Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 441: Reunion of Old Friends, Reminiscence of the Past, Sword Saint Forbidden Ruins Reveals M

"Hey? Look, isn't that Instructor Yuan?"

Shen Qingzhu was sharp-eyed and was the first to notice Yuan Tiangang sitting in the corner of a barbecue stall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yuan Tiangang sitting upright. His tall and straight figure seemed particularly striking in the smoky barbecue stall...

Out of place.

The table in front of him was filled with various grilled skewers, and the air was filled with tempting aroma.

"Instructor Yuan!"

Baili Pang'er was the first to rush over, and his speed was like a cannonball fired from a gun.

"Are you enjoying yourself here, old man? Why don't you wait for us?"

"You are here."

Yuan Tiangang's mouth corners slightly raised, with a barely perceptible smile in his tone.

"Everyone, take a seat."

"Instructor, your life is so down-to-earth, isn't it? I almost thought you would invite us to some fancy restaurant!"

Fatty Baili sat down opposite Yuan Tiangang, his eyes scanning the skewers on the table, his saliva almost flowing out.

He also pointed at the glittering watch on Yuan Tiangang's wrist.

He exclaimed in amazement, "Instructor, this Rolex is quite nice. Where did it come from? Was it a gift from some fangirl?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the corners of Yuan Tiangang's mouth twitched noticeably, and veins on his forehead seemed to bulge slightly.

He coughed to hide his embarrassment.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I bought this myself!"

Wu Hen almost laughed out loud when he saw Yuan Tiangang's expression that couldn't help laughing.

This old man clearly cares about it, but he pretends to be nonchalant. He's so adorable!

Everyone took their seats and the area around the table instantly became lively.

"Instructor Yuan, why did you think of bringing us here for barbecue?" Lin Qiye asked curiously.

"After serving in the army for a long time, I like the feeling of having a meal in a lively atmosphere."

Yuan Tiangang picked up a skewer of barbecue, took a bite, and looked very satisfied.

"Eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking wine with big bowls is what a real man should do!"

Baili Pang'er nodded repeatedly, as if he had found a confidant.

"The instructor is right! This feels so good! I've been wanting to eat skewers at a place like this for a long time!"

"You only know how to eat!" Cao Yuanhai rolled his eyes at Baili Pang'er, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Shen Qingzhu and Jiang Er'er also relaxed and smiled.

"Boss, two boxes of beer first!"

Yuan Tiangang shouted to the barbecue stall owner, then turned to look at everyone.

"Today, we won't go home until we're drunk!"

He paused, and glanced at everyone, as if remembering something.

He said slowly: "Speaking of which, when you first entered the training camp..."

At this time, Yuan Tiangang suddenly took out a few cans of ice-cold beer from the backpack beside him, opened them skillfully, and distributed them to everyone.

Yuan Tiangang opened the beer with a few skillful clicks.

The crisp sound of the metal pull ring is particularly pleasant in the hustle and bustle of the night market, and the coolness of the ice-cold beer instantly dispels the heat of the summer night.

He distributed beer to everyone one by one, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Thinking back to when you guys first entered the training camp, you were all like eggplants hit by frost,"

"Fatty Baili, you were as fat as a ball back then, gasping for breath after walking a few steps. Now you're a lot stronger."

Fatty Baili took a big gulp of beer, wiped his mouth, and chuckled, "Of course I do. Instructor Yuan's devilish training, anyone who can endure it is a superman!"

"Back then I was known as the 'human tank', but now I'm at least a 'light armored vehicle'!"

Yuan Tiangang looked at Shen Qingzhu again and teased: "And Shen Qingzhu, you used to cry all the time back then."

"Now I've become a grown-up woman who can stand on my own two feet. Time flies."

Shen Qingzhu's face flushed instantly, she smiled awkwardly, and took out a box of ladies' cigarettes from her pocket.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to Yuan Tiangang: "Instructor, would you like one?"

Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and refused, "I'll quit, I'll quit."

Shen Qingzhu shrugged and threw the cigarette box into the trash can.

"To think you were just a bunch of rookies back then, and now you've grown to the point where you're qualified to challenge our team."

Yuan Tiangang was filled with emotion, "Time is really a butcher's knife..."

Fatty Baili quickly took over and started to flatter: "Instructor Yuan, you are still as skilled as ever!"

"Thinking back then, you were alone..."

Yuan Tiangang interrupted him with a smile: "Alright, alright, stop flattering me."

"By the way, where's that girl Jiang Er'er? Why don't I see her?"

The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.

The air suddenly became quiet for a moment, as if the mute button had been pressed.

There was only the sizzling of skewers on the charcoal fire and the clinking of beer bottles.

"Er'er..."

Shen Qingzhu scratched his head and pointed to the MP3 player on his chest awkwardly.

"She said she's been studying new fighting techniques lately and likes to listen to music quietly by herself,"

"So...he connected with us via MP3."

Everyone then noticed that Jiang Er'er's clear voice was coming from Shen Qingzhu's MP3 earphones.

As if floating from the clouds: "Hi, Lao Yuan, long time no see, the way you are dressed today looks like you are going on a blind date!"

"Tsk tsk, are you trying to trick some little girl back home again?"

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, and the relaxed smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a complex emotion, like guilt and helplessness.

He put down the wine glass in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Really? How is she...really?"

"Don't worry, Lao Yuan, I'm fine! Don't talk like I'm about to die. It makes me feel awkward."

In the MP3, Jiang Er'er's tone is still lively, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear a hint of deliberate ease.

Yuan Tiangang didn't say anything, but just silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

The aroma of barbecue filled the air, but it couldn't dispel the heaviness in his heart.

"By the way, Lao Yuan, I just glanced at your pinned WeChat account. Huh? It's a girl?"

"That's a pretty nice profile picture! Are you planning on finding us a new instructor?"

Jiang Er'er in the MP3 suddenly changed the subject and spoke jokingly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Yuan Tiangang's expression froze instantly, and he almost lost control of the wine glass in his hand. He quickly cleared his throat.

He wanted to explain, but found that everyone had already revealed subtle smiles, as if they had seen some incredible secret.

Fatty Baili even whistled directly, looking at Yuan Tiangang with a smirk on his face.

That expression seemed to be saying, "Old man, I didn't expect you to be such a reserved person."

"Ahem... Well, don't overthink it! He's just a friend, an ordinary friend! Really!"

Yuan Tiangang hurriedly explained, with a hint of panic in his tone. Where was the dignity of an instructor left in him?

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the depressing atmosphere just now disappeared, replaced by laughter and joy.

"Old Yuan, I give you zero points for this explanation!"

In the MP3 player, Jiang Er'er's voice sounded again, with a hint of gloating smile.

"But, I still like you being single! Wahahaha!"

"You girl..." Yuan Tiangang shook his head helplessly, but a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Shen Qingzhu's MP3 player suddenly made a buzzing sound.

Jiang Er'er's voice also became intermittent, and finally disappeared completely, as if she had never appeared.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they could ask what had happened, Yuan Tiangang suddenly stood up, his eyes becoming extremely sharp.

Like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, he stared into the depths of the night and said slowly, "It seems that something unusual is going to happen on this lively night."

The skewers, beer, and the hustle and bustle of the night market, this worldly atmosphere allowed these god-slayers who had experienced countless bloody battles to relax for a rare time.

Baili Panger turned on the "human vacuum cleaner" mode, and wiped out the skewers on the table like a whirlwind.

Cao Yuanhai complained about him but couldn't help but grab it.

Shen Qingzhu ate the meat gracefully with small bites, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Jiang Er'er (through MP3), creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

Wu Hen was not idle either. While eating skewers, he did not forget to open the system to see if there were any strange tasks to take on.

"Ding! Detected that the host is taking the 'Skewer Master' challenge. Mission objective: Eat one hundred skewers of barbecue within an hour. Reward: Obtain the title of 'Iron Stomach' and increase digestion ability by 100%!"

"Oh my god, this system is really fun!"

Wu Hen complained in his heart, but his hands did not slow down, and the speed of eating skewers instantly increased to a higher level.

While eating, he did not forget to look at Lin Qiye with a provocative look.

He said ambiguously: "Qiye, do you want to see who eats the most? The loser will..."

Lin Qiye held his forehead helplessly. He was no longer surprised by Wu Hen's outrageous behavior.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Lin Qiye put down the bottle and turned his gaze to Yuan Tiangang: "Instructor, you said you had seen the Sword Saint twice before. Can you tell us about him?"

"Especially regarding the Sword Saint's Forbidden Ruins, we are all very curious."

Wu Hen also became interested. He stopped eating the skewers and listened carefully with his ears pricked up.

Yuan Tiangang took a sip of beer and recalled, "Sword Saint...how should I put it, he was a very special person."

"I've seen him twice, once at a God Slayer Conference, and the other time was..."

He paused, as if choosing his words, "A rather private occasion."

"He doesn't talk much, and his personality is rather... unpredictable. As for the Sword Saint's Forbidden Ruins, it's a strange place."

"I once attended a conference about it..."

"Meeting? What meeting?" Fatty Baili asked curiously.

Yuan Tiangang's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice and said, "That meeting was of a very high level, and the content was quite confidential."

"I only remember that the focus of the discussion at the meeting was on the strength of the Sword Saint Forbidden Ruins."

“It doesn’t seem to depend on the thing itself, but on… the person who owns it.”

Before he finished speaking, the lights of the barbecue stall suddenly flickered, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

In the distance, a low animal roar was heard, breaking the hustle and bustle of the night market.

Yuan Tiangang stood up suddenly, glanced around fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Here they come..."

Yuan Tiangang put down the wine glass in his hand and his tone became serious: "The Sword Saint Forbidden Ruins is indeed very evil."

"Its strength does not depend on the object itself, but on... the person who possesses it."

"Do you know what its sequence is?" He paused deliberately to whet everyone's appetite.

"How much? It's not 999, 666 or something like that, right?"

Baili Pang'er had the expression of a curious baby on his face.

"333." Yuan Tiangang spit out three numbers.

"What? 333? So low? I thought it was some kind of incredible level!"

Fatty Baili looked incredulous. This was completely different from the Sword Saint Forbidden Ruins he had imagined!

Where is the promised peerless artifact?

"A low sequence doesn't mean it's weak." Yuan Tiangang explained.

"The sequence of the Sword Saint's Forbidden Ruins is 333, named [Glass Pure Heart]. It won't directly increase your combat power, but... it will amplify your inner self."

"Simply put, it makes it easier for you to immerse yourself in your own world and believe what you believe."

"Enlarge your heart?" Lin Qiye frowned, as if he understood something.

"That's right, it's about expanding your inner self."

Yuan Tiangang nodded affirmatively.

"It is said that the Sword Saint was just an ordinary kendo enthusiast, but he particularly liked to read martial arts novels,"

"I was so engrossed in reading that I often put myself into the roles of the characters in the novel. When I practiced swordplay, I felt like I had become a sword god, invincible."

"Later, he obtained the [Glass Heart of Innocent Child]. This item directly magnified the 'Sword God' in his heart countless times, making him truly believe that he was the reincarnation of the Sword God, and so..."

"So he really became the Sword God?"

Wu Hen couldn't help but interrupt, "Isn't this ridiculous? Can you even find a sword master in a novel?"

"It is what it is."

Yuan Tiangang shrugged.

"The Sword Saint relied on this 'secondary' power to overcome all obstacles and eventually become the ceiling of humanity."

"And, as far as I know, the reason he was discovered by the Night's Watch was because he killed an extremely mysterious creature..."

Yuan Tiangang suddenly stopped talking here and looked outside the barbecue stall.

"What creature?" Lin Qiye asked.

Yuan Tiangang did not answer, but slowly stood up, crushing the wine glass in his hand.

The glass fragments fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Here it comes..."
