Chapter 3: A New Beginning

On a sunny afternoon, two children chased and frolicked by the river, and laughter echoed all around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wait for me, brother!" A child shouted in a childlike voice to his brother running in front of him.

"Really, why is my brother so slow?" The older brother turned around, stopped, and waited for the younger brother behind him to catch up. "Hurry up, or my father will scold us."

"Hmm!" The younger brother caught up and took his hand, and they ran while laughing and laughing.

"You can't do that." A blonde girl suddenly appeared next to him, and they stopped to look at her. The girl smiled slightly, parting the clasped hands of the two children, and she took her brother's hand.

"Why?" My brother asked. In the next second, his chest was pierced by a sharp sword, and he fell to the ground with a groan.

"Brother!" The younger brother shouted. The girl smiled and made a quiet gesture to him, "You can't do that, Kojo."

"If you hate me, then please live with this hatred. When you gain power, come and kill me at any time. A cold man said to his brother with a blank face.

The surrounding scene has changed, there is no longer a slowly flowing river, bright sunshine, and joyful laughter. There was only a blood-stained room, a dark sky and a blood-red moon.

Yuwen Cheng sat up from the bed suddenly, six years later, these scenes are still vivid. In the past six years, Yuwencheng has not stopped searching his brother Yuwenqi, but he has found nothing.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head, got out of bed and poured a glass of water. Grabbed a brand new coat from the hanger, with a pair of hands holding swords painted on the back.

It's the weekend, and the central market in the village is full of people and the roads are flooded. Yuwen Cheng picked up the demon knife, jumped out of his own window, and landed on the roof of another building. He chose the most convenient and quick path: to go to the roof.

The destination of Uwen Castle is the Yanagi Commune, which is the base of the sword-wielding troops and the office of the patriarch. Today is the day for the newcomers of the "Sword Bearer" to report for duty.

"Xiaocheng," a gentle female voice sounded in his ears, "are you really going to be a lackey of the patriarch of the Liu family?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly, Xiaoqing. I'm just using those guys' intelligence networks to hunt down the man. Yuwen Cheng replied.

"Huh? What if you are taken advantage of? ”

"Hmph, don't worry. I'm the strongest with you. ”

"That's right!"

Yuwen Cheng also smiled. He jumped up and down on the roof of his house and arrived in less than five minutes in the commune of Liu, two kilometers away.

As soon as he landed, a middle-aged man of medium stature beckoned to Yuwencheng and walked over: "You are indeed here."

Yuwencheng also greeted him: "Yes, I will not live up to the high expectations that the teacher has placed on me!"

This middle-aged man is Yuwencheng's second teacher after his father. His name is Liu Dao'an, who was also a member of the "Sword Bearer" and has now retired from the army. After the extermination incident, all the documents about the Yuwen faction were recovered by the people of the Liu family. Yuwen Cheng no longer has a way to learn his own sword technique. At this time, Liu Daoan readily agreed to teach the Yuwen City Liu clan's sword skills and swordsmanship. So, he became a teacher in Yuwen City.

"That's good. Go ahead, it's about to begin. Liu Daoan grinned and put his hand on Yuwencheng's shoulders to send him in.

There were about a dozen people in the hall inside. All of them are newcomers to the "Sword Bearer". Yuwen Cheng found a place to sit down, and he observed the other people's weapons. It can be described as varied: there are those who use knives like Yuwencheng, there are also those who use machetes, and there are also various weapons such as swords, spears, knives, and hammers.

"Attention everyone! Now let's get started! A man shouted from the high platform, and Yuwencheng recognized him as the white-haired man who had come to see him in the hospital six years ago.

"Those with sword spirits are standing on my left hand, and those without sword spirits are standing on my right hand."

Yuwen Cheng walked to his left without thinking, and Wu Xiaoqing's voice sounded: "Xiaocheng, didn't you say that you want to hide my existence?"

"Ah, I'm sorry." Yu Wencheng immediately walked to the white-haired man's right hand.

"Stand still." After he finished speaking, he walked up to everyone and bowed deeply, "I am your captain, Liu Yunfei." From this day forward, you will all obey my commands! ”

"There is a very urgent task that requires our fourth detachment to attack. It's a bit sudden, but be prepared! ”

"Xiaocheng, this is your first mission, you have to behave well."

"Yes, yes, understood."

"The enemy is one of the 'Slashers', who attacked one of our watchtowers. Our goal is to catch him or kill him. ”

"The Slashers are a mercenary organization, each with a powerful sword spirit. All, they are also strong in their own right. Please be careful! ”

"Are they really strong enough to need a detachment to deal with?" One of the people in the group shouted.

Liu Yunfei sneered: "You'll know when you see it."

All the staff gathered at the south gate of the village, where was a dense forest.

Liu Yunfei stood at the front of the team, carrying a long sword behind him, and he said: "There are fourteen people in the fourth team, and there are eight people with sword spirits. In the event of a battle, the team members with the sword spirit will be given priority. Do you understand? ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go!"

The whole group entered the woods, and the dense woods blocked almost all the sunlight. The woods were very dark, and the road was so narrow that only two or three people could walk side by side.

Yu Wencheng put on the hood of his coat and walked alone at the back of the line. Wu Xiaoqing's voice sounded: "Listen, Xiaocheng." In the event of a fight, you try to use a short knife to assist in the battle. Don't pull out the demon knife. ”

"I know, I can't reveal your identity, can I. Why do demonic things reveal the identity of gods? ”

"You don't have to ask so much, just do what I say."

"Yes, yes."

Not long after Yuwencheng lowered his head and walked, the person in front of him stopped a little and walked side by side with Yuwencheng.

"Hello, I'm Bai Kun, please advise!" He smiled and held out his right hand.

"Uh...... Oh, please take care of it. Yuwen Cheng shook his hand. Yuwen Cheng was a little flattered, after all, he had been ostracized by most people for six years, and few people were really willing to make friends with him.

"Do you have a sword spirit?" Bai Kun asked.

"Uh...... No. ”

"Well, I have a sword spirit, but he seems to be quite weak."

"Is that ...... 'Slasher' really strong?" This is the first time in six years that Yuwencheng has taken the initiative to chat with others.

"Well, that's not your average strong." Bai Kun had a frightened expression on his face, "They are employed by many dangerous people to harass or destroy a village, or even a country. And it's a solo action! ”

"That's right." Yu Wencheng held his chin thoughtfully as he walked. He had a hunch that his brother Ubunzaki was in that mercenary organization.

"Hey! There's a watchtower in front of you! ”

Beyond the forest border, you can see a devastated battlefield and two devastated watchtowers, with corpses lying on the ground. Everyone saw this scene, and there was no one who did not show a look of horror.

"Let's see if there are any survivors!" Liu Yunfei commanded them to check and count the dead body by corpse, and finally came to a sad conclusion that everyone was saddened: all the fifty militiamen stationed here were wiped out.

"Looks like this must have been done by the 'Slasher'." Liu Yunfei whispered angrily, and there was a lot of discussion in the team.

"Although the militia here is very weak, it is too strong to kill all 50 people by one person." A person behind Yuwen Cheng said in horror. Yuwen Cheng sighed, and suddenly a strong wind blew behind him, and a few drops of water splashed on his neck. Yuwen Cheng turned back and looked, and the head of the person who spoke just now was gone.

"it!" Yuwen Cheng was taken aback and subconsciously took a step back. When the others turned around when they heard Yuwen Cheng's exclamation, his body spurted blood like a fountain and fell.

"W-w......hen" The others were also taken aback like Yuwen Cheng, and were stunned by the sudden death.

"Damn, I didn't feel any enemy breath at all!" Yuwen Cheng said unwillingly. At this moment, a man carrying a ridiculously large knife slowly walked behind them, all the while carrying the head of the man who had just died.

"Hello everyone! I'm Wayne from 'The Slasher'. Come and play with me for a little longer! ”
