……

While taking Xiao Zhao to the county seat, Shen Lang looked at his attribute panel, and found that in the "Skills" column, the description of "Ten Steps, One Kill" had changed from "Ninth-Rank Beginner" to Ninth-Rank.

Yes, now he has been able to gather all his strength in the ultimate move, and he has already stepped through the entry stage of a ninth-rank warrior, and has truly entered the room.

But the ultimate move he has now is the only one that is Baihong Guanri.

This move leaves no room, no retreat, it goes forward without hesitation, it is only for one blow, only one stab, except for the point of the sword pointing directly in front, the whole body is full of flaws.

Basically, it can only be used to single out the frontal enemy, unable to deal with the flank and rear enemies.

Even when there are two enemies in front, you can only choose one to kill.

The other is helpless, and may even be counter-killed——

One kill at ten steps is too fierce. When you make a move, you must concentrate your whole body. Not only do you have no time to pay attention to it, but even after the successful kill, because the murderous aura in your heart is poured out with the momentum of the sword, you will have a brief absence.

But in a duel between masters, even a momentary loss of consciousness is enough to determine the success or failure of life and death.

But Shen Lang didn't care.

To be able to practice martial arts in just three or four days, and to be able to master one-handed killing moves that can threaten senior and low-level fighters is already very good, how can we expect more?
To be honest, if Shen Lang hadn't practiced the "Demon Taming Art", had the "spiritual seeds", could stimulate emotions on his own, and because of his agility enhancement, he had far more control over himself than ordinary people, even if he witnessed such a tragic event tonight, he might not have Can practice this sword.

Although the "Sword of Killing Intent" of "Ten Steps, One Kill" is a quick way, but no matter how quick it is, at least some foundation in swordsmanship is required.

And Shen Lang, a vegan without any foundation in swordsmanship, practiced thirteen strokes to improve strength, and was able to practice one ultimate move, which can already be called shocking.

In addition to updating the skill description, the progress of Shen Lang's Demon Taming Art has also changed to "31/100".

This is of course because he practiced the "Demon Taming Art" every day, that is, he clicked on the little silver moon a few times a day.

Now he can only click on the little moon three times a day at most, and every time he clicks, his mental power can be strengthened a little, and his cultivation progress will be +1 at the same time.

Of course, it's only been a few days since he got some fine pens. If he just clicks three times a day, he won't be able to jump up to 31 points in a few days.

Among them, there are 20 points of cultivation progress, which are obtained by enlightening Xiaoyu and Xiaozhao.

Every time a little demon is enlightened, it can increase his skill proficiency of "Demon Taming Art" by 10 points.

However, the skill proficiency has increased, and the "spiritual seeds" between the brows have also been condensed a lot, but Shen Lang doesn't seem to feel any substantial changes.

It can still only be used to communicate with the little demon, and the other is to assist "agility enhancement" to slightly strengthen the five senses and control over oneself.

Oh, it can also stimulate emotions independently, making the anger stronger and the killing intent stronger.

……

After climbing over the city wall and returning to the county seat, he used the cat's stealth all the way to avoid the night watchman and arrived outside the barracks in the west of the city.

"Xiao Zhao, when you were in Wangjiazhuang, did you smell the smell of gunpowder?"

【Yeah, there were so many soldiers with muskets at that time, and they smelled a lot of gunpowder. 】

"I'll give you some fine pens later, follow the smell of gunpowder, sneak into the gunpowder storehouse in the barracks, and use some fine pens to get two barrels of gunpowder out."

Although he has already practiced a one-stroke lore, as a 21st century earthling, Shen Lang obviously trusts firearms more, and he firmly believes in Zhu Hu's statement that "the times have changed".

At least, when the level of martial arts is still very low, firearms are indeed very powerful.

[Can I also use some fine pens?Can someone enlighten a dog to be my dog's leg? 】

"You can't use the magic touch technique, you can only decorate things with a little fine brush space."

【Pity.But Shen Lang, if we sneak into the barracks to steal gunpowder, do we count as doing something bad? 】

"……Calculate."

[Aren't you going to be a hero?How can heroes do bad things? 】

"To be a hero, you must offend countless people, and be put to death by countless people. If you don't know how to adapt, you will be dead. Besides, we are trying to uphold justice... Forget it, the big deal is that I call myself Yizhengyi Evil Rogue."

[Hey, can this still be the case? 】

"Of course. This is human intelligence."

[But Liu Bei said: Don't do evil because it is small, don't do good because it is small...]

"You're a killer cat and you're accusing me...Stop talking nonsense and help me get the gunpowder!"

【okay then.Do you want to do nothing and just grab a few muskets? 】

"Why don't you just move a small cannon out?"

【Good idea meow! 】

"Meow, you are so big, be obedient, only take gunpowder, no musket or cannon."

【Okay meow~】

So the cat held a fine pen in its small mouth, jumped over the fence without sound, sneaked into the barracks, and went to the gunpowder magazine by smelling the smell.

Speaking of which, Xiao Zhao's snow-white fur is quite conspicuous on a night with bright moonlight.

However, it is small in size, fast and sensitive, and it is a natural stalker. In addition, the military discipline in this barracks is just like that. You only need to avoid one or two absent-minded sentries to sneak in all the way.

Soon, it successfully found the gunpowder magazine.

The warehouse door was closed tightly without any gaps.Even the windows are equipped with iron bars that are as thick as an arm, and the gap is so narrow that half-sized people can't stretch their arms through it.

But cats are originally made of water, and Xiao Zhao is a little milk cat that only eats meat but doesn't grow up. It's only a little bigger than a palm. The iron bars of the window can't stop it, so it slips in easily. .

[A lot of guns~ There are really small cannons.There are rumors in the world that the gun is fast if it is seven steps away; within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast.It's all here, it's a pity not to take a gun~! 】

Cats are unruly in nature and love freedom. It is really difficult to make cats obedient.

So when Xiao Zhao came back triumphantly, and returned some fine brushes to Shen Lang as if offering a treasure, Shen Lang thoughtfully looked at the things in the space, and was dumbfounded on the spot.

In the space, there are not only ten barrels of gunpowder, but also a small cannon, ten flintlock rifles, and supporting shells, bullets, etc.

The agreed two barrels of gunpowder turned into ten barrels, not to mention it, the key is how did you even take out the muskets and artillery?
Once such a big case happens, the Changsheng county government will not be able to handle it at all, and it will definitely be reported to the higher authorities, and it may cause some tricky detectives.

Although it is basically impossible to find Shen Lang who has a portable space and sent cats to steal, but the size is also a problem, isn't it?
Seeing Xiao Zhao's tail cocked triumphantly, and his big watery eyes flickering, looking at him expectantly, waiting for me to praise its cute appearance, Shen Lang is really a bit of a compliment, and it's not right to scold him.

Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Lang picked up Xiao Zhao and rubbed his little head a few times:
"You didn't do this errand well enough, and you didn't obey my orders at all. I don't want to praise you and fuel your arrogance."

【Meow, does Shen Lang not like me?Woooooo... She is so pitiful, she is clearly thinking of you out of good intentions...]

"Of course it's not that I don't like you anymore, it's just that you didn't do your job well, so I have to point it out... In this way, you return the guns and gunpowder, leaving two barrels is enough..."

【Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...】

"Okay, okay, stop being coquettish... It's not that I don't like you anymore."

After all, he is his own little demon, and he is indeed thinking of himself. Shen Lang can't be too harsh, so he can only show the patience of teaching a bear child, and explain in a nice way:
"The reason why I tell you not to take guns is because if it is only two barrels of gunpowder that are missing, the county soldiers can still cover it up as training expenses. But if guns, especially guns, are missing for no reason, it will become a big case Even if you want to report training losses, you must have damaged guns!
"We have personal space, so of course we are not afraid of being traced. But the soldiers who lost so much ordnance in the barracks will suffer a lot. Not only will they have to pay money and fines, but they will also have to be imprisoned, exiled, or even shot.

"We can't implicate the innocent in order to uphold justice, right? That would not even count as a grand thief who is both righteous and evil."

【... Woohoo, even if you're right, but, don't they have to make another trip?Very hard meow~]

"It's your hard work. Then tomorrow, I'll buy you two big fresh fish, guaranteed to be more than five catties, okay?"

[It's a deal!I'll return the gun right now...]

……

[Ask for a ticket~! 】
