Chapter 47: 423
One stroke!
When Henry heard Wade White's words,
he felt it was incredible. He knew Wade's
skills. Even Henry himself couldn't hurt
Wade with a single stroke.
Henry put down the gardening tool in his
hand.
"Take me there!"
Wade nodded and drove to the cemetery
with Henry.
The cemetery that Wade was going to was
a historical site, which had a history of
nearly eight hundred years. There were
some herdsmen living around the
cemetery.
Before, there was a reporter who
interviewed herdsmen and asked them
why they settled down around the
cemetery to graze. The answers of
herdsmen made the reporters a little
unbelievable at that time.
Herdsmen said that since this cemetery
existed, it was a wasteland. Any area that
belonged to the cemetery was barren and
no birds would fly around. After stepping
out of the range of the cemetery, the land
was fertile and the grass was green.
When the report came out, many people
didn't believe it and came here to
investigate. As the herdsmen said, there
was really no herbs in the area of the
cemetery, not even grass.
At that time, a special person caught two
birds and put them on this land. However,
before the birds landed on the ground,
they jumped up crazily, as if there was
something horrible on the ground. This
matter had aroused the curiosity of many
people, but up to now, no one could tell
the reason.
This cemetery was not very far from
Yinzhou. The distance was a bit over 50
kilometres. It took half an hour to get
there.
This cemetery was regarded as a scenic
area. Every year, countless people wanted
to explore its magic.
There were indeed many herdsmen around
the cemetery. There was a fenced yard
surrounding their houses.
"Where did you meet that person?" Henry
glanced around.
"There." Wade pointed out.
Henry looked in the direction that the
Wade pointed out. It was not the
surrounding fenced yard, but a very
ordinary thatched hut. In front of the hut
sat an old man with grey hair and thin skin
and bones, enjoying the sunshine.
"Boss, it's him. When I came here, he was
practising with the sword. I was curious, so
I went over and took a look, only to find
that he only made one move." When Wade
said this, there was no anger or shame on
his face, but all kinds of praise. Obviously,
the old man's strength had completely
convinced Wade.
Henry walked over and saw an iron sword
standing next to the thatched hut. The
sword was covered with rust.
Now, most people practice with swords
only because they like to pursue a type of
beauty. In reality, it was more practical to
use the fists than the sword.
The old man, who was closing his eyes to
rest, heard the sound of footsteps. He
slowly opened his eyes. When he saw
Wade White, the old man slowly got up
from the stool. He was hunchbacked and
moved slowly. It was hard to believe that
he could hurt Wade with a sword just by
looking at is appearance.
With an apologetic face, the old man said
to Wade, "Young man, I'm really sorry for
what happened. I didn't pay attention to
my surroundings."
"It's okay, it's okay." Wade waved his hand
and said, "Sir, this is my elder brother.
After he heard about your swordsmanship,
he wanted to have a look."
The old man waved his hand and laughed
at himself. "My swordsmanship is nothing.
It's just a game I like to play."
"Sir, you couldn't easily hurt my friend if
you were just playing." Henry noticed that
the sword beside the hut was a blunt
sword. Its blade was not sharp, but the
wound on Wade's arm was obviously made
by something sharp. This made Henry
immediately think of it as... Qi!
Wade said, "Sir, my elder brother likes to
practice martial arts very much and also
likes to study this field. Why don't you fight
with my elder brother for a while?"
The old man chuckled. "I didn't expect that
there are still young people who love to
practice martial arts at this time. Well, I'm
usually lonely, and it's rare for young
people to take the initiative to look for me.
I'm not good at using that sword, and I
can't control my strength. I don't want to
hurt you, so l use this."
As the old man spoke, he pulled out a
straw from the hut next to him.
The old man's action was very slow. Henry
could see that the old man was old and his
Qi and blood were insufficient. It was
difficult for his body to exert strength. He
was really curious about how the old man
had hurt Wade with a sword.
"Sir, my elder brother is much stronger
than me. You'd better use your sword. You
can't hurt him." Wade reminded him.
"No." The old man chuckled. "We don't
fight, so there's no need to use weapons.
Let's focus on communication."
After the old man finished, he looked at
Henry and continued, "Young man, are you
ready?"
"Sir, please give me some instructions."
Henry, who was very traditional, gave a
fist-palm salute and stared at the old
man's wrist.
At this moment, the distance between
them was less than two meters.
"Okay." The old man nodded. "Attention,
I'm coming!"
When the words finished, the old man
raised his hand, held a straw, and stabbed
at Henry.
At the moment when the old man attacked,
Henry's pupils contracted. At this moment,
he had a feeling that he couldn't dodge.
The straw in the old man's hand seemed to
turn into a wizard weapon, which could
destroy everything. Even at this moment,
Henry could see an obvious airflow,
separated from the straw. The originally
soft straw broke through the resistance
between the air easily at this moment.
Just as the straw was about to stab Henry,
he moved his foot with difficulty and
stepped back half a step. Just this half a
step, Henry seemed to have used all his
strength and could no longer dodge.
In the end, the top of the straw was only
half a fist away from Henry's chest.
The old man's hands stopped moving.
Henry let out a long sigh of relief. He had
experienced countless kilings of different
sizes and faced many life-and-death
situations, but he had never felt as weak as
he had been just now.
No! Once! It was when he faced Old Master
Lu, he also had the same feeling as he was
now!
When the old man saw that his stab did not
touch Henry, he felt incredible.
"Young man, you are the first one that
couldn't stab." The old man slowly put
down his arm. "I started practising with the
sWord at the age of nine, and now I have
practised only this movement for sixty-
seven years. If anyone can dodge my
move, it means that he has completely
defeated me."
Henry took a deep breath, stared at the old
man, and said, "Sir, do you have any Qi in
your move?"
"Q1?" Hearing Henry's words, the old man's
turbid eyes revealed a touch of nostalgia.
"I haven't heard this word for a long time,
Qi. Young man, which family are you from?
I didn't expect that after so many years,
there is such a genius as you in the ancient
martial arts world."
Henry shook his head. "I'm not from any
aristocratic family."
"Oh?" The old man was a little curious.
"Since you're not from an aristocratic
family, how do you know about Qi?"
"By accident." Henry's face showed a hint
of excitement. The other party really knew
the existence of Qi!
