Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wind Rolls Away the Clouds

  The man who called himself Sword Without a Trace stepped forward with his broadsword and blocked the six men, opening his mouth to ask what was going on.

  One of the six men said, "Halfway through, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere. Let's not waste time talking to him, let's just kill him!" With that, he took the lead and charged forward, while the other five followed close behind, shouting as they went.

  Jian Wuheng didn't even have time to speak, when the six people's knives and sticks had already attacked him. Jian Wuheng quickly retreated backwards, "whoosh" sound, his chest clothes were torn apart in several places, the cloth strips were blown by the wind left and right, like a door curtain. Under the door curtain, two big characters were hidden: Taishan. The wind was so strong that it almost made him spit out blood, thinking to himself, "This outfit is not even worthy of a junior apprentice, yet you're already out here acting like a hero at level 50!"

  Xiang Gui Xiang, still hoping that Jian Wu Hen had some ultimate trick up his sleeve, but seeing Jian Wu Hen jumping around and shoving medicine into his mouth, occasionally letting out a ghostly wail, Feng Xiao Xiao was thoroughly disappointed. But at this time, she couldn't just walk away either. Hesitating for a moment, Jian Chu Hen suddenly shouted at her: "What are you staring at? Why aren't you coming to help?"

  The wind was howling, and I thought the sword scar would still have a heroic aura, shouting: "What are you looking at? Why don't you run quickly!" But after messing around for half a day, it turned out to be calling myself to help. I thought that if I could help, I wouldn't need to run away. Alas, in this situation, taking a step back is already considered a big step forward. Thinking of this, I picked up the package in my hand and swept it horizontally.

  Feng Xiao Xiao was originally extremely quick on the draw, but now with this thing in hand, it far exceeded his weight limit. This one swing of the staff went by like a slow-motion replay in a movie, but everyone was focused on that swordless slash, who would have thought that Feng Xiao Xiao, who had been desperately trying to save his life, would silently and stealthily sweep over with a single swing of the staff? Unfortunately, the staff was really too slow, and every time someone was hit by it, they had plenty of time to react, so everyone got swept away, but only their clothes were affected.

  The stick had only swept across the clothes, but it suddenly made a "ding" sound. Feng Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and when she looked again, it was the system prompt: You have learned the third move of the ultimate skill "Wind Walks Under Heaven".

  Ignoring the people in front of him, he pulled out his martial arts skills: Third move, Wind Rolls and Clouds Scatter, an unarmed attacking technique, Attack 2000-4000, Defense 100-200, Consumes internal energy 100-200.

  Before he could even think, three of the six people charged towards him, while the other three turned to deal with Swordless. Windy hastily threw aside the package in his hand and rushed forward, unleashing a "Wind Rolls Clouds Scatter". Hmm, it didn't come out, looking down, his internal energy was insufficient, dizziness, earlier he had run wildly without replenishing it, hastily dodging while eating a pill, feeling fortunate that this move only required 100 units of internal energy, if it were 101, he would have been doomed.

  In an instant, the inner force was full, and with a turn of his body, he kicked one person in front of him. The opponent only saw something flash before their eyes, and they had already been lightly sent flying out. They landed, stirring up a cloud of dust, and in a flash of white light, they were back to their original position. The remaining two people were shocked, having not seen what move Feng Xiaoxiao used earlier, but only seeing a shadowy figure flash by, one companion was already killed instantly. The two exchanged a terrified glance, not daring to move forward.

  The wind was howling with joy, I thought to myself that I finally had a move that I could use with confidence. How about it, aren't you coming up? That's even better, my internal energy is exhausted anyway! After taking some medicine, looking at the two people in front of me, they seemed to have completely given up on fighting back. Looking over there, Swordless was still holding his own against three opponents, his miserable state only slightly improved from before.

  Without saying a word, he rapidly moved forward and slapped one of the three people surrounding Jian Wuxue with his palm. "Plop" - this person was also sent flying by the slap, but this person's physique was relatively sturdy, not only did they not hang in mid-air, they could even get back up on their feet, and on top of their head a bright red 2000 was slowly rising.

  Everyone was shocked. They all stopped what they were doing, and the five of them looked at Feng Xiao Xiao with fear in their eyes, thinking that this guy had been pretending to be a fool all along. Indeed, how could someone who called Jian Chong Tian brother be a simple person?

  The wind blew gently as she flipped her head, and with a swift motion, she stuffed another pill into her mouth. Turning around, she struck a pose that was probably the epitome of coolness, walking slowly towards the other person.

  The five people opposite shouted in unison, and the wind whispered: "Ah, these five people are coming up at the same time, who should I hit first!" Before he could make up his mind, he saw five white lights flashing opposite, and the five people went offline simultaneously.

  He turned his head to look at Sword Without a Trace, who was gazing at him with an adoring expression. Wind Sighs smiled and said, "Thanks for saving me this time!" The other party didn't show any signs of embarrassment, and with a suave gesture, sheathed his sword, saying, "Being chivalrous and helping those in need is what I should do!" Wind Sighs thought to himself that the wuxia game atmosphere was all up to them.

  A drop of water in need, should be repaid with a gushing spring. Unfortunately, the sword without a trace only became an idea and didn't become reality. Instead, he himself was saved by the whistling wind. So neither of them had the chivalrous thought of who owed whom. The two added each other as friends, exchanged a few pleasantries, and bid farewell.

  He turned around, shouldered his bundle and returned to Xiangyang, rushing straight to the Youjian Teahouse. He went upstairs and sat down in his old spot, but before he could even warm up the seat, a flash of white light appeared, and someone materialized in the same position where Wanjiantong had logged off N days ago.

  "Are you all-knowing?" Feng Xiao Xiao asked doubtfully.

  "Is it me? You're so windy?"

  "Is it me? How are you still online here? You haven't left since you logged off?"

  "Yeah, I've been busy these past few days, no time to play!"

  "You're always offline, how can you be an expert in everything?"

  "The game doesn't come often, but I often pay attention to web pages and forums!"

  "Why bother watching those when you don't have time for gaming?" Feng Xiao Xiao laughed.

  "Stupid, can't you see it's working hours on the webpage? Can gaming be allowed?"

  "Haha, what's new with you lately?"

  "That's just some adjustments after the game started charging, but the officials are going to hold an event to celebrate the game's official operation!"

  "What an activity!"

  "Martial Arts Tournament!"

  "Martial Arts Tournament?!"

  "That's right, the top ten systems will be rewarded!"

  "Can anyone sign up?"

  "Of course!"

  "This game has so many players, how long will it take to finish?"

  "Hehe, that's just registration, wanting to participate in the competition requires passing the qualification match!"

  "What qualification match?"

  "After signing up, the system will send you to a dueling arena to fight against an NPC. If you defeat this NPC, you'll have the qualification to participate in the tournament. I estimate that this NPC should be at least level 50!"

  "Alright, then just limit it to those above level 50 signing up!"

  "That's right, every player has the right to enjoy all the activities in the game!"

  Wan Shi Tong continued with a smile: "I saw you seemed eager just now, how about it, have you given up now?"

  The wind whispered with a smile: "I'm already level 53!"

  "Wow, how did it go up so quickly!"

  "It's a secret!" A mysterious smile: "It's a secret!" In fact, what is the secret, it's just that I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud. Every day, let the girl hit me, and I lie down to gain experience, how can I bear to say it?

  "Is someone guiding you?"

  The wind was whispering without saying a word, but the gaze that flowed with approval and adoration made Wanshitong feel comfortable all over, so he didn't continue to ask questions, putting on an air of "I know everything".

  Wan Shi Tong sat for a moment and felt that something was wrong. He looked down and asked, "Hey, why are you just sitting there without asking for tea?"

  "It's just because we don't have money!"

  "Everything goes well!" shouted loudly: "I invite it!"

  "The wind whispered: 'I don't dare to expect you!'"

  The words had barely fallen when a message arrived, and Yi Jianzhong asked: "Brother, where are you?"
