Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 48: Heroes' Success or Failure, Crossing the River

call! ! !
The corpse fell from the sky. Adjutant Zhou was in a state of extreme tension and subconsciously swung his knife.

With a bang, the corpse was chopped off by his sword and hit a tree not far away. The shirt was completely torn, revealing the close-fitting golden soft armor underneath.

Adjutant Zhou's sword strike failed to damage the corpse because it hit the golden soft armor.

"Captain?!"

Adjutant Zhou reacted and was shocked.

He had already adapted to the rhythm of being besieged, and was prepared to rely on his armor, risking a few hits on unimportant parts of his body, and then kill Zhong Jinqiu with one blow.

But when he suddenly saw the body of Captain Xu, he was shocked and his morale plummeted.

Old Yu suddenly stood up, shouted, and swung his left hand knife to chop Huashan, chopping off Adjutant Zhou's head.

"Death!"

If it were before, with his one-armed, single-knife, and bleeding condition, if he dared to use such a bold move in front of Adjutant Zhou, he would probably have been chopped in half as soon as he raised the knife.

But at this moment, facing the knife coming at him with a loud shout.

Adjutant Zhou could only subconsciously raise his hand and block with his sword.

when! !

Sparks flew when the two big knives collided.

Zhong Jinqiu had appeared on the side, and the narrow knife pierced straight through, piercing Adjutant Zhou's armpit.

Half of the blade was stabbed into Adjutant Zhou's torso.

Adjutant Zhou's body suddenly froze.

Zhong Jinqiu twisted his sword and retreated quickly.

Large amounts of blood spurted out.

Adjutant Zhou fell to the ground, his sword also dropped to the ground, and he gasped and said, "I can't believe that my brother and I would be destroyed by you guys..."

"Back when we were in town, I was thinking of letting you go and not bothering with you..."

"Hey, you guys didn't let me go!"

Zhong Jinqiu flicked the blood off his knife and sighed, "I've always been a laid-back person, living in a small town with no ambitions. I can only blame you for your injustices. You've brought disaster upon yourself."

Adjutant Zhou pushed up his visor, revealing a pale face from heavy blood loss, but his pupils were still dark, revealing an unwavering warmth.

"What the hell are you talking about? We brothers have worked so hard to get to where we are today. In the end, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit..."

"Nonsense!"

Chu Tianshu interrupted him and stood in the woods looking at this side.

“Throughout history, there are many people who, despite their defeat, are still remembered as heroes by the people.”

"The excuse of 'winners are kings and losers are bandits', whether it's said by the living or the dead, is just an attempt to drag the glorious heroes into your quagmire and add some glory to your faces."

Adjutant Zhou stared at Chu Tianshu intently, blood flowing from his mouth, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

He suddenly caught a glimpse of Lao Yu asking Zhong Jinqiu to run to Captain Xu and try to strip off the gold-thread soft armor together.

"I, I haven't even worn it yet!"

Adjutant Zhou spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

Chu Tianshu actually only said a few words and then ignored this side. He had already turned around to check on Xiao Huo's injuries.

Xiao Huo was knocked away by Meng Daizong and passed out.

But his injuries did not seem like he was hit, but rather like his internal organs were squeezed.

The "pushing" force in Tai Chi is the least harmful force when used by people with shallow skills, but it is the most vicious force when used by people with deep skills.

Although the internal organs did not rupture due to the squeeze, they were displaced, and the pain became even worse.

Chu Tianshu was originally going to give him acupuncture, but after checking his injuries, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that he had been thinking about the similarities between palm thunder and acupuncture.

Internal strength can shift the five internal organs, and it can also restore them to their original position. In this respect, it should be more effective than acupuncture.

Chu Tianshu carefully reached out and massaged Xiao Huo's chest and abdomen a few times. Xiao Huo coughed up some blood and woke up, but he was weak all over and couldn't get up.

The shopkeeper Ma untied the donkey cart and left it in the woods.

Cai Shanjun had made careful plans. As early as in Wujiazhai, he had prepared a tonic pill for the donkey to take in conjunction with the "Yu" technique.

A few people put Xiao Huo on the donkey and hurried to the dock.

There are several sailboats by the pier.

If someone is willing to take the risk, he will enter the water from another place and then try to cross the river diagonally to a safe route.

The soldiers guarding the dock also needed a backup speedboat so that they could pursue and intercept the enemy in time.

Now this ship is just a good deal for Chu Tianshu and his friends.

Shopkeeper Ma and Zhong Jinqiu followed Cai Shanjun's instructions, raised the sails and adjusted the direction.

The direction of the wind may not necessarily blow exactly from one shore to the other, but if the direction of the sail is adjusted well, you can borrow a force from the wind that points directly to the other shore.

The sails were blown high, and the sailboat gradually accelerated, cutting through the water.

After a while, everyone was far away from the shore.

Chu Tianshu sat on the side of the boat to rest, watching the white clouds in the sky being blown by the wind, spreading and dispersing, rolling away, and then looked at the angle of the sail.

He seemed to recall some physics problems he had encountered in high school, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Grand Commander, you really do know everything."

Cai Shanjun felt much more relaxed when he got to the river. He said with a smile, "I don't know how to box, otherwise I would have rushed up just now."

Chu Tianshu looked around and found that there was no suitable place to lie down on the boat. He hit his neck with a bit of regret.

"Who said you can't box?" Chu Tianshu put his fist forward and looked at the other side.

"A punch like mine can't reach the other side, let alone the capital."

"But, once you gather your forces and confront the traitors, that will be the real heavy blow."

"In fact, as soon as Yizhou raised its fist, the news spread throughout the world, and those people with the surname Yuan would be a little uneasy."

Chu Tianshu's eyes were bright and he looked energetic.

"This can be called the Fist of Protecting the Nation, the Fist of Guarding the Nation. Throughout history, it is worthy of being listed as one of the best fists of its kind."

Cai Shanjun's expression changed slightly and his gaze went into the distance.

"First-rate pleasure?"

Cai Shanjun said leisurely, "Fighting for justice is unavoidable. It is indeed a painful yet satisfying thing."

He looked at the surging river and seemed to see the war that would spread everywhere in the future.

The splashes of water are like sparks of fire, and the rivers are like battlefields.

Will the rivers ever become clear? Will the world ever be free of war?
However, the mighty river never stales because it flows forever. One has to do something before one knows whether that day will come.

"Even an iron fist will eventually rust. If I had a choice, I would rather be a wave in the mighty river."

Cai Shanjun suddenly became interested and asked with a smile, "If you look at the world and nature, what would you like to do?"

Although Xiao Huo was lying down, he was the one who spoke without hesitation when he heard this.

"Bullet, I want to be a bullet, following the same path all my life, without deviation or change, and will definitely hit the bull's eye."

Lao Yu smiled and said, "I still want to be a human being. I'm a good person, so forget about the rest."

Shopkeeper Ma was very excited: "I want to build a wine cellar, with thousands of jars of wine in my belly and treasures hidden in the cellar. Although it is inconspicuous, it is actually very valuable."

"Then I'll be a turtle."

Zhong Jinqiu swung the golden soft armor in the river water, then lazily draped it over the side of the boat and yawned. "I heard there are turtles in the sea, too."

"The deep sea should not be disturbed by outsiders. The turtle family will live a long and peaceful life."

Shopkeeper Ma looked at Chu Tianshu and said, "Xiao Chu, what do you want to do?"

"me!"

Chu Tianshu dragged out the word and said with a smile, "Then I want to be the wind."

Shopkeeper Ma pondered, "I thought you wanted to be a raging fire, the sun, or something like that, but it turns out you wanted to be the wind? That's too ethereal, fickle, and complex."

“Although the wind is changeable, the cool breeze will arrive on time every autumn and winter, and the spring breeze will always come as promised after the New Year.”

Chu Tianshu said, "Free as the wind, keeping appointments as easy as the wind, isn't that great?"

He had just fought a series of battles and his mind was focused and clear. Now his body and mind were relaxed, and his mind was like a rebound, with a lot of daydreams.

As he was talking about the wind, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

It seems that there will still be extreme weather disasters such as the Little Ice Age on Earth, and at that time, cool and warm winds will not be normal.

If you really want to keep your promise, do you have to crush the annoying extreme weather along the way?

Ha, that's really not something a human can do.

After crossing the river, they did not stay and traveled another hundred miles.

That night they again arrived at a large city where an army was stationed.

Cai Shanjun has revealed his true identity, and the treatment he receives immediately changes upon arriving here.

Not only was Commander Xie of this regiment his old subordinate, but most of the company and battalion-level cadres in this regiment had attended his classes at the Military Academy, and some had even received training at the Grand Marshal's Office.

Basically, he can be considered as his student.

Although we haven't entered Kunming yet, we can be considered completely safe here.

He asked the local regiment headquarters to send a telegram directly to inform many people in Kunming.

Chu Tianshu and others also settled down in this regiment headquarters.

When he entered the room, Chu Tianshu was actually a little surprised.

Because there is an electric light in this room.

Although the light bulb is hung directly from the beam with wires wrapped around it, it looks quite simple.

However, Chu Tianshu hadn't seen any electrical equipment for two months, so he felt a little familiar with it.

He turned on the light, sat down at the table, and summoned the token screen.

Xu Youjiang and Meng Daizong are out-and-out warriors. Even those ninjas only practice telekinesis and take medicine on their own, and there are no evil spirits in them.

Although I feel that my boxing experience has improved after this battle, I didn't gain much in the column of evil spirit materials.

As for the luck column, it has made great progress today.

When we left Wujiazhai before, we had only made a little more than half of the progress.

Today's battle, crossing the river, and arriving at Captain Xie's place, the luck bar has risen sharply three times.

Chu Tianshu remembered that after crossing the river, his luck bar had already risen to the level where he could go home once.

When he clicked on it, he found a note below saying that he could choose to return at any time within three days.

And now, the luck column is even overflowing.

Below the progress bar required for return, there is another line showing a short period of time.

[When returning, in addition to the master himself, if he wishes to bring any tangible or material objects with him, the value of the objects will be deducted from the excess Qi.]
