Wang Po of Tianliang had finally appeared in the capital.
Seeing the blue-clothed man outside the door, Chen Changsheng finally understood why he had encountered Xiao Zhang here.
The people in the world that understood you the most were often not your friends, but your enemies.
This was a very cliché, and it was also a very cliché that was often correct.
In the entire capital, no one could have imagined that Wang Po would come to the Wei Estate. Only Xiao Zhang had, so he had infiltrated the Wei Estate and waited, but he had not expected that Chen Changsheng would be the first to arrive.
Wang Po looked at Chen Changsheng in the snow, somewhat surprised, and then he broke into a smile.
With this smile, his drooping brows rose like the sunlight piercing through the clouds, inspiring admiration.
So you were also here.
This sort of coincidental feeling was very good.
Chen Changsheng and Wang Po truly were kindred spirits. The paths they walked were often the same, and the places they went were often the same.
Whether it was the abyss brimming with the shadow of death, the Divine Kingdom above the sea of stars, the heavily-guarded Imperial Palace, or the unknown Wei Estate, none of it mattered.
Wang Po extended an invitation to Chen Changsheng. "Together?"
"Okay." Without hesitation, Chen Changsheng accepted this invitation and began to walk out of the estate. With a slight shake of his right hand, a drop of blood fell from his sword into the snow like a plum blossom.
Xiao Zhang was furious. He yelled at the pair, "Hey!"
His hand gripping his spear, he stood in the snow, a brazen and fierce aura soaring into the sky.
But Wang Po did not even glance at him. Chen Changsheng turned his head to glance at him, clasped his hands in greeting, and then turned to continue forward.
Wang Po's disregard and Chen Changsheng's indifference made it impossible for Xiao Zhang to control his emotions. He yelled, "Aiyayaya! I'm going to die from anger! "
His cry was very unpleasant, hoarse and somewhat shrill. It was like a crow that had not been able to drink water for many days in the desert.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng had already walked out of the Wei Estate and stood next to Wang Po.
Hearing Xiao Zhang's strange cries, Wang Po's brows drooped once more. He asked somewhat helplessly, "Just what do you want to do?"
Ever since he was very young, he had often sparred with geniuses like Xiao Zhang, Liang Wangsun, Xun Mei, and Xiao De. Sometimes it was in the Grand Examination, sometimes it was in the Boiling Stone Summit, sometimes it was in the Garden of Zhou, sometimes it was in the Mausoleum of Books, sometimes it was in Blue Pass, sometimes it was in Xunyang City. Although they were rivals and enemies, in terms of familiarity, they were even more familiar than family.
"What do I want to do? Of course, I want to fight you! "
Xiao Zhang shouted in a low voice. The white paper on his face fluttered in the wind and snow. It was a shocking scene.
However, Wang Po remained calm, even somewhat stiff. He didn't feel as if he was facing a great enemy.
No one knew what he was thinking, but he thought about it seriously for a while. Then he said to Xiao Zhang, "You can't beat me."
This was the truth, so it hurt even more.
Xiao Zhang was furious. His right hand seemed to want to break the iron spear that he was holding.
Without waiting for him to make a move, Wang Po continued, "Moreover, I have other matters to attend to today. If you insist on making a move, I might not hold back."
Xiao Zhang was so angry that he laughed and said in a hoarse voice, "Have you been merciful in the past twenty years?"
Wang Po replied, "In the past, even if I didn't hold back, it would still have been very difficult to kill you on the spot, but today is different."
Xiao Zhang shouted, "What's different?"
Wang Po replied, "Right now, there are two of us. You will die."
Xiao Zhang's breathing stagnated.
This was still the truth, so it was still very hurtful and difficult to answer.
Xiao Zhang truly had not expected that Chen Changsheng would appear in the Wei Estate.
If it was Wang Po, even if he was no match, he would not be afraid.
If it was Chen Changsheng, he had absolute confidence that he could defeat him with his spear.
But if his opponents were Wang Po and Chen Changsheng, then he truly had no chance of victory, and there really was a chance that he would die.
However, this was not in line with Wang Po's way of doing things, just like how he had vanished without a trace upon entering the capital.
He looked at Wang Po and shouted, "You're actually willing to join hands with someone?"
Wang Po replied, "I've already joined hands with him in Xunyang City. Moreover, what I want to do today is rather important. I can't let you stop me. "
Xiao Zhang asked, "Just what are you going to do? You should be well aware that as long as you walk on the street, everyone will come to kill you. "
"I'm going to kill Zhou Tong."
Wang Po's reply was very calm and unperturbed. "I thought that you already knew."
From the moment Wang Po appeared, Chen Changsheng had said nothing.
Although his current status was not one bit lower than Wang Po's or Xiao Zhang's, out of respect for his seniors, he was willing to maintain his silence.
Xiao Zhang did not leave him behind, asking, "And why do you insist on killing Zhou Tong?"
Chen Changsheng's reply was very serious. "Just like killing Assistant Minister Wei. Only by doing this can I tell the world that doing this is wrong, so that these kinds of people and matters will appear less often."
On the side, Wang Po was very pleased to hear this, saying, "Correct. Being ungrateful is wrong, and selling out one's master for glory is also wrong. Since you've done something wrong, you have to pay the price."
"Selling out? The Tianhai Empress is no good person, so why haven't any of you come to kill her? "Xiao Zhang sneered.
Wang Po replied, "Because I'm not confident in killing Tianhai, so I don't have the courage."
Xiao Zhang asked, "Now you have the confidence to kill Zhou Tong?"
Wang Po replied, "Yes, because my blade is even faster."
Xiao Zhang harshly rebuked, "Where's all this reasoning coming from? In order to live, is there anything that can't be done?"
"You have your reasoning, and we have ours. What if the two sides conflict? I didn't understand it before, but it's only recently that I've understood. "
Wang Po looked into his eyes and seriously said, "If we kill you, then our reasoning will naturally win."
Chen Changsheng replied, "It's precisely this reasoning."
Xiao Zhang was quiet for a while, then said, "It sounds rather reasonable."
Wang Po calmly said, "If you agree with this reasoning, then don't try to keep us here, or else we really will kill you."
Xiao Zhang stared into his eyes and said, "In these past several decades, in countless battles, you've never said so much to me."
Wang Po replied, "Because I want to convince you."
Xiao Zhang asked, "Why do you want to convince me?"
Wang Po replied, "Because this way, I won't need to use my blade against you."
Several dozen days ago, the entire continent knew that he had left Scholartree Manor and come to the capital.
From that time until now, he had not used a single blade.
His blade intent had already accumulated to an unimaginable level.
If Xiao Zhang were to use his spear, he would certainly not be a match for this blade.
But he was not confident that he could walk very far on the streets of the capital.
… …
… …
In the snowstorm, Wang Po and Chen Changsheng walked on the street, one in front and one behind.
They did not walk shoulder to shoulder because Chen Changsheng had insisted that he was not worthy.
It was like they had returned to Xunyang City. They had also been one in front, one behind, facing off against an expert of the Divine Domain, their bodies bathed in blood, unwilling to rest until death.
But at that time, they had been breaking out of an encirclement, while today they were going to kill.
