Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 117 Jiang Yu's Trump Card for Donghuang Taiyi

After leaving Zilanxuan, Jiang Yu went to Wangzhuang to find out what was going on.

Wangzhuang, which was originally somewhat desolate and had few farmers, has been developing into a village and town thanks to the enslavement of the Baiyue people and the continuous influx of refugees from the Seven Absolutes Hall.

"Son!"

Some of the early refugees who were taken in recognized Jiang Yu and bowed to her in gratitude, just as they had done in Dongjun.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to quicken her pace and finally arrived at a workshop, where the clanging and banging of metal being hammered could be heard incessantly.

Among the workers, the most eye-catching figure was Wushuang Gui's giant-like form, with an old man beside him instructing him on how to forge iron.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Yu watched the two finish their work and then called out:
"Peerless Ghost".

Upon hearing the greeting, Wushuang Gui quickly turned around, only to see Jiang Yu point two fingers together, and a sword aura pierced towards him at such a speed that Wushuang Gui had no time to dodge.

"Qiang!"

However, when the sword energy struck Wushuang Gui, it produced a metallic clanging sound and failed to break through Wushuang Gui's defense.

"Attack me with all your might!"

Jiang Yu nodded slightly and said, "We've tested the defense; now it's time to test the Peerless Ghost's combat power."

Upon hearing this, the simple-minded Wushuang Gui did not hesitate at all and charged directly towards Jiang Yu. Every step he took caused the earth to tremble, making him seem like a savage beast.

"boom!"

Once he closed the distance with Jiang Yu, Wushuang Gui slammed his feet into the ground, transforming into a cannonball that shot into the sky.

"Buzz!"

Wushuang Gui clenched his fists in mid-air, and another powerful burst of energy erupted, making his aura even more violent and terrifying.

This is precisely the result of the technique that Jiang Yu passed on to Wushuang Gui.

After Wushuang Gui leaped to its highest point, its two fists, as big as iron hammers, slammed down heavily on Jiang Yu with the force of Mount Tai.

Faced with the terrifying attack from Wushuang Gui, Jiang Yu not only did not dodge or evade, but also did not draw his sword. He simply raised his sword with one hand to block.

"boom!"

The Peerless Ghost's heavy fists slammed into Jiang Yu's sword, and Jiang Yu's body and even the raised sword didn't budge.

"Not bad!"

Jiang Yu nodded in satisfaction. The reason he was able to so easily withstand Wushuang Gui's attack was not because Wushuang Gui's attack was merely for show, but simply because Jiang Yu was strong enough.

For example, if it were Wei Zhuang instead, he wouldn't be a meat pie, but he would at least be seriously injured.

Of course, Wei Zhuang wouldn't be foolish enough to take a direct hit from Wushuang Gui's full-force attack.

This is the weakness of the Peerless Demon: its attack power is explosive, but its speed is one or even two orders of magnitude slower than its attack power.

The reason why there is such a big difference between Wushuang Gui's attack power and speed is not because the technique given by Jiang Yu is flawed, but because Wushuang Gui has not been practicing for long enough and his skill is still shallow.

In fact, with the enhancement of his cultivation technique, Wushuang Gui's attack power has increased by nearly 50% compared to when he attacked Jiang Yu that night.

Such great progress in such a short time is a testament to Musou's talent.

All I can say is that Tianze, this useless crown prince, truly lives up to his name. If Wushuang Gui had followed Jiang Yu for ten years earlier, he would definitely have been able to easily defeat Wei Zhuang.

Yes, it's Wei Zhuang again. Who can blame him when Wei Zhuang is now the benchmark for measuring Jiang Yu's combat strength?

"Buzz!"

As Jiang Yu regained her composure, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from her body, causing Wushuang Gui's figure to stagger backward.

"Young Master's divine might is invincible!"

The old man who had previously directed the unparalleled ghost to forge iron came over.

"Is there a problem with the forging of the sword?"

Jiang Yu casually asked a question.

The old man's surname was Ou. He was the chief swordsmith of the Korean court whom Honglian had found. He was the real deal, not the "chief swordsmith" she had used to fool Honglian before. He was even said to be a descendant of Ou Yezi. As for why he was so enthusiastic towards Jiang Yu, it was mainly because Jiang Yu had previously dumped all the memories related to steelmaking from her past life onto him and asked him to study them.

Although Jiang Yu only had a superficial understanding of steelmaking techniques and couldn't compare to his expertise in medicine, he at least provided Old Man Ou with a clear path, enough to drive Old Man Ou crazy.

"no problem."

Old Man Ou was full of confidence because it was just a finely crafted sword; apart from being extremely time-consuming, it wasn't difficult to use.

Therefore, he patted his chest and assured Jiang Yu:

"Rest assured, young master, I will definitely complete it on time."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Yu left the workshop and then came to a training ground where about a hundred people were training hard and sweating profusely.

This can be said to be Jiang Yu's true purpose in coming to Wangzhuang.

"Emergency gathering!"

Upon seeing Jiang Yu arrive, the two village chiefs immediately ordered a halt to drills and an emergency assembly.

This small unit was organized into groups of five men per squad, ten men per platoon, fifty men per garrison, and one hundred men per general.

The general who commanded this army was none other than the peerless ghost whom Jiang Yu had just tested.

After a period of training, this small unit had achieved some success and quickly assembled, carrying a flag with the symbol "Kun" to represent the Earth.

Earth Camp!
"let's start."

Jiang Yu said calmly.

"Yes!"

A hundred people shouted in unison, their voices like thunderclaps, and then a surge of internal energy appeared within them.

Although the force was very weak, the internal energy emitted by the hundred people did not collide when they came into contact with each other; instead, it merged together.

"boom!"

The combined strength of a hundred people, though small, manifested as array patterns, and a terrifying military might spread out.

Standing on the reviewing stand, Jiang Yu suddenly felt a heavy pressure on her, which slowed down her movements.

In the anime, Bai Yifei brought in special soldiers who could condense and throw ice spears to besiege Tianze. As a descendant of Taigong, Jiang Yu naturally knew how to do it, but there weren't enough people to let Jiang Yu show it off before.

Or rather, the sailors that Jiang Yu usually summons are no different from these special soldiers. The only difference is that the sailors that Jiang Yu summons need to be supplied by Jiang Yu alone for combat.

Isn't Musou Oni ​​slow? With the help of the Earth-class battalion, which can create a gravitational field and slow down opponents, his terrifying attack power can be maximized.

After adjusting to the heavy pressure on her body for a while, Jiang Yu quickly formed hand seals, and sailors rapidly materialized.

The banner is “Kan Shui”, and the camp is named after the character “Shui”.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a suitable candidate, Jiang Yu would definitely like to have more of these special soldiers. Anyway, he has money now and can afford to support them.

If he could gather ten battalions, and with his Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), Jiang Yu felt he could even challenge the mysterious Donghuang Taiyi.

Jiang Yu thought this way naturally because of Dongjun.

Jiang Yu's first priority is to guard against Donghuang Taiyi's possible attempt to separate the couple.

Secondly, as Dongjun mentioned earlier, if changing the Yin-Yang School angers Donghuang Taiyi, Jiang Yu will need the power to protect his wife.

Jiang Yu had no desire to become like Yan Dan, causing Dong Jun to be imprisoned.

It's unrealistic to expect to catch up with Donghuang Taiyi in terms of strength in a short time; training troops is a faster way to achieve that.

Jiang Yu, now focused, turned her attention to the field.

The Earth Battalion clashed with the Water Battalion they had assembled, and the scene was quite reminiscent of a celestial army.
