In this world, there is no such thing as light work of stepping on the snow without a trace.
The so-called lightness kung fu is just a contest between the strength of the legs and the gravity of the earth.
A section of hillside with a length of about 500 meters and a slope of about 50 degrees is covered with a five-meter-thick layer of ice and nearly a meter-thick snow layer, and the high altitude is extremely hypoxic.
It is a severe challenge for anyone to complete such a journey at the fastest speed.
Wei Xingshan was able to complete this distance before, his physical fitness and climbing skills are of course very important, but more importantly, he has a pair of long legs.
The snow is close to one meter thick. When most people step on it, the snow does not reach the thighs, and if they are shorter, it can reach the waist.
In this case, the legs are unable to exert strength, no matter how powerful they are, they can only be radishes planted in the snow.
Wei Xingshan was nearly two meters tall, and when he stepped down, the snow was just below his knees, and his legs could be pulled out, so he was able to complete the journey.
It was difficult for Nie Xuan.
The height of this female assassin is considered tall among women, about 1.75 meters. However, her body proportions are not as perfect as Anne's. Relatively speaking, her waist is long and her legs are short.
This kind of figure suffers a bit in terms of aesthetics, but it is advantageous in actual combat because the foot is more stable.
But if it is placed in this kind of snow, this is a hurdle that cannot be passed.
So for the 500-meter snow assault, she couldn't use Wei Xingshan's hands and feet together, otherwise it would be like burying herself alive.
The method she adopted was to use the sword to clear the way, and swung the sword to cut through the snow!
The sword in his hand is called "Snow Dragon".
This sword was made by Luo Sanchi, a famous sword maker in the late Qing Dynasty. After being invited back to the Nie family by the head of the Nie family at that time, he broke the three magic swords of the elder Nie's family in a row when he opened the sword.
From then on, this sword ranked third in the Nie family's famous sword manual, second only to the master's command sword "Bai Zhuo" and the great elder's hand-held magic sword "Bi Luo".
With Nie Xuan's current status in the Nie family, she was originally not qualified to use this sword.
Because of Nie Xuan's original carrying sword, "Wu Jin" ranked 23rd on the famous sword manual was destroyed, and the target of this assassination was the famous leader of the Hunter Gate, the Patriarch of the Nie family gave special approval to allow Nie Xuan Please send out "Snow Dragon" to help.
This move of the Patriarch of the Nie family actually has a lot of meaning, but at this time Nie Xuan didn't have the heart to think about it.
At this time, she swung her sword to cut through the snow, racing all the way, wholeheartedly wanting to kill the people on the mountain.
As for the origin of the sword and the two loud noises in the northern valley, she didn't care at all.
Because these are not immediate matters, as an assassin, once a target is selected, he must devote 100% of his attention.
…
It is true that Wei Xingshan does not have Anne's ability to "listen to mountains", but he is not deaf after all.
On the contrary, his sense of hearing is also professionally trained, and the level of hearing and identifying positions is much better than that of ordinary people.
At this moment, Wei Xingshan was leaning against the rock, and the two loud noises in the distance were just information that he had paid attention to but was not important now.
Now that he was in danger, he couldn't care about what happened to Lin Shuo.
He is now facing the southwest, with his back against a raised boulder on the top of the mountain. His vision is not very good, but with a gun in his hand, this is the best defensive posture.
He doesn't have to worry about what's going on behind him, he just needs to keep his eyes on the front, and once something appears, he raises his hand and shoots and it's over.
At the same time, he also knew that in the face of the Nie family's female assassin, he only had one shot at most.
Then he heard a sound coming from under the boulder behind him. This sound was a bit like the sound of a lawn mower mowing grass.
For the present Wei Xingshan, he is not afraid of any movement, but he is so afraid that there is no movement.
Hearing that the sound was getting closer and more menacing, Wei Xingshan had a clue in his heart.
He collected himself, carefully identified the position and distance with his ears, and thought that he couldn't stay like this any longer.
I have a gun in my hand, and the best combat distance for a pistol is usually between five and fifty meters.
If you are far away, you may not be able to shoot accurately, but if you are close, you may not have time to raise your hand.
He, Wei Xingshan, relied on his superb gun technology to extend the longest combat distance to about 100 meters.
As for the powerful close combat ability of the Nie Family Assassin, the nearest combat distance of five meters is very unsafe, and ten meters is about the same.
Predicting the distance between the two sides with his ears, Wei Xingshan took a deep breath.
This is not only to decompress yourself mentally, but also to store oxygen for the body.
Here is the plateau terrain and the top of snow-capped mountains, the oxygen content of the air is extremely low, and the series of tactical actions he will have to do next will consume a lot of energy.
If you don't reserve oxygen for your body in advance, if your eyes go dark in the middle of the movement, it will be over.
After taking a deep breath, Wei Xingshan hit a raised rock next to him with a hook.
The boulder on the top of the mountain has been blown by the monsoon for tens of millions of years, and it has almost weathered long ago.
When Wei Xingshan punched down, the protruding small stone fell down in response. Wei Xingshan held the rock with one hand, turned around quickly, and faced the entire rock, as if facing a wall.
After turning around, the hearing response to the sound was different again. Wei Xingshan confirmed the sound again, and then with a flick of his hand, he threw the stone in his hand to the right of the boulder.
And his whole body rolled over, came to the left side of the boulder, and came out from behind the boulder.
At the same time as he raised his head, Wei Xingshan also raised the gun in his hand.
At this time, the 500-meter steep slope below the mountain was unobstructed. Wei Xingshan was just about to pull the trigger, but he was taken aback for a moment.
Because, he saw a "snow dragon" roaring towards him!
Similar to the "yellow smoke" that was emitted when the barbarian went downhill, the female assassin of the Nie family also brought a lot of snow with her when she went up the mountain.
But the difference with the beast is that the dust on the hillside was inadvertently stirred up by the beast because of its huge weight, and the figure of the beast can be seen amidst the billowing yellow smoke.
At this moment, the "snow dragon" at the bottom of the mountain is the Nie family's female assassin who deliberately stirred up countless snow accumulations with her sword. These chaotic and dense snow accumulations, since they are waste when clearing the way, also serve as a barrier when going up the mountain. shelter.
Looking at it from Wei Xingshan's perspective, it was a "snow dragon" roaring up the mountain, and he couldn't see where the Nie family's female assassin was.
But after a moment of confusion, Wei Xingshan still shot.
Anyway, Mengbai, people must be hiding in it.
As a result, Wei Xingshan's shot was blinded, and a crisp sound came from the opposite snow dragon.
Hearing this crisp sound, Wei Xingshan's heart turned cold.
My own shot was right, but it was useless, it hit someone else's weapon.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if the other party had the ability to do this. Anyway, at this point, there was nothing else to do, just do it.
The pistol had a total of nine bullets, and Wei Xingshan fired all of them in less than two seconds.
After the eight shots, the effect is still very significant.
Because the "Snow Dragon" was beaten. Under the threat of eight bullets that exceeded the speed of sound, even the female assassin of the Nie family did not have the skill to do things like "slaying snow and transforming dragons".
Nie Xuan finally appeared ten meters away from Wei Xingshan.
This female assassin looked very embarrassed, not to mention disheveled hair, the right hand holding the sword had already burst open, and blood was seeping into the hilt.
Her left hand was clutching her right shoulder, and blood was seeping between her fingers.
And these are all the results of Wei Xingshan's nine bullets.
At this distance, Wei Xingshan knew that he had no time to change the magazine, so he simply threw the pistol and pulled out the dagger on the outer layer of his thigh.
And Nie Xuan on the opposite side, while slowly approaching Wei Xingshan, said in her mouth:
"Those shots just now were good. You kill yourself, it's a quicker death."
Wei Xingshan had already bypassed the boulder at this time, facing the true north.
And Nie Xuan approached Wei Xingshan step by step, facing the south.
At this time, the "Snow Dragon" that blocked Wei Xingshan's sight was gone, so he saw the high-altitude scene behind Nie Xuan.
With a ghostly expression on his face, he pointed behind Nie Xuan:
"Sister, there is something behind you."
A contemptuous smile flashed across Nie Xuan's face, and she handed the "Snow Dragon" sword from her right hand to her left.
"Really, I won't lie to you, there is really something behind you." Wei Xingshan said sincerely.
Nie Xuan snorted coldly and was about to kill someone when she finally heard the sound of the wind behind her.
She turned around quickly, but it was too late, just as she turned around, the sword in her left hand was about to be swung out, when her wrist numb, "Xuelong" let go.
And a big hand directly covered her face.
She first lost sight of her eyes, then her body lost her balance, and then her brain lost consciousness.
There was a loud bang!
Lin Shuo came out of nowhere, grabbed Nie Xuan's head, and pushed her directly into the ice.
He squatted on the ground, and after pulling his hand out of the ice, he first scratched the surrounding snow, and wiped the front and back.
After wiping his hands clean, Lin Shuo slowly stood up and glanced at Wei Xingshan.
Beside him, Nie Xuan's feet were twitching slightly, protruding from the ice.
