Chapter 88: Side tricks, breaking the sky with one hand!
"what's on your mind?"
Dou Tianyuan felt that there was something wrong with Xu Chong's eyes, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Ah, nothing. I was intimidated by the commander-in-chief's power and lost my mind for a moment."
Xu Chong quickly shook his head.
Dou Tianyuan looked down at the leaves and said in confusion, "I just picked a leaf. I'm only halfway there. How can it be so powerful?"
"And the other half?"
Xu Chong didn't understand.
"Of course, why would I pick leaves for no reason? I have to throw them away."
Dou Tianyuan said as a matter of course, "Just look outside."
As he said this, he snapped his fingers.
The leaves disappeared.
Xu Chong looked out the car window in the direction Dou Tianyuan indicated.
No hanging incident occurred.
"Okay, you probably can't see yet, follow me."
Dou Tianyuan dodged and jumped out of the car window.
This time he deliberately slowed down his speed. Xu Chong could clearly see a black figure coming down the official road and heading east.
Without thinking much, Xu Chong chased after him.
Not long after, the two of them stopped under a big tree, one in front and one behind.
Without waiting for Dou Tianyuan to remind him, Xu Chong saw the long snake nailed to the tree trunk at a glance.
The snake was nothing special, just a common arboreal snake.
But what pinned the snake was an ordinary leaf.
"This also only used the first level of Tongmai strength. It's just that my eyesight is much better. As for you, yours should never miss a target even if it's only a hundred feet away."
Dou Tianyuan said proudly, "How is it? Is it still pleasing to the eye?"
“…”
Xu Chong looked back in the direction he came from.
This is no longer a question of whether it is pleasing to the eye or not.
This is beyond comprehension, right?
With the strength of the first level of Tongmai, killing a snake would be no problem.
But the distance of this attack, as well as the concealment of the attack... completely exceeds the concept of Tongmai.
What's more, the leaves were picked from a hundred feet away.
If it is used against an enemy, doesn't it mean that as long as it is discovered in advance, one can seize the weapon and kill the enemy from a distance of hundreds of feet?
"If you master the Star Picking Skills, you can kill people at the tenth level with Tongmai at the first level , and people at the tenth level can kill people above Tongmai."
Dou Tianyuan took the initiative to speak, "However, if you use all your strength like this, most of your strength will be consumed between the contraction and release. If you fail to kill the enemy with one blow, the remaining strength will only be enough for you to escape."
Now it can be understood.
Xu Chong nodded as if he understood something.
"As for the subsequent side technique , I named it Breaking the Sky with One Hand."
Dou Tianyuan stared at Xu Chong and smiled sinisterly, "I'll let you see it today."
Xu Chong looked a little stern.
Then he saw Dou Tianyuan closing his arms and then opening them as if pushing open a door .
Just like picking stars, nothing happened.
"You'll know once you take a step inside."
Dou Tianyuan smiled.
Xu Chong was not afraid, and he followed Dou Tianyuan's instructions and took a step in that direction.
The scene changed instantly.
"this!!!"
Xu Chong was filled with horror, looking at the scene in disbelief.
With that step just now, he actually crossed a distance of hundreds of feet and returned to the carriage!
flash?
Teleport?
Anywhere door?
"This is one of the uses of Breaking the Sky with One Hand."
Dou Tianyuan came out and sat down in the carriage again. "Whether it's attacking, escaping, or investigating... they are all supreme skills!"
He's becoming more and more like Old Six...
Xu Chong complained, a little suspiciously: "You obviously used two hands."
“…”
Dou Tianyuan was choked and said unhappily, "Isn't it too stupid to call it "Shuangshou Potian"?"
"……really."
Xu Chong nodded in agreement, and then clasped his fists solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I will continue to practice diligently."
"Yeah, that's good."
Dou Tianyuan finally smiled with satisfaction and asked again: "You are going to Zhanghua for thousands of miles, and you have to deal with Jiang Zhihong's enemies on the way. Are you sure you can do it?"
"Will those people really attack a small flag like me?"
Xu Chong did not answer but asked instead, somewhat stunned.
"You don't know what Jiang Zhihong did back then."
Dou Tianyuan waved his hand and said, "Let me put it this way. If they had the chance to spit on him, I'm afraid those people wouldn't let it go."
"No way, Jiang Zhihong has already made a breakthrough. I heard he was very confident in his words, so he should have a great deterrent effect."
Xu Chong frowned.
Unexpectedly, Dou Tianyuan suddenly stood up: "What?! Breakthrough?!"
"Hasn't the chief guard received the news yet?"
Xu Chong was stunned.
"Why do you think the chief guard got the message?"
Dou Tianyuan frowned, "Did someone assassinate Jiang Zhihong?"
"Assassination..."
A hint of realization flashed across Xu Chong's face.
Assassins, fire tornadoes, giant hands in the clouds and mist... memories related to Jiang Zhihong's attack resurfaced.
This time Xu Chong was not panicked, and answered directly: "About a month and a half ago, on the edge of Zhanghua Mansion, a retainer of the Shen family in Fengyang Mansion named Zhong Dahe suddenly attacked and assassinated him, but was suppressed by Jiang Lao with a move of Ningyuncheng Hand."
"Condensing the Clouds into Hands... It is indeed a breakthrough."
Dou Tianyuan suddenly became nervous, "You have been with him all the way, do you know what his attitude is towards Lou Heizi now?"
"Lou Heizi?"
Xu Chong was stunned.
"It's the Prime Minister Lou Youzhi."
Dou Tianyuan waved his hand, "I'm afraid he will go looking for trouble with Lou Heizi."
“I see…”
Xu Chong thought about it and shook his head, "Probably not. If Jiang always hated Prime Minister Lou before, now he just dislikes him at most, and maybe feels a little guilty. He came to the capital to ask His Majesty for a county magistrate, and he probably won't even meet Prime Minister Lou."
"That's good."
Dou Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you worried that the Prime Minister will get hurt?"
Xu Chong asked calmly.
"He's hurt?"
Dou Tianyuan shook his head with amusement, "I may not even be able to beat Lou Heizi, let alone Jiang Laojue who just broke through."
Xu Chong took note of it secretly.
"No wonder the news didn't come back."
Dou Tianyuan sat down again. "Even if there are secret sentries nearby, they can't spread this news."
Xu Chong thought about it and understood.
Even I, who witnessed it with my own eyes, had forgotten the scene of Jiang Zhihong's attack. Even if there were people hiding in the dark, unless they were of noble status or had been unsealed twice, they would forget it as soon as the sun rose.
No matter which type it is, the number is definitely not large, and it is highly unlikely that it will be used to transmit messages.
After the Shen family lost a Tongmai Master, they would most likely think that someone was guarding them in secret, which would make sense as there were no assassins behind them.
"But if you do this, I'm afraid you'll run into a lot of trouble along the way."
Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, "How about it, do you need me to send someone to take you there?"
"No need, I am sure."
Xu Chong shook his head.
He also planned to let Wei Wuxie take a walk after returning to Zhanghua, and then go back to the Qianhu Office. It was really inconvenient to have someone following him.
"oh?"
Dou Tianyuan looked at Xu Chong seriously, "Don't underestimate those people. Not to mention that you have hidden the Wind-Breaking Hand, even if you have reached the tenth level of Tongmai and have mastered the Star-Picking Skill, it will be useless."
"I won't hide it from you, sir..."
Xu Chong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Secret weapon - Greed for light."
The formless clothes must not be exposed, as this concerns Wei Wuxie and the fragments of the cave heaven.
As for the realm, it would be useless to expose it with Dou Tianyuan's words in mind.
I can only use greed for light to reassure Dou Tianyuan.
It’s just right to show off in front of the boss and enhance my presence.
then.
Dou Tianyuan watched Xu Chong disappear from his sight little by little, and his mouth opened wider and wider.
"Secret weapon?!"
"You actually mastered the secret martial arts?!"
"You're a fucking bastard!!!"
Dou Tianyuan pointed at the place where Xu Chong disappeared, speaking incoherently.
"grown ups."
Xu Chong reappeared and said in a very arrogant manner: "With this method, is it possible to return to Zhanghua safely?"
"...I can, of course."
Dou Tianyuan was a little depressed, but he had to admit it.
However, he quickly raised his eyebrows and said, "But why are you wasting your time on other martial arts?! And you even mastered a secret martial art?!"
"???"
Xu Chong was confused.
"Is this Ge Wanshan's trick?"
Dou Tianyuan looked unhappy, "What's there to brag about? If you don't have enough foundation to push other skills, then they are just garbage. You should spend your time on the Wind-Breaking Hand... Think about it, if you already have the Sky-Breaking Hand, why do you still need this thing?"
"Well."
Xu Chong touched his nose.
Dou Tianyuan was right. The Zhefeng Hand skill could be used for stealing, robbing, fighting and escaping. It was truly a panacea.
But Shadow Step isn't much different.
According to his speculation about the panel, the "orthodox method" and "side technique" marked from the beginning may represent unqualified martial arts that cannot be included.
In other words, from the very beginning, the panel confirmed that Zhengyang Jin and Zhefeng Shou would have follow-ups.
Although Shadow Step has not been pushed to the category of side skills for the time being, but since it has been included in the side skills column, it means that its foundation is sufficient and the direction is correct.
"In short, when you return, put everything aside and practice the Wind-Breaking Hand."
Dou Tianyuan glanced at Xu Chong and said, "As for your qualifications, don't worry. I will find a way for you."
Xu Chong felt warm in his heart and saluted with his fists.
"you……"
Dou Tianguan was about to say something, but his expression suddenly changed and he looked in one direction: "What does he want me to do?"
Xu Chong: "Who?"
"Nothing to do with you."
Dou Tianguan stood up and pushed open a door as usual. "Even if you have a secret weapon, be careful on the road. If you die, I won't help you get revenge."
After saying this, he took a step forward and disappeared.
Very neat and clean.
"Farewell, Commander-in-Chief."
Xu Chong clasped his fists.
…
…
The clan house.
Dou Tianyuan looked at the document in front of him, his eyes full of shock.
Sitting opposite him was a hunchbacked old man who looked much older than him, with a white beard that almost dragged to the ground.
The old man was composed and every move he made exuded a hint of dignity.
"You and I are the only ones who know about this right now."
The old man took a sip of tea and said, "I came here to ask you what you think."
"I mean?"
Dou Tianyuan raised his head with difficulty, his eyes still uneasy, "Can my opinion decide this matter?"
"cannot."
The old man shook his head unceremoniously, "But I am willing to refer to it."
Dou Tianyuan remained silent and looked at the old man.
Time passes slowly.
After one stick of incense.
"Then I'll be welcome."
Dou Tianyuan spoke with an inexplicable look in his eyes, "I mean, let's suppress this matter for the time being..."
