The sword is a kind of weapon, one of the eighteen types of weapons, but it is different from any other kind of weapon, its status has always been detached.
Just like the duel between these two people before them, when they stood with their swords, everything around them seemed to disappear.
The vortex created by the sinking of the huge ship, the howling wind on the sea, the unknown curse... those are all irrelevant.
This is the sword - pride, dignity, glory.
Before the winner is decided, there are only two swords and two people in this world.
Their eyes never meet, but they can see every move of their opponents. The two seem to be standing in place, but the confrontation has already begun.
There is no need for too much fighting, no need for the intervention of spiritual power, let alone a few words, the victory or defeat between the swordsmen is enough in an instant.
Because the moment the sword is drawn is already eternity.
The bow and side of the ship were submerged into the water almost at the same time, and Wang Xu and Gao Jin also disappeared in an instant.
On the hazy sea, above a huge vortex, came the sound of metal collisions, short, clear, but extremely penetrating.
The sound was fleeting. There is no murderous intent, no hatred, and no need to test. In order to reach the peak of that moment, that's why I chose such a weapon at the beginning.
Of course, there is only one person who can reach victory.
This is the world of swords, beautiful and cruel.
Wang Xu won, and his figure appeared in the air again, with a gorgeous blood flower blooming behind him, Gao Jin fell from it, watching his own blood bloom in the air with blank eyes. When the blood that symbolized his failure sprayed from the wound, the sound was as pleasant as the wind blowing through the early wheat field.
Wang Xu seemed very calm. The victory of this sword was already expected. Today, he has thoroughly studied the part about "sword" in the Dragon Slaying Chapter. Putting aside the degree of unity of spirit and body, Gao Jin can indeed rank among the first-class swordsmen in terms of swordplay alone. But in Wang Xu's view, his kung fu of rolling out from the blade is inevitably too rough compared to Guiguzi's mature swordsmanship of precision, strength, ease, and treachery.
Of course, this is not to say that the current Wang Xu is some kind of sword god with outstanding swordsmanship. Apart from superb swordsmanship, the sword god still has to look at character and temperament. This threshold must never be crossed by Wang Xu …
"I've said it all, you're just 'once' fear... that's all." Wang Xu watched Gao Jin fall into the water. Immediately, Yujian Feixian came out, stood in the air, and began to perceive everything around him.
The sea has not calmed down, and the sky is still covered with dark clouds. In addition to the smell of blood, there is also an indescribable feeling of depression in the air. The dangerous breath did not disappear, but became stronger!
"The ballista...what form will it appear in?" Wang Xu was thinking.
He got the answer very quickly, and a majestic aura suddenly pressed up from the bottom of the sea!
"Ah... So that's what happened, did the curse come true on 'it'..." Wang Xu quickly climbed into the air, covering more than 100 meters in a few seconds. He also knew in his heart that it should be too late... But he still kept the distance as much as possible, hoping to grab some buffer time.
At this moment, the black shadow of the Otwa sea monster appeared under the sea. Seen from the air, this monster is really huge, and the debris of the sunken ship can't hinder it at all. Accompanied by a loud bang, the sea monster leaped out of the water and went straight towards Wang Xu in the air.
The moment it jumped out of the sea, the center of the sea seemed to be opened, and the huge waves spread towards the surroundings. The speed of this monster increased a little after leaving the sea, it was simply a giant intercontinental missile.
…
The so-called ballista, from the perspective of a siege weapon, is a device that supports the main beam with a bracket, the torsion spring drives the crossbow arm, and the crossbow arm is connected to the bow string. In the middle of the bow string is a net bag used to accommodate projectiles. Later, the Romans' catapults (using bronze springs and air pistons to drive bronze crossbow arms to project projectiles) were derivatives of ballistas.
This kind of thing that can be made by using the principles of mechanics and using animal tendons, wood, metal, and ropes is a very powerful war machine in the cold weapon era.
…
When Wang Xu felt a huge object approaching on the bottom of the sea, he basically guessed the meaning of the curse of "Calista". As a round of ammunition that does not need to be reloaded, the Otwa sea monster is perfect. The monster that could only move on the bottom of the sea was thrown into the sky. It is more than enough to destroy a city, let alone use it against a person
The big ball of meat was getting closer and closer to Wang Xu, and countless tentacles with ring-shaped barbs and fangs were swinging in the air. Wang Xu had already imagined several ways to die in his mind.
First of all, with such a large size and such a fast speed, it is inevitable to avoid it. It is very likely that the internal organs will be shattered after a head-on collision; secondly, even if you are not killed by the collision, the front end of each of the hundreds of tentacles It is a bloody mouth with digestive juices like sulfuric acid dripping from its mouth. It will peel off immediately after being entangled or bitten. Finally, even if it is not dead, there are two possibilities. First, the sea monster Started to fall, and was dragged into the sea to kill himself. Second, the impact force of the ballista keeps it moving in a straight line at a constant speed, rushing out of the atmosphere against itself, hitting the moon or the sun or something.
"It's not easy..." The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched. According to his thinking, Superman would probably be killed.
Wang Xu is not a superman, so he has abilities that a superman does not have. I saw him holding the black flame sword with his backhand, and the black fire on the sword ignited again. He made the sword parallel to his body, blocking it in front of him. Several tentacles of the sea monster were approaching, but Wang Xu still maintained this posture.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Xu suddenly disappeared, as if there was a revolving door in the air behind him. He just leaned back slightly and turned around, and the door flipped over.
The speed of the sea monster was very fast, passing by like flying, and then, as Wang Xu expected, it continued to move towards the sky. It is estimated that it will not stop unless it is burned by the atmosphere.
In the empty void, a straight gap cracked open, and traces of black flames emerged from the gap, and then Wang Xu "turned" out of the gap again. It turned out that he could cut time and space with the black flame sword, and hid in the parallel space for a short time.
This is very similar to the "Longyou Shallow Water" performed by Fanjiang Longqiuwu, the fifth hall master of Muring, but his trick can be used in the battle with psychics, and Wang Xu's trick is probably only in front of him. This situation can be rescued.
At this moment, the ballista curse was considered to be activated, and the succubus and Gao Jin had been beheaded one after another. In a daze, Wang Xu returned to Mr. You's room and sat in front of the chessboard.
He let out a long breath, thinking that this step was finally over.
Mr. You smiled and said, "How about it, is it fun?"
Wang Xu stood up in a jerk, and muttered: "The heavens are spirited, the earth is spirited, the Taishang Laojun is in a hurry like a law..."
After doing a few street performers' dealer moves, he grabbed a card in the cursed deck and squeezed it in his hand, "Fatty... see if I can't curse you to death..."
Mr. You shook his head and smiled, and casually threw two dice. At this moment, the curse card in Wang Xu's hand also showed a magic circle and words—Gargoyle.
