Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Duel

The changes in nature are the most elusive, especially the weather, which is more capricious than human personality, and it changes as soon as it is said. Lion Mountain, which has always been sunny, suddenly became gloomy, because at the moment Tang Ao and Wuji duel, the climate suddenly changed. With the strong gusts of wind, the dark clouds covered the sunlight in the sky at once. The air has also become humid, and there is a tendency of rain. The wind blew the sleeves of their clothes flapping. Standing like a lion mountain, it is their people and the swords in their hands that are not blown by the wind.

The long swords used in the life-and-death struggle point to the long swords on each other's chests, no matter how strong the wind is, they can't move, because the hand holding the sword is so firm, and it looks like it wants to put the opponent to death. Holding such a firm hand with such a firm sword is absolutely correct for Tang Ao. But for Wuji, it was wrong, especially here and now. Because he is an angry person, an angry person will be impulsive, and an impulsive person holds a sword, how can he be as stable as Mount Tai? Seeing this in Tang Ao's eyes, he couldn't help being surprised.

It's not that he discovered Wuji's secret, but he took a different look at Wuji's self-cultivation in facing the enemy. He believes that Wuji can suddenly calm down when facing the enemy in a state of anger, which is really a rare excellence. Wuji saw a look of admiration suddenly flashing in Tang Ao's eyes, and couldn't help being startled. He immediately knew what mistake he had made, and immediately understood why Tang Ao admired him. He absolutely can't let Tang Ao admire him, what he wants is Tang Ao to despise himself, so that he can have a chance to find Tang Ao's flaws and defeat him.

So he responded immediately. His hand began to shake very slightly. He deliberately shook very slightly. He knew that Tang Ao would definitely notice this movement that ordinary people would not notice. Sure enough, Tang Ao saw it, and he couldn't help sneering. It turned out that Wuji was not as calm as he imagined. Although Tang Ao saw Wuji's right hand trembling, he didn't make a move immediately, because this was not the best time yet, and the best time was yet to come. He still has to wait. Wuji couldn't help secretly admiring Tang Ao's performance. After all, there are not many people who can observe calmly, don't take action easily, and wait for the best time to take action.

Wuji's hand was moving slightly, but his heart was moving violently, because he had to come up with a new way to face Tang Ao's calmness, he couldn't go on like this, and if he kept going, it would only be bad for him. Therefore, he adopted the method of luring the enemy when he does not move. He suddenly screamed wildly, as if venting the pain in his heart, and then, in a frantic breath, he stabbed Tang Ao thirteen swords. He didn't use the sword skills that the zombies taught him, but his father taught him. This set of swordsmanship is named after Dafengtang, and it is called "Thirteen Dafeng Styles".

Wuji's thirteen swords are just the first of the "Thirteen Stances of Gale", "Great Wind Rises". Each of the "Thirteen Gale Styles" has thirteen moves, and each move is faster than the last, like a strong wind blowing violently, arriving suddenly. Tang Ao didn't attack at all, but just kept on the defensive, watching the coming sword, dodging left and right, dodging thirteen moves in a row. After the thirteen strokes of the first form, Wuji stepped back, and then rushed down to attack again.The second pose, "Slanting Wind and Drizzle", is another thirteen tricks directed at thirteen acupuncture points on Tang Ao's body.

"Slanting wind and drizzle", as the name suggests, each move is oblique, or from above, or from below, from left to right, and the changes of each move are dense, like drizzle usually close together. Tang Ao no longer dodged this time. In fact, it was impossible to dodge alone in the face of this pose. Therefore, Tang Ao's unique swordsmanship was immediately displayed in Tang Ao's hands. There was a sound of the two swords clashing, and the swords of the two had touched thirteen times in a row. This is the Tang family's unique swordsmanship, and every move will collide with the enemy head-on.

Because the Tang family is famous all over the world, not for swordsmanship. It is a hidden weapon. Therefore, the Tang family's swordsmanship is not open and close, but short-handed, narrowing the range very narrowly. The small range and the collision of the two swords are very beneficial to the people of the Tang family. Because they can use the gap to launch hidden weapons. Launching a concealed weapon at close range is already difficult enough to dodge, not to mention the Tang family's unique method of launching the concealed weapon! But Wuji was not afraid of Tang Ao at all, he kept attacking blindly, and kept touching the sword in Tang Ao's hand.

Because he knew that if Tang Ao wanted to use a hidden weapon to hurt him, he would have used it long ago, and there was no need to wait until now. Wuji has this confidence. Of course Tang Ao also knew that Wuji knew that he would not use hidden weapons, but he was not afraid of Wuji either. In addition to relying on martial arts, he also thinks that Wuji's situation is not the best time. Because Wuji just killed his beloved Uncle Shangguan by mistake! So Tang Ao definitely only uses unique swordsmanship, not hidden weapons. Of course, unless Wuji's swordsmanship made him overwhelmed and his life was in danger, he would use hidden weapons.

After Wuji's second form "Slanting Wind and Drizzle" was performed, he realized that he was wrong. He shouldn't use the first two moves of "Thirteen Gale Stances", because these two moves are too warm and slow, at least compared to the latter moves. He is in a bad mood now, he wants to vent his hatred, how can he play in a gentle way? He must use crazy moves to succeed. So he immediately changed his style of play, and immediately launched the eleventh form "Storm Storm" like a storm. Where the sword energy passed, there was a series of sounds of wind and rain, and the fallen leaves around were also blown up and down.

Every sword move is like an angry giant venting the hatred in his heart, furiously and fiercely! The strong wind made Tang Ao's clothes flutter. The rapid rain stabbed Tang Ao's big hole little by little. What a Tang Ao!Standing still in the strong wind, letting the clothes flutter, the body stood still. And the sword in his hand was as fast as a gust of wind, blocking the long sword that stabbed like a strong rain one by one! Thirteen sword blows sounded in a very short time, and it ended again. The wind stopped, the rain stopped. Sweat dripped from Wuji's forehead. And his face was flushed red, like an angry person. This was Wuji's deliberate faking. When he resorted to "Stormy Wind and Rain", he deliberately instigated his internal energy to force his face to become bloodshot, naturally looking like an extremely angry person. Then, he immediately performed the twelfth form "storm and rain"! The speed of this "Storm" is the same as that of the eleventh Form "Storm", but the direction of the attack is different. "Storm and Rain" just blindly attacked from in front of Tang Ao, while "Storm and Rain" used thirteen sword moves to attack from thirteen different positions around Tang Ao. Tang Ao seems to be very familiar with this style, because his people can actually move according to the dynamics of Wuji's figure. No matter where Wuji goes or where the sword stabs, he always uses the sword face to face. With a sound of "ding", the incoming move was blocked. What's even more powerful is that Wuji deliberately leaked a small loophole in the twelfth sword, Tang Ao was as fast as lightning, and the long sword immediately stabbed Wuji through the loophole. Fortunately, Wuji did it on purpose, and he already had a way to block the loopholes, so he couldn't avoid being stabbed. However, Wuji couldn't find a way to fight back. Therefore, Wuji knew that he could no longer use loopholes to lure the enemy, he must deal with Tang Ao with real talents and knowledge, and he must not be careless. Tang Ao was overjoyed when Wuji exposed the loophole just now, but when he found that Wuji was so proficient in remediating the loophole, his joy disappeared immediately. He suddenly realized that Wuji's loophole was intentionally made for two purposes, one is to lure the enemy, and if he fails to lure the enemy, it is to make him take it lightly. At the same time, he was alert, was Wuji's anger just a faux pas?He found that there must be fraud in it. Therefore, when Wuji performed the last form of "Thirteen Forms of Gale", he immediately changed his style of play. From defensive to offensive play. Wuji's thirteenth form is "Thunder and Lightning", the internal force forces the sword to make thunderous sounds, and the subtle changes of each form are as fast as lightning. Moreover, the light of the sword blade was more like lightning in the wind and rain. With a bang, it hit every big hole above Tang Ao's waist. Tang Ao was very satisfied with his choice, because he didn't expect Wuji's swordsmanship to be so powerful. If he still wants to take a defensive position, he may not be able to escape the "thunder and lightning" move. At most, they can only die together, and what's more, it is necessary to cast a hidden weapon to kill Wuji. And this was the last thing he wanted to do. In Tang Ao's heart, the feeling of entrustment he had at the beginning disappeared immediately, and what was replaced was a heart of vigilance. He concentrated his attention, dodged left and right, and suddenly the long sword was like a spirit snake, spitting out letters around Wuji's lightning-like sword. This is not the Tang family's swordsmanship, it is the "Spiritual Snake Swordsmanship" that Tang Ao bought from Xiao Donglou with an antidote back then. Wuji also learned this set of sword techniques. But Wuji couldn't hurt Tang Ao in the slightest. Why? Because Tang Ao combined the Tang family's changing technique of casting hidden weapons in the "Spirit Snake Sword Technique", so that after each move was used, the direction of the sword was different from the original sword technique. This made Wuji not only failed to hurt him, but almost fell into the hands of this set of swordsmanship. Because Wuji is very familiar with every move and style of this set of swordsmanship, he knows where the changes are and where the sword is going. Therefore, he is equivalent to predicting where each of Tang Ao's swords will stab. This is equivalent to knowing where the opponent's loopholes are. As long as you stab the opponent's loopholes with the long sword, the opponent will naturally lose. But Wuji didn't know that Tang Ao's swordsmanship had changed. Therefore, when he stabbed Tang Ao's loophole, Tang Ao's loophole was not only a loophole, but a trap to lure the enemy. Fortunately, the "Thunder and Lightning" style is completely known for its speed, so Wuji was able to avoid Tang Ao's trap in the quick change of moves, otherwise, he would have been killed by Tang Ao's sword long ago. After the "Thunderbolt" was completed, Wuji immediately stepped back, ready to use "Zombie"'s unique sword technique "Ghost Hand Eight Styles". But Tang Ao didn't let Wuji have any chance to breathe. With a flick of the long sword, the man flew up, "the spirit snake came out of the hole", and stabbed Wuji's right wrist. It was too late for Wuji to change his tactics, so he had to take another step back. However, Tang Ao took another step forward, still stabbing Wuji's right wrist with the move of "Spiritual Snake Out of Hole". Wuji had no choice but to take another step back. Tang Ao still used that move to stab Wuji's right wrist. This is the first time Wuji has discovered that such a simple move can produce such a big effect. Unfortunately, the person who uses this move is not him, but his opponent.However, he also realized a truth from neutrality. He didn't retreat, and with his left hand, he slapped Tang Ao with a bland "old man pushing a cart" with a strong wind. Tang Ao had no choice but to block. He didn't want to hurt both sides. Although he could stab Wuji's wrist, he would suffer even more losses if he received a palm. Therefore, he turned the sword that was attacking Wuji's right wrist in the same direction, and the attack came Attacking left hand. Unexpectedly, Wuji's left hand was a false move. When Tang Ao's long sword changed direction, he immediately swung the long sword with his right hand. Stab at the eight acupuncture points on Tang Ao's chest. Tang Ao was so frightened that he quickly took a step back and used his modified "Spiritual Snake Sword Technique" to deal with it. They come and go, they have been fighting for nearly an hour, and the foreheads of the two are already covered with beads of sweat. They were so focused on playing each other that they didn't even notice what was going on next to them. What they didn't notice was that there was a group of people, cake sellers, wonton sellers... They all quietly hid nearby to watch the duel between the two. Tang Ao has already realized that if he continues to fight, he is definitely not Wuji's opponent. The only way to win is to use hidden weapons. This is something he doesn't want. So his left hand was already in his arms, holding a hidden poisonous weapon. When Wuji's sword was slashing at him, he suddenly blocked it with force, the two swords struck each other, and the two of them turned back at the same time to release the strength of each other's blows. At this moment, Tang Ao released his unique hidden weapon! He thought that he could hit Wuji all of them, but he didn't expect that all his hidden weapons were shot down. It was not shot down by Wuji, but by all kinds of food, cakes, cakes, wontons, deep-fried dough sticks, sesame seed cakes, with strong internal force, ding ding ding.Knock out every hidden weapon in front of Wuji. Wuji was already in a cold sweat from fright, and when he knew what happened, another change also happened! Tang Ao is dead, at the hands of these peddlers. "Why did you kill him?" Wuji asked, he knew them, this group of peddlers all had unpredictable abilities, but they were all under Xiao Donglou's command.As long as Xiao Donglou calls, no matter how far away they are, they will arrive without stopping. "Because he killed our master," said the baker. "Your master? Xiao Donglou?" "Yes, he used despicable means to murder Prince Xiao." "Prince Xiao? Is your master a prince?" "It was, and for us, always will be." Wuji suddenly understood everything, why Xiao Donglou had inexhaustible money, and even made the cave in Mount Jiuhua magnificent, he could have whatever he wanted, it turned out that he was the king of a country. "What despicable method did Tang Ao use to kill him?" Wuji asked. "The prince trades various rare antiques and Tang Ao for antidote every year, and sometimes uses swordsmanship. You know the reason, right?" said the cake seller. Wuji nodded, he knew that Xiao Donglou gave the antidote to the "zombie", and the "zombie" used his unique method to relieve Xiao Donglou's strange meridians. "This year, Tang Ao also gave the prince the antidote, but what he gave was poison." Wuji was taken aback, how could Tang Ao do such a thing?He didn't believe it, but he could imagine that when the "zombie" hit Xiao Donglou's body with his unique technique after taking the "poison" medicine, his technique would of course change as soon as he knew he had been poisoned. Become a murderer.The two maverick masters in the world died just like that. "We have investigated, and someone dropped the poison bag." The cake seller said again. "Oh?" Wuji said, "Switched by someone?" "Tang Que." "Tang Que? Why?" "Because he wanted to kill his elder brother so that he could monopolize the Tang family's hegemony." Wuji stopped talking, he believed that Tang Que was someone who would do such a thing. "However, Tang Que was wrong." The cake seller said, "Not only can he not monopolize it, but it will also destroy the hegemony of the Tang family." "why?" "Because the core figures of the Tang family have all been killed by us to sacrifice the spirit of the prince in heaven, and Tang Ao is the last one." Wuji's eyes widened.Can't speak, Tangjiabao is over like this? "The future world will belong to your Dafengtang!" said the cake seller. With that said, they all picked up their things and were ready to go on the road. "Please wait a moment." Wuji called them to stop. "What else do you need?" said the baker. "I want to know your names and how to contact them, so that I can contact you in the future." "No need! The prince is a subjugated king. We wholeheartedly wanted to follow him to recover the kingdom, but we didn't expect him to die at the hands of the Tang family inexplicably. Anyway, over the years, we have become accustomed to wandering. Our wandering home, our name, means nothing to us, young man, do it yourself!" After speaking, the cake seller waved his hand, and everyone left immediately. The huge Lion Mountain suddenly regained its original tranquility, except for the slight voice of the mountain wind blowing on the treetops, there was no sound. Wuji buried Tang Ao's body next to his father, and he stood in front of the two graves in a daze, his thoughts fluctuating. In the morning, these two people who wanted to dominate the rivers and lakes were still alive, but they were buried here in the afternoon! The rivers and lakes are really so sinister!Even brothers, tragedies like Tang Ao's will happen! In Wuji's heart, suddenly there was a sense of awareness, the world is really a place that is not enough to be nostalgic for. Dafengtang can already dominate the Jianghu, but who can guarantee that there is no greater power silently conceived?The intrigue will still be intense sooner or later. Leave these things to others!Leave it to Uncle Sikong to worry about it! Wuji decided to withdraw from this bloody arena of right and wrong. He decided to go to Mount Jiuhua, which is a good place for meditation and sword practice. If there is a chance in the future, he may go out of the mountain, and when the road is uneven, he may draw his sword to help. However, before going to Mount Jiuhua, he had to find someone. A person he loves. Wei Fengniang! --(End of the book)--
