On the day Gu Shenwei went to the Fire Refining Academy to participate in the monthly test, there was a light rain in the morning, and after the rain cleared, the mountain breeze was slightly cool, and the blue sky was like a wash.

In order to let the apprentice play well, Tie Hanfeng didn't drink at breakfast, walked out of the yard, and took a breath of fresh air, "It's really a good weather to kill people and dismember, the smell of blood will roll away in a while, apprentice, take a knife, kill those puppies like pigs." ”

Tie Hanfeng limped in front to lead the way, Gu Shenwei was dressed in black, masked with a knife, and followed behind, this outfit was a requirement for the monthly test, in order to avoid the apprentices becoming famous too early, according to the rules of Jinpeng Castle, a killer who has been unknown all his life is the best killer.

It is not easy to do this, the young killer can still strictly abide by the principle of silence, but the killers who are semi-retired after middle age will inevitably brag when recalling the past, in the past ten days together, Tie Hanfeng has told his apprentice many incredible killing processes, according to him, the people he has killed are connected in a row, enough to cross the entire Gobi.

The only thing he didn't dare to reveal casually was the identity of the person who was killed, which was one of the unquestionable principles of Jinpeng Castle, even if the name of the killer spread all over the world, the Dubu King had to pretend that everything was a secret like the earliest generations of killers.

As soon as he entered the Fire Refining Courtyard, Tie Hanfeng was full of smiles, greeting every Yellow Belt Steward and Killer Master, his red-chested face was full of joy, as if he was a guest who had come to the wedding banquet.

Seven or eight killer masters came today, most of them are the same as Tie Hanfeng, forty or fifty years old, just past the peak state of the killer's career, and have obtained the master's permission, no longer have to kill people as a career, but live by teaching the experience and skills of killing.

These few people were silent and silent, scattered in the courtyard, rarely talking to each other, always had a hand firmly on the hilt of the knife, and occasionally swept their gaze, straight to the bottom of people's hearts, and the disciples around them were only allowed to stand three steps away, no matter how they looked, they all looked like real killers.

Tie Hanfeng was the only enthusiastic person in this courtyard, he threw his apprentice aside, and jumped around by himself, chatting with this person and whispering to that person, strangely enough, the Yellow Belt stewards were very cold to him, but those killer masters who did not smile did not resist him much, and even allowed him to walk within three steps to speak.

The measures to hide his identity were useless to Huan Nu, Tie Hanfeng was just one of his apprentices, everyone knew that the steward in charge of carrying the corpse came over and shook his head:

"Well, a useful minion. Huan Nu, if only you could carry yourself to the cliff of death. He laughed.

Gu Shenwei came here once every three days to help carry the corpse as agreed, and he was relatively familiar with the steward, so he also laughed with him, "No matter who dies, I will send him to the Death Cliff smoothly." ”

Through the black cloth, his words were dull and indistinct, and the yellow belt steward shook his head again, and walked away after saying "pity" several times, obviously believing that Huan Nu would be the one who died.

It was from this steward that Gu Shenwei found that something was wrong, although the apprentice's monthly test was cruel and abnormal, but the defeated were only injured, and one of the ten times may not have been killed on the spot, and the steward seemed to have no reason to treat him as a "dead man" so early.

Tie Hanfeng dragged his right leg back, his expression was still so elated, he waved his hand to a thin killer master from afar, and then lowered his head and asked his apprentice, "Who did you offend in the castle?"

"Nope. Gu Shenwei lied, he offended a lot of people, and quite a few of them wanted his head.

"Today your opponent is determined to kill you. ”

"I want to kill him too. ”

Gu Shenwei told the truth this time, and was a little suspicious that the master wanted to stimulate his fighting spirit to say this, in fact, this trick was completely redundant, he was ready, and the knife wounds on his body were proof.

"Hehe, little bastard, Master, you dare to deceive, you are bold. Look, the over there, he's your opponent. His master said that the two of you have personal grievances, and no one will interfere with one sword. ”

Three steps away from the thin killer master in the distance, there stood a stocky young man, also dressed in black and masked, Gu Shenwei could swear that he had never seen this apprentice, he had been in the Carved Wood Courtyard for a total of five or six days, and he had no chance to meet anyone at all.

"It's all the same, I'm going to kill him anyway. ”

Gu Shenwei clenched the hilt of the knife, his mind was not distracted, and he was not at all nervous about the imminent killing of a stranger.

Tie Hanfeng snorted, "Personal grudges, go to TMD, I haven't heard this word for a long time." Well, go and kill him, remember, it's okay to have a few more moves, but you have to kill with one sword, and you can't make up for it. ”

A yellow belt steward waved and the test began.

Gu Shenwei pushed open the portal assigned to him, and inside was a narrow alley that only allowed two people to walk side by side, with a small dim lamp hanging overhead, and more than ten steps away, the stocky black-clothed young man was standing.

The door was closed, and there were only two murderous killer apprentices left in the "alley", and the only concealment and protection was the dark clothes on their bodies.

The two approached step by step, Gu Shenwei wanted to ask the person opposite, what "personal grudge" had to kill him, but he felt that it was too much, he still wanted to kill the other party without a personal grudge, maybe it was just a story made up by the young man to increase his murderous intent.

There were only five steps left, and Gu Shen was about to make a knife, and the young man on the opposite side had already made the first move, jumped forward, stabbed the knife in the chest, and before the move got old, he had already stepped on the wall and jumped over his head.

This is a typical apprentice killer of Fortune Wings, no matter how cramped the environment, still trying to attack the enemy from behind.

The boy jumped up and down like a monkey, and Gu Shenwei stabilized the next plate, relying on timely turning to seal the flaws, and the two did not really fight each other in five or six moves in a row.

The boy prepared to take the leap for the tenth time, and his movements were a little slower than the previous ones, his shoulders had sunk, but his steps did not jump, which was a sign of lack of strength and a premature revelation of intention.

Gu Shenwei cut it down with a knife.

The boy threw away the narrow knife and covered his heart in vain with both hands, blood gurgling out from his fingers, and he tried to stabilize his body unconvinced, but he could only retreat step by step, and finally fell to the ground, his legs twitched a few times, and he died.

This was the first time Gu Shenwei had killed a person in a face-to-face competition, and there was an irrepressible feeling of vomiting coming from the deepest part of his stomach, which was the feeling he had many times, but since he threw Xue Niang's body off the cliff, he thought he would never have it again.

The blood was spreading to his feet, and Gu Shenwei also retreated step by step, until he hit the portal before he woke up, and immediately turned around and knocked three times, which meant the end of the competition.

Gu Shenwei walked out of the room, his face was expressionless, and the feeling of vomiting had been suppressed by him, and the steward who was guarding outside was obviously taken aback, and several killer masters nearby couldn't help but cast their eyes over.

It was the only one-knife death of the day, and several others were seriously injured and sent to Fort West's payroll with unrealistic expectations.

In order to keep his promise, Gu Shen went to the boulder cliff alone against the corpse, recited the "Sutra of the Dead" three times, pushed the blood-dried corpse off the cliff, and gave it to the chick who did not know whether to live or die.

The deceased's master didn't care about it, it was a commonplace and indispensable scene in the life of a killer in Jinpeng Castle, and he didn't even look at his apprentice again.

The person who was extremely dissatisfied with this test was Tie Hanfeng, he carefully examined the wound, and didn't say anything at that time, and when Gu Shenwei returned to the small courtyard after throwing the body, he saw the master without a smiling face.

"Little bastard, you can be regarded as a killer, you are qualified to be a meat-eating dog, have some people said that you don't look like a killer?"

Gu Shenwei remembered that Hu Shining, the teacher of the Carving Academy, had said that his martial arts had "fatal flaws", so he replied "Yes"

"You're pretty proud of killing you in the first test, aren't you?"

"Nope. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't understand why the master was angry, he completed the task, and he thought that he had done it well.

"Don't you know that you have to kill people from behind? What's the matter with that slash in the chest? Didn't you learn something from those rotten people?"

"I haven't been in the Carved Wood Courtyard. ”

Gu Shenwei held the knife in his hand, and his tone was stiff.

Tie Hanfeng was stunned for a moment, he knew Huan Nu's experience, he listened to Hu Shining's recommendation, and went to the Fire Refining Academy to accept apprentices to this young man, but he had always underestimated the seriousness of Huan Nu's lack of basic training as a killer, and this could not be blamed on him, for many years, Huan Nu was the only killer apprentice who had not been trained in the Carved Wood Academy.

"your eighteenth generation ancestors plus seven aunts and eight aunts, you come to calculate me? I don't understand anything, why do you want to be a killer? I was miserable by you, I will kill you, chop you into meat puree and feed the dogs, then kill the dogs and feed the pigs, kill the pigs and feed the mice, throw a few in the mountains, throw a few in the river, and let you lack a few pieces of meat for the rest of your life. ”

Tie Hanfeng cursed in his mouth, and rushed over with a narrow knife in his hand, although he regarded the apprentice as an unacceptable defect that he would only attack head-on, but when he did it himself, he also went straight to the chest and abdomen, in his opinion, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and the advanced technique of flanking and backing was not used at all.

Gu Shenwei had always been wary of his master, and looked at his fierce face, thinking that this time it was true.

Tie Hanfeng didn't raise his sword, his shots were always as fast as lightning, his moves were fleeting in an instant, and there were very few flaws, even if he was discovered, it would be difficult to crack.

Gu Shenwei didn't raise his knife either, his sword skills were too far behind his master, and he would only die faster if he shot rashly.

Gu Shenwei took a step back, a faint sour taste came out of his mouth, his heart was full of hatred for his master, even if he knew that this old man was not specifically targeting a certain person, he still couldn't stand those foul words, there were few traces left by his past life, but they were deep-rooted, he would rather deal with insidious cunning than get along with hurtful bluntness.

Gu's knife technique, Tieshan knife technique, and Jinpeng Fort knife technique were instantly passed through in Gu Shenwei's mind, and he was immediately given up again, and then in a flash of inspiration, he made a move, a knife, no, a sword stabbed the master's neck.
