Chapter 231: Sword Qi
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Almost all mercenaries on the brink of war have a keen intuition to perceive danger, so they can easily discern the source of danger based on experience, and if you are left in such an environment, you can also have this ability, of course, provided that you can survive.
Alcohol is not good, not bad.
Some people like to indulge, and naturally some people dislike and dislike it, just as a thing is always full of two sides.
Drink alcohol in moderation, once excessive, alcohol will have a certain danger to the human body, for example, excessive alcohol will affect people's thinking reactions, and even paralyze your nervous perception.
The one who stopped Xia Lan was a drunken man, he was wearing a rough leather armor made of cowhide, and the leather armor was covered with traces of swords and bows, which looked very old, but it could tell what kind of experience he had had.
Some people say that scars are a man's medal, and for mercenaries, the scars of their armor on the battlefield are their mark of glory.
He held the long sword at his waist in one hand and the wine bottle in the other, his long beard was very ruddy because of the alcohol, his sunken eyes were cloudy, his steps were staggering, and he seemed to be drunk and fall to the ground at any moment.
The mercenaries who noticed the excitement on the side turned their eyes away, and some even whistled, as if they were very happy with the scene in front of them.
"Tsk! Come and see! Old John is starting to bully the new chicks again......"
"Haha... Do you think old John will rip off that kid's pants this time? β
"Indeed, I heard that last time there was a new chick who was cleaned up by Old John and had no clothes, haha......"
"But this time the new chick seems to be a little tricky, do you think Old John will break it?"
"I don't know, why don't I take a gamble with you? I've got 16 Sessinia gold coins here to buy old John to clean up that kid! β
"Hey, hey! Count me as one, I'll buy ......"
The mercenaries who watched the excitement around laughed and coaxed, and even began to gamble against Old John and Xia Lan, for them, alcohol and women, gambling is their biggest hobby!
Although they are outwardly unscrupulous. But everyone knew that the young man who was stopped by Old John was not simple, because they all sensed a strong murderous aura in him!
They are the kind of people who know who to provoke and who not to offend, and I am afraid that only those who are drunk with old John can be so irrational and bold.
"Boy, you're just from Moya Town, right? I think I should tell you some of the rules here......" Old John burped and walked towards Xia Lan in a daze, "Every newcomer who comes here needs to pay homage to the old man here, you know? β
"I don't know."
Xia Lan stopped and looked at the drunk man in front of him expressionlessly.
"At least you know by now. Uncle, me. Now I've taken a fancy to your horse. It's a waste to put such a good horse in your hands, so you just give it to me, and when you go to the battlefield in the future, the uncle may be able to save your life for the sake of your filial piety! β
Old John lifted the flask and took a sip with his head up. Then, he found that the wine in the bottle was empty!
So, he was very angry and smashed the wine bottle at Xia Lan's feet!
"Of course, if you don't want to be filial, I can only rob it, uncle."
As he spoke, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the blade pointed directly at Xia Lan's heart, but because of the influence of alcohol, his hand holding the sword trembled. It looked quite funny, and this appearance immediately caused a burst of laughter from the employees around him!
"Don't laugh! I'll clean you up later. β
After hearing the laughter of the mercenaries around him, Old John was furious, shook his body and pointed his long sword at the mercenaries around him and cursed.
"Old John, if you can beat me with the way you are. Lao Tzu invites you to drink wine for a month! β
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"Who!? Which kid is talking, hurry up and get out of here! Old John exclaimed at once.
"Isn't that kid right in front of you? Haha......"
After saying this from the crowd, the mercenaries burst into laughter again.
"Forget it, I'll settle accounts with people like you in a while, and now I'm going to take my things first, uncle!"
With that, Old John refocused his attention back to Xia Lan.
"Boy, have you thought about it? Do you want to give me the horse honor? β
"Who are you here?"
Xia Lan looked at him and said calmly.
"Uncle, of course I'm the steward here!" Old John laughed.
"Yo! Old John is bragging again, come and see! β
"Old John! When did you become the steward here? Why haven't we heard about this? β
Old John's unashamed words made the mercenaries around him laugh.
"What if I'm just passing through here?" Xia Lan didn't have the slightest noise around her.
"Even so, you have to keep your horse!"
Old John snorted coldly when he heard this.
"What if I say no?" Charland Road.
"Uncle, my baby doesn't have long eyes......
Old John stretched out his tongue and licked the long sword in his hand, his eyes revealing a fierce light.
"Look for death!"
Xia Lan's eyes narrowed, and in an instant, the long sword on his waist drew a cold light.
Before anyone could react, he saw bursts of ripples in the air, and a sword qi visible to the naked eye slashed directly at Old John's chest, Old John didn't make the slightest sound, and his shaking body suddenly froze.
Xia Lan held the reins, and without looking at the other party, she restarted her steps.
After a long time, the mercenaries who were silent around them came back to their senses from their daze, and one of the mercenaries walked up to Old John curiously and boldly, and lightly tapped Old John's long and stiff face with his fingers.
Suddenly, the upper half of Old John's chest fell straight to the ground.
This scene caused an uproar among the mercenaries in an instant!
"Oh my God! What I saw! Sword Qi! That's sword energy! The sword qi that can only be exerted at the peak realm of the upper level, hurry up and give me a slap in the face, let me know that this is not another dream! β
"Smack-"
"Oh my God! It turns out that I really wasn't dreaming...... And also! You kid really dared to hit me just now, Lao Tzu fought with you! β
In the uproar of the crowd, no one knew that there was a pair of eyes hidden in it, staring at the direction where Xia Lan disappeared far away!
Coming to an inn with an open door, Xia Lan handed over the horses to the hotel attendants to take them down, paid more than ten gold coins to settle down, and Xia Lan stayed in the room and began to concentrate on recuperation.
Sword Qi.
This is an exclusive sign of the pinnacle of the top.
And Xia Lan is just a swordsman who is about to break through to the upper middle rank. It stands to reason that he simply can't use this ability.
However, he has a system that is completely unconscionable.
The Battle of Adria is over.
Xia Lan was rewarded by the system, which gave him a new passive skill in addition to being promoted to level 34.
Exhaust the internal gas
A skill derived from the Qi system.
It was precisely because of this skill that he was able to use it to display the sword qi that could only be released at the peak of the upper rank.
Of course, the internal gas discharge is not limited to the attack, in terms of defense, the internal gas discharge can also form an airflow shield to provide a certain defense capability.
Ordinary swords and stabs could not hurt his body under this layer of shield, but the consumption of the airflow shield on the internal body airflow was really too large, and Xia Lan would rarely use it under normal circumstances.
But the sword qi is different. The sword qi itself was condensed in the body before it was released. When the physical condition and the internal airflow reach a suitable resonance. The air flow in the body can be released!
The ability granted by the system is chosen randomly, unlike when the skill tree is opened.
For Xia Lan, the skill of releasing internal qi and releasing it is really a bit of a frustration, although he can release sword qi through guΓ² internal qi and release it to enhance his attack ability. But when he was promoted to the pinnacle of the upper position, the internal qi was released and the external qi was automatically comprehended, which was equivalent to saying that he was only enjoying the ability that he had at the peak of the upper position in advance.
If he had to choose, he would definitely choose a more practical skill, even if it was a random skill in the skill department.
It's a pity that things are set and in vain.
He had no intention of rushing to Ebramrow, the capital of the Earl of Heather, and in the meantime he planned to recuperate and inquire about Pandelia and Winnie by the way. At the end of the day, he had a hard time believing that the two women could make it to Ebraunro.
I opened the rough window, and a cold wind blew in front of me.
Although the sky is clear, it still can't stop the pace of early winter.
The first snow of winter, once the Viscount of Farrant launched a raid war. The entire Earl of Heather's realm will be in great chaos, and at that time, Pandelia and Winnie's situation will be even more dangerous.
Without his protection, how could he expect those two women to survive?
β¦β¦
"Ahh β
"Winnie, you're thinking too muchβ" Pandelia sighed helplessly.
"But speaking of which, no one suspects that we disguise ourselves as mercenaries! Looks like we're quite capable of this. Winnie reached out and touched her delicate face, which had been painted with mud plaster, and glanced at Pandelia, who was dressed in the same man's attire as her.
"I think it has more to do with the gold coins." Pandelia said in a low voice.
Speaking of this, it immediately caused Winnie to wail.
"My gold! Those hateful city guards, I don't know how many gold coins I paid to bribe them along the way! Pandelia! In the future, when you become the queen of Sicinia, you must take care of them! β
"Hehe......" Pandelia smiled bitterly, and looked at the town ahead of her, "We are almost in Cantland, where we need to be more careful with our words and deeds, and know that Cantrant is an important town under the Earl of Heather, and it must be full of many dangers that we cannot foresee." β
"Well, I don't know where Mr. Charan is now! If he had been there, we wouldn't have had so many troubles. Winnie shook her head suddenly.
"Winnie! We have to believe in ourselves, even if His Excellency Xia Lan is not by our side, we can protect ourselves well! β
Pandelia said solemnly, but the hand that tugged on the reins involuntarily let go of the long sword that was at her waist. (To be continued)
