Chapter 6 – Pivotal Breakthrough
Because they were inti-the-earth qinggong skill, the two boys were completely unaware that after it lost control, the official shi+p was crashi+ng to the shore By the ti down following the ht down into the nether world
Things had happened so suddenly that even with their current skill, they lost their balance and rolled upside down on the deck and could only hold on to the railing ropes The as screah in the air, while underneath their feet was the surging, turbulent river And then suddenly they found that the lower half of their body was already sub on the cloud, riding the fog,in the air It is thus clear how bad the hull was jolted left and right
Other than the sound of shattering hull against the rocks and the terrifying sound of the water wreaking havoc, they could not hear the battle between Yun Shuai and Bai Qing’er and the others All around was so dark that they could not even see the fingers in front of their face
‘Crack!’
With a loud, crisp snap, the mast finally broke away froether
Naturally the two boys did not have time to worry about Yun Shuai and the others’ victory or defeat; they struggled with everything they had to swim toward the opposite bank By the time they crawled up on a rock on the beach and looked across the river, they saw the silhouette of the broken shi+p stranded a the rocks, and could only look at each other ry shed and said, “This time it could be said that our troop deploy the boat, ould have thought that we caught a shi+pwreck? We wanted to steal soht water; it’s useless to fish it up the water”
Xu Ziling said, “Exactly because the firearht catch water that they used material like peach wood to seal it up; moreover, they must have taken ’er already lost the hostage, she won’t be willing to give up this batch of firear it away does not seeet your intention”
Shrugging his shoulders, Kou Zhong said, “Whatever you say Ay! If we could train qinggong skill like Yun Shuai, it would greatly benefit our trip to Guanzhong What do you think about this idea?”
Xu Ziling stared fixedly at the opposite bank, where the dark shadow of the shi+pwreck blended with the dark clouds overhead Knitting his pair of delicate and slender eyebrows, he pondered silently for a , “This matter, if we say it’s difficult, it’s not difficult at all; if we say it’s easy, it’s not easy at all Proble the Xueyi Tan [lit beach to learn a skill (or art), see Book 2 Chapter 9], we have never focused on how to ihtness skill method What idea do you have inside your belly?”
Wiping a drop of water hanging on his eyebrow, Kou Zhong said, “Just nohen Bai Yaonu pounced on Yun Shuai, it looked as if Yun Shuai was also going to leap high to ht that just like a bat, he spun around to evade, giving the impression of some ‘man between the heaven and the earth’ principle The fact is, when you throw a stone or shoot an arrow, it will fly toward the target following a certain natural curvature Evidently this is the law of physics Based on the shape of the object and thethe force, if we speak about the force application itself, naturally straight line is the quickest, but saber strike in an arc is the uard, as well as the fiercest”
Xu Ziling was shaken He said, “Your re in the air, his outer garment swelled This is si its shape, naturally it will acquire a certain trajectory”
Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling’s skintight water armor, and then he looked at his own, and said with a wry shty-, ninety-percent, not far from a hundred-percent – accurate Too bad we have no way of testing it irasped a little bit of trick Coe direction midair, it shouldn’t be difficult to surpass Yun Shuai in ter technique It’s just that in term of vertical lift, it is still difficult to co smiled and said, “That’s just because we did not meticulously pursue it! Based on our internal qi power If we could hten the body, two aspects, ill definitely h that fellow Yun Shuai was being surrounded and attacked from all directions, he still ? In e way to breathe, hence he can run fast and juh, while we are just the opposite You also know that e are being entangled in battle, our footsteps ht be slow and heavy”
E said, “Good kid; indeed your power of observation surpass others From this, it is clear that previously we did not understand how to properly utilize the treasured qi poithin our body to the finest detail If we can pass this crucial point, our raded As our meridians have been transformed by the Jade Annulus of He Clan, the intensity of our qi power has already surpassed a lot of people Question is, how are we going to use and display it to the fullest extent?”
Xu Ziling pondered for a moment Suddenly he said with lowered voice, “Do you re Technique]? The secret is positive and negative forces [or inside and outside], but her positive and negative forces also refer to external force; obviously it belongs to lower Buddhist sect Our true qi, which originated fro, which can be turned into the positive and negative forces within the body The reason Yun Shuai’s shenfa can surpass ours is precisely for this principle”
Kou Zhong stood up suddenly and said excitedly, “How about co followed hiht, he said, “Our understanding tonight is no small matter; how can we stop only at foot power competition? We have to compete in martial art skill How’s the condition of the qi poithin your body?”
Patting his belly, Kou Zhong replied, “It is circulating around in the Dantian’s ocean of qi The feeling is like a burst ofto move my body at anythe qi, totally different froht is so iree that spirit andessence, qi, and spirit is precisely this kind of realm When our qi is impure, ill fall, just because the true qi within our body does not continue But as long as when unleashi+ng our shenfa we could utilize the pulling and ative qi within our body, ould get unexpected result But like what you are doing now, you concentrate the true qi into one place where you have control over it, compared to before, the difference is notsaid, “I understand! It’s done, I now divide the qi into two; one circling to the left, the other turning to the right It should be like what you said, positive and negative qi!”
Stunned, Xu Ziling said, “Unexpectedly it is that easy?”
Kou Zhong theatrically replied, “This is called qi turning as one wishes If you don’t believewas silent for ahis divine power Suddenly, like dead leaves being blown by the wind, he floated away, and said with a long laugh, “Good kid! Co shot out like a stone bullet; drawing the Moon in the Well from his back, he called out, “Even if I have to chase after you to the end of the heavens, I will catch up with you”
Before his feet touched the ground, Xu Ziling suddenly changed direction; he disappeared into the woods
Fast as lightning Kou Zhong flew to the shore and kneeled on the ground Gasping for breath, he said, “Nearly exhausted to death, but very happy; I have never been this happy before”
Inserting his saber into the ground, he used it to prop hi caround Froht of the dawn – the shi+p that ran aground on the rocky beach still had its hull mostly intact, yet he did not see any trace of huive up on that batch of firearht s as soon as possible? You will let people co house, and that will be extre laughed and said, “That is precisely my only intention”
The two boys rushed over for one day and one night before reaching Jiangxia, another big city by the Great River, west of Jiujiang Taking the boat going north fro in just one day
Before Jingling fell, this city already fell into Jianghuai Army’s hands, and re the city, they looked for an inn to stay for the night After settling down, they went to the restaurant next door to eat lunch
After their tu muttered irresolutely, “Until noe are still unclear whether Yun Shuai have rescued Lian Rou or not?”
Xu Ziling said, “Of course he succeeded in rescuing Lian Rou Otherwise Yun Shuai would not dare to openThisblocking the river and interrogating the Bai Yaonu and the others’ attention, he utilized his reaching-pinnacle lightness skill to infiltrate the shi+p; the-Gods-did-not-know, the ghosts-did-not-perceive he rescued his daughter out”
Kou Zhong continued his analysis, “This felloas even able to guess that the enehter away by land route, thereupon disguising hihter he seized the opportunity to iven away the bride, but lost his ar to trick the enemy] No wonder the Western Tujue could hold the Eastern Tujue in a stale hihed and said, “But the one obtaining the real advantage is us Were it not for receiving Yun Shuai’s enlightenh in the shenfa departorously; nodding his head, he said, “We are certainly the benefiting party But back to the topic, our plan of hitching a ride on the boat fizzled out, now that the world does not know our real face, we could just swagger into the city Naturally we could also invite endless trouble Perhaps even tonight shi+ Xianzi [fairy] plus the Four Great Baldheads e us Tell , Xu Ziling said, “Calling the some respect to those men who had reached the holy ood advice, Kou Zhong sot you have predestined affinity with Buddhist school; Ling Shao, please forgive et to tell you, your Luoyan Jiejie [elder sister] has arrived in Guanzhong”
E said, “Li Mi has really surrendered to Li shi+ nodded in affirmative He explained, “It was Ol’ Die who told me But how could Li Mi be someone who live out of someone else’s resources? No matter how courteous the Li Family treated him, it is useless But Li Mi’s skill is certainly no small matter, plus he hates us to the bones To hiainst Before, defeating him was just pure luck, not because our ability and wisdom could really surpass his or even Shen Luoyan’s”
A said, “It’s rare that you are so , you are not as confident as what you are showing on the outside”
