Volume 1 Dragon Gate Inn Chapter 7 Good News and Bad News

  The bad Daoist seemed to have never understood what was going on from start to finish. It wasn't until he saw Chou Tianbiao and the others fall to the ground that he turned around, and when he saw me glaring at him, he first looked startled, then burst out laughing and said: "You think you can be an enemy of mine with your three-legged cat kung fu?"

  I smiled and said, "Give it a try!"

  The evil Taoist ignored me, muttering to himself. His six long swords, which had been dispersed by the sword energy of Su Jing and I, were slowly reassembling, their tips pointing at us in unison. Su Jing stood still, concentrating her spirit. I didn't care about anything and slapped him with a loud "Smack your dog's day!" This move was something I learned from Liu Lao Liu. The evil Taoist seemed to need a short ritual before gathering his sword energy for each attack. As a high-ranking master, I should have waited for him to finish before engaging in a fair duel, but as a half-baked master who had only been practicing for a few minutes, I didn't have the awareness or the patience. Besides, I think awareness is something you're born with - you can't expect someone like me, a Taoist's son, to be aware of such things when fighting others; if you do, no one will sympathize with you even if you get beaten up.

  The bad guy's body flashed in mid-air, apparently my sword energy still shook him. Although I also knew that the previous hit was off-target, but the force must not be light. This is like a stinky target shooting an AK47, although the accuracy is slightly off, but the hardware facilities are there, and the enemy will never dare to underestimate it.

  It's comforting that although this didn't hit the bad guys, it did bring down the recreational room in front of us, which saved me a lot of trouble.

  Six evil swordsmen converged, attacking from six directions. With Su Jing by my side to protect me, I had no worries about being caught off guard and recklessly counterattacked. The leisure room was instantly filled with countless palm-shaped holes. Although the sword energy was not entirely useless, two long swords were actually knocked back by my wild slaps. Su Jing carefully deflected the other flying swords, laughing and scolding me: "Don't be reckless!"

  The evil Taoist's face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Dragon Sword, merge!" The six swords suddenly merged into one, the evil Taoist's expression was solemn, and his two hands kept pouring air onto the hilt. Su Jing whispered: "Little Dragon be careful, victory or defeat depends on this move!"

  The dragon sword, under the constant urging of the evil Daoist, gradually became brighter and larger than usual, with a faint glow. Su Jing placed two fingers on his chest, his eyes fixed intently on the sword tip, as the sword energy churned ceaselessly within him. The entire sky suddenly lost its color, even the clouds above our heads seemed to be driven away by something!

  "Attack!" With a loud shout from the evil Taoist, the dragon sword darted towards us like a swimming dragon. Su Jing's eyes flashed with light, and he quickly pointed out two fingers, shooting out a grayish-white tangible sword energy that struck the dragon sword. The dragon sword paused in mid-air for a moment before attacking again. Su Jing shouted loudly: "Little Dragon, it's your turn!"

  I didn't have Su Jing's skill to release my sword energy with a flick of my finger, nor did I know how to control it. All I could do was wave my hand like swatting at flies and send out a palm-sized burst of energy. Luckily, the distance was short, so I could roughly feel that most of my sword energy hit the dragon sword. The evil Taoist took this blow and retreated half a step in mid-air, his dragon sword spinning back to him. He lowered his head, letting it return to its scabbard on its own, narrowed his eyes at me, and sneered: "Such pure sword energy is wasted on you! This time, consider yourselves lucky. I'll be back!" With that, he stepped onto the flying sword and turned to leave.

  "Go back to your mother's feet, do you think you're a great wolf?" I followed his back and gave another burst of wild slaps. Su Jing pressed down on my shoulder and said: "It's no use, don't waste your energy."

  As soon as she finished saying this sentence, I felt the power in my body suddenly drained, my legs softened, and I almost fell down. Su Jing hurriedly supported me: "What's wrong with you?"

  I knelt on one knee, only to feel a void in my dantian, and my body felt like noodles that wouldn't listen to commands. The pleasure chamber that had been ravaged countless times was now riddled with holes and couldn't bear the weight anymore. With a creaking sound, it tilted halfway into the air. Su Jing inserted one hand under my ribs and said, "Let's go down first." She pulled me along as we jumped down, slowly descending like an elevator, our feet just touching

  She just heard a loud rumble behind her, and that amusement cabin finally fell down.

  The Ferris wheel was already crowded with people, I looked up at the sky and saw that it was covered by a layer of dark smoke. From here, all we could see was a chaotic mess. Su Jing whispered: "It should be the evil Taoist who has cast an eye-blocking spell." Apparently, the evil Taoist didn't want to reveal his identity in public either, so our battle in the sky was invisible to the people below.

  But even so, within the short span of 5 minutes, three amusement cabins fell down, and the onlookers were not few in number, all discussing and guessing what had just happened above.

  The Ferris wheel boss almost cried, seeing us fall from above, a few swift steps rushed over to hold my hand and shook it constantly: "Brother, what happened on top?"

  "Can't you see? It's fogging up."

  The boss stamped his foot and said: "What's this nonsense? The fog is rising, but it won't fall from the sky!"

  "It's still thundering."

  The boss was first startled and then bewildered: "How come I didn't hear a sound?"

  I said: "Ask Lei."

  The boss was rubbing his hands and stomping his feet: "Why am I so unlucky? Taiwan bought a few ships and encountered typhoons, Sichuan built several buildings and encountered earthquakes, now renting a Ferris wheel is also struck by lightning!"

  "I was puzzled and asked: 'You can afford to buy a boat and build real estate, how did you end up selling tickets here?'"

  The boss almost cried: "Didn't we already lose money due to typhoons and earthquakes?"

  I'm speechless... I have no sympathy for him, it's a pity that someone who could have become a master like Bao Yugang and Pan Yuli is now reduced to being a ticket scalper. Bailey's crow mouth is deceiving others, but this guy is even better, deceiving himself is simply an action giant.

  I pulled his hand and said: "Don't be sad, I promise that such a thing will not happen again in the future. Your Ferris wheel is not just three cabins, others are making money as usual."

  The boss said with a bitter face: "Forget it, I can see that if I continue to do this, something will go wrong sooner or later. Fortunately, no one was killed today, otherwise I would have to pay with my life."

  "So does that mean those three kids didn't die?"

  The boss said, "No talent, but one face has a hole in it, and the other foot has an eye on it. Several of them are thick-skinned people, and they didn't ask me for compensation..." As he spoke, he looked at me with deep meaning.

  I smiled and said: Don't worry, I won't ask you for compensation either.

  The boss smiled and said: "Today I finally met a noble person."

  I was speechless. As I was about to leave, I solemnly advised him: "Be cautious with investments from now on."

  The boss nodded thoughtfully and said, "From now on, I will never put all my eggs in one basket. I've got it figured out - after converting all the cash in my hands to physical currency, I'll buy two stocks domestically. They say 'clothing, food, shelter, and transportation', right? I'll buy Double Hui for clothing and Mengniu for food, then go to Japan to sell fish. I bet no one can survive without eating!"

  "Uh... I wish you success..."

  On the way out of the playground, I still need Su Jing to support me. Now, from my shoulders to the base of my thighs, and specifically to each finger joint,

  They are all soft like shoelaces, but that's secondary. The main thing is that the five internal organs are churning over, and from head to toe, there isn't a single place that doesn't hurt.

  It doesn't hurt, and this kind of pain isn't the muscle or bone kind, it's that indescribable, inexplicable kind of pain, like it's on the surface but also seems to be inside.

  With every breath, it's like being pricked by thousands of fine needles. This is what they mean by "being pierced to the heart"!

  It was just a short distance to the parking place, but I was already in so much pain that my forehead was covered with sweat. By the time I sat down in the car, I couldn't even speak.

  Su Jing grabbed my wrist and felt it for a while, her face worried, saying: "How are you?"

  It took me half a day to barely say: "I'm in so much pain I could die!"

  Su Jingdao said: "Your sword energy is now surging inside your body, the eight extraordinary meridians are all open, it's strange if you don't feel any pain."

  I trembled as I took out the cigarette case, but my hand was shaking so much that I couldn't get a single cigarette out. Su Jing simply took one out and put it to my lips.

  Help me light a fire, and I trembled with my lips and spat out a wisp of smoke: "What do you mean by those strange meridians?"

  Su Jing gazed out of the window, lost in thought for a moment, and said softly: "Through the ambush by the bandits this time on us, I have two pieces of news to tell you, one good and one bad."

  "I said: 'Let's hear the bad news first.'"

  Su Jingdao said: "The bad news is that the evil Daoist has indeed found a part of the sword energy on you, and now even I am not his match."

  "How many exactly can't be seen?"

  Su Jingdao said: "It doesn't seem like it, I think there won't be too many, but also absolutely won't be too few."

  I sighed: "Which is to say nothing, what's the good news?"

  "Good news is: through this ambush, a conclusion can be drawn - with your current body, you are completely unable to control these..."

  "Jian Qi, our plan to return to Women's Country is likely to be postponed."

  "What kind of good news is this?"

  Su Jing couldn't help but say with a hint of disappointment: "Although you have acquired three-tenths of the sword energy, your meridians and body are not sufficient to withstand it."

  Luckily today was also a bad Taoist who didn't master the sword energy. If it were another expert, you might have been able to hold on for a while longer and things might have turned out differently.

  The meridian collapsed and died, which was an unexpected mistake I had never thought of before. I said it was good news because we were lucky to discover it early and could still make up for it."

  "How can I make up for it?"

  "Go find Liu Rili and get back your body modification attributes."

  Thinking of Xia Qian's first experiment failure, I bitterly smiled and said: "Actually, there are two pieces of bad news."

  Su Jingdao said: "Some rescue is better than no rescue, my sword energy is gradually practiced, but I neglected the physical body itself"

  "It's crucial; if we were to return to the country of women like this, the consequences would be unthinkable. To put it bluntly, I almost got you killed, and I must offer you a sincere apology."

  I laughed and said, "How did you learn to be so polite?" As I said this, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and say with a flourish, "Wasn't my dog cool just now?"

  Su Jing also smiled and said: "You were indeed very brave just now. If you hadn't made a timely move, I'm afraid I would have..."

  I curled my lip and said, "Speaking of you, you're really nothing special. Did you feel a bit desperate at the time?"

  Su Jing's face turned slightly red as she said: "At that time I was indeed a bit stunned, to be honest, this is the first time I thought of death."

  I exclaimed in surprise: "You're supposed to be quite experienced in dealing with people, aren't you?"

  Su Jingdao said, "I've reflected on it, I haven't had many interactions with people, but in the mainland, there's only one Sword God, and most of the time, I have an absolute advantage. In the end, my journey has been too smooth."

  "It's like those top students who always come in first, and when they occasionally come in second, it's a matter of life and death. For people like us who are just average, we wouldn't even dare to think about coming in second, let alone getting into the top ten would make us ecstatic."

  Su Jingdao: "How many names can you usually take?"

  I said: "At first our class had more than 50 people, I was probably around 40th place."

  "You're not very good at it either."

  "...I pretended to flick ash to avoid the topic, but finally couldn't help saying: 'Anyway, people like you who even eat shit and want to eat the tip of it are all mentally fragile.'"

  Su Jing gave me a glance and said: "So from now on I will strengthen this aspect of my training, find a few more masters to practice with."

  I said: "Your words are illogical again, if someone can accompany you, you should have practiced early on. It's not like no one could afford to lose to you all along, and now a formidable opponent suddenly appears, it's no wonder you're flustered."

  "This is a problem."

  I smiled and said: "It seems that your hope is still pinned on me, I think under the vast sky, there's no collective that can deal with you except for me."

  Su Jing's smile: "You're really shameless, the bad Taoist was right about one thing, you're at most a three-legged cat with two tricks."

  "Three-legged cat still beats a stray dog, if you didn't have me this three-legged cat, someone would be making fun of you."

  Su Jingzheng said, "To be honest, just now it was your powerful sword aura that confused our senses. As for your two moves, Duan Tianya could have been your master for five years."

  "What can we do?"

  "So I've already decided to start teaching you martial arts."

  I looked at her sideways and said, "Whose kung fu is more powerful, yours or that of the evil Taoist?"

  Su Jingdao said, "If we were fighting on flat ground, I wouldn't lose to him. However, the terrain was special just now, and in your cramped space, there's only a clash of sword energy, not even a bit of cleverness can be used. So when his sword energy became stronger than mine, I had no choice but to give up. As soon as you made a move, he could only flee in disarray."

  I suddenly thought of a question: "In that situation just now, although you weren't his opponent, but should you still...

  "It shouldn't be hard to escape, right?"

  Su Jing didn't answer directly: "If I jump down with you, we won't have an advantage in mid-air,

  "It's better to retreat whole than to advance and be defeated."

  "I'm talking about you running alone."

  Su Jing still didn't respond, but instead said matter-of-factly: "If you're dead, what's the point of me being alive?"

  "Come on, we've already reached this point?"

  Su Jing smiled and said: "You understand what I mean. If you die, I will have no way to explain it to the people of the Federal Continent."

  Although I really understood what she meant, I still felt a sudden surge of emotion in my heart for no reason.

  Division

  Some readers said that this chapter and the previous one have repeated content, I came to take a look and it's true. However, after modification, new content has not been displayed for a long time, even the PS content was written twice. This is the third time, okay, the main point of the previous two PS was that Xiaohua will get full attendance this month, monthly ticket award. On the occasion of the third update, Xiaohua sincerely thanks readers for their support. The content of this chapter is actually 4K, I don't know if it will still be charged at 3K after updating, if so, that would be great. I thought to myself, Zhang Xiaohua has never had five updates in her life, could today be fate?
