The Light, The Sword

Chapter 21: Dark night

Views:

"Okay!" With a cry, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, a few generals closer to the stone platform could not help but a buzzing in their ears, and each other was shocked.

The lingering sound didn't stop, without warning, a black lightning shot out from Niu Gao's right hand, and in a moment passed the distance of several tens of feet between him and Zhao Kuangyin.

The meteor hammer weighing more than one hundred jin pierced the sky, but it didn't make any sound.

Among the generals in the audience, there were no more than five people who could see how Niu Gao acted. ,

With Zhao Kuangyin's eyesight, every subtle change in Niu Gao's hammer could be clearly seen.

In this distance of more than ten feet, the hammer that appeared to be hit in a straight line seemed to be so vain that it was incapable of force, with twists and turns, and it drew dozens of trajectories in mid-air, locking itself in any way. Possible diversion route.

With the strong wind blowing, Zhao Kuangyin's face did not change even the slightest smile.

The hammer in his right hand was less than ten meters away from Zhao Kuangyin's body, Niu Gao and Kuer moved his right hand slightly, and the meteor hammer, which was more than ten feet away from Niu Gao, suddenly changed again. Suddenly the hammer head rotated sharply, and there was a powerful and intimidating sound. The soulful "suddenly" sound.

Even the people standing around the stone platform felt a heavy pressure on their faces. They looked up and only felt that Zhao Kuangyin was surrounded by a thick black cloud.

Obviously the sun was just right, and the generals in the audience did not know why, but in vain, a strange feeling of being in a storm, wind and thunder was aroused.

Liu Zifang's right hand slowly moved to the weapon at his waist.

He and Niu Gao are also old acquaintances, but he didn't expect Niu Gao's martial arts to have progressed to such a point after not seeing him for more than seven years.

The power of the human body, no matter how tyrannical the innate endowment is, there will always be a limit. Therefore, after the martial arts reaches a certain level, if you want to make breakthroughs, the training is no longer physical strength, but spiritual cultivation.

This is also the knowledge of the acquired and returned to the innate in the so-called dual cultivation of life and life in the Taoist secret method. According to the Taoist scriptures, the strengthened spirit can even eventually form the original fetus and the original spirit. After the human body dies, it will remain immortal until Be with the universe.

What Niu Gao has learned is naturally different from Taoist exercises, but his kungfu is derived from numerous battles on the battlefield.

Just like the real soldiers who have gone to battle to kill the enemy, they always carry a distinctive temperament.

Niu Gao's martial arts were the result of countless injustices and souls, and countless times of bloody practice.

With his shot, you can know that in these countless lives and deaths, he has already stepped into the realm of acquired and returned to the innate with the victory of will.

He is not the object of his spirit, but he has a lot of delusions, and he is obviously invaded by his spiritual power.

So he has secretly gathered all his skills, ready to jump on stage to save people at any time.

Regardless of what Zhao Kuangyin used to be, he is always the commander in the army now, and he is also a blue-eyed Shima Bole who has allowed himself to return to the army.

So no matter whether he can take the blow or not, he will rush to the stage to rescue him without hesitation.

At the center of the storm, Zhao Kuangyin had not even floated half of his clothes.

He looked at the breaking airflow, seemingly slow and eager, about to hit the meteor hammer in front of him, but he chuckled, amid the majestic howling of the meteor hammer, it still clearly spreads into everyone present. In the ears of a person.

Everyone only felt that their hearts suddenly loosened, as if the dark clouds covering this world had also faded a bit.

Zhao Kuangyin slowly held the Panlong stick from behind, and slowly tapped the meteor hammer in front of him.

Each of his postures was so slow that everyone in the audience, including Niu Gao, could clearly see his every subtle movement.

However, they all knew how fast it would take to complete such a move when the Niugao Meteor Hammer was about to arrive in an instant.

This is an unusually contradictory feeling.

Liu Zifang's hand left the knife on his waist.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the stage.

Niu Gao's face showed an expression of excitement and enthusiasm.

He lifted his right hand lightly, and the iron chain struck each other. A soft "ding" sound was heard in everyone's ears, but it was a shock.

The meteor hammer in his right hand that was close to Zhao Kuangyin's right hand, Su Er lifted upwards and rubbed Zhao Kuangyin's body.

The silent black electric lightning that followed right behind the meteor hammer in his right hand speeded up ten times in vain, hitting Zhao Kuangyin's face at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

It turns out that such a mighty right-hand meteor hammer is just a deceptive trick.

The real killer is the left-hand hammer that no one noticed under the noise.

As many people onlookers around the stone platform, their minds were completely taken away by the right-hand hammer that set off the violent storm, and no one noticed the black lightning that was truly life-threatening.

Except for Zhao Kuangyin.

He didn't even change the smile at the corner of his mouth, and the Panlong stick in his hand suddenly accelerated, slanting upwards, and picked Niu Gao's right-hand hammer handle that was flying upwards.

No one can see the change at this moment.

They only saw the sledgehammer, which was originally self-exciting upward, suddenly reversed one direction and fell heavily, hitting the left-hand sledgehammer of Niu Gao who was straight to Zhao Kuangyin's face.

There was a muffled sound of "dang", even if the bronze bell weighing tens of thousands of catties hit the iron pan, there was no such muffled sound, which was thrilling.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The two big hammers shook away at the same time, revealing Zhao Kuangyin's unchanged, smiling face.

Until this time, the generals in the audience finally remembered to exclaim: "Ah!"

Niu Gao collided with his own hands with great force, and could not help taking a step back slightly, but he became more and more prosperous and exclaimed, "Happy!

He opened his hands lightly, and the two meteor hammers flew back into his hands like a geese returning to the forest.

Scorching.

Everyone felt that this world was suddenly different.

Without the storm, there is no Liri in the sky.

An unbearable feeling of hotness shrouded this world without warning.

Dry, dull, thick bloody air, and even a faint breath of death.

It seems that in this moment, this place has become a vast desert of yellow sand dance, and there are thousands of troops and horses who have just gone through a bloody battle here, the kind of intense and irritating. The smell of blood, even if the people present are all steel soldiers who have experienced many battles, they can't help but feel a little nauseous.

Zhao Kuangyin moved.

He held the faintly bloody Panlong stick in his right hand, pointed obliquely to the sky, and slowly walked Niu Gao.

Wan Lai was all silent.

Zhao Kuangyin's light footsteps are so clear with every sound.

Niu Gao's pupils shrank slightly, looking at the cyan figure that was approaching, like a demon god outside the sky.

He actually had a faint sense of fear, even in the hundreds of births and deaths, a sense of fear and fear that has never been seen in the arrow rain knife mountain, the gun ring and the sea.

To meet with God instead of sight, the official knows to stop and God wants to do it.

When martial arts reached his state, even if he closed his eyes, he could clearly grasp the situation within a radius of tens of meters without any hindrance.

However, now that Zhao Kuangyin is walking slowly in front of him alive, he has no way of grasping his position.

He seemed to be far away, and he seemed to be close in front of him.

This illusion of distance made Niu Gao know that his rock-solid state of mind had been forcibly broken by Zhao Kuangyin's mysterious footwork.

The seventh step.

Zhao Kuangyin was especially away from Qizhang the last time he took a step.

However, when this foot fell, he was no longer ten feet away from Niu Gao.

Niu Gao could even feel the cold breath of the Panlong stick in his hand already close at hand.

Niu Gao suddenly yelled, screaming everywhere.

The two meteor hammers in his hand suddenly revolved and staggered, and a black tornado was stirred up around him on Thursday.

The suffocating and dull bloody air shrouded in this world seemed to have been cut into a narrow space by the whirlwind that appeared in vain in an instant.

All the generals under the stage had full vision, but for a moment only saw a small tornado shrouded in the dense blood cloud and fog. With their cultivation skills, it was difficult to determine who was more favorable to the situation.

However, Niu Gao knew clearly that he was already under the hood when he made a difference.

Just can't be long, soft can't be guarded.

Such a balance of power can never be maintained for too long.

However, in his heart he forgot even the fear that was just now, on the contrary, it aroused a burst of joyful feeling.

If he is strong, he is strong. If he lacks this mentality, he has already died hundreds of times in the knife and gun forest.

He let out a long laugh, and his hands vibrated each other. The scope of the steel whirlwind formed by the rapid rotation of the meteor hammer doubled in vain, and he rolled straight towards Zhao Kuangyin's figure.

Niu Gao marched and fought, and never retreated more than half a step.

His defensive method is to actively attack.

At the moment when Zhao Kuangyin was in the Meteor Double Hammer Scroll, Niu Gao was surprised to find out.

Zhao Kuangyin was gone.

Whether it is eyesight or divine consciousness.

At that moment, Zhao Kuangyin got out of his six senses.

Although he knew clearly in his heart that Zhao Kuangyin must still be on the stone platform, his six senses were intertwined, but he truly told him that Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air in this space.

Niu Gao didn't retreat but moved forward. For a while, the meteor whirlwind surrounding him disappeared. The next moment, a thick black cloud formed by two meteor hammers appeared on his head.

However, when he changed his skills rapidly, his momentum was already weakened by three points.

At almost the same time, a red lightning appeared to be generated from beyond the sky without roots and bounds, but with the momentum of thunder and invincibility, it slammed on the two dark clouds on Niu Gao's head.

There was a loud "bang", which was even more breathtaking than the impact of two hammers.

The generals in the audience retreated backwards without exception.

At this time, everyone's skill is superior, it is also clear at a glance.

Zhang Xian and Liu Zifang only withdrew slightly and stopped.

Others mostly withdrew five steps away.

There was even a trace of blood on Dong Xian's ear.

A puff of greystone and smoke filled it, gradually dissipating.

Everyone saw the situation on the stage clearly.

Zhao Kuangyin stood proudly with a stick as if he had never moved before, standing quietly on the corner of the stone platform.

Even the smile at the corner of his mouth is as if it has never changed.

However, Niu Gao in the other direction was born short.

The person with wise eyesight among the crowd could understand that Niu Gao was born by Zhao Kuangyin, who was just like a stick from the sky, and slammed into the stone platform abruptly.

Everyone couldn't help but pale in surprise.

This stone platform is made of bluestone and is extremely hard.

From this we can really know how amazing the strength of Zhao Kuangyin's rod that fell from the sky is.

No one dared to have a point and a half, and underestimated the emperor's official house in front of him.

The result of such a battle really surpassed everyone's expectations in the audience.

Zhao Kuangyin stood still, with a smile engraved on his resolute face, which made people fully feel that the odds of winning were in his hands.

He knew from the beginning that Niu Gao's real killer move was the no-frills hammer in his left hand.

After the martial arts cultivation base entered the innate realm, waiting for Ruo to embark on a path of his own.

Only this kind of straight-forward move can bring Niugao's potential to the fullest.

So he didn't fight hard at all, but just used the method of taking advantage of strength to get Niu Gao's first move and the last move to fight on his own.

The first style of the talented person was Niu Gao's recklessly fighting with himself.

And he took advantage of Niu Gao's momentary surprise, turning away from the guest, and frightening the minds of everyone present.

So although it seemed that he was smashing Niu Gao under the stone platform with a head-to-head confrontation, it was actually a way for Niu Gao to use his strength to relieve his strength. Such a scene, wait if he and Niu Gao The result of joint efforts.

Wang Guizheng came with a fifteen or six-year-old boy, but he couldn't help but be shocked by the extremely strange situation on the stage, and he was stunned off the stage.

Zhang Xian and Liu Zifang glanced at each other, and were about to jump onto the stage, pulling Niu Gao out.

Everyone present at the scene had the highest cultivation level with him. In the current situation, it is good for the emperor's official family to win unharmed, but if Niu Gao is such a brave general, if there is damage, it is also an unbearable loss for the Yue family's army.

On the stone platform, abnormal changes protruded.

At the sound of "Hulala", rocks flew into pieces and splashed everywhere.

Niu Gao is like the nine-day demon spirit who has been imprisoned for thousands of years, but finally broke out of the encirclement, carrying dust and killing intent, slamming out of the ground and standing proudly on the stone platform.

He had long forgotten that the opponent standing in front of him was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and he had forgotten that this was just a Shitai school skill, but not a fight between life and death.

In his eyes and heart, there was only the raging flames of war, and he had only one thought now, which was to knock down the opponent in front of him.

He was covered with stone powder and green dust, but could not conceal the ferocious and bloody aura, and uttered in vain, "Have fun! Take the old bull's hand again!"

He was already in the shape of an iron tower, but with this loud shout, he seemed to have grown several times bigger.

He pushed the place with both hands, and the hammer in his left hand slammed into Zhao Kuangyin who was standing still at the other corner of the ring like a meteor rushing to the moon.

The castration was so fast that the generals who were far away only felt that what was dangling in front of them was a seemingly insubstantial phantom.

However, when Niu Gao's left-handed hammer Qiqi stroked most of the distance, his right-handed hammer came first and hit the left-handed hammer heavily.

The left-hand hammer, which was already swift as a meteor, suddenly doubled its speed. The powerful wind that brought up caused the dust to rise within a few meters of the body, and the scraping of the face caused pain.

Liu Zifang took a step forward, but was forced by the whirlwind stirred by the meteor twin hammers, and his figure was frozen.

Everyone looked at Niu Gao's hammer that was full of indomitable and tragic breath, and instantly came to Zhao Kuangyin's body. There was no way to retreat, and they couldn't help feeling of powerlessness.

Niu Gao's strength was tempered in the rush of thousands of troops and horses. He emphasized fighting for his life, either from the enemy's death or his own death, and there was no room for change in the meantime.

They never expected that Zhao Kuangyin would be able to force Niu Gao to use his full strength, so no one had ever thought that this school field competition would actually come to such a life-and-death situation.

The hammer was already close to Wing Chi, and there was no sound, but Zhao Kuangyin could smell the faint breath of death attached to the hammer.

He could even clearly see the masses of blood on the hammer, and he was jumping for joy, as if he was rushing for a heroic death!

There is absolutely no superfluous change, but it embodies all of Niu Gao's skill, effort, spirit, and even life.

That was Niu Gao's wholehearted blow.

In the swift black whirlwind, the meteor hammer was spotted with blood stains, marking a large swath of bright and dazzling large beaches of blood.

The generals couldn't help but feel anxious to hide their eyes.

Zhao Kuangyin finally put away the smile at the corner of his mouth.

With a long laugh, he suddenly grew longer.

He is only slightly longer, but just like his body is in that moment, in vain it seems that he is going to fill the whole world.

A muffled howling suddenly resounded from Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

The voice was low and sweet, but everyone, including Niu Gao, who was urging the meteor hammer with all his strength, had the urge to kneel and worship at that moment.

That is the voice of the Dragon's Roar that is truly ruling the world.

Everyone in the audience could clearly see that a scarlet dragon with flying scales appeared out of thin air from Zhao Kuangyin's hands, winding and straightening, directly facing the meteor hammer that was so swift that it seemed to have surpassed the speed limit. .

Quiet!

At that moment, time seemed to stop.

No one expected that the two violent energies collided, and there was no sound.

With a sound of "dang", the meteor hammer in mid-air suddenly seemed to have lost all its weight. It was agitated, knocked out the sky, and stood on the corner of the stone platform. Flanking the past.

"Oh!", "Not good!"

The generals in the audience made sounds that were of the same meaning, although they were different from each other.

However, even Zhang Xian and Liu Zifang, the most powerful of them, felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Niu Gao's whole body was very collapsed, looking at the two meteor hammers that hurriedly struck. At that moment, the only thought that floated in his mind was actually so far away that he had originally thought he had forgotten when he was a kid playing fish and dogs when he was a child. day.

"His grandma, is the old cow dying?"

He closed his eyes.

For a long time.

Suddenly there was a thunderous cheering around.

"Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!"

Zhao Kuangyin held a Panlong stick in one hand, but gently lifted Niu Gao's two giant hammers in the other. It looked like a god, standing there incomparably unrestrainedly.

Niu Gao opened his eyes and stood blankly for a while.

Zhao Kuangyin handed the meteor hammer to Niu Gao, and said with a smile: "General Niu..."

Niu Gao did not stretch out his hand. Instead, Hu Er turned over and bowed: "Lao Niu is convinced by the emperor. From now on, Lao Niu is willing to follow the emperor to the death, to expel the captives, and to kill all the golden dogs. Dead end!"

Everyone around the stone platform knelt down almost at the same time: "I am waiting to swear to the death to follow the emperor's official house, fight the enemy bravely, expel the golden dog, and die!"

The rising blood of the man rushed so hard that even the scorching sun in the sky would be dimmed a bit.

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and laughed, his chest filled with pride.

With such a united steel army in hand, why be afraid of the army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves.

Wang Gui brought the young man up close and bowed: "Your Majesty, this young man is familiar with the terrain near the Dragon King Temple..."

He did not hear the emperor's official response for a while, stopped, and raised his head, only to see Zhao Kuangyin raising his head, staring silently at the large cloud next to the scorching sun.

Zhao Kuangyin Huer smiled softly: "Look at this, there will be a big storm tomorrow!"

Wang Gui looked at him as if talking to himself, did not dare to speak, but he heard Zhao Kuangyin slowly ask: "Wang Gui, what do you say?"

Wang Gui raised his head, stared at the sky for a long time, and bowed in response: "Yes!"

The commander of the army must naturally understand the technique of observing the sky and observing changes. In early summer, when thunder and rain are frequent, changes in the weather have a huge impact on the marching formation, and it is inevitable.

Zhao Kuangyin moved his gaze to the sword-like young man who exuded a murderous air although he did not wear a military uniform, and asked with interest: "This is..."

Wang Gui hurriedly replied: "This brother is a young hero. After Marshal Yue returned to Beijing, the Jiangbei Rebellious Army scattered. Among them, the leader of the East Road Rebellious Army was captured by Zhang Guoan. This brother used to serve under Geng Jing’s account. So I organized more than fifty rides for young men, flew across the river, broke through fifty thousand golden soldiers, rescued back to Geng Jing, and returned directly to Zhang Guoan’s head. It’s a pity that he often went to the Supervisory Army at that time, not only did he not add them To appreciate the performance is to demote him to the kitchen to boil water."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly, and it seemed that Liu Zifang and Liu Zhishun's encounters were not rare.

Wang Gui raised his head and continued: "Moreover, he is very familiar with the situation in the Longwang Temple area!"

Zhao Kuangyin's gaze was fixed on the young man who was looking at him with reverence, and suddenly asked with a serious face, "Are you afraid of death?!"

"Fear!" The young man was stunned, then responded loudly and crisply.

Wang Gui looked at the young man a little unsure.

The boy laughed: "But what I fear most is not to die in a fierce battle against the Golden Dog!"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and shouted loudly, "Your name!"

The young man had a waist and stood like a javelin, as if he wanted to engrave his figure into Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, engraving into the history of this moment.

He looked up, shouted, and drank:

"Xin Qiji!"
