Chapter 423: A man who can bend and stretch
The entire underworld trembled after the fierce bombardment. How could Zhao Wuyang's small body withstand such power?
Fortunately, the howling of the white-headed hound was heard at the right time. Although Shang Lu was still sitting cross-legged and floating in the air, the mechanism stopped at this time.
When the dust and fog cleared, Zhao Wuyang was still standing there intact. Standing in front of him was Zhan Li who was practicing the "Calm and Calm" technique.
Lingxiang once said that although Zhanli was a demon, he was extremely talented, and even Hanyang could not compare to him, so she never hid her skills when teaching them.
Shang Lu's attacks would have been broken countless times by Lingxiang's magic shield. However, Zhanli had only been practicing with him for more than two years, yet he managed to withstand them all. This shows how talented he is.
Besides, Lingxiang was not familiar with martial arts, and only knew the how but not the why. Therefore, Zhanli's kung fu mostly depended on his own practice, and Lingxiang only provided some methods.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Shang Lu's expression did not change. He flipped his handprint, and those mechanisms began to dismantle and change again.
Zhan Li narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, recalling what happened when Ling Xiang had just brought him to the palace.
At that time, Zhan Li had a stubborn look on his face and was not very convinced by the young Lingxiang. He also knew nothing, but Lingxiang always forced him to learn and had to fight with him in actual combat.
After struggling in the market, he has his own way of surviving, but in Lingxiang's hands, he feels like a fool and can never defeat her.
Later, Zhan Li was finally convinced and devoted himself to practicing with Ling Xiang. Only then did Ling Xiang talk to him in a gentle voice.
Later, Adao became Zhanli's sparring partner. At first, he could never beat him, but after two months of intensive training, Adao was no longer Zhanli's opponent.
After spending a long time together, Zhanli became more humble towards Adao, who always emphasized that he was his senior brother. But how could his opponent always be such a little guy?
"If you can't beat him, then just find a way to run away." After hearing Zhanli's doubts, Lingxiang looked indifferent.
"Run?" Zhan Li was extremely surprised. "As a man, how can you retreat? Isn't that unworthy of being a human being?"
"What's wrong with being a real man? There is no hurdle that a real man cannot overcome?" Lingxiang smiled.
"Everyone says that a true man is one who is 'unfaithful,' 'unyielding,' and 'unyielding,' but how many people can truly live up to these six simple words?"
"Everything has its ups and downs, and there's nothing shameful about running away. It's just normal, so why should you be ashamed?"
"The mountains remain green, the firewood lasts, the winter is long, and the end of the year is near."
"It's said that even ten years is never too late for a gentleman to seek revenge. In my opinion, only those who can endure the momentary righteousness in order to plan for the future can be called 'real men.'"
After hearing Lingxiang's words, Zhanli fell into deep thought. After pondering for a long time, he asked again, "But what if the opponent is too strong and there is no escape at all? How should we deal with it? For example... General Dingyou?"
"Dingyou" is the title given to Shanglu.
"You can't outrun Shanglu?" Lingxiang looked puzzled.
The Chinese herb looks so bulky, how fast can it run?
"It's not a question of whether I can run or not, it's a question of whether you can run..." Zhan Li said unhappily.
This Master is really...
How should I put it? So silly...
"Hmm... that's a problem." Lingxiang pondered for a moment. "How about I teach you a new set of skills today? Although it's not my forte, if you were me, I think you would be able to achieve some success."
Zhan Li rolled his eyes to himself. "A new technique? Aren't they always just explaining the basics of a new technique? Isn't the rest up to you to figure it out on your own? You're saying you're not good at it anymore, so why can't you teach me something you're good at?"
It's really silly...
But what Lingxiang is good at is not something that ordinary people can easily learn.
"Zhanli! Zhanli!" Seeing Zhanli distracted, Zhao Wuyang called out anxiously.
With a powerful enemy at hand, how can you have time to think about random things?
Zhan Li suddenly turned around and said, "There's no end to this. If we don't capture Shanglu right away, we'll just be exhausted and ultimately defeated."
"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Wuyang suddenly felt that Zhan Li was probably thinking of a solution just now.
"I have a trick, but I've never used it before. I don't know if it will work, but I have no other tricks right now. I might as well give it a try. It's better than wasting time like this." Zhan Li hesitated, "But..."
"But what?" Seeing Shang Lu's mechanisms being pieced together one by one, Zhao Wuyang's eyes turned red with anxiety.
The situation is urgent, why hesitate? Just use whatever tricks you have!
"I'm not completely sure. If no one delays and helps, I'm afraid it may not succeed."
The marks on Zhao Wuyang's body became increasingly faint, and his face showed signs of fatigue, and it was obvious that he was holding on.
The sound of the machine has stopped, and in front of them are twelve machine men, all of them are armed with sharp weapons and full of murderous intent.
The twelve men were of different sizes. The largest one was five zhang long and six feet long, while the smallest one was three zhang tall.
But no matter their size, they are all huge monsters compared with Zhao Wuyang and Zhan Li.
Moreover, these twelve people stood on each side, like a battle array, which was very majestic.
Zhao Wuyang really didn't understand how such a small mechanism could be used to construct such a large person, and twelve of them at that.
"Be careful, it's the formation of twelve bronze men of the Earthly Branches." Zhan Li reminded.
Lingxiang often said, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles without danger." It is always a good idea to be prepared, so a long time ago, she asked Zhanli and Adao to secretly gather information from the demon world, which naturally included the details of the various demon generals.
Many years ago, the demons fought against Fengdu. Shang Lu used this move and single-handedly wiped out three thousand underworld soldiers in one fell swoop. After the war, his fame spread throughout the demon world.
Lingxiang recognized the formation at a glance. It was said that this formation was given to the First Emperor by an immortal in his dream to suppress demons and monsters in the world. Unexpectedly, Shang Lu learned it.
Zhao Wuyang didn't seem to take this matter to heart: "If it's just a delay, my limited efforts may be enough."
Zhan Li was surprised, but he didn't delve into it. He just glanced at Zhao Wuyang and then quickly left.
There is no room for hesitation on the battlefield.
Shang Lu didn't care. In his eyes, these two people were nothing more than ants. He just moved his fingers slightly, and the twelve mechanical men rushed straight towards Zhao Wuyang.
The heavy footsteps shook the ground, but Zhao Wuyang put away his soft sword, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands together.
What happened three years ago changed everyone. During these three years, everyone was seeking something, perhaps an answer, a hope, or a way to break through themselves.
Everyone around you is moving forward, so there is no reason for you to stand still.
Three years ago, Zhao Wuyang was helpless and trapped in a city, but this time, he would never back down.
The only audible sound was the sound of his breathing, and everything around him seemed to become silent as he breathed. A stream of air overflowed from Zhao Wuyang's body, becoming restrained and heavy, blowing the ends of his hair.
Just when the huge mechanical man was seven steps away, Zhao Wuyang suddenly opened his eyes, and the sun, moon, and stars were all in his sight.
A chessboard suddenly spread out under his feet, but there was no vertical or horizontal pattern, only small dots arranged on it. The stars in the sky appeared in response to the times, scattered all over the place, and the mirage was brilliant. And where Zhao Wuyang was located was Tianyuan.
Before Zhenren Qianyuan went into seclusion, he advised Zhao Wuyang to practice inner vision more often, to peek into his inner realm and observe the great Dao. His purpose was to let him make good use of the power of the ancient sky.
Zhao Wuyang also kept his master's teachings in mind and never slacked off for three years, which is how he figured out this move.
However, Zhao Wuyang had never actually used this trick, so he had no idea how effective it was.
But the arrow is on the string and has to be shot!
Zhao Wuyang raised his arm high, and then, like dropping a chess piece, he shouted: "I will use my body to determine the origin of the universe, and I will use my piece to control the world!"
