Chapter 162: Alchemy Arcane (I)
Among the many firearms, the firearm is undoubtedly the most common and practical firearm, and the East and the West are not consistent in the direction of the development of the firearm.
Thanks to the prosperity of maritime trade and the close exchanges between the East and the West, the development of firearms in the Eastern Continent was largely influenced by the Western Continent, such as the firing pin firearm was invented by the Western Continent and later spread to the Eastern Continent.
Later, there was a clear difference in the understanding of firearms between the two sides, with the Western Continent placing more emphasis on the firearm itself, while the Eastern Continent believed that the projectile fired was the key.
As a result, the two sides embarked on a completely different path, with the firearms of the Western Continent gradually having a tendency to abandon the projectile, while the firearms of the Eastern Continent continued to work on the projectile, regarding the firearm as a tool for launching the projectile.
Because of this, the Eastern Continent soon transitioned from the lead bullet with the ammunition separation to the one-piece paper shell fixed ammunition, and then developed from the paper shell fixed ammunition to the metal shell fixed ammunition, and at the same time began to draw various talismans on the cartridge casing, and even some of the projectiles themselves were talismans.
This is also related to the concept of the Taoist talisman, the best talisman is not confined to the form of rune paper, but will be expressed in other forms, such as the formation is a rune that has been magnified countless times, and the top talisman will even produce spirituality, just like a living thing, and can even implant a talisman in the human body. Daomen's concept of projectiles is a continuation of its own talisman concept.
Therefore, whether it is the "Divine Dragon Handcuff" or the "Blue Bird Handcuff", their main power does not come from the handcuff itself, but from the projectile. Even the "Dragon Handcuff" was originally developed and produced in order to better adapt to the "Dragon Eye" series. The flaw is that the "Dragon's Eye" series is too powerful, and it can only be reloaded in one shot, and it cannot be fired in bursts.
Western warlocks do not have the concept of "talismans", and naturally do not regard projectiles as indispensable, but constantly try to eliminate the existence of projectiles, and they are very effective.
For example, some top-notch Western handcuffs will shoot disembodied flames or missiles, which may be much weaker in power than projectiles that carry physical talismans, but they can make up for the quality of the quantity.
The firearm in Wang Baoyue's hand is not a top-notch handgun that does not need projectiles, but it can be fired continuously, although the power is not as good as the "Shenlong Handcuff" loaded with "Dragon Eye B2", but it saves the time to reload, and it is more advantageous when it is in close contact with people.
Qi Xuansu faced the handcuff in Wang Baoyue's hand, and it was too late to dodge, so he simply jumped up.
There was a bang.
The fire flickered.
A cluster of blood flowers exploded on Qi Xuansu's chest, but this did not affect Qi Xuansu's forward momentum at all, and at the same time as he rushed forward, Qi Xuansu had an extra short sword in his hand.
Because Qi Xuansu was dressed as a gentry in a wide robe and big sleeves at this time, and the long sleeves could even cover the palms of his hands, so he could hide a short sword in his sleeves.
Wang Baoyue's face showed a look of surprise, the flesh and blood derivation of the martial artist was only an extremely fast recovery from his injuries, not the impact of not being injured. To use the simplest analogy, Takeo broke a leg and could recover from his injury in a short time, but before he recovered from his injury, he was still a cripple, and it was impossible for him to break a leg and still walk like a fly.
In Wang Baoyue's mind, the power of his handcuffs was comparable to many powerful long guns, and Qi Xuansu was hit in the chest by him at close range, that is, the position of the heart, which should produce a star-shaped wound more than ten times larger than the frontal bullet hole, that is, a small hole in the front and a large pit in the back, forming a penetration. Even if Takefu is physically strong and does not die on the spot, he will be temporarily incapacitated. If it is an ordinary person, under the huge momentum, it will even take off.
But Qi Xuansu's body only shook slightly, almost unaffected.
The projectile of the handcuff did not form a penetration, but was stuck by the muscle. Soon, under the squeezing of the muscles, this projectile will be "spit out" by the same way.
This is not a skill that only Yuxu martial artists have.
This is the ability of the true martial arts.
In fact, even if Qi Xuansu does not have the cultivation of the true stage, but only the Kunlun stage, this gun will not kill him, because he still has a "side heart", this kind of expensive things worth tens of thousands of Taiping dollars can not be destroyed with a handcuff, to put it mildly, even if Qi Xuansu is burned to ashes by the "Phoenix Eye Jia Liu", the "side heart" can be intact.
Wang Baoyue fired at Qi Xuansu's heart, which was regarded as a kick to the iron plate.
Then I saw the sword light flash, and Wang Baoyue's palm fell down.
The "Seven Phoenix Feathers" can't shoot, which doesn't mean that Qi Xuansu can't cut it. "Qingyuan" was infused with true qi by Qi Xuansu, giving birth to a sword, and with the blessing of martial arts, even if it is a solid piece of iron, it can be split alive.
However, Qi Xuansu didn't expect that it was really iron.
With a "dang bang", the iron hand fell to the ground.
Wang Baoyue's palm is actually a prosthetic hand, I don't know what kind of material it is made of gold and iron, no wonder Qi Xuansu's "Seven Phoenix Feathers" can't hurt a bit.
That's it, after the severed hand fell, what was revealed was not a severed arm of flesh and blood, but a black hole in the muzzle.
Wang Baoyue actually transformed this prosthetic leg of his into a small artillery.
The next moment, a fiery red light bloomed in the muzzle of the cannon.
There was a loud bang.
The whole iron ship seemed to shake a little.
Billowing black smoke rises.
A huge gap was blasted out of the wall of the room, revealing the Taotao Canal outside.
"This is the 'Alchemy Arcane' of the Western Continent, how is it?" Wang Baoyue leaned over and picked up his handcuff with his other hand.
Qi Xuansu was able to dodge this shot at the last moment, but he was shocked.
He is an old man with rich experience, no matter what opponent he faces, not to mention that he is at ease, he will not be black-eyed. However, this is limited to the Eastern Continent.
Qi Xuansu didn't know anything about many things in the Western Continent, and when he met Diswin, thanks to Arthur, a demon hunter, he was able to get straight to the point and successfully kill Diswin, who had lost a lot of vitality.
So Qi Xuansu really hadn't seen such a thing as "alchemy arcane".
The arm is a cannon, naturally like an arm, Wang Baoyue pointed at Qi Xuansu again.
There are no talismans in the West, but there is alchemy.
In the concept of Western warlocks, alchemy and arcane are two incompatible things, whether it is the basic theory or the superstructure, they are two completely different systems, but later a great sage discovered that the two can be fused in the human body and achieve a certain balance, so "alchemy arcane" came into being, and developed rapidly, directly controlled by the Arcane Council.
Correspondingly, it is the "divine pattern" in the hands of the Holy See, although the Holy See occupies an absolute dominant position, but the Arcane Council should not be underestimated, somewhat similar to the relationship between the Taoist Gate and the Buddhist Gate.
Wang Baoyue's arm was transformed into an artillery, which was connected to the human body, like a living thing, so it didn't need any ammunition, and directly consumed true qi, mana, qi and blood.
Compared with the spell of drawing talismans and chanting spells, this kind of attack is undoubtedly more direct and fast, and the cannon itself also has the effect of amplification, and under the same consumption, the power of a cannon is far better than ordinary sword qi and fist intent.
It's just that this kind of "alchemy arcane" costs a lot of money, and converting the spent Ying Yang into Taiping money, it costs more than five figures, which is not something that anyone can afford, and it also costs an arm.
Qi Xuansu originally wanted to capture Wang Baoyue alive, so he didn't kill the killer at the first time, but he didn't expect Wang Baoyue to have such a means, but instead fell into passivity.
The rumbling of cannon resounded above the Grand Canal, and billowing black smoke rose.
Qi Xuansu leapt out of the gap and fell into the river below.
Wang Baoyue's figure appeared in the gap in the cabin that was blown out, and once again raised his cannon to shoot at Qi Xuansu.
The surface of the river exploded into a huge splash, and the white mist filled the air, and Qi Xuansu was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Xu Kou finally arrived, kicked open the door, and attacked Wang Baoyue, who was standing on the edge of the gap.
Wang Baoyue felt the strong wind behind him, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he turned around and shot at Xu Kou.
At the last moment, Xu Kou lay down on an iron plate bridge and narrowly avoided it.
However, this cannon also blew up the door and wall, and the huge air wave distorted the iron door frame. Xu Kou was even swept away by the air wave and was violently thrown out.
Fortunately, Xu Kou is also a martial artist, and there is no major problem with some injuries, but when he got up and looked again, Wang Baoyue's figure was already missing in the smoke and dust.
