In the Blade

The person who came was very strong.

The old man guarding the post station might not be very sensitive to such things, but the boy who was helping in the kitchen could clearly recognize this point - although this meant that he had to recall the extremely painful memories, this nightmare-like past still brought him some different effects after all.

For example, although he is still an ordinary person now, he can already distinguish what a strong man is.

The swordsman in front of him was definitely a strong man, just because the feeling he gave him was exactly the same as the two strong men who killed his parents. The other party was just standing there, and there was already a sharp meaning. Although the sword was still in the sheath, he could already smell the thick blood that was almost insoluble.

That sword must have killed many people.

This swordsman is much stronger than he looks!

"I'm going to die!"

The boy instinctively collapsed to the ground.

It was because he had seen with his own eyes how terrifying the strong were that he was even more afraid of it. Those strong men with terrifying strength could easily kill ordinary people like them. Facing those sharp blades and the evil spirit that was far more terrifying than the blades, ordinary people like him would not even have a chance to fight back.

So, can extraordinary people do it?

Thinking of this, the boy subconsciously turned his head to look at the little giant beside him.

"Huh? What are you looking at me for?"

The little giant who was washing the pot also turned his head.

"Why are you sitting on the ground? Get up quickly!"

"..."

The boy was speechless.

Silly, even stupid, this is the appearance of the little giant. Although he still remembers the majesty of the other party who killed the golden sword man with one finger last night, if he only looks at the other party's current appearance, everything is just a simple illusion.

No matter how you look at it, this little giant doesn't look like a strong man.

A strong man should be able to fly high and low, just like what he had seen before, the two strong men holding swords and knives were running around above the heads of the refugees, coming and going without a trace, and the eyes could not even see their figures, only the flying sword energy and knife light - yes, this is another key point of being strong, those sword energy and knife light are so fierce, they rolled the broken limbs and arms all over the ground, and he still remembers the scene like Shura hell.

Even if there is no sword energy and knife light, at least there should be his own weapons, right?

But there is no weapon on the little giant's body.

The strong men carry swords and knives and travel around the world, as light as a swallow and as swift as an eagle, and this little giant may only be considered to be larger in size - indeed, being large has its advantages, at least the man with the golden sword was killed by this fierce brute force, but now think about it... is that really a proof of strength?

Not necessarily. It might just be a coincidence. After all, the little giant also said that he had no intention of killing people at that time... Maybe he just pushed them. Even the man with the golden sword didn't think that this would be a sneak attack, so the man with the golden sword died on the spot without any defense.

But now...

The knight on horseback not far away has already drawn his sword.

Unlike the wild, arrogant man with the golden sword who didn't take them seriously before, the swordsman not far away looked serious.

He was a serious strong man, a strong man who had entered a state of alert. Facing a strong man who was on alert, sneak attacks were meaningless.

When the strong man drew his sword, the lives of these people were no longer in their own hands.

"This is... strong."

Looking at the swordsman's heroic figure holding a sword, the young man's eyes full of fear actually showed a few traces of envy.

It is hard for anyone not to envy him. After all, his impeccable posture is too strong. Just standing there, he is as unshakable as a mountain. In addition to his young appearance and the horse beside him... I am afraid no one would not want to live such a life.

At a young age, he can ride a horse and wield a sword to travel the world, and draw his sword to fight at the slightest disagreement. This is simply...

"Put your sword back quickly. What if you scare people like this?"

Just when the boy was wandering in the sky, the little giant spoke again.

"Don't take this thing out all the time. It's so scary. Look how scary it is."

"..."

Hearing the voice behind him, the boy subconsciously turned back to look at the little giant, and the expression on his face became more and more subtle.

Compared with the heroic swordsman, the little giant is even more unbearable to look at. Not only does he look silly, but even the words he says seem so stupid-the other party has already drawn his sword, shouldn't he be serious at this time? What do you mean by so scary? Is this something a normal person can say?

Even if the other party has already drawn his sword, will he retract it if you ask him to?

Thinking of this, the young man looked at the swordsman again.

The swordsman not far away really did not retract his sword, and even raised it up. Just looking at the domineering posture of holding the sword high, I am afraid that this post station may be completely razed to the ground by such a sword!

This is not an exaggeration, but a real thing.

It may be difficult to destroy a post station with just a sword, but what if it is combined with evil spirit?

He clearly remembered how horrible the destructive power of those seemingly illusory swords and shadows was.

That is something that flesh and blood cannot resist.

If ordinary people were fighting, perhaps being tall would be a huge advantage. Being taller and taller also means that the strength is far superior to ordinary people. Ordinary people might not be able to withstand the punches and kicks of these tall people - but once they start With the use of weapons, the difference in stature has begun to be gradually smoothed out. No matter how tall a person is, he will bleed profusely or even die on the street after being stabbed a few times.

And like now, if even the evil spirit has been used, it will be even more difficult for ordinary people to resist.

No matter how tall the little giant behind him was, he couldn't block the shocking sword that contained the majestic evil energy.

"So why do we have to fight?"

Facing the knight-errant with his sword raised high, the little giant even began to scratch his head.

"Wouldn't it be better to sit down and have something to eat? Or am I so bad at my craft that you want to hit me?"

"Zhuangzi, who saw the tiger, was it you who did it?"

The swordsman named Wang Tonggong raised his sword high and stared at the little giant not far away.

"There's no need to shake your head or deny it. I know you won't tell the truth, but it doesn't matter. I just think it must be you... Since it's you, then there's no problem. You are my chosen opponent. I just want to I’m going to have a fight with you.”

Although he said this, Wang Tonggong actually had no certainty in his heart. Zhuangzi, who originally stood on the edge of Sanshan Town, just disappeared out of thin air. Was this really the work of the little giant?

So what? So what if it’s not?

He didn't come here to do anything chivalrous and righteous, so He Jianhu was not someone worthy of his revenge. The reason why he came here was just to find a suitable opponent, someone worthy of his revenge. opponent.

And now, this little giant looks just right.

First of all, this little giant has a certain strength, at least his body is strong enough. Secondly, the other party's indifferent attitude makes him quite unhappy, so he is ready to show the other party a little bit of color. As for the last thing... even if he is outside Sanshan Town That Zhuangzi was leveled by this little giant, so what?

Just this kind of thing, couldn't he do it?

"Come on! Stop talking nonsense!"

Wang Tong raised his sword.

"Either come here and accept the challenge! Or I'll kill all three of you!"

"You mean...the three of us?"

The little giant finally frowned.

"Not to mention that I didn't recruit you or provoke you, the old man and the kid haven't spoken to each other yet, right? The three of us are innocent people, why do you want to kill us?"

"Why? Why do you need to ask why for this kind of thing?"

Wang Tonggong was stunned, almost amused.

He suddenly didn't know whether he should take action or not. After all, this little giant looked too stupid - for such a thing as killing someone, do we still need to ask why?

Well, maybe for ordinary people, it still needs to be asked, but after all, he is a strong man, a strong man wearing evil weapons, and a figure ranked 91st in the Hundred Weapons Library, although he himself is also I feel that this ranking is really too low for him - so if he is such a number one person, such a strong man, killing people, do we still need to ask why?

"I want to use you as a source of evil. Is this enough of a reason?"

Thinking of this, Wang Tonggong sneered.

Yes, this is the most common reason. The strong feel that the evil spirit is not enough, so they just kill a few people to supplement it. Anyway, they are not ordinary people. They can resist the backlash of the evil spirit. Not only can the resentment of the dead not affect No matter what they do, it will become a force in their hands.

It is not unusual for some famous strong men to kill hundreds of people at every turn. If he only kills a few people at a time, he can be called kind.

However, it was obvious that the little giant could not understand his kindness.

Instead of understanding his kindness, the little giant looked very angry. Facing him standing with a sword, he didn't even take a kitchen knife, but strode towards him with empty hands.

"You actually want to use us as evil spirits, are you still a human being?"

As he walked, the little giant cursed.

But the words still made people laugh.

What is the use of such insults? Call him not a human being? Are you kidding, of course he is a human being, and a living person, while the little giants in front of him, including the old man and the young man behind him, will soon become dead.

"……never mind."

Seeing that the little giant had stood up, Wang Tonggong thought for a while and decided to let the old and the young in the station go.

After all, he is still a kind person, otherwise he would not come to Sanshan Town to buy people's lives with money - after all, there are still a lot of refugees these days. If he really wants to replenish his evil spirit, he might as well just be like those bandits and do whatever he wants. Wouldn't it be better to find a group of refugees and kill them all? Anyway, as long as he kills everyone, no one will know who did it, and he will still be the dashing swordsman.

Compared with that kind of indiscriminate killing of innocent people, he is still more willing to engage in this kind of serious duel.

Just like now, since the little giant has stood up, it means...

"Come!"

Wang Tonggong roared, swung his sword and struck at him.

Yes, this is what he wants, a serious battle, a fight with the right opponent - although the opponent may be a little weaker than him, it can be regarded as evenly matched, and the passion in the battle is so exciting. , even the big sword in his hand is with it...

"Hmm?"

The sword with a strong murderous aura swung in vain.

Wang Tonggong subconsciously raised his head. The little giant was still in front of him. He didn't even move. He just stood in front of him. So he immediately looked down at his hands. He saw that the hands that should have held the sword were empty.

"When..."

Wang Tonggong raised his head again in a hurry, but found that the sword that had accompanied him for a long time was actually held in the hands of the little giant.

The little giant held the blade with one hand, as if the sharp sword was just an unsharpened iron rod.

"The equipment is good. It cost a lot of money, right?"

While touching the broad sword, the little giant even commented.

"There are too many hidden wounds on the edge of the blade. You usually use sword techniques that are more inclined to chop? Then you should use a knife. When using a sword, you still have to... Oh, the tip of the sword is also worn out. You are actually good at slashing and stabbing? When others think you can only chop, you directly use more fierce stabbing to solve the battle?"

"..."

Wang Tonggong began to sweat.

He said it out, all of it. Although he didn't know why this little giant knew his moves so well, what the other party said was not wrong at all.

Those techniques were indeed often used before he became the evil spirit release. Even after he became the evil spirit release, he would habitually use the old sword to trick people - but those opponents who were tricked by him should have died. Why did this little giant...

"I won't return the sword to you, and you don't leave yet."

After saying this, the little giant lowered his head.

"Your thinking is very problematic. You need to recognize your mistakes through labor. Do you understand?"

"I..."

Wang Tonggong sweated profusely.

In the inn far away, the old man and the young man could only see that the swordsman raised his sword and kept it raised until the little giant took it away. After that, the two seemed to say something.

Then, the swordsman knelt on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

"This..."

The old man and the young man looked at each other and didn't understand what happened for a while.

Is this... really a strong man?

Could it be that this swordsman is just a show-off?

Maybe he is really a show-off, the two of them thought so.

Otherwise, why would he stand there stupidly until his sword was taken away?
