Chapter 250: Guards Hongzhang
There was a sudden "bang" sound in the secret passage, and the deep blue Dou Qi burst out instantly. The misty Dou Qi wrapped Sima Yun, forming a defensive Qi shield.
"snort……"
In the darkness of the secret passage, the man looked at the dark blue fighting spirit emitted by Sima Yun's whole body, and he couldn't help but snort with extreme contempt and disdain in his breath.
"The defensive Qi shield at the peak of the intermediate level is just a mantis arm that is used to be a chariot in front of this senior middle-level magician. Haha..."
The man hiding in the dark of the secret passage peeked at Sima Yun with a look of alertness, as if he had seen the biggest joke in the world, and suddenly couldn't help laughing loudly.
The magician sect uses domineering natural power to summon powerful magic attacks, attract the power of heaven and earth, and also uses long-range attacks. Its power is naturally not to be underestimated.
However, the difficulty of practicing magicians is far higher than that of the Earth Warriors. Secondly, although magicians have strong attack power, their defense ability is not high, so this magician is not a profession that many practitioners are passionate about.
Among the three popular professions in the Demon-killing Continent, magicians are extremely precious, and the first step in their cultivation is the Earth Warriors, followed by swordsmen, and magicians rank last among the three popular professions.
However, it is precisely because the magician can attract the power of heaven and earth and release powerful magic attacks that the realm of the advanced magician is equivalent to that of the purple-level earth warrior.
This person's cultivation level actually reached the advanced intermediate level, which was only one level lower than Xuanyuan Lingling, a wizard of the protection of the country in the country of Cyan, and his strength was comparable to that of the earth warriors at the intermediate level of Purple.
Sima Yun’s mere intermediate-level earth warrior is several levels lower than this person, so the difference in strength between the two is not a sporadic.
"Boy, with your strength, you have the courage to trek into the secret passage of the Grand Sima Mansion? Hehe... You can't even pass this first level of our general, and you are simply seeking death."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a faint light appeared in his palm, not taking a low-level opponent like Sima Yun seriously.
Hesitate...
Just a few breaths, the faint light changed completely, turning into a ball of flames, and the beating flames illuminated a large area around.
Sima Yun instantly saw the man's appearance through the fire-type magic.
But I saw that the man's face was covered with stubble, and the skin on his face looked rough and dark. His thick eyebrows and big eyes were filled with a cold light, which was daunting. Under the wrinkles on his face were full of swords, a scar that was extremely terrifying from the bridge of his nose was slanted downward and reached his left jaw.
"Xu...Uncle Xu?"
Sima Yun looked at the man's face and hesitated for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble slightly.
When he suddenly heard the word "Uncle Xu", the man's body trembled. The fire-type magic he used in his palm suddenly stopped, and the light of the flames dimmed.
After a while, the middle-aged man who was called "Uncle Xu" by Sima Yun suddenly took a step forward and slowly walked towards Sima Yun.
Without the fluctuations of spiritual power, the murderous aura in the secret passage disappeared without a trace.
In the dark secret passage, it returned to its previous state.
In this quiet secret passage, the middle-aged man, who was called "Uncle Xu" by Sima Yun, walked harder and closer to Sima Yun.
There was a illuminated brazier in the secret passage, and the brazier was filled with kerosene. However, just when Sima Yun started the secret passage and secret door, the masters who were seizing the secret passage put out the flames in the brazier for safety reasons.
At this moment, Sima Yun hurriedly took out the fire note and lit the light brazier beside him.
"Young Master?"
The middle-aged man, known as Uncle Xu, suddenly rushed to Sima Yun with one step, hugged Sima Yun, and said excitedly.
"Uncle Xu, is it really you?"
Sima Yun stared at the middle-aged man and confirmed to the middle-aged man.
It turned out that this middle-aged man, who was called Uncle Xu by Sima Yun, was named Xu Hongzhang. He was a leader of the Guards and a powerful magician with a high school level.
More than ten years ago, in order to maintain the control of the Dahu Empire Military Department, King Longhong personally formed an institution called the "Gui Junshi". This institution was openly responsible for investigating and supervising illegal and disorderly elements in the military department, but in fact it was King Longhong's eyes placed in the military department.
Although the Guard Office also works in the military headquarters, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Grand Sima, nor is it under the command of the Imperial Guard. The Supreme Leader of the Guard Office, together with the Imperial Guard Commander Wei Feng, was directly dispatched by the King Longhong. His power is no less than that of the Grand Sima, who commanded the Five Eighteen Armies of the Five Directions and Eighteen Armies across the country.
Because the Guard Division has great power and responsibilities, it is extremely attractive to have the salary and treatment of the Guard Division, but it is difficult to enter the Guard Division.
First, when entering the Guards' Office, you must go through various severe and cruel assessment projects, and then you must review the household registration of your ancestors for three generations. There is no bad birth stain within three generations. Otherwise, no matter how strong your cultivation ability is, the Guards' Office will not accept you.
The so-called bad household registration stain refers to those who have had experience in committing crimes and were noted by the Ministry of Revenue on the household registration file, and their household registration is called bad household registration stain.
People whose household registration is classified as a bad household registration is very unpopular in the prefectures of Dahu Prefectures, so most people whose household registration is a bad household registration either go business or leave Dahu for other development.
In short, the selection of the Guards is by no means something ordinary can get away with. On the contrary, those who can be selected into the Guards are among the top elites.
As the Guard Division, Xu Hongzhang was the deputy general of Sima Mao ten years ago. He followed Sima Mao to fight on the battlefield and made countless contributions.
The scar on Xu Hongzhang's face was left by Da Kuo in the process of fighting with a foreigner in order to protect Sima Yun in order to protect Sima.
After not seeing each other for ten years, Sima Yun has grown into a big guy, so Xu Hongzhang did not recognize Sima Yun just now.
In Sima Yun's subconscious, Xu Hongzhang's appearance was still the image of the handsome man ten years ago.
Over the past ten years, Xu Hongzhang's appearance has also changed. Sima Yun recognized him with the unique scar on Xu Hongzhang's face.
"Young Master, you didn't miss it. I will be your Uncle Xu!"
Xu Hongzhang patted Sima Yun on the shoulder and cried with joy.
"Uncle Xu, you haven't seen each other for ten years, you are much older!"
Sima Yun stared at the scar on Xu Hongzhang's cheek and said sobbingly.
"Haha, silly kid, you have grown up so old. Uncle Xu is not a god or monster. How can you make it impossible to age?" Xu Hongzhang punched Sima Yun in the chest without any strength. He continued to smile and said, "Well, the bones in his body are still relatively tough."
