Chapter 7 Sword Power
"It's a reinforcement signal from the Patrol Division!" Li Fu'an's expression changed slightly. He recognized the signal smoke coming from the Patrol Division at a glance, and he reacted immediately and said.
"Go quickly."
The person who can send out this signal smoke must be a patrol or the patrol chief, and he must be in trouble, otherwise he will not seek reinforcements.
Of course, the targets of reinforcements will only be other patrol members, not night watchmen like them who have little combat power.
Li Fu'an didn't want to get involved, so he pulled Song Changming and wanted to stay away first.
However, Song Changming had roots under his feet and stood still.
In the past, when encountering this kind of situation, he always chose to protect himself wisely and immediately followed Li Fuan to evade and leave.
But this time, he hesitated.
The Soul-Destroying Sword had just completed his breakthrough in realm, and he was looking for an opportunity to make meritorious deeds in front of others.
This time was an opportunity, but it was just a bit risky. After all, he didn't know the situation yet.
If you are too aggressive, you may lose your life instead of succeeding.
Even though he has a life guarantee, this is what he has saved for more than ten years.
Would you like to take a gamble?
"Chang Ming?" Li Fu'an couldn't pull Song Chang Ming, and he was very puzzled.
In the past, this kid was very smart and should have disappeared long ago. How could he be so slow today.
Song Changming took one last look at the dark alley, his thoughts wandered a few times, and finally he turned around and followed Li Fuan away.
Wait a moment, there is still room for improvement in his sword skills, and there are clearly other more reliable opportunities, so why take the risk this time.
You can be decisive by staying calm, but there is no need to act rashly.
His advantage lies in time. He has a long time to accumulate and wait, and there is no need to show off his courage.
A few days later, Song Changming heard about this night.
In order to apprehend a thief with a bounty on his head, more than a dozen patrolmen died, but in the end the director of Houli Street was alerted to take action personally, and he was successfully captured.
Song Changming was glad that he did not act impulsively that night, otherwise, he would probably have to add a night watchman to the death list.
It was able to force several patrol chiefs to do nothing. The patrols suffered heavy casualties, and even alarmed the director. Even ten prisoners of this level could not be dealt with by him.
"It's still not strong enough," Song Changming sighed secretly.
Although becoming a patrolman has a brighter future and better pay, you still need to be strong enough to protect yourself.
After that, Song Changming continued to practice swordsmanship every day, worked diligently every night, and improved every day.
In the blink of an eye, winter turns to spring, spring turns to summer solstice, and more than half a year has passed.
Inside the fence, in the yard, Song Changming was naked from the waist up, revealing his muscular body.
As he is about to turn nineteen, his youthfulness has gradually faded away, and his face has become more heroic.
The long sword in his hand kept slashing, and the whistling wind of the sword was powerful.
Suddenly, Song Changming's blade turned, and the force that had just been strong disappeared in an instant.
Song Changming's eyes became clearer and clearer. Visible to the naked eye, his sword moves became faster and more difficult to predict.
Buzz!
At a certain moment, the sword wind came up again, but it let out a ghost-like scream, which made people feel inexplicably frightened.
If you practice the sword skills of the ghost sword faction to a small degree, you can get a hint of ghost sword power!
But now, Song Changming has rewarded his hard work, and this sword skill has finally achieved some success!
Stop and put the knife away.
The blade of the blade slashed across the ground, causing the soil to fly away and leaving a scar several inches deep, showing that it was very powerful.
Although Song Changming has not yet formally trained his body, after practicing swordsmanship, his body will naturally become much stronger than before.
"Achieving a small level of success!"
Song Changming wiped the sweat from his face and felt the force of the sword that had just exploded, and his joy was beyond words.
After practicing swordsmanship for more than half a year, this sword power is his biggest gain!
This is also an important criterion for judging the achievements of sword skills. There is even a competition between master swordsmen to see who has more exquisite sword skills and stronger sword power.
Only by mastering the power of 'potential' can one be called a master.
[Soul-Severing Knife: Xiao Cheng (0/2000)]
"That should be enough."
Song Changming put his sword into its sheath and stood still. After a lot of accumulation, he was now confident about his own strength.
If you have enough strength, many things will become easier.
This day.
Houli Street, Fugui Restaurant.
Liang Chuanshan led a group of patrolmen under him and strode inside, alarming many diners on the first floor.
"Master, what are you doing?" Seeing that Liang Chuanshan and others were not here to eat or drink, the restaurant owner hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Arrest people, you have nothing to do with this matter." Liang Chuanshan said with a sullen face and led a group of patrolmen upstairs in a hurry.
"It's right here!" A spy pointed to a private room on the third floor and whispered.
"Is that right?" Liang Chuanshan asked as he squinted at the private room.
"You can't be wrong. Chen Beihu, the bandit leader on Tengya Mountain, is worth one hundred silver dollars on the wanted list. He appeared once in Changting Street before, and now he has found his way to our Houli Street!" the spy said confidently.
The eyes of the patrolmen following behind him lit up when they heard the reward of one hundred silver coins.
This is not a small amount, it is almost equal to their two years of labor and food banknotes.
Liang Chuanshan no longer hesitated, raised his hand, and the guard behind him immediately raised his crossbow and pointed it at the private room.
One of the guards kicked open the wooden door of the private room, only to find that the private room was already empty, with only a large open window remaining, letting in the hot summer wind.
Upon seeing this, the patrol immediately looked out the window and saw a burly man wearing a bamboo hat to hide his face outside the restaurant, fighting with the several patrol guards they were guarding outside the restaurant.
"Chase!" Liang Chuanshan snorted coldly and shouted.
"Boss, do you want to send signal smoke?" a patrolman asked.
"What the hell! Do you want me to share the merits I have obtained? A mere bandit worth only a hundred silver, capture it for me today!" Liang Chuanshan glared at the patrolman, turned over and walked out of the three-story pavilion. He jumped down and chased after him himself.
"Damn it!" Chen Beihu slashed the entangled patrolman with his sword and fled quickly.
He just came to the county town to buy food. He thought it would be safer to blend in with the crowd and keep a low profile.
But he didn't expect that he was also wanted on the wanted list. With the reward money, he was no longer an unknown soldier in the bandit army.
Although he was very happy to have made a name for himself, and he was now a famous character, but the prerequisite was that he had to successfully escape the danger and leave the county, otherwise he would be happy too early.
Another restaurant on Houli Street.
"You said Liang Chuanshan and the others are looking for a wanted criminal with a reward on his head?" Sun Wenyan put down the wine glass in his hand after listening to his spies' report.
"It seems that they are still from the Tengyaoshan bandit army that appeared on Changting Street before." The spy said.
"Bandit army." Upon hearing this, Sun Wenyan frowned even more tightly.
Thinking that this prisoner had the identity of a rebel bandit and a reward on his head, this achievement was not small, so he immediately asked: "Have you caught him?"
"Probably not yet. The bandit was very cunning and had already escaped with injuries." The spy witnessed Liang Chuanshan arresting people on the street and knew the result.
Sun Wenyan smiled slightly, it's good that he didn't catch it.
Liang Chuanshan hasn't put out signal smoke yet, probably because he doesn't want to be given the credit.
It's just that Sun Wenyan didn't know about it. Now that he knew about it, how could he let this piece of fat fall into the mouths of other patrol chiefs.
"Let's go, arrest people!" Sun Wenyan suddenly stood up and ordered his men to patrol.
