When the group of people arrived at the foot of the North Shicheng City, it was already dusk when the sun was setting over the Western Mountains.
Entering the city through the corridor, Zhang Xiaopeng was startled by the scene he saw. The houses he saw collapsed, and the walls were in ruins.
On the way here, Niu Dawa and the others mentioned a few words, saying that on the day when the rare treasure of Baihuang Mountain appeared, Yancheng was hit by an earth dragon, so Zhang Xiaopou was mentally prepared when he entered the city, but the miserable scene he saw was far away. Beyond his imagination.
The common people can only find the corners of the ruins that have not collapsed, build simple straw huts, and then live in them.
Zhang Xiaozu subconsciously wanted to ask, after a few days have passed, why not organize the people to rebuild their homes, but suddenly he thought that there is no water. Without water, there is no way to mix mud, and if you can’t mix mud, you can’t build walls, so the words stuck. Bian immediately shut up obediently.
The distance from the North Tenth City to the North Second City was too far. If we walked, we would probably have to walk until midnight, so after bidding farewell to Ruan Xinyuan and others, Wan Qiuqing sacrificed the wind domain and swept everyone up into the air to fly to the North Second City.
Looking down at Yancheng from the air, the scene of the disaster is even more depressing for everyone.
The situation in the Second City in the North was slightly better, because the houses of wealthy people were built more solidly, so the collapse was not that severe.
But the situation in Tingyaxuan was a bit miserable. All the courtyard walls and houses collapsed. Fortunately, there were many bamboos in Tingyaxuan. The four ladies, Mei, Lan, Zhuju, directed the servants to build a bamboo fence along the collapsed courtyard wall to temporarily replace the courtyard wall. , and built two rows of eight simple bamboo houses in the yard for everyone to live temporarily.
It was already dark when the group arrived at Tingyaxuan. They fell into the courtyard from the air and saw Butcher Zhang standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Wan Qiuqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Senior, why are you standing alone in the yard? Where are the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums? Why aren't you chatting with me?"
Butcher Zhang raised his hand and pointed at Xiaopeng Zhang, with a stern look on his face, and responded in a low tone: "I'm waiting for him."
"Senior, has something happened?" Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart when he saw Butcher Zhang's solemn and angry expression, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully.
Under the surprised gazes of several people, Butcher Zhang reached out and grabbed a sword from the void, then pointed the sword at Zhang Xiaopeng and ordered: "Boy, draw the sword, I will teach you a lesson."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa, and said: "You two should come together. I won't bully you. I will lower my cultivation to the fifth level of heaven to fight with you. You can use all your strength. If you have Feel free to use any ruthless moves."
"Senior, did these three boys do something wrong to make you unhappy? Just tell them and I will help you teach them a lesson. Don't be angry. It will hurt your health." Wan Qiuqing hurriedly consoled her. .
Butcher Zhang glared at her and snorted: "It's nothing to do with you, just stay here."
"——" Wan Qiuqing's heart skipped a beat when she was stared at by Butcher Zhang. She was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and quickly stepped aside without daring to speak any more.
Qi Yoyo saw this scene in her eyes and couldn't help showing a bit of suspicion. Her eyes wandered back and forth between Butcher Zhang and Wan Qiuqing. In the underground ancient city, she found that her mother seemed to have a crush on this old general Zhang. She was overly caring and respectful, almost to the point of never leaving her side. Wan Qiuqing's reaction just now further confirmed her feelings, and she couldn't help but speculate about the relationship between the two.
Zhang Xiaozu looked embarrassed. He didn't know what he had done wrong to anger the old man. He wanted to ask but heard the master's voice suddenly coming from far away.
I saw Taoist Tianwu holding a bamboo stool in his hand, followed by the four girls Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and Ju. As he walked this way, he said: "The old guy is dissatisfied that you have changed his sword skills beyond recognition, and he wants to learn your clever tricks. By the way, I will give you some tips on the three of you. This is a rare opportunity, so you must seize it."
After speaking, he walked to a position with a wide view, put down the bamboo stool in his hand, and ordered the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, to rub his shoulders and back, as if they were watching a good show.
"Senior, I——"
Zhang Xiaozhu's cheeks turned red and he wanted to apologize and explain to Butcher Zhang, but his words were blocked by the violent aura that suddenly erupted from Butcher Zhang.
"Let's talk after we finish typing anything." Butcher Zhang said in a calm voice, "Swords have no eyes. If I accidentally kill one or two of you, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want to blame me, you can only blame your own incompetence. .bring it on!"
Saying "Come on", his momentum increased again and enveloped the three of them, Zhang Xiaopeng. Their fighting spirit was so aroused by his violent momentum that they could no longer hold back.
"Senior, if we three strong men can beat you as an old man, you have to lower your cultivation level to the fifth level of heaven. I'm afraid you won't be able to fight this fight." Niu Dawa took a step forward and said.
"Why can't we fight?" Butcher Zhang asked.
"We are both at the sixth and seventh heaven realms. If we fight an old man at the fifth heaven realm like you, we will definitely be helpless and dare not make a heavy blow. You might as well mention two more realms, the seventh heaven realm. In this way, we can at least fight. You can have more fun by letting go of your hands and feet, and we will be convinced no matter we win or lose." Niu Dawa said, with arrogance in his words.
Butcher Zhang burst out laughing when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Ha, you three brats have underestimated me, but I think that the fifth level of heaven is more than enough to deal with you three half-hearted people."
"You are brave, junior, please give me some advice from senior." Seeing that Butcher Zhang had made up his mind, Zhang Xiaozhu stopped talking nonsense and took out the bone knife from the mustard seeds. In fact, he was a little dissatisfied, and he was eager to try, and wanted to see Butcher Zhang. See the power of his improved "Murder Knife".
Although the decades of living in the fantasy world have given him an aura of maturity and vicissitudes that is inconsistent with his age, what flows in his body is the youthful blood of a sixteen-year-old boy, and the blood of a young man is rippling. Unruly and arrogant.
Zhang Xiaopou held the knife in one hand, and his aura surged. When the aura reached its peak, his body suddenly floated towards Butcher Zhang. The speed was as fast as if he was teleporting through the domain of control space, and he instantly appeared in front of Butcher Zhang, with his hand in his hand. The knife had already slashed towards Butcher Zhang.
"Huh!" Butcher Zhang snorted coldly. Seeing Zhang Xiaopeng's pretentious look, he became angry and swung his knife across, attacking first and second.
when!
The two knives collided together, and the bone knife flew out of Zhang Xiaopou's hand.
Butcher Zhang's blade suddenly stopped against Zhang Xiaopeng's neck, and he sneered: "It's ridiculous to imitate someone else's own knife skills even if you can't hold the knife!"
The hair on Zhang Xiaozhu's body stood on end, because if it was a life-and-death fight, his head would have already moved.
As soon as they fought, his sword was knocked out of his hand, and he was ridiculed mercilessly by Butcher Zhang. His face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he was dying of shame and anger.
"Come again!" Zhang Xiaozu said in a low voice, feeling dissatisfied and thinking that he was careless, and then ran to pick up the bone knife in embarrassment.
Zhou Jianlai and others all opened their mouths in shock. They had thought that Zhang Xiaozu might not be Zhang Tufu's opponent, but they never expected that Zhang Xiaozu would be defeated as soon as they fought, and the defeat was so complete that his sword was knocked away. .
Zhang Xiaozu picked up the bone knife, and the power of the three colors swirled around his body. He held the knife with both hands and floated towards Butcher Zhang again. A ghost appeared behind Butcher Zhang, and slashed his head softly with the knife.
Butcher Zhang didn't even look back. He still raised his arm and swung the knife carelessly back. Once again, he struck first and blocked Zhang Xiaopeng's knife with a clang. The hard ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and the entire area of one foot was concave. It went down more than two feet, which showed how powerful Zhang Xiaopou's sword was. Although Zhang Xiaopou was not knocked away by the bone knife in his hand again, the jaws of his hands were cracked and blood flowed.
Zhang Xiaozu's body was shaken back, but before he could stabilize his body, he saw Butcher Zhang pressing down on him, his long knife tilted upwards, intending to disembowel him.
At the critical moment, Zhang Xiaozu twisted his body and floated to one side as softly as colored silk, trying to avoid Butcher Zhang's knife. However, as soon as he moved his body, he discovered to his horror that Butcher Zhang's knife had arrived first and was already on him. He was waiting for him to fall into a trap in the direction of his dodge, and he hurriedly waved his sword to block it.
when!
The bone knife flew out again.
Zhang butcher's blade was close to his chest and slashed all the way to his lower abdomen and navel, cutting open his clothes and leaving a bloody mark on his skin.
Zhang Xiaozu was so frightened that he felt his whole scalp lifted up.
If it were on the battlefield, this knife would definitely be a big disembowelment.
powerful!
too strong!
Being stared at by Butcher Zhang's indifferent gaze, Zhang Xiaozu felt the suffocating pressure and a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Come again!" Zhang Xiaozu took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of suffocation and powerlessness, and said unwillingly for the first time, and ran to find the bone knife again.
He couldn't understand why Zhang Butcher could use the "Murderous Knife" to exert such a powerful power when he only used the fifth level of cultivation.
He has been studying and comprehending in the illusion for decades, and he is so complacent. Is it just a joke?
This was unacceptable to him.
Ding-ding-ding-ding——
Zhang Xiaozu swung his knife up and fought with Butcher Zhang. This time, he held the handle of the knife especially tightly and secretly vowed not to let go even if his hand was broken. It had some effect, and he exchanged several moves with Butcher Zhang. The bone knife was still firmly in his hand.
"Have you ever learned to hold a knife?"
"Do you know how many basic movements a knife has?"
"It's just a show off based on a little talent and understanding."
"I might as well tell you that I have learned a few simple knife-holding postures for three years. I still dare not say that I have learned it or understand it. I have to review it every day for fear of forgetting."
Butcher Zhang forced Zhang Xiaopeng to retreat steadily with his swords. He asked and yelled loudly and loudly, making Zhang Xiaopou sweating coldly and feeling ashamed.
"What are you two still doing?"
"Are you waiting for me to carry you in my big sedan chair to fight with me?"
After scolding Zhang Xiaopeng, Zhang Butcher looked at Niu Dawa and Zhou Jianlai who were in a semi-sluggish state and shouted angrily.
"Senior, be careful!" Niu Dawa woke up from the shock, and his fighting spirit was immediately high. He yelled "be careful", raised his sword and rushed forward.
But the fate was the same as that of Zhang Xiaopou. As soon as they exchanged a hand with each other, the knife flew away from Butcher Zhang. Only then did Niu Dawa feel the terror of facing Butcher Zhang.
"Another idiot who doesn't know anything but still thinks he's right!" Zhang Butcher scolded mercilessly.
Niu Dawa stretched out his fingers to wipe the blood flowing from his throat, and his face turned green with fear. If Zhang butcher's knife was moved forward one inch, he would die.
"If you don't accept it, come again!" Niu Dawa shouted with a stick on his neck.
"Junior, be brave and learn from the seniors' clever tricks!" Zhou Jianlai held his sword in salute, and then stabbed Butcher Zhang with his sword.
Ding-dang-dang——
Zhang Butcher raised his long sword and clashed with Zhou Jianlai's sword. After repelling Zhou Jianlai, he gave a rare nod and said: "The basic skills are barely solid, but it is far from enough. Only in your hands can the Wei family sword be used to its full potential. Forty percent power."
When he first heard Zhang Tufu's praise, Zhou Jianlai couldn't help but feel smug, because he had been self-aware since he was a child and knew that his talent and understanding were insufficient and he needed to work hard to make up for his shortcomings. Therefore, he practiced extremely hard since he was a child, especially in basic skills. A lot of effort was put into it. But after hearing Butcher Zhang's last words, the little bit of pride in his heart was instantly shattered.
