Chapter 63: Horizontal One-Character Slash
"Wait a minute..." Blake suddenly called out to stop Gian, who was about to turn around and leave. He tossed out four porcelain bottles: "The red one is for treating injuries, the blue one can quickly restore your fighting spirit. If you kill any wild beasts, you can take their fur back to the village tailor to sell, and use the money to buy injury medicine and spirit-restoring potions later."
"Is this a restorative potion?" Qian Jin put the wound medicine into the leather pouch at his waist, his palm feeling somewhat hot as he stared at the two blue bottles of medicine, his heart filled with doubt and shock.
Even the Qian family, who possessed the bloodline of the Elf King Warrior, had no records of a potion that could restore Dou Qi. To quickly recover Dou Qi in a short period of time, one would have to rely on a large quantity of high-grade Dou Stones and form a Dou Ling Hui Tian Array.
"Is there really a potion that can restore one's internal energy?" Qian Jin thought to himself as he carried his Zidao knife, his eyes darting towards the nearby pharmacy. If that potion could truly restore internal energy, he would definitely have to find an opportunity to learn how to make it!
As long as one is a warrior, there's no such thing as being unscathed! Even if it's just learning how to treat injuries, this potion is worth studying.
Qianjin walked along, thinking to himself, when he suddenly found himself standing at the entrance of the village. Looking out through the gate, he could still see a familiar "old friend" staring at the village entrance with an extremely unfriendly gaze.
Three-headed giant wolf! Qian Jin looked at the opponent with a serious expression, its body was even taller and more majestic than he had imagined. Its four limbs stood on the ground, about half the height of a person, and a long, thick tail dragged on the ground. Six bright red eyes shone with an attacking desire, revealing rows of sharp teeth that could easily bite through human bones.
Qianjin was furious, being stared at by the three wolves, his heart secretly burning with anger. The last time they had snuck up on him, he hadn't even settled the score yet, and now they were standing brazenly outside the village, thinking that three heads were better than one?
Ji Dou Knife's hilt was suddenly gripped tightly in his hand, and the sixth-level peak Dou Qi instantly transmitted into the Ji Dou Knife. Gan Jing vaguely seemed to hear a loud, shrill whine from the war sword in his hand. His legs were spread apart, his body like a taut bowstring. The moment the Dou Qi entered his feet, his ankles suddenly ground against the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust on the dry earth. The Zhan Ma Dao was dragged behind him as he took three swift steps forward, each step covering a distance of over three meters.
Qian Jin led the charge, his hands grasping the two-foot-long hilt of his saber as it flashed down from the sky like a bolt of lightning. The blade sliced through the air with a shrill whistling sound, as if scraping against sand grains.
The slash of the horse knife is simple and quick, without any hesitation or dragging, and together with the dryness, the whole person bursts out with a fearless and unstoppable momentum.
Three-headed giant wolf four legs slightly curved, body suddenly shook wanting to dodge, but still slower than the dry and powerful knife by one step, the snow-bright saber directly cut into the middle of its middle head.
Whoa! Just as the blade of the Zhan Ma Dao sliced into the three-headed giant wolf, it had already cut into its tailbone. The downward pressing blade edge cut through its body entirely, stirring up a sharp gust of air that shot straight at the ground!
With a thud, the body of the three-headed giant wolf was evenly split in two by a single knife. On each half of the body, there were three blood-red wolf eyes, each radiating confusion and astonishment. It couldn't understand how the person it had casually bitten to death just a few days ago could become so ferocious today?
"What?!" Qian Jin stared at the three fallen wolves in shock, when did he become so strong?! Was this what it meant to be a Dou Bing?! The Wolf-Killing Knife didn't even have a single speck of blood on its blade!
Qianjin had never held a combat knife to kill a wild beast, but he also knew that the body of a wild beast was equally tough. Usually, one slash could cut through the bones of a wild beast, and at the same time, feel some resistance in the slashing process.
But just now, when Qian Jing's knife chopped down, there was no feeling of any obstruction at all.
"Is this the power of a Dou Soldier?" Qian Jin stared blankly at the Zhanma Dao in his hand: "I must become a Forging Master, go to the Franlin Blacksmith Shop, and personally forge a Dou Soldier that belongs to me!"
A group of over ten men in tattered clothes and carrying iron knives with ferocious faces suddenly rushed out from a nearby tall grass thicket.
What's going on? Before Qianjin could figure out what was happening, more than a dozen burly men carrying steel knives silently charged towards him.
The man running in the front approached Qianjin first, and without saying a word, he directly raised his knife to chop! Qianjin's ankle exerted force lightly, and her body dodged to one side, avoiding this deadly blow. The hilt of the Zhānmǎdāo (a type of Chinese sword) in her hand swung horizontally, heavily smashing into the man's ribs, and the great force directly sent him flying out.
Another two men rushed up again, Qian Jing raised his knife to block the two falling knives, and slightly bent his knees to jump back, looking at these people who had never met before but came to fight and kill.
"This... won't be like Sanpē no ōkami (Three-Headed Wolf) too, will it?"
Qianjin looked at the person in front of him who was launching an attack, last time he was bitten by a wolf, and when he woke up, there were teeth marks on his throat. If it wasn't for the wolf's mouth not being in the right position, I don't know if his neck would have been bitten off when he woke up. If he had been slashed by these people, would he wake up with blood flowing from his head? Or would he be slashed to death?
"This is really a game?" Qian Jin didn't dare to be careless, the games of the Zhen Ce Imperial Court were all non-lethal, but there had never been such a virtual game before. Who knows if he would be cut down by a single sword and never wake up again.
Ding ding dong dong......
With a stern expression, he continuously parried six or seven slashing attacks, opening his mouth several times to shout but never getting any response from the opponent, as if determined not to turn back until he was killed.
Killing a wolf is still killing a wild beast, and Jian Jin can take action without any burden. However, now that the situation has changed to "killing people", Jian Jin, who had never killed anyone before, hesitated for a moment and couldn't bring himself to do it.
Whoa! With a sudden burst of strength, his arm was slashed open by the knife, and the intense pain made him grit his teeth repeatedly. His heart surged with wave after wave of anger, if this continued he would really be hacked to death!
Seeing the blood of Gan Jing, the ferocious knife-wielding men attacked even more fiercely! Gan Jing began to understand why Rodriguez said that the Academy could only teach warriors skills, but couldn't teach them to become real warriors! Because in the academy, you can't kill people!
"Can't take care of so many!" Qian Jin brandished his sword and shouted: "Whether it's a human or a beast, whoever wants to kill me, I'll kill them!"
A raging fire mixed with the cutting horse knife, slashing down and transforming into a flash of lightning. With a slight tremble of his wrist, he altered the angle and trajectory of the slash, causing the blade to bypass the enemy's raised steel sword and directly sever the opponent's wrist. The swift slash, without any hesitation, chopped into his brain, bursting out from his hip bone!
