Ruins of the past

The martial arts training ground of Lingzhou Zhenmo Division.

Chu Qiguang was holding a demon-slaying knife for practice and was asking Yang Ling for advice on knife skills.

After all, he now has a new Heavenly Sword from Yi Siman.

At this moment, he needed to learn a sword technique that was powerful enough to make up for his lack of instant explosive power in his fist skills.

Yang Ling had been immersed in many sword techniques of the Zhenmo Division for many years, and was invited by Chu Qiguang to teach him sword techniques.

"According to your request, if you want to find a sword technique that is best at killing people in a flash, then among our demon assassination schools... it must be this sea-breaking dragon-slaying sword."

The long knife in Yang Ling's hand suddenly slashed out, and as the air tore, it sounded like the sound of tigers roaring and dragons roaring.

"This Sea-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Sword is said to have been created by the first-generation Demon-Suppressing Envoy of the Suppressing Demon Division. That senior once killed a true dragon on the East China Sea, and he used this sword technique."

"The key point is the combination of sword moves and the circulation of qi and blood. The sword moves are used to drive qi and blood, and the qi and blood are used to enhance the power of the sword."

"With each level of sword skill, the power of the sword becomes twice as powerful."

"This sword technique is also divided into four levels. It is said that after reaching the fourth level, the power of the sword is vast and boundless, like a tsunami, tearing apart the sky and the earth, swallowing all things."

"However, this sword technique was created by the Taoist Martial God after all. For warriors in the fifth realm...it is too powerful and unmatched."

"Basically, before entering the Tao, the second level is the limit. Even if you have mastered the third level, once you forcefully use it, you will be counterattacked by the force of the knife, which may cause injuries to muscles and bones, or death due to bursting of qi and blood.

Chu Qiguang followed Yang Ling's demonstration and quickly absorbed the essence of this sword technique.

The information about this sword technique came from his eyes.

"Sea-breaking dragon-slaying knife."

"A cold and domineering sword that has been eliminated by many martial gods."

"No one could break the dragon's scales."

"It is said that the martial gods created many powerful martial arts in order to study the art of slaying dragons."

"128 days, 21 hours, 33 minutes and 9 seconds."

Along with the billowing heat waves emanating from the body, the demon-slaying knife used for practice in Chu Qiguang's hand was swept out, and the roaring sound instantly resounded throughout the audience.

He could feel that when the sword was struck, the power of Qi and blood in his body gathered together to promote the sword technique.

He even felt that after using this sword technique, his energy and blood seemed to have turned into a violent monster, no longer as easy to control as when he used the palm technique.

After practicing for an afternoon, Chu Qiguang nodded secretly: 'Yes, this sword technique is very powerful in an instant. ’

'When I become proficient... when combined with the Tianzhan Sword, the power will be greatly increased, and the lethality will be astonishing. ’

The Divine Weapon's Heavenly Slashing Sword can even break through Chu Qiguang's horizontal training skills.

Chu Qiguang was probably attacked by him at close range and if he was hit with the Dragon-Slaying Saber, not many people would be able to survive.

Moreover, this martial art is used even by martial gods, so he can practice it for a long time without any loss.

At this time, Chu Qiguang felt that his strength had increased again, and he left the martial arts training ground with satisfaction.

Yang Ling, on the other hand, kept observing Chu Qiguang's practice.

He discovered that Chu Qiguang had already mastered this sword technique before he left.

I'm afraid it won't take many days to enter the first level.

‘Chu Qiguang’s martial arts talent is really terrifying. Is this why he is so powerful? ’

Five days later, Chu Qiguang officially completed the Sea-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Sword, reaching the first level of this sword technique.

The gifts of the Circle of Fools have also grown steadily, reaching 11 profound gifts, 5 dark gifts, and 1 cursed gift.

Chu Qiguang had no use for these gifts for the time being.

It's a pity that after Qiu Yuebai and others' outbreak, the daily updates have become less and less, and they have entered a period of exhaustion.

No matter how hard Chu Qiguang pushed him, he always looked depressed, which made him secretly regretful that he could only let them write slowly.

…

Just when Chu Qiguang was running the Chamber of Commerce every day, learning knowledge, practicing martial arts, and his strength and influence were steadily increasing.

A group of people from the capital has also entered Tianqu Mansion.

In addition to several eunuchs, there was also an official from the Qintian Prison named Hou Xianglong who led the team.

Hou Xianglong has been obsessed with the art of Feng Shui Xianglong since he was a child.

It is said that he only interacts with people who have good looks and good luck, and even the servants at home have to look at their faces before deciding whether to stay or leave.

Legend has it that a new top scholar once came to visit him specially, but Hou Xianglong walked away as soon as he saw him, ignoring the top scholar.

But half a year later, the champion went crazy and was killed on the spot by the Demon Suppressor.

Today's Lingzhou territory.

The day after the team arrived in Tianqufu City, Hou Xianglong followed several eunuchs to meet Chu Qiguang and Yang Ling.

The eunuchs were awarding Emperor's rewards to Chu Qiguang and Yang Ling, but Hou Xianglong was hiding behind, secretly observing Chu Qiguang.

The book boy followed behind and said with a strange look on his face: "Master, why do we secretly look at him?"

Hou Xianglong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty wants us to see what Chu Qiguang's appearance and destiny are, and whether he is one of the Eight Generals of the Xinghan Dynasty."

"But whether he is or not, this matter should not be made public."

"I'll take a peek. It's best not to alert anyone."

But the more Hou Xianglong looked at it, the more doubtful he became, and he kept muttering in his heart: 'This Chu Qi Guangming Palace is full of twists and turns, most of it has fallen, and it is clear that it has not been a smooth life. ’

'Also, if the wealth palace is weak and the luck is weak, you should live a life of poverty and have no luck with money. ’

"Just looking at his face, Chu Qi Guangming is obviously a waste among wastes. He is doomed to achieve nothing and be miserable until death." ’

‘It’s impossible for him to do what he does in Lingzhou. ’

Hou Xianglong was absolutely confident in his physiognomy, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.

‘Are the rumors wrong? This Chu Qiguang is just a puppet, and there is someone guiding him behind his back? ’

Thinking of this, Hou Xianglong felt that there were many doubts about Chu Qiguang and it was necessary to investigate carefully.

So he stopped looking at it and left quietly.

On the other side, Chu Qiguang has been awarded the virtual title of Deputy Qianhu of the Demon Suppression Department.

Obviously, in order to allow him to run the Chamber of Commerce better, the emperor upgraded his rank and received an additional salary of dozens of taels of silver every year.

In addition, some silks and satins, and high-grade weapons and armor were transported from the capital.

The value of the reward itself is not high, but it represents the attention of Emperor Yong'an, which will make Chu Qiguang's work in Lingzhou smoother in the future.

That night, the cat demon Lulu sneaked into Chu Qiguang's house and rubbed around Chu Qiguang's feet.

Lulu was secretly happy: 'Qiao Zhi taught Zhou Yujiao in Yaoyin Village, and Bai Mi went to Shuzhou on business two days ago. Finally, it's my turn, Lulu, to take the lead! ’

Chu Qiguang touched Lulu's head, and the cat demon immediately purred, showing a look of enjoyment.

Chu Qiguang asked: "What happened?"

Lulu reported: "Your Majesty! There is a person in the team today who has been asking about Chu Qiguang's origins and finally went in the direction of Wangjiazhuang."
