The afternoon sun was bright.
In the courtyard, before the three figures finished speaking, they charged at Chen Fan at the same time. Min Chuchu stabbed with his sword, Ning Xi used her staff to block Chen Fan's path, Ning Ji's footsteps were the fastest and most cunning, with a whoosh, he smashed towards Chen Fan's left leg.
His fist hit a shadow. The moment he charged, the stones and mud on the ground flew like a lotus. Chen Fan's figure had already dashed to the side, a bitter smile on his face.
Ning Xi's staff swung upwards but Chen Fan's figure looked tall but he dodged the staff shadow in an instant, using Ning Xi's body to block Min Chuchu's sword. On the other side, Ning Ji's smaller body looked like a running leopard. He pounced on the splashing mud lotus and lowered his body. The small King Kong's punches were like a rainstorm or a tornado, biting Chen Fan's lower body.
On the other side, Min Chuchu who was blocked by Ning Xi's body switched positions and disappeared into Ning Xi's back. In the next moment, she kicked Ning Xi's thigh and then his back. She flipped into the air and her sword covered Chen Fan's upper body.
A rock flew up from the ground and flew toward Min Chuyi. At the same time, Chen Fan bent his leg and swung his arm to block Ning Ji's three punches. Ning Xi swung the stick twice and then punched again. With a loud boom, the flying rock was smashed by Chen Fan's punch and the broken rock flew in all directions.
Ning Xi rushed to the side and then rolled on the ground to avoid the stone rain. Ning Xi pulled Min Chu in the air with a long stick, turned around and caught the stones with his back. At the same time, he threw Min Chu to the side — As the eldest son of the Ning Family, he looked elegant and cheerful. He was upright and gentle. His most convenient weapon was a stick without sharp edges. It was hard for ordinary people to know that his unique skill to save his life was Thirteen Guardians Cross Practice Golden Bell Shield.
Ning Ji rolled on the ground and was still charging back. Min Chuchu followed the force and turned to Chen Fan's back. Only then did Chen Fan let out a sigh.
"Sigh, your fighting style … Can't you learn from me?"
Ning Xi smiled and turned to attack, "Uncle Chen, we are all on the same side …"
Chu Yi also approached from the side. "… I know what I'm doing …"
Ning Ji also rushed back, "… We don't need lime —"
Three figures from three different directions attacked the same point at the same time.
Their figures crisscrossed as the wind from their fists danced in the air. A group of people who were watching from the side were secretly shocked. In truth, Ning Xi and Chu Yi were already 18, their bodies had matured and their internal strength was at the initial stage. If they were placed in the forest, they would have a place for themselves.
Among them, Chuyi was Red Ti's personal disciple. He was supposed to be her daughter-in-law and also her bodyguard. His swordsmanship was the best. Ning Xi was a bit distracted when it came to martial arts, but she had the best view of the big picture. She would block Chen Fan's way with a stick or cover for her friends. On the other hand, Ning Ji's body movement was flexible, and his attacks were cunning like a violent storm. His ability to avoid danger was already ingrained in his bones. In terms of combat intuition, he was even better than his brother and sister-in-law.
This was especially true when the three of them attacked together with great teamwork. If they were in the martial arts world, the average so-called grandmasters would have already been defeated. In fact, there were quite a number of people from the Green Forest who were called grandmasters, but they probably couldn't even block Chu Yi's sword technique, let alone the three of them working together.
"In a few years, Chen Fan won't be able to fight like this …"
"Chen Fan wasn't as strong as Xiaoji when he was 14, right …"
"In a few years, he will be even stronger …"
Everyone was happy as they discussed. Ning Yi also said with his hands behind his back, "Kung Fu is a battle of fine details. Chen Fan broke things, I think he lost this round."
Watermelon laughed and explained to her husband, "Among the three of them, Chu Yi's swordsmanship is the hardest to deal with, so Chen Fan always uses Big Brother and Second Brother to separate her. Xiaoji's attacks are cunning, and she is as slippery as a loach. Chen Fan would throw out heavy punches from time to time. This is because he is afraid that Little King Kong's punches would entangle him, and then it would be endless … Ha, he is also using his full strength. Look, the first to be dealt with will be Xiaoji. Unfortunately, he won't have a chance to use that weapon rack he pulled out … "
Not long after she finished speaking, Ning Ji seized the opportunity to directly hit Chen Fan's ears with his Twin Peaks Piercing Ears at the fifteenth move. The next moment, Chen Fan laughed, which shook his eardrums, and the wind of the fist roared like thunder, blasting in front of his eyes.
Ning Ji had sparred with Chen Fan many times since he was a child, but this was the most dangerous and oppressive one he had ever felt. That whistling fist energy was like an avalanche, reaching him in an instant. His intuition that he had cultivated on the battlefield was warning him loudly, but his body couldn't dodge.
With a bang, like a cloth bag suddenly expanding and vibrating, Ning Ji's body was thrown dozens of feet away, rolling on the ground. Chen Fan's body also miserably avoided Ning Xi and Chu Yi's attacks at the same time, retreating far away. Ning Xi and Chu Yi stopped and looked back. Ning Yi's expression changed too, but the others didn't have much of a reaction. Watermelon said, "It is okay, Chen Fan's foundations are showing."
Ning Ji laid on the ground for a long time before he covered his chest and sat up. His hair was messy, his eyes were dull like he had walked on the border of life and death, but he didn't seem to have many injuries. Chen Fan waved his hands, "Ah … I lost, I lost, I nearly died, I nearly couldn't hold back."
"Look, I said he couldn't take more than 30 moves."
Fang Shuchang smiled and said. Everyone mocked Chen Fan. Chen Fan scolded, "Come and try taking 30 moves!" Then, he went over to check on Ning Ji and patted the dust off his body, "Okay, are you okay … This is different from the battlefield."
While everyone was talking, Ning Ji and Chu Yi came over to thank Chen Fan. Although Watermelon mocked him, he also told Ning Ji to thank Chen Fan.
"… Some people practice martial arts, they often practice on cliffs, in rapids, to feel the subtlety of power between life and death, it's called 'Stealing Heaven's Secrets'. Your Uncle Chen's punch was just right, it probably killed him. In a few years, he won't be able to teach you like this. "
Chen Fan's punch was condensed into one move, it was extremely dangerous but didn't hurt anyone. However, the pressure it gave Ning Ji and the feeling of life and death was real. Of course, this was also because of the timing. If he didn't grab the chance to punch, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state in front of Ning Xi and Chu Yi. Ning Ji thanked him, his face was still ashen white as he sat on the ground, unable to get up, "Hehe … I thought I was going to die …"
Ning Xi interrupted with a smile, "Uncle Chen, punch me too."
Chen Fan squatted on the ground and narrowed his eyes. "Your Thirteen Guardians Brute Training is meant to be beaten. One punch won't work. You have to beat me until you feel like you're going to die. Why don't we start now …"
"Oh, then never mind." Ning Xi smiled, "Let's go eat something else."
Everyone laughed for a while, Ning Ji sat on the ground, still recalling the feeling just now. After a while, Watermelon, Du Sha, Fang Shu Chang, and the others exchanged a few blows with Chen Fan and Ji Qian 'er. In the past, they were familiar with each other's martial arts cultivation, but this time, after all, it had been two years, so they could quickly understand each other's progress.
These years, everyone had been training in the army, training others and training themselves. Even if they were selfish in the past, in the context of war, they had completely gotten rid of it. Everyone had trained the elite team's battle formation, cooperation, and killing. They had a high degree of sorting out and simplifying their own martial arts. After a few years, their cultivation had actually advanced a step further. The current Chen Fan, Watermelon, and the others were no longer inferior to Fang Qifo and Liu Dabiao of the past. In fact, they had even surpassed them.
When they discussed martial arts, Ning Xi and the others mixed in and listened. As they had grown up in such an environment, they didn't find it strange.
After a while, the sun set in the west. Ning Ji took the opportunity to practice a few sets of martial arts on the side, and then everyone sat down to eat noisily. During this time, everyone casually talked about the environment in Chengdu. They occasionally mentioned some names, but Ning Ji had basically never heard of them.
"Those people who came to Chengdu this time, are there really any powerful ones? I think if those old guys who study really have the ability, why can't they be powerful in front of a Female Zhenren … And those who came to participate in the arena, they are all ugly, nothing good. "
Thinking of the procrastination of the two despicable dogs and a bunch of bad guys these days, Ning Ji secretly asked his elder brother while chatting. Chen Fan looked at him and said, "Xiaoji, dogs that bite don't bark. Maybe the ones you see most often bark because they bark too much."
Watermelon's eyes were smiling, and he said, "This child has been hiding something recently. Maybe he has his eyes on a few bad guys and is hiding it from us, wanting to eat alone."
"Really?" Chen Fan looked at Ning Ji, interested.
"No, no, I am now a doctor at the Martial Arts Competition, of course I see such people all day …" Ning Ji widened his eyes.
The group of people looked at him thoughtfully with a faint smile, and after a while, they did not ask any more questions.
Fang Shuchang said, "Although the Wu dynasty is rotten, there are still a few old guys who are really capable and dared to do things, and Dai Mengwei is one of them. Of course, there are many mediocre people in this Chengdu Martial Arts Competition, but the secret report does say that a few good people have sneaked in, and they have not shown up at all. One of them is Xu Yuanzong, who was originally in Hankou. I heard that this time he was invited by Dai Mengwei, but he has not shown up. There are also Chen Wei, Wang Xiangfo from Fujian … Little Ji, if you meet these people, don't get close to them. "
Ning Ji was interested, "Are these people powerful?"
"I can only say that they have their own abilities. And there may be others that we did not hear about. Your Uncle Chen came in advance to better prevent these things. I heard that many people also wanted to invite Lin Eechan over, and the letter must have been delivered, but no one knows whether he actually came or not. "
Ning Ji frowned, "Where did these people go when they resisted the gold?"
Fang Shuchang said, "Some of them participated in the resistance against the Jin army, and some of them just played it safe and hid in the mountains. But speaking of which, these martial artists all have a weakness, what do you think it is? "
Ning Ji frowned for a long time, unable to think of an answer. Ning Yi smiled, "Ning Xi, tell me."
Ning Xi hesitated for a moment, "Is it the flattery of the literati?"
Fang Shuchang smiled and patted his shoulder. Ning Yi nodded, "The habit of valuing the literati and belittling the martial arts has lasted for over two hundred years. The people of the Greenwood Forest have their own set of rules, but they don't have a high position for themselves. Zhou Dong is said to be the best in the Greenwood Forest, when he wanted to become an official, Old Qin didn't even bother to see him. Although he resigned from his position in the Imperial Fist Dojo, the Grand Commandant Residence can still assign him to any position. No matter how strong a hero is, he doesn't think he is stronger than a knowledgeable scholar. But coincidentally, this is a profession that cares about face and reputation the most … "
"In the past, when the people of the Greenwood Forest came to assassinate, they heard a few rumors and came to gain fame. They were all a mob, and they used the old methods of the Greenwood Forest. But this time, Dai Mengwei, Wu Qimei, and the others were really afraid. As they appealed to the world, they also made some requests to some famous people of the Greenwood Forest. For example, Xu Yuanzong. In the past, he always boasted that he was a free man, but when Dai Mengwei suddenly begged him to come to his door, I heard that he couldn't take it anymore and is now hiding in some corner of Chengdu. "
When Ning Yi said this, everyone laughed. Ning Ji nodded thoughtfully. He knew that he couldn't join the actions of these uncles, so he didn't say much.
After dinner, everyone sat in the yard for a while. Ning Ji chatted more with his brother and sister-in-law. Chuyi came here from Zhang Village today, and there were two main things. First, tomorrow was Chinese Valentine's Day, and she came here in advance to celebrate the festival with Ning Xi.
Second, Ning Ji's fourteenth birthday, the exact date was July 13th. It was only a few days, so she brought gifts that her mother, several aunts, siblings, and some friends asked for.
"I can't give it to you today, we'll talk about it later." Chuyi said with a smile.
Speaking of Ning Ji's birthday, everyone naturally knew. When the group sat on chairs in the yard, Ning Yi recalled what happened when he was born.
"Speaking of it, the second son was born on July 13th that year, and he hadn't decided on a name. On July 20th, he received the news that Wu Qimai sent troops south, and then he went north. Until the battle of Bianliang ended, and all kinds of things piled up, and after killing the emperor, he had time to choose a name for him, which was Ji. Regicide and rebellion were feared by the world. Of course, it also meant that he didn't want these stupid things to happen again. "
He recalled the past. On the other side, Ning Ji calculated carefully, and discussed with his brother and sister-in-law, "July 13th, July 20th … Hmm, in this case, I just passed the seventh day of my death, and Lady Zhenren attacked."
In the yard, the yellow light swayed. Everyone, including Ning Yi, fell silent. The sudden silence was like a cold wave.
Then, a few palms hit Ning Ji's head, "What are you saying …"
"Don't talk …"
"You're the seventh day of your death, the seventh day …"
…
"… Twenty … minus thirteen, it's the seventh day of my death."
Ning Ji hesitated, and answered with a puzzled face, not understanding why he was hit.
— I didn't count wrong.
