in the edge

Chapter 455 New people replace old ones

"So aren't you going to teach those friends of yours?"

Du Chengfeng, who had just come out of the kitchen, was quite surprised. He had already prepared to give this boy a half-day vacation and come to wait for him. However, this boy unexpectedly came back early, even with a smile on his face. Clean the table carefully.

"What's going on? Have you changed your gender?"

"Isn't there a lot of guests lately?"

The young man forced a smile, but felt a little weak in his heart.

The reason for coming back early was, of course, not because there were many guests, but because this inn was the safest place for him right now - after all, there was the Jingtao Sword King outside who was looking for him everywhere. If he dared to show up outside, he would be afraid that It’s not about getting caught red-handed.

So he took advantage of the Jingtao Sword King to close his eyes and count, and ran all the way back. In order to prevent the other party from hearing the footsteps, he even went around the county government office.

Just like what Du Chengfeng told him yesterday, he has learned something about strategy and tactics.

In terms of tactics, he misled the Jingtao Sword King. In terms of strategy, he hid in a position that the opponent had never expected - yes, although he was indeed seen by the Jingtao Sword King working at the inn before. The appearance means that this place may not necessarily be safe, but the other party may not really be able to think of such an obvious place.

To come to the door at this time is to some extent causing trouble to others, not to mention what can he say after meeting him? Said he ran around the town five times?

"..."

"Strategy and tactics..."

So he just came back. This is a strategic success.

"You also use a knife, right?"

There is no need to bother others anymore, he has already got what he wants. Although this so-called hide-and-seek seems simple, it has opened up a new horizon for him-in the past, he was too rigid in his moves, and always He felt that powerful sword moves were everything, but it was this training method that did not require the use of moves that allowed him to see something more advanced than moves.

"Forget it."

Panting, Wang Wenshun stood still and looked towards the inn not far away.

As for more, this young man can't think of it. With his fourteen-year-old experience, what he can think of is already the limit.

"Taking the meaning of flowing water, right? It's indeed a good idea, but your knife skills are so bad. It's no wonder that you can't make any sense with that knife."

"What are you looking at?"

"The green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. See you in the future!"

Across a table, the two faced each other.

Reciting these two words along the way, Wang Wenshun came to a roadside tea shop unknowingly.

"Could it be...that it's really dark under the lamp?"

"Are you alright?"

"It seems that your Excellency is also..."

Just like the burly man who was also drinking tea at the tea stall, although he didn't have a knife on him, Wang Wenshun instinctively sensed the sharp aura exuding from him.

"I've seen your knife."

In the past, Wang Wenshun would not stop on the way. After all, it would waste time and make no sense. But now, he subconsciously started to save his energy and maintain a relatively good preparation state.

If he were to put himself in his shoes, he would probably feel that no one would hide in such an obvious place.

"Nothing, I just feel a little envious when I see your burly figure."

Wang Wenshun shook his head.

But after thinking for a moment, he still didn't step forward.

It was at this time that the tall man suddenly turned around.

"Yes."

After all, in a strange environment, accidents may occur at any time. What if he really encounters an enemy?

Wang Wenshun nodded.

On the one hand, it was naturally because there was his brother-killing enemy in the inn. If he really met him, he might not be able to control his desire to draw the sword. On the other hand, it was because it was already noon. Since the so-called "senior" was still there, He didn't show up, obviously he didn't want to see him again.

Although he said polite words, Wang Wenshun was surprised in his heart. He could be noticed just by taking a glance. This tall man's perception is really sharp.

Of course, during this process, he was also worried whether the Jingtao Sword King would come directly to his door - but the fact was what the young man thought. Wang Wenshun ran around Sanshan Town five times and kept running. By noon, the so-called "senior" who was hiding could not be found.

The tall man looked at Wang Wenshun again, then turned around and sat over.

Wang Wenshun didn't answer, just sipping tea silently.

Before Wang Wenshun could speak, the tall man continued talking on his own.

The other party must be a good swordsman, maybe even better than him.

Of course, the Jingtao Sword King might still come looking for him, so he had to finish all the work early and then hide - after the Jingtai Sword King couldn't find him, he would probably leave. After all, that was how it was played out in those stories. Senior masters disappeared after leaving instructions. I think the Jingtao Sword King could also understand this.

"I paid for the tea, so I'll treat it as a tribute to this fate."

This experience has given him too much, and he needs to find a suitable opponent to verify what he has learned and thought.

Just these things, he already needs some time to digest, and if he learns more, he may not be able to understand them.

Wang Wen arched his hands in the direction of the inn and left Sanshan Town.

"……interesting."

He opened his mouth to say that his sword skills were poor, which was somewhat provocative. Even if this burly man seemed to be stronger than him, his tone was too arrogant.

But there is no way, strong is strong, the other party has the capital to be arrogant.

Just like now, if both sides use swords across the table, Wang Wenshun can be sure that the other party will be able to cut him in two before his blade can be slashed out.

After all, the opponent's body is fully prepared.

Although he still hasn't seen where the knife is, the sturdy man in front of him is already ready to attack.

"Strategy and tactics..."

Wang Wenshun couldn't help but think of the instructions he had received before.

But this silent recitation was also captured by the sturdy man.

"What did you say?"

The burly man frowned.

"Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"No, your Excellency is right, absolutely right."

Seeing that the burly man was about to raise his right hand, Wang Wenshun immediately nodded.

"I'm still thinking about the problem you pointed out. After all, this kind of advice is too precious to me... I wonder if you can criticize a few more words, so that you can help me find and fill in the gaps?"

"...?"

The burly man glanced at Wang Wenshun suspiciously, as if he was looking at a lunatic.

"You really don't want to do anything?"

"How dare you."

Wang Wenshun shook his head repeatedly, as if he would not fight under any circumstances.

"Your Excellency is so much stronger than me, how dare I fight against you." "You... forget it, people nowadays are really boring."

Shaking his head, the tall man sat back on his desk, looking uninterested.

This also made Wang Wenshun subconsciously relieved.

He did think about taking action against this burly man, but he never expected that just his thoughts at that moment would be quickly noticed by the other party.

Is this a master?
He was indeed too shallow before.

"Bill, please."

Thinking of this, Wang Wenshun paid the bill and also paid for the tall man's tea.

Wang Wenshun left, but the sturdy man had a few extra servings of tea. On the one hand, someone paid the bill and refused to eat for free. On the other hand, it was also because this fate was too clever - he had just wiped it out before. After seeing the sword intent in the river, it didn't take long for him to see the real owner of the sword intent again. Although this young swordsman was still quite immature in swordsmanship, he could see how powerful he was. A bit discerning.

But it can only be regarded as a bit of foresight. He just saw the danger in him. If that kid really had a vicious vision, he should have kowtowed and became a disciple on the spot.

After all, he holds in his hand the best sword in the world.

This is the confidence that No. 1 in the world brings him.

"So, is there anyone in this world who can compete with me?"

Thinking of this, the sturdy man immediately thought of the cook in the inn, but after thinking for a moment, he stopped thinking about it - after all, he had never been beaten, and thinking about it would only increase his worries.

At this time, a light rain suddenly started falling from the sky.

Just looking at the dark sky, it was as gloomy as the mood of this sturdy man.

"It seems like I have a goal. After I challenge a few more opponents, I will go back and kill the cook."

Taking a deep breath, the sturdy man cheered up.

A temporary win or loss proves nothing, but it gives him a little motivation to get up. Being able to lose is a good thing for him at the moment, which means that there is still room for improvement in his sword skills.

"gone!"

After greeting the waiter at the tea shop, the sturdy man stood up.

The drizzle sprinkled on the body will certainly make the clothes wet, but the continuous drizzle also makes the air fresh - this even makes the sturdy man think back to the past and the hard training he did on the island. At that time, the rain he faced was much worse than this, and he even hated rainy days extremely.

But now...

"and many more?"

The sturdy man suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

He was obviously looking for a new opponent, so why did he suddenly start to recall the past?
And that increasingly obvious intuition...

"who!"

The sturdy man waved his hand, and the simple sword took shape in his palm in an instant.

"come out!"

The dirt road was already wet with rain, but there was no trace of human figures on the road.

But the sturdy man still swung his knife in the distance.

"A rat who hides his head and shows his tail... huh?"

The sword was swung out, but the sturdy man was stunned.

Just because what was swung out was not the sharp blade, but his own blood.

At some point, his wrist holding the knife was completely cut open, and as he swung the knife, the hand holding the knife fell directly to the ground!

"you……"

At this moment, the sturdy man finally realized what was wrong.

It's rain.

It's the drizzle falling from the sky!

"It's you!"

The sturdy man had already thought of the person who made the sneak attack.

The boy who just paid the bill at the tea shop, the so-called flowing water knife technique... this water can actually flow from the sky!

"A hidden arrow hurts someone! What a hero..."

The sturdy man immediately tried to use his sword to fight back, but only one hand was broken. He still had a chance to fight again!

But just when he was about to fight back, his head slipped from his neck.

Yes, compared to the wrist, the head with a higher position is obviously more likely to come into contact with the drizzle.

"you……"

A head fell to the ground, and the burly man holding the best sword in the world died without closing his eyes!
The drizzle washed over the big man's body, but the weak raindrops were as sharp as blades at this moment. In just a moment, the big man's body had been turned into debris on the ground as if it had been cut into pieces by a thousand knives, and was no longer there. the possibility of counterattack.

It was only then that Wang Wenshun emerged from under the tree in the distance.

"Strategy and tactics..."

Wang Wenshun was still chanting these two words, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Indeed, in the opponent's mouth, this may be regarded as a sneak attack, but in Wang Wenshun's eyes, this is just a strategic attempt to deceive the opponent's intentions - the confrontation between them began as early as the meeting in the tea shop. , it was this big man who chose to give up his vigilance.

He was so confident and knew he could handle anything. Since this big man had such thoughts, it was natural for him to die here.

"Just like I used to be."

Thinking of this, Wang Wenshun couldn't help but feel scared. The more he recalled, the more frightened he became - he used to live in danger all the time, and he himself was not aware of it. This was simply...

"But the person I am now is no longer the same person."

Wang Wenshun held the waist knife in his hand and looked down at the corpse on the ground.

Yes, this burly man was indeed much stronger than him, but so what?

As long as he skillfully uses strategies and tactics and no longer sticks to the so-called sword moves, even if he is the weaker side, he can still defeat the strong with the weak!
"So now you understand the true meaning of the Flowing Water Knife Technique?"

Bowing slightly to the wreckage on the ground, Wang Wenshun expressed respect for his opponent.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that his sword began to heat up.

The ancient sword held by the severed hand on the ground gradually disappeared, and the sword in his hand became increasingly hot. At this moment, Wang Wenshun felt that what he was holding was no longer a sword, but a piece of red-hot iron.

"What...is going on?"

Wang Wenshun was shocked. He had no idea what kind of situation this was.

But immediately, Wang Wenshun's pupils shrank.

"The best sword in the world, the best sword in the world... This big man who was killed by me actually has such a background?"

Holding the sword tightly, Wang Wenshun narrowed his eyes.

He seems to have found a way to take revenge.
