Which one is stronger, musket or martial arts? This is a question that the Chamber of Commerce has been thinking about since it entered Shengguo, and now it has become a question that the entire Shengguo martial arts community is thinking about.
There is a saying that seems to be more reliable at present - the winner between the two depends on distance and speed. To be precise, someone put forward the saying that "within seven steps, the punch is fast, and the gun is fast with seven steps." This view is also supported by many people.
Long-term, high-level training makes the warrior's instant reaction and explosive power extremely strong. In particular, it takes time to draw a gun and aim, which gives the warrior a chance to instantly kill the gunman or disarm him at a very short distance. However, when manpower is limited, If the distance is extended, then most people will not be able to compete with bullets.
But Vasily sneered at this statement. A gunman like him who has received rigorous training since childhood and is extremely talented can draw and aim his gun in one go as long as he loads his ammunition in advance - his own shooting skills. It can be fired instantly, so fast that at this distance he can completely ignore the process of confirming the target with the naked eye. The distance factor that is a disadvantage for ordinary shooters is actually an advantage for him.
In his opinion, "A gun is fast from seven steps away, but within seven steps, a gun is accurate and fast!"
In the smoke-filled barrel of the gun, tongues of fire spurted out. This shot was unavoidable, and this shot would kill in one hit.
"Ah... is it really necessary to kill him?"
Vasily's eyes were so frightened that they almost burst out of their sockets. At this distance, there was no chance that he would miss. Even if he fired a hundred shots, he would hit a hundred hits.
But Yan Chunlai's knife was on his neck - two knives.
"You have a second musket, and I also have a second knife." Yan Chunlai offered up his right-hand knife named "Golden Eagle Beak". Different from the peacock tail with a smooth blade and a supple handle, the Golden Eagle Beak was just like a As its name suggests, it was vicious and cruel, with four blood grooves opened and a barb growing on the back of the knife.
"How do you know..." Halfway through his words, Vasily realized belatedly that he didn't actually need to ask - if Pavel and others were killed by him, and the other party had the habit of touching corpses, Then he should know that each of them was equipped with a short gun for self-defense. At this moment, he wanted to know how the man just avoided his fatal attack.
"Ah, it's still quite difficult." Yan Chunlai breathed out: "The moment you fired, I aimed the knife at the path of the bullet..."
Even the bullets coming out of the barrel can be cut accurately... Should I say whether this person is strong or courageous? Vasily was completely desperate and sat down on the ground, giving up all resistance.

Liu Qingfeng's speed was not fast, at least slower than when Yan Chunlai and Yu Ruyi ran to two different places to kill the snipers, but his efficiency was very high - very high. As of now, there is no one standing on the second floor of the inn except him. Even Suhara Futoko, who "put out the fire" from the first floor and invaded the second floor, is not immune - and this is because he kept his hand.
Considering that this was a collective action, Liu Qingfeng chose a very mild poison that only caused coma. Otherwise, he might have poisoned everyone in the inn. It is true that no matter what kind of poison, the internal force has no effect on the person. They are all resistant, but as time passes under the poisonous mist, they still cannot avoid being attacked. With every breath and breath, the poisonous smoke has entered the opponent's body, and the best countermeasure is to rely on more Apart from resisting for a period of time with deep internal strength, the only way is to exercise the power and adjust the breath.
After killing all the killers on the second floor, Liu Qingfeng slowly walked up to the third floor. Seeing the rise of Wei's attack, he had no intention of intervening.
But for Luo Xingzhou, this psychological pressure is huge - a bit similar to the blue-faced Yama who was buried in Xiaoshan. He didn't know if and when the other party would attack him, so he had to distract himself, which also led to As a result, he who was already invincible was slapped wildly by Wei Kui.
"Just watch this guy, I'll go out to help." Wei Kui threw the unconscious Luo Xingzhou to Liu Qingfeng's supervision, and then jumped down from the window - there were still men fighting with Zhao Xike outside. The killer.

When it comes to the level of brutality - I mean both the physical damage to both sides and the damage to the battlefield environment, there is no doubt that the ambush battle that broke out in the corridor on the first floor was the most brutal.
The two top experts, Suharaga and Taoyin, have demolished more than half of the two earthen walls of the corridor, but the outcome is still unclear.
Of course, the one who found it even more difficult to calm down was Suharaga. He was not distracted by the fighting situation in other places, but was simply surprised that his sword could not hurt the opponent at all.
As strong as Guan Lingxiao, he deserves to be stabbed, but this fat monk is like an iron bell - Suharaga has seen Yangsu's moves while sitting in the audience. The two monks are exactly the same. He also thought about what if it was him How to break through this turtle shell-like defense.
It was Xiao Kelong who inspired him - to target the weakest point he could find and attack fiercely. Suharaga also did the same, but the effect was not as good as he imagined.
In fact, there are two most practical ways to crack the "Iron Clothes" - the first is to focus on one point with an attack slightly greater than the defense of the Iron Clothes like Xiao Kelong did, and the second is to use the opponent to form a Tieyi's Qi was exhausted. Of course, the so-called cracking strategy must also be based on strong strength, otherwise you will be beaten to death with one punch.
Seeing that Suhara couldn't fight for a long time, he simply gave up the idea of a quick victory. Their school also focused on waiting for opportunities, so he danced with his sword wildly and used "Return" on the fat monk who was slightly glowing with golden light. !
This fat monk is not very fast due to his size, nor is he good at movement, but his reactions are not slow. This windmill-like slashing may be able to create some loopholes.
With a series of "ding-dong-dang" noises, Suharaga, who was pressing closer and closer, forced Tao On into a corner. Now, as long as Tao On uses his same trick again, his "golden bell" that can shake things around—— During the fight, Suharaga had already realized that the moment he used the Golden Bell, the iron coat covering Baoyin's body would dissipate for about a breath, and that was the best time for him to use his killing move!
Sure enough, the gilded bell-shaped energy enveloped the great monk, and Suharaga also took this opportunity to use his strongest thrust!
Under the moon, there is a true new undercurrent, forbidden hands, and rain.
But this genius sword move did not work as expected, because Monk Baoyin had a very outrageous thing in his hands - in order to disguise himself as Maitreya Buddha, he hid the bronze statue of Buddha originally placed on the shrine. , at this moment, this thing was located exactly at the blind spot where he was being approached.
The bronze statue, which was as tall as one person, was like a deformed sledgehammer in Baoyin's hands, and was thrown towards Suharaga's face. The Grand Master was thrown several feet away by this nondescript attack that deceived masters and destroyed ancestors. Far.

He Nan was playing chess with Shi Xiaowen, but the game he was playing was neither Go nor chess, but a chess game from the West.
Because Shi Xiaowen had spent a lot of time in the Chamber of Commerce, he was asked by He Nan to teach him some Western knowledge - such as more basic foreign language, and this game that is somewhat similar to chess - he I believe that board games are the crystallization of wisdom. Through playing them, I can better understand the way Westerners think.
"You are really brave. The masters are not here, so you are not afraid that I will take this opportunity to kill you and then run away?" Shi Xiaowen smiled, showing two rows of jagged teeth.
"It's not just a day or two since they left. You haven't killed me for so many days. What reason can't you think about today?" He Nan was holding a black chess piece and thinking about its position. It was as flat as Shengguo chess. The design of the chess pieces is different. The chess pieces of this kind are upright and have a base shape, which looks more delicate. Moreover, each piece has a different name and move method like chess. For example, He The chess piece in Nan's hand, with a top similar to a city wall structure, has very similar action rules to the "rook" in chess.
However, Shi Xiaowen's mind was not on this game of chess at all. Instead, he had been feeling uneasy about He Nan's behavior: "Is there a possibility that Brother Chai originally wanted to spare your life, but now he wants to kill you?" ?”
"Absolutely not." He Nan replied firmly without raising his head or eyes, "But to hear what you mean...it seems that your brother Chai is not friendly towards the imperial court?"
"Ah?" Although Shi Xiaowen wanted to ask He Nan how he came to such a conclusion that was very close to the correct answer, he did not dare to speak - he could still fool him now, and if he asked, it would be equivalent to not beating himself up. Recruited?
"I know you want to ask, and I also want to show off." He Nan stretched out and his joints made a rattling sound: "Brother Chai of yours is a very capable person, but what do you do? This assumption is that he may have murderous intentions towards me. This is by no means groundless, indicating that his position may be detrimental to me. So why would he kill me? The answer is very simple. , after sifting out all the interests that have nothing to do with us, there is only one thing left - I am a member of the imperial court. Of course, my position and power are too small. Killing me will not only be meaningless, but will also cause trouble for myself. , so I said there is absolutely no such possibility."
Shi Xiaowen curled his lips: "I didn't say anything."
"I took your words as 'admiration'." He Nan smiled, and then ignored the situation on the chessboard: "If you are really crazy and want to take action, just kill me now, almost tonight A few of them came back, and after passing this village, there was no such shop."
"Ah? Is it so fast to go back and forth?" Shi Xiaowen asked in surprise.
"Of course not, but they are divided into two groups..." He Nan smiled.
From the beginning, Zhao Xike, who was responsible for escorting the prisoners, did not set off with the large army. The combination of Si Dark Arrow and Wei Kui deliberately acted with Zhao Xike's county soldiers in order to attract attention. The real purpose of this team was to lure the killer. They took the bait to ensure that Zhao Xike could arrive in the capital safe and sound.
This strategy is called "Escape from the Golden Cicada" in Shengguo's art of war, and there is also a term in chess to describe similar behavior, which is the "castling of the king's rook" that He Nanda had just learned.
