"Eleven, check Wang Chao's recent news."
Duan Zhen and Duan Shiyi said something and asked the researchers to carry the instruments upstairs.
The middle five or six floors of this super giant tower are set up as research rooms, which is enough for these people to tinker.
It didn't take long for Duan Shiyi to report with the information, all of which were what Wang Chao had done during this period.
"Are you ready to organize a martial arts conference..."
Duan Zhen nodded. He knew that this martial arts conference would only invite some masters from Southeast Asia.
Several things happened after that, which made Wang Chao want to attend the conference with all the masters in the world.
There is still plenty of time.
"Wang Chao and GOD leader are still fighting."
Duan Zhen remembered that before the martial arts competition, Ba Liming would even fight the GOD leader once, and he would be seriously injured in that fight.
But now, Ba Liming's strength is becoming increasingly unpredictable. If the two of them fight, they may not know until they actually fight.
Duan Zhen asked Duan Shiyi to continue to send people to keep an eye on Wang Chao's activities, and then sat calmly on the floor.
He took the opportunity to talk to Ba Liming about the practice of alchemy.
At present, he has reached the peak of Huajin cultivation, and he feels that he is only a little short of being able to hold the elixir and sit on his hips.
But the further I practice, the more difficult it becomes.
This kind of breakthrough is more mysterious than Ming Jin breaking through Dark Jin. It requires all the energy, blood and marrow of the whole body to be concentrated to one point.
Just like the beginning of the world, the origin of the evolution of the world.
This step has stumped many people throughout the ages.
Even the current number of alchemy paths in the dragon and snake world does not exceed twenty.
Just as Ba Liming came out, he took the opportunity to ask for advice.
Ba Liming was also sitting on the ground. Seeing Duan Zhen asking questions, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and spoke slowly:
"I was about 27 or 28 years old when I broke through the alchemy path. At that age..."
There was a sense of nostalgia in Ba Liming's eyes, and he actually talked about a piece of past history first.
That was the story of the sixties and seventies.
At that time, materials were not abundant, and living standards in all aspects were far inferior to what they are now.
China also experienced many hardships during that period, including three years of famine.
I can’t even eat enough, let alone practice martial arts.
This is the truth since ancient times.
Ba Liming's voice is usually very rough and intimidating.
But when telling stories, there is a sense of calming people's hearts, making people involuntarily follow his words and think about the past.
Duan Zhen listened to Ba Liming's words for a long time, with a strong sense of nostalgia in his words, and he truly felt the various nuances of that era.
After talking for almost an hour, Ba Liming mentioned another person.
"Li Yaochen? Grand Master of the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer?"
Duan Zhen became extremely curious when he heard Ba Liming talking about Li Yaochen.
He knew that Ba Liming and Li Yaochen had fought against each other in their youth.
"That's right, Li Yaochen of the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer, Senior Li. The last battle before I broke through the alchemy path was against him."
"Did Master win?"
Duan Zhen asked meaningfully. He also wanted to know who won and who lost between Ba Liming and Li Yaochen.
When Ba Liming heard Duan Zhen's question, his eyes drifted further, as if he was thinking of that fight.
Duan Zhen also waited quietly. He knew that some memories would gradually become blurred, and some things would still make people recall them to this day.
Presumably that encounter was unforgettable for Ba Liming.
"I was less than twenty-five years old at that time, which was when my body's energy was at its strongest. In addition, I was particularly aggressive at that time, and my fighting style was extremely brave and diligent. And senior Li Yaochen was already ninety years old at the time. "
Ba Liming thought about it for a long time before speaking slowly.
Duan Zhen nodded. Even if Dan Dao could manipulate a body of Qi and blood at will, it would not be a problem to live to be one hundred, twenty or thirty years old.
But that is also the most ideal state.
You must maintain extremely good living habits for a long time, and you must not smoke, drink or overeat.
In particular, there shouldn't be too many hidden injuries.
Only in this way can Qi and blood be maintained from declining.
And Li Yaochen's experience of that era... was also a past of war and passion.
"When I was fighting against Senior Li, I could feel his energy and blood declining, so I just stopped. Then, he showed me how to break through the alchemy path."
Ba Liming suddenly stood up and walked towards the weapons display area in the martial arts arena.
This floor is extremely spacious, and there are all kinds of weapons on the field.
Duan Zhen followed Baliming to a shelf filled with knives, and saw Baliming speaking in a deep voice:
"He showed me a sword technique called Wuji."
"Promise Knife?"
"You happen to have this kind of knife here. I will demonstrate it to you today."
Baliming looked at the various knives on the weapon rack, picked one of them, and gently stroked the blade.
The length of this knife is similar to that of an ordinary long sword, nearly one meter in length.
The blade is not as wide as a traditional broadsword, but only slightly wider than the hilt.
The most peculiar thing is that its knife head is actually edged on both sides, and only the area close to the handle is edged on one side.
At first glance it looks very strange, resembling both a knife and a sword.
It's as if it can be used as a sword to stab at critical moments, and as a knife to cut at ordinary times.
"Watch it!"
Ba Liming held the handle of the knife with both hands and struck straight out.
There was no surge of energy in this exertion, it was just the most ordinary slash.
It seemed as if the person who exerted the force had no cultivation, nor had he learned any martial arts training, so he could only use all his strength to strike out with this ordinary sword.
When he took out the sword, the blade drooped slightly, with the edge facing towards himself.
Then he raised the knife again, knocking the back of the knife upward while drawing an arc forward with the blade.
"This knife..."
Duan Zhen's eyes were so quick that he saw the clue almost instantly.
He immediately picked up a knife, imitated Ba Liming's movements and slashed with the force, then raised the knife and struck the arc.
"This knife seems very simple, but it is indeed very useful. The chopping is turned into one action, and at the same time the back of the knife knocks back, slitting the throat. Because there are blades on both sides, it is extremely unexpected. It seems to be just a move, but it is Several different attacks were involved."
Duan Zhen imagined that his opponent had just raised his knife to block his chop.
And he immediately took advantage of the situation and cut his throat.
Because both sides of the knife head are sharpened, it is impossible for the opponent to defend against it.
After Duan Zhen practiced it several times, doubts arose again:
"Master, the advantage of this move is actually surprise. If the opponent is prepared, wouldn't it be a waste of the advantage of split strength?"
He couldn't figure out why he didn't just cut through the opponent's defense with one knife, and then use the most powerful knife style to defeat the opponent.
Just like what he likes to use the most is the open and close boxing technique, especially the Heaven-shaking Seal and Random Arrow Strike that suit him best.
Ba Liming shook his head, his eyes becoming a little distant again.
He raised the knife again and slashed down.
Suddenly, a sword intent ignited from the blade.
Violent and rich, move forward without any regrets.
"This sword technique is not meant for fighting. It is a battlefield technique."
He slashed down with his sword in the air, then jumped up and drew an arc.
The sword intent that was so cruel that it could shake mountains and rivers spread along the blade, and the airflow around it became strong, like air turning into pulp, rotating heavily.
And Ba Liming also stood tall and roared, asking Duan Zhen:
“In Li Yaochen’s time, who were our country’s foreign enemies?”
This sound goes straight into the heart, like a shout.
Duan Zhen was silent for a moment, and his eyes became more serious.
He had fallen into a misunderstanding before, thinking that this sword technique was for fighting people alone.
It turned out to be the way to kill on the battlefield.
And it was still a battlefield in that era.
Fusang invades China!
Duan Zhen was thinking silently, his thoughts drifting away.
It was an era when mountains and rivers were broken, and it was also the most tragic era for China.
Not everyone is a great master like Li Yaochen, almost all of them are ordinary people who don't even have enough to eat.
They were living peacefully, but suddenly they were invaded by this kind of invasion that destroyed their country and their family, and they could only fight hard.
They didn't know any boxing skills, and they hadn't even held weapons before.
This Wuji Knife cuts down in one stroke, and no other move can achieve such an extreme level of release.
As long as you know this move, you can kill the enemy and protect your home and country!
This sword is the only one that an ordinary person can use to burn his life and burst into glory on the battlefield!
No wonder Ba Liming's two swings of the sword have different artistic conceptions.
The first time was ordinary, the other time was tragic and intense, and indomitable.
"The Promise Knife!"
Duan Zhen made a sudden movement. He suddenly pumped up his energy and blood, and the long knife opened an arc in mid-air, setting off a slight wave of air.
As the sword light turned, it seemed as if he wanted to rush back to that era in time.
He listened to Ba Liming continue to talk about that period of history, and once again heard the inhumane and heinous things.
This is the history he has learned since he was a child, and it is also a history that every Chinese will never forget.
"Your mind, your strength, your heart have found purity between life and death, so what is your intention? Is it domineering? Indifferent? Heartless? Carefree? You can only find these by yourself."
Ba Liming shook his head. He gently placed the Wuji Knife on the weapon rack and left with his hands behind his back.
Duan Zhen danced the long knife faster and faster, as if he wanted to use the power of the knife to split open the sudden thoughts in his chest.
Those things were just history to him, but they were personal experiences for many ancestors.
Coupled with Ba Liming's recollection, it suddenly seemed even more profound.
"The sword is boundless, this sword... must determine the fate of the mountains and rivers!"
Duan Zhen was silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a long roar and suddenly swung the long knife.
The knife flew across the sky like a white dragon, cutting through the air and merging straight into the frame.
Then, a ripple visible to the naked eye gradually appeared five meters around him, as if the air had turned into water.
"woo woo woo woo!"
In the martial arts arena, the wind suddenly blew.
The sound of the wind kept whining, but it was extremely subtle and almost imperceptible.
But as Duan Zhen continued to exert force, the wind became stronger and faster.
His body gradually lifted off the ground due to the surge of wind, floating nearly one meter in the air.
Then, he stepped hard, stamping the air with a loud bang.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Master...!"
Duan Shiyi walked from the door and immediately saw this scene of standing in the air and walking in the wind.
At this moment, Duan Zhen's expression was lofty and unpredictable, and his aura was distant and vague.
It is like a true immortal walking in the world, which makes people feel hard to resist.
There was no emotion in his eyes, and his voice became a little indifferent:
"I want to go to Fuso."
