Chapter 423 The only pen
The picture of polishing the bald pen continued, and Du Chengfeng continued to watch it.

However, there is no explanation for what follows. Basically, it is about the story of Yuan Zhixian. Yuan Zhixian was originally a painter. Since his family was quite wealthy, he also learned some martial arts, but his status as a painter was not suitable for holding a knife. Carrying a sword, Yuan Zhixian chose the Judge's Pen as his portable weapon - perhaps because painters often need to find inspiration. Yuan Zhixian has done a lot of research on those strange legends, so he knew that this sword The bald pen thing.

"This is the best judge's pen in the world, it must have incredible power!"

As someone who has seen all this, Du Chengfeng wants to say that this pen is actually not that outrageous. It is just a bald pen with a knife on the other end. If you bring a monkey over, the monkey can complete the assembly.

But the facts told him that it was not what he thought at all.

Yuan Zhixian, who was originally only a first-class master, immediately became a top master the moment he got this pen.

Unlike most swords and other weapons, this pen can perfectly adapt to Yuan Zhixian's exquisite painting skills - whenever Yuan Zhixian kills people, the residual evil spirit will condense on the tip of the pen, and When Yuan Zhixian paints with this pen, the evil spirit will be poured into the painting, making the painting look lifelike and indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Isn't this just that, that, that..."

Du Chengfeng immediately remembered the Feiyan and paper figures he had seen before, and wondered how these strange things were made?

It is precisely because of this special ability that Yuan Zhixian's painting skills have been qualitatively improved. At the same time, because of the fame of his paintings, Yuan Zhixian's family has become richer - of course, well-off It is also easy for people to worry about family wealth, but every time, Yuan Zhixian can use the bald pen in his hand to kill the enemy on the spot.

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But the facts have proved that this Yuan Zhixian is indeed the strongest one.

so similar.

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of his previous experiences.

Obviously, his judgment was correct. It was not because the government officials suddenly became stupid, nor was it because of his superb speaking skills. The reason why those people believed in his statement was purely because of this bald pen, as the holder of the bald pen. Even if he stood in front of those government officials, he would only be regarded as an ordinary person.

In these long years, Yuan Zhixian has changed dozens of different identities in order to cover up his abnormality. Sometimes he was a local farmer with a small fortune, and after a few years he became an outsider. The rich man who came here would sometimes travel as a student, and after that, he would come back here as a teacher... His identity may have been changing, but what remains unchanged is Yuan Zhixian The most outrageous thing about this man is that every time he changes his identity, the locals don't notice anything unusual.

Then Yuan Zhixian lived here.

"No wonder..."

Therefore, Yuan Zhixian wanted to remain anonymous.

Yes, as the world's first judge pen, it naturally has the functions of other judge pens, such as being easy to carry and easy to disguise - and when the power of camouflage is extended, it can disguise and even forge the entire person.

However, continuing to fight like this every day is not what Yuan Zhixian wants. He was originally just a painter, and all he wanted was to make progress in painting - that was far more interesting to Yuan Zhixian than killing people, but Now that he was fighting all day long, he had almost no time to paint.

To put it simply, while Yuan Zhixian still holds this bald pen, as long as he does not take the initiative to die on his own, his sense of existence will be greatly weakened. Most of the time, no one will think of him, even if something happens to him. Things, people will only think that he is an innocent ordinary person.

However, it is precisely because of the different experiences that Yuan Zhixian's solution to the problem is also different from Du Chengfeng's - Du Chengfeng took the familiar villagers and forcibly created a tree in the barren mountain. After leaving the village, Magistrate Yuan suddenly became fond of this remote but peaceful place after traveling to Sanshan Town.

As the saying goes, Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. Why are you the strongest?

At least when Yuan Zhixian was young, he had never failed.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since this time, and it was at this time that Du Chengfeng realized that Yuan Zhixian was far from being as young as he looked - if you include the years of fighting and fighting with others, this Magistrate Yuan is probably over 150 years old. However, perhaps because of his excessive strength, even though he is already a man of great age, Yuan Zhixian still looks like he did when he was young.

Like.

Although he and Yuan Zhixian have different specific experiences, if you just look at each other's ideas, they are exactly the same.

In Yuan Zhixian's own opinion, this is because his disguise skills are superb enough and he can perfectly disguise himself as the identity he wants every time - but from Du Chengfeng's perspective, it is completely different. The most obvious example is pretending to be a local old farmer, but not having a clue about it. A white plain shirt may be considered down-to-earth in terms of tailoring, but this kind of unwashed clothes is really Can I wear it in daily life?
Although such a big flaw was exposed, no one noticed that something was wrong. This was not so much Yuan Zhixian's skill as it was the credit of this pen.

"...Why does this experience look so familiar?"

The more people he killed, the more he gained a reputation in martial arts. More and more people knew that this man named Yuan was good at fighting, which also led to more and more masters coming to him for advice.

Of course, if he showed his strength, that would be a different matter, but after all, what the government officials saw were only ruins, and they did not see him at full firepower.

"This is an ordinary guy with some skills."

For him, those government officials probably made this judgment. After all, he showed the ability to enlarge his arms and exposed the existence of those paper figures - but compared to his previous giant height of two feet, This little thing is nothing.

It was precisely because of this that Du Chengfeng became increasingly aware of the power of this pen.

It is true that this pen cannot wield a fire blade, and it is not easy to use to kill people, but in terms of practicality, this pen is simply more powerful than any evil spirit weapon he has ever seen - and this pen It's not that a pen can't be used in fighting. It was obvious in yesterday's fight. He even drew two knives, but was suppressed on the spot. In the end, he was forced to rely on his fists to win.

And this is also the third use of the Judge's Pen besides disguise and painting.

Dip in ink.

It would be difficult to notice this if you were just fighting against Yuan Zhixian. Of course, there were indeed a few smart people who realized the problem during the fight, but that was already their last memory before they died—— Only by observing it from the main perspective like Du Chengfeng can we notice the abnormality of this judge pen.

This bald pen can actually extract evil spirits like dipping it in dye ink. Only when there is evil spirit on the sword can it be called an evil spirit weapon. Once the evil spirit is taken away, all that is left is iron. This pen has experienced hundreds of holders, but none of the holders has truly exerted its power. This function is only because most of them are people in the world, but they know nothing about calligraphy and painting.

That is to say, Yuan Zhixian, who is proficient in painting skills, can be keenly aware of this most vicious function and operate it freely.

"Perhaps this Yuan Zhixian was born for this pen."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

After countless years of twists and turns, the best judge pen in the world finally met Yuan Zhixian, who was most suitable for using it, and Yuan Zhixian finally got the weapon that was most suitable for him to use. This is absolutely perfect. The effect of cooperation is far more than one plus one is greater than two. It is precisely because of this perfect mutual adaptation that Yuan Zhixian is so strong that he is almost invincible.

Of course, it is not necessarily true that he is invincible. After all, the world is so big, and there may be more hidden masters. But what can I say about this kind of thing? Those who dare to fight him cannot beat him, and those who can beat him are unwilling to come out. Fighting, after all these roundings, it is indeed invincible.

However, is invincibility really a good thing?

Perhaps it is indeed a good thing for Yuan Zhixian himself. There are no enemies or opponents. No one can stop him with a bald pen. He can do whatever he wants - Yuan Zhixian even thought about becoming emperor at one time. Zu, but this kind of thing was really boring after practice, so he regarded Sanshan Town as his own territory, and stayed here all day long to indulge in poetry and painting without caring about worldly affairs.

Of course, it is not that they are completely indifferent to worldly affairs. For example, the last magistrate of Sanshan Town went too far in scraping the land, causing complaints from the people. Even Magistrate Yuan, who was not the magistrate at the time, could not paint properly and even had no paint for painting. Unable to buy it - so the magistrate Yuan painted Zhang Yanzi and killed the magistrate directly. Then he went to Jiankang to gain fame and became the magistrate himself.

"This……"

Seeing this, Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.

Perhaps in terms of behavior, Magistrate Yuan did a good deed, but in terms of the matter itself, Magistrate Yuan was outrageous to a certain extent - Magistrate Yuan never thought about punishing rape and eradicating evil. He just does whatever he wants. Whether it is etiquette, law, or the most basic morality, it is meaningless to Yuan Zhixian. There are no rules that can restrain this invincible monster.

This can be clearly seen from Yuan Zhixian's drawing paper. At first, Yuan Zhixian was just painting with ordinary rice paper. When he was over fifty years old, that is, after becoming invincible in the world, he He would only use the best paper, and during the hundred years of seclusion that followed, Yuan Zhixian tried various materials in order to break through his painting skills.

In the past ten years, most of the paper used by Yuan Zhixian has been turned into human skin.

Peeling skin for painting is an extremely cruel act for anyone, but for Yuan Zhixian, it can only be regarded as a pastime in his spare time. It is a normal preparation of materials. In order to make the peeled skin more It was so delicate and complete that Yuan Zhixian even took the time to learn the craft of peeling it.

Such behavior can be called crazy, but what can it do even if it is crazy? Who can punish this already invincible man?

"Hey, I knew it."

At the end of the picture, Du Chengfeng saw his big face again.

The most suitable person meets the most suitable weapon. This is indeed a perfect combination, and this perfect combination does show its due ferocity - but perhaps it is because this Yuan Zhixian is really a waste of time. Finally, this most perfect combination finally found its most suitable opponent.

Du Chengfeng, who had just finished compressing his body, perfectly restrained the use of the judge's pen. All his attacks were completely useless. Yuan Zhixian, who had never failed before, finally suffered his first defeat in his life.

However, Yuan Zhixian had no chance of failing a second time. If he lost this time, his entire body would have been beaten into two dimensions and embedded in the floor tiles.

"Hey……"

After seeing all this, Du Chengfeng held the bald pen in his hand and let out a long sigh.

This sinful life of Yuan Zhixian was also a cruel wake-up call for him.

Even if you are invincible, so what?
You must know that in this world, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

"If only Yuan Zhixian could learn more of the recently popular techniques, he wouldn't be so passive."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng sighed even more.

This is indeed the case. If Yuan Zhixian can be like Wu Zhao and have the ability to fight with him for two hours with a knife, or if he can kill him again and again like Huang Tian, ​​then he may really be forced to panic - -However, Yuan Zhixian really relied too much on the power brought by this bald pen. He used this pen to fight the whole time, but the tricks used by this bald pen were not even the slightest bit for him now. It has no effect, it can almost be called being defeated.

Indeed, it was this bald pen that made Yuan Zhixian invincible for a time, but it was also this bald pen that led to Yuan Zhixian's untimely death.

Of course, strictly speaking, this is actually Yuan Zhixian's own problem.

If this Yuan Zhixian has a good character and has never done any crazy things, how can he need to hide his head and hide his tail, or even be afraid of people coming to his door?

"But in the final analysis, you still have to learn more things, and don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills."

Du Chengfeng was frightened when he thought of the fight just now, that is, he happened to be able to defeat the bald pen at that time, otherwise he would have been sent to the second dimension instead.

Maybe luck did allow him to win this battle, but he couldn't just leave his life to luck.

Fortunately, everything finally passed and this pen became his strength.

And the sun still rises as usual.
