I heard it's not good to be a magic stick

What is courage?

Is it the belief that has gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire and hell and reincarnation, and still persists?

Is it the heroism who resists alone with all arrows?

Or when the darkness is shrouded, forge ahead without fear of loneliness?

For Zhang Linle, he has his own definition.

Yin Yang Street appeared in front of his eyes again, this time, he obviously didn't feel any evil spirit.The sudden appearance of Yinyang Street is nothing more than a reward for customs clearance, inviting him to set foot on Yangguan Avenue again.

Zhang Linle licked his teeth, and smiled exaggeratedly, his black eyes were calm like a vengeful wolf.

Without hesitation, he stepped onto the dark road.

As soon as he entered, everything around him returned to the stage of Huilongzhuang Theater.

The moon was hanging high, without a cloud, and the surrounding area was as quiet as ever, just like the night they came out.

The bloody storm before, and the current calm, both illusion and reality, Zhang Linle is confused, he has long been unable to distinguish reality from dreams.

"why?"

Hearing the questioning voice behind him, he turned around vigilantly.

Under the moonlight, a middle-aged man in black clothes and a hoodie stood with his hands behind his back. Zhang Linle couldn't see his face clearly. He was quite tall, maybe over 190 cm. He was strong and burly like a male orangutan.

"Why don't you go back?" The man in black's voice was very hoarse, as if his tonsils had been cut.

"I'm here to save my friend." Zhang Linle replied bluntly.

"Friend? You just met."

"So what? Time is not the only criterion for measuring whether you can be a friend."

The man in black asked contemptuously, "Do you know the price you paid for doing this?"

"Since we are friends, I can't ignore them," Zhang Linle said, "just like they gave their lives to help me at a critical moment."

The man in black laughed loudly: "It's a good thing to have love and righteousness, but didn't Yan Xi tell you? If they fail the test, they will be eliminated. They are the ones who will be eliminated."

Zhang Linle's expression remained unchanged: "We have completed the task."

"But they fell."

Zhang Linle smiled and said, "Aren't I going to take them back?"

"By you?"

"It's just me."

The man in black smiled disdainfully: "Do you know who I am?"

"The mentor of Huaxia Xuanji, one of the makers of this farce."

The man in black snorted coldly: "You are too rude."

Zhang Linle sneered: "Usually I'm quite reserved, but now, I just want to scold and get out."

"Boy, if you want to die, I can help you." The man in black threw the mandarin duck to Zhang Linle's feet. "If you win against me, you take them back. If you don't win, you will be eliminated with them."

Zhang Linle squatted down to pick up the weapon, wiped it carefully with his clothes, and held it in his blood-stained hands.

The man in black unrestrainedly took off his hat and belt.

He has learned martial arts since he was a child, and he knows some weapons. The weapon held by the man in black is called a belt sword, which is a kind of soft sword. Because it can be fastened around his waist, it can be said to be a convenient weapon to carry.

Any weapon has advantages and disadvantages. The characteristic of the belt sword is that it is not suitable for cutting and stabbing, but it can cut.Moreover, the belt sword can be deformed, like a sword when it is hard, and like a whip when it is soft. It is well controlled and has many changes. It can cut through people's necks and arteries extremely quickly.

"Boy, you still have a chance to repent now. They are not the only candidates, and you will have new friends."

"What I believe will not change."

The man in black said sharply, "You can't beat me."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

The man in black was about to answer the conversation, but Zhang Linle didn't intend to give him a chance anymore.His pupils shrank, he waved the mandarin duck in his hand, lowered his body, and rushed towards the opponent.

Zhang Linle's speed was very fast. The man in black took a few steps back and slashed with his sword. Zhang Linle lifted his arm and withstood the pressure. The opponent's sword just happened to get stuck in his ax teeth.

The steps of both of them are as steady as a rock.

The man in black roared and pushed hard. Zhang Linle was too weak and was forced to take two steps back. The two confronted each other with weapons three meters apart.

"The skill is good, and I will use my strength next." The man in black said.

Zhang Linle narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the air pressure slowly distorting around him.Zhang Linle sighed that something was wrong, and immediately took a few big steps back.

Sure enough, as he expected, the man in black's sword softened, like a rattlesnake in his hand, and charged straight at Zhang Linle.

Zhang Linle picked up the Yuanyang Yue with his right hand to block it, the soft sword bypassed the Yuanyang Yue, and slapped Zhang Linle's shoulder.

He felt a burning pain.But he couldn't stop, he turned the Yuanyang ax in his right hand, wrapped the soft sword around, and restrained the man in black.

Zhang Linle swung the ax in the other hand and attacked the man in black.

It's a pity that the man in black let go of the soft sword directly, dodging with a somersault.

"The physical strength is very good." The man in black stood up, "Finally met someone who can fight."

Zhang Linle smiled: "You overestimate yourself, your weapons are still with me."

The man in black was not in a hurry: "You don't need it anyway, I can beat you even empty-handed."

"You're right. I can't take it lightly. My teammates are still waiting for me to take them back." After finishing speaking, Zhang Linle threw the opponent's soft sword far away.

The man in black drew a circle with his feet, spread his hands, and made an inviting gesture with his palms.

Zhang Linle rushed over with Yuanyang Yue.The man in black swept his legs, Zhang Linle jumped to avoid it, and slashed at the opponent's shoulder in an attacking posture.

The man in black quickly pulled out another belt sword from his waist. Zhang Linle smiled contemptuously, thinking it was really empty-handed, and then unleashed his full attack power without reservation.

The saying that offense is the best defense does not apply to all situations, or in other words, this sentence is only suitable for a state, not a specific trick.

When Zhang Linle was focused on attacking, his body was not in a defensive posture, and some weaknesses were exposed to the sight of the man in black.

The man in black sent a whip, and Zhang Linle knew that if he took a step back and defended now, he might not be injured, but he would miss the opportunity to attack the opponent.

Zhang Linle received the sword forcefully, and the soft sword cut Zhang Linle's upper arm muscles. He clenched his teeth, and with the intention of hurting both sides, he increased his strength and inserted the mandarin duck in his hand into the man in black. Shoulder.

"Are you desperate?" The man in black kicked Zhang Linle hard.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhang Linle rolled on the ground, and the two mandarin ducks were also scattered beside him.

He was wearing a white T-shirt, his left arm had been cut with a soft sword, bleeding profusely, his jeans and white shoes were covered with dust, and he was in a panic.

Zhang Linle scolded: "You are cheating!"

"So what if I cheat?" The man in black also became angry.

Zhang Linle took a sip.

The man in black held down the scar on his shoulder. He was not seriously injured, but Zhang Linle was so stubborn that it aroused his arrogance.

"Give up, you can't save them. If you continue like this, you will bleed too much and lose strength, and you won't get timely treatment. The only result is..."

"Hehe, since time is limited, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Linle picked up the mandarin duck ax on the ground, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, with a firm smile on the corner of his mouth, he kicked his feet and launched an attack without even looking at his own wound.

He swung the mandarin duck axe, and the man in black deftly blocked it with his sword. He just wanted to dodge sideways, but his escape route was blocked.

Every attack was very crisp and neat. After three moves, the man in black struggled, so he had to counterattack.

The man in black saw the right moment and attacked Zhang Linle's injured arm.

The wounded arm was painful even to the touch, let alone bear the force.

The man in black attacked his weak point, and the sword in his belt was like a sharp blade, stabbing deeply into the wound again, making Zhang Linle feel heart-piercing pain.

The pain brought about slow movements, the man in black kicked violently, Zhang Linle flew a long way, and the Yuanyang Yue was also out of his hand.

The man in black smiled, walked up to Zhang Linle and asked softly, "This is the last chance, give up or continue?"

Zhang Linle turned over and coughed violently. With each cough, the smell of blood was choked into the trachea, causing a more severe cough.

"You don't have to worry, Xuanming will never send out players, you will have new fellow travelers." The man in black tried to persuade Zhang Linle.

Zhang Linle coughed for a while before he recovered.He loosened his clenched lips and teeth, and blood dripped down his chin. Zhang Linle wiped his chin with his index finger, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure."

"happy?"

"It's fun to fight, and it's even more fun to fight for your teammates. I still want to scold you, get out."

The man in black was so annoyed at Zhang Linle's stubbornness that he was about to step on it.

Unexpectedly, the person under his feet suddenly hugged his ankle and shouted: "You step on it and try it. I'm dead, and you won't feel better."

The man in black raised his foot and remained motionless. At this moment, his heel was pressed hard by the blade, and if he made a mistake, it would be painful.

This Zhang Linle, when did he take off the small blade on his mandarin duck axe? It's interesting.

"Don't be impulsive, I just want to kick you unconscious and take you home." The man in black just remained in this posture.

"You lied to me, I won't trust you anymore, now you can say whatever you want," Zhang Lin said happily, "Take me to see Li Jingxing and Xu Xu."

"As if you have no right to ask me to do anything."

"You don't have the right to choose." Zhang Linle said stubbornly, his eyes turned red.

"Oh, what if I say no?"

Zhang Linle narrowed his eyes: "Then I will cut your hamstrings."
