Chapter 70: The Heart of a Warrior

In less than a moment, Zhiming's halberd handle was knocked flying. Gan Ning slashed straight down, and Zhiming blocked it with a halberd. Gan Ning pressed down hard, but Zhiming couldn't make it hard, and fell to his knees all of a sudden.

Gan Ning continued to exert force, and the sharp side of the halberd head had already touched Zhiming's shoulder, and a stream of red blood flowed down his arm.

"Boy, admit defeat quickly!" Gan Ning was unrelenting and arrogant.

The head of the halberd continued to penetrate its flesh, and it had already touched the shoulder blades, and a little further down, the bone was about to break. Zhiming gritted his teeth and refused to surrender, and Gan Ning tried his best to subdue him.

Kong Ming's palms were sweaty, and he wanted to throw the sword over, but unfortunately it was too far away. In fact, Zhiming could make the Excalibur fly over through his sensing power, but he was afraid that it would be too eye-catching, so he held back.

"Hurry up and summon the Excalibur with your induction power, or your life will be in danger!" the old fairy shouted urgently.

Zhiming was hesitating, and at the last moment, the divine sword in Kong Ming's hand automatically unsheathed, turned into a bolt of lightning, and flew towards Gan Ning's big knife, cutting off the handle with a "swish".

Zhiming was saved, he stood up and looked at Gan Ning breathlessly. Excalibur is already in his hands.

Gan Ning was puzzled: how could the hilt of the sword be broken, and where did he get the sword in his hand?

The people were amazed and wondered what had happened. Kong Ming was also very puzzled, why did the sword in his hand suddenly grow wings? Only Zhiming understood in his heart that it was the Divine Sword that sensed the danger of his master and flew to save him on his own; moreover, the Divine Sword was able to recognize that Gan Ning was not a real enemy, so it only cut off his weapon and did not hurt him. Zhiming knows that this kind of good luck is not available all the time, so he must take advantage of this opportunity. He decided to fight quickly and knock down the beast in front of him in one fell swoop.

Zhiming clenched the divine sword and shouted, his momentum like a rainbow, scaring Gan Ning back several steps.

Seeing that the opponent's big sword had been broken, Zhiming said: "General Gan, this sword is my talisman, it is extremely sharp, sharpens iron like clay, and will protect its master." You'd better give up this fight!"

Although Gan Ning is currently at a disadvantage, as a martial artist, he can't let go of his dignity and says: "That's right, my weapon is useless, and it stands to reason that I should admit defeat immediately." But, you know, I've been in a lot of battles, but I've never lost a single battle! I'm not willing to give up like that! I'm going to fight until the last moment, until one of us falls!"

Gan Ning's tenacious fighting spirit shocked everyone present, and the fighting spirit exuded by him made even Zhiming fearful. Gan Ning has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his understanding is extremely high, he doesn't need too much guidance from others at all, and he can learn something just by relying on his own understanding. When he was young, he was a pirate, a bandit, a dissolute ranger, he traveled all over the country to visit famous teachers, learned many kinds of martial arts, loved to compete with others, and defeated all opponents. The long-term "undefeated golden body" has led to his self-confidence bursting, and he once thought that he was invincible in the world. He had submitted to Liu Biao and Huang Zu, but unfortunately they were not reused, and later assisted Sun Quan to eliminate Huang Zu and came under his command; because of his superior martial arts, he quickly became the leading general of Eastern Wu, and the "Four Great Beasts" also became his master disciples because of his admiration for his martial arts. Before Zhiming arrived, he had never known that there were such martial arts masters in the world, so he was very eager to defeat him.

Zhiming originally thought that the battle with Gan Ning was just a general exchange, but he didn't expect it to turn into a fierce battle. Of course, he will not give up easily, and Excalibur has also come to his aid on its own, and the situation is quite favorable for him. However, Gan Ning's competitiveness made him admire, and he suddenly relented, not wanting to break the other party's self-confidence.

Gan Ning threw away the broken knife, cheered up with both fists, and used hard qigong again.

Zhiming was hesitating to use the divine sword, Gan Ning seemed to see his concerns, and said confidently: "Come, you're welcome, use your sword to attack anywhere on my body!"

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Zhiming secretly admired him, so he made up his mind and slashed at the top of his head with a sword. The blade of the sword landed above his head, and Gan Ning was unscathed.

Zhi Ming swung his sword several times, no matter which part of his body he slashed, it was to hit the stone with an egg.

"This guy is the same as Xu Chu!No, to be exact, stronger than Xu Chu!" Zhiming stopped and thought.

The muscles throughout Gan Ning's body began to expand rapidly. His face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes shone like a fierce beast. He roared and rushed forward.

Zhiming stabbed it with a sword, hitting him in the heart and couldn't stab it. Gan Ning held the divine sword with both palms, intending to break it, but the divine sword was a thing of the divine realm, and it could not be broken with human power.

Gan Ning grabbed the divine sword tightly with both hands, and pulled it hard, pulling Zhiming's whole person over. He used his right knee again, and Zhiming blocked it with his left palm.

Gan Ning took advantage of the situation and kicked Zhiming out of the distance with his left foot. The Excalibur fell into Gan Ning's hands.

He was about to raise his sword, when suddenly, the hand holding the sword seemed to touch a strong electric current, and his whole body trembled. Excalibur falls to the ground.

Zhiming stood up in pain and said, "I have already said that this sword has a soul, and I only recognize me as the master, and I cannot use it to fight without the master's hand." ”

Gan Ning rubbed his hand that was bitten by the electric tiger, looked unconvinced, and rushed again.

Seeing that the opponent was already impetuous, Zhiming once again used the "Borrowing Force Technique", followed the wind of his fist, grabbed his fist sideways, and used force in the direction of his attack, while stumbling with his left foot. Gan Ning leaned forward and fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could get up, Zhiming flew up, pressed down on one knee, and slammed into his back.

Gan Ning screamed miserably, spurting blood from his mouth. Zhiming's knees struck his backbone, and if it weren't for the hard qigong protection, his body would have been crippled, and the stone slab under him cracked due to the powerful impact force.

Zhiming stood aside and waited for him to get up. Gan Ning struggled to stand halfway and fell again.

Kong Ming and Xiao Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao held their breath and waited for Gan Ning to get up.

Zhiming saw that he couldn't move, so he wanted to sit down and take a breath. Suddenly, Gan Ning stretched out a hand and grabbed his foot and pulled it hard. Zhiming also fell.

Gan Ning stood up suddenly, lifted him into the air, and prepared to smash him to the ground.

"Stop!" a voice came.

Gan Ning looked back, Sun Quan came over and said, "Let go of General Lei." ”

Gan Ning put Zhiming down. In fact, even if Sun Quan doesn't call to stop, Zhiming can also rely on his strength to turn the danger into a disaster.

Sun Quan said to the two: "The competition between the two of you is very exciting, you have surpassed ordinary people, Lone appreciates it very much, but Lone doesn't want to see any of you fall." If Gu doesn't shout to stop, it is estimated that this fight will continue until tonight, so this time it will be a draw. Gan Ning, you have done a good job, General Lei, you are very powerful, and you have embarrassed all the warriors of Eastern Wu. ”

After saying that, he turned to the warriors who were watching and said, "General Lei is so young, but he has defeated many martial artists of my Eastern Wu, which is really rare. In the future, you must learn more from them, intensify your training, and never be satisfied with the status quo. ”

All the warriors said in unison, "Yes, my lord!"

Gan Ning said to Zhiming: "You have great potential, young man, if you practice for a few more years, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat you." ”

"General Gan has won the award, in fact, the general is also very powerful, just now I really thought that the general would not be able to get up, but I didn't expect it to be a fraud. Zhiming deliberately gave the other party a step down.

"'Soldiers don't get tired of cheating', everyone understands this truth, I hope you don't mind. Gan Ning suffered a back injury and had to step down.

"No, it won't. Many of the general's martial arts achievements are precisely what we need to learn from and learn from. Zhiming was humble to the end.

"We have the opportunity to learn from each other again and complement each other. Ganning patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, definitely. Zhiming put his hand on the back of his hand.

In this way, Sun Quan skillfully defused a contest that could become a battle of life and death, turning the two into enemies. Gan Ning used his good martial arts to save some face for Dongwu.

Zhiming admires Sun Quan's way of dealing with the world at this moment, not only saving face for himself, but also praising the other party appropriately, so that both sides can gladly accept this result, maybe this is an important reason why he can become the "king of a country".

Zhiming picked up the divine sword and was about to return to Kong Ming's side, when Gan Ning suddenly asked, "Why did this sword suddenly fly over to save you just now?

Zhiming smiled mysteriously and said, "I said it, this sword is alive. ”

Gan Ning was a little confused. Seeing that the other party refused to elaborate, he had no choice but to give up, put on his armor and return to his own formation. The crowd cheered for him again.

Looking at the back of Zhiming leaving, Gan Ning was uneasy, thinking: "Who is he, he is so young, and his martial arts are so strong? Ordinary people have to practice at least thirty years old to reach this realm." Moreover, his sword is by no means an ordinary weapon, and it is unreasonable that it will automatically fly to cut off my Celestial Dragon Overlord Blade. This shows that he is certainly not an ordinary person. If I have the chance, I will definitely find out where he came from. ”

Zhiming came back, Kong Ming said: "I didn't expect General Lei's martial arts to be so good, I really couldn't see it before, it seems that I really brought you here." ”

Zhiming put his sword back into its sheath and said, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and this kind of scene can be handled. It's just that there are too many famous generals in Eastern Wu, maybe there are even more powerful ones than Gan Ning!"

Kong Ming smiled: "That's right! Fortunately, Sun Quan handled it properly and stopped this contest that was about to evolve into a death match. ”

"I am also a martial artist, I think General Gan must have a kind of attachment to victory and defeat in his heart, and if this attachment continues to spread, it will make him go mad and fall into the devil's path. During the martial arts competition just now, I clearly felt that his inner demons were constantly expanding, and he almost took control of his entire body and mind. Fortunately, Sun Quan appeared in time and helped him solve the spell. ”

"Yes, although he is a soldier, he is also a martial artist in his bones, of course, he also pursues the highest level of martial arts, and he will continue to look for masters. It was not until General Lei appeared that he realized the truth that 'there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people'. It seems that he will practice even harder in the future. Judging from the current situation, General Lei's strength has caught up with Zhao Yun and Guan Yu. ”

"Where, it's still far from it. Zhiming was humble again.

After everyone dispersed, Sun Quan came over and said to Kong Ming and Zhiming: "The two of you are one scholar and one martial artist, play with Soochow! Haha, just kidding." Please ask Mr. Kong Ming to go to the study with Gu, and Gu wants to have a private conversation with Mr. for a while. ”

Kong Ming followed Sun Quan to the study to sit and talk, and Lu Su took Zhiming and Xiaomiao to the back garden for a stroll.

Sun Quan invited Kong Ming to take a seat and said, "Actually, before Mr. arrived, Gu had received a letter from Cao Cao, saying that he wanted to fight with our army..."

"Wait!" Kong Ming interrupted, "Let me guess. Cao Cao's meaning should be to ask General Sun to form an alliance with Cao's army to capture Liu Bei and divide the territory of Jingzhou equally afterwards, right?"

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, word for word!

Kong Ming smiled: "If this is the case, I have long expected the other party to do this." ... It's just that General Sun has ever thought about what Cao Cao's purpose is in doing this? Could he really be so generous and give away half of Jingzhou?"

Sun Quan said thoughtfully: "Mr. is reasonable, Cao Cao can't be so generous, so Gu didn't take his words to heart." However, Mr. Qian's previous words made Gu feel deeply, and Gu now deeply realizes that the person sitting in the position of Gu can not only be comfortable, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the country and saving the people, which is the real way to govern the country and secure the country. ”

"It's very good that Ming Gong has this idea. It's just that not all the strategists under Ming Gong think like this, according to my opinion, most of them advocate peace for self-preservation. You must know that they only think about the safety of themselves and their families, as well as their official position and status, but they have never considered the situation of Ming Gong. Ming Gong, it is advisable to hold a meeting as soon as possible to announce the start of war, it is not advisable to delay it any longer, and it is impossible for Cao Jun to wait too long. ”

Sun Quan stood up, took a few steps with his back hand, and said, "Having said that, Lone still has some concerns. In the unlikely event that Lone immediately declares war, the ministers will mistakenly think that Lone is guided by Mr. Lone's decision, and as the lord of a state, Lone will seem to have no opinion. ”

Kong Ming also stood up and said, "I understand the meaning of Ming Gong, but I was forced by the situation and had to do it. Of course, Ming Gong can think about it carefully, after all, in addition to fighting against the Cao army, your state also has to guard against the attack of the Yue people, which is also very important. ”

"Of course this lone knows. Sun Quan sighed and said, "The foundation created by my ancestor and Brother Bo Fu must not fall into the hands of an enemy, whether it is Cao Cao or Shanyue. ...... In this way, Mr. please go back first, and Lone will give Mr. a clear answer tomorrow. ”

"Then I retired first, I hope that Ming Gong can give a good explanation to the people of Jiangdong. Kong Ming made a farewell.
