After finishing his official duties, Cao Shaoqin sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced martial arts.
His ability to grow from a young **** to the current governor was not a fluke, but was entirely due to his years of persistent efforts.
Literacy and reading, practicing martial arts, military strategies, observing people's words, and understanding of the world... If he lacks any ability, he will not be able to reach his current position.
Even though he has reached the top, he still dares not to slack off. He will practice on time every day and will never be lazy or slip up.
Because he knows that it is too cold to be at a high place. The higher you reach the top, the more jealous you become. There are countless people in this world who want him dead, so he must not slack off.
When Xiang Nan saw Cao Shaoqin practicing in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but admire this man's strong will.
Generally speaking, power corrupts people most easily.
Especially for those who have ascended to high positions, perhaps at the beginning, they can still maintain a modest and prudent attitude, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and constantly motivate themselves to strive for self-improvement. But once it gets older, it will inevitably fall into a state of complacency, laziness and mediocrity.
For example, when Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji came to the throne, he worked hard to govern, worked diligently, cared about state affairs, and worked hard without complaint, thus creating the "Kaiyuan Era".
But in the later period, he began to be unwilling to make progress, was lazy, neglected the state affairs, favored traitors, and raised tigers, which led to the decline of national power and the people's livelihood. Eventually, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, causing the Tang Dynasty's national power to decline from prosperity.
Cao Shaoqin is now the governor of Dongchang. He holds the emperor hostage and orders hundreds of officials, but he is still not complacent. He still practices martial arts diligently and studies hard. Such a character is really remarkable.
No wonder there are so many eunuchs in the palace, but it is indeed not easy for him to be the governor.
…
Xiang Nan watched Cao Shaoqin practice and unknowingly mastered the method of moving his inner breath.
“It’s the "Shadowless Divine Art"!" Xiang Nan suddenly thought.
"The Wuxiang Divine Skill" is one of the martial arts of Xiaoyao sect and a unique skill in "Xiaoyao Yufeng".
Once you have mastered it, you can not only imitate the martial arts of various sects at will, but you can also imitate them immediately as long as you watch the martial arts performed by others. Even the running route of internal energy can be seen through. It can be called the martial arts version of "Sharingan".
Xiang Nan originally thought that this magical skill was only suitable for the martial arts world of Jin Yong, but he did not expect that it would also work in this world.
However, it can be seen from this that the force value of the world of "New Dragon Inn" is not high, and at most it is on par with Jin Yong's martial arts world.
And Cao Shaoqin's strength is not higher than Xiang Nan, roughly equivalent to the level of the Four Jue.
“His inner strength and mental skills do have merit, but they are not very powerful.” Xiang Nan calculated in his mind.
Xiang Nan has learned too many internal skills and mental techniques, such as Nine Yang Divine Skill, Nine Yin Manual, Beiming Divine Skill, Xiao Wuxiang Skill, Wuxiang Divine Skill, Rama Divine Skill, Toad Skill, Yi Jin Jing, Tai Xuan Jing, and Shen Zu The scriptures, etc., each one is considered a unique skill in martial arts.
As for Cao Shaoqin's internal skills and mental methods, they are not considered to be brilliant. At most, they are equivalent to Quanzhen internal skills. It's just that Cao Shaoqin is extremely talented, and even a not too brilliant mental technique can make him a top master.
Xiang Nan was thinking in his mind, and suddenly he stretched out his five fingers, and five extremely sharp sword energies spurted out, attacking Cao Shaoqin with lightning speed.
The sword energy arrives in the blink of an eye.
Cao Shaoqin suddenly opened his eyes, rolled his head back, and dodged four sword qi, but he was still stabbed by one, and a stream of blood spurted out on his chest.
It turns out that he is a master of the Four Ultimate Levels, and his reputation is not in vain. When the sword energy came to me, I felt something in my heart and hurriedly got out of the way. But compared to Xiang Nan, his martial arts was still half a step behind, so he was still injured by a sword energy.
“Who?” he shouted immediately.
“It’s you!” Cao Shaoqin immediately saw clearly that Xiang Nan was Zhou Huaian. "It's me." Xiang Nan nodded.
“If there is a road to heaven, you will not leave, and if there is no door to hell, you will throw yourself there.” Cao Shaoqin sneered, “I was worried that I had no place to look for you, but I didn’t expect you to come to the door yourself. Today, I will kill you!”
"You'd better think about how to save your life first." Xiang Nan sneered, "Grudge, today is your day to die."
"The mantis's arm is like a chariot! The world is huge and I am the biggest. You asked for this road to hell." Cao Shaoqin said, and attacked Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan did not dodge or dodge, he stretched out his ten fingers, and ten extremely sharp sword energy spurted out at once.
This sword energy has no color or form, but it has substance and form, making it impossible to guard against it.
Cao Shaoqin knew how powerful it was and immediately waved his sleeves to stop it.
You can see the sword energy piercing through the sleeves, and the pieces are falling in pieces, like fallen leaves. His arms were also oozing with blood, and there were wounds made by the sword energy.
Cao Shaoqin was shocked. He never expected that Xiang Nan's martial arts was so powerful. Such a fierce air attack was completely beyond his imagination.
Since he didn't want to suffer the immediate disadvantages, he jumped up and fled.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan dodged and came to his side. Then he used Tianshan's plum-breaking hand to capture his wrist and pressed his veins. "I want to escape now, but it's too late."
As he spoke, he activated the Beiming Divine Art. For a moment, Cao Shaoqin's internal energy poured into his body continuously.
"You...you...you..." Cao Shaoqin felt his inner strength draining away rapidly, and he couldn't help but feel frightened and shocked. He tried his best to break free, but no matter what, he couldn't break away from Xiang Nan's grasp.
It's no wonder that even after being captured by Xu Zhu, King Dalun Ming still couldn't break away.
…
At this moment, I heard someone outside the door asking, "Master Governor, my subordinates heard the commotion, do you have any other instructions?"
When Cao Shaoqin heard this, he was immediately happy. He heard that the person speaking outside the door was none other than Chang Yanxiao.
As long as the saying goes and smiles, he can escape. After all, no matter how powerful the warrior is, there is nothing he can do when faced with thousands of troops.
So he was about to shout loudly, but suddenly he opened his mouth and couldn't speak. It turned out that before he knew it, his dumb hole had been poked by Xiang Nan.
"I'm fine. I was just practicing. You guys should step back and don't disturb me without my instructions." Xiang Nan then said.
The tone, tone and tone are exactly the same as those of Cao Shaoqin.
Seeing what he said, Chang Yan outside the door smiled and nodded, "In that case, I will leave."
Cao Shaoqin looked incredulous. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to be able to imitate his tone. It was really weird.
And he also knew that as the saying goes, once the smile goes away, he would have no hope anymore, so there was despair in his eyes.
"Are you also afraid and desperate? Then why don't you think about the people you tortured and slaughtered, will they be afraid and will they despair?" Xiang Nan asked coldly, and then Increased the speed of absorbing internal energy.
In less than one meal, Cao Shaoqin's internal energy had been absorbed by Xiang Nan.
Then he struck out with his palm and cut off Cao Shaoqin's head, ending the gelding's life.
