Chapter 434: A man who can bend and stretch
The entire underworld trembled after the fierce bombardment. Under such power, how could Zhao Wuyang's small body withstand it?
Fortunately, the howl of the white-headed hound was heard at the right time. Although Shang Lu was still sitting cross-legged and floating in the air, the mechanism stopped at this time.
When the dust and fog cleared, Zhao Wuyang was still standing there intact. Standing in front of him was Zhan Li who was practicing the "Calm Without Waves" technique.
Lingxiang once said that although Zhanli was a demon, he was extremely talented and even Hanyang was better than him, so she never kept anything to herself when imparting her skills.
If Lingxiang's magic shield was used, Shang Lu's attacks would have been broken countless times long ago. However, Zhanli had only been practicing with him for more than two years, but he still managed to withstand it, which shows how talented he is.
Besides, Lingxiang was not familiar with martial arts and only knew the results but not the reasons. Therefore, Zhanli's kung fu was mostly achieved through his own practice, and Lingxiang only provided some methods.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Shang Lu's expression did not change. He flipped his hand seal, and those mechanisms began to dismantle and change again.
Zhan Li narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and recalled what happened when Lingxiang first brought him to the palace.
At that time, Zhan Li had a stubborn look on his face and was not convinced by the young Lingxiang. He also knew nothing, but Lingxiang always forced him to learn and had to fight with him in actual combat.
Having struggled in the market, he had his own way of surviving. But in Lingxiang's hands, he felt like a fool and could never defeat her.
Later, Zhan Li was finally convinced and devoted himself to practicing with Ling Xiang. Only then did Ling Xiang talk to him in a gentle voice.
Later, Adao became Zhanli's sparring partner. At first, he was always defeated by him, but after two months of intensive training, Adao was no longer Zhanli's opponent.
After spending a long time together, Zhan Li became more humble towards Adao, who always emphasized that he was his senior brother. But how could his opponent always be such a little guy?
"If you can't beat him, then just find a way to run away." After hearing Zhanli's doubt, Lingxiang looked indifferent.
"Run?" Zhan Li was very surprised. "As a man, how can you retreat? Isn't that unworthy of being a human being?"
"What's wrong with being a real man? There is nothing a real man cannot overcome?" Lingxiang smiled.
“Everyone in the world believes that a true man is one who is ‘not lewd’, ‘not moved’, and ‘not yielding’, but how many people can truly do these six simple words?”
"Everything has its uncontrollable moments, and it is not shameful to escape. It is just normal, so why should you be ashamed?"
"The mountains remain green, firewood lasts, the winter is long, and the end of the year is near."
"It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. In my opinion, only those who can endure the momentary righteousness and plan for the future can be called 'real men'."
After listening to Lingxiang's words, Zhanli fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, he asked again: "But if the opponent is too strong and there is no escape, how should we deal with it? For example... General Dingyou?"
"Dingyou" is the title given to Shanglu.
"You can't outrun Shanglu?" Lingxiang looked puzzled.
Shanglu looks so bulky, how fast can it run?
"It's not a question of whether I can run or not, it's a question of whether I can run..." Zhan Li said unhappily.
This master's advantage is really...
How should I put it? It's kind of silly...
"Well... that's a problem." Lingxiang pondered for a moment, "Why don't I teach you a new set of skills today? Although it's not my forte, if it were you, I think you would be able to achieve some success."
Zhan Li rolled his eyes to himself: New technique? Don't they only give a rough outline of the new technique each time? Don't you have to figure out the rest on your own? You said you're not good at it, so why can't you teach me something you're good at?
It's really silly...
But what Lingxiang is good at is not something that ordinary people can easily learn.
"Zhanli! Zhanli!" Seeing Zhanli was distracted, Zhao Wuyang called out anxiously.
With a powerful enemy at hand, how can you have time to think about random things?
Zhan Li turned back suddenly: "There is no end to this. If we don't take down Shanglu directly, we will be exhausted and defeated in the end."
"Do you have a good plan?" Zhao Wuyang suddenly felt that Zhan Li was probably thinking of a plan. "I have a plan, but I have never used it before. I don't know if it will work. But now I have no other plans. Let's give it a try. It's better than wasting time like this." Zhan Li hesitated and said, "It's just..."
"Just what?" Seeing Shang Lu's mechanisms being pieced together one by one, Zhao Wuyang's eyes turned red with anxiety.
The situation is urgent, why hesitate? Just use whatever tricks you have!
"I'm not completely sure. If no one delays and helps, I'm afraid it may not succeed."
The marks on Zhao Wuyang's body became increasingly faint, and his face showed signs of fatigue, and it was obvious that he was just holding on.
The sound of the machine has stopped, and in front of them are twelve machine men, all of them are armed with sharp weapons and full of murderous intent.
The twelve men were of different sizes, the largest one was fifty feet long and six feet long, and the smallest one was three feet tall.
But no matter how big or small they are, they are all huge monsters compared to Zhao Wuyang and Zhan Li.
Moreover, these twelve people each stood on one side, like a battle array, which was very majestic.
Zhao Wuyang really didn't understand how such a small mechanism could be used to construct such a large person, and twelve of them at that.
"Be careful, it's the formation of the twelve bronze men of the Earthly Branches." Zhan Li reminded.
Lingxiang often said, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger." It is always a good idea to be prepared, so a long time ago, she asked Zhanli and Adao to secretly gather information from the demon world, which naturally included the details of the various demon generals.
Many years ago, the demons fought with Fengdu. Shang Lu used this move and single-handedly wiped out three thousand underworld soldiers in one fell swoop. After the war, his fame spread throughout the demon world.
Lingxiang recognized the formation at a glance. It was rumored that this formation was given to Emperor Qin Shi Huang in a dream by an immortal to suppress demons and monsters in the world. Unexpectedly, Shang Lu learned it.
Zhao Wuyang didn't seem to take it to heart: "If it's just a delay, my limited help may work."
Zhan Li was surprised, but did not delve into it. He just glanced at Zhao Wuyang and then left.
There is no room for hesitation on the battlefield.
Shang Lu didn't care. In his opinion, these two people were nothing more than ants. He just moved his fingers slightly, and the twelve mechanical men rushed straight towards Zhao Wuyang.
The heavy footsteps shook the ground, but Zhao Wuyang put away his sword, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands together.
What happened three years ago changed everyone. In the past three years, everyone has been seeking something, perhaps an answer, a hope, or a way to break through themselves.
Everyone around you is moving forward, so there is no reason for you to stand still.
Three years ago, Zhao Wuyang was helpless and trapped in a city, but this time, he would never back down.
The only audible sound was the sound of his breathing, and everything around him seemed to become silent as he breathed. A stream of air overflowed from Zhao Wuyang's body, restrained and heavy, blowing the ends of his hair.
Just when the huge mechanical man was seven steps away, Zhao Wuyang suddenly opened his eyes, and the sun, moon, and stars were all in his sight.
A chessboard suddenly spread out under his feet, but there was no vertical or horizontal pattern, only small dots arranged on it. The stars in the sky appeared in response, scattered all over the place, and the mirage was brilliant. Zhao Wuyang was in Tianyuan.
Before Zhenren Qianyuan went into seclusion, he told Zhao Wuyang to practice inner vision more often, to peer into his inner world and observe the great Dao. His purpose was to let him make good use of the power of the ancient sky.
Zhao Wuyang also kept his master's teachings in mind and never slacked off in three years, and only then did he figure out this move.
However, Zhao Wuyang had never actually used this trick, so he had no idea how effective it was.
But the arrow is on the string and has to be shot!
Zhao Wuyang raised his arm high, and then shouted as if he was placing a chess piece, "I will use my body to determine the origin of the universe, and I will use my chess piece to control the universe!"
