Chapter 2 The Bearded Man

Another night, the blacksmith's shop in Willow White was already lit up, and he had spent many nights like this over the years.

The snow on the street outside the door had melted as soon as it drifted in.

I don't know when, there were a few people standing on the street, and they seemed to be waiting for something.

At the other end, a figure slowly appeared from the wind and snow, his steps were very slow but steady, the distance of each step under that step seemed to have been carefully measured, his upper body was very straight, the wind and snow could not make it shake a bit, he was the young man who bought a sword at the blacksmith shop today.

Now, the two sides are facing each other with the blacksmith shop as the center.

The young man's footsteps didn't stop, and the few people also moved, four, extremely fast, and the footsteps seemed to overpower the sound of tempering in the shop.

They have the knife in their hands on their waists, and the knives are all good knives, and the people are even better at the rivers and lakes.

The youth still don't stop.

"Zheng!"

The two parties staggered, only to hear a soft groan, and saw that there was an additional sword wound in the throat of each of the four people, and the blood rushed out like a trickle, and then fell to the ground in disbelief.

They didn't seem to believe that there was such a fast sword in this world, their hands were still on the hilt, and they couldn't even scream, and they could only whimper and lose their life when they wanted to speak.

At this moment, the sound of tempering in the shop had a slight pause, and it returned to normal.

"Ten taels of silver, I took the sword. ”

The young man walked in, placed the silver on the rack, and went out with the sword.

This seems to be just a simple transaction, but Liu Baiyi knows in his heart, and the young man also knows in his heart, when someone dies at the door of the blacksmith shop, when the young man enters his shop, everything will not be easy.

"Ah Fei, what a fast sword. ”

After the young man left, Liu Baiyi muttered a name in his mouth, he didn't see the confrontation outside the door that ended at the moment, he listened, and the four of them were almost swords at the same time within a breath.

"It seems that my shop will not be very safe in the future. ”

He sighed, his tone a little inexplicable.

The fire reflected a different kind of thought in his eyes.

"What about that person?"

Not long after the young man left, another person came.

"Gone. ”

Liu Baiyi put down the household belongings in his hand and looked at those people slowly.

"In which direction?"

The man at the head had a stubble on his face, and his tone was a little solemn, because before he came in, he saw the sword wounds on the necks of those people, and he sealed his throat with a sword, and he was quick and ruthless.

Liu Baiyi pointed to the corner of the street, but he didn't hide it, because these people would not be that person's opponent, and there were few people who were that person's opponent today.

"Clean handling. ”

The big man said to the three people beside him, and then led the rest of the people into the snowy night.

"Alas. ”

Liu Baiyi sighed and shook his head.

"Don't worry, my sword is fast, and you will go very fast, just a moment of pain. ”

Among the three of them, a man in gray with a thin figure said coldly, his face was very pale, but he didn't know if he was frozen or for other reasons.

His eyes were narrow and long, and his pale face was like a poisonous snake spitting letters.

"Why bother. ”

A hint of hesitation flashed in Liu Baiyi's eyes.

"If you want to blame, blame the man, he took the golden silk armor, and we will block his news. ”

The man was about to draw his iron sword as he spoke, but then the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank in horror, and the two people beside him had already fallen, clutching their throats.

"Life is so short, but you don't cherish it. ”

Liu Baiyi shook his head, and his blood-stained right index finger was against the white-faced man's eyebrows.

"I guess you have anything else to say, right?"

He asked, looking at the trembling man.

"What a fast sword. ”

The man looked at the index finger and said in a trembling voice, his words were very strange, but what he saw was a sword in his fingers.

The blood of his index finger flowed down his eyebrows, and his face turned even paler, pale.

"Don't worry, my sword is fast, and you won't feel pain. ”

After Liu Baiyi finished speaking, his index finger surged, and suddenly went straight into the center of the man's eyebrows, and then pulled out.

"Looks like I'm going to need a sword of my own, too. ”

He frowned a little at the red and white stain on his index finger, and then at the upside-down corpse in the shop.

"Trouble. ”

As he spoke, the others had already bent down and lifted the bodies of the three men and threw them on the street, washing the blood with water several times before stopping.

He looked into the night, then into the depths of the street, and then closed the door.

Not long after, a figure slowly walked out of the night, walked to the corpses outside the blacksmith shop, and then cleaned up, he was the young man who bought the sword, Ah Fei.

......

Blacksmith's shop, courtyard house.

It was a little rudimentary, with a wooden bed, a set of worn tables and chairs, and a humanoid stake, and nothing else.

"......"

I saw Liu Baiyi standing quietly in front of the stake, the black light flashed in his right hand, and suddenly there was an additional wound in the throat of the stake, the wound was just born, and the same was true of the heart of the stake, followed by the center of the eyebrows, and the three seemed to be in sequence but almost at the same time.

The hair that was scattered on his back had long been wet with sweat, and his body was slightly thin but very well-proportioned.

He was holding a sword in his hand that he had taken at random from the pendulum, he didn't understand internal strength, not even martial arts, he could only stab.

Over the years, he has learned how to stab each sword at what speed, at what angle, and with what force.

He has no profound family background, no powerful master, no so-called golden finger, all he has is the sweat he has shed.

"I don't know if I've learned to fight left and right. ”

Liu Baiyi muttered in his mouth, and there was already an extra sword in his left hand.

Suddenly, the terrifying sword shadow flashed away, rising and falling in an instant, but in an instant, he had already stabbed out seventeen swords.

"The book says that the sword god Xie Xiaofeng divided the Xie swordsmanship into two, holding the sword on the left and right, and the seventy-two roads became one hundred and forty-four, which was unpredictable. ”

I saw Liu Baiyi muttering to himself, and then the sword shadows of his hands came out together, but the two swords were like extremely repulsive, just like the shadows in the mirror, the direction was opposite, and the angle was also opposite.

Then, his eyes froze, and suddenly the two swords had changed, just like two people out of the sword, with one heart and two purposes, no longer opposite, but different.

"There is also Na Yan thirteen, who practiced swords at the age of ten, and was familiar with the sword spectrum of the world at the age of twenty. ”

“......”

Then Liu Baiyi thought of himself, and when he thought that he would only stab after so many years, he couldn't help but be silent.

"It's reached a bottleneck, and the body can't break through the current limit without internal strength. ”

After a long time, after completing his daily sword practice, he shook his head.

Outside, it was already dark.

Liu Baiyi rinsed and then opened the shop.

Today's street is very deserted, there is no sun, Liu Baiyi looked at the cold snow floating outside and then turned around, the snow outside the door is very thick, as if it has fallen overnight, and occasionally the passing carriage rolls over and makes a creaking sound.

The fire in the house was getting stronger, and the blacksmith shop was gradually making a very regular sound of tempering.

The cold wind howls like a knife.

"Good craftsmanship. ”

I don't know when, there was a man standing outside the door, a burly bearded man, he was only wearing a thin coat in the snowy weather, and the muscles of his bare arms were knotted and bulging like cold iron.

It's just that his eyes were dazed and heavy, thinking that he was attracted by the sound of striking iron. The regular voice made the man's eyes gradually come back to his senses.

He subconsciously pulled out a sword embryo in the room, and looked at the winding lines on both sides of the sword body, and his eyes were a little amazed.

"I didn't expect that there would be someone in this Baoding City who could forge a hundred refining swords. ”

His tone was a little surprised.

"There are no hundred refinements, but sixty-eight refinements. ”

Liu Baiyi seemed to remember the number of times each sword was tempered and folded very clearly.

"Why should you be humble, there are very few people in this world who can forge sixty refinements. ”

Dahan's voice is as thick as his face, and it gives people the impression that his temperament is also like this.

"It's a pity that I don't use a sword, or I would have bought one. ”

He then shook his head, showing pity in his eyes, and then put down the sword in his hand and turned to leave.

"I'm still short of a helper, do you want to try?"

Liu Baiyi stopped what he was doing.

"Seeing that you are strong and burly, it is estimated that it will not take a while to get started. ”

The big man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes shook a little, some moved, some hesitated and some surprised.

It was also in this front and back foot, that there was actually an additional vendor on the originally empty street.

It was a meat case.

I saw that the signboard above was writing, scalpers and white sheep, killed and sold.

Behind the meat case stood a tall, big, fat one-eyed woman, holding a boning knife the size of a wheel, her face was full of horizontal meat, and a scar ran from the corner of her right eye wearing a black blindfold to the corner of her mouth.

Looking at the meat sold on the meat case, it was actually a living person who had been stripped naked.

In broad daylight, she actually sold human flesh.
