Chapter 12: Capture the Crown, Life and Death
The goat's pass leads directly to the east and west dwellings of Huangshi Town, and there is a small mountain stream from which it originates, and then crosses the villages and towns, flowing leisurely in front of the yellow sand-stricken dry land, because the mountain stream comes from the stone crevices, so no one knows where its water comes from.
Jiang Ming said: "It is said that 'water flows in the sky and covers the earth', and this mountain stream revitalizes the entire Huangshi, which can be regarded as a matter of merit, and it must be said to be natural creation." Mu Qinglan only silently responded to his sigh, whether it was right or not was no longer in her heart, but it was too indifferent to admit it like this.
"Someone!" Jiang Ming's heart moved, but he saw a person rushing out of the mountain road, and then the dust was stirring, and three more people rushed to come, ordinary people only felt that it was revenge, but Jiang Ming had a premonition that he would definitely not be able to escape from this matter.
The three people who chased after him surrounded the Xingyue robed people in front of them in a three-legged shape, and one of them said: "If this allows you to escape with your things, the face of the three princes of my Qin Dynasty will be lost." The robed man said: "Don't force me, Qiu Tong, the third prince of the Qin Dynasty, Jin Ji, the young sect master of the Jinshui Sect, and the second-level killer of the Jiuye Tiangang Sect, just rely on your three juniors, it's like taking this copper tripod from my hands?"
Qiu Tong is a beautiful and noble son, his waist is a purebred dark green imperial jade, wearing a splendid colorful four-clawed python robe, stroking the mountains and rivers ink Danqing, stepping on jade-inlaid gold-edged boots, making people look at the dragon and phoenix in the people, and the heroic horse in the horse. Qiu Tong used the fan as a knife, thinking that the ink in the game was all in his chest, and self-confidence was his most obvious expression, he smiled and said: "According to the investigation of my subordinates, although you are a person from the Burning Song Dao, but your comprehensive strength is only seven ranks, the three of us are here to besiege you today, it is already giving you great dignity, quickly hand over the copper tripod and then apologize for the crime, this is what you should do." ”
"Haha, it's just a prince, your tone is so big, is it possible that you already think that you are the prince of the Qin Dynasty or the real emperor?
"You old horseman......" Qiu Tong was annoyed and ashamed, and wanted to do it immediately, but was stopped by Jin Ji, the three of them wanted to work together to deal with the robed man, so they temporarily formed an alliance, Jin Ji naturally wanted to win the game, so he said: "Brother Qiu, don't worry, at this time he is already a turtle in the urn, don't be tempted by the method of agitation." Qiu Tong was slightly stunned, eased his mind, and said: "I didn't expect Brother Jin to have a wide range of knowledge, and he still has such a heart at this time, and this prince can only admire it." ”
"I heard that Jin Gongzi had already fought with Fang Bingzhu, who was in black and caught teeth, could it be that he was sobered up by others?" Jin Jiyin smiled and said: "Fang Bingyan is a strong man who has entered the position of the first line, I don't know how many years in this area, in my opinion, he is just a lion and tiger who is about to die of old age, will he still be my opponent in the future?" Jin Jijin was originally a talent who was expected to have a great future in the Jinshui Sect, growing up like a flock, in the heyday of Chinese martial arts of his peers, no one can compare, but fighting with Fang Bingyan, losing in one move in the case of the first shot, it is not a humiliation, he was fortunate to escape under such a disadvantage, but he can't see the hatred clearly.
The robed man laughed and said, "The two of you can be regarded as having the same smell, and I will no longer be separated from anything, but this gentleman from Tiangangmen, a famous killer organization in Jiuye, are you sure you want to get involved in this situation of life and death for the sake of this chicken-ribbed item?" The killer did not have the slightest expression, stared at the robed man intently, and said coldly: "Top-grade metal, even the Sanyuan Sect is eager to get it, if you can get it, even the lowest-grade high-grade metal is not a chicken rib." ”
"Okay, then you must kill me? You juniors really don't spare your life!" The Xingyue robed man breathed a sigh of relief, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually spread.
At this moment, a relaxed footstep came more and more clearly, although it was very subtle, but for the four people who all had high and low attainments in martial arts, it was very clear.
"You powerful people, fighting for a strange-looking stone, I mean you are born stupid, or do you not know what to do?"
When everyone looked, they saw that the man walked slowly with a light step, he was dressed in a casual linen robe, his appearance was ordinary and no one looked at him in the crowd, but his facial features were upright, there was a touch of resoluteness between his eyebrows, and his pupils were dark black, as if he could suck all the eyes of people. It would have been nice if he had dressed up like this, but his clothes were clinging to dirty mud and dust, his ten fingers were all cracked at the tips of his fingers, most of his nails were scattered, and there was faint blood that had not coagulated on the red flesh, which made the four people present deeply doubt his experience. But the most striking thing is the long halberd, the halberd body is dark, there is no superfluous carving and embellishment, but it looks extremely heavy and cold, the halberd blade is sharp, the left is like a miserable white crescent, the right is like a straight mountain, the halberd is annihilated by the army, it is daunting.
"What a heavy halberd!"
"Is this the young man who killed the glazed mad lion in the yellow sand the day before yesterday?" Jin Ji suddenly smiled, but laughed a hint of sarcasm, he said: "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be a black-clothed tooth-catching minion, just because you also want a piece of the pie?" Hearing that Jin Ji knew about this person, Qiu Tong and the killer were also relieved, they were afraid that it would be the help of the Xingyue Robe people, but they were not afraid of more nameless and powerless miscellaneous people to stir up the situation, with their huge power and noble status, they naturally had the qualifications to be proud of the ordinary.
Jiang Ming raised his eyes and swept over the four of them in turn, then let out a long roar towards the sky, raised his halberd and swooped over. "Let's start, remember the name of this halberd, Fang Yuan!"
The four of them didn't know who Jiang Ming was declaring war on, but his halberd was slashed horizontally, Rao Yiqiutong's outstanding force could only take a few steps back, Jiang Ming didn't just fight with one person, but just suppressed one person, and then rushed to kill the other person, I thought that the strength of this unseemly young man was at most similar to one of them, but who knew that he could be able to defeat one enemy and three without falling behind at an absolute speed? Seeing this scene, the Xingyue robed man wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but was blocked by a black halberd, and after two consecutive fights, he had a sense of retreat, and the opponent was not only amazing, but also far superior to himself in speed, perception, and combat experience.
Jiang Ming's arrogance was terrifying, but what made everyone feel powerless was that the four of them were faintly inferior, the Xingyue robed people wanted to get out of the battle, but they were blocked several times, so the battle situation, the four of them were encircled and beaten in a radius, and they wanted to break the deadlock but couldn't, it can be said that they were extremely guilty.
How could this kid be so powerful? Jin Ji shouted in shock: "Three, this person has a big plan, he wants to eat all four of me, if he still doesn't connect, let alone seize the treasure, whether he can survive this person's fierce halberd method is a question." The killer of Tiangangmen scolded him: "You bastard, this is what you call a black-clothed tooth-catching minion? ”
"Don't quarrel, let's join forces to get rid of this person first, and then we will fight!" Qiu Tong snorted, with great unwillingness and unconvincing in his heart, as a noble prince, he couldn't compare to an ordinary person who was not well known? The other three all nodded silently, indicating the subsequent alliance and cooperation.
"Is this going to be united? stupid cooperation!" Jiang Ming sneered, and his body burst out, and he rushed towards the Tiangangmen killer with the weakest defense on the side, the corners of his mouth jumped with a trace of disdain, and said in a low voice: "It's too late." ”
The halberd pierced through the defenses of the three people, and a halberd pierced into the chest of the Tiangangmen killer, this sudden attack was extremely vicious, and in the chaos of the battle, he saw the enemy's defense loopholes, and grabbed people's names with lightning speed, which made the other three people shudder and shock.
"You dare to kill me, I'm the ...... of Tiangang" The killer's groan was completely cut off when the halberd went deeper again, and he fell limply, long since he lost his life, making the other three feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died.
"I'm not afraid of who you are, standing in my way, killing you, it's inevitable. Jiang Ming looked at his body and said, giving the other three a great shock. Qiu Tong said coldly: "Do you know who you killed? In the future, you may be endlessly hunted and killed by Tiangangmen!" Jiang Ming responded: "You are from the Qin Dynasty, right? I don't know what will happen to me in the future, but today you will die!"
Left and right of the powerful, some people are born proud of life, one person and one life, like grass mustard, they rely on their superior status and power, fearless of the anger of ordinary people, they sneer at their strength is not enough, ridicule their fight for the crown and snatch their heads and ears with their heads, and then despise all the spirits like ants.
However, Qiu Tong, the third prince of the Qin Dynasty, had a prominent and precious status, and the doctors welcomed him, and hundreds of officials bowed down, and he was respected all the time, but now he has become a fish to be slaughtered in the mouth of a mountain and a wild man, how can he not be angry? The Son of Heaven can ambush millions of corpses in one anger, but the anger of the prince is enough to fill thousands of corpses.
"Pifu, do you think that you are better than my martial arts, and you can determine life and death? I am the third prince of the Qin Dynasty, I have long been named the king of the East China Sea, and I have a total jurisdiction of two million, and the emperor's bullet fingers can make the iron horse set foot on this Huangshi Town, you are a farmer in the mountains and fields, but you have a little martial arts, how dare you provoke the power of my Great Qin?" The third prince Qiu Tong was awe-inspiring, and he was not moved by the shock caused by Jiang Ming's killing of the Tiangangmen killer, such a strong and fearless courage was really majestic, but in Jiang Ming's eyes, it was extremely disgusting.
The Xingyue robed man stood still, and the young master of the Jinshui Sect, Jin Ji, did not dare to speak rashly, they knew that the strength of the young man in the mountains and fields in front of them was enough to crush the few of them joining forces, and the quick reaction was enough to gain insight into whether they had escaped, and under the gaze of several people, he dared to kill the Tiangangmen killer who was also powerful behind him, which showed that he would not be afraid of the threat of the Jinshui Sect or even the Qin Dynasty, and Qiu Tong's actions were quite unwise.
Jiang Ming slowly walked towards Qiutong, the halberd in his hand was full of anger, where the halberd went, the golden armor was broken, how could he stop because of a person's flesh and blood? Jiang Ming looked up to the sky and laughed, with a look of deep hatred, and said: "The prince is born with a kind of flesh and blood, and the people are all the same. I am not challenging the Mandate of Heaven, but confronting the naked power arts, there is nothing wrong with ordinary people, it is you powerful people who are powerful and blessed, and regard human life as a wasteland. I dare to compete with the prince for immortality, he relies on the gauze hat and I rely on this unyielding ordinary heart. "In the past, there were ancient Chu talented people who threw themselves into the river to prove their innocence and defend the difficult people, but now there are Huangshi farmers who scold the powerful with halberds and overthrow the name of the prince.
"Are you serious?" Jin Ji never wanted to fight Jiang Ming again, if he made a move, he might end up with the third prince, because he was not only facing a powerful martial artist, but also a conceited madman. Their friendship is not so deep! Jin Zang immediately said: "Mr. Jiang Ming, I have offended a lot before, I promise not to interfere in your affairs again, can you let me leave?"
Jiang Ming seemed to know Jin Ji's thoughts, and waved his hand without turning his eyes, signaling for him to leave, that kind of unruly attitude is absolute confidence.
When the third prince Qiu Tong saw this scene, he immediately panicked and shouted: "Brother Jin, are you willing to give up that piece of high-grade metal? If you are willing to help me, I will definitely use the position of my prince in the future to help you sit on the throne of the sect master of the Jinshui Sect." Jin Ji sneered and said, "I don't have the confidence to be able to snatch things in front of Mr. Jiang Ming, my defeat to the black-clothed tooth catcher is because I don't know how powerful the older generation is, so I will be so embarrassed." But today's defeat to our peer Mr. Jiang Ming, I only know that there are people outside the world, and I don't have the courage to get an unimportant treasure by taking risks. Moreover, I advise you, Brother Qiu, that the people who secretly pushed you and me to come to compete for high-grade metals have already arrived in Huangshi, and I don't know how much wind and waves there are to stir up, so I can do it myself. Jin Ji turned around and left, this time he was really leaving, he had planned to re-cultivate martial arts after returning to the sect.
"Bastard, timid and scared thing. Qiu Tong scolded, knowing that he was powerless to defeat Jiang Ming, so he slammed forward seven or eight inky black hexagonal crystals, and his body quickly retreated, rushing towards the middle of Huangshi Town, where there were a hundred of his subordinates, even if this madman was lucky enough not to die, he could order his subordinates to kill him.
However, Jiang Ming had long expected that the back hand of the third prince, the hidden weapon that his subordinates could carry with him, how could the master not have a backup to defend himself? Seven or eight hexagonal crystals exploded together, and the power of that would blow up the mortal body into scum, but Jiang Ming was so alert, the halberd was a weapon that he was extremely suitable for, and the fierce swing produced a huge wind, and it actually bounced all the crystals. Moyu gold steel is a very characteristic existence in the medium-grade metal, seven or eight collided with each other, out of thin air to produce a huge burst of power, although Qiutong escaped fast enough, it was still inevitably affected by the wave of fire, and the splendid robe was also burned off.
Qiu Tong was shocked, ignoring the burning pain in his legs, he increased his speed again and ran away, but unexpectedly, a small sound slowly came into his ears, his pupils quickly constricted into a point, and the murderous and invisible iron fan in his hand swung violently behind him, defense and counterattack were all in one, if on the battlefield, this horse pistol was enough to kill the opponent.
"It's time to pay off the debt!" Jiang Ming shouted, lifting the Fang Yuan halberd and slashing it violently, not hesitating at all because of the opponent's movements. The halberd falls, the fan is destroyed, and the person dies. Poor third prince Qiutong, he didn't know why Jiang Ming was resentful, so he ransomed his life for his subordinates who caused trouble, sad, sad!
The Xingyue robed man, who had been silent for a long time, applauded lightly and said, "With your absolute strength, suppress the four major seventh-stage masters, kill two people, and shock one back, your reputation will soon spread throughout Zhu Tianye." Jiang Ming shrugged indifferently, searched Qiu Tong's body, and finally found four black jade gold and steel crystals, and walked towards the robed man with a wry smile.
The robed man was also laughed at by this behavior, and said: "If you want to become a real powerhouse, you can go to a place with me to ensure that you are not afraid of those forces of the Qin Dynasty." Jiang Ming asked, "What does it mean to be a strong person?"
"When people practice martial arts, they seek a journey of self-detachment, and the things of those who practice martial arts can all depend on the power of the gentleman to know his fate, ask for luck, and fight for the sky. The human one, the martial arts, the ability to establish the body, the mortal style of the hegemon, the earth, the spiritual energy, the driving creature, the foundation of the feasible cultivator, the treacherous and changeable, the heavenly one, dare to create the condensation path, ingest the heaven and the earth for use, the immortal god can be. The realm of human status is actually no different from people, even if you become a generation of martial arts masters, ranking at the peak of the human position, you are just a martial artist, only by truly stepping into the realm of status, communicating with the spirit between heaven and earth, people can be convinced, and practice the path of immortals and gods. "The robes are humane.
"Are you following a Burning Pine Daoist, can he let you enter the status realm?"
"Yes. The mana of the Taoist is towering, if you can worship under the subordinates of the Taoist, with your qualifications and talents, you will be able to get great benefits, and when the time comes, the fish and dragon will turn over, not to mention a small Qin Dynasty, even if it is the entire Zhu Tianye, and even the land of the three walls, you can also have a place. ”
"Are you pulling me in? It sounds like a church promotion. ”
"Have you tried faith? When you see a person who is strong enough to be a god, then he is a perfect being, and his light will shine all around you, and your deeds will be blessed by the gods. ”
"What a fanatical cultist", Jiang Ming shook his head irritably, and said, "It's a pity that I can't join your faith, the only way I believe is myself, I am my god." Hand over what I want and leave, I don't have much enmity with you. ”
The Xingyue robed man sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity, don't you think about it anymore? But are you really going to let me go?Then what's the matter with your footwork of slowly changing your fighting stance?Do you want to sneak attack me?" Jiang Ming was taken aback, he was indeed secretly preparing to make a move, because he understood that it was the Burning Song Dao people who wanted to "supplement the yang with yin", he didn't know how powerful the Burning Song Dao people were, but he couldn't do anything powerful to let the tiger return to the mountain and set up the enemy. It's just that the starry moon robe man in front of him makes him incomprehensible, and it seems that he is not more than the strength he had in the previous battle. Such a defense was seen through by the opponent at a glance, Jiang Ming did not become angry, but raised the halberd with a cheeky face, and said, "You seem to be very dangerous, I don't want to let go of the hidden danger." ”
The Star-Moon Robe Man laughed out loud and said, "Your excellent insight is really impressive, even the genius in the altar can't compare to it. It's just that geniuses are going to fall after all, and since you don't consider my proposal, then I can only kill again. But seeing that the robed man's jaw opened slightly, as if he had swallowed something, and in just a moment, the robed man's eyes instantly brightly pierced people's eyes, and his energy seemed to burst out in his body when the huge strength was relaxed, and it was sublimated and restored.
"What, how do I feel that he may have touched the realm of status!" Jiang Ming was shocked, he couldn't hesitate in his heart, he had to strike first. At the moment, the body moved, one step turned into three steps, the wind swirled, the halberd fell, and the sharp blade with a cold white light went towards the neck of the robed man, if it was split, the robed man would inevitably be separated. However, Jiang Ming still underestimated the strength of the robed man's surge, the double knives of the robed man swung obliquely, unloading all the strength on the halberd, and then the knife rolled up the spiral, and the move of both offense and defense came to Jiang Ming to counterattack, Jiang Ming was shocked, his legs suddenly lowered the pressure, and his body bounced up, forming a scissor-like attack with a sharp arc, stepping on the knife surface with the huge force in the leaf falling into the water, and was able to avoid a blow with the help of the rebound power. Jiang Ming was lucky enough to dodge the attack, and at the same time opened the distance, giving full play to the advantage of the long halberd again, even if the double blades were still fast, they did not completely suppress Jiang Ming as before.
"That's right, my forbidden law is at least a half-step status realm, far beyond ordinary human powerhouses. You can rely on the strength of your weapons and the mastery of your body, and you have more than ten tricks to fight with me, and you are indeed an unpredictable talent. The robed man swung his double sword again, and the more outstanding Jiang Ming was, the more he couldn't leave hidden dangers. His knife can shave hair, quickly cover the flying dust, and break the gold stone, Jiang Ming's superior defense with the help of the long weapon was instantly defeated, and then the blade flashed cold light, straight to Jiang Ming's chest.
Jiang Ming got the help of the predecessors of the night spring in his body, awakened the soul of dying with the sound of thunder, and then lived his life in the slightest, shaped his body and was reborn, watched the essence of martial arts of his predecessors, and had an epiphany of martial arts in the natural silence, so there is now Jiang Ming, a martial artist in the realm of eight people. can use one enemy to four, the long halberd to deter the powerful and talented, kill two people and frighten one person, although he is already a master who is half a born in the world, but now he is a single-handed defeat, and his life is at stake, which is another kind of frustration. But he doesn't know where his life will go after his halberd is shot away?
