Chapter 342: The Enemy Comes

Chapter 342 - The Enemy Comes

The wind stopped and the rain stopped.

In the night, the entire village was quiet.

After eating a meal of cooked food and drinking hot soup, the elders in the village all went to bed.

Auntie Wu pushed Liu Ping out of the kitchen and said loudly,

"You beat up the bandits and cooked a meal for everyone. Aren't you tired enough? Leave these to Auntie Wu, you go and accompany your friends. "

"Then I'll have to trouble Auntie Wu."

Liu Ping smiled and sat down in front of the fire.

The fire shone on Xu Sheng's body, elongating his shadow into the darkness.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Ping asked.

"If I was a little more capable back then, I wouldn't have been hidden in the haystack by my master and watched him get killed by the evil sect" Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping casually made a fist stance and his hand movements kept changing until he reached the fifteenth move.

"You learned the fourteenth move back then?" He asked.

"Yes" Xu Sheng said.

"How old were you back then?"

"Sixteen."

Liu Ping nodded and said, "The fifteenth move of the Blood-surging Fist is a hurdle. Your master must have been afraid that you were still young and didn't have enough Qi and blood. Practicing it by force would hurt your body, so he didn't teach it to you."

"Now that you're thirty years old and have practiced martial arts, you can practice this move."

Xu Sheng stood up and made a fist stance, "I still don't believe that this fist technique is used to strengthen the body."

"It's a good thing to strengthen the body. It will help you build a solid foundation. There's nothing bad about it" Liu Ping said.

"Then why did you create another fist technique?"

"That's a killing technique. The purpose is different, so the fist technique is naturally different."

Liu Ping also stood up, took a step forward, and quickly struck three times in a row.

Blood rushed to his face, only to hear the sound of bones around him, all the way to his four limbs.

Xu Sheng was moved.

"Bones and tendons at the same time. This is the beginner level of body refinement. You're not even sixteen years old!"

Liu Ping moved his body and realized that his strength had increased by thirty percent. Other than that, there were some indescribable changes.

He couldn't help but say, "This is nothing. Don't be so surprised, continue practicing with me."

"Yes!"

He imitated Liu Ping's posture and punched out.

"Among the experts you've seen, what's the strongest one?" Liu Ping asked as he looked.

Xu Sheng said, "Breaking through the air with a hundred steps, breaking a tree with one fist."

Liu Ping sighed.

Xu Sheng said, "When the tree burns, the mountain behind the tree collapses."

Liu Ping closed his eyes and thought for a while, recalling the feeling when he punched just now.

Every time he punched, a blazing stream of air would follow his fist, as if it would explode at any moment.

Elemental attachment.

Was this the so-called Inferno Shelter?

If that's the case, maybe I can do what Xu Sheng said in the future.

It seemed that he had to find a way to come into contact with systematic martial arts knowledge.

"... Other than the Blood Surge Fist Technique, do you know anything else?" Liu Ping asked.

Xu Sheng said shamefully, "I only relied on half of the Blood-surge Fist from my sect to survive in this chaotic world. I barely managed to survive. An expert has never taught me any other methods."

"Even half a set of fist techniques can survive?" Liu Ping asked.

"In these chaotic times, inheritances are hard to come by. There are even quite a few martial dao inheritances that have long been obliterated, their inheritances broken, just like my sect." Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

The sound of horse hooves came from outside the village.

Auntie Wu ran out of the kitchen in a panic, carrying a metal basin and wanting to hit it.

Liu Ping waved his hand and said, "The elders are already asleep, don't wake them up. I will go with Xu Sheng to take a look at the situation."

Auntie Wu trembled and said, "It's bandits! They must be bandits. Otherwise, why would they come to our village so late at night? "

Liu Ping gave Xu Sheng a look.

The two of them walked to the door of the village one after another and looked out through the gap.

They saw dozens of people riding horses slowly coming down from the opposite hill, approaching the village.

"Are they the bandits that you joined?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, but it's a little strange ... They are not usually so quiet." Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping looked carefully and saw that the bandits were dressed in ragged clothes, waving the weapons in their hands. However, their expressions were dull, as if they were in a dream.

Something was wrong.

"Wait, the leader seems to have changed. The original leader is helping out. Look!" Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping opened the door of the village and walked out. Without turning back, he said, "Xu Sheng, guard the village well. If anyone attacks the villagers, you have to take action."

"Yes." Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping walked towards the bandits and stood under a big pine tree.

The bandits slowed down and rode their horses in a row. They stopped in front of Liu Ping and reined in their horses.

The leader wore a bamboo hat and said blankly, "Do the people in your village want to join the cult? There are many benefits to joining the cult. You will not be infected by the plague and will not be killed. The brothers in the cult will do their best to protect you. When you die, the gods will come and save you. "

"No." Liu Ping said.

"Can you represent everyone?" the man asked.

"Yes."Liu Ping's answer was firm.

The man nodded and said to the people behind him, "Kill him."

More than ten people rushed forward on their horses, only to see Liu Ping hiding behind the tree.

"He is behind the tree!"

"Surround him."

"Don't let him escape!"

In the darkness, they shouted and waved their weapons. They urged their horses to surround the tree.

Suddenly ...

A wave of raging flames suddenly erupted, startling the horses and sending the bandits flying with a loud neigh.

A few people managed to calm their horses and went behind the tree.

However, a hand reached out from the dense leaves on the tree and quickly slapped the bandits' heads.

A series of crisp sounds.

The bandits' heads were like watermelons that were smashed. Their bodies fell to the ground.

Liu Ping jumped down from the tree and stopped. "Killing people when you can't sell. This is why I hate evil cults."

He walked towards the bandits step by step. The tree behind him was burning. The branches kept making crackling sounds, like a torch in the dark night.

The bandits scattered.

Someone shouted in panic, "Elemental Fist Technique! He has awakened an Elemental Fist Technique! "

Pu

A short sword pierced through the man's heart.

"Calm down."

The leader of the bandits said in a low voice.

The bandits were silent. They gathered their horses and returned to the leader's side.

The leader rode forward and stared at Liu Ping. "You used fire."

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"Those who ignite fire will die." The leader said.

"Who made this rule?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is God's will."

"You heard it? Are you familiar with it? "

Liu Ping loosened his fist. The hot air around him immediately disappeared.

Seeing this, the leader said, "You have another path to take now."

"Speak." Liu Ping said.

"Join our cult and become an Extermination Emissary. You can live forever and enjoy eternal blessings." The leader said.

"Are you an Extermination Emissary?" Liu Ping asked with interest.

"Of course." The leader said.

"I want to see if you can live forever." Liu Ping said.

The leader pulled out the sword at his waist and said, "Ignorant."

He urged his horse forward and raised his sword to face Liu Ping.

The long sword suddenly emitted a boundless white light as it fiercely pierced downwards.

In the blink of an eye.

Liu Ping dodged the sword and got on his horse. He grabbed the other party's sword hand and slashed it upwards.

A human head flew out diagonally and rolled on the ground.

Dodging the sword, turning around, getting on the horse, grabbing the hand, slashing the neck.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, as if both parties already had a tacit understanding and worked together.

Liu Ping pushed the headless corpse off the horse and sighed.

"Is this what it means to live forever and enjoy eternal blessings?"

The surroundings were silent.

Even though the leader of the bandits seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve, but in terms of fighting skills, he didn't even have a chance to use 10% of it in front of Liu Ping.

The bandits exchanged glances.

"Run!"

Suddenly, someone yelled.

The bandits urged their horses and ran, disappearing into the forest in just a few breaths.

A round of applause sounded.

Two men in standard leather armor came out from behind a large tree.

"Heroes come from the young, the ancients didn't lie to me."

One of them praised.

"Who are you?" Liu Ping asked.

The man in the standard leather armor threw a badge over.

Liu Ping caught it and saw the word "Patrol" carved on the badge.

"We are the city's patrol officers. We heard about the evil cult and came to investigate in secret" one of them said.

"Young man, you're quite skilled, why don't you come back to the city with us and get a job?" the other person asked.

Liu Ping thought for a bit and asked: "Can I learn martial arts when I'm on duty?"

The two of them laughed.

One of them said: "Of course, all 18 types of martial arts are taught by professionals. Otherwise, how can we catch evil people?"

"Alright, I'll go with you." Liu Ping said.
