Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 150 A Mess

The term "uneven swordsmanship" does not refer to a specific swordsmanship, but rather to a category of swordsmanship.

Holding swords in both hands, one long and one short, usually the long sword is used for offense and the short sword for defense. Of course, they may switch occasionally to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and defense.

This kind of basic swordsmanship knowledge was, of course, told to Cha Nan by Yang Guo.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Cha Nan was able to handle the female ninja with ease. After dodging three or four moves, he seized the opportunity to kick out, hitting the woman squarely in the abdomen.

This position was deliberately chosen; it won't break if kicked.

The Wind and Cloud Divine Leg technique was a custom-made ultimate skill, so Cha Nan's kick landed solidly. The female ninja immediately lost her fighting ability, trembling and collapsing to the ground, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Cha Nan.

Cha Nan's answer was also very direct: he gave her a high-quality Paluka, and with a success rate of up to 65%, he won over this female ninja with first-class strength and a lewd figure.

"You could be so ruthless to such a beautiful woman. I must say... you've really surprised me!" Sure enough, the excitement tonight was far from over. Just as Cha Nan had finished off the female ninja, another voice rang out.

Cha Nan looked at the owner of the voice; this person was also a show-off!
Although he was wearing a set of clothes suitable for nighttime travel, the clothes were silver-white.

So is it hidden... or not hidden at all?
Or is it Schrödinger's hidden agenda?

"Xue Chuanxin?" Cha Nan asked.

Since meeting Chu Liuxiang and learning which event he was involved in, Cha Nan had tried hard to recall the main characters and masters who appeared in the story. Although this advance preparation could never give Cha Nan a complete advantage... after all, there were still variables and interference brought by the boundary gate, but it could give him more control and a better grasp of the situation.

Xue Chuanxin... one of Mr. Du's top fighters, he seems to be known as the "Silver Arrow Prince", skilled in light footwork and shooting silver bullets with a bow.

How skilled is his lightness skill?
Is being able to slightly rival Chu Liuxiang considered impressive?
That's absolutely amazing!
After all, Cha Nan can only compare to Chu Liuxiang at present. To say that he can surpass him in terms of lightness skills, he still lacks the skill and experience.

Unless Cha Nan's Cloud Sea Deer can collect another 'Divine Speed' attribute, turning it from a second-speed deer into a third-speed deer.

"You know me?" Xue Chuanxin asked, but there was no surprise on his face, as if it were perfectly natural for others to know him.

Cha Nan ignored his arrogance and instead looked at Liu Sheng Yijian and Hou Xibai, who were fighting.

"Hou Xibai is the accomplice you invited, isn't he!"

“Why don’t you help him now? He doesn’t look well,” Cha Nan said.

Hou Xibai's current situation is not just not good, it's very bad.

Although his martial arts level was similar to that of Yagyu Ittsuken, Yagyu Ittsuken's swordsmanship was domineering and powerful, yet occasionally unpredictable and ruthless. Hou Xibai was clearly not very good at this kind of aggressive fighting style. Although he used a strange force field to frequently deflect Yagyu Ittsuken's sword energy and blade light, he was always on the defensive. In just a few moves, he had already been forced into a rather disheveled state.

The saying goes, "A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat." Even with Cha Nan's keen eye, if no unexpected factors were to intervene, Hou Xibai would be defeated in at most twenty more moves, and his life would be in danger within thirty moves.

"There are a lot more guests than expected tonight, so I can't help him... and I can't help you either!" Xue Chuanxin said, shaking his head.

"Anyone else coming?"

"Who are they?" Cha Nan asked.

Xue Chuanxin said, "I don't know, but there should be quite a few, and they are all very strong."

"Are they all Shi Tianwang's men?" Cha Nan asked after thinking for a moment.

Although there doesn't seem to be such a great battle in the original storyline, with the changes brought about by the boundary gate, who cares about the storyline anymore!
Many so-called plans and strategies are based on existing foundations, capabilities, and means.

When the power that schemers have the opportunity to wield changes, their methods will naturally change as well. "Not necessarily... Take these Japanese, for example! They came to find out where the princess is staying, and then kill her."

"They don't want to see King Shi surrender to the court, nor do they want to see King Shi's power expand further; this is not in their interest." After saying this, Xue Chuanxin flew away.

His lightness skill was indeed excellent. He moved horizontally in mid-air, as if he were being pulled by an invisible steel wire, flipping and maneuvering freely and effortlessly.

Clearly, his lightness skill also incorporates highly advanced movement techniques.

As he moved, he repeatedly pulled on a small silver bow, launching a barrage of silver missiles that shot down some ninjas in the darkness.

Suddenly, flames shot into the sky from the direction of Jade Sword Manor.

The deafening sounds of fighting echoed throughout.

Cha Nan looked over in astonishment, somewhat incredulous. Mr. Du, who had seemed so confident before, had his lair burned down in a single fire... This was far too hasty!
Cha Nan had no doubt that a single fire could set fire to a large area of ​​ordinary people's houses.

Because the houses of ordinary people, the better ones were made of wood, while the worse ones were made of mud mixed with reeds, which were very flammable.

However, Mr. Du's Jade Sword Manor has a spacious layout and an internal lake. Most of its structure is made of brick and stone, with only the roof and beams, as well as some decorations and furniture, being made of wood. For such a manor to burn so vigorously, the location must have been carefully planned in advance, with large amounts of kerosene placed in various places and then ignited all at once, in order to achieve such an effect in a short period of time.

"This was intentional!"

"Why did Mr. Du do this?" Cha Nan immediately came to a conclusion and raised a question.

Then he figured it out.

Princess Yujian was, after all, Mr. Du's daughter, and the imperial court had bestowed upon her the title of Princess Yujian. She shouldn't have been so easily abducted... unless the Yujian Manor, which was protecting her, had encountered a major problem and could no longer protect her.

"Damn it... have I been abandoned?"

"That old woman, Mr. Du, still chose Chu Liuxiang?" Cha Nan didn't feel wronged, but she felt looked down upon, and her heart was filled with resentment.

Whether he revealed the jellyfish Yin Ji behind him or Liang Xiao, one of his trump cards, in Mr. Du's eyes, he was still an unknown nobody who had just entered the martial arts world, far inferior to the famous thief Chu Liuxiang.

Some things, if Chu Liuxiang were to do them, not only would Mr. Du be at ease, but the whole world would trust him as well.

If Chu Liuxiang abducted Princess Yujian, then... who wouldn't believe that Princess Yujian looked down on Chu Liuxiang and refused to have a night of pleasure with him?
That's Chu Liuxiang after all... his reputation is universally acknowledged.

So, the green hat on Shi Tianwang's head was worn so properly that no man could tolerate it.

This is an open conspiracy. Even if Shi Tianwang saw through it, he still had to jump in.

Because if he ignores it, then no one in the martial arts world will consider Shi Tianwang a man of importance or a powerful figure. Many of the low-level pirates who followed him will also become disloyal and naturally disperse.

If that's the case, Mr. Du can simply wait for King Shi's team to disband on its own without lifting a finger.

That's how the martial arts world is. The cohesion of a powerful force relies not only on interests and power, but also on reputation and the prestige of its leader.

Why do many seemingly powerful, secretive forces, composed of a large group of so-called experts, collapse so quickly?

Because they lack genuine cohesion, they cannot withstand shocks.

Just one major failure is enough to completely destroy it.
