No matter how good your kung fu is, you can knock him down with one shot.
What Yu Leyang took out was the musket of this world that he created based on some of the theories taught by Ye Zan. Compared with firearms in the technological world, the principle of this musket is actually relatively primitive. It is somewhat similar to the earliest muskets. The most basic feature is that the ammunition and powder are separated. However, the "medicine" used in this gun is not the kind of gunpowder similar to that in the technological world, but uses the power of runes to produce an instant burst of energy, pushing the bullets out of the gun.
In fact, the principle of this musket is more like a gas gun in the technological world that is similar to a toy. The power used by gas guns is flammable gas, which can be natural gas, the source of "gas", or other flammable gases. The basic principle is to first inject gas into the air chamber, and then ignite it with an electronic lighter. The flammable gas burns in a closed space to produce an explosive effect, and the front warhead is pushed out.
Of course, due to air tightness and other issues, whether it is a firecracker or a gas gun, its power cannot be compared with that of a firearm with integrated ammunition. However, thanks to Ye Zan's guidance, Yu Leyang's musket has basically solved those flaws, and its power is similar to the standard pistols in the early technological world.
In other words, the initial velocity of the bullet coming out of Yu Leyang's gun can reach a speed of three to four hundred meters per second. This kind of speed is something that almost no one can avoid in the world of science and technology, but in this world of monasticism, it may not be enough.
If we say that people in this world are quite familiar with "hidden weapons" like guns. In fact, with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it is possible to avoid musket bullets from a certain distance. However, Fan Qing was not far away from Yu Leyang, and he rushed over at a very fast speed. In addition, he was unprepared, so he was hit by Yu Leyang's shot.
Moreover, unless the musket bullet hits a vital point, the wound caused will not be too serious. The bullets Yu Leyang used were not the kind of DUM bullets that would make holes, but just ordinary pointed bullets. Therefore, this shot hit Fan Qing's lower abdomen, which caused a bloody hole in the lower abdomen. According to the medical level of this world, it was not considered a serious injury.
In fact, if Fan Qing had been more ruthless, he could have persisted and continued to stab Yu Leyang with his sword, and maybe even killed Yu Leyang by surprise. Unfortunately, out of fear of the unknown, Fan Qing immediately became confused after feeling severe pain in his abdomen. He knelt down on the ground with his legs weak.
After falling to his knees, Fan Qing discovered that his injury, apart from the severe pain still felt, was not as serious as he had imagined. However, it was too late to react. He had already lost face in public. He could only look at Yu Leyang bitterly, gritted his teeth and said, "You used a hidden weapon!"
It's strange. In a life-and-death fight, everyone uses all possible means, but people have developed the concept that using concealed weapons is despicable.
It is impossible to verify when this concept was developed. The core idea is probably that "using a concealed weapon is a sneak attack when someone is not prepared, so it is a despicable and shameless act." But, to be honest, even if two people fight face to face, they really only use "upright" swordsmanship. But the person who wins in the end is not because the moves he uses make the opponent unable to guard against them
If you have to use moves that the other party can defend against, then in the end this kind of fight will probably involve a battle of cultivation and physical strength. But the problem is, if your cultivation level is higher than the other person's, or your physical strength is better than the other person's, isn't this something the other party can't "defend against"
In fact, it is so despicable to accuse the other party of using hidden weapons. Ninety-nine times, it is because you have suffered a loss with hidden weapons and to find a high-sounding reason for your failure.
Therefore, even though people have this concept, there is no specific rule that does not allow the use of hidden weapons in the competition. After all, the use of talismans and magical weapons is allowed over there, so it makes no sense that concealed weapons cannot be used. Moreover, everyone is competing face-to-face in the ring. If you are unable to guard against the opponent's hidden weapon in this situation, you can only blame yourself for your own lack of ability.
"Hidden weapon? With such a loud sound, you call it a hidden weapon?" Yu Leyang pointed the gun at the opponent with a smile. He himself also knew that the fact that his shot did not hit the opponent's vital point meant that the opponent had not completely lost his combat effectiveness, so he did not get carried away just because the shot hit.
"You!" Fan Qing's face was very ugly, partly because he could not refute the other party, and partly because he was injured and lost blood.
"Although your injury is not very serious, if you don't admit defeat, you will bleed to death." Yu Leyang shook the musket in his hand, pointed the muzzle at the opponent's head, and then said: " And, next time, I won’t just shoot you in the stomach.”
"I... I admit defeat!" Fan Qing said unwillingly.
Although he, Fan Qing, didn't know what Yu Leyang's hidden weapon was, he had experienced it personally and had some understanding of the power of the hidden weapon. Therefore, he knew very well that if the other party really shot the hidden weapon on his head next time, his life would really be at stake here.
More importantly, as Yu Leyang said, although Fan Qing's injuries were not fatal, they could not be left alone for a long time. Even if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm has a much stronger physical body than ordinary people, he does not have the ability to heal himself quickly, and he will die if he loses too much blood.
Fan Qing staggered off the stage, and his fellow disciples beside the stage immediately stepped forward to help him and check the wounds on his abdomen.
Not to mention how Fan Qing dealt with the injury, Yu Leyang stood on the ring, holding a musket in his hand and looked at the other people under the ring, and said: "Is there any other fellow Taoist who wants to come and spar with me?"
The disciples from various sects who were watching in the audience still didn’t quite believe the reality in front of them. They had all seen Fan Qing take action before, and watched with their own eyes as Fan Qing defeated three opponents in succession at extremely fast speeds. However, no one expected that this would be a turn of events, and in the blink of an eye, Fan Qing himself would be defeated instantly. In fact, many people in the audience did not see clearly how Fan Qing lost.
Of course, everyone in the audience also heard the conversation between Fan Qing and Yu Leyang. Therefore, even if he didn't see anything clearly, he could still guess that the hidden weapon Fan Qing mentioned must be the strange weapon in Yu Leyang's hand.
"I'm here to teach fellow Taoists some clever tricks!"
Finally, when Yu Leyang and others were getting impatient, a loud shout came from the onlookers under the ring. Then, I saw a disciple of Ziyang Sect, separated from the onlookers on the left and right, and rushed to the ring in one stride,
"It turns out he is a fellow Taoist from Ziyang Sect." Yu Leyang said with a smile.
"I am Li Mingxin of the Ziyang Sect!" This Li Mingxin is also quite a thief. After knowing his name, he did not immediately start fighting with Yu Leyang, but continued to ask: "This is my fellow Taoist, before we compete with each other, Could you please introduce to us this strange magic weapon in the hands of fellow Taoist?"
If it is a real life-and-death fight, it is obviously very unrealistic to ask the opponent's trump card like this. Only a fool will leak his trump card to the enemy. However, now in this arena, everyone is just competing. To put it more loftily, it is called "discussion", and to put it more ordinary is "communication". Since it is communication, it is not too much to ask about the other party's methods.
For example, some people like to introduce their weapons in detail before the competition, from the material to the weight to the length and breadth, and even which famous master made it, what opponents' blood they have "drinked", etc. Although people who do this are actually doing it to show off, from another perspective, it can be regarded as a kind of communication.
And Li Mingxin's idea was to let Yu Leyang himself tell all the secrets of that strange weapon.
"Haha, this..." Yu Leyang was not a fool. He naturally knew what the other party was planning, so he shook the musket in his hand and said, "This thing is called a musket. The gun is two feet eight inches long and weighs thirty-two inches." It is made of ancient Huangshan copper essence and has been cast for seventy-seven forty-nine days and a total of thirty-one processes! Well, that's enough detail."
Just listening to Yu Leyang's description, it seems that the introduction is quite similar, as if he is really introducing some amazing weapon. However, there is no useful information in these descriptions. Knowing the length and weight is of no use. What about ancient Huangshan copper essence? Although copper essence is relatively rare, it is also relatively common in the world. It is a very common metal in the monastic world, and any piece can be said to be from the ancient period. As for how many days it took and how many processes it took, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not.
After listening to Yu Leyang's introduction, how could Li Mingxin not know that the other party was playing tricks on her? Her face suddenly darkened and she said in a deep voice: "Since fellow Taoist Yu doesn't want to tell me, I can just say it bluntly, why are you teasing me and me like this?" Fellow Taoists!"
Although Li Mingxin was unwilling, he also knew that he would not be able to find out anything by asking, but in the end he did not forget to push Yu Leyang to the opposite side of the public. And his words really worked. The disciples of various sects who were watching in the audience were originally a little disappointed, but after being guided by Li Mingxin, they all felt that they had been teased by Yu Leyang.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please come down first and let me meet this arrogant man first!" someone shouted from the ring.
"That's right, it's just that he used a hidden weapon to sneak attack Daoist Fan, and he was lucky enough to win. He actually dares to tease us like this, let's see what he is really capable of!" Everyone under the ring was also filled with indignation. Then he yelled and cursed.
Of course, these disciples of various sects had no good impressions of the people of Yuqing Sect, so they were so easily incited. In fact, Li Mingxin's words just gave everyone a reason to yell openly. After all, everyone is a righteous sect and cannot yell without reason.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you see that the other fellow daoists can't wait. Do you want to compete with me? Otherwise, let's switch to other fellow daoists." Yu Leyang was not irritated by the words of the people under the ring, and still looked relaxed. Asked Li Mingxin.
In fact, this musket is not a rare thing for Yu Leyang, and it is far from being a real trump card. The real trump card in Yu Leyang's hand is the floating cannon that he took out at the stall of "Magic Weapon Looking for the Master" to protect Ye Zan and the little loli. Now this musket is just the first weapon he successfully made after learning what Ye Zan taught him. It can be regarded as a debut.
Therefore, even if Yu Leyang really tells these people the information about the musket, it will not have a bad impact on himself.
But why should they fulfill their wishes? Yu Leyang knew very well that these sects intended to suppress the Yuqing Sect, so why should they deliberately cater to them. Friends come with good wine, and jackals come with shotguns. Since these people want to deal with Yuqingzong, it is enough to talk to them with muskets.
"If that's the case, then I have to learn from you!" Li Ming said with hatred. Although nothing went wrong, it was impossible to jump off the stage and replace someone else as others said. That would be too embarrassing. Moreover, as a challenger, when he takes the stage and then steps down, even if he does not take action, this is regarded as admitting defeat.
However, following the example of Fan Qing, Li Mingxin felt that as long as he was more careful and guarded against the opponent's strange hidden weapon, he might not be unable to defeat the opponent. Since the opponent relies so much on this hidden weapon, his own strength may be a weakness. After all, he is just an inner disciple.
After the two sides saluted, Li Mingxin did not step forward to attack. Instead, he held a sword and walked around Yu Leyang in great vigilance, trying to find an opportunity to attack.
On Leyang's side, he saw Li Mingxin spinning around him. After two or three circles, he finally became impatient. He thought to himself: I didn't want to use this trick at first, but since you want to play like this, let me do it. Come and have a try!
Thinking of this, Yu Leyang's hand holding the musket gently moved a mechanism on the musket with one finger.
Yu Leyang's movements were very small, just a movement of his fingers. No one under the ring noticed this at all. However, Li Mingxin obviously had some strength. After all, he was a direct disciple taught by his master, and he was keenly aware of Yu Leyang's actions. However, noticing the movement did not mean that he knew what Yu Leyang was going to do, but he just felt that this might be an opportunity.
After all, according to common sense, when the two sides are in a stalemate, if a person makes such a small move, it is either a distraction or a prelude to an attack. Whether they are distracted or about to launch an attack, this means that the opponent's situation has changed, which often gives the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Li Mingxin suddenly swayed, drew an arc, and wanted to attack Yu Leyang from the side. He also knew that the iron rod in Yu Leyang's hand would eject hidden weapons from the front, so as long as he avoided the direction of the iron rod, he should be safe.
"boom!"
Almost at the same time that Li Mingxin launched his attack, another explosion sounded on the ring.
