Soon after Old Cade finished reading it carefully, the broken words scattered in the wind.

Old Cade watched the crow go away and followed him out of the wing.

He looked towards a nearby black glove.

"Go ahead, call the cadres, the envoy is coming to inspect!"

A few miles away, at the edge of the Sleeping Forest, a graceful woman wearing a tattered cloak was slowly moving towards this place.

"Damn it, the magic power in this body has been exhausted...otherwise such an injury can be healed in just one stroke."

"Fortunately, we got rid of that monster witch... How could such a powerful witch appear in such a small place..."

"I remember that the team should have come near here, and it happened to have what I needed..."

"Wait for me..."

……

Although it was only a few minutes, Elena was already a little anxious waiting.

Fortunately, Ryan came out of the forest after a while, holding a horse in his hand.

At this moment, Elena felt that the ordinary face of the boy in front of her had become very handsome.

"Well... no one is selling intact carriages, this is the only one..." Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment and pointed to the cart pulled behind the horses.

"It doesn't matter, just have this."

"Hey, if you give me a little more time, I should be able to buy it... But let me tell you, the boss told me that this is a good horse. When he was young, he was a war horse that stood on the field!"

The boy had obviously never bought such a thing before, and there was still pride and excitement on his face.

Looking at the skinny old horse, Elena was convinced that the boy in front of her had been tricked.

However, I should still be able to carry these three.

"Thank you Mr. Lane for your help, I think we should leave as soon as possible."

"Ah! Yes, we should leave early." The young man struggled for a moment. He looked at the little girl who looked like an adult in front of him. The idea that had been in his mind was finally confirmed, and he said:

"I'd better go with you. It's too dangerous for you to go by yourself. I'm here to protect you!"

"Mr. Cotton will be angry if you do this." Elena looked at the blushing young man and consoled him:

"It's not easy to join such a famous mercenary group... We will find a way to contact you when we get to the city."

"I--"

Just as the young man was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and he turned to look at the woods to one side.

Elena also followed suit.

A man wearing gray gloves ran out of the forest and stood in front of several people.It was the other guard who had left earlier.

"How dare you! How dare you deceive me and kill my brother... I will make you taste life worse than death!"

The man roared angrily as he pulled out a machete and stepped forward, holding it tightly.

How can it be!How could he catch up so quickly? The weight of the three of us would not leave any obvious traces!

Elena was shocked by the unexpected situation and grabbed the two little girls beside her and stepped back.

"You go first! I, I will protect you!"

Ryan said loudly, reaching for a beautiful long sword at his waist, and trembled before successfully pulling it out.

Brother, your voice is shaking.

The man wearing gray gloves looked at the frightened boy in front of him and sneered.

"Are you a coward? You still want to protect others?" Then his expression suddenly changed and he shouted:

"Is it you? It was you who attacked my brother!"

Ryan wondered for a moment, not even that nervous anymore.

"Sneak attack? What kind of sneak attack... You go first, I will stop you!"

The blood in the young man's heart was ignited. He turned his head and tried to persuade the girls to leave first.

There was nothing behind, except for the sound of galloping horses fading away.

Ryan opened his mouth and swallowed the words that just came to his lips.

The legs started shaking again.

Volume 17: [-]. A certain boy’s battle

The young man tried hard to control his hand and try his best to maintain the posture of holding the sword. He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said:

"Brother, can we stop fighting?"

"What do you say?"

The man opposite showed a sinister smile. He roared, raised the machete in his hand, and rushed forward with one step.

It's over.

Ryan looked at the machete in front of him, as if he could imagine himself being cut in half.He mustered up the courage to swing his sword with his eyes closed.

Soldiers!

The sword blades met, and sparks shot out.

I'm alive?

The palm of his hand felt numb, and the young man who took a big step back opened his eyes tremblingly. He saw the man opposite standing there, staring silently at the knife in his hand, and he also followed suit.

There was a gap on the blade of the ferocious-looking machete.

Ryan looked at the sword in his hand. The exquisite hundred-forged steel sword body was like a mirror, and the blade shone with a cold light, completely intact.

"Huh, huh, hahaha, that old man didn't lie to me. It's indeed a high-end product that cost three thousand gold coins."

"You--you brat!"

The guard became even more angry. His face turned red and he was panting like an ox. He raised the machete and struck at the head again.

"Help help!"

Ryan hurriedly raised his sword and parried quickly, his breathing was chaotic, and the steps on his feet were also messed up.

"Go to hell! Boy!" Seeing Ryan's panic, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and attacked even harder.

"Death or death!"

"Go to hell!"

"forgive me!"

"roll!"

"Help...no, you should rest first."

"Huh...huh..." The guard gasped like a bellows, the muscles all over his body were weakened, and the knife in his hand became full of nicks.

He stared at the boy in front of him who was covered in sweat but not injured at all:

"What's the matter with you!"

"Well, maybe you're...too good?" Ryan replied hesitantly, he was no longer nervous at all.Not only was the man in front of him not as good as the captain, he was also not as good as his home sparring partner.

"I'm sorry to say it, but I've already reached the second level of Qi gathering. People around me say I'm a genius... You don't seem to have even reached the first level."

"Achievements in Qi Condensation? Damn it, how old are you?" The guard looked at Ryan in disbelief. His physique was actually very strong. He could easily defeat or even defeat enemies with first-level Qi Condensation whose combat power had not been greatly improved. A warrior who has just entered the second level.

However, when the Qi gathering stage is complete, the increase in the body is already obvious. Not only is the strength and speed far beyond ordinary people, but the endurance is also extremely long.

What's more - the guard glanced at Ryan: the quality of the sword was frightening, and his flawless swordsmanship was able to prevent him in nervous and hasty situations.

"You must not be a nobody." The guard murmured to himself:

"It's worth the effort to kill someone like you."

"How can you possibly beat me now?" Ryan was a little puzzled. He still had the excitement of fighting life and death for the first time in his heart.

The first serious battle was defeating an evil cultist!As the opening of my legendary life, there is no need to poke a needle!

"You'll know after you try it." Having made up his mind, the guard was no longer in a hurry. He slowly took off the gray glove on his left hand.

Snapped!

The gloves were thrown aside casually, and on the exposed back of his left hand was a ferocious bloody magic circle with a devil's roar pattern in the center.

"Lord Hades! Please look after me! I offer my flesh and blood, please give me strength!"

The guard stared feverishly at the magic circle in his hand, and slashed his arm with the machete in his other hand.Blood immediately spurted out and flowed down the arm to the magic circle.

The magic circle that absorbed a large amount of blood burst out with red light, and the devil in the center seemed to be energized. Black-red air flow overflowed along the magic circle and spread to the guard's body.

Oops!

Ryan was shocked to realize that something was wrong, so he subconsciously rushed over and swung his sword.

Bang!

The black-red air flow was like substance, but it felt nothing when struck with a sword.Immediately afterwards, a huge force came and launched Ryan's entire body.

Ryan hurriedly adjusted his posture and looked up.

The black and red airflow on the guard's body has dissipated, replaced by unnaturally bulging muscles with black and red veins on them, which are beating unnaturally.

The guard's whole body swelled up, and his eyes were blood red. His irrational eyes showed the brutality of a beast, and a large amount of saliva flowed from his mouth.

"It's too late for me to beg for mercy now..."

Ryan felt fierce pressure coming from the opposite side.

He realized that this time was different from before. The time had come when he really faced life-threatening danger.

Boom boom boom!

The beast from the opposite side was running towards me in long strides, and its fierce and inhuman momentum gave people the illusion that the earth was shaking.

Ryan's whole body was tense, and the energy in his body was circulating at an unprecedented speed, filling every corner of his limbs.

He lowered his body, kicked the ground, and raised his sword from bottom to top.

The beast swung his fist.

There was no doubt that Ryan's strength was completely defeated. He took a few steps back before releasing his momentum. He felt that his internal organs had been knocked apart, and he coughed several times.

Ryan couldn't care about anything else and looked at his own results first.

There was a medium-deep scar on the guard's arm, which was as thick as an adult's thigh, but within a few seconds the blood stopped flowing out, and the wound even began to heal slowly.

How can it be!

I can cut off even iron with my sword with all my strength, but I only left such a small amount of injuries... and I was also seriously injured. If this continues, I will definitely die first.

How to do how to do?

Am I dying here?

Want to run?But he is faster...cannot leave his back to the enemy...

The premonition of death that was so close in front of him made Ryan's vision darken. He gasped for air and vaguely saw the beast charging towards him again.

A somewhat familiar voice came.

Move on, don't confront him!Contain him!

Am I hallucinating?Miss Elena has obviously left...

By the way, you can't force it.

Ryan woke up immediately. He turned sideways to avoid the charging beast and slashed it with his sword.

Ryan tried to distance himself as much as possible and looked at the beast. As expected, the wounds on his body began to heal again.

"No, if this continues, my energy will be exhausted first." He used all his strength in every movement, and his energy and energy were being consumed violently.

"It doesn't matter, just hold on for a while and I'll create a loophole for you!"

"Ahh! That's easy to say!"
