Chapter 8: The Will of the Sword
Pictures appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.
There was his childhood wandering, he was hungry and cold in the ruined temple, and he was a kind woman who allowed him to survive that cold winter.
With his past on Guanhai Peak, he was desperately slashing with a knife, and his knife was getting faster and faster, so fast that he could defend against flying stones in the sky.
There was the old man who had set him foot on the martial arts in the first place, and the old man had taught him the Xuan Gong of cultivating true qi and a vast sword technique that he had never cut out.
When the red figure appeared, he felt so painful, looking at her distant back, he wanted to keep her, but there was no reason, no courage.
The last thing that appeared was a pretty face with tears in his eyes, some of the pale cheeks were clearly visible with tears, and those moist eyes were looking at him straight like this, he was flustered when he saw it, he was at a loss to see it, and he wanted to hold her in his arms and shield her from all the wind and rain in this world.
He asked worriedly, "Miss Chu, what's wrong?" and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She was right in front of him, very close, but he couldn't reach it. Gradually, her figure was like a mirage in the fog, a shadow in the water, rippling and disappearing.
"Miss Chu"
"Miss Chu"
......
He was lost, frightened, and anxious to chase after him.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had placed Miss Chu on the bluestone of a hill before, remembered that he blocked her with a horizontal knife, and remembered the ugly face of the black-armored man.
He woke up in an instant and opened his eyes.
Out of the corner of his eye, he jumped to his feet, grabbed her wrist and prevented it from moving, blood flowed from her neck along the blade of the sword, dripping on the white dress, dyeing bright red plum blossoms.
He took the long sword from her hand and looked at the wound on her neck, although it was a little deep, but fortunately he stopped it in time and didn't cut it.
The blood was still flowing from his neck, but he didn't have time to deal with it, he was going to dismantle the black-armored man.
Jiang Chen reached out to wipe away the tears from her face, turned around and walked forward.
Today, if the black-armored man in front of him doesn't die, she can't live.
Chu Ruyue looked at his back, and her mood instantly turned from sadness to joy. In the bottom of my heart, I beg God to bless him and keep him safe. She forgot the pain of the wound for a moment, and let it stain her skin red and her clothes red and white.
Jiang Chen stood with a knife in his right hand, his face was fearless, and there seemed to be unwillingness and anger in his eyes.
Wang Zuo looked at the desolation in front of him, and always felt that he was a little different from before, but he couldn't say what was different.
"You're so cheap that you can still stand up like this. Wang Zuo shook his head and chuckled, "But it's just for me to have an extra sword." ”
Jiang Chen looked at him coldly, put his left hand on the hilt of the knife, frantically operated the true qi in his body, jumped up, and the volley was a slash, the brilliance of the sword was simple and dazzling, and went straight to the top of the black-armored man's head.
Wang Zuo smiled contemptuously, raised his hand and swung a sword towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen looked at the oncoming Zhang Xu sword qi, he knew its power, but he didn't dodge, his eyes were resolute, he swung his sword forward, and chose to hit that sword qi hard.
There was a loud "boom", and he was shocked and flew back.
Jiang Chen endured the surging true qi in his body, held the knife in both hands, and slashed it away again.
Wang Zuo was a little surprised to see that he could still stand this time, and the strength in his hand increased a few points.
Jiang Chen still didn't dodge, and went straight towards the long sword qi, as if there was a cavity of hot blood blocked in his chest, and he needed to release it like this.
"Boom"
The blade and sword qi collided again, and Jiang Chen also flew out upside down again.
"Poof" A mouthful of blood spit out, Jiang Chen endured the severe pain from his body, swung his knife and slashed forward, at this moment, his blood was surging, and he vowed to kill the person with a knife.
Wang Zuo waved his sword to meet him, frowning slightly, he felt that something was not quite right with this desolation, and his body was getting more and more injured, but he was getting braver and braver, and his sword was becoming stronger.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The sound of violent collisions sounded again and again, Jiang Chen flew upside down again and again, and slashed away again and again. The distance of the upside-down flight is getting shorter and shorter, and the swing of the knife is getting more and more fierce.
At this time, Jiang Chen's nose and ears were bleeding from the shock, his five organs were in severe pain, and his meridians were like knives.
But he was still brave, and he felt as if he had touched something, as if it was calling in front of him.
Suddenly, his already firm belief began to waver in doubt.
He thought he knew the knife well, and his knife was fast, so fast that no one else could see its afterimage.
But he felt now that he was wrong, wrong, and the speed he had been pursuing before was only a part of the knife technique, not the whole of the knife, and his knife still lacked a soul.
His heart was beating wildly, as if a vast world was opening up to him.
He swung his sword and collided with the sword qi of the black-armored man again and again, his body was obviously injured and painful, but his blood was surging, and his heart was extremely refreshing.
He had a strong will to fight in his heart, filling his scarred body, giving Ben the strength to fight to the end with tenacity.
He knew that this was the will of the knife.
It is an indomitable courage and domineering.
It is the resoluteness that would rather bend than bend.
It is invincible self-confidence that sweeps everything.
This is his knife.
"Chop" Jiang Chen roared, and another knife slashed at the head, the pale sword gradually became simple and solid, Jiang Chen suddenly had an intuition, now his sword is not weaker than this person's sword qi.
This time, he collided with the sword qi with his sword.
The sound of "boom" true qi colliding was once again reverberated in the air.
But this time, the sword did not collapse, and still stayed in the air to counteract the sword qi, competing against each other.
"Haha" Jiang Chen raised his head happily and laughed, and then slashed at the neck of the black-armored man with a fierce slash.
When Chu Ruyue saw this scene, her brows furrowed slightly, she thought about it for a moment, and suddenly her heart was overjoyed, this is the sword intent, and the sword with the blessing of the sword intent can have such power, and it is not easy to collapse.
Seeing that Jiang Chen comprehended the sword intent, she knew that the situation of their mortality had taken a turn again, and when she thought that he would not die, her heart was even happier than anything else.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
Jiang Chen's knife swung more and more fiercely, faster and faster, his blood was boiling, and that strong will vowed to cut the black-armored man under the knife, and the pale and simple sword light flowed in the air.
Wang Zuo was already a little flustered at this time, the desolate young man in front of him was simply a monster, he had been so seriously injured before, and now not only did he have nothing at all, but his strength had increased greatly, and he became more and more brave the more he fought.
When he saw that Jiang Chen's sword was not inferior to his sword qi, his first reaction was that Jiang Chen had broken through to the Qi Sea Realm.
Because the true qi of the Qi Sea Realm is condensed into liquid, it is much more powerful, and it is not comparable to the true qi of the Qi Condensing Realm at all, just like when his sword encounters his own sword qi before, it always collapses when it touches it.
He was very depressed, and the psychological advantage of his realm suppression was gone, and his limbs were numb and sore from being shocked by this series of uninterrupted hard regrets, and he was already relieved.
"Chop" Jiang Chen jumped up, and a knife went straight down in the air, the speed was extremely fast, and he saw that the knife left an afterimage.
Wang Zuo could only stubbornly raise his sword to block it, and collided and fought again in this savage and rude way to see who couldn't bear it first.
"Bang"
With a loud bang, Wang Zuo was shocked and took a few steps back, he was horrified in his heart, and with his years of combat experience, he told him that now the two of them had changed their control of the situation.
He would have spared his life, otherwise he would not have gone to the border when he enlisted in the army, but would have paid a lot of money to enter the pro-guard army.
He immediately turned and fled, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "You guys together, and we will take him down together." ”
When more than a dozen people heard the order, they immediately rushed towards Jiang Chen with their swords, trying to subdue this desolate youth with the general.
Wang Zuo was overjoyed when he saw that a soldier stepped forward to stop him, and the strength on his feet increased a few points, and he rushed forward alone.
"You go together, whoever kills this guy, I will definitely report to the second prince truthfully, and then I will definitely increase the official and become a knight. As he fled, Wang Zuo ordered the remaining soldiers to come forward and buy him more time.
At the beginning, the dozen or so people rushed forward, and they were going to cooperate with him, but when they saw him slipping away without looking back, they sold them all, and they scolded Wang Zuo's ancestors in their hearts, and they immediately turned around and fled, but it was too late.
Jiang Chen swept with a single sword, and turned all these black-armored soldiers into two.
The remaining soldiers scattered and fled when Wang Zuo left the first dozen or so people, they were already far away, and they fled separately, Jiang Chen did not chase them.
Jiang Chen looked at the black-armored man who fled in front of him, he hated it in his heart, just now, Miss Chu almost committed suicide because of this person, how could he let him go.
The dozen or so soldiers didn't buy Wang Zuo any time, Jiang Chen kicked the ground with his feet, his current true qi was like a martial artist in the Qi Sea Realm, this leap was more than ten zhang, and the speed was much faster than Wang Zuo.
"Chop"
Jiang Chenren was still in mid-air, so he raised his knife with both hands over the top and slashed at Wang Zuo's back.
Wang Zuo sensed the danger behind him, and also turned around and swung his sword away.
"Bang"
The sword qi collided together, and the huge impact was transmitted to the two of them, and Wang Zuo took advantage of this thrust to escape forward a lot, and the distance was opened by dozens of zhang at once.
Wang Zuo was overjoyed, and shouted as he ran: "Leave her alone there?"
When Jiang Chen heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and subconsciously looked back at Chu Ruyue, only to see that she was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and looking at herself, there was no danger.
Seeing the bright red on her body again, her heart became even angrier, and the strength of her whole body exploded at once, and the speed was a few points faster than just now.
caught up with Wang Zuo in a breath, and swung the knife with a slash.
Wang Zuo sensed the danger coming from behind him, turned his head and saw that Jiang Chen was already less than a foot behind him, and he was horrified in his heart, and when he saw that he had already slashed with a knife, he held his sword to resist.
He was already cowardly, and his strength was naturally not as good as usual, plus Jiang Chen's knife was not only brave, but also fast.
His arm was numb just after the shock, and another slash slashed at his neck, and he hurriedly raised his sword to block.
But this knife was too strong, and it was slashed directly along with his sword, landing on both knees, and half of the blade was sunk into his right shoulder.
Compared to the pain in his shoulder, he was even more panicked and frightened, his right hand was useless, and he couldn't use the sword at the moment, how could he resist his knife?
"Heroes spare their lives!" Wang Zuo cried out at a critical moment.
Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to it at this moment, drew his knife and slashed horizontally, and a white light and shadow swept across his neck.
Wang Zuo's eyes were frightened, his face was like ashes, and he was still thinking about the beauties in the family and the little daughter-in-law of the Li family.
Jiang Chen grabbed his hair and carried his head back, blood was still dripping from the neat incision, and his body behind him was even more soaked in blood.
