Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 695

Chapter 695 Ten Years

Chapter 695: Ten years
have passed, and time has flowed like water.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

Xun Heihu has grown into a handsome young man of twenty-five years old, walking on the country road.

“It’s been ten years… I’m finally back.”

He sighed in his heart, looking at his hometown approaching, and felt a little timid: “I wonder how Uncle Luo and his family are doing? How many children did Sister Cuihua give birth to…”

A few steps further, I saw a roadside tea stall.

The world was not peaceful at that time, and anyone who dared to open a tea stall on the roadside had some skills.

They even only opened during the day, packing up all their belongings and hiding in the county town at night.

Xun Heihu found a bench and sat down. He looked at the stall owner, who was obviously a family, and said to the young wife, “Shopkeeper, can I have a bowl of coarse tea and ten steamed buns? Do you have any meat?”

“Yes, yes!”

The wife had big hands and feet, but she worked very skillfully. She wiped the table with a linen cloth and said, “Sir, you are in for a treat. My family just bought 20 kilograms of beef. It’s very good to eat with wine after it’s braised…”

“There’s beef?”

Xun Heihu was a little surprised. Cows were precious means of production in ancient times, and it was illegal to slaughter them rashly.

Of course, the world is in chaos now, with sectarian separatism…it may not be that strict, but I’m afraid only the wealthy and powerful families will occasionally kill a cow for food.

It is really strange to eat it in such a small country shop.

“Isn’t it…”

The shopkeeper was about to say something when he saw a group of people wearing swords and knives, obviously martial artists, coming over. He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them: “Dear guests, please take a seat…”

His attitude was obviously much more polite than that towards Xun Heihu.

Xun Heihu looked at the coarse cloth clothes and the ordinary sun hat on his body, but didn’t take it seriously.

He glanced at the person who came and was suddenly startled.

It would be fine if these gangsters were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, but the key point is that they have patterns of birds of prey embroidered on their chests, which make them look extremely ferocious.

“Why are the Five Animal Sect disciples here?”

“No, there’s also… her?”

Xun Heihu quickly turned his back, ate the steamed bun in big mouthfuls, and occasionally took a sip of tea.

“Senior Sister Jiang… this time you will lead the team to hunt down the ‘Eighteen Black Wolves’, and we will surely succeed.”

A male disciple looked at the heroic Jiang Yuyan with admiration and a little inferiority in his eyes.

“Each of the Eighteen Black Wolf Riders is an entry-level warrior. The three leaders have internal strength cultivation, so they cannot slack off…”

Even though Jiang Yuyan was wearing the same brocade clothes, her body was curved where it should be, with smooth lines, just like a female leopard, and her voice was steady and powerful.

‘I didn’t expect… after not seeing you for ten years, Yuyan has also joined the Five Animals Sect. It seems that she is not just an ordinary sixth-rank. Could it be that she has been promoted to the fifth-rank?’

Xun Heihu’s heart moved, and he felt somewhat relieved for his old friend.

Just then, he picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and his eyes suddenly focused.

“Haha, store owner… bring out the good wine and food quickly.”

This ordinary country inn was obviously very busy today, as another group of roughly dressed men entered the store, clamoring for drinks.

When a man drinks, he likes to brag:
“I’m not bragging, my ‘Heaven-Destroying Hand’ is good enough to be a top-grade skill. It’s a pity that the instructors of the five major academies were blind and didn’t accept me…”

“Haha, Big Head Brother is a true warrior of the first rank, and he is also good friends with ‘Nie Renlong’ who is number one on the New Style Ranking.”

“Nie Renlong is the first on the New Style Ranking? Could he be the genius who possesses ‘dragon tendons and tiger bones’ but was misjudged by the Five Animal Sect? It’s only been a few years…”

“Hehe, anyway, the Five Animal Sect has been slapped in the face now. The higher Nie Renlong’s ranking is, the more embarrassed they will be…”

When these words were spoken, the disciples of the Five Animals Sect found it hard to accept them.

Nie Renlong is the current number one on the New Trends List, and has the nickname “The Dragon Among Men”. However, it is said that when he was young, his physique was not obvious, and his inner beauty was missed when he was feeling his bones. He suffered a lot of setbacks, and even his fiancée broke off the engagement…

But then he became a disciple of a master, and he rose all the way and finally suppressed the contemporary chief disciple of Wuqin Sect, ‘Du Qiankun’. The two of them fought three times, and Du Qiankun was defeated every time, which made it impossible for Wuqin Sect to conduct internal operations to improve its ranking.

“Senior Sister Jiang…”

Several disciples looked at Jiang Yuyan, and saw Jiang Yuyan shaking her head. They could only swallow their anger and concentrate on eating.

At this time, a shrill voice rang out from the group of men: “It’s not the first time that the Five Animal Sect has lost its treasure… Have you heard about it? Now in Lingzhou next door, the number one on the Hidden Dragon List, ‘Xun Heihu’, is said to be from Chuzhou, and was later forced to leave his hometown…”

Hearing this, Xun Heihu felt inexplicably guilty.

He fled far away with his parents and then settled down in Lingzhou.

My parents hid their identities, went to the countryside, bought land, and became small landlords.

He tried to join the Qinglong Sect, the largest sect in Lingzhou, but the Qinglong Sect only liked locals.

If he wants to join, he has to go through the “Foreign Affairs Hall” route and do enough dirty and tiring work.

If he had no choice, Xun Heihu might just have to bear it.

However, he had several books of inheritance and the precious treasure Zhenwu Talisman in his hands, so he did not accept this humiliation and chose to become a wandering knight.

And the fact is that when it comes to comparing talents, no matter how gifted or wealthy one is, one cannot compare to someone who has cheats!
In just ten years, he has won the first place on the Lingzhou Hidden Dragon Ranking!

The Lingzhou Hidden Dragon List is similar to the Chuzhou New Style List, both only rank young masters, and the top of the list is at the fourth level of the fetal breathing realm.

And this is just Xun Heihu’s apparent strength.

“Damn it… You street performers, how dare you slander the Overlord of Chuzhou like this? I will teach you a lesson today!”

One disciple finally couldn’t bear it anymore, and with a whistle, he grabbed with his claws.

Even though it was just an ordinary Eagle Claw Technique, with the support of internal strength, it already had the power to crush everything in its path!

“Um?”

The group of big men roared: “Dare to pick a fight?”

He immediately started fighting with the disciples of the Five Animals Sect.

…

“Eh? Something’s wrong…”

Xun Heihu said to himself, “Senior… there’s a spice in the beef that’s not right. If it’s combined with tea, it seems to speed up the dissipation of one’s internal energy… Of course, this change will be very obvious. Once discovered, it’s possible that an internal energy expert will use his internal energy to force the poison out of the body… But if you’re fighting, your internal energy is already being consumed drastically, so it might be overlooked…”

With the teachings of Xun Laoliu and his many years of experience in the martial arts world, Xun Heihu is now a qualified veteran in the martial arts world and will not be fooled by this method.

But it’s hard to say about the group of disciples from the Five Animals Sect.

really!

At a certain moment, those big men looked at each other, and suddenly made some surprising moves or used weapons.

This is to directly upgrade the common fights in the martial arts world into a life-and-death struggle.

“not good!”

At this time, Jiang Yuyan also noticed something wrong.

Swish!
A silver sword shaped like chopsticks appeared in her hand and she made a sword flower.

There was a flash of silver light, like mercury pouring out on the ground. The peasant woman who had been hiding on the side of the shop suddenly fell down holding her neck, with blood gushing out.

“Senior Sister? You killed the wrong person…”

At this time, a disciple from the Five Animal Sect who didn’t understand the situation shouted.

“Oh no, my inner strength…”

“The internal energy disappears too quickly…there’s a problem!”

However, there were only a few stupid people. By this time, the disciples of the Five Animals Sect also realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

“Haha, An Qingzi is waiting for you!”

Accompanied by a rough sound, countless hidden weapons flew out.

After a wave of dark green children, there were only two or three disciples of the Five Animal Sect who were still able to stand.

From the back kitchen, an old man and a muscular man walked out, both with grim smiles on their faces: “Is it so great to be an internal force master? How dare you come to wipe out our Eighteen Black Wolves? It’s not like we haven’t killed internal force masters before…”

“Huh? It’s actually a black wolf trap?”

The remaining Five Animal Sect disciples were horrified; they had been poisoned by the ‘Strength-Exhausting Powder’ and their internal energy was almost wasted.

Today, they are no different from ordinary seventh or eighth rank hard skill warriors.

Facing the Eighteen Black Wolves, there is no way out!
“Huh? Why is there only one left?”

Seeing Xun Heihu still eating, Old Black Wolf was slightly startled. “Quickly kill him, then we’ll kill these brats and leave right away… No matter how powerful the Five Animal Sect is, can they still capture people across states? If we go to another place, we can be heroes again.”

“Hehe… the boss is the boss. Before we set off, let’s clean up all the nearby villages. This time, there is no need to worry about long-term efforts. We will really reap a lot.”

The third in command next to him laughed.

“The nearby… village… was washed?”

Xun Heihu suddenly looked up and the steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground.

“Eh? You are…”

When Jiang Yuyan saw Xun Heihu, a hint of hesitation immediately appeared on her face: “Xun…Heihu?”

“Um?”

The Eighteen Black Wolves were shocked. They had deliberately used Nie Renlong and Xun Heihu to provoke these Five Animals Sect disciples in order to stir up a fight.

Otherwise, they are not blind and cannot see the marks on Jiang Yuyan and the others’ clothes…

But I didn’t expect that the real owner was right next to me?

Isn’t this just too much of a coincidence?

“You… looted the surrounding countryside?”

Xun Heihu let out a low growl and his body shook.

Puff, puff, puff!
The eighteen Black Wolf Riders fell down without even seeing a human figure.

Even the three leaders who possess internal strength are the same.

“What?”

When Jiang Yuyan saw this scene, she finally understood what it meant to be the best young man in the state!
Even though she had practiced hard for many years and had already reached the fifth level of martial arts – Chaoyuan Realm! She was considered a peak master of the acquired realm.

But facing such a congenital master, he would still be defeated as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

She is like this, not to mention these thieves.

Bang!
The old man was pinched by the neck and pressed against the wall: “Tell me… did you rob Bajia Village?”

Xun Heihu’s voice was low.

“hehe……”

The old man’s mouth was bleeding, and he knew he would not survive today: “Forget it… I’ve already eaten and slept, it’s not a loss!”

Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, his neck twisted strangely, and his body was thrown aside casually…
