C16 Five Years(1)
At that moment, the father who had just pulled his foot out of the ground walked over. He patted Qingtian's shoulder and said, "Good boy, it's been five years since we last met, and you've become a Grand Swordsman. No wonder Gheed and the others said that you don't need protection anymore. With that sword strike just now, even I am no match for you. There are no more than twenty people in the Imperial Capital who can hurt you." "Hehe! Actually, I only took advantage of the opportunity to rush down from the sky. If we were to really compare notes, I wouldn't be a match for Father. " Qingtian smiled. "Come on, brat. How can I not know how far you are right now? Besides, you still have magic to use. When you grow up, you are still modest! It is not shameful to lose to your own son! Your grandfather is in the house. Quickly go and see him. He's getting old and has been talking about you recently." Stuya said as he ran to the inner hall and saw his grandfather sitting there with a smile on his face. It was such a big commotion just now. The old man had heard about it a long time ago, but after so many years, he had been through a lot. Why would he care about such a small disturbance? However, when he saw that Qingtian had returned, the old man could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up from his seat and pressed his hands on Qingtian's shoulders. "Good, good, good! As expected of my good grandson! He became a Grand Swordsman at the age of fifteen. It looks like your magic has reached the High Mage realm. Your achievements have already far surpassed mine at that time. Now, you have truly become a powerful Devil Swordsman!" As he spoke, the eyes of this old man who had been steeled with blood for his entire life became moist. "How could that be? Grandfather, you are the strongest Swordmaster! I don't know how long it will take to catch up to Grandfather!" Qingtian said guiltily after being seen through by the old man.
In the past five years, Qingtian had been practicing that cruel cultivation every day. The strength of his physical body had already far exceeded that of his four bodyguards. In the last two years, Gheed and the others had been unable to injure Qingtian in every battle. They were often forced to use their ultimate techniques by Qingtian in the end. They were only lucky enough to win.
During this period of time, Novi brought his men to look for Qingtian. Not only did this guy bring most of the young men in the village, but he also brought them here. He also contacted the surrounding villages and brought more than three hundred hunters with him. Everyone here had the strength of the swordman, and... Including Novi, there were a total of six swordsmen.
The arrival of so many people surprised Qingtian. But suddenly, there were so many mouths, as well as their family members. This really made Qingtian worry. "The most important thing right now is to solve their current livelihood problem." Sky High first paid Gheed to take out the rest of the money from the magic crystal card and give it to them in one go. These hunters had never seen such a scene before. Their only source of income was from hunting and then taking out some Devil Beast fur. Bones or monster cores were sold out, and the price was lowered by the merchants. For so many gold coins to be placed in front of them in such a short period of time, they really couldn't believe it.
"Novi, you can be the representative. Since you brought them here... That means these people can work for me. I, Ashlow, am not a bad opponent. This way, you will personally supervise and work with a few capable subordinates. Send this money back to your village. This is your compensation for coming to work for me, even though I am not very rich. But I will definitely take good care of your family." Atlas pointed at the gold coin on the ground and said.
"Young master! Are these all for us?" Novi could not believe his eyes. He had never seen so much money in his life. "Of course not. Remember this clearly. These are for your family. They want you to work for me. My wife, children, and children will have no worries. Don't worry, as long as I, Ashlow, am still breathing, I won't starve your family! " Qingtian looked at the hunter who was drooling in front of him and shouted.
"Young master! Y-you...!" Novi's eyes were red and he could not speak. After a while, he suddenly knelt down towards the sky." Young master, I, Novi Ankadisiru, from now on... I swear my loyalty to you, young master." Novi drew his sword and slashed at his own forehead, causing blood to flow out. When servants on the continent willingly pledge their loyalty to their master, they would use their swords to leave a scar on their foreheads to show their loyalty. )
As he spoke, the hundreds of people behind him copied Novi. They all knelt down and used their swords to cut their own foreheads. "My god, it is rare to see these few hundred people bleed together! I am sorry, perhaps it is because my character is too good." Atlas fantasized.
"Did you see that? With just a few words, so many experts have pledged their loyalty to young master. Young Master's charm is indeed different!" Gheed once again lectured his subordinates.
Looking at this group of hot-blooded men, Atlas raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar. "Alright! Today, all of you will be proud of having a master like me. However, I believe that in the near future, I will be proud of having subordinates like all of you! "Qingtian felt his blood boil. Now, he finally had his own power! This was the beginning of him showing off his strength on the continent!
