C11 Boxing spear practice
The spring night wind was still cold and oppressive, and the blade across his throat was even colder.
Not far away, the flames in the wooden house had gradually died down. Dozens of Gong Family villagers surrounded the area with weapons. The one in the lead was Li Chen, Gong Hou Hu and an 11-12 year old boy holding a gun.
Judging from the attitude of the villagers, the three of them were very respectful. The boy with the gun was also not an ordinary boy.
Third Boss kidnapped Li Ke and asked the villagers to provide them with horses to let them leave until they found a safe place to bring Li Ke back.
Li Chen's condition was for the bandits to immediately release the three bandits and let them leave.
Both sides couldn't trust each other as they looked at the black smoke rising from the wooden house. They were both afraid that the other party would break their promise.
Although Li Chen was worried about Li Ke's safety, he knew what to do and what not to do. It was better to believe that the pigs could fly and the Town Security could help the old grandpa cross the road than to believe that the bandits would keep their word.
Li Ke did not make a ruckus and focused on recovering his physical strength.
At the back of the crowd, one could still hear Gong Lingruo crying as she begged the village's uncles to save Li Ke.
"Bring the horse or I'll kill him."
The Third Master withdrew his blade and pressed it against Li Ke's neck. It was not a good blade that was cold. It seemed that this group of bandits were not rich.
As the Third Master, he didn't even have a sharp weapon. It was no wonder that hundreds of bandits couldn't defeat a small mountain village.
While the two sides faced off, three more bandits came out from the forest. They were the three people with the monkey head and walked in front. The two bandits behind each held a child and formally ran into the mountain.
The appearance of the monkey head made the atmosphere even more tense.
The two new hostages were the children from the Gong family's village. The crowd that surrounded them clearly tensed up. It seemed like the villagers did not care much about Li Ke being captured. Who would be nervous if he was not a child from the village? Although the old man outside was a friend of Old Gong and helped the village a bit, he was still not a part of the family.
Exchanging three horses for a child from an outer village?
The villagers were very cooperative when Li Chen was stalling for time.
Now that the baby from the village was caught, the situation was completely different. They were all from the same village, and even though they had broken bones and tendons, using a few large animals to exchange for the child, they did not feel any heartache.
Hearing the miserable cries of the two boys, Li Ke, who had recovered some of his strength and wanted to struggle free, could only hold it in for the time being.
"Monkey Head, come here quickly."
When the Third Master saw that there were two more hostages, he became very excited. Now, he had hope of getting out of this predicament.
Li Ke had also found an opportunity to escape. The hostage was right behind him. Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ke grabbed onto the back of the blade and leaned backwards. Third Boss never thought that the kidnapped child would be able to resist and be freed by Li Ke. Before he could even react, the knife was taken and placed against his neck.
Hostage roles change so quickly that people can't adapt for a while.
Li Ke kicked Third Boss to his knees on the ground. His blade was still on Third Boss' neck while his other hand was grabbing Third Boss' ear.
Amongst everyone present, Li Chen's reaction was the fastest. Seeing that they had rushed out, his figure was as fast as lightning, knocking down the remaining five bandits and saving the lives of two children.
Hunter Gong shook his head with a bitter smile.
The villagers did not put Li Ke in their hearts, and neither did Li Chen.
Just now when Li Ke was kidnapped, Li Chen was afraid that Li Ke would be injured and not dare to make a move. The moment Li Ke escaped from danger, Li Chen released his arms and legs. A fighter at the peak of the ninth level would be considered to be a strong martial artist, a bunch of petty thieves. How could they have the ability to kill in front of Li Chen?
The furious villagers surrounded the six bandits.
Li Ke saw countless broken pieces of flesh and blood.
"Look carefully."
When Li Ke turned his head to look elsewhere, Li Chen arrived beside Li Ke and said, "Look carefully, this world is a world where the strong preys on the weak. If you don't kill others, others will kill you."
"En!" Li Ke watched the villagers kill the six bandits before he turned around and vomited.
Although Li Ke had killed a person tonight, using the bow and arrow to kill from a distance was very different from killing from close range. Having six bandits be chopped into tens of thousands of pieces at a short distance brought the shock to an extreme.
Li Ke, who had not been pampered since he was young, could still be considered to be living in happiness. Today was his first time seeing the cruelty of the world.
Seeing Li Ke so afraid of vomiting at the edge of a field, the villagers did not look down on him. A six or seven-year-old child who was able to fight back even after being kidnapped was definitely not an ordinary child.
Hunter Gong was extremely envious as he asked Li Chen, "He's already level six, right?"
Li Chen nodded proudly and replied, "That's why I brought him out to gain experience. Don't waste your energy by training at home."
Hunter Gong said with envy, "You're so lucky."
"Ha ha!" Li Chen laughed happily. He felt comfortable that Li Ke was promising.
He was the grandson of the village chief, Gong Hu. At such a young age, he was already a level 6 martial artist and his spear was the Gong Family's inherited "Wolf Teeth Spear".
Seeing the respect the villagers had for him, his spear skills must be extraordinary.
"Senior, thank you for your help. In place of my father, I request that you come and stay at home for a short period of time. The Gong family will never forget the kindness that you have shown me."
Gong Hu was very steady and mature when he spoke and when he did things, he didn't have much of the pride of a young person.
"Do your best. I, Old Gong, am also a good friend of many years. It is only right for me to help him." Li Chen gave a simple introduction of his relationship with the hunter and said, "Although the bandits have retreated, the village's damage is serious, so everyone should go back early to clean up." We two old men still have things to talk about, and we'll spend the night in this shitty house. "
Li Chen was here to look for Hunter Gong, he did not want to build a good relationship with the Gong Family.
Hunter Gong lived outside the village and it was not for no reason. It would not be good if he pointed it out.
Gong Hu saw that he couldn't get rid of the villagers, so he didn't force them. He got rid of the villagers and returned to the village. He drove two ox-carts over, so that Li Chen and hunter Gong wouldn't have to sleep in the open with their children.
This time, Li Chen did not refuse.
It was getting light. The sky behind the eastern ridge was white, and the air was thick with the smell of burning.
In the distance, the Gong family's village appeared to be very dilapidated under the morning sunlight. The villagers who had worked hard the entire night were dragging their tired bodies as they searched the ruins for items that were still in good condition. They collected anything they could use to rebuild their home.
The Gong family's village was built by the mountains, and it was built by a small ravine. It was easy to defend, but hard to attack. The reason for the successful sneak attack by the Wolf Mountain bandits this time was mainly because the villagers were busy with farming and the defensive strength of the village was weakened. If the villagers had been prepared in advance, it would be impossible for this mountain stronghold to be captured by any bandits that only had two or three Second or Third Rated Warriors leading the team.
After waking up on the oxcart, Li Ke didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He had followed his grandfather Li Chen to train twice, and was already used to sleeping in the open air.
Lying on the tree trunk, Li Ke could fall asleep.
After exiting the carriage, his grandfather, Li Chen, still had not woken up yet. Gong Zhui woke up early and was standing at the door of the wooden house, feeling worried.
"Good morning, Grandpa Gong."
After Li Ke went up to greet him, he went to the empty space to do morning lessons and performed the《 Three Forms》 981 times.
Repeatedly were three simple moves. Every time he performed the Three Styles, Li Ke would think of the Tiger Subduing Diagram, and his movements would also gradually merge with the Tiger Subduing Diagram.
After the 81st time, Li Ke stood up straight and breathed in the fresh breakfast air. All the fatigue from last night was swept away.
When Hunter Gong saw Li Ke practice boxing, he repeatedly used three moves. At first, he thought it was very interesting, but he guessed what Li Chen was thinking and why he called Li Ke his grandson, this kind of useless martial arts.
After looking through it a few times, Hunter Gong saw some clues. He turned his head to look at Li Chen who had just woken up and asked in a low voice, "Are you serious? "How old is he, and you dare …"
Li Chen made a silencing gesture, and replied in a low voice: "I accidentally bumped into it, it's too late to stop it even if I wanted to. It shouldn't be a problem for me to subdue the tiger for only three minutes."
"Even if it's a three time Subduing Tiger, it's not something that a six or seven-year-old child can endure. What exactly are you thinking? It is not a good thing to nurture them. "
Hunter Gong complained in a low voice. Seeing Li Ke walk over after finishing his fist, he stopped talking.
Li Chen was also distressed in his heart. The Hidden Tiger Map was a legend in the martial arts world. It existed in many places in the martial arts world. Rumor has it that the Hidden Tiger Painting was left behind by a previous Royal Warrior. Each of the Hidden Tiger Painting had a set of cultivation technique hidden within. However, those who had seen the Hidden Tiger Map would not necessarily be able to learn peerless martial arts. There was a possibility of them going berserk and finally dying.
Therefore, the people of the martial world viewed the Hidden Tiger Map as a dangerous object. Only those who had chosen to enter the path would choose to cultivate it, risking their life to obtain a sliver of survival.
Later on, after a genius finished cultivating the Hidden Tiger Map, he copied out a few of it and divided them into three parts: Hidden Tiger, Sixty percent Hidden Tiger, and Eighty percent Hidden Tiger. Although the effect was not the real Tiger Subduing Painting, it was much safer when cultivating and gave people more choice of space.
Of these, three were the most valuable, and six were the most valuable.
The reason why Li Chen was able to copy out the three parts of the Tiger Subduing Painting was because of the Tiger Subduing Painting that Li Chen cultivated.
In order to take revenge, Li Chen had walked many routes, and cultivating the Hidden Tiger Map was one of them. That year, Li Chen had seen the Hidden Tiger Map with Hunter Gong in Wolf Mansion and Li Chen had become a Level 9 Warrior. Hunter Gong's cultivation had dropped by a lot and he had almost lost his life. Different people had different destinies, and the circumstances of the two old men indicated that their lives were unpredictable.
Li Ke was only six years old. Even if he cultivated the three parts of the Tiger Subduing Diagram, it would still be extremely dangerous.
Hunter Gong's complaint wasn't strange.
Li Chen had no way of explaining it. Li Ke had accidentally seen a six point Hidden Tiger Painting, and it wasn't something that Li Chen had specially arranged for him. If Li Chen knew that what Li Ke was looking at was a genuine Subduing Tiger Painting, he would definitely jump up and down excitedly while being shocked. He would be like a white-bearded Sun monkey.
After seeing the Subduing Tiger Diagram, those whose cultivation had advanced instead of retreating would surely have boundless prospects.
After breakfast, Li Ke helped clean up the dilapidated wooden house. After the fire, the items left behind were no longer usable, Li Ke followed the few men sent by the village head to clean up the remaining charred wood. He then followed the villagers into the mountain and cut down some trees to rebuild the wooden house for Gong Hu.
Li Ke continued to help, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
The ground outside the Gong family's village had already sprouted seedlings and their growth was extremely pleasing. If nothing unexpected happened, this year would be another thriving year.
During that period of time, the old chief of the Gong family's village came over and during the conversation, he revealed the thought of letting Gong Hu take Li Chen as his master.
After being rejected, Gong Hu thought of a way that couldn't be helped. He moved to the side of the Gong family and lived in a hut. Every day, he would concentrate on practicing his martial arts and show it to Li Chen.
Li Chen had to admit that Gong Hu was a good seedling.
"Hunter, why didn't you teach him?"
One time, Li Chen could not help but ask Hunter Gong, but the result made Li Chen stunned.
Hunter Gong replied, "I have a grudge with his grandfather. Even if I wanted to teach him, he wouldn't dare to use me. Furthermore, I won't teach him how to do it! "
Outside the wooden house, Li Ke was practicing his fist art while Gong Hu was practicing his spear art.
