Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 9 Yellow Mouse
"Wake up, kid. You got hit pretty hard this time. Take a rest before your wounds are healed. It won't hurt to delay for two days. Don't try to force yourself to use your Qi."

Tiedan got up and saw Senior Brother Yue roasting a chicken on the campfire.

"By the way, who is Yuan Niang? You were still calling her in your dream. Is she your mother?"

Tiedan shook his head, silently pulled out the iron sword from under his pillow, and wiped it carefully.

The sword was two feet long and made of raw iron. There was a symbol of the North Star Golden Sword painted on the sword's spine with cinnabar. Although it was not a magic weapon, Senior Brother Yue had gone to the blacksmith shop and bought him a suitable one based on his height and arm length. However, a sword is just a sword, something used to kill people, and the blade must be maintained day and night. It would definitely be too late to sharpen it before the battle.

"Tsk, you are such a jerk. You can't make anything happen even if I hit you with three sticks. You don't even make a sound when I poke you with a sword. You are so boring."

Yue Peng was also helpless and tore a chicken leg for him.

Tiedan frowned.

"Where did the chicken come from?"

"Oh, I went around and saw a village that had suffered some kind of disaster. No one was left, but chickens were running around all over the village.

I don't think this is some ordinary beast or bandit causing trouble. There must be some demon nearby. It's just right. I will kill the demon and get the elixir to help you find treasure and build your foundation."

Tiedan took the chicken leg and looked at it.
"demon?"

"Huh? You don't even know about demons? They're those weird-looking creatures that kill and eat people. Why, you've never seen a demon?"

Tiedan shook his head.

"That's right. The people who saw you are long gone. With the Beiyuan army in charge, there shouldn't be any monsters left."

Yue Peng thought about it, and then he sucked in the remaining chicken leg with a storm, and then he took the chicken bone and drew a circle on the ground.
“This is Guangxia Mountain.”

Then he drew three large circles outside the Guangxia Mountain circle, in the north, south and east directions.
"To the south is Kun's Jindu City. To the north is Dui's Liangzhou Prefecture. To the east is Zhenxi Army Guard. They are all Demon Palace's territories."

Then he threw the bones into the fire, wiped his hands on his blue shirt,

"Everywhere else, there are demons."

"Both?"

Tiedan frowned in confusion, looked at the circle of Guangxia Mountain, and then looked at the circle in the north.

It’s not about Liangzhou, it’s further north.

Yue Peng also knew what he was wondering about, and he smiled with his eyes wide open.

"With our two brothers protecting you with our swords, no one will dare to show up along the way. Come on, eat quickly, and then we'll set off."

Tiedan saw that Brother Yue was fine after eating, so he also ate the chicken leg, tied the iron sword to his back and stood up.

But Yue Peng still squatted there without moving. He pulled a chicken wing and pointed to the southwest where the sky was gradually darkening.

"I'm here, those things don't dare to come out. The village is in that direction, just go forward, wait for the monster to show up, and kill it. If you can handle it yourself, I won't help you.

If you can’t handle it, just shout three times, “Good brother, save me!” and I will come to save you.

Then he began to suck the wings with relish again.

Tiedan nodded without saying anything, and walked in the direction of the chicken wings with his iron sword on his back.

It was getting darker and soon the puddles on the path could no longer be seen. The quiet mountains at night and the dry and forked branches looked like strange shapes with bared fangs and claws, neither human nor animal.

Tiedan is not afraid of walking at night, but he is not used to it yet.

Because he used to crawl.

It lies on the ground, using its hands and feet to search by scent for the scent and traces of past prey.

But after he entered Guangxia Mountain, his master forbade him to climb it anymore.

You are a human being, you have to walk with your back straight.

That being said, if you walk straight ahead, you won't be able to see the trap under your feet and won't be able to protect yourself from the arrows behind you.

"Click"

Hearing the sound of branches breaking coming from the downwind behind him, Tiedan said nothing, bent down, raised his hips, and jumped out using all four legs, and whooshed diagonally into the forest.

The thing following him was also stunned. It wanted to hold its breath and hide, and then move closer before attacking. It never expected that this guy would be so decisive. He ran away without even looking back. Caught off guard, it subconsciously chased after him for two steps.

As a result, he followed Tiedan's footsteps and jumped into the forest, where he was met with a sword energy that stabbed through the dead branches and cut him in half!

“Aaaaaaaa——!”

Hearing the inhuman screams behind him, Tiedan still did not turn back, nor did he stop. He rushed at least fifty steps away before he suddenly stopped, held his breath, and walked around for a long time, turning back quietly to the downwind side, and looking back from behind.

There was a hairy beast lying on the ground, broken in two, bleeding profusely and dead.

Tiedan lay on the ground and listened for a while, making sure that there was nothing else around. Then he drew his sword and swung out a gust of sword wind, cutting off the hairy beast's head from a distance, and then walked forward to take a closer look.

Demon... I don't mean this thing. It looks like a yellow rat, but it is as big as a human. It can even walk on its hind legs. It looks like it is about to become a monster.

It's just an ordinary beast, its teeth aren't even as sharp as a dog's.

Tiedan attached sword energy to the tip of the sword, cut open the intestines and abdomen, took out a bloody ball of flesh, dug two handfuls of mud and rotten leaves from the ground, wrapped them into a fist-sized mud ball to cover up the blood and energy, put it in his bag, and continued to move forward to the southwest.

It didn't take long to find the village that Senior Brother Yue mentioned. However, Tiedan didn't see any chickens running around. He only saw the dim lights in the mountain stream from afar, lighting up every household and the shadows of people. It seemed that he had been discovered as soon as he entered the village. Everyone was standing at the window, staring at him through the yellow paper. If it were an ordinary kid of his age, he would have been scared out of his wits, and would have shouted "Senior Brother, Help, Help, Help!"

But Tiedan is not really afraid.

I'm not trying to be brave, but I've seen so many dead bodies that there's nothing to be afraid of.

And sometimes, Tiedan really feels that there is nothing in this world that is more reassuring than the dead.

The dead cannot lie.

"Where does the swordsman come from!"

As soon as I stepped into the village, a vague female voice floated from behind me, like a cold winter wind, blowing into my collar.

"Swallow Peak."

Tiedan sniffed his nose, but didn't smell any living person. He twitched his ears, but didn't hear any human voice either. He gathered his killing intent without hiding it. He pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand and formed a sword gesture with his left hand. He drew out the iron sword and walked forward slowly. The blade was covered with green energy, shining on the boy's face like a ghost fire.

"Where are you going, swordsman?"

The location of the sound was erratic, and this time it came from a large locust tree in the front, in the center of the village.

"Jiuyin Mountain."

The voice paused, and then "Hehehe!" "Hahaha!" "Hohoho!" He burst into laughter! The laughter came from all directions, from the sky to the ground, as if the world was laughing at this kid.

“You are overestimating yourself!!!”

If this person was smiling while controlling his Qi and moving lightly in the air, then this ability of moving without a sound or a trace, like a phantom, is truly unheard of. His cultivation level is so high that he can compete with Chen Huzi...

Bullshit! Ghosts and goblins, playing tricks!
Put your foot horizontally and point your toes, neither forward nor backward!

Tiedan rushed out sideways! He kicked open the door next to him with one step, and stabbed at the ghost behind the window with a sword!

"Zhizhi——!"

The sword pierced through the forehead of the man standing upright in the window, and a yellow rat hidden in the skin was poked on the sword, squeaking and vomiting blood and screaming.

"Swordsman, spare my life! Spare my life!"

Tiedan said nothing, bent his wrist, flipped the sword's spine, and the rat head flew away with blood spurting out, revealing a scar as big as a bowl.

At this moment, a group of yellow rats covered in human skins broke out of the door, jumped down from the tree, climbed over the wall, and instantly surrounded the hut, chattering and talking.

"What a ruthless person!" "It's the swordsman from Guangxia Mountain!" "The disciple of the old monster Tianku!" "There's a smell of roasted chicken! It's him! He stole our chickens!" "Kill him! Kill him!" "Skin him! Eat his flesh! Suck his blood!" "He seems to understand what we're saying..."

"Gah——!"

Suddenly! While the rats were chattering and providing cover! A huge yellow rat! Burst out of the ground! One claw reached into Tiedan's stomach!
"Puff!" A claw dug into Tiedan's belly! A handful of blood plasma was grabbed from his body!
"Ha! Idiot! Haga--!"

But before the big yellow rat could finish laughing twice, a sword pierced through its throat and out along its spine!
Yes, what the opponent caught with one strike was the blood and flesh demon pill that Tiedan had just dug out and hidden in his arms!
Wolf Head was right. These beasts were bloodthirsty and man-eating, and they liked to scratch and bite places where the blood was most abundant.

So Tiedan began to breathe.

"hiss--"

The sword blade thrust forward, splitting the entire spine, raising the sword energy into the sky, splashing pools of hot blood, and cutting out a crescent-shaped sword wind, cutting the rat in human skin in half!

"call--"

The sword was as fast as the wind, rushing through the sea of ​​blood, and with only a flash of green light, it pierced through the heart again! The yellow mouse, who was the largest and had the loudest heartbeat, was stabbed to death on the spot!
“Hiss—whoosh—hiss—whoosh—hiss—whoosh—”

The killing began.

No unnecessary movements.

No fancy sword dancing.

Accompanied by the rhythm of breathing, he exhaled Qi and stabbed the sword, and absorbed Qi and retracted the blade.

A stab, a sweep, a stab, a sweep...

There was only a breath of Qi, which circulated back and forth around the boy's mouth and nose as he inhaled and exhaled, rolling like a cloud dragon.

The green smoke and Taoist aura swirled around and covered his eyebrows, like a dragon puffing out clouds and mist. His cold pupils and the icy blue sword shadow mercilessly stirred up the rolling sea of ​​blood, mixing up the bones, flesh and plasma.

All cut off with the sword.

Yue Peng squatted on a dead tree at the entrance of the village, staring at his junior fellow apprentice from afar. He only needed to gather a breath of Qi and swipe his sword to chop down the human-skinned rats in rows and pieces like chopping melons and vegetables.

"...You've never seen a demon before, have you?"

"No, oh,"

Tiedan lifted up his green robe and wiped off the blood stains on his sword. Then he realized what was happening.

"That's it?"

Then he chopped off the rat's head with his sword, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing again.

Yue Peng felt that he would be pissed off to death by this kid sooner or later.
