Chapter 85 Success or Failure, Ask Who Determines the Remnant Sun Alone Reflects the Blood and Fire Pass (I)
(Yesterday's three watches, what time is today?) The first update. )
In a man's life, he will inevitably be obsessed with two things, the knife and the power.
The former is blood-pumping, and the latter is crazy enough.
Fortunately, in this turbulent world, if you hold the former tightly, you will have the opportunity to hold the latter.
Li Congjing is the lucky one who crossed into this world, starting from nothing, because of the contrast and gap, so he cherishes these things even more. The right way to cherish it is to have enough power to protect it, not only with an army, but also with personal force.
Since 12 years ago, Li Congjing has never slackened his pursuit of personal force. In the past twelve years, by virtue of this, he has become Li Cunqing's personal guard, and has been appreciated by Li Cunqing, with this, he killed Zhang Lang and was able to build an army in Qimen, with this, he survived countless battles intact.
The horizontal knife in the hand is where the strength lies; Hold the horizontal sword, and you hold the power; With strength, he has enough confidence to face all difficulties and challenges, and can stand up to the enemy at any time.
On the battlefield, for Li Congjing, there is no difference between thousands of troops and horses. In this life, he has a path to take, because his dream is far away, because he has to come into contact with many forces, he is destined to experience countless battles, on the battlefield, outside the battlefield, imaginable, and unpredictable...... As a warrior, no matter what kind of opponent you face, when the battle comes, you can only draw your sword and fight.
Facing the sword that defeated Ding Hei and the fifth, and the sword momentum had climbed to the peak, Li Congjing jumped up from the horse, slashed horizontally, and faced the sword that came from the air, and the sword greeted each other!
Li Congjing's handsome and resolute face, and Jianzi's soft and heroic eyebrows were close in an instant, and between a stab and a wave, the two of them parted at a moment's notice, and each retreated backwards, falling to the ground one after another.
Jianzi's face, which did not distinguish between male and female, finally had a trace of fluctuation at this point, and from his surprised eyes, you could glimpse the shocked color in his heart. As far as he was concerned, the sword that he had originally intended to win because of the strength of the sword was returned in vain, which was greatly unexpected.
Although the sword used its strength to defeat Ding Hei and the fifth, and cultivated the sword momentum, this is the method of accumulating strength in motion, but Li Congjing did not move half a point from beginning to end, and the horizontal knife was ready to be launched in the scabbard for a long time. This time, the two were evenly divided.
Even so, it can still be seen from Jianzi's reaction that Li Congjing's combat power is beyond his previous prediction.
In Jianzi's cognition, including the information given to him by Yelu Deguang, Li Congjing is just a brave and good general, if he says that his martial arts are extraordinary, it is limited to the army, how can he be comparable to the top swordsmen in the rivers and lakes? What's more, he is from the century-old sword sect and is a sword? It is precisely because of this understanding that Jianzi will take Li Congjing with a single sword.
Now, however, Kenko knew, that hope had been dashed. Li Congjing's martial arts cultivation is obviously much higher than the prediction in advance.
But that's about it.
After landing, both Li Congjing and Jianzi all exerted their strength at the same time and rushed towards each other again. This time. The two did not meet and parted immediately, but fought in one place. This also means that the difference in strength between the two is not large, and the sword cannot repel Li Congjing like the previous three swords, and the sword shook Ding Hei.
The battle between Li Congjing's guards and Jianzi's men has also entered a white-hot stage, and the strength of the two sides seems to be between the two sides at first, with casualties.
A moment later, Li Congjing and Jianzi separated again, and this time, the two stood facing each other a few steps apart. On Li Congjing's shoulder, an inconspicuous opening was torn open in the brocade robe, and blood flowed out of it, staining a piece of the garment. And the sword opposite him, blood also flowed from his left arm.
Jianzi, who was silent to everyone, took the initiative to speak at this time, he looked at Li Congjing, and said slowly: "Since I entered the mountain gate and practiced swordsmanship, except for a few elders in the gate, no one has been able to hurt me for nearly ten years, I have almost forgotten what bloodshed is all about, you are the first person in ten years." Can you tell me who you studied with? ”
Li Congjing didn't know that Jianzi's words were close to the sum of his words in the ten days after he left the mountain, he smiled slightly, and said with a graceful bearing: "Unlike you, since I have practiced martial arts, I have been injured every year, and I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and I often bleed. As for who to learn from, of course, there were martial artists in the beginning, but their names were just ordinary, and in the years that followed, when it came to the source of the art of killing, I can only tell you that it came from my enemies. ”
Jianzi nodded silently, and accepted Li Congjing's explanation seriously, his calm and waveless eyes showed a look of recognition for a strong opponent, which may be normal for others, but for him, it was the first time in many years. The long sword pointed obliquely at the ground to Li Congjing, and the sword said solemnly: "You are an opponent worthy of going all out, if on weekdays, I am willing to sit and discuss with you, get up and fight, but today, here, there is only life and death between you and me." I'm sorry! ”
Li Congjing smiled dumbly, the horizontal knife in his hand did not move for half a minute, but said, "I accept your challenge!" ”
The words fell, and his figure jumped out again.
Over the years, he has fought more battles on the battlefield, and Li Congjing has already developed a decisive temperament, and in the face of enemies and opponents, he doesn't like to talk much, he wants to divide life and death, and he can do it.
Jianzi's eyebrows sank slightly, and he also swung his sword and rushed out.
The two fought again on the road.
The road is not narrow, but it does not allow the two to walk in the opposite direction, for each other, the other party is an obstacle in the way ahead, to continue to follow their own path, you must first let the other party have no way to go.
The sun overhead has set in the west, and the sun gradually loses its original blazing intensity and becomes mild. However, the people who are fighting on the road are more and more aware of the fierceness of the temperature.
Li Congjing's guards, the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department and the 100 soldiers of the 100 battle army, tasted the taste of defeat for the first time. Those disciples from the Sword Sect on a high mountain in the distance, with their unpredictable sword styles and sword formations, combined with the tacit understanding, the guards were defeated.
There were more corpses on the road.
The circle of movement of the guards became smaller and smaller, and in the end, they could only barely protect Li Congjing in the middle.
Li Congjing and Jianzi separated again, and when they stopped in fear of each other, both of them were covered in bruises. Blood droplets flowed down their bodies and gathered at their feet, forming a pool of blood.
"Marshal, withdraw, I'll cut off the queen for you!" The fifth girl came over with a double blade to support Li Congjing, and said with a resolute expression.
Li Congjing shook his head.
If you can withdraw, why wait until now?
The strength of the sword is enough to keep everyone!
"Marshal...... "What else does the fifth girl want to say."
In the eye with the fifth girl's shining eyes, Li Congjing gently wiped the blood from her face for her. However, when Li Congjing's hand left the other party's delicate face, because his hands were already full of blood, he made the fifth flower face. Seeing the appearance of the fifth, Li Congjing was still in the mood to laugh.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him and on her face.
"It's not always a pleasure to fight alongside me, is it?" Li Congjing's smile was still warm and mellow, and he never lost a trace of warmth.
"No, it's not like that!" The fifth shook her head fiercely, and she didn't know where the courage came from, she threw herself into Li Congjing's arms, hugged the man she had been looking up to, and whispered firmly: "I can fight with you, even if I experience failure, I am willing!" ”
The strong enemy was in front, but Li Congjing didn't push the fifth girl away, he stroked her little head leaning on his chest, and didn't say anything.
The battle in the field came to a tacit stop, and the guards gathered around Li Congjing, confronting the disciples of the Sword Sect, preparing for the last wave of fighting. Jianzi looked at Li Congjing, who was still calm at the moment, and the scene of the two of them relying on each other in front of him made him have a hint of indescribable meaning in his eyebrows, which made him not continue to wave the long sword in his hand for a while.
"Jianzi ......" Wen Hua walked to Jianzi's side and softly reminded him that it was time to make a move.
Jianzi's long sword was as steady as Mount Tai, clearly conveying that he had no intention of continuing the attack immediately, and he ignored Wen Hua's reminder.
What did he see from Li Congjing and the fifth?
In this chaotic world, who are the people who can't help themselves in it, with the insignificant power remaining in their hands, are all obsessively guarding each other?
Kenko's hesitation didn't change anything, because the arrival of some people broke the brief and subtle tranquility in front of him.
Jerod light.
He swept over the field with two hundred horsemen under his command, and surrounded them all.
"Li Congjing, don't come unharmed." Yelu Deguang came over and saluted Li Congjing from afar in the way that Khitan greetings his friends.
The fifth girl straightened up again, clenched her twin blades, and stared at Yerod's light, her eyes full of murderous intent.
Li Congjing smiled undiminished and said, "Yelu Deguang, you still appeared." ”
"Why not?" Yelu Deguang stretched out his hand and shrugged his shoulders easily, "The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits, and when it is time for the fisherman to collect the net, the fisherman will naturally appear." ”
After that, he looked at Jianzi and said sincerely: "Your strength is really amazing, if it weren't for you, even if this king ambushed all the two hundred horsemen here, he couldn't stop Li Congjing, and he would not be able to kill him, and your contribution to the Great Khitan, this king will remember it." ”
Jianzi said lightly: "Your Highness only needs to remember the original promise." ”
"That's natural, the Great Khitan Kingdom has always kept its promises, and this king is especially so!" Jerod laughed.
Li Congjing, who was humiliated by Yelu Deguang with intentional neglect, said with a smile: "Yelu Deguang, you seem to have forgotten something. ”
"Yes, Li Congjing, this king has indeed forgotten something!" Yelu Deguang looked at Li Congjing with a little exaggeratedness, and said with a sense of raising his eyebrows: "Before rewarding meritorious deeds, this king should first take that great credit." ”
Li Congjing was not angry or sad, but said lightly: "Do you really think that you can pocket my head?" ”
"Isn't it?" Yelu Deguang looked left and right, and asked the people around him with exaggerated movements, in order to express the extreme pleasure in his heart at this moment, and finally stared at Li Congjing, and said word by word: "Li Congjing, you are already at the end of the strong crossbow, even if the sword can't kill you, the two hundred horses brought by this king are enough to drown you." ”
Li Congjing smiled, "Are there too many people bullying less?" ”
"Why not?" Yelu Deguang asked rhetorically, and then raised his head slightly, "Now that this king is the one who controls the overall situation, how to end this scene is naturally up to this king!" ”
Li Congjing didn't have the slightest intention of being afraid, but gently pulled the fifth girl who couldn't help it and wanted to step forward to fight with Yelu Deguang.
Yelu Deguang deliberately jumped back and said to the fifth girl jokingly: "What's the matter, little girl, are you going to fight this king?" Haha......"
After laughing, Yelu Deguang waved his hand boringly, "Okay, Li Congjing, this king is not a person who gets carried away, now, it's time for you to present your head!" With that, he ordered his men to rush up.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a shout rang out outside the circle.
A sturdy figure galloped over, and after a few jumps, it finally crossed the head of the cavalry and landed directly into the field, landing steadily between Li Congjing and Yelu Deguang.
"It's not easy to finally catch up!" The person who came wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his heart palpitated, "It's so dangerous, I almost didn't catch up." ”
In the surprised gaze of everyone, the person who came calmed his breath, and saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, he was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand to the surroundings, "Sorry to disturb you." After speaking, he put on an extremely serious expression, looked at Li Congjing and Yelu Deguang very seriously, and asked: "Which of you is a person who was born strong and has always been on the mountain, and who is the one who has gone through twists and turns and hardships in his life, but can still stand up straight?" ”
His expression was extremely solemn, as if he was asking the most sacred question in the world, but his question was really confusing, which made the scene extremely ridiculous.
The person who is in control of the overall situation, the most hates uninvited guests outside the control, Yelud with a dark face, and asked the young man who was still completely forgetful in the shadow of the sword and sword, "Boy, who are you?" ”
"Me?" Seeing Yelu Deguang asking, the young man straightened his robe, stood up straight, and said in a solemn tone no less than the previous question: "Wang Pu, Wang Wenbo!" ”
