"Martial artist?"
Bai Yang was stunned, though this was not the first time he heard of this term from the villagers, he still did not have a clear concept about these guys.
He remembered that back on earth, Liu Qingshan mentioned that he was a martial artist as well but no matter how he looked at it, Xiao Mao could easily beat up 10 Liu Qingshan's effortlessly….
So what was the point of practicing martial arts?
This was why Bai Yang never took it seriously but this time, it appeared that martial artists played a huge role in this world and that they seemed to be awfully powerful?
"Yes, young master. Apart from the martial artists exist only in legends, I can't figure out what kind of a person could kill something as terrifying as the Four Ear Green Ox….."
Zhao Shi replied with a frown.
That's because you have yet to witness the power of guns!
While mumbling, Bai Yang waited and waited, only to receive no more explanation from Zhao Shi so he asked, "And?"
"And what, young master?"
"The details of these martial artists!"
"I don't know!"
Zhao Shi shook his head.
"....."
What? You might as well not even tell me, I don't even know how strong these martial artists are, can guns kill them?
"Right, don't you go training in the morning every day? So why do you not know anything about martial artists?"
Upon thinking of this, Bai Yang asked.
A speechless Zhao Shi replied, "Young master, we don't practice martial arts, we are just purely doing this to strengthen our body…. But I once heard that under similar conditions, the martial artists could easily wipe a hundred of us out, this is the difference between us ordinary folks and the martial artists!"
After hearing this, Bai Yang gave it a thought and he tapped on his forehead as he said, "I get it now. So you have the strength but not the technique to fully draw out your strength, right? All you know is just swing your sword around or fire arrows, there's nothing "professional" about yourselves. The martial artists, on the other hand, must have some kind of an advanced cultivation technique or so that allows them to deliver strength greater than their original strength, yes?"
"I guess so?"
Zhao Shi replied with a confused face, he knew nothing completely….
Bai Yang, however, felt that his conclusion was right, yet, useless…. He did not know anything about martial arts and everything he got in touch with was absurd theories he saw on the television…..
"Young master… Martial artists are not that simple….."
Zhao Shi replied in conflict.
"I know, I know… Maybe advanced martial artists could deliver a ranged attack from nowhere. This will be studied later on, as for this ox… Check and see if it is still alive or not. If it's already dead, we will get closer to observe this beast and take a photo to show off…."
Bai Yang turned the topic away from martial artists as he pointed at the gigantic ox; something flashed across his mind but he did not seem to be able to catch it….
"Young master, what is a photo?"
Hu Zi who heard something new asked right away.
"Where are all these questions coming from? Just go and check if the green ox is dead or not. We can talk about the others later."
Bai Yang shook his hands and expressed that he refused to answer such a boring question.
"Young master, the ox is dead!"
Zhao Shi answered confidently.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go take a look…."
Bai Yang did not bother how they know that the ox was dead, but as long as it was dead, everything was good.
Holy shit, such an abnormally huge cow, this is a whole new experience, I will die of regret if I don't take a look at it for myself.
Xiao Mao carried him down the tree and the group slowly got closer towards the beast and they finally arrived at the destroyed area.
It was only standing before the Four Ear Green Ox of a size of a mountain did Bai Yang truly felt the shock that drilled deep into his soul, and he felt that he was just like a tiny rock before the monstrous size of the ox.
If the ox was still alive, with only just a stomp, it would be able to crush someone into a pile of meat, so crushed that mincing wouldn't be necessary anymore if the meat was to used to make dumplings….
Bai Yang took out his phone, signaled the villagers to move away and took a few pictures of the ox while ignoring the curious looks coming from the villagers; anyhow, they wouldn't understand the selfie culture of modern people….
"Young master, we should leave soon, the Four Ear Green Ox is dead, and its body will attract a bunch of ferocious beasts."
Zhao Shi looked around worriedly and suggested.
"Understood. The blood scent will attract unnecessary problems, we should leave right now…."
Bai Yang knew the logic behind this, so after satisfying his curiosity, he was the one that wanted to leave this place more than anything else….
After taking a few glances at the surrounding, Bai Yang couldn't imagine just how scary the ox was; a tree that was so huge that needed a few men to spread their arms around just to surround it, was easily mowed down by the ox, maybe not even Optimus Prime could wrestle against this beast!
Besides, Bai Yang was also convinced that the beast was killed by someone, for the injuries on its body clearly were resulted by some kind of a sharp weapon, its horn was also snapped under brute force. The massive tree branches were also hacked apart by the same weapon, the cut around them was smooth and clean….
And Bai Yang also couldn't imagine just how scary the person that killed the ox was!
"Someone's over there, young master….!"
Hu Zi's voice suddenly came from the other side of the ox's body.
Everyone's heart tightened up right away, without even the need to think, they could already tell that this person was definitely not harmless to be able to show up at this place.
In the split second, Xiao Mao pulled out her titanium sword and stood in front of Bai Yang without hesitation.
While touched by this unconscious move of Xiao Mao, Bai Yang secretly reached towards the pistols on his waist and he asked, "What's going on?"
"Ermmmm, he looks like he is dead…."
Hu Zi turned around and said while scratching his head.
Everyone let out a relieved sigh right away, Can't you just finish your words in one go? Do you enjoy scaring us?
"I'll go take a look."
Zhao Shi was the first one who ran towards the dead body, responsibly carrying out his duty as a guard, while the others remained alert around Bai Yang, each wielding the titanium sabers.
"Young master, there really is a man, but he is dead."
Not long later, Zhao Shi's voice was heard.
"Let's go take a look, shall we?"
Bai Yang considered this for a few seconds and asked; though a dead man was probably a little too much for him, he couldn't hold his curiosity back. Besides, a dead person around here was probably related to the green ox.
Under the protection of the villagers, Bai Yang walked forward and he saw a man that died a horrible death.
This man was a young man, he had black long robes. The cause of his death was a massive horn that pierced right through his chest, one that lengthed about two meters long!
The dead young man was lying with his face facing upwards, the intimidating horn pointed towards the skies and his eyes were wide open. In his hand was also a green-colored long sword….
"This guy is probably the one that killed the ox, but from the looks of this, he must have died from the injuries he sustained from the battle."
After observing for some time, Bai Yang covered his mouth and said.
Meanwhile, in his mind, an image appeared; late in the night, and in the dark, this dude ran into the Four Ear Green Ox, and for some reason, a battle ensued. Though the black-robed young man was a martial artist, he couldn't go head-on against the ox, so he fought the ox by circling around and waited for his chance to attack. After a fierce and prolonged battle, from night to day, when the fight was about to end, the Four Ear Green Ox that was about to fall suddenly unleashed a surprise attack that caught the young man off guard, piercing him with his horn, only to have it snapped by the young man. As for the horn that was still in the young man's body, the young man did not dare to pull it out recklessly, so with he snapped it off from the ox's head and finally, both parties fell in the end; the ox died and the young man who had no more strength left was left to die on the scene…..
As for why they fought, only god will know…..
"Arggh… hel...help me…."
Just as various thoughts were running amok in Bai Yang's mind, the black-robed young man that was obviously dead coughed vigorously suddenly, coughed out a load of blood and stutteringly asked for help.
Holy shit.
Including Bai Yang, all of them were all startled.
"Help me, I… I am De Yang Town's….. Che Family… Che…."
After hearing these few words, Bai Yang's gaze sharpened up right away and he shouted, "Zhao Shi, kill him!"
Pu che—
A saber flashed across the air as, without a thought, Zhao Shi carried out Bai Yang's order and decapitated the young man right away!
"What the fuck, you scared me and all Che Family's men must die! Che Family, Che my ass!"
While looking at the head that rolled away, Bai Yang spat and swore.
Without even needing to think, Bai Yang knew that this guy was here to seek revenge, under the order of Che Family, but for some reason, he got into a battle with the Four Ear Green Ox and after a tough battle that crippled him, he was unlucky enough to run into Bai Yang and the others; he even sought for help from them and such luck was definitely awful…..
"Heh, I knew that things weren't as simple as they seemed. The ox wouldn't go crazy without a reason, it was actually fighting with Che Family's martial artist!"
While mumbling silently, Bai Yang shouted, "Stop dreaming, hurry up, loot him and let's go home!"
"Young master, what is a loot?"
Hu Zi asked.
"I mean, take everything on him that you find useful, get it?"
Bai Yang replied impatiently; though he knew that the man was dead, he was still too afraid of getting too close to a dead body. Only God knew what kind of a person that was still alive at such a condition could do? No one said that it was perfectly safe that even when his head was decapitated!
Hu Zi loyally carried out Bai Yang's order, he probably felt that everything on the young man was useful so he stripped him naked entirely…
And they all left quickly after…
A powerful man who killed the Four Ear Green Ox after a ferocious fight, was killed by a bunch of fools in the end. His luck was truly awful…..
