Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 458: Sword and Gu
Chapter 458 Sword and Gu
These words were so arrogant that many of the clan leaders who were still arguing with each other could no longer argue with each other and all stared at Zhao Changhe.
Yue Hongling sat on a small bench and held her chin up, watching Zhao Changhe's appearance with interest.
There is a little jealousy in her heart, but really not much. She is particularly interested in this style of fighting all the heroes with a sword alone, and wishes she could take part in it. It's a pity that this **** said "whoever beats me" instead of "there are two people on our side". It's a pity.
But it doesn't matter, he's very handsome.
My little brother has really grown up now, and he is focusing on his own aesthetics... The sword pointed at an angle, the proud and independent back, so beautiful.
Sisi pursed her lips and quietly tugged at the corner of Zhao Changhe's clothes: "Hey, don't be too arrogant. Although there are not as sophisticated tricks as yours here, the Gu technique can make up for it, and it will not be reflected in the troubled times list. If you don’t understand this level, it’s easy to fall into trouble.”
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Isn't this great? I want to experience Miao Jiang's Gu skills. Is there a more suitable way than a one-on-one arena?"
Yue Hongling smiled slightly, she thought so too.
The reason why Lan Tiankuo was "failed and trapped" in the previous assassination was that he encountered a poisonous spell that was difficult for him to understand. Fortunately, he was safe in the end. In fact, she knew a lot about Sisi before she dared to take action, but it was different whether she had in-depth experience. If she could be given a chance to challenge the heroes one-on-one, it would be a great opportunity for a swordsman who wanted to see the world of practice. It's a beautiful thing.
Of course, this requires courage and confidence, otherwise it will be embarrassing to go on stage. Don't think that there aren't many people on the Troubled Times List here. With the help of Gu, all strength assessments will have to be repeated.
Sisi paused: "I'm too lazy to care about you. What I'm afraid of is that if you lose, my seat will be gone!"
"Saint be at peace." Zhao Changhe looked around and said in a low voice: "Hey, is there a battle ceremony, blessing from the saint or something?"
Sisi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons: "Hey, you used to pretend to be serious with me, but now that Sister Yue is already around, you should be more serious, but you suddenly started teasing me? So you like it? In front of so-and-so, it’s boring if they’re not around, right?”
Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "I was just kidding, where did you get such divergent thinking?"
Sisi hummed and said: "There is a ceremony for going into battle. Kneel down and lick the saint's feet."
Zhao Changhe glanced at her feet subconsciously.
Why can she always be so white and sparkling when she travels through the mountains and forests without wearing shoes? Even if her true energy can protect her feet now, what about those earlier years? Logically speaking, it should be very rough...
Sisi looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Does it look good?"
No matter how beautiful she is, no one is licking her, and the maid is still shaking the world?
Before Zhao Changhe had time to answer, a voice came from behind:
"Thinking about protecting the Dharma...thinking about protecting the Dharma?"
Zhao Changhe turned his head and saw a young man in black standing in the field, looking at him speechlessly.
Are you here to challenge the heroes, or are you here to flirt with your saint?
Zhao Changhe’s face was not red, in fact he was so red that he couldn’t see it: “I thought you were going to discuss it, just asking the saint for some pre-battle instructions...”
The man said: "Meng Tai of the Dong ethnic group, come to learn the swordsmanship of Si Protector."
Zhao Changhe confirmed: "So you have already recognized this model of competition selection?"
The leader of the Bai tribe said: "Yes, since the Spirit Tribe proposed this, we discussed it and felt that this is a simple and clear way. It is difficult to judge the strength of each tribe, and the strong should always be respected."
In the age of martial arts, it was indeed the same wherever I went... It's a good thing I didn't take the Four Books and Five Classics test with you.
Zhao Changhe nodded and subconsciously planned to salute Meng Tai with his sword hilt upside down and his fists clasped. Suddenly he realized that this kind of Central Plains etiquette was wrong, so he directly turned into a sword-waving flower: "Come on."
An angry look appeared on Meng Tai's face... They were not rude. In his opinion, Si Laoye's behavior was tantamount to contempt.
He stepped forward with anger, and with a "swish" sound, the long knife passed through a space of several feet, and hit Zhao Changhe's neck: "Pay attention!"
Meng Tai used a knife, an ordinary single knife.
Zhao Changhe still doesn't have much confidence in swordsmanship, but he is really considered one of the current masters of swordsmanship. He knows the movements and intentions of the swords in his heart, and there are very few changes. He knew all of Meng Tai's subsequent changes without even looking, and he also knew where the opponent's fulcrum for changes was.
"Whoosh!" The sword light was like water, pointing at Meng Tai's wrist.
It was precisely at the fulcrum where all his changes started. No matter how he changed, he could not escape the sniper attack of this sword, and all back-end momentum was cut off.
With just one sword move, knowledgeable people such as Lei Zhentang and Yue Hongling were moved.
Good swordsmanship...
However, Meng Tai did not panic. His wrist twisted as if it had no bones. Zhao Changhe's sword passed by and missed!
The power of Meng Tai's sword was only slightly hindered by this twist, and soon returned to normal, still slashing towards Zhao Changhe's neck.
How could Zhao Changhe, who had misjudged the situation behind him and stabbed out with his sword, take it back so easily? The sword was approaching his neck, so he had to quickly retract his sword and dodge. He relied on his sharp body skills to narrowly avoid the sword.
With just one strike, dangers abound, and you are at an absolute disadvantage.
It is indeed easy for people from China to get into trouble when they arrive in Miao territory... It goes against common sense.
Sisi sent a message from behind to remind: "This is the spirit snake voodoo, which makes the body bones as flexible as a snake. Don't use conventional thinking to judge the changes in the hands and feet. And this voodoo is different from the voodoo techniques such as giant strength and copper skin. It is conflicting, which means that he is pursuing dexterity and is lacking in other directions..."
Before she even said the word "lost", Sisi's eyes suddenly widened.
Zhao Changhe, who was originally falling into the leeward branch, moved more and more easily. Meng Tai, who seemed to be chasing with a knife as fast as a knife, couldn't move anymore. He seemed to be stuck in some quagmire. He turned to the left as if he was going to After being electrocuted, there seemed to be a mountain of knives to the right, and I didn't dare to move anywhere. Finally, I turned into a toad with grief and anger, and slashed angrily with the knife: "What kind of magic did you use!"
Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud when he used voodoo to talk about other people's sorcery.
Faced with this little jumping knife, Zhao Changhe felt a little nostalgic: "This toad dance is so familiar... You don't dance well enough, and your strength is too weak."
Following the words, the long sword came first and was already pointed at Mengtai's Dantian. The sword energy penetrated into the opponent's Dantian, locking all the energy in the opponent's Dantian.
Meng Tai's sword became limp. Zhao Changhe caught it with his left hand and pushed it forward: "Brother Meng, this spiritual snake Gu is a bit interesting... I'll ask for it if I have the opportunity in the future."
Meng Tai silently felt the energy locked in his body, and was very surprised: "What kind of magic did you just use?"
Zhao Changhe did not hesitate to share: "It was a kind of sword energy formation. Every sword parry I made left a trace of sword energy on the spot. The longer the confrontation, the more sword energy around me, and Brother Meng... It’s like being trapped in a sword formation, and I can’t use it no matter how flexible I am.”
Meng Tai was surprised: "How is this done? Why can the sword energy stay in the space and not dissipate!"
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "This is a secret, and it cannot be known except by the spirit race."
Meng Tai bowed sincerely: "I lost."
Sisi has a lot of face.
Actually, they are pouting behind their backs. The Spirit Clan doesn’t know this secret either... The sword light fills the courtyard like water. This is Tang Wanzhuang’s unique technique!
When Tang Wanzhuang dismantled the battle between Long Que and the ancient sword Dragon King, she used this routine, but hers was more subtle. The sword energy overflowed like water, dragging the sword like a deep pool so that it could not move at all. Zhao Changhe's sword energy was just sword energy, thick as a forest, and could not be used in more subtle ways. But it's enough. Facing this kind of opponent, this routine is the best solution, and there is no need for her Sisi to give any guidance behind his back.
The venue became quiet.
Zhao Changhe didn't recognize Meng Tai and didn't know his name... In fact, he was no ordinary swordsman. He was a very famous master of the Dong ethnic group. He was proficient in swordsmanship and Gu, and he was very famous in the southwest.
But after only a few breaths of fighting with this Silaoye, the victory was already decided. This Silaoye didn't even use Gu skills to assist, just pure swordsmanship!
For a while, no second person ended up, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn... How could this humble spirit clan be so strong?
Lei Zhentang had a sullen face and said slowly: "In the battle of Bailiao in the southwest, isn't it a bit weird to use swordsmanship alone? Those who don't know may think it's a sword discussion between warriors from the Central Plains."
Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "Don't we in the Southwest Bailiao practice sword practice? How about the Miao sword of Chief Lei, which looks good hanging on the waist?"
Lei Zhentang said: "The combination of sword and Gu is our method."
"Actually, I also have Gu. I didn't expect that even a great master like Chief Lei couldn't tell it." Zhao Changhe grinned and his arms suddenly bulged in a circle: "Look, a giant Gu."
Lei Zhentang looked twitching and stopped talking.
"It's just that it doesn't look good to use your strength to bully people. Just use swordsmanship to defeat hundreds of tribes, that's all." Zhao Changhe retracted his bulging arm and pointed his sword horizontally: "Who else wants to Come to give me advice?"
People looked at this guy speechlessly and saw the excitement in his eyes. He really hoped that someone would fight him more and experience the skills of hundreds of races.
It seems that he is not fighting for the interests of the clan, but seeing the differences in the world and looking for his own way of swordsmanship.
Sisi retreated and sat back on the small bench, sitting side by side with Yue Hongling, holding her chin in her hands, muttering in a low voice: "Sister Yue, he seems to have robbed you of your experience."
Yue Hongling pointed out: "The experience is done by myself, there is no need to grab it... But I am afraid that some people will grab something else..."
