He knew long ago that Gu Changqing had been hiding his real strength, but he had no idea as to what extent. He only knew that he had broken through to the 12th level of the Eighteen Arhats Array while Gu Changqing had reached the 13th level.

However, the strength of that move just now belonged to someone who had reached at least the 15th level or higher.

Tang Ming suddenly regretted going up on the ring.

Now it was too late to go down.

With so many people watching him, he could neither admit defeat nor lose!

Tang Ming also unsheathed his sword, threw the scabbard back to his subordinate, and then slashed towards Gu Changqing with his blade.

Old Marquis's weapon was the nine-section whip, so Gu Changqing was actually most proficient in using whips, it was just that he didn’t like to use the nine-section whip.

Seeing Tang Ming's sword coming towards him, Gu Changqing didn't even move to avoid it.

Had this guy been scared silly by his sword qi?

But as soon as this idea flashed through Tang Ming's mind, Tang Ming was struck by Gu Changqing’s sword!

Tang Ming was stupefied. He simply didn't see how Gu Changqing landed an attack on him!

The blade cut through Tang Ming's armor, leaving a gash on his right abdomen where blood spurted out!

Everyone was astonished!

They said the sword had no eyes. Even so… Wasn't this strike a little too fast and vicious?

Tang Ming covered the wound on his abdomen in disbelief as he stepped back. He looked at the blood coming from the wound and gritted his teeth, "Gu Changqing, you’re seeking death!"

Gu Changqing’s pupils were suffused with cold glint, "I warned you not to touch him, otherwise I'll kill you! It's not killing you in secret, it's beating you up until you're looking for your teeth all over the ground, trampling you hard under my feet, and then killing you!"

Tang Ming suddenly realized that Gu Changqing was really serious, and he now seemed to understand why Gu Changqing was doing this.

Gu Changqing was humiliating him!

Because he had humiliated Gu Yan, Gu Changqing wanted to make him taste back the humiliation ten fold, a hundred fold!

Tang Ming clenched his fists, "You're crazy! Aren't you afraid that you’ll have to pay for my life?"

Whether he was afraid or not, Gu Changqing answered him with his next actions. He cut Tang Ming's right abdomen with another strike.

Then the third strike pierced Tang Ming's left arm.

The fourth strike slashed Tang Ming's left leg.

The fifth strike...

From the time Tang Ming made his first move, he failed to land a single blow on Gu Changqing. On the contrary, every strike of Gu Changqing made Tang Ming bleed.

This was no longer a competition.

It was just an unilateral crushing!

The proud son of heaven Tang Ming, the known second most powerful expert in the military camp, turned out to be so vulnerable?

"Stop!"

Deputy General Hu couldn’t bear watching any longer. If he attacked Tang Ming one more time, he would die.

However, Gu Changqing not only stopped, but went to thrust his sword towards Tang Ming’s heart!

Everyone gasped!

Tang Ming had already collapsed on the ground, unable to move. Just like Gu Yan who couldn't move last night, he had become a lamb to be slaughtered by others.

His face lost all its color.

For a military leader like him, being so badly beaten in a fight was no different from ordinary people being pinned down and desecrated by him.

Right now, he tasted Gu Yan's despair and humiliation!

But just at that moment, a strong gust of wind blew over and pushed Tang Ming away from Gu Changqing’s sword.

Tang Ming crashed into the wall and coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he at least escaped the fatal blow.

A tall and powerful figure landed on the ring, shielding Tang Ming behind him.

When Tang Ming saw the newcomer, he crawled over excitedly and hugged the other party’s leg, "Uncle! He wants to kill me!"

Tang Yueshan's icy gaze fell on Gu Changqing's face, "Doesn't Commandant Gu know the rules of the tournament? No human’s life shall be harmed!"

"Is he human?" Gu Changqing asked with a cold voice.

Tang Ming gave his uncle a guilty look.

Tang Yueshan didn't look at him as he replied to Gu Changqing, "It’s true that he was too harsh with his punishment to the old subordinates of the Gu Family. But if you want to take his life because of that, I'm afraid you're the one who's going too far."

Gu Changqing didn't explain himself.

This was fine too.

This way, Gu Yan's secret could be kept.

Tang Yueshan snorted coldly, "How about this, this commander shall exchange a few moves with you!"

Tang Yueshan was well-known for shielding his people’s faults, which was why almost no one dared to offend Tang Ming in the capital. Even if they were bullied by Tang Ming, they could only swallow the anger.

Tang Ming looked at Gu Changqing with deep hatred and a vengeful glare flashed across his face, "Uncle! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him and avenge me!"

It was naturally impossible for Tang Yueshan to kill Gu Changqing in front of the whole military camp, but it was easy for him to make Gu Changqing suffer.

However, just as he was about to strike, a voice as resounding as a large bell sounded, "Wait a moment!"

Gu Changqing’s eyebrows furrowed.

Deputy General Hu and others turned their heads to the direction of the voice. Old Marquis?

Old Marquis was followed by Marquis Xuanping who was walking neither too fast nor too slow.

Old Marquis was already retired and no longer held any official position, but Marquis Xuanping was the Lord Protector General and everyone had to salute him except Tang Yueshan.

Tang Yueshan's official position was now higher than Marquis Xuanping, but his status was inferior to that of the other party. Marquis Xuanping was a first rank Military Marquis and was also a relative of the imperial family.

Tang Yueshan reluctantly cupped his hands and performed a rather perfunctory salutation.

Marquis Xuanping didn't care as he smiled faintly and said, "I haven't seen you for quite some time, I trust Lord Tang has been well since we last met."

Tang Yueshan didn’t get along well with Old Marquis, and his relationship with Marquis Xuanping wasn't much better either. The former was due to disagreements, while the latter... Apart from their different standpoints, it was purely because Marquis Xuanping was too irritating!

Tang Yueshan was only a few years older than Marquis Xuanping, but when they stood together, it looked as if they were a few generations apart.

Marquis Xuanping put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Tang Yueshan's round belly with a half smile, "It seems that Lord Tang has been eating a lot of greasy food lately ah. Is the National Supreme Commander’s salary too high? You’re already the Supreme Commander, don't frown all day long. Look, you have more wrinkles now."

Tang Yueshan was furious.

What did it mean to pick the kettle that wasn’t boiling, this was it!

Speaking of which, he also felt wronged. When he was young, Tang Yueshan used to be a handsome man as well, but now he had become a middle-aged greasy uncle.

He looked at Marquis Xuanping again. Twenty years ago, he looked like this. Twenty years later, he still looked like this!

Truly irritating!

If someone else insulted him like this, he could still argue, ‘What's the point of being good-looking? Do you know martial arts? Can you fight? Can you go to the battlefield and slaughter the enemy?’

But he couldn’t say such words to Marquis Xuanping.

With the arrival of Marquis Xuanping, the atmosphere suddenly turned askew.

Most of Tang Yueshan’s teeth-gnashing hatred for Gu Changqing was transferred to Marquis Xuanping, so much so that when Old Marquis proposed to take Gu Changqing home for strict discipline, Tang Yueshan unexpectedly agreed.

Of course, it was also because Tang Ming was gravely injured at the moment. He already lost too much blood and passed out.
