Blue Silver Grass Strategy

"Xingzai, I remember that when you asked for leave before, you were in Tianshui City, right?"

While waiting for the restaurant's kitchen to serve the dishes, Gu Yiwang pulled Duan Yunxi and Li Liang, the captain of another team, to the window seat where Nixing was, and said with a smile:

"Last time when I was drinking with Lao Mo and the others, I heard from Li Yang that you had a fight with Yu Min and ended up in the arms of a student from Tianshui College..."

"Is there such a thing?" Duan Yunxi deliberately glared and turned to look at Li Liang beside him: "Old Li, tell me, why can't we encounter such a good thing?"

Li Liang picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Gu Yiwang, Nixing and Duan Yunxi first, and then poured tea for the cup in front of him. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "The city lord said that if you are fragrant, butterflies will come to you. If you are as good as Ah Xing, even if you don't fall into the arms of a girl, why worry that no girl will confess to you?"

"By the way,"

Just when Nixing thought that Li Liang was different from Gu Yiwang and Duan Yunxi and would talk about other things, Li Liang changed the subject and asked him, "Ah Xing, was it you who took the initiative with that girl? Or was it the girl who took the initiative?"

Nixing(ー_ー): “…”

"Hey hey hey——!"

For a moment, the restaurant was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"what?!"

At this moment, Li Liang suddenly exclaimed, raised his hand and pointed to the street outside the window, and asked: "Look, is that person Flanders?"

"Flanders?"

Gu Yiwang and the other two who were sitting at the same table all looked over at the same time, looking at the person Li Liang was talking about.

As a six-ringed Soul Emperor who has been invited many times by Zhao Wuji and others but always hesitates, Flanders is also well-known in the Lingyun City system.

Of course, this reputation is not very good, and it is even somewhat negative.

From the perspective of Gu Yiwang and others, [Lingyun City] sincerely invites you, you can refuse, and everyone can continue to get along the same way. After all, [Lingyun City] is not short of a six-ring Soul Emperor-level combat force.

But what made Gu Yiwang and even most of the members of [Lingyun City] unhappy was that Flanders never refused every time, but always used words like "wait a minute", "let me think about it", "I'll think about it again" to prevaricate and delay.

In everyone's view, Flanders' behavior showed that he didn't want to join Lingyun City, but was worried that if he refused, he would not be able to obtain the original preferential treatment and conveniences in Lingyun City. That's why he kept saying ambiguous words, neither refusing nor joining, and just dragging it on.

"What bad luck!" Gu Yiwang took a sip of tea, turned his head and spat on the ground beside him. He glanced at Flanders who was bargaining with a stall owner on the street with disdain on his face.

Although in terms of strength, Gu Yiwang, who is currently at the fourth-ring Soul Master level and in the late stage of the martial arts realm of Huajin and Duanjingu, and is currently trying to temper his five internal organs, is not yet a match for Flanders, the veteran six-ring Soul Emperor, especially since the other party is also a Agility Attack Combat Soul Emperor, but this does not mean that he will be afraid of the other party.

If a real fight broke out, Gu Yiwang thought to himself that he and Flanders could still fight on equal terms.

Either Flanders relied on his speed and flying advantage to avoid the battle and escape, and both of them were safe and sound. As long as Flanders dared to attack at close range, Gu Yiwang was sure that at the moment he was attacked, he could rely on his own gun intent to take Flanders away with him.

"Forget it~" Nixing took the dishes and wine jug brought by the waiter, poured a glass of wine for Gu Yiwang, and advised: "He has been away from Lingyun City for almost two years. Now he is just a passerby. Why get angry about him?"

"Zi——" Gu Yiwang picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in it in one gulp, curled his lips, and said: "This wine is just average."

After a brief comment, Gu Yiwang turned the wine glass in his hand, nodded, and continued: "Yeah, why should I argue with him? After all, this guy is Zhao Wuji and his gang's affair, it's none of our business..."

"What is this guy doing?" Duan Yunxi belongs to the guard team of the Qingmu Chamber of Commerce. He is often on the road and has never been close to Flanders' affairs, so his senses are relatively weak. Looking at Flanders on the street outside the window, he is still quite curious.

“This guy~” Gu Yiwang glanced at Flanders who was still arguing with the stall owner, and said unhappily: “According to what Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin said, he is extremely stingy and calculating. He is the kind of person who would lick his fingers even if the toilet paper was torn. Isn’t it obvious that he is bargaining——”

Hearing Gu Yiwang's words, Nixing on the side shook his head helplessly.

It is obvious that Gu Yiwang's words still contain some personal emotions, which is somewhat biased.

But it can't be said that Gu Yiwang was wrong. After all, Gu Yiwang was his colleague in Nixing, and Flanders was just an outsider. Not to mention that Flanders was the kind of person who liked to take advantage and didn't want to suffer losses. It wasn't entirely wrong to say that he was stingy and calculating.

"You'll know after listening and watching~"

At this moment, Li Liang suddenly said something, and then the light red soul power on his body flickered slightly, and a gray-black bat martial spirit emerged.

Without manifesting the soul ring, Li Liang directly possessed his "vampire bat" martial soul, and his pair of ears stretched and became pointed.

"Don't use your soul skills~" Gu Yiwang reminded from the side: "After all, he is a six-ring soul emperor, and he is very sensitive to soul skills."

"Don't worry~" Li Liang nodded and smiled confidently.

Immediately afterwards, Li Liang's pair of long pointed ears began to tremble slightly, catching all kinds of sounds from all directions.

"...Boss, the years of your 'Motherwort' and 'Safflower' are uneven. I have to go back and pick them out specifically. It's too troublesome..."

"Well, if you wipe out the remaining three Gintama coins, I'll buy it."

"Take some time? Time is free, right? If this doesn't work, I'll go to the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] to buy it. Although it's a little more expensive there, the quality is much better than yours!"

"No! Two Silver Soul Coins are too few, just three!"...

As Li Liang repeated Flanders' words in a low voice, Gu Yiwang and the other two in the restaurant looked at each other in bewilderment.

It was not until Flanders succeeded in getting the stall owner to agree to reduce the price by three Silver Soul Coins and put away the bags of herbs on the stall and left that Gu Yiwang frowned and asked the same question in the minds of the other three people:

"Why did he buy these herbs? I never heard he could make medicine?"

"Motherwort, safflower, chuanxiong..." Nixing muttered the names of the herbs that Flanders had just bought. He had some vague guesses in his mind, but when he thought about it carefully, he found nothing.

"What's wrong with these herbs?" Duan Yunxi asked curiously as he watched Nixing muttering to himself.

"Nothing~" Nixing shook his head and said, "I have heard Liu Hao recite the names of these herbs before. They all seem to have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis..."

"It's probably him, or someone else who got hurt~" Gu Yiwang suddenly guessed with some gloating: "You don't want to spend money to buy the "Quyu Powder" and want to make the medicine yourself to save money--"

Today, the three herbal formulas of "Jiedu San", "Jinchuang Yao" and "Quyu San" are known to everyone.

But normally, only people who specialize in medicine preparation can maximize the efficacy of these three drugs.

If ordinary people prepare the medicine themselves, although there will be no toxic side effects under the guidance of detailed formulas, there will still be significant differences in the strength of the medicine.

"Okay, forget about him~" Gu Yiwang grabbed the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, and said indifferently: "Xingzai is right, he is just a passerby now."

"Let's eat first. After dinner, Yunxi, you and Little Li will go back to look after the goods in the Chamber of Commerce. Xingzai and I will go to the Wuhun Temple in the city to take a look. In the past period of time, soul masters and warriors in the [Heaven Dou Empire] have frequently disappeared. It is estimated that some fallen soul master or prohibited warrior has appeared. I wonder if the [Wuhun Temple] has any clues..."

……

On the other side, in front of a private house somewhere in the west of Sigma City.

Flanders looked around at first, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he went up and knocked on the door.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door was opened from the inside, revealing Shi Nian's smiling face. Flanders ignored Shi Nian and squeezed into the yard sideways.

Shi Nian remained calm and unconcerned about Flanders' rudeness. He first looked outside and then quickly closed the wooden door again.

Inside the main house, Yu Xiaogang stood in front of an elevated wooden bed, holding a sharp scalpel in his hand, cutting on a male body.

Stepping on the "Blue Silver Grass" in the yard, Flanders walked into the house. When he saw this scene, a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

Although the man lying on the bed was a well-known rogue in "Sigma City", the kind who did everything except good things, but at this moment he was like an animal to be slaughtered, which made Flanders feel a sense of sadness.

The sun was shining outside, and the "Blue Silver Grass" in the yard was full of vitality, but the house was a bloody and dark scene, which filled Flanders' heart with a strong sense of contradiction and disharmony.

However, every time he had the thought of leaving, a strange mental fluctuation would arise in his heart, his eyes would become confused, and the thought of leaving would be dispelled.

In a direction that Flanders couldn't see, Yu Xiaogang lowered his head and carefully observed the gangster's opened chest, with a strange gleam in his red eyes.

……

At about the same time, in the Qingyun Mountains thousands of miles away.

“Clang! Clang! Clang——!!!”

The sound of metal clashing was endless, echoing over an unknown valley.

Chen Jianjun, Gu Rong and Dugu Bo stood on a cliff on one side of the valley, silently watching the fierce battle in the valley with swords and horses.

Looking at Ling Yi, who was standing on a huge rock with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, looking unrestrained and at ease, and then looking at Chen Xin, who was trapped in the battle formation, being besieged by eight hundred elite soldiers in armor and weapons, charging left and right but still unable to escape from the battle formation, Chen Jianjun and the other two fell silent at this moment.

"Tiger Wing Formation... Flying Bird Formation... Cloud Hanging Formation... Sky Covering Formation... Earth Carrying Formation... Flying Dragon Formation... Wind Rising Formation... Coiling Snake Formation..."

In his previous life, Ling Yi had memorized the battle formations from movies, TV dramas, novels, and animations, and even from the military books and strategies that he had accidentally read. He had deduced them one by one by combining the soul guide formations on the Douluo Continent with the laws of heaven and earth. Now, through discussions with Chen Xin, he was revising and improving them bit by bit.

Although there were only 800 soldiers, under the effect of the formation, Chen Xin had the illusion that he was surrounded by thousands of troops.

In addition, it is clear that the strength of each grass-roots soldier is not that strong, at most equivalent to a soul master at the Soul King level, or a martial artist who has tempered the five internal organs, but the power of these grass-roots soldiers can be superimposed!

One or two are nothing, ten or eight can still be dealt with, but once thirty or fifty of them come together, the combined power and momentum will be so great that even Chen Xin, who is at the Titled Douluo level, has to avoid them.

He thought he could defeat them one by one, but what Chen Xin didn't expect was that these grass-roots soldiers who looked stiff and dull, actually cooperated very well, as if they had telepathic connection, and they were always able to complement each other just right, making his attacks fail again and again.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Dugu Bo looked at the rather embarrassed Chen Xin, smacked his lips, suppressed the gloating in his heart, and whispered to Gu Rong beside him: "Old Bone, if it were you, you wouldn't do this, right?"

In Dugu Bo's impression, Gu Rong's martial soul and soul skills have spatial attributes, so he should not be entangled by the battle formation of those soldiers like Chen Xin.

However, Gu Rong gave an answer that surprised Dugu Bo.

"It's hard to say~" Gu Rong followed Chen Xin's movements in the battle formation closely, and said solemnly: "The battle formation method is not as simple as it looks. I sensed the fluctuation of space!"

"It's not so easy to break through the battle formation through space transfer and implement the plan of capturing the leader first on Ayi!" Chen Jianjun suddenly said.

"So," Dugu Bo heard this, looked at Ling Yi who was standing in the valley facing the wind, outside the battlefield, and asked, "If you want to defeat Ayi, you must first defeat these grass-roots soldiers, then you can do it?"

Chapter 542 Do whatever you want

"How's it going? Did you find that guy?"

In an alley in the west of 'Sigma City', Gu Yiwang frowned and looked at Li Liang, who was already possessed by a martial spirit, and asked in a deep voice.

Li Liang was opening his mouth full of sharp teeth at this time, and low-frequency infrasound waves spread in all directions, bringing back all the scenes of every brick, tile, grass and tree within a radius of hundreds of meters, appearing in his mind.

After a while, Li Liang shook his head with a somewhat unhappy look: "Not here."

"Let's go and check out the next marked point!" Gu Yiwang didn't say much and took the lead to walk out of the alley.

Li Liang frowned, feeling something was wrong, but he had not received any feedback from repeated searches. It was obvious that the target was not in this area.

Shaking his head, Li Liang looked around, and finally stood up and chased after Gu Yiwang in front of him.

A quarter of an hour later, two figures suddenly appeared in the deserted alley.

But it was Gu Yiwang and Li Liang!

Li Liang once again used his 'first soul skill - sound wave detection'. After a while, he shook his head again at Gu Yiwang's inquiring gaze.

Obviously, after a sudden counterattack, nothing was found. The target may not really be nearby.

The two men left again, and the alley became quiet again.

In a house more than 70 meters away from the alley, Shi Nian was pale and leaning weakly on a wooden chair. The clothes on the right chest were stained with blood, and he was breathing softly.

Sitting on another wooden chair nearby, Yu Xiaogang looked unhappy, with a faint red light emanating from his body, covering himself, Shi Nian, and Flanders beside him.

It was also because of the existence of this red light curtain that the figures of the three people were not detected by Li Liang's soul skills, and the smell of blood on Shi Nian's body did not spread out.

Sensing the departure of Gu Yiwang and Li Liang, Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Nian with cold eyes: "He is a Soul Sect that just broke through to the fourth ring, and you, a Sixth Ring Soul Emperor, not only failed to take him down, but you even got injured and fled? And you led people here?"

If there were not so few people around him, Yu Xiaogang would have wanted to tear this useless guy in front of him, who was more likely to cause trouble than to do anything, into pieces!

Feeling the undisguised murderous intent and malice from Yu Xiaogang, Shi Nian's face looked very unhappy, but whether it was the gap in martial arts value or the need for Yu Xiaogang to treat and protect him in the future, he had to choose to bow his head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the kid named Nixing has reached the level of a martial artist who can temper the five internal organs at such a young age, and also possesses the artistic conception of 'Remnant Dream Realm' that can specifically restrain my..."

Enduring the stinging pain from the residual energy in his chest and the weakness from the blood loss in his body, Shi Nian explained in a very humble tone.

With his head lowered, Shi Nian's eyes looking at the ground did not even dare to reveal any resentment or sinisterness.

As a spiritual soul master, Shi Nian was very clear that beneath Yu Xiaogang's apparent strong offensive attributes, he secretly hid extremely powerful spiritual methods.

Once he reveals his negative emotions, the other party will notice it immediately.

Even in his prime, he was no match for Yu Xiaogang, not to mention that he was seriously injured at this moment. If Yu Xiaogang developed a dislike for him, he would surely die.

Another thing, while explaining to Yu Xiaogang, Shi Nian couldn't help but think of the young man holding the bronze spear. When he thought of the spear tip full of iron-blooded murderous aura, as well as the spear's will to sacrifice his own life, he couldn't help but feel frightened.

For the first time, someone was able to forcibly break through his "broken dream world" even though his mental strength was inferior to his. Not only did he suffer mental backlash, but he was also stabbed and had to flee in embarrassment.

"Nixing~" Upon hearing this familiar name, the coldness on Yu Xiaogang's face eased a little, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

He recalled the time when he was in the Wuhun Research Institute in Lingyun City, and attended classes with Nixing, Liu Hao, Shang Wenqing and others.

Compared to people like Er Yuexuan who often have contempt in their eyes, Ni Xing and Liu Hao, who were both orphans, are the few people who have calm expressions and tones when communicating with him.

Of course, Yu Xiaogang didn't have much friendship with Nixing and Liu Hao, and their relationship couldn't be said to be very good. But compared to that bastard Er Yuexuan, these two were the few people in Lingyun City that Yu Xiaogang didn't have any bad feelings towards.

“Alright~” Yu Xiaogang suppressed the strange emotion that just emerged in his heart, raised his hand to take out a wooden box from the storage bracelet and put it on the table, and glanced coldly at Shi Nian who was in a declining state: “This is medicine for healing. You recuperate here first. Flanders and I will go to the next city first. When you recover from your injury, I will leave a secret mark for you, and you can come find it yourself when the time comes!”

“Remember!” Yu Xiaogang stood up, looked down at the pale-faced Shi Nian, and warned him with a sense of oppression: “Don’t provoke the people from Lingyun City!”

"Once you are involved with them, you'd better choose to fend for yourself. Lingyun City has more methods than you can imagine!"

"If we are exposed because of you, believe me, unless you hide in Lingyun City or Wuhun City, you will be dead in this world, I say!"
