Volume 10 The Dispute between Buddhism and the Way Chapter 15 Fierce Rivals
The night sky is as black as ink, only the sound of the whirring wind, in this silent night, there is not the slightest sound in the small courtyard, only a slight gasp, the man in black with two guns, the bright spot is slightly shining in the night, that is the tip of the double gun. A black suit completely blended him with the night around him, as if he had disappeared into this small courtyard. Opposite him, Li Kuan was holding a long knife in his hand, standing tall, and his black armor was unexpectedly reflecting a trace of light. The dim light came through the gazebo where Yuan Shoucheng was sitting, illuminating the small area around him.
As soon as the word "please ......" fell, Li Kuan turned into a swift lightning bolt and rushed towards the two points of cold light, the whole person pierced the air, and his footsteps made a dull sound on the ground, like a wild beast rushing over at this moment. Because the man in black on the opposite side was a fierce opponent that should not be underestimated, and the clothes he was wearing were too conducive to concealment, and he might lose his trace if he didn't pay attention to it, so Li Kuan had to strike first. He is very confident in his own strength, but it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, if such an enemy hides in the dark and attacks him, Li Kuan does not have the slightest certainty that he can avoid it unscathed. The air was pierced by him with a rapid pace, and the howling wind blew his hair as if it were about to be torn off at the back of his head.
The black-clothed man on the opposite side of "Hum ......" was also not to be outdone, and he greeted him fearlessly, and the bright sword light was like a match, tearing through the dark night; The shining spears are like shooting stars, piercing the cold breeze. The two really started a head-to-head duel this time, the long knife slashed straight down, and a force slashed Huashan in Li Kuan's hand. The momentum is strong and heavy, like the axe light that opened the world. It was as if the entire night sky was lit up. But the cold light like the two meteors on the opposite side also flashed away, directly facing the rapid shining of this knife.
"Ding ......" came out like a morning bell and a dusk drum. The wind around them seemed to stop at this moment, and the two men intersected, rubbing and sparkling sparks, splashing out little by little, leaving deep footprints on the earth under their feet, and a shining thunderbolt flashed by, and the spring rain began to fall.
"Boom ......" dull thunder rolled across the sky, and lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the ancient city. In this small courtyard, two figures tossed and turned, constantly fighting on the lawn in the courtyard, by the flower beds, and even between the treetops. The sound of the clashing of blades came from afar, like a harmonious music in the silent night, Li Kuan was wearing armor, not afraid of the spears on the opposite side like a violent storm, and the long knife in his hand slashed horizontally and vertically. One after another, the sword light shone. The endless spring rain fell down, but it was cut into two pieces by the sword light, and the raindrops hit the knife, and then it was blown into mist by the rapid wind. Fill the air. The man in black saw the move, and his two spears were like two spiritual snakes in his hands, and he bared his fangs from time to time. Bursting out from tricky angles, like antelope hanging horns. It's amazing.
The blade of the long knife sliced a little rain in half. The lower half slipped to the ground, but the upper half quietly disappeared, the blade of the long knife like a mirror, illuminating the twisted figure of lightning in the sky. Li Kuan's footsteps took advantage of the strength on the ground that had become wet and viscous, and the whole person rose up, spinning like a whirlwind in mid-air, and the long knife was actually in this rotation, constantly splitting out, and the snow light was refined into a knife curtain, isolating the inside and outside. Only the snow-white sword light that kept swallowing, constantly attacking, attacking. forced the black-clothed man on the opposite side to retreat, so that he had to repeatedly retreat back a full distance of several zhang before he escaped Li Kuan's attack.
"Double Dragon Capture the Pearl......" The man in black suddenly shouted, and the whole person rushed forward, the spear in his hand stabbed out quickly in the air, and the action of constantly contracting and stabbing out, as if an ingenious artist was starting to create, countless cold rays stretched and contracted in the air, and the trajectory left by the two short guns was so mysterious, as if two winding dragons were cruising in the nine heavens. Then he suddenly swooped down, rushing towards the huge ball formed by the endless sword light on the opposite side.
A loud shout of "...... explosion" came out, and the endless snow and bright training disappeared at this moment, and only hurricanes dispersed in all directions. The long knife in Li Kuan's hand flashed, without the slightest look of fear on his face, and he directly slashed out with a knife, directly taking Huanglong. The long knife trembled, and it came at the two spears on the opposite side. Both of them were so fast, and the speed brought a powerful impact force, and they collided directly with each other like this. Suddenly, both of them couldn't bear the force, and they were knocked backwards.
"Who is making trouble here...... Drop your blade quickly, or you'll be shot on the spot! At this moment, a voice shouted, and on the walls around the house, there were also many shadows. This is the Wuhou who patrols the city, after hearing the abnormal sound here, quickly notified the soldiers defending the city, this will not send countless soldiers to exterminate these two madmen who dare to fight at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The leader of the team is a partial general of the Praetorian Guards guarding the city, this partial general is not an uninformed person, he was originally the current Praetorian Guard Datong Road section Zhixuan's personal guard, and now he has independently taken charge of a team of people, but during the time he was with Duan Zhixuan, he also saw countless battles between the top generals of the Tang Dynasty, that kind of powerful force, it is really surprising. There are really such strong people in the world, although they can't say that they can open mountains and crack rocks, but they are definitely beyond the normal human limits, because he has seen more than once the mutual fight between Lu Guogong Cheng and Chi Gong, the Duke of E, both of which are the top rewards of Datang, and the situation at that time As an ordinary soldier, he couldn't even get close to the two of them within three feet, because the howling wind, as well as the weapons that would kill the generals at any time, were mortal threats to him.
Tonight, these two unknown fighters were still above the original two princes, because even in the dark night, they could see countless snow-bright swords and gun shadows, raging around, and countless trees and flowers were swept into debris around them. So I can only speak out from afar, and I can threaten with arrows. These two people are also a great threat to Chang'an City, the capital of a country, so before that, he had already called someone to inform the commander of the Praetorian Guard, his current boss, and the former old leader - General Duan Zhixuan.
"Someone is coming, although these Praetorian Guards are like ants and don't pose much of a threat, but if they attract those generals from the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid it will be a troublesome matter." The man in black thought about it in his heart, and suddenly retreated, but Li Kuan was pressing forward step by step and did not allow him to escape. The long knife in his hand does not have the slightest discipline, he has not systematically learned the knife technique, but the way of practicing martial arts is a universal way, to their realm, as long as the reaction is fast, no matter what trick is used in their hands, it has great power, not to mention that Li Kuan's reaction speed is beyond the ordinary martial artist, so a long knife not only blocked the attack of the two short spears of the man in black, but also counterattacked very quickly, plus his strong strength, as well as agile speed, and even gained the upper hand.
"Since Your Excellency is so entangled, then, don't blame the old man for fighting a fish and breaking the net!" The black-clothed people were ruthless in their hearts, and immediately gave up all defensive means, the two spears were brandished impermeable, and the snowy tip of the spear stabbed directly at Li Kuan's vital point regardless of his own safety. Li Kuan suddenly understood the other party's plan in his heart, this was exchanging injuries for injuries, and he wanted to fight hard. But would he let the other party's intentions succeed so easily? Obviously not, so Li Kuan's body changed from rapid to quiet in an instant, and he stopped the pace under his feet at once, and the blade in his hand turned and slashed directly at the opponent's hands holding short guns.
"Okay, both of them are the top masters in the world, fighting for their lives like this, if there is a mistake, it will be irreparable to make a mistake, how about stopping now?" Yuan Shoucheng only spoke up at this time. It's not that he doesn't want to stop it in advance, but it's useless what he said before, these two people Li Kuan is fearless, anyway, in this Chang'an City, no one can make him back down, unless Li Er comes out of the palace. And the man in black is even more so, he is not a subject of Datang, but has countless resentments against Datang in his heart, fighting in Chang'an, the capital of Datang, no matter how much trouble there is, no matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with him, he just needs to ensure that he retreats with his whole body. Many of the people who died were the people of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and he wished he could die more!
"Why, is it true that the National Teacher has some connection with this person of unknown origin?" Li Kuan's subordinates kept moving, but they questioned Yuan Shoucheng, this old Taoist priest also has a lot of secrets, and as a national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, in the previous conversation with this man in black, he was obviously not just an ordinary Taoist priest, and there was a deep conspiracy in it.
"What does His Royal Highness the King of Chu say, this person is indeed an old friend of Lao Dao, but what he does has little to do with Lao Dao, because as an outsider, he doesn't care so much about the general trend of the world, and besides, today's saint can be described as eloquent, Lao Dao is not a stupid and ignorant person, he knows what choice to make!" Yuan Shoucheng said calmly, he didn't care who was sitting in this world. As long as the Taoism he cares about can be passed on calmly, and the Taoism will not be extinguished, he will be satisfied.
"Then why is the National Teacher here late at night plotting with this person? If it weren't for the fact that this king happened to meet tonight, I'm afraid the national teacher himself wouldn't know what to say or do! Li Kuan stared at Yuan Shoucheng with burning eyes, this old Taoist priest is not a fuel-efficient person, if the promise made by the man in black is enough to impress him, it is impossible to say that this Tang Dynasty will be betrayed by him. Taoism's forgetfulness, this old Taoist priest is deeply aware of the three flavors, and now except for the development of Taoism and Yuan Tiangang, this old Taoist priest doesn't care about anything. (To be continued......)
PS: I wish you all a happy National Day, it was supposed to be sent at 12 noon, but I went out for a drink with a few friends last night, and there was no code word at night, and there was a power outage this morning, which caught the otaku off guard, and finally rushed out of a chapter at 16 o'clock, late! I'm sorry!
