Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 598 Gao Chong: Your Heart Is No Longer on the Gun [3rd Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

During his time in the northern frontier, Luo Yanqing became arrogant.

It should be noted that when Luo Yanqing went to Tokyo to take the martial arts examination, his strength was comparable to that of Yang Zaixing.

Otherwise, the two would not have become sworn brothers.

Later, Yang Zaixing followed Yang Zhi to continue practicing the "Yang Family Spear" technique, while Luo Yanqing became Shi Wengong's disciple and guarded Mozhou.

Luo Yanqing was personally trained in spearmanship by Shi Wengong, and he killed countless Liao soldiers who were raiding for supplies in Mozhou.

He earned the nickname "King of the Southern Spears" through his sword and spear fighting, and considered himself to be outstanding among his brothers.

Having just witnessed Yang Zaixing's five-man run, Luo Yanqing was filled with excitement, feeling that he could do it too.

From the very beginning, he strived to be the first to go, hoping to complete the game alone and enjoy the spotlight!
He knew Gao Chong was a formidable fighter, but so what? He hadn't been a pushover during his time in the northern frontier!
He aims to defeat Gao Chong, Wang Jin, and Zong Ze in a three-on-one battle, and meet his sworn brother Yang Zaixing at the peak!
However, to Luo Yanqing's surprise, he suffered a crushing defeat in the very first match...

Luo Yanqing felt no pain at all.

Gao Chong stopped short of causing trouble; it wasn't difficult for him to do so given his control over power.

However, the psychological damage he caused to Luo Yanqing was too great.

Luo Yanqing stepped aside, his face pale, as if he had lost his soul.

Gao Chong was no psychologist; after defeating Luo Yanqing, he turned his attention to Yu Hualong.

"Second Brother, let's fight!"

"Third brother, I am no match for you in marksmanship."

Yu Hualong spent every day with Gao Chong, so he naturally knew how formidable Gao Chong was.

However, he had one more special skill than Gao Chong, which was the flying stone technique he learned from Qiu Qiongying.

He was already skilled with golden darts, and learning the flying stone technique made him even more formidable.

Patting the brocade pouch at his waist, Yu Hualong said to Gao Chong:

"I have a bag of pebbles here, Third Brother, be careful."

Gao Chong chuckled: "Second Brother, then I won't hold back."

"I will do my best!"

Yu Hualong took out a pebble, held it in his hand, and raised an eyebrow at Gao Chong:
"Third brother, I'm here!"

"Quack! Quack!"

Yu Hualong spurred his horse toward Gao Chong, his spear held straight up as if it might strike at any moment.

But just ten steps away, Yu Hualong suddenly raised his hand and threw a pebble at Gao Chong with lightning speed!
Gao Chong was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, and having been on guard against him for some time, he spotted the pebble immediately.

Moreover, Gao Chong didn't even need to think; his body instincts had already pushed the pebble away with a single shot!
"Whoosh!"

Gao Chong had just brushed aside the pebbles when another one came hurtling straight toward his face!

Without a second thought, Gao Chong flicked the pebble away with his gun, but a third pebble came right after!
Gao Chong quickly brushed aside the third pebble, but Yu Hualong's spear was already aimed at his ribs!
"Second brother, you're so cunning!"

Gao Chong had no time to dodge and reached out to grab the spearhead as easily as taking something out of a bag!

With his left hand, he grabbed Yu Hualong's gun and pulled it into his arms, while at the same time, he thrust the large gun in his right hand at Yu Hualong!
Yu Hualong wasn't as strong as him, so he simply let go of the gun and grabbed Gao Chong's gun barrel instead.

However, to Yu Hualong's surprise, Gao Chong's shot was just a tease.

Just as he was about to grab the spearhead, Gao Chong swiftly withdrew the spear in his right hand, while his left hand thrust Yu Hualong's spear shaft forward!
It struck Yu Hualong's lungs squarely!
Even though Gao Chong showed mercy, this blow almost made Yu Hualong faint!
Then the right-hand gun came right away!

Yu Hualong lost his gun, while Gao Chong had two guns. You can imagine how miserable Yu Hualong was...

A moment later, the gong sounded, and Yu Hualong was covered in a dense array of white spots, numbering about a dozen or twenty!
Gao Chong still has a white spot on his left shoulder blade from the previous match.

Yu Hualong was speechless: "Third brother, how dare you bully your second brother like this?" Gao Chong returned the gun to him, saying matter-of-factly:
"Second brother, I've already shown mercy!"

Yu Hualong was speechless. After all, Gao Chong was telling the truth, but the truth is the most hurtful...

Gao Chong then said, "Actually, Second Brother, you've misunderstood. You shouldn't have only thought about winning by using flying stones."

"Throwing stones are ultimately just an aid; marksmanship is the only true skill!"

Yu Hualong couldn't help but argue, "I didn't intend to win by throwing stones; I just wanted to distract you..."

Gao Chong shook his head: "Then you're even more wrong."

"The flying stones did not distract me, because my heart was always on the gun."

"But the flying stones distracted you; your mind is no longer on the gun."

"hiss--"

Yu Hualong couldn't help but gasp. Gao Chong's two sentences were like a wake-up call to him!
"Is my heart no longer with the gun...?"

Yu Hualong retreated, muttering to himself in a daze. He realized that he had indeed put too much effort into the flying stones.

The more effort one puts into throwing stones, the less effort one puts into marksmanship.

After a while, how can one's marksmanship not become rusty?

In fact, if he hadn't wanted to win by throwing stones from the beginning, but instead used his spear skills to compete with Gao Chong...

Before the retreat is over, even if he's terrible, he should at least leave a white mark on Gao Chong...

Cai Fu also noticed his problem, but since Qiu Qiongying taught him how to throw stones, Cai Fu didn't feel comfortable commenting.

Seeing Yu Hualong's distraught appearance, Cai Fu knew that Gao Chong should have brought Yu Hualong back to his senses.

Indeed, it is true that people cannot teach people, but things can teach people quickly.

Cai Fu has already secured a spot for Yu Hualong to learn shooting from Lu Junyi; it remains to be seen whether Yu Hualong can seize the opportunity.

If things don't go well, Yu Hualong might be the first of the four adopted sons to fall behind...

Luo Yanqing, who was originally very frustrated, saw Yu Hualong covered in white spots and became even more disheartened, so he left.

Seeing Yu Hualong looking distraught and muttering something to himself, Luo Yanqing rallied:
He's not even as good as me!

At the same time, Gao Chong faced off against the last contestant, Zhang Kui.

Zhang Kui was also one of the young generals in white robes and white horse with silver spears. He was already stronger than Yu Hualong, and he became even stronger after becoming Lu Junyi's disciple.

Coincidentally, Luo Yanqing, Yu Hualong, and Zhang Kui were all members of the "Seven Guns" team of Yue Fei's army.

Gao Chong died young at Niutou Mountain because he chose the Iron Chariot right from the start, and was unable to join the "Seven Spears".

Luo Yanqing and Yu Hualong were at the bottom of the "Seven Guns," while Zhang Kui was in the middle.

The strongest of the "Seven Guns" are Lu Wenlong and Zhang Xian.

But Lu Wenlong was still learning to speak.

Zhang Xian was even worse off; he was Yue Fei's son-in-law, and roughly the same age as Yue Yun. Since Yue Fei wasn't married, he naturally hadn't even been born yet…

In other words, Zhang Kui is currently the strongest of the "Seven Guns"!
Zhang Kui raised his headless spear and pointed it at Gao Chong: "Brother Chong, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Gao Chong laughed: "Brother Kui, if you think it's too slow, how about we settle it with one shot?"

Zhang Kui raised his eyebrows: "Best!"
