Kaxiu calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip and slowly put it down.
He turned to look at Herb, only to see Herb nod slightly.
"Well, we should take a look at their strength."
Kaxiu stood up from the sofa, looked at the butcher Kroger, and made a gesture to invite him to fight: "Old gentleman, please."
"Oh?" Kroger raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect Kaxiu to challenge him directly, and with such a calm attitude. It didn't seem like Kroger was testing Kaxiu's strength, but the other way around.
"Challenge Brother Kroger? Herb, your disciple is really confident... I haven't seen such a confident young man for a long time..."
Feng Yu Yin Lian couldn't help but speak. In fact, she didn't say the second half of this sentence, which was whether she was a little too confident.
All the hunters present were in their seventies or eighties, and their strength had long since fallen from its peak. But, after all, they were once Shadow Hunters of the Hunter Association. Especially the Butcher Kroger, who was the number one Shadow Hunter more than 20 years ago and almost became the strongest Holy Light of the Hunter Association.
In the twenty years he served as a Shadow Hunter, he had led the team to suppress four supernatural events and hunted down three dark creatures of the Disaster Spirit level. In addition, in the battle of Dawn Valley, he successfully captured a Disaster Spirit level alive.
Even though he is old and weak now, Butcher Kroger can be said to be the strongest among all the people present. Now the three dark gold hunters selected and supported by various forces may not be able to get any benefits from Kroger. Kaxiu wanted to find an old senior to learn from, but he picked the strongest one.
"Okay, let's try our hand. My old bones haven't moved in a long time, so let's go directly to the association's enclosed fighting arena."
Kroger smiled. His thoughts were different from Yin Lian's. Kroger admired young people with blood and energy. In his opinion, young people should show their talents. Only in this way can they become a good hunter.
All the old hunters present stood up. They came to the Hunter Association together this time. They wanted to support Hebu's disciples and also to have a rare gathering. Nothing is more interesting than testing the younger generation.
Iron-faced Jem and Saber Kames also showed interest.
In their opinion, this is the teaching of the elders to the younger generation, passing on their own experience to these young men who are just starting out. If possible, after Kroger is finished, the two of them also want to go up and pass on their experience.
Let’s try to see how capable the young hunters today are.
Kroger walked in front and led the way, followed by Kaxiu. Jem and Kames were in the middle, and Herb and Yin Lian were at the end. When they were going down the stairs, Herb suddenly said to Yin Lian: "You just said something wrong. He is not my disciple. I can't teach him at all..."
After that, Herb went straight downstairs, his gray hair shaking slightly.
Only Yin Lian was left standing there in bewilderment: "What do you mean?"
Five minutes later, the six of them came to the innermost part of a building across the street from the mission hall and adjacent to the hunter public gym.
This is a wooden dojo, with walls made of yellow wooden boards and a layer of moist palm oil on the surface. In the center of the dojo, there is a spacious ring.
On the left, a burly old man in gray clothes stopped.
Opposite, a young man in ordinary hunter attire stood quietly.
In a corner of the dojo, four figures gathered together.
Jem was wearing a suit, a tall hat and a stern mask, looking mysterious and dangerous. He was the youngest among the old hunters and had not yet shown the air of old age. Jem was quite interested in the competition.
"Kames, how long do you think this kid can withstand from Kroger?" Jem turned to Kames who had been silent beside him and said.
"Within twenty moves." Kames' voice was hoarse and low.
"Oh? Such a high evaluation? In my opinion, at most ten moves..."
Jem raised his eyebrows, not seeming to agree.
"Kroger will hold back and teach the younger generation that there is no need to use killing skills against dark creatures." Kames said slowly.
"That's right." Jem nodded. "By the way, do you want to come with me to teach the younger generation later? I haven't accepted any apprentices yet, so it's a good opportunity to borrow Heb's apprentice to try my hand and prepare for the future..."
"No." Kames shook his head, his right eye was as black as ink.
"You know me. It's hard for me to hold back when sparring with others. I can't hold back like you guys. I might kill someone by accident..."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his only intact right hand and touched his temple.
Obviously, Kames has been seriously invaded by the disaster. Normally, he is fine, but once he enters the combat state, he will lose his mind and become crazy.
"Okay." Jem shrugged and looked towards the ring in the distance.
In the center of the dojo, the sunlight shining in through the high windows is extremely abundant.
Kroger looked at Kaxiu and was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he said, "This old guy Herb has never accepted any disciples. I thought he was planning to take his fighting skills to the tombstone. I didn't expect that at this time, he actually has the inheritance and gave you the badge of honor..."
"I'm sorry, although I don't really want to explain. But, Heb is not my teacher, and I haven't inherited his legacy." Kaxiu took a slight step forward, and half of his body was standing in the sunlight.
"Really?" Kroger narrowed his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Then how about I be your teacher? It just so happens that I have never accepted a disciple..."
Kroger was not joking, his tone was quite serious. He was really moved. When he saw Kaxiu for the first time, Kroger felt that he had found a good seedling. That was a keen intuition of the strong. The intuition told Kroger: Kaxiu was not simple, and could even be called mysterious.
Kaxiu smiled and shook his head: "I think it is more likely that I will be your master than you will be my teacher..."
Kroger was not angry, he just thought the young man in front of him was indeed interesting. He did not delay any longer and also took a step forward.
"Come on, attack me, I'll give you three moves."
"Are you sure?" Kaxiu's eyes were as calm as water.
"Heh, how about you let me have three moves?" Kroger pulled off the sleeve bandage and threw it aside. He felt that Kaxiu's temper was just like when he was young, showing off his edge and not caring about anyone.
"Okay." Kasu nodded.
Kroger didn't expect that Kashu actually agreed. He subconsciously glanced at Herb not far away, then laughed and cursed to himself.
"Good boy, you're even crazier than I was when I was young!"
"Then just stand still and take my punch."
As soon as Kroger finished speaking, he stepped forward with a jolt. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his strong muscular forearms. A black liquid quickly spread across his skin.
Giving Kroger's entire arm a hard metallic feel.
Bang!
He ran wildly and accelerated, his muscles catapulted, and a straight punch pierced through the air in front of him, spanning a distance of more than ten meters and approaching Kaxiu's chest.
"With 50% of my strength and speed, you should be able to handle it."
Kroger thought to himself, without stopping his hand. He yanked his arm forward fiercely, and a white arc was drawn in the air.
"Hmm? Why don't you take action?"
"If you don't show up, you're going to get hit by a punch."
"Is the reaction so slow?"
Under Kroger's somewhat surprised gaze, he punched Kashu's defenseless chest. There was a muffled sound in the air, and the cloth on the chest and back of Kashu's hunter outfit exploded, turning into two holes.
"What the hell? Is it over?" Iron-faced Jim was surprised.
Sabre Kames frowned slightly. He clearly saw that Kashu did not make any defensive posture, as if he did not react to being hit.
"This..." Feng Yu Yinlian glanced at Hebu with a strange look.
Herb shook his head.
On the ring, under the golden circular sunlight area.
Kroger retracted his fist and looked at Kaxiu with his brows lowered: "So when you said let me make three moves, you meant standing still and defenseless and letting me make three moves..."
"Hahaha, this is too much of an insult to me."
"Iron Meteor Fist!"
He stretched out his arms, and his clothes were stretched open, revealing his strong and sturdy muscles underneath. He didn't look like an old man at all. On Kroger's chest, a ball of black liquid the size of a heart was moving slightly.
The next second, the liquid gushed out crazily, about half of it. They passed under the membrane and formed a tree-branch-like black metal tattoo in the gap between the arm muscles, bringing an unshakable sense of power.
"This punch, I use all my strength, take it!
! "Lan
Kroger took a quick step forward, turned his body and swung it, and stretched his powerful latissimus dorsi backward. His entire arm and fist drew a 180-degree fan-shaped outline, and the black and white swinging fist suddenly burst the air.
winter!
This punch still hit Kaxiu right in the middle of his chest!
The hunter's outfit on his upper body exploded, turning into pieces of cloth the size of a fingernail and falling down. Kroger did not fly backwards as he had expected. The young man opposite him remained motionless, his feet digging deep into the ground like tree roots. His full-strength Iron Meteor Fist was actually blocked by him, and the surging power was swallowed up without a trace.
The sun was shining brightly, and golden lines shone from all directions on Kaxiu's exposed upper body. Strong! Tough! Perfect! Every muscle group was raised just right, and every line appeared in the right place. It was like a sculpture made by a world-class carving master, a classical city wall, a towering tower. Under this body, every cell was spewing out overflowing vitality.
Kroger thought of his peak years, when he was the strongest. Compared to the man in front of him, he was probably inferior. No!
Count the chips.
He looked at Kaxiu's calm and indifferent eyes and immediately smiled.
"You are indeed qualified, give me three moves!"
As the figure passed by, all the black fluid in Kroger's chest rushed out, turning his entire right arm a deep black.
Even more, a black metal-like substance extended out, using the entire arm as the skeleton, and instantly solidified into a huge butcher knife in the air.
An extremely oppressive and dangerous atmosphere turned into wind and waves and spread away.
"Does my butcher knife have the right to make you step back? Bai Kui!"
Kroger's eyes flashed with excitement, and the blood in his old veins that was about to die began to burn again. Kroger could not help but use his famous skills. He once used the butcher knife to fight two disaster spirits in the battle of Dawn Valley alone, and won the battle.
Kill one and capture the other alive, you can see the power of this move.
call!
The butcher knife cut through the air in front of it like lightning. The remaining shadows connected together, as if casting a dark wall in the air.
The dark wall chopped down heavily, splitting the circular light into two.
Peng!
Peng!
!
Two loud noises, one light and one heavy, exploded forward and backward.
The howling wind swept across the entire fighting field. A tall figure flew out backwards, leaving a long and narrow trail like a cloud.
With a tail flame like black fragments, it flew straight towards the four old hunters who were watching the battle nearby. It deviated slightly and hit the wooden wall on one side. With a bang, a hole half the size of a man suddenly appeared, and the whole wall shook suddenly, and wood chips fell like rain.
"Fuck, Kroger has been forced into a serious fight and even has to use a butcher knife!" Iron-faced Jim opened his mouth wide and his eyes changed dramatically.
It’s a pity that the mask is blocking his view, so I can’t tell what expression is underneath.
"Is that kid okay? Being hit by a butcher's knife is no joke!" Feng Yu Yinlian said, pointing to the hole in the wood next to her.
The entire wall on this side was cracked, extending all the way to the supporting beams. The hole looked like it was made by a cannonball.
"I don't know if he's okay, but I know that the person in the hole is not him." Kami's voice was as hoarse as ever.
“The one flying out wasn’t him? Then it was…” Yin Lian was suddenly stuck.
She looked in the direction of Herb's finger, and there was the ring.
At the very center, under the circular sunlight, a strong figure slowly turned around. It was Kaxiu! There was a huge black butcher knife stuck on his shoulder, which looked like it was about to cut off his arm. Unexpectedly, Kaxiu reached out his hand, pulled out the butcher knife, and flicked it.
The butcher knife drew an arc of dozens of meters in the air and cut into the ground.
It can be clearly seen that there is a deep depression in the shape of a shoulder at the blade. The butcher knife chopped down, but it did not break the defense! It was even harder than the opponent, and it cut a huge gap.
The four old hunters were silent for a while, and they immediately turned their heads to look at the hole in the wall. A cough came from behind, and a somewhat depressed old face appeared in front of everyone. Five seconds later, Kroger, who was so ragged that he only had a pair of trousers left, limped into the dojo.
With a look of heartache, he stroked the badly damaged black butcher knife on the ground.
There was a moment of silence.
"Come on, Jem, didn't you say you wanted to try your hand?"
The usually serious Camus suddenly teased Iron-faced Jem.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…”
Jem coughed repeatedly, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
"Forget it, I suddenly remembered that I'm still injured. I've been training too hard recently, and my old bones can't take it anymore..."
