Chapter 42: Shatter the famous sword with one palm, defeat the sword master with one move, and take your life with one claw! (6500)
At the foot of the mountain road, in the dense forest, a few hundred feet away from the mountain gate stone monument to the east, a short ninja was hiding in the forest.
He wore a camouflage-like cloak, and the knife on his waist was only two feet long. It was rough and wide, and could be used as a stepping tool when climbing cliffs or scaling city walls.
These ninjas were trained in special ways, and the process was almost inhumane. They weighed less than seventy pounds and were no more than five feet tall.
In order to achieve this effect, although the Aiki technique they practiced was a combination of Buddhist Zen methods, it only had the stealth method of collecting Qi and blood, and the fighting method of stimulating the potential of the physical body.
Therefore, these people rarely live beyond the age of forty, and because of this, their fighting spirit and fighting spirit are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. The term "brave and not afraid of death" is simply tailor-made for this kind of people.
The ones now sent to participate in this mission are the elite of the Japanese slave ninjas. Their short-term explosive power is comparable to that of a martial arts master.
After crouching for a while, the ninja seemed to hear some kind of movement. Before he raised his head, his hand was already pressing the handle of the knife.
Before the knife was unsheathed, a flash of blood appeared in front of his eyes.
Lu Zhu sheathed his sword, took a step forward, supported the man's body, and then slowly placed him on the ground.
Although this lay disciple of Shaolin Temple is proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, over the years, Lu Zhu's favorite thing is swordsmanship.
After a while, Qi Jiguang also came slowly from the west carrying a large iron gun. The iron gun was as thick as a goose egg and about ten feet long. Blood was dripping from the tip of the gun. It was obvious that he had just killed someone.
This spear is a training tool used by the Southern Shaolin monks to strengthen their strength and practice their spear skills. The head and shaft of the spear are made of pure iron. It weighs sixty or seventy kilograms. It is only used by masters like Qi Jiguang. , so that you can use it freely.
Seeing Qi Jiguang approaching, Lu Zhu raised his sword at an angle and said with emotion:
"These Japanese pirates are indeed elite. I was almost discovered by them."
Qi Jiguang came over and looked at the corpse next to Lu Zhu, with a look of emotion in his eyes:
"These are the dead soldiers in the Japanese slave country. Their assassination methods are vicious and secret, and they use all possible means. When I first arrived in the southeast to pacify the Japanese, many heroes in the army died under their assassination, and it was impossible to prevent them."
Although Lu Zhu had just arrived in the southeast not long ago, he had heard of the names of this group of people.
When they followed Zhu Tiandu to plunder the southeast, these ninjas caused the greatest damage. The Ming army even left a record of "drawing the bow and shooting at it, and the thieves caught the arrow with their own hands. All the armies looked at each other in astonishment, and they all collapsed." .
Everyone can catch flying arrows with bare hands. What a terrifying quality this is?
Qi Jiguang knelt down, squeezed the ninja's bones, rummaged through his clothes, and found a whistle, a tube of gunpowder, a bag of pills, and a handful of various hidden weapons.
Although he had expected it just now, after touching it again, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that Zhu Laolong has really made up his mind this time. The training methods of the Wonu Kingdom's assassins are extremely cruel, so the muscles and bones of these people are much looser than our boxers.
The skin, flesh and bones of these people are really like copper skin and iron bones. In terms of physical strength alone, they are already incredible, and with these many methods, they are obviously the elite among Japanese slave assassins. ”
However, even though he talked about how terrifying these Japanese slave assassins were, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but smile.
"It's a pity that we ran into our 'Great Sage Huntian' head-on."
Qi Jiguang was so impressed by Xu Xing's "open-the-map" perception. He had experienced hundreds of battles in his life, but he had never been able to fight so...easily.
In the past, Qi Jiguang would not even associate this word with fighting, but after fighting with Xu Xing, he sincerely felt this way.
At the same time, Qi Jiguang once again realized the horror of Xu Xing from another angle. For such an extremely keen and powerful person, the number of people has lost its meaning.
"One thing to say, one thing to say, it's true."
With a laugh, Xu Xing also grabbed a human head, jumped down from the treetop, and landed lightly on the ground. His skin and flesh trembled, dispelling the force, and the soft soil shook slightly, revealing a shallow footprint.
After completing the refining of skin and flesh, all the mortal flesh in Xu Xing's body seemed to have turned into another essence of substance. When the blood was gathered and it sank, it weighed thousands of kilograms. When the body was lifted, it seemed as if not a kilogram was left.
This is also one of the results of his practice in the past two months. With Li Shizhen's help, Xu Xing also analyzed the secrets of the alchemy path in the "Sanfeng Blood Classic" to the fullest.
The key to Taoist practice is to guide and refine Qi and control the body.
"People receive Qi from the grains, and the grains enter the stomach and pass to the lungs. The five internal organs are all designed to receive Qi. The clear ones are the camp, and the turbid ones are the defenses."
Ying Qi is the essence of water and grain, which transforms into blood and coexists with blood. It is also called "Ying Xue".
Wei Qi is transformed from the turbid Qi of water and grain, and is part of the Yang Qi of the human body, so it is also called "Wei Yang". It can resist the invasion of external evils, warm the internal organs, and moisturize the fur.
The Sanfeng Blood Classic talks about how to fuse the two into one to form "Zong Qi". In the term of alchemy, it means to seize obstacles and fill up the separation, reconcile water and fire, and subdue the dragon and tiger.
There is a saying in the martial arts that the human body's qi and blood are the degradation of the innate essence. To achieve "impeccable human immortality", one must burn the body with true fire, completely cut off the acquired turbidity, and rebel against the innate.
"Zong Qi" has the effect of "inheriting innate vitality". Seventy percent of the human body is water, but with the nourishment of Zong Qi, it can turn ordinary water and turbid water into pure jade liquid, and gradually begins to move against the innate energy. road.
This is what alchemy calls "bathing with slow fire." If the general method of refining is to stir-fry in a big pot, and move in and out quickly, then this advanced method of nourishing is to cook porridge and soup, and it must be boiled to the point where the muscles and bones are like paste. There is no lack of heat for three years.
Even if Xu Xing had the stone mirror in hand, it would be difficult to speed up the progress, because this is a gentle enough method of cultivation and can only be endured with time.
Therefore, he, a person who has always done things to the best of his ability, was willing to sit in Southern Shaolin for more than two months, fighting against Zhu Tiandu and Zhu Polong.
Xu Xing lifted the head and showed it to Qi Jiguang:
"This man has the level of a great boxer, and his skills are impressive. He seems to be a leader. Can Brother Yuan Jing recognize him?"
Qi Jiguang took a closer look, recognized this person's identity, and said with a smile:
"Tafa, this is one of the four masters of the Japanese Jia Ninja. He once assassinated me. He was good at using the mist to escape. Even if I didn't check for a while, I got the trick and let him escape.
Naturally, this little trick can't be hidden from your eyes. ”
Xu Xing didn't care too much. For him now, killing a top boxer was not much more difficult than killing a chicken. He just threw his head on the treetop.
He shook his sleeves and smiled:
"You two, I am impatient and have a big appetite, so I will take care of the two dishes that I am not sure about."
Xu Xing looked at Qi Jiguang again and said:
“Brother Yuan Jing, can a ‘most sincere’ grandmaster have enough to eat?”
His tone was extremely relaxed, as if he was not talking about a long-established master, but rather as if he was discussing how to divide the pigs with the villagers after slaughtering them during the first lunar month.
Qi Jiguang has never seen someone treat a grandmaster with such a casual attitude, and his originally slightly solemn mood suddenly relaxed.
He raised his eyebrows, drew his gun, stood up, and shouted in a position of not losing,
"Treading the law, Qi always doesn't care about his appearance when eating."
Xu Xing laughed and didn't care.
"In that case, we might as well compare."
Lu Zhu had just become a master, and he was aware of the gap between himself and Xu Xing and Qi Jiguang. He had no desire to win. He only thought about it for a moment, raised one palm and said calmly:
"Leave those remaining people to me."
In fact, Qi Jiguang and Lu Zhu had sensed Zhu Tiandu's importance to Xu Xing from these ninjas, and also realized that these invading enemies were indeed no ordinary people.
However, their confidence in Xu Xing is even stronger.
In the distance, the broad sedan shook again.
Kamizumi Nobutsuna had already retreated five or six feet.
He pressed the handle of the knife, crouched slightly, stared at the sedan, and licked his lips.
"Hey, what's going on with this thing? Is it possible that we have to fight before taking action?"
Although Kamizumi Nobutsuna's mouth was complaining, his eyes were somewhat eager and excited.
The four big boxers who were responsible for carrying the sedan were also shocked, but soon the leader smiled and said:
"Just like ordinary people, they also take naps when sleeping. This is a common thing, but the noise of this man's nap is slightly louder."
"Napping?"
The corner of Kamizumi Nobutsuna's mouth twitched.
As he said that, the other three people had opened the curtain, and they could see a giant man with a lion's nose, a broad face, and an angry beard, sitting upright in a sedan chair.
The sedan was already extremely wide, but it still couldn't accommodate him. He was nearly ten feet tall, his arms were thicker than an ordinary person's waist, his neck was as wide as his head, his shoulders were high, and his back was broad.
His hands were locked with a thick iron chain, and steel hoops were hung on his wrists. Slender gold needles were pierced in various large points on his body. The tails of the gold needles continued to tremble as the man breathed.
A total of eight pieces of paper were pasted on the four pillars and four sides of the sedan, with eight vague but powerful statues of gods painted on them.
The giant man closed his eyes tightly, and his face was tense, as if he was suffering some kind of extremely cruel and inhuman pain.
In the practice of swordsmanship in the Wonu Kingdom, cultivating the mind is an extremely critical step. Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's state of mind has long been practiced to the point where he can stand still even if the mountain collapses in front of him and the giant waterfall falls on the top.
But even he would feel a wave of phantom pain in his heart when he saw the giant man's face. Kamizumi Nobutsuna simply couldn't imagine how profound this pain was.
Tsukahara Buden glanced at Nobutsuna Kamizumi, shook his head and said:
"Boy Shangquan, although your physical strength is still well preserved, your mind has not yet been fully cultivated."
He turned his head, looked at the giant man, his eyes were filled with emotion, and he said leisurely:
"When the Oni Emperor came east, although there were many strong men and heroes in our country, he was the only one who dared to stand in front of the Oni Emperor and challenge the Demon King of Middle-earth openly.
Everyone said that he went out into battle in order to stimulate the blood of our people. Only an old man like me knew that he just wanted to prove his martial arts.
"Master Daoxue, it's been a long time..."
At the end of the sentence, Tsukahara Buden's tone was extremely sad.
This being named "Big Thunder Sky" is none other than Tachibana Michyuki, who once dominated the Wonu Kingdom and was known as the God of War in Kyushu and the incarnation of the God of Thunder.
This person takes the name of God, and he does seem to be favored by God. He was born with terrifying divine power, and his muscles and bones are extremely strong.
When Tachibana Michyuki was a boy, he pursued the supreme martial arts and chased thunder clouds, from which he learned how to move his muscles and bones like thunder.
Due to his uniquely strong muscles and bones, this thunder was not muffled thunder, but truly continuous thunder.
This is exactly the realm of "tiger and leopard thunder" and "thunder in the palm" in boxing. However, the people of the Wonu country did not understand the principles of boxing, so they regarded this strange appearance as a gift from the God of Thunder.
Tachibana Michyuki was nicknamed the "Incarnation of the God of Thunder", and he himself embarked on a path of independent training. However, due to the extremely fierce fighting in the Wonu Kingdom, the boxing techniques that were developed were mostly killing methods and blindly stimulating potential, and there were few systematic training methods.
As for those advanced "refining methods" that are considered low-level among various sects in the Central Plains, there is no such thing at all.
Therefore, even though Tachibana Michyuki had an iron-clad determination to seek the Way, he still inevitably fell and suffered bruises all over his body on this road. The injuries were so severe that it was difficult to heal, and the way forward was cut off.
Not to mention him, even those Central Plains masters with orthodox inheritance will inevitably stumble on this road.
However, Tachibana Michiyuki was both unfortunate and lucky.
On the verge of death, he waited for a peerless strongman whose boxing skills were unparalleled in the Central Plains.
At the last moment of his life, Tachibana Michyuki chose a way to die that belonged to a warrior. He wanted to challenge Zhu Tiandu and die in a dignified battle.
Before he died, he had only one request.
——I can die anonymously, but my boxing skills and my path must not be buried with me!
After I die, you take my body and use it as you wish, but you must help me verify whether this path is feasible.
Even Zhu Tiandu was moved by this burning ambition. He used only one extreme punch to defeat Tachibana Doyuki's will, leaving his still active body intact.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Even Zhu Tiandu has never seen such a unique body. Tachibana Daoxue's martial arts is only as strong as the strong. In addition to the strong, there is even stronger, and the softness is not practiced at all.
With this kind of practice, if he hadn't been blessed with a naturally bone-breaking body, his skin and flesh would have disintegrated and his body would have exploded and he would have died.
Zhu Tiandu also lived up to his promise to Lihua Daoxue, spending countless amounts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine various potions to refine his muscles, bones, skin and flesh.
It was during this process that something happened that even Zhu Tian did not expect. Another brand new blank consciousness seemed to be born in this body that had lost its mind.
This consciousness is difficult to communicate and cannot be communicated, but it still retains Tachibana Michyuki's original fighting spirit and bellicosity. Even because of his lack of reason, this bellicosity has developed to the point of being almost cruel and bloodthirsty.
The relationship between the spirit and the body is an unavoidable topic in martial arts.
Martial arts practitioners generally believe that only a master-level spirit can leverage the relationship between the physical body and the spirit, stimulate the potential of the physical body, and transform the essence of life.
However, Zhu Tiandu saw another possibility in Tachibana Doyuki - the possibility of completely separating the body and spirit and practicing independently.
He had one more guess.
Could it be that the "Three Souls and Seven Souls", "Yin God" and "Yang God" mentioned in the classics all really exist?
No matter what the reason was, Tachibana Doyuki's body did change, and Zhu Tiandu also changed its name to "Big Thunder Sky", and used his fist movements to guide this inexplicable existence to start practicing boxing.
Zhu Tiandu wants to know, if he completely gives up the pursuit of the spiritual realm and only remembers the strength of boxing through the physical body, can he achieve the great perfection of physical boxing?
Except for Zhu Tiandu and Zhu Polong, no one knew the specific results of this experiment.
Until - now!
While Kamizumi Nobutsuna was excited, Tsukahara Fuden was emotional, and the four great boxers were relaxed.
The golden needles on Da Leitian's body suddenly trembled.
Another shock.
This was a very small movement, but it was uniform. All the sounds merged into one sound, like the muffled thunder coming from deep in the clear summer sky.
Immediately afterwards, his teeth trembled, and a clanging sound of gold and iron erupted. From his ears, nose, and mouth, long white air like sharp arrows shot out, hitting the sedan and making dents.
All these changes occurred in a very short period of time.
Only two strong men at the master level, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Fuden, could see clearly.
The four great boxers heard a loud bang, and then they saw the large sedan made of heavy mahogany suddenly explode into pieces, and the debris shot out in all directions like powerful arrows.
A majestic figure slowly stood up from the smoke.
His eyes seemed to be open and closed, and countless tendons as thick as a thumb were swimming under his skin. The dynamics of each tendon were different, and even conflicted with each other. Every time he squirmed, a golden needle flew out. .
In the end, there was only a slender golden needle inserted between his eyebrows.
In the flash of lightning, the four great boxers had already retreated three feet away, and everyone's eyes were focused on "Big Thunder Sky".
No one knew what exactly stimulated this ghost-like existence. Only Tsukahara Buden, who had already entered the "Utopia" realm, vaguely felt something strange.
Another unfamiliar voice also sounded in the field.
"Oh? You have such a keen perception, do you know I'm coming? It's interesting, it's really interesting."
Everyone turned around and saw a young man wearing gray cloth monk's robes coming slowly with the sound.
He has a handsome face, slightly raised sword eyebrows, and a kind of heroic aura. Although he is dressed as a monk, he has long hair tied into a ponytail. He has a tall and straight posture. Even if he steps on the mud, his cloth shoes are as clean as new.
Among the people present, the ones with the lowest boxing skills were all great boxers. Naturally, it could be seen that although this young man seemed to be walking slowly and motionless, in fact, every part of his body was vibrating, and the dust that fell on his body was shaking. , the soil was shaken out.
When Xu Xing had just reached the "Extreme Skin Refining Realm", he could not get wet in the rain, and he could shake the raindrops away with his skin, just like lotus leaves.
——In the eyes of ordinary warriors, even boxers who are accomplished in leather refining, this is already an extremely unbelievable thing.
But now, after practicing the "Empty Immortal Sac", Xu Xing can even use this ability on clothes through his skin and flesh.
Compared with before, this kind of control power has not only improved several times?
After discovering this abnormality, the hairs all over Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's body suddenly stood up one by one, and his heart was beating wildly.
For a moment, in his eyes, Xu Xing's figure was even taller than Big Lei Tian beside him.
The other four great boxers looked at Xu Xing, looking at a ghost that had come inexplicably.
With their level of boxing, they could not imagine how Xu Xing could cross the dense forest full of ninjas and dead warriors and quietly appear in this place.
Tsukahara Buden didn't say anything. He pressed his hand on the handle of the knife. His cloudy eyes suddenly became clear. He looked directly at Xu Xing and his breathing became extremely long.
Xu Xing put his hands behind his back, swept past everyone present, and then just looked at the thundering sky.
"Why, you've put up such a big battle, why don't you dare to take action?"
Although his voice is soft, there is a kind of confidence and domineering in his words that looks down on the world and is arrogant.
It seems that in Xu Xing's eyes, Ueizumi Nobutsuna and others are not long-established masters, but a group of shy children who are tied up and need some encouragement from him before they can let go.
Stab!
An extremely sharp roar suddenly erupted, and the light of the sword tore through the air, drawing a white mark, and struck in front of Xu Xing's eyes.
The blade of the blade was as clear as water, with a graceful arc. Before it could really cut, it had cut off the rope that bound Xu Xing's hair, causing his long hair to flutter and roll in the wind.
This is none other than Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's famous sword - Sukimaru Tsuneji!
The sword master shouted loudly and used tantric mantras to explode the suppressed energy and spirit. His brows were as stern as a Dharma Protector. His body sank and lifted, his toes landed on the ground. The scabbard on his waist twirled, and the blade and scabbard wiped out a series of sparks. .
After the blade was unsheathed, there was still a strong iron smell.
This drawing of the sword is not only the integration of the waist and hips, but also the recoil force from the ground after the sole of the foot touches the ground. It is also calculated at the angle of the sun. When the blade appears, it reflects the sunlight, and the sword light bursts out, and it shakes. Huang Xuxing's eyes covered his figure again.
This skill is another unique skill of the Japanese slave ninja, called Sword Hidden Escape, which can be said to be the ultimate use of time.
Just by looking at the draw of the sword this time, you can tell that Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's title of "Sword Master" has absolutely no water at all. Although he lacks physical training, with a sword in his hand, he is still a well-deserved master-level swordsman.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's calculation was extremely accurate. When he drew the sword, it happened to be when Xu Xing had just uttered the last word and his chest was about to rise and breathe.
At this moment, Xu Xing's hands were still clasped behind his back. If he raised his legs to block the sword, he would lose the ability to move and dodge, and would definitely be hit by Tsukahara Buden who came after him.
Ueizumi Nobutsuna believed that with this old man's swordsmanship superior to his own, he would never miss such a good opportunity.
The light of the sword fell on Xu Xing's eyebrows, illuminating a pair of brilliant eyes that were like burning fire.
Although his eyes were intense, his expression was not shaken at all.
The next moment, Xu took action.
He rolled his feet and twisted his calf muscles, causing his waist, hips, and spine to rotate together. A spiral force rose from the ground and spread to his arms. His right hand, which was originally carried behind his back, was like a giant axe. , swung round and chopped down.
Although Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's plan was good, he didn't understand at all what level Xu Xing's speed and strength had reached after cultivating the "Empty Immortal Bag".
Although the empty immortal bag is just an empty bag, it has the character of immortal in it after all. How can a mortal predict the boxing skills of an immortal?
Can't move with your hands behind your back?
ridiculous!
Xu Xing's powerful slash from behind was even faster than Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's sword!
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna felt that at this moment, the other party seemed to have transformed into a violent ape that trampled the mountains and rivers, roared to the sky, and every move had the meaning of moving mountains and earth.
This is exactly the calamitous fist that Xu Xing learned from the white-clothed bandit and used to defeat the Wheel King.
The sword intent, which was like a diamond subduing demons, was shattered by this unspeakably violent fist.
It was not only the sword's will that was broken, but also Shujumaru Tsuneji himself.
This sword has existed for hundreds of years and is known as the national treasure of the Wonu Kingdom. It is said that the power of Buddha resides in it, which can help the military leader kill demons and protect the dharma.
Unfortunately, when it comes to dealing with Xu Xing, the great sage among demons, both Kamizumi Nobutsuna himself and the sword in his hand are too far behind.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna felt that what was sticking to the edge of his blade was not a fleshy palm, but a rapidly swirling sea whirlpool, carrying a huge amount of water pressure, making it difficult for him to draw the blade. Then, the swirling force was violently spit out again, The explosion rippled out.
After sucking and swallowing, only about two-thirds of the blade was left, and another section was broken.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was a sword master after all. Even if the tiger's mouth was broken and the tendons were damaged, he did not let go of the hilt.
But this kind of persistence seems so useless at this time.
Xu Xing held his broken blade with his right hand and shaped it into an eagle's claw with his left hand, stabbing Uizumi Nobutsuna's neck.
——In just one fight, this new Yin-ryu swordsman who had made such a big name in the Wonu Kingdom was already defeated.
Defeat means death!
