The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 726 Success in learning swordsmanship
night and day.

By noon of the next day, a total of seven companies of Wala cavalry passed by the huge boulder erected high by the people.

No cavalry company noticed anything unusual, so no one dismounted their horses to examine the traces of fire left on the turf of the huge stone arch bathroom.

I'm afraid no one except the vast world knows that there was once a pair of children clinging to each other here.

……

……

It's about Mo Hai hour.

Maybe I felt the coldness of the autumn night, the bright moon penetrated into the heavy clouds, the stars in the sky shrank, and the moonlight and stars scattered on the earth looked particularly dim.

At this time, in the central and southern part of the Northland, there was a big, sturdy black horse racing toward the southeast under the cover of night like a shooting star.

When it was about ten miles away from a towering city wall in the southeast, the big black horse slowed down and disappeared into a forest like stepping on cotton.

Half an hour later, in the middle of Xixing Pass, there was a temporary single tent that could accommodate a table and a chair, and there was still a little room for sleeping. Wearing cotton fur, leaning on the seat, still feeling the steady intrusion of the Walas. Luo Piaoling, who was strange and yet not asleep, heard the soft sound of wind chimes coming in.

Probably another blessing in disguise for his lost cultivation, Luo Piaoling's sleep can't be said to be very good. He can only say that he sleeps whenever he wants. Once he sleeps, he can fall into a deep sleep. When he wakes up, he has enough energy to deal with various matters. .

This also added a new worry to Luo Piaoling, because he always fell into a deep sleep easily, and had to agree with his companions on a way to wake him up every time he went out.

As long as he sets the wake-up signal in his mind in advance, no matter how deeply he sleeps, once he hears the sound in his sleep, he will wake up naturally.

The sound of wind chimes was the wake-up sound he and Han Wuyue had agreed upon during this trip north.

At present, Luo Piaoling has not gone to bed, but the wind chime is ringing. Naturally, it is not because Han Wuyue failed to keep the wind chime properly or because he is deliberately teasing Luo Piaoling. There must be something else important.

Luo Piaoling thought for a moment, stood up, and said, "Mr. Han, who is here?"

As soon as the words fell, Han Wuyue's blurry figure was reflected on the camp curtain, as well as the other party's concise response.

"Two people returning from the north."

After hearing this, Luo Piaoling's eyes, which were already showing signs of fatigue, suddenly took on a new color, and she quickened her pace towards the door.

Outside the camp, the visitor greeted Han Wuyue, who responded with "Thank you" and raised a corner of the camp curtain.

Before the camp curtain fell, Han Wuyue's figure disappeared into the night again.

At the same moment, an autumn wind blew in, and two people appeared out of thin air.

I don’t know whether the autumn wind brought them two from the north, or whether they brought the autumn wind from the north.

"Love Sword" Luo Piaoling had no intention of being sentimental at this time. Whether the autumn wind sent people away or people passed through the autumn wind, he only knew that his confusion about the Wala people being neither arrogant nor impetuous and advancing steadily could be answered.

……

……

In the early morning of the same day, Lingnan City Pass.

Luo Yue once again mobilized [-] strong troops to attack the city.

This was Luo Yue's tenth frontal attack on Lingnan City in more than half a month.

Although Luo Yue, with the support of Japan, has vigorously promoted maritime trade in the past 20 years and made it an important pillar of the recovery and development of the national economy, it cannot be achieved in just 20 years from scratch, and it is not enough now. Take action to pose any threat to Zhongzhou.

However, strengthening the mainland's combat power is still the main strategic policy of Luo Yue.

In order to cooperate with Japan, Duzhu and other countries to launch an invasion of Zhongzhou this time, Luo Yue prepared 60 elite troops and generals to be ready for action.

The first batch of 15 troops and horses arriving outside Lingnan City mainly engaged in psychological warfare of harassment and feint attacks.

For example, seven of the nine frontal sieges were tentative attacks that were only attempted briefly.

In the other two sieges, the troops were withdrawn in time to stop losses before the number of casualties approached [-].

For the Lingnan garrison of Zhongzhou, even though their group has been replaced by more than 20% compared to the group of [-] years ago, the spirit of the Lingnan Army is still there and its military power remains intact. For most of the month, there have been less than a hundred casualties. It is enough to show that the intensity of the Nanmanzi's attack is just scratching the surface and not something to be afraid of.

However, the victory after victory did not make General Cheng Cheng and his soldiers get carried away.

From the beginning, they all knew that Luo Yue's army was still thundering but not raining, and had not yet fully exerted its strength.

Secondly, Lingnan City's supply poses a big problem.

Although the Red Sect no longer exists and Wang Shuo is dead, his hard work on the southwest waterway of Zhongzhou and the Yunze realm was not completely in vain.

The Red Sect is no longer useful, but the Japanese can still make use of it.

The Japanese craftsmanship that has been deeply cultivated in the inland of Zhongzhou for many years but has not been exposed or excavated has led the Luo Yue people to cross mountains and rivers and secretly cross Chencang, allowing a total of [-] Luo Yue troops and [-] Luo Yue Jianghu people to circumvent the hinterland of Lingnan without anyone noticing. , combined with the power of the Netherworld Sect, the three supply lines leading to the back of Lingnan City were cut off.

After the foreign war 20 years ago, in order to prevent it from happening, Lingnan City Gate opened two new supply lines in addition to the original three supply lines.

Drawing an arc from the northwest to the east, they are Yunfu Avenue, Sanshui Road, Qingyuan Road, Heyuan Road, and South Fujian Avenue where Fujian and Lingnan are mutual supply lines.

At present, the South Fujian Avenue is cut off from the sea by the Japanese, and the Fujian army is working hard to regain control with the support of the Yiyun Villa Jianghu martyrs led by Shuangchi and Li Suran.

Only the Heyuan Road remained, and a group of Zhongzhou Jianghu martyrs and the Lingnan Army guarded this life supply line, barely keeping Lingnan City alive.

This group of Zhongzhou Jianghu people is mainly led by experts from Daoyi League, Tingyuge, Sanrenju, and Zui Hongyan Restaurant.

Feipiao, Zifeng, and Shi Zhonghuo, the three key members of Tingyu Pavilion, are among them.

In order to protect the convoy transporting baggage, there have been frequent offensive and defensive battles on Heyuan Road in the past ten days.

There were three confrontations between Fei Piao and Ye Shang alone.

Feipiao knew very well that he could not let Ye Shang, who was good at wielding a simple sword and had a huge killing potential, do whatever he wanted in this big scene.

As soon as they met, they locked onto Nightmare tightly, preventing the other party from using their hands and feet, and preventing the other party from having a chance to kill.

The double thorns used by Feipiao are not in a strange way, but are fast, agile, fierce, and never give up until the enemy is killed.

Why is Nightmare a vegetarian?
In the past ten years, he has been defeated and injured, but he has never flinched.

Even if the simple sword he wields is not as flexible as the double thorns, he can still make up for the defensive gaps with attack-on-attack methods.

Therefore, if two people like this fight, it will naturally cause chaos and thunder!
In addition, both of them have the temperament to get braver as they fight, and the spirit to fight against all odds, so the longer the fight goes on, the more inseparable they become.

There is no room for a third person to stand within a radius of fifteen feet centered on the two of them, and no one can interfere at all!
If the two of them were not still on the battlefield, otherwise this would have completely reduced to a life-and-death contest among warriors.

In view of the fact that a large amount of cargo and grain were destroyed when the baggage was transported for the first time, only [-]% of it was left when it arrived at the Lingnan city gate. Moreover, the mountains and rivers in Lingnan did not allow the Zhongzhou side to catch all these stowaways in one battle. When Zhongzhou once again transported supplies to the front line, Fang was forced to change his strategy - break it into parts, send small quantities in large quantities, and compete with the stowaways for human consumption.

During the second confrontation, Ye Shang and Feipiao once again staged the same fierce battle.

The two faced each other in life and death again, but neither one could do anything to defeat the other.

Each of them returned to the camp to recuperate with more than ten injuries of various sizes.

In the third round of fighting, perhaps the persuasion of Zifeng and Shi Zhonghuo took effect, and Feipiao finally took the lead in making changes.

She has realized that her solo fight with Ye Shang only limited Ye Shang's personal combat power, but ignored the overall casualties.

Seeing that the number of teammates on the battlefield was getting smaller and smaller every time, Feipiao, who thought he still had the energy to do more, stepped forward to take on more responsibilities without hesitation.

She wanted Ye Shang to chase her and beat her, and let Ye Shang restrain her.

So, she went crazy on Heyuan Road!

The Jianghu people who smuggled themselves from Luoyue have never seen such a crazy woman in their lives.

A dozen or so people couldn't trap this woman even if they all took action together.The thirty or so people taking turns taking turns could not slow down the woman's progress, just like a moth flying into a flame.

If the Nether Sect's "Wolf Judge" hadn't stopped them with a sword, the woman who entered the battle in white clothes and changed into red clothes for a moment must have killed 50 of them and then slaughtered the other half!
After this battle, Feipiao has been engraved in the hearts of Luo Yue people as a female devil who is half white and half red with blood!

As for Nightmare, this is what he said to the Crying Lady.

"I almost fell in love with Feipiao.

"Obviously she was the one who stared at me first.

"Now she has abandoned me and ignored me. I really can't bear to let her go.

“She is, of course, the second woman besides Chasing the Moon that I find both interesting and troublesome.

"That's right, you can't compare to my crying sister."

In this fourth confrontation today, Ye Shang did not dare to let Feipiao go on a killing spree.

As long as they can keep an eye on Feipiao, the Luo Yue people will not be shaken in military morale and unable to lift their swords. Only in this way can they reduce battle losses and have the possibility of stalemate with Zhongzhou.

The Luo Yue army, which has less than 5000 men left, should be able to spend another four or five days with Zhongzhou.

Four or five days later, no matter what the battle situation was like on the front line, their Nether Cult had completed its mission and was able to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.

But when Ye Shang appeared, a sword light had already rushed over like a shooting star!

Since Feipiao no longer came to guard Ye Shang last time, this was the third opponent Ye Shang faced - Tingyuge Zifeng.

Zifeng and Shi Zhonghuo jointly persuaded Feipiao to use Tian Ji's horse racing strategy to contain Ye Shang.

Use the "middle and lower-class horses" of the two of them to deal with the "high-class horses" like Ye Shang.

This will free up cutting-edge combat forces like Feipiao to do more things.

Nightmare's second opponent, Shi Zhonghuo, was born in the military.

After Shi Xin withdrew from the temple and established Shi Mansion, Shi Zhonghuo actively sought changes and got involved in Jianghu affairs.

With the destruction of Shi Mansion, Shi Zhonghuo, who completely devoted himself to the world, gradually grew into a swordsman who could be called a first-class master.

It's a pity that he is a little older after all, started much later, and his martial arts talent is not as outstanding as Guan Dadao. When facing top masters like Ye Shang, in addition to the limiting effect of Suoyun Zhenqi in his hand, It can be said that there are dangers everywhere under the Ye Shang knife.

Fortunately, the perseverance he had learned from the battlefield allowed him to not be afraid of strong enemies and use methods such as pestering, dragging, and harassing to deal with opponents for a long time. Even though he was slightly injured internally by the remaining power from Ye Shang's Pu Dao in a head-to-head encounter, he still managed to survive. After successfully blocking it for a long time, he got a big victory last time.

After seeing the "smelly and hard" fire in the stone, Ye Shang didn't dare to show any slights to Zifeng, who also came from Tingyuge.

He has discovered that the three words "Tingyu Pavilion" seem to be full of magic. As long as they are members, they have some kind of special halo blessing. They always have special attainments in some aspects, which always makes their opponents extremely difficult to deal with!
Feipiao is like this, fire in stone is like this, and Zifeng is no exception!
Zifeng Jin, who was holding a three-foot green blade, attacked with mercury-swept swordsmanship. When he failed to attack, he switched to airtight swordsmanship for defense. If his defense could not withstand the fierce offensive of Ye Shang Pu Dao, he used the meteor style to force the attack. He opened his body and used continuous and various sword energy to mediate at the far end.

"Like, it's so similar!"

This is not the first time Ye Shang has seen this kind of method, and even the same bone-chilling freezing air.

The last person who used this kind of method used the bold fighting method he taught, and used his big sword to have a fruitless duel with his big sword.

After that, Ye Shang never saw him again, and only heard about him from other people's mouths.

While thinking, Ye Shang swung his long sword and slammed away Zifeng, who was stabbing with his sword again.

Nightmare grinned, seeming to pull the cross scar at the corner of his left cheek and grinning horizontally like his mouth. He looked like a wolf with his head tilted and his mouth salivating, about to start hunting.

Ye Shang smiled at Zifeng and said, "But if you just act like him, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to return to the camp alive today. Let me see what you're capable of!"

Before Zifeng could respond, Tan Lang Dao had already killed him right in front of him.

Bang!
I saw the frost where Ye Shang dropped the knife exploded, and bits of ice shards fell on the ground. Zifeng actually used his sword to perform the opening formation, one of the eight formations, and completed it in another way. The golden cicada escaped from its shell!

However, as Ye Shang said, "If you look like you, you will die."

Even though Zifeng can be as versatile as Jiang Yichen, and even learned to use eight formations with a sword, his level of mastery is still too raw. It is surprisingly effective once or twice, but it is difficult to achieve a long-term solution, and he is not as superb as Jiang Yichen. With extraordinary Qinggong and body skills, Ye Shang's ensuing attack was able to dodge ten moves and block hundreds of moves, but he would definitely not be able to withstand a thousand moves.

Ye Shang is already confident that he can teach the opponent within a thousand moves!
In the next cup of tea, Zifeng was really exhausted.

In the face of Ye Shang's devastating offensive, it was very difficult for Zifeng to think that he could still hold on, so how could he count the hundreds of moves he had received from the opponent?
It's just that the sword in his hand became more and more translucent with ice crystals, as if it were a cold jade ice sculpture naturally formed in the deep cold pool.

And everywhere he passed there were white spots like ice crystals, as if there had just been a slight icy rain last night.

Nightmare's fighting style is rough, but he has always been a person who is rough and careful, so he naturally noticed these abnormalities.

Therefore, after making 999 moves, he did not continue to attack, but stopped advancing with every move.

Waiting for the suppressed volcano to erupt!

The eruption was of course not a volcano, but an iceberg to be precise.

During the battle at Ning Terrace, Zifeng watched helplessly as his second senior brother Ruan Gu died beside him, unable to do anything, so he regarded Jiang Yichen, who was able to turn the tide, as a guide in his heart.

Zifeng, who is lazy and fun-loving by nature, not only turned to swordsmanship in order to become stronger, but also endured all hardships. On the way from a fat assassin to a thin swordsman, Zifeng gave up half of his cultivation and took another more suitable one. The water attribute technique "Han Jade Jue" used in swordsmanship is also the reason why he can use the freezing energy like Jiang Yichen.

As a disciple of Long Yao and the younger brother of Qingjian Luo Piaoling, Zifeng switched from daggers to swordsmanship. Zifeng had no lack of foundation and guidance from masters of swordsmanship. The reason why he behaved like Jiang Yichen was just because he was involved in all the fields he participated in. I heard that Jiang Yichen, who was similar in age, performed well in several fights, but this does not mean that Zifeng does not have his own characteristics.

Not to mention swordsmanship, his skill "Hanyu Jue" is unique.

Three feet of ice is not frozen in a day, and ice becomes jade. It not only needs to be accumulated, but also needs to be polished.

Steel can be made a hundred times, jade can be made by polishing a thousand times!
Zifeng, who had been suppressed to the extreme, could use the "Han Jade Jue" to bottom out and completely release the icy air that was compressed and polished to the extreme in his body. This was the confidence he had to challenge Tong Ye Shang!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Where there were white frost spots on the ground before, ice edges that were as thick as a bucket and exceeded the height of an ordinary person sprang out!

From bottom to top, from the back or front, it penetrated the chest of a nearby Luo Yue man and a member of the Nether Sect, without any accidental injuries!

Seeing the ice edges springing up from under his feet, Ye Shang smashed them one after another with the Tanlang Knife, and dispersed them one by one with his external breath. However, these ice edges actually sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Come out!

In the distance of about fifty steps, about thirty people were stabbed through the body and hung on the ice edge. Under the morning sun, the blood-stained ice edge was as bright as a ruby.

Bits of frost were falling from the air, as if a small-scale icy rain was about to hit everything.

Nightmare, who never flinched, finally retreated, at least more than ten feet away from where he was.

The icy rain fell, and an ice flower bloomed in it!

Nightmare knew very well that if he didn't retreat, he would probably be frozen inside.

It doesn't take long for him to be frozen, even if he only snaps his fingers, it's enough for Zifeng to use the meteor style to seal his throat with a sword!
Although there are similarities and differences in the expression methods, this is generally speaking Jiang Yichen's usual trick.

Nightmare was very familiar with this, and he wisely chose to avoid the edge for the time being.

And after performing such a costly move once, it will definitely be difficult to do it again in a short period of time.

Nightmare pretended to be relaxed and asked, "What is this fancy move called?"

The killing move at the bottom of the box failed to capture the enemy. It would be false to say that he was not discouraged, but he was not confused by the opponent's ridicule. Zifeng raised his sword again and pointed at Ye Shang and said: "It looks good, this move is called 'Condensation'" Rain flowers are cold from the cold'!"

Ye Shang said honestly: "It looks good and sounds good, but it's not very effective. The interval between the two bursts is too long, so the opponent has enough time to avoid it."

Zifeng shook his head and said: "It's not like experts like you are everywhere, just enough is enough."

Ye Shang leaned forward to attack and said with a smile: "Have you rested enough? Let me see how many unique skills you still have, or maybe try 'Condensing Rain Flowers Zihan' again?"

Zifeng said: "You will know if you try it!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderous explosion from the horizon!
The momentum is no less powerful than Zifeng's killing move that freezes the sky and splits the earth!
　Patch Notes: You can see that the maps of Zhongzhou and various states in the book are only similar to those of ancient and modern times, but are not exactly the same, and it is impossible to compare them one by one.The Lingnan City Gate here is guarding Luoyue, so it must be bordering the land route. If we compare it with the current map, it is probably the superposition of the terrain of Guangdong and Guangxi to form Lingnan, and then Vietnam happens to be connected to the southwest.
