“What the hell are you laughing at! So annoying, just kill him!”
Cui Xiao was extremely annoyed when he heard the other party’s laughter.
A subordinate received the order and decisively walked over with a knife, ready to send the young man on his way.
A cold glint flashed, and no one paid any more attention to the young man, preparing to harvest the ripe rice.
“Puff~”
The sound of a sharp blade cutting flesh.
“If I just leave like this, how can I face my parents who died so tragically?”
A tender but cold voice suddenly sounded, and Cui Xiao, who was about to leave, turned his head sharply.
Seeing the scene behind him, his pupils suddenly constricted.
It wasn’t the young man who fell, but his own personal guard!
Although the personal guard was not as strong as him, he was still a skilled fighter who had survived battles.
He was actually disarmed and killed by the young man!
What just happened?
If the opponent was an adult, it would be understandable, but this person was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
Anger surged wildly in Jiang Ping'an’s Heart-Nature.
His parents worked tirelessly to pay taxes, all for a peaceful and worry-free life!
However, their hard work brought only oppression and death.
He had naively thought that bad people were a minority, and most people were still good.
Until he witnessed today’s scene, all the illusions in his heart vanished.
From now on, he would never judge a person’s good or bad based on their identity.
Jiang Ping'an, holding a military knife, took the initiative to attack, charging towards Cui Xiao.
Today, he would vent his anger and use blood to mourn the lost lives of his parents and villagers!
“Overestimating yourself.”
Cui Xiao looked at the charging young man, a disdainful smile appearing on his face.
He, a dignified Elementary squadron leader, was comparable to someone at the third level of Qi Condensation.
Let alone a young man, even a hundred ordinary soldiers wouldn’t be able to threaten him.
He casually drew his knife and swung it, preparing to deal with this idiotic young man.
Just as Jiang Ping'an charged in front of Cui Xiao, his speed suddenly surged, and he leaped high.
Before, he had only rushed over at the speed of a child, just to lull the opponent into a false sense of security.
This moment was the true killing intent!
Cui Xiao was indeed a battle-hardened soldier; in that brief instant, the knife in his hand quickly blocked.
“Clang~”
Jiang Ping'an’s knife broke.
The two men’s knives were not on the same level; Cui Xiao’s knife was clearly better.
However, the broken blade quickly grazed Cui Xiao’s face, leaving a bloodstain.
Jiang Ping'an swung the broken knife, aiming for the opponent’s neck.
Cui Xiao’s expression changed, and he quickly rolled off his horse.
What a pity for that fiery red warhorse; Jiang Ping'an’s knife slashed through, and the huge horse’s head fell to the ground, blood staining the ground.
The soldiers nearby were stunned; how could this young man’s strength be so great! He cut off the horse’s head with one strike!
Cui Xiao’s back was soaked with cold sweat, and he retreated frantically, “You are not an ordinary person!!!”
The loud roar carried terror; he had almost been hit.
If he had been a little more careless, he would be a dead man now!
The opponent was definitely not an ordinary young man; his speed was on par with his own!
How could this young man be so powerful?
Jiang Ping'an ignored the opponent, and another military knife appeared in his hand as he charged towards him.
Seeing this scene, Cui Xiao’s eyes widened.
“Storage Magical Artifact! You are a Cultivator!”
This ability to conjure things out of thin air could only be achieved with a Storage Magical Artifact!
Jiang Ping'an swung his knife at Cui Xiao.
Cui Xiao quickly blocked.
“Clang clang clang!”
Their weapons collided, sparks flying.
“Haha~ Heaven has eyes, I didn’t expect to encounter such a great Opportunity!”
Cui Xiao suddenly laughed wildly; this young man must have picked up a treasure and embarked on the path of Cultivation.
This could explain why the opponent was so strong.
Cui Xiao had always yearned for Cultivation, but he had no Cultivation Technique and no Cultivation resources, so he could only learn the most arduous Martial Skills.
Now, this young man had displayed things that indicated he possessed a Cultivation Technique!
That meant, as long as he killed the opponent, he could obtain these Opportunities!
After the shock came excitement and greed.
“You are very powerful, roughly at the third level of Qi Condensation Realm, but you haven’t learned any offensive spells, have you?”
Cui Xiao sneered, and the black thin-bladed long knife in his hand suddenly swung with force.
“Crack~”
Jiang Ping'an’s ordinary military knife was cut off again.
Jiang Ping'an’s expression changed, and he retreated frantically.
Cui Xiao swung the knife in his hand, pursuing him.
“Has no one told you that among peers, Cultivators shouldn’t easily engage in close combat with Martial Artists?”
“It seems you don’t understand anything. You really must have picked up a Cultivation Technique and have no School or Master.”
“Your Opportunity is mine!”
Seeing the young man acting so foolishly, Cui Xiao confirmed that the opponent had no background, and the knife in his hand suddenly accelerated.
Jiang Ping'an’s expression changed, and he quickly raised his broken knife to block.
However, a shocking scene appeared before him.
The opponent’s knife turned into a phantom, and at some point, it passed through the broken knife, striking towards his head!
“Bang!”
A protective talisman burst out with a green light, blocking the opponent’s attack.
Jiang Ping'an took the Opportunity to retreat frantically, the fear of death making his heart pound.
What was that strike just now! Why did a phantom appear?
“Protective Magic Treasure!!”
Cui Xiao’s eyes turned red with envy; with this item, his survival rate on the battlefield would greatly increase.
Why did this brat have so many Opportunities?
These Opportunities would all be his! He must get them!
Seeing Cui Xiao charge over, Jiang Ping'an once again took out a military knife to meet him.
The previous situation reappeared; he clearly saw that he had blocked the opponent’s knife, yet somehow the opponent’s knife passed through again and hit the protective shield.
“Haha, aren’t you surprised? This is the Martial Skill ‘Phantom Blade’, but even if I didn’t know Martial Skills, we Martial Artists can still win against you ordinary Cultivators in close combat!”
“What’s more, you haven’t learned any offensive spells at all, so you’re dead certain!”
Cui Xiao began to launch a psychological attack on Jiang Ping'an.
The psychological state during a duel would affect the outcome of the duel.
He didn’t believe this young man could withstand it.
Sure enough, upon hearing Cui Xiao’s words, Jiang Ping'an’s attacks and reactions showed problems.
Jiang Ping'an knew almost nothing about Cultivation; he didn’t know what a Martial Artist was, nor what Martial Skills or spells were.
If it weren’t for the protective talisman, he would be dead by now!
Cui Xiao’s knife attacked the protective talisman once again, and the light on the talisman became increasingly dim.
If this continued, the protective talisman’s energy would dissipate, and Jiang Ping'an would surely die.
“Captain is mighty! Kill this brat!”
“This brat is the Captain’s Opportunity!”
“Haha, Captain, when you rise to prominence in the future, don’t forget us little brothers!”
Ordinary soldiers couldn’t intervene in this battle because they could barely see the fight between the two.
However, they could see Jiang Ping'an being forced to retreat steadily.
Jiang Ping'an wanted to escape, but he was so suppressed by the opponent that he couldn’t run away at all.
Jiang Ping'an regretted acting without knowing the opponent’s strength; he wasn’t the only one in this world with extraordinary power.
He didn’t want to die! He still had to avenge his parents! He hadn’t even seen Hu Niu get married! He wanted to live!
Calm down, calm down, the opponent must have a weakness.
His father had told him to always stay calm, no matter what.
Jiang Ping'an took a deep breath, suppressing his fear and impatience.
Slowly, he once again kept up with Cui Xiao’s attacks.
Cui Xiao’s heart trembled; this young man had actually calmed down.
What strong Heart-Nature!
If he were a soldier, he would definitely become an important figure!
However, even so, the opponent was still going to die!
This young man didn’t know spells and was no match for a Martial Artist in terms of strength.
This young man’s Opportunity belonged to him, Cui Xiao!
Strike after strike landed on the protective shield, and the shield was on the verge of shattering.
At this moment, Jiang Ping'an finally discovered the opponent’s weakness.
Greed.
The opponent’s eyes were full of greed.
He thought of the time when he and his father caught monkeys; they would put fruit into a cage, and the monkey, for the sake of the fruit, would reach into the cage, and then its hand would get stuck in the cage.
The monkey could escape if it just let go, but it would rather be caught than let go of the fruit and escape.
This was the price of greed.
“Crack~”
The energy on the protective talisman dissipated, and the protective shield broke.
