Chapter 408: Still waters run deep
It is said that Chen Long and Bao Yue's perfect combination of "Jie Jian Dao" made Zijing defeated. However, Bao Yue was injured and Qiu Jian disappeared, making the situation complicated. The internal gangs of the Nanlin Sword Sect began to surface, and the first one to find a place for Qiu Jian and Zijing was the second swordsman of the Sword Sect, Wen Shu.
The ordinary members of the gang only knew that the second swordsman was named Wen Shu, but Chen Long happened to have a light brain in his head, which contained detailed information on the characters of the Three Kingdoms. Wen Shu's surname was Wang Chang, and he was also a famous general in the late Cao Wei Dynasty in official history. The most important thing is that he has an unclear relationship with Wang Yue and Wang Yun, because with the surname Wang, they are all backed by the powerful Wang family.
What arose from this was the suspicion that the entire Wang family was behind the scenes. The Wang family is a well-known royalist faction. Although they stated that they would retain the royal family, they would deprive them of imperial power. It seems that the Liu family of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not give in to this and only maintained peace with Chen Long on the surface. Chen Long couldn't help but feel slightly worried. How are the Huang Gai brothers doing in Chang'an? Fortunately, Xu Shu's military advisor is by his side.
If it is really the collusion between Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao, it is really scary to think about it. This shows that his rapid rise has become the biggest threat and nightmare to all the heroes in the world. It is difficult to say what kind of consensus they have reached in private and how many heroes will be included in the agreement to eliminate themselves this time.
Still water flows deep, and everything you see is superficial. During the Three Kingdoms period, ingenuity and intrigue were brought to the extreme. Enemies around you may come to collude with you out of profit the next day, while close allies may show their fangs to you the next day.
Chen Long's thoughts were flying, and Wen Shu's voice came, interrupting Chen Long's thoughts. I heard Wen Shu's deep and steady voice say: "Since Zijing has given the position of acting great swordsman to the younger brother of the Zhen family, I am about to try the swordsmanship of Master Zhen." As he spoke, he flicked his thumb on the ring of the sword hilt. On the head, there was a scraping sound, and the ring-headed sword showed a dazzling light. It was indeed another sword.
All the disciples, including Zhou Mi, couldn't help but burst into an uproar. These past few days have been a series of battles, and the First Sword Faction has never been so turbulent. It has reached the limit of what the disciples can bear. Unexpectedly, the second sword master came and wanted to compete with Zhen Dong in swordsmanship again. Isn't this bullying?
Chen Long smiled slightly and raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. Bao Yue was injured and resting. She was not with her at the moment. Chen Long felt at ease and said: "The Second Sword Master gave me a lesson, how dare I disobey it? It's just that my ordinary sword is no match for the Second Sword Master's magic weapon." As he said this, he drew out his own sword. The newly replaced ordinary long sword, all the disciples cheered and cleared a space to watch.
Chen Long wanted to use words to force Wen Shu to change his sword, but Wen Shu was not fooled and still pulled out the ring-shou sword and made a starting gesture without saying a word, making it clear that he wanted to take advantage of the weapon. Chen Long was slightly shocked. This man had no face, was unmoved, and had a ruthless sword. Could it be that he had murderous intentions towards him? You should be careful about this person's methods.
Chen Long made a sword gesture and looked at the strange-shaped ring-headed sword in Wen Shu's hand. The ring head increases the weight of the hilt and changes the center of gravity of the sword, which inevitably means that the trajectory of the sword is different. A small movement of the wrist may cause a large movement of the sword tip, making the landing point of the sword point more difficult to predict, so be careful.
Wen Shu stood firmly on the spot, with a sword in front of him motionless, as if he was a hungry wolf waiting to choose someone to devour. That stability will give the opponent the most powerful psychological pressure. Chen Long feels the same way. To deal with this calmness, the only way to deal with it is to be calmer than him.
Chen Long held the long sword in his right hand, hiding it behind his shoulder and arm, leaving only the tip of the sword slightly exposed on his shoulder. The two feet are uneven, and this station is like a Yuanding mountain. The momentum is dignified, like a mountain, and it is difficult to shake.
The two of them faced off like this for a long time, neither of them willing to take action rashly, losing their momentum. The disciples began to talk about each other, and there was a lot of noise around them. Chen Long did not move at all, their eyes met, and they did not even blink. Wen Shu's steady aura finally revealed a bit of murderous intent, which was revealed through his eyes. As soon as the murderous intention moved, his heart immediately fluctuated, and the hand holding the sword tightened slightly.
Chen Long, who was in the middle of the game, immediately felt the tiny movements of Wen Shu's right hand from the interlocking momentum. With one move, his whole body was moved. Chen Long's long sword was pulled by the energy and attacked quickly.
Chen Long's sword was at the peak of his momentum, and his attack speed was several times faster than usual. Combined with Chen Long's proud Qinggong, he was in front of Wen Shu in the blink of an eye. In the world of martial arts, only fast moves are unbreakable. Chen Long's sword move was mediocre, but the supersonic speed reached Wen Shu's lower abdomen. It wasn't until everyone saw the sword move clearly that they heard the sword whistle.
Confrontation with long swords is nothing more than dodging or blocking, and then quickly counterattacking to take the initiative. Wen Shu was steady, and as expected, he did not dodge or evade. The ring-shou sword moved like flying, and drew a Tai Chi flower. It stuck to Chen Long's quick sword and stirred it up. It turned out to be the original Tai Chi sword technique.
Tai Chi Sword has the characteristics of both Tai Chi and swordsmanship styles. On the one hand, it should be like Tai Chi, the sword is light, soft, continuous, and the emphasis is not heavy. On the other hand, the sword technique should be graceful and unrestrained, the sword technique should be clear, and the sword technique should be both physical and spiritual. Tai Chi sword is based on fist postures, using familiar weapons, extending the limbs, using the sword as one's own body, and controlling the sword with one's body. It contrasts with the sword tactics and goes hand in hand. The spirit, mind, energy, and strength are perfectly integrated, and all parts of the body are in harmony with each other. Breathing and breathing are accurate and natural, movements are hard and soft, active but not frivolous, heavy and not sluggish. As the saying goes, those with virtue enjoy it, and those with strength use it.
This first sword duel actually shocked Wen Shu. Chen Long's move was the first-class fast sword Wen Shu had ever seen. In terms of speed alone, Wang Chang had only seen it on his uncle Wang Yue. Although the sword moves were vulgar, he was forced to attack with all his strength. This move, hanging the sword, using stillness to stop, and using slowness to stop fast, was the ultimate pursuit of his Tai Chi swordsmanship. The ring-shou sword pressed against Chen Long's long sword from front to back and moved parallel to Chen Long's long sword, suddenly slowing down Chen Long's long sword. Immediately afterwards, the sword of the ring-shou sword stood up and was lifted from back to front and upward. It was the so-called lifting of the sword. A weaker opponent would have the long sword flew away immediately.
Although Chen Long has never practiced Tai Chi sword, he practiced Tai Chi in his previous life and is well aware of the power of Tai Chi skills. However, Chen Long was thousands of years more advanced than Wen Shu in his understanding of Tai Chi. At this time, the long sword was locked by Wen Shu. Chen Long didn't even think about it. A stream of true energy penetrated from his waist, shoulders, arms to wrists, and a long The blade of the sword slid along the body of the ring-headed sword, and the flat sword was tied from left to right, immediately freeing Wen Shu's move of lifting the sword.
Wen Shu was shocked when he struck out with his sword. He had studied the sword technique for ten years. How could this guy across from him know it? He hurriedly pulled the sword back from front to side, then turned his wrist and pressed down, suppressing Chen Long's sliding sword. , and then with a burst of real power, the ring-headed sword slid lengthwise along the edge of Chen Long's long sword and pierced Chen Long's heart.
These moves were all lightning. When Chen Long saw that the ring-shou sword could not move away from his vital points, Chen Long was determined to kill him. His hands were not soft at all. He immediately lowered his wrist and pecked upwards with the tip of the sword's blade. The ring-headed sword attached to the sword's body bounced away. The two of them were fighting hand-to-hand, and the long swords were mixed together to show their own abilities. At the same time, it was also full of dangers. No matter who was not careful, they might be penetrated by a transparent hole with a sword.
The more Wang Wenshu fought, the more frightened he became. Chen Long's Tai Chi sword moves were endless. Chen Long was performing Tai Chi moves that he had not expected in minutes. Wen Shu's sword couldn't help but slow down. This was really the best opportunity for him to learn. Those sword moves were full of fantastic ideas and triggered many inspirations for sword moves.
The duel between the two really benefited Wen Shu a lot. As for Chen Long, he was always thinking about how to get out of the entanglement. However, his opponent was steady and his Tai Chi sword was very abrasive. Chen Long's long sword collapsed and he took a few steps back. After a round of internal energy swallowing, he quickly changed to a simpler set of fast swords, but they were the assassin's swords he learned from Bao Yue.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
