Chapter 538 Quickly Use the Dog-Beating Stick Technique

Zhu Wu looked at the five empty wooden plaques in his hand and felt delighted.

Before letting the lame beggar go, Zhu Wu didn't forget to threaten him. After the lame beggar swore an oath, he gave him ten taels of silver as hush money. He used both carrot and stick tactics.

After the lame beggar walked away, Chen Da and Yang Chun emerged from the shadows. Zhu Wu handed them blank cards and asked them to check if there was anything wrong with them.

Chen Da and Yang Chun checked the ironwood plaque but found nothing wrong. They then returned to their guesthouse room, took out the carving knife they had bought earlier, and began carving names and titles onto the plaque.

"You can't use your real name," Zhu Wu reminded him.

“But choosing a name isn’t easy either,” Chen Da said.

"How about this, the three of us can just swap names?"

“I’ll change my name to Zhu Da, and you guys will change yours to Chen Chun and Yang Wu,” Zhu Wu said.

"That's good!"

Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun worked hard to carve fake names on the iron and wooden plaque, but all they managed to get were some wood shavings, as if they were chiseling words on an iron block.

"Is Shi Dalang even human? He carved the name on such a hard wooden plaque without even using much force." Chen Da's hand hurt from carving, so he put down the carving knife and thought about finding a less strenuous method.

"Let's use a hammer?" Yang Chun said.

"Aren't you afraid of smashing it to pieces?" Chen Da said.

"Anyway, we still have two empty cards left. If they break, we can replace them. Let's try to break them with a hammer first," Yang Chun said.

"Let's give it a try." Zhu Wu also put down his carving knife. He was nicknamed the Divine Strategist and was not known for his martial arts skills.

Chen Da secured the wooden plaque to the table, Yang Chun controlled the carving knife, and Zhu Wu carefully hammered it down.

The three of them were very nervous.

Chen Da was afraid that the carving knife would slip and hurt his hand, Yang Chun was afraid that Zhu Wu would hit his hand with the hammer, and Zhu Wu was afraid that he would break the wooden sign with one blow.

After working for two or three hours, they managed to carve the name onto the first wooden plaque.

"It still needs some polishing," Zhu Wu said, examining the wooden plaque.

"After chiseling the remaining two pieces, polish them carefully," Chen Da said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

As darkness fell, the three discussed it and decided to start work the next day.

There were still a few days until August 18th, and the candlelight was dim at night. If the carving was ruined, all the work would be for nothing.

If others knew they were doing this, they would definitely be laughed at loudly.

But this identity plaque is crucial to their future; they've staked everything on it. Not for anything else, but to gain a chance to comprehend the Martial God Stele.

……

……

Lin Chong and Lu Junyi's caravan entered Hangzhou through the north gate.

Lu Junyi dismounted and walked ahead, with his adopted son Yan Xiaoyi following beside him. Lin Chong returned the horse that Lu Junyi had lent him and bid farewell to Lu Junyi.

"Where is Instructor Lin staying? I'd like to come find you," Lu Junyi asked Lin Chong.

“I have a friend who has arrived in Yuhang first. Why don’t you tell me where your caravan is staying, Brother Lu? I’ll come find you,” Lin Chong said.

"That's good. The caravan's lodging has already been arranged, and the location is..."

Lin Chong memorized the location and bowed to Lu Junyi in farewell.

Upon entering the city, Lin Chong opened his senses. He clearly felt Shi Jin's magnetic field emanating from the south gate, drawing him in.

"Oh……"

Lin Chong walked towards the south gate.

As soon as Lin Chong stepped out of the city gate, he saw a large circle of people surrounding the city, with people standing in the trees all around, all looking into the circle.

Lin Chong hopped on tiptoe to look into the crowd and hastily saw Shi Jin fighting with a burly, dark-skinned man.

Shi Jin wielded a staff, while the burly man used double axes; the two fought fiercely.

Lin Chong used his strength to climb the city wall, and from there he looked down at Shi Jin's battle situation.

The burly man wielded his double axes like a black whirlwind, each move driven entirely by instinct.

Lin Chong realized that the reason Shi Jin was unable to defeat his opponent was because Shi Jin still lacked experience in real combat.

The burly, dark-skinned man fought with a reckless ferocity, which made Shi Jin very uneasy.

If things go wrong, Shi Jin could kill the big, dark-skinned man.

"He's quite the burly man," Lin Chong commented on the large, dark-skinned fellow. "Shi Jin—!!"

Lin Chong shouted at Shi Jin below, causing Shi Jin to look up at Lin Chong.

"Brother Lin!"

"Use the staff technique your master taught you!!" Lin Chong shouted.

"Oh...yes!!"

With Lin Chong by his side, Shi Jin instantly had someone to rely on when facing the reckless Black Whirlwind Li Kui, and his stance of holding the staff with both hands immediately changed to holding it with one hand.

The Dog-Beating Stick Technique flowed through Shi Jin's mind. When Shi Jin looked at Black Whirlwind Li Kui again, wasn't this just a mad dog going crazy?

"You're afraid of me even with two-handed staffs, but you think you can beat me with a one-handed staff?!" Li Kui shouted.

"I have found your weakness!" Shi Jin's confidence soared.

"Come on, come on!!" Li Kui shouted.

Beat the dog's head with a stick.

Shi Jin struck Li Kui on the head, startling Li Kui, who immediately tried to chop at Shi Jin's staff with his axe.

Turn the dog upside down.

Shi Jin flicked Li Kui's axe upwards and threw it aside.

Shoulders pressed down, back bent.

When Li Kui swung his other axe, Shi Jin used his stick to block Li Kui's axe, using the force against him.

Slant the dog's back.

Shi Jin moved to Li Kui's side, his staff swaying as he launched a series of attacks on Li Kui's shoulders, arms, and head.

Li Kui withstood Shi Jin's blows with his stick and charged at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin pulled his staff back and unleashed another move, "Disrupting the Dog's Den," at Li Kui.

Where is the doghouse?
The doghouse is the key point, the place where mad dogs return to guard.

Li Kui's eyes widened as he glanced at Shi Jin.

I never expected that the only disciple of the great hero Nan Yan would use a move that attacks the lower body.

Beat the two dogs with a stick!
Shi Jin used a stick to whip Li Kui's calves.

This hit Li Kui where he was least prepared, reminding him of the time when he was five or six years old and his mother scolded him. His double axes were no match for the attacking leg.

With his final blow, Shi Jin struck Li Kui squarely on the buttocks, sending Li Kui tumbling head over heels and sending his double axes flying from his hands.

Li Kui stood up, covered in dust and grime, muttering curses under his breath.

"I, Tie Niu, admit defeat."

"But I'm not willing to admit defeat."

"Hey you on the city wall, come down here! Fight me, Tie Niu!!"

Li Kui turned around and pointed at Lin Chong, who was clinging to the city wall watching the battle.

Lin Chong smiled, pushed off the city wall with all his might, and landed gracefully in front of Shi Jin and Li Kui.

"Brother Lin!!"

Shi Jin stepped forward and greeted him.

"Thanks to Brother Lin for saving the day," Shi Jin said.

"Sigh." Lin Chong raised his hand to stop him.

“You will still win in the end, it will just be slower and less exciting,” Lin Chong said.

"Young Master Shi, who is this Brother Lin? Please introduce him to us!" someone in the crowd shouted to Shi Jin.

"Brother Tie Niu..."

Shi Jin didn't leave Li Kui aside.

"Let me introduce this hero to you!"

"Brother Lin's full name is Lin Chong. He was also the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Bianjing. He was an old acquaintance of my master!"
