(Second Update: Little Rice Dumpling said, "If you don't kill people when you practice the sword, you're acting like a hooligan. What's your posture?")
Twenty crossbows were fired at the same time. The half-meter-long arrows were extremely sharp and shone with a dazzling cold light. They pierced through the air in an instant, leaving twenty straight traces in the air. They locked onto Chen Zong at lightning speed.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Ferocious and bloodthirsty expressions appeared on the faces of the water bandits. They loved to see the crossbow bolts pierce through their bodies, causing a stream of blood to spurt out.
As bandits who lived on the edge of their blades, they had killed many people during their robberies. They were ferocious.
Hunting Shadow's mind went blank. Even though she was a swordmaster, she had to concentrate fully to avoid one crossbow. It would be difficult to avoid two crossbows. If three crossbows were fired at the same time, the probability of being hit was more than 90%.
If five crossbows were fired at the same time, any swordmaster would die unless the archer was very weak and could not aim accurately. Even if one was wearing heavy armor, one would be injured if not killed, unless the armor covered one's entire body.
Now, the swordsman was locked onto by twenty crossbows and fired at the same time.
He was doomed!
Hunting Shadow planned to dive into the water and take the opportunity to escape. Otherwise, the water bandits would not let her go if she was late.
Just as Hunting Shadow was about to dive into the water, she froze as if she had been petrified. She could not move, but the expression on her face was extremely exaggerated.
Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was wide open. She was extremely shocked.
The water bandits also looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Chen Zong leaped up, and the wooden plank beneath his feet was completely shattered. His entire body was like an eagle soaring in the sky. His figure was incomparably vigorous and agile, and there was an indescribable sharpness to it.
In the next breath, the longsword at his waist was unsheathed. A sword light swept out like a gust of wind.
In an instant, the aura of the wind from all directions was attracted and blew from all directions. Everyone's long hair fluttered and their clothes rustled.
Under the light of the sword, the twenty bolts shot by the crossbows paused and then were blown to the side by the strong wind. None of them hit Chen Zong.
The sword light swept through the air like a gust of wind, emitting a shocking rumbling sound. The group of water bandits were thrown off their feet by the gust of wind.
"That's …" Hunting Shadow's body couldn't help but tremble. It wasn't out of fear, but excitement.
Kill, kill, kill!
Since they were water bandits and their mission was to exterminate the water stronghold, Chen Zong drew his sword and showed no mercy.
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, the water bandits were unable to resist at all. The leader who had the strength of a swordsman was the same. He was finished off with a single strike.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Even more water bandits rushed out, howling as they charged forward. The three Fort Masters also charged forward with swords in hand.
The power of a swordsman was completely unleashed, and the sword light was surging and sharp.
However, it was still a sword strike.
Every step he took, he would kill without mercy.
In just a short period of time, the land was filled with wails and cries.
Die, die, die!
More than two hundred people in the Frenzied Shark Water Stronghold were all dead souls under Chen Zong's sword.
With a gentle shake, the blood on the sword flew out and landed on a pillar more than ten meters away with a thud. The blood splattered everywhere and dyed the entire area. It was a shocking sight.
Sheathing his sword, Chen Zong's killing intent was completely restrained. It was impossible to tell that he had just killed more than two hundred people in one go.
Hunting Shadow trembled all over and didn't dare to approach, fearing that Chen Zong would also kill him with a single strike.
"Grandmaster … This swordsman is definitely a swordsman grandmaster." Hunting Shadow was terrified and excited at the same time.
"Come on up," Chen Zong said to Hunting Shadow.
"Okay, okay, okay." Hunting Shadow nodded fearfully. He rowed closer, exerted force in his legs, and jumped up quickly, landing on the wooden platform of the water stronghold.
Seeing corpses everywhere and blood flowing through the cracks of the wooden boards, Hunting Shadow's scalp tingled.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen dead people before, but it was her first time seeing so many fresh corpses all at once. The shock she felt was unimaginable.
But the swordsman looked as if he was used to it. It didn't feel like he was in the middle of a field of corpses, but more like he was touring his back garden.
It was absolutely creepy.
"Hurry up and find the treasures of the water bandits." Chen Zong's voice rang out. Hunting Shadow trembled all over, and his eyes lit up when he heard the words "treasures".
What could be more exciting than treasures?
He immediately took action, looking for prey like a cheetah, and the prey was the treasures.
Chen Zong also began to search.
He had acted a little too fast just now, and his killing went very smoothly. He forgot to leave one person behind to ask where the treasures were.
It turned out that Chen Zong wasn't as good as Hunting Shadow when it came to finding treasures.
"Found it, found it." Hunting Shadow's excited voice rang out. It sounded like he had gained a lot.
In a flash, Chen Zong approached quickly.
The treasures of the water bandits weren't hidden very well.
There were three big boxes in total.
The three big boxes had been opened, reflecting dazzling light. Hunting Shadow stood in front of the boxes, trembling with excitement.
It was the first time he had seen so many treasures. It was the first time he had seen so many treasures.
Chen Zong flashed and appeared on the side.
One box was filled with silver sword leaves, the other with golden sword leaves, and the last box with jewelry, which seemed to be very valuable.
Chen Zong couldn't help but nod. Sure enough, he had taken the right path.
These treasures added together were definitely more valuable than a hundred Golden Sword Leaves. This was true wealth. In that case, he wouldn't need to worry about money for a period of time. He could put his heart and soul into searching for other Sword Mark Imprints.
After counting, there were a total of one thousand Silver Sword Leaves and five hundred Golden Sword Leaves. Of course, five hundred Golden Sword Leaves were equivalent to fifty thousand Silver Sword Leaves, which could be considered a huge fortune.
As for the jewelry, Chen Zong didn't know its value. Hunting Shadow was more professional in this aspect.
"If we sell these jewelry, it'll be worth at least 500 golden sword leaves." Hunting Shadow's eyes lit up.
The two quickly packed up the treasures and took them away. In addition, they cut off the heads of the three chiefs of the Crazy Shark Water Bandits. They were going to the mayor's mansion in Red East City to exchange for rewards.
After all, there were 100 golden sword leaves. It was a great fortune.
On the way, Hunting Shadow was very excited. It wasn't that she didn't think of running away with the jewelry on her back, but she didn't dare.
"Are you a sword master?" Hunting Shadow couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"What do you think?" Chen Zong asked back, trying to get information from Hunting Shadow.
The so-called swordsman was a swordsman who had gone through hard training and mastered a sword technique. When facing ordinary people, he could fight one against ten.
As for swordmasters, they had already cultivated their sword techniques to a shocking level. They also had extraordinary physical fitness. Combined, their combat power would be even more shocking. They could fight at least ten swordmasters by themselves.
Above swordsman was sword master.
Sword masters had already begun to condense their own aura and could use it to attack the opponent. If a swordmaster faced the sword master's aura, his strength would be greatly affected and weakened.
At the level of sword master, one could use their aura to affect others. Especially ordinary people facing the sword master's aura, they would lose all ability to resist. They would kill however many there were until the sword master's aura was exhausted.
Above Sword Hero was Sword Master, also known as Sword Dao Grandmaster. This was because Sword Dao Grandmaster had cultivated their sword techniques to the extreme. Their aura was also condensed to the extreme. With this, they could draw upon the power of heaven and earth.
Sword master was also known as the Thousand Man Enemy. Of course, they weren't ordinary people. They were well-trained soldiers. A thousand people couldn't do anything to a sword master.
As for those above the Sword Dao Grand Master, they were known as the Sword Dao Grand Master, also known as the Enemy of Ten Thousand.
When Chen Zong attacked earlier, he had used the sword of the Way of the Wind, which caused waves of wind aura to gather. That was why Hunting Shadow had said that he was a sword master.
Chen Zong didn't admit or deny it. However, he made a comparison in his heart. He shouldn't be at the level of sword master, but beyond it.
As for whether he was at the level of sword master, well, it was hard to say.
Thinking about it, the strength of a thousand sword mark imprints should surpass that of sword master. As for whether he was at the level of sword master, it was hard to say.
If he wanted to know his strength, he would find a sword master and fight.
"Sword master …" Hunting Shadow was dumbfounded. She didn't know where a sword master was. She didn't even know if he was a sword master. At least, there were no sword masters in Red East City. It was hard to say if there were any sword masters.
It was rumored that the mayor was a sword master, but there were also rumors that said he was only a swordmaster.
In any case, Chen Zong returned to Red East City with his loot.
He left the jewelry to Hunting Shadow. She was very good at it. As for the reward, Chen Zong went to collect it himself.
Soon, he got a hundred golden sword leaves. Chen Zong rejected the mayor's invitation.
If he wanted to be recruited, he wouldn't have chosen to be a lone traveler. He would have chosen to be a member of a kingdom's organization.
Hunting Shadow also successfully disposed of the box of jewelry.
"What a pity. If I brought it to a big city, I would definitely get 30% more," Hunting Shadow mumbled.
The box of jewelry sold for a total of 700 golden sword leaves.
That was a total of 1,300 golden sword leaves and 1,000 silver sword leaves.
"These 100 golden sword leaves are your reward." Chen Zong put the 100 golden sword leaves in front of Hunting Shadow.
Hunting Shadow was very excited. Although she had proposed a fifty-fifty split, she didn't dare to think too much about it after considering Chen Zong's identity as a Sword Dao Grandmaster. She originally thought that she would get ten golden sword leaves at most, but she didn't expect to get a hundred golden sword leaves. It was an unexpected surprise.
For Hunting Shadow, 100 golden sword leaves was something she had thought about but never got. The most she got was three golden sword leaves.
"Do you want to make more money?" Chen Zong asked with a smile.
"Of course," Hunting Shadow answered instinctively. Then she took a few steps back. "That kind of thing … I won't do it."
Chen Zong was slightly dazed. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What I want you to do is find someone." Chen Zong pretended not to understand. He said slowly, "Find someone who has this symbol on the back of their hand or uses this kind of long sword."
Chen Zong didn't show the sword mark on the back of his hand. Instead, he drew it on the white paper with a pen. It was delicate and lifelike.
