Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 2: Kill all the robbers and gain a lot

Qingzhou, at the foot of Yanyun Mountain.

Zhoucun.

The biting cold wind made people's clothes rustle.

When Lin Chen opened his eyes again, he heard a noisy sound in his ears.

The cries of women, the pleas of men, the clash of swords...

The ground was littered with broken limbs and seven or eight lifeless bodies were lying in a pool of blood.

More than a dozen robbers armed with knives and guns burned, killed, and looted, killing anyone they saw.

"Sure enough... after I left, the time in the world of cultivation also stopped..."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

In this world, he met a kind-hearted merchant caravan traveling along the way, and prepared to go to Changchun Gate to search for immortals.

Last night, the caravan passed through Zhoucun and rested for the night, but before dawn they were killed and robbed by robbers.

The robbers killed all the caravan members and planned to wipe out the entire Zhou Village.

Fortunately, Lin Chen was smart and hid himself during the chaos.

Just as the seven-day cooling-off period was over, he traveled back to Blue Star at the critical moment.

He put the puppy in his arms on the ground, and sure enough, the dog did not travel to Blue Star with him.

I glanced at the countdown on my arm: 167 hours, 58 minutes and 57 seconds.

"Sure enough, time has been reset..."

Lin Chen verified his guess about his ability, but he didn't have time to think about it.

He was hiding in a corner at the moment, carefully observing the number and positions of the robbers.

"There are... eleven Tribulation Cultivators in total!"

"And I have sixteen bullets in my pistol... With a little accuracy, it won't be difficult to kill them all."

In the Great Xia Kingdom, where martial arts are respected, firearms shooting is also an important course and is included in the national martial arts assessment.

Lin Chen has always gotten full marks in shooting courses.

He took a deep breath and aimed his gun at several robbery cultivators several meters away.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud gunshot, a high-speed bullet was ejected from the barrel.

Three blood flowers exploded in the air, and fist-sized holes appeared on the chests of the three Tribulation Cultivators. They fell to the ground with their eyes wide open.

“All three shots hit the target!”

Lin Chen was delighted, but his body was knocked back half a step by the recoil of the pistol.

The new 17mm caliber kinetic pistol is the latest product of the Martial Arts Technology Research Institute.

The initial speed of the bullet can reach 800m/s, which can effectively kill enemies within meters.

The powerful force is even enough to penetrate a ten-centimeter-thick iron plate, and what comes with it is... a huge recoil.

If one does not reach the physical fitness of a ninth-level warrior, it will be difficult to even fire a second shot in a short period of time.

The loud gunshots attracted the attention of the robbers. They saw their fallen companions and cried out in surprise:

"Be careful, there are other monks hiding here!"

Lin Chen didn't care about the soreness in his arms. He knew he had the upper hand, but if he didn't wipe out the Tribulation Cultivators as soon as possible, he would be the one to die by the time they could react.

then--

"Bang bang bang!"

Lin Chen fired six shots in a row, and in the dim moonlight, the bullets exploded on his body, creating five streaks of blood.

Six bullets, five hits!
After all, this was Lin Chen's first time shooting at a human with a pistol, so he couldn't guarantee a 100% hit rate.

The poor visibility at night also affected Lin Chen's accuracy.

"There are still three Tribulation Cultivators left..." Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and moved his arm again which was numbed by the recoil from the continuous shooting.

But at the same time, the only three remaining Tribulation Cultivators also locked onto Lin Chen's position through the sound of gunfire.

"He's there!"

"Damn it, he doesn't look like a monk from his attire! How did he perform such a weird spell?"

The three robbery cultivators held their knives, feeling confused and uncertain.

Obviously, as monks, they had never seen a technological product like a pistol.

Lin Chen did not hesitate and fired two more shots!

boom! clang!
Two consecutive bullets only knocked down one robbery cultivator.

“It was blocked!”

Lin Chen was shocked. It was obvious that these Tribulation Cultivators had just entered the Qi Refining Stage. How could they block bullets that were powerful enough to kill a martial artist?
He looked closely and saw a pale golden light curtain appear in front of a robbery cultivator.

There are mysterious patterns engraved on the light curtain, like an illusory shield.

When I saw him again, the robber was holding a torn paper talisman in his hand.

"It's a talisman! No wonder it can block it..."

Lin Chen's face looked a little ugly at this moment.

Because the only two remaining robbers rushed towards him quickly and turned into afterimages in the air.

This speed... is almost comparable to that of a warrior!

The distance was ten feet, and he rushed to Lin Chen in almost a breath.

At the critical moment, Lin Chen calmed down instead.

17mm new kinetic pistol, the bullet shooting speed can reach 800m/s.
But this does not mean that the enemy cannot escape.

In fact, the moving speed of these two robbery cultivators has exceeded 20m/s. It is very difficult to shoot at such a high-speed moving target!

"We must wait for them to get close! The moment we swing our sword is the best opportunity to counterattack..."

Lin Chen made a quick judgment, and sure enough, a robber cultivator holding a big knife with a ferocious face ran towards him.

The blood-stained blade was sprinkled with silver moonlight, making it even more creepy.

Two steps away, at the moment of swinging the knife - a gunshot rang out!
boom!
As the blade was about to fall, the face of the robber cultivator showed surprise, fear, and pain.

He lowered his head in disbelief, and there was a bloody hole the size of a fist on his neck.

The high-speed bullet almost blew his entire neck apart, and his body was almost torn apart...

He fell down unwillingly.

"There's only one Jie Xiu left! And I still have four bullets left..."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, if the strength of the last Tribulation Cultivator was similar to the previous ones.

He will win this battle!

He aimed his gun at the last cultivator who was ten meters away.

As his companions fell one after another, the robbery cultivator realized the power of the "magic weapon" in Lin Chen's hand, and also found the weakness of the pistol.

The robbery cultivator reacted quickly and hid behind a huge rock at the entrance of the village, covering his entire body.

Lin Chen frowned slightly when he saw this.

This is the disadvantage of the pistol.

When dealing with these robber cultivators, they had never seen a "magic weapon" like a pistol. Caught by surprise, it was almost impossible for them to resist.

But when they know how pistols kill, the threat posed by pistols is greatly reduced.

While Lin Chen was thinking about countermeasures, the voice of the robbery cultivator came from behind the boulder:
"Little brother! Your magic weapon is so powerful! You killed ten of my men so quickly."

"But how many times can you use this magic weapon?"

"The road is ahead, why don't we go our separate ways... I won't rob this village anymore, and you don't have to do anything anymore..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen shouted:

"Okay! Then go away, I won't do anything!"

Although he said this, Lin Chen did not put down the gun in his hand and his nerves were tense at all times.

Just as Lin Chen finished speaking, a shining long knife in the air flew towards him rapidly. The long knife drew a strange arc in the air and went straight for Lin Chen's head.

"Control the weapon with spirit!"

Lin Chen reacted quickly and raised his left hand.

In his left hand he held a palm-sized shield.

Y-3 type nano shield!
This is the latest product of the Institute of Science and Technology. Its defense is not top-notch and it can block 17mm bullets, but it is light enough.

A shield is worth a million Daxia coins!

Wang Xinyu's extra support saved Lin Chen's life at the critical moment.

Lin Chen triggered the start switch of the nano shield.

The palm-sized shield instantly changed shape and turned into an alloy shield with a diameter of one meter, firmly blocking the knife.

clang!
The long sword left a shallow scratch on the shield.

The robber cultivator in the distance cursed inwardly. The spiritual energy attached to the long sword was exhausted, and he could no longer control the long sword.

After blocking the long sword, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was more careful and knew that the robbery cultivators were vicious and should not be trusted, otherwise he would have been beheaded by now.

The voice of the robbery cultivator came again from afar.

"Brother, which sect are you from? How come you have so many life-saving magic weapons?"

"To be honest, I am an outer disciple of the Wild Wolf Sect. I came out to rob just to earn some spirit stones..."

"Why don't we just stop here..."

Faced with the repeated attempts of the robbery cultivator to reconcile, Lin Chen ignored him.

He was seen holding the nano shield in one hand, completely blocking his vital points.

With the other hand holding a pistol, he slowly approached the robber...

"Damn it, damn it..."

The Tribulation Cultivator also noticed Lin Chen approaching slowly, and he knew that with his strength he could not stop Lin Chen's powerful "magic weapon".

So, the robber gritted his teeth and ran out of the village.

The sudden burst of movement speed is even comparable to that of a cheetah.

Lin Chen showed no mercy. He tried to adjust his breathing and raised his gun to shoot at Jie Xiu's back.

boom!
Missed!
The bullet didn't hit Jie Xiu's back, but hit his thigh.

"what!"

The robbery cultivator screamed, but did not dare to stop and continued to run forward.

boom!
Lin Chen fired another shot.

The shot successfully hit the cultivator's back, creating a fist-sized hole in his chest and sending a large piece of flesh and blood flying.

Seeing the leader of the robbery cultivators fall to the ground, Lin Chen still did not dare to be careless.

He slowly approached with a shield in hand, until he was two or three meters away.

Lin Chen pulled the long sword off the shield and threw it far away.

The long knife hit the face of the robber leader, and half of his head was blown off.

The robbery cultivator trembled all over and then lost his voice completely.

"Finally, they're all killed..."

Lin Chen sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

Even though he is a great warrior of the Great Xia Nation...

But this was his first time killing someone after all!
He single-handedly killed eleven Tribulation Cultivators, and his tense nerves made him dizzy.

Lin Chen was very glad that he reported to the country and received support for weapons and equipment.

Otherwise, he would have been hacked to death by now...

After lying on the ground and resting for a while, Lin Chen suddenly heard footsteps.

He jumped up subconsciously, holding the pistol tightly, but saw that the person coming was a villager from Zhoucun.

More than twenty villagers, young and old, male and female, knelt on the ground.

Their clothes were disheveled and dusty, and their bodies were covered in blood and wounds.

But at this moment, there was something called hope in their eyes.

Two or three children aged eight or nine, all dirty, hid beside their parents and looked at Lin Chen with wide eyes and curiosity.

The villagers knelt on the ground and kept expressing their gratitude, holding eggs, steamed buns and other food in their hands.

"God! Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"Thank you, Master God..."

At this moment, the sun rises above the misty mountain, and the golden sunlight shines on Lin Chen's feet and on the villagers.

Lin Chen looked at this, and after a moment of silence, he looked towards the southeast.

Four hundred miles southeast of Zhoucun is the location of Changchun Gate.

"I am not a god..."

"This time, I am looking for immortals..."

Lin Chen did not accept the kindness of these villagers.

They were already poor and it was difficult for them to survive in this chaotic world.

This time they suffered an unexpected disaster because the merchant caravan they were traveling with was robbed and killed.

Lin Chen came to the caravan’s cargo, and most of the items in the cargo boxes were fine silk.

It was inconvenient for him to carry the goods, so he left them in Zhoucun.

Of course, Lin Chen took away the thousands of taels of silver notes and small change from the dead merchant.

Afterwards, he began to search through the bodies of those robbers.

The rumored storage bag was not found. These Tribulation Cultivators were of low strength, and some had not even yet drawn Qi into their bodies and entered the Qi Refining Stage.

After searching through the bodies of these dozen or so Tribulation Cultivators, Lin Chen found more than a dozen thumb-sized, crystal clear stones.

"It's a spiritual stone! In addition to the spiritual stone, there is also some spiritual sand..."

Lin Chen counted them and found there were about thirteen spirit stones and seven or eight hundred grains of spirit sand.

Spiritual sand contains weak spiritual energy and is difficult to assist in spiritual practice, but it can be used as a common currency among low-level cultivators.

One hundred grains of spiritual sand are roughly equivalent to one spiritual stone.

Apart from the spirit stones, the only valuable thing was the long sword used by the leader of the robbery cultivators.

It seems to be a low-quality magic weapon, but it is still worth some spirit stones.

He roughly looked through several ancient books. They did not record any magical skills, but only some common sense in the world of immortal cultivation.

Lin Chen did not stay in Zhoucun for too long and set off as soon as it was light.

His destination this time was Changchun Gate, four hundred miles away.

It is the only righteous sect of immortal cultivation within a thousand miles.

The triennial sect assessment is about to begin. If Lin Chen misses this opportunity, he will have to wait too long...

We must reach the foot of Changchun Mountain within six days.

With a long sword on his waist and a bag on his back, Lin Chen ran towards the southeast.

The physical strength and speed of a ninth-level martial artist are already excellent, and traveling a hundred miles a day is no problem.

So they cut through the thorns and crossed the mountains and rivers.

It was not until five days later that Lin Chen arrived at a busy market.

This market town is where mortals and monks live together, and is located at the foot of Changchun Mountain.

"We're finally here. The sect assessment should not be over yet..."

Lin Chen looked at the towering mountains and murmured.
