Chapter 174 I’m here to fry fish
Zhao Zhiben was a master of the fourth level of heaven and a veteran grandmaster of the East Ji Kingdom. At this moment, he looked like he was coming to punish the enemy. He was really impressive and aloof.
The majestic figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Ye Qingzhou.
Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was safe and sound, Zhao Zhiyi looked slightly surprised, but then felt inexplicably uneasy. This was a whim warning him.
As for the reason for the warning, it's not complicated.
A master-level martial arts master's Qi permeates the heaven and earth, and after death, he will naturally scatter part of his essence, Qi, and spirit between the heaven and the earth, leaving various traces.
And Zhao Zhiyi felt this trace and felt some kind of crisis subconsciously.
Ye Qingzhou had long known about Zhao Zhiyi's arrival, but at this moment he was too lazy to stand up and salute. He still sat on the ground with his eyes closed and practiced, absorbing and refining the power of the dragon veins in the ground.
"Are you talking about Li Yaoping? I forgot where to bury him. How about, President Zhao, dig along the dragon's veins and take a look?"
This casual tone was undoubtedly arousing Zhao Zhiyi's anger.
"Ye Qingzhou! How dare you kill a martial arts master?"
"People will die when they are killed. What's so strange about that?"
"Do you know what you are doing!"
Zhao Zhiyi was extremely angry at this moment. Although it was a national policy to secretly suppress martial arts families, what the official needed was balance, not direct physical elimination.
After all, the martial arts family at this time is still an important force in the martial arts world of Dongji Country. Many dangerous secret realms are suppressed and defended by masters from martial arts families, so that the situation remains stable and the society operates in an orderly manner. Instead of frequent chaos.
If all the martial arts families were rashly wiped out, who would be sent to guard these dangerous places?
By then, the martial arts associations in various places will be exhausted, and if they make a slight mistake, millions of people may be killed or injured, causing shock to the whole country and instability in the world.
What's more, can the martial arts family be completely destroyed?
As long as the fundamental system of private ownership does not change, the civilian martial arts families growing up today will also establish new martial arts families in the future.
Therefore, for the goal of long-term peace and stability, balance is the real long-term solution.
What Zhao Zhiyi needs most at this moment is precisely the balance of the situation, not the rapid demise of all the martial arts families in Hunan Province.
This is also the reason why Zhao Zhiyi asked Ye Qingzhou, obviously blaming him for not knowing the importance and doing things recklessly.
However, Ye Qingzhou didn't think so: "Of course I knew what I was doing. Li Yaoping wanted to kill me, so I killed him out of legitimate defense. According to the rules of the martial arts world, this kind of thing is reasonable and legal. Why, President Zhao, do you have a different opinion? Do you have any opinions on the national laws of Dongji Country?”
Ye Qingzhou finished his exercise and exhaled a breath of turbid air. He stood up suddenly, opened his eyes, and looked at Zhao Zhiyi coldly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "President Zhao came too late. I really want to Save people, please come earlier next time.”
"Ye Qingzhou, do you know that by doing this, you are weakening the combat power of my human race?"
Faced with Ye Qingzhou's sarcasm, Zhao Zhiyi turned purple at the moment and was furious: "You act so wantonly and disregard the overall situation. Do you really think I can't deal with you?"
"So, what President Zhao means is that when Li Yaoping comes to kill me, it won't weaken the human race's combat power? And I shouldn't resist, but just wait to be killed?"
Ye Qingzhou sneered at Zhao Zhiyi's remarks.
When someone asks you to take into account the overall situation, then you yourself are definitely not in this overall situation.
If we really want to say that it was Li Yaoping and the Li family of Liancheng who acted wantonly, how could they blame Ye Qingzhou?
Let Li Yaoping go this time, but what about next time?
Wait for the Li family in Liancheng to spend a lot of money to hire others to help with their fists, and then drag their families and everyone to push it on themselves?
Then with Yingyue around, Ye Qingzhou wasn't afraid of the siege, but why should a good person be pointed at a gun?
In Ye Qingzhou's view, Li Yaoping wanted to kill him, and he did so, so it was natural for him to be killed by him.
As for Li Yaoping's identity and achievements?
None of my business!
When Zhao Zhi saw that Ye Qingzhou not only did not repent, but also contradicted him, he became even more angry.
"Ye Qingzhou, don't think that you can be arrogant and lawless with the help of the divine fortune teller and the divine general Qinglong. Don't think that you have done a perfect job in killing people and silencing them. Li Jianen made a call for help once. I can definitely use it. For this reason, I will take you back for investigation.”
"President Zhao means that if you received a call for help but didn't come to the rescue immediately, then it's up to you to have Li Yaoping killed. If you had come earlier, maybe he wouldn't have died?"
"You!"
Zhao Zhiyi knew he had made a mistake, but then he straightened his face and stopped mentioning the matter. Instead, he changed the subject: "No matter what, you shouldn't kill people. This is too much!"
"Too much?"
Ye Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Zhiyi with a mocking look on his face: "Then what does President Zhao think I should do to avoid going too far?"
"You can definitely hand over Li Yaoping to our Wushu Association for punishment, but you should not resort to lynching."
"May I ask how the Wushu Association plans to deal with it? Three drinks as a penalty, then laugh away the grudges and pretend that nothing happened?"
"You are bold!"
"Why, can't I ask you?"
The two refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere became tense.
"President Zhao."
Liu Yiming didn't know when he had arrived at Longhua Mountain and appeared next to Ye Qingzhou.
Obviously, he was the reinforcement brought by Xu Yinchuan. This time he came to represent the Liu family in Star City and the Xu family in Linjiang to support Ye Qingzhou.
As soon as Zhao Zhi saw Liu Yiming's arrival, he already understood that the matter could only end here. With the Xu family and the Liu family coming forward, even he could not cover up the sky with one hand and circumvent the rules to deal with Ye Qingzhou.
But before leaving, Zhao Zhiyi looked at Ye Qingzhou deeply: "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."
Seeing Zhao Zhiyi finally leaving, Liu Yiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to fight against a martial arts master who had been famous for many years.
Later, Liu Yiming looked at Ye Qingzhou with an unbelievable expression, his expression was quite complicated, and finally asked: "Did you really kill Li Yaoping?"
Ye Qingzhou quickly emphasized: "What killing? In the situation at that time, my behavior was self-defense, okay? He brought people to surround me, so I had no choice but to kill them."
"..."
Liu Yiming suddenly felt suffocated. He originally thought that he was promoted to the master level at the age of twenty-five and was already a genius.
In the blink of an eye, he met a monster like Ye Qingzhou. He was surrounded and killed by the martial arts master at the age of 17. In the end, it was the martial arts master who died. Maybe he also got along with several professional martial arts masters?
Is this reasonable?
Being treated like this by Ye Qingzhou, Liu Yiming suddenly felt that his status as a martial arts master seemed to be very worthless.
In the end, Liu Yiming could only say with emotion: "As long as you are fine."
“Not only am I okay, I feel great.”
The five qi in Ye Qingzhou's body are spinning endlessly at this moment, and the five internal organs are getting stronger and stronger. As long as the refining of the internal organs and the blood exchange are completed, his second-speed power will probably be even higher, and the upper limit of super speed will continue to be raised.
…………
Dang Dang Dang~
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Ye Qingzhou was busy "beating iron" in his small courtyard. He was seen waving his fists all over the sky and forging the sword embryo on the iron felt.
Every stroke is a blessing to the soul.
Every blow penetrated the spine of the sword.
Ye Qingzhou's moves, which have been refined over time, have finally reached a state of perfection. The moves are perfect, unchangeable, and unable to make progress. He has exhausted his human power and reached the limit.
Under the tempering to reach the perfect state, the divine gold, black iron and golden flame stone, which were used as forging materials, produced a wonderful chemical reaction.
Not only do their original material properties not hinder each other, but they are perfectly combined. In addition to the original three properties of true energy resonance, attack burst, and indestructibility, they also have an additional weapon property.
Ye Qingzhou held the masterpiece he had made in front of him in his hand, stroked the thick and strong sword spine, and greeted Yingyue who was playing games at home with a smile: "Come, try the sword with me! ”
Yingyue put down the handle and looked at the nearly two-meter-long epee in Ye Qingzhou's hand. She was also quite surprised: "This should be the first top-quality weapon you have successfully built, Lang Jun, right?"
"Not bad."
Ye Qingzhou looked at the heavy sword in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. Then he waved to Yingyue: "Let's find a place to test the power of this sword." Then the two of them jumped up and rode the wind. Yu Qi came to the outskirts and stopped on the bank of Xiaoshui River.
Although it was freezing cold, there were still many fishermen gathering by the river.
Wearing thick coats and setting up tents, they braved the cold wind and continued to feed the fish in the river as always, fearing that the fish would starve to death in the winter.
Despite their enthusiasm, the cost-effectiveness of fishing is very impressive. Even if they feed a hundred kilograms of bait, they may not be able to catch a few kilograms of fish.
But the fishermen are still enjoying it, so much so that some rivers in the East Pole Country only prohibit fishing even during the fishing moratorium, but fishing by one person with a single pole is not prohibited.
After all, for a school of fish, they feed a large amount of food every day, but only occasionally capture a few unlucky ones from the group. This behavior of humans is no different from a gift, and they can be called gods among the fish tribe!
Ye Qingzhou took Yingyue to the river and was surprised to find that among the tightly wrapped fishing guys by the river, there was actually his own class teacher Zhu Hanwen.
"Laoban?"
"Ye Qingzhou?"
Zhu Hanwen was so cold that his nose was soaked with snot, but he still stuck to his post. He was obviously a senior fisherman.
After he saw Ye Qingzhou, he was quite happy. He introduced to several fishing friends next to him: "Hey, this is my student. He is number one on the Qianlong list on 'Tian Xia Lun Wu'. He just won the title of "Our Hunan" not long ago. Provincial Fengchu Cup Martial Arts League Champion”
"Awesome!"
"Young people have a bright future!"
Many fishermen looked at Zhu Hanwen with envy. With such a student, would he have to worry about it for the rest of his life?
Are you afraid that you won’t be able to get all the bonuses?
Zhu Hanwen asked cheerfully: "Ye Qingzhou, are you here to fish too?"
Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "I'm here to fry fish."
"Huh?"
Zhu Hanwen looked stunned.
Before he had time to ask, Ye Qingzhou looked at Yingyue: "Just give me a slap, just gently, and it will work."
"Okay, Mr. Lang."
Yingyue wore jeans that clung to her waist and a red and white striped knitted sweater. She had exquisite make-up and was extremely beautiful. Her eyes and smile had a captivating charm.
It was only then that Zhu Hanwen and the others noticed that behind Ye Qingzhou, there was a woman, a beauty so beautiful that it could kill someone.
Previously, Yingyue had restrained her aura and relied on the master's realm to become one with the world.
If she didn't speak, Zhu Hanwen and others would not be aware of her presence at all.
At this time, Yingyue raised her white and delicate palms, like finely carved jade, which was unforgettable in the winter sunshine.
But this delicate palm seemed to be able to squeeze water out of it with just a tap, and with just a tap, strong winds blew up around it, causing shocking air currents.
Zhu Hanwen's legs became weak instinctively, as if he was facing a natural disaster, and he was even more horrified in his heart: 'What the hell is this power? ’
Dang~
The palm of his hand landed "gently" on the sword, but the sound it made was deafening, as if two trains traveling at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour suddenly collided.
If Ye Qingzhou and Yingyue hadn't been cleverly restrained by Ye Qingzhou and Yingyue in the aftermath of the overwhelming sound and waves, Zhu Hanwen and others would have been shattered into pieces all over the sky.
"Yingyue, your palm skills have improved again."
Ye Qingzhou used the big sword in his hand to firmly bear Yingyue's palm.
When Yingyue received Ye Qingzhou's praise, she smiled and then showed a surprised expression: "Lang Jun, the sword in your hand can actually absorb my palm power?"
It was not difficult for Ye Qingzhou to take this palm. What really surprised Yingyue was that her palm seemed to hit a ball of cotton, and the force it emitted was like a cow entering the sea.
"Haha, this is what's special about this sword, look at my super shocking slash!"
Ye Qingzhou laughed, then turned towards Xiaoshui, and suddenly waved the sword in his hand.
I saw the big sword that had absorbed the strength of Yingyue's palm. At this moment, it was like an angry dragon roaring to the sky. The sword slashed out, and the red sword energy bombarded the river water, making a loud noise.
A large vacuum area was blown up on the water surface, and the river water flowed backwards to form a huge whirlpool, followed by countless fish, shrimps and crabs, falling from the sky with splashes of water.
"This sword can absorb and transform the opponent's attack and store it in the blade. Once it is slashed out, it will roar like a red dragon, shaking the heaven and earth. In this case, why not just name it Red Roar."
Holding the Red Roar Sword in his hand, Ye Qingzhou was in a good mood.
This is the first top-quality weapon he has personally crafted. Although it is far from the peerless magic weapon, the joy brought by the creation is still indescribable.
"After learning the sword-making techniques in the "Tianzhu Jing", my understanding of swordsmanship seems to have improved to a higher level. It seems that there is no end to learning in the path of martial arts."
Ye Qingzhou was so satisfied that he put the Red Roar Sword into its scabbard, said goodbye to Zhu Hanwen, and turned around to leave.
Zhu Hanwen was stunned for a long time, and then he cursed in a dumbfounded voice: "Is this kid really here to fry fish?"
He looked at the fish, shrimps and crabs all over the floor, and then tacitly picked out a few of the biggest ones, took them as trophies, and left. What kind of fish were fried by students?
This was obviously something he caught himself!
No one else knows anyway!
Several nearby fishermen saw this posture and joined in one after another. Those who picked up fish picked up fish, and those who took pictures took photos. The air force has been in the air force for several days, and this time, they have to exhale and raise their eyebrows no matter what!
As for fried fish?
Who fried the fish?
Didn't see it!
Don't talk nonsense!
…………
Star City, the Liu family's mansion.
Liu Dingjian, who received the Red Roaring Sword, really couldn't put it down for his new weapon.
When Liu Yiming and Liu Haochi learned about this, they were also very surprised: "You said that this top-quality sword was made by Ye Qingzhou himself?"
"Well, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it is an indisputable fact that Ye Qingzhou has inherited the inheritance of Emperor Yan, and there is no need for him to lie about this kind of thing."
Liu Dingjian stroked the blade of the Red Roar Sword, and the unique burning sensation of the golden flame stone made him feel hot: "It can actually have four characteristics. It is truly a top-notch sword."
As one of the two most prestigious sword-making families in Hunan Province, the Liu family of Xingcheng is naturally very familiar with the evaluation of famous swords.
A high-grade famous sword made by a good craftsman can often only have one characteristic, such as speed, sharpness, agility, etc., which are some of the most popular characteristics among swordsmen.
Swiftness can make the sword draw faster, sharpness can enhance the armor-piercing effect, and agility can make the sword body lighter, so that the sword moves can be more varied.
Why can a high-grade famous sword only have one characteristic and cannot be superimposed on multiple characteristics?
Because Lianggong himself has limited abilities, he cannot fully utilize the characteristics of various forging materials. Therefore, he can only make choices through combination and arrangement, sacrificing the characteristics of some materials in exchange for strengthening the characteristics of other materials.
At the craftsman level, with the improvement of forging skills and a deeper understanding of forging materials, the craftsman has the ability to create high-quality swords with two characteristics.
For example, the Xuanjian sword used by Ye Qingzhou before had both the characteristics of speed and sharpness. It was obviously made by a senior craftsman of the famous sword group.
In addition, on top of the fine products, there are also the rare and the best.
Among them, the precious sword has three characteristics.
The top-grade famous sword has four characteristics. Ye Qingzhou is now a genuine master craftsman.
Although Zongjiang is just one level higher than famous craftsman, in fact the gap between the two is huge, it can be said to be a world of difference.
Because the famous craftsmen just bring out the characteristics of all the casting materials so that they do not interfere with each other, but the master craftsman is different.
Religion not only needs to perfectly bring out the original material properties of the casting materials, but also combines the three materials to give birth to a new property that was not available before.
This new feature cannot conflict with the original features, but must fit perfectly.
The skill requirements for swordsmiths are extremely stringent, and often require the pouring of inspiration. Only with the blessing of a flash of inspiration can a truly unique and top-quality sword be created.
There is no doubt that the Red Roar Sword in Liu Dingjian's hand is such a rare masterpiece.
