Chapter 466-467: A World of Difference
The courtyard walls of the Duke's Palace are two feet high, all made of the hardest blue rock, and the walls are connected to the power grid. The entire Duke's Palace is like an iron wall, so solid that not even a sparrow can fly in, how did this person get in?
How did he appear above his head silently without knowing it?
Tokugawa Nobunari is a martial artist, and the old Mike, who is completely an ordinary person, is still looking around looking at where the voice came from, and Tokugawa Nobunari has already hid behind the old Mike, looking vigilantly at the top of his head.
This is in the middle of the bamboo forest, one by one green bamboo rises from the ground, the root is still as thick as the mouth of the bowl, but when it reaches the tip, it is already as thin as chopsticks.
A man in black with long hair appeared above the bamboo forest at some point, the sole of his shoe gently stepping on the tip of the chopstick-thick green bamboo.
How is this possible? Tokugawa Nobunari's eyes widened in disbelief, the man's weight must be at least more than 100 catties, how can such a thin bamboo tip withstand it?
Even if a bird lands on it, the tip of the bamboo should be slightly lowered and bent. But now the man was like a light dragonfly, falling there lightly and delicately, and there was not even the slightest turmoil at the tip of the bamboo.
Dragonfly?
When he thinks of dragonflies, the first thing that comes to mind in Tokugawa Nobunari's heart is his most trusted subordinate, who is also known as the existence of "the first fierce general of Toei"!
This man's favorite gun, his gun was called the Three Guns of the World in the last era, along with the Miteki and the Toei. Legend has it that when a dragonfly lands on the tip of a spear, it will be cut in two due to its own gravity, hence the name "Dragonfly Cut". It can be seen that the tip of the gun is sharp.
The first master of Dragonfly Cut was Honda Tadakatsu, one of the four kings of Tokugawa, who had been in and out of the battlefield fifty-seven times, and was a brave warrior who could survive unscathed as a striker. He was the first fierce general of the Warring States of Dongying, and was praised by Oda Nobunaga as "Zhang Fei of Dongying".
Now this person is a direct descendant of Honda Tadashikatsu. His name is Honda Hideki, and compared to his ancestors, it is more blue than blue. Tokugawa Nobunari was most convinced of his bravery and stayed by his side as the captain of the guard.
Just when Tokugawa Nobunari thought of this person, a spear inlaid with green shell decorations appeared strangely like a long snake, and pierced into the root of the bamboo that Tang Jue was stepping on with a "bang".
"Whoa—"
The sharp blade of the spear slashed upwards like a wind, and its force was so great that it split the long bamboo in half directly from the middle!
Hideki Honda looked up coldly. The man stood on top of the bamboo, which was cut in half and fell in both directions, and the man had to fall.
Hideki Honda jumped to his feet. He stepped heavily on a thick bamboo, and shot with the force of the elastic force towards the path that the man would fall.
The dragonfly in his hand cut straight forward, as if it could pierce the sky!
His calculations were indeed very accurate, but unfortunately, Tang definitely did not fall as he expected. Instead, it fell like a feather, much slower than Honda Hideki had predicted.
Hideki Honda panicked in his heart, and the others couldn't change direction in mid-air, so they could only slash the dragonfly in his hand upwards and poke it fiercely. He didn't want to hurt Tang Jue. I just hope that Tang Jue can dodge the dragonfly cut and not come to pursue him.
"Boom-" Hideki Honda, who lost his balance, fell, although he grabbed the bamboo halfway through to increase the resistance. When it falls to the ground, it is still inevitable to fall into disgrace.
But Hideki Honda is most concerned about where his opponent is at the moment, and he rolls immediately after he lands. Rolled out a few meters away and turned over, pointed the dragonfly in his hand straight forward, and looked for the opponent with blazing eyes.
Then, Hideki Honda's expression was glazed and his body was petrified. ...,
Also with a dull expression and a petrified body, there are also Tokugawa Nobunari and Old Mike.
Old Mike was the most confused one, he didn't understand anything, but he thought it was very powerful. It was only at this time that Hideki Honda found out that his opponent was actually standing on the edge of his dragonfly cutting spear, and his dragonfly cutting, which was said to be cut in two due to its own gravity when the dragonfly fell on the tip of the spear, was trampled under the feet of the opponent as if nothing happened, how could this be otherwise, Hideki Honda was sluggish and petrified?
The person who saw it all was Tokugawa Nobunari.
The master in Tokugawa Nobunari's mind is the sword saint Yanagi Musashi, who is known as the unparalleled in the world, and Yanagi Musashi is a direct descendant of Yanagi Shishusai, the originator of Dongying's [Yanagi New Yin Stream]. The other is Hideki Honda, who is known as the first fierce general of Toei.
Originally, he knew that Tang Jue was a master, but he just regarded Tang Jue as a master similar to Hideki Honda. Hideki Honda was his personal bodyguard, and Yagyu Musashi had another dispatch, so they wanted Tang Jue to assassinate Taylor the Great.
Tokugawa Nobunari didn't think that Tang would be able to defeat Hideki Honda, and the Federation's first guard was the champion of a thousand, at most it was on an equal footing with his beloved general.
But in fact, it was cruel, Tokugawa Nobunari didn't expect that Tang Jue didn't make a move at all, and he had already decided the winner. This made him not only afraid in his heart, but also hot on his face, what is the difference between this and sitting in a well and watching the sky?
Tokugawa Nobunari had just watched with his own eyes, and when Honda Hideki cut the dragonfly upwards and stabbed it, Tang Jue landed lightly on the tip of the spear, like a dragonfly. Even if it is a real dragonfly, it will never be so light as Tang Jue!
And in the continuous action from Honda Hideki falling to the ground, rolling to turning over, Tang Juedu stood on the tip of the gun from beginning to end, as if he was glued to it, and he couldn't shake it off.
This is already an incomparable existence, you can say that this building is two stories shorter than that building, but can you say that this building is a little smaller than that planet?
If this man named Tang Jue makes a move on me now, how likely is it that I will survive? Tokugawa Nobunari thought of this, and his heart was cold. Because he found that the answer was no.
"Don't fight, don't fight, it's all your own people, your own people-" Old Mike shouted very quickly, he was old, his eyes were not very good, and he couldn't see the battle situation in front of him clearly, when he saw it clearly, it was already a frozen picture. That is, Hideki Honda pointed straight ahead with the dragonfly cut in both hands, and Tang Jue stood on the spear edge of the dragonfly cut.
Old Mike thought that he shouted in time, and the two of them had not yet won or lost. And from his layman's point of view, Hideki Honda cut off such a thick bamboo as soon as he appeared. It's huge, this must be Hideki Honda has the upper hand, right?
So Old Mike hurriedly raised his hands and waved: "Don't fight, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Duke Tokugawa, this is Tang Jue from the Federation." Tang Jue, this is the Duke of Tokugawa you want to see—"
Tang Jue condescendingly glanced down at Old Mike, sneered, and used a thousand pounds of kung fu. Suddenly, Hideki Honda felt the incomparably powerful force above the spear edge press down. The power was as if he had plunged the spear under a boulder, making him involuntarily let go of his hand.
"Poof—"
The dragonfly cut fell directly on the ground, and the ground was a stone path paved with bluestone slabs, but the sound made by the metal-cast dragonfly cut to the ground was not "dangchang" but "poof".
This made Tokugawa Nobunari, Old Mike, Hideki Honda, and Chikumaru all look at Tang Jue's feet in confusion. At first glance, I didn't notice anything wrong, but after a closer look, I finally found out where the mystery was.
It turned out that the dragonfly cut was deeply trapped in the bluestone slab, as if it was embedded in it. Tokugawa Nobunari gasped, was this stepped on by Tang Jue? But he clearly didn't see Tang Jue exerting force. This kind of weight-lifting kung fu is completely unheard of by Tokugawa Nobunari...,
Hideki Honda's face turned blue and white for a while, but he also knew that he was definitely not Tang Jue's opponent. He has long been known as the first fierce general of Dongying, and he is proud of being trampled underfoot. This made his heart suddenly unable to accept this kind of blow, and he roared and pulled out the small knife on his waist to fight Tang Jue
"Stop!" Tokugawa Nobunari snapped. Finally drank and stopped Hideki Honda. Although Hideki Honda is brave, he does not dare to be a little presumptuous in front of Tokugawa Nobunari. He could only stare at Tang Jue like a wounded beast.
"Who told you to do it to the guests, bastard, get out of here!" Tokugawa Nobunari rebuked Honda Hideki, for him, Honda Hideki was just a loyal retainer, where could he compare to the big things that were about to happen? Tang Jue was so powerful, Tokugawa Nobunari believed that it would really depend on Tang Jue to kill Taylor the Great when the time came.
Moreover, Hideki Honda had already sworn allegiance to Tokugawa Nobunari, and their relationship was very strong. So Tokugawa Nobunari is not worried that Honda Hideki will rebel, and besides, Tokugawa Nobunari letting Honda Hideki get out is also a kind of protection for him, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Honda Hideki's desperate words will only stimulate Tang Jue to kill him.
Hideki Honda lowered his head with a pale face, even if he wanted to get out, he had to take the dragonfly with him, it was a treasure handed down from his ancestors. The gun is there, and the gun is lost.
He squatted on the ground and tried to dig out the dragonfly with the small knife in his hand, but found that the dragonfly was cut in the bluestone slab so tightly that there was no gap to insert it into the tip of the knife, let alone dig it out. Hideki Honda poked a few times on the bluestone slab with a small knife, but only white marks were left, and it was wishful thinking to dig them out.
Tokugawa Nobunari sighed, shameful...... But what else can he do? That dragonfly cut is the family heirloom of Honda Hideki, and he has no choice but to say politely to Tang Jue: "I'm sorry, Hideki is also here to protect my safety." Please don't embarrass him for my sake. I promise he won't attack you again, we are friends, not enemies. ”
"The lord ......" Hideki Honda raised his eyes and looked at Tokugawa Nobunari, and his heart was very moved. With the dignity of Tokugawa Nobunari's identity, he actually apologized to outsiders for him, which made Honda Hideki feel that there was nothing wrong with following Tokugawa Nobunari, and the previous Tokugawa Nobunari's scolding of him was nothing at all.
Tang smiled indifferently, lightly kicked his feet, and suddenly a powerful force bounced out the dragonfly cut "boom", which was like opening champagne, and the dragonfly cut popped out and fell to the ground like a bottle stopper, looking so relaxed.
Then Tang Jue gently wiped his foot on the long groove left by the dragonfly on the ground, and wherever the soles of his shoes were wiped, the bluestone slab returned to its original state, looking very smooth.
It's just that if you look closely, you will find that there are some inconsistencies with the original bluestone slab, but this is not important, the important thing is that Honda Hideki's little knife can only leave a mark on the bluestone slab with all his strength, but Tang Jue can smooth out the slate with his feet like mud, this difference in strength is not only a world of difference?
"Oh my God......" Old Mike was already frightened, where had he ever seen such a miraculous martial arts. If it weren't for the fact that he had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, I was afraid that he would think that he was on the scene of a martial arts film, and bluestone slabs, bamboos and other things were props.
Hideki Honda picked up the dragonfly cut and left in a gray manner. He used to think very highly of himself, but after today's fight with Tang Jue, Hideki Honda felt that he was the frog at the bottom of the well, and he never dared to boast of his bravery in front of people in the future.
Now the problem is very serious, and Tokugawa Nobunari did not think that Tang would be able to oppose his determination to marry Emily. But now it seems that at least now he has to compromise. Tang Jue's strength really gave him too strong a shock, so he didn't dare to resist Tang Jue for a while. ...,
"I understand about Her Highness Emily. Tokugawa Nobunari was a heroic figure, and he immediately said to Tang Jue: "Since you refuse, then Her Royal Highness Emily and Her Highness Angelina will follow you out of the territory of the Empire." The gates of the empire are also always open for you if you wish, and I hope we will be friends forever. ”
Tang Jue couldn't rest assured of Tokugawa Nobunari and Old Mike in his heart, so he followed Old Mike behind. He didn't expect Tokugawa Nobunari to be so aware of current affairs, and since Tokugawa Nobunari said so, then at least now the conditions for cooperation between the two sides have been reached.
"Please don't be angry, we are indeed sincere in cooperating with you, and the Duke of Tokugawa has changed his mind, so I don't think this will be an obstacle to our cooperation." At this time, Old Mike had lost his previous calmness in front of Tang Jue, and said to Tang Jue cautiously: "There is a saying in the Huaxia clan that there are a lot of adults, I hope you can not mind what happened just now, it was just a misunderstanding......
"I said that after meeting Duke Tokugawa, I would agree to cooperate. Tang Jue glanced at Tokugawa Nobunari coldly: "But the premise is that according to our previous agreement, I hate others playing tricks with me, understand?"
Tokugawa Nobunari and Old Mike both have numb scalps and cold hands and feet, which comes from the psychological pressure brought to them by Tang Jue.
"Don't dare, don't dare to ......," Tokugawa Nobunari replied with a pale face, he felt great danger in Tang Jue's body, and his intuition told him not to provoke this person. Otherwise, even he would not be able to bear the consequences. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
