Chapter 335: Red Yang Gong
Chapter 335: Red Yang Gong
Three months later.
A man was waving a knife quickly on the snow. He swung the knife to melt the snowflakes in the air, and then slashed it towards the ground in a crescent shape, leaving a large mark on the snow. However, it was harmless and these scars would eventually be covered by the heavy snow.
In just three months, Huangfu Yan was able to use Tang Ao's Broken Army Sword with ease, and was promoted from a third-rate warrior to a first-rate warrior. Tang Ao called him a genius.
Especially when he learned that Huangfu Yan had practiced the Yangyan Gong incorrectly, but was able to master it and increase its power by several levels without going into obsession, Tang Ao knew that Huangfu Yan was a genius.
Moreover, the Yangyan Gong that Huangfu Yan practiced by mistake was even stronger than the Pojun Sword Technique, and he renamed this technique the Chiyang Gong.
Huangfu Yan was dancing with a sword on the snow when his body suddenly went limp and he fell asleep.
Starting from a month ago, Huangfu Yan suddenly started to faint continuously. It was precisely because of this strange disease that Huangfu Yan's training speed was greatly delayed. Otherwise, Huangfu Yan might have reached the peak long ago.
At first, Tang Ao was very worried about Huangfu Yan, but after repeating it several times, Tang Ao found that Huangfu Yan was fine after waking up except for feeling sleepy. After many times, Tang Ao got used to it, and every time Huangfu Yan woke up from his sleep, his swordsmanship became more sharp.
It turns out to be a genius's quirk!
As a genius, it's normal to have some quirks.
Just like that, Huangfu Yan woke up an hour later.
Huangfu Yan, who had just woken up, came directly to Tang Ao and asked:
"Master, based on my current progress, when will I be able to break through to the ultimate level?"
"How many times have I told you this? There's no such thing as a breakthrough for a post-natal warrior. A post-natal warrior competes to see who has deeper internal energy and who has more advanced martial arts skills. Your internal energy and swordsmanship are still lacking. Once your internal energy is improved a bit and your swordsmanship is perfected, you'll naturally reach the pinnacle."
"That's true, but I feel like my progress in the Pojun Sword Technique has stalled. No matter how much I practice, I haven't made any progress. Master, do you know what's going on?"
"Well, let me think about it!"
In fact, Tang Ao knew why this was the case without having to think about it. This was because after the Pojun sword technique was mastered, it would only continue to improve in life-and-death battles.
Huangfu Yan had only practiced martial arts with him for three months, so he naturally wouldn't feel comfortable letting Huangfu Yan go out and let him face the dangerous world alone, so he had to think of a reason to fool him.
"It's probably because your internal strength isn't up to par yet. So, don't practice swordsmanship anymore. Practice internal strength instead. Once your internal strength is up to par, you can continue practicing swordsmanship."
Huangfu Yan always felt that the truth was not what Tang Ao said, but the other party was his master after all, a master he recognized himself. Since the other party said so, he would just do as he said.
"Yes, disciple must work hard to cultivate internal strength and strive to master it as soon as possible."
"Well, let's go!"
"Yes."
Just like that, Huangfu Yan returned the knife to Tang Ao and went to find a place to practice his internal skills.
After Huangfu Yan left, Tang Ao immediately started scratching his head.
"What should I do? He'll probably find out I'm lying to him in a few months. Having a disciple who's too talented isn't necessarily a good thing!"
"What should we do then? Let him go down the mountain?"
As soon as this thought arose, it was dismissed by Tang Ao.
"No, no, no, it's too early."
While Tang Ao was thinking hard, Huangfu Yan on the other side was...
“Practice, practice, huhu… Practice, practice, huhu…”
Huangfu Yan was just like this. He would suddenly fall asleep while still practicing, and then continue practicing when he woke up. He continued to make steady progress in this pattern of three sleeps a day.
Therefore, Huangfu Yan was so focused on practicing his internal skills that he didn't even think about whether Tang Ao was lying to him.
After all, practicing internal skills is not a bad thing for him.
The more advanced your internal skills are, the greater the advantage you will have when you go to the top of Mount Tai to fight.
So, why not do something that is completely beneficial to Huangfu Yan himself?
......
three days later.
At this time, Huangfu Yan was still concentrating on practicing his internal skills, while Tang Ao was lying on the snow, looking for spicy strips. However, he didn't find any, but heard some noise coming from a distance.
"Tap tap tap tap tap tap!"
This was the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground, but when I heard it later, the sound of the hooves suddenly stopped. It seemed that the horse was stuck in the snow and could not move forward.
"The sound of horse hooves? Are they the Hu cavalry? Or the Qi cavalry? As long as we have anything to do with them, it's bound to be bad news. No, we can't let them disturb Xiao Yanzi's practice. I have to go and check it out."
After Tang Ao finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from. He soon saw horses stuck in the snow and the Hu cavalrymen who had dismounted to pursue them. There were about forty Hu cavalrymen, and they were chasing a woman who was also wearing Hu clothing.
It is worth noting that these Hu people carried bows and arrows on their horses and on themselves, but no one shot the woman with a bow and arrow. It seems that their purpose was to capture the woman alive.
Tang Ao looked at these barbarians and made a completely instinctive move. As he ran, he said, "You barbarians, how dare you disturb my meditation? I will kick you to death!"
Tang Ao ran, accumulated strength, and jumped. He passed the woman running in front and kicked to death a Hu cavalryman who was chasing in front.
The woman and the Hu people were shocked when they saw Tang Ao suddenly appear. The Hu people behind him also reacted immediately. Most of them chose to swing 9 swords at Tang Ao, and only one idiot chose to use a bow and arrow.
After the Hu man who was using a bow and arrow shot an arrow, his companions beside him yelled at him: "Idiot, there are people behind him, why are you using a bow?"
Just when this Hu man was being scolded, the arrow he shot lived up to everyone's expectations...Tang Ao dodged it and the arrow hit the shoulder of the woman behind him.
The Hu people were also horrified when they saw the woman who was accidentally injured. Their leader had ordered them to bring the woman back unharmed, even if a hair was missing. Now that the woman was so seriously injured, how could they survive?
But Tang Ao didn't care about all that. He snatched the scimitar of the nearest Hu man in front of him, and then swung the knife to easily chop off the head of the disarmed Hu man. Then he rushed into the crowd, and these Hu people were slaughtered by Tang Ao in an instant.
After finishing, Tang Ao looked at the woman behind him. The woman's wound was not fatal, but she fell to the ground as if she was frightened.
Tang Ao went forward to check and found that the woman was poisoned. It seemed that the arrow shot by the Hu people was poisonous.
"It's poisoned, but it doesn't matter. It's still usable. Take it back to Xiao Yanzi."
After saying that, Tang Ao dropped his scimitar, broke the arrow, carried the woman and walked towards his home.
