Chapter 687: Ten Years

Time flies, years pass like water.

In the blink of an eye, ten years of time had passed.

Song Jingang had grown into a twenty-five-year-old handsome youth, walking on a country path.

"Ten years... finally back."

He felt emotional in his heart, looking at his hometown approaching, but felt a bit timid: 'I don't know how Uncle Luo and the others are doing? How many babies has Sister Cuihua given birth to...'

Taking a few more steps, he saw a tea stall by the road.

In these troubled times, those who dared to open a tea stall by the road all had some martial arts skills.

They even only operated during the day, and at night they rolled up all their belongings and hid in the county town.

Song Jingang found a bench and sat down, looking at the stall owner who was clearly a family, and said to the young daughter-in-law: "Shopkeeper, a bowl of coarse tea, ten steamed buns, do you have meat?"

"Yes, yes!"

The daughter-in-law had rough hands and feet, but she was very capable in her work, wiping the table with a rag: "Guest, you are really lucky, my family just got twenty catties of beef, it's very good for drinking after being braised..."

"You actually have beef?"

Song Jingang was a little surprised. Cattle were precious means of production in ancient times, and slaughtering them rashly was against the law.

Of course, the world is in chaos now, sects are divided... maybe it's not so strict, but I'm afraid only aristocratic families would occasionally kill a cow to eat.

Eating it in such a small country shop was truly a bit strange.

"Isn't it..."

The shopkeeper still wanted to say something, but saw a group of people wearing swords and knives, clearly martial arts people, coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet: "Please sit, guests..."

The attitude was clearly much more polite than to Song Jingang.

Song Jingang looked at their coarse cloth clothes and ordinary sun hat, but didn't take it to heart.

He swept a glance at the newcomers and was suddenly stunned.

These Jianghu people were all dressed in fine clothes, which was fine, but the key was that there were fierce bird patterns embroidered on their chests, looking incomparably ferocious.

'Five Poultry Sect disciples... why come here?'

'No, there is also... her?'

Song Jingang hurriedly turned his back, eating steamed buns in big mouthfuls, occasionally drinking a sip of tea.

"Senior Jiang Shijie... this time you are leading the team to hunt down the 'Black Wolf Eighteen Riders', it will definitely be a success."

A male disciple looked at the heroic Jiang Yuer, his eyes full of admiration and a bit of inferiority.

"The Black Wolf Eighteen Riders are all martial artists who have entered the ranks, and the three leaders have internal energy cultivation, so we cannot be slack..."

Jiang Yuer, even wearing the same fine clothes, had curves where they should be, her whole body lines were smooth, like a female leopard, and her voice was steady and powerful.

'Unexpectedly... ten years have passed, Yuer has also joined the Five Poultry Sect, and it seems she is not an ordinary Sixth Rank, could it be that she has already been promoted to the Fifth Rank?'

Song Jingang felt a move in his heart, and felt a bit relieved for his old friend.

Just at this time, he picked up a chopstick of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly fixed.

"Haha, shopkeeper... bring us the best wine and dishes."

Today, the ordinary country wild shop was obviously very lively, and another wave of rough-looking big men entered the shop, shouting for wine.

And when big men drank wine, they liked to brag:

"I'm not bragging, my 'Heaven-Extinguishing Hand' is enough to enter the ranks, it's just a pity that the masters of the Five Great Academies were blind back then and didn't take me in..."

"Haha, Brother Datou is a real martial artist who has entered the ranks, and he is also a good friend of 'Nie Renlong', the number one on the New Wind Ranking."

"Number one on the New Wind Ranking, Nie Renlong? Could it be that genius who possesses 'Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones' but happened to be missed by the Five Poultry Sect? How many years has it been..."

"Hehe, anyway, the Five Poultry Sect has now been slapped in the face, the higher Nie Renlong is ranked, the more their faces hurt..."

As soon as these words came out, those Five Poultry Sect disciples couldn't accept it.

Nie Renlong was the number one on the New Wind Ranking, with the nickname "Dragon Among Men," but it is said that his bones were not obvious when he was young, but he was introverted, but he was missed during the bone-touching, and suffered all kinds of blows, even his fiancée broke off the engagement...

But later he took a master, soared all the way, and finally suppressed the Five Poultry Sect's current big disciple "Du Qiankun," the two fought three times, and Du Qiankun was defeated, making the Five Poultry Sect unable to do anything about internal operations to improve the ranking.

"Senior Jiang Shijie..."

Several disciples looked at Jiang Yuer, and saw Jiang Yuer shake her head, only able to swallow this breath and bury her head in eating.

Just at this time, only a sharp voice was heard: "The Five Poultry Sect missing treasures is not the first time... Have you heard? Now in the neighboring Lingzhou, the number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, 'Song Jingang', it is said that he is from Chuzhou, and later was forced to go far away..."

Hearing this, Song Jingang felt inexplicably guilty.

He took his parents and flew away ten years ago, and then settled in Lingzhou.

His parents changed their names and surnames, went to the countryside to buy land, and became small landlords.

He tried to join the number one sect in Lingzhou, "Mount Mount Qinglongmen," but the Mount Mount Qinglongmen only liked locals.

If he wanted to join, he had to take the path of the "Foreign Affairs Hall," and do enough dirty work.

If he had no choice, Song Jingang might have pinched his nose and endured it.

But he held several inheritances in his hand, and had the True Martial Talisman as a treasure, so he immediately didn't suffer this grievance and chose to be a Jianghu wanderer.

And facts proved that when it came to the time to compare talent, no matter how talented or wealthy you were, you couldn't beat someone who cheated!

In just ten years, he made a name for himself as the number one on the Lingzhou Hidden Dragon Ranking!

The Lingzhou Hidden Dragon Ranking was similar to the Chuzhou New Wind Ranking, only ranking young experts, and the top of the list was the Fourth Rank Fetal Breath Realm.

And this was only Song Jingang's surface strength.

"Damn it... you guys who sell art in the Jianghu, dare to slander the hegemon of Chuzhou like this, I will teach you a lesson today!"

A disciple finally couldn't bear it, and with a roar, he grabbed out with a claw.

Although it was just an ordinary Eagle Claw Skill, with the blessing of internal energy, it already had the strength of destroying dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!

"Eh?"

That group of big men roared: "Dare to find trouble?"

Immediately, they fought with the Five Poultry Sect disciples.

"Eh? Something is wrong..."

Song Jingang whispered in his heart: "Senior... the spices in the beef just now are not quite right, if combined with tea, it seems to make internal energy dissipate faster... Of course, this change will be very obvious, once discovered, it is possible for an internal energy expert to force the poison out of the body... But if it is during a fight, internal energy is already being consumed violently, it might be ignored..."

With Song Laoliu's personal teaching, plus his years of experience walking in the Jianghu, Song Jingang was already a qualified Jianghu old bird, and wouldn't be shaded by this method.

But those Five Poultry Sect disciples, it was hard to say.

Sure enough!

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

This was upgrading the common fighting in the Jianghu directly to a life-and-death struggle mode.

"Not good!"

At this time, Jiang Yuer also noticed something wrong.

Swish!

A silver thin sword like a chopstick appeared in her hand, and she made a sword flower.

Silver light flashed like mercury pouring down, and the shopkeeper and farm woman who were hiding on the side immediately covered their necks and fell, blood flowing.

"Jiang Shijie? Killed the wrong person..."

At this time, there was another Five Poultry Sect disciple who didn't understand the situation and shouted.

"Not good, my internal energy..."

"Internal energy is disappearing too fast... there is a problem!"

However, the stupid ones were only a minority, and at this time, the Five Poultry Sect disciples also found something wrong, but it was too late.

"Haha, dark green child serve!"

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

After a wave of dark green children, only two or three Five Poultry Sect disciples were left standing.

From the back kitchen, an old man and a strong man walked out, both with ferocious smiles on their faces: "Internal energy experts are amazing? Dare to come and encircle us Black Wolf Eighteen Riders, it's not like we haven't killed internal energy experts..."

"Eh? Why is there one left?"

Old Black Wolf saw Song Jingang who was still eating, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Quickly silence him, then we will destroy this group of little cubs, and leave immediately... Five Poultry Sect is powerful, can they still catch people across states?"

"Hehe... Boss is Boss, before setting off, we looted all the surrounding villages, this time we don't need to talk about long-term, the harvest is really not small."

The Third Leader laughed.

"Surrounding... villages... looted?"

Song Jingang gave a low drink, his figure swayed.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

One by one, the Black Wolf Eighteen Riders fell down without even seeing a shadow.

Even the three leaders with internal energy were the same.

"What?"

Jiang Yuer saw this scene, and finally truly knew what the weight of the number one young hero in the state was!

Even though she had practiced hard all these years and reached the Fifth Rank of martial arts—the Morning Origin Realm! It could be called the peak of the postnatal expert.

But facing such an innate expert, she would still be defeated like cutting melons and vegetables.

She was like this, not to mention these thieves.

Pop!

The old man was pinched by the neck and pressed directly against the wall: "Speak... did you rob the Eight Family Village?"

Song Jingang's voice was low.

"Hehe..."

The old man's mouth overflowed with blood, knowing that he couldn't live today: "Forget it... I have eaten what I should eat, slept what I should sleep, no loss!"

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, his neck twisted strangely, and the corpse was casually discarded to the side... ===== CHAPTER 688 =====

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

One after another, the Black Wolf Eighteen Riders fell directly without even seeing a shadow.

Even the three leaders who possessed Internal Strength were the same.

"What?"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuyan finally truly understood the weight of being the number one young hero in the province!

Even though she had practiced diligently all these years and had reached the Fifth Rank of the Martial Way—the Morning Origin Realm! She could be called a peak Postnatal expert.

But facing such a Primordial expert, she would still be defeated as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

If she was like this, there was no need to mention these bandits.

Slap!

The old man was grabbed by the throat and pressed directly against the wall: "Speak... did you raid the Eight Families Village?"

Xun Heihu's voice was low.

"Hehe..."

Blood spilled from the corner of the old man's mouth, knowing he wouldn't survive today: "Forget it... I've eaten my fill and slept my fill, I don't regret it!"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, his neck twisted in a gruesome way, and his corpse was casually discarded to the side...
