Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1635 Battle for the Stone of Fire (Mountain Forest)

Looking at the murderous Yingbu, Ji Bu sighed and said:
  "Ever since I heard that you were working for Tian Mi, I expected that such a day would come."

Yingbu took out his other hand and replied coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the box and I'll keep your whole body!"

"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as unkind as before." Ji Bu said helplessly after hearing this.

When Yingbu heard this, he became even more angry, "Unhumane? Humph! I should have killed you a long time ago!"

"Hmph..." Ji Bu sighed in despair, "After so many years, I thought you would eventually understand."

"Of course I understand!" Yingbu responded angrily, "It was you who made me and my brothers suffer shame. This shame will never be washed away in my lifetime."

After hearing this, Ji Bu tilted his head helplessly.

The reason why Yingbu fell out with him originated from the complete defeat of the Chu army many years ago.

At that time, Ji Bu led the Shadow Tiger Army and was ordered to guard an important place and obstruct the Qin army.

Due to the fierce offensive of the Qin army, the Shadow Tiger Army suffered heavy losses and the front line was almost unable to hold up. Fortunately, the Thunder Leopard Army led by Yingbu came to help, and the two armies merged to stabilize the line.

But the two of them were able to hold their own. The main army led by the Chu army general Wu'an Jun Xiang Yan was completely defeated by the Qin army led by Wang Jian. Shouchun fell, the Chu state was destroyed, and the Chu king directly killed himself after carrying the cud (historical facts bear that Chu was captured and what happened next is unknown. He died directly in the plot of Qin Shi.)
  Because of Gu Xun's intervention, Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, died directly at the hands of Fusu, and he was unable to succeed Fu Cu as the last king of Chu. Fu Cu died, declaring the complete demise of the Chu Kingdom.

After Yingbu learned that the King of Chu had died for his country, he was determined to lead his army to fight to the death with the Qin army, and also died for his country.

However, Ji Bu believed that the sacrifice should not be in vain and that the strength should be retained for the funeral.

The two argued fiercely, but the final result was that Yingbu was blocked by Jibu and failed to achieve his wish.

So he resented Ji Bu.

This reason... it is hard not to suspect that he was incompetently furious and implicated Ji Bu.

Of course, Ji Bu deserved to be disliked for being nosy.

However, Ji Bu himself obviously didn't think so. He felt that he prevented Yingbu from dying in vain, which was not a bad thing in any case - and this was indeed the case in the eyes of normal people.

All in all, all in all, the two of them had a complete falling out.

After the fall of the Chu Kingdom, one of them became a gangster, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, while the other became a wandering warrior, living in intoxication and dreaming, and there was almost no interaction between them.

Today is the reunion of the two of them. Unfortunately, there is no joy of seeing old friends again. Instead, they are facing each other with weapons at war.

Ji Bu, who recalled some past events in his mind, came back to his senses, looked Ying Bu up and down carefully and asked:

"Where's your armor? I remember you never leave it?"

Yingbu's armor was regarded by him as the last symbol of his status as a soldier, so he never left it... It was also why he was always wanted by the empire. Otherwise, the wanted order might have been withdrawn long ago. After all, there is no point in competing with a useless person.

The Chu State has perished. Who has nothing to do but chase a general who has lost his country and has no soldiers?

Yingbu snorted and replied, "I don't deserve to wear it anymore."

Looking at Yingbu who looked unhappy, although Ji Bu felt it was useless, he couldn't help but explain:
  "When I destroyed the bridge to stop you, it was to save you and your brothers, and also to leave more strength for the Chu State!"

"For us!?" When Yingbu heard this, he became even more angry. He raised his short ribs in his hand, pointed at Jibu and cursed, "Because of you, I know what the famous Thunder Leopard Legion has become now. ?"

"A joke, a disgraceful joke!"

Yingbu became more and more excited, his whole body trembling as he expressed his grievances and resentments:
  "In the past few years, I have tried to find my former brothers."

"However, the warrior who once championed the three armies is now drunk to death on the streets every day. The once extremely proud warrior has lost all the dignity in his life!"

"They once knew why they were fighting and dying, but now they don't know why they are still alive."

"They should have been loyal to the king and died fighting for the country. Their names should have been praised everywhere!"

"But now, they are just a puddle of mud that can be trampled on, and they are a shame to Chu State!"

"And you are the one who brings shame to them!"

Yingbu's accusation can be said to make those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.

At first glance, it seems to make sense. After all, this is the pre-Qin Dynasty, and justice to the death is what many people pursue.

Moreover, the Shadow Tiger, Thunder and Leopard Legion had already been seriously damaged back then, and their number was down to ten. Those of them who were still alive wanted to die for you on the battlefield, and it was normal for them to die together with their comrades.

But it was unreasonable for him to put all the blame on Ji Bu.

Even if someone stops you once, you can still die later. You can't have to die in the hands of the Qin soldiers who conquered Shouchun to be satisfied, right?

Moreover, it is your own fault that you will live a drunken and decadent life later on. Who made you not live a good life!
  So Ji Bu was really hurt when he heard this.

He hesitated for a moment, turned sideways, and took a step back verbally:
  "You're right, I should probably give you an apology."

Ji Bu didn't think he was wrong, but he hoped to make peace with Ying Bu and get through today's incident peacefully.

Yingbu didn't have this idea. He appeared here just to take action!

"I don't need your apology!"

"Now I am just a mercenary, collecting people's money and helping them eliminate disasters."

Ji Bu sighed, "This makes me even more sorry."

"You don't need to blame yourself for too long..." Yingbu's tone was filled with awe-inspiring murderous intent. He pointed at Ji Bu and shouted in a deep voice, "I will complete something that should have been done long ago - kill you!"

"You can kill me, but you must remember one thing..." Facing Yingbu's aggressiveness, Ji Bu finally couldn't help but defend himself, "You're not dead yet!"

"No matter how humiliating your life is, you...are always alive!"

"Shut up! You coward!" These words made Yingbu completely unable to hold his nerve, and he waved his hands to kill Ji Bu.

At this time, Ji Bu waved his hand and threw out a leaf. He turned over half a circle, his toes resting on the fluttering leaves. A zhenqi magic circle composed of yin and yang, fish, sun, moon, stars and other patterns appeared under his feet, pushing him to provide extremely high acceleration.

Then Ji Bu stepped forward several times in mid-air to accelerate as if he was teleporting. He was the last to arrive first, and was the first to reach Ying Bu. The long sword in his hand, the Shadow Tiger Blade, rushed straight towards the opponent's door.

Yingbu's expression changed, and he hurriedly switched from offense to defense. He raised his arms and raised his arms in front of his chest, and at the same time lowered his head backwards, staggering Ji Bu's attack just right.

Then he raised his arms with force, pushed Ji Bu away, took advantage of his unsteady footing, turned around to bully him, swung his arms and turned into a windmill and started spinning. Ji Bu immediately raised his sword to block, and after a series of clanking sounds, he successfully retreated, widening the distance between the two sides.

Yingbu refused to give up, stepped on the ground, jumped up, and drew a parabola to hit Jibu.

However, the speed of his attack could not keep up with Ji Bu's reaction speed. The latter dodged to the side and dodged again. Ying Bu only had time to smash the big rock where Ji Bu landed.

When one move failed, Yingbu immediately pounced to make up the attack again. Although his attack speed was not as fast as Ji Bu's, his attacks were continuous and calm.

This is called - Qi Xu Rulin!
  And Ji Bu is not a vegetarian. His nickname of "Shadow Tiger among Flowers" comes from his outstanding Qinggong, but don't forget that he is also nicknamed "Unmoving as a Mountain".

These four words are not only because he keeps his word, but also because he is very good at defense. Whether it is personal force or troop formation, he can be as insurmountable as a thick mountain.

Facing Yingbu's continuous offensive, Jibu was as steady as a mountain and his defense was airtight.

Shadow Tiger Sword and Ying Bu's killing twins are constantly colliding and rubbing against each other. You come and I go, not giving in to each other.

However, Yingbu's strength is still stronger in the end, and he has more advantages when attacking. Jibu basically defends throughout the whole process. Fortunately, he is able to do it with ease, and even has time to taunt his opponent.

"You take action slower than before."

Upon hearing this, Yingbu roared, struck hard with his right hand, and relied on brute strength to force the shadow tiger away from Ji Bu's hand, leaving the space in front of him wide open, successfully creating an opportunity for himself.

Then he made a backhand slash with his left hand and headed towards Ji Bu's waist.

Ji Bu hurriedly bent back to dodge, his body barely avoiding the sharp edge, but the straps of the box on his back were cut off just right.

However, Yingbu's move was actually aimed at the box of the Stone of Fire, and Ji Bu's dodge gave him more time.

By the time Ji Bu realized this, it was already too late. Yingbu immediately raised his leg and hit Ji Bu's abdomen with his knee, lifting it into the air. Then he turned around, raised his leg and kicked Ji Bu firmly with the sole of his foot. of the mandible.

This kick was so loud that Ji Bu was kicked out on the spot. The box containing the Stone of Fire fell to the ground. He even couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

The kick was so heavy that Ji Bu felt as if his mandible was cracking, and he soon lost all consciousness.

The two of them landed on the ground separately. Yingbu reached out with his crotch to catch the box that was about to hit the ground. Jibu rubbed his chin on the other side and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth - there was no injury, not even the little blood. The pain was so severe that it hurt, and it still hurt intermittently.

This time it was Yingbu's turn to laugh at Ji Bu. He shook the Qi in his hand, turned the box over, and joked:
  "Is this what you call retaining strength?"

"I only tell my real enemies about my strength." Ji Bu replied without giving in.

"Humph!"

Yingbu snorted coldly, shook the box, and dropped it to the ground to protect him. Then he killed his two relatives and struck forward with a cross, and two cold air blades rushed towards Ji Bu in an X shape.

At this time, Ji Bu put his golden peony to his mouth and bit it. Then he immediately retreated to avoid Yingbu's air blade attack. Then he used the branches of the big tree nearby to swing around and bullied Yingbu with both hands. Holding the sword with all his strength, Kaotou struck with his sword.

Ying Bu raised his hands to block. Ji Bu took advantage of the struggle between the two sides and took off one hand to pick up the golden peony again and raised it high. He did not forget to remind him:
  "Look carefully!"

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light suddenly bloomed, and Yingbu's eyes were pointed in the direction of the golden peony, and he was immediately blinded.

Ji Bu disappeared directly at this time. When Yingbu got used to it, he saw golden peonies floating on the box on the ground, and then there was another flash of golden light, and the six-ring zhenqi magic circle that Ji Bu had used reappeared, golden The peony and the box disappeared from Yingbu in the blink of an eye.

As an old friend of Ji Bu, Yingbu immediately recognized the trick used by Ji Bu - the hidden tiger among the flowers!
  At the same time, countermeasures were also taken - if the enemy is unknown, defend your position like a forest!
  The next moment, Ji Bu reappeared, holding the broken strap on the box in one hand, and struck Ying Bu from the side with a sword.

Yingbu, who had always been on guard, reacted in time and raised his hands to block the blade.

Ji Bu, who was holding a golden peony in his mouth, smiled and said, "Sorry, my target is not you!"

"Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw up the box, and the whole person suddenly disappeared from in front of Yingbu. Then his figure continued to teleport, constantly confusing Yingbu's sight, and finally succeeded in taking advantage of Yingbu's unpreparedness and kicked him from behind. Fly out.

After Yingbu flipped around in mid-air for more than ten times, he finally managed to stabilize his body and landed on the ground. The remaining energy allowed him to slide out several steps further.

On the other hand, Ji Bu took advantage of this opportunity to fasten the straps again and put the box back on his body.

He turned his back to Yingbu, thought for a moment and said:
  "Feeling better now?"

Yingbu didn't answer him, just stood up.

Ji Bu continued, minding his own business, "Don't you think the way we are looking now is ridiculous?"

"Not only ridiculous, but also pitiful..."

The people who used to be so close and trusted each other with life and death are now fighting for life and death over a stone that has nothing to do with the two of them. It is indeed sad and ridiculous to say that.

Yingbu replied coldly, "A soldier who has lost his homeland is just a lost dog. He can only be laughed at by others. I have long been used to it."

"I just want that box now!"

Before Ji Bu could answer, a tiger roar came from the forest, and then a burly figure rushed out like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, and stopped in front of Ji Bu - it was Chi Youtang's master, the Tiger Demon.

"It seems that you are not alone." Ji Bu looked at his new opponent and said with a smile.

At this time, a charming female voice sounded. Tian Mi walked out of the forest in the other direction with enchanting steps as she spoke, still holding a cigarette rod in her hand:

"Fellow meets fellow countryman, you two grown men are quite nostalgic and loyal."

"As a woman, I was moved to tears when I saw this."

"It turns out there is more than one helper." Ji Bu had no reaction to Tian Mi's coquettishness and made a plain joke.

Tian Mi's words still have a certain swagger to them, and coupled with her eye-catching body movements, she always seems to be the focus of men's eyes:
  "The tiger hidden among the flowers, as motionless as a mountain, can finally see Mr. Ji Bu's true face today. It's really love at first sight!"

After the seductive words, there is another one that seems to have profound meaning, "I wonder if I can remain still and unmoving when facing the woman I love?"

When Ji Bu heard this, he knew that Tian Mi probably had some information about him, but he didn't care - he had a beloved woman, but she was under the protection of Shennongtang, and she couldn't be threatened by Tian Mi's casual words. .

"Hall Master Kuui doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing."

"We are all considered family members, why should we meet outsiders?" Tian Mi pretended to be pitiful, "Look, now you are alone and there are three of us."

"When I think of you bleeding and injured, my heart aches!"

Ji Bu shrugged his brows, his eyes vaguely swept over Ying Bu and others who were surrounding him in a triangle, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
