Chapter 6: Dragon Capture Hand, Mid-Grandmaster, Imperial Court Response

As far as Xu Qianqiu knows, martial arts today are divided into several levels, namely ordinary martial arts, first-class martial arts, top martial arts, and peerless martial arts.

The Dragon Catching Hand is a peerless martial arts. Even a master needs a long time to learn to fully develop it.

But Xu Qianqiu doesn't need it.

Because he has killing points. One of the wonderful uses of killing points is to help Xu Qianqiu quickly master various martial arts and improve his cultivation.

"System, upgrade the Dragon Catching Hand to perfection."

Suddenly.

Xu Qianqiu's killing points decreased rapidly. At the same time, his understanding of the Dragon Catching Hand became more and more profound, and various mysteries gradually became clear in his mind.

"Dragon Catching Hand!"

Xu Qianqiu's five fingers were slightly bent and grabbed in the air.

Accompanied by a dragon roar.

I saw a large stone not far away being moved in front of him.

Some soldiers were shocked when they saw this.

"So amazing."

"Telekinesis, is this a divine method?"

"Can a master do this?"

"Could the general be the legendary immortal?"

"With the general here, we will be invincible!"

The move Xu Qianqiu showed injected a lot of morale into the army, and at this moment, he was still studying martial arts.

"It has really been accomplished."

Xu Qianqiu smiled with satisfaction.

In just a short while, he has practiced a peerless martial art to the stage of great success. If this kind of thing were to be spread out, it would probably shock the martial arts.

Then he took a look at the remaining killing points.

[Killing Points: 3887]

"System, use the remaining killing points to improve your cultivation."

Boom!

A burst of true energy burst out from Xu Qianqiu's body.

In his sea of ​​qi, the originally extremely surging true energy increased again by a large margin, and the cultivation level on the panel also reached the middle stage of the master from the early stage of the master.

"I don't know what realm is above the master?"

Xu Qianqiu murmured.

In the Xu State where he lives, the Grandmaster is already the strongest.

But he knows that this world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Xu State is not the only country in the world.

In the original owner's memory, this world is divided into seven major divine states.

Dongyang, Nanyang, Xiyang, Beiyang, Liyang, Kaiyang, and the most mysterious Zhongyin. Xu State is located in Nanyang Divine State.

The seven major divine states are all distributed with human races, and there are many countries. Among them, the strongest are the six dynasties, Da Chu, Daliang, Da Zhou, Da Yuan, Da Qian and Dayu. Among them, Da Chu is located in Nanyang Divine State, not far from Xu State.

On the surface, the six dynasties control the entire human race, but according to legend, there are still some martial arts sects that are not under the jurisdiction of the six dynasties.

In short, the water in this world is very deep.

Although the Grandmaster is strong, he is far from being able to sit back and relax.

"With the God of Killing System, it's only a matter of time before I become a master. One day, I will definitely stand at the top of martial arts!!"

Xu Qianqiu secretly made up his mind.

"General, the count is complete. The number of casualties this time is 1,800, 360 seriously injured, and 803 slightly injured..."

Li Xuanfeng is reporting to Xu Qianqiu.

After saying that, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

It's not that the number is too large.

On the contrary.

It's too small.

Originally, they had believed that all of them would die in this battle, but they didn't expect that the death toll was less than 2,000...

"Thanks to the general and his subordinates."

Li Xuanfeng was a little emotional.

If Xu Qianqiu hadn't killed the spider ghost, hit the morale of the demons, and charged in the front, and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun hadn't taken on most of the demons, I'm afraid that in this battle, they would really be wiped out.

"The dead will be burned on the spot, and their name tags will be kept. The others will rest on the spot." Xu Qianqiu said calmly.

In this era, medical technology was not well developed. A large number of corpses piled together could easily breed diseases and plagues. They were often burned together, leaving only the name tags representing the soldiers' identities, which were taken back by the living to erect monuments.

"By the way, General, when will the victory report be sent back to the capital?"

"You will do it."

Xu Qianqiu said.

"Well, I guess those smart people would never have thought that we could win." Li Xuanfeng laughed.

It seemed that he had seen the stunned looks of those people in the court.

…………

The capital.

In the council hall.

King Xu, the prince and all the ministers were there.

"Have you packed your things?"

"Almost, how about you?"

"I have packed them a long time ago and can leave at any time."

"Where do you think we should go?"

"The closest place is the Great Chu. It is said that the King of Chu has been preparing for a counterattack against the demons in recent years. How about going there?"

"It's a good choice..."

Some ministers were whispering and discussing where to go.

A messenger came in.

"Your Majesty, military intelligence has been received from the front."

"Read."

King Xu said lightly, already discouraged and without hope.

He was ready to be a king of a fallen country.

"Under the leadership of the eldest prince, 70,000 troops killed 40,000 demons and have now recovered Shanyang City!" The messenger said excitedly.

As soon as these words came out, the noisy council hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at the messenger and couldn't believe it.

King Xu stood up and said, "Say it again."

"A great victory on the front line, Shanyang City has been recaptured!"

"What are our losses?"

A minister asked hurriedly.

"We lost two thousand people."

"Come here, drag him down and behead him!"

At this time, Prince Xu Qianming shouted loudly.

The messenger was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Your Highness, I don't know what I said wrong, why do you want to behead me?"

"Humph, the crime of deceiving the emperor is enough to behead you ten times!"

Xu Qianming said coldly.

"Everything I said is true."

"Do you really think we are so easy to fool? How many armies could not resist the demons' offensive? How could my brother recapture Shanyang City with only two thousand casualties? You can tell such a clumsy lie."

"If your Highness does not believe it, you can send others to verify it."

A minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, how dare he, a small messenger, deceive the emperor? In my humble opinion, the eldest prince may have really recaptured Shanyang City. As for the number of casualties, there may be some untrue information, but compared with the recapture of Shanyang City, this little thing is harmless."

Defeating tens of thousands of demons with only two thousand casualties?

No one believed it.

They just thought that Xu Qianqiu really recaptured Shanyang Pass, and in order to show his merits, he exaggerated the number of casualties.

"Haha, worthy of being my eldest prince, he is really brave and brave." King Xu laughed and was very excited.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"This is all due to Your Majesty's great fortune and God's blessing."

The ministers flattered him.

The messenger looked on, feeling very uncomfortable.

What great fortune?

This is clearly earned by the frontline soldiers and the eldest prince's bravery.

It has nothing to do with Your Majesty.

But he was just a messenger and didn't dare to speak.

"How could this happen..."

Prince Xu Qianming's face changed.

He never thought that Xu Qianqiu could actually win the battle.

Looking at the excited King Xu, he restrained his emotions, "Father, my elder brother is so brave, why not let him take advantage of the victory and recover other lost territories in one fell swoop."

Humph.

You can win once but it's just luck.

I don't believe you can win again.

When King Xu heard Xu Qianming's words, he thought for a while, "Wouldn't it be too risky to do this? It's better to let Qianqiu stay in Shanyang City."

In his opinion, Xu Qianqiu must have lost a lot of people to win.

In this situation, it is impossible to counterattack. It is better to use Shanyang City as the boundary, station troops on the spot, and defend the remaining land of Xu State.

"This is entirely up to my father." Although Xu Qianming was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Qianqiu's big limelight, he did not dare to disobey King Xu's wishes.

Below, the other ministers looked at each other.

"So, we don't have to run?"

"Not necessarily. Although the demons have been defeated, who knows if they will come back again. It depends on whether the eldest prince can defend Shanyang Pass."

"Well, I didn't expect the eldest prince to be able to recover the lost land. Tsk tsk, it seems that I have underestimated him."
