Chapter 829 Going Down the Mountain

There is no calendar in the mountains, and the year is unknown when the cold ends.

Nine years have passed in a blink of an eye. Qin Hao is now sixteen years old, having grown from a seven-year-old child to a handsome young man.

During these nine years, Ye Liuyun taught him everything he had learned throughout his life. In addition, due to the unique geographical environment of Wufeng Mountain, Qin Hao successfully advanced to the ninth rank a year ago.

Based on the energy density of Wufeng Mountain, Qin Hao speculated that this place was likely one of the sites of the nuclear explosion, which was the main reason why Ye Liuyun chose to live in seclusion here.

Of course, Qin Hao did not stay in Wufeng Mountain all the time during these nine years. As a grandmaster, Ye Liuyun naturally understood that it was not appropriate to work behind closed doors.

After Qin Hao was promoted to the eighth rank warrior in the third year after he came to Wufeng Mountain, he would spend half a year every year to take him to travel around the world.

Five years ago, Ye Liuyun brought Qin Hao to Dongyi City to challenge Yun Zhilan, the first disciple of Si Gu Jian, who was already a ninth rank master at that time.

At that time, everyone in Dongyi City believed that Yun Zhilan would win, and some even offered Qin Hao an extremely high odds of one out of eight, but few people bet on Qin Hao to win.

It was not until the last day that a mysterious person bet Qin Hao 1,000 taels of gold, and the odds were raised.

Just when everyone thought that this mysterious person was crazy.

In the battle of Jianlu in Dongyi City, Qin Hao faced Yun Zhilan's four-view swordsmanship with his bare hands, but the result was shocking.

The two sides fought for thirty rounds, and finally Qin Hao relied on the domineering true qi combined with the dragon-shaped collapse fist of Xingyiquan to knock down the long sword in Yun Zhilan's hand.

After the defeat, Yun Zhilan made a vow that he would never step out of Jianlu again in his life unless he entered the ninth grade.

After this battle, Qin Hao's name was also spread all over the world. His record of defeating the ninth grade with the eighth grade was unprecedented, and he was also given the title of the first in the eighth grade by those who were interested.

Some people were even sure that if Qin Hao was promoted to the ninth grade, he would definitely be the first in the ninth grade in combat power, and invincible under the grandmaster.

However, after this battle, Qin Hao followed Ye Liuyun back to Wufeng Mountain to continue his training, and his trace was lost in the world for a short time.

Until four years ago, Ye Liuyun took Qin Hao to Beiqi to meet the Grandmaster Ku He.

Ku He's eldest disciple Lang Tao took the initiative to challenge Qin Hao.

Although there were no outsiders watching the battle at that time, Lang Tao never appeared in the eyes of outsiders again.

According to outside speculation, Lang Tao was also defeated by Qin Hao in this battle, and since then he has been practicing diligently beside Ku He.

In fact, in the battle that day, Lang Tao was knocked out of his chain axe before he could even catch Qin Hao's ten moves. It's not that he is not as good as Yun Zhilan, but Qin Hao has made great progress compared to a year ago.

Faced with the terrifying potential shown by Qin Hao, Beiqi originally planned to let Ku He keep Qin Hao, but Ku He knew that he was not sure to beat Ye Liuyun, and his proud disciple Lang Tao didn't even last ten moves in Qin Hao's hands, so he persuaded the Queen Mother of Beiqi to give up this idea.

After this battle, Qin Hao disappeared from the outside world again.

Until three years ago, the Goshawk tribe, one of the three major tribes of the barbarians, invaded in a big way, burning, killing and looting along the way. A young man suddenly appeared. He first killed 500 pioneers of the Goshawk tribe alone, and then killed all the way to the Goshawk tribe's marching tent. Among the thousands of troops, he killed the Goshawk tribe's chieftain Yesutemur overnight.

Buried with the chieftain were the Goshawk tribe's most elite 1,000 Goshawk knights.

So far, the Goshawk tribe has fallen from one of the three major tribes of the barbarians to a small tribe that can only rely on the barbarians' Zuo Xianwang.

According to the news from some barbarian vendors who came to Dongyi City to sell horses, the young man who rushed into the Goshawk tribe's tent and killed the chieftain was dressed in green, only 13 or 14 years old, without any weapons in his hands, and killed the Goshawk tribe with just a pair of flesh palms.

The outside world unanimously believed that there was only one person who met all the above conditions, and that was Qin Hao.

However, what puzzled everyone was that from then on, Qin Hao never appeared in the public's sight again. Occasionally, someone would show off in the martial arts world wearing a green robe, but in the end, they were all confirmed to be impostors. The reason why these people were confirmed to be impostors was very simple. The martial arts world said that Qin Hao was the best in the eighth-grade combat power, so naturally there were people who wanted to compete with him.

These people were all eighth-grade masters, and even ninth-grade masters had fought. If these people who deceived the world and stole the name really had the strength, why would they pretend to be? At the least, they would be severely punished, and at the worst, they would die on the spot.

From then on, impersonating Qin Hao became a high-risk profession, and no one in the martial arts world dared to do so.

And the reason why Qin Hao did not appear again in the past three years was also very simple. Three years ago, he had reached the peak of the eighth grade and was only one step away from the ninth grade.

Although he had domineering true energy and Ye Liuyun's guidance, he was still young and lacked foundation. The barrier of advancing to the ninth grade took Qin Hao two years.

It was not until a year ago that Qin Hao successfully broke through on a thunderstorm night and became a ninth-grade warrior.

After advancing to the ninth grade, the first thing Qin Hao did was to challenge Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was also very clear about the strength of his apprentice and did not show mercy as usual.

So, Ye Liuyun, who was firing at full power, also made Qin Hao understand why the Grandmaster was called a "human nuclear weapon". This thing is not the same concept as the ninth grade at all.

If Qin Hao, who was promoted to the ninth grade, can reach a combat power of 6,000, then Ye Liuyun's combat power is at least more than 100,000, and the true energy that can be mobilized is not in the same order of magnitude.

This was despite Ye Liuyun's mercy. Qin Hao couldn't even imagine what kind of horrific scene it would be if the Grand Master killed him.

However, Qin Hao was not discouraged. Others might choose to go around high mountains, but he insisted on climbing to the top.

Therefore, in the next year, Qin Hao repeatedly challenged Ye Liuyun, injured, recovered, and challenged again.

During this period of time, although Qin Hao's Qi cultivation did not increase much and he was still on the ninth level for the first time, his combat effectiveness has improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, through the battle with Ye Liuyun, he has also gained a better understanding of the Grand Master than anyone else in the world. understanding.

Originally, Qin Hao did not plan to go down the mountain so soon. Until three days ago, Ye Liuyun received a secret letter and then kicked Qin Hao down the mountain. Yes, he kicked him down the mountain literally. Fortunately, Qin Hao was kicked down the mountain at this time. He is already a ninth-level warrior. Otherwise, he might have turned into mince if he fell.

"You brat, I have nothing more to teach you. Just go down the mountain by yourself."

"Hey, master, why don't you let me pack my luggage?"

"It's just a few rags. Go to Dongyi City and buy them yourself."

Qin Hao gathered his true energy with his right hand and gently grasped the cliff. The hard rock was inserted into the rock like tofu with his fingers. After stabilizing his body, Qin Hao heard the sound coming from the top of the mountain and adjusted his body shape helplessly. Jump down.

The wind was blowing fast, the wind was whistling past his ears, and the goshawk was looming in the clouds. Qin Hao felt unprecedentedly happy and couldn't help but let out a long roar.

In an instant, the entire valley seemed to be shaking. With this voice, the thunderous sound of tigers and leopards and the amplification of domineering Qi, the monkeys foraging for food in the woods among the cliffs fell one after another as if they had been hit with a sap, and some left. The approaching birds also fell off the cliff like raindrops.

"You brat, your skills have improved again. I'm afraid you're only a hair away from reaching the ninth level, right?"

"Hey, you kid, please don't get lost in the struggle for secular imperial power."

"I don't know what your Majesty is thinking about it. If you give this guy another twenty years, Nanqing will definitely have another great master. Then what will Northern Qi and Dongyi City do to resist?"

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Danzhou, Fan Xian finally waited for the red-armored knight to appear.

However, not long after the red-armored knight arrived in Danzhou, he was assassinated. Although he used poison to restrain his assassin Teng Zijing, he was also shrouded in a bigger mystery. Who could forge the inspection agency? secret order.

In order to find out the truth and find out the past of his mother Ye Qingmei, Fan Xian decided to go to the capital.

On the other side, Qin Hao went straight to Dongyi City after coming down the mountain. This time he didn't want to be in such a mess as when he came here. He had to get a horse anyway. It was too shameful for a ninth-grade master to walk on two legs. .

However, Qin Hao was penniless now and was too embarrassed to steal, so he randomly found a casino and walked in.

"Come on~~~ It's time to buy it and leave it."

"Place your bets."

Qin Hao walked up to a gambling table where dice was rolled. Seeing Qin Hao's majestic appearance and young age, the croupier of the casino decided that he was a fat sheep and invited him warmly.

"This young master, are you going to play a few tricks?"

Qin Hao said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I would like to play, but it's a pity that I don't have any money."

"Haha, Young Master is really good at joking."

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

The dealer said with a smile: "If you forget to bring the money, you can go home and get it again."

"I heard that casinos can lend money, isn't it possible here?"

"Young master, if you want to borrow money, you have to take something as collateral, right? Otherwise, if you lose and refuse to admit it, who will we turn to to collect the debt?"

Qin Hao slowly put his hand on the gaming table.

"How much do you think my hand is worth?"

The croupier's face changed when he heard this: "Young master, are you sincerely here to ruin the situation?"

"What? Can't your casino be good at using it as collateral?"

Just when the dealer was in a dilemma, a gentle female voice came from behind.

"Casinos are open for business. No matter what gamblers want to bet on, we will be with them until the end."

A woman wearing a veil walked to the gaming table, dismissed the croupier, and sat down in front of Qin Hao.

"Then how much is my hand worth?"

The woman chuckled a few times: "The hand of a ninth-grade master is worth five hundred taels. What do you think of this young master?"

The gamblers around him looked at him with suspicion after hearing this.

"Ninth-grade master? This kid doesn't even look twenty years old, right?"

"Is there really such a young ninth-grade master in this world? I'm afraid I'm mistaken?"

Qin Hao turned a deaf ear to the comments of the gamblers around him and looked around the veiled woman to the room behind her.

"It seems that your casino has a lot of background."

The veiled woman smiled and said: "So, sir, do you still want to gamble?"

"Bet, the price you gave is quite reasonable." Qin Hao casually sat down opposite the woman.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding gamblers rushed towards the gambling table. They could gamble at any time, but when watching the ninth-grade masters gamble, the stakes were still with one hand. This was probably the only time in their lives.

Soon, gamblers surrounded the gambling table with three layers inside and three layers outside.

The veiled woman smiled calmly at Qin Hao and said, "What is this young master planning to bet on?"

"Roll the dice, this is the easiest."

After Qin Hao finished speaking, the veiled woman said hello and was about to grab the dice, but she heard Qin Hao shout: Slow down.

"I would like to ask, if I lose but don't want to chop off this hand, are you sure you can keep me?"

The veiled woman was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Si Hai Casino has been opened in Dongyi City for so many years, and there is no precedent of successful defaulting on debts except for the Grand Master."

"So confident?"

"Sir, are you going to gamble again?"

Qin Hao made a light gesture.

The veiled woman's smile faded: "Sir, are you going to gamble big or small?"

"Small."

"Okay."

As soon as the voice fell, the veiled woman had already picked up the dice cup and put three dice into it. After shaking it for a while, she slapped it on the gambling table, and then slowly opened it in the shocked eyes of the surrounding gamblers.

"One pillar supporting the sky, but there is only one point."

"This young man is sure to lose. Even if he shakes out one point, it will not be bigger than the dealer."

However, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Qin Hao also picked up the dice cup, just shook it lightly, and put it on the gambling table.

I saw Qin Hao open the dice cup, and the three dice inside were all shaken into powder.

The surrounding gamblers were stunned, and even the veiled woman was dumbfounded.

"Can you do this?"

"This is too bad?"

"A ninth-rank master can't cheat, right? What's the matter with shattering the dice?"

Qin Hao smiled and said to the veiled woman: "Not at all, I win this time, right?"

The veiled woman said helplessly: "Young master, you are better, I admit defeat."

As she spoke, she took out a silver note of five hundred taels and handed it to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao took the silver note and nodded with satisfaction: "Then I won't be polite."

After that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

The veiled woman suddenly called Qin Hao: "Young master, don't you plan to give me a chance to save face?"

"No, my master has taught me since I was a child that people should be incompatible with gambling and drugs. If I didn't have no money to travel, I would never touch gambling." After Qin Hao finished speaking, he pointed his toes, did a backflip, and flew over the crowd watching behind the gambling table like a flexible big bird, and left gracefully.

Looking at Qin Hao's back, the veiled woman clenched her fists, then stood up and went to the room behind the casino.

"Miss, I deserve to die for ruining your good deeds."

In the room, a woman in black with a veil on her face just smiled indifferently.

"You can't be blamed for this. Who would have thought that a dignified ninth-grade master would be so shameless and bully a weak woman who has no true energy at all."

However, the next second, a low shout came from the shadow of the room.

"Who!"

Then an axe shot towards the window, and the window exploded from the middle in an instant.

A figure grabbed the axe, and an invisible air wave shook the room.

"In addition to Yun Zhilan, the disciple of Si Gu Jian, Dongyi City actually has a master like you. Tell me your name."

Qin Hao threw the axe to the other party: "Who are you?"

"Haitang Duoduo."
