Chapter 315: The Final Blow
A cold light slashed down from mid-air, the sharp blade broke through the air, and let out a piercing roar, although it was drowned in the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of rolling horses' hooves, but the sandalwood locust still keenly captured the murderous aura in it. He stopped abruptly, tilted his head slightly, and looked up out of the corner of his eye.
A large sword with a long handle slashed down in the air.
Tanshi Huai's brows shrugged slightly, but there was a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu finally made a move, he jumped down from the high command platform and delivered a powerful blow. Tan Shihuai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave up Mrs. Lu, who was only one step away from him, and turned to greet Liu Xiu.
His left hand circled around his chest, rolled upside down, slapped the blade of the sword with his palm, and lifted the sword upside down in his right hand, and pushed it up from his left ribs.
He slashed and killed for most of the day, and the war knife had already been rolled up, but this rolled war knife carried the sound of wind and thunder, and no one would deny that if Liu Xiu was hit by his knife, even if he would not be split into two pieces, it was inevitable to break a few bones.
Attacking and defending, defending and counterattacking at the same time, Tanshi Huai completely interprets the subtlety of Xuanwu with his actions. Xu Yu, Mrs. Lu, and Wang Zhi all widened their eyes in horror when they saw everything that was about to happen, and rushed over desperately, but unfortunately it was too late.
Tan Shihuai's left hand slapped on the horse sword, and the big sword that fell in the air was slapped out of direction by him and flew out horizontally, while the war knife in his right hand had already slashed towards Liu Xiu's chest and abdomen.
"My lordβ"
In the exclamation, Liu Xiu kicked his legs in a line in mid-air, one leg hooked on the railing of the command car, and the other foot kicked towards Tan Shi Huai's right hand, at the same time, he let go of the horse sword that was slapped by Tan Shi Huai, and his right hand swept in front of Tan Shi Huai.
Tanshi Huai changed color in shock, and when his left hand slapped the horse slashing sword, he noticed something different, and the amazing horse slashing sword did not have the strength it should have, as if it was not held tightly by Liu Xiu in his hand, but just thrown down by him from a distance. Between the lightning and flint, he found that a cold light suddenly appeared under Liu Xiu's right wrist.
Tanshi Huai instinctively leaned back, letting go of Liu Xiu's hidden blow at an incredible speed. The short knife swept past the tip of his nose, and the tip of his nose was cold, and a drop of blood flew in the air with the short knife.
Tan Shihuai raised his leg and bent his knees, knees, kicks, and fired back at Liu Xiu when his body was out of balance.
Liu Xiu's left palm accurately slapped on Tan Shihuai's leg, kicking this force and jumping back to the command car. Tan Shihuai also took two steps back with his strength, regained his footing, bowed forward and arrowed back, the war knife was tightly attached to his right leg, and his left hand was protected in front of his chest, staring coldly at Liu Xiu on the command vehicle.
The sword that was slapped by him fell to the ground with a "dang".
Liu Xiu stood on the command car, the short knife shook a knife flower in his hand, he glanced at Tanshi Huai, and suddenly smiled: "You know Qingniujiao, you must also know this knife?" β
Tanshi Huai didn't say a word, slowly put away his momentum, held the knife with both hands, and exhaled softly. There were no soldiers from the Xuanwu Battalion by his side, but the tiger warriors who surrounded him were forced by his might, and they just stared at him, but they didn't dare to step forward easily.
Xu Yu was about to step forward, but Liu Xiu stopped him: "Zhongkang, you rest and rest." β
Xu Yu heard Liu Xiu's composure and calmness from Liu Xiu's voice, didn't say anything, and took a step back.
"Do you still want to fight?" Liu Xiu crouched on the railing and looked at Tanshi Huai with a smile: "Kneel down and surrender now, and you can still leave a surname." β
"You're not crazy, are you?" A smile finally fell on Tanshi Huai's face, full of sarcasm: "If I want to leave, can you stop it?" β
"Hehehe......" Liu Xiu laughed, he played with the short knife in his hand, and looked at Tanshi Huai with a playful look: "Do you still want to say that you are now considering whether to take my head and avenge Huai Zong?" β
The corners of Tanshi Huai's eyes twitched, and he snorted.
"If you were qualified to say this half a day ago, now ......" Liu Xiu stretched out a finger and shook it: "You don't have this strength." We Han people have a saying, as soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. I've fought with you, and your current situation can't be hidden from others, not from me. β
"Hmph, yes, I'm really tired and tired now, but it's easy to kill you." Tan Shihuai stood up straight, stretched out the war knife in his hand, walked to the side of the horse sword, slowly bent down, picked up the horse sword, held the sword in his left hand, and gently swept over the blade with his right hand and fingers, he didn't look at Liu Xiu, not even at anyone, all his mind seemed to be on the sword, and his voice was cold and piercing. "My realm is the roar of the tiger, and you haven't even stepped into the door of the lion's roar, what qualifications do you have to fight me? This woman would have had a chance, but unfortunately, she had just stepped into the tiger's roar and had not yet mastered it, otherwise she would be a fierce rival. β
"Tiger roar?" Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and actually laughed, he beckoned to Tanshi Huai: "Come, let me hear it again, as long as you can roar, I will let you go." β
Tanshi Huai froze for a moment, and swept his eyes towards Liu Xiu, his eyes were full of murder.
"Don't come this time, Lao Tzu is not scared." Liu Xiu put away his smile, and his face turned cold: "You can let out a tiger roar, but you have fired three times in a row just now, and each time it is more and more fierce, I want to know if you can break the habit of not doing more than three." β
Tan Shi Huai's face became ugly, he stared at Liu Xiu, his palm slowly slid on the hilt of the sword, and his fingers were clenched one after another.
"Since you entered the battle, a total of seventy-five tigers have been killed." Liu Xiu took out three residual incense sticks from the railing and slowly twisted them: "The first incense, you killed forty-three people, the second incense, you killed twenty-one people, and the third incense, you only killed eleven people." He let go of his hand, threw the three residual incense sticks on the ground, and glanced at the sandalwood locust, murderous: "You have exceeded my estimate, but you are also weaker than I expected now." You fought Chung Kang twice, the first time you fought him off in the second round, and the second time you took five rounds and landed two punches on him. You fought with Mrs. Lu, the first time you hurt her with just a tiger roar, but the second time you moved your fists and feet, and you didn't even catch the green horns in front of your eyes. He waved his short knife: "If you can still make a tiger roar, why stand still there, come on, try to roar again." β
Tanshi Huai's face was pale, and his eyes were a little flustered. He didn't expect Liu Xiu to see his every move so clearly. Although he didn't count it, he also knew that the numbers Liu Xiu said basically wouldn't have much error. He had been fighting hard for a long time, and now he was exhausted, and he wanted to sit on the ground, hungry and thirsty, drink a sip of water, eat two pieces of meat, and rest well. If it weren't for the serious lack of physical strength, how could he let Liu Xiu escape from the palm of his hand just now.
"You've already been defeated, so why should you bring shame on yourself?" Liu Xiu continued to say unhurriedly: "Look back, the annihilation of your Xuanwu battalion is a foregone conclusion, and there are more than two hundred tiger warriors by your side, and I won't tell you, there are five hundred knights who know Taoism behind me." I didn't underestimate you, and I prepared for the worst in order to catch you. But I have to say, you disappointed me. β
He pointed to Tanshi Huai, and shook his head hatefully: "If you hadn't broken through the battle in person, I basically didn't catch you, but now, you are surrounded by yourself, and the Xuanwu battalion that crisscrosses the grassland has no soul, just like a snake without a head, what can they expect except for the fate of the annihilation of the whole army?" β
"You're just a puppet." Liu Xiu stretched out a finger and pointed at Tanshi Huai: "A person like you seems to be invincible in the world, but in fact he is just a child who doesn't grow up." Do you think that thirty years ago, you rode alone and hunted down a dozen horse thieves? Do you think that with 3,000 Xuanwu battalions, you will be able to dominate the world? You've been invincible, not because you're really invincible, but because you've never met a straight opponent. β
Sweat oozed from the tip of the sandalwood locust's nose, seeping into the wound, and the stinging pain made him grin involuntarily. He became inexplicably annoyed, feeling that if he listened to it again, he would definitely collapse, and without Liu Xiu's hands, he would be defeated. He didn't want to listen to it anymore, he didn't want to hear a word, he roared angrily, stepped forward, and the sword cut half a circle in his hand, and slashed down in the air with a fierce momentum.
Liu Xiu shouted, flew up and kicked on the railing, and a piece of wood with the thickness of his arm was kicked off by him, swirling, and flew straight towards the sandalwood acacia. Tanshi Huai couldn't avoid it, so he had to forcibly restrain his steps and slash down with a sword. There was a soft snort, and the wood was cut in two by the sword. Immediately after, Liu Xiu swooped down in the air with another horse-chopping sword in his hand, and the horse-chopping sword slashed towards Tanshi Huai with violent power.
Tanshi Huai had no choice but to take a sword to meet him.
"Dangdang!" With a series of violent sounds, Liu Xiu slashed out seven swords in one breath and took seven steps forward. Tan Shihuai gritted his teeth, his eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Xiu, his hands trembled, and he caught Liu Xiu's attacks one by one, and with each sword, he took a step back to dissipate the power contained in Liu Xiu's sword. Liu Xiu slashed seven swords, and he took seven steps back.
With a "click", the two swords couldn't resist their strength, and broke from them, and the broken sword head flew out. Liu Xiu let out a long roar and swept across with a half-truncated sword. Sandalwood raised the hilt of his sword to greet him. With a "boom" sound, the hilts of two swords made of hardwood wrapped in bamboo cracked, and one by one the bamboo pieces swept on the body and face of the sandalwood locust. Tanshi Huai felt a tingling pain in his face, roared wildly, and fought back.
Liu Xiu retreated in a flash, and as soon as he retreated, he took seven steps, until he retreated to the front of the command vehicle, and took the spear from Zhang Fei's hand, his arms shook, and the spearhead buzzed, pointing directly at the sandalwood locust seven steps away.
Tanshi Huai held his breath, held a severed handle in each hand, and slowly turned around, his originally pale face turned blood-red.
"...... you" Tanshi Huai's eyes widened, the green tendons on his forehead and neck burst out, and his hands were clenched tightly, and he pinched the hilt of the sword alive. You...... Blackmail. β
As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody arrow flew out of his throat, and he shook it twice and took a step forward. Liu Xiu didn't say a word, he ran with a spear, and the spear stabbed out, right in the chest of Tanshi Huai, and the sharp spearhead pierced from the front chest and stabbed out from the back.
Tanshi Huai didn't dodge, he pounced forward again, letting the spear pass through his body, he roared, threw the broken handle in his hand, grabbed Liu Xiu's spear-holding arm with his left hand, dragged him in front of him, waved his right hand, and slapped down on the top of Liu Xiu's head.
Liu Xiu was shocked, he pulled out and wanted to retreat, his right arm was held by Tanshi Huai, he couldn't break free, in desperation, he had to bend his left arm to block the top of his head, and at the same time raised his right leg and kicked at Tanshi Huai's lower abdomen.
With a "snap", Liu Xiu only felt a sharp pain in his left arm, and then the Venus in front of him rose straight up, as if he had been hit by a bison, and fell sideways, everything quickly left him, and only that roar was left between heaven and earth.
And the wild laughter of the sandalwood locust!
