As Shen Lang rushed to the county town with Xiao Zhao, he checked his attribute panel and found that the "Skills" column and the description of "Ten steps and one kill" had changed from "Ninth level entry" to ninth level.
Yes, now he is able to gather all his strength in his killing moves, has passed the entry stage of a ninth-grade warrior, and has truly entered the palace.
However, the only killer move he has mastered now is the white rainbow piercing the sun.
This move leaves no room, no way of retreat, and moves forward without hesitation. There is only one blow, only one stab. Except for the point directly in front of the sword, there are flaws all over the body.
Basically it can only be used to challenge enemies from the front, and is unable to deal with enemies on the flanks and rear.
Even when there are two enemies in front of you, you can only choose one to kill.
The other one is helpless and may even be killed——
Killing with ten steps is too fierce. When making the move, you must concentrate all your energy and energy. Not only will you have no time to pay attention to it, but you will even be temporarily absent-minded after the kill is successful because the murderous aura in your heart is released with the force of the sword.
And in a duel between masters, even a moment's loss of concentration is enough to determine success or failure.
But Shen Lang didn't care.
Being able to master a killing move that can threaten senior low-level warriors in just three or four days of martial arts practice is already very good, how can you ask for more?
To be honest, if Shen Lang hadn't practiced the "Demon Taming Art" and had "spiritual seeds" that could trigger emotions on his own, and his control over himself due to his enhanced agility was far beyond ordinary people, even if he witnessed such a tragic event tonight, he might not have
Can you master this sword?
Although the "Sword of Killing Intent" of "ten steps and one kill" is a quick method, no matter how quick it is, you must at least have some foundation in swordsmanship.
As for Shen Lang, a pure amateur with no foundation in swordsmanship, he was able to master one killing move after practicing thirteen strength-building punches, which can be said to be astonishing.
In addition to the updated skill description, Shen Lang's training progress of the Demon Taming Technique has also become "31/100".
This is of course because he practices the "Monster Taming Technique" every day, which means clicking on the small silver moon a few times a day.
Now he can only click on the small moon at most three times a day. Every time he clicks on it, his mental power will be strengthened a little, and his cultivation progress will be +1.
Of course, it had only been a few days since he got the pen. If he just clicked three times a day, he wouldn't have jumped to 31 points in just a few days.
Among them, there are 20 points of cultivation progress, which are obtained by enlightening Xiaoyu and Xiaozhao.
Each time a little demon is enlightened, it can increase its "Monster Taming Technique" skill proficiency by 10 points.
However, his skill proficiency has increased, and the "spiritual seeds" between his eyebrows have also condensed a lot, but Shen Lang doesn't seem to feel many substantial changes.
It can still only be used to communicate with the spirit of the little demon. In addition, it can assist in "agility enhancement" and slightly strengthen the five senses and control of oneself.
Oh, it can also trigger emotions on its own, making anger stronger and murderous intent stronger.
…
Climb the city wall back to the county town, and use the cat's stealth all the way to avoid the night watchman, and arrive outside the barracks in the west of the city.
"Xiao Zhao, when you were in Wangjiazhuang, did you smell the smell of gunpowder?"
[Hmm, there were so many soldiers with muskets at that time, and I smelled a lot of gunpowder.]
"I'll give you the ink pen later. Follow the smell of gunpowder, sneak into the gunpowder magazine in the barracks, and use the ink pen to get two barrels of gunpowder out."
Although he has mastered a killer move, as a person on earth in the 21st century, Shen Lang obviously trusts firearms more and has no doubts about Zhu Hu's statement that "the times have changed."
At least, when the level of martial arts is still very low, firearms are indeed very powerful.
[Can I also use some essence pen? Then if someone enlightens a dog, can it be my dog’s legs? 】
"You can't use the demon magic technique, you can only use the magic pen space to decorate things."
[What a pity. But Shen Lang, if we sneak into the barracks and steal gunpowder, does that count as a bad thing?]
"……Calculate."
[Aren’t you going to be a hero? How can a hero do bad things? 】
"Being a hero means offending countless people, and being killed by countless people. If you didn't know how to adapt, you would have died long ago. Besides, we are here to uphold justice... Never mind, at worst I call myself Zhengyi.
Evil robber."
【Hey, can it still be like this?】
"Of course. This is human wisdom."
[But Liu Bei said: Don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small...]
"You are a killer cat and you are scolding me... Stop talking nonsense and help me get gunpowder!"
[Okay then. How about not doing anything else and just grabbing a few muskets? 】
"Why don't you just say that you should just bring out some small guns?"
【Good idea, meow!】
"Meow, you are so big, be obedient and take only gunpowder, no muskets or cannons."
【Okay meow~】
So the cat held some fine pen in its mouth, silently jumped over the wall, sneaked into the barracks, smelled the smell, and went to find the gunpowder magazine.
Speaking of which, Xiao Zhao's snow-white fur is quite conspicuous on a bright moonlit night.
However, it is small in size, fast and agile, and is a natural sneaker. In addition, the military discipline in this barracks is only that good. Sneaking all the way in, you only need to slightly avoid one or two absent-minded sentries.
Soon, it successfully found the gunpowder magazine.
The door to the warehouse is tightly closed, with no gaps. Even the windows are equipped with iron bars as thick as a child's arm. The gap is so narrow that even a man of half an age can't even put his arm in.
But cats are originally made of water, and Xiao Zhao is a little milk cat that only eats meat but does not grow taller. His hands are only a little bigger, so the iron bars of the window cannot stop him, so he can easily get in.
.
[There are so many guns~ There really are small cannons. There is a rumor in the world that a gun is fast at a distance of seven steps; a gun is accurate and fast within seven steps. We are all here, it would be a pity not to have a gun~!]
Cats have an unruly nature and love freedom. It is really difficult to make a cat obedient.
So when Xiao Zhao came back triumphantly and returned the pen to Shen Lang like a treasure, Shen Lang was dumbfounded when he saw what was in the space.
In the space, there were not only ten large barrels of gunpowder, but also a small cannon, ten flintlock rifles, as well as matching cannonballs, bullets, etc.
The two barrels of gunpowder that were promised turned into ten barrels, not to mention it. The key is how to bring out the muskets and artillery?
If such a big thing happens, the Changsheng County Government will not be able to deal with it at all. It will definitely report it to the higher authorities, otherwise it will attract some dangerous detective.
Although it is almost impossible to find a portable space, and it is Shen Lang who sent the cat to steal, but the size is still a problem, isn't it?
Seeing Xiao Zhao cocking his tail proudly, flashing his big watery eyes, looking at himself expectantly, waiting for him to praise his cute appearance, Shen Lang really couldn't praise him, nor scold him.
Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Lang picked up Xiao Zhao and rubbed his little head a few times:
"You didn't do your job beautifully this time. You didn't obey my orders at all. I don't want to praise you and encourage your arrogance."
[Meow, Shen Lang doesn’t like me anymore? Woohoo... I’m so pitiful. I obviously have good intentions for you...]
"Of course it's not that I don't like you, it's just that you didn't do your job well and I have to point it out... In this way, you return the guns and some of the gunpowder, leaving only two barrels..."
"Okay, okay, stop acting like a spoiled brat...I told you I don't like you anymore."
After all, he was his own little demon, and he was really thinking about himself. Shen Lang couldn't be too harsh, so he had to show the patience of teaching a naughty child and explain in a nice way:
"The reason why I told you not to bring guns and cannons is because if there are only two barrels of gunpowder missing, the county soldiers can report them as training expenses and conceal the past. But if the guns and cannons, especially the cannons, disappear for no reason, it will be a big problem.
.Even if you want to report training losses, you must have damaged guns and artillery!
"We have space to carry with us, so of course we are not afraid of being traced. But the soldiers who lost so much ordnance in the barracks will be in trouble. Not only will they have to pay compensation and be fined, but they will also have to be jailed, exiled, or even shot.
"We can't implicate innocent people just to uphold justice, right? That would not even count as a robber who is both good and evil."
[...Woo, even if you are right, but don’t I have to make another trip? It’s so hard, meow~]
"Thank you for your hard work. Then tomorrow, I will buy you two big fresh fish. I guarantee that they are more than five kilograms, okay?"
