C57 War God of the Underworld an Appraisal of Chi Xiao by He Quan Shou

The origin of the art of deception was very ancient, there were many techniques, and it was famous for its Five Great Arithmetic. But what Gu Chixiao had learned in his life was the Crossbow Technique.

And there had always been disagreements between Gu Chixiao and him.

Before Gu Chixiao became famous, he had met Zhang Tianrann once, and there should have been some conflict in their sects. At that time, Zhang Tianrann did not take him to heart and only treated him as a successor of the art of deception. Who would have thought that after many years, Gu Chixiao would gradually become a Grandmaster and become Zhang Tianrann's rival?

The grudge between the two could be resolved later.

Tong Duan wanted to use the blind archer to kill the Chinese Warlock, but he was blocked by the Crimson Cloud Treasured Sword of the Star of Woe family. Thus, it was Zhang Tianrann's turn to fight back.

Seeing that Tong Duan was using the way of war, Zhang Tianrann also followed the rules and fought back with the way of war.

Zhang Tianrann told the two brothers of Huang Family to use the most commonly used method of water war on the Yangtze River in China — — Iron Lock Crossing River.

Of course, the paths of Underworld Warfare and water battles were different.

Tong Duan's wooden boat was supported by iron chains in the water, unable to move.

Huang Tiehyan burned the wooden boat through the air. However, Tong Duan's abilities were not restricted by this method. Instead, he transferred the flames onto the chains and burned them to pieces.

With the iron lock broken, the tungsten wood vessel continued forward and arrived before Zhang Tianrann and the rest.

As the boat got closer, Zhang Tianrann saw that Tong Duan's boat was brought over from Japan.

The wooden boat that Tong Duan entered the ancient path on was a Atakebune from Japan. It was a type of battleship that was used in water battles from Japan, and was quite advanced in ancient Japan. Not only was the cabin designed to attack from all directions, there were also three compartments at the bottom of the boat.

The iron chain had broken the middle cabin of the Atakebune, but the Atakebune was not affected at all. When Zhang Tianrann saw that Tong Duan's Atakebune s' deck and cabin were filled with Puppets, he knew he had miscalculated. Although Tong Duan only had himself as a Yin Yang Master, the things he brought with him far exceeded what Zhang Tianrann had imagined.

In terms of the number of Warlocks, Zhang Tianrann had the advantage, but in terms of preparation of magic tools for fighting techniques, Tong Duan far surpassed him.

Zhang Tianrann and Tong Duan exchanged blows for two rounds. Now it was time to face each other empty-handed.

The closer they got, the clearer the spells were. Every move he made was being watched by the other party.

Only now did Zhang Tianrann know that Tong Duan had not only come prepared, he had also prepared for who knows how many years.

In Tong Duan's eyes, other than Zhang Tianrann, what surprised him was that Sun Ding actually appeared. He received the information too late, all he knew was that the Four Major Clans were here to help Zhang Tianrann. Sun Ding arrived late, and by the time he arrived, he had already entered the ancient path.

During the confrontation, Tong Duan had been staring deadly at the Crimson Cloud Treasured Sword. Who was this person in front of him?

At that time, Tong Duan had asked Sun Ding who gave him this sword.

Sun Ding said it was his.

Of course, this couldn't fool Tong Duan. This was because Tong Duan recognized the treasure sword, and had fought with the sword's owner before. Tong Duan then said: "The owner of this sword is Gu Chixiao, I have seen him personally."

Sun Ding had no way to lie, he could only say that Gu Chixiao gave it to him.

Tong Duan thought for a long time before saying that when he saw Gu Chixiao, Gu Chixiao had told him before that even if he lost his life, he would not give the sword to anyone. Because it was a treasure that he had obtained from a sect by chance. This treasured sword had been hidden in his sect for hundreds of years before finally falling into his hands.

Only after hearing the conversation between Tong Duan and Tong Duan, did Zhang Tianrann realize that Gu Chixiao and his friend was very old, and that was why he had sent Sun Ding to help when he knew of Tong Duan's capabilities. He even gave the Crimson Cloud Treasured Sword to Sun Ding.

Sun Ding asked Tong Duan if he recognized Master Gu. Tong Duan was honest, he had lost to the sword all those years ago.

I have to start from decades ago.

At that time, there was a martial arts hall in Yunnan, which specialized in teaching military affairs and cultivating Chinese military talents.

Back then, Gu Chixiao was one of the students, but Tong Duan was a lecturer hired by the Martial Hall. At that time, Tong Duan already had a Japanese military background, and was an expert in dealing with Underworld Warfare in the navy.

China had been weak for a long time, and its military side had been overtaken by Japan, so China would instead ask Japanese military officers to teach it. Therefore, Japanese officers despised Chinese military and despised Chinese students.

Tong Duan also had this feeling of superiority. He felt that China and Japan had already fought a few battles, and China had lost even more during the afternoon war. In terms of Underworld Warfare, China had also lost in a complete mess. In the war between Japan and Qing Dynasty, the Mao Shan Sect could not fend off the Japanese Yin Yang Master at all.

Therefore, Tong Duan did not even put the Chinese Warlocks in his eyes. So when he was teaching, he mentioned the Underworld Warfare and was very proud, saying that there were no longer any famous figures in China's Taoist world.

In the end, a young student was dissatisfied and immediately challenged Tong Duan.

He was the descendant of the art of deception, Gu Chixiao.

They had planned for the match to be held at night, but who would have thought that after Tong Duan had fought with Gu Chixiao, they realized that they were really too proud, Gu Chixiao used a Crimson Cloud Treasured Sword s as a weapon, and fought him to the point where he could not retaliate at all.

After Tong Duan lost, he warned Tong Duan. Don't think that there's no one in China. Furthermore, he told him that there would be a battle between China and Japan. If he came to China again, he would definitely die under the Crimson Cloud Treasured Sword.

At that time, Gu Chixiao was only in his early twenties, but his knowledge was not ordinary. He practically predicted the political situation between China and Japan accurately. Tong Duan admired him a lot, as he knew that this person would definitely not be someone to be trifled with in the future.

Sure enough, Tong Duan had been paying attention to Gu Chixiao's movements the entire time. He knew that Gu Chixiao had become President Sun's Guard Captain and was President Sun's trusted aide. Then he became head of the administration at Huangpu Military Academy, and later went to the Red Regime.

After the invasion of Japan, Gu Chixiao was in Yan An, he could not possibly come to the battlefield in Hubei to face off against him. He did not expect that before he even arrived, he would find a powerful being with a treasure sword to stop him.

After all, Gu Chixiao had said that if he were to see this treasure sword again, he would lose his life under this sword. He was already a grandmaster in the Yin Yang Master in Japan and had almost never lost his entire life. Therefore, when he was defeated by Gu Chixiao once, he had always felt a sense of reverence for Gu Chixiao. However, Tong Duan had also issued a military order in the Japanese military. He did not break through the ancient path and let the Japanese army infiltrate into the rear of the military.

How could Zhang Tianrann know about all these? Even Sun Ding himself wasn't clear about it.

However, Tong Duan saw through Sun Ding's weakness, which was that Chi Xiao did not emit red light nor did he emit flames. At that time, Gu Chixiao was holding onto the treasured sword, and the flame on the sword was scorching hot, causing the Nine-tailed Fox, which Tong Duan was controlling, to be unable to resist at all.

But Tong Duan could see clearly from the boat, that although Sun Ding was holding onto Chi Xiao, Chi Xiao was only an ancient virescent black sword.

Therefore, Tong Duan immediately asked to compete with Sun Ding in swords. Using the He Quan Guan to appraise and fight with Sun Ding.

Tong Duan was the first to make the move, so he could not refuse. After letting Sun Ding board Tong Duan's wooden boat, Tong Duan cleared the deck in front of the ship and compared swords with Sun Ding.

The two treasured swords of China and Japan, along with the Guardian Appraisal and Chi Xiao, were going to test each other in their hands.

The Guardian of the Spring was forged from fine steel, so the polish was extremely bright. It could almost be compared to a normal person's. Crimson Nimbus was forged very early, not only with black iron, but also with copper and tin alloys. So the surface was black copper rust.

Of the two treasured swords, one was black and one was white. One was old and the other was new. One was simple and ancient, and the other was sharp.

Tong Duan and Sun Ding did their best to be polite, and started to compete.

Tong Duan was a Japanese sword artist, he had used a hacking technique the moment he appeared. Who would have thought that Sun Ding did not have any moves to block it. Zhang Tianrann watched anxiously from the shore. He had thought that Sun Ding's Star of Woe family was powerful, possibly because of the ancient swordsman's inheritance.

Zhang Tianrann had a relationship with the martial arts novelist Pingjiang back then. Pingjiang was indeed a vulgar disciple of a certain sword sect, but because of a body, he was unable to cultivate sword skills, so when he grew up, he left his sect and wrote many novels about sword immortals. In fact, there were still other sects that knew how to use the Imperial Sword Technique during the period of the Republic of China. When Zhang Tianrann saw Sun Ding holding onto the Crimson Cloud Treasured Sword, he naturally thought that Sun Ding knew how to use the Imperial Sword Technique.

In the end, Sun Ding was unable to activate the Scarlet Xiao.

How powerful was the Spring Guardian's appraisal? At that time, he had already slashed Sun Ding's shoulder.

Tong Duan did not expect that his attack would hit its target, and was glad that it was not Gu Chixiao himself. He did not expect that after receiving such a strike, Sun Ding's body would be sliced into eight pieces. It fell to the ground.
