Chapter 343 The Enemy Comes
The wind stopped and the rain stopped.

In the night, the whole village was silent.

After eating a cooked meal and drinking hot soup, the old people in the village have already rested.

Aunt Wu forcefully pushed Liu Ping out of the kitchen, and said loudly:

"Beating the robbers and cooking another meal for everyone is not enough for you to be tired? Leave these things to Aunt Wu, and you go to accompany your friends."

"Then trouble Aunt Wu."

Liu Ping smiled, walked to the fire and sat down.

The firelight reflected on Xu Sheng's body, elongating his shadow, extending into the darkness.

"What are you thinking?" Liu Ping asked.

"If I had been promising back then, I wouldn't have been hid in the haystack by my master and watched him being killed by someone from the cult," Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping posed a boxing frame at random, and the movements of his hands kept changing until he reached the No.15 pose.

"Did you learn the Fourteen Forms back then?" He asked.

"Yes." Xu Sheng said.

"How old were you back then?"

"16 is old."

Liu Ping nodded, and said: "The No. 15 Blood Surge Fist is a hurdle. Your master must have been afraid that you were still young, and your energy and blood would not be enough, and hard practice would hurt your body, so he never taught it to you."

"Now that you are thirty years old and have practiced martial arts, you can just practice this style."

Xu Sheng stood up, put on a fist and said: "I never believe that this boxing technique is used to strengthen the body."

"Strengthening your body is a good thing, it will help you lay a solid foundation, there is nothing wrong with it," Liu Ping said.

"Then why do you want to find another way and create another boxing technique?"

"That's a martial art used to kill people. The purpose is different, so the boxing method is naturally different."

Liu Ping also stood up, stepped forward, and struck forward three times in quick succession.

A burst of blood flooded his face, only to hear the sound of bones around him, extending to his limbs.

Xu Sheng was moved and said:
"Muscles and bones are screaming, this is the beginning of body training, you are only under 16 years old!"

Liu Ping moved his body and found that his strength had increased by [-]%, and there were some unspeakable changes besides that.

He couldn't help but lightly said: "This is where you are, don't be surprised, and continue to practice with me."

"Yes." Xu Sheng said.

He imitated Liu Ping's posture just now, and punched out.

"Among the masters you've seen, how strong is the strongest?" Liu Ping asked while watching.

Xu Sheng said: "Pierce through the sky with a hundred steps, and break a tree with one punch."

Liu Ping sighed.

Xu Sheng said: "The tree burned and destroyed, and the landslide behind the tree."

Liu Ping closed his eyes and thought about it, recalling the feeling when he punched just now.

Every time a fist is punched, there is a fiery airflow closely following the fist, as if it will explode at any time.

Elements are attached.

——Is this the so-called Flame Protection?

If this is the case, maybe I can do the step Xu Sheng said in the future.

It seems that I have to find a way to get in touch with a system of martial arts knowledge.

"...Aside from the Blood Surge Fist, do you know anything else?" Liu Ping asked.

Xu Sheng said with shame: "I fought through the troubled times with the half-set of the blood gushing fist of my master, and barely survived. I have never been taught other methods by an expert."

"Can you survive half a set of punches?" Liu Ping asked.

"In this chaotic world, inheritance is rare, and even many martial arts inheritances have long since disappeared, just like my master's school." Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

There was a sound of horseshoes outside the stockade.

Aunt Wu ran out of the kitchen in a panic, holding an iron basin and was about to beat it.

Liu Ping waved his hand and said: "The old people are already asleep, don't wake them up, Xu Sheng and I will go and check the situation."

Aunt Wu trembled and said, "It's a bandit! It must be a bandit, otherwise, why would you come to our village at such a late hour?"

Liu Ping gave Xu Sheng a look.

The two walked to the gate of the village one after the other, and looked out through the crack of the door.

I saw dozens of people riding horses, slowly coming down from the opposite hillside, approaching the village.

"Is it the gang you joined?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, but it's a little strange... They are not usually so quiet." Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping looked carefully, and saw that the bandits were in ragged clothes, each brandishing their weapons, but their expressions were dull, as if they had fallen into a dream.

Not right.

"Wait, the leader seems to have changed, and the original leader is fighting - look!" Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping opened the gate of the village and walked out, without turning his head, he said: "Xu Sheng, you guard the inside of the village, if someone sneaks up on the residents in the village, you have to take action."

"Yes." Xu Sheng said.

Liu Ping walked towards the bandits and stood still under a big pine tree.

The bandits also slowed down, lined up on horseback, and reined in their horses to stand opposite Liu Ping.

The leader wore a bamboo hat, and said dully: "Do you people in the village want to join the religion? There are many benefits to joining the religion, not to be plagued, not to be killed, and the brotherhood of the religion will protect you with all your strength, and there will be gods to save you when you die. .”

"No." Liu Ping said.

"Can you represent everyone?" the man asked.

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

The man nodded and said to his back, "Kill him."

More than a dozen people rode forward and rushed forward, but saw Liu Ping hiding behind a tree.

"He's behind the tree!"

"Go around."

"Don't let him get away!"

In the darkness, they yelled, waved their weapons, and rode their horses around the big tree.

Sudden--

A burst of flames erupted, and the horses screamed and stood up in shock, throwing the bandits flying.

A few people barely calmed down the horse, and went around behind the tree.

But he saw a hand stretched out from the thick branches and leaves on the tree, and quickly slapped the heads of the bandits one by one.

A series of crisp sounds.

The bandit's head was torn apart like a smashed watermelon, and his body fell to the ground.

Liu Ping jumped down from the tree, stopped and said, "Sales can't kill people, that's why I hate cults."

He walked towards the bandits step by step, the big tree was burning behind him, and the branches kept crackling, like torches in the night.

The bandits scattered suddenly.

Someone shouted in panic: "Elemental Fist! He has awakened Elemental Fist!"

flutter--

A dagger pierced the man's heart.

"Calm down."

The bandit leader said in a low voice.

All the bandits fell silent, gathered their horses one after another, and returned to the leader's side.

The leader rode forward, stared at Liu Ping and said, "You used fire."

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"The one who burns the fire dies," said the leader.

"Who stipulated it?" Liu Ping asked.

"—This is God's will."

"Did you hear what it said? Are you familiar with it?"

Liu Ping let go of his fist, and the scorching air around him disappeared immediately.

Seeing this, the leader said, "Now you have another way to go."

"Say." Liu Ping said.

"Join our divine religion and serve as an extermination messenger, and you will live forever and keep your blessings forever." The leader said.

"Are you the Messenger of Extermination?" Liu Ping asked with interest.

"Of course." The leader said.

"I want to see if you will live forever." Liu Ping said.

The leader drew out the long sword at the side of his waist and said, "Stupid."

He urged his horse forward, facing Liu Ping and raised his long sword high.

I saw a blur of white light suddenly emanating from the long sword, stabbing down fiercely.

Between lightning and flint——

Liu Ping let go of the long sword, got on the horse, grabbed the opponent's hand holding the sword and wiped it upwards forcefully.

A human head flew out obliquely and rolled to the ground.

Dodging swords, turning over, getting on horses, grabbing hands, wiping necks——

The whole process was smooth and smooth, and it seemed that the two parties had a tacit understanding and cooperated well.

Liu Ping pushed the headless corpse off the horse, sighed and said:
"This is immortality and eternal blessing?"

All around was quiet.

Even though the bandit leader seemed to have some tricks, from the perspective of fighting skills, there was almost no room for [-]% in front of Liu Ping.

The bandits looked at each other.

"Run!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

The bandits beat their horses, beat their horses, ran and ran, and disappeared into the depths of the woods in just a few breaths.

There was a round of applause.

I saw two men wearing standard leather armor turning out from behind a big tree.

"Heroes are born in youth, and the ancients never deceived me."

One person exclaimed.

"Who are you?" Liu Ping asked.

The man in standard leather armor threw a token over.

Liu Ping took a look, but saw the word "Xun" engraved on the token.

"We are patrolling in the county seat. We learned of the traces of the cult, so we came here to investigate secretly." One person said.

"Boy, you are very skilled, why don't you come back to the county with us and find a job?" Another person said.

Liu Ping thought for a while, and asked, "Is there any kung fu that I can learn when I'm on a job?"

The two laughed.

One person said: "Of course, the eighteen martial arts are taught by special personnel, otherwise how can we catch the evil and the evil?"

"Okay, I'll go with you." Liu Ping said.
