Chapter 18: Promising
Under the surprised gazes of everyone, the shoulders where Cheng Jushu and Shen Qingzhou were fighting suddenly went from extremely active to extremely quiet. A blood mist burst out from the shoulders and a white bone stump emerged.

With just one punch, Cheng Jushu, a well-known master of horizontal training, was hit head-on by Shen Qingzhou and his entire arm was injured.

Cheng Jushu suddenly felt the horror of the man in front of him. He was not careless, but even so, his body, which was tough and thick due to the training of true qi and horizontal training, could not withstand the opponent's brutal punch.

Even though he was called a barbarian by many people, the purest and most direct power made him have only one thought at this moment: run.

He is already injured, and even in his prime, he would most likely not be able to beat the opponent. For such a master who is also practicing horizontal training, if you use the same type of person to deal with him, the fight will end the fastest. It is better to fight with a normal master, as he will have a higher chance of winning.

His right arm could no longer move, but he was an eighth-rank master after all, so he did not dare to confront the opponent head-on with his left hand. Instead, he used some clever strength, using the opponent's force to counter his own, hoping to escape from the fight by taking advantage of the opponent's force.

"Want to leave?" Shen Qingzhou was not stupid. The opponent was obviously using the opponent's force to counter attack him. How could he be fooled? He changed his fist into a palm, trying to grab Cheng Jushu's left arm.

"Why don't you make a move?" Suddenly, a sharp cold air attacked his arm, and Shen Qingzhou had to pull his hand back. It was too late for him to use force to remove Cheng Jushu's arm.

But he couldn't return empty-handed, he pointed two fingers at Cheng Jushu's wrist, and a stream of blood burst out from Cheng Jushu's wrist. Then he kicked the ground, and the bluestone ground cracked again, and stones flew everywhere. However, he had already escaped from Shen Qingzhou's attack range and was outside the city gate.

"It's you." Shen Qingzhou said as he watched Haitang Duoduo gracefully put away the axe.

The cold air he just felt was the axe that flew out of the opponent's hand. Shen Qingzhou was a little envious, wondering if it was the effect of true qi that the axe returned by itself.

"It's me. You didn't expect that." Haitang Duoduo seemed to have an obvious smile on her face.

However, she was already on high alert. After she became a ninth-grade warrior, it wasn't so easy to defeat Cheng Jushu. Although this was related to the attack method of the horizontal training masters, which was a head-on collision, it could still explain something.

"I let you run away last time, are you planning to stay here by yourself this time?" Shen Qingzhou was full of confidence. Cheng Jushu was an eighth-grade cultivator in film and television dramas, but the attack just now was just a little threatening to him. He was very strong now.

"Forget it this time. I will come back to find you." Cheng Jushu had already left for a while. Haitang Duoduo rolled over, kicked the city wall, and used the force to move more than ten meters away. This was Qinggong.

Haitang Duoduo looked back and felt relieved when she saw Shen Qingzhou did not chase her. This time, she came with Cheng Jushu. Cheng Jushu should have come earlier, but Haitang Duoduo wanted to take revenge on her own, always feeling that she had lost unfairly last time.

She had never thought about cooperating with Cheng Jushu, as she was very confident in herself. But this time, if she hadn't raided the battlefield, Cheng Jushu would have most likely stayed.

"Big brother is awesome." The soldiers watched the two masters leave, and did not pursue them blindly. Instead, they surrounded Shen Qingzhou and started to lick him.

"Okay, it's almost time to change guard. You guys, send some food to the brothers in other gates." Shen Qingzhou returned to the small tea stall, calm and composed. What is a master? This is him.

He was just showing off, but he was winking at a blind man. The soldiers were all wondering what happened to the captain, was he injured, and why was he walking so stiffly, step by step, and couldn't just walk over and sit down normally.

It can only be said that Shen Qingzhou wanted to be more casual, but he had no light skills, so his calm and relaxed performance seemed stiff and even a little slow in the eyes of others.

"My fellow soldiers, the cooking pot is here."

"Big brother is still the best at eating."

When guarding the city gate, it would be great to have a steaming hot pot. …

"Fortunately, they are all external injuries. There is no damage to the tendons and veins. After a few months of recuperation and with the help of true Qi, it will be almost healed. But be careful not to do anything during these months." A man who looked like a doctor gave Cheng Jushu some instructions and left the yard.

Cheng Jushu recalled the fight with Shen Qingzhou and was filled with fear. He almost couldn't come back.

One day later, Nanqing, Supervisory Yuan.

"What? Cheng Jushu of Northern Qi was seriously injured." After receiving the pigeon message from the spy of the Supervisory Council, Chen Pingping saw this somewhat horrifying news, which was indeed unexpected.

Cheng Jushu is not an ordinary person. Although he is only at the eighth level, with his horizontal training skills, he can compete with ordinary eighth-level fighters.

But the information he received at this moment was that Cheng Jushu attacked the border town and was seriously injured by a punch from Shen Qingzhou. A woman with double axes saved his life and left.

Chen Pingping remembered that before, Shen Qingzhou could only barely kill a sixth-rank Hu person, and he also borrowed the power of the military formation. When Shen Qingzhou killed the sixth-rank, the opponent was trying to intercept him and was indeed trapped in the military formation. It was just that after the fight, Shen Qingzhou knew that he could not beat him. Chen Pingping was not involved in the fight, so his information certainly could not be as accurate as his.

But what is the situation now? An eighth-rank master cannot be defeated by one punch from him. No matter how high his rank is, he must be ninth-rank or even a grandmaster.

Chen Pingping laughed when he thought of this. It was impossible for him to be a grandmaster. It could only be said that the horizontal training duel was so thrilling. Cheng Jushu was too confident in himself.

He was quite curious. A little mouse that could be easily killed had grown into this right under his nose without him noticing.

But even so, he only upgraded Shen Qingzhou's importance and did not regard him as the biggest opponent. In short, even the top ninth rank was just his flag.

His opponents have always been grandmasters. Thinking of Xiao Ye, Chen Pingping subconsciously touched both sides of the wheelchair.

Fan Jian also paid special attention to this matter. When he heard the news, he sighed secretly. He has grown up after all. However, he has the Tiger Guards, so he is not that scared. He just feels that he is out of control.

Naturally, Cheng Jushu's attack on the border town was also reported, and funds had to be allocated to repair the city gate. After a great battle, there were traces of flying stones everywhere, and there were several pits underground, so that even carriages could not pass through.

Cheng Jushu was quite famous; after all, he was a master. It was natural that he deserved a special mention for being defeated by a military captain.

Shen Qingzhou also submitted a memorial for the first time. Many people knew him before, including Emperor Qing, but his status was not worthy of submitting a memorial.

Things are different now. Zhaowu Captain Shen Qingzhou defeated the eighth-rank master Cheng Jushu, which made the entire military proud.

Harem.

A somewhat suppressed laugh was heard from the queen's bedroom. It was worthy of her mother's family. They had made great progress.
