The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 15: Mangshan Sword School
Zhang Yimang had never imagined that his first act of punishing evil and doing justice would lead to such a situation!

At first, everything went as he expected. Although there were many villains in Huangmen Village, most of them were just low-level warriors with a rough understanding of martial arts.

Zhang Yimang was born in the Mangshan Sword School. He followed his master to practice martial arts diligently since he was a child. His every move and every style has the style of a master.

With his internal strength enhanced, those Taihu Lake bandits were no match for him.

However, the young swordsman could not continue relying solely on his courage. After killing more than a dozen bandits, his internal strength was almost exhausted.

The Taihu Lake bandits looked vulnerable individually, but when they were together, they were like a dog-skin plaster, persistent and impossible to kill.

"Stab!"

Zhang Yimang was not paying attention and was slashed on the left arm by a pirate, leaving a long and narrow wound.

And this scene seemed to be just the beginning. Afterwards, Zhang Yimang suffered more and more wounds on his body, and he was about to die under the siege of the Huangmenzhai bandits.

Not far away, an old man holding a sword came running towards them. Each step he took was more than ten feet long, showing his extraordinary accomplishments in lightness skills.

"Shh!"

The old man unsheathed the famous sword in his hand, and saw the wheel on the hilt spinning rapidly, causing the sword body to tremble rapidly.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The old man slashed with his sword, breaking the machetes in the hands of the three bandits. The sword light turned rapidly, transforming into three sword flowers, piercing the throats of the three men and killing them on the spot.

"Master!" Zhang Yimang was really surprised and happy when he saw the old man holding the sword.

After the old man held the sword, he seemed like a different person. He had a terrifying aura and his martial arts skills had reached a second-rate level.

Even though he is only second-rate, in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he is also considered a master at the level of an ordinary sect leader. Dealing with these water bandits is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Zhang Yimang watched his master charging into the crowd with a sword in hand. In a flash, more than a dozen bandits died under his master's sword.

Just as he was about to charge forward with his master, he saw the old man holding a sword flash by and come to his side and ask, "Have you recovered some of your strength?"

Zhang Yimang nodded repeatedly, and the old man holding the sword continued, "Very good, let's go!"

Zhang Yimang was stunned and asked, "But Master, why don't we kill all these thieves?"

The old man holding the sword said, "These pirates are not simple. They seem to be following the shadow of a military battle formation. We are afraid that something bad will happen if we delay."

For the old man holding the sword, rescuing his apprentice and protecting himself are the top priorities. There is no need to fight with this group of desperadoes.

At this time, on the gate of Huangmen Village, a middle-aged man with a beard and hair standing up and one eye missing said in hatred, "Want to leave? You killed so many of my brothers. I want you to die without a burial place."

"You must be the leader of Huangmen Village, 'One-eyed Dragon' Pang Tong, right?" The old man danced with his sword and held the sword to protect Zhang Yimang.

"You old man, you actually have some knowledge. Brothers, kill him!" Pang Tong gave an order.

Three people suddenly appeared from the gate of the village, holding yellow lacquered crossbows and arrows, and shot at the old man with the sword.

"Mahuang Crossbow!" The old man's expression changed drastically. This was a deadly weapon only available in the Song Dynasty army. How could a mere pirate get such contraband?

But the old man didn't have time to think, he immediately filled his body with energy and blocked with his sword. With his skills, it was not difficult for him to avoid the crossbow arrows.

But Zhang Yimang was right behind him, and the old man could only hold his sword to resist.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The old man waved his sword, almost turning into an afterimage, blocking the incoming crossbow arrows one by one, showing his extremely superb swordsmanship. After a round of crossbow arrows were shot, while the bandits were reloading arrows, the old man holding the sword carried Zhang Yimang and killed his way out of the encirclement.

Although the old man was very old, he had great internal strength. He ran for several miles before he put Zhang Yimang down.

Zhang Yimang said, "Master, why didn't we work together to kill those villains just now?"

But at this moment, the old man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the splattered blood dyed his clothes red.

Zhang Yimang was at a loss as to what to do and held the old man in his arms. Only then did he notice that there was a crossbow arrow stuck in the old man's chest and abdomen.

This kind of injury is fatal to ordinary people. The old man holding the sword also held his breath and barely managed to fight his way out of the water stronghold.

"A hooligan!" The old man's face was as pale as gold paper, completely bloodless. He took his last breath and was already exhausted.

"Master, I am here!" Zhang Yimang said in a panic.

It was not until this time that he felt extremely regretful and wondered why he was so impulsive and even implicated his own master.

"Yimang, I can't do it anymore. From now on, the Mangshan Sect will be handed over to you." The old man handed the famous sword in his hand to Zhang Yimang.

"Master, please stop talking." Zhang Yimang took out the golden wound medicine on his body and sprinkled it on the old man's wound, but it was still useless.

The old man's wound was bleeding profusely and there was no way to save him.

"The Wheel Sword is the sword worn by the Sect Leader. From today on... you are the thirteenth generation Sect Leader of the Mangshan Sword Sect!"

The old man coughed twice and continued, "To travel the world, you can't just rely on courage. In the future, remember to think twice before you act!"

After the old man finished his last sentence, he died instantly.

"Master!" Zhang Yimang fell on the old man and burst into tears!

He roams the world with a sword, doing justice and helping the weak. He just wants to be a real knight. Could it be that he really did something wrong?
"Master, I was wrong! The world is already filthy, so why should I meddle in other people's business? Acting as a hero is just a trick to fool children."

At this moment, the belief that Zhang Yimang had held in his heart for many years was completely shaken.

"Wrong!" At this moment, Fang Hao's voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Yimang's ears.

Then his figure came rushing over from far away, and his speed was even faster than that of Zhang Yimang's master.

"There's nothing wrong with being chivalrous and punishing evil. Your mistake is that you are not strong enough!" When he said the last word, Fang Hao was already standing in front of Zhang Yimang.

"Am I not strong enough?" Zhang Yimang asked in confusion, "Then how strong do I have to be?"

"You'll see it soon." Fang Hao turned around and said, "Follow me!"

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Yimang asked.

"Go kill someone!" Fang Hao said with a chuckle.

After learning about the situation of the Taihu Thirteen Villages bandits from Zhang Shiwu, a bold plan came into Fang Hao's mind.

He plans to follow the example of Lu Chengfeng in the original timeline and unify the Taihu Lake bandits!
In the original novel, Fang Hao asked himself if he could do what Lu Chengfeng, who had lost both legs, could do.

The first step to unify the Taihu Lake bandits is to kill people and establish authority!
"Don't go over there!" Zhang Yimang stopped Fang Hao and said, "The bandits in Huangmen Village are not only fearless, but also have Ma Huangnu from the Sanmen Army. You can't win alone."

"I said before that you are not strong enough." Fang Hao said domineeringly: "But I am strong enough!"
