Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 195 Cognitive differences cannot be bridged simply by superior martial arts skills.

A fist, white as jade, emerged from the back of the burly man's head. Then, those present realized that before that, a lot of brain matter had already splattered out, spraying everywhere.

This is very much in line with the laws of physics. After all, if such a big fist needs to pass through a person's head, then the original contents of the head must have to be moved.

Seeing the punch that conformed to the laws of physics, Yun Ce's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

As long as a person's behavior conforms to the laws of physics, Yun Ce believes there should be a way to deal with it. The worst case scenario is that the person's actions do not conform to the laws of physics, such as using a flying sword to take someone's head from a thousand miles away, or using some talismans and incantations to kill someone. If that's the case, Yun Ce plans to take his two wives back to Tianzhu Mountain to live as wild men and never come out again.

When one strong man is killed, a group of strong men rush to his aid. This is one of the few things Yun Ce is satisfied with about the Han people. With clear class distinctions, the guards are truly willing to risk their lives to protect their master.

The fact that the first strong man was killed shows that the newcomer posed a threat to the lives of all the noblemen in the restaurant.

Yu Sang killed people very quickly. One moment, all that could be seen was him clenching his fist, and the next, his fist was on the back of a burly man's head. No one could see the process in between, not even Yun Ce.

Speaking of which, Yu Sang was incredibly fast, striking with lightning speed. He took down one burly man with a single punch, and in no time, the fat, burly man's corpse blocked the entire gate.

Yu Sang killed an ordinary strong man with a single punch, and even a master of the Hundred-Man General level was killed by Yu Sang with a single punch, as if the martial arts skills of those three Hundred-Man Generals had been practiced in vain.

Yu Sang casually kicked the burly man's corpse at her feet, and Yun Ce saw the pile of corpses blocking the doorway disperse, as if the twenty-odd burly men had left on their own and each found a comfortable place to lie down again.

Almost the instant Yu Sang kicked out, a hole appeared in the floorboards beneath Yun Ce's buttocks. Yun Ce fell down with the futon, and Yu Sang, who had instantly appeared in front of Yun Ce, reached out to grab him, but collided with Yun Ce's fist. After a muffled "bang," Yun Ce's figure had already disappeared on the third floor.

Yu Sang glared angrily at Yun Ce, who was crashing through the second-floor floorboards and continuing to fall. She flicked her sleeves and then fixed her pale, emotionless gaze on Cao Kun.

Cao Kun's knees went weak, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, holding up a black box with both hands, saying, "Senior, spare my life!"

Yu Sang, who had already raised her hand to kill Cao Kun, paused for a moment, did not strike Cao Kun on the head, and instead took the box.

Press the mechanism on the box, and you'll hear a click. A small window will open at the top of the box, and a beam of green light will fall on Yu Sang's face.

That feeling of being pierced through every limb and bone returned, warm and comforting. Yu Sang closed the lid with satisfaction and asked Cao Kun, who was kneeling on the ground, "Is there more?"

Cao Kun said, trembling, "There are three more boxes, but they are all in Qiuhe Prefecture. If you want them, I will send someone to fetch them as soon as possible on a Xintianyou horse."

Yu Sang's gaze swept across the faces of the nobles, and he sighed softly, "Very well, we have obtained the treasure today, it is not advisable to cause any more bloodshed."

After saying that, he turned and walked away through the main gate.

Once he was sure Yu Sang was gone, Cao Kun's trembling hands couldn't bring himself to put the wine glass he had just picked up to his lips.

Cao Ling picked up the wine jug and poured wine into Cao Kun's mouth like watering a flower. Once Cao Kun had finished the entire jug, he roared, "You beast!"

Yun Ce came to Yujin Pass to confirm two things. The first was to see if Yu Sang had been attracted to him. Now it seems that he has achieved his goal.

The second thing Yun Ce wanted to do was to test the skill of this master through the martial arts of Yu Jin Pass, to see just how skilled he was. Now he saw it, and the master's skill was indeed very high, as high as a mountain, judging from the punch he exchanged with Yu Sang in the rush just now.

If Yu Sang wanted to kill him, she would need to throw at least three punches. The first punch would be blocked by the dragon scales, which would then shatter. The second punch would be blocked by the dog, which would then run away. The third punch would leave a hole in the back of Yun Ce's head.

Yun Ce couldn't understand why Yu Sang was so strong. Just now, he felt like he wasn't exchanging punches with a person, but rather with a jackhammer on a large forging machine. If he hadn't used the force to fall down, his arm bone might have already pierced through the skin at his elbow.

"Dog, help me find out why Yu Sang was able to locate me so accurately."

"You can't look for him. If you hide and he can't find you, do you believe he'll immediately return to the Yun Clan Manor and wreak havoc to force you to show yourself?"

"Never mind, I just need to stay alive."

"Really?"

"It's fake, fucking, I'm just a heartless bastard."

Even at night, the chestnut horse ran as fast as lightning. It was practically flying across the ground. With each hooves landing, its body would leap forward a great distance. To reduce wind resistance, Yun Ce clung tightly to the chestnut horse's back. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had covered a hundred miles.

Even so, the familiar oppressive aura reappeared, and Yun Ce gritted his teeth, urging his chestnut horse to plunge into the dense forest. To prevent Yu Sang from pinpointing his location, Yun Ce had to make the chestnut horse carry him around the forest, constantly changing its position so that Yu Sang couldn't leave the eagle and land to pursue it.

"Ah, you have a fine Thunder Smoke Beast. This Thunder Smoke Beast is full of intelligence and has the potential to become the king of Thunder Smoke Beasts. I must say, you are very lucky."

Based on this alone, you are indeed stronger than Yu Zhu.

Yu Sang's slightly hoarse voice came from above. Yun Ce said as he ran, "So lucky that you're being chased by a senior?"

Yu Sang sighed and said, "Yu Zhu meeting you is his destiny, and you meeting me is your destiny. The two should not be confused."

Yun Ce continued, "I killed Yu Zhu in the midst of battle. If I hadn't killed him, he would have killed me. And for those who go to the battlefield, the key to survival is the sharpness of their blades."

Before this, I had no personal grudge against Yuzhu. It's utterly unreasonable for you to come seeking revenge now.

Yu Sang laughed and said, "The fates of the Guifang and the Han have been intertwined for thousands of years. Hatred is no longer a topic for discussion. Only one of our two races can survive. That is the current reality."

"A master like you should be facing off against a master like Liu Changsheng. Instead, you're chasing after and toying with a junior like me. Aren't you afraid of damaging your lifelong reputation?"

"Hahaha, I have been living in seclusion for many years and no longer care about fame or reputation. After I take your head, it will not be too late to visit Liu Changsheng in Chang'an."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ce heard the sound of a falcon flapping its wings violently in the sky. At the same time, he heard Gouzi shout loudly, "Left, into the water."

The chestnut horse seemed to react even faster than Yun Ce. It turned to the left with light steps, and when the Clear Water River, which was gleaming black in the moonlight, came into view, it leaped into the water.

A man and a horse hid in the water, not daring to show their faces, but struggling to paddle their limbs, hoping to leave the dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Paddle faster. Water is different from air; they are two different substances. I believe that Yu Sang's perception will be greatly reduced in water. If we go further away, he won't be able to perceive anything."

"Dog, is your brain full of shit? This river is no more than two hundred meters wide and no more than ten meters deep. It only goes up and down. They're riding an eagle. How long do you think we can hide?"

Also, our chestnut horses are a combination of human and horse, not fish, so they can't swim underwater for very long.

"I prepared everything for you long ago. Heh heh heh, if it weren't for me, you would all be dead by now."

As two tentacles swept over, a hood appeared on Yun Ce's head. At the same time, another, larger hood was placed on the chestnut horse's face. Two fingers-thick tentacles floated to the surface, continuously supplying air to Yun Ce and the chestnut horse.

A white line suddenly appeared not far to Yun Ce's left. A large fish that was swimming was immediately pierced by the white line. The fish rolled belly up and began to rise to the surface. More white lines appeared around Yun Ce and the chestnut horse.

"The stone that the son of a bitch threw had more kinetic energy than a bullet fired from a gun. In water, once it's more than a meter deep, the bullet has little killing power."

The old man's stones, even at a depth of one and a half meters, can still pierce through large fish. Be careful, dive a little deeper.

The underwater world is full of strange and wonderful things. Yun Ce finally managed to find a boulder with a large hole carved out of its center by the water flow. He hid in the hole with his chestnut horse, thus avoiding the increasingly dense attacks of rocks.

Yu Sang, who was flying over the Qingshui River on his eagle, was really angry. He had thought he could catch a grasshopper easily, but he had spent the whole night trying to catch it.

If I had known, I should have killed him the first time we met.

The moment the thought crossed Yu Sang's mind, he froze, so much so that he stopped throwing the pebbles in his hand. Regret was a negative emotion that shouldn't have been present in someone like him. Yun Ce's death was inevitable; his survival was fate.

This is the way he should view things, given his status and level of cultivation. Why should he regret it?
Before the question arose, a drop of blood fell from his nostril without warning. With his extremely keen senses, Yu Sang raised his hand, caught the drop of blood, and examined it for a long time.

Another drop of blood fell, just as without warning. Yu Sang quickly circulated his internal energy to check his body. He hadn't bled for a very, very long time.

Now, blood kept falling, and in an instant, it gathered into a small lake of blood in his palm.

After introspection, Yu Sang was filled with extreme fear. He couldn't understand why his originally healthy body had begun to decay in such a short time.
