Zhang Wuji
The screams came from the Mount Song disciples. Of the seventeen Mount Song disciples who entered the second floor, half of them were now lying in pools of blood. The killer was Li Wei.
The broadsword in his hand was clearly forcibly taken. Under the full set of the 10th level Misty Cloud Thirteen Forms, the Mount Song disciples could not withstand even a single sword strike. Zuo Lengchan was stunned by Li Wei's sudden killing spree and was so shocked that he could not utter a sound. Only after all seventeen Mount Song disciples were dead did Li Wei sheathe his sword and shake off the bloodstains on it.
Seeing that Zuo Lengchan was still in a daze, Li Wei listened to the sound of people coming upstairs and said calmly, "Sect Leader Zuo, if you don't stop your disciples, even more people will die because of you. You should think it through."
At this moment, Zuo Lengchan, his face bruised and swollen, finally realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted, "Disciples downstairs, listen to my command! No one is allowed to go up to the second floor!"
It must be said that Zuo Lengchan's methods of managing his subordinates were quite skillful. With just one sentence, all the Mount Song disciples downstairs who were about to go upstairs stopped in their tracks and turned around to go downstairs.
Now, only Li Wei, Duan Yu, and Linghu Chong remained on the second floor, along with Zuo Lengchan and a pile of corpses.
For a moment, the scene fell silent. Zuo Lengchan no longer wanted to fight Li Wei. As the leader of a sect, he had already seen from their previous exchange and the severe beating he had received that Li Wei's martial arts skills were clearly superior to his own. Therefore, continuing to fight would only bring him further humiliation.
Li Wei's sudden killing of so many disciples shocked Zuo Lengchan. This young man was not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts, but also had reached the level of a sect leader at a young age. Moreover, he was decisive and ruthless in his actions, killing more than a dozen people without hesitation. Zuo Lengchan asked himself if he could have been so heartless at that age.
Little did he know that Li Wei had to be decisive in his mission on Dark Night Street. If he hesitated, not only would he fail to accomplish the task, but he would also endanger his own and his friends' lives.
A heart burdened with womanly compassion will never accomplish great things.
After a long while, Zuo Lengchan, his face burning with pain, got up from the ground and asked with a hint of inquiry, "Young hero, although I don't know why you did this, I have indeed lost. My skills are inferior. You may kill me or kill me, but don't even think about humiliating me again. Otherwise, I will fight to the death rather than let you do as you please."
Hearing Zuo Lengchan's slightly weak words, Li Wei almost burst out laughing. Looking at Zuo Lengchan's swollen face, where was the imposing demeanor and bearing of a sect leader?
His clothes were disheveled, his face was still wet with blood, and his purple-gold crown was askew; clearly, the flurry of punches had taken a toll on him.
"Sect Leader Zuo, I killed these people for your own good. You don't want others to know about what happened today, do you? Although they are your disciples, you can't see into people's hearts. No one knows if they will betray you one day. Only the dead will not tell others about what happened to Sect Leader Zuo today. Don't you think so?" Li Wei laughed like a devil, making Zuo Lengchan's right eyelid twitch.
"What... what do you mean?" Countless possibilities ran through Zuo Lengchan's mind. It seemed that this highly skilled young man in front of him did not want to kill him.
Li Wei chuckled, "Sect Leader Zuo, let me be frank. I killed so many people because I didn't want word to get out that you were badly beaten today. I did this for your sake, so shouldn't Sect Leader Zuo also show some appreciation..."
Zuo Lengchan finally understood what the wicked-looking young man in front of him was planning. However, the young man was right. If today's events did not spread, he would still be a revered hero, sect leader, alliance leader, and martial arts master.
"Tell me, what do you want? Gold and silver jewelry?" Zuo Lengchan asked tentatively. If the other party really wanted these things, it would be easy to get rid of them.
Unexpectedly, Li Wei's next words left Zuo Lengchan stunned for a long time.
I want you to be my subordinate.
On the first floor of the restaurant, a large number of disciples from Mount Song gathered. Two hours later, their sect leader Zuo Lengchan, finally came down with a gloomy expression.
"Returning to Mount Song"
After saying only one sentence, Zuo Lengchan hurriedly led his men away.
On the second floor of the restaurant, Li Wei sat in a chair, watching Zuo Lengchan leave through the window, a slight smile on his face.
"Mission: Subdue Zuo Lengchan. Completed. Reward: 300 cultivation points..."
300 cultivation points is not a small amount. If it's an ordinary martial art, it's enough to level up once or even twice.
Subduing Zuo Lengchan would also be helpful for future plans; at the very least, he could help me gather information and prepare some necessary 'tools'.
About half an hour later, a disciple from Mount Song returned, went up to the second floor, and handed a small box to Li Wei, saying respectfully, "This is what the sect leader asked me to give to you, young master. Also, the three fast horses you need are downstairs." After saying this, he bowed and withdrew.
This disciple must be Zuo Lengchan's confidant.
First, he opened the box, inside which was only a small tuft of golden fur. Li Wei picked it up, looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction. Zuo Lengchan was really obedient; the golden fur was made exactly according to his requirements.
Next, this tuft of golden hair would come in handy. After leaving the restaurant, Li Wei and his two companions rode the three fast horses away from the Mount Song area, heading straight west.
More than two months have passed since Li Wei entered the mission world. In these two months, his Li Wei arts skills have made great progress. Next, he needs to complete the necessary Book of Heaven storyline, and more importantly, recruit companions.
Zhang Wuji, who possesses the Nine Yang Divine Skill, is someone Li Wei absolutely must recruit. Moreover, the Nine Yang Divine Skill is also extremely attractive to Li Wei; that tuft of golden hair is the key to getting Zhang Wuji to follow him.
Along the way, Li Wei compared the map on the Black Paper and spent more than seven days before he arrived at the place where Zhang Wuji was.
Leading Duan Yu and Linghu Chong, Li Wei passed through the cave and entered the valley.
Just like in the game, this place was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, like a paradise. From a distance, Li Wei saw several peach trees, each bearing only one large peach.
Upon seeing these Great Flat Peach, Li Wei laughed heartily and ran over to pick them.
There were seven peach trees in total, but only three Great Flat Peach were found. It was likely that other animals in the valley had gotten there first. However, Li Wei was already very satisfied with obtaining three Great Flat Peach.
This Great Flat Peach can increase the maximum value of internal energy in the game, which is very useful. I wonder if it will have the same effect in this mission world.
Upon inspection, Li Wei discovered the attributes of the Great Flat Peach.
"The Great Flat Peach, born from the spiritual energy of the valley, takes ten years to grow into a tree and three years to bear fruit. Those who practice martial arts can enhance their internal strength by consuming it..."
As expected
Li Wei laughed and put away the three Great Flat Peach. He figured he should enjoy this by himself; back in the game, only the protagonist Xu Xiaoxia, could eat these.
Li Wei walked further into the valley and saw a person.
The man was young, dressed in a red and black outfit, and was sitting on a round stone by the stream practicing his breathing exercises. Even from a distance, one could see the air refracting above his head due to the surging heat.
Without a doubt, this person is Zhang Wuji. Only the Nine Yang Divine Skill could produce such a phenomenon during its cultivation.
The conversation with Zhang Wuji went very smoothly. In Li Wei's eyes, Zhang Wuji was an exceptionally simple person. After all, he had grown up in this valley since childhood. After Li Wei took out the tuft of golden hair, Zhang Wuji completely believed that Li Wei had met his godfather and agreed to travel the world with Li Wei.
The golden retriever that Zuo Lengchan had made was for this purpose.
Thus, the Nine Yang Divine Skill smoothly fell into Li Wei's hands.
However, Li Wei did not cultivate it. This kind of internal energy is yang in nature. If he cultivated it, he would be unable to cultivate yin internal energy, which might conflict with his Sunflower Divine Skill. Therefore, he simply memorized it and returned it to Zhang Wuji to continue cultivating.
Just like in the game, Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Skill is only at level 1. It will take some time before he can rely on it to form combat power.
After leaving the valley, Li Wei summoned Black Paper and began studying the map. The closest place to him was the Kongtong Sect, followed by Bright Summit.
Both of these places are places where you can earn cultivation points.
Thinking of the Kongtong Sect, Li Wei suddenly remembered that the Kongtong Sect had a set of boxing techniques that were exceptionally powerful.
This set of boxing techniques is called the 'Seven Injury Fist'. It is a style of boxing that injures the user first, and then injures the opponent. Although it seems to have many flaws, it is actually extremely powerful.
Moreover, given how close it is, even just for the cultivation points, I should still make a trip to the Kongtong Sect.
After glancing at Zhang Wuji, who looked like a fledgling bird, Li Wei led the three of them directly towards the Kongtong Sect. He needed a lot of cultivation points. Li Wei remembered the terrifying power of Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Skill after it reached level 10 in the game.
To obtain the Book of Heaven, Zhang Wuji is undoubtedly a crucial asset. With cultivation points, Zhang Wuji can improve their martial arts levels.
Three days later, Li Wei and his three companions arrived at the foot of the Kongtong Sect's mountain. Given Li Wei's current martial arts skills, he didn't need the Kongtong Sect disciples to announce his arrival. Since Li Wei was there to cause trouble, he fought his way from the foot of the mountain to the summit.
The leader of the Kongtong Sect was Kongtong Five Elders, with Tang Wenliang at the head. His Seven Injury Fist had already reached a considerable level of proficiency.
The Kongtong Five Elders and Li Wei started fighting as soon as they met. Every move of the Kongtong Sect Seven Injury Fist was filled with powerful fist force, which was much more powerful than ordinary fist techniques.
However, these Kongtong Five Elders were not as good as Zuo Lengchan, so in front of Li Wei, the five of them only lasted for more than thirty moves before being knocked to the ground by Li Wei.
After receiving the notification that his cultivation points had increased, Li Wei happily ransacked the entire Kongtong Sect, and the 'Seven Injury Fist Manual' also ended up in Li Wei hands.
