chapter 11 The whole story

This punch is as fast as wind and as fierce as fire

It is the sixth move of the Marching Boxing Fist that sets the prairie fire on fire. This move was very familiar to Elio. He had used it more than once before, but when he saw Sherwin's punch, he suddenly noticed a completely different flavor.

The fist wind was so fierce and surging that it was like a wildfire burning in the wilderness, covering the sky and the earth with overwhelming force.

This is also a blazing fire

An idea flashed in Elio mind.

Bang~

The fists of the two had collided together, the air made a dull explosion, and a harsh scream suddenly dispersed.

Deng Deng Deng

Elio felt that his fingers were almost broken, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart. His whole body was violently thrown away, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

If he hadn't tried his best in time, this single blow might have caused him serious damage.

How can this little thing be so powerful in combat?

Elio was horrified in his heart. He was just a skinny boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He originally thought he could be easily dealt with. Who would have thought that this seemingly weak boy turned out to be a ruthless character.

"Good boy, I'll settle the score with you next time."

Elio had already realized that the situation was not good. As soon as he stood firm, his figure flashed away and his few breaths disappeared into the vast night.

Sherwin did not pursue him, but watched him escape. Instead, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt a burning pain in the meridians throughout his body.

Although the blow just now succeeded in repelling Elio, it consumed nearly half of Sherwin's spiritual power. This is not a big deal. The key is that Sherwin original spiritual veins were taken away from his body since he was a child, and the meridians all over his body became fragile. It is so extreme that it cannot bear the extremely violent movement of spiritual power.

Although this Marching Boxing is a widely circulated basic boxing technique among the Imperial Team, it also has its own unique route of movement.

This fist opens and closes widely, it is strong and powerful, like thunder, and moves like lightning. When it is used, one needs to fully mobilize one's own spiritual power, circulate it in the meridians and apertures of the whole body, and gather it between the palms and fingers.

And if the meridians are too fragile, they will not be able to withstand such a violent movement technique.

According to Sherwin's current physical condition, being able to display the full power of "Lighting Fire" is already the limit of his body's endurance.

For example, the last two moves of Marching Fist, "Raging Sea Destroys Mountains" and "Blood Fighting in Ten Directions" are even more violent and fierce. If Sherwin used it forcefully, he would only damage his body, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

Phew~~

Standing in the messy courtyard, Sherwin out a long breath, thinking about the whole battle tonight, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"It seems that the village guard leader Derick and others obviously do not welcome my arrival. Why do they do this?"

Sherwin didn't understand.

"Sherwin, can I come in?" The voice of village chief Rhodes sounded outside the door.

"uncle Rhodes, please come in quickly. I have something urgent to ask you."Sherwin calmed down and quickly opened the door and welcomed Rhodes in.

"Just now"

Sherwin opened his mouth to say something, but Rhodes sighed and waved his hand, "I already know, I don't blame you for this."

Sherwin frowned and said: "uncle Rhodes, I'm new here and don't know much about the situation in the village. Something like this happened suddenly tonight, which really surprised me. I wonder if you can give me some advice."

Rhodes stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, looking at the mess of the battle on the ground. A hint of shame appeared in his expression, and he said after a while: "I didn't even expect that Derick would be so cruel to an outsider like you. It seems that he is determined to join the Qingyang tribe."

Sherwin was thoughtful. He had heard of this place in the Qingyang Tribe. All the living materials needed by the villagers in Feiyun Village needed to be exchanged for spiritual grains at the Qingyang Tribe.

Derick, the guard commander, has been responsible for this matter. He led a group of guards in the village to escort the goods and traveled back and forth between the Qingyang tribe and Feiyun Village.

"Derick is the person with the highest cultivation level in the village, and he has a high prestige in the village. He was not like this originally, but since his son Lian Fei was sent to Donglin City to practice, his whole person has changed. It’s changed.”

Rhodes said slowly, "Lian Fei is a very smart child, and he is also the most talented child in the village. In order for him to go further on the road of spiritual practice, Derick, as a father, paid a huge price. Ask the leader of the Qingyang Tribe to come forward and help send Lian Fei to Donglin City and enter the most famous martial arts hall in the city to practice."

Sherwin listened quietly without interrupting. He knew that things were definitely not that simple.

Sure enough, Rhodes soon revealed the answer: "For a child from a poor village, it is not easy to practice cultivation. The daily expenses alone are a large amount of wealth. In order to allow his child to practice with peace of mind , Derick, and it started to attract the attention of the village.”

"You also know that Derick, as the leader of the village's guards, is fully responsible for transporting the village's spiritual valley to the Qingyang tribe to exchange for supplies. In the past few years, every time our Feiyun Village exchanged supplies, it was equivalent to the empire. The value of three hundred copper coins, but in recent years, the supplies he exchanged have gradually become less and less, and he even returned empty-handed several times."

When Rhodes said this, there was a touch of anger in his voice, "If it was for Lian Fei's cultivation, it would be fine for him to withhold some property privately. Everyone can understand it, but now he has intensified his efforts and sent back more and more materials." There are fewer and fewer people coming, and it has gradually begun to threaten the livelihood problems of the villagers in the village. This is too much."

Sherwin suddenly remembered that when he saw Derick during the day, this guy could be wearing a pendant carved from "red sandalwood cloud wood", which was valuable and could be worth ten imperial silver coins.

Ten silver coins are equivalent to a thousand copper coins.

At the Derick wore a pair of "Spirit Pattern Boots" on his feet that were worth much more than the "Red Sandalwood" pendant.

Sherwin was surprised at that time. He was just a poor villager deep in the Three Thousand Mountains. Even if he had the cultivation level of "Kai Fu" in the fourth level of innate realm, it was impossible to own such expensive things.

But now Sherwin understood that Derick must have taken advantage of his position to secretly withhold a large amount of wealth in recent years.

Rhodes suddenly sighed: "I have reminded Derick many times, asking him to restrain himself and not to be too embarrassed to be popular. As long as it does not threaten the livelihood of the villagers, I will not interfere. Unfortunately, he has already I have been blinded by wealth and will never come back.”

Sherwin asked: "You quarreled with him in the ancestral hall today because of this issue."

Rhodes nodded and said: "Yes, the supplies he brought back this time are the fewest in recent years. It has completely affected the lives of the villagers. In the days to come, everyone will have to live frugally to tide over the difficulties. ”

There was a touch of sadness, anger and pain in the old expression.

"It's indeed too much."

Sherwin frowned, but didn't know what to say.

"But what can we do? He is the only one with the highest cultivation level in the village, and he is the only one who is familiar with the route and connections to the Qingyang tribe. Without him, it will be more difficult for the villagers to survive here."

Rhodes sighed helplessly.

Sherwin muttered: "If you put it this way, Derick just saw that Feiyun Village cannot do without him, so he dared to be so unscrupulous."

Rhodes nodded gloomily.

Sherwin thought for a long time and said: "But why did he send people to deal with me tonight? Could it be that all this has something to do with his defection to the Qingyang tribe?"

"That's what worries me."

Rhodes said worriedly, "I have a feeling that Derick must be secretly planning something detrimental to Feiyun Village. If he succeeds, all the villagers will be implicated."

Sherwin immediately confirmed his speculation in his mind and said: "In this case, maybe it is because of my sudden arrival that Derick has some suspicions, so he wants to send someone to test my background to prevent any damage. His plan"

"Your guess is not wrong."

Rhodes glanced at Sherwin in surprise, as if he didn't expect that a young man of twelve or thirteen years old could have such a keen and intelligent insight.

"now it's right."

A touch of relief appeared on Lin Xun's innocent and pale face, "As long as you understand the reason, you don't have to worry about anything anymore."

"Aren't you afraid that Derick will send people to deal with you again?"

Rhodes couldn't help but ask.

"I already know this, so I will naturally take appropriate precautions. As long as they can't kill me, one day I will make them pay an unbearable price."

Sherwin said casually, his eyes were clear and calm, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, but the content of his words revealed a chilling cruelty.

This is Sherwin. Under his thin and harmless appearance, he has a decisiveness and ruthlessness that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive in that dark mine prison.

Mr.Briggs taught him the means of survival and a heart of unyielding pursuit, which was as warm as the sun. The guards and prisoners of the mine prison made Sherwin soberly aware of what true darkness and cruelty are.

Rhodes stared at Sherwin in a daze for a long time before saying, "You really don't look like a twelve or thirteen year old."

Sherwin smiled and shrugged: "But I am really only thirteen years old this year."

Rhodes waved his hand and stopped talking, saying: "Sherwin, now that you know the situation in the village, you have to think clearly about whether you still decide to stay here. If you stay, it means that it is possible There will be a lot of danger.”

Sherwin said without hesitation: "Why not stay? This is my first place to live in the Zi Yao Empire. I will not go anywhere until I am ready to go to the next destination."

Seeing this, Rhodes said no more, patted Sherwin on the shoulder and said: "You are different from other people of your age, and I don't want to advise you much. Since you have decided to stay, you are a member of Feiyun Village." Officer, although I am not very capable as an old man, I will do my best to protect you."

With that said, Rhodes turned around and left.

Sherwin watched the old man leave. After a long stretch, he murmured, "It's not my character, Sherwin, to be afraid of trouble."

That night, Sherwin did not meditate as usual, but sat alone in the darkness and meditated for a long time. Finally, he got up and opened the old wooden box again with the dim starlight spilling in from the window.

Then, Sherwin placed the yellowed scroll and the mysterious dark gray seal pen on the desk in front of him, took a deep breath, and sat upright.

That night, after Elio escaped from Sherwin home, he hurriedly left Feiyun Village and came to a small hill dozens of miles away.
