In the Blade

Chapter 223 Hydraulics

"Finally done."

Yu Laoer, who was far away in Lijia Village, wiped the sweat from his forehead. At this moment, he was almost exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

But it was all worth it.

With the fall of the last hoe, the water he had been waiting for for a long time finally flowed from the river into the canal, and the fields rented by his family, including the ruins of the hilltop that had been leveled, finally became irrigated land.

Although it was not good enough, it was still irrigated land, a symbol of high yield, and his hope for the future.

"More, more."

Yu Laoer, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the water that had already overflowed into the canal, and only hoped that the river water would come more, more.

However, the river water stopped there after all.

It was true that the river water entered the canal, but it only stopped at the waist. As for the farther places, the river water refused to pass anyway.

"This..."

Yu Laoer was sweating profusely in anxiety.

But the river water in the canal was not affected by his will after all.

In fact, he had some idea in his mind. Even if the mountain had been completely flattened and turned into fields, its terrain was still higher than the river next to it - as we all know, water flows to lower places. Even if he opened a canal here, how could the river water, which was already in a low place, flow to higher places?

But he still had some lucky thoughts, thinking that the river water might not be as low as he imagined? If there was a little chance, the water could be diverted normally.

But the facts proved that his worries were right.

"Is there no other way?"

Yu Lao Er still did not give up.

If it was in the past, when he saw this situation, he might have just admitted it directly. After all, if he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it, even if he didn't give up - but not long ago, he saw with his own eyes that someone could do something that was completely impossible, and the fields opened on the mountain were even more ironclad evidence of this ability.

There is always a way, there is always a way.

Even the mountains can be moved away, so can't the water flow to higher places?

"If that warrior is here, there must be a way."

Yu Lao Er couldn't help but think of the warrior named Du Chengfeng.

If Du Chengfeng was here, what would he do?

——————————

"If the evil spirit is compared to water, then it is well known that water flows to lower places."

Du Chengfeng, who had gained inspiration, was trying to explain his idea to Liu Bolun, which was also his way of organizing his thoughts.

If this idea can convince others, it is at least feasible in theory. Since it can be passed in theory, it will also reduce many mistakes in practice - but it is obvious that Liu Bolun can't understand his ideas very well. Facing his serious narration, Liu Bolun's expression became more and more confused.

"Is your brain broken?"

Liu Bolun's face became serious.

"Was it hit in the previous battle?"

"I... forget it."

Seeing that he couldn't convince others, Du Chengfeng had to give up the explanation.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Facing Liu Bolun's doubts, he could only speak with actual results.

In fact, there are still some differences between evil spirit and water. The most significant difference is that the external evil spirit will not be affected by gravity. Water will not fall far before it falls on the ground, but the external evil spirit will only lose its strength due to insufficient control - but this means that it is a better force than water.

Just like what Du Chengfeng is doing now.

"Hey!"

Accompanied by a low roar, Du Chengfeng's whole body tensed up instantly.

This made Liu Bolun look sideways.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Bolun looked Du Chengfeng up and down.

"Your expression... are you holding back something?"

"Don't worry, I'm holding back a big one... hey, why are you running."

Seeing that Liu Bolun turned around and left, Du Chengfeng immediately became anxious.

"It's not as big as you think. Come back quickly. I'll show you something powerful."

"What powerful?"

Liu Bolun turned back reluctantly, but only heard a loud bang.

Then, Du Chengfeng disappeared from his sight.

"Huh?"

Liu Bolun quickly looked around. He didn't see clearly where Du Chengfeng was running just now.

Or...

"Look up!"

Du Chengfeng in mid-air couldn't help laughing.

"You can't imagine it!"

"You..."

Liu Bolun was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect this.

But immediately, he realized that the principle of Du Chengfeng's doing all this didn't seem that complicated.

As everyone knows, as long as you can release the evil spirit, you can use the evil spirit to amplify your moves, and even launch a powerful evil spirit attack. Those sword spirits that fly far away at any time are representatives of this. And what Du Chengfeng is doing now is nothing more than changing the evil spirit attack that originally flew out horizontally to hitting the ground.

Just like you can prop yourself up by holding your hands on the ground, you can also fly by hitting the ground with evil spirit.

This is not even something with any technical difficulty. Most people can't do it simply because they don't think about it. But if you really want to do it, let alone Du Chengfeng, anyone who releases evil spirit can probably do it.

This made Liu Bolun dazed.

It turns out that the flying and hiding that scared him before was so simple that he could even fly up to the sky by releasing his evil spirit.

This is simply...

"This is not something that everyone can do."

Du Chengfeng, flying in the air, shook his head.

"Didn't you notice it just now?"

"...What did you notice?"

Liu Bolun was stunned by the question.

He was just knowledgeable, not a real warrior. It might be okay for him to chat, but it would be too much for him to distinguish the application methods of evil spirits, who had never killed anyone.

The main reason was that he really didn't see any difference. Isn't this just a simple release of evil spirits?

"It's different, completely different."

Du Chengfeng thought about it and decided to demonstrate it.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the ground not far away.

"Then what?"

Liu Bolun was more and more confused.

"What are you holding back?"

"Have you tried to press the water together?"

Du Chengfeng's face became more and more stiff.

"That's it. Press the liquid together, press again, and then press again until you can't press any more..."

Bang!

Accompanied by a sharp explosion, a hole suddenly appeared on the ground.
