It was already late in the night, and Yang Lin's camp was completely silent. Everyone had already fallen asleep. Today was indeed an unusual day. During the day, they fought with the bandits, and at night, they went to look for Yang Lin and Kang Ying. Everyone was tired, and not long after entering the tent, they all fell asleep.
The sky was as thick as ink, and there wasn't even a crescent moon or a speck of starlight. Occasionally, a shooting star would streak across the night sky with a hint of coldness. The wind began blowing around midnight. At first, it was gentle, but soon after, it began to move about in the branches and leaves of the willow trees, and then it became more and more violent. The wind was strong, and there were wild bulls like fierce barbarians that rolled and rushed through the mountains …
Yang Lin, who had been startled awake by the sound of the wind, could not fall asleep. His mind was filled with Kang Ying's figure. Unconsciously, Yang Juan's silhouette also jumped out. Two smiling faces flew back and forth in his mind, looking back, only to see the Madam calmly smiling from behind.
"Madam?"
For a moment, his mind was filled with images of his wife, and before he left, she seemed to freeze right in front of his eyes. That smile was both encouraging and appreciative. Why should there be a sweet feeling?
After tossing and turning so much that it was hard to sleep, Yang Lin just lay there and thought about how to deal with the bandits tomorrow. Pan Feng, Yu She, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu had not been able to defeat Lin Feng, but if he and Zhao Yun were to fight tomorrow, would he be able to defeat them? There was no way to consider all of this together. Such a powerful general had to put his heart into it. He had to make them convinced of their defeat.
But was he confident? Although in the past few days, he had been improving quickly by following his brothers, but compared to himself in the past, he did not have any confidence in being able to fight against Lin Feng and Luo Yong at all.
How about Cang Ba go up? That brat was around the same age as Zhao Yun, and they wanted him to go up and fight with Lin Feng, and see how his martial arts were. Although he was very famous, he didn't have a big background after all, so he needed to use this opportunity to test himself.
In the original history, Cang Ba had always fought for Cao Cao. Although his achievements were great, it did not attract anyone's attention. He was a star that was not very eye-catching. Once he was given the stage, he would definitely be able to shine.
"Pu!"
Just as Yang Lin was thinking, he suddenly heard a light sound, as if a person had landed on the ground. The sound of the wind was loud, making it hard to hear outside, but to Yang Lin, who had sharp hearing, he could hear everything clearly. He reached out his hand to the pillow subconsciously, and grabbed the knife handle with his blade.
"Sha …" Sand... "Rustle …"
Sure enough, soft, almost inaudible footsteps slowly walked towards the sleeping bed. Yang Lin slowly opened his eyes, although the tent was very dark, he still felt the shadow move around. There was only one person who walked towards the sleeping bed quietly.
Yang Lin was like a normal person, breathing lightly, in the eyes of an outsider, it was as though he had fallen asleep. But his eyes were slightly open, staring intently at the figure, ready to leap up and deliver a fatal blow.
However, the figure did not move, but stood quietly in front of Yang Lin's sleeping bed. Yang Lin's hand tightly gripped the blade hilt, his hand was already sweating. However, the black shadow still didn't move, as if he had only come to listen to Yang Lin's sleeping breathing.
"Don't move!"
Yang Lin could no longer wait, he jumped up like lightning, fast to the point that even he could no longer believe his own words, the big blade quickly placed itself on the black figure's neck, the sharp blade had already pressed against the front of his neck, only then did he let out a cold snort, and the moment he moved, Yang Lin would chop off his head.
"Milord, no need to panic. I'm not here to kill you. I want to make a deal with you."
"Don't play tricks on me, just stand there and wait for me to light the lamp."
Yang Lin pressed the blade against his neck, and used his other hand to light the lamp, only then did he see clearly that standing in front of him was a skinny young man, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a pair of crafty little eyes moving around in his eye frame. However, he really didn't have any weapon in his hands. It seemed that he really wasn't going to kill anyone.
"Now, who are you? What kind of deal? "
"I am Liang Tian from eagle peak, the Second Leader has sent me here to make a deal with Master. Let's hand He Xiong and the Four Chips of Eagle Peak over to Master, and Master will retreat, what about it? "
"Oh, He Xiong and Four Chips of Eagle Peak's martial arts are so high, what method do you have to capture them?"
"As long as you agree, we have our ways."
Yang Lin was even thinking of taking in all of them, how could he let you do as you please? Since the heavens had given him a chance, he must seize this chance and not let them remain in obscurity.
"No, you have to tell me what you're going to do."
"We are prepared to use a chronic poison tomorrow morning. This poison will not kill anyone and will only weaken them. Tomorrow, they will fight you and let you capture them."
"Then how will they be?"
"No, they won't have any strength left in their lifetime. They won't even be able to compare to ordinary people."
It was no wonder that they had disappeared from history, and no names were left behind. It turned out that the four of them were ambushed by their comrades just like that, who was the Master Kang in history to ask for help? No one would remember, but Zhao Yun would definitely not do such a thing, there must be other people.
"That won't do. I want them to be the same as now. I don't want a few pieces of trash."
"Then... Then let's land in their horses and let their horses be weak, defeated and taken away by you guys, but it's a bit long, how about it? "
"That's more like it."
Saying that, Yang Lin looked at the fellow called Liang Tian. Although he was small and skinny, he was very capable, wearing the tight clothes for the night trip, he was brimming with energy, looking like an expert capable of running away, Yang Lin could not help but be moved.
"I can agree, but I also have a condition."
"What are your conditions, master?"
"After this is done, you must follow me."
The petite man seemed to tremble for a moment. His thin shoulders, along with his entire body, shook slightly. But he quickly calmed himself down, and raised his head to look at Yang Lin, only to see that Yang Lin's eyes were filled with sincerity, he really wanted to leave this expert behind, who could not help but laugh.
"May I know what is the purpose of your excellency's request?"
"I admire all capable people."
"Thank you, my lord, for your love. However, the Second Boss has done me a favor, I cannot betray him. "
"I don't need you to betray him. Once this matter is completed, he will become the Great Master, and you can be considered to have repaid for saving his life. "From now on, you should follow me and don't have any conflicts with him. How about it?"
"This …"
"What is there to think about? Do you want to spend your life in this mountain like a mouse? If you follow me to see the outside world, aren't you ten thousand times better than this mountain? "
"Alright, it's settled then."
On the second day, after finishing breakfast, Yang Lin brought the officials and the village men to the eagle peak. Just as they finished setting up the array, a group of bandits rushed down from the mountain. It was almost the same as yesterday. The Great Master and the Second Leader followed closely behind them, with Lin Feng and Luo Yong leading the way. The only difference was that Huang An and the stone pillar were caught by Pan Feng.
"Bandit, it's too late to surrender now. If you die under my spear later, don't regret it."
Seeing that the bandits had completed their formation, Zhao Yun and Cang Ba urged their horses to the front of the formation. Lin Feng was not to be outdone, he galloped on his horse, and did not forget to give Zhao Yun a reply while he was running.
"official dog, stop being so arrogant. Watch me take your life."
"Kill …"
As Zhao Yun pounced towards Lin Feng, Cang Ba also rushed out. Without wasting any words, he rushed towards Luo Yong. When the two of them met, the long spear flew out, the spear blade went straight for Cang Ba's face. Cang Ba shook his head, the spear in his hand had already been handed over.
Intense shouts of battle suddenly rang out in the valley, and the frantic sounds of horse hooves trampling madly struck at the hearts of the bandits. The lazy spring sun hung high up in the sky, quietly watching the carnage in front of the eagle peak. Waves of cold wind blew past, carrying away the sounds of killing.
"Die!"
Cang Ba roared as his berserk anger soared to the skies. His bright eyes burned with a scorching killing intent and his huge body became as agile as a dragon. The spear in his hands danced in the air like a viper.
This was the first time Cang Ba displayed himself in front of Yang Lin. Cang Ba, who was wholeheartedly trying to repay Yang Lin, shot out the steel spear in his hand like a bolt of lightning. Luo Yong howled out, he suddenly raised his spear and swung it, the spear tip spinning and thrusting straight at Cang Ba's throat.
"Cang Ba is extraordinary!"
Seeing Cang Ba's heroic look, Yang Lin could not help but laugh in his heart. Seems like he had picked up a treasure, and Cang Ba was not an ordinary person either, with a spear like spirit serpent, his imposing spear technique was not inferior to Luo Yong's, and in that moment, the two of them were stuck in a difficult position.
"Die!"
After battling with Lin Feng for a long time, he had not been able to let his anger burn. Even if Lin Feng had stabbed him in the chest, he had to pierce through his heart. Lin Feng was shocked in his heart. He did not expect that when Zhao Yun fought with his life on the line, he would withdraw his spear in panic and defend.
"Why haven't the bandits' warhorses fallen yet?"
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already fought more than a hundred rounds. Seeing both sides becoming braver with no intention of stopping, Yang Lin who was in the battle array could not help but become anxious. His gaze swept through the bandits' formation. Where did that sharp-tongued fellow from yesterday go?
"Pu …"
As if he had some sort of reaction, the moment Yang Lin's words came out, Lin Feng's war horse seemed to have tripped on a rock, its front hooves slipped, and it suddenly kneeled down. Lin Feng who was charging at the moment had no time to defend, he almost flew off the horse.
How could Cang Ba be willing to dodge? The long spear was like a spirit serpent, aimed straight at his vitals, shocking him so much that he kicked his horse to the side to escape, but just as he turned his horse, Cang Ba's long spear had already arrived and ruthlessly smashed towards him. In the midst of his panic, Luo Yong raised his spear to block, and only heard a thunderous sound, as the horse below him had already collapsed onto the ground, throwing Luo Yong far away.
"Ah …"
Both sides exclaimed and watched as Lin Feng and Luo Yong were taken down from their horses. Immediately after, cheers broke out from the troops, sweeping away the haze that had hung over the horizon for the past few days. As for the bandits, they hung their heads in despair and watched dumbly as Lin Feng and Luo Yong were dragged down.
"official dog, stop being so arrogant. Watch this old man take you."
Yang Lin did not expect that at this time, He Xiong would rush forward. Without much time to think, Yang Lin ferociously grabbed his horse belly and urged his horse forward to welcome them. His brothers had already gone to battle. If he didn't go to battle now, he was afraid that he would be looked down upon by them.
"Kill …"
He Xiong bellowed, the long spear in his hand was like ten thousand plum blossoms, the sharp blade pierced through the air, with the force of thunder, it flew towards Yang Lin like lightning. In a moment of desperation, Yang Lin's body strangely dodged, the steel spear in his hand had already pierced forward.
A cold light flashed past. Yang Lin's steel spear had already reached its target, and the caught He Xiong off guard, and he fell to the ground, not forgetting to swing his spear and stab at Yang Lin's waist. The strange thing happened again, Yang Lin's body actually retreated backwards, He Xiong's spear blade brushed past the armor.
"This is the 'One with the Spear'?"
After shifting the horse head, Yang Lin could not help but think to himself, in that moment where the spear arts, movement techniques, footwork, and mental cultivation methods all surfaced in his brain, revolving like a spinning top in his brain. He seemed to understand something, and his mind became cool.
He Xiong rushed forward once again, and the two of them started to fight. As the two shots collided, Yang Lin realised that He Xiong's marksmanship was getting clearer and clearer, as if he was watching a slow motion teaching movie. He was able to discern every single movement clearly, from He Xiong's force exertion, to the direction of the spear, to the mutation of the spear blade, everything was still fresh in his mind.
"This is the Ascension?"
Yes, this was the ascension! Yang Lei had spent his entire life researching, but because he did not have the ability to comprehend the mysteries, and because he had not met any experts fighting with their lives, the hidden potential in his heart could never be awakened. It was fated that he could only become a gunner, and not a spear god.
But the current He Xiong, was truly fighting with his life on the line. Spear and spear were all deathblows, some even used suicide techniques. Once he lost the Four Chips of Eagle Peak, he would lose everything. He was already over forty years old, so it was impossible for him to start over again. Rather than dying of old age alone, it was better to die in battle.
"Die!"
He Xiong was exceptionally angry, he roared at the sky, his eyes opened wide, releasing a strong killing intent that soared to the sky, his sinister face was like a ghost, he fiercely grabbed onto the horse belly and with a roar, he rushed forward, holding onto his spear as he rushed towards Yang Lin.
Yang Lin's eyes flashed with seriousness, he had clearly seen He Xiong's weakness. The steel spear in his hand suddenly pointed forward, urging his horse forward, the sharp spear blade pointed straight at He Xiong's throat. However, He Xiong would rather die than dodge, the pike in his hand refused to comply, and aimed straight for Yang Lin's left chest.
In that moment, Yang Lin hesitated, he did not want to die together with He Xiong. His beautiful life had only just begun, there were still many important matters waiting for him to strive for. He definitely could not disappear from this mountain ditch. The rapidly moving spear suddenly turned around, and with a lift, the two horses passed by each other.
"Master Yang's martial arts are extraordinary."
Kang Tai could not help but look at Kang Ying. You little girl, with your kung fu, you have the nerve to say that he is not a match for you. This He Xiong is Lin Feng's and Luo Yong's master, even if the two of them were to join forces, they would still not be a match for He Xiong, and you still dare to say that the Master Yang is not a match for you!
Kang Ying could not help but stick out her tongue, lowering her head in panic, her face already burning red. Scenes of the mountainside flashed in her mind, so shy that she dared not look up. However, she was truly unable to contain herself. She cast a side glance at Chu Feng and focused all of her attention on that enormous body.
She had never thought that this gentle and elegant old man was actually a martial arts master. Her body suddenly became hot and dry and her body trembled. However, her eyes could not bear to leave the fierce battle in the valley. That vigorous figure was deeply imprinted in her mind.
Even those brothers were silent. They were all mesmerized as they had long seen that this Brother Yang was no ordinary expert in martial arts. There were only a few people in this world who were able to win in a battle.
"I've told you before, he's not a mortal."
Yang Lei muttered with a face full of pride. Although he did not give Yang Lin much advice, but there was a saying: Master Fu brought me in, and we're both individuals, Yang Lin had introduced him to the door of spear arts, why is Yang Lin not happy and excited?
Unknowingly, over a hundred rounds had passed. Even though Yang Lin still wanted to spar with He Xiong a little more so that he could reap some rewards, he could see that He Xiong's war horse was showing signs of exhaustion. If he wanted He Xiong to accept his defeat wholeheartedly, he must not let his horse fall.
"Kill …"
Yang Lin roared as he spurred his horse forward. He raised his steel spear high in the air, and without any fancy tricks, he smashed it towards He Xiong, wanting to block it. had always wanted to fight, but seeing that, he did not raise his spear to block, but instead stabbed it into Yang Lin's waist.
"Die!"
Yang Lin jumped up from his horse, his body floating in the air, the steel spear in his hand wrapped around the power of Sky Splitting Slash, whizzing towards He Xiong's head. He Xiong was forced into a corner and raised his spear. There was a loud noise that shook the sky as Yang Lin's spear ruthlessly smashed into He Xiong's spear hilt.
"Gulp …"
Amidst the deafening sounds, He Xiong's war horse could no longer endure such a violent destruction. Raising its head and letting out a tragic cry, its four hooves went soft as it kneeled on the ground. He Xiong, who was mounted on the horse, was instantly thrown off.
