Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism
Page 135
“Brother Tian Guang, I’m sorry that I failed to convince you to help Chu.” Yan Dan apologized and seemed a little embarrassed. “I didn’t expect that after not seeing you for a while, your thoughts would change so much.”
“It’s okay.” Tian Guang waved his hand, indicating that he shouldn’t mind it, because his real purpose was not to let Yan Dan persuade the Six-Fingered Black Knight, but to use him to get rid of the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
As for why the Six-Fingered Black Knight had changed so much, he naturally knew it was because of Su Xuan.
Thinking of this name, he felt complicated inside and finally sighed softly.
Looking at the empty wine in Six-Fingered Black Knight’s cup, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, thinking that Six-Fingered Black Knight was already trapped in a jar tonight, unable to escape even if he had wings.
He mixed a colorless and odorless poison into the wine, which would make the man lose all his internal strength in a short while. Against a master like the leader of the Mohist school, the effect of the poison could only last for a few hours, but it was enough to kill him!
Yan Dan was totally unaware of this, and even the wine he drank also contained poison. Tian Guang would naturally not expose this flaw, so he brought out another pot of wine mixed with antidote, so that the sighing Yan Dan could drink to relieve his sorrow.
The six-fingered black knight was walking hurriedly in the night. When he passed a grove of trees, a poisoned arrow suddenly shot towards him.
“Who are you!” he shouted angrily and took out his black sword to block.
But this was only the first part of the killing move. Following closely was a broad giant sword that smashed towards him with a whistling sound.
The six-fingered black hero’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the black sword in his hand quickly changed into a shield, blocking all of his attacks. However, the huge impact force still forced him to take several steps back.
Behind him, a man holding a rapier stabbed at the heart of the Six-Fingered Black Knight with fierce moves.
In other words, the Six-Fingered Black Knight had profound internal strength, and he noticed it in advance and narrowly avoided the attack.
“Try my Tiger Soul Sword Technique!” Tian Hu, who was hiding among the branches of the trees, jumped down. The power of his sword was like a tiger descending from the mountain. The key word was “reckless!”
The Six-Fingered Black Knight took Tian Hu’s attack head-on. Although he was responding passively from bottom to top, he was able to force the enemy back directly with the help of his profound internal skills.
“Spring Cold Broken Palm!” Tian Yuan, the current head of Gonggong Hall, seized the opportunity, used his signature kung fu, and struck towards the chest of the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight mobilized his internal energy and was preparing to launch a strong counterattack, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened inside his body. His expression changed drastically, and he fell into a disadvantage after the impact of his two palms, and retreated several steps.
“The leader of the Mohist school is indeed extraordinary.” Zhu Jia, who had been hiding in the dark, came out with a look of emotion.
“You idiot, who told you to shout and expose your identity!” Tian Meng punched Tian Hu on the head and shouted angrily.
“Brother, he can’t escape, what is there to worry about?” Tian Hu touched his aching head and didn’t care.
“The head of the Sixth Hall of the Nong Family.” The Six-Fingered Black Knight looked at their positions, which were exactly the positions of the Nong Family’s twenty-four formations in Di Ze. The sudden attack also showed that they were well prepared.
“The Mohist family has no grudges against the Nong family, and I have not offended anyone from the Nong family. Why did you attack me?” he asked, puzzled.
“We are just helping His Highness Yan Dan to get rid of you! Who asked you to block his way?” Zhu Jia sneered, murdering his heart.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight felt a chill in his heart. The poison in the wine was the best proof that Yan Dan was in collusion with the farmers.
He felt that the internal energy in his body was constantly dissipating. In less than half an incense stick of time, all the internal energy would be gone.
But now the situation is one against six, even if he has six fingers, he is afraid that he will be powerless to save the situation!
“Why waste so much time talking to him? Just kill him!” Tian Hu shouted loudly, looking dissatisfied. After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Sheng and reminded him, “Remember to be careful when you take action. Don’t damage this place too obviously. After killing him, we have to disguise the scene and put the blame on Sword Saint Gai Nie.”
“Then let the Mohist disciples and the Qin State fight to the death, hahaha…”
Six-Fingered Black Knight’s pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this.
What a vicious mind! Qin is so powerful, how can his Mohist School survive against Qin? This is not only to kill him, but also to get rid of Mohist School!
The six-fingered black knight tightly grasped Mo Mei in his hand, with murderous intent surging in his heart. Even if he died today, he would take several people with him to be buried with him!
“It’s really satisfying to fight with such a master! Let me take the lead!” Tian Hu took the initiative to ask for a fight and was the first to attack the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
“As fierce as the tiger!” He used the Tiger Soul Sword Technique, and the sharp sword technique pierced the vital points of the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
The others attacked one after another at the same time as Tian Hu attacked.
However, what no one expected was that in the face of Tian Hu’s swordsmanship, the Six-Fingered Black Knight did not retreat or evade, but instead struck first. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he decided to attack Tian Hu first.
He ignored the attack from the other man, exchanged his own life for another, and swept his sword towards Tian Hu’s neck.
Tian Hu was terrified and dodged hurriedly. Just when he was rejoicing that he had avoided the attack, a sliding hook suddenly extended from his dark eyebrows and hooked out his right eyeball.
“Ah! My eyes!” Tian Hu let out a howl and instantly turned into a one-eyed dragon.
“Ah Hu!” Tian Meng’s eyes were bloodshot and murderous intent was in his eyes. He no longer held back and directly used his strongest skills, intending to cut the Six-Fingered Black Knight into pieces.
“I’m going to kill you!” Feeling the blindness in his right eye and the blood gushing out, Tian Hu was furious. He ignored his injuries and took the initiative to attack, wanting to avenge the loss of his eye.
Chen Sheng, Wu Kuang and others were also horrified. Who could have thought that such an unexpected thing would happen when they were fully confident? They dared not underestimate the enemy any more and all of them were alert and focused on fighting the enemy.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight was not in good condition. While he was injuring Tian Hu, he was also slashed on the back by Wu Kuang. Although the wound was not deep, it was extremely fatal in this siege situation.
Under the siege of several people and the suppression of the twenty-four formations of Di Ze, the Six-Fingered Black Knight was injured one after another, and his original black robe was stained with blood at this moment. As time passed, his injuries became more serious. Feeling the little internal strength left, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, who knew that there was no hope of escape, decided to make a final desperate fight.
He deliberately pretended to be shaky and unable to resist.
“I’m going to chop you into pieces today!” Tian Hu was furious. “Kill him quickly! I can’t stand it anymore!”
Tian Hu, who had just suffered a loss, learned his lesson and only made verbal threats, leaving the charge to the other five people.
Chen Sheng, Wu Kuang and his party saw that Tian Hu was seriously injured and did not say much. They attacked one after another. The six-fingered black knight deliberately exposed his flaws, and had several more wounds on his body, with blood all over the ground. Just when Tian Yuan was about to kill him, the six-fingered black knight grinned and said, “If you want to kill me, then be buried with me!”
He did not dodge or evade, but took the initiative to meet the sword, allowing the sword to pierce through his body. At the same time, he grabbed Tian Yuan’s arm with one hand and swung his black eyebrow towards his neck.
“die!”
A head still with a look of fear rolled down, and the trapped Six-Fingered Black Knight seized the only chance in the entire battle and killed one of them with his sword.
At this moment, he felt extremely happy in his heart, and all the ideas of universal love and non-aggression and Mohism were thrown out of his mind.
When it comes to life and death, how can there be so many reasons to talk about?
There are only two outcomes: either you fight your way out with the sword in your hand, or you die here.
“Come again!”
He glanced at the people in front of him with a frown and cold eyes.
“It’s just the last gasp of a dying force. Let’s attack together!” Tian Meng sneered.
Several people attacked one after another, and the seriously injured Six-Fingered Black Knight was finally unable to fight again, and was pierced through the body by several sharp swords.
The scenery in his eyes began to turn gloomy, and at this moment, he seemed to realize something.
It turns out that the world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray.
It’s a pity that he realized it a little too late.
boom!
He fell heavily to the ground. The great leader of the Mohist school, who was once a powerful figure in the world, died in an unknown dense forest.
Chapter 236 Luban No.
“Haha, it’s done! I’ve spent months and months creating this ultimate killing weapon!” Looking at his perfect masterpiece, Gongshu Chou opened his arms and laughed loudly, “As long as it is put into the battlefield, it will surely achieve amazing results!”
“Even if it’s the Azure Dragon of the Mohist School, I am confident enough to defeat it!”
“Dean, this thing has a very lethal effect. Please use it with caution.” Mo Shi reminded.
Gongshu Chou snorted coldly, “What do you know? Only by scaring the enemy and making them beg for mercy, can the war end as quickly as possible!”
“Killing is to protect life! All this is for the people of the world!” Gongshu Chou took out the principles taught to him by Su Xuan and brainwashed a group of Mohist disciples again.
“Go and invite Lord Prime Minister over. No, I’ll go there myself!” Gongshu Chou looked respectful when mentioning Su Xuan. The fact that this killing machine could be developed so quickly was closely related to Su Xuan. Even many of its weapons and body structures were ideas proposed by Su Xuan.
At this time, Su Xuan was watching the latest intelligence in the Prime Minister’s residence. Under the full coverage of Luowang and Violet Chamber of Commerce, nothing in Xianyang could hide from his eyes and ears.
He was the first to learn about the death of the Six-Fingered Black Knight and felt it was a pity. After his death, the Mohist School was destined to become a tool for the six countries to resist the Qin State.
But soon he became excited again, because he wanted to see how powerful the legendary Azure Dragon was.
How about compared to dynamite?
When he used the giant stone cannon to attack Xinzheng, he felt that there was still a gap between the power of the giant stone and that of the cannonball. So he immediately sent a message to the Academy of Gewu and asked Gongshu Chou to organize people to study explosives, so that he could let the six countries open their eyes when he went to the battlefield next time.
After telling Gongshu Chou the ratio of explosives, he did not disappoint Su Xuan. It only took him one month to develop explosives comparable to the black gunpowder of later generations.
The firecrackers he used at his wedding were developed recently.
Not long after, Gongshu Chou came to visit and told Su Xuan the good news.
“This killing machine is a combination of Tyranny and Mohism. As long as it is loaded with enough weapons, I have the confidence that I can slaughter tens of thousands of troops.” Gongshu Chou looked excited. “I named this killing machine Luban No. 1.”
“Master Xiangbang, please follow me and take a look. As long as you are satisfied, I can organize manpower for mass production and build 81 killing weapons, so that the world can feel the shock brought to them by the machines!”
After bidding farewell to the girls, Su Xuan met Lu Ban No. 1 mentioned by Gongshu Chou in the Gewuyuan.
Luban No. 1 is several meters tall and is made entirely of steel. However, judging from its surface, one cannot feel how terrifying it is because it appears to be extremely harmless to humans and animals, just like a clay doll, lifelike.
Gongshu Chou began to introduce Su Xuan, “According to the idea of the Prime Minister, I have equipped Luban No. 1 with several weapons.”
He gave orders to Luban No. 1, and saw Luban No. 1’s eyes shining. The fuselage turned and sprayed dozens of projectiles into the distance. Countless flying needles shot out from it, and the attack range directly covered hundreds of meters.
“This is a weapon that is improved based on the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle that the Prime Minister mentioned. In addition, I have tempered all the iron needles with poison that is enough to cause death. As long as the skin is scratched, the enemy will have no chance of survival.”
“In addition, I have loaded a kind of cannonball with gunpowder, using bloodstone and oil to generate extremely strong thrust. It can fly for several miles. If it is in the enemy’s battle formation, the power of the cannonball can clear out all the enemy troops in front and carve out a bloody path!”
Su Xuan nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue.
Gongshu Chou was still enthusiastic and described vividly, “I have prepared an ultimate killer move for Luban No. 1, called artillery fire coverage. Once it is activated, the enemy troops within a radius of one mile will be bombarded from all directions. Although the move is terrifyingly powerful, it consumes a lot of energy and gunpowder, and can only be used once at most.”
Su Xuan looked at Luban No. 1 in front of him and always felt that something was missing.
“What do you think, Lord Prime Minister?” Gongshu Chou raised his head and asked with a smile.
“Not bad.” Su Xuan said casually.
Gongshu Chou was a little puzzled, “Is the Prime Minister still not satisfied?”
Su Xuan glanced at him and instantly saw through his thoughts. He pointed at the stars in the sky and said, “When the weapon you make can shatter the stars with one blow, you can brag in front of me!”
Gongshu Chou looked at the stars in the sky and stood there in a daze. Could such a thing really come true?
Su Xuan patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice, “This is the real domineering mechanical art!” “Don’t you want to build a real galactic battleship one day, cross the star field, and let the aliens see the power of the domineering mechanical art?” Su Xuan began to paint a pie in the sky for him again.
“I think only you can accomplish such an important task. What do you think?”
Gongshu Chou, who was approaching old age, was excited when he heard Su Xuan’s grand ambition, but soon he gave a bitter smile and said, “At my age, I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until that day!”
“Not necessarily.” Su Xuan smiled and shook his head. At Gongshu Chou’s age, it was definitely too late for him to practice cultivation, but he didn’t necessarily have to choose the path of cultivation.
Isn’t the same possible with mechanical ascension?
Looking at Gongshu Chou, whose arm was blown off by explosives and turned into two mechanical arms, Su Xuan decided that this path was most suitable for him.
He simply made some slight changes to Victor’s mechanical ascension and told Gongshu Chou about it.
“There is such a person in the world!” Gongshu Chou was shocked. He looked up at the sky with eager eyes, “I really want to discuss the secrets of the machine with him.”
Zaun and Piltover, are these two stars really real?
But no matter what, Su Xuan’s words pointed him in a direction. Perhaps the immortality that is unattainable for ordinary people may really be achieved in him!
A normal person might resist turning into a machine, but for Gongshu Chou, he feels excited instead. He even feels eager to try it out.
Because he thought that after becoming a mechanical creature, he could study himself! That would be very interesting!
“My Lord Prime Minister, it is very expensive to manufacture a Lu Ban No. 1. If we want to produce it in large quantities, even if the king agrees, the national treasury may not be able to afford it.” Gongshu Chou suddenly remembered and reminded him.
“It’s okay!” Su Xuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to worry.
If Qin’s treasury is not enough, aren’t there four other countries waiting for him to reap?
In the battle to destroy Han and Wei, all advanced weapons were exposed and there was no longer any advantage in weapons. This is why Su Xuan upgraded his arsenal as soon as possible.
While developing explosives to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks, he replaced the original bronze weapons and iron tools with later steel, which was much sharper than before.
The same weapon, a sword made of steel, can cut an iron sword in one stroke.
However, the original iron knife, when chopped on the armor, remained completely unscathed, and would even break if chopped a few more times.
Just imagine, when every soldier of the Qin army holds a famous sword in his hand, what can the soldiers of the four countries use to resist?
This will be a massacre!
As for the original weapons, Su Xuan had no intention of wasting them. Naturally, all of this garbage would be dumped to the four countries.
Before the fight begins, first gather all the money from the four countries, as there will be many areas that need development in the future!
