Li Hong didn't have much time to stay in Chengdu Mansion, so even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire in the forest today, he would still take risks. After all, tonight's assassination might very well allow him to break the Jiannan Dao officialdom. The iron wall.
So without waiting for others to stop him, Li Hong took the lead and walked into the woods. Hua Meng and Cheetah hurriedly followed. Wei Tuqi immediately took big steps and walked in front of Li Hong to clear the way for him.
The light in the forest was far less abundant than the moonlight outside, and the terrain underfoot was bumpy and bumpy, making a quick pursuit impossible.
Moreover, those men in black were obviously more familiar with the terrain in the mountains than the Guards. They were like ghosts, relying on the dense tree trunks to avoid the pursuit of the Guards and the shooting of the crossbows in their hands.
The arrows shuttled through the forest, piercing the night sky from time to time, making a banging sound, and then burying two-thirds of the arrows into the trunk of the tree, which also made the man in black break into a cold sweat.
He has never seen such a precise, ruthless, and powerful crossbow. Even those holding the crossbow can wind it up again in an instant, without giving him any chance or time to get close to the opponent.
All this was beyond his expectation. He originally thought that he was just a noble playboy who brought several people to Qingcheng Mountain, but he did not expect that he turned out to be such a well-trained person.
Some men in black who were alone and surrounded, holding long swords, relied on the feint and real moves under their hands to cooperate with each other. Under the siege of several personal guards, they were in danger. Although they were not in danger for a while, but it looked like they were not in danger for a while. With his miserable appearance, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long.
Compared with the long swords in the hands of the men in black, who occasionally used feints to confuse the Guards, the Guards soldiers were fooled by others once and for all. But even so, with the tacit cooperation, a few people honed their skills in the battle formation. The fast, accurate, ruthless and poisonous moves can also be used to regain the opportunity when the opportunity is lost.
"Keep moving forward!" Li Hong immediately ordered after listening to Yu Tuqi's description of the width of the forest.
Since entering the woods, all the people who fired crossbows were members of the Guards, and no Guardsmen were killed. They could bite the men in black as if they were walking on flat ground.
This shows that the men in black are not ambushing in the woods at all, and they do not have weapons such as crossbows in their hands. They can only rely on the long swords in their hands.
The three-foot green sword is becoming more and more popular among the rangers. Compared with the fine horizontal sword, the long sword is more flexible and lighter for them. It can switch back and forth between virtual and real. With their light steps, it can maximize Deal with enemies who are more powerful than him in martial arts to the maximum extent possible.
The horizontal sword was born for the battlefield. In addition to its main functions of cutting, chopping, and stabbing, the biggest requirement is that its hardness and toughness are good. Therefore, as the hardness and toughness increase, in order to maximize the power of chopping, splitting, and stabbing, the horizontal sword is born. Features, a good horizontal knife will naturally be a bit heavier in weight.
Just as Wei Tuqi stepped across a large tree as thick as a human waist, a cold light flashed behind the tree. A silent man in black had been hiding for a long time.
At this time, looking at Yu Tuqi who looked like a black iron tower, his first impression was that this person was extremely bulky and probably had no merit except for his strength.
So, hiding here for a moment, he couldn't hold back the murderous intention in his heart and immediately stabbed Yu Tuqi in the chest with his sword.
"Hmph!" Yu Tuqi snorted coldly. While the man in black exclaimed, he actually avoided the sword, and in the process, it did not affect the forward pace of Li Hong behind him at all.
"Your Majesty." Li Hong walked past Wei Tuqi and ignored Wei Tuqi's situation. He just uttered two words coldly, and then continued to chase forward accompanied by Hua Meng and Cheetah.
At this time, Yu Tuqi was facing the man in black who was approaching again. He still had time to answer Li Hong's order. After humming, the horizontal sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and he fended off the man in black again. The long sword that stabbed over was as bright as autumn water!
The man in black felt the sword shake, and the huge force passed through the sword to the tiger's mouth. The shock made the tiger's mouth hurt, and he almost couldn't hold the long sword in his hand.
But before he could react from the severe pain from the tiger's mouth, Yu Tuqi, with a speed that shocked him and couldn't believe it, had already drawn out the horizontal knife and chopped it off from the top of his head in an instant.
He had no time to retreat, and with nowhere to hide, he had to raise the long sword in his hand to block it. He only heard a crisp clang in his ears. When his hand sank, he saw that the long sword in his hand had been chopped in the middle. And his chest was also cut open by a horizontal knife.
Before the man in black had time to look up at the iron tower that cut open his chest, he felt as if his lower abdomen was hit by a heavy hammer. In an instant, he flew out, hit a tree with a bang, and then fell down again. On the ground, blood that could not be seen clearly in the dark flowed out from his chest lying on the ground.
"You're a little more tender!" Yu Tuqi didn't even need to look back. He stretched back the horizontal knife in his hand and felt the horizontal knife stabbing into a person's chest.
With a height of nearly two meters, he has longer arms and legs than ordinary people. Therefore, the long sword in the hand of the man in black behind him has not yet reached his back. The already long horizontal sword in his hand has already It pierced the chest of the other man in black.
The giant palm covered the face of the man in black who was sneaking up on him, and then with a push full of murderous intent, he pushed the man in black who was stuck on the horizontal knife up to the sky, and then let out a short and sharp whistle. In an instant, Lin Lin Some Guards soldiers from other places began to run in the general direction here among the dense woods.
"Just leave a few alive!" Li Hong's face was grim. This forest was neither too big nor too small.
Hua Meng and Cheetah on both sides accompanied him all the way. When he was about to reach the climax, the number of men in black also increased.
I don’t know if they just climbed up from the cliff, or if they were forced to retreat here by the Guards.
After Hua Meng and Cheetah received Li Hong's order, they began to join the battle group. Li Hong stood not far away with empty hands, quietly watching the vague movements of the men in black in the woods.
From the movements of these people, it was obvious that these people were not soldiers at all, but were completely composed of some so-called rangers. Every move and every move was extremely beautiful and agile, but the murderous aura, domineering power and strength were beyond his comprehension. Come on, if they go to the battlefield, these people will not live as long as ordinary soldiers.
Even the long swords in the hands of some men in black were fighting with sword spikes.
Sword spikes are derived from sword reins. As long swords were replaced by knives on the battlefield, the sword reins no longer played much of a role in tying the sword to the saddle or to the wrist, so the sword spikes came into being and became When literati and poets expressed their passion and ambition, they liked to wear this symbol on their bodies.
In the pre-Sui Dynasty, there were already regulations in the etiquette system: first grade, jade sword, and mountain mysterious jade. Second grade, golden sword with green jade. The third-grade men, marquises, and the fourth- and fifth-grade nobles are equipped with silver swords and beryl. The attendant has come down, Tong Zhilang has come up, and his companion is like a sword. Those who carry straight swords when entering the ancestral temple and the ascending hall, and if they are in battle, will untie their swords.
In the Tang Dynasty, the symbol of the literati sword became the tassel on the sword head, and there was no rule that ordinary people could not wear it. Therefore, at this time, the literati sword had become a fashion among the literati in the Tang Dynasty. .
Li Hong looked at the man in black who was holding a long sword in his hand. The sword tip could even hit him sometimes due to the obstruction of the woods. He was waving it around indiscriminately, and he became more and more confused about what these people were doing. It’s something!
Could it be someone with the fifth surname and Qi Wang? How could it be possible? At this time, it was too late for Qi Wang, the fifth surname, to curry favor with him. How could he assassinate him
It's just that the more he stared at the man in black with the scholar's sword, the man in black had been wielding it for a long time. When he was exhausted, or when his body couldn't bear the beating from the tip of his sword, he stopped to breathe. Only then did he see that no one around him was attacking him.
But the man closest to him looked at him as if he were an idiot, especially the look in his eyes. When he saw the long sword and the sword spike in his hand, the contempt in his eyes made him feel extremely hurt. insult.
So the man in black looked around and no one was looking towards him, and the shouts of killing were all near him. When his mind became hot, he stabbed Li Hong with the long sword in his hand, his mouth still full of murderous intent. Shouted: "Come and die!"
"Get out!" Li Hong watched coldly as the man in black rushed towards him, picked up a few leaves with dirt on his toes, kicked them towards the man in black, then raised his feet and stretched them forward in the air. The foot kicked the man in black hard on the chest.
The man in black was like a gourd rolling on the ground. The long sword in his hand was still at Li Hong's feet, but he rolled out several times.
"You?" The man in black stood up and saw the young man with an open mind easily picking up his long sword and studying the sword spike with great interest.
"The battle formation techniques and killing techniques left by our ancestors have all been ruined by idiots like you! Do you still have the nerve to use a sword? I think you are cheap enough!" Li Hong knew very well that some people in the previous life In order to keep fit, I also practice this sword with a spike.
As a result, he also figured out how to swing the sword spike at the same time as the sword body, which is a more beautiful, elegant and lighter move. It is even called euphemistically: the function of the sword spike is to confuse the enemy.
But in Li Hong's view, he doesn't know whether to confuse the enemy or not, but if he wants to dance well with the sword spike and the sword itself, especially if the sword spike does not hit himself, it is enough for the sword dancer to bear.
How could he care about which part of his body the enemy would attack
It's not just about tricking people with tricks, asking the opponent to attack him according to the agreed routine, the path of the sword and the trajectory of the sword spike, so that on the basis of tacit cooperation, he can give people the dazzling look of a master swordsman. Feel.
