Chapter 1641: Battle for the Stone of Enlightenment (Mountain Forest)
Looking at the murderous Yingbu, Ji Bu sighed and said:
"Ever since I heard that you were working for Tian Mi, I expected that such a day would come."
Yingbu took out his other hand and replied coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the box and I'll keep your whole body!"
"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as unkind as before." Ji Bu said helplessly after hearing this.
When Yingbu heard this, he became even more angry, "Unhumane? Humph! I should have killed you a long time ago!"
"Hmph..." Ji Bu sighed in despair, "After so many years, I thought you would eventually understand."
"Of course I understand!" Yingbu responded angrily, "It was you who made me and my brothers suffer shame. This shame will never be washed away in my lifetime."
After hearing this, Ji Bu tilted his head helplessly.
The reason why Yingbu fell out with him originated from the complete defeat of the Chu army many years ago.
At that time, Ji Bu led the Shadow Tiger Army and was ordered to guard an important place and thwart the Qin army.
Due to the fierce offensive of the Qin army, the Shadow Tiger Army suffered heavy losses and the front line was almost unable to hold up. Fortunately, the Thunder Leopard Army led by Yingbu came to help, and the two armies merged to stabilize the line.
But the two of them were able to hold their own. The main army led by Chu army general Wu'an Jun Xiang Yan was completely defeated by the Qin army led by Wang Jian. Shouchun fell, the state of Chu was destroyed, and the king of Chu killed himself directly after carrying the cud (historical facts say)
Chu was captured and what happened next is unknown. In the plot of Qin Shi, he died directly.)
Because of Gu Xun's intervention, Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, died directly at the hands of Fusu, and he was unable to succeed Fu Cu as the last king of Chu. Fu Cu died, declaring the complete demise of the Chu Kingdom.
After Yingbu learned that the King of Chu had died for his country, he decided to lead his army and fight the Qin army to the death, and also died for his country.
However, Ji Bu believed that the sacrifice should not be in vain and that the strength should be preserved for the future.
The two argued fiercely, but the final result was that Yingbu was blocked by Jibu and failed to achieve his wish.
So he resented Ji Bu.
This reason... it is hard not to suspect that he was incompetently furious and implicated Ji Bu.
Of course, Ji Bu deserved to be disliked because he was nosy.
However, Ji Bu himself obviously didn't think so. He felt that he prevented Yingbu from dying in vain, which was not a bad thing in any case - and this was indeed the case in the eyes of normal people.
All in all, all in all, the two of them had a complete breakup.
After the fall of the Chu Kingdom, one of them became a robber, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, while the other became a wandering warrior, living in intoxication and dreaming, and there was almost no interaction between them.
Today is the reunion of the two of them. Unfortunately, there is no joy of seeing old friends again. Instead, they are fighting each other with swords drawn.
Ji Bu, who recalled some past events in his mind, came back to his senses, looked Ying Bu up and down carefully and asked:
"Where's your armor? I remember you never leave it?"
Yingbu's armor was regarded by him as the last symbol of his status as a soldier, so he never left it... It was also why he was always wanted by the empire. Otherwise, the wanted order might have been withdrawn long ago. After all, there is no point in competing with a useless person.
The Kingdom of Chu has perished, so who has nothing to do but chase a general who has lost his country and has no soldiers?
Yingbu snorted coldly and replied, "I am not worthy of wearing it anymore."
Looking at Yingbu who looked unhappy, although Ji Bu felt it was useless, he couldn't help but explain:
"When I destroyed the bridge to stop you, it was to save you and your brothers, and also to leave more strength for Chu State!"
"For us!?" When Yingbu heard this, he became even more angry. He raised his hand, pointed at Jibu and cursed, "Because of you, I know what the famous Thunder Leopard Legion has become now.
?"
"A joke, a disgraceful joke!"
Yingbu became more and more excited, his whole body trembling as he expressed his grievances and resentments:
"In the past few years, I have tried to find the brothers I used to be."
"However, the warrior who once championed the three armies is now drunk to death on the streets every day. The once extremely proud warrior has lost all the dignity in his life!"
"They once knew why they fought and died, but now they don't know why they are still alive."
"They should have been loyal to the king and died fighting for the country. Their names should have been praised everywhere!"
"But now, they are just a puddle of mud that can be trampled on, and they are a shame to Chu State!"
"And you are the one who brings shame to them!"
Yingbu's accusation made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.
At first glance, it seems to make sense. After all, this is the pre-Qin Dynasty, and fighting for integrity and righteousness is what many people pursue.
Moreover, the Shadow Tiger, Thunder and Leopard Legion had already been seriously damaged back then, and their strength was reduced to ten percent. It was normal for those of them who were still alive to want to die for you on the battlefield, and to die together with their comrades.
But it was unreasonable for him to put all the blame on Ji Bu.
Even if someone stops you once, you can still die later. You can't have to die in the hands of the soldiers of the Qin army who conquered Shouchun to be satisfied, right?
Moreover, it is your own fault that you will live a drunken and decadent life later on. Who made you not live a good life!
So it was really painful for Ji Bu to hear this.
He hesitated for a moment, turned sideways, and took a step back verbally:
"You're right, maybe I should give you an apology."
Ji Bu didn't think he was wrong, but he hoped to make peace with Yingbu and get through today's incident peacefully.
Yingbu didn't have this idea. He showed up here just to take action!
"I don't need your apology!"
"Now I am just a mercenary, collecting people's money and helping them eliminate disasters."
Ji Bu sighed, "This makes me even more sorry."
"You don't need to blame yourself for too long..." Yingbu's tone was filled with awe-inspiring murderous intent. He pointed at Ji Bu and shouted in a deep voice, "I will complete something that should have been done long ago - kill you!"
"You can kill me, but you must remember one thing..." Facing Yingbu's aggressiveness, Ji Bu finally couldn't help but defend himself, "You're not dead yet!"
"No matter how humiliating your life is, you...are always alive!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Shut up! You coward!" These words made Yingbu completely unable to hold back, and he waved his hands to kill Ji Bu.
At this time, Ji Bu waved his hand and threw out a leaf. He turned over half a circle, his toes resting on the fluttering leaves. A zhenqi magic circle composed of yin and yang fish, sun, moon, stars and other patterns immediately appeared under his feet, pushing him to provide
extremely high acceleration.
Then, as if he was teleporting, Ji Bu stepped forward several times in mid-air to accelerate. He was the last to arrive first, and was the first to reach Ying Bu. The long sword in his hand, the Shadow Tiger Blade, rushed straight to the opponent's front door.
Yingbu's expression changed, and he hurriedly switched from offense to defense. He raised his arms and raised his arms in front of his chest, and at the same time lowered his head backwards, staggering Ji Bu's attack just right.
Then he raised his arms with force and pushed Ji Bu away. Taking advantage of his unsteady footing, he turned around to bully him, raised his arms and turned into a windmill and started to spin.
Ji Bu immediately raised his sword to block, and after a series of clanging sounds, he successfully retreated and widened the distance between the two sides.
Yingbu refused to give up, stepped on the ground, jumped up, and drew a parabola to hit Ji Bu.
However, the speed of his attack was still not as fast as Ji Bu's reaction speed. The latter dodged to the side and dodged again. Ying Bu only had time to smash the big rock where Ji Bu landed.
When one move failed, Yingbu immediately pounced to make up the attack again. Although his attack speed was not as fast as Ji Bu's, his attacks were continuous and calm.
This is called - Qi Xu Rulin!
And Ji Bu was not a vegetarian. His nickname of "Shadow Tiger among Flowers" came from his outstanding Qinggong. But don't forget that he was also nicknamed "Unmoving as a Mountain".
These four words are not only because he keeps his word, but also because he is very good at defense. Whether it is personal force or troop formation, he can be as insurmountable as a thick mountain.
Facing Yingbu's continuous offensive, Jibu was as steady as a mountain and his defense was airtight.
Shadow Tiger Sword and Ying Bu's killing twins are constantly colliding and rubbing against each other. You come and go, not giving in to each other.
However, Yingbu's strength is still stronger in the end, and he has more advantages when attacking. Jibu basically defends throughout the whole process. Fortunately, he can do it with ease and even has time to taunt his opponent.
"You take action slower than before."
Upon hearing this, Yingbu roared, struck hard with his right hand, and relied on brute force to force the shadow tiger away from Ji Bu's hand, leaving the space in front of him wide open, successfully creating an opportunity for himself.
Then he made a backhand slash with his left hand and headed towards Ji Bu's waist.
Ji Bu hurriedly bent back to dodge, his body barely avoiding the sharp edge, but the straps of the box on his back were cut off just right.
However, Yingbu's move was actually aimed at the box of the Stone of Fire, and Jibu's dodge gave him more time.
When Ji Bu noticed this, it was already too late. Yingbu immediately raised his leg and hit Ji Bu's abdomen with his knee, lifting it up into the air. Then he turned around, raised his leg and kicked Ji Bu firmly with the sole of his foot.
of the mandible.
This kick was so loud that Ji Bu was kicked out on the spot. The box containing the Stone of Enlightenment fell to the ground. He himself couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
The kick was so heavy that Ji Bu felt as if his mandible was cracking, and he soon lost all consciousness.
The two of them landed separately. Yingbu stretched out his hand to catch the box that was about to land. Jibu rubbed his chin on the other side and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth - he wasn't hurt at all, not even the little blood. I broke my lips, but the pain was severe, and it still hurt intermittently.
This time it was Yingbu's turn to laugh at Ji Bu. He shook the Qi in his hand, turned the box over, and joked:
"Is this what you call retaining strength?"
"I only tell my real enemies about my strength." Ji Bu replied without giving in.
"snort!"
Yingbu snorted coldly, shook the box, and dropped it to the ground to protect it. Then he killed his two relatives and struck forward with a cross, and the two cold air blades rushed towards Ji Bu in an X shape.
At this time, Ji Bu put his golden peony to his mouth with his backhand and bit it. Then he immediately retreated to avoid Yingbu's air blade attack. Then he used the branches of the big tree nearby to swing around and bullied Yingbu with both hands. Holding the sword with all his strength, Kaotou struck with his sword.
Ying Bu raised his hands to block. Ji Bu took advantage of the struggle between the two sides and took off one hand to pick up the golden peony again and raised it high, not forgetting to remind him:
"Look carefully!"
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light suddenly bloomed, and Yingbu's eyes were pointed in the direction of the golden peony, and he was immediately blinded.
Ji Bu disappeared directly at this time. When Yingbu got used to it, he saw golden peonies floating on the box on the ground, and then there was another flash of golden light. The six-ring zhenqi magic circle that Ji Bu had used reappeared, and the golden peonies appeared. The peony and the box disappeared from Yingbu in the blink of an eye.
As an old friend of Ji Bu, Yingbu immediately recognized the trick used by Ji Bu - the hidden tiger among the flowers!
At the same time, countermeasures have also been taken - if the enemy is unknown, defend your position like a forest!
The next moment, Ji Bu reappeared, holding the broken strap on the box in one hand, and struck Ying Bu from the side with a sword.
Yingbu, who had always been on guard, reacted in time and raised his hands to block the blade.
Ji Bu, who was holding a golden peony in his mouth, smiled and said, "Sorry, my target is not you!"
"Be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw up the box, and the whole person suddenly disappeared from in front of Yingbu. Then his figure continued to teleport, constantly confusing Yingbu's sight, and finally succeeded in taking advantage of Yingbu's unpreparedness and kicked him from behind. Fly out.
After Yingbu flipped around in mid-air for more than ten times, he finally managed to stabilize his body and landed on the ground. The remaining energy allowed him to slide out several steps further.
On the other hand, Ji Bu took advantage of this opportunity to fasten the straps again and put the box back on his body.
He turned his back to Yingbu, thought for a moment and said:
"Feeling better now?"
Yingbu didn't answer him, just stood up.
Ji Bu continued, minding his own business, "Don't you think the way we are looking now is ridiculous?"
"Not only ridiculous, but also pitiful..."
The people who used to be so close and trusted each other with life and death are now fighting each other for a stone that has nothing to do with them. It is indeed sad and ridiculous to say that.
Yingbu replied coldly, "A soldier who has lost his home and country is just a bereaved dog. He can only be laughed at by others. I have long been used to it."
"I just want that box now!"
Before Ji Bu could answer, a tiger's roar came from the forest, and then a burly figure rushed out like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, and stopped in front of Ji Bu - it was none other than Chi Youtang's master, the Tiger Demon.
"It seems that you are not alone." Ji Bu looked at his new opponent and said with a smile.
At this time, a charming female voice sounded. Tian Mi walked out of the forest in the other direction with seductive steps as she spoke, still holding a cigarette rod in her hand:
"Fellow meets fellow countryman, you two grown men are quite nostalgic and loyal."
"As a woman, I was moved to tears when I saw this."
"It turns out there is more than one helper." Ji Bu didn't react at all to Tian Mi's coquettishness, and just teased him flatly.
Tian Mi's words still have a certain swagger to them, and coupled with her eye-catching body movements, she always seems to be the focus of men's eyes:
"The tiger hidden among the flowers, as motionless as a mountain, can finally see Mr. Ji Bu's true face today. It's really love at first sight!"
After finishing the seductive words, there was another one that seemed to have profound meaning, "I wonder if I can remain motionless when facing the woman I love?"
When Ji Bu heard this, he knew that Tian Mi probably had some information about him, but he didn't care - he had a beloved woman, but she was under the protection of Shennongtang, and Tian Mi couldn't threaten her with just a word.
.
"Hall Master Kuui doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing."
"We are all considered family members, why do we need to see outsiders?" Tian Mi pretended to be pitiful, "Look, now you are alone and there are three of us."
"When I think of you bleeding and injured, my heart aches!"
Ji Bu frowned, his eyes vaguely swept over Yingbu and others who were surrounding him in a triangle, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
