Chapter 174: Mark's Past (2)
At the age of five, Marc had a strong desire to become a swordsman, and at first he just waved a few thin twigs indiscriminately. It wasn't until he was ten years old that he had an embroidered sword.
That time he went to a blacksmith shop, and the blacksmith was a middle-aged man, and when Marc met him, he was making iron naked. Beads of crystal clear sweat rolled down his body.
Marc walked in, and the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, smiled at him, and said, "Little friend, what are you doing here?"
The child said to the adult, "I am not a child, I am a swordsman. I'm here to pick a sword to pick up. ”
At this time, Mark's father came over and said, "I'm sorry, my child is running around and disturbing you." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Marc said, "I want a sword." ”
The father said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
His father's stern tone frightened Mark, but the middle-aged blacksmith smiled and smiled. Then he stood up and brought him a sword, which was more of a child's toy than a sword.
The length of this sword is only five or six centimeters, but it is extremely delicate. It was all golden, and there were two huge sapphires on either side of the hilt.
The blacksmith said, "This is for you." ”
Marc took the sword and played with it carefully.
The father said, "This is not possible. ”
Before the father could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the blacksmith and said, "It's okay, it's just a child's toy." ”
What my father said, "The price is ......."
The blacksmith said, "I don't want money, I'll give it to you." ”
The father said, "Thank you then." ”
The blacksmith said, "You're welcome. ”
That sword hung around Mark's neck until he died.
With this sword, Marc was even more determined to become a swordsman. But at first, Marc didn't show the talent to be a swordsman.
Until the age of fifteen, Marc was only a high-level warrior. Until he was twenty years old, he was still a high-ranking samurai, and he didn't feel that he had grown at all.
When he was twenty years old, there was a swordsman named Zhao Mingwei, who was about ten years older than him.
But when Zhao Mingwei was twenty years old, he was already at the peak of Wuzun, and not only at the peak of Wuzun, but when he was at the peak of Wuzun, he had already defeated a master of the Martial Emperor realm, Deng Jiantian of Wanjian City, Yungang Sword Sect.
It is said that he defeated him in three moves, and it was also this battle that made Zhao Mingwei famous in one battle.
Marke's family lives in Qingxue Province, not far from Ten Thousand Swords City. One night, Marc made a decision that he was going to the City of Ten Thousand Swords, to find Zhao Mingwei, to learn from him as a teacher, and to learn the most powerful sword in the world.
After he told his parents what he thought, he left for Ten Thousand Swords City.
Gad Empire, City of Ten Thousand Swords.
Ten Thousand Swords City, a province of the Gad Empire, as the name suggests, most people in Ten Thousand Swords City use swords. Even if you don't know how to use a sword to come to the City of Ten Thousand Swords, you have to carry a sword around your waist. Because you are walking on the streets of Ten Thousand Swords City, and at a glance here, almost everyone here is armed with a sword. If you don't have a sword at your waist when you come to Ten Thousand Swords City, it will look very strange to you.
Marc came to Ten Thousand Swords City to find Zhao Mingwei, but now that he has come to Ten Thousand Swords City, he doesn't know where to find Zhao Mingwei.
Although he didn't know where to find Zhao Mingwei, he knew one thing. That is, he is hungry, and when he is hungry, he has to eat. This is what his father taught him from a young age. All he has to practice now is this.
He found an inn that was not too many, not too little. As for why he chose this inn, there was no particular reason, but because he was attracted by the smell of food wafting from inside, he found a place to sit.
As soon as he sat down, a young man said, "What do you want to eat?"
Marc originally wanted to say a bowl of beef and a jug of wine, but when he saw the menu and thought about the money in his pocket, he changed his tune and said, "A plate of chestnut chicken and another jug of wine." ”
The young shopkeeper said, "Okay, you wait." ”
Soon his dishes were ready, and he drank wine and ate chestnut chicken at the same time. Slowly.
Eating is an art as well as a pleasure. Although Marke's family is not very wealthy, he seems to have understood the art of eating from his mother's womb, and he can eat all the vegetables with relish. But his favorite thing is beef, which he has always felt is the greatest animal on the continent.
Beef will be delicious no matter how you do it.
But when he's eating, the last thing he likes is someone to disturb him. But now at this moment, someone is bothering him. To be precise, it wasn't him who bothered, it was a girl sitting at the table next to him.
There was only a plate of vegetables on the girl's table with a small bowl of white rice.
But at this time, a boy who was not handsome or ugly walked over. But when he entered the store, the originally noisy air became quiet for a moment. There was a look of fear in everyone's eyes.
But the boy didn't seem to notice it, he walked up to the girl and said, "You just eat such a thing." ”
The girl did not speak, but nodded.
The boy continued, "Shall I ask you to eat something?" ”
The girl said, "If you pay, I have no opinion." ”
The boy said, "Boss, come with a plate of beef, a roast chicken, and a boiled fish." ”
Suddenly, an old man's voice came and said, "Okay." ”
Childe continued to whisper to the girl, "What are you going to pay me?" ”
The girl said, "Paid, didn't you say you pay?"
Brother Gongzi said: "Yes, I'm talking about other rewards. ”
The girl said, "What do you want?" ”
Brother Childe said with a hippie smile: "How about you kiss me?"
The girl said without changing her face: "It's not good, I can't afford to eat this meal you invited, goodbye." ”
The girl was about to get up and leave, but the boy said sharply, "Stop her!"
After saying these three words, I saw the three little attendants behind the boy's brother, and immediately blocked the girl's way.
The girl turned her head and said with a displeased expression, "What else do you want?"
Brother Gongzi said: "This dish is ordered, it can't be returned, I eat it alone, I can't finish it." ”
The girl said, "You are not alone, you have three fox friends." ”
When Brother Gongzi heard her say that these three people were fox friends and dog friends, not only did he not get angry, but laughed. said: "The meal will be sweeter with you." ”
The girl said, "But you make me feel sick here." ”
Brother Gongzi suddenly said sharply: "Do you know who I am?"
The girl said, "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”
Brother Gongzi said, "Tell him, who am I?"
A follower said: "This is the eldest son of the Zhu family in Ten Thousand Swords City, Zhu Yongle." ”
The girl said, "I don't know." ”
Another attendant said, "Girl, you're new here, aren't you?"
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
The last attendant said: "The Zhu family is one of the eight major families in Ten Thousand Sword City." ”
Zhu Yongle said: "Are you interested in kissing me now?"
The girl said, "No, I'm leaving." ”
Zhu Yongle said sharply: "You mother-in-law, don't toast and skip eating, eat and drink! You press him to this bench!"
Everyone had resentment in their eyes, but no one stopped it, because no one dared to offend the eldest young master of the Zhu family, because offending the Zhu family was not only about himself, but also because of his recklessness. If this eldest young master is merciful, it will only cause you to encounter some disasters and lose some money. But if this young master makes a dead hand, your fate will probably be just one son - death!
No one dares to offend him, and no one will spare himself for a long time.
The girl said, "What do you want to do?"
Zhu Yongle said: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to kiss you because you look quite peugeot." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper came over with a huge tray with four dishes on the tray. The shopkeeper carefully put the dishes on the table without making the slightest sound. After putting all the dishes away, the shopkeeper said timidly: "Guest officer, your dishes are ready." ”
Zhu Yongle said: "Thank you, you can get out." ”
Although the shopkeeper was very dissatisfied with Zhu Yongle's way of speaking, there was no way, he was a little man who had no way to fight against these high-powered rich children.
Zhu Yongle picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and said, "You kiss me, and I'll feed you this piece of beef." ”
The girl said, "No. ”
After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave again.
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, "Smack!" The woman's face immediately appeared with five bright red palm prints, at this time, Zhu Changle's voice changed from the previous gentle, and he said viciously to the girl: "Young Master Ben asked you to kiss me, I look up to you, don't toast and don't eat and drink, you are indeed very beautiful, but Young Master Ben can make you break your appearance immediately." ”
Zhu Changle said and pinched the girl's smooth, blown-to-the-face when she touched it. His voice was gentle again, but his expression was even more annoying, and he said, "You can kiss me now." ”
The girl still didn't speak.
A voice that was neither high nor low suddenly sounded and said, "If this girl is unwilling, you don't want the overlord to bow hard." ”
Zhu Changle said in an unhappy tone: "Who is talking?"
Marc stood up and said, "It's me." ”
Zhu Changle said: "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know, but I know you're not a good person," Marc said. ”
Zhu Changle said: "I think you are tired of living. ”
Marc was still standing, not speaking, but his heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.
Zhu Changle said: "You guys killed him for me." ”
Zhu Changle's tone of voice when he said this was calm without a trace of waves, Zhu Changle's three little followers immediately took action when they heard Zhu Changle's words, there were three of them, a total of three swords. Three swords stabbed out at the same time, stabbing at Mark.
The swords of the three of them are not fast in the eyes of the swordsman, but they are already fast in the eyes of these civilians, and they are already very fast.
It was fast in Mark's eyes at this moment, but the swords were not fast enough that he couldn't handle them.
Mark's hands were spread out like the wings of a roc, and two swords passed under his armpits, but one sword pierced Mark's chest with a cold sword light. Just when the sword was about to be captured, Malke's whole body was bent into a bow, and then the whole person got up at once, and then his palms flew up, and a stream of true qi gushed out in an instant, and the three followers flew out immediately, and even one of them fainted directly.
Zhu Changle was shocked for a moment, but then regained his composure. He said: "It turned out to be a practitioner, no wonder he would stand up and argue with me." Let me ask you, what sect and sect are you a disciple of?"
Marc said, "No door, no faction. ”
Zhu Changle said: "You are not from Ten Thousand Swords City?"
"No," Marc said. ”
Zhu Changle said: "No wonder you dare to argue with me, with your skills, you could have gone to my Zhu family as a caretaker, and my Zhu family would give you a good salary." But if you offend me today, your good days will come to an end. ”
Zhu Changle's words were not finished yet, but his people had already made a move. Suddenly there was an extra sword in his empty hand, and no one knew how this sword came out. But everyone could see that Zhu Changle's sword came out very quickly.
It is true that Zhu Changle is a disciple who does not learn and has no skills, but his swordsmanship is definitely one of the best in the young life of Ten Thousand Swords City. It's just that this person doesn't make a move most of the time, so most people don't know. In addition, he has always presented himself as a disciple, so most people will think that he is a useless waste. If it weren't for the good reincarnation, maybe the person would have been reincarnated a long time ago. If this guy really goes to reincarnate, then most people in Ten Thousand Swords City will be happy, especially men.
But this time, when everyone saw Zhu Changle's swordsmanship, everyone knew that they were wrong, not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong, and it was really difficult to let this guy go to reincarnation.
Marc also panicked, he just couldn't look past it, so he said a word, he didn't expect that this sentence could put him in such a dangerous situation. But at this point, he has no choice but to make a move, and if he doesn't, he will definitely die.
Marc leaned in, pulled the distance between him and Zhu Changle, and then pulled out the sword, which was given to him by the blacksmith in his hometown, this sword didn't look like a murderous sword, it was more like a toy. But this is the only sword he has now.
Zhu Changle said: "This is your sword?"
Marc said, "Yes." ”
Zhu Changle said: "I think this sword is just for children." I'll show you what a real sword is. ”
After Zhu Changle finished speaking, a sword flashed, although his swordsmanship was not a master, it was much stronger than his three followers. Marc also knew that he couldn't stop the sword. Marc's mind went blank right now. He thought of nothing, did nothing, it was as if a huge, heavy chain had locked his body.
But Marc didn't die, but Zhu Changle fell.
Just as Zhu Changle's sword was about to stab Malke, a huge sword qi burst out from Malke's body, and then Zhu Changle spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. But Zhu Changle did not die.
Zhu Changle looked at Malke, his eyes were about to bulge, and said, "How can you have such a strong strength?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Mark, and he said, "Of course he doesn't have such great power, but I do." ”
At this time, a burly man walked over.
Zhu Changle said: "Who are you? You must know that I am Zhu Changle, the eldest young master of the Zhu family, one of the eight major families of Ten Thousand Sword City. ”
The burly man said, "Zhu family, I know. ”
Zhu Changle smiled at this moment and said, "It's good that you know, Mr. can go to my Zhu family with such skills, and my Zhu family will definitely be treated as a guest." ”
The burly man said, "No need, my Zhao family is no worse than your Zhu family." ”
Zhu Changle said: "Zhao family, are you from the Zhao family?"
The burly man said, "Yes, the Zhao family, one of the eight great families of Ten Thousand Swords City. My name is Zhao Mingwei. ”
Zhu Changle slowly stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
Zhu Changle and his three little followers left, and Marke asked the girl, "Are you okay?" ”
The girl said, "It's all right." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "Are you still in the mood to care about others, are you injured?"
Marc said, "It's fine. ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "It's okay, then I'll go." There will be a period later. ”
Marc said, "What else?"
Zhao Mingwei said, "What else do you have?"
Marc said, "Can you do me a big favor?"
Zhao Mingwei said: "Say." ”
Marc said, "Teach me swordsmanship. ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "I, teach you swordsmanship?"
Marc said, "Is that okay?"
Zhao Mingwei said: "Yes." Come to Zhao's house tomorrow to find me. ”
Marc said, "Okay. ”
Wanjian City, Zhu family.
Zhu Zhong said: "I was bullied outside. ”
Zhu Changle burst into tears, nodded, and did not speak.
Zhu Zhong said: "Tell grandpa who bullied you?"
Zhu Changle said: "It's Zhao Mingwei of the Zhao family. There was also a man named Mark. ”
Zhu Zhong said: "Zhao Mingwei, one of the eight major families?"
Zhu Changle said: "Yes, it's him." ”
Zhu Zhong slowly sat on the chair, took a sip of tea and said, "You go back to the room first." ”
Zhu Changle said: "Grandpa, you must be the master for your grandson." ”
Zhu Zhong said: "I know, you go back to the room first." ”
Zhu Changle said: "That grandson retired. ”
Zhu Zhong is the head of the Zhu family and Zhu Changle's grandfather. Although this old man is already full of gray hair and is still on crutches, but you must not underestimate this old man, this old man, this old man can kill a master of the peak realm of the Martial Emperor with only a slight lift of his hand.
Zhu Zhong said: "Someone." ”
Zhu Chong's voice was not loud, but as soon as Zhu Chong's words came out, a person slowly pushed the door open. A young man walked in slowly and said respectfully, "Master of the house." ”
Zhu Zhong said, "You go and call all the four elders over." ”
The man said, "Yes." ”
The status of the four elders of the Zhu family in the Zhu family is second only to the head of the family. It is also the highest combat power of the Zhu family. These four elders are - Zhu Han, Zhu Gust, Zhu Gaoyang, and Zhu Lie.
Soon the four elders expired, and the four of them arrived together.
As soon as the four of them saw Zhu Chong, they immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Subordinates, see the head of the family." ”
Zhu Zhong said: "Get up, it's all your own family, there is no need to be so polite." ”
An obese man said, "I wonder why the head of the family has found us all today?"
Zhu Zhong said: "I brought you here to discuss with you how to attack the Zhao family. ”
The obese man said: "I, Zhu Gaoyang, am not smart and can't think of any schemes, but if I want to fight the Zhao family, I will be the first to rush to the front." ”
A gentle man said softly: "Why do you suddenly want to hit the Zhao family, we have been with the Zhao family for ten years. ”
Zhu Zhong took a sip of tea and said, "In Ten Thousand Sword City, the Zhao family has always been the head of the eight major families, but do you know how the Zhao family became the eight great families?"
The mild-mannered man said again: "Because of the Sea Sword Codex"
Zhu Zhong said: "Zhu Lie, what you said is right. ”
Yes, this gentle man is called Zhu Lie, but this person is as calm as the surface of a calm lake. But if Zhu Lie moves, his hands are as fierce and fast as the waves.
Zhu Zhong said: "Zhao Mingwei beat my grandson, so I want to help my grandson get this field back." Of course, this is just an excuse, so how to fight, I have already arranged an informant in the Zhao family, and now that the head of the Zhao family is sick, the strength of the Zhao family will inevitably be greatly reduced, this is a good Hou for us to take down the Zhao family. ”
Zhu Chong took a sip of tea and continued: "Tomorrow Zhu Han and Zhu Gaoyang will attack the main gate together, and Zhu Lie and I will attack the back. ”
Zhu gust of wind said: "What about me?"
Zhu Zhong said: "You stay at home, in case the Eight Great Families take advantage of our absence to sneak attack." ”
Zhu gust of wind said: "Yes." ”
Next.
Today is also a good day as yesterday.
But today is not as calm as yesterday, and early in the morning, Zhu Han and Zhu Gaoyang came to the door of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is the head of the eight major families in Ten Thousand Swords City. The Zhao Mansion is naturally the most majestic and imposing building in the City of Ten Thousand Swords. Most of the people of Ten Thousand Swords City have never seen what the palace of the Gad Empire looks like, but in their minds, the Zhao Mansion of the Zhao family is the closest to the palace in their hearts.
"Who are you?" asked a janitor in the Zhao Mansion.
"You're blind, I don't know you, you go and report it, and you will say that the Zhu family, Zhu Han, Zhu Gaoyang, and the two elders are visiting!" Zhu Gaoyang yelled.
"Yes, the little one will report immediately!" said Jia Ding. This housekeeper, although he is just a janitor. But that's the janitor of the Zhao Mansion. Therefore, the family feels superior. Usually looking at those ordinary people makes people feel like they are looking at people with their noses.
But as soon as he saw these big people, he immediately put away that arrogant appearance and became servile. If anyone sees this Ding like this dead now, they must be very happy. It's a pity that there is no one on this street except for the Zhu family.
Because the Zhu family has sealed this street, this is the prerogative of the eight families. In the Eight Great Families of Ten Thousand Swords City, they can all do this, and of course the common people will complain about this. But there is no way, they are just ordinary people, and they can't do anything other than complain a few words in their hearts. After all, the arms can't twist the thighs.
Soon, a young man dressed in blue walked out of Zhao's mansion. This young man is the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yukun.
said that he was the head of the family, but he had just succeeded the head of the family the previous year.
In the previous year, Zhao Yukun's grandfather, Zhao Hongyu, died. And Zhao Yukun's father, Zhao Yuanji has been frail and sickly since he was a child. He died of illness at the age of fifty-two. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Hongyu died, the position of the head of the family could only be taken over by Zhao Yukun.
Zhao Yukun looked at this large number of people and knew that it was not good, but he still said with a smile on his face: "I don't know if the two seniors are coming, and the juniors are not welcome." ”
Zhu Gaoyang said: "There is no need for Yuanying, we are here to ask for an explanation." ”
Zhao Yukun said: "Say, what is the saying?"
Zhu Gaoyang said: "Don't pretend, you kid, yesterday your baby son Zhao Mingwei injured our family, the little young master Zhu Changle, and he is still lying on the bed and can't move." ”
Zhu Gaoyang's voice was not loud, but it was cold, and his words were like the cold wind in winter, it was really cold.
But Zhao Yukun still smiled and said, "There is such a thing, I don't know." Let me ask the dog, and I will definitely give you an explanation when I find out the truth. ”
Zhu Gaoyang said: "To find out the truth, you find out the truth, I'm afraid that our old bones will be buried in the ground." ”
Zhao Yukun was already very angry at this moment, but his face was still smiling, but this smile had become extremely stiff. Zhao Yukun said: "Then what do you want?"
Zhu Gaoyang said: "We don't want to do anything, as long as you open the door and let us ask for clarification." ”
The smile on Zhao Yukun's face at this moment was completely gone, and Zhao Yukun said: "This is Zhao Mansion, don't be so presumptuous!"
Zhu Gaoyang said sharply: "If you don't let us in, don't blame us for being polite!"
Zhu Gaoyang finished speaking, but did not move. But Zhu Han, who had been standing beside Zhu Gaoyang and had not spoken, suddenly made a move. Zhu Han stabbed out with a sword, and a cold light flashed, the weather was originally warm, but when Zhu Han pulled out his sword, the weather suddenly became cold.
Zhao Yukun still stood there and didn't move, but his eyes had become as sharp as a blade.
Suddenly, two cold rays flashed, as if a gust of wind suddenly blew, and that gust of wind blocked Zhu Han's sword.
At this time, two old men suddenly appeared and blocked Zhao Yukun.
These two people Zhu Han also know, one of them is called Zhao Zheng, and the other is called Zhao Guang. In the Zhao family, it is also an elder-level existence.
Zhao Zheng said: "Whoever hurts the head of the family will die." ”
Zhao Zheng's voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, and no one would doubt the authenticity of Zhao Zheng's words.
Zhu Han looked at these two people expressionlessly, neither talking, afraid, nor seeing any chance of victory. Zhu Han didn't think about winning his sword in the first place, he just wanted to try how good this Zhao family master was.
It's just that Zhu Han's sword was blocked before it stabbed Zhao Yukun's body. He didn't even feel any of the true qi emanating from Zhao Yukun's body. There are only two possibilities for not feeling the true qi, one is that he does not have any true qi in his body, and the other is that he is a master who can hide his true qi well. Obviously, Zhao Yukun is the latter, if the head of the Zhao family doesn't have a little bit of true anger, then he won't believe it if he is killed.
Zhu Han didn't talk nonsense with them, and Zhu Han was not good at talking, he was only good at one thing, and that was fighting. In terms of speaking, Zhu Han is not as good as Zhu Gaoyang, but in terms of fighting, Zhu Han admits that he has not lost anyone in the Zhu family.
Zhu Han stabbed out a sword and stabbed at the two old men, and the two old men did not panic, only to see that the old man named Zhao Zheng also stabbed with a sword, and the sword looked just ordinary, but when Zhu Han took his sword, Zhu Han's face that had not changed for thousands of years appeared with an expression of pain. But this expression is fleeting, and no one can see it.
But Zhu Han himself knew that the power of that sword was really not to be underestimated, although he blocked that sword, but a little bright red blood also flowed from his tiger's mouth.
Zhao Zheng's sword is finished, and the next sword is Zhao Guang, Zhao Guang's sword and Zhao Zheng's sword look no different, but Zhao Guang's swordsmanship is obviously different from Zhao Zheng's, Zhao Zheng's sword is a sword frank and swinging, and the power is amazing.
But Zhao Guang's sword is different, Zhao Guang's sword is extremely secretive, like a poisonous snake, which is impossible to guard.
Zhao Guang stabbed out with a sword, Zhu Han blocked it with a sword, blocking Zhao Guang's sword was much easier than blocking Zhao Zheng's sword, but he couldn't block his sword qi.
Zhu Han frowned, his body flashed, his speed was not slow, but his abdomen was still scratched by Zhao Guang's sword qi.
At this time, Zhao Yukun, the head of the Zhao family, who had been standing in front of the door without speaking, suddenly spoke, and he said, "If you leave now, I can let you go." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, a family member ran over and said, "The people of the Zhu family have already started attacking from behind!"
Zhao Yukun said: "Who is the leader?"
Jia Ding said: "It's the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Chong." There is also an elder of the Zhu family, Zhu Lie. ”
Zhao Yukun looked at Zhu Han and Zhu Gaoyang and said, "It seems that my Zhao family is really honored today, three of the four elders of the Zhu family came, and the head of the Zhu family also came." ”
Zhao Yukun said to the family again: "Pass the order, block it with all your might, and you must not let them in!"
Jia Ding said, "Yes!"
After saying that, he ran in.
Zhu Gaoyang said: "Nephew Zhao Xian, since you don't want us to go in, then don't blame us for offending!"
Saying that, Zhu Gaoyang had already drawn the sword on his waist, and the sword light flashed, stabbing directly at Zhao Yukun.
Zhu Gaoyang is a fat man, everyone will not think that Zhu Gaoyang is a master at the first glance of him, and the sword on his waist is just an ornament in the eyes of most people. Anyway, in Ten Thousand Swords City, as long as a person is equipped with a sword, if there is no sword in Ten Thousand Swords City, it is like not wearing clothes. As long as you have money and don't worry about not being able to buy a good sword, everyone in Ten Thousand Swords City wears a sword, then naturally there will be no shortage of good swordsmiths.
Zhu Gaoyang's sword, the hilt of the sword is inlaid with six gems of different colors on each side. Extremely gorgeous, such a sword is definitely a good sword, because no one would set so many gems in a sword of average quality, that would be too outrageous.
But a good sword does not mean that the person who uses the sword has high swordsmanship, at most it just means that the person is very rich. And Zhu Gaoyang is a fat man, which is really not in line with most people's imagination of a sword hero.
Moreover, this fat man named Zhu Gaoyang rarely makes a move, and there are not many of his heroic deeds in Ten Thousand Swords City, and I have not heard of any powerful characters he has slaughtered. Most people in Ten Thousand Swords City only knew Zhu Gaoyang's two identities.
He is the elder of the Zhu family, the young master of the Zhu family, and the son of Zhu Chong.
But at this moment, when Zhu Gaoyang took out the sword, his whole temperament changed all of a sudden. He seemed to have become a different person altogether, a person with a temperament as cold as a blade.
Zhu Gaoyang stabbed out with a sword and stabbed at Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng didn't flinch, and stabbed towards Zhu Gaoyang with a sword. But what Zhao Zheng didn't expect was that Zhu Gaoyang's swordsmanship was so high.
I saw Zhu Gaoyang stabbing out with a sword, but his sword was not directly stabbing Zhao Zheng, his sword drew a circle in the air, and as soon as this circle was drawn, the sword qi in his hand gushed out in an instant, and then his sword accelerated all of a sudden, stabbing Zhao Zheng's chest.
This sword is too fast, so fast that Zhao Zheng can't dodge, and Zhao Zheng will definitely die if he receives this sword.
At this time, the head of the Zhao family, who had been standing behind the two elders and did not make a move, Zhao Yukun suddenly made a move, and no one saw how he made a move, because his speed was too fast. Everyone only saw the sword in Zhu Gaoyang's hand, and it was broken one by one.
The broken swords fell to the ground like broken diamonds, leaving only a quick, short "crackling" sound.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhu Gaoyang's forehead, and Zhao Yukun was still laughing, but what he said made both Zhu Han and Zhu Gaoyang feel cold. Zhao Yukun's voice was not loud, and it was even very gentle. It was he who said something that made Zhu Han and Zhu Gaoyang frightened, to be precise, he only said one word, and that word was: "Get out!"
Zhu Gaoyang said: "Let's go!"
After Zhu Gaoyang finished saying these three words, the entire Zhu family's army followed Zhu Gaoyang.
When Zhu Gaoyang and the others walked away, a trace of red blood appeared on the corner of Zhao Yukun's mouth. His face turned extremely pale.
Zhao Zheng and Zhao Guang hurriedly collected their swords and returned them to their sheaths. Hold Zhao Yukun.
Zhao Guangdao: "Family master, how are you?"
Zhao Yukun said: "I'm fine, just rest and rest." ”
At this time, the housekeeper ran over again, but this time he ran over with joy.
Jia Ding said: "The group of people from the Zhu family has been driven away by us. ”
Zhao Yukun said: "Okay. ”
Zhao Yukun continued: "Has anyone been injured?"
Jia Ding said: "Elder Zhao Danping, he was cut off an arm by the Zhu family patriarch. ”
Zhao Yukun looked at Jiading, and at this moment, Jiading's eyes showed sadness, a sadness that there was no way to hide.
After a long time, Zhao Yukun said, "Okay, I know." ”
Rewind the clock to half an hour ago.
Wanjian City, Zhao family, back.
Zhu Zhong led a team of people to the back of the Zhao family, although there are usually no people in and out of the back of the Zhao family, but there are also people guarding the back, although there are guards, but the guards must not be as strict as the front.
There are two families guarding the back of the Zhao family, and both of them have the strength of the peak of the samurai, which can definitely be regarded as a master in the family. But this thing can only show off its power in the family, and as soon as they meet a real master, they will stop cooking.
Zhu Lie, the elder of the Zhu family, waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew, the wind was like a knife, and then he took the two family members and died in this way. I didn't have time to say a word. When they saw Zhu Lie for the first time, they were dead.
Zhu Da, the head of the Zhu family, waved his hand, and the back of the Zhu family was opened.
Then Zhu Chong, the head of the Zhu family, took Zhu Lie, the elder of the Zhu family, and a group of people to wait in.
As soon as they entered, they saw a small garden, which looked peaceful and beautiful.
When all the people of the Zhu family entered it, the head of the Zhu family smiled: "Hahahahahahaha ”
After Zhu Chonggang finished saying this, there were four or five family members holding a sword in each direction, stabbing towards Zhu Chong.
Zhu Lie said: "Be careful, the head of the family!"
When Zhu Lie said this, he himself had already jumped up, and at the same time as he jumped up, the sword on his waist had already been pulled out, the sword light flashed, and then swept away, and in an instant, the sound of metal impact of "bell bell ......" was endless.
He just blocked most of the swords that stabbed at the head of the family with just this move.
The head of the Zhu family, Zhu Chong's face suddenly became solemn. He looked around, and everyone in those Zhao family members was in the realm of martial arts. There are even three people who have reached the peak of Martial Emperor and the realm of Martial Emperor, only one line away.
A family member asked, "Who are you who dare to trespass on the Zhao family's mansion?!"
Zhu Zhong didn't reply to his words, and he didn't even look back at him.
Zhu Lie didn't reply to his words, but Zhu Lie turned his head to look at him.
Just one glance, the guy died.
I saw Zhu Lie punch out, and in an instant, a powerful true qi rushed out, although that family was at the peak of Wuzun's realm, but after being punched by Zhao Lie, he could only spurt blood from his mouth and die.
When all the family members saw this scene, their hearts rose to their throats, and they knew that the person who came back this time was not easy to deal with.
One of the family members said, "Go and ask the elders!"
Another hurriedly replied, "Yes!"
The family member continued: "Column Sword Formation!"
As soon as the words "Column Sword Array" came out, all the family members jumped up and surrounded the group of people from the Zhu family.
Each of these members of the Zhao family only has the realm of Wuzun, but when they list the sword array, it is not only the realm of Wuzun.
The sword array connected them all, and the strength of one person could be the strength of ten people, and the strength of ten people could also be the strength of one person.
These family members listed the sword formation, even if they faced the Martial Emperor realm, they could barely fight him.
At this time, the ten swords flashed with cold sword light at the same time, stabbing towards Zhu Chong and Zhu Lie.
Zhu Zhong raised his hand slightly, and there was no sword in his hand. But when he waved his hand, three out of ten people died, and their wounds were all on the neck, and they were sword wounds.
This is a matter of a moment.
Seeing such a change in an instant, all the family members were a little scared.
At this time, a member of the Zhao family suddenly said: "I know, you are the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Chong." ”
Zhu Zhong said in a cold tone: "I know it's the old man, and I don't let it go." ”
At this time, a family member plucked up his courage and said: "Old man, you must know that this is the Zhao family, not your Zhu family, and it is not your turn to go wild!"
At this time, Zhu Lie said, "Are you finished?"
The guy stopped talking.
Zhu Lie continued: "When it's over, then let's die!"
Zhu Lie said, a sword stabbed out, this sword is nothing special, it's just fast.
It's almost here, and the Zhao family can't dodge.
But this Zhao family member is not dead.
Just when Zhu Lie's sword was about to stab the family, an invisible force blocked Zhu Lie's sword.
A person's voice came over and said, "Could it be that the elders of the Zhu family will only worry about the Zhao family?"
Zhu Lie looked around, and Zhu Chong also looked around.
Neither of them could tell where the sound was coming from.
At this time, a long-bearded old man in a blue robe slowly descended from the sky.
When the Zhao family saw the old man, they said in unison, "Hello elder." ”
The old man said, "The old man's name is Zhao Danping, and he is one of the elders of the Zhao family. ”
Zhu Lie said: "My name is Zhu Lie. ”
Zhu Lie continued: "Old man, do you know how many elders there are in this Zhao family?"
Zhao Danping said: "This old man doesn't know. ”
Zhu Lie said: "But I know one thing. ”
Zhao Danping said: "What's the matter?"
Zhu Lie said: "I know that the Zhao family will soon have one less elder. ”
When Zhu Lie said the word "horse", Zhu Lie had already made a move, stabbing Zhao Danping with a sword.
Zhao Danping looked at the sword that Zhu Lie stabbed towards him, he raised a hand, his speed was not fast, it could even be said to be very slow. But Zhu Lie's sword was blocked by one of his hands like this. I saw him lightly punch out a palm, but this seemingly soft palm actually has great power.
Zhu Lie's sword was blocked back by Zhao Danping in this way.
Zhu Lie's tiger's mouth had already shed red blood, but on the other hand, Zhao Danping was still light.
Zhao Danping said: "There are two of you, right?" ”
Zhu Lie said, "Yes. ”
Zhao Danping said: "If I'm not mistaken, there are also your people at the front door, right?"
Zhu Zhong said: "Yes. ”
Zhao Danping said: "What are you Zhu family doing in our Zhao family?"
Zhu Zhong said: "Your Zhao Mingwei injured my grandson, and the old man came here to ask for an explanation." ”
Zhao Danping suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Zhu Lie said, "Is there anything funny about this?"
Zhao Danping said: "Old man, I have lived for so long, do you think I will believe this kind of excuse." ”
Zhao Danping said and laughed once.
At this time, Zhu Chong's sword stabbed out, and Zhu Chong's sword was not unpleasant.
But Zhao Danping, who was still smiling, dodged him.
Zhao Danping said: "I see, you are not here to ask for an explanation, you are here to rob." Come to the gun Zhao family's "Sea Sword Dictionary".
Maybe his own ideas were broken by Zhao Danping, Zhu Chong stabbed out with a sword, and stabbed out six swords in a row.
This time, Zhao Danping was defeated and retreated, but Zhao Danping only retreated, and Zhu Zhong did not hurt him.
Zhao Danping said: "You have a good look, this is one of the swordsmanship on the sword codex. ”
Saying that, Zhao Danping suddenly turned back to advance, and an extra sword suddenly appeared in his originally empty hand.
He slashed towards Zhu Zhong with a sword, and suddenly the sword qi surged like a river.
Zhu Chong's face changed, and he retreated five zhang in an instant, no, three zhang to be exact, because there were still two battles in which he was beaten by this sword qi and flew out.
Zhu Zhong stopped and propped up the ground with his sword and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Lie said: "The head of the family!"
Then Zhu Lie looked at Zhao Danping and immediately went up to find him desperately.
Zhu Zhong said sharply: "Zhu Lie, you stop!"
After Zhu Zhong finished saying this, he propped up his body vigorously and said, "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is exquisite, and I have finally learned it." ”
Zhu Zhong said: "Let's go!"
Zhao Danping said: "Stop. ”
Zhu Zhong said: "What else is going on?"
Zhao Danping said: "Leave you an arm." ”
Zhu Lie said: "The surname is Zhao, don't go too far!"
Zhao Danping still said lightly: "It was you who went too far first." You think my Zhao family comes and goes whenever you want. You two must break an arm here today, or you won't want to get out of here!"
Zhu Lie stabbed out with a sword, and he said viciously: "I can break an arm, I broke your arm!"
Zhao Danping said: "Okay, I'll cut you off!"
Saying that, the sword just now appeared in Zhao Danping's hand again, and the sword flashed, and his sword had already been cut down.
But this time, Zhao Danping's sword did not cut off Zhu Lie's arm.
Because Zhu Chong, the head of the Zhu family, was already in front of Zhu Lie.
Zhu Chong's sword had been drawn, and the sword light spread in all directions. A protective cover was formed.
But obviously, this protective shield consumed a lot of true qi, so that Zhu Chong's face turned pale as paper all of a sudden.
Zhao Danping said: "This protective cover of yours is good, but you still can't stop me." ”
Saying that, Zhao Danping put down the sword he was holding tightly, but the sword did not fall to the ground. The sword spun quickly after Zhao Danping let go. And the sword aura on the sword became more and more majestic and terrifying.
Then I heard a loud "bang!" Zhu Chong's protective cover shattered.
Zhu Chong's whole person was beaten by that terrifying true qi and flew out a long way.
Not only that, Zhao Danping's sword pierced Zhu Chong's heart.
Zhu Lie yelled, "Patriarch!"
But when the sword was about to stab Zhu Chong, the sword stopped, and the sword was suspended in the air. And Zhu Zhong was distracted, and he sat on the ground in embarrassment.
Zhao Danping said: "I won't kill you, I just need your arm!"
But just as Zhao Danping finished saying this, he screamed miserably, and his own arm fell off.
Zhao Danping's stab straight into Zhu Chong's chest, but Zhu Chong's entire body disappeared all at once. There was not a drop of blood on the ground.
Zhao Danping said: "This is a doppelganger. ”
At this time, Zhao Danping, who was disheveled and embarrassed, said: "You can't think of it, I broke your arm." ”
Although Zhao Danping had one arm broken, he still had an arm. That sword was back in Zhao Danping's hand. Zhao Danping said: "I'll kill you!"
It was here that Zhu Lie said: "Everyone protects the head of the family!"
Zhu Lie said that he rushed forward, and seeing that Zhu Lie, the elder of the Zhu family, rushed up, then those members of the Zhu family were even more afraid. They rushed to Zhao Danping together.
Zhu Zhong said: "Hurry up, don't fall in love!"
Zhu Lie said: "Family master, you go first, and we will arrive later." ”
Zhu Chongyi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
At this moment, it is already noon.
Marc came to the Zhao Mansion.
The Zhao Mansion of the Zhao family in Ten Thousand Swords City is the best place to find, so Marke found the Zhao Mansion without much effort.
Marc stepped forward and said, "Hello. ”
The two family members in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion ignored him, as if he didn't exist at all.
Marc was not angry, and continued: "My name is Marc, and I am here to find Zhao Mingwei. ”
At this time, a doorman spoke: "Are you a friend of the young master?"
Marker said, "yes, oh, no, no. ”
The guy said, "Is it really?"
Mark's voice was already small, and when this family asked like this, his voice became even quieter.
"I only met him yesterday," Marc said. ”
At this time, Zhao Mingwei walked out of the door, his face full of exhaustion. But when he looked up and saw Mark, his godless eyes were refreshed.
Zhao Mingwei said: "You are here." ”
Marc said, "Yes, you promised to teach me swordsmanship. ”
Jia Ding asked, "Is this brother really a friend of the young master?"
Zhao Mingwei said: "Yes. ”
Zhao Mingwei beckoned to Marker and said, "Come in, come in." ”
When Marc came in, he couldn't be more shocked by the scene in front of him, he had no way to describe what he saw, it was spectacular. This kind of spectacle is that I can't think of a very good and appropriate word to describe it.
But when he turned his head to look at Zhao Mingwei, he could always feel that he seemed to be desperately suppressing some kind of bad emotion.
Marker plucked up his courage and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Mingwei said, "What's wrong?"
"I always feel like you're on your mind, and if you don't mind, you can talk to me," Marker said. Of course, this premise is that you are willing. ”
Zhao Mingwei barely squeezed out a smile, he was really happy when he heard Marker say this, but now let him have no bitter smile at all, this is really an impossible thing.
Zhao Mingwei said: "Thank you. ”
Marc said, "Thank you, thank me for what?"
Zhao Mingwei scratched his head, looking no different from an ordinary boy. He said, "Thank you, thank you for being willing to listen to me." ”
Marker said, "No thanks, didn't you just say we were friends." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "Yes, it's a friend. ”
Zhao Yukun suddenly shouted: "Mingwei, Mingwei." ”
Zhao Mingwei turned his head to his father, Zhao Yukun, and said respectfully: "Father." ”
Zhao Yukun pointed at Marc and asked, "Who is he?"
Zhao Mingwei said: "He is a friend of mine, named Marke. ”
Zhao Yukun said to Marke: "Hello. ”
Malke glanced at Zhao Yukun, then lowered his head and said, "Hello." ”
Marc didn't dare to look at Zhao Yukun at a glance, this is not to say that Zhao Yukun has anything to fear. It's just that Marc doesn't know why, he always feels like he's about to suffocate when he approaches this person.
Zhao Yukun glanced at Malke, but he didn't care, he just felt that this child was too shy.
Zhao Yukun said: "You just stay at home these days and don't go out, you know?"
Zhao Mingwei said: "Got it." ”
Zhao Mingwei asked again: "How is Grandpa Zhao Danping?"
Zhao Yukun said: "His life is not in danger, you can rest assured." ”
Zhao Mingwei asked, "What about his arm?"
Zhao Yukun said: "The doctor said that he could pick it up, but he didn't want to." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "Why?"
Zhao Yukun said: "He said that he should remember the hatred of this arm, and he also said that he was afraid that if he connected this arm, he would forget the pain of the scar, and he also reminded himself to be careful when fighting in the future, be careful, be careful, and be careful." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "Doesn't he know that if you don't connect your arm in one day, you can't connect it?"
Zhao Yukun said: "He knows, but he just refuses to accept it." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "He has always been like this. ”
Zhao Mingwei shook his head and said, "No, I'll persuade her." ”
Zhao Yukun stopped him and said, "Don't go, you also know that once he decides something, even ten cows can't pull it back." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "But ......"
Zhao Yukun said: "Don't say it, as soon as he sleeps, don't make any noise about him." ”
Zhao Mingwei nodded and said, "Okay." ”
After Zhao Yukun walked away, Marc asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Mingwei reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay." ”
Then Zhao Mingwei paused and said, "Aren't you looking for me to learn swords?"
Marker said, "yes." ”
Zhao Mingwei walked to a wide green grass and said, "Then let's start now?"
Marc nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "You watch me dance first." ”
Marc nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Zhao Mingwei stretched out his hand, and a light flashed on his originally empty hand, and after a light, a sword had already appeared in his hand.
Zhao Mingwei said: "You have a good look. ”
Speaking of Zhao Mingwei, first a stab, then a flash, and then a sweep. In an instant, the overwhelming sword qi swept Rulai, which made Marc feel a little frightened at first, but when the sword qi approached Mark, it quickly dissipated again.
Marke stood on the side of the grass like a piece of wood, he looked at Zhao Mingwei, and he suddenly had a feeling that this young man dancing with a sword in the sun would definitely become a figure that would make the entire Tianwu Continent tremble.
Although Malke and Zhao Mingwei only met yesterday, although the current Malke didn't know how big the entire Tianwu Continent was, and even he didn't know how big the entire Zhao Mansion was, he didn't know why he just felt like this.
Zhao Mingwei said: "Do you see clearly?"
Marc said embarrassedly: "Your speed is too fast, can you slow down, slow down a little more." ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "Take out your sword, and I'll teach you." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Mingwei took out the delicate, small, toy-like sword.
Zhao Mingwei looked at it and said, "Where's your sword?"
Marc said, "This is it. ”
Zhao Mingwei looked at Mark's eyes extremely strangely at this moment, as if he saw someone eating with his nose and holding chopsticks with his feet.
Zhao Mingwei said: "You TMD, aren't you kidding me." ”
Mark, still like a piece of wood, said stupidly, "No, I only have this sword." ”
Zhao Mingwei walked over slowly, lent his sword to Mark, and said, "You can use mine first." ”
Slowly, cautiously, Marker took the sword and said, "Thank you." ”
In fact, the first moment Marc received Zhao Mingwei's sword, he knew that this sword was not easy to handle, because this sword was too heavy for him.
But this was his first sword in the true sense of the word, and he couldn't help but be excited.
Zhao Mingwei watched Marker holding his sword, dancing staggeringly, as if he was drunk alone. He shook his head. Because he could see that this man named Marker had no sword skills at all.
But the corners of Zhao Mingwei's mouth were filled with a smile, and he was inexplicably happy watching him dance the sword. If someone else comes to him to call swordsmanship, and this person has almost no skills, then he will definitely not be able to teach it, no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry you give, it is useless.
He is the young master of the Zhao family, he has never been short of money to spend, and he has never needed to please anyone.
But this time, he decided to teach this man named Mark, swordsmanship, as long as he was willing to learn.
There is nothing particular about it, just because they are friends.
The relationship between people is sometimes so strange, some people have known each other for a lifetime, but you don't treat them as friends, and some people you only see once, and you treat them as friends.
Mark's sweaty head said, "What do you think, how did I dance?"
Zhao Mingwei said, "Have you practiced swordsmanship before?"
"Hardly," Marc said. ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "Then where did you originally live?"
Marc said: "Qingxue Province. ”
Zhao Mingwei said, "Is there no one in Qingxue Province who can teach you swordsmanship?"
"No one in my hometown knows how to use a sword," Marc said. ”
Zhao Mingwei said: "So you are here, Ten Thousand Swords City. ”
Marc nodded and said, "Yes." ”
