Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 51 Bamboo Whip

"Come, try this water-ground bamboo whip,"

As Yang Lin spoke, he handed the steel whip to Lu Shang and said, "Take a look at this steel whip and see if it fits your hand."

Lu Shang took the bamboo steel whip. The whole whip was polished by water, and the bamboo texture on the whip was clear. Holding it in his hand, it felt cold and rough.

"good,"

He swung the whip gently, and the tip of the whip made a sound in the wind, like a dragon swimming.

hum!
When Lu Shang waved his whip, all the weapons in the small building also made clanging sounds.

Yang Lin stroked his beard and said, "It seems that this steel whip is very suitable for your hand. Come with me, let's go to the back garden. There is a wide space there, and we can let go and see the power of this steel whip."

"it is good,"

Lu Shang held the bamboo steel whip in his hand, tried to feel the texture, and nodded in response.

Yang Lin glanced at the weapon rack beside him, and finally pulled out two copper sticks from the weapon rack. After weighing them, he walked out of the small building.

The back garden of the palace was brightly lit. Yang Lin held a copper stick in both hands, while Lu Shang held a water-ground bamboo steel whip in one hand. The two stood facing each other.

Yang Lin spread his arms, letting the copper stick hang down to the ground. He said, "Come, let go of your hands and feet. Let me see the power of this steel whip in your hands. In the past, Yuchi Qin used this whip to kill many brave generals in the army. His fierce power shocked the northern border. You must not bury this steel whip."

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, Lu Shang!"

Lu Shang took a deep breath, and the steel whip in his hand made a series of soft sounds.

He didn't know how to use a whip, but he knew that the most suitable use for this kind of blunt weapon was to "smash".

This is different from knife techniques, which emphasize technical skill. When butchering an ox, Cook Ding once described the essence of knife techniques as follows: "Where the hand touches, where the shoulder leans, where the foot steps, where the knee presses, the ripping of the flesh, the creaking of the blade, the movement of the knife, all are in tune with the dance in the Mulberry Grove, and the rhythm of the Jingshou."

This was also the reason why Yang Lin wanted Lu Shang to change his weapon. With Lu Shang's strength, using a weapon like a knife, which required a lot of skill, would be like a bird with a broken wing, making it difficult for him to display his full potential.

With the steel whip in his hand, Lu Shang smashed it down in the air. There was a faint tearing sound in the air. The whip was so powerful that if it landed on a solid surface, iron and stone would be smashed into powder.

Yang Lin remained calm and crossed the copper stick in his hand to block the swift attack.

when!
It roared like thunder, shaking the surrounding lights and sending sparks flying. Yang Lin felt a tremendous force radiating from the copper rod, causing his palms to go numb and his arms to ache. It had been a long time since Yang Lin had experienced this feeling.

"Good boy, this is quite powerful!"

Yang Lin laughed loudly, took a step back, and swung his two copper sticks. They flew left and right, smashing towards Lu Shang's head and chest with a whirring sound.

when!
While holding one copper stick with his steel whip, Lu Shang dodged the other copper stick by moving sideways. He used his steel whip to knock the copper sticks away and continued to smash towards Yang Lin.

Yang Lin dodged the steel whip attack nimbly, and took advantage of the opportunity of turning around to entwine the copper sticks in his hands like two dragons, strangling Lu Shang's lower body.

Lu Shang reacted faster, jumping up with both feet, somersaulting in the air, and whipping the steel whip downwards.

Yang Lin blocked it with the copper stick, and with a loud clang, sparks flew up again.

After Lu Shang landed, he unleashed a powerful attack with his steel whip, his movements impenetrable, one after another, each strike carrying immense force. Yang Lin held his two copper staffs in check, his knuckles numbing with each strike.

The two men fought back and forth, and the surrounding ground was smashed with holes of varying depths by their weapons.

Yang Lin was more and more surprised as the fight went on. Lu Shang's martial arts talent was unexpectedly high. He could sense that Lu Shang had never been able to wield a steel whip, and that the clumsiness of their initial encounter was something he could never replicate. However, as Lu Shang fought him, he gradually mastered the use of the steel whip.

If Lu Shang wins by force, then Yang Lin is the pinnacle of skill. Although the two copper sticks are not his water and fire dragon-imprisoning sticks, in his hands, they can still exert some of the power to overturn the world and imprison the dragon.

The shadows of the sticks were overwhelming, and Yang Lin's Dragon Prison Stick Technique really had the meaning of overturning the sea and turning the world upside down. That is to say, Lu Shang had the physique of Gonggong, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Yin and Yang Yin had also reached the realm of minor success. Steel bones and iron bones were not enough to describe the strength of his physique, so he could use force to break through tricks.

After dozens of moves, Yang Lin finally stopped.

After stopping, Yang Lin looked at Lu Shang again and said with a smile: "You are really amazing, kid."

The copper stick and steel whip are both blunt instruments. In a head-on collision, Yang Lin, who is far less powerful than Lu Shang, is at a disadvantage.

No matter how exquisite Yang Lin's Dragon Prisoner Stick technique was, it was powerless against a tough-skinned monster like Lu Shang. He didn't realize it at first, but after a few rounds of head-on confrontation, Yang Lin knew just how powerful Lu Shang was.

To deal with monsters like Lu Shang who have extraordinary talents and cannot be judged by common sense, you cannot use human martial arts. If you can use Taoist magic, use it. If you can't use Taoist magic, use the nightmare technique.

"This water-milled bamboo steel whip is in your hands. Its power is far greater than that of Yuchi Qin back then."

Yang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Please accept this steel whip. Consider it a gift from me."

Lu Shang was a little surprised by this: "Your Highness, are you going to give this weapon to me?"

Yang Lin said: "That's right, this weapon will be yours from now on."

"I just said that with your strength, you should really use weapons like halberds, hammers, maces, and whips. However, there are no halberds or hammers worth looking at in my hero's tomb. I do have a few maces, but they are far less practical than this water-ground bamboo steel whip."

"This is a family heirloom of the Xianbei Yuchi family. Legend has it that this steel whip was forged by a master at the request of the Yuchi family's ancestors. It is quite magical, weighing 240 kilograms. The former generals Yuchi Gang, Yuchi Yun, and Yuchi Qin all used this whip to gain fame during their lifetime and after their death."

Lu Shang looked at the bamboo whip in his hand and whispered, "Is this the heirloom of the Xianbei Yuchi family?"

Lu Shang still knew the name of the Xianbei Yuchi clan.

That was a true noble family, which had held a prominent position since the time of the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty and was one of the eight surnames of meritorious officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Northern Wei Dynasty split into the Eastern and Western Wei, but the Yuchi clan remained prominent. The current clan leader, Yuchi Jiong, was the nephew of Yuwen Tai.

It was only after Yang Jian came to power that the Yuchi family gradually declined, but they were still a member of the Guanlong nobles.

However, despite the suppression, the Yuchi family's fortune continued. A branch of the family produced Yuchi Gong, also known as the door god Yuchi Jingde. With his own martial arts, he became one of the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion. He was deeply trusted by Li Erfeng and ranked seventh among the heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion.

Yuchi Gong's seventh place is of great value. He is the seventh among the civil and military heroes. If we only look at the military generals, he is only second to Li Erfeng's cousin Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong was a member of the Li Tang royal family, and there was a difference in closeness between them, so Yuchi Gong could not be compared with him. But if we ignore Li Xiaogong and look at the Lingyan Pavilion ranking, we can understand Yuchi Gong's status.

A family heirloom like this is certainly not an ordinary item.

　As I was writing, I checked the information and found that among the twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, only Zhang Liang had a low background. The others all had good backgrounds. I had the impression that Yuchi Gong was a blacksmith, and his father was a governor.
