The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 20: Mad Tiger, Swordsman
Xuanzhen concept,
In the dark,
A man in a bamboo hat slowly raised his head, revealing sharp eyes. He looked at Chu Zhou and said in a hoarse voice: "He looks fierce?"

"It's not that he looks fierce, but that he really is fierce!"

The other person's voice was louder, but he seemed a little hesitant: "If I'm not mistaken, he should be the current head of Xuanzhen Temple, the young Taoist priest Chu.

But, isn't he practicing a secret technique to control ghosts and kill people?"

"Yes!"

The hoarse-voiced man in the bamboo hat was also quite curious: "I haven't seen any methods of controlling ghosts, but his martial arts skills are quite good.

What realm do you think he is at?"

A resounding voice replied, "The Flesh Training Stage! Judging from his speed and explosive power, I think he should be about the right time to complete the Flesh Training Stage."

The hoarse voice shook his head: "No, at least he is in the Leather Training Realm. Have you forgotten that he just withstood the sword attack without any injury?"

The loud voice nodded, and sighed: "Speaking of which, a 17 or 18-year-old in the Skin Refining Realm is indeed powerful, but it can't be more than that. I just don't know why you want to hide it?"

The hoarse voice was disdainful: “It’s just those few reasons, all about intrigue!

However, this has nothing to do with us. We have received the master's order and we just need to do our own thing."

"The question now is, if he had achieved success in martial arts, he wouldn't be able to control ghosts, right?"

"This... seems to be the case! According to the master, the secret technique consumes the essence of qi and blood, which is harmful to the body and is contrary to the way of martial arts.

So, how did the Xue family's servant die? "

"Could it be that the one who practiced the secret technique was not him, but the two younger ones?"

"At twelve or thirteen years old, your mind is immature, how can you subdue the evil spirits?"

"Well, that seems to be the case."

"I don't understand, I don't understand!"

"The question is, what should we do now? Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to carry out the master's orders!"

"How about we take them all and then ask the master to make the decision?"

"That's right! Is that the decision?"

"So, if I'm going to be more ruthless this time, you won't stop me, right?"

"of course not!"

These two people really didn't take Chu Zhou seriously and talked and discussed as if no one was around.

Chu Zhou originally wanted to take action directly, but from the meaning of their words, it seemed to involve a certain master, as well as the understanding of ghost-controlling methods in their words, which made him pause for a moment.

His intuition told him that these two people did not seem to be pure members of the Xue family.

After the two men in bamboo hats finished their discussion, they looked at Chu Zhou. The man with the loud voice finally raised his head, revealing a scarred face.

He asked, "Will you tie yourself up and come with us? Or will we beat you until you are unable to take care of yourself and then take you away?"

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts raced, and he suddenly asked, "So, you were sent here by County Magistrate Xue?"

"Don't guess randomly. If you guess wrong, it will do you no good; if you guess right, it will do you even less good!"

"So, you are not only invited by County Magistrate Xue, but also have some connection with Taoist Xuan Zhen, and know some details of the secret technique of controlling ghosts?"

The man with the hoarse voice finally raised his head, and under the faint moonlight, his somewhat terrifying face was illuminated.

It was covered with burn scars, with layers of skin and flesh piled together, looking extremely ugly. There was also a scar on his neck, which seemed to have cut through his throat.

This is probably why his words leak out and sound very unpleasant.

After hearing Chu Zhou's words, he seemed very surprised: "Hey, you little guy are quite smart..."

"Second!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud voice. The man with the scar on his face even tilted his head slightly and stared at him with a look that seemed to want to eat him.

"I, I was wrong!"

The hoarse man shuddered and immediately admitted his mistake. He looked at Chu Zhou again with an almost crazy look in his eyes: "It's okay, it's okay. As long as I capture them and kill everyone, the master will naturally not blame me!"

"Yes! Yes! It must be like this!"

He seemed to be very afraid of his master, but in a flash, he became almost crazy, staring at Chu Zhou and shouting, "Die!"

At this moment, his aura surged like a furnace. With one step, his straw raincoat and hat fell to the ground, and his figure was already in front of Chu Zhou.

He opened his big hand, which looked like a tiger's claw, and suddenly grabbed down with a gust of wind.

Chu Zhou did not choose to fight head-on, but instead danced like a dragon or snake, twisting his body to avoid the attack, and with a tap of his foot, he retreated.

The mad tiger's attack missed, but he did not hesitate at all. Instead, he rushed forward wildly, waving his hands like claws like a madman.

Time and time again, one style after another, he was as ferocious as a mad tiger, with bursts of tiger roars lingering around, disturbing people's minds.

In the backyard, Yi Huai and Fan Tiehu had already finished their fight.

After all, they have trained martial arts seriously and their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. As long as they muster up their courage and face the enemy calmly, that group of mobs will have no chance of resisting.

Especially Yi Huai, after he was no longer afraid, his strength as a warrior was revealed.

That was really a punch to the kid, the black-clothed man cried for his parents. Then, when Yi Huai was full of confidence, his most respected senior brother was actually "beaten" back.

The man who looked like a mad tiger was so ferocious that wherever he passed, anything that stood in his way, no matter if it was a wall, a stone lock, or a supporting tree as thick as a person, was crushed to pieces by his claws.

The ground was left with cracked footprints and large pieces of broken blue bricks.

Chu Zhou, like a spirit snake, appears and disappears in the dust, giving people the feeling that he is in danger, but he always manages to avoid attacks on the edge of danger.

"Oh my, I'm so angry, don't run away! Don't run away!"

The hoarse voice was like thunder, like an angry roar. Seeing Chu Zhou turn around and try to avoid the corner, he took a deep breath and rushed forward.

boom!
The two of them bumped into each other, broke through the wall behind them, and rushed straight into the room.

Smoke and dust rose up, covering up the sound. The only sound that could be heard was roaring, which became louder and louder, and there were also endless collision sounds, like the sound of metal clashing.

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Xu Cheng, the three little guys, had gathered together. Seeing that their senior brother seemed to be unable to do the job, they hurried forward to help.

However, before they could run a few steps, another person stepped through the broken door and walked into the backyard.

He also took off his straw raincoat and hat, revealing his sturdy body. He had a tattoo on his bald head and various crisscrossing scars on his face.

His weapon was a sword, which he held on his shoulder. He put his hands on it and walked in swayingly.

He ignored Chu Zhou and Crazy Tiger who were fighting, but glanced at the dead men in black and then fixed his eyes on Xu Cheng and the other two.

Then, he showed an extremely vicious smile, and prepared to step forward and take down the three little guys first.

However, after taking only two steps, his expression suddenly changed. He saw a dark shadow approaching from the corner of his eye. He swayed and took three steps back.

Then, the black shadow smashed into the wall next to him, creating a spider-web-like dent.

The mad tiger, which had just been as violent and ferocious as a madman, was now embedded in it.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, the dots are prickly, be careful, cough cough cough!"

The mad tiger's voice sounded intermittently, and blood came out of the corner of his mouth.
But he still struggled to move away from the wall, supported himself on his knees for a moment, took a long breath, and straightened up.

I don't know if he was really strong or if he used some secret method, but just by breathing like that, his violent madness actually increased instead of decreased.

However, no matter how crazy they were, the two of them looked alert at the moment, looking at the house with a big hole in it, their bodies tense.

Tap, tap...

Footsteps were heard, and in the smoke and dust, the silhouette of Chu Zhou appeared. He walked out slowly, waving his sleeves to drive away the dust.

Seeing the two people standing on high alert, Chu Zhou seemed relieved, yet a little dissatisfied.

“After all this time, you are only at the level of bone training. I thought you were all masters at the level of organ training!

I was so scared that I had to dodge carefully."

There is no ability in this world that can tell the depth of martial arts at a glance. Maybe there is, but they are extremely rare cases, or special secret techniques.

Have you ever practiced martial arts?
It is easy to judge. After all, the spirit and physical exercise shown are quite obvious.

As for who has a higher level of martial arts?

Who is more powerful in killing?
You have to fight and compete to find out.

Before this, seeing how these two people acted as if they were the only ones around, Chu Zhou really thought they were masters of the highest level.

Of course, the reason why Chu Zhou chose to dodge was not only because he was unsure, but also because he knew clearly that he was also a rookie!

I have almost no experience in fighting, so I just want to gain some experience first and see what the opponent's methods are.

As for the result?

That’s all I can say!
"You, you are a dirty martial artist?" Scar Swordsman held the sword in his hand, and his loud voice was trembling a little:

"That's not it!"

Chu Zhou denied it without hesitation, but seeing that the two seemed to be relieved, he added maliciously: "Although I haven't practiced the internal organs, according to your calculations, that is also the ultimate martial artist who has perfected the four levels of muscles, skin and bones.

Beating you two losers is easy!"

"Besides, you have to get out of here. This Xuanzhen Temple is my territory. If you damage it, I will have to repair it myself!"

"So, get out! Get out! Get out!"

The sound was like thunder and explosion. Chu Zhou was already close. He raised his legs high, straightened them like a javelin, and swung them like a whip.

In just a moment, one could see the shadows of legs, which seemed to be blocked and closed. There was no escape possible.

Then, with a loud rumbling sound, the mad tiger man had already crashed through the wall and flew out, but the scarred man was more sensible and took the initiative to retreat.

The next time they confronted each other, they were already outside Xuanzhen Temple, and they really followed Chu Zhou's words "Get out!"
At this point, Chu Zhou did a few casual stretching movements and said, "Now that we're out, let's not delay any longer. Let's fight to the death."

Before he finished speaking, he pounced forward again, his body stretched out like a dragon, his blood surging throughout his body, his strength like a tide.

Another fist was raised high, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it smashed down fiercely!
