"Don't we have an incendiary gun that's powered entirely by torches?"

Shangluo remembered that Wen Yuan liked to use that model very much. The warhead and propellant of that thing were packaged separately, and the ammunition was fired with an external torch fuel tank, or the torch after energy concentration could be directly fired in the form of light.

In Shangluo's opinion, the gun was very flexible. First of all, the amount of live ammunition carried could be doubled, so it could be fired as easily as pouring water. After firing the live ammunition, if the user had a profound control over the spiritual energy fuel, there should be more than half of the torch element left. This meant that not only the live ammunition was doubled, but also another portion of energy weapon ammunition was available.

"Incendiary gun? That's the thing that the ignorant kid likes to use. I don't need it." Lu Huaiyang put the safety on the gun and put it on his shoulder. "That kid is as slow-tempered as his father. He always wants to torture me bit by bit. He is willing to risk his life, so how can he have the time to spray water out of the tubes? Is he playing with a water gun? I always tell him that he is delving too deeply into the 'skills', but it is ultimately an unorthodox path. He also intends to extract some principles from this. Does he want to become a sniper immortal?"

"Then you."

"With the Torch, of course we have to shoot it all out as quickly as possible, and the best way is of course the Bolt Gun. It can also blow Xu Fu's head off with one shot. He pulls the trigger once a second, one shot at a time. I pull the trigger for one second and shoot a long burst to empty the Torch. Even a stone head can be blown into popcorn. Aim and you'll get it. As long as you hit it, it doesn't matter where you shoot. If one round doesn't kill him, just reload and shoot another round."

The cigar-sized bullets were loaded into the big gun, and the surging fuel was surging in the plain gun body. Although Lu Huaiyang's cultivation had not yet reached the foundation-building stage, his burst speed in a short period of time would not be much slower than Fu Yuanshan, and the bullets would hit every target fairly.

If he and Lu Huaiyang drew their guns at the same time, it would be hard to say who was faster - of course, whether the bullets could hit the other party was another matter. With the help of the power of wind and thunder, the outcome of the two sides was not a big deal.

"By the way." Shangluo suddenly asked, "I haven't asked this yet, and I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this."

"Ask. Anything you want."

"Captain Lu, who is better, you or Senior Fu?"

"Of course he is amazing, he is a god."

"I mean, if you two were to fight, who would win?"

"So that's what you're asking? That's hard to say." Lu Huaiyang replied, "Although magic power is important, martial arts is also important in a fight."

"So you are sure you can fight him?"

"I say that it depends on the situation. You have to know that General Fu is not from the Jinyiwei, he is a monk hired from outside. In other words, he has never been tempered in martial arts. He can't do anything except hammering steel nails - of course, in 95% of the cases, knowing this one move is enough."

"Then how are you going to beat him?"

"Let me explain to you the most basic martial arts." Lu Huaiyang stood in an empty space in the room and assumed a seemingly relaxed stance—bent over, neck tucked in, chest tucked in, legs bent, arms wrapped and elbows hanging. This posture didn't seem to involve sinking the Qi into the Dantian, nor did it even lift the chest and abdomen.

However, once he made this pose, his entire figure began to wander in Shangluo's eyes. He seemed to be motionless, but he had a tendency to move in eight directions. His elbow at his waist had already been clasped on the pistol that had just been inserted into the holster.

[This is... Wait! I recognized it! This is the Baguazhang stance! But he is using a gun? ]

"Shangluo, there are only three steps between us now. Within three steps, do you want to see who is faster in casting a spell or me drawing a gun?"

Shangluo said nothing, and suddenly turned into black mist, and then condensed into the posture of the Sword King. When the black mist gathered, when he revealed his figure, Lu Huaiyang drew his gun with lightning speed - at the same time, the Sword King's sword had already chopped his shoulder.

However, Lu Huaiyang's body turned strangely at an angle, and then he raised his gun.

Different from all other gun-holding postures, he didn't even use his eyes to look, nor did he use the crosshairs at all. Instead, he just fixed the muzzle of the gun on his waist and shot.

The pistol was not set to full-automatic fire, but three rounds in rapid succession. However, the ingenious design made the three bullets come out of the chamber almost at the same time, in rapid succession.

Shangluo did not react, but the Sword King's Sword's instinct blocked the bullet for him. The 15mm tungsten armor-piercing bullet that was bounced off directly penetrated the cabin wall and hit the armor plate on the side of the ship.

However, Lu Huaiyang did not stop. His chest-bent and leg-bent posture prevented all joints from being locked. He used the linkage of his hips, thighs, and calves to control the muzzle of the gun to deflect to a small and precise angle with a series of muscles. Although the sword of the Forest King was already magic, physically speaking, adjusting the angle of the muzzle was of course faster than swinging the sword. And since Lu Huaiyang had already mobilized his true energy, there was no decisive difference in speed between him and the Forest King. The pistol once again took the lead in attacking, this time aiming at the farthest end that the sword could block, which was also the area where the sword would not have time to return to defend.

However, the magic of the sword once again showed its power. The sword surpassed the physical fitness of the Forest King in this form, surpassed everything that the naked eye could see, and directly blocked the bullet's path - three clang clang clangs, and the bullet was blocked again.

At that moment, Lu Huaiyang was also stunned. He didn't see clearly how the sword blocked the bullet.

However, immediately afterwards, a crisp sound of breaking exploded from the sword - and the bullets driven by the torch element fired one after another, and three bullets hit almost the same point. The area hit by the gun actually had glass-like cracks.

[Wow! Sword! How come your sword is broken! ]

Lu Huaiyang also noticed the sword breaking. But his instinctive reaction did not make him stop, instead he took a step back and shot again. Shangluo did not think much about it and directly dispelled the broken Forest King Sword——

With a clang, a big turtle shell smashed between the two people.

Chapter 1178 Martial Arts

Three more shots. Golden runes appeared on the turtle shell, and the bullets were all deflected.

"what!!!!"

Before Gui Ji could react, Shang Luo put away the tortoise shield again. Behind the tortoise shield, Shang Luo had already turned into a ball of black gas, and in the black gas there was a sharp edge like an embroidery needle poking out from behind the shield.

"Stop!" Lu Huaiyang took a step back and dodged the stab from behind the shield. "You win."

"Huh" Shangluo breathed a sigh of relief. Although it seemed that Lu Huaiyang could still fight, the other party's initiative to stop made him feel relieved.

He also felt the meaning of "martial arts". Lu Huaiyang's control of weapons was already superb, and his cultivation was completely integrated into his posture. The seemingly loose posture actually allowed him to shoot at an unimaginable speed, and he could dodge at close range while shooting, and he could shoot again while dodging without messing up the muzzle.

This set of postures combines immortal techniques and Baguazhang, and the posture of using the waist and hips to exert force is actually somewhat similar to the big spear in the battle formation. This is simply a spear technique specially prepared for close combat.

"I can't break your shield-piercing move because this spear can't penetrate your shield."

"So Captain Lu, what moves did you use just now?" Shang Luo asked.

"To be more polite, it's called the Jinmen style of play, or the Songjiang style of play. In fact, it can be called the Caobang style of play."

"Huh? What is this?"

"This was developed by martial arts masters from Tianjin and Songjiang during a fight between Cao Gangs. It combines the footwork of Baguazhang with a close-range gunfighting technique, and is specifically designed for close-range shooting indoors or in other confined spaces. After learning the Baguazhang stance, one has a gunfighting technique of the immortal level. This gun technique also extends to the submachine gun style, which allows for continuous firing while swinging left and right. However, a pistol is no different."

"So this is martial arts?"

Shangluo could feel that Lu Huaiyang's cultivation was indeed inferior to his. His fierce attacks could be blocked by Shangluo's emergency measures that exceeded his physical limitations. Even if Shangluo himself could not react, he had sufficient resources to actively defend for him.

Although it caused a small price, Shangluo's attention was now completely on Lu Huaiyang's martial arts - his mastery of weapons far exceeded Shangluo's own, which was the experience gained through thousands of trials in Taoism and actual combat. And using this experience, he could break through Shangluo's defense to a certain extent in the special environment within 3 steps.

If this battle continues, or if there is more than one Lu Huaiyang, Shangluo will probably have to use more magic weapons to resist in this duel.

Now Fu Yuanshan Shangluo was really unsure whether he could block it. Although Fu Yuanshan had good luck, to block such a shooting, the luck he would have to consume would probably shorten his life span.

"Oh, right." Lu Huaiyang thought of the sword: "Shangluo, is your sword okay?"

"It's probably broken - but the quality of that sword wasn't good to begin with, it's just an epic weapon. I have a lot of good swords, so I don't need that one."

"If necessary, I can get you one from the Royal Guards. What sword do you want?"

"Eh? Can I have one?"

"Why not? Jinyiwei's things are also Heaven's things. It's just that it's best to return them after use, because those swords usually have other uses."

"Actually, no. Really not. But there is one thing I want to ask: Lu Qianhu! Can you teach me your moves? I also want to learn gun fighting!"

"You want to learn this?" Lu Huaiyang was stunned for a moment. "It's just a trivial skill. I suggest you learn Baguazhang directly, and then you will naturally learn similar pistol and submachine gun skills."

"So, where can I learn it?"

"Of course it's Wudang Mountain. If you want to learn, you can ask Lu Liang to teach you. She is a registered disciple of Wudang and is a disciple of Master Jinghai. But you don't have to learn from her, right? You can go directly to Master Zhang to learn."

"Master Zhang, how can you use a submachine gun? I want to learn something more fashionable."

five minutes.

"This is the situation." Lu Liang stood in front of Shang Luo. "How should I put it? I suddenly remembered the first time we met. At that time, you were not yet a celestial being, and I was not yet a qigong practitioner. We could fight each other for a few moves. Now, I feel that I can aim a gun at you within three steps. Should we practice first?"

"No, no, no, your father has already beaten you. I want to learn now."

"Well, my dad also went to Wudang to learn, so he knows these. But his Baguazhang is half-baked. He learned Baguazhang just to learn gun fighting. If he can lose face, I think it would be better for him to go to the Cao Gang to learn it on the spot. If you learn from me, then I will teach you the real Baguazhang. As long as you can master it, pistols, submachine guns, rocket launchers and so on will be no problem."

"Why are there more rocket launchers?"

"Because it's powerful! Who doesn't want a bazooka? Oh, by the way, I just asked my master."

"What did Master Jinghai say?"

"She said that it's not allowed to teach ordinary people casually. But you are not an ordinary person, so you should learn if you can. She said that my martial arts attainments are certainly enough to teach you. There is a small problem here - do you want to learn now? Aren't we going to deal with Xu Fu's matter soon?"

"To be honest, I felt it was a bit dangerous, so I wanted to find some convenient ways to defend myself in close quarters. Within three steps, the gun is really accurate and fast. I think if Xu Fu dares to lie to me, I'd better pull the trigger directly at his head within three steps."

"So, can you learn it? In such a short time?"

"I'm afraid it's hard to actually learn it - but I can record your movements."

"Eh? What? You want to become me? Wow, that's so exciting."

[Wow! Why didn't I think of that! You're going to find another girl to transform into, right?]

"No, no, no, you are mistaken. I don't want to become you - I mean, can I obtain the authority to access the incarnation of Wudang's fighting skills with your consent?"

"Ah, so you don't want to study, you want to burn it, right? Wait a minute."

Lu Liang picked up the phone, dialed her master's number, and immediately received a reply:

"My master said that others can't do it. But Tianshi Sanfeng has become your martial arts master, so of course the Wudang martial arts are open to you. Ah, I'm a little embarrassed to be asked to record for you on behalf of Wudang. In short, if I want to record the whole thing, I think I definitely have a lot of shortcomings. But if you want to record the gun fighting part, it's not impossible."

"You want to demonstrate?"

"No, the information has been sent to your phone. Didn't Sanfeng Tianshi give you a piece of light silver at that time? My master said that you can use your phone to load it, and then the 'demo' will automatically appear. I haven't seen it either, it seems to be something amazing."

Chapter 1179 Matter, Energy, Information

“So it can be used like this.”

Simply and effectively, Shangluo loaded the "program" sent from Wudang. Lu Liang was also watching.

What came as no surprise to Shangluo was that, as a major martial arts sect, the way Wudang taught martial arts was surprisingly very fashionable - even more fashionable than the Unspeakable Sword Immortal Sect, and this was actually a "format" that Shangluo could directly apply.

The silver light silver was drawn by Shangluo. After loading the information sent, the light silver danced wildly in the air like a silver snake, twisting into various indescribable complex shapes. Those shapes were not laid out on a plane, but were multi-layered figures drawn with one stroke, with lines overlapping each other, and each layer had its own domain. If one layer was incomprehensible, Shangluo certainly couldn't understand them all stacked together.

【Oh, so that's how it is.】

"What is this? Isn't this a martial arts secret manual?"

[It is indeed a secret book. But since it is called a secret book, it can only be understood but not expressed in words. In other words, it is the same unspeakable mystery as "Taiyi Jinhua". In theory, this is an unspeakable riddle, but Tianyi Guiren also uses "riddles" to communicate, so this can be understood. ]

"But still can't deliver the message?"

[Yes. You have discovered the most important element: this is information that can only be transmitted in an encrypted state. This is somewhat similar to a magic book that can only be read once, or many of the Roman mysteries - these mysteries are auras, and any disclosure of auras during the transmission process will cause the loss of its transmission effect. If someone fully understands it, then the aura will end here. So the aura must be transmitted in an encrypted state. ]

"So the information here, like the objects, cannot be copied?"

【That's the secret. In theory, matter, energy, and information can all be harmoniously unified. This mysterious information cannot be interpreted by conventional means, just like a strong light is difficult to see directly with the naked eye. It is appropriate to understand it as an object that cannot be copied at will. So Wudang did not just pick up a book from the warehouse and give it to you, but passed on a secret to you - by the way, this is the first time I have seen you have such a deep understanding of the mystery. What is this?】

"This is Qi." Lu Liang, who had watched the whole process, replied, "What you just saw was actually the transmission of 'Qi'."

The Dao League has five mysterious sects, namely Taiji Sect, Danding Sect, Xuanzhen Sect, Jianxian Sect and Fuzhuan Sect, which are respectively the sects of Qi Cultivation, Dan Cultivation, Xuan Cultivation, Jian Cultivation and Lei Cultivation. Among them, the head of Taiji Sect, which is also the sect of Qi Cultivation, is Wudang.

However, similar to other sects, Wudang does not only cultivate Qi, but Qi and sword are cultivated together, which are mutually complementary. Martial arts are an extension of Qi, and Qi is the root of martial arts.

"So this is the Wudang method of passing on power." Lu Liang replied, "So you have to see if you can remember what Wudang taught you - remembering it is useless. And when you forget everything, it means that you have successfully refined this energy."

"So chi is. information?"

"It may not be information in the usual sense, but you can understand it this way." Lu Liang replied, "These qi are neither matter nor energy, but a form between the two that can be transformed into each other - it is not wrong to call it information. But we usually just call it 'qi'. Oh, right."

Lu Liang gestured on the table. "Although it's commonly written as 'qi' nowadays, don't understand it as the 'qi' of gas. The correct way to write it is 'qi', which means 'qi', which gives birth to all things. It's pronounced the same as 'qi', but the meaning is different. Writing it this way can eliminate the ambiguity of 'qi'. However, the form of writing is not important; what is important is understanding."

"Ah, I seem to understand, but I also seem not to understand."

"Why don't you tell me what you 'seem' to understand?"

"For example, energy - although energy is easy to understand, can I really see energy? Maybe I can see the manifestation of energy, such as light. But what I see is not the energy itself, but the light it emits. I think that the eyes of the material world may only see the tip of the iceberg of energy and information in the material world. Tianyi Guiren is not in the material world, so they can understand all the information - this is my guess.

"Similarly, is electricity energy? Of course not, but electricity is only a manifestation of energy, a 'phenomenon' exhibited by electrical energy. We can only use the invisible and intangible 'energy' through these phenomena. As far as information is concerned, perhaps it is precisely because they are in a different position from us, they are in the world of information - the world of symbols, so it is so difficult for them to communicate directly with us. Because they can only show the tip of the iceberg of consciousness to the material world."

"Hmm," Lu Liang nodded, "It makes sense, but I don't understand. Different trades are like different worlds. I don't know anything about Tianyi Guiren or anything like that. But I do know a little bit about these qi."

"So, it can be used like this?"

"Yes, it can be used now. Because it was Tianyi Guiren who learned it for you, so they can use it for you too."

"Wait, if I perform sword techniques, won't that generate new chi as well?"

"Yes." Lu Liang said as if it was a matter of course, "If you learn sword, of course you have to use sword energy to hurt people. That's how sword energy comes from. It relies on the sword energy in your chest, and then transforms it into energy to hurt people."

"Wouldn't that be a lesson for others?"

"That's different. I'm my father's daughter, so am I the same as my father? Of course not. The sword moves you use are your understanding and imitation of sword skills, so the sword energy you generate is of course different from the original sword energy. This is why great masters like Sanfeng Tianshi are so important, because the longer the chain of information dissemination, the more distorted it is. The energy that we, his disciples, have learned must be very different from Sanfeng Tianshi's own energy. And you..."

"Then this couldn't be left by Tianshi Sanfeng himself, right?"

"Logically speaking, no." Lu Liang replied, "Just like a battery has capacity, information also needs a carrier to be transmitted. The carrier sent before seems to be too sloppy. It can't contain the sword energy of Sanfeng Tianshi - how about giving it a try? Since Tianyi Guiren has learned it, you can use it too."

"I'll give it a try." Shangluo still transformed into the Forest King as before - Shangluo now tried not to use his original body to fight, which was the safest way, both for others and for himself.

If he used his original body here, he didn't know what the sword energy he transformed would look like. But the incarnation could show it exactly as it was.
