Qi Shan keenly noticed Gu Chi’s eyes.
He asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Of course I'm fine, but you may be." Gu Chi tested him with an expression that said, "You don't have to hide it, I already know what secret you're holding," and even his tone was 100% certain.
If it was an ordinary person, he would have been tricked out long ago, even if he didn't confess completely. But who is Qi Shan? Not to mention that Gu Chi just "has no evidence", even if Gu Chi threw the evidence in his face, he can still argue and naturally won't admit it.
Not only does it not admit—
Gu Chi stared at him closely but didn't see any flaws.
Qi Shan sneered: "You are fine, how can I be in trouble?"
Gu Chi: “…”
It's okay, so why do you still remember to step on him
After being scolded by Qishan, Gu Chi had to put aside his worries and thought to himself, "It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the kindness of a good person." It's rare for him to show kindness and care about someone, but Qishan doesn't know what's good for him.
Qi Shan didn't have much energy to pay attention to Gu Chi at the moment.
He just felt very tired.
He was obviously in great pain, but he had to pretend that nothing had happened, so as not to be noticed by others. This required him to have great endurance and was very mentally exhausting. He also had to keep an eye on the battle situation, so as not to let Mr. Shen really lose his life.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Gu Chi and Kang Shi, but experience tells him that it’s more reliable to keep things in his own hands than to rely on others.
Because of Shen Tang's operation, the morale of the Allied Army, which had been declining all the way, was pulled back up. Even the war drums were more vigorous and powerful than before, and the drum beats were like a torrential rain, dense and exciting, striking everyone's heart one after another, and the effect was comparable to a shot of adrenaline.
Gongxichou was surrounded.
Surrounded by these ten-foot-tall giants, his body looked particularly petite. He looked up, his sight falling on the largest giant—this fellow was at least fifteen feet tall. On its broad shoulders stood Shen Tang, with his arms folded across his chest, looking down.
Shen Tang still had no expression on his face.
But if you look closely, you will find that Shen Tang's eyebrows have a little more gentle joy -
The air at high altitudes is indeed clean and comfortable.
Looking down at Gong Xichou is indeed more pleasing to the eye than looking up at him.
Gong Xichou held a double crescent snake-shaped halberd in his hand, and asked from a distance, "Mama, do you think these things can stop me?"
Being big doesn't mean you're good at fighting.
Although things that are larger than oneself can indeed give people a sense of oppression, in the face of absolute strength, everything is a paper tiger.
Shen Tang did not directly answer his question, but lazily lowered her eyelids, and the Motherly Sword in her right hand drew a beautiful and dazzling sword light. She made a sword flower, and the tip of the sword suddenly pointed at Gong Xichou below, and her lips slightly opened: "Strangle!"
At the command, hundreds of giants wearing armors of literary spirit took action at the same time, targeting exactly where Shen Tang's sword was pointing.
Gongxi Chou!
Gong Xichou sneered.
These soldiers and generals, who were united by literary spirit, were indeed very powerful.
In a melee, its effect is almost comparable to that of a surprise attack!
I don’t know how many soldiers would be trampled or crushed to death.
But now, they only have one person as their target, and Gong Xichou will not stand there and let them catch him. However, he really doesn't plan to hide! The long halberd swept across casually, and the next moment, the circular blade formed by the martial energy condensed from him harvested in all directions.
Puff, puff, puff—
The nearest giant's armor was easily shredded, and his legs were cut off with smooth cuts. The circular blade continued to expand with unabated momentum, but encountered difficulties at the next target.
The giant following closely behind opened his hand, and the fallen giant of literary energy in front of him turned into black and white literary energy again, and condensed into a giant beast head shield one zhang high and half a zhang thick in his hand!
Sizzle, sizzle—
The sharp blade of martial energy and the shield of civil energy entangled fiercely.
Sparks flew and the sound was piercing.
Gong Xichou kicked his feet and leaped into the air, facing the giant who was holding a huge shield and trying to crush him. Compared with the Wenqi giant, his halberd was too small. But even such a small thing could pierce the giant from front to back with one blow!
Gong Xichou: "These minions are useless!"
While he was talking, he moved several times, the halberd in his hand either pierced the head or chest of the giant, or separated their heads, limbs and torsos with a sharp blade. He killed one with one move, or killed two with one arrow, and it didn't seem to be effortless at all.
In a few breaths, dozens of giants fell down.
The remaining Wen Qi giants were not enough for him to kill indiscriminately.
Gong Xichou challenged, "Is this all you have?"
Shen Tang said slowly: "Why are you in such a hurry? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Some things should be done with careful preparation. If you are really in a hurry, you can also come up."
Gong Xichou used his halberd to cut the Wenqi giant who was attacking him from behind in half. His figure was so fast that it left an afterimage. He could be heard shouting in dissatisfaction: "Okay! You are right there, just wait!"
Allied Forces: "..."
Ah this...
They were a little skeptical, are these two really rivals
Alliance leader Wu Xian couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Sometimes when he goes out to visit friends or meet old acquaintances he hasn't seen for a long time, he doesn't talk as much as these two did today.
If Gong Xichou had not been so ruthless and Master Shen had not been in danger several times, he would have suspected that these two had deliberately fixed the match.
Gong Xichou didn't even look at those literary giants.
He only has Shen Tang as his target!
result-
When he stepped on the left shoulder of the Wenqi Giant, and thrust out with the halberd in his hand, just as he was about to stab Shen Tang, the surrounding scene changed instantly. Shen Tang in front of him also turned into a Wenqi Giant that pounced on him, and was surrounded by several Wenqi Giants!
Gong Xichou killed these minions cleanly and efficiently.
After finishing the job, he subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Tang sitting on the shoulders of the largest literary giant. The latter noticed his gaze and silently lip-synced to him. After careful consideration, it turned out to be—
graft!
Gong Xichou: “…”
Did they "transfer" him away the moment he approached? If they guessed it right, Shen Tang would reward him with a dozen gentle giants swinging huge wolf-tooth hammers. Gong Xichou was always entangled, and would be sent away again when he broke through to kill Shen Tang, which annoyed him.
Gong Xichou said: "Come straight ahead!"
Shen Tang said: "I am a scholar of Wenxin."
Why would the scholars of literary talent deploy their troops in an ungraceful manner, sweating profusely and fighting with swords and spears? Shen Tang just didn't want to confront Gong Xichou head-on, he just wanted to disgust him sincerely.
After going back and forth three times, Gong Xichou was completely irritated.
"In that case—"
Gong Xichou sacrificed the Wudan Tiger Talisman.
Dark green martial energy burst out from the Wudan Tiger Talisman and soared into the sky, and a terrifying aura spread instantly.
The soldier closest to the place couldn't even stand the pressure of the might and fell to his knees with a thud, his upper body prone. The air in his chest seemed to be squeezed out, and he had difficulty breathing. Soon, he was sweating profusely.
With a domineering beast roar, dark green martial energy fell from the sky like raindrops, densely scattered everywhere, and instantly transformed into more than 700 soldiers wearing dark green exquisite and meticulous armor. The fifteenth-level junior, the martial tiger talisman, controls 750 soldiers!
The situation was reversed in an instant, and the literary giant was surrounded.
Shen Tang's face darkened and he moved slowly and calmly.
She gave the order in a deep voice to the soldiers to gather in formation, with five people in a team, two holding shields, one holding a gun, and two holding knives.
However, although the soldiers summoned by Gong Xiqiu's martial energy are not as tall as the giants of civil energy, the armor on their bodies is quite exquisite, covering the vital parts of their bodies. A knife strike only produces sparks, let alone kills people.
Gong Xichou still had two hundred light cavalrymen who had not moved.
In terms of speed and flexibility, he is far superior to the literary giant.
but-
That's not winning.
On top of the "Star-Spreading", scholars with literary talent can borrow a certain amount of energy from heaven and earth, which can be said to be cheating in terms of endurance.
Just as she was about to make a move, a strong sense of crisis rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Shen Tang jumped onto the shoulders of the Wenqi giant without hesitation, and caught the stabbing double crescent snake-shaped halberd with her bare hands in mid-air. There seemed to be a flash of astonishment in her eyes...
graft…
Not working
Gong Xichou seemed to know her doubts.
He looked at Shen Tang's bloody palm with some regret.
If the force was greater and the speed was faster, he should have been able to break the palm, but Shen Tang dodged in time, and a strong literary energy blocked his action, so he escaped.
A safe distance was immediately created.
He said, "I have already cracked your trick."
Grafting is indeed hard to guard against.
Gong Xichou has suffered losses before, so how could he suffer the same fate again
He continued, "The same words can be used once or twice, but not three or four times. You can overestimate your own strength, but you cannot underestimate the potential of your opponent. Next time, I'll kill you!"
Although his palms were still stinging, Shen Tang still held the sword and fought with Gong Xichou: "Oh, really? You said the same thing more than once, but it seems that you never did it. The outcome is unknown, life and death are unpredictable!"
Dust was flying above the battlefield.
The clash of civil and military spirits touched everyone's heartstrings, and they were so stingy that they didn't even blink, for fear of missing out on the crucial details of victory or defeat. But some people were still muttering in their hearts -
This fight lasted a long time.
According to the current unspoken rules, the two armies can either start a war as soon as they meet, or they can stop and fight. The former is to not care about anything and just do it, while the latter is basically when both armies are caught off guard and encounter the enemy before they can reorganize themselves.
The fighting skills also give each other a buffer time.
There are usually only three games.
It is also possible that some "match-fixing" occurs, where the two teams appear to be fighting to the death, but secretly they collude with each other and deliberately play five games against each other.
The fight will stop when one side cuts off the other's head or surrenders.
A battle between life and death, every moment is lingering on the edge of death.
Maybe in a flash the head will be separated from the body.
Three games usually take less than half a quarter of an hour.
This amount of time is just enough for the army to reorganize its formation, adjust morale, and issue military orders. Once it's almost done, we can start the attack right away.
The first two games were very short.
The winner will be decided after one or two hundred moves.
The third game is different, these two are both experts in endurance!
One game is worth three games.
Alliance leader Wu Xian felt a little worried.
The longer the time is, the worse it will be for them.
It is impossible for soldiers to keep their fighting nerves tense for a long time, but the war drums cannot stop. Once they stop, morale will plummet.
To put it simply - you can be excited and fight more fiercely, but you can't be excited for too long, or your body and mind will not be able to bear it.
He asked his confidant: "How long do you think it will take to determine the winner?"
The scholar in black shirt said, "It's hard to say."
Alliance leader Wu Xian said casually, "I never thought that Lord Shen is so powerful at such a young age. No wonder he (she) is confident that he (she) can borrow land from me with his (her) first merit. Speaking of borrowing land, Gong Su, where do you think we can borrow it from?"
Rich land...
He doesn't even have time to take care of his own treasure, why would he lend it
To a barren piece
If it gets out, it will be bad for your reputation.
If such a great achievement is exchanged for a remote and poor place with no grass and few people, I will inevitably be branded as unjust.
He thought about it and couldn't find anything quite suitable.
The scholar in black shirt said, "Didn't the lord mention this before?"
Alliance leader Wu Xian was puzzled: "When did I mention that?"
The scholar in the black shirt said nothing, but just looked at him.
Alliance leader Wu Xian suddenly remembered something.
"You mean there? How can that be possible?"
The place is not poor and has many people, but most of them are bandits who have become bandits. The local customs have nothing to do with the word "simple" and almost all of them are evil. The local evil forces are in collusion with officials and businessmen, and their tactics are also vicious.
To put it bluntly, it's a tough nut to crack.
Alliance leader Wu Xian thought about the people under Shen Tang...
Wouldn't it be bad to throw people there
The scholar in black shirt saw his master's hesitation and explained, "It may not be good for others, but it is just right for them. Moreover, that place is surrounded by the master's territory. Even if they manage it well, they can't take it for themselves."
It is not difficult to borrow.
But it’s not easy to pay it back.
Haven't you seen many people who are like a grandfather when lending money, but a grandson when collecting the money? Since that Mr. Shen said he wanted to "borrow", everything should be done according to the "borrowing" process.
Borrow and return instead of borrowing and never returning!
Alliance Leader Wu Xian: "I don't think Lord Shen is that kind of person."
The scholar in black shirt said mercilessly: "But Qi Yuanliang is right."
He paused and said, "Qi Yuanliang is not a good person."
Alliance leader Wu Xian: “…”
How evil is it to let a person who is not a good person say that he is not a good person? No wonder there is a nickname like "evil plan".
As he was thinking, Wu Xian, the leader of the alliance, subconsciously turned his gaze towards Qi Shan and others. It didn't matter if he looked at them, but he saw Qi Shan, who was riding on a horse, shaking his upper body and falling off the horse.
The bloodless face was so pale that one could not help wondering: Is this person dead? He called out subconsciously.
The scholar in black shirt was startled: "My lord, what's the matter?"
Alliance Leader Wu Xian: "It seems like something happened to Qi Yuanliang."
The scholar in black shirt: “???”
Who is in trouble
To his ears these words were like the sun rising in the west.
Something had indeed happened to Qishan.
The first person to discover it was Gu Chi, who was closest to him.
Gu Chi was watching intently when his sensitive nose detected a strong smell of blood. Before he could find the source of the blood, he saw Qi Shan closing his eyes and leaning forward, about to fall off the horse.
Gu Chi was shocked and subconsciously raised his hand to take it.
Kang Shi also hurriedly jumped off his horse and came over.
The first thing I noticed was Gu Chi’s clothes.
"Your clothes?"
Gu Chi was puzzled: "Why are my clothes... "
The clothes he wore today were light in color, and the blood was particularly eye-catching.
