The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 419: Soul-breaking Greatness, Patrolling the Wei River

Qiankun Siwei water is divided.

"Hahaha, I heard that Fan Zhengheng and Liu Yuanhua were both invited to Xue Mingde's promotion ceremony, but our deputy commander, Chen Pingan, was not invited. I'm really curious, what kind of expression will Chen Pingan have when he gets the news?"

A rough-faced man with a thick neck and round arms stood in front of Feng Chengxiu, laughing so hard that he fell backwards.

Feng Chengxiu sat on the big chair with a very happy smile on his face.

There is no better news than this for the Rough Blade Chen Pingan who has suffered setbacks one after another. If there is any, it is that Chen Pingan has encountered a bigger trouble.

"It seems that the Xue family's attitude is very clear. They have officially started to compete with the Gu family. Otherwise, Xue Mingde and Chen Ping'an have no grudges in the past or today, so they would not have made such a move. They invited Liu Yuanhua, who is also the deputy commander-in-chief, but did not invite Chen Ping'an. This really offended him." Feng Chengxiu said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Feng." The rough-faced man said in a loud voice. "Xue Mingde's actions are too obviously targeted. He really doesn't give Chen Pingan face!"

The rough-faced man is named Wu Dazhen. He is Feng Chengxiu's deputy in the Qiankunsi reconnaissance team and possesses top-notch combat power.

In addition to his excellent horizontal training and immense strength, he was also extremely skilled in a martial art called Taishan Yading. Even if they were equally skilled, it would be difficult for them to withstand a few of his moves.

It can be said that what Wu Dazhen is best at is head-on confrontation.

Like Feng Chengxiu, although he had no feelings for Tong Jin, he had long harbored a grudge against Chen Ping'an for killing his Qiankunsi people. Hearing about Chen Ping'an's frustration, he was naturally very happy.

"Xue Mingde is so disrespectful, but Chen Pingan is not someone who will tolerate it. I wonder how he will react this time?" Feng Xiucheng said lightly with anticipation on his face.

"Hahaha, no matter what, he and Xue Mingde are competing against each other."

"Each of them has a family behind them, and the influence of their power can be ignored. They are both from the Pacification Division, so if they are facing each other, I'm afraid they can only rely on the hard power in their hands. Although Chen Ping'an is strong, if he really has to go up against Xue Mingde, I'm afraid he is far from being his opponent!" Feng Chengxiu judged.

As an important member of the Qiankun Division, he naturally has a lot of information. Xue Mingde, like him, is a pseudo-master who has been immersed in it for many years. In the realm of pseudo-masters, he is also an extremely good existence. Moreover, Xue Mingde has been working in the Qiyun Zhenfu Division for many years, and his connections are not comparable to Chen Pingan.

Whether it is a competition of hard power or soft power, Chen Pingan will not be a match for Xue Mingde.

"Master Feng is right," Wu Dazhen agreed. His understanding was the same as Feng Chengxiu's.

"Apart from the Gu family behind him, there's only this much that Reckless Blade Chen Ping'an has. It just so happens that the Xue family is holding the Gu family back this time, so let's look forward to the follow-up. Let them fight each other this time! No matter what, it's not a bad thing for us." Feng Chengxiu rubbed his palms, feeling a little itchy.

If this matter did not involve the game between the noble families in the state capital, he would have wanted to take this opportunity to get involved. On the one hand, he could get the promise of great benefits from Master Tong Guantong, and on the other hand, he could feel relieved and relieve the bad mood in his heart.

Sometimes, it is better to do it yourself than to rely on others.

"There will be a chance!" Feng Chengxiu secretly comforted himself.

When Chen Ping'an was defeated by Xue Mingde, he found the right opportunity and attacked, killing Chen Ping'an with a single blow.

With Xue Mingde providing cover and all factors properly planned, the suspicion on him should be reduced to a minimum.

"Xue Mingde?"

Chen Pingan sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes calm and his expression calm, no emotion visible.

Xue Mingde's promotion ceremony invited Fan Zhengheng and Liu Yuanhua, but they forgot to invite him, the deputy commander of the Weishui Pacification Office.

Well, maybe I forgot!
This is the possible explanation that Fan Zhengheng gave to Chen Pingan during Bailiri. It is an explanation that even a child would not believe.

Chen Ping'an's name was not on the invitation list of the Liyang Pacification Office. To be honest, this was beyond Fan Zhengheng's expectations. But it was unexpected, and from his point of view, he did not want to make a big deal out of it.

He probably had heard about Chen Ping'an's personality and temper. He was afraid that Chen Ping'an would come to him directly in anger. So, he found this poor excuse. It was not that he didn't want to find other excuses, but he really couldn't find any.

If Liu Yuanhua was not on the invitation list of the Liyang Pacification Office, he might still be able to help make up for it. But now, Xue Mingde's targeting was exposed.

When Fan Zhengheng finished his reasoning, he obviously knew it was untenable, and immediately advised: "Ping An, don't be impulsive. Xue Mingde's action may not be targeted. Qiyun County is located in a strategic location and is much more prosperous than Liyang County. This time he was transferred from Qiyun Town Pacification Office to Liyang Town Pacification Office, and suffered a lot of losses. This time, his action may just be a vent after his interests were damaged, and there is no other meaning."

Yes!

There is no other meaning, just venting!

Is it a reason to vent? Is it a reason?

Why didn't he dare to vent his dissatisfaction to the Xue family and Ning Zhengyue? Is it because he doesn't know how to do it?
Do not!
Because he doesn’t dare!

In the matter of Liyang Zhenfusi Duzhishi, the one who suffered the most loss was not Xue Mingde! It was him!

But has he ever found someone to vent to?

When Chen Pingan heard Fan Zhengheng's explanation, he did not feel angry at all, and even felt like laughing.

He was not laughing at Xue Mingde, but at himself.

He has always tried his best to hide his edge and practice in a low-key manner, all he pursued was inner peace and improvement in martial arts.

But what did he get in return for these actions?
What he got in return was the crushing of the aristocratic families, the losses in the game between various parties, and the unscrupulous and wanton harm done by Xue Mingde.

In this world, no matter what you say, only boxing is the truth! He has always been very clear about this truth. Therefore, even though he is so young and has taken a high position, he still dares not relax or indulge in pleasure. Instead, he practices every day and works tirelessly.

All he did was to protect himself and his family in this complicated world.

But now, the scene he faced was the opposite of his original intention. He was subjected to endless malice and targeting, just like Little Tiger!
He was not that angry about this matter. He did not really care about a commander who was not even a formal master. He did not care whether he went to Xue Mingde's promotion ceremony or not.

But Xue Mingde should never, ever, slap him in the face in this way! If he didn't react to this matter, there would be endless troubles in the future.

"People have no intention to hurt tigers, but tigers have the intention to hurt people! That's the case."

In the room, a hint of coldness emerged in Chen Ping'an's eyes, which were as deep as an ancient well, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

Although the invitation letter from the Liyang Pacification Office was sent early, Xue Mingde's promotion ceremony would not be officially held for another two months.

The previous commander-in-chief died, and Liyang County was ravaged by demons. There was a lot of work to be done. From the announcement of Xue Mingde's appointment documents, to his official appointment, to his promotion ceremony, all parties were invited to witness it. Two months was not a long time.

Sending out the invitation letter at such an early time and announcing it to all the counties may have hidden plans of Xue Mingde or the Xue family. Before the promotion ceremony was officially held, this matter was always in front of everyone and would be mentioned from time to time. And Chen Pingan, the rough knife who was not invited, might also become a laughing stock of others.

In addition, with the temper of the Rough Blade Chen Pingan, he might do something radical in the next two months. If he did, it would be exactly what the Xue family wanted, and they could use it as a handle against Chen Pingan.

When this incident happened, not only Xue Mingde, but all parties were watching Chen Ping'an's reaction. However, what disappointed Feng Chengxiu, Wu Dazhen and others was that on the third day after this incident, Chen Ping'an left Weishui County in the name of Weishui patrol.

"Is he going out to hide from the limelight?" Feng Chengxiu wondered.

Such behavior is not like Mang Dao's character at all.

Feng Chengxiu used several spies and found out after careful investigation. The patrol of Weishui River was arranged by Fan Zhengheng himself. He was afraid that Chen Pingan, the Rough Blade, would cause trouble, so he simply patrolled Weishui River as a way to relax.

Just a few days ago, news came that there were traces of a small group of demonic thieves in Xingyuan City. Chen Pingan went out to inspect the Wei River and was able to deal with this matter.

After several months of massive suppression work by the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office, the evil demons and heretics in the prefecture were almost wiped out. In addition to the evil thieves who were killed on the spot during the suppression, a very small number of evil remnants managed to escape and fled in all directions.

Some notorious demon thieves were targeted early on, locked down one by one, and given special attention. Therefore, the demon thieves who were able to escape were basically those who were not well-known but had some means.

Some thieves who are really capable have already completely hidden themselves and waited for the opportunity. As for those who have still revealed their tracks, there are basically only a few big cats and small cats, no powerful characters. Generally speaking, the Inner Qi Realm is already the top existence!
Normally, the remnants of the inner energy realm did not need the presence of Chen Pingan, but when it happened to be Xue Mingde's matter, Fan Zhengheng found an opportunity to let Chen Pingan go out. It was like giving him a half-vacation to relax his body and mind.

According to the current intelligence, the evil thieves that appeared in the Xingyuan City area seemed to be the remnants of the Tianlian Sect. They must have fled from a stronghold that was attacked in Weishui County before, and they were not a big deal.

On the official road outside Weishui County, a specially made carriage that was completely black, wide, and tall was driving slowly under the escort of a large group of elite soldiers from the Pacification Division.

Inside the car, Chen Ping'an looked at the scenery along the way, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, Chen Pingan withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickered, and a panel appeared in front of him.

Name: Chen Pingan
Realm: Yuheng middle stage - Spiritual fruit prototype
武学：万魔铸身诀入门（38/480）游龙身法大成（0/1600）、断魂刀大成（55/1600）、龙象霸体诀圆满、金刚不坏神功圆满、三分人劫指圆满、大金刚掌圆满.
Chen Pingan had gained a lot from the hard training over the past few days, and he had formally cultivated this Soul-breaking Sword Technique to the Great Perfection Realm. With his current martial arts realm, the Great Perfection of the Soul-breaking Sword Technique only made the embryonic form of the spirit fruit on his brow spiritual platform slightly fuller, and had limited impact on his combat power.

His current combat power is close to the top, and the improvement of an ordinary magical skill will not bring any fundamental changes. But this is in terms of his true strength. If it is replaced by his apparent strength, then the perfection of the Soul-Breaking Sword Skill is of great significance.

With the Great Perfection level of Soul-Breaking Sword Skills, and the appropriate combination of some Dragon-Swimming Body Skills, I wonder what the appropriate ranking would be on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings! ?

"With my current progress in cultivation, I will be able to perfect the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique in forty days at most!"

Once the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique is perfected, it will be enough to master the secret technique, the Soul-Breaking Blood-Crying Slash!
Even without using his true energy, relying on his profound foundation in divine will, he could deliver a flawless Soul-Severing and Blood-Weeping Slash with one strike of his sword. Under the Grandmaster level, no one could match his brilliance.

Even though Xue Mingde's fighting ability was quite extraordinary among the pseudo-grandmasters, he was only eclipsed by this sword.

At that time, at the promotion ceremony, how could Xue Mingde, who couldn't even block his sword, convince the crowd! ?
Xue Mingde was transferred to suppress the situation in Liyang! ? But this carefully selected commander couldn't even withstand his sword. How stupid was the person who made such a decision!
"Xue Mingde is, after all, just an insignificant chess piece on the chessboard. In the ever-changing situation in this state, his pseudo-grandmaster status is just a drop in the ocean and cannot shake the decision-making of the upper echelons at all. The real decision-maker behind the scenes is someone else!"

"Canglong Xue Family!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Dare to use me as a pawn, I'll give you the field!"

In front of the city gate of Weishui County, there is a hustle and bustle of people, shoulder to shoulder and noisy, with all kinds of pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream, adding a bit of noise and prosperity to this county city.

"Weishui County City! We're finally here!"

In the crowd, a black-shirted swordsman with an ancient sword case on his back slowly stood in front of the city gate. He looked up at the towering city gate with a sneer on his lips.

"Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade!?"

The black-shirted swordsman had a stern look on his face and walked steadily into the Weishui County City.

"It seems that Master Tong's favor is easier than I thought."

One day later, the news that the northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang challenged the wild swordsman Chen Pingan to a duel instantly spread throughout the entire Weishui County.

Guan Dongxiang, the northern swordsman, is ranked 319th on the Dragon and Tiger List. His swordsmanship is fierce and every strike of his sword is deadly.

When the news came out, the whole city was shocked!

PS: I haven't written many details, don't blame me for being lazy. Oh, by the way, I didn't adjust over the weekend. I will probably update tomorrow at night. (Let's see if I can make a comeback on New Year's Day)
