Super God: Liang Bing: Please, stop going crazy!
Chapter 142 Dangerous
These demon wolves were obviously moving in groups, using the tactic of encircling and hunting, gradually narrowing the encirclement in an attempt to trap their prey. Cheng Hao tightly grasped his sword, his heartbeat quickening. Although he knew that he was not in a good condition, he was still unwilling to show weakness.
"These demon wolves must have sensed the bloody scent on you, so they followed you." Qin Mu said calmly, his eyes calmly scanning the movements of the demon wolves.
Cheng Hao's face turned slightly pale, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, but he suppressed the fear in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of them! Even if I get hurt, I will fight them!"
Qin Mu looked at the stubbornness in the boy's eyes and sighed in his heart. Although this spirit of not admitting defeat is admirable, in the current situation, blindly showing off is tantamount to seeking death.
"Keep your ground first and don't rush into action." Qin Mu reminded softly. Although he knew that these demon wolves posed no threat to him, he wanted to see how Cheng Hao would perform in this desperate situation.
The movements of the demon wolves became more and more ferocious, gradually approaching the two people's position, and it seemed that they would launch a fatal attack at any time. Cheng Hao took a deep breath, moved his feet slightly, adjusted his position, and tried to find an opportunity to counterattack. There was a glimmer of unyielding light in his eyes. Even in the face of such a strong enemy, he was still unwilling to give in easily.
At this moment, the leading demon wolf suddenly let out a sharp howl, and the other demon wolves responded and rushed towards Cheng Hao and Qin Mu from all directions. Cheng Hao suddenly shouted, and the long sword in his hand was like lightning, with a flash of green light, and he chopped directly at the demon wolves that were rushing towards him. The sword was sharp, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, and accurately hit the front paw of a demon wolf.
However, the wolf's defense was very strong. Even though its claws were cut off, it still pounced on him frantically. Although Cheng Hao barely repelled the first wave of attacks, more wolves followed, with sharp claws and fangs flashing around him. Although he tried his best to swing his sword to fight back, his physical strength was overdrawn after all, and his movements began to slow down, and he was in danger.
Mu stood aside, observing the battle calmly, but he did not attack immediately. He could see that Cheng Hao was close to his limit, but the unyielding determination in the boy's eyes still supported him to fight.
"Hold on a little longer... I can still... strike out one more sword!" Cheng Hao gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead, and he swung his sword with all his strength again, the green light was like a rainbow, and he slashed straight at the oncoming demon wolf. The sword energy drew an arc in the air, successfully cutting off one of the demon wolf's hind legs, but then, a demon wolf that pounced from the flank clawed directly at Cheng Hao's waist and abdomen, and blood splattered instantly.
Cheng Hao groaned in pain and staggered a few steps, but he still did not give up. He slashed back with his sword, and although he forced the demon wolf back, his movements were obviously slowing down and his strength was almost exhausted.
"I can't fall down... I must not fall down!" Cheng Hao roared in his heart, his eyes were still firm, but his body was getting weaker and weaker. He knew he was in danger, but his unyielding belief made him unwilling to retreat.
Seeing several demon wolves rushing at him at the same time, their claws flashing coldly, Cheng Hao no longer had enough strength to launch an effective counterattack. However, at the critical moment, a blue light cut through the air and instantly hit the demon wolf that was rushing towards Cheng Hao like a thunderbolt. The light was like a sharp blade, directly cutting the demon wolf in half, blood and flesh splattered, and the stumps rolled to the ground.
Qin Mu finally made his move. He waved his hand gently, and the blue light of the sub-biological engine surged again, with irresistible force, rushing straight towards the remaining demon wolves. Those demon wolves were unable to resist at all, and were torn apart by the blue light in an instant, falling in a pool of blood.
Cheng Hao stared blankly at the scene in front of him, breathing rapidly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he was hovering between life and death, but he was still unwilling to give in easily. However, reality told him that the gap in strength made him powerless to save the situation.
"You have done very well, but facing such a powerful enemy, passion alone is far from enough." Qin Mu walked up to Cheng Hao, with a calm and instructive tone in his voice.
Cheng Hao looked down at his bloody hands, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes: "I know I'm not strong enough, but I don't want to give up. I don't want to rely on others to save me forever, I want to become strong enough to stand on my own!"
Qin Mu looked at the bloodstained but still stubborn boy and sighed inwardly. He understood that Cheng Hao's unyielding spirit might help him become a top warrior in the future, but now he needed more training and growth. Blindly challenging himself would only put him in a desperate situation.
"Your determination is worthy of recognition, but you must do everything within your ability and don't let unnecessary stubbornness become a shackle that binds you." Qin Mu's tone was calm, but with a certain unquestionable majesty.
Cheng Hao was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said seriously: "I understand, senior, thank you for saving my life and teachings, I will remember it in my heart."
Qin Mu nodded slightly and held Cheng Hao's shoulders: "Take good care of your injuries, don't rush for success. When you recover, I can give you some advice."
Cheng Hao's eyes flashed with excitement: "Thank you, senior. I will definitely seize this opportunity!"
Qin Mu said nothing more, turned around and looked at the dense forest in the distance, as if thinking about how to continue the journey. Cheng Hao stood quietly in the same place, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but this life-and-death test made him more determined to achieve his goal.
The mountain breeze blew away the bloody smell in the air, and the mountains in the distance disappeared in the faint mist, as if calling for more adventures and unknown challenges. Qin Mu and Cheng Hao understood that their respective journeys were still going on, and they would also face more tests and growth.
After a few days of recuperation, Cheng Hao gradually recovered from his injuries. Although his body had not yet fully recovered, his inner fighting spirit was even stronger. Qin Mu did not say much these days, but occasionally taught him some sword skills and mental breathing methods. Cheng Hao's gratitude and admiration for Qin Mu became deeper and deeper.
One morning, the mountains were shrouded in mist, and dewdrops were hanging on the branches and leaves. Cheng Hao got up early and practiced swordplay alone. His swordplay was sharp, and every move and style was full of tenacity and unyielding momentum, especially the spirit of not admitting defeat, which made his swordplay appear particularly sharp. Qin Mu watched quietly from a distance, with a bit of appreciation and a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
After practicing a set of sword techniques, Cheng Hao put away his sword and stood still, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He stopped to catch his breath for a moment, then walked towards Qin Mu with determination, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly: "Senior Qin, I, Cheng Hao, admire you very much and would like to become your disciple, learn from you, and improve my swordsmanship. I hope you will help me!"
Qin Mu's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on Cheng Hao, as if he had expected this scene. He looked at Cheng Hao quietly for a while, thinking secretly in his heart. Cheng Hao's talent is indeed extraordinary, and his mind is firm. If he can be taught carefully, he will definitely be able to make a name in the world in the future. But Qin Mu knew in his heart that he had always been a loner, never planned to accept disciples, and did not want to be bound by the responsibility of teaching disciples.
"Why do you want to take me as your master?" Qin Mu's tone was calm, but he went straight to the point.
Cheng Hao looked up at Qin Mu, his eyes revealing a persistence and desire: "Senior, you are a martial arts master with profound knowledge. I want to learn from you and hone myself. I don't want to rely on others for help, but hope to be able to handle everything independently. I know my own shortcomings, so I beg you to accept me as your apprentice and teach me the way of the sword."
Qin Mu shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Your idea is good, but I am not the kind of master you imagine. My path is different from yours. I am a wandering knight with an unruly heart and love freedom. Accepting a disciple is a kind of bondage to me."
Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect Qin Mu to refuse so directly. The young man felt a little disappointed, but the obsession in his eyes did not dissipate. He gritted his teeth and continued, "Senior, I know my request is presumptuous, but I am willing to follow you as a disciple and dare not neglect you in the slightest. I only hope to learn a little bit of your skills. Even if I can't formally become your disciple, I will be satisfied if I have the opportunity to follow you!"
Qin Mu looked at Cheng Hao's unyielding eyes and sighed inwardly. This young man did have rare talent and resilience, but he was not willing to change his lifestyle because of this. He had seen too many young people lose their way in the pursuit of power, and he didn't want to be the one who led Cheng Hao down this path.
"Cheng Hao, you have talent and perseverance, which are commendable qualities. But the path of swordsmanship is not just about pursuing strength and skills. What's more important is to find your own state of mind and direction." Qin Mu's tone was a little serious, and his eyes became deep. "Becoming a disciple is not the only way. You should explore your own swordsmanship instead of blindly following others."
When Cheng Hao heard this, his expression froze slightly. He felt a little unwilling, but more confused. He whispered, "Senior, am I not worthy of your acceptance as a disciple? I am willing to give everything just to receive your guidance."
Qin Mu sighed softly, his eyes becoming a little softer. "This is not a question of whether you are worthy or not, but you should understand that some things can only be found and realized by yourself. Even if I accept you as my apprentice, you will only learn my swordsmanship, but will not be able to truly understand your own swordsmanship. Only after experiencing real trials and tribulations can you find your own path."
Cheng Hao lowered his head and thought deeply. He had never thought that the way of swordsmanship had such a profound meaning. He had thought that as long as he had the guidance of a famous teacher, he would be able to grow rapidly, but Qin Mu's words made him realize that perhaps the real strong did not rely solely on the outside world, but found the direction of progress through self-breakthrough.
"But... Senior, if no one guides me, I'm afraid I will take a detour." Cheng Hao said a little uneasily, with hesitation in his tone.
Qin Mu smiled slightly: "A detour is also a way. It is those seemingly unnecessary twists and turns that allow you to find your own way out of real difficulties. You have to believe in yourself. External guidance is ultimately limited. Real growth lies in how you choose every time you face difficulties."
Cheng Hao's mind suddenly became clear. Although he still felt a little reluctant, he knew that Qin Mu was telling the truth. The road to becoming a strong man was destined to be full of challenges and loneliness. He couldn't always rely on others, but had to find his own way.
Seeing Cheng Hao's confusion gradually dissipate, Qin Mu nodded and said, "Don't be obsessed with becoming my disciple. If you are willing, I can give you some advice on cultivation, but you must remember that in the end, only you can decide your fate."
