Just when Lin Wanqing was losing ground and felt that she was almost unsustainable, a man's rich voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"There are yin and yang in the sky and the earth. Opposition and obedience are relative to each other. Growth and decline change."
The man's voice was not loud, but it was clear and distinct.
Master Tian and the scholar felt baffled when they heard it, but to Lin Wanqing, it was as deafening as thunder - it was the sword technique taught by her master.
Since practicing martial arts, Lin Wanqing has long been familiar with this set of sword techniques. The practice of each move and the thousands of changes in sword moves are like memories that are deeply rooted in his bones.
After only hearing these fifteen words, Lin Wanqing's sword moves changed accordingly.
At this moment, Master Tian was stabbing forward with a sword, while the scholar's steel-framed iron fan went around behind him and pointed at Lin Wanqing's Fengchi point. Lin Wanqing did not dodge, but rushed towards the long sword, holding it in her hand.
The long sword stood up and pressed against each other, keeping the long knife aside. There seemed to be a suction force on the sword body, leading the long knife to stab the wrist of the scholar behind him.
The steel-framed iron fan hit the air, but when he saw a bright long knife stabbing his wrist, he quickly withdrew his hand to avoid it.
When Master Tian saw Lin Wanqing approaching, he reached out his left hand and grabbed Lin Wanqing's waist. But at this moment, Lin Wanqing had already stretched out his left palm, turned it into a knife, and stabbed Master Tian's throat. He actually traded his injury for his life.
one move.
How could Master Tian let Lin Wanqing be stabbed? He hurriedly dodged and flew back, and at the same time, he cut the knife back towards Lin Wanqing's wrist.
"Stay in the center and guard the outside, lead the eight talents, break the strong and trap it, attack the weak and avoid it!" At this time, the man's voice sounded again.
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing let out a light scold. Taking advantage of the scholar's wrist to dodge, Master Tian retreated and returned to the sword, and jumped out of the circle surrounded by the two of them. With a light step, he actually left Master Tian alone.
The long sword in his hand turned into a sword rain and attacked the scholar.
When they fought just now, Lin Wanqing had already noticed that this scholar did not seem to have reached the grand master realm that Master Tian Da had originally mentioned, but was only a warrior at the peak of the ninth stage of Tianshu realm! At this moment, under a powerful attack, he was even more certain of his judgment.
The scholar had never thought that Lin Wanqing would dare to ignore the stronger Master Tian and focus on attacking him, so he couldn't help but become a little confused for a moment.
However, his steel-framed iron fan was a tricky weapon. It seemed to be both offensive and defensive, but it was short and dangerous. Facing the sudden and fierce attack from Lin Wanqing's long sword, it was already lagging behind.
It was very hard to resist.
At this time, Master Tian had already stabilized his steps and turned to look in the direction of the man who made the noise.
It didn't matter. After seeing the situation over there, I couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Wei Guo, who was previously arranged to stop the sick man, was now a headless corpse lying on the ground. The originally straight iron stick was now bent at one end like a fire stick. From a distance, it looked like a fire stick.
Rather, it looked like a hook being used as a crutch by the patient on the ground.
Seeing Master Tian looking at him, Qu Wuming held the iron rod in his arm, holding his right elbow with his left hand, and pointed at Master Tian with his right hand, with four fingers bent, and the index finger facing forward, and he raised his fingers at Master Tian with a smile on his face.
He said: "Come here!!"
Master Tian looked at the scholar and Lin Wanqing out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the scholar was forced to retreat continuously for a while, defending but not attacking, while Wei Guo, whose martial arts was not inferior to his own, was actually killed by the man without saying a word.
He was killed, and he couldn't help but immediately wanted to retreat.
The three of them were all fugitives who were being hunted. They got together by chance and occupied the village of Rock Hill in order to live in peace for a while. Since the situation was not good now, the best thing to do was to save their own lives - as for that.
Scholar, if he dies in battle later, it will be his fate, what does it have to do with him?
Thinking of this, Master Tian did not hesitate, turned around and left.
This turn around was so smooth that even Qu Wuming was a little surprised.
The scholar who was expecting Master Tian to come over to help in the battle was even more surprised.
Just now, the two of them wanted to capture Lin Wanqing alive, but they missed many serious injuries and opportunities to kill Lin Wanqing. Now, no matter how hard it seems, Lin Wanqing is holding on to her last breath to attack her. As long as Master Tian comes back to kill him, the scholar is sure that he will be able to kill her in three seconds.
We worked together to capture him within a few moves. How could we turn around and run away when we had such a great opportunity?!
The scholar's thoughts were racing, and he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the sick patient with the corner of his eye. When he saw that Wei Guo was dead and the long stick turned into an iron hook, his heart sank, and he immediately understood why Tian Da was in charge.
To turn around and run away.
Just when the scholar was distracted, Lin Wanqing had already drawn the long sword in her hand, and stabbed the scholar's thigh with the sword. There was only a soft pop sound, and the scholar's figure suddenly slowed down. Not yet.
When he opened his mouth to beg for mercy, the cold sword edge had already swept across his throat.
Master Tian did not dare to look back. Like a wise monkey, he mobilized all his inner strength and quickly rushed to the nearby cliff to climb up. In two or three breaths, he had already climbed to a height of three or four feet, and he was about to climb two more.
You can climb to the top of the mountain and escape.
At this moment, Master Tian had already spotted an old tree branch growing on the cliff on the upper left. With a strong movement of his feet, he jumped up like a swift, crossed a distance of more than half a foot, and reached out towards
Catch it from the old tree.
Seeing that he could climb to the top of the mountain by just grabbing the tree trunk and turning over, Master Tian suddenly felt as if someone had stabbed him in the back, and his body that was flying upwards fell rapidly downwards involuntarily.
"Ah!!!" Master Tian hurriedly tried to grab something, but his body flew down involuntarily. Looking sideways, he saw that the direction of his fall was not vertical, but falling in the direction of the direction.
to the center of the mountain road below...
Lin Wanqing, who had killed the scholar, originally wanted to continue chasing Master Tian, but at this moment, her internal strength was almost exhausted, and she could only watch as Master Tian climbed higher and higher, and fled further and further away. Who knows,
Just as he was about to climb to the top of the mountain, he suddenly lost his grip and fell, and then fell in the direction of Qu Wuming at an incredible angle.
Head Tian Da couldn't think of the reason at all at the moment, while Lin Wanqing was so happy that she didn't even think about the reason. Naturally, Qu Wuming wouldn't take the initiative to say the reason.
From such a long distance, it would be useless to attack Master Tian with the power of his spiritual consciousness, but it would be more than enough to pull him from behind.
There was a popping sound, and a cloud of dust and smoke rose from the ground.
Master Tian fell face first to the ground. He grunted as he fell, his internal organs moved, his eyes flashed with stars, and his eyes turned black. If he hadn't reached the realm of a master, anyone else would have been killed by this fall.
However, after all, he fell from such a high place and was pulled down by Qu Wuming with the power of his spiritual consciousness. Even if he was not killed on the spot, Master Tian lost most of his life.
Master Tian reluctantly opened his eyes, only to see the head of an iron rod that was only an inch thick and pitch-black getting bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then hit him between the eyebrows with a thud.
That was the last sound that Master Tian heard in his life.
"Brother Qu, how do you know my sword technique? Do you know my master?" This was the first question Lin Wanqing asked after the battle.
"Your master?"
"My master is Gongsun Auntie, who is known as the number one warrior in swordsmanship." Lin Wanqing replied.
"Aunt Gongsun?" Qu Wuming thought for a while and realized that he seemed to have indeed given a sword manual to a young girl named Gongsun Lan decades ago, and also taught her for a period of time. He smiled slightly and said, "We know each other, maybe.
"
"I didn't know that Brother Qu's martial arts was so powerful before!" Lin Wanqing now looked at Qu Wuming with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Qu Wuming was very keenly aware of this hint of admiration, and secretly said something bad in his heart. After thinking about it, he said: "That's natural. A few years ago, I had a good time with your master over wine and sparred in martial arts. Gongsun Da
, Well, the eldest sister treated me very well, and also told me the inner skills of the sword art."
"Brother Qu met my master a few years ago?" Lin Wanqing was stunned when she heard this, blinked and said, "My master has been living in my house these years. When did Brother Qu meet my master? Brother Qu went to Hu
Lancheng?"
Qu Wuming was a little overconfident, and he really couldn't lie casually, because often after telling a lie, he would need to tell more lies to make up for the previous lie.
"Well, I passed by once."
"In what year did you pass by? Why didn't you go to my house to sit there?"
"..."
Qu Wuming was about to make up something to deal with it, but he heard someone running over and shouting from a distance: "Qing'er, Qing'er! Are you okay?"
"Second Uncle Liu, we're fine!" Lin Wanqing waved to the visitor excitedly, and finally temporarily turned her attention away from asking about Qu Wuming's past.
————
Although Qu Wuming was not seen doing it himself, Lin Wanqing's testimony that Qu Wuming killed two master-level bandits soon spread throughout the entire team. Originally, Lin Wanqing was quite interested in taking Qu Wuming in.
The clerks and escorts who had complained about it now looked at Qu Wuming with respect, and even with a hint of fear.
However, Lin Wanqing's attitude towards Qu Wuming has not changed much - if there has been a change, it is that she has become more clingy to Qu Wuming. Either she pesters Qu Wuming to talk about the world, or she seeks Qu Wuming's advice.
Her martial arts skills.
Qu Wuming was so troubled that he had no choice but to give some advice occasionally. However, he accidentally discovered that Lin Wanqing was extremely smart. With a little guidance, he could understand things correctly and even draw inferences from one instance. He was really a prodigy in martial arts. No wonder he could do so in just ten years.
He has reached such a state in a few years. Such qualifications are probably not far behind those of Tong Xiangyu of Juxian Inn back then.
After going back and forth, Qu Wuming gradually relaxed his previous restraint on himself, and his attitude towards Lin Wanqing became more doting and loving, but he still reminded himself in his heart that he could just give her guidance as a disciple or a little sister.
It's not a big deal, I'll leave after the injury heals.
However, Qu Wuming gradually noticed something strange in Lin Wanqing's words. It seemed that Lin Wanqing had a very strong desire and persistence to achieve the master level as soon as possible...
