Volume Two—Seven Sons Chapter 168 The Tragedy of an Old Friend
Nick was hit by a nearly full-force punch from [Al], and he suddenly felt as if his protection was being hit by a hammer.
Although he did not completely lose his combat effectiveness, he was unable to fight back for a while.
At the same time, Ye Fan also stopped the fighting.
Then he said to Nick: "Level does not mean everything. Just like you, although you are a high-level swordsman, you can't even defeat a junior swordsman. Is he too strong? No, you are too weak.
"
"..." Nick was speechless.
[Al] also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, some students who did not want to see their teacher humiliated also stood up, and they decided to join forces to teach [Al] a lesson.
Seeing a dozen teenagers surrounding him, [Al] smiled: "You also want to join the battle?"
"We don't allow anyone to bully our teacher. Although you are very strong, after Teacher He's battle, your fighting spirit should be almost exhausted. If we fight together, you are no match at all."
Hearing these words, [Al] nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, if we only look at fighting spirit, with so many of you here, I really am no match for you."
Then [Al] changed the topic: "But who told you that I am only a swordsman? In addition to being a junior swordsman, I am also a high-level magician. Otherwise, why do you think we dare to challenge you?"
Nico, who had regained his composure at this time, asked his students to leave quickly because he did not want his students to get hurt.
Ye Fan said: "As a noble, you are already pretty good. It's a pity that you care too much about their safety. If you are willing to let them go through more hardships, I believe they will become stronger and more capable."
Motivation becomes stronger.”
Nick was speechless.
After that, Ye Fan and [Al] left here.
However, he did not leave the royal capital, but continued to challenge the martial arts schools in the royal capital.
No one would have thought that a martial arts school like theirs would one day be challenged.
But since someone came to the door, they still cooperated to challenge.
After that, the battle in [El] started to become troublesome.
Because not everyone is like Nick, who obviously has the strength of a high-level swordsman, but has never participated in any battle.
Do most martial arts schools pay attention to those who have participated in combat?
Facing that kind of swordsman who has participated in serious battles, [El] does not have the same advantage as before, and cannot even defeat an apprentice in a martial arts school.
Even if the opponent is only a junior swordsman.
Both Ye Fan and [Al] felt a little sorry for this, but at the same time it highlighted Nick's weakness.
You see, even a high-level swordsman can't beat him, but we don't care, we are just junior swordsmen, so we can defeat him, and it will be clear who is weak and who is strong.
This junior swordsman's combat effectiveness is not as strong as expected, and the opponent's fighting spirit is not much higher than his own.
But Ye Fan said before that even among true qi, there are few that are more aggressive than fighting spirit.
In addition, the opponent is holding a sharp weapon, while [El] is bare-handed, so he has more worries during the battle.
[Al], who was defeated in the battle with his peers, stopped challenging and began to learn boxing skills, trying to combine the strengths of thousands of families, and then develop his own boxing skills.
But how could advanced boxing skills come into his hands so easily? Learning ordinary boxing skills is of no use.
So after practicing boxing for a few days, [Al] felt that his progress was not making much progress, so he started practicing punching again.
————
A week later, Ye Fan stepped on a bandit and said to [Al]: "You are no good. Even if you face these parallel imports, your combat effectiveness is not very good."
"Here, let me show you my swordsmanship."
While talking, Ye Fan pulled out an iron sword on the ground.
The next moment, [Al] looked at Ye Fan and felt like he was facing the whole world.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Fan swung his sword and slashed at [Al].
But at the critical moment, he stopped the sword in his hand.
Then he said to [Al]: "This is the Tao, how much do you understand?"
[Al] shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand anything.
Ye Fan continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you have some experience, right?"
"Um..." [Al] didn't know what to say to the other party.
It can't be said that he was too shocked just now and then became scared again, right?
Ye Fan continued: "There are no two identical leaves in this world, and there are no two identical Tao."
"But the question is, why are so many people able to possess swordsmanship?"
Facing Ye Fan's inquiry, [Al] began to think.
Looking at [Al] who was thinking, Ye Fan shook his head and said: "Forget it, since you can't understand, then just stop here."
[Al] opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. After all, he really didn't feel anything from Mark's action just now?
Of course, I still have some feelings, for example: Ye Fan is so powerful, did he really want to chop me with a sword just now?
But he just thought about it and didn't say it directly.
That night, [Al] stood aside and punched wildly.
Ye Fan stood aside and looked at the map in front of him.
[Al] didn't understand at all. They just wiped out a group of bandits and actually found a map of the human kingdom in their lair.
This map is very detailed, even strategic fortresses like Bragus are on the map.
When I first saw this map, [Al] wanted to complain.
However, Ye Fan began to teach [Al] a lesson: "Look at them, they are just a group of mediocre bandits, but even so, they still have the ambition to compete in the world. What is this? This is completely a strategic map.
"
[Al] complained: "This thing is useless to me."
Ye Fan retorted: "You can't say that. How can you say it is useless? At least there is no need to spend money to buy it in the future."
"..."
The next day [Al] just woke up and saw Ye Fan lying on the map.
Sensing [Al]'s gaze, Mark said to him: "I found a good place, come and take a look with me."
【Al】Although he didn't realize it, he still walked to the map.
I saw Ye Fan draw a circle next to Bragus.
[Al] asked in confusion: "What's the point of drawing this circle?"
"I want to build a sect here. I studied the surrounding environment and finally decided to build it here. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is surrounded by continuous mountains. Even if you build weapons, you will not be able to build it here.
Lack of materials.”
[Al] admired Ye Fan's heroic ambition very much, but when he first looked at it, the place circled by Ye Fan was behind the lava volcano above the Shiwan Mountain.
He subconsciously asked Ye Fan: "Do you know where this place is? The entire dwarf race living here, let alone the two of us, even king-level existences cannot occupy the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"Since you said that even kings cannot occupy the Hundred Thousand Mountains, then I would like to ask you, how did the dwarves conquer it?"
"..." [Al] was immediately speechless. Yes, how did the dwarves occupy the Hundred Thousand Mountains?
Seeing that [Al] was speechless, Ye Fan said to [Al]: "As long as you are strong enough, nothing is impossible. The reason why you said this is just because
You are not strong enough."
Then Ye Fan said: "I have decided, we will go directly to Shiwanda Mountain."
While walking on the road, [Al] asked the doubt in his heart: "To what extent has your strength recovered now?"
Ye Fan replied: "Cultivation is a gradual process, and I just have more experience than you. One year is still too short after all. My true energy has only recovered to that of a high-level swordsman here.
level."
Ye Fan's words stopped abruptly here, because he was afraid that he would shock [Al] by telling the whole truth.
Although Ye Fan's true energy has not recovered, he believes that his fighting power is fully capable of defeating ten great swordsmen.
But he would not say such shocking words.
After that, they moved forward all the way. Apart from encountering some bandits, they encountered no other dangers. Even the bandits were not a danger to them.
After two months of long journey, they finally arrived at the Gangli Empire. Yes, it was the Gangli Empire where the Seven Sons Alliance was located.
[Al] said to Ye Fan: "I once formed a small mercenary group here. I wonder if it is still there now?"
After hearing this, Ye Fan said that [Al] had no future: "What kind of organization can you build? You should follow me to form the Huangtian Sect."
"After all, I founded that mercenary group myself, and I don't want it to be destroyed."
"Then I will accompany you to have a look." Ye Fan refused [Al] without a single word.
Since [El] was arrested, the Seven Sons Alliance has also been severely suppressed.
However, since he has not appeared for a long time, and the person in charge of the Seven Sons Alliance has never been [Al].
So after monitoring the Seven Sons Alliance for a year, restrictions were relaxed here.
However, after that year of suppression, the Seven Sons Alliance has long been torn apart.
Now, except for some old, weak, women and children, and Rouse, there are no other extraordinary people left in the whole village, and they have all left here.
Even some surrounding villages that have grown stronger because of the Seven Sons Alliance have been bullying the Seven Sons Alliance during this period.
Entering the village where the Seven Sons Alliance is located, [Al] felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
Looking at the dilapidated houses and ragged villagers, [Al] could not help clenching his fists.
And his suppressed anger was finally completely suppressed after meeting an old man in the village.
This old man was clearly Rouse, the core figure of the Seven Sons Alliance.
Unexpectedly, in just one year, he turned from a high-spirited middle-aged man to this.
You must know that even if his realm fell at the beginning, he did not become like this.
Feeling [Al]'s anger, Ye Fan glanced at Rouse, and then said: "He is considered useless."
[Al] turned his head and glared at Ye Fan fiercely.
Seeing [Al] glaring at him, Mark continued: "Why are you glaring at me? Even if you glare at me, he is useless."
[Al] After controlling his mood, he squatted down and asked Rouse: "What happened here? Why is it completely different from when I came here before?"
Rouse's eyes were cloudy, and he was telling everything about the Seven Sons Alliance as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
"About a year and a half ago, a group of high-level swordsmen broke into the village. They checked every villager without explanation. I went to stop them, but they beat me like this. Others saw that they were not easy to mess with, so they also chose to swallow their anger.
.
But these people did not leave because of this, but stayed in the village to cause destruction everywhere.
Some villagers who couldn't stand the destruction chose to leave, and some wanted to resist, but were beaten to death by them.
After that, we were completely disconnected from other villages, and then it ended like this."
After listening to Rouse's story, [Al] asked him: "What are you doing here?"
There was a trace of tears in Rouse's eyes: "I heard that our leader is a big shot in other countries, so I hope he can come back to help us, or at least help the villagers."
[Al] felt the warmth of the world for the first time, and then he said to Rouse: "Your alliance leader is really nothing."
Without waiting for Rouse to retort, [Al] continued: "Everything you are suffering now is because of him. If it weren't for him offending people who can't afford to offend, you wouldn't be like this."
Rouse turned to look at [Al]: "You may be familiar with our leader, can you give him a message?"
"Please say!"
"I know he has tried his best, and I hope he will not forget his original intention." Rouse said seriously.
[Al] After hearing what he said, his eyes gradually became moist.
