In all fairness, Cui Yuan's swordsmanship has indeed improved greatly.

The broken sword lost the advantage of length, but at this moment, Cui Yuan's figure had become like a ghost - after receiving a heavy blow to the chest, this Cui Yuan not only did not mean to be injured, but took advantage of the momentum to fly away, and then the whole person pressed against the ground and rushed again at an incredible angle.

One inch is short, one inch is dangerous.

Obviously, even if he hadn't practiced the Red Thorn Technique, Cui Yuan had already comprehended the true meaning in another way.

"Is there really such a thing as a genius in this world?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of Su Xiqing, that man like a god of war is also like this, there are always some people in this world who are favored by fate, they only need to try easily, and they are far better than his years of hard work.

But now he is no longer the Du Chengfeng of the past.

When he first met Cui Yuan, his attainments in martial arts can only be described as tragedy. Strictly speaking, the stabbing technique and wrestling are not good martial arts, and the only thing that can be used is actually the pig-killing knife method from the thick knife - these things are okay to bully ordinary people like Yang Sanlang, but they can be used to fight against Cui Yuan, a swordsman who has practiced swords for fifteen years, but they are somewhat insufficient.

And when he fought Cui Yuan for the second time, he had already sharpened Cui Yuan's sword, although it was only a short period of kung fu, but for Du Chengfeng, it was like a lifetime - as a sword, he completely understood everything Cui Yuan had practiced, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to make sword moves with a knife and cut off Cui Yuan's sword with one sword.

And now, that is, the third fight, Cui Yuan has comprehended the moves, but even he has never seen them.

But this time, there is already a world of difference between the two sides.

Based on the two potentials of the dragon and tiger, to operate the muscles and bones of the whole body, and the auxiliary stabbing red technique is the output idea, the moves are not far from the key point, the flying dragon sword variant is far away, and the close is close to the body, and the sensitive tiger jumping method can be attacked, retreated and defended, and of course, the most important thing, that large amount of killing experience, after all, has been mastered by the skill of Ku Ding to solve the pig, and has reached a hundred refinements.

Strictly speaking, Du Chengfeng doesn't know what his current level is, after all, he has not met anyone who can do his best so far.

Cui Yuan in front of him can't do it either.

"An inch long, an inch strong."

The long knife broke the horse and never even came out of the sheath, Du Chengfeng directly used the knife as a stick and swept Cui Yuan's next plate.

He is not the fast knife Liu Qingyun he used to be, and he is not so persistent in drawing a knife.

"Drink!"

Just as the scabbard was about to sweep the front door, Cui Yuan, who was originally flying close to the ground, jumped up in the air, and stabbed the sword in his hand at Du Chengfeng's front door!

Even when grinding this broken horse long knife, Du Chengfeng had never seen such a move.

Once upon a time, Du Chengfeng once thought that fighting was to know oneself and one's opponent. When he knew all the moves of his opponent, he would be able to win with certainty - but at this moment, he suddenly understood that his opponent was his opponent, and the enemy was the enemy, and how could someone who could be his enemy follow his train of thought?

That's a bit too much to look down on the enemy.

There are also some who take themselves too lightly.

"Come!"

When the spine was stretched, Du Chengfeng suddenly raised the long knife in his hand!

Knock –

The hardwood scabbard flew out from the knife, fiercely picking between Cui Yuan's chest and abdomen, and flying his whole person in the air!

"What......"

The position of the thoracic and abdominal diaphragm was hit hard, and Rao is Cui Yuan has been practicing swords for fifteen years, and his breathing can't help but stagnate at this moment.

And when Cui Yuan fell to the ground, the long knife of the broken horse was already across his neck.

"It's amazing."

Du Chengfeng gently wiped the wound on his face.

"No wonder you can seal Liu Qingyun's throat with a sword, it is indeed very hidden...... The sword you stabbed just now should be five feet long, right? Five-foot-two? ”

"This ......"

Cui Yuan also wanted to raise the broken sword, but was smashed on the wrist by the scabbard hooked by Du Chengfeng's foot.

The broken sword fell to the ground, and Cui Yuan finally lowered his head.

"It's a loss."

"Well, it's true that you lost this time."

This time, Du Chengfeng did not shirk or deny it, but nodded decisively.

Just because, this time, it was indeed his victory.

Instead of relying on the enemy information obtained by sharpening the knife, nor just pointing at close quarters to fight for people's lives, this time, he only relied on his own martial arts to complete the comprehensive suppression of Cui Yuan, who had been practicing swords for fifteen years.

Even if the opponent has already hidden the move, even if the opponent's seemingly broken sword can pierce an invisible sword that is five feet long, it is the same.

"It's a loss, if you want to kill, kill it."

Cui Yuan's neck was crossed, and he had completely given up resistance.

"Xi Jian, with Mr. this mountain in front of him, it will be difficult to improve in the next life. Rather than stop all day long, it is better to die at the hands of Mr. ”

"Hmmm......"

Du Chengfeng frowned.

It's actually a pity to kill Cui Yuan like this, after all, even if Cui Yuan dies, he can only make up for his sword and soldier spirit. As for Cui Yuan's broken sword...... Although the five-foot sword did seem to be useful, his Broken Horse Long Knife had already mastered a similar method of increasing the attack range when killing those wizards.

What's more, the blazing blade of his thick knife was enough to cover a distance of three zhang when the fire was fully opened, and compared to this, the length of five feet and two minutes was still a bit too much after all.

On the contrary, if you don't kill it, this Cui Yuan may be a good help.

Being able to stab out the sword with a broken sword, this Cui Yuan has obviously reached the level of being able to control the evil qi sword soldier - but judging from Cui Yuan's mental state, this swordsman is afraid that he has already figured out what he should live and why he should kill.

Although Du Chengfeng always felt that this matter was a bit delicate, he also had to admit that the thinking of a mentally ill person was always a little more direct than that of a normal peace-loving person like him, and it was easier to control the evil sword soldiers.

However, since Cui Yuan has reached this level, he does have the qualifications to become a helper. As the saying goes, one person counts short, two people count long, if you take Cui Yuan and attack and kill those grassland Hu people together, the effect must be twice the result with half the effort.

What's more, since Cui Yuan is still alive, it means that those rangers and swordsmen who were originally active in Jizhou are probably not dead, if these people are organized......

"That's not right!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Du Chengfeng woke up suddenly.

It's really wrong, although this set of ideas seems to be fine, but it follows his usual idea - the so-called strength of numbers, this is what he learned in elementary school.

But the problem is that in the current world where there are swords.

If there are more people, does the power really have to be great?

"No, no, no, no."

Du Chengfeng shook his head again and again, and he suddenly noticed that he had been blind spot in his vision.

In this world with swords, more people are not necessarily more powerful, especially in the face of people like him or Su Xiqing, who have thoroughly understood that killing people can become stronger, the more ordinary people with insufficient strength, the more opportunities they give the other party to fight.

And the best example, that is none other than himself, he has only been killing for a day, and how fast is the progress?

As for that Xi Qing......

"How many have he killed?"

Thinking of that god-of-war figure, Du Chengfeng's heart was a little heavy.

And his original plan has also changed slightly because of this thought.

"I'm not going to kill you, but I want you to do something."

Picking up the scabbard that fell to the ground, Du Chengfeng put the knife back into the sheath.

"I know that there may be some rangers or swordsmen who are still hiding in the wild of Jizhou, and may still be looking for an opportunity to fight back against the grassland people...... Indeed, Liu Dudu also talked to me at the beginning that Jizhou folk martial arts are abundant, which he deliberately did, just hoping that after the fall of Jizhou, there can be a second combat power to drag those grassland people by attacking and harassing them. ”

Speaking of this, Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"But I don't need them, I don't need them to hold me back. Their so-called attacks will only allow the steppe people to accumulate more sword and soldier spirits, and I don't need them to cause trouble for me in this way. ”

"In other words, Mr. wants to be a killer."

Cui Yuan, who fell to the ground, sat up, his brows furrowed slightly.

"If you want to kill them all, ......forgive me."

"It's not like they're all killed."

Hearing that Cui Yuan opened his mouth to kill someone, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but wave his hand again and again.

It was really not to the point where they needed to kill, after all, these rangers or swordsmen were also kind, or rather, this idea of wanting to desperately protect Jizhou even though they knew that their lives would be in danger was actually very admirable.

The only problem is that this kindness is used in the wrong place, and these rangers will only give away their lives in vain, and even make Su Xiqing stronger.

Of course, Du Chengfeng couldn't sit back and watch Su Xiqing kill people everywhere and become stronger.

He wants to pluck the roots of this Jizhou and let Su Xiqing break the cooking.

"You're going to find them, but you don't have to kill them...... Indeed, they will definitely not listen to you, so you have to subdue them, beat them away, let them all get out of Jizhou, and don't make trouble here. ”

Speaking of this, Du Chengfeng saw that Cui Yuan still had some doubts on his face, so he simply added another sentence.

"It's part of the practice."

"This is also part of the practice?"

Cui Yuan's attention was really attracted.

"This is also part of the practice? Can this also be considered a practice? ”

This involves Cui Yuan's blind spot in knowledge, for him, or for the vast majority of people in Jizhou, a place full of martial virtues, cultivation is either life and death, or hard work - in other words, either killing people, or on the way to killing.

But don't kill people......

Isn't this a sign of bloodlessness?

"This ...... Not quite a thing. ”

Du Chengfeng fell silent for a while.

Obviously, he was planning to deceive the mentally ill here, but now he was a little stopped by Cui Yuan.

At least it does look like this, after all, killing the other party is the real victory, as for not killing, it seems that it is indeed like what Cui Yuan said, a little less brave and just advanced.

But at this time, Du Chengfeng remembered Su Xiqing.

Obviously, there was a life-and-death feud between the two sides, but Su Xiqing did not choose to come over to kill him at the first time, but calmly rushed to Jizhen and completed the feat of breaking the city overnight - during the whole process, Du Chengfeng was left aside, no one cared about him, and no one cared about him.

Indeed, Du Chengfeng was even glad for a while, glad that he had a little more buffer time and a little more time to become stronger.

But is this really something to be thankful for?

Su Xiqing never took him seriously at all, that man like a god of war has a more ambitious goal, indeed, there may be a life-and-death feud between them, but that Xi Qing has never regarded him as a thing.

"Maybe that's the mentality of the strong......"

With a long sigh, Du Chengfeng subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.

"It's easy to kill, like now, it's easy for me to slit your throat, but I can not kill you because I don't think you can threaten me."

"You!"

Rao is Cui Yuan just admitted defeat and surrendered, and at this moment, he couldn't help but be angry by these words.

"What if you continue to practice swords? Someday ......"

"There won't be that day, because I'm going to keep being strong."

Du Chengfeng raised the scabbard and patted Cui Yuan's shoulder.

"You may become stronger, but I will always be stronger than you, and you will never be able to catch up with me in your life."

“……”

Cui Yuan was stunned for a long time, speechless.

In the end, the swordsman still hung his head.

"I see, I see...... Sure enough, that's true, it's really part of the practice, it's really part of the practice! ”

“…… Will you wait a minute? ”

Seeing that Cui Yuan suddenly fell ill, Du Chengfeng was stunned.

"No, you first said what did you understand?"

"I've understood everything! Sir is really talented! ”

Hearing Du Chengfeng ask, Cui Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, gave a deep salute on the spot.

"Killing them can only mean that you are afraid of them, afraid that they will grow up, and afraid that they will be killed...... On the contrary, if they are released, they will work hard under this humiliation, and they will challenge them again and again, and there will never be a shortage of opponents who hone their swordsmanship! ”

Saying this, Cui Yuan picked up the broken sword on the ground, and left the horse thief's den with a few ups and downs.

"I'm going down to practice! Looking forward to seeing you next time! ”

“…… Next time I'm probably going to kill you. ”

Looking at Cui Yuanfei's back from afar, Du Chengfeng felt the urge to kill this psychopath for the first time in his heart.

An outrageous psychopath with an inexplicable understanding and a strong sense of action, he doesn't want to meet this kind of thing a second time anyway.

"But...... Is this fear? ”

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt something.

Yes, fear, he didn't want to deal with mental illness anyway, so killing intent rose in his heart just now.

And when he was in Jizhen before, Na Xi Qing also tried to chase him down several times.

"That is to say......"

Du Chengfeng, who faintly thought of something, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

"He wanted to kill me at that time! That means he's afraid of me! ”

At this moment, the invincible image of the god of war in Du Chengfeng's mind collapsed.

It turns out that the man who claims to be omnipotent is not as indestructible as it seems on the surface, he will also be afraid, he will also be angry, and he will also worry about the growth of the enemy.

will, too, treat him, an ordinary person with no ambitions, as one thing.

"So that's the real you......"

Following this trace of killing intent that had been revealed, and following this trace of undetectable fear, Du Chengfeng finally felt the true side of Su Xiqing.

For the first time, in a real sense, he began to understand his enemies.

"This is the real knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent."

Du Chengfeng, who was in a good mood, put away the knife and turned over on his horse.

Although this battle with Cui Yuan was completely accidental, it completely swept away the awe of Su Xiqing in his heart.

At the same time, he also pouted Su Xiqing's murder channel.

"I can kill your soldiers, and who can you kill?"

This time, Du Chengfeng was finally convinced that he would definitely win.

But before that, he had one last thing to do.

"I hope you don't delay too long......"

Du Chengfeng, who left the horse thief's den, rushed all the way back to Yangjiabao.

This is the last link in the whole plan, as long as the people of Yangjiabao are also dispersed and transferred, then in the land of Jizhou, except for those grassland people, there is only himself left.

Fight against the entire grassland army on his own, and if others hear it, they may only think that he is crazy.

But Du Chengfeng knew that he could do it.

Because of these steppe Hu people, it hinders his business.

"As long as the finishing touches are done, you can get a good night's sleep......"

Just as he was about to return to Yangjiabao, Du Chengfeng on horseback suddenly frowned.

Just because the sky above the distant village was already billowing smoke.
