Chapter 9: Fighting the Sword to Eliminate the Murderer
The intelligent creatures in the Tianyuan world are almost the same as the appearance of humans on the earth, and as far as Zhang Lu's reading and research results are concerned, there is no difference between bones and viscera, and the meridian acupoints may be a little special, at most, it is just that others are not accurate to point Zhang Lu's acupoints. The same goes for the common animals in www.biquge.info towns - what are the genus of cows, horses, cats, and dogs, but also the color and pattern of the coat.
It is said that there are some strange beasts in the mountains and forests that are not quite the same as the creatures of the earth, but Zhang Lu has seen some relatively brief descriptions in books before, and this is the first time that they have encountered each other.
I saw this beast, like a tiger and slightly thin, a bit like a leopard, but it was still a tiger's head, only the ears were slightly pointed. So it's peculiar, not in appearance, but in the fur, which is dark gray, and the top of his head, back, and four feet are covered with a layer of crocodile-like crust.
As soon as this beast appeared, he heard Li Jianchi next to him gasp: "It's Totoro!"
What? Zhang Lu was a Spartan on the spot - I don't read much, don't fool me, My Neighbor Totoro doesn't look like this!
It's a feline - of course, there is no such classification in the world of Amagaki - and it's dressed in armor similar to that of the legendary dragon, which you call Totoro...... Well, I'm reluctantly accepting that.
As soon as Totoro came out, Mocking Wind immediately laughed wildly: "I didn't expect it, Fourth Prince Li." If it weren't for the fact that this treasure was too terrifying to board the boat that day, how could I have missed? Now let me avenge the sword!"
Li Jianchi's old rules, a set of "soft cloud swordsmanship" danced incomprehensibly, purely on the defensive. The mouth is still giving orders: "It's just an animal, what's there to be afraid of? Ah Yong, you go and slaughter Totoro, I'll stumble this thief first!"
Wu Qiu Yong didn't have time to respond, because Totoro came from behind, and pounced directly on him, one man and one beast, each with his own palm, and immediately fought to one place. Zhang Lu made a wrong move, and also hurried over to help Li Jianchi, and the two enemies mocked the wind. There is also a Penno, still hiding behind a tree, not showing up - his ability is limited, even if he joins the warband, he can't help much, probably waiting for an opportunity to carry out a sneak attack.
The space in the cabin was small that day, and it was probably feared that he might inadvertently injure the merchant by doing all his might, and that he would have to go to great lengths to obtain the red talisman, which he did not necessarily carry with him, or put it in his bag, so that he was somewhat restrained. This time in the forest, although there are also trees to obstruct it, after all, even if the forest is flat, it doesn't matter, so the palms fly, the cold is pressing, and as soon as he looks at it, he almost breaks the defense of Li Jianchi.
But as soon as Zhang Lu came in, the situation was different-mocking Feng couldn't help frowning, and said softly, "Huh", and said in his heart that he hadn't seen him for a few months, how could this kid's swordsmanship improve so quickly? Could it be that he was also ......
On the same day, Lian Jin commented on Zhang Lu, saying that he had not yet entered the house, but in fact, he was not wrong at all, after the level was suppressed, the spell could not be cast, and the swordsmanship that he had learned from Zhang Jian for several months was too concise and difficult to enter the eyes of the Fang family. Elementary swordsmanship and swordsmanship often have a lot of tricks, not only in order to take care of all directions, but also to facilitate confusion and confusion in the attack, causing flaws. It is necessary to wait for the realm to go up, in order to simplify the complex, and even turn the tricks into no moves, and the attack will be taken by the enemy, and the more concise and clear, the greater the power. Zhang Lu only came up with a few simple styles, no wonder he was forced to the ground by Lian Jin's three moves - Zhang Lu at that time was actually slightly weaker than Li Jianchi.
However, one law, one hundred laws, Zhang Lu has a foundation, and then practiced the "Zhengheng Sword Technique" of the Hou Mansion, and in just a few days, he will memorize all kinds of changes in his chest, and he is quite handy in application. In fact, before entering school, he had already captained several levels out of thin air, and he had steadily surpassed Li Jianchi. Now it's not just about entering the house, it's almost showing signs of moving towards the Mystery.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Lu at this time is the Earl Zhang who can really fight Xu Huang for many rounds!
This kind of advanced speed can be said to be unmatched in the Tianyuan world, Li Jianchi knows that he has practiced martial arts, but he has "lost his memory", so he is not surprised, mocking Feng is not clear about this. Therefore, Zhang Lu "brushed" a few swords, and immediately reversed the decline, but forced the mocking wind to be clumsy, and he was overwhelmed.
If Li Jianchi also immediately turned defense into offense, the two of them used the "Splitting Stone Sword Technique" together, flanked left and right, and took advantage of the situation to go straight, maybe they could defeat Mocking Wind without thirty moves. It's a pity that Li Jianchi was originally complacent, but he didn't know that a chinchilla came out, and his mood instantly fell from the clouds to the bottom, and the young man was not mature enough, so he was a little cowardly, and he wanted to wait for Wuqiu Yong to defeat Totoro to come to help, so he still focused on defense, but he didn't dare to rush to attack.
After several battles, Mock Feng gradually weighed Zhang Lu's catties and taels, and slowly found his own rhythm, and the balance of the battle returned to balance. Zhang Lu squinted his eyes, there was a person and a cat over there, and he couldn't tell the winner from the loser, so he felt that he might be worse here.
Because the mocking wind is already the pinnacle of the Mysteries Stage, half a foot has stepped into the realm of selflessness, and it can initially attract the power of nature and turn it into its own use. This season is the late autumn - the world of Tianyuan is also divided into four seasons, and the planets revolve around the stars in an elliptical orbit, naturally there are aphelion and perihelion, there are cold winters and scorching summers, and the lukewarm days in the middle are divided into spring and autumn, and there is nothing strange - the weather is getting cooler, and almost every palm of the mocking wind carries a cold wind, which greatly affects the movements of the opponents. Zhang Lu remembered that when he was on the boat, when the mocking wind was still fine, Li Jianchi sweated on his forehead first-although it was a cold sweat-which showed that his physical strength did not grow. If the people and cats over there haven't decided the winner, he will be tired here, and I'm afraid he will also be affected.
He knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat the mockery with his own strength - should I try illusion again? Forget it, when the other party's mind is strong, it will be useless, or wait until the critical moment, when the other party thinks that he has the chance to win, maybe there will be a trace of flaw in his heart.
It's just that at that time, if you can force up such a little illusion yourself, can it still play any role?
When are you going to show your head and make a move?
After a few more battles, Peng Nuo finally found the right opportunity to go out - but instead of running to help Li Jianchi and Zhang Lu, he bent his bow and arrows behind the tree to take Totoro.
My neighbor totoro is not an ordinary beast, but a foreign beast, it is said that he has inherited the blood of a true dragon - dragon nature is promiscuous, and he wants to be on any animal, leaving behind a lot of xenomorphs - the leather armor is strong, the claws are sharp, and the movements are very agile, even if the hunters who have accumulated years of life no one dares to touch it. Even a strong man like Wu Qiu Yong, who peeps into the mysterious realm, has exquisite palm skills, and he can't fight it for a moment or three.
Because the crust on Totoro's back is stronger than gold and iron, Wu Qiu Yong tried his best to palm, even if the other party stood still and played a full ten, it was basically difficult to break the defense. But this chinchilla is alive after all, not dead, it knows how to dodge, and it also knows how to unload sideways, although it has been slapped several times, it is no different from tickling it. On the contrary, Wu Qiuchi has not practiced any kung fu such as iron cloth shirts, if he is scratched by the claws of Totoro, his skin will inevitably be broken and blood will surge, and he may even have broken tendons and bones. It's like two warriors who can fight for each other, one in cloth and the other in iron armor - and the flexibility is not reduced - it is not necessarily impossible to lose, but it is almost impossible to solve the battle quickly and win.
However, Totoro's weakness is also obvious, it is "wearing" a half-body armor, not a full-body armor, and there is no hard skin between the chest and abdomen, so from time to time it has to twist its waist and hips to dodge Wuqiu Yong's move to attack the weak point - if it is not so, but can ignore the defense and attack with all his strength, it is estimated that Wuqiu Yong will fall behind.
Peng Nuo kept aiming at Totoro's weakness, saw the opportunity, and shot an arrow into his lower abdomen. As an animal, Totoro's sense of smell is already stronger than that of a human, and there is one hidden behind the tree, which it has long been aware of, but the other party has not been active for a long time, so it gradually relaxed its vigilance. I didn't want this person to suddenly burst out is an arrow, My Neighbor Totoro was caught off guard, almost hit, and quickly tilted his body, only to block the attack with the thick skin on his back.
With a sound of "dang", like a gold iron, the shaft of the arrow was broken on the spot.
But as soon as Totoro tilted his body like this, his balance was broken, his footing was unstable, and he stumbled several steps in a row. Wuqiu Jianchi seized the opportunity and attacked with four palms in a row, beating Totoro left and right. Then Penno's second arrow also hit ......
This time, Totoro failed to carry it in time, and the arrow hit the neck, and immediately broke the blood mark, and it roared in pain. Although the mocking wind was in the midst of the vicious battle, he also squinted his eyes from time to time to pay attention to the battle situation of his companions, and when he saw this, he was distressed and angry, and felt a little bad, and immediately shouted violently, corresponding to Totoro, and slashed back Zhang Lu with a palm, and slammed his feet to the ground, jumped up, and rushed towards Peng Nuo, who had succeeded in the sneak attack. Peng Nuo's whole mind was on My Neighbor Totoro, and he was about to shoot the third arrow, but he didn't want the cold wind to suddenly hit his face, and he flashed backwards in panic.
But his skills were really a little inferior, and he couldn't dodge over, and was hit on the side by the mocking wind with a slash of his palm, and half of his body was covered by frost, and the person also softened on the spot and fell to the ground.
Mocking Wind suddenly turned around and attacked Peng Nuo, Li Jianchi was still guarding with him, and he didn't have time to stop or pursue him. Zhang Lu reacted much faster than him, straightened his sword up, and stabbed more than an inch deep from the side of his spine.
At the same time that the mocking wind knocked down Peng Nuo, he felt a pain in his heart, and his muscles immediately tensed instinctively, and he hurriedly turned his body to the side, and the sword could not continue to penetrate. He slapped sideways, forced Zhang Lu back again, and then gritted his teeth and stepped out in a few big steps, and he was already together with Totoro.
My Neighbor Totoro was hit by an arrow, and the situation was reversed in an instant, so Mock Feng fought hard to accept Zhang Lu's sword, wanting to join his companions - if you divide your strength, you will be weak, and if you merge, you will be strong. Even so, the three opponents will definitely gather in one place, but as long as Totoro does not fall, he still has the strength to fight. Of course, we have to clean up the fourth person who affected the battle first.
It's a pity that he is still a step late after all, Wu Qiu Yong is the strongest in chasing and suppressing everyone, even if he fights alone, he can barely protect himself, and he will not fall behind in a short time. If Totoro is single, he will be a little stronger than Zhang Lu, mainly relying on his flexible body and strong back armor to entangle Wu Qiu Yong. This time he was hit by an arrow, his body was inevitably stagnant, the flaws in his chest and abdomen were instantly magnified, and his experience in fighting was far above that of Zhang Lu and others, how could he let go of this good opportunity? Immediately, his left palm played a false trick, and his right palm took advantage of the situation to go straight forward, and slapped it fiercely on the soft place on Totoro's ventral side.
The mocking wind came at this time, and a palm slashed out, and Wu Qiu Yong was forced to carry it head-on. With a "bang", the palms were closed, and both of them shook and took three steps back. I saw that the green qi on Wu Qiu Yong's face flashed and disappeared, and he was lucky enough to force back the cold current that hit his body, and he failed to change his moves in time. The mocking wind retreated and advanced, and with both palms up and down, it was a series of onslaughts.
If he really wanted to gain a firm foothold and compete alone, Wu Qiu Yong did not dare to mock the edge of the cold palm, and now he was trying to kill Totoro, but he was attacked by the mocking wind from the side, so he was forced to take the other party's palm, and he fell behind. Although the mocking wind also has a wound on his back, after all, the wound is not deep, and the obstacle is not very big, if he really takes the lead and continues to attack, Wuqiu Yong will be defeated. But the problem is that Qiu Yong still has a helper, Zhang Lu is first, Li Jianchi follows up, and he also joined the battle group in an instant.
With Li Jianchi by his side, Wu Qiu Yong quickly grabbed back the first move. Zhang Lu looked at it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with me...... The key is that the two masters and servants have had a tacit understanding for many years, and Zhang Lu and Li Jianchi have also joined forces at a life-and-death juncture, but he and Wuqiu Yong have no cooperation, and if they want to squeeze into the battle group, it is easy to hinder each other. It just so happened that the chinchilla was beaten by Wu Qiu Yong and rolled on the ground a few times, and finally recovered and pounced, but his movements were much slower than at the beginning - Zhang Luxin said I might as well go and slaughter this animal first.
Anyway, Totoro, who is bigger than you, I have also seen it in Miyazaki's films, so why are you afraid? I am the first to learn the "Splitting Stone Sword Technique", and I may not be able to exert two or three percent of the true meaning of the sword technique in terms of fierceness, but I have always been known for my agility and agility -- if I don't believe it, ask Xu Huang -- you are not full of iron armor, and I can't fight you bravely, so I may not be able to do it.
So with a shake of the long sword in his hand, he immediately caught Totoro, and after a few moves, his heart was more determined. My neighbor totoro was hit by an arrow and a palm, and now his slow movements are not as good as mocking the wind, Zhang Lu stabbed the soft place under his ribs in the gap, and he was able to succeed several times, forcing Totoro to retreat.
I don't know if Mocking Wind is afraid that after Totoro loses his combat power, he will be unlucky, or if it is really their lord's deep affection, seeing that the situation is not good, he sold a flaw and pretended to escape, but he dodged over and slammed Zhang Lu. Li Jianchi was obviously deceived, and he wanted to chase after him, but he was still hesitating, but he was slapped out by Wu Qiu Yong, but he was surrounded by the mocking wind behind a tree, and he avoided it. This palm hit the thick trunk of the bowl almost broken, and the fallen leaves were colorful, covering people's vision, and when they calmed down again, the mocking wind had reached Zhang Lu's back.
Zhang Lu hurriedly twisted his long sword, forced Totoro back, and quickly turned around to prevent the mockery. Mocking Wind struck a strange pose, with the five fingers of his left palm facing upwards and his right palm pointing downwards, his palms facing each other, and his chest was pushed over quickly. Zhang Lu was almost stunned -- Are you going to use the "Turtle Wave Qigong"? In a hurry, he blocked the sword, and immediately felt a strong surge coming, and his wrist shook, and he almost couldn't hold the hilt of the sword.
If this is the case, it will be just a split, after all, it is difficult to hold the momentum like a tide, endlessly, as long as you carry this move, you will have a chance to regroup - and I Qiu Yong should also come over to help. However, in an instant, Zhang Lu felt that the temperature around him had dropped sharply, and there was a vast expanse in front of him, as if there were six fluttering down......
Is this the selfless realm borrowing the power of heaven and earth? But this is still autumn, where did he borrow the snow from? Is this a reality, or is it an illusion?! On the premise of not knowing the true meaning of the other party's moves, it is better to dodge, but unfortunately there is a chinchilla behind him...... Zhang Lu had to take a wrong step and flash to the side, the palm wind was cold and cold, and he avoided forty percent of the generals, and the rest was eaten raw, and he felt like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was condensed.
After making a big move to force Zhang Lu back, he walked to Totoro's side as soon as he took a step, stretched out his hand and patted the top of the animal's head, and said the word "go", and waited for one man and one beast to break out of the siege and flee into the mountains......
