Chapter 1: That Night, That Man, That Knife

Next Chapter

Sometimes, a sentence can make people feel empowered.

Sometimes, a knife can encompass the whole world.

"Ji'er, the time for my father has come, and there are some things I should tell you."

"Actually, I'm not your father, you were picked up by me from the river."

"You heard you right, I lied to you for eighteen years."

"Your father and I were originally a small flag officer of the Demon Town, and when I received a mission from the Demon Town, because I was afraid of death, I took the opportunity to slip away from the mission, fled to this small village, and then picked up Ling by a river."

"Your father and I have never been sorry for anyone in my life."

"If you want to enter the office, you can go to the Imperial Capital Shangshu Mansion to find a woman named Nalanyi."

"Don't you want to eat fart, that's Lao Tzu's fiancée, I guess I'm married, when you see her, say sorry to her on my behalf."

"She has a bad temper, if she wants to beat you, you have to bear it."

"If you just want to live an ordinary life, there are a thousand taels of silver in the cellar of the ancestral hall, which I have saved over the years, save a little, and spend enough in this life."

"If you fall into the rivers and lakes, you are a thin person, you don't have to avenge me, you have to go by yourself in the future."

……

Ji Chen leaned against the wall, holding the knife in one hand, and recalled the last words of the cheap father before he died.

He grew up in Jijia Village, just outside Fenglin Town.

In this bitter cold land in the northwest, if you talk about poverty, if Fenglin Town is second, then there is no place to dare to count first.

For the young people of Fenglin Town, those who have a little ambition have gone out to beg for a living, and they are rarely willing to stay in the bitter cold land to eat.

Ji Chen is an alternative, and his cheap dad is even more.

As for why it appeared in this place, it has to start with the dark and windy night of that month.

That night, as soon as his eyes were closed, as soon as he opened them, his life passed.

This family is quite wealthy, and the cheap father plans to let him learn from literature.

He is also quite competitive, first passed the township examination, the government examination, became a child, and then passed the scientific examination, the annual examination, and became a talent.

Why do you want to take the Xiucai test, Emperor Xia founded the country and began to rewrite the text, and Xiucai has many exemptions.

As a member of the wave, he did not have lofty ideals, nor did he have the ambition to make great achievements with the will of his crippled body. I don't want to mess with the rivers and lakes, and I don't want to participate in court disputes.

He just wants to be a showman, and then lie flat for the rest of his life. put a few pieces of land property, accept two concubines, hug left and right, and have lewd pleasures......

Oh no, enjoy it for a lifetime.

There was no accident, but there was an accident.

The Wasteland Snow Clan, which had been silent for ten years, invaded the border wilderness, and the entire Jijia Village was slaughtered.

Ji Chen escaped under the desperate protection of his cheap father.

The Snow Clan, a combination of humans and snow demons, are abandoned in the wasteland struggling to survive, occasionally feeding on humans. But most did not dare to invade humans.

After all, he was suppressed once by General Xu ten years ago and almost wiped out.

After the Snow Clan retreated, some mountain bandits living in the border wilderness took the opportunity to loot the village, and some villagers who were lucky enough to survive were also killed by the mountain bandits.

At this moment, a fire is being lit in the ancestral hall to cook, and it seems that this group of mountain bandits is planning to spend the night here.

Even they don't dare to walk at night, who knows if they will encounter monsters, or the remnants of the Snow Clan.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the cold wind is cold, and you can't see your fingers.

This kind of weather is best for killing.

Come to this world, since you can't lie flat for a lifetime, then pick up the knife and kill a pure place that can let me lie flat, since I don't let me be mediocre, then I will sing all the way, life should be wonderful, death is also a place of death, if I look back in the future, there must be a pure place in the world.

Ji Chen clenched the single knife, his gaze stayed on the retina, staring at the attribute information on it.

Lifespan: 75

Strength: Vulnerable

Knife Technique: Draped Knife Method - Beginner

Killing: 8

Prestige: 10

The basic attributes that are so simple that they can't be simpler are the capital of his life, and they are also the reliance on which he dares to kill back.

For each person he kills, he can get some kill points, which can be used to improve his skills.

To put it simply, killing people and slaying demons→ blasting and killing points→ improving the skills → becoming stronger

It's that rough, it's that simple.

As a traverser, how can you not hang, you can not do without, but you can't do without.

There is no hanging, and there is no hanging in the hand is two different things.

Otherwise, how do you think his show was admitted, with his previous life by thirty-three taels of silver blessed with a lifetime of ninety-nine-six.

Ho...... Spit......!

Ji Chen tightened his somewhat stiff hand, clenched the single knife, and even though he was shivering from the cold, he never flinched.

Cheap dad is right, if he falls into the rivers and lakes, he is a thin man!

Ji Chen agreed with this, but he felt that he should change one word.

If you fall into the rivers and lakes, you are fighting for your life.

The weather is cold, and the border wilderness at night is even colder, if you don't destroy these bandits, it is very likely that he will freeze to death outside.

The knife is not properly matched, and it is already a river and lake when you go out.

Fate will not give a chance to prepare, so Ji Chen has no choice but to fight for his life.

The rough laughter and conversations of the ancestral hall clearly reached his ears, in stark contrast to his silence in the cold wind.

He didn't dare make a sound.

The most terrifying bandit leaders have been killed by his cheap daddy.

But even the few remaining bandits were not something he could deal with.

He learned this method of wearing a knife in his hand in order to cope with the scientific examination and the old style.

The six arts of the gentleman, the scientific test and the year-old style are to test riding and shooting.

Instead of the difficult sword, he chose the knife.

Simple, brutal, easy to learn.

So his current combat strength is about the same as that of an ordinary bandit, at most his physical fitness is stronger than them, after all, the bandit is precarious, he can at least be fed and clothed since he was a child, and even drink tiger bone soup every once in a while.

Suddenly, Ji Chen heard footsteps, coming outside.

He held his breath, his hands clutched to the blade, his back against the wall, trying to control his heart beating wildly from nervousness.

Even though he had killed several bandits, he was still nervous and even afraid.

Soon, a mountain bandit dressed in fur walked out of the ancestral hall one foot deep and one foot shallow.

You can see that he has drunk a lot.

The border is barren, and in addition to the cold in winter, the only way to keep out the cold is inferior spirits, which can not only paralyze the nerves, get rid of the anger after killing, but also keep warm from the cold.

In the dark night, he couldn't see his five fingers, and the slightly drunk bandit didn't notice Ji Chen hiding in the corner.

He came to the outside of the ancestral hall, walked into the darkness, lifted the fur and began to release water.

Ji Chen slowly came behind him, raised a single knife, and when he was trembling at the end, he slashed directly at his neck.

"Poof!"

A flash of light flashed in the night, and the slight friction of sharp weapons was muffled by the howling cold wind.

【Kill Point +2】

A line of prompts flashed from Ji Chen's retina, like a barrage.

Ji Chen didn't pay attention to it, he was used to it.

A head fell from the bandit's neck and was grabbed by Ji Chen. Then he hooked the body of the bandit with his foot and slowly lowered it to the ground.

Five headless corpses had been piled up on the ground.

The bloody aura was pervasive, and it was quickly dispersed by the cold wind, merging with the original bloody breath.

After doing all this, Ji Chen glanced at the attributes, the killing points had accumulated to ten, and the draping knife technique showed that it could be improved.

He didn't start to ascend immediately, but left the ancestral hall, found an abandoned room, and gently closed the door, and then began to improve the draped sword technique.

With the consumption of ten killing points, Ji Chen felt a warm current flowing in his body,

Although the draping knife method is a basic knife method, it also has the effect of refining the body.

In an instant, Ji Chen seemed to have fallen into some kind of wonderful realm, and the various moves and changes related to the draping sword technique kept evolving in his mind, and the subtle changes of various moves were broken down one by one.

After a long time, the evolution was coming to an end, and all kinds of complicated moves were simplified and became the basic sword techniques of the five styles.

Ji Chen felt that his blood qi seemed to have grown a little, dispelling a lot of cold, it seemed that this sword technique did have the effect of forging the body, although the effect was not very strong.

Glancing at the attributes

Lifespan: 75

Strength: Vulnerable

Knife Technique: Draped Knife Technique - Mastery

Kills: 0

Prestige: 10

At this moment, Ji Chen finally had some confidence.
