Seeing this, the big man with the beard burst into laughter, and the bandits behind him also smiled sarcastically.
"Master? Did Cheng'er make you unhappy?" Lin Cheng took the branch and murmured.
"Is it true that only swords can kill people?" Wangyouxian asked.
"Then you can't use branches," Lin Cheng said with a grimace.
The bandits looked on with a sneer. In their eyes, these two people were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"If you want to kill, you can kill with a look or a word. If you don't want to kill, the sword is useless." Wangyouxian waved his hand and said.
"But...but I don't know kung fu." Lin Cheng lowered his head and dragged the branch towards the bandit.
"You can take off the weight." Wangyouxian's voice sounded from behind.
When Lin Cheng heard this, he felt happy. He could finally take off the heavy-duty clothing he had worn for two years.
Under the stunned gaze of a group of bandits, Lin Cheng unbuttoned his clothes, and then took off his close-fitting clothes in front of them.
The seemingly flimsy clothes were thrown to the ground by him, making a loud noise and throwing up a cloud of dust.
Lin Cheng put on his clothes again, moved his brisk body, and smiled.
"How you usually water the flowers, you can deal with them now." Wangyouxian nodded and said.
Lin Cheng nodded and looked at the bandits. His gaze shocked the bearded man.
"Boy, I advise you to be obedient and hand over your money, and I will let you live." The bearded man shouted loudly.
"No need, I'm here to help you forget your worries." Lin Cheng shook his head and said.
"How brave, then you will die." The bearded man shouted angrily, and the big ring knife in his hand clattered.
Lin Cheng adjusted his breathing as he approached. To be honest, he was extremely nervous now, and his calves were slightly cramped.
The bearded man waved his hand, and a group of bandits rushed over, raising their weapons above their heads and shouting.
Lin Cheng took a deep breath and pulled out the branch in his hand.
The big man with the beard sneered and slashed at Lin Cheng with the nine-ring sword without dodging.
Lin Cheng quickly dodged, as if dodging the splash thrown by himself.
In an instant, Lin Cheng understood that when Wangyouxian asked him to water the flowers, he was actually asking him to practice his sword and body skills.
The big man with the beard was stunned. He had never imagined how the half-grown child could dodge his sword.
A fluke?
He raised his sword again, and this time it slashed horizontally.
Lin Cheng jumped up directly. Two years of weight-bearing training allowed him to jump directly over the big man's head, and hit the big man's head directly with the branch in his hand.
This force shocked the big man's head, and his legs went weak and he unconsciously took two steps back.
Lin Cheng felt relieved when he saw this, it turned out that he had become a master without knowing it.
"Good boy, come on, everyone, chop them to death." The bearded man covered his head and said viciously.
A group of younger brothers responded hurriedly, and the guys in their hands slashed at Lin Cheng overwhelmingly.
Lin Cheng took his time, stepped forward, and dodged the attack calmly, flicking branches, wrists, or eyes in his hands.
All the bandits who were drawn screamed in agony.
Lin Cheng became more and more skilled, and the force of pulling out the branch in his hand became stronger and stronger, and soon the group of bandits fell to the ground and rolled.
Only the bearded man was still standing there. His eye had been slapped just now, and now it hurt so much that he burst into tears.
"You...don't come here..." The bearded man held up his knife and gestured wildly.
Lin Cheng swung the branch and struck it again. By chance, he was struck by the nine-ring sword, and the branch broke.
"Remember from now on, there are strong and weak weapons, hard and soft.
Some require hard attack, while others require the coordination of body and technique.
You were a little rash just now, and now your weapon is broken. What should you do? "
"I don't know..." Lin Cheng said in a low voice while looking at the bearded man who was still making random gestures.
"Then how can you kill him now?" Wangyouxian asked again in a different way.
"I have no idea……"
Wangyouxian nodded and came to Lin Cheng's side.
He smiled as he looked at the young man who was from waist height to his chest.
"Actually, real masters have already separated themselves from the category of ordinary people. The old man who came here this morning is considered a big ant."
"Just be optimistic..."
As soon as Wangyouxian finished speaking, he stretched out his right index finger and pointed it at the panicked bearded man.
"No... no, grandpas, we were wrong. We have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home. Please spare me, spare me..."
The bearded man threw down the nine-ring sword in his hand and knelt down on the ground, begging. He was scared and felt a threat of death.
Wangyouxian ignored it and continued to explain to Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng looked at Wangyouxian's fingertips and saw a transparent energy slowly appearing on the tip of his index finger.
The energy kept swaying, and even the space was distorted.
"This is Qi, a kind of energy between heaven and earth. The highest level of martial arts is to condense the inner power and release Qi."
"Qi has many functions, and killing people with Qi is only one of them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Cheng saw the energy burst out and directly penetrated into the eyebrows of the bearded man.
The big man with the beard groaned and fell to the ground dead.
Lin Cheng stared at this scene dumbfounded. For a moment he seemed to understand something, but at the same time he seemed not to understand at all.
"Martial arts relies on diligent study and practice, while Qi requires understanding."
"The road ahead will be long. We are all on the road. I just set off before you. If you are smarter, you can easily catch up with me."
Lin Cheng nodded as if he understood. How could a nine-year-old child understand the great road of heaven and earth? What Wangyou did was just pave the way for him.
"Okay, you take care of the rest. Sometimes people need to be cruel. At least for evil people, you are more evil than them."
Lin Cheng nodded, picked up the nine-ring knife of the bearded man on the ground, and walked towards the others. No matter how they cried and begged for mercy, Lin Cheng remained expressionless.
………
"Were you scared just now?" Wangyou was still walking ahead with his hands behind his back.
"Don't be afraid!" Lin Cheng replied decisively.
"Why?"
"Two years ago, I saw bloodier and more terrifying scenes..."
"Yeah, I forgot you were a child who escaped death."
After crossing the second mountain, the master and the apprentice went up the official road. After walking not far, they saw a tea stall.
"Let's have something to eat." Wangyou stepped into the pergola.
Lin Cheng followed obediently.
"Do you want tea or wine?" A middle-aged man asked with a linen cloth to clean the table and stools for the master and apprentice.
"A pot of herbal tea, a pot of fruit wine, and a plate of snacks." Wangyou sat down and said softly.
"Okay, just wait a moment, we'll be here soon." The middle-aged man turned around and went to get ready.
The pergola is not big, with four or five tables.
"I heard that the King of Luozhou has raised an army and seems to be taking action against Liangzhou."
"Hey, I heard that Luozhou has just changed its weather just two years ago, and there will be a war so soon."
Inside the pergola, two people at another table were talking quietly.
When these words reached Lin Cheng's ears, his breathing quickened and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Remember, anger is a sign of incompetence. You have to forget your hatred for the time being." Wangyou said with a smile.
"I understand, master." Lin Cheng slowly loosened his clenched fists that turned white.
"Until you are truly strong, hatred will only make you stagnant."
"Shouldn't hatred motivate me to work harder?"
"Hahaha... It's okay to inspire you to become a master of martial arts, but it will make you have distracting thoughts and it will be difficult to realize Qi in the future."
"Thank you, master, I know
Got it. "
