"Whew~" Ah Bi took his hand away from the top of the flame bird's head and exhaled deeply: "This smell, I remember it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"That way, right?"

"I didn't expect that there would be monsters who would dare to bully you......"

"Looks like I haven't made a big deal lately......"

"Someone who dares to touch my princess?"

"Hmph, I need to let them know who they can't mess with. With a wave of her left hand, a flame, the size of a house, erupted directly from her palm, and shot towards the village below with a "raging" burning sound.

"Help, it's a fire!"

"Let go of me, my baby is still inside!"

"Oh my God, what I've achieved over the years!"

"Help, who's going to help-"

……

"Hahahahaha, hahahahaha......" Looking at the crowd of people who were in a hurry, helpless, fleeing in all directions, begging for help, and seeing that the fire had spread in an instant, and the entire village was turned into a sea of fire, Princess Abi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Let's go!" Without caring about the lives of those humans, Princess Abi waved her arm and flew into the distance with a few scattered flame birds around her.

"That's, what's that?"

"Those weird birds?"

"Youkai, that's a youkai!"

"Damn, it must have been done by a damn youkai, otherwise how could it catch fire for no reason!"

"Damn youkai!"

……

"Hmph!" Princess Abbi's phoenix eyes were cold, and a flame was held up in the palm of her left hand to the sky, and she smashed it into the village with a wave of her arm: "I don't know what is dead or alive!"

"Ah, that's—"

"Run, run—"

……

In the blink of an eye, the people in the village who had survived were turned into pitch-black char in the scorching flames, slowly crumbling apart.

"Hmph, just humans, dare to be disrespectful to my Flame Bird clan, if I hadn't been in a hurry, you must know what real pain is. ”

Stepping on a cloud of air, Princess Abi flew into the distance.

When Seung-ri had finally moved back with enough food, the sun had set and the moon had risen.

The bright moon sprinkled the moonlight like water, standing outside the cave and looking at it, everything seemed so quiet, but this kind of silence seemed very strange to Chengli, although he knew that it was normal for no birds to call, those birds had been frightened by the people in the cottage, and there were only some faint birdsong in the distance.

However, for Chengli, who has seen so many abnormal things, he always feels that the atmosphere is gloomy, especially Jiudaoyi's unusual behavior, Jiudaoyi proposed to teach him swordsmanship, which made him very excited, but more vigilant - there is no free lunch in the world, and Jiudaoyi is not a good man and a woman.

However, for Chengli, who only has brute strength, it can be said that it is urgent to get a way to become stronger, and without skills, he can't fully exert his strength.

"What do you think is the most important thing in swordsmanship?" asked Jiudao Yibenduo with his back to Chengli.

Pretending to be mysterious, Cheng Cheng was a little disdainful, but he still thought about it carefully, and finally replied: "Skill." ”

"Skill?" Nine Daoyi Hondo shook his head: "Skill is not the most important thing. ”

"Strength. "One force will drop ten.

"Not exactly. ”

"That's speed?"

"Speed? or not all. ”

"I can't think of it. "Cheng Li simply gave up, let's hurry up and teach some practical skills, I've heard enough of all kinds of big truths, and now for myself, improving my strength is the most important thing.

"That's how to kill each other. Jiudao Yibenda suddenly turned around and drew his knife, a cold knife light flashed, and before Chengli could react, the blade of the long knife in Jiudaoyibenda's hand was already tightly attached to Chengli's neck.

"You're dead. Jiu Daoyi took the knife, retracted it into the sheath, looked at Chengli still staying there, and said: "This is the most important thing in knife skills, how to kill people as quickly as possible." ”

"How to figure out how to kill the other party in the shortest possible time, and do it, this is the essence of the Nine Righteous Streams. ”

It always feels a bit extreme, but, it sounds very powerful, Chengli touched his neck, and the fear of almost dying has not yet dissipated.

"Keep accumulating experience, keep exercising your skills, and at the last glance, you can find flaws, and kill the other party before they can react," Jiu Dao Yi Hondo looked at Cheng Li and said slowly: "That's how I came in the first place." ”

"Then I'm going to do this too?" That's too time-consuming, Jiudaoyi has spent more than ten years.

"No, there's not much time left," Kudo Yoshihonda gripped the hilt of the knife and bent down, "You just have to remember how you feel now." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiu Dao Yi Benduo slashed at the waist with a knife, compared to his rapid knife before, this time the slash was much, much slower, and Chengli could see the trajectory when he pulled out the knife.

Dodging, without the slightest hesitation, Chengli jumped back and dodged.

"Wrong. Jiudao Yibenda caught up, his body turned around, and the knife momentum that had been exhausted accelerated by the momentum, and he slashed it again, and he leaned back obliquely, the clothes on his chest were directly cut, and the skin on his chest even felt the chill of the tip of the knife.

It was just a little bit, just a little bit that he was slashed! The chill in his chest suddenly spread to his whole body.

Just when Chengli wanted to regain his footing, Jiudao Yihonda had already accumulated his strength and cut it down directly with a straight slash from top to bottom.

It was over, and Cheng Li could only watch Sen Han's knife light slash towards him.

The knife stopped, and the tip of the knife hovered on the tip of Chengli's nose, Chengli had already felt the cold unique to the ironwork, but what made Chengli care the most was that the whole knife seemed to be controlled by a machine, without the slightest shaking and shaking.

"You were wrong from the beginning," Jiu Dao Yi Hondo withdrew his long knife, watched Cheng Li slowly get up from the ground, and said, "You were wrong at the beginning, do you know where you went wrong?"

"I don't know. Cheng Li's mind hadn't turned around yet, and he still stopped at the knife that wouldn't shake.

"You didn't pull out your own knife," Jiu Daoyi Benduo noticed Chengli's distraction, but didn't say anything, still explaining there: "No matter where you are, no matter what happens, you must firmly remember one thing and pull out the knife in your hand as soon as possible." ”

"The knife is the foundation of your survival, your most reliable weapon, hundreds of times more reliable than your bare-handed struggle. ”

"In the face of someone else's attack, you can dodge according to the situation, you can escape, you can rush up and fight hard, but no matter what you do, you must draw your knife as soon as possible. ”

"I see. Chengli tightened his grip on the hilt, "Go on." ”

"Good. "Nine Daoyi Honda slashed at him again

"The body should be low. ”

“……”

"Keep your feet steady. ”

“……”

"Always keep an eye on each other's hands. ”

“……”

"Keep your feet moving, and steady doesn't just make you stand there. ”

“……”

"Be flexible. ”

“……”

"Keep your feet steady, and be clear when you need to be flexible and when you're calm. ”

“……”

"The arms should be flexible, don't be stuck by your usual habits, and use the whole arm, not just the palm. ”

“……”

"The body should be low. ”

“……”

"There must be strength in the sword, not lightness"

“……”

……

"That, Master Mage," Kazuko noticed the shouts coming from outside the cave from time to time, and asked Jing who was resting against the mountain wall in a low voice, "That, what is Kasaku-sama?"

"It's just some basic common sense that a samurai needs to master," Jing pouted with disdain: "There is no skill at all, and it is not complete, and there are a few more important things missing." ”

"Huh?" Kazuko was a little strange, "Well, isn't the mage-sama a mage?"

"Not all mages need to accumulate mana and practice spells," Jing opened her eyes and glanced at Kazuko: "Mages who have no talent have been trained to have some other skills since they were young, such as swordsmanship, archery, potion making, and drawing spells. ”

"Oh. Kazuko didn't understand what Jing said at all, but responded politely.

"A mage who doesn't have a talent can only leave the residency like me, but since the people who are cultivated are destined to be expelled, they will be deprived of all their previous identities, and they will be hated by those people in their hearts, but do you know why there are still educational institutions?" Jing's words were full of helplessness.

"Why?" asked Kazuko cautiously, realizing that she seemed to have offended the mage in front of her.

"Because if you find a child with a great talent, those mages can return to the family and enjoy a life that they couldn't enjoy before," Jing leaned her head against the mountain wall, "and enjoy what they will want so much later." ”

"Every mage who has been expelled is full of hope at the beginning, hating the family and at the same time full of self-confidence, thinking that he was expelled completely because those people were blind, thinking that he would live a better life if he left there, that there would be more opportunities, that there would be all kinds of adventures, that there would be an incomparably wonderful life, and finally in the experience- They have chosen a good name for their life after the expulsion, they have made themselves stronger through the experience, and then they have to vent their anger on the family, and then they will re-establish the family and carry it forward - everyone who has been expelled thinks like this. ”

"......" Kazuko didn't speak, just listened quietly, and there were those shouts outside in his ears.

"Of course that's just a delusion," Jing's eyes became distant, "It's more that I was killed, eaten, and torn apart by youkai in the challenge of not being able to measure myself......"

"Killed, eaten, torn ......"

Listening to these terrifying words muttered from time to time, Kazuko was a little frightened, and couldn't help but shrink back, just asked in a low voice, "Master Mage, are you okay?"

......" Jing stopped muttering and smiled at Kazuko, "I'm fine." ”

"Oh. ”

"Okay, it's late, let's sleep. ”

"Hmm. ”

"By the way, find a time to tell Kasaku what I said, and don't let that guy find out. ”

"Huh?"

"Sleep. ”

"Oh. ”

……

"Hands with strength, hold ......"

……

The sound outside the cave has not stopped, isn't Kasaku tired? With this in mind, Kazuko fell asleep.
