Bowen remained silent and returned to the group of chasing wind thieves. He had to admit that the sword cultivator played this skill very beautifully. He was defeated not only by his skills, but also by his heart. More importantly, he also painted a bright future for the subsequent battles.
The shadow.
"It's my fault. Without Xiangqin, I don't even have the courage to fight to the death..."
Guo Yanzhi, who has always been independent and venomous, unexpectedly patted him on the shoulder.
"Junior brother, letting the Yao chicken out has proven your determination. It's just that the opponent is too strong. Although he is a swordsman, he has a wide range of skills. If it were me, I would be the same as you. Junior brother, you are
If you retreat, you will save more than just you!"
This is the truth. If he dies in this battle, the rest of them will have no way out. It will be a fight to the death. The dignity of the sect is here, they must either die or win.
But when Bowen came back, the sword cultivator used his extraordinary mind-attacking skills to immediately break their offensive and defensive alliance. This was a conspiracy. You knew it, but you still had to accept it, and you were even grateful.
Gao Tianqi still wanted to say something, but looking at the attitudes of Yanzhi and Shi Guangzu around him, he knew that what he said would be in vain, so he simply kept silent. Anyway, everyone would be embarrassed together.
Everyone has the desire to live. Death is the only solution to hardships throughout the ages. How many people have discovered it through the ages?
Guo Yanzhi said very seriously, "Senior brothers, since the matter has come to this, I will say a few more words. If you think it makes sense, please carefully measure it. If you think I am talking nonsense, just treat it as fart.
Hou Zi has been undefeated in eight battles since the two sides fought against each other. Judging from the battle process, we can no longer regard him as a simple swordsman. This person has rich combat experience and has endless methods. Even among us,
You are no less inferior in front of the Taoist disciples, everyone, you should put away your pride."
Everyone did not refute and clearly agreed with his judgment. As far as Bowen's battle was concerned, they were unable to make all the seven-headed birds rebel. This was simply incredible.
Guo Yanzhi lowered his voice, "Let's not talk about this for now. In my opinion, the mana consumption that we have been relying on to win is not very reliable. Anyway, I looked left and right, and I didn't see that this person has any mana.
If there is any unsatisfactory performance, if he is really short of mana, it is impossible not to show it during the battle.
Either he has a special skill, his Dantian is special, or he has a unique replenishing holy object... Guys, if we place our hopes on him not being able to hold on, we're afraid we'll lose a lot of money this time."
Gao Tianqi frowned, "What do you mean?"
Guo Yan said word by word, "We have to prepare for possible failure. The purpose of practice is longevity, not face.
My suggestion is that in the next few battles, give him enough time to recover and have a fair fight. In this case, even if we lose in the end, Zhuifeng Thief's integrity is still there, but it is just a temporary retreat, and it is not the end of Lihai.
.”
Shi Guangzu clapped his hands and said, "That's exactly what it should be."
Gao Tianqi looked around, knowing that it was pointless to object alone. He sighed and nodded in agreement. The swordsman brought the situation back to his own advantage just by letting Bowen survive.
If this was a strategy adopted by the sword cultivator because of his lack of mana, then he undoubtedly succeeded, because those chasing the wind thief did not dare to gamble.
If this was the sword cultivator's self-restraint of strength to show his goodwill towards peaceful coexistence, they would have to admit it even if they were unwilling to do so.
There was a brief calm on the battlefield, and there was a rare break in the fighting, which greatly increased the confidence of the Cang pirates.
There are also those who don’t understand. Dugulan doesn’t understand, “Why don’t they challenge? Such a good opportunity fell short? Or are there other considerations?”
He opened his mouth wide and explained, "Because they are guilty! That's how the Taoist sect is, no matter what they do, they will leave a way out for themselves.
Therefore, they had to use mana to solve the problem that could have been solved from the beginning. Now it seems that the mana consumption will have no effect, so they use temperament and demeanor. Even if they lose in the end, they still have something to show off. .
And I bet that they won’t fill up twelve people, they will definitely leave a vacancy, and then pretend to be generous and give in..."
Dugulan was even more confused, "Why do you want to leave a spot unqualified? Maybe the last one will succeed?"
He opened his mouth and sneered, "Success? He still has to face eleven pirates. What success? It's great to keep one person alone. Not only can we save face for each other, but we can also use this opportunity to find an opportunity to regain face in the future, killing two birds with one stone." , kill two birds with one stone.”
As soon as he clapped his hands, the big flag in his hand swayed from side to side, and the big characters on it began to change, "The flying sword pierced the buttocks, it opened my eyes!"
...The next ones to challenge are Shi Guangzu, Gao Tianqi, a Guomen Lightning Striker, and a Qimen Qi Cultivator.
Needless to say, Shi Guangzu's thunder-killing technique made him majestic and powerful. Taoist traditions like thunder technique follow an upright path. This is something determined by the thunder method. When the thunder and lightning are combined, the stronger one wins. .
Hou Zi's understanding of thunder is not inferior to others, but he has never used it and regards it as his most important trump card. With the experience of killing three Guomen Taoists in the sea, he is very familiar with the Guomen Taoism. familiar.
It was a duel, with Hou Zi being struck by thunder and swords, and Shi Guangzu being struck by swords and thunder. In the end, the competition was about who could resist better.
The result was very simple. Although Hou Zi was chopped black but still standing, Shi Guangzu could not catch the sharp flying sword and had to be carried down.
This is a very orthodox and classic thunder sword duel. There is no conspiracy or calculation. It returns the battle to the scope that practitioners should have. Both sides are excited to see it.
The winner should not be complacent, and the loser should not be discouraged. This is the essence of spiritual practice.
Such a battle began to plant the elements of coexistence between the two bandit groups.
This was Hou Zi's deliberate move, because he had realized the harm of completely defeating the Feng Chai Bandits, or both parties would suffer losses. In the end, the Huya Bandits would be the only ones to benefit, while the Wu Clan would benefit.
The art of fighting is to attack what must be attacked and to win over everything that can be won; under the current general situation, it is already very difficult to deal with the Wumen. He does not want to drag the Southeast Gate into the water and leave a chance of meeting each other. What?
Especially when there are many smart people in the other camp.
Gao Tianqi is another type. He can intuitively feel this person's pride and vague hostility towards the Yanmen sword cultivator. This is also consistent with the fact that the Qimen is the Taoist sect closest to the Southwest Wumen.
There is nothing to say to this person, just a direct tit-for-tat confrontation, neither a deliberate show of kindness nor a deliberate provocation, it is purely a show of skill, and no one is letting anyone off the hook.
This was the longest battle among Hou Zi's nearly ten battles. In the end, he had the last laugh without revealing his trump card.
