Chapter 259: Your Life Is Like a Candle in the Wind
Wolf Prison Dock.
On the continuous water village that crisscrosses the lake, the moonlight and the firelight reflect each other, and the entire ship yard is quiet, only the footsteps of the sentry sergeant patrolling, as quiet as a mountain flood that is about to erupt.
In the training ground built on the water, a figure is practicing swordsmanship on a single-plank bridge.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Wolf Prison Dock, the 'single-plank bridge exercise' was a necessary test for the official sergeants of the Heyang Army, because the main strategic enemy of the Heyang Army was the sea barbarians who invaded the sea ships, and when fighting with the sea barbarians on the sea ships, the balance of the body was the top priority, and only the sergeants who could pass the 'single wooden bridge exercises' were qualified to board the ship.
However, with the establishment of the three major defense lines in the Chenfeng District, almost all of the main forces of the Haiman were attracted by the Chenfeng District, resulting in a great reduction in the pressure on the side of the Heyang Army. In addition, the sea trade routes are stable year by year, the Heyang military ships are strong, and the battle between the sides is pitiful, and unless it is required by the Silver Blood Society, the Heyang army will not escort merchant ships.
Therefore, the 'single-plank bridge martial arts' has changed from a compulsory course to an elective course, and even a hobby course, after all, this technique is only suitable for broadside combat, and there is no need to learn it at all.
It's like a fish in the sea that doesn't learn how to flap its wings.
Unless.
It also wants to fly.
Zheng ββ!
The sword roared in the wind, and the footsteps followed the light. The speed at which he swung his sword was not fast, but every move brought out endless afterimages, and the moonlight wrapped the shirtless swordsman like flowing water, making it impossible to tell where his sword was slashing, as if there were sword momentum in all directions, and his figure could hardly be reflected on the surface of the water.
Occasionally, sergeants pass by and peek in, and the first glance they feel like a dream, the second glance is a splitting headache. The more closely I looked at the light and shadow, the more I felt my brain trembling, and only by closing my eyes and leaving could I suppress my churning gastric juice.
Just as he stabbed forward.
Suddenly.
The sword flew out.
It's like a beginner who has just picked up a sword, and because he didn't hold the sword steadily, he just threw the sword out.
He didn't hesitate in the slightest surprise, his hands instantly changed to the posture of hugging Dan and holding the bird, and he stepped back to meet the moon-white long stick that quietly stabbed out.
He was obviously standing on a single-plank bridge with no room for evasion, but by grabbing the moon-white long stick and moving forward, he pulled the attacker directly over, and his left leg kicked and slashed at the attacker's waist at high speed like a knife, and the sharp light explosion showed that if this kick was hit, it would be able to say goodbye to the happiness of the lower body and the second half of his life completely!
Clang!
The attacker raised his knee to block the kick, shook the stick with both hands and pulled it back at the same time, trying to directly knock the sword who grabbed the stick off the single-plank bridge!
However, the swordsman directly let go of his hand at this time, allowing him to take back the stick, and at the same time stomped on the attacker's right foot!
The pain made Yin Guyue gasp.
He looked at Lan Yan who was close in front of him, and hurriedly shouted, "I don't-"
"You still can't forget the Assassin's play."
Poof!
Lan Yan slapped Yin Guyue into the water, and said lightly: "The Liaoyuan Warfare Technique will not let people get within two steps of themselves. β
Yin Guyue climbed ashore wet, sighing, "I thought you would at least panic if you didn't have a weapon......"
"I panicked, but you didn't take the opportunity." Lan Yan walked to the side and picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, the muscles of his upper body shone in the moonlight, and the hideous scar on his waist was extremely abrupt: "If I were you, I would directly attack the lower plate, or even directly interrupt the single-plank bridge; If someone grabs a weapon, then just give up hand-to-hand combat, and must not be led by the nose by the other party. β
"But the problem is that General, your Liaoyuan Burning Tactics is also stronger than mine, if you get the mountain moving stick, then I can only wait to be killed?" Yin Guyue seemed to be complaining and afraid of sycophants, and tied up her long soaked hair: "According to me, the mountain moving stick should be used by you as a general, it doesn't match me......"
"No, I think it's just right for you." Lan Yan sat on the railing and said with a smile: "The powerful execution of the mountain moving stick complements your out-of-the-box thinking. β
"But I haven't practiced much before......
"Then let's start practicing now."
"But I can't compare to those who have been practicing since my mother's womb."
"There are mountains outside the mountain, every mountain is born by father and mother, flesh and bones, all babble, everyone's starting point is how to stand up and walk, you think you can't practice the first in the world, don't practice, but others are competing to be the second in the world." Lan Yan said: "The ghosts and gods are outside the Liuhe, and the people who walk in the world are mortals, why don't you dare to believe that your spear can be indestructible?" β
"The ghosts and gods are all outside the Liuhe?" Yin Guyue glanced at him: "I don't believe ...... very much"
"And I can't find anyone else to take charge of the mountain moving stick," Lan Yan twisted the water bag to drink: "Anyway, I'm not interested, and I can't waste it, so you can only use it." β
Yin Guyue was shocked: "Why?" This is a divine soldier, although it is a divine soldier, but it is also a divine soldier! β
In order to obtain this extreme divine weapon, they defeated the Heyang army head-on, and even went to the water to chase and kill the Heyang army's governor Gai Shiwen before finally snatching it back.
Originally, everyone thought that Lan Yan would use it for himself, but he didn't expect him to give it to Yin Guyue casually.
Lan Yan shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's anything bad about the Mountain Moving Stick, on the contrary, I think it's very outstanding." In the hands of Geswen, it is definitely a waste. β
"I just don't want to rely on this unreliable external force."
Yin Guyue felt incredible: "Unreliable? β
"Just like the classification of divine soldiers, the ultimate divine soldiers, beyond fantasy, conquer desperate situations." Lan Yan looked at the calm water surface and said, "In addition to the almost omnipotent, subversive Absolute God Soldiers, the uses of the Phantom God Soldiers and the Extreme God Soldiers are becoming more and more specific, and only in the hands of exclusive talents can they exert their greatest uses. β
"Like a veil of strife, like a hill mover."
"A sword warrior with a veil of strife, and a warrior with a mountain-moving stick, can create a special environment that allows him to kill with one blow, and he is almost invincible, don't you think so too?"
Yin Guyue nodded.
Needless to say, the Hidden Sword Assassin has a veil of strife, and the effect of the Moving Stick, the "invisible thrust", is even more powerful to the Burning Plains Warrior.
"Invisible Thrust", by draining the holder's mental power, can cause the entire target to receive a specific direction of thrust in an instant, and can move up to 10 paces away. The simplest way to use it is to add a spear head to the mountain moving stick, and then let the enemy push it towards him, directly knocking him to death on the spear head.
For oneself, it can be used to chase and escape, or even move in the air;
For the enemy, it can be used to pull, obstruct or even trap and kill;
When used on items, you can directly disarm the enemy's weapon, just like Yin Guyue just made Lan Yan's long sword fly away.
The origin of the name of the mountain moving stick is that it is said that someone can use this pole weapon to directly push the mountains - although it sounds ridiculous, it is theoretically possible.
Although Yin Guyue has many complaints, he also loves the mountain moving stick - because it is so easy to use.
The Liaoyuan Warfare is undoubtedly the most suitable tactic for moving mountain sticks, and the ten-step distance is not long or short, and it can just be covered with a spear; And the warriors of Liaoyuan are often fierce generals on the battlefield, and this kind of divine soldier who integrates attack and defense can also shine on the battlefield.
So even if someone thinks that Lan Yan is a reward for his kindness, Yin Guyue can't understand it - not to mention that Lan Yan knows that he is the grass on the wall that sees the wind and makes the rudder, but if Lan Yan really wants a divine weapon, he will get it even if he tries everything he can, so he won't let it out.
There is only one possibility, and that is that Lan Yan really doesn't want it.
"But if I have a divine weapon in my hand, but I am caught in the silent darkness of the veil of strife, or if my divine weapon is pushed away by you first, then am I not useless?" Lan Yan spread his hands: "The divine soldier is powerful, but relying on the divine soldier is like putting all the bets on one choice, once it is recognized, then it can only be lost with the divine soldier's life." β
Yin Guyue asked, "Then what if someone else has a divine weapon and you don't, then what should you do?" β
Lan Yan just looked at him calmly, and Yin Guyue blinked, only to realize that he himself was the best example - he couldn't win a battle with a sneak attack with divine weapons, it was really embarrassing.
In fact, he had tried to push Lan Yan out of the single-plank bridge directly, but the 'invisible thrust' was a momentary force, and the moment Lan Yan was pushed, he directly hooked the single-plank bridge with his toes, exerting a reverse force on himself, directly and completely canceling it, so angry that Yin Guyue wanted to interrupt the mountain-moving stick.
In fact, normal people will try to resist when they are suddenly pushed, but it can only weaken the difference of several percent of the thrust. Ordinary sergeants can weaken one or two layers, and better ones can weaken four or five layers, Lan Yan is just outrageous like a beast.
"Before I fight, I'm going to be ready. The time, place, people, and enemy physical strength, intelligence, battle records, and even living habits ......" Lan Yan said calmly: "On the premise of having the certainty of victory, I will fight." β
"What if the other party suddenly pulls out a hole card that you've never seen before and crushes you?" Silver Gong Jing Gu Yue asked.
Lan Yan: "That's my time, my life." That's why I'm handing you over the mountain moving sticks. β
Yin Guyue blinked, and instantly comprehended Lan Yan's intentions - he would become Lan Yan's door god in the future, and if he wanted to fight Lan Yan, he had to blow him up first.
Even if the enemy really has any hole cards, the first to enjoy it is probably Yin Guyue.
Thinking about it this way, Lan Yan's divine soldier is indescribably wonderful!
Strengthened the strength of Yin Guyue, increased the difficulty of the enemy's challenge, and reduced his combat load.
Of course, the premise for Lan Yan to dare to distribute the spoils like this is-
No matter what the situation, he had the confidence to suppress Yin Guyue's ambitions.
"Go back to sleep, I'll practice for a while." Lan Yan picked up a long sword from the side and walked to the single-plank bridge to continue cultivating.
"Why don't you sleep at night?" Yin Guyue wondered, "General, you didn't have this habit before." β
"I'm a little distracted tonight."
"It's because you'll be able to receive a large amount of military spending tomorrow, so you're so excited?"
"I think it's probably the other way around." Lan Yan's face was expressionless: "There may have been an accident with that batch of military spending." β
"How is that possible!?" Yin Guyue shook her head: "How can anyone in Dongyang dare to make a move on our money now?" Finished stealing from the stream? Or Jing Zhengweiβ"
"Captain Wan believes in loyalty, President Jing is not interested in money, they don't need to touch this money."
"Then who else in Dongyang dares to provoke us? Xuanzhu County is full of a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp with no eggs......"
"You know what?" Lan Yan suddenly said: "In addition to Jing Zhengwei, at the banquet, there was also a person from the Silver Blood Society who did something to me. β
"Why didn't I see it?" Yin Guyue was stunned.
"Because he did it in the dark."
Yin Guyue recalled the appearance of the members of the Silver Blood Society, and soon realized: "Could it be that ......?"
Lan Yan said with a smile: "I heard that in Dongyang Haimao, there is an overseas commodity called 'luminous pigment', which is said to be able to absorb light and glow, but the quantity is very small, and there is not even circulation on the market. β
"Anyone with a different hair color is basically not an ordinary person."
"You think it's his hand?" Yin Guyue looked confused: "But how could Silver Blood dare to do it?" Don't talk about us, Jing Zhengwei won't let him go! β
"I just remembered him suddenly." Lan Yan said casually: "After all, there are not many Dongyang people who can make me remember. β
"Moreover, if that military budget is really gone, then there may be no silver blood meeting now, and Jing Zhengwei may be more auspicious."
"If you don't muddy the water, how can the earth snake snatch food from the mouth of the dragon crossing the river?"
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the gate of the training ground, and an ordinary man walked into the training ground and said in a voice that was just right for them to hear: "General Lan, urgent report." β
"Mr. Xia is here." Lan Yan stopped his sword: "I guess it's not good news. β
"Hey, hey? Are you finally going to be deflated, General? Yin Guyue coaxed excitedly: "No, no, no, it turns out that you will also be deceived, general-"
"Don't be afraid of deception, the world is built on deception."
Lan Yan walked off the single-plank bridge, picked up the dark blue coat and put it on.
"I'm also looking forward to seeing who makes this dull script interesting again."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It worked!
Although a drowsiness that was almost stormy hit his head, and even the 'Ice Blood Physique' couldn't be reduced by half a point, Leyu was still so excited that his heart was on fire and there was light in his eyes!
It stands to reason that Leyu no longer has enough mental strength to launch the 'Veil of Strife' again. The 'Veil of Strife' pirated by the Sage's relics consumes a lot of spiritual power, even if Le Yu completes the 'Tribulation of a Thousand Feathers', it can only be used once at most.
But Le Yu just now absorbed a lot of vitality when he hit ten in the Black Sun Blood War Casino, and his mental power recovered a lot.
What's more, Leyu doesn't need to maintain more than ten seconds of darkness, he only needs a few breaths!
In addition, Leyu has a great advantage - other people's mental power is less than ten percent of the normal state, and they will immediately fall into syncope, but unless Leyu has not a drop left, then he can continue to use the 'Ice Blood Physique' to drive his body until his body is broken!
That's the opportunity he was waiting for!
When Qin Le Yin confidently made a big move, he suddenly enveloped him with darkness and interrupted his spell casting!
As long as he is not a hidden sword assassin, once he is shrouded in darkness, it is equivalent to entering a state of silence, and the panic, fear, and despair it brings are enough to create a killing gap for Leyu!
Naturally, Leyu will not hide the sword and combat techniques, and he will not be able to ravage Qin and Leyin wantonly in the dark.
But he knew when the darkness would disappear.
At the moment when the dark alley was illuminated by the moonlight again, it was the clarion call for Leyu to turn defeat into victory!
However, just a few breaths before the darkness had cleared, a pair of hands grabbed Leyu's collarbone.
A sharp burst of light pierced his flesh and held him firmly in the hands of his attackers in the darkness.
He heard Qin Le Yin make the final death announcementβ
"Your life has been like a candle in the wind."
