The First Master of History The First Volume of Wulin Chapter 6: Wanted

  "Three Immortal Swords of Linked Rings, a name that lives up to its reputation!" He pulled the long sword out from the man's chest and muttered to himself: "Jin Dada didn't deceive people after all!"

  He then showed off a bit, holding his sword in his right hand and creating a beautiful sword flower as he stood proudly on the spot. At the same time, he thought to himself, "This time that cheap sister of mine will finally have some change in her opinion of me, won't she?"

  Sneaking a peek, I didn't expect my fellow disciple Ning to be wiping her long sword with some tattered cloth she had found who-knows-where - the same sword that had just killed many people and was now stained with fresh blood.

  Actually, Ye Wen's long sword is almost the same, and since they are not using some kind of extraordinary treasure sword, there is no magical function that can avoid blood from dripping, so every time they use it, they have to take good care of it, otherwise it will be scrapped after two or three uses.

  So, at this time, Ning Ruxue thought of maintaining her long sword first, and as for why her senior brother's swordsmanship had become more powerful, it was secondary.

  He was secretly amazed in his heart and couldn't understand what sword technique his senior brother had just used, how it was so swift and fierce: "Looking at that posture, it seems to be not our sect's sword technique?"

  Shu Shan Sect is a small sect, and the martial arts within the sect are not particularly extraordinary. They're only slightly better than those taught in ordinary martial arts schools. Even when compared to slightly larger martial arts schools, they don't have any outstanding features. This is also one of the reasons why Shu Shan Sect has been declining for six generations despite having a steady succession of leaders.

  After all, most people learn martial arts today to achieve a reputation as a hero, and at the very least, they must learn some skills to protect their lives and property, and all of these have one prerequisite, which is to learn good martial arts.

  So no matter who, they didn't think much of the unimpressive and ordinary Wugong Shanshangpai. No one came to pay respects, and this small sect naturally declined further. Just seeing Ye Wen's master's only two disciples were both abandoned babies picked up from the mountain can tell you a thing or two.

  Therefore, there is no so-called ultimate skill or secret transmission within the Shushan Sect. The basic sword skills of the sect have already included all the moves of this small sect. Except for learning some basic fist and footwork when they first entered the sect, Ning Ruxue and Ye Wen practiced nothing but this set of swordsmanship.

  But the sword move Ye Wen used just now was not any of the moves in Shu Shan Jian.

  "Although it looks similar to some moves, it's absolutely not the same thing! Moreover, the Book Mountain Swordsmanship is simple and quick, but it doesn't have such a sharp edge!"

  Ning Xue didn't understand why, but after putting away the long sword, she began to search the bodies of the several thieves, her mind constantly thinking about the strange changes in her senior brother over the past few days.

  "That day during the martial arts competition, I didn't see him use this move either. Could it be that he didn't know this move back then? But these past few days, he's been with me all along, and I haven't seen him practice any martial arts... This is really strange!"

  Ye Wenke didn't know that he had aroused Ning Ruxue's suspicion because of the Three Immortals Sword, and he was searching for some valuable things on several men along with Ning Ruxue.

  He didn't understand what Ning Ruxue was doing at first, but when he saw his cheap master sister flipping out a few pieces of silver from a man's body, he suddenly understood.

  "Black is eating black..."

  Kill the robbers and take their belongings, which is indeed a case of "black eating black". Moreover, so-called martial artists, even if they claim to be righteous, are actually not much different from gang members in later times. Therefore, Ye Wen's definition of Ning Ruxue's behavior is not entirely wrong.

  In addition, the economic situation of these two people is really bad at this time. If they don't want to starve and freeze starting tomorrow, then they should hurry up and find some money. Now that there's free money being handed over, he has no reason not to take it.

  However, it was strange that Ye Wen would occasionally find some copper coins on the ground, which left him bewildered and wondering how several people fighting could drop so many copper coins.

  But soon he remembered that Ning Ruxue had suddenly splashed out a large piece of yellowish stuff during the fight, and at that time, the action was too fast, plus more attention to the movements of several people's hands, so I didn't care what Ning Ruxue threw.

  "Isn't it copper coins?"

  While making such an inference, Ye Wen collected the copper coins on the ground one by one into his hands. At the same time, he also saw that his junior sister was searching for valuables from several corpses around her, and then she lowered her head to search the ground back and forth, occasionally picking up a copper coin and carefully collecting it.

  "Sister, your move 'Qian Kun Yi Zhong' is just right!"

  Perhaps it was the oppressive atmosphere, or maybe it was just that neither of them spoke as they lay amidst a sea of corpses, but Ye Wen felt quite uneasy, so he opened his mouth to crack a joke and adjust the mood, also allowing his hands, which had begun to tremble, to calm down slightly - whether it was because he was slow-witted or something else, when killing, he hadn't felt anything, but now that they were flipping through the corpses, he started to feel unwell.

  "Qian Kun Yi Zhi?"

  Ning Ruxue didn't know what this legendary kung fu was all about, but just hearing the name seemed like a very powerful kung fu. "Is that He's family's ultimate skill? Why have I never heard of it?"

  "Uh..." Ye Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally had to start making things up: "This乾坤一掷 is indeed a unique skill of the school, and it's not any sect's kung fu. The actual method is very simple and clear, basically anyone can practice it. There's just one condition that needs to be met!"

  "What conditions?" As soon as the martial arts were mentioned, Ning Ruxue stopped entangling herself with her own brother's mysterious swordsmanship and began to wonder what kind of kung fu this ultimate skill that anyone could practice was.

  "We need money!"

  "Money?" Ning Ruxue initially looked puzzled, but when she remembered the copper coins in her hand, she recalled the handful of copper coins she had scattered earlier during the intense fight to stall a few opponents.

  In fact, she had caught a glimpse of her senior brother during the fight, who had raised a cloud of dust to block his opponent's line of sight and then took advantage of it to rush up and kill the enemy. At that moment, she thought that if she wanted to quickly kill the enemy, this method was not bad.

  She didn't have a suitable place to grab the soil nearby, and she couldn't suddenly squat down halfway through, so in her haste, she casually scattered a handful of copper coins from her body, not thinking of anything else. Afterwards, she felt that this behavior was not very glorious, let alone learning it from her disdained senior brother.

  At this time, when Ye Wen said it out loud, she still thought Ye Wen was making a veiled criticism of her, and immediately her face changed: "It's better than the despicable tricks of the Master's brother who blinded people with dust!"

  After that, he didn't bother with Ye Wen anymore and carefully searched the belongings of several people on the ground. Ye Wen was a bit bewildered by Ning Ruxue's glare, but since she didn't want to talk to him, he didn't have the habit of going up to her to provoke a fight, so he didn't make another sound and focused on cleaning up the bodies instead.

  Eight people left eight corpses, except for the two killed by Ye Wen's strangulation, which had too much fresh blood on them and might accidentally get themselves stained. The others were easy to handle, and soon the two of them had turned out everything that could be found on the eight people's bodies.

  Apart from the clothes on their bodies, they had nothing else left.

  "It's a total of eighteen taels of fragmented silver and over a hundred wen of copper coins! Not a small amount!" For Ye Wen, who had no concept of the purchasing power of this world's currency, he could only judge from Ning Ruxue's gradually clearing face that this was already a not-so-small sum.

  Apart from this, he also turned up some notices on several people. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now I can take a closer look at the firelight. Although the bodies were still there, they had been thrown into the corner by two men, and the bonfire was rekindled. The two men were preparing to rest before burying the bodies - after all, killing people is against the law, not something that can be casually publicized.

  It was just a few notices turned over by Ye Wen that saved the two of them from this trouble...

  "Arrest warrant?" Ning Ruxue took a look at these few papers, immediately recognizing what they were. She snatched them over and carefully read them twice before bursting out laughing: "I didn't think that these several guys would actually be somewhat famous bandits in this area, currently being pursued by the government!"

  But it is said that these eight men are notorious bandits in the surrounding areas of Book Mountain, who like to intercept passing merchants and rob them of their money. Occasionally, they would also harm people's lives. Moreover, these eight individuals rarely appear in front of people, and when they do, they quickly kill their opponents and then swiftly flee, so they have never been caught. The authorities are helpless and can only offer a reward for their capture.

  In fact, among these eight people, except for the eldest's martial arts being somewhat decent, the others are quite mediocre. If they really encountered a master, 99% of them would be defeated on the spot.

  These few people are very cautious, if they feel that the idea is too hard, they will never take action, so they have been doing evil for a while but have always been safe and sound without anything happening. Today, these few people just found out that they were wanted, and they gathered here to discuss whether to go somewhere else to avoid the wind, which was why Ye Wen and others encountered them, and that's why they had their own arrest warrants on them.

  It was just unexpected that several people fell down because of two young-looking young men, except for losing their usual judgment after drinking, and also made wrong judgments about some situations, which led to the death of several people.

  Firstly, they underestimated Ning Ruxue's skills. Secondly, they took Ye Wen as an ordinary young knight from the Jianghu. Lastly, even the strongest elder didn't expect that Ye Wen would unleash such a swift and fierce sword move at the last moment, and before he could react, he fell under Ye Wen's sword - Ye Wen had taken advantage of the element of surprise.

  It can be said that a few people deserved to die in this way, which is why such a series of events occurred.

  The deaths of just a few people brought in a lot of silver for Ye Wen and his partner, especially since the eight men were also being pursued by the authorities with a bounty on their heads, which Ye Wen and his partner could collect by turning in their corpses.

  "If that's the case, then not to mention the next meal, but even buying a new place to live is not impossible!" Seeing the reward money of several people, Ning Yuxue finally showed a smile on her face.

  And Ye Wen, when he heard about buying a place to live, suddenly felt dizzy in his head for no reason, as if there was a voice constantly trying to tell him something.

  Watched two matches last night... all kinds of annoying...
