Chapter 65: Scarlet Moonlit Night III
The duel between boxers and civil boxers is fundamentally about punching. No matter which sect's boxing skills want to attack the opponent, if they can't punch, everything is impossible. The main feature of the Dragon Imperial Art is to block and destroy the opponent's fist path, and the judgment is very important. The art of dragon diving emphasizes the integration of offense and defense, and can be transformed at any time. Dragon Breaker, on the other hand, emphasizes strength and speed, and punches before the opponent's plans and actions are made, even if the opponent moves faster, and can also use more powerful force to destroy their defenses. Therefore, the Great Elders of the Iron Fist Temple have developed a guiding technique to forcibly carry on the opponent's attacking qi and then send it back.
Yuan Yiping obviously put a lot of effort into the guidance technique. He couldn't discern Yu Jian's tricks, so he put on a guiding technique to respond to all changes. This kind of trick does have a chance to knock out stronger opponents. The Dragon Mark Sword in his hand is not good for swordsmanship at close range, but it is not bad for defense. So he used the dragon mark sword to block the point seal, hard to connect the qi of the attack, and then counterattacked back through the horsewhip.
If this continues, my energy will be depleted faster than his, but ...... Yu Jian changed his way and tried to grab the sword, and the long sword attacked around Yuan Yiping's wrist holding the dragon mark, and the speed became faster and faster. Yuan Yiping was very clever, and took a few steps back to allow Yu Jian to attack, and the horsewhip in his right hand began to gather momentum.
Yu Jian boldly stepped to catch up, and Yuan Yiping's horsewhip was thrown out of his hand. I saw that the horsewhip was twisted into a circle, like a snake, and it was wrapped around Yu Jian's legs.
Yu Jian recognized that this was the "Thousand Spins" in the Dragon Imperial Technique, and used his own qi to guide the horse whip, transforming the horse whip into a fist that he punched out. This breath takes advantage of the soft and tenacious characteristics of the horsewhip to turn the original cyclone into a materialized "whip whirlwind". Thousand spins are very demanding for the user, and in a duel of equal strength, it is difficult for the user to release additional qi to release the thousand spins, so it is necessary to pass the channeling technique.
This ingenious trick caused Yu Jian's right leg dragged behind him to be entangled in the horsewhip, and he suddenly lacked strength, and his pace was slightly sluggish, and the whole movement was flawed.
Yu Jian's sword had already stabbed out, and it came quickly, and the left fist that was gaining momentum was originally aimed at Yuan Yiping's right arm, but as soon as his feet were chaotic, he deviated from the original target. This was the opportunity that Yuan Yiping had been waiting for for a long time, and he found the space for the Dragon Mark Sword to strike, and quickly stabbed his opponent in the chest.
His sword is determined to be won, and it will never fail in any way.
But he stabbed the air.
After Yu Jian's right leg was entangled, the force of the cyclone not only made him pause, but his whole person also began to spin in circles, and soon spun like a spinning top. The cyclone released by Yuan Yiping was borrowed by him instead, and he approached the wrist of the hand holding the Dragon Mark Sword at a faster speed.
Yuan Yiping reacted quickly, but it was still not enough, Yu Jian's sword still stabbed on the jaw of the dragon mark. This blow was much heavier than the projectile in front of him, and the dragon mark could no longer hold it firmly, and was snatched by Yu Jian.
It was a momentary change, and that change was already doomed to the outcome of this matchup.
With the dragon mark in hand, the attack suddenly stopped. This is my sword. It was given by the kings and has long been part of my soul. No one knows it better than I do.
Yu Jian raised his sword, as if he had changed into a different person. He was originally a little lazy and depressed, but suddenly he became resolute and solemn. He wields his sword, and his movements are dashing and skillful. This sword is an extension of his arm, the materialization of his will.
The winner is decided. Any proud swordsman will face defeat when the sword in his hand is snatched. It makes no difference that the winner can take your sword or your head.
"It's time for you to make good on your promises. Let the people of the Qin family go. Yu Jian retreated to the side of the carriage step by step.
The women of the Qin family were all in the carriage before, and at this moment, they all got off the car one by one, intending to help their wife and young lady into the car, Mu Rong walked in front, and Long Dailan followed behind, ready to get on the car. Qin Shi stood by the car door and helped them.
The cavalry had just given up the field for the two to duel, but now they had narrowed the encirclement. Yuan Yiping's face was bloodless, and he waved his hand.
"Throw!"
Yu Jian's face changed, his reaction was like lightning, and he immediately turned around and pounced, pressing Dai Lan to the ground.
Every soldier of the Guards was trained to carry out the orders given by their superiors without any hesitation or hesitation, and as soon as the order was issued, all the soldiers were ready in an instant. They raised their short spears and threw them at the men on the side of the carriage.
Mu Rong turned her head when she heard this, but she didn't have time to make any other moves, and the short spears thrown by the guards came to her, and three of them hit her back, one of which pierced her chest.
Qin Shi tried to block in front of his wife, but was immediately pierced through his body by four or five short spears.
Yu Jian relied on the dragon mark sword in his hand to block the short spear that was thrown, but one of them still cut his calf.
All the short spears were thrown.
There is no room for thinking. Half a heartbeat, Yu Jian rushed towards Yuan Yiping.
There were soldiers who tried to come up and stop him, but no one was faster than him. Even Yuan Yiping.
Yuan Yiping was unarmed, rolled sideways, trying to avoid the stabbing of the Dragon Mark Sword, but Yu Jian pounced on his legs, he looked up and wanted to get up, but the Dragon Mark Sword had already topped it.
"Mother!" came Long Dailan's heart-rending cry behind Yu Jian.
"Order the withdrawal of troops immediately! Your life is exchanged for Dai Lan's life!" Yu Jian's angry eyes were bloodshot, and he forcibly controlled the urge to stab the sword in his hand.
I should have killed this man right away! But I can't do that. Dailan is still alive. I can't let her die. Even if everything is destroyed, I can't let her die.
"None of you want to leave!" Yuan Yiping shouted as he struggled.
"I won't say it a second time!" Yu Jian waved his hand, the sword light flashed, Yuan Yiping's helmet was cut in half, and his voice was colder than ice: "The next sword, it's your head!"
All the soldiers stopped moving, no one dared to move, they nervously waited for the order of the commander.
Yuan Yiping lay on the ground, his ears were against the ground, he was breathing with difficulty, his cheek was cut, blood seeped out, and the fragments of the shattered helmet fell right in front of his eyes, still shaking, reflecting the scarlet moonlight.
There was a rush of horses' hooves. In this moment of deathly silence, the sound of horses' hooves was the soul-hypnotizing horn in the realm, and more pursuers came. It's not too far from Ironwall, and the army of Fort Shoal should have rushed over.
The hairs on Yu Jian's whole body stood up. If the man lying under his sword does not give the command, then this moonlit night will be the time when he and Dailan will die.
"Withdraw the troops!" Yuan Yiping finally ordered with a low roar.
The soldiers of the Guards immediately began to move, turned over and mounted their horses, and those who lost their horses found someone to ride with. They were very efficient in completing the order, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was seated on their horses.
"Tell them to retreat immediately! There are still pursuers behind!" Yu Jian stabbed the sword through the skin on the back of Yuan Yiping's neck.
"Retreat immediately!" Yuan Yiping ordered again.
The horses spread their hooves.
However, the pursuers behind quickly came into view, and the person on the horse in the lead, even in the dim moonlight, Yu Jian could see very clearly that it was Li Yue, the general of Dingyuan.
"Lord Yuan!" Li Yue saw Yuan Yiping lying under the sword, revealing an expression of disbelief.
This made Yuan Yiping feel ashamed and angry, and his face was flushed. "Withdraw all!"
"Lord Yuan...... This ......" Li Yue hesitated, but no matter how stupid he was, he could see that something was wrong, so he had to order: "Herald, blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops!"
Yu Jian watched as the troops of the Shoal Fort began to turn around, slowly getting farther and farther away from him. But Li Yue hasn't left yet.
"I have never shown mercy to the unbelievers. But I will not fall into the way you do, and I will keep my word. Yu Jian put away his sword.
"Kill him!" he heard a cry that bordered on madness behind him.
He glanced back. Dailan stood up, her face covered in blood, and the bloody fact that her husband's family had been slaughtered before her eyes bordered on madness.
"Get out!" Yu Jian kicked Yuan Yiping.
"Yu Jian!" Long Dailan shouted bitterly behind him, "If you still regard me as your king, the dragon monarch you swore to protect, you will kill him immediately! Kill him !!"
"The foundation of life, integrity first, a city can be broken, a promise is strong. Yu Jian had a pained look on his face and muttered these words.
It's a story. A sad and highly controversial story. A city can be broken, and a promise is strong, which is a famous historical event in the city-state era. Yu Sheng, the king of Daping Fort, made a blood oath not to fight with Ice Spring City, but Ice Spring City slaughtered the Iron Tree City of Yu Sheng's wife and brother, and Yu Sheng kept his promise and did not send troops to stop it. In the end, he chose to die to apologize.
Few people know why Yu Jian was able to enter the palace to receive the best martial arts training when he was a child, why he was favored by the former king for so many years, and why the first king would create a dragon mark for him, so that he had the special power to cut first and then play.
But Dai Lan knew and knew that he was Yu Sheng's descendant. The most important thing in the life of the former king is Xinnuo.
The foundation of life, integrity first, a city can be broken, a promise to be strong. This was originally the family motto of the Yu family! He never forgot it! He didn't dare to forget!
Yu Jian held the dragon mark flat on his chest and said sharply: "Are you going to die under my sword!"
Yuan Yiping had no pride, no shame, no expression on his face, he silently climbed on Li Yue's horse, and Li Yue beat the horse and galloped away.
After they were gone, he turned around, knelt down to his dragon monarch, and walked to her on his knees: "The guilty minister Yu Jian, if you can't protect Your Majesty today, you won't be able to redeem your death." The old promise is in the ear, and the new promise is in the mouth. A dilemma, the minister can't have both. His Majesty is looking to return home, and the minister has no worries. Only with death can we prove our hearts!" After speaking, he held up the dragon mark and threw one last glance at Dai Lan.
My beloved, let me take one last look at you. Do you know how much emotion this glance contains in me! How much I miss! In my life, it can only be like this!
This glance gave Dailan a chance. She wailed, hugged his arm, and cried, "I will not allow you to die! No one can let you die without my orders!"
