Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Thunder Gate? Where is this place?"

When Shi Qian heard the man introduce himself, he frowned. He had just recalled that there was indeed no such sect among the sects in the Central Plains.

"If you can beat the iron plaque in my hand, I'll tell you!"

Helian Tiehua did not answer Shi Qian's question, but instead launched an attack on him!

"You really think I'm an easy target?"

Seeing Helian Tiehua charging straight at him, Shi Qian sneered. Did he really think that the dignified head of the Dayi intelligence agency knew nothing but light footwork?

Shi Qian suddenly swung his hands behind his back, and a cold glint flashed at his waist! Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be more than a dozen throwing knives!

Who said that the dignified Sky Curtain Commander and Shadow Leader only knows light footwork and not other martial arts?

It should be noted that after Zhou Tong joined Liangshan, he gave advice to quite a few generals. Apart from those who were stuck at the half-step peak or peak level, the martial arts of the others were basically improved by a small level, and Shi Qian was no exception.

Facing Helian Tiehua, Shi Qian couldn't help but recall the past:

In fact, Zhou Tong had told him long ago that as an intelligence leader, one must not only have excellent light-body skills and stealth abilities, but also the ability to protect oneself!

If an intelligence chief is unable to protect himself, what happens if he gets captured? What happens if he encounters a dangerous situation?

At the time, Shi Qian was quite confident in his lightness skill and didn't take Zhou Tong's suggestion that he should practice something else, because he always felt that no one could catch him. But as Tianmu and Anying got on track day by day, Shi Qian's responsibilities became greater and greater, and his safety became more and more important.

So one day, Grandpa Zhou Tong forcibly dragged Shi Qian from the house to the woods near the training ground, wanting to show him through action that intelligence gathering is impossible without force.

On the day Shi Qian recorded it, Zhou Tong told him to use his lightness skill to run around as he pleased. As long as he could not be caught by him, Shi Qian would win, and Zhou Tong would not urge Shi Qian to practice anything else in the future.

Shi Qian didn't hold back at the time. He immediately used all his lightness skills to dodge and weave through the forest. His speed was so great that he even left afterimages!

"Old man, can you win me over?"

While dodging among the trees, Shi Qian asked Zhou Tong a question.

"Chase? Why should I chase? You're good at light footwork, but you can't live off that forever! Look, I've found you!"

Although Zhou Tong showed no intention of moving, he not only tracked Shi Qian with his eyes but also constantly listened for sound to pinpoint his location. Once he was familiar with Shi Qian's movement trajectory, he suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a throwing knife shot out, aiming directly at Shi Qian's next landing point!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Shi Qian's lightness skill was quite remarkable. When he saw the flying knives coming, he quickly changed his movements, grabbed the tree trunk with both hands, and spun around forcefully, just avoiding the three flying knives that were deeply embedded in the tree trunk!

But that wasn't all. As he spun around while hugging the tree trunk, Zhou Tong raised his other hand, and a rope hidden within shot out and wrapped around Shi Qian's foot!

"Get down here!"

Feeling the weight on the rope, Zhou Tong took a step to the side and pulled hard on the rope with one hand. Shi Qian spun around and his foot just touched the tree trunk. Before he could continue using his lightness skill, he felt a strong force coming from his leg and was pulled from the tree to Zhou Tong's location!

"not good!"

Shi Qian reacted quickly. After being pulled down, he immediately curled up in mid-air, quickly untied the ropes binding his ankles, and then used the force of the ropes to forcefully use his lightness skill to fall in another direction!

But just as he landed and was about to jump up again, he suddenly felt a large hand press down on his back! Then a tremendous force came from his back and slammed him back to the ground!

"Oh!"

Shi Qian fell heavily to the ground. Apart from when he first met Ren Yuan, this was the first time in all these years that Shi Qian had been slapped to the ground so mercilessly.

"So? Are you still going to learn?"

Zhou Tong hid beside Shi Qian and spoke earnestly.

“This time it was me, but what if it's someone else next time? The information you possess is related not only to Sky Curtain and Shadow, but also to the safety of the entire Dayi!”

"You need to at least train yourself to be able to protect yourself! Enough to hold out until everyone comes to rescue you!"

From that day on, Shi Qian began to practice with Zhou Tong, who taught him the throwing knife technique!

The throwing knives Shi Qian is now taking out were meticulously crafted for him by Tang Long! There are twelve in total! Every single one of them gleams with a cold light! They can cut a hair in two!

Moreover, each throwing knife has a steel wire at the end for it to be released or retrieved!

"Look at the knife!"

Back to the present, facing Helian Tiehua charging towards him, Shi Qian made a fierce move!

The throwing knife personally passed down by the legendary martial arts master Zhou Tong

Helian Tiehua, who was rapidly approaching Shi Qian, only saw several streaks of cold light rushing towards him. Before he could even think about what was flying towards him, he instinctively raised his iron plate to block it in front of him!

"Dang Dang Dang..."

A very crisp sound rang out on the shield. Although there was an iron plate between them, Helian Tiehua could still feel the power coming from the other side of the shield!

"But if that's all there is to it, then it's not worth mentioning!"

Helian Tiehua's iron plaques are a secret technique of their Thunder and Lightning Sect. When used with two iron plaques, they can effectively protect the chest, back, and upper body. Although the lower body may be vulnerable, the use of these iron plaques usually results in close combat. The Thunder and Lightning Sect's close combat techniques are also unparalleled in Western Xia, making it difficult for ordinary people to find weaknesses in his lower body at close range.

Moreover, putting everything else aside, just look at the weapon Shi Qian used just now. Although I didn't see it clearly, it must have been something like a throwing knife.

You think you can break my metal plaque with a throwing knife? Dream on!

Helian Tiehua was relieved. After learning Shi Qian's approximate location, he rushed towards it!

Experience has shown that underestimating someone who has been involved in intelligence work for many years often leads to significant losses!

"The fourth move, personally passed down by Elder Zhou, is the Crescent Moon!"

Shi Qian could see that it was practically impossible to break through Helian Tieshu's iron plaque head-on with a flying knife.

But a throwing knife with added wire is no ordinary throwing knife; simply put, it can change direction!

For example, right now, with the change of Shi Qian's ten fingers and the control of the steel wire, ten throwing knives were perfectly swung in an arc, bypassing the iron plate in front of Helian Tiehua and attacking him from behind!

Helian Tiehua truly lived up to his reputation as a veteran assassin of Western Xia; he keenly sensed the murderous intent coming from behind!

Although he was puzzled as to why the attack came from behind him, his hands moved quickly, retracting the iron plate behind his back in an attempt to block the attack!

"Dang Dang Dang——"

"blocked!"

It was another crisp clang of metal against metal. Helian Tiehua was pleased that he had blocked Shi Qian's attack when he suddenly noticed two chilling killing intents coming straight at his lower body!

By this time, his iron plate was already too late to get back to the rescue!

Shi Qian held a throwing knife in each hand, his body almost touching the ground, his tone extremely cold:

"Don't you know that there are two kinds of crescent moons?"
