Chapter 1: A Small Town Boy

In the eastern part of the Dragon Bird Empire, there is a small town called 'Qingshan', with a permanent population of less than 50,000, desolate, dilapidated, and barren land. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are countless ordinary small towns like this in the Spirit Sword Continent, and if it weren't for the fact that they were next to the continent's number one beast mountain range, the Dragon Bird Mountain Range, they would not be known to the outside world at all.

Ten years ago, a strange firelight fell from the sky and fell into the endless Dragon Sparrow Mountain Range. Suddenly, the mountains and rivers shook, thousands of trees were Xiaoxiao, and the mountain demons and barbarian beasts roared and screamed, almost wanting to tear the heavens and the earth apart.

The fire in the sky is burning, reflecting the red mountains, and all the beasts are galloping, like waves......

No one knows where the fire came from, no one knows what the fire is, and no one knows where it falls or when it disappears.

But everyone knew that since that day, the Longque Mountain Range, which had always been inaccessible, had been haunted by cultivators, and even the nearby Qingshan Town had become lively.

As the saying goes, there are a lot of brute beast hunters in Qingshan Town, and most of the people in the town are also engaged in work related to 'brute beasts', such as skinning and removing bones, fur and clothing, and so on.

The brute beast is a powerful creature that is no less than a human cultivator, not only has a super strong physique, but can also manipulate the heaven and earth vitality, and even the legendary top brute beast can transform into a human form and walk in the world.

Of course, the people of Qingshan Town are all ordinary people who don't know how to cultivate, and the brute beasts that can be hunted are only some of the weakest ordinary brute beasts.

However, even the lowest-level ordinary brute beasts, whose fur was made into exquisite clothes and blankets, were very popular with the nobles, and were the biggest source of income for the people of Qingshan Town.

As for the legendary brute beast crystal nucleus, although each one is priceless, it has nothing to do with the people of Qingshan Town, because the brute beasts with crystal nuclei can already manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth, and non-ordinary hunters can hunt them.

Peeling Ridge is a high ground in Qingshan Town, and it is shrouded in the smell of blood that permeates the air all day. At this moment, there is a steady stream of cheers.

"Look, Young Master Tang is going to make a move again!"

"No, Young Master Tang's bone-splitting skills should be the first in Qingshan Town!"

"Young Master Tang's movements are really neat, well, really chic!"

The high ground was an open-air slaughterhouse, where dozens of sturdy men gathered, all shirtless, with bulging muscles, who looked so strong and powerful, and the butcher knives in their hands were a symbol of their status.

They were watching a young man, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a blue cotton robe, with a delicate and immature appearance, holding an iron sword, standing in front of a pile of small 'Roshan', which seemed out of place with his surroundings.

That pile of 'Roshan' was not a real Roshan, but the huge body of a brute beast.

The brute beast's fur has been stripped away, and its hideous head and horns still show its identity - a third-level brute beast, a fire cloud leopard!

In the Spirit Sword Continent, there are nine levels of brute beasts, among which the first- and second-level brute beasts are only larger and more ferocious than ordinary domestic animals and poultry, and they are not taken into account by the brute beast hunters in Qingshan Town.

And the brute beasts of level 3 and above are already able to manipulate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and extraordinary hunters can deal with it, even if dozens of strong men are besieged together, they need to pay a terrible price.

It was clear that this fiery cloud leopard was not hunted by them, but the corpse of a brute beast that had been taken from the depths of the mountains at risk.

In the past ten years, there have been cultivators in the Dragon Bird Mountain Range from time to time, and they naturally have no interest in ordinary low-level brute beasts, but occasionally they encounter some blind guys, and they will also kill them.

Therefore, the brute beast hunters of Qingshan Town, after entering the Mountain Dragon Bird Mountain Range, in addition to hunting the low-level brute beasts on the periphery, the greater gain was to take the risk of picking up the corpses of the high-level brute beasts abandoned by the cultivators.

The fire cloud leopard's fur is soft and smooth, and it is beautifully patterned, which was loved by the nobles of the empire. In addition, its flesh and blood also contain a lot of vitality essence, which is the best ingredient for cooking delicious dishes.

It's just that the trouble is that the flesh and blood of the fire cloud leopard are tenacious, and the extraordinary sword can be divided, and how to divide the flesh and bones has become the highlight at the moment.

Generally speaking, only those experienced masters can do this job, but in the current situation, it is up to the immature young man to carry out the knife himself.

This situation makes people feel a little weird and at the same time, they are also looking forward to the performance of the young man.

Swish!

The boy drew his sword and unsheathed it, without the slightest stagnation in between.

The sword light quickly sliced through the air, and then cut into the body of the fire cloud leopard. The cold light flickered, and the body of the brute beast, which was known for its toughness, could not stop the speed of the iron sword cutting in the slightest.

Swish!

The young man's backhand, another sword!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish......

In the blink of an eye, the boy had already slashed out thirteen swords, and every time he swung his sword, he would cut in at an extremely strange angle, and the position he was standing on would constantly change.

The so-called practice makes perfect, and the so-called self-taught.

The boy who has been in the peeling ridge since he was a child has already practiced the ability to peel the skin and remove the bones. No matter what kind of brute beast it is, as long as it passes through his hand, it can achieve perfect dismemberment. Moreover, the entire dismemberment process will never exceed thirteen swords.

After the thirteen swords were slashed, the young man pulled back.

The fire cloud leopard in front of him was automatically separated, and a complete skeleton was presented in front of everyone, and the surrounding area once again erupted in earth-shattering applause.

The teenager has long been accustomed to this situation. Obviously, this isn't the first time he's done something like this. It's just that no one noticed that after he slashed out the thirteen swords, the arm holding the sword trembled faintly.

If it was in the past, let alone performing the thirteen bone-splitting postures once, even if he used it ten times or eight times in a row, it would not make him feel a trace of tiredness.

But today is different, firstly, because the skin and flesh of the Fire Cloud Leopard are indeed tough, and secondly, because in the process of dividing the flesh and bones, he is still quietly absorbing the residual blood and qi in the Fire Cloud Leopard's body.

Blood Qi is also a kind of Yuan Qi, but it comes from the flesh and blood of brute beasts. Since ancient times, practicing with the blood and qi of living beings has been despised by decent cultivators. But for some reason, he had to do it.

After the young man put the sword into the sheath, he first took a soaked white towel from the servant's hand and wiped his hands slowly, and then said slowly: "Send two-thirds of the meat to the kitchen of the restaurant, and the rest to the home." ”

"Yes, young master. ”

......

Today's Qingshan Town, people come and go is particularly lively.

The young man who walked down from Peeling Ridge frowned slightly, feeling that there were too many strangers in Qingshan Town in the past two days, and most of them were young cultivators.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, could it be that what sect is going to go to the Dragon Bird Mountain Range for trial?" The young man walked through the crowd with his hands behind his back, seemingly chic but it was difficult to hide his loneliness in his heart.

Once upon a time, he also imagined that those disciples of the sect were entrusted with important tasks by the master and entered the Longque Mountain Range to practice, but unfortunately, with his qualifications, he could not enter the eyes of others at all.

His name is Tang Lin, he is the owner of this Qingshan Town, and the only bloodline of the Tang family, his father has been missing for many years, and he lives with his mother.

Because his mother, Lin Wanyue, was also a cultivator, and she was also a powerful Xuan-rank 'Sword Master', no one dared to bully them easily.

In the Spirit Sword Continent, there are no weak magicians, nor are there brute force predators, only sword masters who cultivate vitality and raise swords.

The master of the sword, the master of the sword, and it is not easy to become a sword master, not only to awaken the innate 'sword body' qualification, but also to have strong perseverance and good luck.

In the beginning, the different 'sword body' qualifications were only used by cultivators to distinguish between the direction of cultivation and the attributes of the spirit sword. Later generations believed that 'rare things are precious', and the smaller the chance of appearing, the greater the potential of the 'sword body'. Over time, the different 'sword bodies' were divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Among them, Wuji, Liangyi, and Sancai are the top sword bodies, Sixiang, Wuling, and Liuchen are the advanced sword bodies, and Qixing, Bagua, and Jiugong are the primary sword bodies.

In addition, there are some extremely rare mutated sword bodies.

However, because there were too many uncertainties in the cultivation of the mutated sword body, no one dared to draw conclusions about the merits of a cultivator's qualifications until he had truly grown up.

If we exclude the factors of bloodline genetics, there are about 30,000 ordinary people, and it is possible that there will be a person with the qualification of 'sword body'.

It can be seen that if you want to become a sword master, the difficulty can be imagined.

Tang Lin's family was once very powerful, and it had left many glorious stories in the Dragon Bird Empire and even the entire Spirit Sword Continent, and some legends were still sung today.

It's a pity that the years are ruthless, the court has changed, and the Tang family, which has been glorious for thousands of years, is now the only one left in the direct bloodline.
