Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 148: Heartbroken
"Brother Jing, are you afraid?"

On the carriage traveling southwest, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were leaning on the left and right respectively.Neither of them huddled in the car to rest, but took advantage of the time on the road to take a closer look at the distant scenery.

The battle between Qin and Zhao was not far from the state of Yan. In order to stay away from the battlefield and avoid being affected by the war, they had to make a large circle before going to Qin.

There were originally a lot of bandits in Zhao State, and now there are a lot more bandits, but they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, so they pose no threat.

Jing Ke felt pity and would just knock these robbers unconscious every time and then sigh in silence.

After his heroic spirit was thrown away by Yishui, he could only be found in the Qin Palace.
Qin Wuyang's sudden question stirred up the dull atmosphere in the carriage.

"What, are you afraid?"

Jing Ke hummed and smiled, without looking at Qin Wuyang, he only waved his whip to urge the horse to run faster.

"Yes, I am afraid."

Qin Wuyang did not look at Jing Ke. He looked at the white bones occasionally exposed on both sides of the road and the buzzing flies.

Even though he dared to commit murder when he was young, what he heard along the way made this young man feel sick in his chest:
"The important task entrusted to us by His Royal Highness is also an important task entrusted to us by the people of Yanzhao. What should we do if we fail?"

Qin Wuyang clenched his fists: "I'm afraid of living up to this mission."

"To be young, you must have the arrogance of youth." Jing Ke leaned to the left, sat down next to Qin Wuyang, and put his arms around his neck:

"Do your best and obey the destiny."

"Just because the two of us have to face the entire Qin court, don't you feel confident~"

"His neck, King Qin's, is also made of flesh. As long as he swings his sword, it will still fall off."

"We only have a chance to wield a sword and carry out the mission of a sword. Anything else has nothing to do with us."

Qin Wuyang felt Jing Ke's slight pressure on his arm and understood that this was Brother Jing trying to wake him up:

"But I want to complete the mission of His Highness the Crown Prince. No matter what, only by completing the mission can we create the best situation for His Highness the Crown Prince."

"No" Jing Ke retorted with a cold face without mercy, and then suddenly smiled: "The act of swinging the sword at King Qin itself is more important than the result after swinging the sword!"

"Our actions are telling people all over the world: We must use courage to resist the enemies who oppress us!"

"You have to fight for your own destiny with your own sword!"

"Even if one Jing Ke or Qin Wuyang fails, there will be more Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang who will stand up."

"Our lives are withering in the main hall of the Qin State, just to tell the carnivores of the Qin State that the six countries are still bloody!"

"Is the sword swing itself more important than the result of the sword swing?" Qin Wuyang tasted these words blankly, and his memory once again recalled the violent killings in his youth.
"That's right." Jing Ke let him go, sat upright, whipped his whip, and urged the slightly slower carriage: "Moreover"

"I have a good friend who is with King Qin~"

"Who?"

"Gane, we were close friends."

'But this time, we are going to be enemies'

Jing Ke did not say the last sentence. This time he assassinated Qin because he actually did not want to see his friend.
On the northern outskirts of Songhai City, Lu Wei came to the waterfall that Fu Nian had recommended to him.

The cliffs here are steep, and the large and small rocks are covered with thin moss and are extremely slippery.

There is no road, so it is really not easy for ordinary people to come here for fun.

First you hear the sound of the rushing waterfall, and it's not until you stand on the edge of the cliff that you can overlook half of the waterfall.

The best viewing point is probably not here, but you need to take a boat to look out at sea.

After personal inspection, the master of the hall gave up his plan to quietly establish a hidden farmhouse here.

Before he came here, he had wondered whether he could use the natural barrier of the waterfall to hollow out the back of the waterfall. He thought it would be wonderful to hide it.

But now after Lu Wei observed it with his own eyes, he found that such fantasy not only wastes people and money, but also has poor results.

It is indeed not easy for ordinary people to come here, and the ecology is very wild.But the waterfall itself will be a natural focus, attracting many knights and knights who can come.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Lu Wei sensed that there were several martial artists enjoying the scenery with him.

Directly opposite the waterfall, on the rocks on the sea, stood a rickety old man in the distance.There are no boats around. If this old man could use his own light skills to get down from here and cross the sea to the reef where he stood, his skills would be enough to be considered a master.

After giving up the idea of ​​establishing a stronghold, Hall Master Lu calmed down and watched the waterfall.

The natural scenery that matches the charm is of great benefit to his whale-drinking sword technique, and it is even more inspiring to the concentration of his sword power in the swallowing sea sword.

So after looking around, he resolutely jumped off the waterfall, deftly preventing the waves from the river and cliff from getting on his clothes.

When it landed on the sea, the ice palm struck out, condensing the sea water into a square ice raft.

With his toes lightly stepping on it, the hall master used the flying snow technique and lowered his body to land smoothly.

Counting the last fight with Wei Zhuang, Lu Wei has jumped over the cliff twice, so he is very familiar with the road and has everything he needs.

The other heroes on the waterfall were shocked when they saw someone jumping into the waterfall, but they couldn't see what was happening directly below.As for the old man on the far reef, he was the only one who knew that Lu Wei had fallen smoothly, and his figure moved slightly.

Hall Master Lu didn't care about this. He was right at the edge of the waterfall, and he could feel the impact of the water force of the waterfall violently pushing the ice raft under his feet to float deeper into the sea.Ice Palm made several more moves, freezing a thick road on the sea.Lu Wei came to the waterfall again, released his inner energy barrier to block the splashing water, and let his body get wet.

And he took advantage of the situation and pulled out the Sea Swallowing Sword, closed his eyes and realized the way of nature in his own swordsmanship.

The ice raft he condensed at the beginning continued to drift, and soon came to the old man on the reef.

The old man is also a swordsman, carrying an ordinary standard long sword on his back.

When the old man sensed that part of the hall master's sword force that had been washed away by the water flow spread to the rocks, the latter's expression became fiery.
Quietly pulling out the sword from behind, he suddenly stabbed the unsuspecting Lu Wei through the waves like lightning!

This is a sneak attack without moral ethics.

Just when the old man was about to succeed, Lu Wei backhanded the Sea-Swallowing Sword and put it on his vest. With a clang, the attack from behind was accurately blocked by the Sea-Swallowing Sword.

Suddenly opening his eyes, the hall master's face was calm, but he rarely had murderous intent.

With a twist of his wrist, he deflected the tip of the enemy's sword.At the same time, Lu Wei turned sideways and let the long sword fall from three inches away from his waist. Without looking, Tun Hai slashed at the old man's neck with great force and accuracy.

The old man had no time to put away his sword at this moment, so he had to use his other hand to take off the scabbard on his back to block, but the hall master's sword was particularly fierce. It cut through the old man without any hindrance, as if he was drawing water, and filled the scabbard with inner energy, and continued to slash at him. neck.

The nameless old man finally felt a little scared. He moved his ears slightly to judge the direction of the airflow around him. He opened the palm of his left hand based on his experience. Only half of the scabbard was left, and then he slid down half of the scabbard and rotated it again to block the front of the sea-swallowing sword.

He was still cut open easily, but the two blocks bought the old man critical reaction time. He bent his body unbelievably against his age and moved his neck out of Lu Wei's attack range.

At the same time, his right hand also reacted and cut Lu Wei in half.

With a cold snort, the hall master put his feet on the ground and took three steps back to avoid the old man's waist slash.

Before retreating, Lu Wei tilted his sword in his hand, and the sword energy turned and slashed across the old man's chest, sharply cutting through the clothing, skin and flesh, leaving thin lines on the bones.

It's a pity that the enemy reacted quickly. The sword seemed to cause a lot of damage, but it was not even a serious injury.

Only then did the hall master see the face of the sneak attacker clearly:
A blind old man?

Blood oozed from the old man's chest, but Lu Wei's attention was only on the old man's eyes, which were wrapped with black cloth.

"The clouds cover the fog, and there is no eye or heart."

This distinctive feature helped Hall Master Lu identify this person: "Old man with a sharp mind, a lone killer traveling across the land of Qi and Chu."

This person will also have a name in the future: Duan Shui, a member of the Six Sword Slaves of the Eight Swordsmen of Luowangyue King.

Now, the power of the Qin State has not penetrated deeply into Qi Chu, and the old man with a narrow mind is still walking in the rivers and lakes.

"You are very strong." Old Man Xinyan stood on the ice road, threw away the sword scabbard with only one third left in his hand, and put the sword behind his back: "Your sword is stronger."

"I like."

The stooped body ignored the wound on his chest, and as if he didn't know what death was, he lowered his head and told his purpose: He had set his sights on Lu Wei's sea-swallowing sword.

"Really~" The hall master smiled instead of being angry: "It also likes your blood."

Without wanting to say anything else, Lu Wei rushed forward and directly used the second style of the Whale Drinking Sword Technique, 'Smoke and Vast Waves'. The sword's power drove the sea water overwhelming, and it was a killing move with one hand.

The old man with an eye on his heart was solemn. The target he was targeting this time was a little too strong, but the sword's mere aura made him fall in love with it.

As a famous swordsman in the world, he has never had his favorite famous sword by his side, which is a huge regret.

Today I came to this waterfall to exercise my mind, and unexpectedly I met someone who would kill someone and seize the sword no matter what. Or if he died under this sword, he would have no regrets in his life.

The old man with a keen eye originally wanted to retreat and slowly circle the target, then look for weaknesses and seal his throat.

But the sound of rolling waves suddenly chilled his ecstatic heart: This is the sea.
The murderous intention was so close that Old Man Xinyan had no time to think about it. Instead of retreating, he advanced and confronted Lu Wei head-on with his exquisite sword moves of disregard.

The foothold the two of them were standing on was narrow, and only the original ice path could allow them to borrow strength. But the difference was that Lu Wei could create a new foothold at any time, while the old man with an eye on the matter always had to worry about the ice path under his feet at any time. Ice roads that may collapse.

Both of them knew this situation well.Around this point, they each made their own plans.

The knights on the waterfall could only see half of the waterfall, and could not see the battle directly below. They only knew that the old man on the rock suddenly rushed towards the waterfall with a sword.
The Swallowing Sea Sword cuts iron like clay. It was easy to cut off the old man's scabbard just now, but now that the latter is on guard, it will be difficult to cut off the old man's sword again.

The strength of this future Duanshui was more than that of the Soul Destroying Soul that Lu Wei met in Zhao State. Even if he was distracted, couldn't move his feet, and deviated from his best plan, he could still make sword moves. He barely managed to deal with the Swallowing Sea Sword.

He is indeed a swordsman who can be awarded the title of "clouds cover the fog, no eyes but no heart". With such strength, he dares to wantonly steal other people's famous swords.

But after all, he is old now. Even if his swordsmanship level does not drop, his overall strength will always decline compared to the peak. Lu Wei still has methods that he has not used yet. He can definitely kill this person!

If this scheming old man hadn't launched a sneak attack on him and coveted his own sea-swallowing sword, he would have really wanted to lure this old man into the farm before he was caught.

But unfortunately, the person in front of me is just a killer after all.
If Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin and others like his own Tun Hai, he would be willing to give away the sword in his hand. If you really care about the size, it would only cost ten thousand gold.

However, the thoughtful old man obviously does not have this qualification!If this person escapes, he will most likely continue to join the trap of his enemies!
Better to die.

After the exchange of sword moves, he turned his body and retreated into the air. The master of the hall pointed the sea-swallowing sword at the waterfall, rolled up a stormy wave, and violently hit the ice road on the sea!
This blow will most likely not hurt the old man, but he will also have no place to stay and become a prey to his own sword.

'Here we come.' Old Man Xinyan raised his sword, protected himself with sword energy, and allowed himself to be hit by the huge artificial waves.
Snap, the ice path that had lost the inner energy of Lu Wei was just an ordinary ice surface. It could not withstand the power of the waterfall, and it shattered and floated cleanly.

The old man himself lost his footing and fell into the sea.

The master of the hall fell slowly, the sword energy on the sword was fierce, and the "Baichuan Guihai" that had defeated Wei Zhuang was stabbed mercilessly towards the point where the old man fell into the sea.

But just as he was about to come into contact with the turbulent sea, a dozen unstoppable sharp fragments shot out from the sea:
The old man with an eye of mind actually took the initiative to break his own swords and used them as hidden weapons. After waiting for Lu Wei to approach, he suddenly exploded.
