"Get up!" The demon kicked Han Ye, who was still sleeping on the ground, forcefully waking him up from his sleep. Originally, with Han Ye's temper, he would definitely be angry, but the demon had woken him up every day for more than ten days, so he gradually got used to it. Thus, the little boy only snorted twice and got up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked,"Martial arts?"
The demon glanced at Han Ye disdainfully and said,""Nonsense! What else can we do?"
Han Ye yawned, sat up, and said,""Then are we still going to do the horse stance today?"
"You can do that on your own. I don't have the time to teach you the horse stance every day!”The demon said in a bad mood, and then said in a slightly soothing tone,"You've been practicing so-so these two days, and the foundation is still stable. From today on, I'll teach you fist and leg martial arts and sword techniques.”
When Han Ye heard that they were going to teach him actual combat martial arts, he quickly waved his hand and said,""No way, no way. Father has already taught me martial arts. I don't need you to teach me anymore!”
The demon put on a disdainful look and said,""Your father is no match for me at all. Moreover, you haven't even learned one-tenth of what he did. Why don't you need me to teach you?”
Han Ye scratched his head and thought for a while. Seeing that he could not refute, he could only cross his arms in front of his chest and tilt his head."Anyway, I won't let you teach me!”
The demon glanced at Han Ye coldly and snorted. He suddenly stretched out his palm and gently hit the boy's lower abdomen. Although it was not strong, it still made him roll back two circles and fall ten feet away.
Han Ye crawled up from the ground in a sorry state, clutching his burning lower abdomen and angrily said to the demon,""What are you doing!"
"I'm teaching you martial arts!" The demon's face darkened, and his thick eyebrows shrank. He pointed at Han Ye and shouted,""Brat, do you think you're still in the Howling Sword Hall? If you follow me, you have to listen to me. Don't throw a tantrum!”
Han Ye wanted to cry after being beaten by the demon, but in order not to show weakness in front of this bad guy, he pursed his lips and forcefully suppressed his tears.
The King of Hell knew that the little boy would be aggrieved, so he said in an arrogant tone,""Are you not convinced? If you had learned kung fu well, why would you be bullied by me like this?”
Han Ye stubbornly widened his eyes and said,""Father said that learning martial arts is to strengthen the body and help the weak, not to bully the weak or kill for money!”
"Bullshit!" The demon stretched out his strong arm and grabbed Han Ye's collar. He lifted the weak Han Ye into the air and shouted,""The reason why people learn martial arts is to not be bullied by others! It was also to prevent the people he cared about from being bullied by others! Do you understand, brat?"
"Let go of me!" Han Ye kept hitting the demon's iron arm with both hands and his feet kept shaking. He shouted,""What do you mean by care? You go around killing people, have you ever cared about anyone?”
"Didn't I care?" The demon looked at Han Ye coldly.
"You didn't! You didn't! Let me go!" Han Ye's face turned red as he struggled desperately in the demon's hands.
The demon thought for a moment and finally fell silent. He put Han Ye down and sat on a nearby rock. He thought of his life and was silent.
Han Ye looked at the demon sitting on the stone without saying a word. He looked at the demon's silent and even a little sad expression. In the end, he could not bear it. Although the demon had caused him to be separated from his relatives and friends, he had taken care of him for more than ten days. Humans were not plants. Who could be heartless? Therefore, the little boy thought for a moment and walked in front of the demon. He said to him,""I can learn your martial arts, but you have to promise me that you won't kill anyone in the future.”
When Han Ye said this, he was actually very nervous because he did not know if this demon would agree to his request. However, things were often unexpected. The demon raised his head and looked at Han Ye with a deep gaze, then nodded solemnly. Although the demon's compromise was what Han Ye had hoped for, when it really happened, Han Ye could not help but be a little stunned. After a while, the demon stood up and patted the dust off his pants."Alright, it's time to teach you martial arts. I'll first teach you fist, palm, and leg techniques, then sword techniques. You'll also need to cultivate true qi for two hours. When you're free, you'll practice your body techniques.”
Seeing that Han Ye didn't object, the demon began to teach him. At around 11:00 pm, he had basically taught Han Ye all the fist techniques, palm techniques, and leg techniques. In fact, Han Ye had learned a little when he was in the Howling Sword Hall, but it was not complete. The demon had traveled far and wide, and the insights he had obtained were considered rather profound, so he helped Han Ye complete it.
"Fist techniques, in terms of strength, there is the Iron Fist of the Great Strength Sect, in terms of spirituality, there is the Dragon and Tiger Twin Forms Fist of the Divine Martial Temple; In terms of palm techniques, there was the Vajra Palm of the Divine Martial Temple in terms of masculinity, and the Blue Water Palace's Green Wave and Clear Wind Palm in terms of femininity. In terms of leg techniques, in terms of speed, there's your sect's Lightning Kick, and in terms of mystery, there's the Giant Kun Sect's Xuanming Kick.”The demon placed his hands behind his back and looked at Han Ye.""The martial arts in the world are broad and profound. The martial arts of each sect are not achieved overnight. It requires years of comprehension and persistent practice.”
"Understood." The little boy nodded, his handsome eyes filled with admiration. He said,"I didn't expect you to know so much!”
The devil's scarred face flashed with a smile. He said,""It's always good to learn a few more martial arts in the martial world. At the very least, you have to understand your opponent and know yourself and your enemy to win every battle.”After saying that, the demon pulled out the Dragon Spring Sword from his waist. The sword was especially dazzling under the sunlight. The demon walked to Han Ye with the sword and said,""Let's not talk about idle talk. Now, I'm going to teach you how to use the sword.”As he spoke, the demon stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground. The sharp Dragon Spring Sword was stabbed into the ground diagonally, leaving only half of it exposed. Then, the demon picked up a thumb-thick branch with his right hand and pointed at the Dragon Spring Sword with his left hand. He said to Han Ye,""Brat, use that sword to attack me now.”
The little boy looked at the shining Dragon Spring Sword on the ground and then looked at the small branch in the demon's hand. He couldn't help but want to laugh. He said to the demon,""There's no need, right? The twig in your hand will break at the slightest touch.”
The demon's eyes flashed with lightning as he said in a deep voice,""Brat, don't be so long-winded. Are you afraid that you can't defeat me?”
"What kind of joke is this?" As the little boy spoke, he used his right hand to grab the hilt of the Dragon Spring Sword and tried to pull it out of the ground. However, the sword seemed to have taken root and did not move even after pulling it out for a long time. Therefore, the little boy finally stood in a bow stance and grabbed the hilt of the Dragon Spring Sword tightly with both hands. He used all his strength to pull it back. After much effort, the little boy finally pulled the sword out. However, due to the excessive force, he fell down with the sword.
Seeing Han Ye's comical appearance, Slayer Yama could not help but laugh. He took the opportunity to laugh and said,""Hahaha! He didn't expect Han Feng to be a good-for-nothing himself, and his son couldn't even hold a sword. He was a good-for-nothing among good-for-nothing!”
"Don't you dare insult my father!" Han Ye was furious. He opened his eyes wide and raised his eyebrows. He lifted the heavy Dragon Spring Sword with both hands and rushed toward the demon.
The demon wasn't in a hurry and made a contemptuous expression. When Han Ye raised his sword with both hands, he raised his right hand, and the branch in his hand stuck to the spine of the Dragon Spring Sword. With a light push, Han Ye's Dragon Spring Sword immediately changed its course and smashed into the ground beside him. How could Han Ye admit defeat? He hurriedly grabbed the Dragon Spring Sword that had fallen to the ground and looked at the demon with an angry and incomprehensible gaze. His forehead was covered in sweat.
The demon knew that Han Ye would do this, so he snorted and said,""Your grip is weak, your sword is slow, and your sword is clumsy. Is this your Tofu Swordsmanship?”
"You, don't be so smug!" Han Ye flew into a rage out of humiliation. He held the sword with both hands and tried his best to use a horizontal slash to sweep at the demon. However, the demon was quite relaxed. He stepped back slightly and stretched out the two fingers of his right hand to hit the surface of the Dragon Spring Sword. The Dragon Spring Sword tilted to the side again. After fighting for more than ten rounds, Han Ye did not even touch the demon's hair, but he was already sweating profusely and exhausted. He could only stab his sword vertically into the ground and lean on it, panting heavily.
The demon looked at Han Ye and shook his head with a disdainful smile.""You have a sword and a sharp weapon, but you can't even beat a small branch. It can be seen that your swordsmanship is really bad.”
"No, impossible!" Han Ye argued breathlessly,""You must have done something to the tree branch or this sword to make me look bad!”
The demon threw the branch in his hand to Han Ye, tilted his head, and looked elsewhere. He said disdainfully,""Take it and see for yourself."
Han Ye held the branch up and down and observed it a few times. It was indeed no different from an ordinary branch. He then slammed the branch against the Dragon Spring Sword. With a crack, the branch immediately broke into two!
The demon saw Han Ye's surprised face and said,""How is it? I'm not playing any tricks, am I?"
Han Ye stared at the half-broken branch in his hand and muttered,""How did you do it?"
"This is a sword." The demon crossed his arms in front of his chest and said contemptuously,"You know very little about the sword. You can't even learn the sword well in a famous sword sect like the Howling Sword Hall, and you're even the son of Ice Sword Han Feng.”
Han Ye couldn't stand it when others insulted his father. When he heard the demon's sarcasm, he frowned and clenched his fists. He said angrily to the demon,""Who says I can't learn the sword well! I learned well!"
After angering Han Ye, the demon's goal was achieved. He pretended to be disdainful and said,""Alright, then I'd like to see how you learn well.”
Therefore, the demon taught Han Ye swordsmanship for two hours. In just two hours, it had surpassed the little boy's twelve years of accumulation. The demon watched Han Ye's sword swing carefully and frowned."Is…is this a natural born swordsman? He couldn't even hold his sword steadily, so how could he dance so vigorously now?”Thinking of this, the demon couldn't help but frown again. He secretly nodded and said,""Alright, if he succeeds in the future, it will fulfill one of my wishes.”
After thinking for a long time, the demon said to Han Ye, who was practicing his sword,"" Alright, that's all for today. Remember, swordsmanship is the same as zhenqi. It requires a long period of practice and comprehension. Impatient behavior will not be helpful for cultivation.”
Han Ye nodded and stabbed his sword into the ground. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked,""What are we going to learn next?"
The demon didn't answer immediately. He just looked up at the sky. It was the scorching sun in the sky. The warm summer wind wrapped the scent of the leaves as it passed through the forest, causing the forest to rustle. The dark-faced man looked at the exhausted Han Ye and said,""Let's eat."
They had to cook to eat, and in this wilderness, they could only barbecue. All of this took time, so the demon arranged for Han Ye to cultivate his true qi while he prepared lunch. The demon spent a lot of effort and finally caught two hares from the forest. While killing the rabbits, plucking their feathers, and piling up firewood to start a fire, he did not forget to take a few glances at Han Ye, who was meditating. Looking at the faint purple mist coming out of Han Ye's body, the demon couldn't help but think happily,""When I reached this level, it probably took me three months. This kid is really capable.”
Besides, Han Ye was happily swimming in the sea of spiritual energy when a strange fragrance suddenly drifted into the sea of spiritual energy." That's the aroma of food!" Then, he opened his eyes and saw the fragrant rabbit meat in front of him.
"Eat." The demon handed the steaming roasted rabbit meat to Han Ye and said,""I'll explain the heart technique of the Swift Shadow Steps to you as I eat.”
Han Ye blew at the hot rabbit meat, swallowed his saliva, and replied,""Yes."
? The demon continued," Body movement is especially important to a martial arts expert. Even cultivators have to think of ways to improve their body movement. Once the body movement is good, each attack can be faster than the opponent. Each dodge can reduce the danger. It is also very convenient to chase and escape. The movement technique I'm going to teach you is divided into three styles. The first is called Gale, the second is called Flashing Star, and the third is called Illusion Moon.”
As he spoke, the demon told Han Ye the three sets of key points. Han Ye memorized them. He intentionally or unintentionally took a bite of the roasted rabbit meat that only had bones left and asked the demon sitting beside him,""Then, did you bring me along to run earlier so that I could better comprehend Swift Shadow Steps?”
"You can say that." The demon nodded." Mount Shu's Swift Shadow has three spells. Those who can roam the world can do so." After learning the Gale Technique, one could run as fast as the wind. After learning the Starburst Incantation, one would be able to move quickly in an instant. The key to it was to control one's speed calmly. After learning the Illusion Moon Art, a person could create the illusion of water moon while moving. The key to it was to make full use of one's own Xuan Yuan True Qi to cast the Tao technique. In the process of fighting, one needed to fully cooperate with the effects of these three spells to achieve the most favorable situation for oneself.”
Han Ye listened attentively and asked again,"How much have you mastered?"”
"I've only mastered the first two spells, and I can't use too many of them, because suddenly changing speed consumes a lot of energy."”As he spoke, the demon took down the empty wine bag and drank the last mouthful of wine. Then, he stood up and patted the dust off his body. He casually picked up another roasted rabbit meat on the bonfire rack and turned off the fire."It's time to move. We have to reach Handan before dark. I don't want to go without wine for a night.”
Han Ye remained sitting unhappily and said,""You only know how to drink. My father said that drinking too much is not good for the body.”
"What do you know? With wine, one can get drunk and relieve a thousand worries. Without wine, one can hurt one's spirit and worry ~!”As he spoke, the demon bit on the roasted rabbit meat and hurried north. Soon, he would disappear into the forest.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing that the demon had left, Han Ye quickly threw the rabbit bone in his hand to the side, jumped up, and chased north...
Han Ye had been following the demon for more than ten days, and his lightness skills had improved a lot. Therefore, he and the demon advanced quickly and finally arrived at Handan at dusk.
Handan had a long history. A city was built more than a thousand years ago, and it was still considered grand and prosperous today. The streets crisscrossed, turning the buildings into large and small areas. The residents of Handan were relaxed and happy. Some were leisurely closing their stalls on the streets, some were sitting under the eaves drinking tea and chatting about interesting things, and some had already brought the day's harvest into their houses. There was some chaos in the peace, and there was some joy in the peace.
For a young master like Han Ye, who had never traveled far before, a lively crowd was the easiest to arouse his interest. The demon walked in front, but Han Ye followed behind him and looked around, looking ahead and behind. His curiosity was fully displayed.
The demon turned his head slightly and glanced at Han Ye behind him, saying,""Brat, have you never seen a big city?"
Han Ye told the truth and said,""It's true that I've never seen a big city before. In the past, my parents didn't take me there. Even when I was with you, we only passed by a few small towns and villages.”
"Is that so?" The demon smiled and said,""Then let's see the world."
Han Ye nodded and followed the demon for a few steps. Then, he thought of something and tugged at the corner of the demon's clothes. He opened his clear eyes and begged,""By the way, you said you wanted to take me to eat fish yesterday.”
"Nonsense." The demon frowned and said,"Aren't I bringing you there?"”
Han Ye smiled and clenched his right fist in front of his chest. He waved his arm and said,""Good! Then let's go quickly!"
The demon shook his head and sighed.”
Thus, the demon took Han Ye around Handan City. When the sky was completely dark, they finally found a restaurant called " Guest House " and walked in.
Unlike other shops, the restaurant was brightly lit at night and people came and went. Firstly, there were many people eating at night, and secondly, it was the time when many people stayed. The guest house wasn't very big, but there were seven square tables and three large round tables. There were 20 to 30 people squeezed in. Among the ten tables, only the small table near the door was empty. It could be seen that the business of this restaurant was quite prosperous.
The King of Hell was never a reserved person. He swaggered to the only square table and sat down on a long bench beside the table. He called Han Ye to sit first, then slammed the Dragon Spring Sword on the table and shouted,""Waiter!"
A moment later, the waiter ran over. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel on his shoulder and nodded."I'm here, I'm here. What do you want?”
Reaper Yama didn't even look at the waiter and said,""Bring up a large serving of your specialty Crispy Bone Fish, two catties of cooked beef, and three to four side dishes.”
"Alright!" The waiter turned to the kitchen and shouted,"A large serving of Crispy Bone Fish, two catties of cooked beef, a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, a plate of old vinegar nuts and spinach, and a plate of beautiful cold side dishes.”After the waiter finished speaking, he turned around and respectfully asked the demon,"Do you want more wine?"
"Do you have good wine here?" the demon asked the waiter.”
"Yes!" "How can Handan not have good wine?" The waiter hurriedly said. You can have as many as you want!"
Indeed, Handan had a long history of brewing wine. Ever since the Warring States Period, Zhao's wine had become famous throughout the world. Handan was located within Zhao during ancient times. The demon thought to himself that he had come here many times but had never tasted Handan's wine, so he waved his hand at the waiter and said,""Let's try opening a jar first."
"Yes, yes." The waiter nodded and went to the counter. Not long after, he came back with a large square plate. After the waiter placed the plate on the table, Han Ye realized that the big plate was already full of dishes. The waiter placed the seven dishes on the table one by one and placed a small jar of wine in front of the demon. He said," Please enjoy your meal, sir." Then he left.
The demon didn't really want to eat either. He glanced at the dishes on the table and snorted coldly. He opened the small jar of wine and took a sip. It was soft in the mouth, sweet in the mouth, mellow and rich in fragrance, and had a long aftertaste. With good wine as a companion, the demon was in a better mood. He said to Han Ye, who was sitting on the right,""Brat, let me tell you in advance that I can't eat much. You have to finish the dishes you want me to order.”
As he spoke, he looked at Han Ye and saw that the little boy was already licking the plate of Crisp Bone Fish. There were two plates beside him that were bare, as if they had never been filled. The little boy was eating happily and didn't hear the demon's words clearly. He put down the plate and asked the demon in confusion,""What did you just say?"
The demon was a little stunned when he saw this. He continued to drink and said coldly,"Pretend I didn't say anything."
" How ridiculous…" Han Ye looked at the demon in confusion. He put down the plate that he had licked clean and brought the plate of cooked beef over. Although the food he had eaten in the Howling Sword Hall was not bad, he had never tasted authentic northern cuisine. Coincidentally, he had been eating barbecue for more than ten days and was getting tired of it. He naturally liked this meal very much and quickly swept the dishes on the table until there were only a few side dishes left.
" I can't take it anymore. Phew, I can't eat anymore..." Han Ye leaned against the demon's side without any scruples and touched his bloated belly."This is the most I've eaten since I was born. Huhu!”
"Good-for-nothing."? The demon cursed coldly, but he felt gratified. He picked up his chopsticks and took a few mouthfuls of the remaining dishes, occasionally drinking some wine.
Han Ye had nothing to do after eating, so he turned to watch the demon eat and drink. Seeing that he had forgotten everything, he couldn't help but ask,""Hey, is the wine really that good?”
When the demon heard this, he took another gulp of wine and said to Han Ye proudly,""Brat, you don't understand, do you? Wine was good stuff! As long as you have it, any worries, fears, sadness, and worries will leave you.”
After saying that, the demon drank two more mouthfuls. When he drank the third mouthful, he felt that there was no wine falling. He shook it and knew that this small jar of wine was finished.
"Waiter!" The demon knocked on the table, but this time the waiter was too busy and didn't come for a while. The demon didn't want to get up and get it himself, so he stared at the empty wine jar in his hand, seemingly unsatisfied.
Although Han Ye didn't understand why the demon liked to drink so much, he had a faint idea of wanting to help him. So he got off the stool and walked straight to the wine cabinet. When he reached the wine cabinet, Han Ye realized how tall it was. He could only reach the bottom of the cabinet on his tiptoes, but there was no wine at the bottom. The wine was all on the upper floors. Han Ye gritted his teeth and stood on his tiptoes to touch the wine on the first layer. He finally managed to hook it with his fingers, but his stomach was bloated from eating, so he couldn't stand firmly. He hooked the wine jar and fell back to the ground with the wine. The jar hit the ground, and with a " pop ", the porcelain pieces flew up, and the wine splashed everywhere.
This noise was not small. Everyone present, including the stunned King of Hell and the shopkeeper who was calculating, all looked at the place where the sound came from. He saw a little boy in a blue shirt sitting in a pile of broken porcelain wine. He stroked his aching butt with one hand and grabbed the broken wine jar with the other. He said dejectedly,"It's over, it's broken…"
Seeing that the wine in the shop had been smashed, the shopkeeper immediately flew into a rage. He angrily threw the abacus in his hand to the side and ran to Han Ye angrily. He bent down and grabbed his shirt, scolding,"Little bastard! You ruined my wine that I accumulated for more than ten ladies. Let's see how you're going to pay for it!”
At this moment, Slayer Yama also walked over. He could tell that Han Ye wanted to get him some wine, and he could not help but feel a faint warmth in his heart.
"Sorry, I don't have money." Han Ye looked at the middle-aged shopkeeper apologetically and scratched his head.""I just wanted to get a jar of wine. I didn't expect..."
"No money?" The shopkeeper screamed and rolled up his sleeves. He raised his right hand to hit Han Ye and said,""Let me tell you, if you don't pay me back today, your grandpa will…! Aiyoyo!" Before the shopkeeper could finish his sentence, he felt his right hand being pinched by another strong and powerful dark hand. It was extremely painful. He looked along the dark hand and saw a dark man with a scar on his face glaring at him fiercely!
With a stern face, Slayer Yama glared at the shopkeeper with his eyes that were as sharp as knives and lightning."He has already apologized. Do you still want to hit him?”That ferocious aura was as if he was going to draw his sword and kill someone in the next moment.
After all, the shopkeeper was a smart person. When he saw that the dark man was not to be trifled with, he immediately changed his anger to a smile and smiled apologetically at the demon."No, absolutely not! I saw him fall just now, so I just wanted to help him up.”
When the demon saw the shopkeeper bullying Han Ye, he had some killing intent, but then he remembered his promise to Han Ye. He took out three silver ingots from his pocket and slapped them on the table beside him. His right hand was still holding the shopkeeper, and he said angrily,"This is fifteen taels of silver. Is it enough to pay for that jar of wine?”
"Enough! That's enough!" The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded. His eyes were staring at the silver, and his forehead was gradually sweating.
"Humph." The demon glanced contemptuously at the snobbish shopkeeper and continued,""My nephew and I will be camping here tonight. Get someone to arrange a room for us, understand?”
"Understood! I understand too well!" The innkeeper said timidly and then shouted at the waiter not far away,"Little Fifth! Send the guest to the superior guest room to rest!”After shouting, the shopkeeper smiled apologetically and begged the demon,""Sir, I've done as you said. Can you please let go? It hurts!"
"Hmph, you're looking down on me." The demon didn't even want to look at the shopkeeper's face anymore. He let go of the shopkeeper's right hand, then turned around and walked in front of Han Ye. He stretched out his big black hand and pretended to be indifferent."Little brat, can you get up on your own?"
Han Ye nodded and pulled the demon's hand to stand up. He patted the dust and wine off his butt and said with some disappointment,""But the wine I brought for you broke…"
When the demon thought of how Han Ye was bullied for getting him wine, he suddenly became angry and said,""Drink my ass! Let's go!"
"Leave?" "Where are we going?" Han Ye scratched his head and asked.”
"Of course I'm going into the room to rest!" the demon said in a bad mood.”
When the innkeeper heard that the fiendish dark-skinned man was about to enter the guest room, he stroked his aching right hand and gave the waiter a look, signaling him to quickly bring the dark-skinned man into the room to rest. The waiter was smart. He walked up to the dark-skinned man and greeted him and Han Ye,""Please come upstairs."
The demon calmed down a little and brought Han Ye upstairs with the waiter. When the shopkeeper saw them leave, he immediately changed his smile to anger and cursed,"What's so smug about a black thing? Just because he had some brute force, he was showing off here!”The shopkeeper wanted to scold him, but when he saw the three ingots of silver on the table, his eyes immediately lit up. He took three steps forward and put the silver in his pocket. Just as he was about to return to the counter with the silver, he found that all the customers present were staring at him. He shrunk his head and went back to his counter. He squatted down and bit the three ingots of silver with his teeth. After confirming that they were real silver, he smiled secretly, and the unhappiness from being scared by the demon was gone...
