Chapter 392.
Everything in this world has limits.
There were no endless possibilities.
Even the ‘Seemingly Royal Infinity’ in the Creation Positive Heart Sutra had the word ‘seemingly’ in it, and was not truly infinite.
Although the star picking hand has a very special ability to absorb and transform internal energy.
However, it is by no means endless.
Jiang Ran all of the internal strength deep to the incredible point, at first just think that this star picking hand is really very interesting, Fang want to see the limit of this thing in the end where.
Therefore, his internal strength increased little by little.
He punched fast, but in reality, the internal force of each punch had grown.
It was like boiling a frog in warm water, so much so that this master of the Star Picking Hand did not fully appreciate the changes.
This was also where one of the disadvantages of the Star Picking Hand lay.
The opponent could not feel how much effort the opponent had put forth, and returning this so-called ‘30%’ of the internal force was not the master of the Star Picking Hand’s ability, but rather the special nature of the Star Picking Hand.
So much so that the master of the Star-picking Hand was completely ignorant of this.
However, Jiang Ran had gradually realized that the Star-picking Hand was about to be overburdened as he watched with cold eyes.
The most obvious thing was that the internal force that was returned every time was no longer growing.
This indicates that it has almost reached its limit.
In that case there was no point in continuing to play around with it.
With a shock of internal energy, he directly shattered one of the Master of the Star Picking Hand’s hands with a single punch.
Immediately followed by the second punch came as expected.
The owner of the star picking hand felt severe pain in his heart, only feeling as if he was about to die from the pain.
Having automatically put on the Star Picking Hand, when had he ever endured such pain?
So much so that his resistance to pain was far inferior to other experts.
Now that he was facing Jiang Ran’s second punch, cowardice had even arisen in his heart, not daring to block it head-on and only thinking of turning around and running.
In a martial arts fight, in a jianghu combat, the most taboo is to miss the open door.
One open door, life will have to be left behind.
He turned around, behind the open door exposed.
Jiang Ran did not expect, actually will be white to this, this fist without reservation directly smashed in his back.
Moreover, this punch was meant to deal with the special characteristics of the Star Picking Hand, so Jiang Ran had used extremely strong internal force.
When it landed on top of a golden stone, it had to be split into pieces.
Smashed on this flesh and blood body ……
Only a bang was heard.
Where the fist landed, the owner of the star picker’s hand should be split apart, and the entire body went its own way in an instant, showering the sky with blood.
Jiang Ran blinked, then felt his teeth ache.
He gazed around his surroundings:
“This is also too shattered to die ……”
This Star Picking Hand was a good thing, even if in itself it had certain drawbacks, and could also make one overly dependent, and also make it difficult to feel the depth of one’s opponent’s internal strength.
But …… if you look at the Jianghu to be able to compete with Jiang Ran in terms of internal strength, I am afraid that there are only a few people already.
And over-reliance on this kind of problem looks at the person but not the object.
Therefore Jiang Ran actually intended to take this thing back and send it back to Luo Qingyi.
After all, Luo Qingyi’s [Elephant Divine Fist] was also an extremely accomplished martial art, and with the addition of this Star Picking Hand, this person’s combat power was able to instantly skyrocket.
Up to what level it is hard to say …… but as long as it is not Jiang Ran this kind of existence to him, under normal circumstances to encounter what experts, he can fight and win.
As a result, this person died in such a fragmented manner, when will this have to be found to find the Star Picking Hand?
This made Jiang Ran couldn’t help but sigh.
“Blood Cicada, ah Blood Cicada, really too unconscious.
“Unconscientious when alive, and unconscientious when dead.”
These words were not controlled by him, so much so that the two Great Selfless Heavenly Demon Ten Thousand Thoughts Technique doppelgangers also opened their mouths at the same time to utter such words.
Those two people coping with these two doppelgangers didn’t dare to distract him either.
Only then did they realize that something was wrong when they heard Jiang Ran say this.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Ran standing there alone, and his companion had long since disappeared …… There was only a puddle of blood left on the spot ……
The two looked at each other, both began to regret why they came today?
But on second thought, before coming, although they had considered that they might encounter Jiang Ran.
But wasn’t that a matter of probability?
And even if they met Jiang Ran, they might not necessarily fight him.
That’s why I let go ……
Now that he had ended up in such a situation, he could only say that Jiang Ran was the one who had to be reasonable.
In the middle of his thoughts, he saw Jiang Ran suddenly raise his head to look at the distant sky.
The moment this tiny detail appeared before his eyes, the two doppelgangers suddenly dissipated like clouds of smoke.
The two people were only slightly relieved when their senses returned, but their hearts tightened at the same time.
A sharp, biting edge was like a long sword hanging upside down in the sky.
The blade of the sword was sharp, as if nothing was unbreakable.
A supreme swordsman has appeared!
Looking at the entire capital, there was only one person who could have this kind of sword intent at this moment!
Speaking late but really fast, I saw a person like a long sword flying, swiftly arrived.
This person stands on the spot, also like a sword.
The blade of the sword reflected, the night stars, seemed to be eclipsed.
Jian Wu Sheng!
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly:
“Sword Warrior?”
“Jiang Warrior.”
Jian Wusheng clasped his fist at Jiang Ran:
“I’ve disturbed Great Warrior Jiang in his work.”
“Not really ……”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“The sudden appearance of the Sword Warrior is a bit of a surprise to Mister Jiang ……”
“Or else?”
Jian Wusheng let out a light laugh:
“Those words you said to me that night reminded me of something.
“Many years ago, Jian someone walking the rivers and lakes, once met a person, this person’s martial arts talent are outstanding …… At that time, Jian someone has not yet had today’s sword skills, really and truly received this person’s favor.
“Jiang warrior can know …… who this person is?”
“I wish to hear about it.”
Jian Wusheng wouldn’t have come here for no reason, in fact the fact that he was able to come here already said a lot.
Therefore, his words, which seemed to be unrelated to present day matters, would never be opened for no reason.
As expected, he heard Jian Wusheng softly say:
“Prince Wu.”
Jiang Ran slowly nodded his head:
“In other words, back then, Prince Wu was kind to you, so you trusted him extremely.
“Then, the matter of the Black Wind Walled City, was it Master Wu who told you about it?”
When they heard Jiang Ran mention the Black Wind Walled Village, those two people among the Blood Cicada couldn’t help but glance at each other, their faces both looking a little ugly.
This was enough to show that Jiang Ran already knew them extremely well.
It was far from what was imagined.
“That’s right.”
Jian Wusheng nodded:
“Jiang warrior might as well guess again …… what people Jian someone met and what things he saw next?”
“Mister Jiang has not grown front and back eyes, nor do I have the ability to pinch and count, so Mister Jian should not sell himself short with Mister Jiang.”
Jiang Ran was dumbfounded.
Jian Wusheng, on the other hand, bristled:
“Although Great Warrior Jiang didn’t grow front and back eyes, he did grow many eyes.
“Until after I departed from Prince Wu’s mansion …… these eyes have not left me either, and it was not until this morning that they disappeared cleanly ……”
Jiang Ran glanced at him:
“So, the Sword Warrior went to see Prince Wu?”
“Uh-huh.”
Jian Wusheng nodded lightly:
“Met …… Unfortunately, didn’t meet either.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Ran froze for a moment:
“Could it be that Prince Wu is not in the capital?
“However, as far as I know, even though there is no explicit order, such a thing as not being able to let Prince Wu leave the capital should be known to the world.”
“That’s right.”
Jian Wusheng agreed:
“Therefore, Prince Wu did not leave the capital ……”
“Then could it be that Prince Wu is unwilling to see you?”
Jiang Ran thought for a moment, but then shook his head:
“That’s not right …… With your skills, the person you want to see, even if it’s the current Prince of Heaven, he doesn’t have the ability to not see you ……
“You met him, but you didn’t see him.
“…… Prince Wu, there are two?”
Jian Wusheng snapped his head up to look at Jiang Ran and laughed:
“Not bad for you!
“Precisely …… that year, that Prince Wu who I cited as my confidant and treated as a close friend, and who had done me an extreme amount of favors ……”
Sword Wusheng said here and gave a slight beat:
“He was never the Martial Prince.”
Jiang Ran sighed softly:
“It seems that when this person initially approached you, he had ulterior motives.”
“Yes.”
Jian Wusheng nodded gently:
“But next I also found some clues ……
“Following these clues, I found something interesting.
“That’s why I had to come over to ask for a favor from Great Warrior Jiang even though I know that he’s busy with his work nowadays.
“I don’t know if Jiang Warrior can look at the face of Sword Someone and end today’s matter here.
“So even if it is letting the sword someone return the favor of the year ……
“It’s just that I don’t know if …… Jiang warrior is willing to sell this favor?”
When he said this, his face was also all ashamed.
Jiang Ran was slightly stunned, then cried and laughed:
“Does Sword Warrior know what he is saying?”
“I know that this move will call on Great Warrior Jiang to make things difficult for him ……”
Jian Wusheng took a deep breath:
“It’s just that if Great Warrior Jiang is willing to ask for one in return for three.
“In the future, Great Warrior Jiang can feel free to make Sword Someone do three things that do not go against heaven and earth or the morals of the jianghu.
“No matter how difficult it is, Jian Someone will never refuse!
“Please also consider it, Great Swordsman Jiang.”
He was a swordsman who would have preferred to bend.
Yet, he also valued kindness, so his attitude was put extremely low.
The smile on Jiang Ran’s face tightened as he quietly looked at Jian Wusheng:
“Do you know what you are saying?”
“I know.”
Jian Wusheng sighed:
“If not as a last resort …… I would never open such a mouth.
“This matter is also vital to me, so I still ask the Jiang Warrior to be open.”
“What if I am unwilling?”
Jiang Ran sneered.
Jian Wusheng pinched the hilt of his own sword and finally let out a bitter smile:
“Then what else can be done? It’s not supposed to be reasonable …… I can only keep begging.
“If Jiang warrior feels that I am annoying …… and want to kill me with my hands, I will never fight back.”
“Sword Warrior is playing rogue with Jiang Mou?”
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow.
“Together in the jianghu, to put it nicely, this warrior, that warrior …… to put it badly, are not all scoundrels?”
Sword Wusheng said with a smile:
“This scoundrel means, some time should be used also have to use.”
Jiang Ran again did not hold back his joy.
He looked at Jian Wusheng and then at the Blood Cicada trio not far away.
Ye Wingshuang and Ye Jingxue were still fighting with the person holding the Heavenly Voice Jiao.
However, now Ye Shocking Frost was already vaguely a bit tired.
Her internal strength was ultimately not as good as Ye Jingxue’s too much, whereas the one opposite, with the Heavenly Voice Cocktail, could already be invincible.
A fight up to this point, it was considered about right.
Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Ran’s mind, and he suddenly laughed:
“That’s just it, just it, the Sword Warrior is a rare gentleman in this jianghu.
“I’ll allow you to just.
“You …… guys go.”
Jian Wusheng was stunned at his words:
“Really?”
“The Sword Warrior is backtracking?”
Jiang Ran also froze for a moment.
“No no no …… you actually agreed to it seriously?”
Jian Wusheng scratched his head:
“I originally wanted to do my best …… I didn’t expect you to actually agree. Sword someone’s face, turned out to be so big?”
“Hahahahaha.”
Jiang Ran laughed again:
“Mister Jiang wants to make Sword Warrior a friend, so naturally there’s no reason not to agree to this trivial matter.
“What’s more,…… even if we don’t look at this point, the Sword Warrior found the Shattered Gold Blade but didn’t take it for himself.
“Thousands of miles to transfer the favor of the treasure knife, Jiang Mou is also the repayment of some.
“But …… the Sword Warrior promised the three things under me, can never forget.”
“Naturally not!!!”
Sword Wusheng promised in one mouthful:
“What is it that the Jiang Warrior has, by all means speak directly!!!”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“There are a few people around me who use swords, and Mister Jiang is proficient in swordsmanship, but not in swordsmanship.
“So …… I would like to ask Sword Warrior to give these few friends of mine, some pointers …… I wonder what Sword Warrior thinks?”
Jian Wusheng glanced indistinctly at Ye Shocking Frost and Ye Shocking Snow who were not far away.
Thoughtfully, he said:
“Truth be told, Great Warrior Jiang …… these two girls’ swordsmanship has already deeply penetrated the essence of what has been passed down in the sect.
“Even if it is under me, trying to instruct …… them is just adding to the snake.
“It is only necessary to continue practicing according to their original state, and the future is bound to be unlimited.
“However, since it is the Jiang Warrior who has opened his mouth, naturally, I cannot casually deal with it.”
Speaking here, he reached into his pocket and took out two booklets.
Jiang Ran felt a bit of a toothache as he looked at them suddenly thinking of the ones that Old Uncle Chen had asked him to refine.
Luckily, although Jian Wusheng didn’t seem to have a slip, he wasn’t so bad as to take out two books of Chun Gong Diagrams and give them to Jiang Ran.
With a shake of his hand, the two books whistled and flew to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran casually copied them and caught them in his palm.
Seeing that one of the books had no name, casually flipping it open, what was written inside was clearly Jian Wusheng’s many years of experience in practicing swordsmanship.
As well as the realization!
How precious this thing is, just by looking at the one given to Jiang Ran by the old drunkard, one can imagine.
And the other one has [Jade Haze Sword Technique] written on it.
Seeing that the name seemed rather generic, he heard Jian Wusheng say softly:
“This Jade Cloud Sword Technique that is a set of dual sword combining techniques, the subtlety of which is not below my Lifeless Seven Swords.
“It’s just a pity that in order to cultivate this sword technique, one needs to be of the same mind.
“The Ye Clan’s two beauties were born from the same womb, and I’ve watched them team up to meet the enemy, and they work in perfect harmony.
“If they were to be empowered by this sword technique, they would definitely be even better than today.”
“I see. ……”
Jiang Ran was enlightened, so he shouted:
“Frosty Xue’er, come back.”
Hearing Jiang Ran’s summons, the two girls simultaneously struck out a sword, and with a single point of the blade, they directly forced the owner of that heavenly sound xiao back three steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two turned on their feet and changed their stances several times in succession, arriving at Jiang Ran’s left and right.
“Big brother Jiang.”
Ye Jingxue glanced at the secret book in Jiang Ran’s hand and looked around, saying:
“You don’t have to care about us, just do what you want, and there’s even no need to sell people favors.
“Big deal, just leave them all behind.”
Jiang Ran smiled at his words:
“It’s rare to see you when you’re this understanding.”
Ye Jingxue instantly darkened her face:
“Getting down to business, sis, look at him.”
“Great warrior Jiang must have his own considerations.”
Ye Shocking Frost then blankly glanced at her sister:
“Just be at ease.”
“……”
Ye Jingxue genuinely felt that Ye Qingshuang’s blind worship of Jiang Ran had reached the extreme.
Even if Jiang Ran let out a fart, she would feel that it was fragrant.
Immediately, she had no choice but to hold her arms and twist her head to the side to sulk.
Jiang Ran then smiled and said:
“Alright, alright, these two books are given to you guys, Sword Warrior’s Sword Technique insights are not something that ordinary people can get.
“You guys need to each put them away ……”
With these words, he glanced at the few people from the Blood Cicada again:
“Are you guys still not leaving?”
The few people glanced at each other, all feeling a bit gloomy in their hearts.
Jiang Ran was by no means the type of person who would easily let himself and them go for the sake of Jian Wusheng.
This move was only feared to have another intention ……
However, under this situation, even if they knew that Jiang Ran’s choice was a bit odd, they couldn’t care less.
If they didn’t leave, they would have to give up their lives here.
In that case, no matter what, we still have to leave first.
At that moment, without leaving any words of honor, the person in the lead gently waved his hand, and the three of them left with their subordinates one after another.
Jian Wusheng looked at their departing backs and turned to Jiang Ran and also clasped his fists:
“Swordsman Jiang, I will also take my leave.
“Whenever you think of the remaining two things, when will you look for me, Great Warrior Jiang, or entrust someone to bring me a message.
“Thousands of mountains, thousands of difficulties and dangers, Sword Someone will never excuse himself.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded and slightly clasped his fists:
“Sword warrior take care.”
“Please.”
After Jian Wusheng finished speaking, he took a little step and followed suit, flying away.
Only after waiting for them to leave did Ye Jingxue say:
“Quickly tell us, how exactly do you want to dig a pit and bury someone? Are we following Jian Wusheng to see who actually made him come to ask you for a favor ……
“Or do we sneakily hang behind those guys and look for the Blood Cicada’s base camp?”
Jiang Ran didn’t bother with her, but looked up at the sky and smiled gently:
“It’s almost dawn, quickly look for it with me ……”
“Look for what?”
Ye Jingxue wondered.
“Star picker ah.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Before dawn, we must find it.
“Otherwise, once people come, it won’t be good for us to stay here.
“Turning back and then letting the Blood Cicada take back this Star Picking Hand …… wouldn’t that be a shame?”
“…… Star Picker’s Hand people you let go, isn’t that a pity?”
“No pity.”
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“The Blood Cicada is unfathomable, these people are by no means the limit.
“Judging from Jian Wusheng’s words, there is bound to be someone high up after the Blood Cicada …… and this person also already knows about the situation here.
“Otherwise it makes no sense for Jian Wu Sheng to appear.
“If we can’t find a way to wipe them out, or, as much as possible, uproot them.
“killing as many of their branches as possible will not help.
“Don’t worry, I already have a plan for this matter, and it’s almost over.”
Ye Shockfang and Ye Shockxue glanced at each other, neither of them quite understanding.
It only felt that today’s situation was really a bit difficult.
Jiang Ran had already exposed his identity to the Blood Cicada tonight, and had also left a living soul behind.
Next, the Blood Cicada would definitely go all out, by then, whether Jiang Ran would be able to stay in the capital or not was still up for debate, so how to end this matter?
