Hidden Blade-Chapter 4 Azure-clothed Purple-robed Jusen

After that day.

Xu Han and Liu Sheng , who had reached a consensus, began to actively snatch food. For this reason, they even recruited the three boys who had lost their leaders, and their waist became the biggest force among the boys.

The other two groups knew that they were unable to contend against each other, so they formed an organic whole and tried to resist Xu Han and Liu Sheng .

However, Liu Sheng , who had eaten and drank to his heart's content, showed a viciousness that was different from that of ordinary people.

The next night, while snatching food, he bit off a boy's ear. Since then, no one dared to provoke Xu Han and Liu Sheng .

The daily meals were respectfully delivered by someone, and the two of them were completely devoted to the cultivation of that fist technique.

Gradually, they discovered that as their fists and feet progressed, their bodies grew stronger day by day. Even though they hadn't come into contact with any training related to cultivation before this, Xu Han and Liu Sheng were aware that this rate of improvement was extremely abnormal.

However, this also made their previous speculation even more firm.

This continued until three months later.

That day, Lu Daniu suddenly summoned Xu Han and Liu Sheng to the side of a man dressed in green and told them that the man was called Yuan Xiucheng, the Throne Master of Shangyun City. He told them to follow him

…

Just like that, before the two of them could figure out the situation, they walked out of the dark room under the lead of the green-clothed man. Everything happened so suddenly that the gates of the gambling hall were pushed open. The crowds of people walking up and down the streets of Upper Cloud City, as well as the bright spring sun, were still in a daze when they saw it.

"Get in the car." The green-clothed man did not give the two of them much time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. He turned to look at the two of them and said indifferently.

Even Lu Daniu had to carefully serve the green-clothed man. Naturally, it was not something Xu Han and Liu Sheng could disobey. No matter how reluctant they were to part with this scene in their hearts, in the next moment, they obediently boarded the carriage that had been waiting for them at the entrance.

After Yuan Xiucheng, the green-clothed man also boarded the carriage.

The carriage drove forward and quickly left Shangyun City, heading towards an unknown destination.

After the initial excitement passed, Xu Han and Liu Sheng gradually became somewhat uneasy. However, Lord Yuan Xiucheng sat by the side and closed his eyes to rest. He did not have the slightest intention of speaking.

Xu Han and Liu Sheng exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat solemn.

After bumping about in the carriage for four or five hours, the sky gradually darkened.

The uneasiness in Xu Han and Liu Sheng 's hearts also grew.

"Ask, what do you want to know?" Although Yuan Xiucheng closed his eyes, he seemed to know the situation of the two of them like the back of his hand. His cold voice was the first to break the silence in the carriage.

Hearing this, the two of them were shocked. They looked at each other once again. Obviously, they were extremely shocked by the ability that Yuan Xiucheng had displayed.

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Han finally mustered up his courage and looked at Yuan Xiucheng, who was closing his eyes, and asked, "What exactly do you want us to do?"

"Fifteen taels of silver has bought your lives for five years. Naturally, I will use your lives to earn this silver back." Yuan Xiucheng still closed his eyes.

"Then why do people keep dying in the dark room? Is it the food…" Xu Han asked.

After eating the food, demonic energy will be emitted from your body. If it is supplemented by the fists and feet we have taught you, you can absorb it into your internal organs and strengthen your body. However, if you are slacking off … Yuan Xiucheng did not wait for Xu Han to finish his question and guessed what he wanted to say next. He immediately replied.

Hearing this, the two of them were stunned again. This was unexpectedly consistent with their previous speculations. After glancing at each other, they were somewhat afraid. According to Yuan Xiucheng, even if they ate as little as possible as Liu Sheng did before, they would still inevitably end up being harmed by the so-called demonic power. Fortunately, they chose the right path.

"Then what's next?" Xu Han hurriedly asked again.

Yuan Xiucheng's eyes suddenly opened at that time, and the corner of his mouth suddenly drew a smile.

"Next is the final test." As soon as Yuan Xiucheng finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Throne Master Yuan, you're really a little slow." At this moment, a voice came from outside the carriage, with a hint of mockery in its voice.

The mockery was almost undisguised, and even Xu Han could hear it clearly.

However, Yuan Xiucheng did not seem to have heard of this, and his expression was still indifferent.

"Let's get out of the car." He said softly.

Xu Han and Liu Sheng did not dare to go against it and hurriedly followed Yuan Xiucheng down the carriage.

The two of them were naturally uneasy, and when they got out of the carriage and saw the situation before them, they couldn't help but be stunned.

The carriage had been traveling for several hours, and the sky had already darkened. At this moment, they were in front of a dense forest.

The forest was extremely dark, shrouded in smoke, emitting a strange aura in the twilight. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Several men and women dressed like Yuan Xiu were already standing there. Behind them, without exception, were a few children the size of Xu Han or Liu Sheng .

Judging from the looks on their faces, they must have encountered something similar to Xu Han before. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"Throne Master Yuan has kept us waiting."

Under Yuan Xiucheng's leadership, the two of them followed him to the front of the crowd. At this moment, a middle-aged man leading five children walked forward and cupped his hands towards Yuan Xiucheng.

Even Xu Han and Liu Sheng , who were still young, could tell that he had come with ill intentions.

However, Yuan Xiucheng treated this as if nothing had happened. Instead of answering him, he led the two of them forward and walked to the back of the crowd. There were two purple-clothed men quietly sitting cross-legged on the spot.

"Yuan Xiucheng greets the two emissaries." Yuan Xiucheng, who had always been cold, showed enough respect to the two purple-clothed men. He cupped his hands and said to them.

"Yes, I'm here." The two purple-clothed men raised their heads at that time. Only then did Xu Han see clearly that the two purple-clothed men were wearing a bronze mask on their heads.

One was an ox head with fiendish eyes, and the other was a horse face with a gloomy expression.

The dense night, the desolate mountain top, and the strange masks of these two people caused Xu Han's heart to go cold. He subconsciously looked at Liu Sheng beside him, only to see that his face was also pale at this moment. Obviously, he was also filled with fear.

"Then let's begin." The purple-clothed man looked at each other and said.

Their voices weren't loud, but as soon as they finished speaking, the azure-clothed people in twos and threes kept their voices and respectfully led the children behind them to surround them.

"The two of us are envoys under the Throne of Mount Tai. The miasma behind us is the Gu Forest, where the eliminators buried their bones. They were nourished by miasma in the Gu Forest and turned into demon corpses. All you have to do is obtain ten heads before you can leave the Gu Forest or die."

It was as if they were responding to what the two of them said. After they finished speaking, a low roar that looked like a human or a beast suddenly came from the dense forest. It made Xu Han's hair go numb, and his gaze towards the dense forest became even more frightened. It was as if the dense forest in front of him was a human purgatory that was ferocious and terrifying.

"You don't have much time. You only have fifteen days. Once you exceed this time, you will definitely be infected by the demonic energy that permeates the Gu Forest. The demonic energy in your bodies will turn into demonic corpses. Therefore, avoiding is not a good method. If you want to survive, you must learn to take the initiative to attack!"

The ox-headed horse's stern voice sounded once again, and it was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Your Excellency, may I ask you a question?" Just as all the children were stunned by this sudden scene, a tender voice suddenly rang out.

At that time, Xu Han subconsciously turned his head to look. Not far away, a tall boy stopped in the crowd and looked at the bull-headed horse.

"Huh?" The two purple-clothed men obviously didn't expect this either. They hesitated slightly, but they didn't have the intention to blame him. "Ask."

"Since it's a head, then do we count as ours?" The boy asked a question that changed the expressions of everyone present, but at that moment a cruel expression appeared on his face that did not belong to his age.

"Good question." The bull's head and horse paused for a moment before replying with their gloomy voices.

"Since it's the head, it naturally counts."
