Chapter 565: One Shot Down
No matter how good your kung fu is, you will be knocked down with one shot.
What Yu Leyang took out was the musket of this world that he made himself based on some theories taught by Ye Zan. The principle of this firearm, compared with the firearms in the technological world, is actually relatively primitive, somewhat similar to the earliest firecrackers, the most basic feature is that the ammunition and ammunition are separated. It's just that the "powder" used in this musket is not the kind of gunpowder similar to the technological world, but uses the power of runes to generate an instant burst of energy, pushing the bullets in the gun out.
In fact, the principle of this musket is more like a toy gas gun in the technological world. The power used by gas guns is combustible gas, which can be natural gas, which is the source of "gas", or other combustible gases. The basic principle is that the gas is first injected into the gas chamber, and then ignited with an electronic lighter. The combustible gas burns in a confined space to produce an explosion effect, and pushes the front warhead out.
Of course, due to issues such as airtightness, whether it is a firecracker or a gas gun, its power cannot be compared with a firearm with integrated ammunition. However, due to Ye Zan's guidance, Yu Leyang's musket basically solved those defects, and its power is similar to the standard pistols in the early days of the technological world.
That is to say, the musket of Yu Leyang, the initial speed of the bullet ejected from the chamber can also reach the speed of three to four hundred meters per second. This kind of speed, in the world of science and technology, almost no one can escape, but in this world of cultivating Taoism, it may not be enough.
If we say that people in this world are familiar with the "hidden weapon" such as muskets. In fact, with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it is possible to avoid musket bullets from a certain distance. However, the distance between Fan Qing and Yu Leyang was not far away, and he rushed over at a very fast speed, coupled with his lack of defense, he was shot by Yu Leyang.
Moreover, unless the musket bullet hits a vital point, the wound it will cause will not be too serious. The bullets used by Yu Leyang are not the kind of dum bullets that will bloom and dig holes, but ordinary pointed bullets. Therefore, the shot hit Fan Qing's lower abdomen, that is, a blood hole was pierced in that lower abdomen. With the medical level of this world, it is not considered a serious injury.
In fact, if Fan Qing was more ruthless, he could have persisted and continued to stab Yu Leyang with his sword, maybe he could kill Yu Leyang by surprise. It's a pity that, out of fear of the unknown, Fan Qing suddenly became confused when he felt the sharp pain in his abdomen, and suddenly his legs became weak and he knelt on the ground.
After falling to his knees, Fan Qing realized that his injury was not as serious as he had imagined, except that he was still in severe pain. However, it was too late to react, he had already lost face in public, he could only look at Yu Leyang bitterly, gritted his teeth and said, "Use a hidden weapon!"
It's very strange, when everyone is fighting for life and death, everyone is using everything to their advantage, but people have developed such a concept that using hidden weapons is despicable.
It is impossible to verify when this concept was developed. Its core idea is probably that "using hidden weapons is a sneak attack while others are not prepared, so it is a despicable and shameless act." But, to be honest, even if two people confront each other face to face, they really only use "upright" swordsmanship. But the one who can win in the end is not because of the moves used, which makes the opponent unable to guard against it?
If it is said that they must use moves that the opponent can defend against, then this kind of confrontation may eventually require a lot of cultivation and physical strength. But the problem is, your cultivation base is higher than the opponent's, or your physical strength is better than the opponent's. Isn't this also the opponent's "defense"?
In fact, 99% of those who accuse the other party of using hidden weapons are so despicable because they have suffered losses from hidden weapons, and they just want to find a high-sounding reason for their failure.
Therefore, even though people have such a concept, there is no special rule that the use of hidden weapons is not allowed in the competitions at the Dao Discussion Conference. After all, all talismans and magic weapons are allowed to be used there, so there is no reason why hidden weapons cannot be used. Moreover, everyone is competing face to face in the arena,
If you are unable to guard against the other party's hidden weapons under such circumstances, then you can only blame yourself for not being capable enough.
"Hidden weapon? Such a loud sound, you call it a hidden weapon?" Yu Leyang said with a musket pointing at the other party with a smile. He also knew that his shot didn't hit the opponent's vitals, which meant that the opponent hadn't completely lost its combat effectiveness, so he didn't get carried away with a single shot.
"You!" Fan Qing's face was very ugly. On the one hand, it was because he couldn't refute the other party, and on the other hand, it was also because of the injury and blood loss.
"Although your injury is not serious, if you don't admit defeat, you will be bleeding to death." Yu Leyang shook the musket in his hand, pointed the muzzle at the opponent's head, and continued: " And, next time, I won't just cum on your stomach."
"I...I admit defeat!" Fan Qing said unwillingly.
Although he, Fan Qing, didn't know what Yu Leyang's hidden weapon was, after all, he had personally experienced it once, and he had some understanding of the power of that hidden weapon. Therefore, he knew very well that if the other party really shot that hidden weapon at his head next time, he would really confess his life here.
And more importantly, as Yu Leyang said, although Fan Qing's injuries were not fatal, they could not be left alone for a long time. Even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm have a much stronger physical body than ordinary people, but they don't have the ability to heal themselves quickly, and they will die if they lose too much blood.
Fan Qing staggered off the stage, and his colleagues next to the ring immediately stepped forward to help him, and checked his abdominal trauma.
Not to mention how Fan Qing dealt with the injury, Yu Leyang, who was standing on the ring, held a musket in his hand and looked at the other people below the ring, and said, "Is there any fellow Taoist who wants to come and compete with me?"
The disciples of various sects who were watching in the audience still don't quite believe the reality in front of them at this moment. They had all seen Fan Qing make a move before, and watched with their own eyes that Fan Qing defeated three opponents one after another at an extremely fast speed. However, no one thought that this was really a turn of events, and Fan Qing himself was instantly defeated in the blink of an eye. Even, many people in the audience didn't see clearly how Fan Qing lost.
Of course, everyone in the audience heard the conversation between Fan Qing and Yu Leyang. Therefore, even if he didn't see anything clearly, he could still guess that the hidden weapon in Fan Qing's mouth must be the strange weapon in Yu Leyang's hand.
"I'm here to learn from fellow Taoists!"
Finally, when Yu Leyang and others were a little impatient, there was a loud shout from the onlookers under the ring. Then, I saw a Ziyang Sect disciple, separated from the left and right onlookers, and rushed to the ring with a stride,
"It turned out to be a fellow Taoist of Ziyang Sect." Yu Leyang said with a smile.
"I'm Li Mingxin of the Ziyang sect!" This Li Mingxin is also quite a thief. After knowing his name and surname, he didn't immediately start a competition with Yu Leyang, but then asked: "This is a fellow Taoist. I don't know if you can introduce to me, this strange magic weapon in the hands of fellow daoist?"
If it's a real life-and-death fight, it's obviously very unrealistic to ask the opponent's hole cards like this. Only fools will leak their bottom cards to the enemy. However, now in this arena, everyone is just discussing each other. If they are tall, they are called "discussion", and if they are ordinary, they are "communication". Since it is communication, it is naturally not too much to ask the other party's means.
For example, some people like to introduce their weapons in detail, from material to weight to length and thickness, and even which famous expert it is from, and what opponent's blood they have "drinked" before the sparring. Although, those who do this are actually trying to pretend to be aggressive, but from another perspective, it can be regarded as a kind of communication.
And Li Mingxin's idea was to let Yu Leyang tell all the mysteries of that strange weapon.
"Hehe, this one..." Yu Leyang is not an idiot either, so he naturally knew what the other party was up to, so he shook the musket in his hand and said, "This thing is called a musket. It is two feet eight inches long and weighs thirty Two catties and six taels, it is made of Taigu Huangshan copper essence as the main material, after a total of 31 processes in 7749 days, it has just been cast and smelted! How about it, this is enough detail."
Just listening to Yu Leyang's description, it seems that the introduction is quite similar, as if he is really introducing some extraordinary weapon. However, there is no useful information in these descriptions. Knowing how long and heavy it is is a fart. What about the ancient Huangshan copper essence? Although copper essence is relatively rare, it is relatively common in the world of monks. It is a very common metal, and any piece can be said to be from the ancient period. As for how many days it took and how many processes were used, it doesn't matter if you know it or not.
Li Mingxin listened to Yu Leyang's introduction, how could he not know that the other party was playing tricks on him, his expression darkened immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "Since fellow daoist Yu doesn't want to tell you, you can just say it bluntly, why bother to tease me and you like this?" Fellow Daoists!"
Although Li Mingxin was unwilling, he knew that there was nothing he could ask, but in the end he did not forget to push Yu Leyang to the opposite side of the public. And his words really worked. The disciples from various sects who were watching were just a little disappointed at first, but after being guided by Li Mingxin, they all felt that they were really being teased by Yu Leyang.
"Li Daoyou, please come down first, let me meet this arrogant person first!" Someone shouted on the ring.
"That's right, it's just a surprise victory with Daoyou Fan with a hidden weapon, and he dared to tease us like this, let's see what his real skills are!" Everyone in the ring was also filled with righteous indignation followed by shouting.
Of course, the disciples of these various sects didn't have a good impression of the people of Yu Qingzong, so they were so easily incited. In fact, what Li Mingxin said was just to give everyone a reason to blatantly yell. After all, everyone is from the orthodox sect, so they can't yell without reason.
"Li Daoyou, you can see that other fellow daoists can't wait any longer. Do you want to compete with me, or you can change to another fellow daoist." Yu Leyang was not irritated by the words of the crowd in the ring, and he still looked relaxed Ask Li Mingxin.
In fact, this musket is in Leyang's place, it's not a big deal, and it's far from being the real trump card. The real trump card in Yu Leyang's hands is the floating cannon that he took out to protect Ye Zan and Xiao Luoli at the "Magic Treasure Hunting Lord" booth. Now this musket is just the first weapon he has successfully made after learning what Ye Zan taught, so it can be regarded as his debut work.
So, even if Yu Leyang really told these people all the information about the musket, it wouldn't have a bad influence on him.
But, why do they want to do what they want? Yu Leyang knew very well that these sects intended to suppress Yu Qingzong, so why bother to cater to them. When friends come, they have good wine, and when wolves come, they have shotguns. Since these people want to deal with Yu Qingzong, it is enough to use muskets to talk to them.
"In that case, I will learn from you!" Li Ming said bitterly. Although there is no problem, it is impossible to jump off the ring and replace someone else as others said, that would be too embarrassing. Moreover, as a challenger, if he stepped on stage and then stepped down, even if he didn't make a move, it would be regarded as admitting defeat.
However, with Fan Qing's example before, Li Mingxin felt that as long as he was careful and guarded against the opponent's strange hidden weapon, he might not be unable to win the opponent. Since the opponent relies so much on this hidden weapon, then his own strength may be weak, after all, he is just an inner disciple.
After the two sides saluted, Li Mingxin did not go forward to attack, but walked around Yu Leyang very vigilantly with his sword, looking for an opportunity to attack.
On Leyang's side, seeing Li Mingxin circling around him, after two or three laps, he finally got a little impatient, and thought to himself: I didn't want to use this trick at first, but since you want to play like this, then let you do it too. Come try something new!
Thinking of this, Yu Leyang gently moved a mechanism on the musket with one finger in the hand holding the musket.
Yu Leyang's movements were very small, just a movement of his fingers, and no one in the ring noticed this at all. However, Li Mingxin obviously has some strength. After all, he is a direct disciple taught by the master, and he is very keenly aware of Yu Leyang's action. However, just because he noticed the movement, it didn't mean he knew what Yu Leyang was going to do, he just thought it might be an opportunity.
After all, according to common sense, when the two sides are in a stalemate, a person making such a small move is either distracted or a prelude to an attack. Regardless of whether it is distracted or about to launch an attack, it all means that the opponent's situation has changed, which often gives the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.
Li Mingxin's figure flickered suddenly, and he drew an arc trajectory, intending to attack Yu Leyang from the side. He also knew that the iron rod in Yu Leyang's hand would shoot out hidden weapons from the front, so as long as he avoided the direction of the iron rod, he should be safe.
"boom!"
Almost at the same time as Li Mingxin launched an attack, another explosion sounded on the ring.
