"You want my knife?" Deputy Captain Huang flicked the blade of his knife, a little amused: "If you really beat me, my position will be yours, and I will certainly hand over a mere knife to you. But I really don't know where you get the confidence from. Do you really think that just because you live with her, you can be her level?"
Zhao Changhe did not argue, but smiled slightly: "Please enlighten me."
When the two men arrived outside the courtyard, a group of believers gathered around them in silence, and the atmosphere quickly became grim.
It is not uncommon for a person of the first level to fight against a person of the second level, but is this ability to challenge opponents of higher levels really possible in a novice who has only practiced for more than a month
Zhao Changhe dared to fight, of course he had his confidence. Now he is no longer the ignorant person he was when he first came to your place.
He knew very well that at the low level of martial arts he was currently exposed to, there was no qualitative change between the first and second levels of Xuanguan, which meant that the power was greater and the reaction was faster, but the amplitude was not large. His internal skills were enough to make up for this gap, but the opponent did not know that this information gap and the opponent's underestimation of the enemy were his chances of winning.
My problem is how to use this inner strength while hiding it from being discovered...
Besides, if you don't practice, you won't get better... Zhao Changhe fought every day in the mountain stronghold, and had fought many times with the old sect members. He earned the reputation of "Boss Zhao" and "Little Overlord" through fighting, and his actual combat experience was also acceptable. But seeing that this Deputy Captain Huang had done nothing in the city for so long, and only cared about hugging maids and drinking wine, how much of his former bravery could he still display
Yue Hongling was able to challenge opponents of higher levels, and Luo Qi was already famous all over the world... I didn't even dare to give it a try, I might as well go home and farm. Why should I meet these people again in the martial arts world!
Zhao Changhe took a deep breath, took a step, and took the first step.
The long sword passed through the space of several feet in front of people's eyes. People only saw a flash of sword light and blood swirling. The bright red sword light reached the left side of Deputy Captain Huang's neck in an instant.
"What a sharp knife!" Many people were shocked.
"Just from the skill of this sword, who can tell that this is someone who has only been practicing for more than a month?"
"I'm not surprised to hear that he has been practicing for three years..."
"Are there really such geniuses in the world? And they all live in the same room..."
The thought in people's minds was just a moment, and Deputy Captain Huang's expression was also extremely solemn. He was even shocked by the speed of the knife and broke into a cold sweat. He subconsciously dodged to the right and blocked the steel knife in his hand to the left, trying to use his higher level of practice and the crushing weight of the steel knife to deflect Zhao Changhe's knife.
Once his weak point is exposed, the outcome will be decided.
The helmsman sighed solemnly: "Old Huang's momentum has been taken away. He shouldn't be so passive..."
As he spoke, Zhao Changhe's seemingly lightning-fast and impossible-to-retract knife stance suddenly stopped in mid-air. Deputy Captain Huang swung his knife hard, but it was like chopping on cotton. Zhao Changhe's knife slid past the side of his knife like a swimming fish and slid towards his wrist.
"This is indeed a move from the Blood Evil Sword Technique, but almost no one uses it, right?"
"The Blood Evil Sword Technique has a lot of openings and closings, and the subtle changes in it are not very compatible with others. It takes extra effort to integrate them. Most people simply abandon these clever moves."
"So how long has he been practicing?"
"Has he really only practiced this kind of control for more than a month?" The thought also flashed through Deputy Captain Huang's mind, and he quickly put away his knife.
However, he found that by withdrawing the knife, he was the one left wide open.
There seemed to be a smile on Zhao Changhe's face, and he kicked Deputy Captain Huang in the abdomen with his big foot without any hesitation.
This kick no longer showed the exquisiteness of the sword's movement just now. The violent and unmatched blood evil force burst out violently. Deputy Captain Huang felt that his second level of blood evil skill was like he had practiced in vain. He could not withstand this completely identical force. He was kicked several feet away like a cloud, hit the courtyard wall heavily, and fell to the ground again.
“Ahem…” He curled up on the ground laboriously: “Give me the Blood-Fixing Pill… He has disturbed my blood-killing energy…”
The place was completely silent.
The same Blood Evil Skill, the same Blood Evil Sword Technique, one level breaks the second level after only the third round of fighting!
Deputy Captain Huang hasn't even found an opportunity to launch an attack!
Even Zhao Changhe himself didn't expect it to be so simple, he didn't even use his internal energy... Instructor Sun was right, the training of swordsmanship is indeed as important as the training of martial arts.
The sword that had been practiced a thousand or even three thousand times every day finally began to shine brightly in this world.
Zhao Changhe pointed his sword and said, "Master Fang, did I win this challenge?"
Seeing the eyes that had become bloodshot and violent due to the activation of the Blood Evil Power, Fang Buping, who was pointed at by the sword, actually felt a little frightened, as if this violent man was going to chop him with the sword.
He took a deep breath and gripped the armrest of the recliner tightly. "Yes, according to the rules of the sect, from today on, the position of Deputy Captain Huang will be yours."
Zhao Changhe laughed: "Well, as the deputy helmsman in charge of money and grain, you have a say in the allocation of money and grain. Wang Dashan!" Wang Dashan was terrified: "Xiao, Xiao is here."
"You little brat, you are also my deputy village chief, speak louder!" Zhao Changhe pointed his knife in the direction of the warehouse and said, "Take a few brothers with you, get three hundred taels of silver, pull three carts of corn, and take half of the meat to support the construction of Beimang Mountain Village. Be careful, don't empty it out, leave some for the brothers in the city, don't be stingy and don't know how to behave."
Fang Buping's face turned green.
Zhao Changhe strode to the courtyard wall and fed Deputy Helmsman Huang a blood-fixing pill. "I, Zhao, have been entrusted by Master Xue to take good care of Beimang Mountain Stronghold. Deputy Helmsman Huang should be in charge of the money and food for this branch."
At this moment, Zhao Changhe had more than the Blood-fixing Pill he had deliberately left behind in his pocket. He had seven or eight pills, which were secretly given to him by Instructor Sun before he left. Deputy Captain Huang had never expected that it was Zhao Changhe, not Fang Buping, who would solve his problem first. After taking the pill, he was silent for a long time before he whispered, "Thank you. The knife is yours."
He looked like a man who came from a gangster background, and he was quite straightforward. Zhao Changhe didn't bother to be polite with him. He took the thick steel knife, gestured with it twice with great interest, and hung it on his waist. He turned around and hugged the stack of books just now. The other party smiled and said, "If the helmsman has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
Fang Buping took several deep breaths. If he was not injured now, he would have been able to chop Zhao Changhe in half regardless of the consequences. However, he was so injured that he could not even get out of bed. What he was afraid of was that Zhao Changhe would chop him in half regardless of the consequences. Judging from the swiftness of the knife just now, others might not even be able to rescue him in time.
He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and maintained a calm tone: "Master Zhao is brave and valiant. It is a blessing for the Holy Church to have a great general. However, since you have joined the sect, you still need to clarify some rules with Master Zhao."
Zhao Changhe said: "Captain, please speak."
"The stronghold is not your personal property, but a branch office seeking financial resources. This is the same everywhere. If the stronghold has any harvest, half of it must be kept and the other half must be handed over to the branch office. If officers, soldiers or righteous bandits are captured by you, you cannot deal with them without authorization, but must escort them to me for decision. Master Zhao must be aware of these matters. Otherwise, if it is reported to the main hall, the Four Symbols Sect will not protect you for such matters. The internal affairs of our Blood God Sect are still independent."
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Of course I understand that. But on the other hand, if there are soldiers or righteous people fighting against bandits, I hope the branch office can provide support."
"As it should be." Fang Buping really didn't want to look at Zhao Changhe's sunny and smiling face anymore, so he waved his hand in disgust: "Go ahead."
Zhao Changhe looked at Wang Dashan and others pushing carts in the distance and waved his hand: "Brothers, go back to the mountain!"
At this moment, the sky flashed with golden light.
It is very rare in the world that the Book of Troubled Times shines continuously within less than a moment. Almost the whole world is looking up to see which list is changing this time
At first glance, it was the Hidden Dragon List again.
"The twelfth month, Minor Cold. Zhao Changhe is at the first level of Xuanguan, and within three combinations he is better than the second level, so he has great potential."
"A new seat has been added to the Hidden Dragon Ranking."
"Hidden Dragon 250, Zhao Changhe."
No, the ranking is very stupid, and I didn’t get the same treatment as Yue Hongling and Xia Chichi, who had a comment at the end. It seems like they don’t take it seriously.
After all, it was just a low-end game of the first and second levels of the Xuanguan. It was not uncommon for others to leapfrog, and it was rare for them to win in three combinations. In fact, it was not a good thing to be on the Hidden Dragon List with this level of strength. If you were not strong enough, you would be envied. Many of these rookies at the bottom of the list would not live long.
Most people in the world took a look and didn't care, at most thinking that the name Zhao Changhe sounded a little familiar...
Thousands of miles away, in a secret place, Xia Chichi opened his eyes from his cross-legged meditation, looked up at the sky, and a touching smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You chased after me to get on the list, are you trying to remind me of something? Is this called competing for the list and showing affection? Hehe."
"In fact, I have long known that no matter how late you and I start, the Book of Troubled Times will shine in the sky, and there will definitely be a place for you and me."
"The Hidden Dragon List is not the end, the Heaven, Earth and Human List is waiting for us."
Summer is here, why is it so late
She, Xia Chichi, is one of them, and so is Zhao Changhe.
Somewhere in the city, Yue Hongling stood on top of a tall building, quietly watching Zhao Changhe instructing his subordinates to transport supplies in the distance below.
That day, Zhao Changhe's words suddenly flashed through his mind: "I, Zhao Changhe, did not come to this world to travel around the countryside."
I recommend a book called "Three Kingdoms: I am Zhang Xiu, what can I do for you?". The idea of this book is mine (put on the clothes of Zhang Xiu, and my aunt... Cao Cao is coming and they are irreconcilable, which is very explosive), but I don't want to write about the Three Kingdoms, so I gave it to a friend to write. I helped with the beginning... But I was busy with my new book and didn't pay attention to it. I don't know why this idiot gave it such a title. I'm speechless.
