"This..." Yun Fei looked hesitant and said cautiously: "This Liu Mang is nicknamed Iron Niu and is famous for his immense strength. To be on the safe side, should we call a few more people?"
"Infinitely powerful?" Mr. Zhou sneered, "The entire Sanhe Association dare not say that among the dozens of people in Qinghe Hall, who can match my strength?"
"What's more, when two people fight, what they see is their experience, what they compare is their methods, and what they use are weapons. What's the use of just having strength?"
"Bring me my knife!"
A dark and fat man walked out of the wing at the back of the courtyard, holding a silver ring-headed knife about three feet long in both hands, and handed it to Master Zhou respectfully.
Master Zhou held the knife in one hand, held up a beautiful knife flower on the spot, and then nimbly rushed to a solid wooden stake as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Puff puff!
The sword flashed three times in an instant, and the wooden stake was cut into two pieces along the horizontal plane. The cross section was smooth and flat, and some of the onlookers cheered.
"Okay! Master Zhou is awesome!"
"Master Zhou's sharp sword has improved again. I wonder which unlucky ghost will use it next time!"
"If a new branch hall opens in the future, Mr. Zhou will definitely be the best choice to lead it!"
Everyone kept praising Master Zhou, and although it sounded exaggerated, the admiration on their faces was genuine.
The wooden stakes used for this kind of practice are made of white solid wood, which is extremely hard and difficult to be damaged by swords. It would be difficult for ordinary people to leave an obvious mark on it.
Lord Zhou can easily cut it into two pieces, which shows his great strength.
Mr. Zhou said proudly: "When I was young, I once worked as an escort with a head escort from the Yuan Escort Bureau in Inner Town, and I luckily learned a sharp knife move. Over the years, I don't know how many souls have died under my sword."
"Do you think it's enough for me alone?"
"Enough, of course it's enough! Forgive me, Mr. Zhou, I'm just a stupid little kid who talks without restraint!" Yun Fei hurriedly begged for mercy, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
…
…
The second day.
At dawn, Liu Mang got up and emptied the toilet, went to the river to fetch water, and filled up the water tank at home.
He had the ax in his arms as usual and the rice wine purchased in the winery in his hand, and went out early.
He doesn't have to work at the dock these days, so he must seize the time to practice swordsmanship in preparation for joining the Golden Tiger Gang.
After passing through the narrow country road, Liu Mang came to a remote field path. The path was quite muddy, but it was the closest to Shiqiao from here, and Liu Mang often walked this way.
However, halfway through, he couldn't help but frown.
In front of him, two men wearing black shorts and black pants were blocking the path, blocking his way.
"A person from the Sanhe Club?" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but touch his chest with his right hand. There was a hard object there, which was the ax he carried with him.
If someone from the gang came to find him, there must be something bad going on. Liu Mang was already extremely vigilant.
The two men who intercepted Liu Mang were Yunfei and Xiangzi.
Yun Fei and the others stopped four or five steps away from Liu Mang.
Yunfei raised his head slightly and said to Liu Mang: "Tieniu, I heard that you are very good at fighting. Our Qinghe Hall master is very interested in you and wants to meet you. His old man is in the hall. You can come with us."
"
Liu Mang decisively refused: "I'm sorry, I'm busy now and have no time."
Just kidding, even Mr. Guo, who was the tyrant of the dock, came to invite him over and over again before he reluctantly agreed to join the Golden Tiger Gang.
The Sanhe Club, which was much weaker than the Golden Tiger Gang, wanted to call him over with just one word, or go to the extremely dangerous entrance of the hall, where there was no door!
What's more, at this time, in such a remote place, it looks like it has malicious intentions.
"You dare to refuse our hall master?" Xiangzi, who looked to be only in his twenties, was furious.
Yun Fei's expression on the side also darkened, obviously he didn't expect Liu Mang to refuse so simply.
"I advise you to think carefully before speaking, otherwise you will regret it later!" Yun Fei warned.
Liu Mang shook his head: "I have agreed to join the Golden Tiger Gang, please come back."
Golden Tiger Gang?
Yunfei and Xiangzi looked at each other, their expressions a bit stunned.
In the entire outer city, the Golden Tiger Gang and the Flying Snake Gang are the two strongest forces, followed by the Little Knife Society, the Three Rivers Society, and the Red Clothes Society.
When Liu Mang brought up the Golden Tiger Gang, he also hoped that Sanhe would surrender. After all, he is still very weak now. If he can avoid conflict with the gang, he should try not to have any conflict.
It's a pity that Sanhe Club is obviously here for him.
I only heard an impatient scolding: "Isn't it true that I haven't joined yet if I agree to join? Just capture him, how come there is so much nonsense!"
A man with a square face, over six feet tall, suddenly appeared behind Liu Mang.
The tight black shorts outlined his strong figure. Coupled with the silver ring-headed sword in his hand and the fierce eyes, a huge pressure rushed towards his face, making Liu Mang feel nervous.
A translucent attribute bar immediately appeared in front of Liu Mang's eyes, looking at the column of Tianying Sword Technique (Getting Started 1/10) and the faintly visible number floating behind it.
Liu Mang didn't hesitate at all and just imagined that there was a force pressing the plus sign.
I saw the column of Tianying Sword Technique (Introduction 1/10), which was blurry for a moment, and then became clear again.
The realm of Sky Eagle Sword Technique suddenly became mastery, and the energy value in the last column also changed from the original 9 to 0.
Some changes also occurred in Liu Mang.
He felt a wave of heat sweep through his whole body in an instant. The muscles in his arms, legs, chest, abdomen, waist, back and other parts suddenly became stronger and more compact.
The hands, in particular, have changed the most.
He reached into his arms and took out the ax from his chest. He held the handle of the ax in his right hand, as if he had become one with the ax, feeling that no matter what action he made, he could do it with ease.
Liu Mang was determined and stared coldly at the square-faced man approaching. The man was actually only a little shorter than him. According to the calculation in his previous life, he was about 1.85 meters tall.
The square-faced man saw Liu Mang's movements and sneered: "An ax for chopping firewood?"
Liu Mang said expressionlessly: "Who are you?"
Yun Fei on the other end said in a deep voice: "This is Mr. Zhou, the flag bearer of our Sanhe Hui Qinghe Hall."
Hold the flag?
Liu Mang was even more vigilant. He was the leader of the gang, and he was very capable of fighting each one.
Master Zhou said proudly: "I heard that your nickname is Iron Niu and that you are the strongest in the eight villages in ten miles. I want to give you a try today!"
After saying that, Master Zhou thrust the ring-shou knife into the ground. He jumped over like a big eagle, and punched Liu Mang directly in the chest with his right hand!
Seeing that the other party attacked without saying a word, and his tone and actions were full of contempt, Liu Mang couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
"Want to test my strength? As you wish!"
Liu Mang's legs were rooted to the ground like old tree roots, and he simply punched back!
Whether it was the memories of his predecessor's sixteen years or what he had experienced in one year's time travel, Liu Mang had never encountered anyone with strength comparable to his own, not even close.
Even he himself doesn't know how strong his body is!
Today I will test the waters with your gang flag!
boom!
As the fists met, Master Zhou's expression suddenly changed.
Tap tap tap tap!
Under an unimaginable force, his body kept retreating and took five steps before stopping.
"Mudmad!"
Master Zhou's face turned red, and he angrily pulled out the ring-shou knife on the ground, and rushed towards Liu Mang!
