black Realm, there are very few of them.

Of the sixty-seven young warriors in Yunwu Commandery, there is only one late-stage Black Realm and one low-end Black Realm.

That young martial artist at the lowest level of the Black Realm is naturally Zi Qian.

Another martial artist in the late stage of the Xuanji Realm, who has reached the age of twenty-nine, has almost no chance to become a student of the Wushi Academy. Because he is too old, it is impossible to reach the extreme earth before the age of thirty.

If the outer palace disciples of the Wushi Academy cannot reach the extreme state before the age of thirty, they will not be able to continue to practice in the Wushi Academy.

Shen Mengxi of the Sifang Commandery is also at the beginning of the Xuanji Realm, but his combat power is actually even higher than that of Jiang Heng.

With a wave of his arm, a wave of zhenqi saber was slashed, hitting Jiang Heng's chest.

"Boom!"

Jiang Heng screamed, flew upside down, and fell heavily to the ground.

There was a three-foot-long bloody opening on his chest, and even two of his tendons were broken, and crimson blood kept gushing out from the wound.

With just one move, Jiang Heng was seriously injured, and he will definitely not be able to participate in tomorrow's school exam.

"Haha! It's really disappointing that the young masters of Yunwu Commandery couldn't catch even one of my master's moves." Shen Mengxi laughed.

Those young warriors from Sifang Commandery all laughed when they saw Shen Mengxi severely wounding a young warrior from Yunwu Commandery with just one move.

"Last year, only three people from Yunwu Commandery were admitted to the Wushi Academy, and I'm afraid there will be none this year."

"With Shen Mengxi's strength, he should be able to defeat everyone in Yunwu Commandery."

"According to this development trend, it won't be long before Yunwu County will be annexed by our Sifang County. Meh."

Zhang Ruochen walked up to Jiang Heng, took out a healing elixir, Sheng Nie Dan, and took it for him.

Sheng Nie Dan is a second-grade healing elixir, which is quite powerful. Although it is impossible to restore Jiang Heng's two broken meridians, it can quickly restore his trauma. As long as the meridians in the body are not completely cut off, they can still be reconnected slowly.

After taking Sheng Nie Dan, Jiang Heng's face became more bloody, and he said very gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince."

"It's okay, it's just a pill." Zhang Ruochen smiled lightly, and helped Jiang Heng up from the ground.

"Nine princes? This year, among the candidates of Yunwu County, there is actually a prince. It's great!"

Shen Mengxi's eyes immediately lit up when he heard Jiang Heng's words. He looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, "I have heard about the name of the royal family's treasure book "Innate Skills" in Yunwu County. Extreme state, must have practiced "Innate Skill", I wonder if His Royal Highness Ninth Prince can give some pointers?"

Seeing that Shen Mengxi was about to provoke Zhang Ruochen, Elder Xie, who was standing on the edge of the martial field in the West Court, frowned slightly, wanting to stop it.

After all, Zhang Ruochen is the prince of Yunwu Commandery, and his status is much higher than that of Jiang Heng. If he was severely injured before the exam, Wushi Xuegong must be responsible.

Elder Situ stopped Elder Xie, and said with a smile, "Why do we need to interfere in the martial arts competition between young people?"

Elder Situ is the guide of the candidates from the Sifang County and the country. He has a good relationship with the Sifang County and the country, so he is naturally helping the Sifang County to speak.

The more young warriors from the Sifang Commandery enter the Wushi Academy, the more rewards the guides will receive from the Wushi Academy.

Therefore, every time the Wushi Academy takes an exam, not only the candidates from various counties and countries are competing with each other, but also every guide is also competing.

Elder Xie was a little displeased, and said: "He is the prince of Yunwu County, if something goes wrong before the exam, do you think the king of Yunwu County will let it go?"

"Elder Xie, you are overthinking and nothing will happen. If something happens, how about I take responsibility?" Elder Situ laughed.

"snort!"

Elder Xie snorted coldly, then retreated.

Elder Xie didn't want to offend Elder Situ, because Elder Situ's cultivation was a realm higher than his. Since Elder Situ has said what happened and he is responsible, Elder Xie will naturally give him face.

"The young warriors in Yunwu Commandery are indeed too weak. I'm afraid there are not many of them who can match Shen Mengxi." Elder Xie glanced at Zhang Ruochen and shook his head slightly.

Reaching the Black Realm at the age of sixteen, the talent is not low, but unfortunately it is still too young, there is no way to compare with Shen Mengxi, and he will definitely lose.

"Since Shen Mengxi knows his identity, he probably won't hit him hard. At most, he will just defeat and humiliate him, so as to destroy the confidence of the young warriors in Yunwu Commandery." Elder Xie thought in his heart, and sighed again. One sound.

Seeing Shen Mengxi asking Zhang Ruochen for advice, all the young warriors in Sifang County laughed, thinking that Shen Mengxi would definitely win.

Prince Huo Xing of Sifang County stood in the center of the martial field with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Shen Mengxi, if you can defeat the Ninth Prince of Yunwu County within three moves, this prince will reward you with a real weapon! "

"Why do you need three moves? Just one move is enough."

Shen Mengxi decided to perform well in front of Prince Huo Xing, stared at Zhang Ruochen again, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, you also heard just now that if Shen defeats you within three moves, he will get a piece of real martial arts!" Treasures. Therefore, in the next battle, Shen will go all out, if there is something to offend..."

Zhang Ruochen interrupted Shen Mengxi and said, "Shen Mengxi, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I never said I would fight you."

Shen Mengxi was taken aback for a moment, then came back to her senses, and smiled inwardly, "This Ninth Prince is capable of bending and stretching. He has seen my powerful cultivation just now, so he must not dare to fight me, so he took the initiative to escape. If you want to escape, what can I do?" Maybe let you go?"

Before Shen Mengxi could continue to speak, Zhang Ruochen said again: "It's not the school exam yet, you injured a martial artist from Yunwu Commandery, you have to pay for medical expenses. I won't blackmail you, you take out 30,000 silver coins to compensate Jiang Heng. I won't pursue this matter!"

For a very reasonable price, Zhang Ruochen neither asked for more nor less.

Shen Mengxi was stunned again.

This Ninth Prince is joking, right?

All the young warriors in Sifang County laughed out loud, looking at Zhang Ruochen like a fool. His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is too naive!

Liu Chengfeng stood up and scolded: "Shen Mengxi, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince asked you to take out the compensation of 30,000 silver coins. Are you going to take it? If you don't take it out, believe it or not, your leg will be broken?"

Thirty thousand silver coins, almost all of Shen Mengxi's wealth, how could it be possible to take it out?

Shen Mengxi knew that Liu Chengfeng used to be a warrior on the Huangbang list, and he was definitely not his opponent, so he stared at Zhang Ruochen again, sneered, and said, "The prince of Yunwu County is just a turtle with a shrunken head, and he won't even fight me. I don't even have the courage to do so, it's really embarrassing to King Yunwu."

Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.

Liu Chengfeng showed a hint of a smile, and said, "Shen Mengxi, you are too shameless. Even if you fight against me, you will lose. You still want to fight His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

Shen Mengxi said mockingly: "Okay! If His Royal Highness Ninth Prince can win me, I will immediately hand over 30,000 silver coins to the injured martial artist from Yunwu Commandery and apologize to him. If His Royal Highness Ninth Prince loses, hehe, strong How can the weak apologize to the weak? Do you think so?"

"Shen Mengxi is right, the strong cannot apologize to the weak."

"If the Ninth Prince doesn't even have the courage to fight, he'd better go back to Yunwu County King's Palace to nurse! Haha!"

All the warriors from Sifang Commandery followed suit, trying to force Zhang Ruochen to make a move. If the Ninth Prince of Yunwu Commandery was beaten into a pig's head by Shen Mengxi, it would definitely be quite interesting.
