Chapter 3: The Strange Man in the Mountains
Hong Wu leaned down, dodged from under the body of the fanged tiger, and stretched out his sword to pick it up. Ninety-seven styles of picking flowers on the top.
"Whenโ" The tip of the sword touched the belly of the Toothed Tiger, but instead of piercing it, it was bounced back, and Hong Wu understood the horror of the Toothed Tiger. "No wonder the mercenary group is afraid of these magical beasts, in a few moments, they will really die here!" he thought to himself, his face solemn.
"Roar!" it ran towards Hongwu again, its paws clawing at his crotch. "What a difficult monster! It's so shameless!" He remembered that he had scolded it just now for not having the same IQ as a human......
Hongwu hurriedly retreated, one claw missed, and another claw, as if to tease Hongwu. "Hmph, isn't it fun, let you see what's really fun!" He was anxious, and suddenly pulled the Mo Evil Sword out of the scabbard. "Roar!" the fanged tiger suddenly went crazy, desperately trying to get the sword.
"What is there to grab! This is my thing!" the murderous intent flashed in his heart. The fanged tiger opened its mouth wide and bit at Mo Xie. "Die!" he saw the moment, and stabbed a sword into its mouth. Only then did the Fierce Tooth Tiger realize that something was wrong, it was too late to leave, and the Mo Evil Sword cut open his upper jaw, along with the brain, and the hardest skin, and cut it in half.
Hong Wu struck a successful blow, hurriedly withdrew his sword, looked around, and no demonic beast appeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, crouched down, and took out the crystal nucleus of the Toothed Tiger. "It turns out that he is still a fanged tiger that has not fully grown into a second-order, otherwise I really can't beat him!" He looked at the crystal nucleus, the outer part of the crystal nucleus was still white, and the inside was almost mostly blue.
"It's okay, a second-order crystal nucleus can be sold for a gold coin! at least I killed a second-order demonic beast and went back to surprise my father and eldest brother. He thought of Hong Xu's appreciative eyes, and he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
"Let's kill a few more, today's praise has been over!" he stood up happily, intending to hunt the monster again.
"Haha! Yes, yes, at a young age, you can actually kill a second-order demonic beast, although you used a little trickery, but in my time, you were also qualified! But you want to use your current strength to kill a second-order demonic beast is still a little overwhelmed!" Suddenly, a voice came from the mountains and forests.
"Who?" Hong Wu touched the hilt of the sword, and the Mo Evil Sword was about to be unsheathed, if the other party was a demonic beast, he would not be nervous at all, but people are often the most terrifying, and what they should be on guard against at any time is precisely the sinister nature of the human heart.
After a while, he saw that there was no movement around him, and was about to speak, when a white-robed young man suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was so frightened that he pulled out the Mo Evil Sword. "Who is it?" He took a dozen steps back and retreated to the Drunken Wind Pavilion, staring at the white-robed young man in front of him, and the Mo Evil Sword let out a sword groan.
"Hey, what a sword, such a long distance, the murderous aura is so strong, boy, your parents must be the head of some big family, right?" the young man asked freely, as if he didn't take the so-called big family in his eyes at all. "Hmph! My dad is the head of the Hong family who once had a glorious Illusory Realm!" Hong Wu actually wanted to say no, but he couldn't help the other party's tone and shouted loudly.
"I haven't heard of the head of the Hong family. Maybe it's been so many years since I came out, and it's still understandable that I don't understand things outside......" The young man touched his chin that was completely beardless, pretending to be like everyone.
Only then did Hong Wu notice this unknown person, he looked like he was in his twenties, but that face seemed to have lived for a long, long time, so long that Hong Wu couldn't see him clearly. He was like going through everything, vicissitudes, vitality, sadness, joy, everything could be felt in him, and his eyes seemed to tell endless things.
Hong Wu was stunned, he usually had this feeling except for contacting his father, and he had long been unwilling to pay attention to ordinary villains in the market, and only had contact with polite merchants when the mercenary guild was selling crystal nuclei.
The young man smiled, "Little brother, can you lend me this sword?" He gracefully stretched out his hand and stared at Hong Wu. He heard the young man's question, and involuntarily came to him, personally handed out the Mo Evil Sword, and put it in his hand. "Hum-" Suddenly, the sword body groaned softly, crisp and powerful.
"Good sword! It turned out to be Mo Xie!" the young man waved his hand a few times, and the wind and sand rose around him. "If there are generals, then this mountain will be destroyed. He exclaimed a few words, flicked the blade of the sword, and the buzzing sound was endless. Hong Wu woke up, hurriedly snatched the Mo Evil Sword, and looked at the sword body lovingly, causing the other party to cry and laugh.
"Boy, if your family can give you Mo Ye, then your swordsmanship attainments must be very high. But looking at the few moments you just now, you are not a very powerful master, how can you have such a famous sword for you to keep? Aren't you afraid of being stolen?" the young man interrogated. When Hong Wu heard this, he immediately became vigilant and looked at him.
"Who said that my swordsmanship is low, even if I am low, it will be enough to deal with you thieves! Don't think that I don't know your idea of attacking my Mo Ye!" he frowned.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. "Boy, it's interesting to see you, okay, I don't want your sword, I don't want your money, you just need to knock me down within five strokes, I'll let you go, and give you 300 third-order crystal nuclei, but if you lose, you have to worship me as a teacher!" the young man said arrogantly.
Hong Wu glared at him fiercely, "You don't want me to apprentice!" he replied with the same haughtyness. The young man was stunned, this kid blocked all his steps, and couldn't help but play tricks. "Hehe, I don't think I agreed to how many people wanted to be mentors and apprentices with me. Now that this spot is in your hands, are you sure you don't want it?" he asked.
Hong Wu bit his lip, the young man thought he was thinking about it, put his hands behind his back, and waited quietly.
After three minutes, Hong Wu jumped up from the ground, "If I hit you five times, you would really give me three hundred third-order crystal nuclei?" he asked rhetorically. The young man was really so angry that he vomited blood, and smiled helplessly, "Five hundred! Five hundred fourth-order crystal nuclei!" he shook his five fingers.
"Come on!" he drew his Mo Evil Sword and pointed it at the other party.
"It seems that this child should be a lonely kendo family, heh, at the beginning, kendo was still the avenue of the illusory world, and now people must be advocating physical arts. The young man thought in his heart and responded to Hong Wu with a smile. "I'll give you two hands. He crossed his hands together, "Let you have two more feet!" The young man stood with his feet apart, standing straight.
When Hong Wu saw him like this, he couldn't be angry. "Arrogant! Eat me with a sword!"
Two arrogant men exchanged hands.
