Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 68 The Knife
The sky was dim and thick dark clouds were gathering together.

Accompanied by the roaring thunder, a rare heavy rain finally fell in the hot and dry summer.

Whoa!
Shengtian, Chiming Street.

A carriage hurriedly drove against the heavy rain. The rolling wheels rolled away the water on the ground and left the city without any hindrance.

Upon closer inspection, the face of the groom, who was wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, looked quite unnatural, and he seemed to be a little nervous.

There was no other reason, except that in addition to a person sitting in the carriage, there was also a tiger.

Even though the tiger was young, it already had some power, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

The tiger and the leopard are like colts, but they have the aura of eating cows!

"Master, don't be nervous, my tiger won't hurt anyone."

A long voice came from the carriage, soothing the coachman's slightly anxious heart.

The person in the carriage was naturally Li Qing, who went to Qingzhou to return the Ancient Xuan Hammer to the family of the ancient master.

Regardless of whether we can find Master Gu's family on this trip, at least we still have to go on this trip. After all, it's what we agreed to do.

In this way, the carriage drove out of the north city gate and continued northward.

At the same time, Shengtian City.

In the newly established Maple Guard Gate, the newly joined Maple Guards stood in a circle under the eaves around the martial arts stage in front.

The heavy rain splashed on the stage, but it could not extinguish the fire in everyone's heart, and their eyes contained expectation.

"It seems that the top three in this school exam will not only be rewarded with silver, but also receive guidance from several commanders."

"Forget it, I won't consider it. My martial arts skills are low and I will be embarrassed if I go up there."

"Oh, that's right. This stage is just for those Maple Guards who have reached the level of external strength."

"Damn it, I've been practicing martial arts for a long time, why haven't I developed my strength yet?"

"."

That's right, a small competition is now being held in order to determine the strength of the newly formed Maple Guard.

And Xiao Bi's reward also made many people envious and eager to get started.

But there are also some warriors who have mediocre talents and have never stepped into the external strength. They feel quite unhappy. Those warriors who can get the top three in the small competition are already very strong. If they get the guidance of several internal strength masters, they will not be strong forever. Is it strong?

If this is the case, they will never be able to surpass the top few warriors in their entire lives.

Of course, there are some people who see things more clearly.

"Haha, this is Kaedeemon, it's not a kid's game of house."

"Isn't it normal for the strong to always be strong? Do we need a few internal strength commanders to waste their time instructing brute force warriors with mediocre talents?"

"You're right. You should understand after entering here that you can live with your head in your belt."

The personnel of Maple Guard are composed of a large part of Jianghu Caomang and a small number of people drawn from the Wuli Army.

There is no doubt that both of them are people who often lick blood from the tip of a knife, but the latter is obviously more transparent.

Soon, a rickety figure holding a black oil-paper umbrella stepped out and leaped to the middle of the martial arts stage in twos and twos.

If Li Qing were here, he would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance. Isn't this the Captain Guo Zhentong whom he had met once in the Frontier Army?

At that time, when Li Qing was standing in front of the ancient master's grave, the old man came over with a jug of wine to worship, which left a deep impression on him.

As soon as Guo Zhentong appeared, the surrounding area immediately became quiet.

He held a black oil-paper umbrella and said in a slightly hoarse old voice: "The rules of this martial arts performance are also very simple. Everyone present is basically a warrior who is good at using weapons. In order to maximize your strength, Don’t be afraid of swords during this martial arts performance!”

"If you are practicing boxing and kicking, you can bring an armor to the stage."

"But there is one thing to note. After all, we are all colleagues working together in the future. Although the sword has no eyes, the user has a heart."

"No killing blows are allowed in this competition, and we should try our best to avoid crippling hands and feet!"

As Guo Zhentong finished speaking, people in the audience began to whisper again.

"I can't help but use weapons. It seems that Kaedeemon is planning to do it for real."

"What if I get seriously injured? What if I get a red eye?"

"Don't worry, as long as the person doesn't have a broken arm or leg, he can be revived with just one breath."

"That's interesting. If I can't use a knife, my strength will be greatly reduced."

"." Soon, after announcing the rules of the martial arts competition, Guo Zhentong also jumped off the martial arts stage and came to a pavilion.

In the pavilion, besides Guo Zhentong, there were two other people sitting, a man and a woman.

The man has a very elegant temperament and a fair face, like a scholar.

The woman, on the other hand, is wearing a red dress and has a heroic appearance. Her beautiful eyebrows are not as soft as those of ordinary women, but are full of heroic spirit.

She wore a ponytail hanging down behind her, and her tight waist highlighted her beautiful figure.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Guo. I can see that you are quite famous among this group of warriors." The elegant man in white said.

Guo Zhentong waved his hand indifferently. He picked up the wine gourd at his waist and drank while saying: "It's all just a false name. Now when it comes to reputation, the name of Commander Qian's Qinghong Heroine is more resounding. !”

That's right, the woman in red is Qian Hong. Due to pressure from her family, she was forced to leave Wu Lijun, and now she has returned to the imperial capital to serve in Maple Guard.

Qian Hong rolled her eyes at Guo Zhentong, who looked like an old naughty boy, and said in a neutral tone: "Let's start quickly. In my opinion, this kind of competition is a waste of time. Is there any good guidance?"

Guo Zhentong laughed loudly and said, "You can't say that. Those who can enter Maple Guard Gate are all good talents."

"Although they are still some external martial artists, not everyone can compare with your talent. It really makes me feel ashamed to have reached the level of internal energy in my twenties."

"Little girl, I'm just lucky. In terms of force alone, I'm afraid neither of us can beat you, Mr. Guo." Qian Hong said with the corners of his mouth rising slowly.

"It's too modest, too modest. Judging from your age, you can look forward to becoming a grandmaster in the future." Mr. Guo said with emotion.

The elegant man listened to the conversation between the two and just smiled without saying a word.

While a few people were chatting, the competition had already begun.

It has to be said that those who can enter Maple Guard Gate and work as errands do have something worthy of praise, and they are by no means mere tricks.

Unfortunately, it was still a bit too boring for the three internally powerful masters watching from the pavilion.

"Well, that's right. The boy named Zhong Ming looks so skinny, but he's actually good at using a meteor hammer."

"For a while, I remembered that this boy Wang Fugui was only in his early 16s. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really not easy for a master of external strength at this age."

"."

In the pavilion, Old Man Guo commented on the situation on the field with gusto while drinking wine.

In addition, Qian Hong couldn't deny this. He never said a word from beginning to end, but just watched everything indifferently.

Soon, halfway through the competition, a rather burly, even exaggeratedly strong man stepped onto the martial arts stage.

He is tall and big, as strong as an ox. Just standing there can give people a strong and oppressive feeling.

As soon as this person took the stage, the surroundings were obviously quiet for a while.

The next moment, his opponent also appeared on the stage. He was also a strong man, but compared with the figure in front of him, there was still a big gap.

"Hey, Zhao Yuan? I know you are not the boss of Gufeng Street, so why are you working as an errand at Maple Guard Gate?"

Zhao Yuan was a man of few words. He was silent for a while and then said, "It's none of your business."

As soon as he said these words, the strong man opposite him suddenly turned as red as a pig's liver.

"Okay, okay, I want to see if the big knife behind your back is just a show." The man said angrily.

The next moment, a man holding two full-moon scimitars rushed directly towards Zhao Yuan.

The rain was still coming down hard, covering up the sound of footsteps.

Zhao Yuan stared straight at the man rushing over, and then touched the big knife on his back with one hand.

Just when the man rushed in front of him, the strength in his body began to surge like a river.

hum!
Between the rain curtain, a bright sword light flashed away.

Swish!
This knife seemed to cut through the falling raindrops, and the opponent who was also an external warrior in front of Zhao Yuan was slashed away in a daze.

Not only that, but accompanying him as he flew out were several broken blades and a pool of scarlet blood.

Looking at this scene, everyone present became silent.

Even the three commanders in Yuting were slightly stunned.

boom!
The first one to react was Commander Qian Hong. She stood up and slapped the table.

"that knife"

　Thanks for the tip, thank you very much!
