Volume 1 Chushan Bandits Chapter 48: Parting ways is common
In just a cup of tea's time, all fifteen young men from Huolu Hall, including Xu Zhongyu's grandson Xu Xin, were beaten to a state with bloody heads and bruised eyes. They either avoided in fear from afar or lay on the ground groaning and wailing, but no one could survive more than three moves from Xu Huai.
Who dares to believe what they see?
It would be difficult to knock down fifteen pigs in just a cup of tea, but all of Xu's daughters had broken bones and tendons, and were either lying or hiding. No one dared to stand up and face Xu Huai again.
When everyone looked at Xu Huai again at this time, he was truly a vicious tiger emerging from the mountains.
Even though Xu Huai did not kill people indiscriminately, most of them were beaten to a bloody pulp by him. His fair face and clothes were also stained with blood, making him look particularly hideous.
Hard things are easy to break, and the long sticks used by the young men in Huolu Hall to practice spears were not of good quality. They knocked a group of young men down, and the third long stick also broke into two pieces in Xu Huai's hands.
However, the ground was littered with fallen sticks. Xu Huai picked up a long stick and rushed towards Xu Chen, who already had fear in his eyes, like a tiger, yelling crazily:
"Xu Chen, tell your mother to kill your uncle! Tell your mother to kill your uncle!"
Xu Chen was terrified, and he didn't dare to fight with the murderous Xu Huai. He turned around and fled to the corridor, shouting to Xu Wuqi, "Uncle Wuqi, save me! Xu Huai is murderous! This idiot Xu Huai is murderous."
Whether Xu Huai was crazy or not, Xu Wuqi and others could see clearly that at least he had not crossed the line.
Therefore, many farmhands who had rushed over after hearing the news were still standing outside the courtyard wall watching the excitement. On the one hand, they were shocked by Xu Huai's ferocity, and on the other hand, they sighed at the incompetence of the young men.
Among the fifteen or sixteen teenagers, if there were three or five who were not afraid of death and were not greedy for credit, they would not have been beaten so badly.
Xu Chen wanted to escape, but Xu Huai didn't want to let him go. He rushed forward, and when Xu Chen was three steps away from the stone steps in front of the corridor, he swept the ground flat, and the long stick in his hand was like a steel whip, lashing down at the back of Xu Chen's head.
On the battlefield, spears and guns are rarely used for whipping. Xu Huai's move was adapted from the "Fu Mang Dao Chong Bu Zhan Hu" move. He mainly used footwork to accurately adjust the waist, legs, soles of the feet, spine and other parts of the body, and then suddenly burst out all the strength in the body and poured it into this whip (and slash) from mid-air.
Xu Huai's stick was really fierce, and one could hear the sharp whistling sound of the stick in the air.
Although Xu Chen was frightened, he heard the blast of wind and knew that the stick that Xu Huai was chasing him with from behind was quite powerful. He turned around, raised the long stick, and tilted his head to one side.
Xu Chen was also smart enough. He did this to avoid the long stick in his hand being directly broken by Xu Huai, who had great natural strength, and then hitting his head.
With a loud "crack", the two sticks that collided with each other broke instantly.
However, the force used by Xu Huai was so great that it was unimaginable. The long stick he smashed down seemed to explode in the middle, and wood chips and splinters flew everywhere. Xu Chen's relatively fair face was immediately scratched with several bloody marks.
If the long stick in Xu Huai's hand had not been too hard and brittle, Xu Chen doubted that he would still be alive. Sweat ran down his back, and he felt that this guy had such great strength that even if he turned his head, he would lose half his life if his shoulder and neck were hit hard, right?
Why would I bother to provoke this killer for no reason?
Xu Chen was really scared. Seeing Xu Huai actually bending down to pick up the long stick that he had knocked down from behind him, he tumbled up the stairs and asked Xu Wuqi and Xu Wukun for help.
Seeing Xu Huai's crazy and heavy shaking, the farmhands and teachers who were watching the fun outside the courtyard wall gasped and were terrified.
They didn't know how to explain to the head of the family if they really saw Xu Chen being beaten to death by Xu Huai. At this time, seeing Xu Huai actually going to pick up the long stick and continue chasing Xu Chen, they were shocked and angry and cursed:
"Nonsense! Nonsense, you bastard, stop it now, do you want to kill someone?"
Xu Huai bent down to pick up the long stick on the ground. A strong wind blew towards him. He bent his left knee and knelt on the ground. His body turned several inches to the left. The long stick hit his left shoulder and stopped abruptly.
"How can Huolu Hall be a place for a little beast like you to run wild? Get out!" Xu Wuqi pointed a long stick at Xu Huai's shoulder and neck and shouted harshly.
"Give me back my bow!"
Xu Huai didn't know when the long stick in Xu Wuqi's hand would turn into a storm of thorns and cover him. He remained kneeling on one knee and didn't dare to stand up immediately. However, he also grabbed a long stick behind him, ready to avoid Xu Wuqi's first thorn and fight back at any time.
"Tell Xu Wuliang to have the guts to come into Huolu Hall and get it!" Xu Wuqi glanced at Xu Wuliang who appeared from behind the old locust tree outside the courtyard, then stared at Xu Huai and said threateningly, "Or maybe you are confident that you can win the long stick in my hand!"
Seeing that two instructors were protecting Xu Chen and Xu Wuqi took action himself, the other instructors and farmhands felt a little relieved and did not rush into the field.
"How difficult is it to beat you?"
Xu Huai was also in the mood for fighting. Seeing Xu Wuqi slightly retract his long stick to allow him to make the first move, he grabbed the long stick with his left hand and slid it forward , turning the tail of the stick into the head, and then holding it with both hands. He squatted down and stabbed towards Xu Wuqi's lower abdomen, and the head of the stick came out of a hole like a poisonous python.
Xu Wuqi did not dodge. The long stick in his hand also emerged like a poisonous dragon and stabbed towards Xu Huai's chest like lightning.
"snort!"
Xu Huai felt as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He could not help but roll backwards to relieve the huge force, but he was also extremely uncomfortable as his breath was stuck in his chest.
He remained in a crouching, alert posture, holding a long stick in his hand, staring at Xu Wuqi, who was still standing there but not attacking him. Only then did he realize that after the exchange of stabbings, he was already at a disadvantage.
"I can't beat you, so I don't want this bow!" Xu Huai stood up, broke the long stick in two, threw it into the arena with hatred, and turned to walk out of the gate of the martial arts field.
"Uncle Wuqi, why did you let this little beast go?" Xu Chen shouted.
"Isn't that embarrassing enough?" Xu Wuqi scolded coldly, and handed the long stick to Xu Chen, "If you have the ability, go and keep this little beast!"
Xu Chen did not dare to say anything else. He knew that Xu Wuqi was ruthless and ruthless. If he annoyed him, his status as a young master would be useless.
But Xu Wuqi was just such a person, and his father trusted him the most. It was useless for him to go and complain.
At this time, Xu Wuliang walked to the front of the camp gate and met Xu Huai, who had suffered a serious blow to the chest and had difficulty walking. After handing him the straight-backed long sword, he looked coldly at the many farmhands and instructors who surrounded him on both sides.
There are now more than fifty instructors and farmhands in the Lutai camps, and the most powerful ones are the twelve old soldiers who returned from the Jingsheng Army.
However, Xu Wuliang knew in his heart that not everyone would cherish the old friendship, or the old friendship could not outweigh the current compromise, three meals a day, their wives and children, or even their urgent desire to please the head of the family, Xu Wufu.
This made him feel unhappy, but he could do nothing about it!
Xu Huai rubbed his still painful chest, held the knife in his arms, turned around and looked at Xu Wuqi who was still standing in front of the martial arts arena: "I will come back in a few days to ask for the longbow."
"If you dare to come here, you beast, I am ready to fight you anytime. But you must remember that I received some favors from your father in my early years, but I have already repaid you with that stick just now. If you dare to come here again in the future, don't blame me for leaving you with one leg as a thought." Xu Wuqi said coldly.
"snort!"
Xu Huai came here today with the intention of establishing his authority, but he did not expect that he would be taught a lesson by Xu Wuqi in the end. Without further ado, he walked out of the village with Xu Wuliang.
After Xu Huai left, all the irrelevant farmhands dispersed, and the teachers and students of Huolu Hall carried the young men who were injured by Xu Huai to the thatched cottage at the back to apply medicine and bandage their wounds.
Xu Chen did not dare to chase Xu Huai, but he was dissatisfied with Xu Wuqi for showing some mercy in the end. Looking at the mess and bloodstains on the field, he complained:
"We can clearly crush this bastard's arrogance today, so why let him go so easily? Uncle Wu Qi, aren't you here every day? If he doesn't come tomorrow and comes to cause trouble the day after tomorrow, do we have to prepare bows and swords to defend against him?"
"...It's better to prepare swords and bows in case he comes to cause trouble!" Xu Wuqi said coldly.
" ..."
Xu Chen said he was preparing a sword and bow just to vent his resentment, but he didn't expect Xu Wuqi to really agree with him. When he looked up, he saw blood oozing from the corner of Xu Wuqi's mouth, and he was standing there in a daze.
He had never expected that as a result of the exchange of blows between the two just now, Xu Wuqi was actually more seriously injured, and he was just holding on to scare Xu Huai away!
When the other teachers and young men in the courtyard saw this scene, they were all stunned.
Although Xu Wujiang is also from the direct line of the Wu generation, he was still young when Xu Wuxuan, Xu Wuqi and others joined the army. It was only after Xu Wuxuan and Xu Wuqi returned home that he had the opportunity to learn the Fu Mang Fist and the use of swords and spears. Therefore, he is more regarded as a person of the later generation.
There is still controversy in the clan as to who is stronger between Xu Wujiang and Xu Wuqi, but there is no doubt that in the eyes of the young students from all clans in Huolu Hall, Xu Wuqi is invincible.
He exchanged moves with Xu Huai and ended up at a disadvantage?
That ruffian followed Xu Wujiang to the Huaiyuan military camp for two years. I heard that he made countless jokes. How could his skills be even better than Xu Wuqi's?
A few young men wanted to go to the armory in the backyard to get real swords and guns. At this time, they were filled with fear and couldn't help but think that if they really got the real swords and guns, and that bastard snatched one of them, wouldn't they be killed by him today and a river of blood would flow?
"It's all because of you unfinished things. You forgot everything I taught you in normal times when you were in battle, and let that little beast show off its power!" Xu Wuqi scolded harshly, "From tomorrow on, if anyone dares to come after the hour of the zodiac, I will break his legs! From tomorrow on, everyone must practice the art of encirclement and killing in military formations. If that little beast comes to cause trouble again, and you dozen of people can't defeat him, then find a place to kill him! I can't afford to lose face like that again."
"Just return the longbow to him. Why are all these things going on? The longbow originally belonged to him." Xu Wukun couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"You're still speaking for that little bastard?" Xu Wuqi was furious when he heard what Xu Wukun said, "Are you gloating over the fact that I was stabbed by that little bastard and bled?"
"Why do you talk like that?" Xu Wukun said angrily, irritated.
"It's because you indulged that little beast that he could do whatever he wanted!" Xu Wuqi was so angry that he hit Xu Wukun on the head with the long stick in his hand.
"Wu Qi! Wu Qi, calm down. Wu Kun said this because he was afraid of hurting the relationship."
Many instructors were shocked and rushed forward to separate the two furious men who were about to fight. Of course, Xu Wuqi had always had a bad temper and was ruthless, so everyone tried to persuade him first.
Xu Wukun was so angry that he wanted to destroy the world and ascend to heaven. He didn't expect that Xu Wuqi not only didn't care about their old friendship, but also took his anger out on him.
He tried hard not to fight with Xu Wuqi, but he was still furious. He kicked the weapon rack next to him away, spat viciously, and cursed at Xu Wuqi:
"You want to be Xu Wufu's dog? Go ahead. I won't tolerate this bully from now on!"
Xu Wukun and Xu Wuqi are cousins, and are considered to be very close blood relatives in the Xu family.
Even though Xu Wuqi had a bad temper sometimes, Xu Wukun would usually endure it, but today he just couldn't stand it anymore. This scene made everyone stare at each other, not knowing how to reconcile...
