Chapter 26: Fighting outside the city
Outside Xuzhou city.

After lying on the ground for a few breaths, Zhu Chengwu and Gu Santong turned over and sat up at the same time.

Meditate and practice qigong to heal injuries!

"Master Hou!"

"Three links!"

The warriors from Hou Mansion who came to watch the fight and Zhu Wusi each used their Qinggong skills to come in front of Zhu Chengwu and Gu Santong.

Look at each other and other spectators vigilantly.

It is worth noting that Zhu Wusi, as expected, stood on the side of Gu Santong, ignoring his brother Zhu Chengwu and protecting Gu Santong.

Of course, Zhu Chengwu, the person involved, was not surprised at all.

Chirp~~~~
Someone among the warriors watching the battle at Fu'an Marquis's Mansion fired a flare.

This is the Fu'an Marquis Mansion's signal for help.

The situation is very dangerous now!

Because of the bride-picking ceremony, Fu'an Marquis's Mansion transferred too many people to Cui's family.

There are not many forces left guarding Fu'an Marquis' Mansion.

Even fewer people are free to watch the game.

After all, many people did not expect that the unknown Gu Santong could fight with Zhu Chengwu to this extent!

When Zhu Chengwu needed someone to protect him and heal his injuries, the people in Hou's mansion realized that their strength was seriously insufficient.

Gu Santong has Zhu Wusi, a top-notch warrior, by his side. If he takes advantage of the situation and robs others, no warrior in Fu'an Marquis's mansion can stand up to him...

The warriors in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion did not know the relationship between Zhu Chengwu and Zhu Wusi.

Therefore, the cautious warriors in the Marquis' Mansion sounded the signal for help as soon as possible.

Warning Zhu Wushi!
Tell Zhu Wusi that although Zhu Chengwu was injured, the troops from Fu'an Marquis' Mansion would arrive soon, so it would be best not to have any other ideas.

What no one noticed was that Zhu Wushi, who was protecting Gu Santong, did not look at Zhu Chengwu in front of him. Instead, he glanced at Gu Santong who was meditating and practicing Qigong behind him, with the corner of his eye. At the same time, there was a dark and inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

It was agreed that each person would get one.

As a result, Gu Santong secretly learned both the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" and the "Absorbing Power Art".

And Suxin...

Not only was there a gleam in Zhu Wusi's eyes.

Among the crowd watching the battle, many people's eyes were also flashing.

As Zhu Chengwu and Gu Santong were both injured, the atmosphere around them suddenly became quiet and eerie.

Some warriors watching the fight noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quietly retreated!
There were also people spying secretly.

"A rare opportunity!
Everyone, why don't we work together to capture Zhu Chengwu and Gu Santong, force them to reveal the magical manual in their hands, and then we can share it together!"

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and spoke in seduction in the dark.

Although this world is a world of martial arts, martial arts is a prominent subject.

But the magical book is definitely something you can only come across by chance!
Judging from the intensity of the fight between Zhu Chengwu and Gu Santong and the surrounding scene which seemed to have been bombarded by artillery shells, Zhu Chengwu and Gu Santong were definitely using magical skills.

In this world, a low-level farmer can easily learn martial arts from any martial arts school, escort agency, government office or gang.

The basic martial arts are a bit more difficult to learn, but as long as you are serious about it, there is no force that will stop you from learning.

It is more difficult to go further and master the unique skills. Generally, they are passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. If an apprentice wants to learn, he must go through many tests and also take care of his master until his death.

The divine skills manuals above are even more difficult to obtain! They are something you can only encounter by chance!

Because the Divine Skills Book corresponds to the Grandmaster level, and the Grandmaster in this world is the nuclear deterrent.

Just like in Zhu Chengwu's previous life, major powers also kept the raw materials and formulas of nuclear weapons tightly under their control and would never leak them!
The magic weapon must never be shown to others easily!

In this world, the magical book is the "formula" for nuclear weapons.

As for the raw materials of nuclear weapons, they are the martial arts geniuses with extraordinary talents.

Of course, there are still miracles in this world - rare treasures from heaven and earth.

Even without a peerless physique or magical manual, as long as a warrior's strength reaches the top level and finds a rare treasure from heaven and earth that is compatible with him, there is still hope of forcibly breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

Although the chances are slim.

It's also dangerous!

But it’s an opportunity after all!
The correct way to use the rare treasures of heaven and earth is to improve the warrior's physique and lay a solid foundation for becoming a master.

Just like Zhu Chengwu before.

The reason why Zhu Chengwu was able to so quickly and smoothly improve his ordinary bones at birth to the current peerless level, in addition to the "Boy's Kung Fu (Jade)", "Hunyuan Boy's Kung Fu (Jade)", "Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu (Jade)" and Zhu's secret method deduced from the Jade Book, was more importantly, when Zhu Chengwu was 12 years old, the contemporary Ming King gave Zhu Chengwu a rare treasure in the world - the Fire Lotus.

Of course, that one is the real fire lotus.

It is not the Earth Core Fire Lotus of the Cui family that is covered with the cloak of fire lotus.

The Earth Core Fire Lotus, this high-level treasure of heaven and earth, was not something Zhu Chengwu could imagine at that time, even though Zhu Chengwu was the legitimate son of King Ming.

To be honest, the contemporary Ming King is good to Zhu Chengwu!

The Ming Dynasty did not belong to King Ming alone.

The Zhu family does not belong to King Ming alone.

The Ming King is just the one with the most shares and the most power among the two intersecting groups, the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family!

Once public anger is aroused, Ming Wang, the chairman and major shareholder, may be removed from office by other directors.

Therefore, after he came of age, Zhu Chengwu went against the wishes of Queen Zhao and followed King Ming's instructions to come to Xuzhou to be enthroned.

After all, Queen Zhao and Mrs. Zhao did not give Zhu Chengwu the magical book and rare treasures from heaven and earth.

Don’t say Zhu Chengwu is realistic, whoever gives you milk is your mother.

It’s really because Zhu Chengwu was scared by empty promises and big talk in his previous life!

But even with the identity of Ming Wang, it was already his limit to get an original copy of the "Tian Gang Tong Zi Gong" of the divine skill level and an ordinary-level rare treasure of heaven and earth - Fire Lotus for Zhu Chengwu.

If there are more, other forces of the Ming Dynasty and the elders of the Zhu family will rebel!
In fact, just this ordinary magical skill book "Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu" and an ordinary-level rare treasure of heaven and earth - Fire Lotus, caused quite a stir in the court and the Zhu family at that time.

Fortunately, King Ming and Queen Zhao are awesome!
Withstood the pressure!
From this we can see how precious the rare treasures of heaven and earth and the magical books are.

In the past, many people in Xuzhou City speculated that Zhu Chengwu had a magical book with him, but Zhu Chengwu had the Zhu family background.

In addition, Zhu Chengwu's performance was not good when he was first conferred the title. More people speculated that Zhu Chengwu did not inherit the Zhu family's magical skills.

In addition, Zhu Chengwu stayed in Fu'an Marquis Mansion all year round.

No one would risk the wrath of the world and try to capture Zhu Chengwu and force him to reveal the magical manual that he was uncertain about!

Later, when it was confirmed that Zhu Chengwu had the magical book with him, Zhu Chengwu had grown up, and the Fu'an Marquis Mansion had also developed, and was no longer a soft persimmon.

At that time, only a master could capture Zhu Chengwu silently!

And how could a grandmaster lack a manual of magical skills?
Besides, Zhu Chengwu has the Zhu family behind him. The Zhu family is the largest force in the Ming Dynasty and has no shortage of masters.

Why should one offend the greatest power of the Ming Dynasty and face absolute hostility from powerful men of the same level just for a dispensable book of magical skills?
Moreover, even if Zhu Chengwu was captured, as long as he had a bit of backbone, he might not be able to force the secret of the magic skills out of him. Instead, it would definitely anger the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Chengwu never encountered any trouble due to possessing the magical book.

But it's different now.

Now it's outside the city.

Zhu Chengwu was seriously injured.

More importantly, even if Zhu Chengwu was not touched, there was still a man named Gu Santong at the scene whose origin was unknown but who also possessed the magical book.

For the sake of the magical book, if you don't know where it came from, you can assume it has no background.

Moreover, no matter how powerful one's background is, it is not as powerful as the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s easier to deal with than Zhu Chengwu!

Take a gamble!
"Everyone, come together and capture Gu Santong alive! Let's share our skills!"

The divine power manual was right in front of them, and some people couldn't help but be tempted and responded.

Some people were bewitching, some were responding, and the warriors watching the battle, who were already excited, couldn't help but feel a little bit more excited.

"Do it!"

Some people used the same "thousand-mile voice transmission" method as Wanwan to continue to incite everyone.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore, and three masked men with swords suddenly jumped out of the woods not far away.

No nightgown, no black veil.

He simply tore off a piece of his robe and tied it around his face.

It can be seen that the three people acted on impulse.

Judging from the color and style of their robes, they were three of the first group of onlookers who had just left.

It turned out that they had not gone far away just now.

They glanced at Zhu Chengwu, then retracted their gaze and tacitly surrounded Gu Santong and Zhu Wusi.

"Gu Santong, hand over the magic manual in your hand, and we will spare your life!"

One of the three men stared at Gu Santong who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and said so.

"Our goal is just to obtain the Divine Skills Manual and gain the hope of a Grandmaster breakthrough!

Giving us a copy of the divine skills manual will not affect your subsequent practice.

Why not make things convenient for others and yourself as well? "

Another one of the three also spoke out to persuade them.

They were telling the truth, their target was indeed just the divine manual.

But if there is one, there will be two...

Where did Gu Santong get so many copies of the magical skills and secret manuals to give them?

Moreover, can they be sure that the magical skills and secret manuals that Gu Santong gave them are authentic? Do they dare to practice according to them?
You know, the more advanced your martial arts practice becomes, the less you can afford to make mistakes!

Would they consider other methods to determine this?

For example, after capturing Gu Santong, he conducted multiple comparisons.

They said they only wanted the magical book, but in fact, the conflict between them and Gu Santong was inevitable.

"If you want the divine manual, come and get it yourself?"

Gu Santong, who was closing his eyes to heal his wounds, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and rushed towards the three people.

Gu Santong didn’t think that much!

He simply didn't want anyone else to learn the "Vajra Indestructible Art"!
After all, in order to enjoy the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" alone, Gu Santong even deceived his good brother Zhu Wusi.

Seeing that someone was really trying to snatch the magic book, the martial artists who were watching left quickly.

Some people don't want to be dragged into muddy waters.

Some people also imitated the three masked men and found a secluded place to cover themselves with a layer of skin.

Although this layer of skin cannot hide it from those who are interested.

But as long as you have this layer of skin, there is room for arguing and bickering.

"retreat!"

Seeing that the masked men were targeting Gu Santong and Zhu Wusi, Zhu Chengwu signaled the warriors from the Marquis' Mansion who were protecting him to evacuate together.

Stay away from Gu Santong and Zhu Wusi!
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
Zhu Chengwu was injured too seriously. At this time, it is not appropriate to provoke the sensitive nerves of these red-eyed martial artists.

Zhu Chengwu also has a magic manual. What if those martial artists, who have become so angry, ignore Zhu's threats and want to capture Zhu Chengwu and force him to tell them the magic manual he has learned?

The seriously injured Zhu Chengwu was not sure that he could withstand the siege of so many crazy martial artists at the scene.

Just in case something unexpected happens.

Even if the Zhu family's strong men later killed all these crazy martial artists, they would avenge Zhu Chengwu!

But it's too late!

Zhu Chengwu is gone, that's it.

There is no resurrection!

Besides, Zhu Chengwu is not very familiar with Gu Santong and Zhu Wusi. One of them wants to step on Zhu Chengwu to get to the top, while the other one, although they are brothers, wants to take revenge on Zhu Chengwu to relieve the hatred of being ignored in his childhood.

How could Zhu Chengwu risk his life for them?

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?
