"That's right, I appreciate your sympathy on this matter, but it's the same thing! This Mr. Hu is a man who does big things, you can't touch him."
At this time, another person rushed out from the darkness, it was Ma Kui from Wang Wu Escort Bureau. He immediately shouted angrily:
"You have the nerve to say that? Didn't Mr. Xu, who we escorted, just eat a few pieces of beef? You people in the Xiang Cult insist on saying that you have broken the rules and you will be punished with incense! You can't leave without three hundred taels of silver!"
"Is there such a royal law in the world? Xie Laosi Moslem Hall has been selling braised beef for more than 60 years right under the Imperial City. The emperor, princes and ministers have not said a word. You Xiangjiao must set your own rules.
, that’s nothing, isn’t it just a money grab under another name!”
Li Ju's face flashed green and he said:
"No rules!"
As he spoke, he aimed a palm at Ma Kuixu and pressed it down. It looked like it was the air-splitting palm that had made Fang Linyan so embarrassed before!
Seeing this, Wang Wu suddenly took a step forward and punched out! Suddenly, there was a bang in the air like a cannon, but Fang Linyan noticed that Wang Wu obviously took two steps back, but Li Ju was motionless!
At this time, Li Ju said proudly:
"Wang Wu, you were about to lose half a move to me two years ago. Now that I have obtained the secret book of Wusheng Old Mother, your strength has reached a higher level! Seeing that it is not easy for you to practice swordsmanship, I will give you a way out! Then
Just join my sect, and the eight ambassadors under my sect will be led by you."
Wang Wu's answer was very direct: he stretched out his hand and grabbed the Yan Ling Dao in front of him, then dropped his shoulders and fell from the horse, showing a very unique starting posture, and at the same time said:
"Ma Kui, take Mr. Hu away!"
After hearing this, Ma Kui and Fang Linyan said in unison:
"no!"
Wang Wu said sharply:
"You here will only disturb my mind, but you will distract me from taking care of me! Ma Kui! If you still recognize me as your big brother, just be obedient and take him away immediately!"
When Wang Wu shouted, Ma Kui immediately trembled all over, gritted his teeth and grabbed Fang Linyan and left.
To be honest, Fang Linyan didn't want to leave at this time, but the strength of this man from the escort agency was amazing, and he dragged him away. At this time, Fang Linyan's three points of strength were really not of much use, and actually made him unable to leave.
Can't help myself.
Li Ju snorted coldly and said:
"I don't know how to praise!"
As he spoke, he suddenly rushed forward like a ghost, but Wang Wu also rushed forward at this moment! The light of the sword suddenly shone out!
The two were separated as soon as they touched. Li Ju seemed to have hit a solid wall, and he rolled back with a few hollow somersaults. Only Wang Wuhengdao stood on the spot, as if his whole body was integrated with the earth.
One body!
But this time it seemed that Li Ju was stopped by Wang Wuhengdao, but Li Ju was unscathed after landing. He dusted off his clothes and came forward again, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said:
"Good swordsmanship. This swordsmanship has the shadow of the southern sect, but it also has the majesty of the northern sect in its bones. It seems that you have come to the threshold. If you can get over it, you will establish a sect.
the Grand Master!"
"But, if you can't get over it, you will still be a swordsman after all!"
The Broadsword Wang Wu didn't speak, he just sheathed the sword silently, and then showed the unique starting position again! Seeing his movements, it was as if he was melting into one with the earth.
Li Ju attacks again!!
But the bright sword light was still as brilliant as before, blocking Li Ju like an iron wall.
But at this time, Li Ju, who had returned home from defeat, burst out laughing:
"Hahaha, your sword is indeed amazing, but it has lost the subsequent changes. It seems that you have only just begun to figure it out, and you haven't had time to perfect it at all."
"The yin does not last long and the sun does not grow. With just this sword, you can stop me once or twice, but you cannot stop me ten times or eight times! As long as I break through your defense, today next year, then
It’s your memorial day!”
Wang Wu said nothing, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he stared at the edge of his blade, but he knew very well in his heart that Li Ju had hit on his weakness.
Not to mention blocking the opponent eight out of ten times, even the next time, Wang Wu is not sure that he can block it.
Because this knife is basically a semi-finished product!
After Wang Wu had that meal with Fang Linyan two days ago, he suddenly had a strange impulse in his heart:
The young Master Hu Liu in front of me had a bad reputation and was called a playboy. But now he has found his own path and is working hard to serve the country. He regards money as dirt! Serve the country and the people.
Die without regrets.
And I have wasted half my life and have accomplished nothing so far! Life is short, I should try my best to leave something in this world and let other people know that I have been here!
With this impulse, Wang Wu immediately realized something. He spent his whole life studying sword skills, but now he realized that what he had learned all his life seemed too complicated and had no system at all. It was time to eliminate the waste and retain the essence, and develop his own
road.
So, with the support of this flash of inspiration, there was this sword at this time. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to temper it, so I had to use the previous half move!
Seeing Li Ju step forward again, Wang Wu also had distracting thoughts in his mind:
"Am I going to die here today?"
"I have experienced countless hardships and obstacles in my life, and this is my end!?"
"It doesn't matter if I die, but I didn't delay it for enough time at all! Li Ju is a ruthless person and will retaliate. He will definitely not let Master Hu Liu go."
After thinking of this, Wang Wudou was so excited that he couldn't help but think of the scene where the third master of the Qiao family, Mr. Song, and Fang Linyan solemnly worshiped each other!
"No, Mr. Hu Liu cannot die! He is the most important link to support Mr. Song's great cause. I can see that he is the only one who supports Mr. Song wholeheartedly, at all costs! And the Qiao family is speculating."
"With the death of Master Hu Liu, Master Song's great cause will definitely come to nothing! The Japanese people's arrogance is so arrogant at this time, and the court is also ignorant at this time. The tragedy that Master Song and Master Hu talked about is very likely to happen."
"Are we, the citizens of the great country of China, going to be bullied by a small country like Japan, and have tens of millions of people fall into dire straits, and be humiliated by Japanese pirates again?"
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Wu suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of sadness and indignation in his heart!
He had heard Mr. Shu mention these two lines of poetry more than once: "The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is springy with deep vegetation." But he had just heard it before, and it seemed that some strange emotions arose, but they were quickly annihilated.
He was caught up in the chatter and laughter of the tea guests and the applause of others.
But at this time of life and death!
In this ghost-like place,
In this hot summer night,
In this extremely dangerous moment,
Forty-nine-year-old Wang Wu understood for the first time what righteousness is, and for the first time he understood the feelings of family and country!!
He suddenly took a step forward and slashed with his sword!!!!
At this moment, Wang Wu's heart was empty. There were no moves, no fear, and no hesitation. He just followed his body's instinct and couldn't help but make such a slash!
This was also the first time he took the initiative to attack Li Ju.
In Li Ju's eyes, when he first saw Wang Wu taking a step forward and taking action, he sneered in his heart.
Because under normal circumstances, if Wang Wu takes a defensive position, he can hold on for a while longer, but if he only attacks but does not defend at this time, it is equivalent to directly giving away his head.
Objectively speaking, Li Ju's strength at this time is indeed higher than that of Wang Wu. Li Ju is already an out-and-out grandmaster, while Wang Wu is still lingering at the gate of the grandmaster.
Therefore, Li Ju did not retreat but advanced instead. With a sneer on his lips, he aimed at Wang Wu and rushed over.
In his eyes, Wang Wu's sword was really ordinary. He was 100% sure that he could dodge this sword, and then hit Wang Wu's throat core with a "Crane Peck" to kill him!
But when Li Ju was halfway through the charge, he suddenly felt that something was not right. Why was the speed of this knife faster than he expected?
When he rushed closer to Wang Wu, he discovered to his horror that he seemed to be unable to dodge the knife. What the hell was this?!
Li Judou let out a strange scream, then jumped out with a backflip. When he landed, he couldn't hold the stake under his feet, staggered back several steps, and then sat down on the ground in embarrassment.
You can see that a yellow talisman cut in half is slowly falling in the mid-air, and then blue flames appear and burn.
It was an amulet that Li Ju had asked for before that came into play, exploding with a burst of power at the critical moment, allowing Li Ju to narrowly avoid the knife.
A grandmaster like Li Ju was actually forced into such a panic by Wang Wu's sword! The key point is that Wang Wu was only at the half-step master level at this time, at least one level lower than him.
At this time, Li Ju was shocked and angry. He took a deep breath and said:
"Wang Wu! You actually use sorcery!!"
In fact, Wang Wu's sword sounds very magical. In fact, it is similar to an airplane flying in the sky. When you see it from a distance, do you feel that it flies very slowly? It takes a long time to fly only one finger long.
distance,
When it gets closer and closer to you, you start to feel that something is wrong.
The crawling ants turned into flying flies, but I still felt that I could easily avoid them.
However, when it approaches within a hundred meters and swoops down at you with surging sound waves and majestic momentum, the thousands of words in your heart can only be condensed into two words:
"Fuck!"
Wang Wu's knife was actually caused by the above process, which was then condensed and accelerated by N times.
***
Faced with Li Ju's accusation, Wang Wu felt at a loss, because in jargon, this sword was the legendary sword in front of the mind!
Usually, the thought of killing someone with a sword first comes to mind, and then the brain sends instructions through the nerves to control the hands to kill the person.
But when Wang Wu made the sword just now, his thought in his heart was not to use the sword, but to protect Fang Linyan's safety and prevent the tragedy of alien invasion, the destruction of his family and country, the fall of mountains and rivers, and the tragedy of blood and fire.
This knife came naturally and was used naturally!!
This is the same as when a person accidentally falls: you don’t need your brain to give instructions at all, your hands will automatically support the ground.
Drawing a sword has become a conditioned reflex or instinct for Wang Wu.
Wang Wu himself is a swordsman genius. He lost his father at the age of three and started practicing martial arts at the age of five. He has been practicing hard for forty years, so he turned his sword skills into instinct. In line with his life experience, and more importantly,
Infected by his current state of mind, he forced out this magical knife.
It is also the knife that leads to Taoism!!
Use the sword to enter the master's way!!!
At this moment, looking at the extremely embarrassed Li Ju, Wang Wu himself was a swordsman genius, and he suddenly realized it as if he was enlightened. In the dusty memory, the words of his teacher Li Fenggang when he was studying art welled up from the depths of his memory:
".Drink!"
Wang Wu, who was still a teenager, slashed with a loud voice! Then he looked at the master next to him expectantly.
His mentor Li Fenggang stood beside him wearing a piece of clothing and smoking a dry smoke. He looked like an ordinary haggard old farmer. He shook his head simply and said:
"Your sword looks good, but actually it has no intention! When you fight someone, you will definitely lose."
Young Wang Wu said blankly:
"Master, what is sword intention? I don't understand."
Li Fenggang walked slowly for a few steps, and then said seriously:
"This is actually very understandable. If you think about it, if your enemy has disheveled hair and blood on his face, he raises a knife and rushes at you like crazy, and sees you as the enemy who killed your father, how do you feel about this?
Is the opponent scary?"
Wang Wu said in astonishment:
"Of course it's scary!"
Li Fenggang spoke faster:
"Then think about it again. When you drew the sword, you were facing your enemy, and this person also killed your whole family. When you slashed with the sword, were you desperate and crazy?"
Wang Wu slapped his head fiercely:
"Ah? Ah! I understand! It turns out that the intention of the sword is the intention of the heart, and it is hatred! Master, why don't you speak?"
Li Fenggang showed a look of recollection:
"The sword is also Tao, it is a murder weapon, and it is an out-and-out vicious weapon. Therefore, using hatred to control sword skills is actually a natural fit, and you will make rapid progress with practice. My master taught me this way back then.
, wield the sword with hatred, and strike with ruthlessness."
Having said this, he tightened his clothes a little desolately, and then found a place to squat down:
"However, now that I am older, I feel that this path may have gone astray and narrowed."
"The only thing you said just now is right. The intention of the sword is the heart, but the intention is not just hatred. However, I have been thinking hard since ten years ago. If the intention of the sword does not contain hatred, then what should it be?
Where is the way?"
Young Wang Wu said in confusion:
"Master, what you said is so profound that I can't understand it."
Li Fenggang took a puff of dry smoke and said hesitantly:
"Well, with your talent and hard work, you should have encountered this hurdle before you were fifty. By then you would have understood how confused Master is now."
"What I feel now is that I am only one step away from the top of the mountain, but this step is so close to the end of the world! If you can take this step, you will be a great master. If you cannot take this step, you will be just a martial artist."
