Chapter 41 In the Dense Forest
The quality is worrisome!
Hidden behind a big tree, Li Yuan shook his head inwardly as he listened to the panic and noise in the dense forest.
Practicing martial arts or not has little to do with psychological quality.
Nothing happened, but he suddenly heard the screams of the same kind. Even he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
However, his mental age is older than other apprentices, and he has calmed down by now.
"With Nian Jiu's method, these gang apprentices have time to send out signals. It seems that he was seriously injured. Maybe..."
Li Yuan started to think carefully.
It wasn't because he was greedy for the reward offered by the court, but because he never died that year, he still felt a little uneasy.
"Don't be hasty, be careful..."
After calming down, Li Yuan raised his hammer and moved between the big trees, bending over and scanning the surroundings.
Soon, he found a corpse. The death was miserable, and the skull was flying out.
Even though he had dealt with corpses a lot in his previous life, Li Yuan still felt a little uncomfortable, mainly because this death was too miserable.
rustle~
Suddenly, Li Yuan leaned down and saw a member of the Sanhe Gang rushing over and groping for the dead body.
"..."
Li Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly leaned down.
boom!
Just when the gang raised their heads, they suddenly felt a strong gust of wind behind them. Before they could even turn around, they were knocked to the ground. Those who touched the body were brutally touched by others.
"Is this the knife-catcher next to the fake Taoist priest?"
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the man who sneaked up on the Sanhe Gang from behind was the rude man who wanted to 'bleed' him before.
"I don't have much ability, but I have a lot of money!"
The reckless man weighed the collected silver and was about to stand up when he suddenly heard the roar of the wind behind him. Without thinking, he protected his head with both hands and jumped forward, reacting very quickly.
After missing a hit, Li Yuan's feet took root, twisting and turning, his blood and energy surging, and striking the iron was like stacking up the force of a hammer.
A 'bang' sound knocked the big man to the ground.
boom!
The big man was beaten and fell to the ground. The arms holding his head were folded. Before he could scream, he felt that his hands and waist were empty, and his head was stepped into the mud.
When he raised his head again, his face was full of shock, anger and frustration:
"grass!"
So exciting!
As soon as he succeeded, the vengeful Mr. Li Daoye ran away quickly, and the spirit ape seemed to run behind a big tree, with his heart pounding and his face turning red.
"The adrenaline is pumping! This is much more exciting than hitting that Qian Bao. Fortunately, I am very good at hammering. If I hadn't stopped the force of the hammer, I might have killed him in one go!"
Li Yuan calmed down his breathing and weighed the silver in his hand. I'm afraid it was more than twenty taels, two years' monthly payment for an apprentice in the inner courtyard, and he got it all at once!
"Isn't this much faster than blacksmithing?"
The little boy got his revenge and got some money again. He glanced at the helpless and furious man in the distance but didn't dare to make a sound. Li Yuan felt very happy in his heart.
After giving it a try, he gradually lost his anxiety.
The wild man's blood was thicker than Yue Yunjin's, and he was probably about to break through his inner strength.
But as soon as Li Yuan took action, he even activated the accelerator. With the blessing of the Great Craftsman's Hammer and Sickle, he was sure to defeat him head-on.
It would be unreasonable if the sneak attack failed.
"Well, you can't be careless. But, if you dare to act alone with this kind of skill, there is no reason why I wouldn't dare!"
Stuffing the silver into his arms, Li Yuan tightened his grip on the hammer and looked warily at the dense forest that seemed to have calmed down.
After measuring his current skills, he became more courageous.
Where is Nianjiu?
…
…
"puff!"
In a hidden tree hole, Nian Jiu coughed up blood and looked hideous.
After several attacks and a run, all the old and new injuries on his body broke out, and he was almost on the verge of passing out again.
Reason told him that he should leave immediately, but he was unwilling to do so.
"Unwilling..."
Gritting his teeth, Nian Jiu forced himself to raise his spirits and try to stabilize the injury. Suddenly, dogs barked from outside the tree hole, and someone sneered:
"Search! Nianjiu is nearby!"
Damn it!
Nian Jiu was frightened and angry, almost going crazy with frustration.
If there were no injuries on his body, he could kill all of these people with one hand, but now...
"Anyone who wants to kill me must die!"
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Nian Jiu's one eye turned red, and the remaining strength in his body tightened.
call!
He jumped out, swinging one arm like a whip, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
boom!
A figure fell heavily to the ground, blood and dead leaves flying.
"Qianjun Cave's horizontal training is really amazing. After suffering such a serious injury, he still has the energy to struggle?"
came a hoarse voice.
Nian Jiu stood on the ground with one arm and looked fiercely at the masked man in gray in front of him, his heart completely sank:
"Strong inside?!"
"It's a pity that although Heng Lian is good, he is a waste! If I hadn't covered it up for you, Qiu Long would have killed you long ago!"
The man in gray sneered.
"Did you lure Qiu Long and others away before?"
Nianjiu struggled to stand up, his eyes still very fierce: "We are covered, do we know each other? Or are you from Gaoliu County?"
"You don't have to worry about who I am. You just need to know that I helped you, and you will have to pay it back in the future!"
The man in gray raised his hand and threw a bottle of elixir:
"Take the medicine and leave. I will take care of the pursuing soldiers and Qiu Long for you!"
"Deal with Qiu Long? Who are you? How do you want me to repay you?"
Nianjiu took the medicine but was still wary.
But the gray-clothed man just waved his hand, leaving a sentence "I will find you someday", and disappeared into the dense forest after a few ups and downs.
"There are many internal strength warriors in Gaoliu County, but there seem to be only two internal strong ones. Is this person Cao Yan? Or an outsider ghostwriter?"
Nian Jiu leaned against a big tree and smelled the porcelain bottle. The ferocity on his face eased a little:
"Superior Yuan-replenishing Pill?"
After swallowing one casually, Nian Jiu's face instantly became much rosier, but he did not regulate his breath, and did not even escape according to the road pointed by the gray-clothed man.
Instead, he turned around and rushed towards the place where the voice came from.
Anyone who dares to chase me must die!
...
"My blood and qi are not flowing through the spring, and I am still a long way from the great success, but with the blessing of the hammer and sickle of the master craftsman, several ghostwriters with great blood and qi are not my opponents!"
Shutting through the dense forest, Li Yuan was no longer nervous and flustered at the beginning.
The first scream caused the entire dense forest to panic. The gangs, apprentices, disciples, and ghostwriters of each family all started to move.
Some were fleeing, some were searching for Nian Jiu, but there were also those who took advantage of the situation and targeted the apprentices and disciples of each family.
Along the way, Li Yuan encountered four or five such ghostwriters.
He was not polite. He would break their hands and feet at the least, and beat them until they vomited blood and fainted at the worst. The silver in his hand suddenly piled up to more than fifty taels, enough to pay off Fatty Sun's debt.
He also gradually became familiar with the rhythm of the battle, and had a different understanding of the inner three combinations and even the six combinations.
"No wonder they say that fighting bloody battles is worth ten years of hard work. I have only sneaked up on them a few times and have not fought head-on, but my fighting style has improved a lot!"
Suddenly, hearing screams in the distance, Li Yuan turned his feet and rushed into the grass beside the road.
"He, he is here!"
A shrill scream sounded from a distance, and soon, Li Yuan heard footsteps.
He looked up and saw that the fake Taoist Zhang Yuanfang coughed up blood and flew backwards, and actually hit a big tree. The dead branches and rotten leaves flew everywhere, and he was no longer alive.
"Internal strength!"
Li Yuan's heart trembled.
Under the flying leaves, there was a beggar with one arm and one eye, messy hair covering his face, covered with blood, and staggering steps.
"Nian Jiu? He is so badly injured and still so fierce?"
Even though this man did not resemble the portrait on the wanted poster at all, Li Yuan still thought of this name in his mind and immediately crouched down.
'This man is probably a lunatic. He is so badly injured, but he didn't run away and wanted to kill people! '
Li Yuan was a little frightened.
"Ghost knife! Puff..."
Reaching out to pull out the dagger stuck in his chest, Nian Jiu spat out a mouthful of black blood, slowly raised his head, and under his messy hair, his one eye scanned the surroundings, and limped towards the place where the voice came from.
"What kind of horizontal training is that?!"
In the bushes, Li Yuan was shocked.
He saw clearly that after Nian Jiu pulled out the dagger, the flesh in the wound closed up immediately, without even a drop of blood flowing out!
"Oh? There is another little mouse from the forging shop here..."
The moment the cold and bloodthirsty voice reached his ears, Li Yuan's scalp exploded.
Bang!
Almost without thinking, he jumped up like a spirit ape, twisting his body and swinging his arms at the same time, and the long-handled heavy hammer weighing more than 30 kilograms almost danced out an afterimage:
White ape hammering!
