It turned out that when Dumb hit the energy ball, he was also shocked by the huge energy it contained. He suddenly realized that if he continued to be suppressed by his opponent, he would not have any chance of winning. This man in green was so powerful that he was even more powerful than the chief judge of Xuan Yuan. In order to get back the upper hand, he resolutely used Goris's Wish's first teleportation after cutting the green light ball.
While the man in green was still in shock, Dumb's Sword of Change was already slashing at his head. For the first time, the man in green was in a passive position. At the moment of life and death, the man in green didn't even have time to look back. As he sat down, the lotus made of green fighting energy sank down. Then, he swiped at his waist, and a green light flowed out like a waterfall to meet Dumb's Sword of Change.
The two's skills were similar. One was deliberate, the other was hurried. It was clear who was superior. Two balls of light, one green and one purple, suddenly exploded. The man in green was killed by Dumb. With a boom, he crashed into the ground. The moment his body touched the ground, he drew out the destructive energy from the Sword of Change and blasted a huge pit in the ground. Even so, the meridians in his body were still shaken to a certain extent.
In contrast to him, Dumby was sent flying by the man in blue's power. Because he had the upper hand, he did not suffer too much of a shock. Without any hesitation, Dumb chanted the incantation of the Blood of the Dragon God. "With the Blood of the Dragon God as a guide, open the door of time and space." Although the Blood of the Dragon God couldn't help him attack or defend, the storage function was still there. The black Black Iron Bow was in Dumb's hand.
He took advantage of the time when the man in green was dispelling the energy to draw his bow like a crescent moon. A purple explosive arrow appeared on the dark bowstring. Dumby's mind was completely focused on the man in green who had just steadied himself. Because the man in green was deep in the pit, there was no place to hide. He immediately faced the huge pressure of the Sword of Change.
"Stop!" Shouted the man in green. Dumb was just about to release the bowstring in his hand when he heard the man's shout. Only then did he realize that the man in green was not his enemy. However, he did not retract his energy arrow. He stared at the green-clothed man and said coldly, "Do you admit defeat?" Being able to defeat such a powerful opponent, Dumb could not help but feel excited.
The green-clothed man shook his head and said, "Little fellow, although the energy arrow in your hand is giving me a considerable amount of pressure, if you were to release the arrow, the result would be mutual destruction. However, you are indeed very strong, but you are only on par with me. We are not enemies, so I don't want to become enemies with you. "
With a shake of his right hand, a green light appeared in his hand. It was a soft sword, the peerless divine weapon that was previously wrapped around the green-robed man's waist. The green lightning wrapped around the body of the sword told Dumb that he still had the ability to resist. With the green lotus-shaped energy as a foil, it showed its enormous strength. Dumb knew that if he did not rely on Goris's wish, he would not have been able to seize the initiative so quickly. What the green-clothed man said was the truth. Although he had the enhancement of the Black Iron Bow, this arrow might not be able to defeat the opponent. What's more, his archery skills were …
The green-clothed man saw that Dumb still had no intention of giving up on attacking him and thought that he was unwilling. He casually took off the mask on his head and said, "Dumb, look at who I am."
Dumb fixed his eyes on the pit below and was immediately shocked. The green-clothed man who had fought him to a draw was actually Uncle Harry from Huck Village. There was a trace of a smile on his simple face as he stared at him with a burning gaze. Dumb no longer had any desire to win. His heart was filled with surprise. He quickly dispersed the energy in his hand and sent the Black Iron Bow back into the Godly Dragon's blood. He floated to the side of the pit and involuntarily said, "Uncle Harry, how come it's you?" Harry floated up from the pit and landed beside Dumb. He looked at him with appreciation and said, "You're really a young hero! I didn't expect Tiangang School to have such a talent like you. "
Dumby scratched his head and said, "Uncle Harry, how … how can you have such a profound martial art skill? How can you …" He had never thought that this commoner of Huck Village would have a strength no weaker than his own. Harry faintly smiled and said, "I know you are confused. Since I have revealed my true appearance, I will naturally tell you. Miss Phoenix Slayer, you have been watching for a long time. It's time to come out. Since you want to hear it, then come with Dumb and listen to my story. " At his level, he was naturally very vigilant. He could clearly sense even the slightest movement in his surroundings.
Dumb's mind was focused on Harry. Therefore, he didn't notice Phoenix Slayer's arrival. Only now did he notice Phoenix Slayer, who was hiding several hundred meters away. Although Phoenix Slayer's speed couldn't catch up to Dumb and Harry, she determined that the two of them were heading in the same direction. Therefore, she chased after them from behind. When her elder brother and Harry exchanged blows for the second time, she had already arrived in the vicinity. She hid in the shadows and watched the two of them fight. When she heard Harry call out to her, she knew that she couldn't hide anymore. She floated out and landed in front of Dumb and Harry. Her ice-cold eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of admiration.
Harry faintly smiled and said, "Little girl, your skills aren't bad! Is your thief association's president still Heaven Destroyer? I haven't seen that old man for several decades. "
Phoenix Slayer looked at Harry in confusion and said, "You … How do you know my grandfather? He has already passed away. Now, my father is in charge of the thief association. "
Harry said, "Actually, from your surname and skills, I already deduced that you are a descendant of the Heaven Destroyer family. So it turns out that Heaven Destroyer is already dead. In the past, that old man even stole a treasure from me. "
Phoenix Slayer was startled. He couldn't help but think of a certain person. He asked doubtfully, "You … Who are you?"
Harry looked at Dumb and said, "Actually, I have another title. Perhaps you have heard of it before. I am the Western Sword Saint of the four current Sword Saints."
When they heard Harry's words, Dumby and Phoenix Slayer were so shocked that they were speechless. The Four Great Sword Saints had been famous on the continent for 50 years, and they had never imagined that Harry, who didn't even look 50 years old, was one of the Four Great Sword Saints. Harry looked at their shocked expressions and faintly smiled. "Don't look at me. I'm not an old monster. Actually, I'm already (can't tell how old) old this year. Among the Four Great Sword Saints, I am the youngest, and also the weakest. However, my cultivation technique has the effect of prolonging my youth, so I don't look too old. If it weren't for Dumb's arrival today and those bastards from the Setting Sun Empire causing trouble in the village, I wouldn't have revealed my identity. "
The shock in Dumb's heart lingered for a long time. To be able to become one of the four Sword Saints who stood at the peak of the continent … His mind was in turmoil as he muttered, "So you are one of the four Sword Saints. In that case, you are of the same generation as my grandmaster, Tiangang Kensei. However, what happened to your wife and child? "
Western Sword Saint Harry's face turned red. "It's a long story. About sixty years ago, we four Sword Saints became famous. At that time, none of us were willing to accept each other, so we decided to have a competition to determine the rankings. Tiangang Kensei, that old pervert, relied on his superior strength to become the leader of the four Sword Saints. Eastern Sword Saint Yun Xiao was ranked second. Northern Sword Saint Yutu, that drunkard, was ranked third, and I was at the bottom. At that time, I was originally in high spirits, but the ranking was a huge blow to me. Unconvinced, I set up a competition twenty years later. Then, I found a place to cultivate for a long time. Yun Xiao and Yutu should not be much different from me. And because that old pervert, Di Si, established the Tiangang School, his progress slowed down. In the second competition forty years ago, the three of us were clearly closing the gap between us and him. However, in the end, the rankings did not change. Perhaps it was because we had caught up to him in the second ranking tournament, but twenty years ago, in the third competition between the Four Great Sword Saints, Di Si had once again widened the gap between us and him. I really don't know how he trained, but his True Qi had already completely reached the realm where he could circulate it at will. The three of us, one on one, had no chance of beating him. After three competitions, the four of us built a deep friendship. Although on the surface, none of us were willing to accept each other, in fact, we admired each other. Yutu, Yun Xiao, and I have always treated Di Si as our boss. There is still more than a year's time, and it will be our fourth competition. Sigh … we are all old, perhaps this will be our last competition. "
After a pause, Harry continued, "After the third competition, I had already lost my competitive spirit. No matter how much I trained, I was afraid that I would not be able to match up to those three old fellows. Thus, I had the thought of retiring. Twenty years ago, although I was almost eighty years old, I looked like a man in his thirties on the surface. Thus, I came to this small village. When I first saw this place, I was attracted by the temperament of the villagers and plants here, so I stayed. Speaking of which, I am very ashamed. I have been madly pursuing the peak of martial arts, but after coming here, I actually thought of starting a family. As you can see, my wife has been married to me for almost twenty years, and we have three children. Now, I understand that an ordinary life is what I yearn for the most. This kind of peaceful life is something I never want to change. Hehe, my wife used to be the most beautiful woman in the village. I spent a lot of effort to get her. I'm afraid no one on the mainland would have thought that I, the Western Sword Saint, would settle down in a place like this. Now that I think about it, it's quite strange. Although I didn't deliberately pursue martial arts, my strength has steadily increased over the past twenty years. It's really a blessing in disguise! "
Dumb and Phoenix Slayer listened to the Western Sword Saint's story, and their moods gradually calmed down. From him, Dumb learned the names of his martial ancestor and the other two Sword Saints for the first time. When he heard that the final competition between the four Sword Saints would take place in a year, Dumb couldn't help but recall the third task that Tiangang Kensei had asked him to do. A thought flashed through his mind, and he asked, "Sword Saint, is the competition between the four Sword Saints going to take place in the second month of the 999th year of the Holy Calendar? It's going to take place on the main peak of Tiangang School."
Western Sword Saint Harry softly snorted and said, "Disi even told you this. It seems that even though you're his disciple, your position in Tiangang School is quite high! "
After receiving an affirmative answer, Dumb finally understood who the three friends that Tiangang Kensei had mentioned were. He wanted him to compete against the three Sword Saints! This was an extremely difficult task. Could he really do it? It would be difficult for him to defeat even the weakest Western Sword Saint, let alone the other two. After thinking up to this point, Dumb said, "Uncle Harry, oh no, Grandpa Harry, if I replace my martial ancestor and participate in the competition between the four Sword Saints, what kind of ranking do you think you'll get?"
Harry was slightly startled, and he said, "You'll replace Disi? Your strength is indeed very strong, and Disi must have spent a lot of effort on you. However, with your current strength, you'll at most be on par with me, and your ranking will probably be around third or fourth place. I haven't set foot on the mainland for twenty years, and I didn't expect that a Little Sword Saint like you would appear. However, I reckon that Disi won't allow you to participate. That old man values his ranking much more than I do. How could he be willing to give up the number one position? Dumb, your future is limitless. In another twenty years, you'll probably be able to take over Disi's position as the number one expert in the continent. Work hard, but I don't know if I'll be able to see that day. "
Dumb glanced at Phoenix Slayer, and he thought to himself, 'Do I even have twenty years?' He didn't mention that Tiangang Kensei had ascended to the Realm of Gods. Unless he reached the same level of strength as Tiangang Kensei, he definitely wouldn't reveal this matter. Dumb secretly decided that even if he died, he would maintain Tiangang Kensei's number one position in the fourth competition between the four Sword Saints in 1999. He definitely couldn't disappoint his martial ancestor who had ascended to the Realm of Gods.
Harry said, "The village should be more or less finished. Let's go back. As long as I'm here, even if the Sunset Empire sends an army, they won't be able to do anything. However, you mustn't reveal my identity. I don't want my ordinary life to be disturbed. After participating in the last competition between the four Sword Saints in a year or so, I will never leave this place. "
Phoenix Slayer said, "Sword Saint Harry, did your child learn your profound martial skills?" She hadn't spoken up until now because she hadn't recovered from the shock of hearing the Western Sword Saint Harry personally admit that Dumb also possessed the strength of a Sword Saint. Although she knew that Dumb was very strong, she didn't expect him to possess the strength of a Sword Saint. It was hard to imagine such a young Sword Saint!
Harry shook his head and said, "No, I didn't. After understanding that an ordinary life is the happiest life, how could I allow my child to be dragged into this maelstrom? I only hope that they can live a peaceful life until they die of old age. In the eyes of others, we four Sword Saints have countless halos, but they don't know that our sacrifices are directly proportional to our halos. In order to improve our martial skills to the peak, we gave up a lot of happiness that ordinary people can enjoy. Those so-called consummate skills of mine, if they are lost, then so be it. There is nothing to feel pity about. "
Listening to Harry's words, Dumb seemed to understand something, but he couldn't explain it clearly. The three quickly returned to Harker Village, and the village regained its peace. The corpses and the people subdued by Harry were gone. Clearly, they had been thoroughly cleaned up. Harry quickly tore off his black clothes, revealing the civilian clothes underneath. He had once again become an ordinary farmer of Harker Village.
Dumb said, "Grandpa Harry, you just told me not to kill too much, but you made the villagers throw the subdued people into the river. Won't they still die?"
Harry faintly smiled and said, "No, they won't necessarily die. That is the punishment I gave them. I used battle qi to seal their apertures, causing them to enter a state of tortoise breathing. After five kilometers of the Light-Dark River, the water flow will become flat. When the people who are still alive are brought back to Darkness Province by the current, they will naturally wake up. However, whether they can live to return to where they came from will depend on their luck. Let's see if the heavens are willing to give them a chance to be reborn. Dumb, I don't want you to kill too much for your own good. You must know that every time you kill a person, your heart will become more ferocious. In the long run, not only will it affect the progress of your martial skills, it will also have a negative effect on your heart. Moreover, no matter how bad a person is, it is impossible for him to not have a bit of conscience in his heart. It is better not to kill as much as possible. Every life has its right to live. By the way, you should still call me Uncle Harry. Otherwise, if my wife hears it when I go back, she will be suspicious. "
Dumby nodded his head and said, "I will remember what you said. However, in the face of heinous criminals, I will not be lenient. Killing a bad person is equivalent to saving millions of good people. "
Harry sighed and said, "What you said is also not wrong. We just have different ideas, I hope you can control it well. However, there is no need for me to worry about people who have graduated from Tiangang School. If you do something wrong, I'm afraid that old man Disi won't forgive you. Haha, let's go home. "
Once they entered the house, Harry's wife welcomed them and grabbed Harry's ear. She said, "You old fart, where did you run off to? I looked for you for a long time, but I couldn't find you. I was worried to death." Although her actions were fierce, she could not hide the concern in her eyes. Harry repeatedly cried out in pain and said, "I, I, I just went out to help everyone throw people into the river!"
"Who are you lying to? Both of your sons went to throw people, so why didn't anyone see you? Tell me the truth, where did you run off to? "
Seeing Harry's appearance, Dumb and Phoenix Slayer couldn't help but laugh. The majestic Western Sword Saint had been grabbed by the ear by a peasant woman who didn't know any martial skills, yet he didn't dare to retaliate. If word got out, no one would believe it. Phoenix Slayer took two steps forward and said, "Auntie, don't make things difficult for Uncle Harry. He was afraid that something would happen to us, so he brought us to hide."
Harry hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right, I brought them to hide. My ear, my pitiful ear! Can you loosen it a bit? It's about to fall off. "
Harry's wife loosened her grip and snorted. She said, "Do you know how worried I was when I couldn't find you? I thought that you were tricked by those bastards from the Setting Sun Empire. Hurry up and go to sleep. Sigh, it's all thanks to those two people who can fly. Otherwise, our village would have been finished. I don't even know what will happen in the future. It seems that our peaceful life will be disrupted! "
A trace of warmth appeared in Harry's eyes. He grabbed his wife's shoulder and said with a smile, "Old woman, I know that you care about me. Don't do it again. Didn't that azure-clothed man say that he's our guardian god? Since he's our guardian god, he will definitely protect the village. You don't need to worry anymore. Come, let's go to sleep. " After saying this, he gave his elder brother and Phoenix Slayer a smile and returned to their room with his wife. Looking at their departing figures, Phoenix Slayer muttered, "His choice was correct. Only an ordinary life is the happiest."
The next morning, Dumb and Phoenix Slayer bade farewell to Harry's family after eating breakfast and prepared to leave for the Setting Sun Empire. Harry didn't ask them what they were going to do and accompanied them all the way to the village entrance.
"Uncle, you should go back. We will definitely meet again," Dumb said as he looked at Harry, who was dressed like a farmer.
Harry nodded and said, "Brat, you must come for the fourth Sword Saint Competition! I'm afraid that if Yutu and Yun Yi saw that Old Disi had such an outstanding disciple, they would definitely be envious! Alright, you can go on your way. If you get tired of the continent one day, you can come and settle down with me. We can be neighbors for a few dozen years. "
Dumb wanted to tell Harry about the thousand-year calamity of the continent, but when he recalled Harry's satisfied smile, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
After bidding farewell to Harry, Dumb and Phoenix Slayer each harbored complicated feelings as they set out for the Setting Sun Empire. They followed the Dark River of Light and entered the Setting Sun Empire's Darkness Province.
The Setting Sun Empire was indeed prosperous. The two didn't walk far before they saw a city. This was a city that Dumb had never been to before.
Phoenix Slayer grew up in the Setting Sun Empire. He didn't need to look at the map to know where this place was. He calmly said to Dumb, "This is the Darkness Province's Soul City. Although it's not big, it's one of the wealthiest cities in the Darkness Province. If I remember correctly, there's an assassin guild's stronghold here. Although it's not as big as a branch, there should be a dozen or so ordinary assassins. Do you want to go? "
After hearing the words "assassin guild," Dumb's eyes shone coldly, and he hatefully said, "Of course I want to go. All assassins deserve to die. Take me there. "
Phoenix Slayer nodded and led the way toward the Soul City. The Soul City was only one-tenth the size of the Darkness City. It was the same as the other cities that Dumb had visited in the Setting Sun Empire. After entering the city, he could clearly feel the decadent atmosphere. The people on the streets were all listless. Occasionally, there would be a few who were in high spirits, but they had just won some money from the casino. However, how long could they stay in high spirits for?
After entering the Soul City, Phoenix Slayer didn't stop, and he directly led Dumb toward the center of the city. After passing through a few streets, Phoenix Slayer pointed at a nearby pawnshop and said, "That's the assassin guild's stronghold here. There should be a dozen or so assassins inside, and the strongest among them won't exceed the level of a ninja. With your skills, you should be able to take care of them in a few minutes. "
Dumb nodded, and the scene of Owen's death flashed in his mind. He hatefully said, "The assassin guild has sent people to take your lives." Then, he took large strides toward the pawnshop. Phoenix Slayer's voice echoed in his ears. "Remember, don't leave anyone alive. I don't want them to find out that it was the thieves guild that helped you find this place."
Dumb didn't reply, and he walked away with large strides. Since he was facing the assassin guild, how could he be lenient?
The front of the pawnshop was very small, and there was a tattered piece of cloth hanging on the door. There was a large white word "pawn" on the black cloth, and it was extremely distinct. Dumb lifted the curtain and entered. The room was like an ordinary pawnshop, just a bit smaller. Behind the tall counter, there were two employees chatting. When they saw Dumb enter, one of them said, "Mister, what do you want to pawn? Our price here is absolutely fair, and we can redeem your pawned items within a month. "
Dumb coldly looked at the employee who had spoken. He could clearly feel the aura of battle energy on this employee's body. "I'm not here to pawn items. I want to kill people."
The employee was startled, and a cold glint flickered in the depths of his eyes. However, he said, "Mister, are you mistaken? This is a pawnshop. Besides, killing people is against the law. " "Yes."
"I want to kill people. I don't want to repeat myself a third time. Ask the person in charge of this place to come out. "Dumb stood in the same place, and a cold killing intent revolved around his body.
When the employee saw Dumb's expression, a nervous feeling welled up in his heart. He said, "Mister, I already said that this is a pawnshop."
Dumb casually waved his hand, and a stream of white battle energy scattered out. With a loud explosion, a large hole was blasted in the wooden counter of the pawnshop. The employee who had spoken was shaken to the point where he violently vomited blood and died. As if nothing had happened, Dumb still stood in the same place and said, "This is the price for making me repeat myself a third time. I want to kill people."
The other disguised employee saw that the situation was not good, and immediately revealed the true colors of an assassin. He knew that he could not deal with the person in front of him, and did not care about the life and death of his companion. He calmly said to Dumb, "Then you wait here." After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Not long after, the sound of intensive footsteps could be heard. Under the leadership of the previous assassin, a total of eleven people walked out. The person in the lead was dressed like a wealthy merchant. He looked at the broken counter, and then looked at his dead subordinate. He said to Dumb, "Mister, even if you are here for a mission, you should follow the rules. Killing our people, I'm afraid …"
Dumb indifferently said, "You are all assassins. Since you can kill people, why can't you be killed?"
The wealthy merchant laughed loudly, "Good, well said. Not bad, since we are assassins, we never thought that we would have a good ending. We have the awareness that we will be killed at any time. Since you have said it like this, I won't ask any more questions. Who are you? Because you are a genius, our fee will be slightly higher. "Was Killer Z a high-level assassin?
Dumb smiled, and it was a cruel smile. It was the smile of the Grim Reaper. "There is no need for a fee, because you won't need it anymore. The people I want to kill are you. " A faint blue radiance suddenly shone, and countless strands of battle qi fluttered out, pouncing toward the eleven assassins at lightning speed.
Phoenix Slayer was waiting for Dumb not far from the entrance of the pawnshop. She was not worried in the slightest. Let alone Dumb, even she could easily kill the assassins inside. Right at this time, Dumb walked out of the pawnshop. There was a trace of excitement on his face, and a bloodthirsty light appeared in the depths of his eyes. Even Phoenix Slayer couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she saw the look on his face.
Dumb walked over to Phoenix Slayer's side, and said, "If you are not tired, we can go to the next city. There are a total of twelve assassins in the pawnshop, and their sinful souls have already gone to where they should go. "
Phoenix Slayer said, "Let's go to Dark City, then. That place is a branch of the assassin's association. I believe that there should be a better outcome for you there. " The two figures gradually disappeared at the end of the street, and the pawnshop became deathly silent.
An hour later, a down-and-out gambler brought some valuable jewelry to the pawnshop. He was planning to use these jewelry to exchange for some gambling money so that he could continue his gambling career. Lifting the curtain, he said as he walked in, "It's become a family heirloom! This time, you must give me a fair — "His voice came to a screeching halt. He would never forget the scene he saw in front of him for the rest of his life. Within the pawnshop's hall, there were a dozen or so corpses lying in disorder. All of them had a small wound between their eyebrows, and their eyes were wide open. Two lines of crooked words were written on the originally snow-white wall. "Branch of the assassin's association, a total of eleven sinful souls." The inscription was the Grim Reaper's Debt Collector. The jewelry in the gambler's hands fell to the ground, and he retreated step by step with a pale face. Suddenly, he roared and rushed out of the door. He didn't even care about his "family heirlooms".
The next day, the news of the Grim Reaper's return to the Setting Sun Empire spread through the streets and alleys of the Setting Sun Empire at an astonishing speed.
Just as Dumb destroyed the first stronghold of the assassin's association, Kino and Yue Ji had already entered the Red Mongol's territory. Since Kino's speed was rather slow, it took them half a month to reach this place. The two slowly walked on the main road. Kino's expression was somewhat lonely, and for the first time, he didn't look at Yue Ji. Instead, he walked with his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
