539. Chapter 539 The first step of the trial
"Ding-deng-deng..."
This knock on the door was neither light nor heavy, rhythmic but not noisy. It fully demonstrated the etiquette and polite attitude of the person outside the door.
Xia Huang walked over and opened the door. As expected, standing outside the door was none other than Liu Qi's fourth son and the fourth master of the Liu family - Liu Liangnian!
Behind Liu Liangnian, there was a strong man with a good figure. There was obviously a bit of dissatisfaction on the strong man's face. As soon as the door opened, he looked at Xia Huang with hostile eyes.
"You three, can I come in and sit down?" Liu Liangnian said with a smile.
At this moment, his attitude toward Xia Huang and the three of them was kind and enthusiastic, which was completely different from when they first met in front of the Liu Mansion.
"You are the master of this place, we are just guests. Of course you can come in if you want." Xia Huang gave in slightly.
Liu Liangnian walked into the room and sat down on the seat to the right of Chi Lian. He glanced at Chi Lian and Zhu Chongwu curiously, but still couldn't see their faces hidden by their hoods. However, he didn't look more.
They were afraid that such rude behavior would offend Chi Lian and Zhu Chongwu's "hometown customs".
He is still thinking about winning over these three powerful distinguished guests, and of course he will not create unnecessary unpleasantness for such a trivial matter.
"Three of you, our Liu family has not entertained foreign guests for a long time. If there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me." Liu Liangnian's opening remarks were very polite.
"The three of us are used to being casual, Fourth Master, you don't have to worry." Xia Huang deliberately used the honorific, "The three of us have just parted with you, Fourth Master, and now you are here again, I don't know if you have any advice.
?”
Hearing Xia Huang call him "Fourth Master", Liu Liangnian was obviously overjoyed and couldn't help grinning: "I am here to make a personal request. I hope you, Master of Jinghong Sword, can agree to it."
"Oh? Fourth Master, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"The guard behind me is a guard who has followed me for many years. He can be considered a master of the Guiyuan Realm after all. As a guard, I am good at everything, but I am too arrogant. I heard that you, Master of Jinghong Sword, are here. I am very
I want to come over and spar with you. He has been following me for many years, and I couldn’t bear to be harsh, so I complied with his wishes. I wonder if you, Lord Jinghong Sword Master, are willing to waste a little time sparring with me, a bodyguard?"
Upon hearing Liu Liangnian's "private request", Xia Huang understood that this was Liu Liangnian's test of him even without asking for Zhu Chongwu's opinion!
Liu Liangnian hoped to use a competition to verify the strength of his "Jinghong Sword Master" and see if he could help him and Liu Liangfeng in their inheritance struggle!
Since it was a test, Xia Huang naturally couldn't refuse and immediately nodded: "Of course. I wonder what you, Fourth Master, are good at as a bodyguard?"
"sword!"
"Sword?" Xia Huang was stunned and looked at the strong man following Liu Liangnian again.
This kind of burly figure, like a black bear, is actually a sword cultivator?! With such an appearance, if he is a physical cultivator, or a cultivator who specializes in certain types of heavy weapons, Xia Huang feels that it is easier for him to believe it.
When the strong man saw Xia Huang sizing him up, he immediately took a step forward and said arrogantly: "My name is Liu Ram, please give me advice from the master of Jinghong Sword!"
"Don't take advice seriously, it's just a discussion." Xia Huang recovered from the shock and said modestly with a smile.
"Let's go out and compete." The strong man named Liu Mang looked at Xia Huang with doubts in his eyes.
He didn't believe that Xia Huang was a strong man at all! In his opinion, Xia Huang was just a lucky man who got one of the seven ancient swords!
"You don't have to go out, you can just stay here." Xia Huang said in surprise.
"Here? If we attack at will, everything in this room will be completely destroyed. How can we compete here?!"
"Liu Mang, since His Majesty the Master of Jinghong Sword said to compete here, then let's compete here!" Liu Liangnian interjected, "It doesn't matter even if you demolish this house. You can build this kind of house as much as you want.
Don’t worry about how much.”
Xia Huang looked at Liu Liangnian and then Liu Mang with a faint smile. His smile was filled with an unfathomable meaning: "Don't worry, even if we compete here, nothing will be damaged. If anything is really damaged,
, I will compensate you Liu family ten times."
"Then just wait and pay!" Liu Yang sneered, a yellow light flashed in his right hand, and a huge yellow long sword was already in his hand.
This yellow long sword seemed to be specially customized for Liu Yang. It was much longer and wider than ordinary swords. At least, Xia Huang had never seen such a huge long sword. Liu Yang was holding this kind of sword and was in a daze.
It gave Xia Huang an illusion - as if what he was holding was not a sword, but a yellow door panel! Only this kind of long sword could match Liu Mang's burly body!
"The sword is good, quite big."
It was hard to tell whether Xia Huang's words were a compliment or a mockery, but in Liu Yang's opinion, Xia Huang was mocking him!
"Draw your sword!"
"No need." Xia Huang made up his mind, and his tone became calmer, "If you want me to draw my sword, you must first have the ability to threaten me."
"Arrogant!" Liu Mang was so angry at Xia Huang that he grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands at the same time, raised the sword to raise his energy, as if he wanted to chop Xia Huang into two pieces like wood!
The moment Liu Mang raised his sword, Xia Huang's soul, who had been prepared for a long time, communicated with Jinghong and Kuangyang swords at the same time. Although his hands did not move, his sword intention was instantly raised to the extreme! It was far superior to ordinary swords.
The coercion created by Xiu's kendo realm was completely released by Xia Huang at this moment!
Neither Liu Liangnian, nor Chi Lian, nor Zhu Chongwu could feel this kind of majesty that was completely directed at sword cultivators.
But as a sword cultivator, Liu Mang's expression changed dramatically the moment Xia Huang's pressure broke out!
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the sword in his hand was countless times heavier, so heavy that he could not swing it freely! He felt that the sword in his hand was shaking, which was the sword conveying its fear to him!
Yes, the sword is afraid. The sword is afraid of the man sitting calmly in front of him! It is a kind of fear that he does not dare to be his enemy at all!
It feels like a minister facing his own king!
It's like walking on thin ice in an abyss!
"What...what is going on?! You...you you you you..." The feeling of the sword was transmitted to Liu Mang's body and affected his soul. Big beads of sweat ran down his cheeks.
The rain came down and soaked his clothes in just a few breaths.
After struggling for a moment, Liu Mang could no longer support himself. He suddenly knelt down on his knees and pierced the ground with his sword. His whole figure seemed to be hanging on the sword, embarrassed and powerless.
At this moment, he had lost the courage and strength to fight against Xia Huang.
