......

Three days later, outside the East City Gate.

Zhang Yuan had already changed into a black power suit at this time, carrying a black long sword behind his back, with a sharp edge between his eyebrows, and his steps were brisk, heading towards the south.

Beside him, Ye Shisan was still dressed in white, his face had faded a little immature, and he looked a little more cold as a swordsman.

The goal of the two of them on this trip is the Black Wind Mountain, which is three hundred miles away from here, and with the footsteps of the warriors, it should be reached just before sunset.

Behind him, everyone in the Tiger Roar Martial Arts Hall stood at the gate of the city to see each other off, which was due to the fact that Zhang Yuan and the others did not make a big show when they traveled, otherwise seven or eight out of ten people in the entire city would come to see each other.

The current Zhang Yuan is a big hero who saved the whole city.

There are a lot of people around the Ping'an pawnshop in the south of the city who saw Zhang Yuan's shot, and the drunkard before was actually a big mouth, once he was drunk, he couldn't hide anything. So, within three days, the entire city of 100,000 people, eight or nine out of ten, heard the legend that Zhang Yuan waved his hand to destroy the demon disaster.

In this process, several versions have evolved, some people say that Zhang Yuan is a master hidden in the red world, who can shoot thunder, destroy the world with one blow, and cross the sky; some people believe that Zhang Yuan is actually a rejuvenated old-timer, with deep true qi, and can shoot a palm print as big as a city; among them, some people say that Zhang Yuan only used the secret method and temporarily promoted to the realm of the grandmaster, although he killed all the monsters in the city, he himself was affected by the side effects of the secret method, and his cultivation was completely lost.

In the past three days, Zhang Yuan temporarily lived in the Tiger Roar Martial Arts Hall, and in addition to eating and sleeping, he only did one thing, and that was to study the Dao-level exercises that had been forcibly stuffed into his mind.

In just three days, he naturally couldn't get a glimpse of the mystery, and Zhang Yuan only had a general understanding of it.

"Purgatory Demon Sutra" is systematically rated as a Dao level, it is not only a martial arts cultivation technique, but also a mysterious realm secret art, cultivation is a masterpiece, can turn oneself around the purgatory demon world, change the heavens and the earth, like a god.

However, such a powerful exercise has one of the most fatal shortcomings, and that is...... It costs a full million gold coins, or ten skill points, to directly complete the first layer.

And that's just the first layer, the second layer is bound to be more. And the task given to Zhang Yuanbu by that Purgatory Demon Venerable was to complete the first three layers within ten years. If Zhang Yuan fails to complete his requirements, he may really want to go to that reincarnation and experience the pain of purgatory.

So next, Zhang Yuan's demand for gold coins reached an unprecedented level, and after only three days, he couldn't stay, and he picked up Ye Shisan and embarked on the road of slaying demons and demons.

......

"This is the northern wilderness of the human race, with strange mountains and valleys, but there is no danger of ten deaths and no life. Due to the sparse population and the concentration of aura is not as good as that of other domains, there are almost no martial arts sects, and even cities are rare. In addition, in the Northern Wastelands......"

On the way, Ye Shisan spread out a map in his hand and explained some of the situation in the Northern Wilderness to Zhang Yuan.

These are not things that ordinary people in a nameless city in a remote place can hear, so Zhang Yuan is also the first time to hear about it.

"Our target this time is here, Black Wind Mountain. Ye Shisan pointed to a certain place on the map and continued, "The entire radius of a hundred miles is the range of the Black Wind Mountain, it is said that this was a city in the past, but later due to the battle of the strong, the terrain was changed, and the entire city moved north for three hundred miles. ”

Listening to Ye Shisan's words, Zhang Yuan didn't say much, just listened quietly.

"According to records, many people have been buried in Black Wind Mountain, most of them are ordinary people, at least 300,000, all of whom have been affected by the aftermath of the battle of the strong. ”

"There are two main enemies we face this time, one is a kind of resentful ghost, and the other is the old demon of the Black Wind who once ran rampant. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Shisan's face showed a rare solemn expression.

"The resentment is not dispersed, the resentment is not extinguished, there are not many resentful souls in the entire Black Wind Mountain, it is very troublesome to be entangled by it, and it must be avoided as much as possible. ”

"As for the Black Wind Old Devil, he is not a simple person, and my teacher's advice to me is that he is not born and cannot be challenged. ”

After a pause, Ye Shisan put away the map in his hand, turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan, and asked, "Brother Zhang, the Black Wind Old Demon is an innate peak realm, and my cultivation is insufficient, so I can only interfere with it slightly when the time comes, and I have to rely on you to fight head-on." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, and said confidently, "Leave it to me!"

"But ......" Zhang Yuan patted the black long sword on his back, and also paused, looking at Ye Shisan, "That black wind old demon must have many means, I will only have a set of tiger roaring palms, and the moves will be straight and straight, and it will be easy to be targeted by it when the time comes." ”

"It's better for you to teach me a few sets of swordsmanship, not too much, one attack and one defense are enough. Zhang Yuan looked at Ye 13 with a look of hope.

Hearing this, Ye Shisan shook his head firmly, with the arrogance of a swordsman on his cold little face, and directly rejected Zhang Yuan's proposal, "Sword training is not a short time that can be achieved quickly, it must take ten years, and it is useless for you to learn it now." In addition, the elders of the clan have explained, the Ye family's swordsmanship cannot be passed on, and I can't teach you swordsmanship!"

"Okay! Okay, I won't learn swordsmanship for the time being!"

Zhang Yuan sighed and shook his head, stroking the cold sword body, feeling that the road ahead was long, and he was still far from the dream of leveling the world with the sword in his mind.

said that he walked the rivers and lakes with a sword, and he didn't know how to fight the rivers and lakes with a sword, Zhang Yuan was a little distressed.

"I knew this earlier, before in the Tiger Roar Martial Arts Pavilion, I should have taught the Lin Pavilion a basic kendo foundation, at least I could learn how to use a sword. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up, he looked at Ye Shisan again, and said, "Brother Ye, do you have basic skills about swordsmanship, eh...... Is it a cheat book that explains the basics of swordsmanship?"

Zhang Yuan still has three skill points, although the skills used to improve the foundation of kendo are a bit wasteful, but now Zhang Yuan is so poor that he only has these few skill points, so if it is wasted, it will be wasted!

After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Ye Shisan thought about it seriously and nodded slightly.

His right hand reached into his bosom and pulled out an object, which looked crumpled and appeared to be a book.

"This is some of the swordsmanship foundations that my ancestors of the Ye family have summarized, and the nine-style basic swordsmanship is recorded on it, which is just right. Take it and see it first!"

Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to take it and immediately looked at it. Page after page, extremely fast, just turning the head, Zhang Yuan turned to the end.

Then, a system prompt sounded in my head.

"Ding, the host obtains the non-level skill "Basic Swordsmanship", which can be upgraded to the perfection realm for a thousand gold coins or a skill point. ”

Listening to the system prompt in his mind, Zhang Yuan was sure in his heart, it seems that basic swordsmanship can also be counted as a skill, which can be directly improved.

Zhang Yuan showed a smile on his face, handed the book back to Ye Shisan, and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye! ”

Then, in his mind, he shouted, "System, give me the basic sword technique to perfection!"

"Ding, consuming a skill point, the non-level martial skill 'Basic Sword Technique' has been successfully upgraded to the realm of perfection. ”

Hearing the system prompt in his head, Zhang Yuan nodded slightly.

From now on, I, Zhang Yuan, am also a master of swordsmanship!

Feeling the many essence of kendo that came into his mind, Zhang Yuan felt extremely satisfied.

This one skill point is not in vain.

The skills of "Kendo Basics" have a total of nine swordsmanship, attack, defense, rigidity, elasticity, toughness, smoothness, reverse, horizontal, and vertical. This is summarized and perfected by the generations of the Ye family, a kendo family, and is the foundation of all swordsmanship. For each of these styles, there is only the method of using the sword, and there is no fixed move.

The only pity is that this is just a foundation, which can only enable Zhang Yuan to skillfully control the sword in his hand, and cannot significantly improve his combat power.
