The City of Terror

However, when he thought about other skills that he needed to unlock such skills as cooking, he felt his head ache.

In short, some matters can not be done in haste. Wei Xiao Bei had also trained quite a bit in this period of time.

When he was at home, he even removed his shame and asked to assist his mother in cooking to steal her techniques. After all, no matter what was said, he did not have the time to go to some culinary school to learn, so this was the best method he had left.

However, before his attempt was realized, he had been kicked out from the kitchen by his mother.

It must be known that his mother was a steady believer of ‘a nobleman stays clear of the kitchen’ rule. She believed that if men entered the kitchen they would lose their enterprising spirit. Thus, in the years of marriage, his father had never been into the kitchen even once.

Since she was like that to her own husband, then it was even more so for her son.

No matter what was said, the cooking skill did not yet appear in Wei Xiao Bei’s status panel. This made him a bit puzzled and doubtful. Could it be that he simply had no innate talent? And, why did it still not appear?

When the man ran to his direction, Wei Xiao Bei hesitated.

If it was to steal the treasure, he did not want to play this hand.

Although he had been in the Dust World for such a long time and killed people and monsters alike, he still felt sorry deep inside when he truly encountered this kind of situation.

He had no choice in this due to his strict upbringing. Although he could be called mischievous when he was small, he had never done things that would go over the bounds of what was proper. The worst thing he had done in the past was to cook the neighbors’ goldfish and eat it and opening a small duck’s chest to try to find the hidden gold.

However, when he had matured, he had never stolen anything.

In his hesitation, the man ran over to his direction while gazing at him. The man could not help but be startled and slowed down.

However, in the next moment, the man’s eyes let out an ominous light. He pulled out the dagger and thrust it toward Wei Xiao Bei’s chest.

At the same time, Wei Xiao Bei also used [Status Appraisal] on the man.

......

Wei Xiao Bei immediately dodged the man’s attack and reactively released his [High Intimidation]!

In an instant, an invisible force spread through out the area with Wei Xiao Bei as the center.

Although the man named Zhang Xuan Shuo could be considered to be strong, terror immediately filled his eyes when the [High Intimidation] was activated, causing him to run.

Since they had already exchanged moves, Wei Xiao Bei would not let the man go and give himself a hidden danger. The previous guilt from the thought of stealing the opponent’s treasure had disappeared when his opponent attacked.

Wei Xiao Bei patted his waist, and the great spear shot out like lightning. Then he leapt up and chased after Zhang Xuan Shuo.

When the spear head appeared to have almost pierced the other side, who knew that Zhang Xuan Shuo did not even need to look. He turned around and slashed at it, diverting the trajectory of the spear with the Dang Kang’s Tusk.

“Good!”

In truth, other than his master and apprentice brothers, this was the first time he encountered a strong opponent like this.

This did not mean that the opponent had high attributes, but rather the opponent had strong blade skills.

Wei Xiao Bei knew what the so-called Battojutsu was.

The origin of this technique was from the Tang Dynasty’s two-handed sword techniques.

Afterwards, it was transmitted to Japan, becoming known as Battojutsu.

The main part of this technique was to unleash an attack by pulling the blade from the sheath.

This blade pull was extremely concealed and suited for sneak attacks. The move was very fierce. It focused on hitting with one strike. Missing would mean losing the initiative, so it was not easy to use.

No matter what was said, Zhang Xuan Shuo’s counterattack had hit the spear head and diverted it. This level of technique was rarely seen.

Facing this kind of strong opponent, Wei Xiao Bei was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he became excited.

When Zhang Xuan Shuo diverted the great spear, he turned around and jumped at Wei Xiao Bei. He placed the tusk on his waist again and entered a knife wielding stance to slightly threaten Wei Xiao Bei.

Chop!

Wei Xiao Bei tightened his grip on the great spear and immediately chopped toward the incoming Zhang Xuan Shuo.

Zhang Xuan Shuo became serious at Wei Xiao Bei’s attack.

Previously, Wei Xiao Bei’s [High Intimidation] had shaken him. If he did not have his special skill to reduce the effects of [High Intimidation], he would have already died.

Compared to the excitement he brought Wei Xiao Bei, what Wei Xiao Bei gave him was a heavy pressure!

Ever since he entered the Dust World, he relied on his head, hard work, and the heavenly opportunity to become strong. He believed that he was strong. Just his medical skills alone allowed him to open his own private hospital in the real world and earn a lot of money.

In other words, Zhang Xuan Shuo could be considered to be very successful in the real world and in the Dust World.

However, he had been marked by someone today after he stole the Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass.

Perhaps he might have been marked even before that.

Unfortunately, he had just found the Dang Kang’s Tusk and had not yet processed it into a weapon. If he had, his fighting strength would be several times greater.

No matter what!

I must kill this boy!

Draw!

Facing Wei Xiao Bei’s directly attacking great spear, Zhang Xuan Shuo did not retreat. On the contrary, he faced the great spear head on.

The Dang Kang’s Tusk was suddenly pulled out and thrusted. It was like the hero Xing Tian who fought against the Celestial Emperor.

Even Wei Xiao Bei could not help but praise him in his heart.

Battojutsu could be described as dangerous and fierce. However, in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hands, it gave off a different style.

Heroic!

Wei Xiao Bei admits that his Bajiaquan could not reach this level even though they were on the same rank of perfection.

Naturally, this was pardonable. The amount of effort that Zhang Xuan Shuo placed on his Battojutsu should be more than 10 times the amount of effort Wei Xiao Bei placed on Bajiquan.

It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei had at most only been in the Dust World for half a year.

Bang!

When the Dang Kang’s Tusk struck against the spear, the spear was once again diverted. Afterwards, Zhang Xuan Shuo strode forward like a running bull. He instantly appeared in front of Wei Xiao Bei and thrust his Dang Kang’s Tusk.

He truly is an expert!

Wei Xiao Bei once again praised him in his heart. However, his face did not change at all. He did not even discard his great spear at his opponent’s approach.

For Wei Xiao Bei, letting go of the great spear was a joke.

“Ha!”

Wei Xiao Bei shouted. His overpowering voice flooded toward Zhang Xuan Shuo, making his ears numb and his eyes expand, as if he had blanked out.

Wei Xiao Bei had now started to tread on the path of cultivation, so he was not a beginner anymore.

Wei Xiao Bei was not a negative jing expert only in name but also in reality.

As he had already opened his meridians and blood channels and circulated Qi all over his body, he could already be considered at a high level of negative jing.

In truth, within the Guo Shu experts, most of them had reached this level and even approached the next level of jing, neutral jing.

As long as they successfully opened their meridians and blood channels then circulated Qi all over their bodies, they could reach approach the level of neutral jing, the level of having your entire body as the weapon and allow their bodies to gain a level of protection.

It was said that higher levels of neutral jing would allow a martial artists to even shoot out their Qi like an arrow or even spit it out from their mouths as an attack.

Although Wei Xiao Bei had not reached this level, his voice was enough to make Zhang Xuan Shuo suffer.

Bang!

Wei Xiao Bei kicked Zhang Xuan Shuo away.

Not anticipating victory but anticipating defeat!

This was the martial artist’s motto. No martial artist would dare claim that they were the strongest under heaven.

There were numerous experts around the world. Wei Xiao Bei would also not dare say that he had completely seen through Zhang Xuan Shuo’s status.

It must be known that there were hidden things in his status panel.

Thus, Wei Xiao Bei kicked him away to ensure that he would not receive the threat from close by.

It must be known that a high level of Battojutsu like Zhang Xuan Shuo’s would have a faster blade the closer they were.

In truth, if the tusk in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hands was more knife shaped, then the previous thrust might have hit Wei Xiao Bei.

After being kicked, Zhang Xuan Shuo was sent flying. Before he even landed, a spray of blood came out from his mouth. Moreover, he felt numbness spread from the place he was kicked at.

Wei Xiao Bei’s kick was not a simple kick. It also had the power of electricity within it and came out from the hole underneath his shoes.

By contrast, when Wei Xiao Bei kicked and pulled back his leg, he frowned as he felt a piercing cold on the soles of his foot. He examined it and saw that a layer of ice had appeared under his shoes.

What a strong ability!

In truth, if Wei Xiao Bei had not felt the danger and quickly pulled back his leg, his soles would have probably been turned to ice.

With a fierce stomp, the ice had turned into fragments, and then he thrusted his weapon countless times at Zhang Xuan Shuo who had jumped up from the ground.

At this time, Zhang Xuan Shuo’s strength had already gained Wei Xiao Bei’s acknowledgement. So Wei Xiao Bei now gave it his all.
