Chapter 66 One man, one sword, acting on behalf of Heaven!
Zhong Yuan suddenly attacked!
His figure leaped up, arriving in an instant!
The moment the longsword was raised, it was already stabbing towards the middle-aged man.
Originally, the main street of this ancient town of Hekou was not very wide.
and.
Zhong Yuan set up tables and chairs outside the inn.
He moved with lightning speed, reaching the limit of what he could currently control!
A flash of sword light streaked past!
In the middle-aged man's eyes, he only saw a dazzling sword light stabbing towards him!
He clearly saw all of this!
But nothing can be changed!
because!
Zhong Yuan is too fast!
It's gotten to a point he can hardly imagine!
Zhong Yuan spent three months in arduous training in Snake Valley!
Internal strength surged!
His movement speed is now incomparable to what it was three months ago!
The Heart Sutra contains the words "formless and without appearance".
What is formless and without appearance?
The Tang Dynasty poet Li Daozi wrote these eight lines in his "Song of Transmitting Secrets"!
Formless and shapeless, its entire body is transparent!
Responding to nature's natural rhythms, a hanging chime echoes from the Western Hills!
Tigers roar and monkeys howl, springs are clear and rivers are still!
To stir up rivers and seas, to live life to the fullest and make the most of one's destiny!
This passage means that the innate Qi is formless and without appearance.
The movement is so subtle, yet the release is so swift!
It has the power to overturn rivers and seas!
It possesses the power of a tiger's roar that can be heard from afar!
The Heart Sutra also says that it is formless and without appearance, mysterious and unfathomable!
In other words, the internal energy, though formless and invisible, is integrated into nature by those who practice martial arts.
If we don't move, then we won't!
With a single movement, it stirs up rivers and seas!
Zhong Yuan practiced swordsmanship under the waterfall for three months!
It can be said that these three months have completely eliminated all the minor problems in his swordsmanship.
It is true that he has a natural sword lineage and an unparalleled affinity for the way of the sword.
This led to his rapid progress in swordsmanship.
The foundation was not as solid as he had imagined.
I practiced swordsmanship for three months beneath the waterfall.
He practiced basic sword moves the most!
Previously, if he wanted to kill an enemy in one move, he would have to use [Moon Slash]!
but.
at the moment.
He simply used the most basic move from the Tang Poetry Swordplay: "Sunset Over the Long River"!
In the hands of an ordinary martial artist, this move is nothing more than an ordinary sword technique with little variation!
but.
In Zhong Yuan's hands, it had become a world-shaking sword strike, forged with sword intent and sword momentum!
brush!
The sword light rose in the middle-aged man's eyes the instant.
The sword had already sliced through the middle-aged man's neck!
In the blink of an eye!
The middle-aged man had an extremely thin and long wound on his neck!
Then.
An expression of disbelief appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
He covered his neck with both hands!
However, the blood was already gushing out uncontrollably!
Pfft!
The middle-aged man's body lurched forward!
In an instant!
The expressions of the many Han River Gang members standing behind them changed drastically!
Upon seeing this, someone shouted!
"The leader is dead!"
"Avenge our leader!!!"
On the long street, the bluestone slabs were blackened by last night's rain!
In the ancient town of Hekou, the vendors along the long street had already fled into their shops in fear.
The half-open tea banner trembled in the wind like a withered leaf about to fall from a tree.
A group of henchmen from the Han River Gang blocked the middle of the street, each with their shirts open and short iron knives tucked into their waistbands!
Seeing Zhong Yuan swiftly and unexpectedly kill their leader with a single sword strike to the throat, this group of people witnessed him strike the leader's throat!
Their eyes were already filled with fear!
Master!
This is a true master!
Anyone can see that!
Those who came to cause trouble for the Hanshui Gang today are no ordinary江湖人 (jianghu people, people of the martial arts world)!
This group of people usually occupy the docks to make a living, and bullying men and women is their specialty!
It's really about fighting against a true martial arts master!
It wasn't like that unstoppable momentum at all!
They bully the kind-hearted on ordinary days, relying on their numbers to embolden themselves and save face.
now.
The appearance of someone like Zhong Yuan, who clearly doesn't want to be messed with.
In a short time.
Surprisingly, no one dared to step forward and charge!
Zhong Yuan held his sword in his hand, twisted his neck, and made a creaking sound.
immediately.
He swept his gaze toward the group of Hanshui Gang members!
Zhong Yuan's cold, emotionless gaze caused the Han River Gang henchmen to unconsciously take two steps back!
Zhong Yuan sneered, and the drop of blood on the tip of the White Rainbow Sword in his hand fell to the ground!
"A bunch of worthless scoundrels!"
"Where did that ruthless streak that used to bully the kind go?!"
"He doesn't even have the guts to kill!"
"How did you guys manage to survive in this world?!"
With Zhong Yuan's shout.
A thin, green-skinned man with a mustache and a tattered folding fan standing behind the crowd shouted loudly!
"Brothers, let's charge forward shoulder to shoulder!"
"Whoever beheads this man!"
"A reward of one hundred strings of cash!"
Wow!
With a shout from the green-skinned man.
Immediately, some members of the Han River Gang rushed out to fight!
Zhong Yuan didn't speak, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword.
The blade of the White Rainbow Sword reflected the clouds in the sky, gleaming with a cold light.
He moved with incredible speed, his feet barely touching the ground!
The white rainbow sword had already been thrust out, without any fancy moves!
It's just three words!
Fast! Ruthless! Accurate!
Go straight for the throat of the first henchman charging towards you.
The henchman yelled and raised his knife to block, but with a crisp "clang," the knife broke in two!
The sword tip had already pierced through his neck, and blood sprayed onto the bluestone slab, a glaringly red color.
Zhong Yuan flicked his wrist, drew his sword, and slashed down at his knees, diagonally cutting at the short knife coming from the side, with another sharp crack.
The henchman's knee and shinbone were split in two, and he rolled on the ground screaming in agony before falling silent.
One sword kills one man!
Every move is deadly!
Zhong Yuan kills people with basic sword moves, and uses the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) on his feet, so no one can dodge it.
kill! ! !
They watched as Zhong Yuan charged towards them.
Those members of the Han River Gang finally stopped retreating!
They rushed towards Zhong Yuan as if they had gone mad!
Zhong Yuan's movements became increasingly faster!
The longsword was swung out, each move aimed straight for the vital points, without any unnecessary strikes!
With each strike, a henchman of the Han River Gang would fall.
In just twenty breaths!
There were already more than thirty corpses on the ground!
Upon seeing Zhong Yuan, who looked exactly like the King of Hell descended to earth, the green-skinned man had already turned tail and ran away.
The henchmen who charged forward shouting for battle grew increasingly fearful as the fight progressed. Halfway through their charge, their legs gave way, and their hands gripping their knives trembled uncontrollably.
They were just the lowest rungs of the underworld.
I have never seen such a murder scene before!
It wasn't a reckless, indiscriminate hacking; rather, it was like slicing melons and chopping vegetables, with every strike landing precisely where death was certain!
That chill that seeped into your bones was even more penetrating than the river wind in the dead of winter.
They could see the corpses lying all over the ground.
Some of the remaining members of the Han River gang could no longer bear it, and fear took over their minds and bodies.
He dropped his long sword and ran frantically backward.
On the long street.
The bluestone slabs were soaked red with blood, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Zhong Yuan leaped out, his true energy rising from his feet.
【Flying Dragon in the Sky】soared into the sky, directly spanning several meters.
It landed in front of the running, green-skinned man!
The man with the green skin saw Zhong Yuan appear in front of him.
His face froze instantly!
Retreat is not an option, and advancing is not an option either!
The folding fan in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud"!
My eyes were filled with fear!
He asked Zhong Yuan in a trembling voice, "Who...who exactly are you?"
"Our Han River Gang leader is sworn brothers with the leader of the Jingxiang Outlaw Alliance!"
"If you dare touch me, my gang leader won't let you get away with it!"
Zhong Yuan carried his sword and walked over step by step.
Upon seeing this, the man with the green skin turned red in the eyes, gritted his teeth, and drew his waist knife!
He lunged forward and slashed directly at Zhong Yuan!
The wind howled through the air!
But it's completely chaotic!
It was a completely blunder made in a moment of panic!
Zhong Yuan stopped and stood still. When the man's knife was less than half a foot away from his chest, he suddenly drew his sword!
The sword strike was so fast that the green-skinned man couldn't even keep up with it; he only saw a flash of cold light before his eyes!
Then, a chill ran down my spine!
The sword tip had already pierced through his back.
He looked down at the exposed blade on his chest, his eyes wide as saucers.
"You...you..."
Zhong Yuan twisted his wrist and drew his sword.
The green-skinned man fell straight to the ground, blood silently flowing out.
