Chapter 26 Broken Knife
The moment he put on the demon pattern, a piece of information appeared in Zhou Chen's mind. This information was about the application of the magical power of controlling the wind. At this moment, Zhou Chen could create a breeze within a certain range.

The range can be controlled by himself. If the range is smaller, the power will be greater. If it is only within one meter around his body, then the strong wind will be enough to withstand the full-strength attack of an ordinary ninth-grade warrior.

Not only that, Zhou Chen can also use his magical powers to step on the wind and fly, but this cannot be used unlimitedly. Once the power within the demon pattern is used up, it cannot be used again. If you want to use it again, you must wait until the demon pattern recovers its power.

The same is true for his wind blade, which is why Zhou Chen will not use it easily. Then Zhou Chen began to activate his magical powers. Suddenly, Zhou Chen felt wind under his feet, and then his body was lifted up by the wind, and then flew towards home.

Now he is only at the lower third grade, with no true Qi in his body, so all his magical powers can only be maintained by the power in the demon pattern. When he reaches the middle third grade and has true Qi in his body, he can use his own true Qi to replenish the power of the demon pattern, so that he can use his magical powers for a long time.

Zhou Chen could feel that he could last 15 minutes at full speed. It only took him five minutes to get home. However, in order not to attract attention, he fell from the air when he was about to reach the village entrance and walked into the village.

After returning home, he found green smoke slowly floating out of the chimney. Seeing this, Zhou Chen felt relieved and then pushed the door open and entered the house, "Yiyao, cook more, I'm hungry."

Hearing Zhou Chen's voice, Leng Yiyao walked out of the kitchen with a smile and said, "Brother Chen, you're back. How's things going?"
Zhou Chen put Amber and Heiyuan down and said, "Things are going well. We don't have to worry about the bandits anymore."

"That's good, I'll go get some more meat from the cellar".

"Well go ahead."

After Leng Yiyao went down to the cellar, Zhou Chen went back to the room and changed his clothes. When Leng Yiyao came out, Zhou Chen had already changed his clothes.

Zhou Chen sat by the stove, warming himself by the fire while staring at Leng Yiyao's back in a daze. Soon the meal was ready.

After dinner, Zhou Chen suggested that Leng Yiyao learn kung fu, so that Leng Yiyao would not be bullied even when he was not at home.

When Leng Yiyao heard Zhou Chen say that he wanted to teach her swordsmanship, she said happily, "Okay, let's start today."

Then, without waiting for Zhou Chen to speak, he came straight to Zhou Chen, took a look, then reached out to grab Heiyuan, but failed to pick it up.

"Use amber. Black Abyss is too heavy and not suitable for you." Then he handed the amber to Leng Yiyao and took him to the yard.

Zhou Chen held the Black Abyss in his hand and demonstrated the Liuhe sword techniques to Leng Yiyao, and explained to him the force and techniques of each move.

Although these low-grade martial arts cannot cultivate true Qi, practicing them day after day can indeed subtly increase one's own strength. At this time, Leng Yiyao's strength is 5, which is within the normal standard.

Seeing that Leng Yiyao was still struggling to hold the amber with one hand, Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head, saying "Forget it, you should use something else instead." Then Zhou Chen found a thick branch and simply carved a wooden knife for him.

Sure enough, with the wooden sword in hand, the previous feeling of effort disappeared instantly. After a day of explanation, Zhou Chen had taught Leng Yiyao all the essence of the Liuhe sword technique. Leng Yiyao was also very smart and remembered it all. From then on, she just had to practice diligently.

That night, Zhou Chen sneaked out while Leng Yiyao was asleep. After leaving the house, Zhou Chen flew out of the village directly. Ten minutes later, Zhou Chen arrived in Qinghua County.

For ordinary people, they basically go to bed as soon as it gets dark, but people living in Qinghua County will not go to bed so early. At this time, Qinghua County is brightly lit.

Zhou Chen came to the blacksmith shop again and handed the amber to the boss, "Boss, please make this knife shorter for me, I need it tonight in a hurry." Then he took out twenty taels of silver. Seeing this, the boss immediately smiled and said, "Okay, sir, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Three hours later, the amber had been reforged. Its length was now two-thirds of its original length, and of course its weight was also one-third lighter. Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction and then left the blacksmith shop.

The next morning Zhou Chen handed the amber back to Leng Yiyao. Looking at the amber in his hand that was nearly half shorter, Leng Yiyao asked in confusion, "Brother Chen, is this amber? Why is it shorter?" "Don't worry about it, go and try it."

Leng Yiyao brought Amber to the yard and performed a set of Liuhe sword techniques. She felt that Amber was using it very skillfully at the moment, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

Seeing Leng Yiyao's happy expression, Zhou Chen was also happy in his heart. It had to be said that Leng Yiyao was indeed a good candidate for martial arts training. In just a few days, he had already mastered the Liuhe swordsmanship. Not only that, Zhou Chen also discovered that his strength had actually increased a little. At this time, Leng Yiyao's strength had reached 6 points.

Afterwards, Zhou Chen attacked Leng Yiyao holding the Black Abyss. Of course, the Black Abyss did not leave his body, he only attacked with the handle of the sword. "It's not enough to just practice the swordsmanship. It has to be integrated into actual combat. Come, let me teach you some moves."

At this moment, Leng Yiyao was completely crushed by Zhou Chen in terms of moves alone, not to mention strength. However, Zhou Chen did not expect him to defeat him, but instead tried to apply his sword skills in actual combat as soon as possible.

During dinner, Zhou Chen mentioned that they were going to the county for dinner tomorrow. Leng Yiyao nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. I will take care of myself at home."

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "Why don't you come with me? We haven't been to the county together yet. I can buy you some suitable clothes then."

"I have enough clothes to wear, so I'll buy you a few."

"Okay, but I'm not very good at choosing clothes. How about you help me pick some clothes?"

"Well, okay then."

Early the next morning, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao and rushed to the county. Not long after walking, Zhou Chen saw Leng Yiyao was tired and out of breath, so he came to him, bent down and said, "Yiyao, come on up, I'll carry you."

Leng Yiyao smiled and jumped onto his back without saying anything. This time they were going out just to eat, and since it was inconvenient for Hei Yuan to carry with him, she left it at home and did not bring it with her.

An hour later, the two saw the city wall of Qinghua County from afar, "Brother Chen, we're here, please let me down."

"Still early".

"No, it would be bad if someone saw it."

"What's wrong with that? When they see the truth, just tell them that you are my wife and see who dares to say anything."

"Ah" Leng Yiyao's face turned red instantly when she heard Zhou Chen's words. Zhou Chen also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. How could he say what was in his heart?

Just like that, Zhou Chen carried Leng Yiyao into the city gate. Although some people would occasionally look at the two of them, Leng Yiyao kept climbing on Zhou Chen's back and didn't say anything else.

After entering the city, Zhou Chen let go of Leng Yiyao, and then boldly took Leng Yiyao's hand, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something, and then go buy clothes."

Zhou Chen held Leng Yiyao's hand and walked through the streets. Although food was in short supply outside the city, it was still okay inside the city. At least they didn't have to worry about food.

Although Leng Yiyao didn't say anything while Zhou Chen was holding her hand, Zhou Chen felt that it was not good to keep holding her hand, so he tried to let go of Leng Yiyao's hand. Unexpectedly, Leng Yiyao actually took his hand actively after he let go.
