Chapter 212 Strength is the foundation of everything(1/2)
The Mohist swordsmanship is in line with the Mohist philosophy, which emphasizes defense while attacking, and combining defense with attack. The stalemate ability is very strong, but if the strength gap is too large, the effect will be insignificant.
At first, Jing Ke really wanted to see the Mohist swordsmanship, so he didn't give in. He gained the upper hand in just a few moves, making Yan Dan obviously at a disadvantage.
Jing Ke's swordsmanship was sharp, fast, and varied, and the murderous intent contained in his swordsmanship was quite strong. He had incorporated his own elements from the swordsmanship passed down by Gongsun Yu, and it was almost the prototype of a five-step killing sword.
The five-step killing sword is the best swordsmanship in the world. It is an assassin's sword. Its prototype is also a superior swordsmanship. Coupled with combat experience and the gap between cultivation realms, Yan Dan at this time is really
is not an opponent.
If Yan Dan and Jing Ke were enemies, Yan Dan would die on Jing Ke's sword in twenty moves at most, but they are not enemies.
Therefore, when Jing Ke saw that Yan Dan could no longer bear it, he immediately slowed down his offensive and gave Yan Dan a chance to breathe.
When Yan Dan had a chance to breathe, he gave Jing Ke a grateful look, and then his mind began to think wildly about how he and Jing Ke could escape. It was not an option to continue fighting like this. It would be terrible if the enemy sent someone to get involved.
After much deliberation, Yan Dan felt that it would be best to let Jing Ke hold her hostage. She could not help herself but could not help herself.
In this way, he would no longer listen to Yan Chunjun and be threatened by the enemy. If Jing Ke held him hostage, he would have a certain chance to escape.
He didn't believe that people from the Iron Blood Alliance really dared to take his and Yan Chunjun's lives.
Although the State of Yan relied on the State of Qin, it was not a complete vassal. It had its own ideas and interests.
If the Iron Blood Alliance kills him and Lord Yan Chun, even if the father can swallow his anger, he will not turn a blind eye. If a biological brother and a biological son can swallow their anger in this situation, can the throne still be secure?
The entire Yan State will hate the Qin State very much and share the same hatred with the enemy. They will completely alienate the Qin State from top to bottom, and the Zhao State will have no control in the east.
Although Zhao State was protected by Qin State and paid the minimum price, it does not mean that Zhao State has no other options, and the worst is to cede territory and seek peace.
The vitality has not been restored. Facing the strong threat from the Qin State, is it possible for the Zhao State to dare to continue to fight against the Yan State?
He is just a lackey of Luowang. If he really wants to destroy the Qin-Yan alliance, it will probably not be Yan's turn to take action, and Qin will take care of it internally.
Except for Ying Zheng's brother who personally ordered it, can anyone else bear the crime of destroying the Qin-Yan alliance?
The more Yan Dan thought about it, the more confident she became, and she quickly winked at Jing Ke.
Jing Ke didn't understand what Yan Dan meant at first. It took several times to figure out what Yan Dan meant. However, Jing Ke was unwilling and turned a blind eye.
Yan Dan was anxious, no one would be able to live well if he continued like this. He suddenly changed his tactics and stopped defending against Jing Ke's sword. He stabbed Jing Ke with his backhand sword.
This was not a fighting method of exchanging injuries for injuries, but self-mutilation. Jing Ke was the first to attack and his sword was faster than Yan Dan. It was impossible to strike first and come first. In fact, he only got beaten.
The sudden turn of events shocked Jing Ke and he quickly changed his moves. The blade of his sword passed through the clothes of Yan Dan's right arm, grazing the skin with many narrow strokes but not injuring Yan Dan.
If it weren't for Jing Ke's mastery of his own strength and swordsmanship, a bloody hole would have been left on Yan Dan's body.
Yan Dan showed his determination to Jing Ke in an almost self-mutilating way, and Jing Ke could only do what Yan Dan wanted.
Coupled with Yan Dan's cooperation, Jing Ke knocked down Yan Dan's sword after a few moves and took Yan Dan hostage.
Seeing that Yan Dan was being held hostage, before Cheng Qiao opened his mouth, Yan Chunjun took the lead in breaking through the defense and started yelling curses.
"Trash, you are really trash, you are still the prince, you can't even take down a lowly ranger!"
The reason why Yan Chunjun broke through the defense was not only because Yan Dan was captured and his own safety could not be guaranteed, but also because Yan Chunjun could not order others to capture Jing Ke under such circumstances.
After all, Yan Dan is the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom and his brother's biological son. It is impossible for Lord Yan Chun to ignore Yan Dan's life and death in front of a large audience. In that case, it is impossible for Lord Yan Chun to explain to King Yan Xi.
These words immediately left many people speechless. Does the prince's martial arts must be comparable to that of a ranger?
Yan Dan and Jing Ke looked very ugly when they heard this. They were simply not human beings. Are these words human?
Jing Ke wished he had Lord Yan Chun in his hand and wiped his neck with a single sword. You are so despicable!
"What? Do you think you can get away with this?"
With a sneer on his face, Cheng Qiao snapped his fingers with his left hand. Xuanjian, Gansha and others moved and immediately formed a circle to surround Jingke and Yandan.
"I don't believe you really dare to kill him, regardless of the life and death of the Crown Prince of Yan. Do you think you are the King of Qin?"
Jing Ke was naturally very courageous and had a very good psychological quality, otherwise it would not have been his turn to assassinate Ying Zheng. He was not frightened when he saw this, his face was serious, and his tone was very tough.
Qin Wuyang is just courageous, but not mentally competent. After all, courage is not the same as psychological quality.
Of course, Jing Ke is not the only person in the world who is courageous and has very good psychological quality. The reason why Jing Ke is famous is just because he is involved with Zu Long and has the glory of Zu Long.
If it had been anyone else, Jing Ke would not have been so famous, even if he had assassinated the prime minister.
"You are only half right. I don't dare to kill Yan Chunjun and the Crown Prince of Yan easily."
Yan Dan and Yan Chunjun both breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if they had some scruples, and their chances of saving their lives would be greater.
"But this does not mean that if you offend me, you can escape unscathed. At worst, we will not return to Qin State, or we will live in exile, or hide our names, or escape into the mountains and forests."
"If we are lucky, we can survive. Even better, we can make a fortune and live a prosperous life with our abilities."
"Brothers, do you think so?"
"Yes!" All subordinates responded loudly in cooperation.
The expressions of Yan Dan, Yan Chunjun, Jing Ke and others changed slightly. They didn't expect this person to be so popular. In this way, they would not be able to divide the people and cause internal strife.
"I don't want to fight to the end, but if you offend me, no matter who you are, you have to pay the price!"
Sensing Cheng Qiao's relaxed attitude, Yan Chunjun was overjoyed and said quickly: "I have offended a hero, and I am willing to pay the price."
"Money, land, houses, wine, beauties, whatever you want, just ask."
Yes, Jing Ke was a lowly knight, but Cheng Qiao and others became heroes.
This kind of greedy for life and fear of death, and a flattering attitude makes many people despise them in their hearts, but it is just inconvenient for most people to express it in their hearts.
"We don't want what you said. Although we don't have as many as you, it's enough and just right."
"I just want to leave you with a profound lesson."
"Each of you will leave a half-foot-long gash on your body and bleed."
The biggest reason why he put forward such a condition was that Cheng Qiao had no intention of killing them at all. They all had value, and it would not be too late to kill them after the value was drained.
Others were surprised and happy when they heard Cheng Qiao's condition. It was so relaxing.
Only Yan Chunjun's face changed drastically, and he felt very frightened and frightened.
He has always been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He can reach out with clothes and open his mouth with food. He has never suffered any minor injuries, let alone such a long wound, which is really fatal.
He would rather pay twice as much money than make a hole in it.
Yan Chunjun wanted to bargain for a replacement, but he felt the sharp coldness on his neck and swallowed the words back in his stomach. A life was much more important than a cut.
"I'll go first."
Jing Ke let go of Yan Dan, turned the long sword over, held it with his backhand, and slashed his abdomen from left to right without hesitation. His clothes tore, and a gash about half a foot suddenly appeared, and the blood flowed out and turned red instantly.
He took off his clothes without even frowning.
Although their positions were different, Jing Ke's decisive and tough behavior still made Cheng Qiao admire him. Isn't it a man who can bend and stretch?
Cheng Qiao knew that Jing Ke was not afraid of death. The reason why he surrendered was probably due to Gongsun Li and Gongsun Yu. In Jing Ke's heart, he should think that he could not die yet.
"you can go now."
Cheng Qiao waved his hand, and the circle surrounding the two people opened a gap. Jing Ke held his sword in his hands and saluted with his fists, but had no intention of leaving immediately. He looked at Yan Dan.
Yan Dan picked up his sword and followed Jing Ke's example and gave himself a blow, except that the sword was drawn from right to left.
Compared with Jing Ke's toughness, Yan Dan is a little less strong, but after all, he is a prince who has gone through a proton career and has suffered a lot. He only has a slight frown.
"Now it's your turn. Do you think you should do it yourself, or let your nephew help you?"
"I guess you can't do it yourself."
Yan Dan, who had just walked out of the encirclement, stopped. If his good uncle couldn't be cruel, he would be happy to do so. Anyway, in his opinion, he had already broken his skin tonight.
"You don't need him for this little thing, just do it."
Cheng Qiao: "..."
I thought you were going to do it by yourself, it seemed like you were so tough...
"Since you ask so, let me help you once."
"No need to thank me, it's the joy of helping others!"
When Yan Chunjun heard this, he cursed in his heart, "You are shameless, and you want me to thank you, I..."
As soon as he thought of this, Cheng Qiao took action.
A sword struck Yan Chunjun's back, and blood came out, no more, no less, exactly half a foot, and then a pitiful howl like a slaughtering pig sounded, the sound was so loud that it could be said to shake the whole world!
Cheng Qiao was merciless in his attack. The blade of the sword penetrated half an inch into the flesh, and the wound was much deeper than what Jing Ke and Yan Dan had done by themselves.
There is no need to be merciful at all, and Yan Chunjun will still support him when he changes to his official identity in the future.
As for the Five Thunder Controlling Seal, Cheng Qiao didn't plan to use it either.
Although Yan Chunjun has various shortcomings, he is very proud of his identity and bloodline. Maybe he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he may not be able to accept being someone else's slave. This is a huge insult.
For people who consider themselves noble, the most difficult thing to accept is to become someone else's slave!
In addition, Yan Chunjun does not need to use the Five Thunder Controlling Seal. As long as the benefits given are enough, there is nothing he dare not do, and the benefits given can be doubled when the Yan Kingdom is destroyed.
Jing Ke and Yan Dan cannot be controlled by the Five Thunder Controlling Heart Seal.
