I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33: Wear the thickest armor and endure the most severe blow

Working in the backyard of Zhonglang's residence, although it was daytime, a scene of a summer night with many stars appeared before my eyes, and then the dawn light suddenly appeared.

The black and white chess pieces turned into meteors, shooting out like lightning. The bright starlight gathered into bright and dazzling sword lights, instantly launching a dense attack like raindrops.

Jian Shuo was trapped in the sword formation and was overwhelmed. He became increasingly agitated and shouted angrily, "Do you think I don't have a sword move that combines the formation diagram with swordsmanship? Watch me break this incomplete formation of yours!"

After shouting angrily in a deep voice, Jian Shuo held the Juque in his hand, and the sword energy rose up into the clouds, transforming into a golden roc in mid-air, with its wings spread majestically, as if covering the sky and the sun, and its feathers covering the world.

In an instant, the sword energy turned into straight and sharp long feathers, layer upon layer, densely packed.
Its aura is like a lush forest.

Its power is to defend the country's borders.

"What a great service to the country, like the flourishing forest."

In the pavilion, Guo Jia still sat quietly, twirling two chess pieces between his fingers, one black and one white.

As the light and color flowed, the two chess pieces immediately transformed into the most primitive Tai Chi diagram, and Guo Jia once again put his fingers together to form a sword and pointed at Jian Shuo from a distance: "It is really surprising that a mere eunuch can practice the Yulin Duankong Sword to the great perfection realm. It seems that you are really loyal to Liu Hong."

"What can I do... The Han Dynasty has run out of luck. This is destiny. How can you, alone, stop this torrent of humanity?"

Tick~
The black and white pieces fell onto the board one after another, and immediately two invisible sword energies rose up.

The sword energy was one black and one white, one yin and one yang, intertwined with each other. Finally, the white chess piece reached its yang extreme and gave birth to yin, sinking into the black chess piece and merging with it, turning into an innate evil energy that was extremely yin and soft.

This evil sword pierced straight into Jian Shuo's body!

The gilded tiger-patterned armor was blessed with an official aura, and was difficult to be damaged by swords and knives, and was immune to water and fire. However, the innate evil spirit was extremely yin and soft, and could not be seen in any form. It was like a gurgling stream, penetrating every hole. In a flash, it had penetrated the armor's defenses and began to erode Jian Shuo's vitality.

Jian Shuo was shocked to find that his vitality was slowly draining away. He said in disbelief, "The Starry Divine Canon? The Mysterious Yin Shaqi Chapter! Impossible! This technique was clearly burned down along with the Afang Palace and destroyed by Xiang Yu. It should have been lost long ago!"

The three auras of the star gods in "The Star Divine Canon" are the magical skills that protected the country of the ancient Qin Dynasty.

It was rumored that this skill had been lost long ago, but no one expected that one of the three skills, "Xuanyin Shaqi Pian", would reappear in the hands of Guo Jia.

The evil energy is invisible and intangible, and is the most evil and foul. Because it is very soft, it is difficult to guard against. Once it enters the human body, it will immediately erode vitality and even destroy the soul.

Jian Shuo was hit by a strange sword move, and his vitality was draining away at an accelerated rate, which made him both frightened and angry. He immediately abandoned Wang Jing, turned around and swung his sword at Guo Jia angrily: "You secretly learned the forbidden techniques of the previous dynasty, and yet you still talk nonsense about destiny. You are a traitor and a traitor. You cannot be spared!"

Although he was at the end of his rope, Jian Shuo still had some courage left.

Relying on the indestructible armor, he ignored the attack from behind and decided to kill Guo Jia, who posed the greatest threat to him.

In the small pavilion, Guo Jia, dressed in cloth and unarmed, was facing the surging sword energy of Juque, and was really in a precarious situation.

"Fengxiao, be careful!"

Seeing that the situation was extremely critical, Wang Jing no longer held back.

A hundred battles with the sword!
The fourth move is also the final killer move!
The sword-unleashing style is unique. How many men have ever returned from the battles throughout history?
With a deep and loud roar, the tendons and bones in Wang Jing's body made crackling sounds, like the thundering sounds of a tiger or leopard, indicating that he had completely freed himself from the restrictions!

In the blink of an eye, Wang Jing seemed to have broken free from his shackles, and his strength and speed were greatly improved.

Since this move is named "Jue", it is naturally a desperate move that will be used only when one is in a desperate situation, a fatal move!

At this moment, Wang Jing had no time to think carefully. In order to save Guo Jia, he subconsciously put all his strength into it and swung his sword towards Jian Shuo's back regardless of anything.

Wang Jing had already used all his strength to break free from the restraints of the fatal sword, and he also had the power boost from the Lion Barbarian Treasure Belt.

Therefore, the sword that was swung out stirred up wind and thunder, and shook thousands of mountains!

"Stop it, me!"

Dang~
The blade was only a foot long, but the blade's power weighed more than ten thousand pounds. It was more like an overwhelming force that hit Jian Shuo's back directly rather than a cut.

The collision between the Seven-Star Sword and the gilded armor sounded like a huge bell.

In an instant, Jian Shuo was knocked to the ground by the powerful force, causing the stone slabs on the ground to crack and his entire body to be buried in the soil, looking very miserable.

However, he quickly got up, shook off the dust on his body, the golden light all over his body was still dazzling, and he himself was unharmed.

On the contrary, Wang Jing, who had just swung the sword, had overdrawn a lot of physical strength at this moment. His blood circulation was temporarily blocked. After landing, he had to take a few deep breaths, but he still gritted his teeth and stood in front of Guo Jia.

Seeing that Jian Shuo was fine except for a few scratches on his armor, Wang Jing couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Damn, what kind of turtle shell is this that can be so hard? Could it be that this damn eunuch is practicing Cao Zhengchun's Tongzi Gong?"

Jian Shuo pulled up the Juque Sword from the ground, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent and his expression ferocious: "You are not strong enough to break my Golden Armor Yuan Gong. Just die under my sword obediently, or you will suffer more!"

Juque suddenly slashed across, and Guo Jia jumped up, as light as a feather, and landed on the surface of the lotus pond behind him.

He lightly touched the emerald green lotus leaves with his toes and immediately displayed the Confucian magical power of Flying Phoenix Stepping on Snow.

At this moment, he can truly be described as being as light as a flying wild goose, leaving no trace on the snow.

In a flash, Guo Jia once again distanced himself from Jian Shuo.

At the same time, he coordinated his ten fingers and casually pointed out, using the Yi Tian Sword Technique again, using the chess pieces as swords and adjusting the formation, determined to trap and kill the enemy in front of him.

Wang Jing rolled over like a donkey, which was not very elegant but very effective in avoiding the sword attack from Juque and avoiding being cut in half.

Seeing Guo Jia's cool and handsome Qinggong, Wang Jing suddenly felt envious and jealous: "Fengxiao, why are your movements so cool?"

Guo Jia sneered: "The Confucian masters have always been so elegant and handsome. Yuan Xu, you must not have studied hard enough and not seriously enough!"

"Nonsense! I can recite the Six Classics by heart!"

As he spoke, Wang Jing dodged Jian Shuo's sword attack again.

The two of them asked and answered each other, joked, and talked and laughed freely, as if they didn't take Jian Shuo seriously at all.

"How dare you bully me like this, young man!"

Jian Shuo felt that he was being looked down upon, and the rage in his chest rose again, difficult to suppress. He suddenly kicked his legs, flew up into the air, raised the famous sword Juque in his hand, and slashed at Guo Jia with a sword that could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split.

The sword's power is majestic and vast, with layers of sword energy transforming into a pair of huge wings, which fully captures the true meaning of "a country's wings are as flourishing as a forest".

It is the peerless sword technique that ranks first in the martial arts list and is only circulated among the imperial guards, the Yulin Broken Sky Sword!

Yu Lin cuts off the sky!

The tiger soldiers break the formation!

These two skills are known as the best of both swords and knives. They are both martial arts, as well as battle formations and tactics. It's a pity that Jian Shuo is alone at the moment, without any soldiers to cooperate with him. He cannot draw on the strength of the crowd, and cannot fully unleash the true power of the Yulin Duankong Sword.

However, Jian Shuo's Golden Armor Yuan Gong was extremely advanced. Although he was a eunuch, he relied on drugs to practice this military bone-strengthening method to the fourth level and entered the realm of perfection!

He breathed in and out the innate Gengjin Qi, refined it into his bone marrow, and forged it into the Xuanyang Golden Bones that even the sons of generals dreamed of.

When the martial bones are fully developed, the energy of Gengjin will linger around the body, which will not only make the person extremely strong, but also protect the whole body, making the practitioner invulnerable to swords and guns.

Over the years, Jian Shuo practiced diligently every day, and finally completely replaced his own blood with Xuan Yang essence blood, which contained a trace of "gold" in his blood, thus condensing his Qi into Gang, forming an indestructible protective Gang Qi outside his body, making him seem to have bronze skin and iron bones.

Coupled with the gilded tiger-patterned armor and the imperial aura on his body, Jian Shuo was essentially putting on several layers of tortoise shells, which could be said to be the thickest armor.

His attack power may not be that strong, but his ability to save his life is definitely first-rate!

But no matter how thick the armor is, it will still be lost if it is defended for a long time.

Jian Shuo was in a desperate situation at this moment, and he was at a loss as to what to do and became increasingly frantic and panicked. Guo Jia and Wang Jing did not fight Jian Shuo head-on, but instead used the Yi Tian Sword Formation to contain his body, and then fought him from the outside.

Hey~
Dang~
The sword energy and the knife light attacked together, one in front and one behind, sometimes left and sometimes right. Guo Jia and Wang Jing cooperated well and beat Jian Shuo so hard that he could not focus on both sides.

"How hateful! You have received the emperor's grace, but have no intention of repaying him. Instead, you have committed treason and disobeyed the emperor's orders. You truly deserve to be put to death!"

Jian Shuo's strength was exhausted and his vitality was slipping away. Although there were no scars on his body, he was already in a desperate situation with no chance of survival.

At this time, Guo Jia and Wang Jing were like two shrewd hunters.

Even when facing prey that has fallen into a trap, they will never be careless. Instead, they will slowly and methodically tighten the rope, strangling the prey's throat, waiting for the prey to suffocate to death.

Half an hour later, Jian Shuo, with his tortoise shell, was worn to death by Guo Jia and Wang Jing.
The majestic body could no longer stand, its soul shattered, and it collapsed to the ground without support.

When Jian Shuo was dying, he still stretched out his left hand and pressed it on his abdomen, because under the thick armor was the last will and edict given to him by Emperor Ling Liu Hong before his death.

"Your Majesty... your will... I have tried my best... but the heavens have not given me the will, what can I do..."

Dang rang~
The five fingers of the hand that was tightly grasping Juque finally loosened, and the heavy sword rolled to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"This world is so ironic, the notorious Ten Eunuchs are actually loyal ministers?"

After Wang Jing stepped forward and confirmed that Jian Shuo was dead, he was also deeply moved. However, he did not have any sympathy for the Ten Attendants. After all, one should not sit on the wrong side of the throne.

The Ten Eunuchs were only loyal to the emperor, not to the aristocratic families, nor to the people.

If the aristocratic families are not human beings, how can the Ten Eunuchs ever be human beings?

Among those who were persecuted to death by the Ten Eunuchs, there were not only people from aristocratic families, but also many innocent people who suffered equally.

Guo Jia looked at Jian Shuo's corpse and smiled contemptuously: "What good is such a loyal minister to the country? The noble families and the emperor, the relatives and the eunuchs, they fight for power and profit with each other, they are high above, how can they care about the lives of the people below?"

Guo Jia came from a poor family, so he naturally knew the sufferings of the people.

Therefore, he was very disapproving of the so-called loyal ministers in the court, and felt that most of them were just seeking fame and reputation.

And in fact, it is indeed the case.

Wang Jing was also not a sentimental person. After expressing his feelings for a few moments, he called Wang Ling and the servants in the mansion in a pragmatic manner and asked them to take off Jian Shuo's gilded tiger-patterned armor.

At the same time, Wang Jing also bent down and picked up the Juque sword on the ground. The oval hilt was wrapped with several layers of hemp rope in the same way as the dragon wrapped around a pillar, which made it very suitable for grasping.

The sword is quite heavy, not just because of its weight, but this heaviness also affects the mind.

That feeling was as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing down on his heart, so heavy that Wang Jing's breathing even became heavier without him noticing.

Fortunately, Wang Jing had already created his incarnation at this time, and was tempering his physique every moment. With thousands of pounds of divine power, he could still swing the giant sword.

He just grabbed the famous sword Juque and started practicing the "Shenyu Sword Sutra" on the spot.

In the yard, the giant sword danced and cut through the air, creating a fierce and piercing whistling sound at first, but as the sword intent and sword force continued to rise.

The sound became smaller and smaller, and lighter and lighter, until you could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, every sword light that Wang Jing slashed out began to undergo incredible changes, and there was a dizzying feeling as it flowed.

Guo Jia could not help but exclaim in admiration after seeing it: "The Divine Feather Sword Scripture is indeed worthy of the name 'Divine Sword'. The sword light is cold and domineering, yet it is extremely refined and pure. It can cut off all emotions, and cut off all sounds and traces. It controls the spirit with the air, and the air with the sword. It is spiritual and can communicate with the gods. It can be mysterious and wonderful. It flies here and there without a trace, and it can make clouds and rain like a tiger or a dragon. It is unpredictable and endless, and it is breathtaking."

Then he talked about the old days when the Chu-Han contention was in existence: "In the past, the Overlord held Tai'a in his hand, and wherever the sword pointed, he could kill immortals, slay demons, and destroy armies and generals with ease. Yuan Xu was able to inherit the Overlord's legacy, so he must have been a brave man with an indomitable faith in his heart."

"Uh...if you say so, then so be it."

Wang Jing put down the Juque Sword, not knowing how to explain it.

He really didn't know that it was the Overlord's inheritance at first. The reason why he cheated and walked across the Nine-foot Chasm was just to show off in front of others and to see if he could increase his fame and attract talents to invest.

Well, although by chance in the end he was able to intercept the still down-and-out Xu Shu, and also got to know Guo Jia and Shi A.

But if it could happen again, Wang Jing would definitely turn around and leave.

Even the Sword Saint and the Sword Lord cannot afford to offend a god like Jiufeng. With his small body, he would be killed instantly without leaving any trace if he faced one.

It's just that Jiufeng didn't kill him and grind him to ashes in the end. Although Wang Jing was relieved, he was still worried.

A moment later, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao followed in pursuit.

Wang Yun and Wang Gai, who were going to the court meeting, also hurried back at this moment.

When everyone saw the mess in the backyard and Jian Shuo's body that was almost stripped naked, they could not help but look at each other.

Wang Yun looked at Wang Jing with a stern face: "Yuan Xu, what happened?"

Wang Jing pretended to be innocent and said, "Jian Shuo suddenly barged in. He and Jing had a conflict over a disagreement. After a hard fight, he was finally killed on the spot."

"Haha, great! That's great!"

Wang Yun stroked his beard and smiled when he heard this. Jian Shuo held military power and was the backbone of the Ten Attendants. To some extent, he was even more important than Zhang Rang.

Now that Jian Shuo is dead, the control of the Ten Eunuchs over the Imperial Guards will be greatly weakened, and they have completely lost the ability to fight back.

It can be said that although Zhang Rang and others are still alive, they are actually a group of dead people.

Yuan Shu, holding the broken sword, was indignant. He stood behind Yuan Shao and whispered, "Benchu, quickly ask for the Juque Sword! We have worked so hard for so long, how can we make things easier for others?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu in silence, lamenting in his heart how his younger brother was so short-sighted. If a master with no identity or background had killed Jian Shuo, he could still force him.

But how could the Wang family of Taiyuan be easy to get along with?

Didn’t you see Wang Yun standing in front of Wang Jing?

If you have put everything into other people's mouths, can others spit it out for you?

What beautiful things are you thinking about?
Yuan Shao, who was always generous in his actions, not only did not question the whereabouts of the gilded tiger-patterned armor and the famous sword Juque, but he happily stepped forward to congratulate Wang Yun: "Yuan Xu is just a young man, and he killed Jian Shuo for the general, eliminating a great threat to us. Shao will report this matter to the general and reward him according to his merits."

"General Yuan, you are too polite. You and I are both officials in the same court. I am also a military officer. It is my duty to share the country's worries. How dare I talk about my merits?"

"Wang Zhonglang is too modest. The general has always been fair in rewarding and punishing. As the saying goes, those who have made contributions should be rewarded. Your son has made great contributions this time. If we do not reward him generously, who will be willing to work hard for the country in the future?"

Then Yuan Shao dragged the reluctant Yuan Shu away. He wanted to rush back to inform He Jin of the news of Jian Shuo's death, and at the same time he had to hurry to plan the next strategy.

Compared to a famous sword, it is obvious that Yuan Shao cares more about whether the great cause of the Yuan family of Runan can be accomplished. From this point of view, it can be seen that his vision is much higher than that of Yuan Shu.

In the following days, within just two days, He Jin took advantage of Jian Shuo's death and took into his possession all the imperial guards originally under Jian Shuo's command, thereby gaining command of the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan.

As a result, Wang Yun and his son Wang Jing were rewarded by He Jin for their merits.

Wang Yun made a rapid leap from being a secretary to the general's office with a rank of six hundred stones to being directly promoted to the high position of Henan Yin with a rank of two thousand stones. He once again entered the center of power in the imperial dynasty. The aura of a Yanhan official was almost pure red, and his official career was booming.

As for Wang Jing, he also gained a lot of benefits.

He was promoted from the original cavalry captain to the cavalry colonel. Although both were at the level of two thousand stones, the rank of colonel was still higher than that of cavalry captain. And above that, there were high-ranking generals of the Yanhan Dynasty such as the Zhonglang Jiang.

Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, were only Zhonglang Jiang.
