Chapter 1140

~6 min read 1,121 words

Yu Huatian repelled Ling Yanqiu's attack with just his two-finger Zen.

Everything was so effortless and graceful.

He didn't even move his butt once.

And Ling Yanqiu was not even in his eyes; he had no desire to strike at all.

At this moment.

The Western Depot's head squad leader made his move, using his martial arts to entangle Ling Yanqiu on the side.

Yu Huatian continued to look at the battle under the cliff through his monocular telescope, as if everything happening there was more attractive to him.

Here, a very interesting piece of cinematic language appeared.

In the entire frame, Yu Huatian sat on a chair on the left, his expression indifferent, with the Western Depot agents standing by behind him. On the right side of the frame, Ling Yanqiu and the head squad leader were locked in a fierce battle, the sound of blades clashing ringing out incessantly.

Stillness! Motion!

Stillness and motion seemed contradictory, yet they blended perfectly in this frame.

It further highlighted Yu Huatian's power.

Meng Qian's eyes lit up as she exclaimed: "He was clearly just sitting there quietly, yet he managed to show off so hard!"

She felt that the husbands knew how to show off.

Below the cliff.

The Western Depot agents were not idle; seeing they couldn't take down the warriors for a while, they decisively deployed archers to shoot the enemies from a distance.

The warriors were already at a disadvantage due to their small numbers, and now with the harassment of the archers, they were in even more dire straits; one of them was directly pierced through the arm by a feathered arrow.

However, he was worthy of being a man of the Jianghu; enduring the pain, he swung his sword to cut off the arrow.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly difficult, they put the children on horses and chose to flee, but the agents had no intention of letting them go and pursued them relentlessly.

On the cliff.

Ling Yanqiu discovered the warriors and children were in trouble, feinted to break free from the masked head squad leader's entanglement, used her light-body technique to fly down the cliff, lightly tapped her toes on the horse's back, and her longsword emitted a joyful hum. With a flash of her figure and a flicker of sword light, a row of archers was instantly cut down from their horses.

This fully proved that once an archer is approached by a jungler, they are just trash.

Especially when the jungler's level is higher than the archer's by who knows how much.

Afterward, Ling Yanqiu flew onto her own white horse and escaped together with the warriors.

Yu Huatian sat on the cliff watching the fleeing fugitives, his expression neither sad nor happy.

Neither enraged nor startled, it was instead as if it were within his expectations.

It turned out that all of this was intentional on his part.

When these people appeared to save the children earlier, he noticed Zhao Huaian was not among them and guessed they were just Jianghu riffraff hired by Zhao Huaian, so he deliberately let them go to lure out Zhao Huaian.

His subordinates quickly spread out a map, and Yu Huatian performed a divine calculation analysis, then his gaze narrowed as he saw a point on the map.

"Longmen!"

"Pass the order down: seal all main roads and strictly inspect the Longmen pass!"

Longmen!

This place name, which appeared in the "The World's Number One" TV series, rang in the audience's ears once again.

Through the movie, everyone had actually guessed that most of the story would likely take place in this location, so they were full of anticipation and curiosity.

At the same time.

The character of Yu Huatian became even more stunning and well-rounded.

If mocking the Eastern Depot at the temple and snapping a precious sword with bare hands highlighted Yu Huatian's supreme martial arts, then playing the long game to catch a big fish and deducing the location of Longmen revealed Yu Huatian's supreme intellect!

A powerful villain can bring a strong sense of tension and oppression to the audience.

At this moment, this was exactly the feeling Yu Huatian gave.

"The Factory Flower is amazing!"

"Pay attention, he seems to not have..."

"..."

"Yu Huatian has both martial arts and intelligence; if he were to be Zhu Wushi's opponent in 'The World's Number One' twenty years later, I'm afraid there would really be nothing left for Zhu Tiedan to do."

"What a pity."

"I want to know more and more what happened later. Why does such a brilliant and talented figure have no role in 'The World's Number One'? Could it be that he is already dead? But then, why would Jiang Yuyan say she wanted to go to Longmen to see an old friend?"

"Keep watching, there should be an answer."

"..."

In fact.

Among the audience watching the movie, not everyone had seen the "The World's Number One" TV series.

But it didn't affect the viewing experience.

Even without understanding the story of the previous work, "Flying Swords of Longmen" had little impact and could be viewed as a standalone story.

On the other side.

Ling Yanqiu knew the main road couldn't be taken and chose small paths that the large army couldn't travel on.

They had already agreed with Zhao Huaian to meet at the Longmen Inn before the Longmen pass.

The scene switched.

The desolate yellow sand desert was boundless; there was no vegetation on the ground, no animals, the sky was yellow, and the earth was yellow—everywhere was a scene of desolation, truly a barren land where not even a single hair could be found.

0

But as the camera moved quickly from a sky-high perspective, there was actually a small black dot on this barren land.

Zooming in from high to low, the audience saw clearly: that wasn't a small black dot, but an inn!

Longmen Inn!

It stood alone in this yellow sand desert, the only inn within dozens of miles. Although located in a remote area, the inn was bustling with noise and excitement!

The camera entered the inn and landed on the waiter. Following the waiter as he served dishes, one could see passing merchants, military officials, and Jianghu figures... a mixed bag of people.

What surprised the audience was that here, You Mingyue used a special filming technique.

"A single continuous shot? Awesome!"

"The wives are showing off so hard my scalp is tingling!"

"Sit down, everyone, it's just a basic operation, don't be surprised!"

"..."

Yes.

It was exactly a single continuous shot.

It was an extreme test of the director's ability to construct scenes and set up camera positions.
