My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 223: Martial Artist

Jiang Xinghuo was not prepared for the sudden change. There was no hint in the game text and he was caught off guard.

"You were attacked by a martial artist."

"The martial artist's two swords are as fierce as the wind."

"You are now wearing a robe with ghost patterns. You look like a ghost, but you are actually a flesh and blood body. If you are hit by the sword, you will die on the spot!"

"Fortunately, you were agile enough and reacted quickly enough. When you saw the blade approaching, you leaned back and just avoided the attack from the martial artist."

"At the same time, you also take off the steel spear on your back, twist your hands, and a two-meter-long spear takes shape in your hands. Unfold the Liuhe spear and fight with the martial artist."

"Wu Xingzhe was originally a disciple of the White Water River God. The pair of swords in his hands were also forged with dragon scales shed by the White Water River God."

"The steel spear in your hand is just an ordinary weapon. After only a few rounds of fighting, it was cut into three pieces by the Dragon Scale Ring Knife!"

"The warrior did not miss this opportunity. The two swords in his hands swept over like a storm. Now you don't have a weapon that suits you. How are you going to deal with it next?"

There are many options listed on the screen, including the evil star bite, muddy water stick, thunder chisel, seven-star sword, broken army halberd...

Jiang Xinghuo looked carefully and suddenly saw the apricot yellow flag, so he tapped the screen and chose to use it.

"You pulled the apricot flag out of your trick bag."

"The apricot yellow flag is a magical weapon for self-defense, but in your hands, it seems to have turned into a big spear. The big flag is like a cloud, flying up and down. Although the dragon scale double ring swords in the hands of the martial artist are sharp, they can't do anything to the big flag in your hand."

"After only a dozen encounters, Wu Xingzhe's twin dragon-scale swords were knocked down by your apricot-yellow flag."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the roots of the martial artist."

"The martial artist, a monster who practices ancient martial arts, came to the underworld and became a believer of the White Water River God by chance."

"Today, your performance beside the White Water River attracted the attention of the White Water River God. He recognized your ability and felt uneasy, so he sent martial artists to monitor you and wanted to know any movement in Liuhe Pavilion."

"Wu Xingzhe obtained the certificate from the God of the White Water River and came to Wuguan Street alone with a knife in hand. He happened to see you coming out of Liuhe Hall, and he became malicious and wanted to kill you and report back to the God of the White Water River to claim credit for you."

"I never thought that its craftsmanship was a little bit poor. Even with the help of the Dragon Scale Ring Knife, it still couldn't defeat your Apricot Yellow Flag."

"Attention: The martial artist's cultivation has reached 103 years."

Oh ho!

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't take the long speeches before to heart and just regarded it as a short story. The key point was that the cultivation of Taoism over the past hundred years really attracted him.

"Do you want to kill the warrior completely?"

Seeing the game text pop up, Jiang Xinghuo nodded repeatedly. This is a good thing and he absolutely cannot kill it like this.

Jiang Xinghuo quickly opened his magic bag and found the Crane Boy's gourd.

"You took out the Crane Boy's gourd."

"You ignored the warrior's resistance and struck out with a palm thunder, shattering its consciousness. Then you searched its body and made sure there was nothing on it before putting it into the gourd." "The current number of evil spirits imprisoned: 3/10."

Seeing the information prompt from the game text, Jiang Xinghuo happily put the gourd into the magic bag. Now he was one step closer to his goal.

Gui Yunzi, you bastard, just wait! !

After Jiang Xinghuo put away the gourd, he counted the gains from Wu Xingzhe and found that there were actually some good things.

"Dragon Scale Dual Ring Knife (rare equipment), made from dragon scales shed from a flood dragon, mixed with strange craftsmanship from the underworld, forged through repeated hammering, extremely sharp, indestructible, special talent: water control."

"Talent effect: Holding two swords, one can walk freely underwater and control the power of the water for his own use. This also has an absolute suppressive effect on creatures like scaly beetles and snakes."

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text and took out the two swords into reality. They were about three feet long, with high spines and thin blades, a coiled dragon shape at the mouth, and two blood grooves. At first glance, you could tell that they were extremely dangerous weapons.

Jiang Xinghuo played with the two ring knives in his hands for a while before putting them into the magic bag. These rare items could bring him considerable profits whether he used them himself or sold them to other players.

Then Jiang Xinghuo looked at other things.

"Dragon Soaring Crane Spirit Dual Swordsmanship (rare skill), a martial arts swordsmanship that has been passed down from ancient times in the secular world. It imitates the method of soaring dragons and dancing cranes, and integrates it into the dual swords. The more enemies you face, the greater the power you can exert."

Ancient martial arts?

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the relevant text out of curiosity, and the relevant introduction popped up immediately.

"It is a martial arts school from ancient times in the secular world. Compared with today's traditional Chinese martial arts, it is not only difficult to get started, but also relies heavily on talent. If you don't have enough talent, you will never be able to learn the secrets even if you study for your entire life."

"Over time, this martial arts school disappeared in the long river of history of the secular world."

"It has been replaced by the unique national martial arts. Although it has weakened the power of martial arts, it has become easier to practice. It is also powerful enough to fight against ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas."

"Do you want to practice this sword technique immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation. A large number of unfamiliar memories instantly flooded into his mind, and the tricks of the swordsmanship also formed conditioned reflexes in his nerves.

In terms of sophistication, it is indeed superior to all the martial arts he has ever learned. Only the stick techniques that come with the Xinghe Water Control Technique can be compared with it.

Jiang Xinghuo felt that it was worth it. Although this trip to the underworld delayed the progress of exploration in the world of the living, the gains he gained were not small.

Whether it's the essence of Bajiquan, the fragments of the Law of Returning Home, or this dual-sword technique, they have all greatly improved his strength.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the remaining two things again.

"Dragon scales (common material). Although the scales shed by dragons have lost a lot of their spirituality, they can still be used as materials for refining elixirs or forging weapons and armor."

"The Fragment of the Dragon Raising Technique (Excellent Technique), an article that records the secret method of the dragon raising technique, but the content is incomplete, just a broken painting, and it is impossible to tell what exactly is recorded."

"This is what Wu Xingzhe stole from the water palace of the White Water River God. It is very likely that the secret of the White Water River God's revival is hidden in it."

"Wu Xingzhe was unwilling to be forever inferior to the White Water River God, so he secretly studied this fragment, hoping to gain power that surpasses the White Water River God. I didn't expect that you would get the advantage now."
