In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 29 Everything is difficult at the beginning
Perhaps they have already killed someone, taking the first step.

Perhaps because he cared for Zhou Zhiruo and knew that now was not the time to hesitate, Gu Shaoan immediately launched an attack with the strongest "Sunset Sword Technique," leaving no stone unturned.

After dealing with the two, Gu Shaoan did not attack the last person, but let him rush towards Zhou Zhiruo.

Gu Shaoan knew that with Miejue's strength, stopping these bandits from rushing towards them would be a piece of cake.

The reason for letting these four people come was simply to use them to train Gu Shaoan and Zhou Zhiruo.

At the same time, he quickly wiped his longsword on the slightly cold clothes of the bandit on the corpse on the ground before sheathing it.

And in the blink of an eye, he flashed to a position only two zhang away from Zhou Zhiruo and the bandits.

After standing still, his right hand remained on the hilt of his sword, and his legs were slightly bent.

They seemed ready to strike at any moment.

In fact, with the "drawing the sword like a rainbow" effect, Gu Shaoan's sword is fastest and most powerful the moment it is drawn.

On Mount Emei, Gu Shaoan had seen Miejue examining Zhao Jingxuan, Ding Minjun, and Bei Jinyi on several occasions.

By comparison, Gu Shaoan could confirm that, thanks to the effect of the "Sword Drawing Like a Rainbow" attribute, Gu Shaoan's sword-drawing speed at the moment of drawing his sword even surpassed that of the three of them slightly.

In other words, a martial artist like Zhao Jingxuan, who has cultivated for nearly twenty years, might be injured or even killed by Gu Shaoan if he were caught off guard and made the first move.

This was because Gu Shaoan was still young and his meridians had not been nurtured for a long time.

If a few more years pass, and Gu Shaoan grows stronger, with the added effect of the "Sword Drawing Like a Rainbow" skill, the speed at which Gu Shaoan draws his sword will be so fast that Zhao Jingxuan and the others won't even be able to react.

Only with this move did Gu Shaoan have enough confidence that if any problems arose, he could immediately kill the bandits rushing towards Zhou Zhiruo and ensure her safety.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw three of his companions being killed. After a brief moment of panic, the remaining bandit hardened his heart and stared intently at Zhou Zhiruo.

After rushing to Zhou Zhiruo's side, the bandit used the momentum of his charge to mercilessly swing the heavy nail-headed wooden club at Zhou Zhiruo's body.

Faced with the whistling sound of the nail-headed wooden club, Zhou Zhiruo's heart stopped, and the menacing aura that rushed towards her made her hands and feet go cold.

Panic surged up from the bottom of her heart once again, urging Zhou Zhiruo to retreat, but her body was as stiff as a stone and she could not move an inch!

"Senior sister, use the misty trees to attack the chest."

Just then, Gu Shaoan's calm voice pierced the chaos like cold iron and entered Zhou Zhiruo's ears.

With a stern voice and sword moves that seemed to be etched into Zhou Zhiruo's heart, Zhou Zhiruo instinctively moved according to the "Willow Catkin Sword Technique" with the movement of "Catkins Bewitching the Trees".

The light wooden sword is inherently light to wield.

In addition, the daily sword practice over the past six months has also helped Zhou Zhiruo to improve her physical strength.

The wooden sword, though thrown later, struck first, piercing the bandit's chest.

Even though the sword hadn't been opened, the sharp wooden blade still managed to pierce the bandit's chest, causing him to pause and show a pained expression.

But the physical pain only elicited more violent shouts and curses from the bandits.

"You little bitch, you're asking for it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit raised his nail-headed wooden club again and swung it at Zhou Zhiruo, but this time, it was aimed directly at her face.

"Snow falls without leaving a trace, transforming into power."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Zhiruo didn't hesitate. She moved gracefully to the side, her wooden sword rising before she swiftly deflected the force of the bandit's spiked club, causing it to tilt to one side. The next instant, Gu Shaoan's voice reached Zhou Zhiruo's ears again.

"Spring catkins drift through the curtains, striking the kidney acupoint."

Zhou Zhi shifted her body to the side, her wooden sword flashing out with a cunning and swift thrust, the force concentrated at a single point, striking the bandit's right waist.

The pain in his lower back acupoints caused the bandit to tremble and let out a pained howl.

Before the bandits could recover from the pain, Zhou Zhiruo, under Gu Shaoan's guidance, had already swung her sword again.

The bandits in front of her were just ordinary people, and their fighting was completely chaotic. How could they be a match for Zhou Zhiruo, who had been cultivating for some time?
The reason for her poor initial reaction was simply that it was her first time facing an enemy, and Zhou Zhiruo herself lost her composure.

With Gu Shaoan's guidance, Zhou Zhiruo's panicked state of mind gradually calmed down as she swung her wooden sword, and she was able to clearly sense the flaws in the bandits' movements.

The confidence and composure gained from handling each move effectively completely dispelled the fear in my heart.

Even without Gu Shaoan offering any further guidance, Zhou Zhiruo was still able to deal with the bandit using the Willow Floss Sword Technique and her lightness skill as usual.

Taking in Zhou Zhiruo's situation, Gu Shaoan nodded slightly.

"Senior sister, you've succeeded in your first attempt at building courage."

All beginnings are hard.

For Zhou Zhiruo, being able to bravely face these bandits was already a first step.

At this point, Gu Shaoan felt a slight sense of relief, but his right hand remained gripping the sword hilt.

After a dozen or so moves, Zhou Zhiruo, having fully adapted, once again used "Snow Falls Without a Trace," dodging the opponent's attack while leaping up and sideways to stab the opponent's temple with her sword.

The temples are considered a vital point for the human body.

Even though the wooden sword wasn't sharpened, the force of Zhou Zhiruo's all-out thrust caused the bandit to groan and faint.

Only then did Zhou Zhiruo begin to gasp for breath, her black hair sticking to her cheeks with sweat.

But looking at the bandit she had knocked unconscious, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes grew even brighter.

"Senior sister is amazing!"

Suddenly, Gu Shaoan's voice rang out from the side.

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Gu Shaoan, who was walking quickly towards her, and recalled what had just happened, a sense of lingering fear welled up in her heart again.

Zhou Zhiruo had been intimidated by the bandits' imposing presence. If Gu Shaoan hadn't reminded her, she would probably have been injured or even captured by the bandits by now.

In response, Zhou Zhiruo quickly said, "Thank you very much, Junior Brother."

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "We are not strangers, Senior Sister, there is no need to be so polite."

Zhou Zhiruo smiled gently, then raised her eyes slightly, first looking at the corpses of the bandits that Gu Shaoan had killed, and then at the unconscious bandit in front of her.

Thinking of what Gu Shaoan had said to her before and on Mount Emei, Zhou Zhiruo's face immediately showed a hint of struggle.

"Om~"

Just then, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Zhiruo's eyes.
