In the Blade

Du Chengfeng was really startled when he first saw Xiang Rong suddenly jump out.

Fortunately, he was riding a horse. This war horse was given to him by Liu Yanran. Although it was definitely not a top horse, it could still be called a war horse, at least it had four legs.

It is a matter of course that four legs can run faster than two legs.

It was normal for him to be able to avoid the blows of the halberd while riding a war horse.

So what is Xiang Rong surprised about? Could it be that he thinks he can run faster than a horse?

"Huh? You also have a tattoo?"

Starting with a trash talk to disrupt his opponent's thinking, Du Chengfeng swung the big knife in his hand and struck it with a fire knife.

The blazing blade struck out, but Du Chengfeng ran further.

A fool would not run away. There was something obviously wrong with the luminous tattoo on Xiang Rong's body, not to mention that the opponent even held a spurge in his hand that looked extremely outrageous at first glance. He had not seen this clearly because of the distance a few times before. It looked like a big halberd. Only when he got closer did he realize what kind of ferocious monster it was.

The halberd shaft wrapped with red silk was actually a pale spine that was nine feet long. On the top of the spine, there were two skulls. One skull spit out the halberd's horizontal blade, and the other skull A skull looked up to the sky and spit out the sharp point of a euphorbia.

Different from the halberds Du Chengfeng saw in the arsenal, these two halberd blades were like rare swords. Just looking at them would make people feel cold all over.

This is not so much a weapon as a work of art, but this art piece is still stained with blood, and its shape is a bit too cruel and bloody no matter how you look at it.

"What a vicious weapon!"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

This was also the first time he knew that a weapon could be made like this. The arrogant and overbearing shape was as cool as the weapon skin in the game.

It's so powerful. It's really amazing. No man can refuse such a majestic halberd.

Really, really want it.

"ha!"

The barge horse turned around, and Du Chengfeng, who had originally planned to escape, turned around and rushed back.

The non-stop posture was actually a bit faster than the speed of escaping just now!

"???"

After waving the great halberd to break through the blazing sword light, Xiang Rong was about to continue the pursuit, but he saw his opponent rushing back.

Xiang Rong's brain suddenly ran out.

He could understand his opponent running away. After all, they had never fought head-on before. The monster wielding the fire blade was obviously afraid of him. But at this moment, the monster suddenly changed its attitude and even dared to confront him. He came straight over!

Is this monster crazy? How dare you rush towards him!

"court death!"

Xiang Rong swung the halberd with great force, just to make the monster sacrifice his blood to the magic weapon on the spot!

Even though the monster in front of him can already feed on tigers and wolves, after experiencing this killing, he has already developed a strong will that is enough to change reality!

However, just when the Overlord's halberd and the blazing sword light were about to collide.

Xiang Rong's sight suddenly caught a bit of cold light hidden behind the blazing sword light.

"Despicable!"

With his left hand, he patted his waist, and the Bailian soft sword hidden in the belt came out of its sheath. The soft Bailian steel was almost twisted into a twist at this moment, and it was able to wrap up the flying edgeless heavy sword.

Xiang Rong was simply too familiar with this sharp sword.

This is clearly Ruan Shantao's personal armament.

He actually hid such a secret hand. Are he planning to use this weapon to avenge Ruan Shantao?

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is meaningless.

"Buzz——"

The overlord's halberd in his right hand faced the blazing sword light, but Xiang Rong's hundred-refined soft sword in his left hand had also been raised. A large amount of evil energy gathered on the sword body. This sword light was enough to crack mountains and crack rocks!

But the left hand holding the sword failed to swing it.

Just because a big hand seemed to be stuck on his wrist.

"Varied……"

Only then did Xiang Rong realize that what struck the Overlord's halberd was just a blazing fire knife.

But the man with the knife was already approaching under the cover of fire!

The halberd easily stabbed down the blazing flame blade in the air, but the other big hand had already grabbed Xiang Rong's collar.

Xiang Rong is extremely familiar with this posture. This is clearly the most popular form of box wrestling on the grassland!

"drink!"

After exhaling and speaking loudly, Xiang Rong lowered his waist and sat on his horse.

Indeed, he also admitted that the opponent could think of a way to abandon the sword and get close at the critical moment, which was considered a bit of quick wit, but to him who had already tempered his strong will, what did it mean?

Strong will can change reality!

"Hey!"

Just when the monster in front of him was about to use force to overthrow him, Xiang Rong also exerted force suddenly, and the feather patterns all over his body burst out with dazzling light, making him extremely powerful for a moment!

Then, everything started to spin.

Xiang Rong still flew up.

Until his whole body hit the ground, Xiang Rong couldn't understand what happened just now. It's obvious that his will is already so strong, it's obvious that he already has the power to change reality, why would he still do it, why would he still do it...

"You're an old man, and you're still wrestling with me."

Locking Xiang Rong's arms with both hands, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look at his thick arms, and then at Xiang Rong's body, which could only be regarded as showing signs of exercise.

He just felt that this old man had lost his mind.

As the old saying goes, boxing is afraid of young people. This old man is already old, so how dare he compete with him in terms of strength?

You know, even before he learned wrestling, he had never lost in a fight with bare hands.

"you……"

Looking at the confident look on the monster's face, Xiang Rong suddenly realized something.

It's not that he failed to change reality, he even did it once. Driven by his strong will, his body has exploded with impossible power.

But this strong will that could change reality ran into another reality.

His hesitation, his confusion, his doubts, his hesitation, his greed, his persistence, his plan, his decision-making... From the moment he needed to find a way to deal with this monster, he had already lost. Completely.

Obviously with his strength, not to mention Ruan Shantao's disciples, even Ruan Shantao himself, he would kill as soon as he said it, without thinking of any method at all - but this time, just this time, he had too much to think about. A little more.

One misstep will lead to eternal regret.

"Woo!"

At this moment, Xiang Rong felt a sudden pain in his chest and abdomen.

Yes, Bock wrestling is originally modeled on the battlefield fighting of armored warriors. After those big and round prairie warriors throw their enemies to the ground, they will take out the knives on their waists and stab them through the gaps in their armor.

One handle, two handles, three handles, five handles... A total of twenty-five short blades of various types were stabbed at Xiang Rong's body. For a moment, Xiang Rong was stabbed like a sieve, with holes all over his body.

Only after confirming that Xiang Rong was breathing in but not out, Du Chengfeng got up from Xiang Rong.

He actually did it.

However, it is only normal to do this kind of thing. After all, he almost risked his life for this close combat - whether it was using a knife against a halberd or approaching with bare hands, if there was a slight mistake in the middle, he would There was a corpse on the spot. You must know that this is Xiang Rong, a prairie national master, and a terrifying monster that is almost the same as Ruan Shantao!

But it was precisely because of Ruan Shantao's existence that he was so dangerous.

"Why……"

Just when Du Chengfeng stood up, Xiang Rong on the ground made a weak sound.

"Why are you, a talented person like you, willing to be a dog to Nan Chen... Is it because I killed your master? Is it because of Ruan Shantao?"

"...Actually not."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help scratching his head when he heard Xiang Rong, who was dying, asking this question.

That was indeed not the case. After all, he was not familiar with Old Ruan. Although the other party did ask him to go to the mountains to attend classes, he didn't even attend a single class, and Old Ruan was already dead.

It was just a one-time relationship, so how could there be any talk of revenge?

"Well, you're going to die too, so I'll tell you the truth."

With a sigh, Du Chengfeng squatted on the ground and looked at Xiang Rong not far away.

"First of all, I'm not Chen, and secondly, I'm not here for revenge... Okay, don't open your mouth, I know what you want to ask. I also know what old man Ruan talks about benevolence and righteousness, but I haven't attended the class, and it's not for that."

Having said this, Du Chengfeng looked into Xiang Rong's eyes.

"I just want to see if I can kill you all."

"Just... this?"

Xiang Rong fell to the ground and was stunned.

He had thought of too many outcomes for the reason why this monster would take action, such as revenge for his master, fighting for benevolence and righteousness, for the sake of the Nanchen court, or for his own promotion... But he could never imagine that this monster and His reason for fighting was so outrageous.

Just because of this bullshit reason, they are going to fight like this?

Is this a bullshit reason that interrupted the great cause of Dachu's rejuvenation?

"Just this."

Du Chengfeng nodded.

"Although I know I should leave, I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't try."

Perhaps this is the most important thing that Old Man Ruan taught him. Although there was no real teaching between the two parties, the old man used his life to make him understand a truth.

That is, if you want to do it, just do it.

Just do whatever you want to do, don't wait until you are old and regret it for the rest of your life. After many things have missed that time, no matter how much you try to remedy it, it is just self-comfort. Of course, this kind of arbitrary is not free, it requires ability, strength, and the courage to shoulder this responsibility, even if Will pay with his life for this.

Therefore, he was the only one left in this huge Yanzhou city.

Just like Ruan Shantao when he was young, he would fight against the imperial students in the entire Jiankang capital on his own.

Indeed, this kind of move is meaningless and even seems a bit stupid, but as he said, if he doesn't stay and try, he will really not be able to sleep at night when he dreams back at midnight and thinks that he actually ran away. , and Xiang Rong’s unparalleled figure will become a lifelong nightmare. No matter where he goes, he will never settle down. He will be worried, he will be afraid, and he will be afraid that Xiang Rong will lead the prairie cavalry to kill him. come over.

It only took two strikes to kill Ruan Shantao. This man named Xiang Rong was too powerful. Once upon a time, Du Chengfeng had imagined what would happen if a battle started between him and Xiang Rong. The scene - but every time he imagined it, the result was that he was killed instantly, and his entire body was completely wiped out by the mighty sword light.

You can't fight Xiang Rong, you can't fight Xiang Rong directly. He warned himself countless times, but he hesitated again and again - that is, when he hesitated, Xiang Rong took the initiative to swing the big halberd. , killing those prairie soldiers.

Is it some kind of special grassland warfare method? Increase your strength by killing your own people? Du Chengfeng didn't know.

All he knew was that no matter what the enemy did, he needed to try.

If he doesn't even dare to make the most basic attempt, then is his strength just for show?

After all, not every time, the enemy will wait for you to be ready before taking action.

So, follow your heart and move with your blade.

"It really has nothing to do with anything else. I just want to see if I can beat you to death. I really want to try, that's all."

Seeing Xiang Rong on the ground with his dead expression still on his face, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, now that I've done it... I feel so good, like I finally pulled it out, relaxed and happy."

While saying this, Du Chengfeng stretched out his hand and tried to touch the vicious halberd.

Yes, although he said it was only because of that, the real reason for him to turn back was this halberd - no man could refuse such a work of art weapon, no one would.

But Xiang Rong on the ground did not see these small movements. He had lost his sight due to excessive blood loss.

But his consciousness was still stuck in the brief conversation just now.

Is it just for this reason? Just for this reason?

Just because of this reason, his plan to revive Dachu was interrupted?

Just this kind of thing?

"How is it possible..."

Blood seeped out of Xiang Rong's eyes.

Just such a reason, just this shitty reason, can actually defeat his strong will that can change reality? Just because of this reason, this monster can become stronger than him? Why? Why?

Obviously he has paid so much for the revival of Dachu... It is obvious that he is stronger!

"Hate it..."

At the last moment of his life, Xiang Rong's eyes were about to burst.

"I hate it so much!"

boom--

Just when Du Chengfeng was about to touch the euphorbia, Xiang Rong, who was lying in a pool of blood, suddenly exploded into a pillar of fire!

"Varied……"

The red pillar of fire carried the stench of blood, and Du Chengfeng was so startled that he quickly flew away - but he still remembered that this prairie national master named Xiang Rong had killed Ruan Shantao, who had turned into a monster, in two moves. You must know that Ruan Shantao had already taken root in the entire Ziyang Mountain at that time, but he was still killed on the spot by Xiang Rong using some unknown means.

During the battle just now, he was still curious as to why Xiang Rong didn't use that unknown terrifying trick until the end, but looking at it now...

"……Um?"

Seeing something protruding from the bloody pillar of fire, Du Chengfeng was slightly startled.

What protruded from the blood-colored light beam was not Xiang Rong's hand, but a huge bird claw, followed by the second, third, and fourth...the four huge bird claws were like hundred-refined blades. Generally sharp, just looking at the size of the bird's claws, it can even easily grab a bull!

At the same time, a harsh sound came from the mouthparts in the center of the bird's claws.

"I hate it so much, I hate it so much..."

The red pillar of fire instantly turned black.

So hateful, so hateful. Xiang Rong has never been so resentful. He hates the unfairness of the world, hates the eyeless sky, hates everything in the world. He hates everything in front of him!

Therefore, he cannot die yet.

He has not released this deep-seated hatred, he has not avenged the blood revenge in this world, he has not revived the Great Chu, he has not done what he wants to do... He must not die, and he must not die here no matter what!

Just like the immortal phoenix worshiped by the Chu people, even if the lamp has run out, he will be reborn in the flames!

"I hate it so much!"

Eighteen pairs of steel wings tore apart flesh and stretched out, blocking out the sky and the sun, and putrid rain of blood fell from mid-air with a heart-rending cry.

Xiang Rong also opened his four pairs of blind eyes and stared at the only standing figure on the ground.

The jet-black tail feathers fell down overwhelmingly, as sharp as the edge of a hundred-refined sword.
