Chapter 127: Underwater Sword Fight
A large hole was made in the bottom of the boat, and the river poured in, reaching its knees in a moment.
Without the slightest hesitation, the old knife handle opened his arms slightly, and his body was like a meteor flashing in the night sky, suddenly swept into the water, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Although the floor below Zhao Qing had also shattered, she did not immediately sink into the water.
Taking a deep breath, she touched the water with both feet, and leaped into the air.
In the blink of an eye, he pulled out a silk thread from the cuff of his shirt, connected it to the embroidery needle, and then threw it quickly, crossed a curve, wrapped it around Jin Jiuling on the cabinet several times, and finally put the thread into Shaman's hand.
He Shangshu, Mustache, and the others anxiously searched for a way out, trying to grab a large wooden object before the ship sank, relying on its buoyancy without being sucked into the bottom by the whirlpool.
The huge whirlpool created when a large ship sinks, even the best masters, if they rely on manpower, may not be able to escape. However, with the current speed of water ingress, both Zhao Qing and Shaman are sure to escape to the shore before sinking.
Especially Zhao Qing, with her light skills, although she is located at the bottom of the boat, she can return to the river bank with only two ups and downs.
However, she did not make the slightest gesture to escape, but looked at the water inlet like a spring, and then jumped down and followed the old knife into the water.
Are the Mudao people good at water warfare? Deliberately flooding the boat in order to create a favorable environment for his hand-to-hand?
The moment Zhao Qing entered the water, while being vigilant in his heart, he also secretly thought.
If I don't come down with it, but leave and return to shore, won't it be in vain? It can only be said that his understanding of people's hearts is really accurate, and he sees a strong idea that I want to compete with each other.
Fighting in the water, an experience that he had never had, aroused Zhao Qing's curiosity and sense of victory.
However, it is natural for Wu Ming, who lives on the island, to be good at water warfare, but it is beyond her expectation that the Mudao people are also good at this way.
In fact, the water battle kung fu of the Mudao people came from one of the six island masters whose reputation was second only to the Baiyun City Lord in the South China Sea in the past years, the "Flying Fish Island Lord" Yu Huan.
"Flying Fish Island Master" Yu is not only famous in the seven seas, but also famous in the Central Plains martial arts, not only with extremely high water quality, but also not weak in swordsmanship.
Many people believe that on land, the Baiyun City Lord is a famous swordsman who moves the world, but in the water, he is definitely not as good as Yu Huan.
And the old knife handle, who had learned Yu Huan's kung fu, judged that he was able to defeat ten Yu Huan's joinforces underwater, which was consistent with his situation on land.
……
Under the surface of the water, the field of vision suddenly became pitch black, and even the starlight and moonlight could not be seen.
With Zhao Qing's skills at this time, he can completely see things at night, just like day, but now this is not only night, but also in the deep water in the night, which is much darker than the water surface.
She stared, and could only barely see the situation a few feet in front of her. Far away, it was a muddy and dim lake.
However, the average vision effect does not mean that Zhao Qing has lost his underwater perception. Hearing, touch, every ripple of water sends her a lot of information.
Hua Manlou was blind at a young age, and in the dark, he developed an amazing sense of hearing and touch. He had touched two different people's hairs and could feel the difference.
For such a magical ability, Zhao Qing also asked him when he had time, studied it, and learned some related skills.
With her deeper skills, if she were to paint a picture of the information she perceived when she closed her eyes, her resolution might not be as high as that of a full building, but she could see a lot more from afar.
One is finer, the other is farther away, and that's the difference between depth and breadth.
It is also because of the ability to practice this aspect that Zhao Qing has full confidence and fights with the old knife handle underwater.
……
Transporting the internal strength to offset the suction of the hole in the bottom of the boat above on the water body, Zhao Qing passed through the river like an arrow, silently through the water flu, searching for the traces of the old knife handle.
It stands to reason that the other party takes the initiative to dive and invite the battle, so they will naturally pay attention to the situation and direction of their entry into the water.
Sure enough, in the darkness, there was a sudden flash of sword light, like thunder and anger, lightning was powerful, but it was faster and more terrifying than lightning.
The long whip in the hand of the old knife broke through the undercurrent, and suddenly shuttled in, stabbing straight towards Zhao Qing.
Under the water, the bamboo hat he used to cover his face has been washed away by the current. There is no doubt that such an object with a huge water resistance is not suitable for water warfare.
About three zhang away, Zhao Qing finally saw the true face of the old knife handle, and saw his extremely serious and focused expression and a pair of shining eyes.
Of course, the old knife handle is a wooden man, and Zhao Qing naturally recognizes it. Just a few days ago, she had met Master Bitter Melon at his residence.
The Mu Dao people had also recognized Zhao Qing's identity.
After diving into the water, the materials on her face that were originally used to disguise and disguise were also washed away, and she was not protected by internal force.
Once these glue-like things are immersed in water and disperse, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it will not be able to hide much time.
In this regard, a human skin mask or something like that should be a better way to disguise, but Zhao Qing is still not used to it.
Although they recognized each other's identities, the two of them did not slow down at all, and even scored half a point faster.
Seeing that the Wujin long whip was getting closer and closer, Zhao Qing's left arm probed, his five fingers bent and flicked, and several soft and latent sword qi melted into the water, and struck towards the whip body!
At the moment when the sword qi and the whip body intersected, the front part of the long whip was actually covered with a layer of ice, which became a little slower, but it was Zhao Qing who passed into the long whip in the water with his cold internal strength.
Hearing only a dull sound of water, the long whip of the Mu Dao man was suddenly withdrawn, and the solid ice disappeared in an instant, showing that he had transported the pure yang internal force to heat and melt it.
His man sank deeper into the water, the whip glittering in the darkness, hiding his figure in the flickering light of the sword.
In the dark, visionless world underwater, just the right amount of sword energy can completely disrupt people's perception, and then affect the outcome of a battle.
Therefore, after sensing for a while, Zhao Qing also dived.
And at the moment when she just followed down, the wooden Dao man was really angry and pulled it up.
The long whip in his hand stabbed upwards diagonally, and the speed didn't seem to be very fast, but an incomparably dark energy surged out, and it was faintly carrying the sound of rumbling thunder!
Looking at this oncoming stabbing attack, Zhao Qing suddenly understood the truth of Mu Daoren's move:
Changing the direction of travel in the water, because the relationship between drag and borrowing force is much more difficult than on land, at this time, it is very important to know how to calculate and guide.
And this is what Mudao people, who are known as the first in Go, the second in poetry and wine, and the third in swordsmanship, are what he is best at. The computing power required to play chess is quite amazing, and Mu Daoren is precisely the most clever chess player in the world.
However, Zhao Qing was not unexpectedly surprised by the Mudao people's moves. She was not afraid, her body bowed slightly, and she had enough strength to exercise her body, and her hands emitted sword qi, and she went straight to the dark energy point that was attacking!
There was a loud "boom", and the two powerful sword qi collided together, the undercurrent dispersed, and the surrounding water body shook endlessly, and it was several times turbid in an instant.
After the first blow, when the water rioted, the two of them hedged against the current and began to make a close-range move, hitting out explosive bubbles in the water, stirring up a circle of underwater whirlpools around the two.
The swordsmanship of the Mu Dao people is very accurate, and every move is amazingly stable, not affected by the undercurrent surging in the water, and vaguely forms a compelling sword momentum.
It's like a chess player playing rapids, who doesn't seem to be moving fast, but he is pressing forward step by step, heading towards the opponent's territory.
Dealing with this steady and steady move, Zhao Qing sped up the speed of his sword, trying to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
For a while, the sword qi crisscrossed and criss-crossed, as fast as a hurricane wind and lightning, and there was a sound of "popping" qi explosion everywhere.
