Chapter 90 The Last Rain Before Winter
Click!
Thunder rumbled, lightning snakes streaked through the air, strong winds blew, and heavy rain fell like a waterfall.
Li Yuan walked in the heavy rain, and fine raindrops flowed down his hat.
"Level 3 Heavy Hammer!"
The heavy rain in late autumn was quite chilly, but he felt nothing at all. It seemed as if a fire was boiling inside him.
Among the five major control effects of the hexagonal hammer, the hammer talent and weight of a hundred pounds overlap with the wind-breaking hammer, and the jade copper hammer also has the blessing of breaking the horizontal armor.
Therefore, before leaving the forge, he had already taken control of this third-order heavy hammer and replaced it with the relatively overlapping Hundred Refined Wind-Breaking Hammer. As he took each step, he was also feeling the new blessing of control.
[Force like wind and thunder: The one who wields the heavy hammer is gifted and strong. When he swings the hammer, it is as fast as the wind and as powerful as thunder.]
[Attack and break armor: The heavy ones are naturally strong, and the heavy hammers dance wildly in the wind, so they are strong and can break armor...]
[Brave and fearless: Those who are good at using heavy hammers can swing their hammers with great force and without fear. Even if tigers line up in front of them, they will not be afraid...]
"A third-level heavy hammer is much stronger than two second-level ones. It is worthy of being the last masterpiece of the master craftsman!"
As he took a step forward, Li Yuan felt extremely happy.
Every time he controlled a weapon, he felt like he was reborn, and this third-order heavy hammer was especially so.
His speed and strength were further improved, and his force like wind and thunder seemed to have some effect on his body.
boom!
He took a step down, the accumulated water splashed, and a powerful explosive force burst out instantly, and the heavy rain like a waterfall was splashed by him.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Li Yuan ran faster and faster, with the nine palm controls on his body. Even without the hammer in his hand, his every move was greatly enhanced.
boom!
As he was running, the internal energy under his feet exploded, his feet left the ground, and he leaped forty meters away. The wind and rain even made the ground hurt.
"A hundred meters in less than three seconds! Tang Tong and Yu Zhen's speed are not as fast as mine! If I can control the Liuhe Boots, my speed will be much faster!"
Li Yuan was excited, but he also knew where his shortcomings were.
His physique was not as good as Qin Xiong who had achieved minor success in the Seven Star Horizontal Body Training, and he was probably no match for a body-tempering warrior who had trained for decades. His internal energy was also very weak and he could not withstand several outbursts.
and so……
"One strike will kill, if you miss, retreat!"
In the heavy rain, Li Yuan had a clear understanding of himself and determined his own fighting style.
Call ~
Without opening the door, Li Yuan climbed back to the courtyard without exerting much effort. He took off his hat and hung it in front of the door, went in, and changed his clothes.
He was still wearing the same common style of coarse linen clothes, but this time he did not need to cover his face with rags. Instead, he took out a human skin mask and put it on.
"Squeak~"
The little mouse hid under the bed, screaming in fear.
Reflected in the bronze mirror was a middle-aged man with a tall stature and long arms and a sallow complexion. He carried a nearly two-meter-long wind-breaking hammer on his shoulder, looking strong and dangerous.
"Prepare the Liuhe boots. When the time comes, replace the jade copper hammer and clear out the incense burner. If something goes wrong, the ashes in the incense burner can also have a miraculous effect..."
Looking in front of the mirror, Li Yuan kept checking for omissions and preparing all possible means.
Whenever he went out on a rainy night, he would not dare to be careless. He wanted to remove obstacles that threatened him, not to fight to the death with anyone.
After thinking about it, he covered his face with the rag and took out a blood-enhancing pill and swallowed it to replenish his qi and blood.
He has not stopped taking pills these days, and although his internal strength has improved a lot, the amount he gained from real pills is really not much.
"Squeak~"
Suddenly, the little mouse screamed again.
call!
Outside the house, there was a sound of breaking wind and falling to the ground.
"here we go again!"
Li Yuan's eyelids drooped.
This was the third time that this mysterious swordsman had come in unannounced. He had already been seriously affected by this.
A few days ago, he didn't dare to take off his clothes before going to bed, and he always kept a hammer at hand.
"Li Yuan, come out, the Lord wants to see you!"
In the wind and rain, Feng Gang wore a bamboo hat and looked very unhappy.
Worshiping the gods is naturally a good thing, as it can greatly improve one's martial arts prowess. However, there will be at least a struggle period of several months before and after worshiping the gods, which will definitely affect the forging of the Autumn Water Sword.
And a few months later, when everyone else knew about Li Yuan, whether he could get the sword he made was another matter.
He was very reluctant in his heart and spoke in an aggressive tone, but in the house, there was no response except the squeaking of mice!
"Li Yuan!"
Feng Gang's face darkened:
"Master Xiang has something important to do tonight. If you delay us, neither you nor I will be blamed! Come out quickly..."
The house was dead silent, even the mice had stopped chirping.
"Red Gold will have to find another way..."
Li Yuan stood holding a hammer, his whole body was red under his sackcloth clothes, his internal energy flowed between his shoulders and arms, and his heart felt a little cold.
It was naturally impossible for him to meet the incense master of the evil cult.
"You are so brave! I called you and you dare not say anything?"
Feng Gang's face darkened. He took a step forward and flicked his sleeves. Strong wind mixed with rain pushed the wooden door open.
"You... huh?!"
Before he could utter an angry rebuke, he was already surprised. A dark shadow floated silently and struck his chest with great speed.
"act recklessly……"
Slightly startled, Feng Gang sneered in his heart.
How dare a mere apprentice with no internal strength attack him?
So what if the lower-level hammer technique is perfected? Look at how light this hammer is...
Feng Gang waved his sleeves, ready to teach this kid a lesson, but the next moment, his eyes widened and a biting chill surged into his heart.
"boom!"
It was like a loud thunderclap in the yard.
"I?!!"
Feng Gang felt as if he had been hit by a battering ram. He instantly lost the feeling of his arm and felt a pain in his chest.
He flew backwards at a faster speed than when he came, and with a loud bang, he crashed into the earthen wall of the yard. He felt like a broken water bag, with blood gushing out.
How can this be? !
Amid the splashing mud, Feng Gang was completely stunned. His arm and chest were shattered!
"you?!"
Strong winds arose in the heavy rain.
Li Yuan suddenly jumped up and swung the heavy hammer down again after hitting the target.
As powerful as wind and thunder, and as heavy as a hundred kilograms!
boom!
Flesh and bones turned to mud!
Li Yuan didn't even notice any resistance when he swung the hammer. The hammer hit the bluestone ground like a swing in the air, splashing a large amount of muddy water with blood.
"Body hardening or internal strength? He survived the first blow, so I'm afraid it's internal strength? Internal strength, a sneak attack only needs two hammers, a frontal attack...
It’s better to launch a sneak attack! "
Li Yuan glanced coldly at the corpse that looked like mud.
Inside the house, the hammer he had been building up for a long time was actually more violent than the second one. He brought it down with ease, an outburst of all his strength including his internal energy.
He was confident that he could bring down a stone wall, and even he was surprised that his body could withstand a hammer.
At least, he thought to himself that he would never be able to withstand his own blow, no, half of it...
"The physique of a warrior with inner strength is so amazing? Or is it the inner strength..."
He changed his mind and did not delay his actions. He quickly searched the body and threw the long sword and waist bag into the incense burner in the space of holding soldiers. Li Yuan held the body in one hand and the hammer in the other.
Run quickly into the wind and rain.
"call!"
After crossing a few streets, Li Yuan casually threw the unknown swordsman's body into the stinking ditch, turned around, and headed towards the weapon forging shop.
After killing the suspected strong swordsman with two hammer blows, he became more confident. Thinking back to the battle on the training ground that day, he thought to himself that he had a great chance of winning even in a head-on fight.
If it's a sneak attack...
"what!"
Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped and looked towards the inner city. He seemed to hear faint screams, and more than one.
"...The group of people from the Evil God Cult? Has the Fragrance Master taken action? Who are they going to attack, Lady Fang, or that Ghost-faced Prajna?"
Thinking of what the unknown swordsman said, Li Yuan frowned, then slowed down his pace and slowly walked towards the weapon forging shop.
If it was really the incense master who took action, Cao Yan would probably have to take action as well...
……
"what!"
There were screams in the wind and rain. In the backyard of Lu's residence, Fang Yunxiu, who had not yet fallen asleep, keenly noticed that the screams seemed to be very close to Lu's residence?
Swish!
She moved quickly, holding her sword and dashing into the rain. Just as she climbed onto the roof, she felt her shoulders sink. Han Chuijun's voice drifted over:
"Thinking back then, Junior Sister Ku Yue was known as the Cold-Faced Rakshasa, as famous as me. How could she have taught you to be such a soft-hearted person?"
"Mr. Han..."
Fang Yunxiu's face turned pale and she didn't dare to refute.
"The sect disciples are somewhat less experienced than the subordinates who are scheming against each other all day long. Therefore, I always teach you to fight with strength instead of intelligence."
On the roof, Han Chuijun stood with his hands behind his back.
Except for his bamboo hat, his clothes were dry and clean, without a drop of water on them. The wind and rain howled, but seemed unable to get close to him, and disintegrated into clouds of rain and mist.
"People like Cao Yan and Lu Yunqing are smart and good at dealing with people. They make the most of their advantages as local bosses."
Under the bamboo hat, the ghost face glowed red. Han Chuijun looked out from afar outside the palace and seemed to see teams of city guards scattering like ants. Wherever they passed, there was only the flash of swords and blood:
"The only way to break the situation is to kill!"
The ways of the world and how to deal with things are not something that can be taught in the mountains. No matter how talented a martial artist is, he will not be able to understand the ways of the world by practicing martial arts behind closed doors.
He understood this principle decades ago.
When it comes to playing tricks, he doesn't think he can definitely win against these local tyrants, but why bother?
Some chickens and dogs, just crush them to death.
Who hasn't got an advantage yet?
"Disciple... remember this!"
Fang Yunxiu lowered her head, the rain wet her clothes and hair.
She did not agree with Han Chuijun's words. If everyone in the Divine Weapon Valley acted like him, they would have been deprived of their fiefdoms and labeled as heretics long ago.
"Lihe Martial Arts School, Sanhe Gang, Chai Gang, Fishing Gang, Weapon Forging Shop, Yizi Inn... Inner and Outer Cities, there are sixteen forces. Go visit them one by one!"
After taking a look at the candlelit Lu Mansion, Han Chuijun paused for a moment:
"Here, let me help you take care of it!"
"Mr. Han!"
Fang Yunxiu's face turned pale with anger; the thing she was most worried about was revealed.
boom!
She wanted to say something else, but she felt a pain in her back and flew into the air.
"Master Han, leave the Lu Mansion to me. I will give you a satisfactory explanation!"
Looking back in the rain, Fang Yunxiu was worried, but did not dare to stop. He stepped on the eaves and rushed into the rain with sword in hand.
"By the way, there's no need to go to the forge. I have to go take a look at that talented hammer master you mentioned. I hope you won't let me down..."
Hearing Han Chuijun's voice, Fang Yunxiu's heart tightened slightly, but she did not look back. She walked on the roofs along the street, and heard screams and shouts of killing everywhere.
Even in the heavy rain, she could smell the blood.
She could hear Sha Pingying's roar from several streets away. This junior fellow was an expert in horizontal training. He wielded a long iron stick like the wind and was ruthless, quite like Han Chuijun in the past.
"Mr. Han wants to wipe out Gao Liu's gang..."
Fang Yunxiu felt cold in her heart, but she could only charge in with her sword. At least, she had to protect Lu Bailing, her sister's only flesh and blood.
Her only relative...
……
Huhu~
The wind and rain became more severe.
Han Chuijun tapped the eaves lightly and swooped down towards the outside of the city like a hawk.
"Lei Chaozong, hey, it's just a small fish, just eat it reluctantly."
Walking through the rain, Han Chuijun stretched out his arms and moved very fast.
His energy and blood were vigorous, and his whole body was like a burning furnace. No wind or rain could get close to him. If they got a little closer, the rain would turn into mist.
"Well, now that we're together, it's worth it that I let you go before..."
Even though they were halfway across the city, Han Chuijun could already smell the nauseating smell of incense.
In Fajiu Mountain, he hit the fish with just one blow of the hammer, but it was not that he failed to kill the fish. Instead, he killed the slightly larger fish, and the other fry scattered and fled, so it would take a hundred times more effort to catch and kill them.
He has been fishing for many years, how could a fish get off the hook?
……
"It smells like blood!"
Near the inner city, in a yard, Lei Chaozong dropped a half-torn leg of lamb and climbed onto the roof without making any movement.
"Master Xiang, it's the city guard!"
At this time, someone came in panic in the rainy night:
"Thousands of city guards are killing people in the city. It's Han Chuijun. Han Chuijun is here!"
Figures rushed out of the alley, and their expressions changed at this moment.
"Thousands of city guards? Are all the city guards from the nearby counties here?"
Through the rain, Lei Chaozong could hear shouts and screams, and the smell of blood was extremely strong, as if he was completely surrounded.
"He mobilized the nearby city guards, not to search for Nian Jiu, but to deal with me!"
Lei Chaozong's heart sank, and he wanted to charge forward, but seeing the fear on his subordinates' faces and the dull pain in his chest, he could only grit his teeth:
"Go find Cao Yan, get the weapons, and leave the city!"
……
……
"call!"
The Blacksmith Shop was very quiet on a rainy night, with only a few lights on in the backyard.
Li Yuan was familiar with the route. He bypassed the guards and entered easily. On the way, he also glanced at Zhang Ben, who was fast asleep.
"I'm afraid that these dozen forces inside and outside Gaoliu County are all related to the Evil God Cult. If the incense master takes action, he can only target the people of the Divine Weapon Valley..."
Hiding in a corner, Li Yuan did not rush to the backyard, but lay dormant on the side, waiting.
As the only two strong warriors in Gao Liu, Cao Yan would definitely move if the incense master made a move...
……
"Something is wrong in the inner city. Did Lei Chaozong take action in advance? No, he just sent someone to summon me. If he was going to take action, it should have been a few days later, right?
Could it be that Han Chuijun..."
In the backyard, on the roof, Cao Yan was holding an umbrella, feeling a little scared.
"What about Feng Gang... Never mind. Since Lei Chaozong wants to see me, I will go see him first. If it is really Han Chuijun who took action..."
