Chapter 1017: The one who earns a salary for everyone
Probably everyone in the world will understand one thing as a matter of course, that is, there is no guarantee that there will be victory when there are more people versus fewer people.
Especially in the place where there are few people, there are people with high enough realms.
But people tend to believe what they want to believe at certain times.
Just like now, when this group of monks who had been waiting here for a long time finally arrived and saw him vomiting blood at first, they no longer doubted whether it was possible for them to kill this young man.
Young people who have a big hatred against them.
At this moment, in their eyes, there is only such thing as revenge. As for the general trend of the world other than revenge, the survival of the human race is not important to them.
In other words, if they had this understanding from the beginning, then they probably wouldn't be where they are now.
However, no matter how seriously injured Chen Chao was, the young Fuyun Realm's foundation was still there, and it was never easy to kill him.
An ordinary pig-killing knife, in the young man's hand, seemed to be holding the sharpest knife in the world. Of course, the really sharpest knife in the world was actually at his waist.
A monk finally squeezed in front of Chen Chao. Seeing that Chen Chao's sword did not hit him, the man was overjoyed and wondered whether this young man who was already sick would finally be unable to hold on at this moment.
Live? Next, it’s time for a powerless tiger to be eaten by wolves!
But as soon as he had this idea, he watched helplessly as the young man raised his knife and slashed off one of his arms. Before the arm fell to the ground, the blade of the butcher knife followed the trend.
So half of his head was cut open.
Then the young man who looked like he might collapse at any time reached out and pushed his lifeless body away, and then faced the other monks.
After that, monks continued to fall.
But everyone could see that from that moment on, the young man's movements became even slower.
When the manpower was limited, it was even more unreasonable to say that this young man had actually had a life-and-death battle with a figure like the Demon Emperor before. It is self-evident how serious his injuries were.
At this moment, dozens of lives have been wasted, and this young man's injuries have worsened, and the fuel has been exhausted. In fact, no matter what, it can be justified.
as expected.
After another half an hour, the young man's swings with the knife failed more and more often, and he was even unable to stand still on the spot, but took several steps back.
Originally, this group of monks were already a little timid, but seeing this scene, they instantly regained their strength. The most difficult thing about walking a hundred steps is often not the first few steps, but the last few steps.
At that time, it is actually easiest to give up.
It's just that Chen Chao was quite helpless. If he could hold it, he would of course hold it, but at this moment, his body seemed to be really unable to hold it.
Just take a few steps back and give yourself a breather.
He lowered his head and glanced at the butcher's knife in his hand, which had a curled blade. The young man smiled. A butcher's knife was perfect for killing these pigs and dogs.
After half an hour, the monks' offensive became more and more fierce, but for some reason, no one was able to leave even a single wound on the young man's body.
That young man who has already proven to the world that he is not easy to kill is really not easy to kill!
The whole street here is full of corpses, and it seems that there are only five or six monks left.
Chen Chao was forced to the side of the street, with a long, heavy solid wood table behind him. He placed one hand on it to support his body, and raised his hand with great effort to shake off the blood on the blade.
Then he raised the butcher knife, looked at the people present, and said with a smile, "Continue?"
The five or six people looked at each other, seemed to have made up their minds, and rushed towards Chen Chao.
A quarter of an hour later, the last person fell in a pool of blood, a headless corpse. As for the butcher's knife, it was stuck in that person's neck, and Chen Chao didn't bother to pull it out.
Watching the corpse fall, Chen Chao leaned on the table behind him, moved his body with great effort, and sat on it.
Then the young man, who was pale and had blood on the hem, cuffs and chest of his black shirt, said tiredly, "You're here, why don't you come out?"
As Chen Chao finished speaking, three figures appeared at the end of the long street. Among them were two Taoists, one wearing green and one white Taoist robes, each of them different.
But the aura is very mysterious, as if he has already crossed the threshold of the Taoist sect.
As for the other person, he was a thin young man. He held a horizontal knife in his arms and deliberately put some distance between himself and the two Taoists.
Chen Chao looked at the thin man with great interest, feeling the strong energy and blood in his body, and squinted his eyes. Although the thin man looked unremarkable, hidden in his seemingly ordinary body seemed to be...
The vitality and blood of an ancient ferocious beast were probably not much weaker than those of the Chen Dynasty when they were both in the Wangyou realm.
Chen Chao has never seen anything like this.
You know, the best people in the world probably all work for Daliang. Fangwai is not taken seriously at all. There are naturally not many in number, and even less powerful ones.
Before, Chen Wannian was already the number one person on Fangwai's board, but at this moment, Chen Chao felt the aura of the person in front of him and felt that at this moment, if the two of them were to fight, 80% of the time they would still be like this.
People will be better than Chen Wannian.
When Chen Chao was sizing up this thin man, actually this thin young man was also sizing up Chen Chao.
"Are you Chen Chao?"
The young man spoke as if he had said nonsense.
If he hadn't been Chen Chao, would he have needed to mobilize so many troops?
Chen Chao looked at the young man with a smile and answered this nonsense seriously, "It's me."
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Let me tell you first, I have no grudge against you, so I am not here to seek revenge from you. I just heard people say that you are not only the strongest in the world, but also the most powerful swordsman in the world. I have some
I don’t believe it, so I want to try it.”
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Since you want to give it a try, why do you want to come again when I am injured?"
The young man rolled his eyes and said somewhat matter-of-factly, "You are so advanced. How can I be your opponent when you are not injured? If I find you when you are not injured at all, is it possible that you will really put me at a disadvantage?"
In a fight, I think you must rely on your realm to slap me to death."
Chen Chao smiled and did not refute. Although if this was the case, it would definitely not be like that, but now, it is actually unrealistic for him to fight with others casually.
However, if before, Chen Chao would probably have made a bet with the young man in front of him to fight in the same situation. If he lost, he would work for Daliang.
This kind of battle will win Daliang a Wangyou, which is actually not a loss.
Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "Even if I don't want to fight you at this moment, what can you do?"
The thin young man held the horizontal knife and looked at Chen Chao with some surprise and curiosity, "Then I will kill you, why don't you fight back?"
Chen Chao laughed dumbly and then looked at the two Taoists.
"Have the two real people made up their mind not to take action in a hurry?"
The Taoist wearing a green robe said calmly, "Since he wants to fight with the guardian envoy, we can just wait for a while. Anyway, the guardian envoy is here and can't leave. If the guardian envoy is unlucky, poor Taoist."
There is no need to bear the charge of killing the guardian envoy."
Chen Chao raised his hand, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, he is indeed a real person. What he said is sincere. I can't even find the words to refute."
The thin young man glanced at the two Taoists with some disgust, "If they didn't insist on killing you, I definitely wouldn't come here now, but since they want to kill you, if I don't fight you, I won't be able to do anything with you in the future.
Opportunity."
Chen Chao shook his head and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If I really want to die, it is better to die in your hands than in the hands of those guys from the Taoist sect."
After being silent for a while, Chen Chao looked at the young man and said, "I wanted to ask your name, but since you are here to kill me, it's not easy to ask, lest the court trace you later."
The thin young man sneered, "My lord, the Guardian, you are here now, and you are still trying to figure out what to do with these words. Although I have no grudge against you, I don't like you at all. You are the best in civility and the second in martial arts."
It’s not like you don’t know the truth, if you don’t die, how can we people get ahead?”
Chen Chao said oh and stopped talking.
Then Chen Chao just waved to this thin young man.
The latter pulled out the horizontal knife in his arms, but did not see Chen Chao lift the knife.
"Where's your Yunni? It's said to be the only knife that Jianqi Mountain has built over the years. The handle of the knife turns white with blood, and turns black again after blood dissipates. When you die, I want that knife."
The thin young man narrowed his eyes. He also loved knives, so he was naturally very interested in the knife that was rumored to be the sharpest in the world.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "If you can really kill me, that knife will naturally be yours, but you don't seem to have the right to see it now."
The thin young man was not annoyed, but took the initiative and said, "Remember, Lord Guardian, my name is Huang Kong. After today, I should have a place in the world of martial arts."
He is not afraid that his name will be known, and he is ready to go all the way to the end in martial arts.
When Huang Kong was talking, Chen Chao had already jumped off the table, then reached out and pulled out the butcher's knife from the corpse.
Glancing at the blade, the young man frowned slightly, then reached out and wiped it.
The curled edge on the blade is smoothed out, and the butcher's knife becomes a sharp butcher's knife again.
He casually held a sword in his hand, and Chen Chao was very satisfied.
But Huang Kong's expression was ugly. He stared at the confirmed number one person in front of him and asked, "Are you going to fight me with a butcher's knife?"
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes, knowing what Huang Kong meant, but he just casually said, "Very good, that's enough."
Huang Kong's eyes were full of murderous intent at this moment. If he had some respect for Chen Chao before, he no longer had it from now on.
He only wanted to tear the young man in front of him into pieces.
Chen Chao noticed his emotional changes, but said nothing.
He just held the butcher's knife and looked at the two Taoists over there.
yellow
At this moment, Sora had begun to run forward on the street. The moment the thin young man ran forward, his aura began to climb continuously, as if there was an ancient ferocious beast. In an instant, he had completely
Break through the shackles of the body and come to the human world.
On a long street, the wind suddenly surged.
The terrifying air waves blew against the buildings on both sides, and even more so against the young man standing in the middle of the street.
Huang Kong's figure keeps moving forward, and every time he moves forward, he will leave a strong aura of energy on the street.
And as he moves forward, those rich energy will gather on him again, so a strange spectacle will soon appear on the long street.
It was a stream of light that was as powerful as a sword cultivator's sword energy, but the trajectory of the energy within it was definitely not as good as that of a sword cultivator.
Chen Chao quietly looked at the stream of light. With his eyesight, he could naturally see the difference in the yellow air machine. No wonder he had such surging energy and blood.
This is the difference between Huang Kong and ordinary ones.
But that’s it.
Chen Chao held the butcher knife and faced Huang Kong who was coming to kill him.
Huang Kong held the horizontal knife in his hand and slashed it down in the air. The blade tore away the surrounding aura, carrying an extremely terrifying aura all the way down.
Until I met the butcher knife.
Chen Chao held up the butcher's knife and blocked Huang Kong's blow.
There was a soft crisp sound, and the two knives collided. No one of the knives was disconnected, it just made such a sound.
Chen Chao looked at the young man in front of him who wanted to pull him down so that he could stand out in the martial arts. He just shook his head and said with regret, "Too slow."
…
…
Lu's caravan left Longjiao County and walked about ten miles. The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. Lu Qingling rode her horse to Lao Zhao and said straight to the point, "Lao Zhao, has that young man told you his story?"
identity?"
Lao Zhao didn't expect that his boss would suddenly ask such a question, but he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know his identity, but he taught me several boxing techniques. I always... felt that he should have an extraordinary background, at least in this world."
He has some considerable attainments in martial arts, and even those boxing techniques, I doubt he invented them himself!"
Lu Qingling frowned, her expression unnatural.
"Master, what happened?"
If it were anyone else, Lao Zhao probably wouldn't care too much, but this person is Chen Chao, so Lao Zhao is a little concerned about it. He remembers that kindness clearly and will never forget it.
Lu Qingling frowned and said, "I finally remembered. No wonder he is so familiar. It turns out that I have seen his portrait before, but now that he is too seriously injured and sick, I didn't recognize him for a while!"
Lao Zhao was confused.
Lu Qingling said bluntly, "That young man, the young man who taught you the boxing skills, will not be anyone else, but our young guardian envoy."
As if Lao Zhao was struck by lightning, his whole body instantly stayed on his horse?
That sickly guy, is he the envoy of the Liang Dynasty?
Did he ever personally teach his boxing skills?
Each of these incidents left Lao Zhao speechless.
So shocked.
I don't know how long it took before Lao Zhao came back to his senses and asked with some uncertainty, "Boss, is this true?"
Lu Qingling nodded and said, "It's right. The appearance, the demeanor, and even the fact that he knows my younger brother, and the injuries are all right."
Lao Zhao took a deep breath, slapped his thigh, and frowned. What a pity!
He said he wanted to marry his own daughter? You know, his own daughter was thinking about it every day, it would be great if she could marry that young guardian envoy in this life.
Although it is definitely a joke, there is really some dignity in saying it!
"But he may be in trouble now."
Lu Qingling remembered that when she left the inn, there were actually some unusual vendors on the street not far away. She had been traveling all over the country for so many years, so she could naturally tell at a glance that those vendors were unusual, but she didn't pay attention at the time.
Because he was about to leave Longjiao County, but now that he had deduced the identity of Chen Chao, it was natural and logical to know the intentions of those vendors.
The guardian envoy was facing an assassination attempt.
No wonder they said they would stay for a while and not return to the divine capital with the caravan. It turned out to be because they were afraid of getting involved.
Lu Qingling told Lao Zhao her inference. After thinking about it, the bearded man suddenly grinned and said, "My boss, then Zhao will ask for a leave from my boss?"
Lu Qingling is so smart. She already understood what Old Zhao was thinking when Old Zhang opened his mouth. She said solemnly, "Old Zhao, Lord Guardian is kind to you, but since you dare to assassinate him, then these monks will
It's not something we can deal with. Even if you go now, it won't help."
Old Zhao smiled and said, "Zhao knows very well what my boss said."
"Zhao knows that there is no use in going there. If those people are determined to kill the guardian envoy, then one more Zhao will not change anything. Zhao even knows that even if he does not go, the guardian envoy will be killed."
I don’t blame Zhao. After all, he actually told Zhao this before. But forget it if you don’t know. Now that you know about this matter, it’s not too late to go.
, Zhao is feeling uneasy."
"As for why, the reason is actually very simple. It's not that the guardian envoy taught me Zhao certain boxing techniques, but that in the past few years, the guardian envoy has been carrying the beam alone. We and other people in Daliang must recite
How good of him! Without the Lord Guard, the people would not be living like this, and their waists would not be so straight!"
After saying this, Lao Zhao didn't say much, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards Longjiao County!
He also had a wife, a daughter, and even an old mother. If he died in Longjiao County, it would be cruel to those relatives. If it was anything else, he would hide away if he could.
But this is not possible.
He would rather die in Longjiao County than that young man die there!
…
…
Seeing Lao Zhao galloping away, everyone was a little surprised and looked at his boss, Lu Qingling, in confusion.
Lu Qingling took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said calmly, "Old Zhao has gone to rescue people. He is the young man who has been walking with us for a long time."
"Of course, he also has another identity. He is Chen Chao, the guardian envoy of our imperial court. He is currently undergoing an assassination. The people who came to kill him are of course very powerful. One old Zhao is as good as ten old Zhaos. In fact,
It made no difference, but he went anyway."
Lu Qingling smiled and said, "Old Zhao is really a bit silly."
They didn't speak.
Lu Qingling smiled and said, "But in this life, you will always do stupid things several times. As for whether you will regret it afterwards, it depends on whether it is worth it. I, Lu Qingling, also ask myself that I am a smart person. I have never done this in these years.
What a stupid thing to do, but today, I want to do it. Everyone, if you go, you will probably die. If you don’t go, you will probably live 100% of the time. How you choose is up to you!"
After Lu Qingling said these words, she clamped her legs on the horse's belly and galloped away.
The people behind them looked at each other, no one said anything, but everyone turned their horses' heads in tacit agreement and galloped towards Longjiao County!
…
…
On the long street, a fight came to an end.
Chen Chao's butcher's knife was broken in half, and then inserted into the lower abdomen of the young man opposite him. His other hand was less than an inch away from the other man's head, but it did not fall.
The horizontal sword in Huang Kong's hand has been broken.
He raised his head and looked at the same young man in front of him, somewhat puzzled.
It was obvious that he was seriously injured at the moment and even had little energy left. No matter what, he had the advantage, but why did he still lose?
Chen Chao took back his hand raised in the air and said, "Let's go."
Huang Kong was surprised and said, "Why don't you kill me?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "There is no grievance or enmity. Even if you want to fight me in the end, I don't want to kill you."
In fact, whether to kill Huang Kong or not is a matter of between five and five, it just depends on Chen Chao's choice, but maybe because he killed enough people today, Chen Chao doesn't want to kill him again.
After retracting his hand, blood began to flow from the corner of Chen Chao's mouth. He took a few steps back to avoid falling down and leaned against the wall.
The two Taoists looked at each other and nodded slightly.
The group of people before were consuming Chen Chao, and so was Huang Kong.
Today's Chen Chao no longer makes people feel scary. In the eyes of these two Taoists, he is just fish on the chopping board and can be killed at any time.
Huang Kong pulled out the knife from his lower abdomen, looked at Chen Chao, and shouted with some pain, "Chen Chao, why don't you kill me!"
Chen Chao did not respond to him.
But the window on the side creaked open.
A guy dressed as a scholar stuck his head out of the window with a rolling pin, then climbed out awkwardly and came to the street.
If Huang Kong is already thin enough, then this young man can even be said to be weak and unable to restrain a chicken.
He was so thin that a gust of wind could blow him down.
He was looking at the corpses all over the street, his face was extremely pale and his whole body was shaking, but he still held the rolling pin and stood in front of Chen Chao.
Look at the two Taoists.
Chen Chao asked, "What to do?"
The scholar swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some confidence, "Protect you."
Chen Chao frowned.
Then there was a continuous sound of opening doors and windows, and a group of people ran out, holding various things in their hands.
Some people are holding kitchen knives for cooking, some are holding sticks, and some are holding benches at home...
The faces of these people were full of fear and anxiety, and many of them were trembling at the moment, but they still appeared here.
He stood between Chen Chao and the two Taoists.
They refilled the street.
Then someone in the crowd shouted, as if to embolden themselves, and also to tell others the reason why they were here.
