After another four or five days, the old man had long since stopped feeding Ye Chen, but only pointed out his shortcomings a little while watching him practice his sword.

One day, when Ye Chen and the old man were practicing swords in the grove, the old man vaguely saw that there were several people dressed in black who were rushing towards the village on the only mountain road leading to the outside in the village.

The well-informed old man doesn't need to think about it to know who they are. He grabbed Ye Chen and took him with him to intercept them.

The people in the village are too simple, if they are not stopped before they enter the village, and if they are allowed to enter the village, it is likely to harm the innocent villagers, which is naturally very unwilling for the old man.

These people obviously came to explore the way, and the old man could see at a glance that they were not masters, so the old man dared to take Ye Chen, he really wanted to borrow these people to see Ye Chen's recent achievements.

When a few people turned a detour, they met where Ye Chen and the old man were standing, and several people immediately became vigilant, pulled out their weapons and slowly approached the two.

"You've been practicing for almost a month now, and now it's time to test the results of your time. ”

The old man smiled and patted Ye Chen's shoulder, and took the initiative to retreat to the side. He crossed his hands on his hips, and he didn't mean to care at all.

Although Ye Chen had some foundation, he was also stunned in the face of the four or five killers on the opposite side at this time, he knew that these people were not like the old man, and they would treat him seriously.

Moreover, he had just come into contact with martial arts, and killing people was still a hurdle for him, so soon the old man wanted him to step over, obviously he was not mentally prepared at the moment, and he began to retreat for a while.

Seeing that Ye Chen had some scruples, the killers let go, they thought that the old man and Ye Chen were just pretending, and strode towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen stepped back step by step, but the old man was not in a hurry, killing people was a hurdle for anyone, he had experienced this when he was young, so naturally he would not blame Ye Chen.

After forcing Ye Chen back for several meters, one of them couldn't bear it anymore, and he slashed at Ye Chen with a knife.

At this moment, Ye Chen's heart was in his throat, and in the face of the person who wanted to kill him, he couldn't help but be a little flustered for a while.

Fortunately, during this time, under the training of the old man, his skills were much more agile, and he saw this man wielding a knife. He took a few quick steps back, leaned back and dodged easily.

The moment he retreated, the rest of the people also rushed up. Two of them slashed at his head at the same time with knives. In a hurry, Ye Chen had to hurriedly swing his sword to resist.

Several people attacked with all their might, ignoring the old man on the side. In their eyes, the old man was just an old man with a sixtieth birthday, and it was impossible to be more powerful than Ye Chen. They wouldn't associate him with the emperor Qingyun who was dominating thirty years ago.

Ye Chen, who was forced by several people, retreated step by step, and could only be forced to resist. In the face of the person who wants him to die, it is impossible for him to completely let go like fighting with the old man. So much so that the moves he learned have not been used until now.

Seeing that Ye Chen was retreating, the old man just watched lightly from the side, completely looking like an outsider.

The two sides have been stuck for more than a dozen moves, even though Ye Chen has been defending and has never attacked a single move, but his speed is too fast, and they still haven't been able to take him down.

"Won't you kid make a move? The old man stroked his beard and shouted at Ye Chen.

"They were attacking so fast that I couldn't let go. Ye Chen replied as he retreated.

The old man shook his head when he heard this, and he still wanted him to make a move. If you rely on Ye Chen, with the way he is now, he may not be able to distinguish the winner from the loser at night.

He flashed to the side of a man, grabbed him by the throat with lightning speed, and with a slight force, the man suddenly lost his resistance and fell to the ground.

Seeing the old man's sudden move, the other person was startled at first, and then gave up attacking Ye Chen, and directly raised his knife and slashed at the old man.

Where would the old man let him make the first move, the moment he raised his knife, he stepped in front of him, slapped him in the chest, and directly knocked him away.

The man fell to the ground and did not move, and lost his life. The other three saw that the old man had solved the two of them so quickly in the fight with Ye Chen. It stopped all at once.

They are all smart people, and when they see the old man so powerful, they are afraid that they will be the next one to fall to the ground. Immediately lost his fighting spirit and hurriedly retreated, trying to escape.

How could the old man give these three a chance to escape, he blocked their retreat with a single dodge. The reason why he made a move was entirely to let Ye Chen reduce the pressure and make a move to defeat the enemy, instead of blindly blocking.

Seeing that the old man had blocked the way to retreat, they were afraid of his strength and did not dare to confront him. In their eyes, the old men on the left and right would not let them go anyway, so it was better to pull Ye Chen's back.

The three of them turned their heads and attacked Ye Chen together, and since there were two less, Ye Chen suddenly felt a lot easier. While blocking, he is also slowly attacking them.

Out of timidity, several people messed up the knife momentum, Ye Chen found the opportunity, quickly shot out one of the knives, and kicked him away.

After there were only two people left, Ye Chen completely let go, and he no longer passively resisted. Instead, he took the initiative to attack, and after a few moves, the two people in front of him were both beaten by him.

He had never wounded them with his sword, and after the two of them had fallen to the ground, the man from before got up again, picked up his sword, and fought him.

One or two more moves, and the man was knocked down again. Seeing this, the other two got up again and wrestled with him.

In this way, after one falls, the other gets up, and after knocking the other down, the one who fell to the ground gets up again. I played back and forth for more than an hour. Ye Chen never dared to use his sword to hurt their lives.

The three of them were already embarrassed, their noses and faces were swollen from being beaten by Ye Chen, and their black clothes were cut into strips by Ye Chen's sword, and they were also stained with mud. Ye Chen was no better, and the wheel battle of several people made him hardly stop. At this point, he was too tired to do it.

In the end, after defeating the three of them, they did not get up again, but fell to the ground and made an appearance of being slaughtered.

Seeing that they didn't rush over again, Ye Chen also stuck his sword on the ground and gasped heavily.

Ye Chen didn't kill the three people, which was completely unexpected by the old man. He wasn't surprised. Taking advantage of Ye Chen's inattention, he flashed behind the three of them, picked them up and threw them towards Ye Chen at a very fast speed.

The three of them roared after being thrown up, Ye Chen thought that they were rushing over again, so he pulled out his sword and stabbed at them one by one in a hurry.

By the time the three of them landed, they were lifeless, and only wisps of blood flowed from their chests.

"Bang Dang ......"

Seeing that he had killed someone, Ye Chen let go and threw away his long sword, and retreated backwards with a frightened expression.

"Isn't it just a few people, if you die, what are you afraid of?" said the old man as he flashed to his side, putting his hands on his shoulders.

"I killed someone, I actually killed someone......" Ye Chen's face was full of horror, and he held the old man's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"You killed them to protect yourself, no one blames you, you don't have to feel guilty. Besides, if you don't kill them, they'll kill you. If you let them go today, it will be the whole village that will suffer in the future, and you have protected the whole village by doing so, and if they knew, they would thank you. ”

"But I still killed someone after all!" Ye Chen shouted, tears rolling in his eyes.

Seeing Ye Chen like this, the old man slapped him fiercely and said angrily: "They are your enemies, don't you want to take revenge? You don't even dare to kill the enemy, what kind of martial arts do you practice? What revenge do you have? This is just a few pathfinders, at most in a day or two, the Shura Palace's brigade will come here, and then you don't dare to kill, how can you protect yourself? Kneel and beg them to let you go?"

"You must know that in the face of the enemy, if you don't kill him, he will kill you. Two people with similar strength fight to the death, and whoever is ruthless wins. If you continue to be so timid and afraid to kill, you will be the first to die once the fight starts. Who will take care of your mother when you die? Who will take your revenge?"

The old man yelled and taught Ye Chen a lesson, this was the first time he had yelled at him like this since he was a child. Ye Chen was stunned by his slap, and stood dumbfounded, not daring to say a word.

Seeing that Ye Chen was a little better, the old man patted him on the shoulder again, and said earnestly: "There will be many people in the Shura Hall this time, including some masters, Lin Zhentian, the master of the Shura Hall, knows that I am here, and he will also come." If you don't dare to kill, how can you take revenge? How can you escape?"

"I ...... I know. Ye Chen lowered his head when he heard this.

"That's right. The old man smiled with relief when he heard this.

"This murder is a hurdle to set foot in the rivers and lakes, the bloody rain and bloody wind in the rivers and lakes, and the company of death at all times. If you don't even dare to kill people, how can you stand on the rivers and lakes? Fame is created by fighting, and a dozen will inevitably lead to death and injury. Unless you are a top master as soon as you set foot in the rivers and lakes, so that others will not dare to do anything with you, but do you look like you like a master?"

"Also, you have a deep hatred of blood, it can be said that the entire rivers and lakes are your enemies, if you are not ruthless. How can you fight them, how can you deter them?"
