In the evening, an oil lamp in his hut swayed gently as Mu Yi sat at the table and studied . He was studying the invisible charm . Over the past few days, he’d learned a lot and had begun to sketch the charm in his mind . Although he failed every time, he gradually discovered some potential progress in how to draw it so it would cloak his soul and body .
As it grew darker, Mu Yi gave up studying the invisible charm and prepared to recover as he had every day .
However, when Mu Yi was about to settle down, a soft voice came from outside . Ordinary people couldn’t hear it, but Mu Yi could .
“Are you sure it’s here?”
He frowned and his eyes turned cold . In the dark, two figures stood in front of a Wang Tieniu’s yard .
“It’s here . The master means to kill them all . ” The other answered in a low voice .
“Don’t worry, it’s just a few lives . ”
As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt something was wrong . Before he could turn around, there was a breeze behind him . It was bad . He was shocked, and he felt a pain in the back of his head . He lost consciousness with barely a thought .
Wang Wu woke up after some time . He took in his surroundings and saw two men: a young Taoist priest and a strong man .

“Who are you?” Wang Wu said in a strong voice despite his fear . His gaze jumped back and forth between them . Although he didn’t understand what happened, he was very clear that if they could knock him unconscious without a sound, they were much stronger than him . The other man was not nearby .
“Wang Tieniu, don’t you want to know how far away you are from being a third class expert? Defeat him, you are the third class expert,” said Mu Yi lightly .
Mu Yi had intended to kill the two men, but changed his mind so that Wang Tieniu could gain some combat experience . Wang Wu had just reached the third class, so he was the best partner for training .
“Yes, master . ” Wang Tieniu replied respectfully then looked at Wang Wu with a murderous gaze .
He knew that if it wasn’t for his master, his family would not have escaped last night . He regretted leaving Huang Yaowen alive even more . For the first time, he understood the cruelty of the world .
“Now if you can defeat my apprentice, you will live,” Mu Yi said .
“Is that true?” Wang Wu’s eyes suddenly brightened . He thought he was going to die .
“That’s true,” said Mu Yi lightly .

“Well, show me your strength . ” Wang Wu was very happy . He looked at Wang Tieniu . Though Mu Yi knocked him out, he had not been disarmed, so he drew his short sword .
“Please,” Wang Tieniu lifted his sword, remembered his training, and stared at Wang Wu .
Since his apprenticeship began, Wang Tieniu felt that his strength had improved rapidly . He had asked Mu Yi if he was an expert yet, but Mu Yi denied it . Although he believed in Mu Yi’s words, he was unavoidably unconvinced . This was a great chance to verify his strength .
Wang Tieniu was serious, and a light evil aura emanated from him . The Five Tigers Break Door Sword Techniques was a first-class sword technique . Combined with the blood he’d spilled, it was not surprising that he had developed this evil aura . Wang Wu felt it and his arrogance turned to wariness .
The Five Tigers Break Door Sword Techniques actually originated from Shaolin . The sword technique was very sharp, like a tiger clawing its prey . Nothing could stop it . To ‘break’ was the essence of the sword technique . Mu Yi imprinted the techniques into his mind and saved him a lot of time on the road to mastery .
Because of this, Mu Yi did not teach him other sword techniques and let Wang Tieniu fully absorb it . Wang Tieniu had a general talent and great perseverance . He had shown that much in training, but now was his chance to apply it .
With a roar, Wang Tieniu lunged at Wang Wu . He looked like a tiger leaping down the mountain . The latter was shocked by his aura, but he was a third-class expert and far superior to Wang Tieniu in terms of his fighting experience . Wang Tieniu was enraptured in his strength and conviction . It wasn’t the best idea to meet him head on, so Wang Wu stepped back and pulled away from Wang Tieniu .
Wang Tieniu didn’t expect that Wang Wu would retreat . He missed, but he continued to pursue and aim for Wang Wu again and again . Wang Wu’s idea was to wear him down . He was faster than Wang Tieniu, so although Wang Tieniu’s sword technique was fierce, he could not catch up with him . The swords met and parted, but Wan Tienu had not landed a solid blow .

Soon, Wang Tieniu realized it and began to slow down to conserve his strength .
Wang Wu’s eyes flashed with ferocity . He took the opportunity and advanced, thrusting his short sword at Wang Tieniu .
Wang Tieniu was not afraid of Wang Wu . He blocked the attack and turned swiftly to strike Wang Wu . The length of his sword was his advantage . If Wang Wu didn’t dodge, he would be cut open .
Wang Wu ducked and swung low towards Wang Tieniu’s belly .
Wang Tieniu jumped up, twisted sharply, and swung at Wang Wu . Wang Wu rolled across the ground and escaped the strike . Although Wang Wu looked a bit awkward, he had conserved more strength than Wang Tieniu .
Wang Tieniu didn’t give up his advantage . He wanted to kill Wang Wu . Wang Wu was smart, dodging and looking for opportunities . They were entangled with each other for a while .
Mu Yi watched silently . Although Wang Tieniu had somewhat of an upper hand, he was in a bad situation . He had little experience in fighting . Wang Wu controlled the pace of the fight .
Once his strength started to wear out, Wang Wu would turn the tide .
Moreover, Wang Wu had remained calm, which impressed Mu Yi somewhat . He wasn’t weak and had a good tactical understanding of when to advance and when to retreat .
After a long time of attacking, Wang Tieniu began to fret and began to increase the strength behind his strikes . It seemed that he wanted to split Wang Wu in half . Unfortunately, none of his attacks landed . Wang Tieniu began to lose confidence . He thought he was an expert, but he didn’t expect to beat a third class expert .
The more he thought like this, the more he wanted to win . After dozens of moves, he finally stepped on a pit on the ground and tripped, throwing off his stance .
Wang Wu saw the opportunity and took it . He rushed at Wang Tieniu in a flash and thrust his dagger forward quickly .
There was a flash of panic in Wang Tieniu’s eyes . He felt guilty as if he had wasted Mu Yi’s hard work and let down his parents and family, and Xiao Lian, but he was not afraid of death .
He thought he was not afraid of death . Then what else could defeat him? The panic in his eyes suddenly vanished . The Five Tigers Break Door Sword Techniques had become instinct . He struck out at Wang Wu intending to take his death so long as he injured Wang Wu .
Seeing this, Wang Wu cursed him . If Mu Yi wasn’t nearby, he would definitely kill Wang Tieniu at the cost of slight injury, but he knew that if he killed Mu Yi’s apprentice, there would be consequences . He wanted to win, not kill .
He dodged and quickly retreated . The sword almost brushed against his chest, cutting his clothes .
As soon as Wang Wu retreated, he took advantage of his speed and kicked Wang Tieniu in the back .
Wang Tieniu fell to the ground, unable to defend himself .
