The Golden Wind was somewhat quiet these days. Nangong Xier was asleep most of the time. When she woke up occasionally, she would simply eat some food and drink some medicine. However, the doctor in the Medicine King Pavilion said that Nangong Xier was getting healthier day by day, and her sleepiness was just due to the medicine. Su Baiyi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was finally put down. However, when he visited his senior sister in the Medicine King Pavilion these days, the atmosphere was always a little awkward...
It’s all my fault for leaving my words half-said that day... Su Baiyi felt a little annoyed.
"You're still too young." Mu Nianhua smiled happily as he looked at Su Baiyi's sad face.
"Mr. Mu, do you think Senior Sister is so sleepy just because of the medicine she is taking?" Su Baiyi changed the subject.
Mu Nianhua thought for a moment and said, "Drinking the medicine may have some reasons, but I think it is most likely because of the few strands of true energy."
"They are merging with Senior Sister's body." Su Baiyi expressed his guess.
Mu Nianhua nodded and agreed with Su Baiyi's suggestion, but after hesitating for a moment, he said, "But our Mu family has never encountered such a thing. I think you may need to seek help from the Confucian sage in your academy. It is said that the Confucian sage is well-versed in ancient and modern times and has a thorough understanding of everything."
"Mr. Confucian Saint..." Su Baiyi touched his chin, and then his eyes lit up, "Mr. Mu, help me pass on a message."
Mu Nianhua smiled and said, "Okay."
Castlevania.
The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced brothers were sitting on the city wall drinking. They were ranked the last among the Nine Evils of Demon City and had been responsible for guarding the city gate for many years. It seemed like a tough job, but it was actually very leisurely. Because few people dared to risk their lives to disturb Demon City, especially after the major factions of the Dragon Alliance besieged Demon City and returned in defeat, Demon City became even more famous in the world. So the two brothers sat on the city wall every day, drinking and eating meat, and when they were drunk, they would practice martial arts.
But today, there was some movement outside Demon Castle.
A man with a long sword on his back was riding a pure black horse and rushing towards the gate of Demon Castle.
Demon City does not refuse everyone's visit. Generally, those who want to visit Demon City will write a letter five days in advance, and it will be reviewed by the Demon City's chief villain, the murderer Xiaosheng. If he agrees, then the Bull-Headed Horse-Face will wait here early. If he disagrees, then the Bull-Headed Horse-Face will sharpen the knife in advance. This rule is known to everyone in the world, but there are only two types of people who do not follow this rule. One is powerful enough to ignore this rule, such as the Bull-Headed Horse-Face guarding the city gate for a day without seeing a shadow, and the Confucian sage from Shili Langyao in the city has already drunk three jars of wine with the city lord Mo Wen. Another type is people who come to challenge Demon City specifically, such as the siege battle, Xiaosheng naturally did not receive the letter.
However, the person who came today does not belong to either of these two categories.
He was neither powerful enough to ignore Castlevania's iron-clad defenses, nor did he have any hostility towards Castlevania; he just felt it was troublesome.
It is too troublesome to revise the book, and it is too troublesome to wait for five days.
Now that I'm here, can you still chase me away
"Gee!" The man whipped his horsewhip vigorously.
"Are you going or should I go?" Niutou yawned.
"Naturally, my younger brother will go first. Be ready, brother. Drink slowly and leave one for me." The Horse-Faced Guard picked up the chain knife in his hand and walked down.
The city gate slowly opened, and the Horse-Faced Guard rode out and ran towards the man who broke into the city: "Where did you come from? Do you know where my Demon City is?"
"Of course I know." The man smiled, pulled out the knife from his back, and slashed at the horse-faced man.
The horse-faced warrior sneered and immediately swung out the chain knife in his hand, instantly entangled the man's long sword, and then he pulled violently, trying to pull the man off the horse. But the man who broke into the city pulled backhandedly, and it was obvious that he was much stronger than the horse-faced warrior, and directly pulled the horse-faced warrior up, and then swung the long sword and threw the horse-faced warrior three feet away.
"Huh?" Niu-Head, who was watching the battle on the city wall, was shocked. Judging from the situation, the newcomer had strong martial arts skills and it seemed that Horse-Faced Man would be difficult to deal with alone, so he immediately picked up his chain knife.
The Horse-Faced Guard swung the chain knife in his hand and looked at the man in front of him warily. He saw that the man was burly and had his hood pulled down very low. He couldn't see his face clearly, but from his voice, he should be a young man. The Horse-Faced Guard said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What brings you to my Demon City?"
The man smiled and said, "I'm here to see City Lord Mo Wen."
"Can you see City Lord Mowen whenever you want?" Horse-Faced Man said in a low voice, "You haven't answered my first question yet. Who are you?"
"Does it matter who I am? One day, I hope that when people see me, they won't ask me who I am, because when they see my knife, they will know who I am." The man said proudly.
"Where did this fool come from?" said the Horse-Faced Guard with a frown.
As he was talking, a chain knife appeared behind the man. Niutou had quietly approached him while the two were talking. He was 90% sure of hitting him! But the man seemed to have noticed it long ago. He dodged Niutou's chain knife with a roll, and then fell to the ground with a sideways movement.
"Bull-Head, Horse-Faced, two brothers, please don't hold back." The man flipped the long sword in his hand.
The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Brothers looked at each other, then took a step forward at the same time, swinging the chain knives in their hands from two directions, trapping the man in the middle. The martial arts of the two brothers were not very advanced, but they had practiced the Dual Ghost Chain Knife Technique for many years, and the power of this combined attack should not be underestimated.
"Turn." The Bull Head shouted loudly.
The two of them changed their pace at the same time.
"Together!" Niutou shouted again.
The two chain knives were spinning wildly, and finally tightened at the same time at a certain moment, wrapping directly around the man. The man smiled and said, "Good timing!"
Then there was a flash of knife.
The two chain knives were cut into two halves in an instant. The two daggers broke free from the control of the chains, spun in the air, and fell to the ground.
Ox-Head and Horse-Faced were startled and could only retreat quickly.
The man brandished a knife and tried to chase.
But he was forced back three steps by a sword energy.
The man's hood was also shattered by the sword energy, revealing his face.
"Lord Feng Zuo!" Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monster exclaimed.
Feng Zuojun smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. How is my swordsmanship now?"
A scholar who was sitting cross-legged three steps away from Feng Zuojun reading a book did not even raise his head, but just quietly turned the pages of the book in his hand: "It's okay."
Feng Zuojun put the big knife on his shoulder and raised his eyebrows: "Is it okay to just say one sentence?"
Xiao Sheng closed the book and said, "In my opinion, all swordsmanship in the world, except for the city lord's swordsmanship, can only be described as passable."
Feng Zuojun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I felt the same way, so I came."
