Attacking the Heart
After going to sea for nearly a month, Linghu Chong, who had jumped away, quickly withered.
The initial pleasure of sailing on the sea disappeared without a trace. What I saw before my eyes was only vast waves, but still vast waves.
If you can't see the sun, you may not be able to tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
He sat on the side of the ship, holding a sword and making gestures at Lin Pingzhi, who was silent at the side.
"Hey, stop wearing that fake beard. Everyone on the ship will know that you are deliberately pretending."
Lin Pingzhi, who was known to the outside world as Wang Min, walked back to the cabin without saying a word with a gloomy face.
In the past few days of sword duels with Linghu Chong, he had also revealed his identity. Of course, he was not Lin Pingzhi's identity, but the identity of the one who had attacked Linghu Chong before.
Even if he tried his best, he still couldn't take advantage of Linghu Chong's sword.
This person is extremely talented. Not only has he mastered the Dugu Nine Swords more and more deeply, but he has also recalled Yan Shisan’s Thirteen Deadly Swords and taken the essence and integrated it into his own swordsmanship to further improve his strength!
Even if Linghu Chong were to fight Xu Zhengping now, it would be extremely difficult for Xu Zhengping to defeat him, at least with the Blood Sword Technique and Arhat Fist, he wouldn't be able to gain the slightest advantage.
Linghu Chong's only weakness was his internal strength. Due to his lack of internal strength, he could not perfect the Qi-Breaking Style. Xu Zhengping relied on his internal strength to suppress him in order to defeat him.
The Dugu Nine Swords in his hand can be regarded as the ultimate in swordsmanship skills. In the words of Dugu Qiubai, it is to transform the visible moves into the invisible moves, and there is no move to win without a move.
Since there is no trick, there is no flaw and nothing can be broken.
The only way to defeat it is to be fast enough and strong enough, so fast that Linghu Chong can't react and strong enough that Linghu Chong can't take the move.
Lin Pingzhi's evil-fighting swordsmanship was fast and demonic enough, but unfortunately, his back-and-forth routine had been figured out. Although it was fast enough, it was within Linghu Chong's prediction, so he naturally couldn't take advantage of it.
Unless he is so fast that Linghu Chong cannot react even if he predicts it, but relying on the mental skills in the sword manual is not enough, he must have enough skill support, and he must eventually return to his inner strength.
It's a pity that Lin Pingzhi couldn't calm down and only wanted to pursue quick results, but his progress in internal skills was not as good as Linghu Chong's.
If this continues for a long time, the gap between him and Linghu Chong will become wider and wider.
However, Xu Zhengping couldn't persuade him about this matter. If he let me go on for a day and the hatred in his heart didn't go away, it would be impossible for him to calm down.
Lian Xing came to the deck, and a pair of deep eyes under the copper mask stared at Xu Zhengping.
Ever since she went to sea, Xu Zhengping had to give her Ruanjin Powder every day. Even so, her Qi Hai acupoints were locked to prevent her from secretly using energy to inject poison.
But it would not hinder her activities at other times. After all, in the vast sea, she could not go anywhere except this boat.
"You have been out at sea for so many days. It seems that you are on the route to Japan, but you have deviated from the main route. What are you looking for?"
Xu Zhengping did not answer. He would not reveal his thoughts to anyone until he actually found the two magic secret books.
He only told the people on the boat that he was looking for an enemy, and would not make people think that his purpose was two secret books.
Xu Zhengping guessed that Lianxing should know about the two secret books. After all, Yao Yue was involved in this matter, so it was impossible for her to know anything about it.
However, there is still no torture method to interrogate her. If the other party would rather die than surrender, should she really be killed? In this way, she will lose an important trump card in dealing with Yao Yue, and she will definitely fight to the death with Yihua Palace.
"You seem to know the route to Japan very well."
Xu Zhengping said casually, but he was testing whether the other party had really been to the sea.
Lian Xing said: "Because my sister and I have traveled this route."
Xu Zhengping's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm, knowing that they had gone to sea for those two secret books.
"Oh? I heard that the two palace masters of Yihua Palace are extremely mysterious. They have always lived in seclusion. Apart from adopting orphan girls from the world as slaves, they rarely participate in any grudges in the world."
Lian Xing did not explain, "You said that you went to sea this time to find an enemy, but you didn't tell everyone who your enemy was or what his characteristics were.
How can I help you find your fleet? Just rely on a chart you produced that I don’t know whether it’s correct or not?”
Xu Zhengping knew that the other party was also testing him, but Lianxing was still a bit naive.
"My enemy is not a fool. He will not stay on the same island all year round. He is very cunning. If there is any slight disturbance, he will definitely change his hiding place. Cunning rabbit has three holes!
If you want to avoid alerting the enemy, the only way is to hide it from yourself. Only in this way can you suddenly appear in front of him and give him an unforgettable surprise."
While speaking, Xu Zhengping deliberately showed a fierce look in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing an extremely sadistic smile. He looked like a psychotic murderer.
This was the first time Lianxing had seen this look, and he couldn't help but be startled, and took two steps back slightly.
Just seeing this appearance was enough for her to generate many associations. She didn't need Xu Zhengping to explain the grudges between that fictional enemy and herself, and she could already figure out a lot of things in her mind.
"Being your enemy, fleeing overseas and being hunted by you for thousands of miles, is really not an easy task."
Xu Zhengping stopped smiling, and his expression returned to that of a layman practicing at home. He was fiddling with Buddhist beads in his hands and looking deeply into the sea.
"Palace Master Lianxing, what do you think of your sister Yueyue?"
"She is my sister."
"Sister is just a title. When you were a child, you climbed trees with her to pick peaches, and you fell in love with the same peach. She pushed you down the peach tree regardless of sisterly love, causing you to break your leg. You are still disabled today. Don't you hate her?
"
Lian Xing was surprised: "Why do you know these things?!"
Xu Zhengping said meaningfully: "Not only do I know this, I also know that you and she fell in love with Yulang Jiang Feng at the same time. Jiang Feng was forced to death by your sister. Do you hate her? Do you think she is too ruthless?
?”
Lian Xing was completely shocked. Her love for Jiang Feng had always been the deepest secret in her heart. Now that it was revealed in person, it was as if she had no more secrets in her heart.
She even felt a little afraid of Xu Zhengping and couldn't help but take two steps back again.
Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "Others think that the First Palace Master and the Second Palace Master are sisters and must love each other. However, in fact, Yao Yue is too strong and too proud.
She must take everything into her own hands and not tolerate any disobedience from others.
Jiang Feng's falling in love with her personal maid Hua Yuenu was the biggest challenge to her self-esteem, so she had to torture Jiang Feng crazily.
If Jiang Feng commits suicide, then he and Hua Yuenu’s two children can only be tortured, right? May I ask, how old is Hua Wuque now?”
Lian Xing said in panic: "You...what else do you know?"
"Twenty years of pact, twin brothers kill each other, huh. The idea was yours, but you were just delaying the plan, but Yao Yue really wants to see the two brothers kill each other. Are you willing to see it?"
Lian Xing could hardly stand still and felt weak all over.
Xu Zhengping approached step by step and continued: "Yao Yue is so cruel. On the surface, she seems to take good care of your sister, but in fact, she restricts your freedom and only allows you to live within her control.
You are also not allowed to struggle and be disobedient at all, otherwise, breaking your leg while fighting for peaches when you were young is a good warning, isn't it?"
Lian Xing couldn't help but think of everything that had happened in Yihua Palace over the years. She had to admit that what Xu Zhengping said was somewhat true, but she didn't dare to admit it. Yao Yue's strength made her afraid, and she didn't even dare to resist at all.
"The name is sister, but she is actually the master. She feels that she taught you Ming Yu Gong and gave you such a high status in the world, which is equivalent to a favor for you, so she is qualified to intervene in your life and death.
So she is alone all her life, forcing you to follow her and be alone with her all your life. In the cold Yihua Palace, you act like a clay sculpture and a wood carving as the cold and ruthless palace master, day after day!
But in your heart, you are not willing to accept it. Ever since you disobeyed your sister and saved Jiang Feng's child by delaying the attack, you have been resisting in some way.
You long for freedom, long to not be controlled, and long to be able to choose your own destiny.
Although the status of the Palace Master of Yihua Palace is high, everyone in that palace is cold and inhumane. You have long been tired of it and you must want to escape, but you don't dare.
Do you believe that I can give you this opportunity?
Not only for you, but also for Jiang Feng's two children, to prevent them from actually killing each other when they grow up, just to satisfy that woman's perverted pride."
Lian Xing turned his head, his eyes full of struggle, his expression complex and unspeakable, even if he wore a copper mask it was difficult to hide it.
Xu Zhengping's words were like the devil's whispers, tempting her to take a path she had never dared to take before.
She looked at the sea and gritted her teeth: "You are trying to sow discord between our sisters!"
Xu Zhengping sighed, shook his head and said: "Poor woman who dare not resist fate."
Lian Xing looked at the sea, gritted his teeth, and fixed his eyes. He suddenly remembered something and said, "The fresh water is almost running out. I remember that there is an island in the northeast corner. It is not on the chart you drew. You can go there to replenish it.
freshwater."
Xu Zhengping said calmly: "I hope there are no people from Yihua Palace there. When we go to the island, I will lock your dumb hole, take off your mask, and follow you, humbly like a loyal servant.
"
Lian Xing opened his eyes wide, "You are using me as bait!"
"Palace Master Lianxing, your experience in martial arts is indeed too shallow. Do you think I can't see that you want to seek help from the maid of Yihua Palace who is staying at sea?"
"you--!!!"
She pointed at Xu Zhengping, her voice involuntarily amplified, and she wanted to scold but didn't know how to speak, attracting the attention of the busy sailors around her.
Xu Zhengping narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted: "Let the boss of the ship come over and find a supply island..."
Then he smiled at Lian Xing and said, "It seems that there are indeed people from your Yihua Palace on that island."
"what do you want!"
"Break off the shackles and give you the freedom you want."
