Chapter 3: The Fierce Wind and the Swift Sword

  Li Yunfei rushed back to his hiding place and saw that the dozen or so mountain bandits were still there. It seemed they were waiting for their leader. When they saw him come out, the group of mountain bandits was somewhat surprised! Probably didn't think Li Yunfei could kill their own leader, so Li Yunfei drew his treasured sword, and before they could react, he killed them all, leaving only one person left.

  "Spare my life! Don't kill me..." The remaining mountain bandit was so frightened that he knelt down to beg for mercy.

  "Answer my question, and if I'm satisfied, I won't kill you."

  "Great hero, please speak, I will definitely tell everything."

  "What kind of people are in your mountain stronghold now."

  "Our mountain stronghold originally had forty or fifty brothers, but in the past two days, you've killed dozens of them. Now there's only the Big Chief, Second Chief and a dozen or so brothers left!"

  "What martial arts skills do your Big Master and Second Master have?"

  "Our First Chief's swordsmanship is as fast as lightning, and Second Chief's defensive martial art is extremely formidable."

  "Everyone who practices the art of body protection has a weakness. Where is your weakness, Second Master?"

  "Great hero, the small person really doesn't know, but usually our leader seems to have mentioned it before, it's on his chest. But he has a protective mirror on his chest. It is made of fine iron and is very hard, the small person has said all he knows. Great hero, spare my life!"

  "Alright! You can go, but never be a mountain bandit again!" Li Yunfei said.

  "Yes, yes, yes! I won't be a mountain bandit anymore. I definitely won't be a mountain bandit!" After saying that, the mountain bandit ran away in a flash.

  Li Yunfei walked step by step along the mountain path to the stronghold, watching the two bandits guarding the gate run towards the main hall. He didn't chase after them, but instead wanted to put psychological pressure on the leader and second-in-command of the stronghold. He wanted to make them lose their footing and create an opportunity to strike and kill them.

  Step by step he walked towards the hall, quietly adjusting his state, he wanted to defeat them in the best condition.

  Looking at the mountain bandits who were holding knives and chopping towards him, he stabbed them in the throat one by one. In an instant, he killed three mountain bandits, scaring the other bandits to constantly retreat. Not a single person dared to come forward. With one sword, more than ten people did not dare to come forward, indeed powerful, indeed overbearing.

  "Come on, don't let these little ones take action, it's a waste of death for me, and I won't even spend any energy killing them."

  "Indeed impressive martial arts skills! You and our village don't have any grudges, do you? Why must you make things difficult for us?"

  "You rob and kill people, but those who are robbed and killed by you also have no grudges against you."

  "Alright, let's fight then! I just want to ask you one thing, how is our third brother?"

  "You're dead!"

  "What?! I'll kill you to avenge my third brother!" The big boss and the second boss rushed towards Li Yunfei like madmen, one with a sword and the other with a knife, joining forces to attack Li Yunfei. Li Yunfei felt a bit sentimental! In his past life, he had spent several years practicing martial arts before achieving success. Who would have thought that in this life, he would become a low-ranking martial artist in just three days?

  He drew his treasured sword and began to fight with the two bandits' leaders.

  These two people are indeed very formidable, one with swift swordsmanship and exceptional lightness skills, the other with boundless strength and powerful defensive techniques, impervious to swords and guns! Li Yunfei's sword slash on his body only left a white mark. With Li Yunfei's current abilities, even slashing at iron or stone wouldn't leave just a mark. It seems that these two people have very refined skills.

  The three of them exchanged over a hundred moves, but none of them were injured. Li Yunfei's kung fu should be higher than the other two. However, every time his sword was about to hurt the Big Chief, the Second Chief would help him block it. This made things difficult for Li Yunfei.

  "It seems that we have to kill the second fort master first, otherwise we will definitely die here today." Li Yunfei thought for a moment and decided to kill the second fort master first. He remembered that the mountain bandit he let go said that the second fort master's weak point was on his chest.

  As expected, he found a protective mirror on Erzhai's chest. So he launched an attack towards Erzhai's chest, wanting to shatter the protective mirror. But Erzhai only attacked and didn't defend himself, seemingly not afraid at all.

  Li Yunfei had some doubts in his heart, wouldn't the second village master be afraid that he would break through the protective mirror and destroy his mask? He looked at the second village master's behavior again and found that he seemed to be hiding some secret. After careful consideration, when they first fought, the second village master seemed to be protecting his throat slightly. Could it be that his throat was his mask, then why did he wear a protective mirror on his chest? Was he intentionally letting others think that his chest was his mask? Looking at his rough appearance, he didn't expect him to be so clever. Indeed, people can't be judged by their appearance.

  Li Yunfei pretended not to know that his sword was heading for the throat, and instead attacked the second fort master's chest. The second fort master naturally didn't care, seemingly very confident in his protective mirror. Li Yunfei continued to stab at the second fort master's chest with one sword after another, dodging both of their attacks. Suddenly, the sword that was stabbing towards the chest changed direction, and with a lift of the sword body, it stabbed into the second fort master's throat. This time there were no obstacles, and the sword body went straight into the depths of the second fort master's throat. When it was pulled out, a stream of fresh blood shot out.

  The second village master covered his neck and pointed at Li Yunfei, unable to speak. The big village master saw that another of his brothers had died at the hands of Li Yunfei, and he seemed to have gone mad as he attacked Li Yunfei. One sword was faster than the other, and the speed of this sword was even faster than all the previous ones. It seems that the big village master is going all out.

  Li Yunfei had no choice but to fight back, and the two exchanged blows, each targeting the other's vital spots. After just over a dozen moves, both of them were covered in wounds. In the end, the bandit chief's sword landed on Li Yunfei's shoulder, while Li Yunfei's sword chopped off the bandit chief's head.

  Li Yunfei killed the leader of Dazhai at the cost of being seriously injured. The remaining mountain bandits saw that their three leaders, whom they revered as gods, were all dead and scattered in a hurry. Li Yunfei picked up the two blue packages that had burst out and walked into the hall, took out medicine and sat on the ground to treat his wounds.

  After treating the external injuries with medicine, he sat down on the spot to cultivate his internal skills. He sat like this for a day and a night. It wasn't until the next morning that the wounds on his body were completely healed. This was still due to his gamer's physique; otherwise, who knows how much longer it would have taken? He felt that his internal energy was circulating much faster, and there was a lot more inner air in his dantian.

  Then open your own attribute bar:

  Number 2112:

  Neigong: Intermediate Neigong 5th level.

  Lightness Skill: Basic Lightness 8th Level.

  Swordsmanship: Basic Swordsmanship Level 8.

  Headwear: Jade Hairpin.

  Kutsu: Kyushu-ri.

  Physical condition: Healthy.

  Inner strength rose 2 levels, agility rose 3 levels, swordsmanship rose 3 levels. It seems that yesterday's battle with the two leaders made Li Yunfei much stronger. It seems that the best way to get stronger is through combat.

  Li Yunfei moved his body, looked at his wound, and found that his clothes were clean and new. He knew it was the system's doing again, just like in his previous life when he wore those clothes for over a decade and they still looked brand new. After thinking about it for a moment, he stopped worrying about it.

  Take out the two packages that burst yesterday and open them. Three items were taken out of the two packages. It seems that his luck is very bad, he took out three things when he opened the blue package for the first time, but now only three items came out of the two packages.

  First: Cold Cloud Sword, forged from refined gold. The sword weighs seven catties and six taels. It can cut hair with a mere blow. Its sharpness is extraordinary.

  Second item: White Feather Shirt, made from white feather silkworm silk. Durable and sturdy. Can block a small portion of internal energy attacks.

  Third item: One copy of the manual "Jin Zhong Zhao".

  Returned the trash sword given by the system. Took up the Cold Cloud Sword and wore the White Feather Shirt. Felt that I was a bit stronger than before. Successfully practiced the Golden Bell Shield.

  Open system prompt, see own system task 3: Kill 3 mountain bandit leaders already completed. Receive task reward: "Furious Wind Quick Sword" one book, task points 5000.

  He took out "Furious Wind, Fast Sword", and on this book there was actually an introduction: Created by Furious Wind Swordsman! When practiced to the extreme, one sword can create 28 sword shadows. Making it impossible for people to distinguish reality from illusion.

  This was the first time Li Yunfeng had seen a skill book with an introduction. None of his other skill books had one. It seemed that this was indeed a good thing.

  He opened "The Wind and the Sword", the book turned into a white light that entered Li Yunfei's body. A picture of a sword appeared in his mind, with waves of sword shadows. He closed his eyes to comprehend the meaning of the sword. Holding the sword, he learned from the sword moves in his mind. One sword move after another.

  Suddenly a voice echoed in his mind: Congratulations, No. 2112 has successfully cultivated "Furious Wind Quick Sword". Current level is 1.

  Li Yunfei slowly opened his eyes. Excitedly recalling the moves of "Furious Wind, Quick Sword", it was indeed much stronger than basic swordsmanship. He had thought he was very strong already, but he still fell far short. This was just "Furious Wind, Quick Sword", if it were Ximen Chuiyun's "Cold Plum Sword" or Ye Guicheng's "Heavenly Flying Immortal" that would be even more powerful.

  Actually, in Li Yunfei's heart, the strongest swordsmanship in the Lu Xiaofeng legend should be Ye Gucheng's "Tian Wai Fei Xian". Although Xi Men Chui Xue won against Ye Gucheng at the top of the Forbidden City. However, his conversation with Ku Zhutong at the Silver Hook Casino can reveal who has higher swordsmanship.

  "We've long wanted to see Ximen ChuiXue's 'Moonlit Night, Purple Forbidden Peak, One Sword Shatters the Flying Immortal'."

  "Ximen said coldly: 'You're wrong.'"

  "What's wrong?"

  Ximen Blowsnow said: "The swordsmanship of the Lord of White Cloud City is already as flawless and spotless as a clear blue sky, no one can break his move 'Flying Fairy Outside Heaven'."

  Ku Zhú said: "Can't you either?"

  "Can't."

  "But you broke it."

  Ximen said: "The one who broke through the Heavenly Flying Immortal's move wasn't me."

  "Who else if not you?"

  "It was he himself."

  Withered bamboo doesn't understand, solitary pine also doesn't understand, Ximen's words of blowing snow, there are only a few people in the world who can understand.

  "His swordsmanship may be flawless, but his heart is not."

  His eyes shone brightly as he continued slowly: "The essence of the sword lies in 'sincerity and righteousness', if a person's heart is impure, how can they not be defeated?"

  It can be seen that it is because Ye Gu Cheng has a guilty conscience and plotting rebellion is a capital offense. He will definitely die, and if he dies at someone else's hands, it would be better to die at the hands of Ximen Chui Xue. Isn't it a glorious death for a swordsman to die at the hands of a master swordsman? It's really good that he can die at the hands of Ximen Chui Xue!

  Back to normal, Li Yunfei cultivated the "Crazy Wind Fast Sword" technique. He had originally planned to go to Zhu Ting's town immediately and wait for Lu Xiaofeng's arrival. But after some thought, he decided to first cultivate the "Crazy Wind Fast Sword" to level 7 or higher in this mountain stronghold before leaving, which would be safer. Otherwise, let alone Lu Xiaofeng and other main characters, even those third-rate supporting characters wouldn't be easy for him to defeat. In this life, he wanted to complete as many system tasks as possible.

  Li Yunfei hid in this secret mountain stronghold to diligently cultivate his internal strength, lightness technique and swordsmanship. Especially that "Crazy Wind Fast Sword", he had to master the skills before he could befriend Lu Xiaofeng. If he didn't even know martial arts, Lu Xiaofeng wouldn't associate with him either.

  In his past life, Lu Xiao Feng didn't care about him at all. He spent a lot of time and effort but still failed.

  However, it is said that the second time someone enters the world of Lu Xiaofeng, when their martial arts skills reach a certain level, Lu Xiaofeng will take the initiative to interact with the player and ask for their help. So Li Yunfei wants to practice his swordsmanship first.
