Chapter 80: Flag Sword

The horse's hooves were brisk, running through the streets and alleys.

Ding Zhigang's mansion was actually not far from the government office, only three streets away.

However, Fang Zhixing couldn't go to visit someone empty-handed.

What's more, he still needs Ding Zhigang's help.

"Well, I went to the market first and bought some gifts."

Fang Zhixing rode a tall horse, clattering through the streets.

Although he had no intention of showing off, he gave people a sense of high spirits.

The little dog stuck out its tongue and ran happily behind us, looking quite happy.

I don’t know why, but running like this made him naturally happy.

perhaps……

A dog's happiness is that simple.

After a while, the two of them walked together across a stone bridge and came to a busy street.

Looking around, there are shops and restaurants everywhere, and people are everywhere.

The air is filled with the delicious smell of food.

"Fang Zhixing, there's something delicious!"

The little dog couldn't help but feel refreshed and his saliva started flowing instantly.

Fang Zhixing was speechless and couldn't help but glance at the thin dog.

The dead dog's belly is still very big, obviously it is too full.

However, as soon as the little dog smelled the delicious aroma, he couldn't control himself at all.

After a while, the thin dog wagged its tail and stopped in front of a stall selling meat patties, unable to move.

"In your previous life, you couldn't walk when you saw a beautiful woman. In this life, you have made progress and given up sex!"

Fang Zhixing sneered.

Xigou came back to his senses and laughed awkwardly: "You know shit, this is called only food and love can not be wasted."

Fang Zhixing ignored him and rode on his own.

"Slurp~"

The little dog licked his tongue and hesitated for a moment, but finally his remaining rationality overcame his voracious appetite.

"What's the hurry? Wait for me!"

The thin dog weaved through the crowd and quickly caught up.

Fang Zhixing went shopping along the street, bought some beautiful things, and then returned the same way.

"Fang Zhixing, how about you buy me a meat pie to taste?"

On the way back, the little dog seemed uncontrollably to stop in front of the stall again.

"Hello~"

Fang Zhixing pretended not to hear anything and spurred his horse to speed up.

Sudden!

A burly figure suddenly jumped down from the second floor of the teahouse on the right side of the street.

The little dog's pupils shrank.

The man's muscles bulged all over his body, like an angry giant bear, his right arm raised high, his biceps were abnormally large, and his right hand turned into a fleshy claw, and he pounced towards Fang Zhixing from behind and above him, in a blind spot.

"Be careful!" Xigou was startled and immediately sent a message.

Almost at the same time! "You bastard, I've been waiting for you for a long time, die!"

A loud shout was heard, and the rough voice was filled with unspeakable hatred.

Fang Zhixing turned his head suddenly and glanced sideways to see a shadow looming in the air above his head and a howling wind.

Without thinking, he lifted his body up, jumped up, put his feet on the saddle, and kicked his legs.

"Explosive Skill: Flying on the Grass"

Fang Zhixing made it look like a piece of cake, his body leaped upwards, and at the same time he turned around and finally saw clearly the person who had attacked him.

The other person was wearing a bright red dress and a mask. He was extremely strong, with a broad back and a badly swollen chest.

It was actually a woman! An exceptionally strong woman! The killer move she used was the bear pounce!

One of them swooped down, while the other jumped up, and they missed each other in mid-air.

The mighty masked woman's attack missed and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She seemed not to have expected Fang Zhixing's lightness skills to be so exquisite that her sneak attack was in vain.

The next moment, she raised her hand and threw out a ball of powder, which exploded and quickly spread out.

"It's lime powder again!" Fang Zhixing was speechless.

While the powder was spreading, the strong masked woman turned around and ran, knocking a path through the crowd and escaping.

Fang Zhixing wanted to chase after him.

However, the lime powder caused a riot among pedestrians. People ran around, pushed each other, and created a chaotic mess.

Fang Zhixing's vision was blocked by the lime powder, and with the sudden chaos in the crowd, in the blink of an eye, he lost sight of the majestic masked woman.

"Little dog, go chase him!" Fang Zhixing transmitted the message.

The dog cried out, "What the hell, the lime powder has fallen into my eyes, it's so hot, hurry up and save me!"

Fang Zhixing's face twitched.

Just now, Xigou rushed over hurriedly, wanting to help Fang Zhixing.

But unfortunately, he was hit by the exploding lime powder.

"Sigh~"

Fang Zhixing first led the frightened white horse, then picked up the thin dog and took him quickly to a snack stand.

"Boss, can you lend me some oil?"

Fang Zhixing pinched the corner of his clothes, dipped it in some cooking oil, wiped the dog's eyes, and wiped off the lime powder.

The thin dog heaved a sigh of relief and cried out, "Oh my god, I'm so miserable. I almost went blind."

Fang Zhixing asked: "Do you remember the smell of that woman?"

Xigou was surprised and said, "What, that's a woman?!"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "They should be rebel pirates and accomplices of Guo Dingshan."

The dog was embarrassed and replied, "My nose was choked by the lime powder and I couldn't smell her."

Fang Zhixing curled his lips, his face slightly gloomy, and gritted his teeth and said, "Alas, I am indeed being targeted. Guo Dingshan's accomplices have been waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge on me."

Xigou paused for a moment and smacked his lips, "Damn it, how did the pirates know we were going out today..."

"etc!"

Xigou couldn't help but shudder. He remembered Fang Zhixing saying that there was a spy in the government office! Fang Zhixing obviously realized this and sneered, "It seems that the spy can track my whereabouts anytime and anywhere."

He pondered for a moment and analyzed, "There may be more than one spy. Assuming that a spy is always watching me in the yamen, and he finds out that I have left the yamen, he should not rashly follow me, but notify another person to follow me. The second spy must also be lurking inside the yamen or living near the yamen."

The dog agreed with that and exhaled, "Damn, it's hard to guard against!"

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, without hesitation, picked up the small dog, climbed onto the horse, and rode away.

It was noon.

Fang Zhixing and Xigou finally arrived outside the Ding Mansion, dismounted, tidied their appearance, knocked on the door and entered.

At this moment, Ding Zhigang had just gotten up and was eating breakfast.

"Haha, here comes my brother!"

Ding Zhigang greeted him warmly, but he was actually quite surprised. He didn't expect Fang Zhixing to come to his house.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant, so I brought a gift here to congratulate you, big brother."

As he spoke, the gift was handed over.

"Haha, brother, you are really thoughtful. I really didn't make a mistake about you..."

Ding Zhigang took the gift with a smile, couldn't help but glance at it a few times, and his expression suddenly changed.

There were a lot of gifts, including rouge and powder, some gold and silver jewelry, and 20,000 yuan.

“Glorious!”

Ding Zhigang was shocked. He looked at Fang Zhixing deeply, as if thinking about something. He quickly invited Fang Zhixing to sit inside.

The two chatted enthusiastically for a while.

Fang Zhixing quickly got to the point, touched the large ring knife, and said with a smile: "The knife that my elder brother gave me is very useful, but it's a pity..."

Ding Zhigang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, what problem did you encounter, brother? Tell me quickly."

Fang Zhixing spread his hands and said, "I don't have any sword manual."

Ding Zhigang understood immediately what Fang Zhixing was here for, and laughed, "I happen to have a sword manual in my hand."

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed and said, "Brother, can you lend it to me to have a look?"

Ding Zhigang smiled and said, "Why not?"

Fang Zhixing hesitated and said, "I heard that martial arts are contraband. Without the permission of the aristocratic family, it is forbidden to teach them privately. Brother, lend me the sword manual. Will it cause you any trouble?"

"Won't!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Ding Zhigang waved his hand and smiled, "The aristocratic families did set up such a rule, but generally speaking, the prohibited scope is the martial arts above the Five Animal Realm level.

The sword manual I'm borrowing from you is called "Thirteen Styles of Battle Flag Sword Techniques". It only has two levels of skills. At best, you can only practice it to the level of a great python.

Furthermore, the skills are forbidden to be passed on to outsiders. Brother, you and I are both officials, so do we count as outsiders?"

Fang Zhixing understood and was secretly delighted. He asked curiously, "Brother, what level have you reached in your swordsmanship?"

Ding Zhigang smiled and said, "Before I was thirty, I had always persisted in practicing swordsmanship. Unfortunately, I was not talented enough and my cultivation level stagnated at the late stage of the Great Python Realm. Later, as I got older, it became even more difficult to improve my strength, so I gradually became content with the status quo."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

Ding Zhigang's cultivation level is indeed not at the animal level, if he is not lying.

Not long after, Ding Zhigang brought a sword manual. The cover was yellowed and old, and the footers were still damaged.

Fang Zhixing couldn't wait to open the surgical manual and start reading it.

The thirteen styles of battle flag sword techniques are divided into chopping, chopping, cutting, intercepting, scraping, lifting, stabbing, pulling, splitting, entangling, fanning, blocking and sliding.

After practicing to perfection on the first level, a variety of explosive skills may be awakened.

The more famous explosive skills include "Attending a Meeting with a Single Sword", "Guiding the Way by the Immortal", "Sweeping and Continuous Chop", etc.

When one reaches perfection in the second level of cultivation, there are more explosive skills that can be awakened, which are varied and endless.

[Thirteen Styles of Battle Flag Sword Technique, Level 1, Max Level Conditions: 1. Read the Sword Manual once (Already prepared, have you completed it?)]

"Oh, there is only one condition!" Fang Zhixing was delighted.

Yes, he has already become one with the sword. He can learn even the most basic sword techniques just by watching them once.

"yes!"

In a flash, Fang Zhixing felt a pain in his head.

A large amount of memories and insights from practicing the Thirteen Styles of Battle Flag Sword Technique flooded into his mind like a tide.

A moment later, Fang Zhixing let out a breath, and realized that he had completely mastered the first level of the Thirteen-style Battle Flag Sword Technique and could use it at will.

[Thirteen Styles of Battle Flag Sword Technique, Level 1: Perfection]

[Explosive Skill: Straight to the Point (Lv1)]

[After you lock onto a target and stab it with a knife, you will gain an instant burst of acceleration, allowing your knife to charge forward bravely and penetrate the target's body at twice the original speed]

…

[Thirteen Styles of Battle Flag Sword Technique, Level 2, Full Level Conditions:

1. The first level of cultivation has been completed (completed)

2. Watch others practice the second level swordsmanship 3 times (not completed) 3. Practice swordsmanship with a python realm warrior 2 times (not completed)]

"Great, the second floor's max level requirements are revealed, but..."

Fang Zhixing was very surprised. Condition 2 could be accomplished very easily, but condition 3 was a bit strange.

"Just sparring with someone? Without having to defeat or kill the other person?"

Regardless of this, Fang Zhixing raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Ding, can you show me your sword skills a few times?"

Ding Zhigang smiled and said, "Okay, I just want to stretch my muscles."

He walked into the yard with his sword in hand and started to wield the sword, displaying his sword skills one by one with great passion and passion.

For a moment, the yard was filled with people moving around, dust rising, and the sharp flashes of knives were dizzying, making people's scalps tingle and their hair stand on end.

[2. Watch others practice the second level of swordsmanship 3 times (completed)]

Fang Zhixing's mouth curled up, he was overjoyed, he stood up and said: "Brother Ding, let's have a sparring match for fun."

Ding Zhigang was sweating profusely and said with a smile: "You can play, but the sword has no eyes, brother, you have to be careful."

Fang Zhixing suppressed his strength slightly, raised the large ring knife, and rushed forward, slashing left and right as he got close.

“Well done!”

Ding Zhigang responded calmly, dodging and fighting back.

Fang Zhixing's body movements were quite good, and he used his footwork to tangle with Ding Zhigang. His swordsmanship was also as skillful and neat as flowing water.

"Sure, bro!"

Ding Zhigang was shocked. He instantly concluded that Fang Zhixing's swordsmanship had at least reached the perfection of Guanli realm, which was only higher, not lower.

However, it is still very tender.

Ding Zhigang suddenly exerted force and swung his sword fiercely, wielding the long sword in his hand with great vigor and skill.

Ding Zhigang seized the opportunity and when the blades collided, he knocked the knife out of Fang Zhixing's hand.

“I lost.”

Fang Zhixing sighed softly, feeling a dull pain in his palms, but this result was nothing surprising.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Ding Zhigang is indeed better.

Fang Zhixing immediately showed admiration and said in worship: "Brother, your swordsmanship is extraordinary. I am willing to admit that you are better than me."

"Hahaha, don't be modest, brother."

Ding Zhigang was extremely proud and happy, and said proudly: "If you practice for a few more years, you will definitely surpass me."

Fang Zhixing quickly glanced at the system panel.

[3. Practice swordplay with a warrior from the python realm twice (1/2)]

"I lost, but I still completed a competition."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

In addition, the requirement is to spar with a python realm warrior twice, but there is no rule. Is it okay to spar with only one person, or is it necessary to find two python realm swordsmen to spar with? Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "Brother, let me rest for a while, and then we can practice again."

"Okay, just come on."

Ding Zhigang was also still unsatisfied and became interested, wanting Fang Zhixing to understand how powerful he was.

After a short while, the two men fought again, hacking and slashing at each other with great momentum.

The sound of swords clashing came one after another, and the big tree in the yard was shedding its leaves, almost bald.

As a result, Fang Zhixing was defeated again and his clothes were torn in several ways.

"Brother, are you convinced?"

Ding Zhigang was so proud that he was beaming with joy.

He showed mercy just now, otherwise he would have killed Fang Zhixing several times.

"Brother, you are awesome!"

Fang Zhixing was generous with his praise and kept praising him highly.

But in fact, his attention was always focused on the scenery before his eyes.

[3. Discuss swordsmanship with a warrior from the python realm twice (completed)]

[Thirteen Styles of Battle Flag Swordsmanship, Level 2, the conditions required for reaching the maximum level have been met. Do you want to upgrade? ]

At this moment, Fang Zhixing's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy.

"It's so easy!"
