Chapter 13

In the late autumn of the northern lands, the wind and the cold wind would always blow at the same time, causing the world to be bleak. Grass and trees would fall, and wild geese would return to the south. Withered, yellow, lonely, and cold became the only color in the world.

In this silence, the red escort flag on the carriage fluttering in the wind was particularly eye-catching.

The escort shouted the escort number, his rough and vigorous voice accompanied by the thousand miles of autumn wind, spreading far and wide in the mountains, "Changfeng is mighty … Changfeng is mighty …"

Those who had been escorting for years knew that real escorts would never fight the local bullies that were not to be trifled with. They would fight all the way to the destination, no matter how many people there were in the escort agency.

Most of the escort agencies that could establish themselves in the jianghu were the head escorts who had made a name for themselves in the jianghu. The heroes of the jianghu also knew that these people were not to be trifled with. Therefore, when this escort agency passed through their territory, they restrained their subordinates from causing trouble.

If there were bandits from a stronghold who wanted to test the background of an escort agency to see if it was an undeserved reputation, it would be the head of the agency who would come out and fight with the head escorts. If the head escorts were difficult to deal with, in order to prevent both sides from suffering losses, they would tacitly allow the other party to pass through safely from then on. The escort agencies knew how to conduct themselves. If they passed through this territory again, they would prepare a generous gift and send it to the local bullies.

Changfeng Escort Agency's reputation in the jianghu was well-known enough, so the jianghu's small fries would not dare to provoke them. Of course, this also meant that if someone really dared to come, they would either be stupid or not to be trifled with.

Therefore, when a person walked into sight in this seemingly withered, yellow, and wind-filled world, Lambda Orionis's first reaction was to stop the escort team. He walked forward, cupped his fists, and said, "This humble one is the head shopkeeper of Changfeng Escort Agency, Lambda Orionis. People in the jianghu call me the Golden Abacus. I wonder if Your Excellency …" Before he could finish, Lambda Orionis stopped. This was because he had just realized that the person standing in front of him was a child who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

A child, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, how could he possibly be here to steal the goods?

Lambda Orionis took a closer look at the child, who was only as tall as his chest. The child's clothes were extremely luxurious. The white brocade robe was embroidered with gold thread. The material and embroidery were not something an ordinary family could afford. However, the close-fitting cut and the sword at the child's waist indicated that the child was a member of the martial arts world.

So he was a disciple of a martial arts family?

But if he was a disciple of a martial arts family, why would he appear here alone in front of the escort team of Changfeng Escort Agency?

For a moment, the experienced Lambda Orionis was a little hesitant. He knew that this escort mission was of great importance and he could not afford to make even the slightest mistake. Therefore, he had to be careful when dealing with any unexpected situations.

Just as Lambda Orionis was about to speak again, a figure 'flew' from afar and landed in front of the escort team. Of course, before he landed, he realized that the escort team had stopped and that he was not the one who had stopped them.

It was a little awkward.

But that did not stop the person from shouting in an extremely domineering manner, "Where are Guo Qingyun and Cheng Feng? Tell them to come out!"

Compared to the luxuriously dressed son of a wealthy family, the person in front of him seemed to be here to pick a fight. Lambda Orionis was secretly on guard. He cupped his fists and saluted. Just as he was about to say something, the person flew straight to one of the escort carriages and smashed the carriage's roof with a wave of his hand. When he saw that there were only a few boxes of goods, he was furious. He scanned the surroundings again and saw that there was a carriage that seemed to be used to transport a person. He said, "Tell the person in the carriage to come out!"

There were very few people who knew that the Changfeng Escort Agency was actually escorting a person, except for those 'enemies' that the old man of the Yun family had been guarding against when he was injured.

Obviously, the person in front of him did not come with good intentions. He knew that there was someone in the carriage and that the person they were escorting this time was a living person. Therefore, this person was very likely to be one of those 'enemies'.

Shang Liu did not immediately answer the person's question. The other party was obviously impatient, and he immediately sent a palm strike towards Shang Liu. Shang Liu felt that there was no need for him to probe further. This was a robbery, so there was no need for him to talk nonsense. Just do it!

Holding the golden abacus, Lambda Orionis pounced forward.

Lambda Orionis was nicknamed the Golden Abacus by the people in Jianghu. Other than being an accountant in Changfeng Escort Agency, he also had the ability to turn the beads of an abacus into a hidden weapon. However, in front of this person, his ability was obviously useless. This was because the robber's internal strength was so strong that it directly sent the beads of an abacus flying. The broken beads of an abacus even accidentally injured a few escorts from Changfeng Escort Agency. The person also used the momentum to split open the carriage that seemed to be used to transport a person. In the end, he found that there was no one inside. He suddenly realized and said angrily, "Good, so it's a real and fake escort!

Haha, according to my temper, all of you will die … "In fact, he wanted to say more, but he decided to let them go for today. He was going to find Guo Qingyun and Cheng Feng to settle the score. The Changfeng Escort Agency was going to hold a funeral and so on.

In fact, he said this because he did not have time to waste on these people. He had to stop the escort who had already run far away. However, he was also angry that he was fooled, so he wanted to say something ruthless. Of course, this was not purely ruthless because he was already prepared. Based on Guo Qingyun and Cheng Feng's character, if they really wanted to rob this' escort ', it would be impossible for them not to kill.

However, before he could finish his thought, a sword came slashing at him. It was as fast as lightning, causing the robber to instinctively fly to avoid it.

This sword was too fast. Naturally, he was caught off guard. When he dodged this sword, his posture was not very good. He was a little … scared out of his wits. He staggered twice when he landed on the ground.

The robber was furious. He turned around and was about to hit back. However, he saw that the person who attacked him just now was standing on the carriage and looking down at him with a sword in his hand. Well, it was a child who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

Shame, shame, shame. The person who made him lose face was a baby who was still wet behind the ears. This made him lose even more face and dignity.

Enraged, the robber struck out with his palm, intending to kill the child who had angered him. However, what he did not expect was that the child casually swung his sword when he saw his palm approaching. The sword style was extremely exquisite, causing the robber to be completely enveloped by the changes in the sword style. If it were to hit him, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his palm.

The robber was shocked and hurriedly withdrew his palm. Naturally, just like before, the sudden withdrawal of his inner strength made him stagger two steps back. He looked a little embarrassed.

Staring at the child who came out of nowhere, the robber's eyes were vicious. He knew his own situation. With his inner strength, there were only a few people in the entire Jianghu who were stronger than him. However, his external martial arts, sword and knife skills were not very exquisite. His palm skills were the best. However, this child who was at least a generation younger than him had such exquisite sword skills. If this child was given enough time to grow and cultivate his inner strength, would there be anyone who could be his opponent in the Jianghu in the future?

At that moment, the robber's murderous intent rose. He secretly circulated his inner strength and was about to attack.

Tang Qingyu looked at the man in front of him.

Actually, he did not want to draw his sword. It was just a conditioned reflex.

He had been an armed escort for so many years. When he saw a robber, he instinctively swung his sword.

When he stood still and took a closer look, he saw that the robber's face was covered with a layer of chalk-like powder to hide his true appearance. Qi was floating around his body. It was obvious that he was an expert.

The other party seemed to be angry.

If an expert was angry, it was a very bad thing.

Tang Qingyu looked at the sword in his hand and recalled the feeling when he swung his sword.

It was as if the body that was disobedient when Mako Shigeki killed him was finally obedient now.

Everything was in his mind, and he could use it freely as if it was his own arm.

Then, what was in his mind?

Nine Solitary Swords.

After maxing out Wulin Legend, if you wanted to level up any further, you would have to fight dungeon bosses to drop your sect's ultimate skill. Huashan School's ultimate skill was Nine Solitary Swords, while Peripatetic School's ultimate skill was Dark North Divine Arts. Xiao Bai liked how cool Dark North Divine Arts was when he used it to instantly empty an opponent's mana bar. He and Xiao Bai had to grind for half a year to gather all their ultimate skills. There was no helping it. Ultimate skills were bound to the player the moment they were picked up and could not be traded. Moreover, even if they could be traded, the drop rate was too low and the price was too high. Even if they could be traded, the drop rate was too low and the price was too high. The two of them, Xiao Bai, couldn't afford it.

After all, there was still a furious expert who was emitting Qi all over his body and looked as though he was about to kill him. Thus, it was better for us to focus on the level of our Martial Strength and the level of our opponent's Martial Strength.

Nine Swords of Dugu didn't have any 'moves' in Wulin Legend. This sort of swordsmanship used a mathematical method to 'calculate' the weaknesses of each martial art, and then used the most 'effortless' way to counter it.

In Wulin Legend, this was the rule. But standing here, Tang Qingyu thought back to when he killed Mako Shigeki. Tang Qingyu felt like he didn't just learn it according to the rules, he actually learned it.

What did it mean to learn it?

Learning it meant remembering it in one's mind, understanding what it meant, and being able to turn this understanding into action, commanding one's own body to execute it.

So it was just as he suspected. All the things he learned in Wulin Legend, such as Snowwalk, Bone Shrinkage, Nine Solitary Swords, all the things that the game said he 'knew', he 'learned' them in this world that clearly wasn't Wulin Legend.

If Xiao Bai were to describe this situation, it would be commonly known as "cheating".

But at this moment, Tang Qingyu felt fear.

Fear of what?

Fear of 'remembering it in one's mind, understanding what it meant, and being able to turn that understanding into action, and being able to turn that understanding into action'. Was it just 'learning' under a different set of rules?

Or perhaps everything in this world, no, everything in all the worlds, was defined by a set of rules, but the rules were different after they were defined.

And so on and so forth. In another world, he would be struck to death by lightning, like a huge lightning bolt that a fairy would experience. Was it because he violated some of the most basic definitions of the laws of that world — that a dead person could not be resurrected?

There were too many things that he didn't understand. Or rather, he vaguely understood, but he couldn't accurately define this' understanding 'into a set of rules.

Perhaps I should try picking herbs, mining, cooking, fishing, embroidery, printing and dyeing, forging, medicine making, as well as playing the zither, painting and painting, chess … If I "learned" all of these, I would become a "genius" whose name would shake the world. In Xiao Bai's words, I would be using cheats to the point of defying the natural order … Would I be reported and be punished by the System or the natural order?

Tang Qingyu ridiculed himself with a bit of self-mockery.

He didn't want to think about these things, but he forgot that there was an expert in front of him who was covered in Qi and looked like he was going to kill him. Yes, the Huashan school was good at swordsmanship, but its internal strength was relatively weak. Even the school's highest level mental cultivation method, 'Purple Cloud Art', wasn't that good compared to the other famous sects. Its HP and MP recovery effects were average. He had tried it with Xiao Bai in a PVP on the battlefield. The Huashan school's swordsmanship was powerful, and it was very fierce when it cut down the opponent's HP. However, as long as his moves weren't consistent enough, Xiao Bai would seize the opportunity to use a large amount of MP or run out of MP. If he didn't run out of MP, he and Xiao Bai had tried it before. It was guaranteed that the Huashan school's MP would run out first.

Therefore, if I were to fight with this pink-faced escort who seemed to have a lot of internal strength, would I be able to gain the upper hand with my internal strength?

Tang Qingyu was in a serious daze. After he came back to his senses, he was seriously thinking about the battle in front of him. The pink-faced escort was circulating his Qi and preparing to use a big move. After this unexpected delay, it gave Lambda Orionis time to think. After going through all the martial arts masters in his mind, Lambda Orionis suddenly thought of something. He was shocked and shouted at the pink-faced man, "Could it be that you are the Demon God Leng Yifu!?"

When Lambda Orionis spoke, Leng Yifu "woke" up.

He couldn't waste too much time here just because of a moment of anger. The real escort over there wouldn't wait for him to stop them after he fought 300 rounds with them. Therefore, Leng Yifu stared at Lambda Orionis, the group of escorts, and Tang Qingyu. He sneered and said, "I won't argue with you today, but remember!

Guo Qingyun and Cheng Feng will pay for you! "
