Chapter 836 A defeated foe dares to block my way?
Tian Yu has always lived this kind of life, going back and forth between two points, and it has hardly changed.
However, the situation has changed slightly today.
The moment Tian Yu stepped out of the North Gate, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
But then a figure appeared on the road ahead. This figure was none other than Pei Chen, a first-rank martial arts retainer of the Lu family!
"A defeated foe dares to show his face and block our path?"
Tian Yu stopped and said in a deep voice.
He recognized Pei Chen, and had even fought with him!
Three years ago, the Lu family was furious because Tian Yu had seized their goods, and sent Pei Chen to behead Tian Yu!
However, the Lu family clearly underestimated Tian Yu's strength. Although Tian Yu had just been promoted to the first rank, he had been through many battles and had already honed his killing skills!
Although Pei Chen is also a first-rank official, and it took him much longer to be promoted to first-rank than Tian Yu, his first-rank was achieved by relying on the resources of the Lu family. His foundation was inherently unstable, and his experience in fighting others was far less than that of Tian Yu!
Under these circumstances, Pei Chen was no match for Tian Yu. After exchanging only a few dozen moves, Pei Chen was slightly injured and had no choice but to flee!
It was precisely because of this encounter that Tian Yu referred to Pei Chen as a defeated opponent!
"Tian Yu, today is your death day!"
Pei Chen stood in the middle of the road, not angered in the slightest by Tian Yu's sarcasm, because in his eyes, Tian Yu was already a dead man!
"My death day? You think you can kill me?"
Tian Yu's face was full of disdain. When he was newly promoted to the first rank, Pei Chen was no match for him, let alone now.
"He alone isn't enough, so what if I join you?"
Suddenly, a voice that was both strange and familiar rang out, and then an exceptionally large figure appeared not far from Pei Chen!
Upon seeing this suddenly appearing figure, Tian Yu's expression changed slightly: "Barbarian King Wu Tu!"
The figure that suddenly appeared was two and a half meters tall, with a huge body like a giant. His exposed skin and cheeks were covered with strange runes. He was none other than the Barbarian King who made countless people in Kyushu tremble with fear!
Unlike the Xia people, the barbarian tribes revered strength and respected the strong!
The Barbarian King is the strongest among the entire Barbarian tribe. He possesses superhuman strength, able to fight tigers and wolves barehanded at the age of eight, and fight a mid-level martial artist at the age of thirteen. As an adult, he can even rival a third-level martial artist!
It was precisely because of his overwhelming power that Wu Tu was able to ascend to the throne of the Barbarian King at the age of twenty-five and be revered as the common lord by all the barbarians!
When Wu Tu ascended to the throne of the Barbarian King, he already possessed strength comparable to a first-rank martial artist. Now, more than ten years later, Wu Tu's strength is no less than that of a peak first-rank martial artist!
Over the years, Wu Tu has frequently led small groups of barbarian troops to invade the Great Wall. Tian Yu has fought against him countless times and is naturally aware of Wu Tu's strength.
It is precisely because of the existence of Wu Tu that Tian Yu needs to be stationed at the Great Wall year-round; otherwise, if Wu Tu were to attack, it would likely cause incalculable losses to the Great Wall army!
"The Lu family really has a lot of influence!"
Tian Yu said with a solemn expression, "They actually managed to get the Barbarian King to take action. It seems the Lu family is determined to kill me?"
Tian Yu had always known that the Lu family had a deep-rooted connection with the barbarians, but he never expected...
The Lu family actually managed to get Wu Tu to attack him!
You must know that Wu Tu is the Barbarian King, equivalent to the emperor of the barbarians. He holds an extremely high position among the barbarians. The fact that the Lu family could invite the Barbarian King to take action suggests that the collusion between the Lu family and the barbarians is probably deeper than Tian Yu imagined!
"Humph!"
Pei Chen snorted coldly and said, "Tian Yu, you have repeatedly opposed my clan and have long been destined to die! Today, I will take your head to make up for the losses of my clan!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Yu laughed and said loudly, "A family of sages has actually colluded with foreign races. It is truly disgusting! I wonder how the scholars of the world will view the Lu family after they learn of this?"
"You don't need to worry about that!"
Pei Chen laughed mockingly, "After you die, naturally no one will know about this."
"Is it?"
Before Pei Chen could finish speaking, a figure landed beside Tian Yu, smiling mockingly, "I also know about this matter. I wonder if the Lu family also intends to silence me?"
"You are……"
Pei Chen squinted at the figure for a moment, his expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in shock, "You're Li Qiao?"
Among ordinary people, Li Qiao's reputation may not be well-known, and even among the people of Kyushu, very few people know the name Li Qiao.
However, in a powerful family like the Lu family, Li Qiao's reputation was renowned!
Li Qiao, who single-handedly led Li Mingyuan out of the capital, can be said to be one of the strongest people in the world. Even Pei Chen, a retainer of the Lu family, dared not underestimate him in the slightest!
Therefore, the moment Pei Chen recognized Li Qiao, his expression turned extremely ugly, and he said in an icy voice, "Li Qiao, do you really intend to interfere in the affairs of my Lu family?"
"What, is your Lu family going to threaten me?"
Li Qiao said with a grin, "I, Li Qiao, am afraid of everything, except threats!"
After saying that, Li Qiao continued, "The Lu family enslaves the people, colludes with barbarians, and brings disaster to the country and its people. They deserve to be exterminated!"
"Good good!"
A fierce glint flashed in Pei Chen's eyes, and he said ruthlessly, "Since you want to interfere in the affairs of my Lu family, then you shall die with Tian Yu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, figures appeared behind Pei Chen, each exuding a powerful aura. They were the martial artists who had been tempted by the Dragon Beard Grass and agreed to the Lu family's request to attack Tian Yu!
"Tian Yu, Li Qiao, today is your death day!"
Pei Chen roared and took the lead, leaping up with his long sword in hand. In an instant, he appeared beside Li Qiao, slashing out with a cold light, aiming straight for Li Qiao's neck.
"Well done!"
Li Qiao remained completely calm, drew his wood-chopping knife from his waist, and swung it backhand!
clang!
The woodcutter's axe clashed with the sword light, shattering the sword light instantly. Immediately afterward, Li Qiao's woodcutter's axe continued its momentum, slashing straight at Pei Chen!
Pei Chen's expression changed, and he quickly raised his longsword to parry!
The next moment, the immense force emanating from the sword sent Pei Chen flying backward involuntarily.
However, Pei Chen was ultimately a first-rank martial artist, and such an attack was clearly not enough to injure him. After tumbling a few times in the air to dissipate the force, Pei Chen landed steadily on the ground.
However, his expression was extremely ugly. In just one brief exchange, he realized the gap between himself and Li Qiao!
He was only at the first-grade level, while Li Qiao was at the peak of the first-grade level. There was a clear difference between the two in the quality and explosiveness of their true qi.
Therefore, even though Pei Chen's weapon was a precious sword bestowed upon him by the Lu family that could cut through iron like mud, while Li Qiao was holding an ordinary woodcutter's knife, Pei Chen still suffered a small loss in a head-on confrontation!
