After ten months of training in the Carved Wood Academy, a new batch of apprentices poured into the Fire Refining Academy, and almost on the same day as the apprenticeship, the "ban on killing" was broken, setting off a new round of apprentice killing.

In order to distinguish between the two groups of apprentices, the people of Dongbao called them Jiachen Apprentice and Otomi Apprentice respectively according to the year they entered the Fire Refining Academy.

After last year's brutal killing and several subsequent monthly tests, there are still more than 130 people left, and this class of apprentices is recognized as the strongest for many years, but so far no teenager has officially obtained the title of killer.

In an environment where there are many masters, if you want to kill the enemy six times in a row, it is more powerful than ascending to the sky, but in the years when the apprentices are weaker, it is easy to appear in advance of the official killers, these killers have passed the test in the castle, but in the bloody rain and bloody wind outside the castle, like malnourished plants, they cannot be destroyed.

The reputation of the apprentices of Koshin aroused the desire of the apprentices to compare, and some of them thought highly of themselves, and they didn't think much of killers when they were in the Carved Wood Academy, let alone those who had only entered the castle ten months before them.

From the very beginning, this carnage was filled with an atmosphere of competition between the old and the new, and the color of gang vendetta was not strong.

Even so, the carnage was amplified step by step through a few small things.

The apprentice still remembered the ban on killing, and behaved more cautiously, and the apprentice of Yimi provoked two or three times, but only caused bloodshed, and no one died, until a few old apprentices who were not angry got a hint from the master: the ban was never publicly canceled, and the unwritten rule was that as long as the new apprentice joined, the killing was not restricted.

Many conspiracies were still brewing among the apprentices, and one accident was preempted.

On the fifth day of entering the Fire Refining Academy, an apprentice of Otoji took a monthly test and killed his opponent with a single sword, and he continued the tradition of his predecessors by resisting the corpse to the cliff of life, where he was killed by an arrow.

In order to hunt the red-topped roc, Jinpeng Fort built a number of arrow towers several feet high on the edge of the cliff and sent people to guard them.

On that day, there were twelve Jiachen apprentices in the arrow tower on the edge of the cliff, and they saw the young man who threw the corpse on the tower, and he was very bored, one apprentice turned the huge crossbow bed, and the others installed long arrows together, aiming at the unlucky ones who didn't know it.

No one really wanted to shoot the apprentice, the original intention was to scare and scare the arrogant junior brother, the young man on the tower shouted and demonstrated, and the young man on the edge of the cliff waved his knife to show disdain, so an apprentice of Jiachen let go of the crossbow machine.

The iron arrow flew out with a long string, even if it was deliberately aimed, it would not be so accurate, the iron arrow passed through the chest of the young man on the cliff side, and continued to fly, hitting the cliff wall repeatedly with the corpse, and by the time the apprentices on the tower pulled the rope to withdraw the iron arrow, the corpse was less than half left.

In this kind of thing, Jiachen's apprentice is more experienced after all, first someone remembered the master's hint that as soon as the newcomer arrives, the ban will automatically end, and then everyone unanimously decided that it is better to strike first than to sit still.

That night, while the crowd was still discussing how to take revenge, the apprentices had already divided into several groups and launched a large-scale assassination campaign, and in one night, sixty-eight people were killed.

The killer masters, who had been prepared for a long time, evacuated Dongbao early the next morning, and they only had time to explain to the newly recruited disciples, "If you survive, you will be the victor." ”

Tie Hanfeng didn't accept any more apprentices, he was quite satisfied with Huan Nu's performance in the recent period, so he wished there was such an excuse to go down the mountain to drink and sleep with women, and arrange his own small business.

Gu Shenwei naturally would not let go of the opportunity to practice swordsmanship, he partnered with the lotus girl, killed six people in one night, and as before, carefully examined the wound after the killing, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each other's moves, and then threw the body off the cliff.

The massacre lasted many days, and the two teenagers killed many more people than last year, and the swordsmanship and knife technique advanced by leaps and bounds at the same time, and it was through this murderous experience that they came to the conclusion that there is no so-called twenty-nine sword style, since it is a one-hit kill, there is only one move.

The twenty-nine moves in the nameless sword spectrum are purely different descriptions of the same move, and when they realized this, the swordsmanship of the two of them advanced another level, but they also knew very well that they had embarked on a road of martial arts with no retreat, as long as they were a little careless, or they met a real master, they could not kill the enemy with one sword, and the result was to be slaughtered by others.

Gu Shenwei's sword training process with the lotus girl was sabotaged by a teenager named "Zinu".

Zinu is also an apprentice recommended by the Eight Young Masters, Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl have a little impression of him, people are very smart, and they are bold, they have been practicing martial arts as early as in the Eight Young Masters' courtyard, earlier than the two of them, but they are not in the eyes of Xue Niang, and the three of them have little interaction.

In order to save their lives in the slaughter, especially after the best of Otomi's apprentices were killed and wounded, the boundary between the old and new apprentices did not exist, and a large number of new apprentices took refuge in the old apprentices, hoping to obtain refuge.

Almost as soon as the purple slave was admitted to the hospital, he came to Huan Nu and Henu, asking to join the gang, and after being refused, they were entangled, and the two had seriously considered whether to kill him, and finally decided to let him go, so as not to cause trouble in the master Shangguan Fu, unexpectedly it was this young man who brought them big trouble.

Unconsciously, Zi Nu became the follower and little minion of the two, on call, even if he didn't call, he knew very well in his heart that only by following these two famous murderers in Dongbao could he avoid countless assassinations.

Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl never left a corpse at the scene because they killed too many people, and their reputation gradually surpassed that of others, even the two of Mustang and Liuhua could not be compared, and many members of the forearm slave gang were surprised by the changes in the two, and the two had to restrain themselves and reduce the frequency of killing.

"Male and female swordsman" is the most common of their many nicknames.

Since they made a blood oath with their master, every ten days, Jiachen's apprentices have to ask their master for peace, and the slaughter period is no exception, but they are not allowed to leave the East Fort with a knife.

Sometimes when the owner is not there, they just kowtow in the courtyard and leave only after they have done their duty.

The eighth young lord Shangguan Nu often goes out of the fort on business, and at this time, the object of Gu Shenwei's kowtow with the lotus girl will be a designated killer in the courtyard, usually this person is Liu Xuan.

Gu Shenwei remembered Liu Xuan, when he first entered the fort, there was a time when he broke into the castle at night, but he was intercepted by him, or Yao Nu rescued him from the siege.

Regarding this courtyard killer, Yao Nu once stole a comment from Xue Niang, "Liu Xuan, this guy's martial arts are not high, but he is easy to show, and he always has to raise his right hand and shake it before holding the knife." ”

After a few contacts, Liu Xuan showed obvious interest in the Dutch girl.

In the process of forming a gang together, studying the sword spectrum together, and killing people and practicing swords together, Gu Shenwei and the Dutch girl formed a deep friendship, and the trust between them even exceeded that of lovers, close relatives, and partners, so that Gu Shenwei ignored that a beautiful girl who often accompanied him was a beautiful girl.

The Dutch woman easily gained the trust of others, had friends in all the places where she lived, and even enemies were willing to associate with her, thanks mainly to her calm personality, keen eyesight, and just the right way of talking, but not without regard to appearance.

There are not many female killer apprentices in Jinpeng Castle, the number is usually less than one-fifth of the male apprentices, and the proportion is even lower after elimination, among which there are very few who can be called beautiful women, and the Dutch girl is the undoubted leader among them, even if she enters the inner house, she is not inferior.

Beauty brings many benefits to the Dutch girl, but it also brings trouble.

It was a day when the apprentice's slaughter was at an end, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl came to ask for peace as usual, Shangguan Nu was still not there, and after Liu Xuan presided over the kowtow ceremony for the master, he suddenly said a strange word, "I heard that your two knives are quite special, when will I show them." ”

The two teenagers immediately understood that trouble was coming.

They rarely show their polished and thinned narrow knives in front of outsiders, and the ones who participated in the monthly trial are all normal knives, who discovered the abnormality and revealed it to Liu Xuan? The first thing the two of them suspected was Zinu.

The relationship between the lotus girl and the maid next to Miss Luo Ningcha is very good, and after a little inquiry, it proves that the suspicion will not be wrong, Zi Nu and Liu Xuan are acquaintances, before entering Dongbao, Liu Xuan can be regarded as half of Zi Nu's master.

The two teenagers regretted that they didn't kill the heel worm in the first place, and now that the time had been missed, killing the purple slave would only provoke Liu Xuan's revenge, and what they were worried about now was that Liu Xuan still knew something.

Whether it is Gu Shenwei or the lotus girl, they do not plan to hand over the nameless sword book, even if it may be a great achievement, since they have appreciated the mystery of the sword technique, they have been obsessed with it, the more people kill, the stronger the sword technique, the more obsessed they are, the two of them now take turns to keep the sword book, and regard it as more important than life.

That night, Liu Xuan came uninvited, and asked Zinu to meet in an uninhabited courtyard south of Mudao Lane, which was not within the scope of the allowed killing, Liu Xuan was very cautious, he didn't think that the martial arts of the two teenagers were stronger than his own, but he was afraid that a group of apprentices would swarm and he couldn't cope with it.

Zi Nu disguised himself when he delivered the news, looking very reluctant, "You two only went to see him in the morning, why did you let me pass the word, really, ha." ”

Gu Shenwei suggested taking this opportunity to kill Liu Xuan and Zinu, and move the bodies to the north of Mudao Alley, across the alley, and the murder would not be investigated.

The lotus girl didn't agree, what did Liu Xuan know, and how widely this news was spread, they didn't know, and if they did it rashly, they would only startle the snake.

The next day, the Lotus Girl brought back bad news, Liu Xuan had supported the operation of killing the Dapeng bird on the cliffside of Mudao Lane, and blamed a drunk killer for the failure of the operation, but there were two strange narrow knives at the scene that attracted attention, and the owner of the knife has not been determined, because he was in a hurry to close the case, and no one made a big noise.

Zi Nu accidentally discovered that Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl's knives were more unique, and told Liu Xuan as a fun thing, so Liu Xuan deduced that it was not only the drunken killer who sabotaged the bird hunt on the edge of the cliff at that time, but also two apprentices.

Liu Xuan's guess is not accurate, but it is not far from the truth.
