Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities

"Who is your Excellency?"

Zuo Ming stood up slowly and looked straight at Xu Guang who was standing on the tree. At the same time, he gestured to the old man, indicating that he and his family should leave first.

The old man had followed Zuo Ming for many years, and instantly understood what he meant, and carefully took a few steps back.

Xu Guang, on the other side, didn't pay much attention to his little moves, but looked at Xu Zhan and Wang Wen with some surprise.

He previously thought that Xu Zhan and Wang Wen got separated from Qing Xuanzi and thus fell into Zuo Ming's hands.

But judging from the smiles on the faces of Xu Zhan and Wang Wen, it seems that this is not the case.

Even if he hasn't seen him for many years, he still knows what his son is like.

Although he is very bold and likes to cause trouble, he is still very cautious in some things.

Xu Guang looked at Xu Zhan sitting on Xiao Hei in the distance and smiled.

"I, Xu Guang, his father."

He pointed at Xu Guang in the distance.

"kindness?"

A flash of astonishment flashed across Zuo Ming's face.

Xu Zhan’s father?

He had heard Xu Zhan talk about it, but he didn't expect that he would come after him.

"You said you are Xu Zhan's father, do I think so? Your Excellency, you must think Zuo is a fool."

Zuo Ming was talking, but at the next moment, he took action and turned into a thunder.

"Sky Slash!"

A huge talisman sword emerged from his hand, and lightning flashed above it, then suddenly fell down.

But what shocked him was that Xu Guang stretched out a hand.

The white palm grasped the giant sword in his hand.

"I said, I am Xu Zhan's father."

With a flick of his hand, Zuo Ming stepped back.

Xu Guang landed on the ground and called out softly, "Zhan'er."

Xu Zhan seemed to notice something and turned back suddenly, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"father!"

Wang asked the same thing, "Uncle."

Xiao Hei was like a pug, having been away from Xu Guang for many years. Although because of Xu Zhan's liking, Qing Xuanzi would also feed him some leftovers after Xu Zhan's use, but it was obviously not as good as the transformation blood in Xu Guang's body.

It carried Xu Zhan on its back and rushed in the direction of Xu Guang without caring about anything else.

But at this moment, Zuo Ming suddenly blocked its path. He stared at Xu Guang with a bit of madness in his eyes.

"Xu Zhan is a guest left by Senior Qing Xuanzi at Zuo's home. Your Excellency wants to pick him up, but your thinking is a little too simple."

Xu Guang glanced at Zuo Ming lightly, "How are you doing?"

Zuo Ming took a step forward and snorted coldly, "Of course you will wait for Senior Qingxuanzi to come back. If he agrees, you will take him away. But before that, you cannot leave directly, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Senior Qingxuanzi."

Xu Guang lowered his head slightly, as if like this.

The stupid young man in front of me seems to be quite understanding of people and the world.

But when did I need an outsider’s nod to pick up my son?

Even if Qing Xuanzi is here, if he wants to take Xu Zhan away, he must take him away.

"Xu will leave a token of this matter. When Qing Xuanzi sees it, he will understand."

Xu Guang thought over and over again and made a decision.

But Zuo Ming was extremely determined and looked directly at Xu Guang.

"No, we must wait for Senior Qingxuanzi to come back!"

Xu Guang was silent for a long time and looked at Zuo Ming seriously.

"What do you want?"

Zuo Ming suddenly put away his madness and revealed a smile.

"He can leave, he can't leave."

The one who can leave is Xu Zhan, the one who cannot leave is Wang Wen.

Xu Guang looked surprised, and then he saw the little girl not far away who was staring at Wang Wen.

"..."

I thought it was something.

He looked carefully at his son and nephew.

Wang Wen was nine years older than Xu Zhan, and was now eighteen years old. Although he was only a registered disciple of Qingxuanzi, Qingxuanzi was only a true disciple. Even though he was a registered disciple, he was not much different from a true disciple.

Wang Wen had already begun to practice martial arts, and he began to build up his foundation and body when he left Youzhou. Over the years, under the training of Qing Xuanzi, he had also reached the level of Zang training.

Looking at it this way, he is indeed a genius.

He even inherited Xu Chun's beauty, tall figure and dignified appearance.

I didn't expect that my nephew would have better luck than me.

"He has to go." Xu Guang insisted.

He is about to get married and must take his relatives back with him. In addition to giving Cheng Lian'er and Wan Yanran an explanation, there is also...

It's time for Ji Xiaolu to take a look at Xu Zhan.

Although Ji Xiaolu didn't say anything when they last met, Xu Guang could still tell that she missed Xu Zhan.

"Then don't leave, Mr. Xu. Don't forget, this is my territory. Even if you are a master, you can't leave easily."

Zuo Ming chuckled.

Xu Guang shook his head, "I know what you are thinking, but he must leave for a while first."

After a pause, he found a reason, "His mother misses him."

Zuo Ming was speechless when he heard the words.

This is a bit hard to argue with.

"No matter what, you are not allowed to leave!" Zuo Ming started to cheat.

"It really doesn't work. You have to at least beat me before you can leave."

Xu Guang nodded to express his understanding, and it was still suitable for him to fight and kill.

Then the emotions in his eyes instantly converged, as if he was a different person.

Taking a step forward, his whole body suddenly exuded a shockingly sharp aura, as if his whole body had completely turned into a sharp sword.

Zuo Ming's expression changed drastically. He only had time to raise his arms and was instantly blasted away by Xu Guang.

His hands and arms were shaking wildly, and there were countless dense wounds on them, as if they had been cut by a long sword, which was horrifying.

It's just that his alien body is not unworthy of its reputation. The wounds on his arms slowly fused at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a flash of cyan power above, the wounds disappeared.

"I'm no match for you."

Zuo Ming finally admitted that he was a little depressed.

Since the awakening of alien bodies in the past few years, with the exploration of realms and alien bodies, he has always set his sights higher than the top. The same realm has long been ignored by him. Only the Grandmaster can keep him energetic.

but…

Judging from Xu Guang's appearance, he should be about the same age as him. Not only does he surpass him in realm, but his combat power is also very solid. Such a person makes him a little depressed.

"Xu Guang..."

Zuo Ming chanted Xu Guang's name.

During this period of the Pingzhou War, everyone in the White Horse Army was troubled by the blood-clothed guards, and they were not as well-informed about the news from other major states as before.

Indeed, he had never heard of Xu Guang's name.

"Now, can we go?" Xu Guang looked at Zuo Ming and asked softly.

Zuo Ming stood still, silent for a moment, and said softly, "Of course, it's just..."

He looked in the direction of Zuo Yu.

"You have to promise me one thing, otherwise, I would rather die in your hands."

Xu Guang looked at him and seemed to understand something.

"I can take her away, but can you tell me why?"

Zuo Ming smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Bai Nian was both his father-in-law and his master. In the past, he had awakened a different body. In order to help him, Zuo Yu's mother left Pingzhou for many years and went to the Jiyuan Forbidden Land. She became very old after returning.

He passed away within a few years, and in his heart, Zuo Yu had already been everything to him.

The blood-robed guard was fierce and determined to never give up until Pingzhou was defeated. Although he was very confident in himself and his father-in-law Bainian, the six hundred years of Daqian's founding of the country were not something that one state or one army could achieve. withstand.

With all the states in the world standing by and watching, it was only a matter of time before Pingzhou was overthrown.

He could fight to the death for Bai Nian, but Zuo Yu could not.

"I do not go!"

Zuo Yu is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She is not the type of beauty, but she is very attractive, and her eyebrows are full of heroic spirit, which makes her look very extraordinary.

She seemed to know what her father meant.

Looking at Zuo Ming with tears in his eyes, "I won't leave!"

"Yu'er, be obedient." Zuo Ming's face was filled with tenderness.

"enough."

Xu Guang interrupted the tender scene between father and daughter with a cold voice.

"Xu doesn't have time to listen to you reminiscing about the tenderness between father and daughter. Xu has a lot of things to do. Make a decision quickly whether you want to leave or not!"

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Yu immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Guang with a somewhat hateful look.

From her point of view, Xu Guang was a bad guy because he wanted to take her away from her father, even if he was Wang Wen's uncle.

Even Xu Zhan glanced at Xu Guang unbearably at this moment.

Dad is too cruel.

Xu Guang was also quite helpless. He had noticed Wang Wen's eyes.

If he didn't interrupt Zuo Yu's 'casting', his nephew would have to get involved.

It is even more likely that Xu Zhan, who grew up with Wang Wen since childhood, wanted to stay because his head was hot, and that was when it gave him a headache.

He took a deep breath.

"It's not like we'll never see each other again. Xu just takes you to Youzhou, and by the way... takes you to meet your future mother-in-law."

Zuo Yu, who originally had complicated eyes, lowered his head instantly when he heard this.

He just looked at Wang Wen standing next to Xiao Hei with his peripheral vision.

As for Wang Wen, he was already at a loss.

Xu Guang was speechless.

Zuo Ming raised his head slightly and took a deep look at Xu Guang, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Guang waved his hand casually, "If nothing else happens, Qingxuanzi and the others will probably stay in Pingzhou, and they should find someone to help you."

After a pause, "If you can persist, I will help you for up to three years."

Along the way, he kept thinking, has he done anything big in these years?

Although it was a coincidence that he was valued by that true king, he still wanted to prove himself.

In the past, when all the demons were wiped out, before he left this world, he might as well conquer all the demons in the world.

Let’s look at today.

When I think about it, even if I reach the Xuanshi, I don't have to worry about being treated as a parallel import by that true king.

Of course, this is a superficial reason. Xu Guang has always been a person who goes his own way, and the opinions of others are nothing to him.

The most important thing is that with his practice over the years, he is no longer the ordinary, innocent and harmless country boy in Feiyun City. His self-confidence was finally built up through breakthroughs and battles.

Since he has cultivated the path of detachment, he naturally wants to seek detachment in this world.

He wants to be the real world number one in this world for once!

…

Although Zuo Ming did not believe Xu Guang's words, Xu Guang promised to take Zuo Yu away.

It wasn't that he was easily trusting and handed his daughter over to Xu Guang when they first met, but it was out of his trust in Xu Zhan, Wang Wen and Qing Xuanzi.

During this period of time, Wang Wen mentioned his uncle many times in front of Zuo Yu, more times than Qing Xuanzi.

As for Wang Wen, because of Zuo Yu's liking, he had observed him and found him to be a trustworthy person. The person he admired should also be a trustworthy person.

"Brother Xu, Zuo is relieved that Yu'er is in your hands. As promised before, Brother Xu doesn't have to embarrass himself, as long as Yu'er can live safely."

Xu Guang smiled and said nothing. He just glanced at the carriage in the distance and said, "Okay, Brother Zuo, there is no need to send it off. If you send it off in person, you will be easily spotted."

Zuo Ming nodded, "Brother Xu, take care."

Leaving Pingcheng is actually a very dangerous thing. Even if Pingzhou is smaller in area, Pingzhou is not monolithic. The carriages coming out of Pingcheng can easily be targeted by other big cities that have surrendered to the imperial court.

Xu Guang was already prepared for this.

While taking a detour from Youcheng, Xu Guang suddenly stopped the carriage.

Xu Zhan immediately stuck his head out, "Dad, what happened?"

Xu Guang pushed his head into the carriage and said, "It's none of your business, Yun She wants to go out and play."

"Have fun?"

Of course Xu Zhan knew about the existence of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Cloud Snake.

Although he was still young, he quickly realized the profound meaning in Xu Guang's words.

"Dad, what you mean is...someone poisoned you?"

"none of your business."

After Xu Guang finished speaking, the poisonous cloud snake flew out from his sleeves.

He is not an expert in using poison, but the poisonous cloud snake following him is extremely sensitive to poison.

As he expected, the carriage coming out of Pingcheng would indeed become the target of public criticism, but he didn't know the origin of the person following it?

Is he Zuo Ming's enemy? Still from the imperial court.

Xu Guang thought in his heart, but didn't take it to heart, and didn't even think about going over to take a look.

…

And the other side.

After Pingzhou's battle in the Ouyue Basin, the entire state, except for Pingcheng, almost fell into complete chaos.

The war zone spread for hundreds of miles, turning the entire Pingzhou into a desolate and scorched land.

Between a patch of soil slopes, on both sides of a winding road, there were several figures in yellow clothes lurking, almost blending into the ground.

"A carriage came out of Pingcheng. According to the police report from Pingcheng, it is most likely a family member of Bai Nian or Zuo Ming. This time, we must do it cleanly!"

"yes!"

"Big Eyes, are the arrangements ready?"

After the man in yellow clothes dressed as a leader finished speaking, he looked at the man standing aside who was holding something that looked like an animal's gallbladder.

This man looked extremely ugly. His whole body was covered with boils that looked like eyes. In some places, there was even disgusting mucus flowing out.

"Boss, don't worry. No one can cure my poison. As long as the people on the carriage come within ten miles of us, they will definitely fall!"

The leader nodded, "That's good."

He was finally satisfied, but for some reason, he could feel an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, as if he was being targeted by something.

The next moment, he suddenly felt a chill. He looked up and saw a cloud of smoke rising from nowhere.

Scattered in the air, and unconsciously, it fell on all of them.

The leader suddenly felt bad.

"Big Eyes, look where this fog comes from and whether it's yours!"

Big Eyes started to move when he heard the words, but as soon as he took half a step, his whole body suddenly froze in place, like a sculpture, and it seemed that only his eyes could move his whole body.

There was horror and fear in his eyes, and he tried his best to remind her.

But it is no longer useful.

Because he saw, at some point, everyone was in the same situation as him, standing there like... sculptures.

Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!

One person's footsteps are like stepping on everyone's heart.

"Is this the petrifying poison you were talking about? It seems to have a good effect."

The visitor praised in the air.

Under the horrified look of the big eyes, the fog in the air slowly flowed, and finally turned into a... small snake.

Xu Guang knelt down and looked at the leader of the group.

"Who do you belong to?"
