Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 36: Tiger roars in the mountains

Views:

Beimang is not a thousand-mile mountain range, it is just a big mountain. Ever since the Blood God Cult entered the mountain, there have been no other forces on the mountain.

But there are still other small hills and forests in the surrounding areas, and some bandits are entrenched there. Even in the towns outside the mountain there are some "heroes", who can almost be collectively called the characters on the Mangshan Road.

Unfortunately, the awesomeness of Mangshan was a thing of the last era, and now it is just a remote place. The probability of such a place raising a real hero is still relatively small. Those who can break through the first level of the Xuanguan can hold their heads high and call themselves a big shot, just like Luo Qi did when he pretended to be the eldest brother of the outer sect.

So how many heroes can there be

When Zhao Changhe went down the mountain, he suddenly thought to himself, this place is really boring, the pool is too shallow, the structure is too low, even the people in the chaotic world list can't see it, when can I touch the mystery like the blind man? I just took advantage of this place to practice, I don't know what level is suitable for leaving.

His mind flashed through it and he had already seen the situation on the mountain road.

The roadblocks set up by the mountain stronghold were kicked all over the place, and several bandits in the stronghold were hung upside down on the trees by another group of strong men. As the branches shook, the snow on the branches fell down and landed in a certain place, causing the bandits who were hung upside down to howl loudly, and the strong men laughed beside them.

There were two young men in coarse cloth short jackets standing honestly by the roadside. They were probably the passers-by who had been stopped. They looked a little helpless when seeing the gangs fighting each other. In fact, it seemed as if they were trying to hold back laughter.

"Tsk tsk, one level breaks the second level, two hundred and fifty latent dragons, it sounds so impressive, but that's it?" The big man in the lead on the opposite side was laughing: "I am also at the second level, let him come out and show off, and see how extravagant he is!"

A younger brother nearby made fun of him: "The kind of internal fighting in the gang he did is definitely not a serious one. Maybe others will give in. What's the big deal about jumping the level? If a real fight breaks out, jumping the level by three moves? He's a fool! If he really fights to the death with outsiders, would he dare to do it with a mere level one?"

"Of course he doesn't dare. Didn't he see his men were hung up? He didn't even dare to fart. Hahahaha... He even imitated other people's card setting. It's so funny."

"Indeed, we don't need to set up checkpoints today." A loud voice suddenly came from the mountain. Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw a figure flashing in the air, a flash of a knife, and the rope hanging the bandits upside down broke with a whoosh. Several bandits fell to the ground and stood up in surprise: "Boss!"

"Zhao Changhe, you finally came out!" Someone pointed at Zhao Changhe and laughed, "You are such a idiot, do you dare to compete with our boss..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his voice and shut up.

He found that his boss's expression was extremely solemn, as dark as the bottom of a pot. How could he have the heroic spirit he had shown before when he asked Zhao Changhe to come out and show off

He subconsciously glanced at the rope that Zhao Changhe had just cut, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Did you see clearly the knife just now

What if you cut your own neck? Is your head still there

"It's annoying enough that I'm certified as an idiot. I didn't expect there are so many real idiots in the world who don't need to be certified." Zhao Changhe lazily picked his ears and flicked his fingers at the big man in the lead: "You're really brainless. Even if you beat me, you can still be on the list? You don't know what the Hidden Dragon List means. Can you go home and look it up in the dictionary? You believe everything others say, and then you make up your own imagination that others will give in when they attack, and you think you have found the truth of leapfrogging... What are you doing here? You might as well go to the forum."

The big man dodged quickly, but the earwax was still stuck on his face.

He flew into a rage, pointing his sword at the man: "Zhao Changhe! Do you really think there is no one in Mangshan? You are so arrogant!"

"Tsk. Even this level is unavoidable... If the heroes of Mangshan are only at this level, it's really disappointing." Zhao Changhe yawned: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm in a hurry to catch up on my sleep... You guys can come together."

"Bastard!" The big man was furious and slashed with his knife.

The eyes of the seemingly lazy Zhao Changhe suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, and the lazy look disappeared in an instant, and he moved as fast as a rabbit.

The onlookers only saw the flash of the knife appear again, and with a deafening "clang" sound, Zhao Changhe did not dodge or evade, but met the knife with pure strength!

At that moment, the bloody aura was surging, and the people around could even feel the murderous intent coming towards them. Even the flying snow around them seemed to become heavier, and Zhao Changhe's eyes were as red as blood, with unparalleled ferocity.

"Dang!" The big man's knife, which he had intended to chop with, was actually knocked wide open by the collision, and his hand became numb.

He was horrified and wanted to hide, but where could he hide

Zhao Changhe changed from chopping to slicing, and easily shaved off the top of his hair, just exposing his scalp, without a single miss.

The whole audience was silent.

Previously, it was said that it was within three moves... How about this time? One move? Or one and a half moves

The big man stood there with cold sweat dripping down his face, his eyes rolling upwards, wanting to see what was wrong with his head. Zhao Changhe swung his left hand and slapped him in the face: "With your weight, you dare to covet the list of troubled times! Guys!"

Wang Dashan beside him hurriedly said, "I'm here."

"Search all the valuables and weapons from these people and take them back for use. Hang all of them upside down here for a day and a night before we talk."

"One, one day and one night? In this heavy snow, someone could die..."

Zhao Changhe suddenly turned his head and stared into his eyes: "Do you know that his knife was aimed at my neck just now? If I lose to his knife, do you think I will die? Hanging for a day and leaving life to fate, you feel bad, right?"

Wang Dashan took a step back and dared not say a word.

Zhao Changhe strode towards the thickest tree on the side of the mountain path, cut off a piece of bark with a knife, and carved a line of words on it: "Zhao Changhe's sword meeting with the heroes of Beimang, 100 taels of silver for each challenge, the seat of the hidden dragon is here, waiting for you to take it."

After writing, he strode back to the mountain: "I have made some extra money today, and I have found a way to generate income. Let those two passers-by go. It is not a hero to bully the innocent."

Wang Dashan chased after him and asked, "Boss, you are still on the wanted list, are you trying to save your life?"

"Even people like this know where I am. How can I hide it from anyone? What's the point of hiding it? Just speak out! When the authorities come, I will have my reasons!"

"… Then you won't rob pedestrians anymore?"

"I don't care whether there is a law of nature or not, I will do it on my own!"

Wang Dashan and the others could not understand what he said, so they had no choice but to go and search for the person. The two young passers-by in cloth short jackets looked at Zhao Changhe's back as he strode back up the mountain with strange expressions. One of them whispered, "It's like a tiger roaring in the mountains, and all the beasts are silent. How could such a person be just a bandit or a low-level member of the Blood God Cult... Really..."

Another person also said: "It's only the first level of the Xuanguan, but this momentum is as strong as the ninth level of heaven."

"This thing called momentum has no necessary connection with cultivation. Hidden dragon, hidden dragon, hey, the book of chaotic times is not deceiving me."

"You too, aren't you? You brag, aren't you?"

"Hush, keep your voice down."

"Hey, you said that this move of his is better than the second level, will the Book of Chaos dodge again?"

"The book of chaotic times is not so boring. There will be no accumulation of achievements without qualitative changes... In fact, he won this time with one move, and secretly used his internal force. This is the real connection between the inside and the outside. The real strength comparison may not be comparable to the previous time. This man looks rough, but he is actually quite sinister. His internal force is hidden so well that I almost didn't see it."

"So... I understand." The last person touched his chin and said, "Okay, the show is over. I'm here to catch a wanted criminal. If you want to sympathize with him, then go to the city and find Yue Hongling. I'll catch him myself. I want to see what the government can do when it comes."

The first person shook his head: "I'm afraid that if you act alone, you will fall into his hands..."

The latter one widened his eyes in dissatisfaction: "How is it possible!"

"Since you are on the verge of breaking through the third level of the Xuanguan, why don't you stay in the city for two months and make a breakthrough first?"

"Oh... let him be arrogant for two months, he's quite interesting..."
