Chapter 446 Today is a good day to slay the dragon!

Tu Bi Weng, Hei Baizi and Dan Qingsheng all looked pale.

Seeing this, Xin Zhen comforted him, "Don't think too much. We have to gain a foothold in Jiangnan East Road. It's only a matter of time before we confront the Dragon Clan. If they don't come to us, we will come to them. If we don't drive them out, we can't really control Jiangnan East Road. So, there's no point in being afraid."

Huang Zhonggong nodded and said, "That's right. Since there is no room for reconciliation between us and the Dragon Clan, there is nothing to say. Brothers, if you are afraid, pack up and go back to the mainland. If you want to work hard with the young master to build a career, then life and death are determined by fate."

Dan Qingsheng and the other two looked at each other. Hei Baizi gritted his teeth and said, "I did it. I don't want to be a little sparrow all my life. I want to be an eagle soaring in the sky! I don't want to be looked down upon by that bastard Fan Jie!"

Bald Pen Master also laughed when he heard this. Although his face was still a little pale, his shiny bald head and wrinkles on his face actually showed some youthful spirit. He said, "That's right. We must not let Fan Jie, that bastard, look down on us. Back then, the four of us were famous rising stars in Huajing, but his comments ruined our mood.

These past few years, we have only been guarding the Dragon Locking Well. We have been living in a daze for the past thirty years. Even our original ambitions have vanished into thin air. It is time for the world to remember us. The Four Beauties of Qiantang did not become so famous by being cowards! "

Tu Bi Weng's words about the Four Beauties of Qiantang made the four friends at Meizhuang all look nostalgic.

"The Four Beauties of Qiantang, I haven't heard of them in so many years." Dan Qingsheng's eyes sparkled. He shook his sleeves, as if brushing off decades of dust, and his expression gradually became full of vigor and vitality.

"I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry wine, but it's not like the youth's travels... Who said it's not like the youth's travels? Big brother, second brother, third brother, thirty years have passed, and we are old, but so what? From today on, I, Danqingsheng, will still wear flowers in my hair and carry wine in my boat. As long as my heart is as young as a boy, how can it not be like the youth's travels? I will not admit old age!"

Dan Qingsheng looked at Xin Zhen and said, "Sir, I, Dan Qingsheng, have never been very obedient to anyone in my life. I may not obey you now, but I will follow you, not for anything else, just to live this life for my dream. Whether it's life or death, I have no regrets. I just hope that you are really capable and don't let me down!"

Xin Zhen laughed when he heard that and said, "I, Xin Zhen, never let anyone down. You will know the details in the future. It may not take too long, at most ten years later, you will be especially grateful for who you are today and for the decision you made today!"

The four friends at Plum Manor all laughed when they heard this. Danqingsheng said in high spirits, "Okay, we have some good wine at the manor. Let's get drunk today!"

Huang Zhonggong rarely scolded Dan Qingsheng. His slightly white eyebrows trembled rapidly, showing his joy and the rare spirit of a young man. He laughed loudly and said, "That's right, we have to get drunk today. The Four Beauties of Qiantang are back in action today, so how can we not drink to our heart's content! Hahaha!"

The four friends of Meizhuang held hands, looked at each other, and laughed loudly. A heroic spirit was overwhelming. Xin Zhen stood on one side, smiling as he looked at the four brothers who were in high spirits.

It seems like I haven’t seen such a heroic scene for many years. When was the last time?
Xin Zhen has a good memory, but he can't remember some things.

But Xin Zhen knew in his heart that his time in the martial world had come again.

That night, Xin Zhen and the four friends of Meizhuang drank all night long, discussed swordsmanship with Danqingsheng, talked about Go with Heibaizishou, competed in calligraphy with Tubiweng, and played the piano with Huang Zhonggong to entertain.

Before Xin Zhen conquered the four people with his strategy, he first conquered them in their respective areas of expertise.

Finally, Dan Qingsheng said with emotion: "Young Master's talent is truly profound. It is extremely difficult for a person to reach the top in one field in his lifetime, but Young Master is so good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It really makes people have to admire him!"

On the second day, the four friends of Meizhuang dismissed the servants and wanted to burn down Meizhuang, but were stopped by Xin Zhen, who said with a smile: "We are not bandits in the mountains, why should we burn down the house? Let's keep it, it will be very useful in the future."

Meizhuang is protected by its own formation, and ordinary people cannot enter. If no one takes care of it, it will probably fall into decline soon.

Huang Zhonggong saw that Xin Zhen had other uses, so he simply kept him as a housekeeper and selected a few diligent and reliable servants to stay, instructing them to take good care of the family and not let it decline.

Xin Zhen explained to the four of them: "Our Gongmuzhi's jurisdiction covers the entire Jiangnan East Road. I don't know how other jurisdictions do things, but we have our own ideas about Gongmuzhi.

If we want to truly control the East Road of Jiangnan, each prefecture must have a government office, and the officials in the prefecture must administer under the guidance of our Gongmuzhi government office.

Our public governance not only requires us to preach, but also to govern people and those who are different from us. In public governance, we want to be the real people who have the final say. "

Dan Qingsheng was surprised and asked, "Then wouldn't we become the court of Jiangnan East Road?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Your understanding is fine. The world is in chaos, and I can't control too much. But if Jiangnan East Road is under my rule, I must keep it safe. No matter if it's a human or a demon, even if it's a fairy, god or Buddha, I have to treat them with kindness, otherwise I won't let him go."

The four friends of Meizhuang looked at each other in bewilderment, and suddenly they all remembered Fan Jie's arrogant words: "What little sparrow dares to ask me about my future?"

Once again, they felt the differences between people. They planned to do big things with Xin Zhen, but what specific big things were? They probably wanted to fight for the world, but they had never thought about what they would do after fighting for the world. They just wanted to prove themselves to Fan Jie.

But Xin Zhen's ambition to look down on the world and regard immortals, gods and Buddhas as equals truly made them realize the difference between a small sparrow and an eagle in the sky.

This is the pattern.

People always talk about pattern, pattern, but what is pattern?

Many people understand many principles, but they insist on insisting on every principle, arguing about every principle, and following every principle. This shows a narrow vision.

What do people with a big vision do? They find the greatest truth among many truths, and then all other truths follow this great truth. This is the real big vision.

The four friends of Meizhuang were all impressed in their hearts. At this point, whether because of their own situation or because of their admiration for Xin Zhen's pattern, their bond with Xin Zhen became deeper and deeper.

After dealing with the matters at Meizhuang, Xin Zhen and the four friends of Meizhuang left the manor and were about to set off back to Wujiang. However, just as they were out of the protection of the formation of Meizhuang, Ao Zhang, who was sleeping soundly lying on his back in the West Lake, was awakened.

It sniffed and said in surprise, "Such a strong smell of water essence, which tribe's brothers are here? This shouldn't be the case. If there is nothing important, the dragon tribe will not gather together. Could it be that they are here to urge me to find the Dragon Locking Well as soon as possible?"

Ao Zhang immediately swam out quickly from the bottom of the lake, and the sky above West Lake was immediately covered with dark clouds. A violent storm came suddenly, driving away all the tourists in West Lake, and then he jumped into the clouds.

Xin Zhen and the other five had already noticed the sudden storm. Dan Qingsheng sneered and said, "That evil beast is stirring up trouble again."

The four friends at Meizhuang all frowned.

Xin Zhen was a little hesitant and said, "It seems to be coming for us?" Huang Zhonggong frowned and said, "We just came out, it can't find us so quickly, right?"

Xin Zhen suddenly said: "Here it comes!"

Sure enough, a large mass of dark clouds suddenly approached this side, and then a huge dragon head poked out from the dark clouds, and dragon eyes as big as lanterns shot towards the five people. They were stunned for the first time, but then they were overjoyed and said in a muffled voice, "Great! The four friends of Meizhuang, you four cowards have finally come out. Hahahaha, wait until I capture you and force you to tell me the location of the Dragon Locking Well. You deserve the credit, hahahaha!"

Huang Zhonggong looked at Xin Zhen and said, "Sir, should we avoid him now, or?"

Xin Zhen understood what Huang Zhonggong meant. Huang Zhonggong meant to continue hiding and it was not appropriate to have an open conflict with the dragon clan now.

Xin Zhen shook his head and smiled, "Is there still room for reconciliation between us and the Dragon Clan?"

Huang Zhong said: "We are still relatively weak now, should we wait and see?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious may make it difficult to accomplish big things. Today I will kill the Dragon King of Qiantang River and raise the banner of Gong Muzhi.

Of course there are disadvantages. It is possible that the dragon clan will be furious and gather together to attack. But there are also many advantages. Once the momentum is raised, naturally many strange people will come to join.

We will increase our momentum, and Longhu Mountain will see our strength and be willing to support us. We can then take the opportunity to expand our influence."

Xin Zhen looked at the four friends of Plum Manor and said, "So, we must slay the dragon today! It can also be regarded as getting rid of this harm to the people of Hangzhou!"

Huang Zhonggong felt Xin Zhen's ambition and thought that perhaps this was the quality of someone who truly accomplished great things. He and his four brothers were still far behind him.

Huang Zhonggong nodded and said, "Then leave it to the four of us brothers."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "You guys help me hold the line, I want to see how powerful this evil dragon is!"

After he finished speaking, Xin Zhen turned into a ray of clear light that shot straight into the dark clouds. Suddenly, a huge dragon claw stretched out from the dark clouds and grabbed Xin Zhen.

In the clear light, Xin Zhen watched the huge dragon claws grabbing him fiercely. Xin Zhen remained calm, pinched a spell, and said softly: "A steep mountain range crosses the sky."

A ray of clear light came extremely quickly, just like a mountain range that suddenly flew across the sky, blocking Xin Zhen and Long Zhua.

Ao Zhang snorted in the dark clouds and said, "Fancy moves!"

His dragon claws suddenly grabbed down, trying to destroy Xin Zhen's flying sword in one go, but the clear light suddenly disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.

This move is the "Jun Ling Xuan Kong" from Taishan School's sword technique. It comes extremely fast and goes like lightning and thunder. It is just a sword technique to lure the enemy into deep.

Ao Zhang's dragon claw lost its target and paused for a moment. This was the fighter plane created by Xin Zhen!

"The Heavenly Gentleman is hanging upside down!" Xin Zhen shouted loudly, and a brilliant and clear light suddenly pointed directly at the dragon in the dark clouds. The light suddenly rolled back like a waterfall, going upstream and rushing up to the blue sky!
This move is the Huashan sword technique.

Tianshen means waterfall, and Tianshen upside down, as the name suggests, is a waterfall flowing upstream.

In other words, this is a sword technique that has the power to go against a waterfall.

The clear light swept up and met the dragon claws. The dragon claws were the hardest in the world. When they came into contact with the clear light, there was a sound of metal collision. It was not considered a disadvantage, but the dragon feet were not as hard as the dragon claws. The moment they came into contact with the clear light, countless dragon scales shattered and dragon blood splattered. Ao Zhang let out a shocking roar!
However, the clear light rolled back and went straight towards the dragon's head. Ao Zhang knew that the clear light was incredibly powerful, so he didn't dare to take it head-on. He cried out in surprise and raised his head to avoid it.

Now that they were already so close, how could the battle-hardened Xin Zhen miss such a good opportunity? He immediately let out a roar.

"Seven stars falling from the sky!"

Seven meteors fell from the sky above the clouds and enveloped Ao Zhang. Ao Zhang was horrified to find that no matter which direction he dodged, he would be stabbed by the sword. Seeing that there was no escape, Ao Zhang roared angrily and only dodged one sword from the dragon head. He ignored the rest of the sword lights and grabbed Xin Zhen fiercely with his claws.

Even if I risk getting injured, I must kill this guy in front of me on the spot!
Xin Zhen chuckled, and a streak of clear light came like a willow in the wind, and the dragon claws waved away. Of the seven clear lights, only the sword on the dragon head missed, and the other six swords fell on Ao Zhang's back.

Ao Zhang suddenly let out a cry of unbearable pain.

"Roar!"

Ao Zhang rolled around in pain in the clouds.

Above the West Lake, the four friends of Meizhuang stood by the water, looking up at the dark clouds. Their worried eyes looked through the clouds to see a dragon and a man fighting in the clouds.

Among the layers of dark clouds, a ray of clear light kept flashing around Ao Zhang. The giant dragon roared in pain, and then heavy rain with a bloody color fell from the sky.

The four friends of Meizhuang were all shocked. They had not expected that Xin Zhen was fighting a real dragon with the realm of a seventh-level warrior!
Generally speaking, dragons like Ao Zhang who are able to guard the Qiantang River are basically equivalent to human Jindan peak cultivators. When their Nascent Soul stage does not emerge, they are the peak combat power in the world.

Moreover, the dragon race is much stronger than human cultivators, and they have countless mysterious magical powers. It is extremely difficult to defeat such a dragon one-on-one unless you are a Jindan cultivator with a great inheritance.

The four friends of Meizhuang just wanted to kill Ao Zhang, and they planned to surround him with four people. However, they also knew in their hearts that they might not be able to stop Ao Zhang, because the flying speed of the dragon clan was too fast, and it would be difficult for human cultivators to catch up with them unless they were good at flying.

However, Xin Zhen relied on his own strength and actually gained the upper hand in a short period of time. Not only that, he even injured Ao Zhang. It seemed that Ao Zhang's injury was not light!

The fight between a man and a dragon in the sky above the West Lake also attracted the attention of the powerful people in Hangzhou, and many of them cast their eyes towards the sky above the West Lake.
