Volume 5 The Contest Opens The Storm Surges, the Flowers Fall in the City, and the Blood Falls Chapter 246 The Gaiden Hundred Tempering Battles and the Doll Army
More than 20 years ago, the war-torn Handi.
The closer you get to the west, the more chaotic it becomes. The devastation caused by the war, starting from the border of the Dahan Empire, continued to radiate towards the borders of the country. The war was pervasive, affecting the harvest of crops, and the large number of casualties on the battlefield made the front army constantly absorb the nutrients of the surrounding towns and villages, and batch after batch of strong men were pulled onto the battlefield to fill the lack of the army.
There are more and more people who can't survive, and there are more robbers and bandits. Sometimes it is not the foreign army that brings the harm, but the compatriots from within who wield the butcher's knife first, just for some money and food.
The more you walk towards the battlefield to the west, the more you can feel the strong contrast between this place and the east, especially the capital city of Jinling and its surroundings.
Thinking of those dignitaries and nobles who live in Jinling all the year round, they would not think that they are the same Han Kingdom, but the difference is like mud. They live above the clouds, and the people here are struggling in the dirt.
The young man who called himself Shura, since he left the Sword House, he came all the way to the west. He didn't ride a horse this way, but only relied on a pair of legs and walked thousands of miles away.
It was quite rich, and it was given to him by Bai Yu before he left. Originally, there were still a group of horses that could eat and live long distances and bumps, but because he insisted on walking, he sold them to the roadside stables after leaving Jinling.
The road was dusty, his shoes and pants were full of mud, but the white sword robe on his body was still spotless. On the chest of the sword robe, there is a small sword embroidered, which is the symbol of the sword house.
Although he was kicked out of the Sword House, he never complained about anyone from beginning to end, let alone his teacher Luo Ning. For Luo Ning, Shura only has gratitude in his heart, after all, during his time in the Sword House, this imperial great swordsman has always taught himself swordsmanship without discrimination.
That's why he cherished the sword robe on his body so much, and he always wore it on his body, which represented the first person in his life to teach him swordsmanship.
A sword robe, a three-foot long sword, and one person traveled thousands of miles alone.
There is only one purpose, which is to go to the cruel battlefield, which is also the direction of his hometown, to find those Luo dogs with his own strength, and to avenge the blood and revenge.
It was getting dark, and Shura looked into the distance, but he didn't see any villages and towns nearby. It seems that he can only sleep in the wild again, but it doesn't matter, he has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open along the way.
None of this mattered to him, because he had only one thing in his heart from beginning to end, and that was revenge. For an avenger, he doesn't care about those things that are enjoyed.
Just as Shura was about to go further, when it was completely dark, he stopped, looked for a suitable place to rest, hunted a few wild creatures to satisfy his stomach, and recuperated until tomorrow to continue his journey.
Just as Shura was looking around for a good place to shelter from the wind and rain, a noise came from ahead. Just listening to the voice, Shura knew that there were four people coming in front of him, and one of them should have been held hostage.
But so what? There were so many similar things along the way, and Shura only thought about going to the battlefield for revenge, and he didn't have any interest in doing chivalrous actions for these things.
However, if you have no intention of dealing with this kind of thing, it does not mean that the other party will not provoke you. saw a group of four people gradually appear in the field of vision, and sure enough, as he felt, one of the other party was obviously held hostage and walked forward.
And the kidnapper turned out to be a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, the little boy looked sluggish, he should have been frightened by these three big men, and he had lost the ability to think.
The head of the other party has a pockmarked face, but his eyes are surprisingly bright. He saw Shura from afar, and after looking up and down, there was a hint of greed on his face.
His companion obviously saw the change in the eldest brother, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, there is a lonely one, can you do it?"
"Of course you can't let it go, haven't you seen this guy wearing a sword robe? I've seen the style of that sword robe, it's the style of Jinling Sword House. Mazi said as he stared at Shura with a face.
"Shall we do it then?" asked another in a low voice. "The other party is a swordsman, but I'm afraid it's hard stubble. ”
"What are you afraid of, I'm still afraid of him?" said with a pockmarked face, "Besides, I can understand the Jianlu, all the children who come out are rich children, and they have enough oil and water on their bodies." And these rich people are arrogant embroidered pillows, if you really want to fight, you may be scared to pee your pants!"
"Hahaha, brother, what you said is too unbearable, isn't it? How can there be such a waste? can you still be scared to pee your pants?"
"That's what you don't know, where have those rich people seen blood? all of them have eyes above the top, and if they really want to see blood, they look like a little chicken!"
"Then we can't let go of this fat, he must have a lot of money on him, right?"
"Maybe after doing this ticket, it will be enough for our brothers to eat and wear for a long time!"
Just as Shura and the other party were about to pass by, one of them shouted, "Hey, boy, do you know the rules here?"
When Shura heard the other party's words, he stopped and looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice, "Are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense! Is there anyone else here but you?"
"Oh, I don't know what the rules are, and I don't want to know. Shura shook her head and continued walking.
As soon as Mazi's face flashed, he stopped in front of Shura, tilted his head and chuckled, and said, "As the saying goes, mountains have mountain roads, and water has waterways. When my brother arrives at our realm, it's not okay to go without following the rules. ”
Shura looked at the person in front of him, stopped and said, "Oh, what are your rules here?"
"Just give us some of the money you have!" said a younger brother behind him.
"Of course, you hand over the money bag first, and we'll leave you more when we're in a good mood." Another man spoke.
"What if I say no?" Shura's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the three people surrounding him.
"That's a toast and don't eat and drink!" After speaking, a man behind him pulled out the sharp knife on his waist and stabbed Shura in the back of the heart, this shot was to the point.
With a bang, I saw Shura quickly draw his long sword and turn around and sweep it, and the man with the sharp knife flew backwards in response, and large swaths of blood spilled out from his bulging stomach, forming a red canvas in the air.
With a bang, the man landed heavily at the feet of another man. Looking at it again, the internal organs of the fallen man's stomach were mixed with blood flowing all over the ground, accompanied by a gradually faint moan, and at a glance he knew that he would not survive.
The other man looked at his companion, who had lost his life in a blink of an eye, and his face was pale with fright, and he was stunned and stunned. And the head of the pockmarked face was not frightened, and immediately pulled out his long knife from his waist, and said viciously, "How dare you kill my brother?
After saying that, Lin Mazi brandished a long knife and killed Shura, Qichu Shura didn't care, but after fighting with the other party, he was slightly surprised.
Not for anything else, just from the process of fighting, Shura could find that the other party must be a qi refiner, and his control over the body and the power that burst out were even stronger than those students of the inner vision of the sword house when they were in the sword house!
"Are you a Qi Refiner of the Qi Realm?" asked coldly after Shura forced the other party away.
"Hmph, the kid still has some eyesight. Lin Mazi said proudly, "That's right, I just stepped into this realm not long ago, and with my quick knife, you can't win against me." ”
"With such strength, why don't you join the army and kill Luo Dog?" asked Shura.
"Why should I go to the battlefield? Isn't it good to live here?" Lin Mazi said inexplicably.
"With such strength, it's a pity not to kill the enemy. Shura shook his head and said, "In that case, it's useless to keep you." ”
"Joke! Don't you still think you can beat me now?" Lin Mazi laughed, and then suddenly rushed towards Shura, the knife in his hand was really like his nickname, and the speed of slashing out was terrifying.
However, Shura's sword was not slow, and the two staggered, Shura covered the wound under his ribs, and looked back without any change in expression. I saw Lin Mazi standing motionless, and his face was in disbelief at this time.
Then his eyes rolled up uncontrollably, and his throat gurgled to say something, but he couldn't say anything, because by this time his throat had been pierced through a hole.
Seeing that his boss was killed so easily, the rest of the people trembled with fear, where was there any fighting spirit? But Shura didn't intend to let this guy go, and walked straight towards him.
For the first time, the man felt fear, like a drowning man trying to find a straw to save his life, and he waved his hand and suddenly grabbed the boy he had kidnapped earlier.
The man grabbed the boy in front of him, put a knife against the boy's back, and shouted, "Don't come, I'll kill him if you come here." ”
Although the voice was loud, he couldn't help but tremble.
Unmoved, Shura walked straight to the man, even though the tip of the man's knife had pierced the boy's back. The man only felt that he was facing an irresistible god of death, and by the time he reacted, Shura had already walked in front of him.
A sword flashed, and the man's eyes went black, and he fell to the ground and died.
The kidnapped boy was still sitting on the ground, looking sluggish. The bleeding wound on his back didn't bring him back to his senses, maybe he was really scared, right?
However, Shura didn't pay attention to it at all, and after killing the three people, he wiped the blood stains on the long sword, and after retracting the scabbard, he turned around and continued on his way.
Just as Shura was about to leave, the boy came back to his senses and shouted, "Hero!
