On the arena, the disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm were still demonstrating their abilities. The Jade Qing Sect was not able to crush the entire crowd. After all, each sect also had some outstanding disciples. But generally speaking, the ideas of Taiyi Sect and other sects against Yuqing Sect are basically impossible to realize unless they are willing to pay a higher price.
Yu Leyang has won five games in a row, but the details of the musket in his hand have been basically figured out by others. Just by looking at his use in the ring and the injuries of those who lost, you can have a more comprehensive understanding of the power and some characteristics of the musket.
At this time, a Ziyang Sect disciple jumped onto the ring where Yu Leyang was. This arena is no longer the one where Yu Leyang started, but another arena where he just defeated other champions.
According to the rules, a person challenges the ring master and wins. After becoming the new ring master, as long as he defeats another challenger, he can leave the ring and challenge other ring masters. In fact, such rules are not particularly beneficial to anyone. While you can choose your opponent, you will also be chosen by others.
Staying on the stage means you will always be picked by others. Of course, if your strength is not that good, the first challenger may be able to pick you off. From this point of view, it is no different from changing arenas according to the rules. At most, it is just a voluntary or involuntary change. And if you can always hold on to the ring, it means that you are capable enough. It doesn't make any difference whether you change the ring or not. Anyway, even if you lose in the end, it is just a loss.
No matter what happens behind the scenes, this discussion conference is based on the principle of fairness at least on the surface, and will not formulate rules that will obviously be exploited.
However, there are many factors that can affect victory or defeat. It is not just the subtraction of two people's combat power values that will determine who wins and who loses. Therefore, no matter how fair the rules are, they may be exploited in practice. This is called the reasonable utilization rule.
If you keep defending, the challenger's strength will basically rise in a ladder until one person defeats you. And in this way, the upper limit of your strength will be known to everyone. So next, after you fail, you will of course go to other arenas and choose those champions that you are confident of defeating, but the challenges you will face next will most likely be based on your upper limit.
In addition, in the process of fighting, when you face increasingly stronger opponents, you will definitely continue to reveal your trump cards, and gradually reveal all your trump cards in front of everyone. And if you use the rules to constantly change arenas and choose opponents you are confident about, you can at least slow down the time and use your trump cards more efficiently.
It was because of this that Yu Leyang won five battles in a row with a primitive musket. In these five battles, there are three opponents, all chosen by him. Naturally, he will not pick the more difficult opponent.
However, after these five battles, the role of the musket as a trump card has been exhausted. Some of the characteristics of the musket were displayed in front of everyone without reservation. For example, the time interval between single shots, special actions when shooting, the power level of bullets, etc. are no longer secrets. This allows those who are concerned to take targeted precautions, or even take advantage of these characteristics.
This disciple of the Ziyang Sect jumped onto the ring and exchanged names with Yu Leyang, then raised his hand and offered a talisman, and the entire ring was suddenly enveloped in clouds and mist. No matter how powerful your musket is, no matter how difficult it is to dodge the bullets, you still have to be able to hit the target. Now, the entire arena is shrouded in clouds and mist. Even if the two sides stand face to face, it is difficult to see each other. How can they shoot with muskets.
Although, Yu Leyang's gun can be switched to shotgun mode and can carry out scatter attacks in an area. However, the range of this scattering is actually quite limited, and it can only attack the front of the musket.
"Oh, I also thought of this method. I was about to go up and deal with the shameless guy who only knew how to use concealed weapons. Unexpectedly, I was overtaken by fellow Taoists from Ziyang Sect." Looking at the thick clouds on the stage, people below the stage One of the audience members said with regret.
"There is actually another way to deal with that shameless person." A person next to him said slightly mysteriously.
"I don't know what the method is. Can fellow Taoist please tell me?" Several people around asked curiously.
"It's very simple. The power of the hidden weapon is actually not very strong. As long as there is a defensive weapon that can block his hidden weapon, it will be easy to deal with him." The man had nothing to hide and was very proud. He spoke out his own method.
However, upon hearing this answer, several people around him gave a unanimous "boo" sound and turned their heads to look at the ring. No one paid any attention to that person anymore.
On the ring, Yu Leyang, who was trapped in the clouds and mist, did not show any panic at this time. He quickly left his original position and reached out to take out something from the treasure bag at his waist.
This thing has a lens and a clip for hanging on the ear. There are some faint runes on the lens and the clip. It looks a bit like a combat power detector in a certain comic. Like the musket, this thing was also made by Yu Leyang himself. It is not as advanced as a combat effectiveness detector. It just uses Professor Ye Zan's infrared thermal imaging principle and is considered a simple version of an infrared detector.
Since you have chosen to play with firearms, you will encounter some situations when using firearms. Naturally, you must think of how to deal with them in advance. This method of using thick fog to block sight is not unusual in this world. It can be said to be very simple and very common. A talisman, a magic weapon, or a spell can all produce such an effect. Therefore, how could Yu Leyang not be prepared for this situation, how could he be caught off guard.
Yu Leyang raised his hand and hung the infrared detector on his ear. The scene on the ring immediately appeared in the lenses in front of him, and a red figure was flying towards the position where he just stood. Fortunately, when he was doing these actions, he had already left the position in advance, otherwise he might not even have time to shoot, and he would be beaten to death by the opponent.
However, just like using poison, you must first have an antidote. Since the opponent uses this method, he will naturally not let the thick fog become an obstacle to him. He must have a way to lock the target position. When rushing towards Yu Leyang, he had noticed that the target had left the place, and accurately grasped the target's movement trajectory, so he immediately changed direction midway and went towards the target.
At the same time as the opponent changed direction to attack, Yu Leyang had already raised the musket in his hand. He could defeat or even kill the opponent with just a flick of his finger. However, at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the Ziyang Sect disciple's sword. The light dispersed all the dense fog almost instantly. At the same time, sword light shot out from the light, directly towards the Leyang was entirely shrouded in sword light.
But what's even more terrible is that Yu Leyang used an infrared detector. Although it was not the kind of low-light night vision device that is afraid of strong light, he still lost the trace of the other party under the strong light. Yu Leyang instinctively pulled the trigger, and a bang sounded on the ring. The bullet flew out of the barrel of the gun and shot forward in a straight line. After Yu Leyang fired the shot, he didn't pay attention to the result at all, and immediately swung the gun diagonally forward as a long sword.
A "choking" sound!
A ray of sword light struck the musket, and the barrel of the musket was cut off directly.
After all, this gun is only Yu Leyang's debut, and the materials used are not high-end. As he said before, the so-called ancient Huangshan copper essence is actually just an ordinary copper essence. Therefore, if you use this gun barrel to collide with the sword light, as long as the opponent's sword is not a piece of scrap metal, it is not difficult to cut off the gun barrel.
Fortunately, with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, although it seems like thousands of sword rays are flying, in fact only one sword ray is real. Moreover, with the help of infrared detectors, Yu Leyang was able to accurately capture the traces of the real sword light from among the thousands of sword lights.
Although the musket was cut off, it also bought Yu Leyang some time. With his other hand, he took out a ball from the treasure bag and threw it out. The ball flew in the air, automatically separated up and down, revealing several short barrels. Tongues of flames spit out from those barrels. Along with the continuous explosions of "bang bang bang bang", projectiles were fired one after another. Flying out.
This round ball is the floating cannon made by Yu Leyang, but its power may not be quite as powerful as a "cannon". Of course, this is an arena competition after all. If a floating cannon from the technological world were to come out, I am afraid that if one cannon were fired, not to mention being an opponent, even the arena would be blown to pieces.
In fact, from this aspect, using firearms in the arena is not entirely advantageous. You can use fists, feet, swords, or talismans and spells to control the situation. Even if you can't really get it right, it won't cause too much of a surprise. But with a firearm, the bullet can't be controlled out of the chamber. If the bullet hits the opponent's vital part, it will be very troublesome to cause serious injury even if it costs one's life.
In the human body, not only the head is the critical point, but the body also has fatal vital points, such as the heart. There are also other organs that can easily kill someone if they are penetrated by bullets. You must know that gunshot wounds are different from sword wounds. Sword wounds are straight forward, but bullets will roll over and cause cavity damage after being injected into the human body, even if it is not a vicious Dum bullet.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing too much damage, Yu Leyang specially made a batch of bullets for use in the arena competition before participating in the Tao Discussion Conference. These bullets are not unusual. They are made of a material similar to rubber. They will still hurt people when they are shot, but they will not be as serious as metal bullets.
After all, even if they are targeted by those sects, it is impossible to kill all the opponents without any scruples. From the perspective of the interests of the sect, if the Yuqing Sect wants to rise again, since it does not have the ability to directly push the world, it cannot go too far to create enemies for itself, although this may be a little uncomfortable.
Of course, even rubber bullets fired rapidly and in large numbers from floating cannons are quite terrifying.
The Ziyang Sect disciple originally thought he had seen through Yu Leyang's tricks and wanted to avenge Li Mingxin before. But he didn't expect that his opponent actually had a hidden method. When he discovered this, there was no room for him to escape. He could only wave the long sword in his hand, trying to block all the incoming bullets. However, there were too many bullets, and they were coming like a storm. How could they be blocked so easily? Fortunately, they were all rubber bullets, otherwise they would have turned him into a pile of rotten flesh, but now they only bloomed with bloody flowers on his body.
The move just made by the disciple of Ziyang Sect has dispelled the thick fog, so both Yu Leyang on the ring and the onlookers below the ring can clearly see the scene on the field. Seeing that the opponent was no longer able to resist, Yu Leyang immediately used a magic trick to stop the floating cannon from firing. Otherwise, even rubber bullets would kill the opponent.
As the firing of the floating cannon stopped, the disciple of the Ziyang Sect also fell weakly on the ring. Upon seeing this, several fellow disciples of the Ziyang Sect rushed to the ring.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, your attack is too cruel." Seeing the tragic situation of his fellow disciples on the ring, a Ziyang Sect disciple rushed up and asked Yu Leyang with an angry face.
Yu Leyang raised his hand to show off the severed musket, and said with a sneer: "Then, according to what this fellow Taoist said, if I am hit by this sword, should I say that you were vicious?"
In this arena competition, reaching the point is just an ideal state. In fact, few people can actually achieve the point. Moreover, sometimes, even if you point it out, the other party may not accept your favor, but may take the opportunity to make you suffer. Therefore, in order to determine the outcome in the arena, one side must be unable to fight anymore, or admit defeat, which can make people feel more at ease. At most, it is enough not to hurt lives.
"What's the matter? You didn't give him a chance to admit defeat, and you continued to attack even after you had clearly injured him seriously. Isn't this cruel?" the Ziyang Sect disciple said bitterly.
"Although his injuries look scary, they are definitely not life-threatening. I am already merciful enough. If he were not in this arena, he would not have suffered such an injury." Yu Leyang said After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the people of Ziyang Sect, but took the winner's card and jumped off the ring, and then went to find the next opponent.
However, Yu Leyang's floating cannon also attracted a lot of people's attention. They didn't expect that besides the musket, Yu Leyang actually had such a sharper magic weapon. It was impossible to dodge the violent storm of shots. It seems that, just like the "nonsense" that the person said before, strong defense means are really needed to deal with this Yu Leyang.
