Du Qiankun breathed out two streams of white air from his nostrils. They were like little snakes, circling around.
Suddenly, he took a deep breath and sucked the white snakes back into his body. His bones crackled.
"Good … I didn't expect to become a Great Grandmaster so easily … I guess entering the path of martial arts will be within this year …"
Du Qiankun stood up, his chest relaxed. He wanted to look up at the sky and roar.
Ever since he had helped that half-crazy senior that day, the other party had generously given him a secret manual. His martial arts had improved several times a day, and he felt that there was hope for cultivation. How could he not be happy?
He walked out of the training room. This was an inn.
Du Qiankun went to the dining area on the first floor and ordered a table of meat and wine.
People who practiced martial arts had large appetites, and everyone was used to it. It was fine as long as he could afford it.
Not long after, the waiter came forward with a plate of steamed buns and said with a smile, "The other hot dishes are ready. Would you like to have some steamed buns to fill your stomach?"
"Sure."
Du Qiankun grabbed a steamed bun made of old flour and stuffed it into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he had eaten six or seven.
Just as he was eating and drinking, his ears twitched, and he heard the sound of a conversation from a distance away.
"Have you heard … the emperor passed away?"
"Sigh … the little emperor has just taken over the government. He was too hasty and wanted to seize power, but the empress dowager counterattacked?"
"Why did I hear … there are demons in the capital? It's said that a demon appeared in the empress dowager's palace, and the little emperor used this to cause trouble … But his foundation is too shallow, and he couldn't get rid of the demon. Instead, the demon bewitched the empress dowager … "
"Shh … How dare you say such things. Do you want to go to the market?"
…
Although the people at the table spoke in low voices, Du Qiankun still heard them clearly. His expression turned cold. "There's a demon in the capital? If it's just a palace fight, no matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with the martial arts world. But if there's a demon, it's different … Maybe I should go to the capital? "
Just as he was pondering, the waiter had already served the food and wine. At the same time, he came over with a letter. "Is your surname Du? This is a letter sent by a patrolling horse … "
"Oh? Thank you. "
Du Qiankun tipped a piece of silver and opened the letter.
The letter was indeed from the Elemental Fire Dragon.
He, Xu San, and Du Qiankun were known as the Three Heroes of the Pugilistic World, and they had been through life and death together. Du Qiankun had previously communicated with the Primordial Fire Dragon, so it was not strange for the dragon to know that he was here.
However, as Du Qiankun looked at it, his brows furrowed deeply. "Third Brother had an appointment with us to meet nearby, but he didn't show up for a long time. Big Brother was worried that something had happened to Third Brother, so he prepared to go to his hometown to check it out … What could possibly happen to him on a trip to his hometown?"
Even so, he still felt a little uneasy and immediately prepared to follow the clues.
…
Half a month later.
A small fishing village.
Du Qiankun's expression was grave as he saw the mark left behind by the Elemental Fire Dragon.
He had waited here for a full three days, but his big brother had not returned. Obviously, the Primordial Fire Dragon was also in danger!
"This is clearly Third Brother\'s hometown. Why is it so unlucky that freaks are born here?"
After a few days of observation, Du Qiankun was certain of one thing.
An extremely terrifying freak had probably been born in that small fishing village and had even contaminated all the villagers.
Even if he was a great grandmaster, he could only run as far as he could in such a situation.
"I\'m so hateful … Why am I so weak? I can\'t even save Big Brother and Third Brother …"
Du Qiankun\'s tiger eyes were filled with tears. "Big Brother, Third Brother … Just you wait, I\'ll find someone to avenge you!"
Some freaks could be ignored, but if they were not eliminated in time, they would become even more terrifying and spread in all directions.
The freaks in this village were obviously of the latter type.
Du Qiankun already saw that there were more and more fishermen participating in the night sacrifice, including many outsiders from the surrounding villages.
If this went on, it would definitely become a huge problem!
"I\'m afraid Big Brother and Third Brother have already been killed … Let\'s investigate one last time tonight and leave immediately …"
Du Qiankun made up his mind.
Given his martial arts skills, it would probably not be a problem if he just watched from afar.
At night.
He had long been prepared. He changed into a set of nocturnal clothes and specially watched the small fishing village.
The moon tonight was big and round, sprinkling down bright and clear light.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, the doors of the small fishing village opened one after another, and men and women with strange expressions walked out.
They gathered on the beach and sang a strange song and danced a twisted dance.
The pitch-black sea suddenly parted, and evil mermen walked out from it.
Du Qiankun covered his eyes, not wanting to look at those slippery scales and disgusting faces …
\ 'Most of them gather at night, but tonight is a little different. It seems to be a big sacrifice?\'
Du Qiankun had originally planned to stop while he was ahead, but at this moment, looking at the flames and the twisting figures … He actually did not want to leave.
He slowly opened his fingers, and his eyes focused on a merman.
That merman turned its face and seemed to be smiling at him. He could vaguely find some familiar features on that face that was covered in scales.
"Third Brother?!"
Du Qiankun\'s eyes bulged, and he cried out involuntarily.
The next moment, a few mermen had already surrounded him from the darkness.
He did not know when it started, but he had actually been discovered.
"B * stard, go to hell!"
Du Qiankun reached out to his waist, and a soft sword appeared in his hand. With the injection of vital energy, it suddenly became straight.
He stabbed out with the sword. The sword was like a dragon\'s roar, like a lightning strike in the night.
Pfft!
Right in front of him, the head of a merman flew up, and blood gushed out.
Du Qiankun did not continue fighting. He used his lightness skill and was about to escape.
He knew that mermen were not only covered in scales, but they were also wearing a layer of refined steel armor. They were also extremely strong.
He could kill eight to ten of them, but if he was surrounded by a large number of them, he would still die.
He flew dozens of feet, jumped over the mermen\'s heads, and was about to escape far away.
At this moment, Du Qiankun saw an especially ugly merman. It opened its ferocious mouth and let out a squeaky sound.
The roar was very strange, but it had a disgusting rhythm. It was like a music made of noise, but it also seemed like … a unique language!
Du Qiankun suddenly felt his blood boil, and he felt irritated. His vital energy went astray, and he fell from midair. "Damn it … Qi Deviation? No … It\'s an attack with the power of an anomaly? "
He held the sword in his hand and looked at the increasing number of mermen. They chanted strange incantations and walked forward. He felt as if there was a mountain pressing on his heart.
His hands and feet, which were originally powerful, began to become soft and powerless.
"No wonder … Big Brother died here …"
A bitter smile appeared on Du Qiankun\'s face. He looked at the mermen and placed the sword on his neck. "Even if I die, I don\'t want to be eaten by you!"
Pfft pfft!
At this moment, he heard some sounds in the sky.
Large amounts of dust drifted down, and soon after, figures with moth wings on their backs could be seen.
They held longswords in their hands and descended from the sky, killing the mermen quickly. They attacked one after another, and they were extremely valiant.
"Like moths flying into a flame..."
Du Qiankun looked at this scene, and for some reason, a sentence appeared in his heart.
