Daqian deposed the crown prince, and the emperor begged him to stop rebelling

Chapter 41 This sip of wine is for you!
"call……"

Li Mu let out a long breath and stopped the knife in his hand.

Unconsciously, he had performed the Dugu Nine Swords several times.

His understanding of swordsmanship also seemed to have reached a deeper level!

The surface of the land around him was covered with knife marks.

Like spider silk, crisscrossed and dense!

The grass leaves cut by the sword blade formed a thin layer on the ground!
The sword skills benefits of Dugu Nine Swords come entirely from proficiency.

When the proficiency reaches a certain level, one will have a deeper understanding of swordsmanship.

It’s like a beginner swimmer who always can’t figure out the timing of paddling and breathing and often chokes on water.

After repeated attempts, as I became more proficient in the movements and my swimming proficiency improved, I was able to coordinate my movements and breathing seamlessly.

The same is true for Dugu Nine Swords. As your proficiency and comprehension increase, you will be able to use the sword techniques naturally, just like breathing and movement, without any deliberate effort!
Moreover, Dugu Nine Swords does not have any sword moves at all!
Whether it is the sword-breaking style or the whip-breaking style, each sword style seems to be completely different, but they can all be integrated.

The key lies in the word "live"!

People with high comprehension will naturally be able to break down the barriers between the nine sword techniques, simplify the complex, integrate the nine sword techniques into one, and reach the point where they have a sword in their heart!

The only thing that remains unchanged is that every move of the Nine Sword Techniques is an attack, and not a single one is a rigid defense!
This is exactly what Li Mu wants.

Attack is the best defense!

If two people are fighting, and you only think about defense, no matter how high your skills are, you will only end up in a draw with the opponent!
Only by attacking can all difficulties be resolved!

[Ding! Dugu Nine Swords, proficiency increased by 9! ]

A line of text appeared before my eyes again.

It turns out that every time you practice Dugu Nine Swords and gain new insights, your sword skills will become more proficient!

There is no upper limit to proficiency.

However, at a certain stage, Li Mu was able to naturally master the nine sword techniques.

Even to the point where you can reach a state where you don't have a sword in your hand but have a sword in your heart, and you can kill people by picking leaves and flying flowers!

After realizing this, Li Mu couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

[The host can also add free attribute points to Dugu Jiujian. Each free attribute point can increase proficiency by ten points! ]

Li Mu added all his free attribute points to the proficiency of Dugu Nine Swords without hesitation.

[Ding! Dugu Jiujian gains 750 points of proficiency! ]

As the words appeared before my eyes, a flash of inspiration instantly passed through my mind.

In just a moment, Li Mu's understanding of Dugu Nine Swords seemed to have risen to a new stage!

Sword-breaking style, knife-breaking style, whip-breaking style...

The complicated movements when performing various sword styles seemed to gradually merge into one in his mind.

Simplify the complex and return to basics!
A pure sword intent that seemed to have reached its peak gradually condensed in his chest.

His pair of starry eyes shone as sharp as a sword in the night.

Draw the knife again,

Cut quickly!

laugh……

The blade cut through the air, making an extremely sharp whistle.

The huge space in front of him seemed to be cut into two by an invisible sword energy!
boom!
A huge knife mark suddenly appeared on the open ground more than ten feet away!
The long and narrow crack is several inches wide, about two feet deep, and nearly ten feet long.

The land on both sides of the crack rolled to the side like surging waves.

In the distance, Shen Pingan and others jumped up from the ground in shock.

"This……"

"What kind of swordsmanship is this!"

"It's actually possible to cut through the ground more than ten feet long in mid-air. This sword technique is so sharp!"

"Oh my God, Bai Chang is... so powerful!" Everyone looked at Li Mu, their eyes filled with awe and fear.

Like watching a god!

In the eyes of these death row prisoners, the warriors of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can already be considered strong men.

Main generals like Fang Sheng and others are even more unattainable.

But today, the sword skills displayed by Li Mu made them feel a power that could crush the mortal world.

Is this the power of the peak of martial arts?
Everyone was in awe and fear, but also felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, they have such a strong person, who is their leader!

Perhaps, in this decapitation operation, everyone can return alive because of Bai Chang!

"Bai Chang..."

Shen Pingan hesitated to speak.

Li Mu looked back and smiled faintly:
"It's getting late, time to set off!"

……

Taniguchi,

Xie Lang, the centurion of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, sat on the grass, chewing grass roots with a cold face.

"Have they not started yet?"

A sergeant who had just returned from reconnaissance shook his head and replied:

"No, they were drinking, eating meat, and singing. They didn't seem to have any intention of leaving."

Xie Lang smiled coldly.

What a guy who doesn't know whether to live or die!
Just because he won a battle, he completely forgot about the danger!
This place is only a hundred miles away from the barbarian camp, and the road ahead must be filled with the barbarian soldiers' ambushes and patrolling cavalry.

If they set out during the day, they would be discovered before they even get close to the barbarian camp.

By then, this team of only a few dozen people would surely be surrounded quickly.

Considering the strength of these criminal soldiers, even with the help of Li Mu, a martial arts master, it would be difficult for them to get out!

Forget it, considering that they fought a decent battle in the valley, killed hundreds of barbarians, and even took the head of the barbarian king, those bags of wine can be regarded as guillotine bars for them!

"The songs sung by the deposed prince are still very nice!"

Shi sighed deeply, and then began to sing:

"I look at my sword under the lamp while drunk, and dream of blowing the horn in the camp. I share roasted meat with my subordinates over a distance of 800 miles. Fifty strings play the music of the frontier. Soldiers are called up in the autumn battlefield! The horse is as fast as Lu, and the bow is as loud as thunder. I will complete the king's affairs and win a good reputation in my lifetime and after my death!"

After listening to the lyrics he sang, Xie Lang suddenly trembled slightly.
These lyrics seemed to instantly ignite my blood, turning it into a torrent rushing through my chest!

He slowly stood up and silently looked towards the fire in the depths of the valley.

The gaze in his eyes seemed to be ignited by the distant fire!
Xie Lang took off the wine bag from his waist, raised his hands, and saluted in the direction of the fire.

"Deposed Crown Prince, this sip of wine is for you!"

"Although you are a death row inmate, you are still a man!"

"If there is a chance, I would also like to fight alongside you and win fame in life and after death!"

After saying that, Xie Lang raised the wine bag and took a long drink.

At this moment, a burst of neighing of military horses suddenly came from the distance!
Xie Lang's heart moved, and he quickly walked to a higher place and looked into the valley in the distance.

But under the starlight, a team rushed out of the valley.

Although this team only had a few dozen people, each of them rode two horses, and their speed was amazing.

In the blink of an eye, the team had passed through the valley entrance and was rushing towards the barbarian camp in the distance.

Looking at this agile and determined team, Xie Lang's eyes flickered in the night, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"here we go!"
