Chapter 14 Luckily, I managed to hold on...

  Yuwen Chengdu saw it with his own eyes, and the moment of panic filled his proud heart. He lost! Was he going to lose to a fool? The title of the world's number one brave warrior was not going to be handed over easily! It should be known that ancient people attached great importance to reputation, especially any title recognized by the emperor, which brought immeasurable wealth to any family!

  Call over a subordinate, whispering and waiting for Yang Guang to speak with a slightly dark tone. "Hmph! The title of the number one in the world I will not let anyone have! Whoever steals it from me will be killed!"

  Li Yuanba, who was panting slightly, casually threw away the large tripod and suppressed his impatience: "Damn it, I need to hurry back and catch up on some sleep!" He walked over to Yang Guang's side, waiting for him to finish speaking.

  Li Yuanba's rudeness didn't faze Yang Guang! This was a 6,000-jin cauldron, something even the Sect Master wouldn't dare to lift so casually! If this person protected himself closely, who could break through his defenses and harm him? The extremely satisfied expression on Yang Guang's face made Yuwen Cheng very displeased, and he became even more determined to kill Li Yuanba!

  Yang Guang was overjoyed and said to Li Yuan, "I never thought that the Duke of Tang would have such a wonderful son! I think this young man is the number one in the world!" Li Yuan was delighted in his heart, but he didn't lose his head: "I don't dare accept such high praise. My son is still young, and if Your Majesty praises him like this, won't it make him arrogant? There are many talents in our court, I really don't dare to accept this!"

  Yang Guang shook his head and turned to Yuwen Chengdu, saying: "Chengdu, you see that this time the trial is clearly better than yours, and the number one in the world may have to yield! Haha!" Yang Guang was overjoyed in his heart, and there was not a hint of concealment in his words as he admired Li Yuanba.

  Yuwen Chengdu cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, the title of the world's number one brave warrior may not be in my mind, but the title of brave warrior cannot be shouldered by just having great strength! Great strength without martial arts is like an animal. I want to compete with this child, if he wins, I will concede!"

  Yang Guang was also stunned by that astonishing momentum, stroking his beard and saying: "Hmmm, this makes sense! As for the driving school, you go ahead and make arrangements first."

  Li Yuanba is going to explode! Damn, it's so hard to get some sleep? But this segment seems familiar... After all, Li Yuanba has been in this world for many years, and those past life memories are a bit fuzzy...

  Arriving at the martial arts arena, Li Yuan had already obtained Yang Guang's consent and brought over the pair of large hammers that belonged to Li Yuanba. Carrying the dual hammers onto the martial arts stage surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, Li Yuanba pointed a hammer at Yuwen Chengdu who was standing on the stage: "Yuwen Chengdu you fool! I'm about to explode you know?!" The martial arts stage in this world is very large, square-shaped, and has an area of over 500 square meters! In the high-martial world, the destructive power of a martial arts competition is unimaginable! Two innate martial artists engaging in combat would absolutely be visually shocking, with the excitement of the battle causing the surrounding hundred-meter radius to become a danger zone!

  Yuwen Chengdu sneered, "Don't say we don't understand! Today I'll make you know that no matter how great your strength is, it's still useless! The title of the world's number one brave warrior, do you think you deserve it? It's simply a joke!"

  "Your mom! I'm going to bed early! Hurry up, who cares about being the best in the world?! Nobody gives a damn!" Li Yuanba was really fed up, and with a double hammer strike, the loud noise made the soldiers below reveal painful expressions, retreating three steps back.

  Yuwen Chengdu was also taken aback by Li Yuanba's unexpected move, and furrowed his brow. With a flick of his wrist, he swung the 320-pound golden mace with phoenix wings, Yuwen Chengdu's pride was a kind of persistence: because he was the invincible Tianbao General, carrying the trust of the monarch and the expectations of his father on his shoulders, once defeated, he would lose that proud and confident gaze, so he couldn't afford to lose. Therefore, for the sake of victory, he spared no cost, even if it meant using any means necessary.

  He left a backhand, with the strength of a master like Zong Shi. At the beginning, when Yang Guang was killed, Yuwen Chengdu saw that purple light in the distance! And he also saw the scene where Shibikhan spat blood! A master-level character is unimaginable to ordinary people. Yuwen Chengdu stood on the city wall and resisted Shibikhan's multiple assassinations, of course, always paying attention to him behind. Although the large hammer-like giant hammer was far away, Yuwen Chengdu also remembered it in his heart! At the beginning, he thought that the person who used the big hammer was dead. Although it was a pity that such a character died under the Turkic army, he still admired the collision of the army and injured Master Shibikhan!

  Under the stage, there were three hundred soldiers, all of whom were elite warriors nurtured by the Yuwen family! Each one had innate strength! When Li Yuanba's unique giant hammer appeared, Yuwen Chengdu was grateful for his foresight! If he lost, he would let these three hundred soldiers rush up and kill Li Yuanba with chaotic knife strikes! He thought it wouldn't be needed, but now it seems like a wonderful move!

  Clasping his tightly sweating hands, Yuwen Cheng mustered all his strength! A golden aura burst forth, followed by several strands of condensed black aura mixed with the golden aura to form a dark gold dragon-shaped aura that wrapped around his body! This was his master's ultimate technique - Dragon Transformation Aura!

  Yu Quluo was one of the nine old men of the Sui Dynasty! Sui general, Fengyuan County Xiaoguan (northeast of Weinan City, Shaanxi Province) people. Followed Jin Wang Yang Guang to pacify Southern Chen, and was appointed as Kaifu for his merits. Followed Yang Su to pacify Jiangnan Gao Zhihui. Every battle had merit, added Kaifu, Gaotang County Gong, and was the governor of Diezhou. Later, followed Yang Su to conquer Tujue, and was promoted to Fengzhou Governor for his merits, later transferred to Anzhou Cishi, Zhaojun Taishou. In 613 AD, he followed Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Goguryeo. After the expedition returned, Liu Yuanjin rebelled, and Yu Quluo was ordered to pacify him. Yu Quluo successively defeated Zhu Xun and Guan Chong, but later sought wealth for himself, selling grain in Dongdu, due to Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Dongdu's prices were extremely expensive, and Yu Quluo gained huge profits. Emperor Yang of Sui suspected that he had ulterior motives, the matter was exposed, and he was killed.

  However, in this world, Yu Jü-Lóu was not killed, but instead retreated to the mountains and forests, because he wanted to put down all his burdens and impact the legend! Legend, this world is also just a few people's ears!

  Some people also speculated about Li Yuanba's final cause of death, among which was that Li Yuanba was killed by this person using the "dragging knife" method, and then secretly shot to death with a bow and arrow by Li Shimin! The description in "The Legend of Tang": One of the "Nine Old Men of Xing Tang", dissatisfied with Emperor Yang of Sui's extravagance and returned home to live in seclusion. In his later years, due to his apprentice Yuwen Chengdu being killed by Li Yuanba, he again came out of retirement to avenge under the instigation of his second apprentice Song Laosheng. He was still vigorous in old age, and at the front of Tongguan, he used the "dragging knife" method to kill Yuanba, but at the same time, he was momentarily careless and was shot dead by Li Shimin's arrow.

  Li Yuanba's resentment is also very deep! Coming to this world, the true energy cannot be cultivated, and when fighting, there is no light effect like others have during their heyday! Although he killed a Turk and his hammer emitted purple light, it was only occasional and not reliable, so he eventually gave up on the experiment that made him feel suffocated. Now looking at others, with a black dragon surrounding them, it's really majestic and domineering!

  Li Yuanba was momentarily filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Under the influence of his emotions, Yuwen Chengdu's eyes suddenly burst forth with an astonishing divine light! With a swift turn of his waist, he borrowed the momentum to take a sudden step forward, grasping the tail of his weapon with one hand, "Black Dragon Fury Strike", directly stabbing Li Yuanba who was still in a daze.

  "Damn, it looks so good!" Li Yuanba exclaimed enviously. Yuwen Chengdu's weapon, the Phoenix Winged Gold Halberd, was shaped like a horse spear, with sharp blades on both sides and two protrusions pointing upwards at the bottom of the blade. Its shape was extraordinary, capable of both stabbing and defending. It belonged to the category of long-handled weapons. The central blade, resembling a long spearhead, was primarily used for thrusting attacks. The curved blades on either side of the central blade not only allowed for attacking enemies but also provided effective defense. This weapon had not only powerful attacking capabilities but also possessed an extraordinary defensive ability due to its curved, serrated blades. However, its weakness lay in its weight distribution - the heavy central blade and curved sections made it unbalanced, with too much weight at the front and too little at the back. Therefore, only soldiers with exceptional arm strength could wield it. Just like Lü Bu's Heaven-Defying Halberd, ordinary people couldn't use it!

  The dark dragon wrapped around the body, now fully attached to the weapon, the tip of the spear covered by the dragon's head, the open dragon mouth like a black hole that absorbs light, captivating the soul!

  Wu Wen Cheng, who was about to stab Li Yuanba, was startled by that sentence and almost scattered his aura. "Die!" Just as he was about to stab Li Yuanba, Wu Wen Cheng couldn't help but shout loudly.

  "Damn it, you're so arrogant!" Li Yuanba couldn't help but mock. His right hand lifted the massive hammer, and with a calm and collected tone, he struck first! With a loud "clang", the hammer landed on the dragon's head! Yuwen Cheng was caught off guard by the irresistible force and was spun around several times while holding onto his weapon...

  Li Yuanba took a few steps forward, his left hand clamping down on the large hammer in his right hand. With a sudden movement, he slapped the back of Yuwen Chengdu's head with his right hand: "Get out!"

  Yuwen Chengdu was suddenly pushed and fainted. Lying flat, his hands tightly grasped the weapon in front of him, sliding out a long distance...

  Yang Guang and his gang on the viewing platform looked at the scene in front of them, too shocked to believe it! One move! Yuwen Cheng, who had defeated the Grand Master, was not just any ordinary person!

  At this time, the soldiers under the stage simultaneously drew out their large knives from their waists and rushed up to surround Li Yuanba, raising their knives to kill him!

  Li Yuan first came to his senses and immediately asked Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, look! Please hurry up and stop it!" In fact, Li Yuan meant to let Yang Guang stop the behavior of those soldiers who were about to die. After all, Yuwen Chengdu had been knocked unconscious, and if these soldiers were killed again, the momentum would be a bit too much...

  Yang Guang also came back to his senses, what's going on here? Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop it. "Damn it, you still want to gang up on me!" Li Yuanba was truly enraged! With a loud roar, like a spinning top, a pair of massive hammers emitting a faint purple glow flew up and down, and in the blink of an eye, the stage became hell! Only Li Yuanba was left standing, putting down his hammer, with one hand on his waist and the other pointing at Yuwen Chengdu, who had fainted from anger, cursing: "You despicable, shameless, third-rate bastard, luckily I held back! An ordinary person would really be blown away by your trashy explosion..." A string of modern-day curses appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties...
