Chapter 490 Help You Become Stronger
A meteor falling to the ground is extremely conspicuous, but a mouse is different.

While still in mid-air, the gray-haired mouse had already spread out its claws, and the stretched fascia made it look like a bat - then the bat drew an arc in mid-air and fell outside Liuhua Mountain.

It was outside Liuhua Mountain, not inside Liuhua Mountain. It had not thought about facing the terrifying iron man head-on.

After all, the Tin Man is stronger than it.

Although according to the strong man, the Iron Man is currently at his weakest due to the three turbidities, but even at his weakest, he is still no match for the Gray-haired Mouse - he said that he has already comprehended the concept of "clearness", but whether this concept can be transformed into power and how much power it can be transformed into is still a question.

"So now we have to lie low and observe, waiting for a good opportunity to strike..."

Thinking of this, the gray-haired mouse that fell to the ground quickly hid in the grass by the roadside.

The way it observed the outside world was exactly the same as that of the coyote above the clouds.

This is the preparatory posture before hunting, and it is also an imitation of a stronger one.

"This is the only way... No, this is the way to do it!"

At this moment, the gray-haired mouse actually had a vague sense of clarity of thought.

Yes, that's how it should be. It was abnormal when it teamed up with the white hedgehog before. At that time, they were blinded by hatred, or rather, they were blinded by power. They thought that they could get rid of the Tin Man with their power - but they obviously didn't know anything about the Tin Man, so where did this confidence come from?

"At least we must first see clearly what the enemy is... or as the mortals say, know yourself and know your enemy."

Thinking of this, the gray-haired mouse actually found a vague sense of familiarity.

It’s as if it hasn’t yet developed any intelligence.

This is how normal hunting should be done. See the prey's posture clearly, choose the time to attack carefully, and once the opportunity arises, make a fatal blow. This is the way to hunt with the highest success rate.

Comparing its previous fighting style with that of the white-haired hedgehog, this is simply...

"Hey."

All memories eventually turn into a long sigh.

The gray-haired mouse, having regained its sanity, cautiously began to hide.

"There are only two ways to defeat the enemy."

Looking at the passers-by, the gray-haired mouse hiding on the roadside was thinking silently.

There are two ways to defeat the enemy. One is to make yourself stronger than the opponent, and the other is to make the opponent weaker than you. These two methods can cover all battles, and the specific ideas of these two methods are really not the same - one is to strengthen yourself and then crush the opponent with an absolutely strong attitude, and the other is to weaken the opponent until the opponent is weaker than you, and then defeat him.

The former is not very realistic for the gray-haired mouse. At least until now it has not figured out how to use the power of "purity" to strengthen itself.

So it chose another path.

That is, weaken the opponent.

Although it had tried a similar method once with the white hedgehog, it still didn't know its enemy well enough at that time - but now, it has learned the most crucial information.

That is, its enemy has been entangled by the three turbidities.

"Don't you want to become stronger?"

The gray-haired mouse bared its teeth.

"Then it will make you stronger."

Having said this, the gray-haired mouse disappeared down the road.

As for Du Chengfeng, his peaceful life continued. He worked the mountains during the day and went back to sleep at night. Occasionally, when he felt hungry, he would make a good meal. His life was very fulfilling - and the separation of incense and vows was also developing in a good direction. At least no one in Jishui Town and around Liuhua Mountain would mention Taibai Star and Liuhua Mountain Lord anymore. Only some people who wanted to kill someone would occasionally shout a few words.

"Sure enough, time can heal everything."

Du Chengfeng felt that he had found a solution to the problem. As long as he didn't do anything to make a name for himself, the blessings of incense and prayers would not be able to reach him. As time passed, there would always be new things that would attract people's attention.

As one thing grew stronger, the other weakened. The negative effects of the incense and vows also faded away from him.

As for the amplitude effect of evil spirit, he had overcome it long ago, or most evil spirit masters had actually experienced such a hurdle - after all, the increase in offensiveness brought by evil spirit was more direct, so the negative effects were also more obvious.

If you can withstand it, you are a master of evil spirits. If you can’t withstand it, you are a monster of evil spirits. This is evil spirits.

As for the negative effects of mental strength...

Du Chengfeng couldn't figure out how to deal with this situation.

Pure mental strength brings pure power, but pure mental strength will also make his thinking simple - if this simplicity has a limit, then this is actually not a bad thing. At most, you can just think of it as keeping a young mentality forever. But it is obvious that this simplicity is not necessarily limited.

This is also the most annoying thing for Du Chengfeng. He doesn't want to really degenerate into a baby one day, or even degenerate into a giant monkey in human form.

However, it is extremely difficult to control this evolution. After all, the growth of wisdom comes from the handling of events. The more events you handle and the more difficulties you experience, the more complex and meticulous your thinking will become. But mental strength provides another way to solve the problem, which is to use pure mind in exchange for pure power.

Simply put, if it was just a monkey without intelligence, it would be normal to say that it was stupid.

But what if this stupid monkey could confront guns and cannons head-on, or even smash a battleship with one punch?

At this time, I am afraid no one can say that the monkey is stupid. Many people even have to reflect on what they have done to provoke such an outrageous thing.

Pure thinking brings pure power. Pure power allows people to solve almost all problems by using their fists. When almost all problems can be solved with fists alone, the so-called wisdom becomes a pure decoration.

"If you don't use a knife for a long time, it will get rusty. The same is true for wisdom."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng began to have a toothache.

He did find a way to reduce the negative impact of mental strength, but because he was too strong, he couldn't use this idea.

"You can't make yourself weak, right? What is this? An incognito visit?"

Thinking of his previous experience in Sanshan Town, Du Chengfeng shook his head repeatedly.

At that time, he did not actively use his own strength. Except for the final fight against the Three Mountain Gods, he had not encountered an opponent who could make him truly exert his full strength. From this perspective, perhaps he should find some enemies who could make him unleash his full firepower. Only then could he be considered to have briefly returned to normal.

"So...huh?"

Du Chengfeng, who was thinking, suddenly turned his head and looked at the hillside not far away.

On the hillside, a martial artist with a sword was walking towards him.

"No..." Looking at his current strong and tough posture, and then looking at the determined man in the martial arts world, Du Chengfeng vaguely felt that something was not right.

Even after seeing his appearance, he still dared to come over. Isn't he coming for him?
As it turned out, his judgment was correct.

Just because that martial artist drew his sword against him.

"So you are the Taibai Star...give me your life!"

"Hey, no, I, this."

Du Chengfeng had no idea what was going on. After all, this was too much of an unexpected disaster. He hadn't been anywhere else during this period of time. Apart from eating and sleeping, he was just hiking in the mountains. How come a swordsman suddenly came to take his life?

What on earth is going on? Is this swordsman mentally ill?

"So can you please explain clearly what happened to me?"

"die!"

The swordsman's answer was increasingly fierce sword moves.

With sword energy flying everywhere and murderous aura flying everywhere, the swordsman seemed to be quite skilled - but no matter whether it was the flying sword energy or the flying murderous aura, none of them could touch Du Chengfeng. This kind of attack was too crude for him, and he could dodge it all without even moving.

However, Du Chengfeng still couldn't stand this kind of passive beating.

He also has a temper, especially when the swordsman even threatens him.

"Okay, Liuhua Mountain is your territory. After I kill you, I will kill all the people living at the foot of the mountain!"

When the swordsman said this, Du Chengfeng couldn't stand it.

What do you mean by kill them all? Does this swordsman really think he is so powerful?

"I'm warning you, you'd better calm down."

Du Chengfeng stood up with a frown on his face.

"If you don't calm down, I'll fight back."

"kill!"

The swordsman's answer was a thrust of his sword.

The long sword stabbed Du Chengfeng's fingertips and broke into three pieces on the spot, while the swordsman was hit by a punch in the face.

It was just a light punch, not even a heavy punch. Du Chengfeng controlled his strength very carefully. He also wanted to find the swordsman to find out what was going on.

But who would have thought that the swordsman couldn't even withstand a mere light punch.

With a loud bang, the swordsman's brain burst instantly and he was deader than dead.

"Hey, you..."

Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.

Just now when he saw the swordsman wielding the sword, he thought he was an expert, but now it seems... How could such a weakling want to kill him?
"Are you crazy?"

Feeling the vague evil spirit floating towards him, Du Chengfeng shook his head.

Then he picked up the swordsman's sword.

Fortunately, although the swordsman died, with the sword, he could at least understand what happened.

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng simply started to polish the sword.

There is nothing special about the memories attached to the long sword. It is just the ordinary life of an ordinary swordsman. Buy a good sword, practice martial arts diligently, be a bodyguard as your main job, and do bone setting and massage as your side job - this is also a common way for many people in the martial arts world who have no connections to make money. They either sell their martial arts or rely on their understanding of the human body to act as a half-doctor.

At least after seeing this, Du Chengfeng still couldn't figure out how he could make an enemy with this swordsman. After all, they were all just common people and it was up to them to stay out of each other's way.

However, he and the swordsman are just ordinary people, which does not mean that all people in the world are the same.

It was on this day that the swordsman went out as a bodyguard and offended bandits. Although most of the bandits were actually related to the escort agency and they would have been fined by just saying a few words and paying a toll, this group of bandits were from outside the area and were determined to make a big profit by sheer bloodshed - so this was the time for the swordsman to show his skills. He killed half of the people on the opposite side with his sword, and the remaining bandits fled in panic.

With such efforts, the swordsman was naturally appreciated by his employer. After the mission was completed, he was even paid extra money to reward his bravery.

And the swordsman was naturally happy, or at least he was happy at this moment.

With the money in his pocket, the swordsman went back home, thinking that he had some savings, and perhaps he could use the money to support his mother at home, or maybe he could use the money to build a house, marry and have children, and pass down the family line - from this point of view, this swordsman was even more humane than Du Chengfeng. After all, Du Chengfeng at least had never thought about marrying and having children.

But when the swordsman returned home, something big happened.

The remaining bandits actually rushed into the swordsman's house and hacked the swordsman's entire family to death. Although the swordsman also fought bravely with his sword, these former defeated enemies suddenly became extremely fierce. They wielded their weapons like gods descended to earth, and soon hacked the swordsman all over his body.

But they did not just kill the swordsman because they wanted to torture him.

"This is the power that Taibai Star gives us! Aren't you strong? Come on! Keep standing up!"

The leading bandit grinned as he cut wounds on the swordsman's body one after another.

"You can fight, right? Keep fighting!"

The wounded swordsman was unable to stand up again. He could only watch the gang of thugs walk away.

The fire of hatred burned in the swordsman's eyes, and he remembered the name Taibaixing.

"Hey! No! It's none of my business!"

Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember knowing any bandits, nor did he remember giving power to anyone - if he must teach someone something, he did teach some radio gymnastics for physical exercise, but how could he use that thing to hit people?
Who is doing things under his name? Who is destroying his reputation?
"Wait! Fame!"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng quickly put down the cheap sword in his hand and began to feel the power of incense and vows wrapped around his body.

It was at this time that he realized that the power of the incense and vows that had been gradually fading away had become stronger again without him noticing!

And this trend of getting stronger... is even stronger than the incense and prayer power of Jishui Town! Even if Sanshan Town is added, it is still the same!
"what happened?"

Du Chengfeng frowned when he sensed something was wrong.

Who is using his name to do things? Who is helping him become stronger?
