Being Equal
When God was about to bestow a great responsibility on a man, he would suffer several setbacks first. Qin Sheng could only comfort himself in this way. However, it was impossible for him to accept his fate. If he had accepted his fate, he would have died in the previous disasters. Because he refused to accept his fate, he could hold on until now. Therefore, he would still fight for it this time.
For him, as long as he was alive, he would make it.
At this moment, Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang were running for their lives in the icy river. Fortunately, this was a small tributary, and the water level was low, so the river was relatively smooth. If it was summer, people who were not good at swimming would probably get into trouble.
Behind Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang, Feng He, Gu Xiaobo, and the other six masters were chasing them. Qin Sheng was good at swimming. When he was a child at the foot of Zhongnan Mountains, he often practiced in the reservoir lake. His grandfather said that if he learned more skills, he would have more assurance in the future. Today, it finally came in handy.
Gu Qingyang was not good at swimming, but some of the people behind him were not good at swimming. Only three people were chasing them closely. Therefore, after Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang went ashore, they directly rushed into the shelter forest on the opposite side, followed by the three men. Feng He and Gu Xiaobo arrived later, and the other two men were late. They did not go ashore until Feng He and Gu Xiaobo entered the shelter forest.
When they were about to follow them, Zhuang Zhou and Nangong had already gone ashore. They looked at each other and nodded. After communicating with their eyes, they confirmed each other's target. Then they rushed forward.
The two men did not expect that there would be other people, especially their enemies. They were exhausted in the water, so they were not vigilant. Therefore, Zhuang Zhou and Nangong had a chance.
When they sensed the danger behind them, Zhuang Zhou and Nangong had already arrived in front of them. Zhuang Zhou and Nangong were so powerful that only a big shot like Chu Sikong could escape unscathed in such a situation. Even if Feng He was present, he would also be in danger. Therefore, even if they were masters, they could not reach the level of Chu Sikong and Feng He.
Zhuang Zhou took advantage of the situation and advanced. It was unknown whether he had calculated which direction the man would turn in or whether it was luck, but Zhuang Zhou threw a hook at the man's armpit and hit the man's chin. The man was stunned and lost two teeth. His mouth was full of blood. Before he could come back to his senses, Zhuang Zhou grabbed him by the neck and knocked him out with his knee. His face was unrecognizable.
Dying before achieving victory, the hero's robes are filled with tears. This guy had met the big boss, Zhuang Zhou, before he had even fought with Qin Sheng. He had been defeated in one move. This should be the first time in his life. When he wakes up, he will probably reflect on himself and learn to swim well in the future. This way, he will not fall behind, and he will not meet Zhuang Zhou.
Compared to him, the guy next to him was not worse off, because his opponent was a woman. Hidden under Nangong's beautiful appearance was an ice-cold killing intent. Don't think that all beauties were delicate and weak. Sometimes, this was just an advantage to numb the opponent. When you were feeling tender and protective towards the fairer sex, a beauty would give you a fatal blow. Nangong was like that.
With a run-up, she leaped easily and wrapped her legs around the man's neck. Using inertia and momentum, she used Death Coil to pin the man to the ground. Then, she threw two consecutive punches, each one landing on the back of the man's head. The man didn't even see who his opponent was before his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Nangong smiled innocently and said, "Done."
Zhuang Zhou nodded at her. Of course, he believed in Nangong's strength. This woman was not easy to deal with. Zhuang Zhou did not dare to waste any more time. He said in a low voice, "Go after her."
Then they rushed into the protective forest. Next, it was a game of cat and mouse …
At this time, on the other side of the river, the fight between Chang Baji and Chu Sikong had completely broken out. It was unknown whether Chang Baji and Chu Sikong had hidden their strength or they were evenly matched. So far, both of them had a winner and a loser, and neither of them could kill the other. After all, at this level, the disparity of strength was not very big. Unless the other revealed a fatal flaw, it was possible to kill the other with one strike.
Chu Sikong and Chang Baji were probing each other when they fought at the beginning. Chu Sikong belonged to the southern martial arts school, which emphasized on abrupt force and speed. To put it simply, he was a master of techniques. His Wing Chun Kung Fu had been perfected. Coupled with his unknown leg movements, Chang Baji felt a lot of pressure. Chang Baji suffered a lot and his shoulders were a little sore now. However, Chang Baji belonged to the northern school, which emphasized on big movements and strength. Every time he fought, he was like a fierce tiger coming down from the mountain. Chu Sikong did not dare to confront him directly, because he would be at a disadvantage if he did. Even so, there were two times when Chang Baji failed to make a good judgment, and Chu Sikong's ribs were hit hard.
"Chang Baji, you deserve your reputation. Awesome, awesome." Chu Sikong was a man who respected all his opponents. Moreover, Chang Baji's strength was really not simple. He was amazed by Chang Baji's reverse waist punch.
At this moment, Chang Baji was more stressed than Chu Sikong, because Chu Sikong did not have other burdens. Chang Baji had to worry about Qin Sheng and Chu Sikong. Obviously, Qin Sheng had been in danger. Chang Baji did not know whether he was alive or not, so he was a little anxious.
"Mr. Chu, you are also awesome. Yangtze River Delta is indeed a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons." Chang Baji squinted and responded. Chu Sikong's pressure just now made him feel stressed, and his arms were still a little painful.
Chu Sikong did not seem to be in a hurry. He asked, "May I know which school you learned Baji Boxing and Eight Trigrams Palm from?"
"I am not talented and weak, so I dare not say my master's name. I am afraid that I will make a fool of him." Chang Baji said perfunctorily. This was not a lie. When they went out, they could never say their master's name, because it was very likely to disturb their master's cultivation.
Chu Sikong laughed and said, "You are really modest. If you are not qualified, I really can't imagine how many people are better than you."
Chang Baji sneered and said, "Mr. Chu, are you buying time?"
"I, Chu Sikong, will not do that. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with me. Today, I just want to fight with you. "Chu Sikong said disapprovingly. He really thought so. Without so many conspiracies, he did not care about Qin Sheng's life or death. Even if Qin Sheng ran away, it had nothing to do with him.
Chang Baji said angrily, "Then let's fight again."
Before Chang Baji finished his words, he had already attacked again. He had to defeat Chu Sikong in the shortest time, because he really could not afford to waste time. Chu Sikong was eager to have a try. He was waiting for Chang Baji. Today, he really let Chang Baji fight to his heart's content. It was estimated that he would not have such a chance in a short time.
When Chang Baji was half a meter away from Chu Sikong, he threw a Unloading Chopping Punch at Chu Sikong's head. Chu Sikong dodged it decisively. However, Chang Baji's move was a feint. He lifted his knee and hit Chu Sikong's waist. Chu Sikong hurriedly used his hands to block Chang Baji's knee and then pushed it out with One-Inch Force. He could not let Chang Baji control the rhythm. Instead, he had to control the rhythm.
When Chang Baji stepped back, Chu Sikong immediately kicked Chang Baji's right leg. Chang Baji immediately blocked it with his foot. The two of them fought back and forth for this territory for several rounds.
Seeing that he still could not take advantage of Chang Baji, Chu Sikong immediately changed his way of fighting. He suddenly threw a punch at Chang Baji's neck artery. Chang Baji stretched out his hand to block it. Chu Sikong was not in a hurry. He started his Wing Chun routine. Chang Baji began to fall into Chu Sikong's rhythm.
Of course, Chang Baji would not allow it. He could only deal with Chu Sikong by hurting himself at the same time, because Chu Sikong was faster and Chang Baji was stronger.
Therefore, when Chu Sikong punched Chang Baji's right shoulder, Chang Baji took the opportunity to dodge sideways. Chu Sikong kicked Chang Baji. Originally, Chang Baji had thought that Chang Baji would dodge the kick. However, Chang Baji used his whole body as a weapon. He exerted force on one leg and leaned forward, directly bumping into Chu Sikong. Chu Sikong already felt that something was wrong. However, it was too late. His whip kick hit Chang Baji's back, and Chang Baji's shoulder hit him in front of his eyes. Chu Sikong was not afraid in the face of danger. He quickly blocked with one arm in front of his body. However, it could only buy him some time to reduce Chang Baji's strength. Finally, he was knocked away by Chang Baji. Chang Baji's back also suffered a heavy blow.
Chu Sikong covered his chest with one hand, while Chang Baji hunched his back slightly. Both of their breaths were a bit messy. After all, they were not playing house. Instead, they were fighting against each other with real strength. If they were not careful, they might be seriously injured.
They looked at each other and fell into silence again. Chang Baji's state of mind became more and more chaotic, which was a sign of danger. In a fight between masters, the calmer one was, the greater the chance of winning would be.
In the protective forest across the river, Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang tried to escape. However, they could not get rid of the pursuers. Moreover, the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Once they caught up with them, neither of them would be able to escape.
Gu Qingyang did not want to be a burden to Qin Sheng. He directly pulled Qin Sheng and said, "Brother Qin, give me a chance. Let me stay behind. Otherwise, we will all die here."
"Qingyang, hold on. It will be dawn in two more hours. We can escape then." Qin Sheng would not give up his brothers easily, let alone his brothers who had gone through the crisis with him.
Gu Qingyang directly stopped and said, "Brother Qin, don't be indecisive. I won't hate you. If you don't leave, I will hate you. You are a man who will do great things. You should not die here. Only if you are alive can you avenge me. "
"Qingyang." Qin Sheng could not bear to see him die like this. Not everyone could face death like this. Not everyone was like Lu Xun, who said that a real warrior dared to face the bleak life and the dripping blood. Most people in this world were ordinary people, who were afraid of death. When death came, they would only try to survive.
Gu Qingyang was somewhat angry. He almost shouted at Qin Sheng, "Brother Qin, let's go."
This was the first time that Gu Qingyang had behaved like this. Qin Sheng had never seen Gu Qingyang like this since he had known him. He remembered that when he had met Gu Qingyang for the first time, this big boy had gone to the foot of the mountain to pick him up. They had not talked on the way. Later, when he had come to Hangzhou, he had been doing things dutifully. He had never made any mistakes. He was quiet, honest, and kind. When he had been Qin Sheng's driver, he had been very satisfied. He did not talk much but could do things well.
At this moment, Qin Sheng saw the not quiet side of this big boy. He did not know what Gu Qingyang was thinking at this moment. But he felt very tormented, contradictory, and uncomfortable. This kind of uncomfortable feeling made him feel very wronged. He did not know how to choose, because this kind of choice was too difficult.
"Go." Gu Qingyang shouted at the top of his lungs.
Hearing this, Qin Sheng's eyes turned red. He tried hard to hold back his tears. Finally, he turned around and left …
