Wild North America 1846

evening

At the Shanhaiguan construction site, most of the Chinese workers who had been working for a day have returned to the villages. The construction site has returned to silence, but a few bonfires are still burning, dispersing the darkness in the valley.

Only one day,

About 80 meters of the 4-meter-high wall have been built. According to this progress, the main construction of Shanhaiguan, which is more than 170 meters long, can be completed in up to three days, which is extremely fast.

The lit bonfire continues to bake the boards and accumulate wood for the next step of building the camp.

Some Chinese workers who stayed behind were guarding the wood pile and were responsible for rotating the baked boards at night. They also guarded the bonfire and added dead branches and residual wood in a timely manner.

Looking back towards the village

The wooden houses were submerged in the thick darkness. From the windows of the wooden houses, a dim kerosene light came out. People who had not yet fallen asleep gathered together and chatted excitedly about the events that had happened in the past two days.

Richard took the heavily armed guard captain Liu Wu and others, and after checking the sentries inside and outside the village wall, he walked back along the road into the valley, stopped at the entrance of the village, and gave instructions;

"Let the team disband. You all go back and rest. These days are extraordinary times. Don't forget to take turns checking the sentry at night."

"As commanded."

Everyone agreed one after another, and the queue dispersed, and the figures in twos and threes quickly disappeared into the night.

The camp of the Datang Hui has not yet been established. The team members live in small teams of 10 people and live in scattered wooden houses in various places. They gather some hay as beds and wrap themselves in blankets to lie down on them. The conditions are quite simple.

"What...is something wrong?" Richard asked slightly surprised when he saw Liu Wu leaving and coming back.

Liu Wu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and seemed to make up his mind to answer;

"Master, since I have become a disciple of the Tang Dynasty, I will follow the master all the way to the dark side in my life.

But there are some words in my heart that are stuck in my throat, and I can't express them quickly.

If the young master doesn't let me say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep the whole night when I go back."

"Oh, tell me?"

"Master, the "Water Ghost" who has been with the young gang leader Lin Zhanyuan for a long time has confessed that this person has always been unscrupulous in his actions and has excellent martial arts skills. He is especially good at the 12-way leg kick and Shaolin's precept-breaking knife skills. This makes me very worried."

Speaking of which

Liu Wu sighed sadly and continued;

"It's not a small disrespect, but I think it's enough for the young master to agree to the agreement hall's request for a duel. But agreeing to the other party's request for a sword duel is a bit too much.

Lin Zhanyuan started practicing martial arts at the age of 5, and has been practicing martial arts for more than 26 years now. He has mastered the true Kung Fu of the Southern Shaolin School, including boxing, kicking and swordsmanship. Even if he doesn't use any evil ideas, it is difficult for the young master to defeat him in cold weapons.

If you are proficient in swords, it would be easy to say, but the young master is not good at it. It would be too dangerous to sacrifice the strength of the musket and the weakness of the sword.

When I think of this

When I was young, I was so anxious that I couldn’t sleep at night!”

After saying that, he let out a heavy sigh.

Li Cha could see that Liu Wu was sincerely thinking about himself, and this appearance could not be faked. He felt a warmth in his heart, and he pondered for a moment and asked, "Liu Wu, you have also practiced kung fu for twenty years. If we fight

Is Lin Zhanyuan sure?"

"To tell you the truth, young master, I was taken in by my master when I was 12 years old, and I just started practicing martial arts. I have already missed the best time to lay the foundation. What I am practicing is not boy's martial arts. If I were to face Lin Zhanyuan, I would have no chance of winning at all.

It’s just a matter of how many rounds I can survive in his hands." Liu Wu shook his head without confidence.

"I heard that you are good at the Five Tigers Cutting Sword, but you can't compare to the Shaolin Breaking Sword Technique?"

"It is incomparable. The Shaolin Breaking Sword Technique is secretly passed down by the Southern Shaolin School. The sword technique is profound and can be used like an antelope hanging its horns without a trace. It is a level higher than the Five Tigers' Door-Breaking Knife Technique. Although it is a small one, it is incomparable."

Lin Zhanyuan has been skilled in swordsmanship for 20 years, but he is not a soft-legged crab, and he has both fists and legs. In comparison, he is even worse."

"I heard that in martial arts, only fast ones can't be broken." Richard suddenly became interested, a pair of starry eyes shone in the night, and said in a deep voice, "Just talk and don't practice fake moves. Let's go on a few steps."

How about a round?"

"Uh...it all depends on the young master." Liu Wu hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Although it was a bit disrespectful, he wanted to use his own experience to make the young master understand the horror of people who have practiced martial arts for a long time and that they were not easy to get along with, so he would stop being arrogant and take the duel in ten days seriously.

Take ten thousand steps back

If you are really unsure, just use the young master's formidable spear skills to find an opportunity to get rid of Lin Zhanyuan in advance.

The morality of fair duels is a joke in the eyes of old Jianghus like Liu Wu.

After decades of ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, Liu Wu is used to betrayal, intrigues and intrigues. The rivers and lakes are so dangerous that only you can't imagine, and there is nothing you can't do.

Now Liu Wu and Datang will be a grasshopper on a rope. Once the sky falls, he will be finished too. He can't help but worry about it!

Night is like water

Village beach

Richard and Liu Wu each stood facing each other with swords in their hands, about five meters apart, ready to test their skills.

Liu Wu pointed his sword downward, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Master, please forgive me for offending you. You have no foundation in swordsmanship before. I am going to use 30% of my skills to deal with it. If I can't cope with it, I can stop in time."

."

"Just take action, don't be too scrupulous."

"Master, I'm offended."

Liu Wuguo said he was offended, drew the sword in his hand and "swiped" two sword flowers, and then made a sword-raising stance, and then used the three-power Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword Technique.

For a moment, the light of the knife flashed, accompanied by the sound of "whirring" wind, like a silver knife wheel.

Richard focused on blocking, blocking, and offloading on the defensive. After a short period of time to adapt to a dozen moves, he suddenly attacked with a few strikes with a speed faster than lightning. Liu Wu was caught off guard and retreated continuously.

Then, Richard put the knife away in his hand, smiled slightly and said, "The Five Tigers' Door-Breaking Sword Technique is indeed very practical, but the speed of your execution is too slow. You can use 70% of your skill to attack. Let me see if I can handle it."

?”

"Master, your martial arts talent is truly the only one I've seen in my life. Although your skills and tactics in wielding the sword are hard to see, you can defeat most novices with just your brute force and superhuman agility. But this is far from the best.

Not enough!" Liu Wu's expression became serious, he cupped his hands and said;

"Further on, the younger one will use 70% of his power. The Five Tigers' sword-breaking technique is known for its violent attacks. Master, please be careful."

"Come on, let me see how powerful it is?"

"Master, I'm offended."

It's no joke that Liu Wugong has been using the Five Tigers' door-breaking sword technique for more than 20 years. When he used it now, the sky was really filled with cold light. The sword was fast and heavy, obviously much faster than before.

The sword light flickered like a shining wheel of swords connected together, coming like a violent storm.

At first, Richard was forced to retreat step by step by the opponent. The clear and crisp sound of the swords clashed like pearls falling on a jade plate, which made his hands numb.

However, with super agility that is 2.7 times that of ordinary people, and extremely fast dodges and leaps, Richard could barely cope with it. However, his hands were numb from the shock when they slashed each other. Obviously, his strength was far inferior to Liu Wu's.

After all, Liu Wu is also a strong practitioner. His physique is about two or three times that of ordinary people. In addition, the force he exerts is heavy and ruthless. He fully displays the ferocious characteristics of Wuhu's door-breaking sword technique, and Richard can cope with it.

Extremely strenuous.

After a while

The two sides went back and forth for more than 20 rounds. Half of Richard's arms were almost numb from the shock, and he almost knocked the knife in his hand away during the hard fight.

This made Richard feel the huge gap in strength, so after blocking, he "swiped" and attacked twice. Taking the opportunity of Liu Wu's offensive to slow down, he immediately called up the system interface and allocated the last free point to

In terms of strength.

Thus

A wave of heat surged up all over Richard's body out of thin air. This heat quickly spread from his Dantian to his whole body, to his arms to his fingers, to his legs to his toes. His strength index also rose silently from 1.4 to 2.4. It felt like

Until the whole body is full of strength.

Over there

Liu Wu didn't know that the young master had already begun to cheat. After the forced attack slowed down, he immediately moved his sword like flying. The sword light poured down from the sky, and the two of them fought together again.

As he kept beating, Liu Wu felt something was wrong.

Originally, it was very difficult for the young master to cope with the Seven-Successful Five Tigers' Door-Breaking Sword Technique. He was like a small tree in a storm. He could only rely on his extraordinary agility to move around, occasionally receiving a few swords, and he was in a state of struggling to hold on.

It's different now

Although Richard was still at a disadvantage, his vision was sharp, his body was agile, and he seemed to have found some power-generating skills. He stabilized his position during the process of blocking the counterattack, and his backhand counterattack was also fast and heavy.

To be able to cope with his seven powerful attacks so quickly was like a martial arts prodigy. This made Liu Wu feel that he had lived like a dog for more than 30 years, and his confidence was greatly affected.

Unconsciously

Li Wu increased his intensity to 80%, and then gained the absolute upper hand.

The two sides fought back and forth for a long time. Liu Wu's offensive was like a wave. Richard was beaten back and forth, but he still held firm.

This is mainly due to the fact that Richard's body skills are too flexible. When he looks defeated, he can dodge with a sudden sideways movement and be able to get rid of most of the attack pressure and bring both sides back to the starting line.

After fighting for more than 100 rounds, Liu Wu had to put away his sword out of breath and said: "Stop...stop for a moment, young...young master, let me take a breath." Under his all-out attack, his physical strength was extremely exhausted.

At this time, Richard was also sweating profusely. He felt that his right arm that wielded the knife was extremely sore, so he nodded and put away the knife and took a few steps back, looking at the steel knife in his hand under the watery moonlight.

Under the powerful and heavy slash just now, the edge of the steel knife in his hand had been curled up, and the edge was numb and shapeless, like a saw blade.

Needless to say, this steel knife is useless.

At this time, Liu Wu's heart could no longer express shock and admiration. He could only attribute all this to the young master's unparalleled talent, and most of his original worries were relieved.

With a little guidance, it doesn't seem impossible to deal with Lin Zhanyuan.

So, after taking a breath to adjust his breath, Liu Wu strode forward and said to Richard sincerely;

"Master, the way you use the sword is completely wrong, and there is no way to chop. You think it should be like this...

As the saying goes, the sword cuts a line and the stick cuts a large area.

To wield a knife, you cannot rely solely on the brute strength of your shoulders, as that will easily lead to injury. You must use your feet as the axis to exert force, transfer it from your hips to your shoulders, arms, and wrists, and drive the steel knife in your hand to swing out.

As long as this force-generating method is mastered well, the chop can be fast, heavy, and labor-saving. The steel knife is like an extension of the wrist, and the attack is like a violent storm, which is unstoppable.

And how can I tell you about this knife technique?

You see... the Five Tigers' door-breaking sword technique is like this, I will show it to you once..."

under the moonlight

Liu Wu slowed down and used the Five Tigers' Door-Breaking Sword moves word for word, teaching them carefully.

Richard studied seriously. In terms of using cold weapons, fists and kicks, Liu Wu was indeed qualified to teach him this wild way.
