Feeling the strong wind behind him, Duan Chen suddenly turned around. He tapped the tip of his toes, and his body swept backward like a swallow.
Zhan Zhao chased after him relentlessly. The distance between the tip of his sword and Duan Chen's neck was fixed at half an inch, but it was difficult for him to get any closer.
Behind him was the wall. Duan Chen stopped in his tracks and dodged to the side. The sword in Zhan Zhao's hand brushed past his chest.
"Zhan Zhao, I don't want to hurt you.”Duan Chen said when he saw Zhan Zhao rushing up again.
Zhan Zhao turned a deaf ear to him and shouted as he drew his sword,""Show me your true ability. Let me see what you're capable of!”
At this moment, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce also walked out of the hall and stood at the door to watch the battle.
"Mister Gongsun, in your opinion, what is the background of this young man?”Bao Zheng said.
Gongsun Ce looked at Duan Chen and shook his head.""I can't judge, but based on martial arts alone, I'm afraid he's even stronger than Zhan Zhao.”
"Yes."
Bao Zheng nodded. Facing Zhan Zhao's attack, the other party was obviously very relaxed and held back. Even a layman who didn't know martial arts could roughly judge who was stronger and who was weaker.
"I didn't expect Master Yuan Tong to suddenly change his mind.”Bao Zheng frowned.
"Regarding this, I am also very curious, but I don't know why.”Gongsun Ce pondered. He was also very puzzled by this matter.
Bao Zheng sighed." The Emperor has already issued an imperial edict. It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens to touch Chen Shimei again."”
"Your Excellency," Gongsun Ce suddenly said,"Could this young man have something to do with Abbot Yuantong's confession?"”
Hearing this, Bao Zheng was stunned and fell into deep thought. However, he quickly shook his head and said,"Master Yuantong has always been in Kaifeng Prefecture and has no chance to interact with outsiders.”
"That being said, with this person's ability, he might have sneaked in before.”Gongsun Ce said.
Bao Zheng nodded slightly. It was possible, but it was useless to pursue this now. What should not have happened had already happened.
While the two of them were talking, Duan Chen and Zhan Zhao had already fought for more than a hundred rounds. Duan Chen had been dodging the entire time and did not let Zhan Zhao touch even the corner of his clothes.
Zhan Zhao's expression was very serious. Only when he fought with this person would he know the depth of his opponent's martial arts. He knew that he was definitely not a match for him.
At a certain moment, Duan Chen gave up on retreating. He suddenly stepped forward and caught Zhan Zhao's sharp sword with his two fingers.
"It's really endless." " Hmph!" Duan Chen snorted coldly. His internal energy surged, and with a cracking sound, the long sword in Zhan Zhao's hand broke.
In the next moment, Duan Chen's figure flashed and appeared beside Zhan Zhao. The broken sword on his fingertip was placed horizontally across Zhan Zhao's neck.
Zhan Zhao's movements came to an abrupt halt as his vital points were caught by someone else.
"Don't hurt anyone!"
"Stay under the sword!"
Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce shouted almost at the same time. Then, they walked over quickly. At the same time, a large number of guards from Kaifeng Prefecture surrounded the place.
Duan Chen glanced at the two of them and loosened his fingers. The broken sword slipped from his fingertips and fell to the ground with a thud.
In the next moment, his body suddenly moved. His right leg was like a whip, smashing fiercely on Zhan Zhao's body.
Bang!
Zhan Zhao suffered a heavy blow and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward and landed heavily on the ground.
Duan Chen swept his gaze across the surrounding crowd and said,""If you don't want the Kaifeng Prefecture to be covered in blood, tell them to retreat.”
Bao Zheng's expression changed when he saw the other party being so ruthless. He waved his hand, indicating for everyone to put away their weapons and retreat. A person who could easily defeat Zhan Zhao was definitely not someone that Kaifeng Prefecture could keep. Why waste their effort and increase the number of casualties?
"I admire your martial arts.”Zhan Zhao struggled to get up and stared at Duan Chen.
Duan Chen didn't reply. He turned to Bao Zheng and said,""Lord Bao, the emperor has already issued a decree of amnesty. You should give up on Chen Shimei's life.”
Hearing this, Bao Zheng opened his mouth but did not refute. Instead, he changed his tone and said,"Friend, why did you go to such lengths to save Chen Shimei?”
Zhan Zhao coughed lightly and said," With your martial arts skills, you should be chivalrous and punish the wicked. However, you helped the wicked and absolved an ungrateful person like Chen Shimei. As a person in the martial arts world, I despise you!"”
Even though he knew that he was no match for Duan Chen, Zhan Zhao's words were still merciless.
Faced with their questions, Duan Chen said,""Every man for himself. Why do you say it so nicely?”
