Chapter 83 Deduction in the mind
The unparalleled sword power soared into the sky, completely suppressing Song Changming's Hundred Birds Sword Power at this moment.
There was a ringing sound in Song Changming's ears, and he didn't feel the sound was pleasant at all. He only felt deeply suffocated by the opponent's sudden sword attack.
He smelled the long-lost breath of death, his heartbeat accelerated in vain, and his blood circulation became rapid.
The pupils of his eyes contracted unconsciously.
When he caught the opponent's stabbing sword, the sword light was almost touching his face.
It was too late to hide. At this moment, he instinctively used Feiyan style sword skills to try to block the opponent's seemingly fatal sword.
He was not sure whether he could block the opponent's sword.
It’s another long-lost moment of life and death!
It seems that he has not experienced such a dangerous situation for a long time.
The last time was the night when Jiuquhui was destroyed.
Later, a limited-time state of 'potential stimulation' was triggered, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
The sword light flew past, and Song Changming's facial skin felt stinging under the sharp edge.
The light of the sword in his hand followed closely and hit the side of the sword blade at this critical moment.
In an instant, the sword edge moved a few inches and passed half of his eye socket.
The two of them were staggered, and Song Changming took a few breaths. Blood oozed from the sword mark at the corner of his eye, and it continued to flow down, hanging on half of his face.
He didn't care about the scratches at the corners of his eyes. For him, he was lucky not to die.
Compared with being pierced through the head by the opponent's sword, this scratch is almost negligible.
Luo Haolin also didn't expect that his fatal sword would miss.
He wanted to turn around and fight back, but he felt that if he didn't kill Song Changming, he wouldn't be able to understand the thoughts in his heart.
But some sense still prevailed, and he only glanced back at Song Changming coldly, severely injuring the surrounding Xiao family guards with two swords, and escaped over the courtyard wall without further entanglement.
Even if those experts from the Xiao family hadn't surrounded him, his injuries wouldn't allow him to stay and fight.
He must find a safe place to bandage the wound as soon as possible to avoid further aggravation.
Song Changming watched the other party flee, and he had no intention of pursuing him.
Although letting the tiger return to the mountain would cause endless troubles, his current strength is simply not enough for him to kill the tiger.
If the opponent struck the sword just now a few more times, he was not sure he would be lucky enough to block them all.
And he couldn't keep up with the opponent's agility, so he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
On the other side, several masters from the Xiao family appeared at this time. After learning that Luo Haolin had ravaged this place and had escaped, they immediately pursued him.
Song Changming only hoped that this group of experts from the Xiao family would not disappoint and capture all three intruders.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Shuyun hurried back to the pavilion and saw Song Changming's face bleeding profusely. She immediately ordered someone to get gauze and good trauma ointment.
"I'm fine." Song Changming waved his hands and sat on the long steps to rest.
The sword mark at the corner of the eye only broke some flesh and bones, but it was not a major injury.
On the contrary, he had just tried his best to fight Naluo Haolin, but in a short period of time, he felt like he was overdrawn and his physical strength was severely exhausted.
"Fortunately, this fierce man was seriously injured before the fight, and his strength is three points weaker than that of Pianyuan. Otherwise, I would never have a chance to compete." Song Changming thought to himself.
There were many lucky factors in this battle, including the last sword, which he thought was also lucky to block.
When he rushed back, he thought this person was going to kill Xiao Shuyun, so he didn't think much about it and held out his knife to stop him.
He was promoted by Xiao Shuyun, and his first priority here today was to ensure Xiao Shuyun's safety. Xiao Shuyun could not die in front of him, both emotionally and rationally.
It was right to take action. Of course, he relied on his extra life to protect himself, so he didn't worry too much.
"Forgive me, Miss Fourth, I'm late in coming back." After Song Changming rested for a while, he cupped his hands with Xiao Shuyun.
"No, if it weren't for Chief Song, I would be in a very bad situation today. Besides, it was me who asked you to leave to find out the situation." Xiao Shuyun shook her head. She was not an unreasonable person.
From her perspective, Song Changming arrived in time and protected her without fear of death.
Especially when compared with those escaped retainers and useless guards, Song Changming's preciousness is highlighted.
For Song Changming, she only felt grateful instead of blaming him.
At the same time, she was secretly glad that she supported Song Changming in the first place.
Until now, Song Changming was the only one in her hand that could be considered a good card.
Among the others, there is still no one who can be of great use.
"Chief Song, what happened in the Xiao Mansion? Why is there such chaos?" Xiao Shuyun asked next, her tone a little anxious.
She worries about the safety of her relatives and other Xiao family members.
The body of the old servant who had just Xiao Yanli was still dumped in his courtyard.
Song Changming told the other party everything he saw.
I have to say that this was probably arranged by Governor Xiao himself. He hid the second-grade official in his Xiao Mansion, which attracted the attackers, causing chaos in the Xiao family, and a lot of people died. .
It even almost affected the lives of his children.
The root cause of all this is Commander Xiao himself.
Perhaps he thought that the other party would never be able to discover this secret, but as far as the result was concerned, it just put his family in danger. The chaos in the Xiao family actually didn't last long, it was over in about a stick of incense.
Of the three Dongcang dragons, none of them were captured in the end!
Just like back then, the three of them committed a serious crime, but the Dongcang County Sheriff failed to catch these three people, and now they have successfully escaped from Donglai County.
In terms of their ability to escape, these three people are considered to be unique.
However, although the Xiao family was thrown into chaos, fortunately, the second-rank official in the court was still safe and had not actually been killed.
Even though the Xiao Mansion lost troops and even killed two innocent concubines, these were not so unacceptable to Sheriff Xiao.
"Three Dragons of Dongcang." Song Changming learned the identities of these three people only afterward.
He had never heard of these three people before, but judging from their famous deeds, they were definitely three ruthless warriors.
The most important thing is that the leaders of the bandits behind Tengya Mountain are these three people.
As the three escaped from Donglai County, the bandits outside the county also ended their feint attack and then retreated with their troops.
The county soldiers in the county tried to leave the city to pursue them, but the bandit army had made arrangements in advance, broke into pieces, fled into the ravines and forests, and soon disappeared without a trace.
In the end, the county soldiers only killed or captured a few hundred members of the bandit army, which was not painful for the bandit army.
In the Xiao Mansion, after learning that Xiao Shuyun was in danger, the eldest son Xiao Hongyang quickly sent people to take his younger brothers and sisters to his place, and a group of experts from the Xiao family were responsible for strict protection.
After all, Song Changming was just an outsider of the Xiao family and could not go to the eldest son's place. His temporary protection mission ended early and he led the patrol to meet with Xie Shihuan.
"This time we fight against that bandit army, do you think we will lose or win?" In the evening, on the way back to the headquarters, Lu Zheng suddenly asked Song Changming.
"It's not like losing." Song Changming glanced at him and then replied.
It’s not like losing, let alone winning.
In his opinion, since the Dongcang Three Dragons could calmly appear in Xiao Mansion's courtyard and the bandit army could approach the city, they had already lost in this wave of competition.
Even though the most critical second-grade officer was saved, the battle in the Xiao Mansion and the County Sheriff's Mansion was still fierce and the losses were considerable.
Although the bandit army did not actually attack the city, it still caused panic among the people in the county and city, and the public security was greatly affected. The impact was too bad.
In the end, none of the three dragons in Dongcang were caught, and all the bandits ran away, leaving a mess to clean up.
Of course, the bandit army and the Dongcang Three Dragons did not complete their most important assassination mission, so they would not think they had won.
Tonight both sides have to say win or lose, it is a lose-lose outcome.
midnight.
[Today’s evaluation: A day full of dangers, lifespan -10, and limited-time status ‘potential activation’]
Daily evaluations pop up on time.
When Song Changming saw the state of his potential being stimulated, he was overjoyed and not surprised.
He only took one shot tonight, but it was indeed a life-or-death moment, and it was not unexpected to trigger this evaluation.
This is also the second time he has triggered it.
The experience of wandering between life and death is not pleasant, but the subsequent cultivation state of 'stimulating potential' is also rare enough.
Song Changming decisively used the excuse of being injured during the mission and left home to recuperate, not wanting to waste this precious state time.
After hurriedly returning to his residence, Song Changming cooked a large pot full of meat.
After a busy night and excessive consumption, he was now hungry. Afterwards, he worked hard to practice martial arts in a state where his potential was stimulated, which was even more exhausting.
During this process, he can suspend sleep for a day, but he needs constant food supplements, otherwise high-intensity martial arts training will only overdraw his body.
While stewing the meat, Song Changming swallowed a green water silkworm sent by his father this morning in one gulp.
This is a green water silkworm with one stripe. Unfortunately, it died for unknown reasons. It can be given to Song Changming to repair his body after the war.
While waiting for food, Song Changming was not idle, replaying tonight's battle with Luo Haolin in his mind.
It has to be said that a martial arts master of Luo Haolin's level has many things worth observing and learning.
Especially the opponent's superb swordsmanship and light body skills are unparalleled no matter where they are placed.
Originally, Song Changming just wanted to review the actual battle and reflect on his own shortcomings. This is what he often did in the past.
But gradually, he discovered that tonight's review process was a little unusual.
It was like a slideshow in his mind, and the scenes he had just experienced before emerged intact.
All details and processes are displayed completely.
Especially the final killing sword executed by Luo Haolin, who impressed me the most, was so clear.
He seemed to be immersed in the scene, and felt the suffocation feeling at that time again, as if he smelled the terrible breath called death again.
then.
Even the information that should have been ignored by him was reproduced in his mind as he recalled it more and more intently at this moment.
The angle of the light from the lights on the pavilion, the blowing strength of the evening breeze.
The light on the sword, the changes in the five fingers of Luo Haolin's palm when holding the hilt, the expression in his eyes and face, the steps under his feet, the rhythm of his breathing, and the way he exerts force.
Song Changming can even slow down All these images come to mind.
Is this also the effect of ‘potential stimulation’? Greatly increases the deduction ability!
