Chapter 45: Success

After the 10th move, I divided my hands into Shuimu's throat and heart. Shuimu came back and came back, and my hands followed my attack. I was happy and looked at the speed. He seemed to be faster than me no matter what, but I felt his arms tremble slightly, and his hands were shaken away from the original direction by him. In this way, my hand that was originally grasping his throat was higher than his head, while the other hand was sideways to his armpit. I felt my hands like two streams of water at the mercy of others, flowing along the passage that Shuimu had set up for me to the place where people wanted me to go...

The next moment, Shuimo's left hand had already grasped my neck, and my left hand was also held by his right hand. In an instant, I was cold from the beginning to the feet, and I realized that my martial arts were too far from the other party, and I couldn't help but have a rest of my thoughts.

I gave up struggling and looked to death, but the imagined heavy blow did not come. On the contrary, I felt Shui Mo's hand tremble slightly, as if it was a sign of soreness and weakness. When I opened my eyes, I saw him also staring at me, with a hint of helplessness and bitter smile in my eyes. Before I could think about it, the sword energy was revived. Unexpectedly, Shui Mo was shocked by me and flew down the steps, fell to the ground in depressed manner, and blood was falling on my hands and face. After a moment, I was shocked to find that although Shui Mo's martial arts were high, there was no sword energy at all!

This unexpected joy came too suddenly. A large number of guards shouted and killed each other in the distance and rushed over. I rushed into the bedroom and patrolled around. As expected, there was no one here. On the table on the side, Zhu Xiaofeng's jade pendant was shining. I picked it up with one hand and walked out of the door. Shuimu struggled to sit up, and smiled bitterly: "My other secret is also broken by the donor."

At this time, countless guards surrounded the bedroom with lanterns and torches. When they saw a strange man standing outside the bedroom gate, they were all scared to death. Someone shouted: "Emperor!" But no one dared to act rashly, and then heard a sharp voice suddenly said: "Emperor is here!"

Two eunuchs were the first to open the way, and a group of people surrounded Zhu Xiaofeng and walked slowly. Eunuch Li ran around and served him. The sound he had just called.

When the guards saw the emperor appear, they knelt down with a loud bang, shouting long live the mountain, and a joy arose. Huang Yifei barely struggled from the ground, staggered in front of Zhu Xiaofeng, and hissed: "Emperor, danger!"

Zhu Xiaofeng pushed him away, stepped alone to the steps, and raised his head and said, "Brother, it seems you have succeeded?"

I walked down the steps and handed the jade pendant to him: "Prince, please check it out." Huang Yifei saw my face clearly at this time and said in surprise: "It's you?"

Zhu Xiaofeng held the jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it carefully. Looking at the mess all over the ground, he seemed to have no idea what to say for a moment. Huang Yifei walked forward two steps, but looking at our expressions, he also guessed that there must be a reason for this. He dared not be arrogant and stood on the side. Zhu Xiaofeng reached out to help Shui Mo up and said with concern: "Master, isn't it okay?" Shui Mo smiled faintly: "No, thank you for your concern." He nodded to me, then stood aside, with a calm expression, as if waiting for Zhu Xiaofeng's explanation. Zhu Xiaofeng held my hand and said to Shui Mo with a happy look: "Master, I will introduce you to you. This is Shi Cundao's little grandson Shi Dizai."

Shuimu said with all his heart: "It turns out that he is the handsome man, so he will be lucky." But he obviously didn't want to listen to this.

Zhu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You two have met."

Shui Mo said: "Yes, Xiao Shi's donor has great martial arts skills and strong sword energy. There seems to be no one on the entire continent who is better than him."

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "How about comparing with Su Jing from his daughter's country?"

Shui Mo said: "Su Jing should be less than Xiaoshi's donor."

Zhu Xiaofeng said in surprise: "Master, do you think this is true?"

Shuimo said: "I'm also guessing, but most of it."

Zhu Xiaofeng laughed and raised my hand to everyone below and said, "I have something to announce: The General Shi in front of you is the new sword god. From then on, our Honglie Empire will also have its own sword god!"

As soon as this said, the guards were shocked. Huang Yifei fought with me, but he was not so surprised. He just changed his face and changed his color. He stared at me for a long time and couldn't speak.

Shuimu pointed to the door of the bedroom that was defeated by me and said, "But I don't know this is..."

Zhu Xiaofeng said, "Oh, this is a small joke between me and Deputy Commander Huang. Commander Huang's subordinates are known as the God-Binding Guard. I want to see if they can bind General Xiao Shi, the god. We have to say first. This jade pendant represents me--" Zhu Xiaofeng held the jade pendant and suddenly turned cold, and he said slowly, "If someone really came to assassinate me, my head would no longer be on my neck!"

Huang Yifei's face was pale when he heard this, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud and said, "I am incompetent, please punish the emperor."

I said aside: "Your Majesty, you can't blame Commander Huang for this matter. The reason why I was successful was a lucky person. The God-Binding Guard is worthy of his reputation!"

Zhu Xiaofeng waved his hand and said to Huang Yifei: "Get up, I don't mean to blame you. You just want to restrain yourself in the future. Think more about whether the three words "Binding God Guard" deserve their reputation. Don't just be complacent."

Huang Yifei kowtowed twice on the ground, then he got up tremblingly and quietly gave me a grateful glance. I just said that it was not to please him, but only I knew the inside story here. If Su Jing hadn't come with me today, I wouldn't have even passed the Political Affairs Hall.

At this time, the guards who were shocked by Su Jing slowly woke up, and the God-Binding Guards in front of the Political Consultative Hall, who were defeated by me and her along the way, supported each other and came to the front of the bedroom. After hearing the reason for the incident, they looked at each other and were speechless. Fortunately, the emperor was worried, and they all knelt down on the steps of the bedroom and apologized.

When Zhu Xiaofeng saw that his men were in a mess, he initially felt depressed. Later, he felt relieved and said to me: "I am very happy that a talent like a state-owned virtuous brother has won millions of soldiers."

Someone counted that 16 people in the God-Binding Guard were slightly injured, and 83 of the guards were still unconscious, but they had no worries about their lives. After hearing this, Zhu Xiaofeng said loudly: "All the people below are up. You are not only innocent but also have meritorious. Although you have failed in this battle, your loyalty is expressive and everyone is rewarded."

Everyone praised Xie Bi and stood up one after another, looking at me with nervousness, Zhu Xiaofeng cursed and said, "You don't know the ungrateful thing, why don't you thank General Xiao Shi? If it weren't for his mercy, wouldn't you be wronged if you died?"

Everyone thought it was right, and then they bowed to me in a mess and thanked me in a mess. The guards had low martial arts skills and only played soy sauce in this competition. Zhu Xiaofeng's reasoning was easy to understand. Their lives had long been sold to the royal family. The emperor had to accompany him. I really wanted their lives to die in vain. So when I turned around, they were grateful to me. But the mind of the God-Binding Guard was different. I made them look very embarrassed in front of the emperor. They dared not blame Zhu Xiaofeng, and they couldn't help but take their anger on me, so most of them still glared at me. I had no good feelings for them, so I just pretended not to see them.

Shuimo said: "General Xiao Shi is kind-hearted. He takes into account the lives of soldiers and cannot do whatever he wants. If it weren't for this, he should have got the jade pendant for him long ago."

Huang Yifei felt even more ashamed when he heard this, and lowered his head and said nothing.

I hurriedly said, "You don't have to be humble. You've passed this level and I was frightened. If it weren't..." When I said this, I suddenly didn't know what to say. I still can't understand why Monk Shuimo's martial arts are so high but has no sword energy. Could it be that he is also a waste body that cannot cultivate sword energy? But if that happens, it would be impossible to practice such high martial arts. Moreover, he seems to be familiar with the use of sword energy. A person who can command the God-Binding Guard as if he is armed and hand-to-hand, must not know anything about sword energy.

Shuimo took my words and smiled: "If I hadn't finally found out that I was a flowery air without sword energy, General Xiao Shi would have really taken some money."

I said, "More than that, as long as you are at the level of a swordsman, I will definitely not be able to beat you."

Seeing that we were sympathetic, Zhu Xiaofeng shook us back and let us go into the bedroom, asked someone to serve tea, and asked me, "Brother, there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth, how about the God-Binding Guard?"

I said sincerely: "It's very awesome. Just four people almost made me feel embarrassed. If the sword energy wasn't a little weak, I would have really restrained it for them."

Zhu Xiaofeng nodded and said with a smile: "Then do you know who teaches them martial arts on weekdays?"

If he asked this before, I would definitely not be able to answer it, but today this question is not difficult at all. Who else can be there in the world besides ink? I looked at the ink and the ink smiled and said, "It makes General Xiao Shi laugh."

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, it's Master of Ink." Ink is indeed the head coach of the God-Binding Guard.

I finally couldn't help but ask the question: "The master is so skilled in martial arts, why didn't he practice sword energy?"

Shuimo said: "A serious illness more than 20 years ago, all the sword energy was destroyed."

I sighed, "What a pity." Shuimo said, "It's not a pity, it was nothing more than a newcomer at that time."

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "Don't listen to him being modest. 20 years ago, Master Ink was already at the level of the Sword Saint!"

"Ah?" I was surprised and said, "Twenty years ago, wasn't the master just in his early 40s?"

Zhu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Yes, people say that there is no sword saint on the mainland who is no more than 60 years old. Who knows that there has been a 40-year-old sword saint in my Honglie Empire."

I have no doubt about this at all. Shui Mo's martial arts must have unique talents. It is common sense to say that he was promoted to the Sword Saint at the age of 40. I even thought that Su Jingtian was always hardworking, but she may not have the same cultivation level as him when she reached Shui Mo's age.

I hurriedly asked, "What disease did the master have?"

Shuimu smiled indifferently: "It's better not to mention it - at that time, all my sword energy was dispersed, but my obsession with the heroes of the world remained unchanged. I focused on studying the novelty of moves. It was not until I comprehended Buddhism 10 years ago that I found peace and joy and no distractions." It turned out that Shuimu was not a monk before, so he naturally did not call him Shuimu, but I didn't ask much about specific matters.

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "That is, 10 years ago, Master Shuishing began to teach the God-Binding Guard. The master was indifferent to fame and fortune and never showed up in the palace. People in the world only knew how powerful the God-Binding Guard was, but they didn't know where this strength came from."
