In a dead forest, iron fences were erected out of thin air, forming a deep prison.
The prison is bottomless, and at first glance, it is dark, gloomy, and foggy.
What's swirling around inside the iron bars is the "bad breath" that comes with the prison, and it's another kind of punishment that the prisoners suffer. As long as there's this kind of bad luck, there's something like falling into hell and never seeing the light of day again.
despair.
However, at this time, the prison was not so depressing, but instead full of vitality.
When Tang Zhao rushed to the battlefield, he thought he had seen it wrong: at first glance, it was all green.
The prison was actually full of trees. It was a forest.
Trees, cages, and trees formed a chain of rings. The two fighting swordsmen were hidden in the innermost trees, unaware of the situation of the battle.
"Very depressing."
Tang Zhao said sincerely.
This sentence of oppression is not for the prison, but for the forest inside.
The shady forest outside is already very depressing. Except for the excessively lush trees, there are no birds, beasts, insects, or any living creatures. It looks like a green desert. But after all, several species are the same, and the heights are similar.
There is a kind of neat sparseness. And the forest in the prison may be because of the cramped place. The trees are next to each other, the branches are closely connected, and the green leaves are tight and airtight. It is tighter than those iron fences. Looking at it
Like a stronger cage, it makes people feel more depressed.
But depression does not mean that these trees are lifeless. On the contrary, they are particularly vibrant and full of explosive vitality. Although the iron bars of the prison block most of the sight, Tang Zhao feels that they seem to be still growing and constantly rising upwards. If
It's not that the cage has a lid, it's even high enough to penetrate through the wall.
This kind of scene... can only be said to be worthy of Xia Shangzhu Kingdom, right?
Although Tang Zhao heard what Shi Chunqing said, he knew that the Shangzhu Kingdom in it was the Summer of Four Seasons, and it was not the same style as the Shangzhu Kingdom represented by those from all directions.
Sow in spring and grow in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter.
Xia Shangzhu's sword should be able to make trees grow and shade them. But this growth obviously does not include animals or even other plants. Only the trees he recognized can grow in such a dedicated and extreme way.
Deputy Chi also looked at the cage with a solemn face, and suddenly sighed: "Ah Zhao, we are late. This is no longer a battle we can participate in."
Tang Zhao was startled, and Deputy Chi pointed him out: "Now this battle has reached the stage of swordsmanship. The battle has turned from dynamic to static, and it is absolutely difficult to intervene. Swordsmen and swordsmen are different in level, you know, right?"
Tang Zhao said: "This is natural."
Compared with ordinary people, swordsmen are completely reborn, and swordsmen are fundamentally different from swordsmen. Not to mention anything else, life span is also very different. Swordsmen can live up to a hundred years, while swordsmen can live to two or three hundred years old.
. From this point of view, Swordsman is the real leap in life - it's like changing species.
Deputy envoy Chi said: "The battles between swordsmen are unparalleled and earth-shattering. We usually can't get involved. However, there are exceptions. Although the swordsmen's bodies have been refined and can be called steel and iron bones, they are not indestructible.
When he is unprepared, or when someone is attracted to him, it is useful to use powerful sword skills to cool him down. Even if he does not die, Lao Xing can still take the opportunity to break through. It's a pity - once he enters the sword fight, he will be exhausted.
At this stage, they are all surrounded by swordsmanship and protected by swordsmanship. It is impossible to hurt them without breaking through the swordsmanship that protects them head-on. Only swordsmanship can resist swordsmanship, so let’s not even think about it. Instead, we must be careful.
Don't get sucked into it."
Tang Zhao knew that this was Deputy Ambassador Chi's experience, and he recognized it in his heart.
In fact, he lacks knowledge of swordsman combat. He can master some high-level swords based on sword manuals, and has even released sword skills, but he has never really fought against a swordsman-level master. After all, he was not even a swordsman before, and he has already fought in leapfrog battles.
It's very powerful, who can go beyond two levels? A mortal can still cheat against a swordsman, but he can't cheat against a swordsman and smoke.
The so-called "swordsman in the world, swordsman in the world" means that while the swordsman is still walking in the world, the swordsman has already left the world. They should not be ranked with mortals, and the common people and even ordinary people have never heard of the names of those swordsmen.
Because the Procuratorate is so wealthy and has an astonishing background, and the local guards are also swordsmen who are "friendly to the people", the swordsman has to serve as the patrol envoy of the dragon.
Tang Zhao is special. He has known swordsmen since he was a mortal, but this does not mean that he truly understands them, nor does it mean that he can not respect them. Neither Xing Ji nor Ping Jiang Qiu has ever shown a powerful sword in front of him.
On the one hand, Xing Ji never made a move in front of him after becoming a swordsman. Before, Ping Jiangqiu fell into a jar and remained in a state of immortality. He was at the mercy of the white-haired swordsman and pitifully asked Tang Zhao for help. It seemed that he had settled down.
"The shame of a swordsman". But once he gets out of that state and returns to normal, he sits alone in the guest house and imprisons everyone in the jar. No one can escape. Even the life and death of a swordsman like Yun Xiyan depends on his thoughts.
Time, can you say that he is not strong?
Look at the forest in front of you, the large prison with a sudden space cut out in the forest, and the jungle growing tenaciously in the prison. Which of these can be created by swordsmanship?
Tang Zhao mused: "The effects of these sword techniques have no blind spots."
Deputy Chi nodded. Now that he knew he couldn't intervene, he relaxed a little and continued: "Isn't that right? I'll teach you how to distinguish. Swordsmanship is all one movement, regardless of strength, it's all instantaneous.
The victory or defeat can be determined in an instant. The law of swordsmanship tends to be in one state, which is a long-term performance. It is not that there are no swordsmanship that rises and falls instantly, but any swordsmanship that can last for a long time is at least the beginning of the swordsmanship.
The competition between swordsmanship can last forever."
Tang Zhao nodded repeatedly, pretending to have heard these principles for the first time, to give his boss face.
In fact, he has known this method for a long time. After all, no one knows how to analyze swordsmanship and swordsmanship better than the talisman sword master. They not only have to study the secrets of swordsmanship, but also use talismans to reproduce it. The difference between swordsmanship and swordsmanship, he
He knows more than Deputy Chi. Not to mention that he has used swordsmanship himself.
He asked again: "At this point, we really can't do anything?"
Deputy envoy Chi said: "We can stay away... It depends on the situation. After they decide the winner, no matter who wins or loses, it is impossible to decide life and death. There should be some chasing and struggle. Your plan for the year is
I’ll use it in the morning. I can give it to Lao Xing in a while. Is it also useful to the swordsman?”
Tang Zhao wanted to say "It's a one-day plan," but it seemed unnecessary. He frowned and said, "It works, but the effect won't be that good. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, can swordsmanship always win against punishment?"
Deputy envoy Chi said: "It's hard to say. Of course I hope that Lao Xing can win. But he has just become a swordsman and has limited accumulation. He can't be considered very strong among swordsmen, right? But it doesn't matter if he loses to Hua. He has the gift of a prince.
His magic weapon, and other magic weapons, he is a rich man. I still believe..."
Before he finished speaking, there was only a bang!
Countless towering trees broke through the roof of the prison and grew upward.
Once the trees that were originally blocked were freed from their traps, they soared upward, breaking through the sky in an instant. The trunks of the trees thickened at the same time. The trees were already densely packed together, but now they were completely close together and became a huge tree, rising upwards.
Straight forward. Countless branches slanted out from the side, spreading out like dark clouds.
In an instant, the tree crowns were like clouds, covering the sky and the sun!
Deputy Chi and Tang Zhao had already taken a few steps back, but were still almost caught in the branches of the big tree. The leaves didn't look hard, but they were as sharp as knives, and they stretched unstoppably, scraping the ground three times like a razor.
feet, all the trees and rocks on the surface were pushed flat.
Tang Zhao avoided the spread of branches and leaves, feeling anxious: The turtle bandit Shangzhu Guo's swordsmanship was so fierce that he had broken through the prison. Could it be said that Mr. Xing had lost?
Fortunately, at the next moment, several railings soared into the sky and climbed up from the trees. Those iron railings did not extend straight upward, but instead climbed around the tree trunks layer by layer like ropes. No matter how tall the tree trunks grow, the iron railings
Just make as many turns as you want.
If the iron railings were prisons just now, then these railings are shackles now. The big trees are like flying dragons, and the iron bars are the ropes to bind the dragons!
The competition continues!
The big tree keeps getting thicker, and the iron ropes outside can't help but tighten. It just depends on whether the big tree breaks the shackles or whether the shackles imprison the big tree.
Tang Zhao saw the situation clearly and felt suffocated.
"Where's Mr. Xing?"
In a blink of an eye, Tang Zhao saw clearly two figures facing each other solemnly between the treetops and the iron fence.
Although they held their swords in front, they did not fight, but remained relatively still. At the same time, the big tree and the iron fence were struggling to the limit, making a "creak" sound. Obviously, in this case, they were holding too much power.
Counting swords, the big tree and the iron rope are the real swords.
"Roar--"
With a roar, the fiery-red Bifan appeared next to Xingji. After roaring, he jumped onto the iron railing and submerged into it. A relief of Bifan's head appeared on the iron railing. A vivid tiger head appeared at any time, and the iron fence instantly
Tighten it, like a winch to winch the tree.
Immediately afterwards, the heat steamed, as if the heat that had disappeared for more than a month swept back. Waves of heat came from all directions, and the big tree grew even more vigorously. The leaves were green and black, and the branches were like vines that were pulling on the railings.
gap.
Is this summer heat the sword elephant of Shangzhu Kingdom?
At this moment, both sides should have summoned their sword elephants, doubling their strength. They seemed to have given up on other sword techniques, and only relied on these two sword techniques to determine the outcome.
Tang Zhao was sweating profusely and worried: Isn't Mr. Xing the best? This kind of competition excludes tactics. To restrain such wisdom and skill, in the end, isn't it just a matter of fighting for the essence of the sword? Mr. Xing is young, and the sword
Yuan is not a strong point, so why use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points?
Could it be that he has other plans in mind?
Then...what if there is no plan?
Because he didn't have time to update the sword manual, Tang Zhao didn't know what other trump cards Xing Ji had, and he was at a loss for the moment.
Tang Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "Deputy envoy, just in case, I'd better make some preparations. How about... setting a fire?"
