Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1626 The Battle for the Stone of Fire (First Battle)

Gao Jianli actually felt the same way about Sledgehammer's complaints.

But the reality is like this. Tian Guang's disappearance and the disputes in Liutang have destined that the current farm family has drifted away from the Mo family.

Originally, he and Master Ban thought that even if the Six Halls were at odds, they would be able to make do by asking them to cooperate in completing the Qinglong Project, but in the end, the matter of the Yinghuo Stone happened.

I don’t know whether to say that they are having a bad time, or that the farm family is destined to be robbed.

"The great master once said that there are two hall masters in the farm family who have inherited the destiny of the knight leader." Gao Jianli came back to his senses and said as his thoughts flowed.

"Which two?"

"I only know that Tian Meng is most likely one of them." Gao Jianli replied with a sigh, "But he is dead now. Judging from Tian Hu and Tian Zhong's previous attitudes, it is estimated that the other one is not among them."

"Is that the Zhu family?" Big Iron Hammer guessed.

Not Tian Hu and Tian Zhong, the chances of Tian Mi and Situ Wanli are also very low. The only remaining leader of the farm hall is the Zhu family, a leader with a non-Tian surname.

And from a theoretical point of view, Tian Guang's arrangement is very reasonable, since each one has the same surname as Tian.

"Maybe..." Gao Jianli frowned and did not immediately list the Zhu family as the most likely choice.

You know, the leader of the No. 6 Nongjia Hall has experienced a sudden change.

Sledgehammer wanted to say something else, but Gao Jianli's eyes suddenly focused on the road below, and he reminded:

"coming!"

Big Iron Hammer followed and looked around, only to see a burly tiger demon driving a carriage carrying fragments of the Stone of Illumination from one end of the road.

Under the heavy rain, the sound of the wheels was reduced a lot, but it was still obvious in the "empty" valley.

After seeing the person clearly, Big Iron Hammer folded his arms and said, "This is... Chi Youtang's tiger demon. I didn't expect Tian Hu to move very fast. He had already arranged for someone to take action."

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are fierce tigers in the fields." Gao Jianli continued in a deep voice, "Now that Tian Meng is dead, Tian Hu will become the person of the Tian clan who has the best chance and the most eager to seize the position of the hero."

"It seems that the fight between Nongjia Hall and the Sixth Hall is a foregone conclusion and cannot be stopped."

At this time, Gao Jianli seemed to find something wrong again, and frowned, "Well...it seems that the Zhu family is not slow in their actions."

In front of the tiger demon's route, amid the fine rain curtain, the light and shadow somewhere seemed to be slightly distorted, as if someone was standing there.

Immediately afterwards, the distortion of light and shadow disappeared, and a purple figure suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, as if it moved instantly, making it difficult for people to react.

The tiger demon did not react immediately, but the figure took the opportunity to punch the horse, hitting the horse's belly.

Then a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared on the horse, flickering and jumping around. The galloping horse died suddenly and fell to the ground with a faint smell of burnt.

The carriage that was originally running at a rapid speed lost its balance and overturned in an instant, turning forward 180 degrees and slamming towards the ground.

At this time, the tiger demon finally made a move. First, he roared, and then with both hands, he tore the carriage into pieces. The box containing the fragments of the Stone of Fire fell to the puddle on the ground.

Then his pair of vertical pupils that resembled tiger eyes began to scan the surrounding environment - the man just disappeared immediately after the blow.

On the mountain wall, Big Iron Hammer's eyes widened and he couldn't help but sigh, "What a fast movement!"

"That person just now was..."

At the top of the cliff, at another high point, Zhang Han and the Shadow Guards were watching what was happening below the mountain wall.

I have to say that the rain fell very coincidentally today, which helped many people cover their whereabouts.

If it hadn't been for the rain, his current position would not have been observed by other interested people.

"Shennongtang has also taken action... 'Shadow has no form, shadow follows the heart', which is indeed true to its name."

"Qu Shang, his native place is unknown, he is suspected to be from the Chu State, his origin is unknown, and he is suspected to be related to the Baiyue Land. His body skills are unpredictable, but his attacks are domineering and powerful. He moves like thunder. He once killed almost simultaneously in one breath. Twenty-one masters of the martial arts world have the reputation of being 'formless and formless, and shadows follow one's will'."

After Zhang Han spoke, the members of the Shadow Guard behind him immediately reported the relevant information about Qu Shang.

From his report, it is easy to tell that the Shadow Guard didn't know much about Qu Shang.

In fact, except for the information that everyone knows about Qu Shang's strength later, the Shadow Guards can be said to know nothing about Qu Shang. The speculations about his origin are all information provided by Liusha.

But even Quicksand only found some relationship between Qu Shang and Bai Yue, but not much more.

Gu Xun didn't care either. Although Baiyue was a vast place with sparsely populated areas and a harsh environment, there were really a lot of weird people and strange people. There would always be some who would choose to leave Baiyue and go to the more prosperous and lively Central Plains area. .

At this time, the roar of the tiger demon came again from below.

Qu Shang took action again.

The whole person tore through the rain curtain and turned into afterimages that filled the sky and attacked the tiger demon at the same time. The palms wrapped in silk gloves glowed with a faint light of thunder - his true energy characteristics were somewhat similar to Chen He's Ben Lei swordsmanship.

Although Qu Shang's offensive was fast and powerful, the tiger demon's ability was not bad. A pair of tiger claws that were stronger than gold and stone glowed with blood-red light, raising a cold light all over the sky, and what he waved was an airtight, fine raindrop. Completely blocked within one foot of him.

However, Qu Shang's attack was even more pervasive than the torrential rain. Even though the tiger demon had tried its best to block it, it still allowed him to get through a few gaps.

However, such an intensive offensive would inevitably weaken its own lethality. Moreover, the tiger demon protected its vital points very well and did not give Qu Shang a chance.

Although he successfully slapped the tiger demon several times, he failed to cause serious injuries to the opponent. He only made the opponent howl and howl, which aroused the tiger demon's ferocity even more.

The anxious entanglement between the two at this time also allowed onlookers to finally see clearly the appearance of Qu Shang, the general of Shennongtang - he was wearing a purple suit with moiré patterns, his dark red hair was tied up by a crown of the same color, and his face He wore a purple-black half-mask covering the area below his nose. The upper half of his exposed face looked young and heroic, with eyebrows and starry eyes. He must have been a handsome man.

On the mountain wall, Big Iron Hammer had already learned the identity of the new master from Gao Jianli. At this time, he folded his arms and stared at the anxious battle situation below:

"Both sides sent their top experts as soon as they came up, leaving absolutely no room for error. It seems like they are really going to break up completely."

"As long as we take action, sooner or later either party will kill them and they will never stop." Gao Jianli said with a sigh.

In the past, the battles between the six farmhouse halls were more about power struggles and political games. No two halls would fight openly and openly.

This is also the reason why the six halls can barely get along with each other until now.

But now that this hole has been opened, the situation among the six halls will immediately take a turn for the worse, quickly deteriorating to the point where it will never end.

Just like the tiger demon Qu Shang and his two men who were becoming more and more merciless and fierce in their attacks.

"We can't help here..." Big Iron Hammer looked at the increasingly fierce battle below, and scratched his head covered with water droplets in frustration.

Although he is not very smart, he also knows that in this internal struggle between farmers, the two of them must not directly intervene in any battle, otherwise they are likely to become the target of public criticism and be targeted by both sides at the same time.

They do have good intentions, but when the fighting begins, neither side will trust them. "This may be the original intention of the designer behind this dead end..." Gao Jianli sighed, "When the cage of rationality is broken and the trapped beast smells the smell of blood, it will no longer distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, but will only tear it apart. Everything within sight that can be destroyed.”

The two of them were talking, and the battle situation below was gradually changing.

The tiger demon has a tiger-like temperament and is cruel and violent. He has never been a person who likes to defend blindly, so after withstanding Qu Shang's first two rounds of offensive, he immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

However, this did not make his situation better, but gave Qu Shang more opportunities.

The tiger demon's offensive is famous for its speed and fierceness, just like a hunting beast, steady, accurate and ruthless.

Unfortunately, Qu Shang also has this style.

When two people with similar styles fight against each other, it is obvious that the one with weaker overall strength will be at an absolute disadvantage and suffer greater losses than those with different styles.

The more the tiger demon tried to switch from defense to offense, the more flaws he exposed to Qu Shang, but almost none of his own attacks could touch Qu Shang.

There is one word that people in the world like to use to describe Qu Shang's movement - unpredictable.

This word is definitely used appropriately. His movement speed is even faster than that of Robber Zhi and Bai Feng, but it can only be used in battle. It is closer to a footwork and cannot be considered a light skill at all.

Not long after, many places on the tiger demon's body had been injured by Qu Shang's thunder energy, and his skin was stained with a layer of burnt black. Fortunately, he also practiced hard skills and was relatively resistant, so the roots were not damaged.

But if he continues to fight Qu Shang, it will only be a matter of time before he is seriously injured.

The tiger demon is extremely talented in physical fitness, but his brain is particularly difficult to use. Under normal circumstances, he would ignore it after being hit on the head, but this time, when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately found an opportunity to escape and run away.

He ran away very fast, and Qu Shang had no intention of chasing him. He just watched him fly away quickly, and then turned his attention to the box in the puddle beside him.

At this time, a hand quietly approached Qu Shang from behind and patted him gently.

Qu Shang had known for a long time that there was someone behind him, so he was not surprised. He turned around calmly. Behind him were Liu Ji, another key member of Shennong Hall, and Situ Wanli, the leader of Siyue Hall.

Situ Wanli looked at the calm posture after a fierce battle with the tiger demon without even a thread of clothes being shaved off, and couldn't help but sigh:
  "Brother Qu is indeed Hall Master Zhu's most trusted general, and he is well-deserved for his unpredictable powers. Brother, I am so envious of him!"

Situ Wanli boasted that if he fought against the tiger demon, he might not lose, but it was absolutely impossible to force the opponent back so easily.

Liu Ji on the side put his arm around Qu Shang's shoulders and said with a smile, "No one can stop that lunatic tiger demon when he goes crazy. It's a pity that no matter how ferocious or fast a tiger is, it's just a wild beast. Brother Qu is Can suppress him in all directions."

His eyes widened to the woods on the other side of the mountain stream, where Tian Hu and his group were hiding and watching Qu Shang and the others.

Seeing that the tiger demon failed to have any impact on Qu Shang, Tian Hu couldn't help but said bitterly:

"Qu Shang...has always been a big trouble!"

On the Zhu family side, what Tian Hu was most afraid of, or when his eldest brother Tian Meng was still alive, what the two brothers were most afraid of was Qu Shang, not the Zhu family.

Of course, the Zhu family is the biggest trouble, but it is a different type of threat than Qu Shang.

Tian Zhong stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Second Master, the manpower has been arranged, is it..."

Tian Hu raised his hand to stop him, "Don't worry, just follow Ayan's arrangement and then take a look."

On the other side of the road, Qu Shang and the other three walked to the wooden box together.

The outermost large wooden box was basically shattered after a collision and falling, revealing the more delicate wooden box inside - the same wooden box that was first placed in Bai Tu's camp.

Liu Ji chuckled, took the initiative to squat down, stretched out his hand to open up the fragments of the wooden box outside, and touched the wooden box:

"Hehe, let me first take a look at the mystery of this Stone of Fire, the gun that made us work so hard to survive."

With that said, he opened the lid of the wooden box.

As soon as the lid was opened, Qu Shang's face suddenly turned aside.

Immediately afterwards, a loud roar suddenly rose, and a big explosion occurred with the wooden box as the center. Huge air waves rolled up with scorching fireworks and blew in all directions. The trees that were closer to the explosion point were directly broken, and with them The warm air even spread to where Tian Hu and the others were hiding.

Tian Hu covered his face and waited for the air waves to dissipate, then showed an unstoppable smile on his face:

"Huh huh huh... A Yan guessed it again. This is a bait - the kind that contains poison."

Tian Hu was very happy that he successfully avoided stepping on the thunder. Of course, he would be even happier if Qu Shang and the other three were directly killed by the explosion.

On the cliff, Zhang Han couldn't help but smile as he watched the trap he set being triggered.

Although the main purpose of his coming to Dongjun was not to deal with the farmers, since they dared to stroke the empire's tiger beard, they should be given some lessons.

He is not obsessed with blowing up Qu Shang and others. Whether they survive or not depends entirely on the opponent's ability. The outcome will be fine no matter what, it is just a lesson.

After a while, the thick smoke at the center of the explosion cleared, and the result was obvious - Tian Hu was disappointed.

There was no one at the center of the explosion, only a large, charred crater. No matter what, the three of them would not be blown away into ashes and drifted away in the wind. They must have successfully escaped from the center of the explosion first.

Sure enough, Qu Shang and the others quickly walked out from behind the surrounding trees that had not been blown down.

Looking at the big hole where they were standing just now, Liu Ji couldn't help but feel a little weak in his legs. He covered his heart and slumped down against the tree.

Situ Wanli's performance was about the same as him. Although he didn't sit on the ground, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The only one who was relatively calm was Qu Shang, who also pulled the other two people away from the explosion range at the critical moment.

"Are you both okay?"

Liu Ji drooped his head and responded in a low tone, "I'm not good. To be precise... I'm very bad!"

"I was scared!"

Situ Wanli nodded in agreement, "The explosion was indeed too sudden and shocking... Is the empire's gunpowder so powerful now?"

Liu Ji recovered now, stood up again while holding on to the tree, and joked:

"I was frightened by Brother Qu's strength."

"You can avoid this, and you still have two people with you!"

"Too strong...remind me again, what's his nickname?"

Situ Wanli complimented him very cooperatively, "'Shadow is invisible, shadow follows the heart', it really lives up to its reputation, you can do whatever you want, it's everywhere!"

The two of them didn't realize what happened until they were pulled into a tree by Qu Shang. If it weren't for Qu Shang, most of their lives would have to be sacrificed if they weren't killed on the spot.
