Chapter 42: The Assassin's Sword

Zhanlu, one of the famous swords cast by Ou Yezi, a swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period.

It is said that when Zhanlu's sword was completed, Ou Yezi stroked the sword and wept, because he finally fulfilled his lifelong dream.

Forge an invincible weapon without the slightest murderous aura.

This sword of benevolence has been respected by all generations since the day it was introduced.

Many ancient books have records of Zhanlu, and later some people used imagination to depict the scene when Zhanlu came out.

"The sword is also made of fine light, the sun and the moon are shining, the stars are avoiding, the ghosts and gods are sorrowful, and the king of the gods is the king. ”

The great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty also had the verse "The courtiers are also in military uniforms, and the king is according to Zhanlu".

For the Zhanlu Sword, which is regarded as the second of the top ten famous swords in ancient times, second only to the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, Zhang An, a writer of online texts on the street, is naturally no stranger.

When Wang Yue gave Zhan Lu to Zhang An, although Zhang An was excited, he did not expect the actual power of Zhan Lu's sword.

After all, in Zhang An's view, Zhanlu came out in the Spring and Autumn Period, how good could the smelting technology be at that time?

However, when Zhang An pulled Zhan Lu out of the scabbard and held it in his hand, Zhang An changed his mind.

This is a spiritual sword.

After experiencing the rise and fall of dynasties and the change of years, this long sword has a different accumulation from ordinary sword weapons.

After a little bit of trying Zhanlu's sharpness, Zhang An immediately fell in love with this thick, deep and restrained black sword.

However, at this time, Zhang Anxin, who was facing a bandit, had some regrets.

For the first time in his hands, such a famous sword should be sacrificed with the blood of a master, how could he waste such a precious opportunity in the hands of such an unknown group of thieves?

Zhang An thinks so and does so.

He also sheathed his sword and didn't say anything, just lightly swept around the bandits.

His expression clearly told the gang of bandits his attitude: As far as you gang of bandits, you are not worthy of letting someone use a sword.

The gang of bandits understood and became furious.

How dare you look down on people?!

The angry bandits didn't care about taking Jia Fugui and the four as hostages, so they relented and rushed towards Zhang An with their weapons.

But the first to shoot at Zhang An was not those bandits.

It was Jia Fugui who shrank behind Zhang An's back.

He clenched a dagger and stabbed at Zhang An's waist with a hideous expression.

Above the dagger, there was a sharp aura fluctuation.

But when Jia Fugui kept saying that he had not cultivated, but Zhang An found that there was a breath of qi in his body, he was already a little more careful about him.

So when he stabbed Zhang An, Zhang An, who felt a strange movement behind him, kicked back without looking back.

"Click" Zhang An's kick hit Jia Fugui's chest, Jia Fugui was kicked high by Zhang An's powerful kick, and fell to the ground with blood spitting out, and there was no movement.

Zhang An didn't look back at his achievements, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the spear in front of him that stabbed his head, and pushed it into his arms.

The bandit with the gun was pulled hard by Zhang An, and immediately stumbled into Zhang An.

Zhang An took a step forward, his blood flowing like a river, facing the middle door that was wide open by the big man, and slammed it with his left shoulder.

Another sound of broken bones sounded, and the big man let go of his spear and collapsed to the ground weakly, spurting blood foam.

Zhang An held the spear in both hands and drew a circle around him, and the barrel of the spear repelled several big men approaching Zhang An with a fierce wind.

Zhang An changed the posture of the tip of the gun towards his spear, and pointed at the bandit in front of him with the tip of the gun, with a trace of disdain on his face.

The bandits who were saddened by a brother who was killed by Zhang An were completely red-eyed, and shouted the words of greeting Zhang An's ancestors for the eighteenth generation of their ancestors and besieged Zhang An again.

And this is exactly the effect that Zhang An wants, he wants to provoke this group of bandits, make them lose their minds, and besiege themselves desperately.

After all, there are twelve of these bandits, if these people see that the situation is not good and they scatter and flee before the soldiers appear and complete the siege, Zhang An is only one person after all, how can he kill all these bandits.

Not to mention that if this battle is not completed, Guo Xianling will not agree to Zhang An's request so readily, after all, Zhang An will not stay in Yangzhai for a long time, if these robbers run away a few people, hide, and wait for Zhang An to leave and then continue to do evil, Zhang An really has no way at all.

In the face of the many bandits who surrounded him, Zhang Anyi was not afraid, and when he saw the move, he splashed a spear dance water and prevented all the attacks of the bandits.

The robbers who besieged Zhang An couldn't help but be a little frightened, this kid looks quite young, and his swordsmanship is even better, why is his spearmanship so good?

They didn't know that Zhang An's real usual weapon was actually Fang Tian's painting halberd.

The Fang Tian Halberd is a weapon with complex functions, it not only has the chopping function of weapons such as knives and axes, but also can pick and stab like a spear.

Zhang An, who was accustomed to Fang Tian's halberd, was naturally no stranger to the use of spears.

What's more, Zhang An's plan was just to drag these bandits down, not to kill them and scatter and flee.

It is enough to defend with a spear.

Moreover, Zhang An deliberately left some strength to give those bandits the illusion that as long as they continue to fight, they will definitely be able to break through their defenses.

However, although Zhang An had already left his hand, he would occasionally hand out a few shots in the gap between these bandits' moves, forcing them to jump for a while.

After all, Zhang An can't blindly show weakness, he always has to fight back and forth to make the play more realistic.

Zhang An intended to release the water, and the bandits thought that as long as they continued to fight, they would definitely win, and for a while the two sides were very happy.

This dozen lasted for half an hour.

Although Zhang An was not injured at all, he also sweated a lot, without him, this kind of restrained battle made Zhang An, who had gradually become accustomed to opening and closing on the battlefield, a little uncomfortable.

And by now, those bandits have also begun to be suspicious.

Although Zhang An seemed to be forced into a hurry by their attack, and he was in danger, his face was not red or breathless, where did he look like he was about to be defeated due to physical exhaustion?

Just when the leader of the bandits was wondering whether to retreat for the time being today, a cold voice with some anger sounded: "A bunch of fools, haven't you seen that people are playing tricks on you?"

Zhang An was shocked when he saw that someone had broken his careful thoughts, and he no longer kept his hand, and suddenly burst out with all his strength, and the spear stabbed out like lightning.

The bandits, who had adapted to the rhythm of Zhang An's battle, were caught off guard and were immediately seriously injured three people, and the others were also more or less injured.

"Hum" a long sword shot at Zhang An from the right side of Zhang An, just when Zhang An returned the gun and changed his moves.

Zhang An stepped back, abandoned his gun, and drew his sword.

"Bell!" the two swords intersected, and the force that came made Zhang An's right hand slightly numb.

And the long sword that shot at Zhang An was also picked up into the air by Zhang An, and then fell.

A figure suddenly rushed to the field from the side, first jumped up to catch the falling long sword, and then moved, appeared in front of Zhang An in the blink of an eye, and in an instant, he and Zhang An passed seven or eight moves before stopping, and swept back.

Zhang An looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, as well as the bandit who supported his companion and retreated behind him, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you are the real leader of the bandits?"

The uninvited guest was dressed in a robe of extremely rich fabric, tall and handsome, with two swords at his waist.

"Whoever hurts my companion, die!" the white-clothed swordsman avoided answering Zhang An's question, but pulled out another sword from his waist, with two swords in his hand, and attacked Zhang An.

Zhang An looked at the swordsman who attacked him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Generally, the swordsmen who dare to use the double sword are people who are quite conceited about their footwork and sword skills, and once the double sword forms an offensive, it will stretch like a great river of soup, drowning the enemy in endless sword light.

Before Zhang An could respond, the swordsman's double swords had already stabbed Zhang An one after another.

But the swordsman's face changed, he stopped his attack, and looked around vigilantly.

Zhang An, who was stabbed by the double swords, slowly dissipated, and it turned out to be just an afterimage that remained in place.

The swordsman glanced around, and when he found Zhang An's figure, his face changed, and he opened his mouth.

It turned out that Zhang An did not attack him, but touched the back of the gang.

However, before the swordsman's shout could be released, Zhang An had already crashed into the bandits like a violent wind.

When the swordsman took a few steps in a row and returned to the bandit at an incredible speed, Zhang An disappeared again, leaving only the wounded who had been broken by heavy hands and wailed incessantly.

"Your opponent is me!" shouted the swordsman.

Zhang An's figure appeared not far from the swordsman, "I don't want to be attacked by the crowd, so I asked some minions to quit first." ”

While speaking, Zhang Anxin was also puzzled, seeing that he was about to clean up these bandits by himself, why hadn't those county soldiers arrived yet?

But soon someone answered Zhang An's doubts.

The swordsman looked at Zhang An and said coldly, "Aren't you waiting for those soldiers, why do you think I only appeared now?"

It turns out that those soldiers were killed and dispersed by this person in front of them? Zhang Anxin made a big alarm bell, since this person can kill more than 100 soldiers with the power of one person, then Xiu Wei is definitely not the one who said that he has just completed the qi induction into the body, but looking at the speed of the swordsman is a little slower than his own, it should not be as good as his own realm.

"You dare to kill my brother, only one of us can survive today!" The swordsman stepped on the ground with his right foot and killed Zhang An again.

Zhang An still didn't deal with the swordsman head-on, but his figure shook and disappeared again.

Next, Zhang An kept appearing beside the swordsman, and every time he missed a hit, he immediately hid his figure, looking for the next opportunity to make a move.

The swordsman roared again and again, but he was helpless, although his speed was not slow, but compared to Zhang An, it was a little worse, and he was always unable to catch up with Zhang An who was touching in time.

Zhang An's posture was just practicing with a swordsman.

And what Zhang An is practicing is Wang Yue's original swordsmanship.

Assassin's Sword.
