Chapter 155

  It seems that no one pays attention to Cheng Dairen's posture, and blood cannot make the extremely evil people retreat. They rush over like a swarm of bees, shouting: "Kill! Kill!"

  "Damn it!" Cheng Dairen cursed loudly: "Blockhead! Die for me!"

  The sword comes out, straightforward and direct, piercing the throat.

  Same position, same bright red blood, same dead and unblinking eyes. Those empty eyes were filled with terror, as if asking: Is there still a faster sword in the world?!

  If Zhang Da Lei knew about his inner concerns, he would kindly tell the other party: Actually, there are.

  It's just the first style and Cheng Dairen is just a beginner.

  When the sword is drawn, it will not be fired in vain. Cheng Dairen consecutively thrusts out six swords, each sword seals the throat.

  No one knew the pain of Cheng Dairen, he didn't have the ability to wield this sword, every time he stabbed out a sword, it brought great pain to his body. Just like sprinkling a handful of tacks in the shoes of a top dancer, after a thrilling dance, the dancer's feet were also bloody.

  The last sword, Cheng Dairen swallowed but did not release it. Blood flowed along the blade, and Cheng Dairen raised an eyebrow to ask, his eyes colder than the sword's intent.

  "You, who can take my one sword!"

  The battle in Qin Man Na was also nearing its end, and he was observing the situation on Cheng Da Lei's side, who was shocked by his swordsmanship.

  Taking advantage of his physical strength, he shot and killed Bear Old Big, and immediately came to Cheng Daren's side.

  The henchmen of Xiong Lao Da scattered immediately after seeing their boss die. Qin Man also didn't go to chase them.

  "Great Master, when did you learn such a magnificent sword technique?" Qin Man.

  Cheng Dalai raised an eyebrow: "Do you think that the gods' transmission of skills only taught me axe techniques?"

  "...the Qin Miao."

  "Hey, master, what's wrong with you? Master, wake up quickly."

  Cheng Dali, faint.

  Waiting for him to wake up again, he didn't know how long he had been asleep. Looking around, he found himself back in the Toad Village. His body still felt weak all over, it seemed that the consumption of this sword was extremely great. In the future, if possible, he should not use it lightly.

  Qin Man, Xu Shenji and Liu Bei hurried over as soon as they heard that Cheng Dairen had woken up.

  "How long was I out?" asked Cheng Dairen.

  "A whole day and night."

  "It's been so long!" Cheng Daire was startled, fortunately he only used six swords, if he had used seven swords, he would have probably been finished off.

  "This sword technique is a great master of Jianghu martial arts, but it's not very useful on the battlefield." Qin Man.

  Cheng Dalai nodded, indicating that he understood. On the battlefield, killing enemies was still more satisfying with heavy and powerful weapons like axes, large guns, and big knives.

  "What happened while I was out?"

  "The King of Youzhou dragged away the body of Xiong Lao Da, and it's said that the King of Youzhou couldn't stop praising the Eldest Young Master, even sending people to bestow many gifts." - Xu Shenji

  "What did you bring?"

  "One hundred taels of silver, ten pieces of jade, fifty bolts of silk, and some furniture."

  "They're all useless things."

  "We've killed Bear Big Brother, and our Frog Village's reputation has spread throughout Youzhou City. Now who doesn't know about the reputation of our Frog Village? How does it look like, Master seems a bit unhappy?"

  "Dogs bite dogs, no matter which dog dies, it's always the happiest for the onlookers. What do we have to be happy about?" Cheng Dalai rubbed his aching head: "If my fists weren't so small and my teeth not so soft now, why would I be controlled by others... Just hope that Xiong Lao's corpse can shut Yang Long's mouth for a few days."

  Time passed day by day, and finally, this long winter is coming to an end. After the weather warmed up, the construction of the mountain stronghold accelerated, and it seemed that all projects would be completed soon.

  The snow and ice begin to melt, and a waterfall bursts out from the cliff at the foot of the mountain village, flowing along the deeply dug river channel. The river serves as a dividing line, with houses on the left and farmland on the right.

  Including: Dianjiangtai, civilian residences, medical halls, drill grounds, warehouses, blacksmith shops, wood workshops, and garment factories.

  The water flows out of the valley mouth and converges with the river that winds its way around the mountain valley, forming a natural moat. Outside the valley mouth stands a fortified castle, whose walls are wide enough for five people to walk abreast, equipped with catapults and replicas of heavy crossbows, always stocked with bolts and stones.

  If Xiong Lao Da were alive and walked into the Frog Village, knowing what Cheng Da Lei was preparing every day, he should know that Cheng Da Lei would not stoop to being a running dog for anyone.

  This day is the day of installing the city gate, which is considered as the final step of the project, with great symbolic significance.

  In the midst of everyone's shouting, the heavy wooden gate was pushed up against the city wall.

  At this point, Cheng Dairen's stronghold was fully completed and it truly deserved the reputation of being able to withstand a single man holding off against ten thousand.

  Rumble!

  A dull thunder rumbled through the sky, a cool sensation fell on people's faces, and everyone stretched out their hands to find rain in their palms.

  After a year, the heavens finally relented and bestowed upon the world a rain shower, washing away the chill in the air.

  Cheng Dali raised his head and looked at the clouds above, murmuring: "The hibernating insects are stirring."

  The day of Jingzhe, spring thunder sounds, all things revive.

  Spring has arrived.

  The rain fell for a long time, and after the snow melted, it flowed down along the cliff. The river in the valley seemed to have a few urgent meanings.

  Cheng Dali took shelter from the rain in a small hut, gazing out at the rainy scene outside the window with a somewhat melancholy expression.

  "Master, the mountain stronghold is already built, it's much safer here than before, why are you still not happy? Or would you like me to sing a little tune for you?" said Liu Zhi.

  "Whatever, whatever."

  Cheng Dairen was somewhat absent-minded, and the reason for his unhappiness was that after the completion of the mountain stronghold, he did not receive a system prompt. Without a prompt, it meant that he had not yet upgraded the stronghold to level three, and therefore did not have any additional attributes from the system.

  What's the difference after all?

  The system had rewarded Cheng Darui a third-rate stronghold construction blueprint, which also included the upgrade requirements for the third-rate stronghold. Now, Cheng Darui was carefully comparing them one by one.

  "Dotting the stage, training grounds...... I already have these, population requirement of one thousand, now also satisfied. No, no, the problem lies here, still lacking one item..."

  Third-rate mountain stronghold, also need to meet a condition: top-level figure 3.

  Qin Man and Zhao Zilong are the only two top-notch figures in the mountain stronghold, with one being able to take on a hundred, it's absolutely not a problem. I thought having these two would be enough. Who would have thought that upgrading the mountain stronghold requires owning three top-notch figures.

  But where did the third one go?

  "Robes like snow, precious hair piled high. Cherry lips, apricot cheeks; willow waist, orchid heart and elegant nature. Singing voice twists and turns, sound like a stream flowing on the branches; dancing posture skips and leaps, shadow like a phoenix turning among flowers."

  At this moment, a soft and sweet voice sounded in his ear, disturbing Cheng Dairen's thoughts. He came back to himself and saw that the voice was coming from Liu Zhi's mouth.

  "How did you know this?" Cheng Daire was startled.

  "It's supposed to be like that." Liu Zhi had a few points of pride, but then lowered her head: "Taught in the brothel."

  This spring rain has been falling for three days, and as soon as the rain clears up, it can be considered that spring has arrived in the world of men.

  Then Cheng Darui received the news that Yang Long led an army of 50,000 to attack Heishi City, with the slogan: Don't ask about others, only execute Xue Si.
