Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...

In the mountain forest, a series of metal collisions sounded continuously.

Cheng Qingshan held the heavy sword and waved it continuously, his steps were erratic, like a strong wind, rushing through the crowd.

His eyes were red, his hair was flying wildly, and his whole body erupted with a tyrannical aura that could only be controlled by one man.

The sword light flickers and the afterimage is blurred!

Blood was flying everywhere, and broken limbs and broken arms were constantly being thrown into the crowd.

"my hand!"

"Help!"

"Stop him."

In the midst of the chaotic rush, a burst of screams sounded continuously, which seemed particularly miserable and harsh.

Cheng Qingshan held an epee in his hand and faced the siege of a group of black-clad killers. He was not afraid at all, and his moves were powerful and powerful.

The one-eared young man and the strong man in red robe who were skimming the formation not far away could not help but frown when they saw this.

"Hmph, there are so many people who can't even deal with an acquired extreme martial artist. They are just a bunch of drunkards." The one-eared young man gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

The strong man in red robe said indifferently: "Cheng Qingshan is a peak acquired warrior. If you want to catch him, ordinary acquired warriors can't do it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take action." The one-eared young man said with a smile.

This strong man in red robe is named Zhuge Yuanfeng. He is the biological brother of Zhuge Yuanhou, the lord of Red Tiger City. He is one of the two people responsible for hunting down Cheng Qingshan and Zhuge Yan this time.

Hearing the words of the one-eared young man He Lianjie, he suddenly frowned and looked a little unbearable.

One of the young men and women he was chasing was his niece, and the other was a guard of their family.

This guard was born into a wealthy family and lived a life of fine clothing and fine food.

However, when he was young, his family fell into decline and he was left alone and helpless. Fortunately, the city lord adopted him from an early age and taught him the secrets of inner strength and taught him carefully.

Cheng Qingshan is also quite impressive at this time. He has reached the peak acquired level before he was thirty years old. He is extremely talented and is deeply appreciated by the city lord.

She has been following Zhuge Yan, the daughter of the city lord, since she was a child, and has been her personal protector.

The two of them are childhood sweethearts.

As time goes by, the relationship between the two gradually changes, from a master-servant relationship to a couple.

However, Cheng Qingshan has no power and no background at all. His marriage to the city lord's daughter is destined to be looked down upon.

Although he has some talent in martial arts, this achievement is nothing to the masters in the city lord's mansion of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

At best, he is just a talented warrior with some success, that's all.

In the land of Canglan, marriage has always relied on the words of the matchmaker, the orders of the parents, and the right match.

Cheng Qingshan, a low-status family guard, has no virtue and ability, and what qualifications do he have to be worthy of a noble daughter?

Later, his ambiguous relationship with the city lord's daughter was discovered, and he was immediately obstructed by many elders of the family. At the same time, he was also ostracized by many clan members in all aspects.

Cheng Qingshan's life was in embarrassment, and his life was miserable. He devoted himself to martial arts, practicing hard day and night, eager to reach the realm of sword master, and then he jumped over the dragon's gate.

Fortunately, Zhuge Yan was considerate and protected Cheng Qingshan at all times, so he was not driven out of the city lord's mansion.

It's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish.

Within a few months, He Lianjie's appearance suddenly broke the peace of Chihu City.

This Helianjie is the one-eared young man, a member of the Helian family.

Of course, he is not a direct descendant.

The Helian family now has a swordsman in charge, many soldiers, generals, and masters. It is known as the first family in the Canglan land. It is divided into one party and its power is overwhelming.

Not to mention those elite soldiers and generals, there are more than 100,000 members of their family, and their overt and covert forces are spread across every corner of the Canglan land.

However, there are many internal factions, which are intertwined and divided into nine branches.

Each lineage is a direct blood relative of the Helian family, but among these blood relatives, there are also distant cousins ​​besides wives, children, and parents. Anyway, the relationship is complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

This He Lianjie is a distant cousin who belongs to one of the lineages, but his aunt belongs to the direct lineage.

In order to gain recognition from the Helian family, Helianjie was adopted by his aunt since he was a child and his surname was changed to Helian.

The reason why he came to Red Tiger City was to win over the Lord of Red Tiger City, hoping to use his troops and power to fight for the Helian family and make contributions.

In this way, wouldn't it be that He Lianjie's status within the family would rise, and he would take control of one side and become a man of great influence in the land?

But who is this Red Tiger City Lord? He is an extremely shrewd person. How could he not guess his intentions? He just did not refuse directly face to face and used many excuses to evade him.

Knowing that the Lord of Chihu City had no intention of sending troops, He Lianjie was distraught, deeply shocked, and extremely depressed.

Now, it is a good opportunity for the Helian family to open up territory and rule the world. If he misses it like this, when the overall situation is decided, Helianjie will completely lose the opportunity to make contributions. How can he be willing to do so?

After thinking about it, he suddenly came up with an idea. The best way was to get married.

The Lord of Red Tiger City has no children, but only one daughter. He values ​​her more than his own life and treats her like the apple of his eye.

If he could marry his precious daughter and become his strange son-in-law who rides a dragon, wouldn't it be a matter of course to borrow soldiers and horses when the time comes?

Thinking of this, He Lianjie was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights, so he chose a good and auspicious day, paid a heavy betrothal gift, and went to the house of the Lord of Chihu City to propose marriage with gongs and drums.

Seeing such a battle, the Lord of Chihu City was neither happy nor sad, and his heart was broken. He did not expect that He Lianjie would come to such a show.

He Lianjie is just a small figure in the Helian family, and is not worth mentioning to a big figure like the Lord of Chihu City.

But the Helian family behind him is a behemoth and cannot be offended at all.

He wanted to refuse directly, but this refusal would offend the Helian family.

Offending the Helian family would be tantamount to causing a huge disaster and catastrophe.

Lord Chihu City felt deeply embarrassed.

The Helian family is prosperous, with luxuriant roots and luxuriant leaves. The power of the family covers the sky with one hand. Now the Helian family dominates the world. The land of Canglan is raging with war, affecting all the major family forces.

In particular, Helian Sword Immortal, who has seen the beginning but not the end of the dragon, has great ambitions and has the potential to dominate the world.

It is estimated that within a few days, troops will arrive at the city and lead an army to attack Chihu City.

Facing the thousands of troops and elite generals of the Helian family, Red Tiger City was simply unable to resist.

If you anger the other party, it may even cause greater trouble.

How the Zhuge family can gain a foothold on the land of Canglan has always been a vexing problem.

For the sake of the family, for the tens of thousands of ordinary people, and for the centuries-old foundation of Red Tiger City.

Faced with He Lianjie's coercion and inducement, the Lord of Chihu City weighed it again and again, and had no choice but to marry his beloved Zhuge Yan to He Lianjie and join the Helian family in order to find a safe place.

But Zhuge Yan already had someone he wanted in his heart, so how could he agree to this marriage?

He wanted to escape overnight, but was discovered by his father. He tried hard to persuade him, but Zhuge Yan still refused to agree.

The Lord of Chihu City was so cruel that he locked her in the room and was not allowed to go out.

After Cheng Qingshan found out the ins and outs of this matter, he felt angry and anxious. How could he bear the heart of his beloved marrying someone else? Isn't this equivalent to cutting his flesh and drinking his blood?

So that night, while everyone was sleeping, he entered Zhuge Yan's courtyard alone, knocked down the guard, opened the door, and took Zhuge Yan away.

Unfortunately, this matter was soon discovered by the Lord of Chihu City, which also disturbed He Lianjie who was resting in the mansion.

The Lord of Chihu City was furious when he learned that Cheng Qingshan had taken away his precious daughter.

But the one who was even more angry was He Lianjie. As long as this was done, he would be the son-in-law of the Lord of Red Tiger City, and he could naturally accept his soldiers and horses, fight on the battlefield for the Helian family, and make great achievements.

In troubled times, it is very possible to become a hero.

Thinking of this, He Lianjie was laughing even in his dreams.

But suddenly something like this happened, and he was extremely angry. He wanted to kill the thief who kidnapped Zhuge Yan with a thousand knives and get rid of him quickly.

He did not hesitate at that time and directly led the direct guards brought from the Helian family to pursue Zhuge Yan and Cheng Qingshan.

The Lord of Chihu City was afraid that He Lianjie would kill even his daughter, so he ordered his younger brother to go with him to arrest him and make sure to bring Zhuge Yan back.

Who would have thought that they would pursue him all the way to the mountain next to Red Tiger City.

In the mountains, the terrain is complex and the jungle is dense, making it really easy to escape.

However, this time the team responsible for the pursuit included Zhuge Yuanfeng. He was the eldest elder of the Zhuge family and a top master in the middle stage of Sword Master.

How could he let two unknown people escape under his nose?

That's why this happened.

Cheng Qingshan was surrounded by many killers, but with his peak acquired strength, he was able to deal with them with ease.

In just a short period of time, He Lianjie and his group lost more than a dozen of their masters. Their corpses were scattered all over the surrounding mountains and forests, making it a mess.

"I am only responsible for bringing back Yan'er. It is none of my business to deal with Cheng Qingshan." Although the strong man in red robe looked down on Cheng Qingshan, he also hated He Lianjie very much.

He knew very well how He Lianjie coerced and lured his brother in the mansion that day.

How could a Sword Saint-level figure be easily exploited by an acquired warrior?
