Chapter 33 The Duel
Chapter 33 The Duel
Zhao Tong and Wang Yuan, huddled in the corner, were secretly pleased, but naturally no one paid them any attention.
The absolute protagonist of the training ground right now is the young man standing in the center, holding two swords.
He moved again.
However, instead of rushing towards the other five people, he rushed towards Li Chong, who was lying on the ground groaning.
To be honest, Li Zhong didn't expect Mo Zheng to target him again. Not only did he not expect it, but no one did.
boom!
With a heavy kick, he struck Li Chong squarely in the chest, sending him flying.
Not only was he sent flying, but Li Chong also spat out a mouthful of blood mist in mid-air. When he landed again, his previous screams had turned into weak groans, clearly indicating that he had lost his fighting ability.
So cruel!
The disciples in the training ground secretly made their assessment of this Junior Brother Mo, and even after he fell to the ground, they still wanted to kick him again.
Although it won't kill him, judging from Li Chong's barely breathing state, he'll probably have to stay in bed for two or three days.
Even Wang Yuan and Zhao Tong's injuries might not be this serious.
The remaining five people hesitated even more upon seeing this.
This kind of sparring mainly emphasizes momentum. Originally, everyone's fighting strength was about the same, with one side having more people and the other side having fewer. Naturally, Li Chong's side was full of confidence and a sense of superiority.
However, Mo Zheng displayed his special talent for multitasking and wielding two swords, and took the initiative to beat Li Chong badly.
These five people naturally had to consider whether they were a match for each other.
However, they hesitated, but Mo Zheng had no intention of letting them go.
When he was a minor constable in Shangyin County, he dared to draw his sword against the Black Sand Gang, let alone today.
"Fine, I won't take your money if you don't want to fight. Get out."
Mo Zheng said coldly, "From now on, if you see me in this martial arts arena, please get out!"
He emphasized the last few words.
The only way to deal with evil people is to be even more evil than them!
"Yes, get out!"
"Damn it, get the hell out of my sight from now on!"
Zhao Tong and Wang Yuan also got excited and chimed in to support them.
At this moment, they felt no pain all over their bodies, just a feeling of exhilaration, just like when they were admitted to the Liangzhou Martial Arts Academy!
"Damn, let's go for it!"
"That's incredibly arrogant! I don't believe he can really take on five people at once!"
"So what if he has two swords? Kill him!"
……
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the five people who had been cornered were desperate. They encouraged each other and charged forward again with fierce expressions.
Five weapons charged at him, and Mo Zheng once again used the same method as before, quickly retreating and creating distance.
The first to arrive was naturally the spear. Mo Zheng used a gentle, swift move to deflect the spear, and then slashed fiercely with his other sword. The sword, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slammed into the chin of the disciple wielding the spear. Instantly, the disciple screamed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backward.
The people behind him dodged, but one disciple who was farther away from him, wielding a staff, seized the opportunity and brought his staff down!
But he forgot that Mo Zheng had two swords!
One spear sent the disciple wielding the gun flying, while another directly blocked his attack with a stick!
Mo Zheng stepped forward, his longsword sweeping across, the force of a thousand pounds striking the disciple wielding the staff in the waist and abdomen. The disciple felt a jolt in his internal organs, clutched his stomach, and collapsed.
However, at this moment, the two swords and the hammer had arrived. Mo Zheng was not Lan Jun after all, and could not kill the Iron-Armed Golden Ape as easily as harvesting weeds. He tried his best to dodge and dodged, but he only managed to dodge the two swords. There was still a large hammer left!
In that split second, he held his two swords to his chest, blocking the iron hammer. Bang!
The clash of the two swords and the hammer sparked a trail of sparks. Mo Zheng felt a tremendous force, his whole body trembled, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.
But he had no time to worry about that. He dodged backward, quickly avoiding the two longswords that came at him again, and caught his breath.
Seeing this, the remaining three were overjoyed, knowing that as long as they cooperated well, they might be able to defeat Mo Zheng, and they attacked together again.
Mo Zheng used his twin swords to feint and dodge, like a seasoned hunter waiting for the three of them to reveal a weakness in their coordinated attacks.
In the blink of an eye, the four had exchanged blows for about ten rounds. Finally, the heavy hammer became slightly sluggish, and the combination of it and the two longswords gave Mo Zheng an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
Mo Zheng's figure blurred, one longsword had already parried the heavy hammer, and the other longsword slammed hard into the throat of the fat man who was wielding the heavy hammer.
The fat man immediately clutched his throat and lay down, making gurgling noises, barely able to breathe.
However, the price of this sword strike was that both of the opponent's longswords slammed into his back. Under the terrifying force, he felt his blood and qi surge, and he staggered, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
"kill!"
Having landed a successful blow, the two were even more eager to fight and once again swung their swords at Mo Zheng!
Mo Zheng took a deep breath and fearlessly stepped forward!
Two swords against two swords, the difference being that one side has two people, while the other side has only one person.
He focused on his swordplay, coordinating flawlessly, while the two opponents were ultimately two separate individuals!
Taking advantage of the moment when he took another sword blow to his back, Mo Zheng successfully won an opportunity. The sword slammed into another person's head, knocking him unconscious.
The following battles were simple and easy.
Even though Mo Zheng was injured, with two swords in hand, he was able to fight two against one. In just two moves, the same sword struck the last disciple on the head, ending the battle.
There was no one left standing around him.
Mo Zheng lowered his head; the ground was covered with spilled blood and some fallen teeth.
There were also disciples lying on the ground, unconscious, or groaning.
"call……"
He exhaled deeply and spat out the remaining blood foam with a "pui" sound.
It hurts, my back is burning.
He raised his hand and used a sword as a crutch for support, feeling extremely tired. He was covered in sweat and almost completely exhausted.
It's not easy to fight six people at once.
The three heavy blows he received, in particular, caused his blood and qi to churn throughout his body, making it difficult for him to even stand properly.
However, he was now the only person standing in the center of the training ground.
Zhao Tong and Wang Yuan opened their mouths as if to say something, but nothing came out; their expressions revealed shock and excitement.
As for the others, no one spoke; there was only silence and admiring glances.
One against six, and these six people are all martial artists who have entered the realm of martial arts, powerful martial artists who have personally killed demonic beasts!
What incredible talent!
Mo Zheng didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.
Aside from the pain, his only feeling was pleasure.
So happy!
Nothing is more satisfying than taking revenge yourself.
These scumbags!
His gaze swept over the injured, lying on the ground, groaning and unconscious, and he felt incredibly pleased.
However, it was still too much of a stretch.
If given a few more days, he will surely become more proficient in using his dual swords and their coordination will be more seamless. In that case, he might not have to suffer these few blows in this battle.
Just as everyone in the training ground was still immersed in the fierce battle, several figures walked over from a distance.
The first person was a young man dressed in brocade robes and wearing a golden crown. He looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome face and a long sword at his waist. However, he had a hooked nose, which inexplicably added a touch of sinister aura to his appearance.
"Senior Brother You!" "Senior Brother You!" "Senior Brother You!"...
As soon as he entered, several disciples in the training ground immediately crowded around him, vying to greet him.
Is this Senior Brother You, who founded the Hidden Dragon Society?
Mo Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and Zhao Tong and Wang Yuan's expressions changed slightly, clearly showing a hint of apprehension.
Senior Brother You glanced at the injured Li Chong and the others on the ground, a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes. He looked at the group that had just surrounded them, and immediately one of them leaned in and whispered in his ear.
Zhao Tong and Wang Yuan struggled to their feet and walked to Mo Zheng's side, whispering, "Junior Brother Mo, let's go."
Mo Zheng laughed and said, "Senior brothers, even if we leave, this matter will not end here."
You think you can just hit someone and run away? You can't expect to get away with that.
Just like the Black Sand Gang back then, he captured someone's brother-in-law, and within two days the Black Sand Gang leader led his men to block the door.
Similarly, now that we've run into this Senior Brother You today, and this matter isn't resolved, there will definitely be endless trouble in the future.
With so many people beaten, if the leader doesn't step in, the members of the Hidden Dragon Society will fall apart.
As expected, after the person whispering in his ear finished speaking, Senior Brother You's eyes immediately turned to Mo Zheng, and finally settled on his two swords.
"You did all of this?"
"Yes."
"You have some nerve, going against me."
A flash of anger crossed You Chendong's eyes, his gaze sharp as he stared coldly at Mo Zheng.
The atmosphere in the training ground instantly plummeted to freezing point. Everyone present was an outer disciple, and they knew how terrifying Senior Brother You Chendong was.
The You family of Liangzhou is a prominent family that has produced three generations of experts at the Visceral Realm. The current patriarch of the You family is still an expert at the Visceral Realm.
Even the Governor-General's Office of Liangzhou had to give the You family some face.
As a direct descendant of such a prestigious family, You Chendong's identity goes without saying. More importantly, he possesses exceptional martial arts talent. Among the outer disciples of the Liangzhou Martial Arts Hall, he boasts the highest martial arts cultivation. It is said that he has already passed the Tower of Ascension three times, and is only one step away from passing the first time and becoming an inner disciple.
Otherwise, it would not have been enough to subdue the group of novice martial arts prodigies and establish the Martial Arts Hall.
"Senior Brother You, one should take responsibility for one's actions. Today, Zhao Tong and I clashed with your Hidden Dragon Society, and you..."
"Shut up."
You Chendong impatiently interrupted Wang Yuan, saying disdainfully, "You have no right to speak to me."
"you……"
Wang Yuan's face flushed red with anger at those words, his eyes practically blazing with murderous intent as he looked at You Chendong.
However, You Chendong didn't even glance at him; his gaze remained fixed on Mo Zheng and the two swords in his hands.
"Give me an explanation, or else..."
You Chendong said coldly, his unspoken threat clearly evident.
"My confession is all contained within this sword," Mo Zheng said calmly.
"Well said, it's all in the sword. It seems you're very confident in your sword."
You Chendong suddenly sneered, his laughter filled with barely suppressed anger. He said coldly, "Tomorrow, at the Tower of Ascension, regardless of victory or defeat, this matter will be wiped clean!"
"The Tower of Ascension?"
Mo Zheng immediately recalled the information Zhou Xian had sent him. This Tower of Ascension was made from the Mirage Pearl, a treasure produced in the Secret Realm. It could not only test one's external martial arts level, but also be used for life-or-death duels. It was incredibly magical.
However, duels in the Tower of Ascension generally require contribution points. Both sides need to spend ten contribution points to start a duel, which means a duel costs two thousand taels of silver.
This cost is not small, so usually such duels are also wagered on a thousand taels of silver. The winner suffers no loss, while the loser has to bear the cost of two thousand taels of silver.
"Not bad, the Tower of Ascension. The stakes aren't high, ten thousand taels of silver. Do you dare?" You Chendong's eyes held a hint of provocation.
"You Chendong!"
A sharp shout rang out, and the beautiful woman who had borrowed the sword appeared, her face filled with indignation. She said, "You Chen Dong, you're too despicable! You actually challenged Junior Brother Xiao Mo to a duel on the Tower of Ascension. How long have you been a disciple? He's only been a disciple for a short time. Isn't this robbery?"
"Little Fish Sister".
A smile appeared on You Chendong's cold face as he said, "Our two families are old friends. I won't cause you any trouble, but you shouldn't meddle in other people's business."
"Since he said the truth is in his sword, I naturally want to experience his swordsmanship."
"Shameless!"
Jiang Xiaoyu cursed and said to Mo Zheng, "Junior Brother Mo, you must not agree. He just passed the Tower of Ascension for the first time today. He only needs to complete the secret realm mission to become an inner disciple. You are no match for him now."
The moment these words were spoken, the training ground fell silent.
You Chendong actually made it through the first level of the Tower of Ascension?
It should be noted that none of the disciples in his batch who entered the Martial Arts Hall have successfully passed the first level of the Tower of Ascension in the past six months!
Even among disciples who have been in the hall for two or three years, there are a few who cannot pass the first level of the Tower of Ascension.
The members of the Hidden Dragon Society were immediately overjoyed, while Wang Yuan and Zhao Tong's expressions changed drastically.
Both of them had tried the Tower of Heaven once and knew its difficulty. Since You Chendong was able to pass through, his strength was undoubtedly the best in their class.
"Mo Er, don't agree."
"Yes, agreeing to him means losing!"
The two hurriedly whispered their advice.
Are you scared?
You Chendong said to Mo Zheng, "You can refuse, but don't say I didn't give you a chance."
"You have two choices: one, you join my Hidden Dragon Society and obey my orders; two, you kneel down now and kowtow to these senior brothers to apologize."
"If any one of them does this, the matter will be considered closed!"
Both of these incidents were clearly acts of deliberate humiliation.
You Chendong did indeed want to humiliate Mo Zheng, wasn't he trying to tell my men to get out?
You have to kneel down before me now!
Is it the first floor of the Tower of Ascension?
Mo Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I will not choose either of them. I choose the duel at the Tower of Ascension, but it will be in seven days."
"Don't fight!" Wang Yuan and Zhao Tong were both surprised.
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Mo Zheng with great surprise. He had already told him about You Chendong's strength, yet he still chose to duel.
"How dare you! Seven days it is. I'd like to see if your twin swords can defeat me in seven days!"
You Chendong was extremely confident, saying, "Then see you in seven days!"
Having said that, he didn't linger any longer and turned to leave with the members of the Hidden Dragon Society.
