Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 2 Acupuncture
The fair-skinned young man and the bearded man mentioned the "Beggars' Gang". This was the first time Huang Sixi had heard of it since he traveled through time.

He was curious and wondered if the Beggars' Sect in this world had any special background.
As he thought about this, he heard the fair-skinned young man still talking smugly:

"Even if a few petty thieves show up, the masters can just send out a Manchu warrior to easily wipe out the bandit's nest. Ha, ha ha..."

When the fair-skinned young man was feeling proud, the woods on both sides suddenly emitted an intense "whoosh" sound.

He was so frightened that he shivered and his body accidentally tilted to the side of the horse's belly.

"careful!"

The bearded man was quick to hold the fair-skinned young man's arm and help him stabilize on the horse's back, while comforting him: "It's just a group of little birds, don't be alarmed, Steward Bao!"

“It’s a bird!”

The fair-skinned young man blushed and said, "I thought he was a thief!"

He grabbed the bearded man's sleeve and thanked him sincerely:
"This time I am going to the Central Plains to do business, all thanks to your protection, Master Lin. When we return to Shengjing, I will ask for a reward from the master. I dare not boast of high positions and generous salaries, but I will definitely hire you gold, silver, jade, silk, beautiful girls and servants."

"I was desperate in the Central Plains and went to Liaodong for refuge. Fortunately, Master Bao took me in and gave me a place to stay. I work for Master Bao to repay his kindness and I dare not covet any reward."

"Master, please consider your kindness separately. I am asking for a reward for our friendship."

The fair-skinned young man grasped the bearded man's wrist along his sleeve, and slapped the back of his hand with his other hand to show his closeness: "From now on, we two brothers will call each other brothers, and support each other in the Bao Mansion. Isn't it wonderful!"

The bearded man thought he was effeminate and lacked masculinity, but he also knew that he had some power in the Bao family and could not be offended.

He nodded and agreed: "You are the housekeeper of the Bao Mansion. Becoming brothers with you is a great opportunity for Lin. I couldn't ask for more."

The two of them talked about the Bao Mansion every other sentence.

As far as Huang Sixi knew, there was an old traitor named Bao Chengxian in Shengjing, who was entrusted with important tasks by the Tartars and was one of the highest-ranking Han officials in Shengjing. The 'Master Bao' mentioned by the two should be him.

At this time, the flock of birds was still flying around in the forest and the sound had not stopped. Huang Sixi felt that this was a perfect opportunity to shoot a sneak attack.

If he waited until the flock of birds flew away before taking action, with the bearded man's cautious nature, he would probably be able to easily distinguish the sound of the arrow.

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi began to draw his bow and arrow.

Who knew that the bearded man had very good ears? When he tilted his head to talk to the fair-skinned young man, it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head and sensed the cold wind coming. He turned his hand suddenly, turned his palm into a claw, and performed a move of "catching wind and shadows".

His fingers were like iron pliers, and with a click, he clamped the feather arrow.

After catching the arrow, he did not stop for a moment. He shook his wrist and used the "strike jade and knock gold" move, using the arrow as a weapon to block the second arrow flying from behind.

He was in a hurry to attack, and he used great force. He swung the arrow and the two arrows collided. After a low "chi chi!" sound, the two arrows were completely shattered, and the arrows broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

His hands seemed as fast as the wind and he easily blocked two hidden arrows, but his crisis was not over.

Because Huang Sixi shot three arrows in a row, the bearded man only broke two of them. The third arrow was hit at a tricky angle, close to the horse's back, and hit him in the lower back.

He had no time to block the arrow, so he stepped on the stirrup and tried to jump off the horse to avoid the arrow, but his wrist was grabbed by the fair-skinned young man.

When the traitor saw the bearded man blocking the arrow, he knew that there were strong men blocking the way. He was frightened and terrified, his body was shaking and twitching, and he couldn't control himself, so he naturally couldn't let go.

If the bearded man wanted to jump on his horse, he had to get rid of the fair-skinned young man first, but while he was delayed, Huang Sixi's feather arrows had already rushed over.

The bearded man was obstructed and unable to jump up for a while. He was shot in the waist and abdomen by an arrow. He immediately bent down, trying to take advantage of the situation to fall off the horse and use the horse's body for cover.

But Huang Sixi did not give him a chance. The fourth arrow was as fast as thunder and accurately pierced the back of his head.

The arrow shot at the bearded man and killed him instantly.

Huang Sixi had obviously learned from the experience of fighting the Tartar cavalry that shooting the neck might turn the tables, but shooting the head was the safest. After the bearded man died, his body fell towards the fair-skinned young man.

The traitor felt a pool of hot blood flying towards him and splashing on his face. He reached out to touch it and was frightened out of his wits.

He wanted to push the bearded man away, dismount and run away, but the two men and their horses were too close to each other, and the bearded man was so strong that he pressed on his shoulders and dragged him off the horse.

Unfortunately, the bearded man was holding the reins with one hand, and after he died, his hand was stiff and he couldn't loosen it. When his body fell to the ground, he pulled the foal over and it fell down with a loud bang.

The huge horse's body smashed straight down on the fair-skinned young man's legs, and the sound of broken bones was heard under the horse.

The fair-skinned young man wailed like a pig being slaughtered, making "ooh-oh" and "aww-aw" sounds.

"Call your mom!"

Huang Sixi walked over with a bow in his hand and stomped hard on the horse's belly, increasing the pressure on the broken leg.

The fair-skinned young man felt unbearable pain and fainted with a "click". He didn't even have time to look at Huang Sixi's appearance.

Huang Sixi had the idea of torturing him and did not kill him immediately.

When Huang Sixi shot arrows earlier, he only shot the bearded man and ignored the fair-skinned young man, because he saw that the fair-skinned young man posed no threat of force.

Huang Sixi glanced at the bearded man's body and thought, "This big man can catch an arrow with his bare hands and break an arrow with one move. He must have developed internal strength. If we fight head-on, I don't think I will be his match."

But Huang Sixi's main attack is assassination. If the bearded man can steadily receive his three consecutive arrows, he will hide and escape instead of engaging in a head-on battle with the bearded man.

It was just the bearded man's bad luck that he met a stupid teammate like the fair-skinned young man, which gave Huang Sixi a chance to score the winning goal.

Huang Sixi cleaned up the battlefield as usual and saw the green bamboo stick hanging on the horse's belly at a glance.

This green bamboo stick was the relic of Bearded Man. The moment Bearded Man died, words began to appear on the green bamboo stick.

Huang Sixi took the stick and began to read.

The martial arts skills recorded on the stick are called "Acupoint Striking Kung Fu".

The bearded man was called the 'boss elder' of the Beggars' Sect by the fair-skinned young man. It sounded very impressive, but in fact he did not inherit much martial arts, and the only thing he had learned in his life was a method of acupuncture.

The so-called acupoint hitting means causing effective damage by striking the opponent's various acupoints. Because the functions of acupoints around the human body are different, the damage after acupoint hitting will naturally be very different.

For example, the mute points, sleeping points and numb points, when pressed, only restrict the opponent's body functions, and there are generally no residual injuries after the points are released.

But if you hit the paralysis point or the death point, the person will either die or become disabled.

There are some vicious masters in the world who have developed unique acupoint-closing techniques. Once they are hit, the acupoints cannot be undone at all.

Of course, if you want to learn acupressure, you must know how to identify the major acupuncture points throughout the body. The process is very difficult and complicated.

However, the introduction to acupressure is not to identify the acupoints, but to lay the foundation and cultivate internal strength first.

One must develop a combination of hard and soft internal strength before one can press and release the acupoints on others.

If you don't use your internal strength, no matter how accurately you identify the acupoints, there will be no effect when you press them.
