Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 26 A Hundred Pace Shots
"boom……"

The Quchi acupoint of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian suddenly opened.

A powerful and vast energy surged forth, as if a small pond had opened up at his elbow.

Lu Wubing felt that his strength had increased slightly.

At the same time, the internal energy flowing through the two meridians and the dantian also became much more powerful.

What was most surprising was that he found his eyes seemed to have become much brighter.

The surrounding scenery became clearer, and seemed to have gained some more vibrant colors.

He knew that this was the evolution that the body would experience after internal energy opened up the meridians.

Once the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian is unblocked, it can calm the mind and sharpen the thinking.

The Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian governs appetite and digestion, and enhances the five senses.

It's not fully operational yet, but benefits are already emerging.

However, it's not entirely without its downsides...

With the help of the powerful medicinal properties of wild ginseng, he opened six acupoints in succession. After opening the Yangming Large Intestine Meridian of his hand to eleven acupoints, he found that his arm meridians were experiencing a faint, phantom pain.

It feels swollen, tingly, and numb, with a tearing sensation.

This could be an illusion.

But it truly affects one's mind and body.

Moreover, this phantom pain cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Only after the body gradually adapts and the meridians stabilize can the orifices be opened and the meridians expanded again.

"No wonder Senior Sister Xiaolan said that the Heavenly Star Sect's [Dripping Water Force] is just the foundation for beginners, and you can't really progress that quickly."

The thickness of the meridians determines the speed at which one can nourish and gather Qi...

After all, this technique aims for a steady, long-term approach, avoiding any problems.

"The sooner we can learn the Heavenly River Orthodox Method, the better."

I've heard that this technique can expand the meridians to several times their original width, cultivating the Qi channels to be like a long river, and the internal energy to be like surging tides...

Not only was his training unstoppable, but his attacks were equally devastating, renowned for their powerful, heavy-hitting force and the ability to send flying bricks.

Thinking of this, Lu Wubing's heart almost flew to Tianxing Peak.

"In that case, let's deal with the so-called 'Three Heroes of Chaoyang' as soon as possible and embark on our journey."

He glanced at the sky; the sun had set and the moon had risen, and the night birds were returning to their nests. He finished his practice and stood up, only to find that Senior Sister Xiaolan and Gu Dashi were already quietly waiting for him.

Ouyang Lan carried a long sword on her back, her clothes were neatly bound, she looked heroic and spirited, and her eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.

Gu Dashi's eyes were bloodshot, like a volcano about to erupt.

He carried a large bow in his hand, his arm veins bulging, and a quiver on his back; his breathing was slightly heavy.

"I've been waiting for you for a while."

Ouyang Lan's voice carried a hint of bitterness.

She was extremely envious.

After practicing internal energy cultivation and meditating for half an hour, my mind was already agitated and I was mentally exhausted. All I wanted to do was lie there and not move.

However, the junior brother was able to maintain his internal energy cultivation for an hour on his first attempt.

Now it's even worse; they've been cultivating for an hour and a half.

When he finished practicing, he was still full of energy and had plenty of strength left.

During this period, his mental strength should have been greatly enhanced and strengthened once again.

Ouyang Lan thought to herself.

Taoist cultivation emphasizes the unity of body and soul, cultivating both the body and the soul.

However, nowadays, most martial artists cultivate internal energy, or at most, both external and internal styles.

There is really no cultivation method that allows one to directly cultivate the soul.

Even the Heavenly Star Sect doesn't have it.

However, experienced masters have practiced this; upon reaching the Innate Realm, one's martial will is refined. Regardless of which cultivation method is used as the foundation, it involves the cultivation of the soul and spirit.

Ouyang Lan certainly knew this knowledge.

For this reason, they were particularly surprised by Lu Wubing's increased mental strength.

Is it a swelling or pain in the meridians?

"That's right. This tonic is not easy to take. It is estimated that after opening the six orifices, you will need to rest for three days."

Lu Wubing said dejectedly.

"Six, six orifices..."

Ouyang Lan's eyebrows twitched slightly. She thought to herself, "I've only opened four acupoints. Why are you so outstanding, Junior Brother?"

I also took a small piece of ginseng slices.

Where did the medicine's effects go?

She blinked hard, deciding to temporarily avoid discussing cultivation with her junior brother.

Besides, I'm a dog.

Let's think about how to kill the thieves.

“When I was transporting grain, I went to the mountain stronghold and made a point of noting the locations of my spies in various places,” Gu Dashi said coldly, shaking the large bow in his hand. He added, “Back then, the Chen brothers became my disciples because they wanted to learn the art of archery… I’m good at long-range attacks, so I’ll take care of the spies.”

"Alright, before the news of Chen Gong and the others' deaths reaches Chaoyang Village, I'll leave the task of luring the enemy to Brother Gu."

This was a pre-arranged plan.

Chaoyangzhai is located on Chaoyang Ridge in Hengshan Mountain. The mountain walls are towering, and there is only one road leading to the top of the mountain, which is very difficult to travel.

Furthermore, their second chieftain, Ge Zhong, came from the military and knew how to manage troops and deploy defenses, so he guarded the mountain road very well.

If you really want to force your way in, it's not impossible.

However, doing so would not only increase the risks but also potentially provoke the thugs on the mountain.

If the other side discovers that they are too strong and decides to kill to vent their anger, that would be bad.

Many women were kidnapped on the mountain; they were all innocent victims.

Of course, the most important thing is that Third Sister and Second Dog, who went out to pick wild vegetables, were also captured by the bandits of the mountain stronghold...

They used every means at their disposal to force the skilled archer and hunter Gu Dashi to join their gang.

"Don't worry, as long as Chen Sanyang and Ge Zhong don't really feel threatened, they won't take any drastic measures against your wife and children in advance."

This is based on considerations of human nature.

Given the imposing and menacing aura of Chaoyang Village, Chen Sanyang held himself in high esteem. Whenever he was harassed by Gu Dashi's arrows, his first thought was to capture him personally and torture him severely.

Ask again, why were you so strict when you were teaching the skills back then?

The tragic childhood experiences and the inferiority complex of their youth have transformed the brothers Chen Sanyang and Chen Gong into vicious wolves that gnaw at their souls.

They acted recklessly, cruelly and ruthlessly.

Finally, they chose to establish their village at Hengshan Chaoyang Peak, not far from Gujia Village.

The implied meaning is quite obvious.

They want to get back up wherever they fall.

They longed to see their familiar fellow villagers prostrate at their feet.

Perhaps they themselves didn't even realize it.

Deep down, what I want is not only to feel triumphant and unrestrained, but also to gain someone's genuine approval.

I want to tell Gu Dashi that you made a mistake.

Do you regret it?
Perhaps what Chen Sanyang most wanted to see was Gu Dashi kneeling and begging for mercy.

Furthermore, in front of him, they killed his son and took his wife.

This is how Lu Wubing deduced the inner thoughts of the leader Chen Sanyang after hearing Gu Dashi's story.

There is also Chen Gong.

This person was immediately riddled with holes by Senior Sister Xiaolan's "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles," so there's not much more to say about him.

"puff……"

The night was cool as water, and the mountain wind howled.

A long, white-feathered arrow swept through the misty fog and pierced the throat of a sentry in the mountain stronghold.

From a distance, the man was seen clutching his neck and falling headfirst to the ground.

It hasn't fallen to the ground yet...

On the watchtower seven or eight zhang away, another villager was also covering his throat and hissing.

"Truly a master archer who can hit a target from a hundred paces away."

Lu Wubing and Ouyang Lan hid behind a large tree, watching quietly through the branches.

As the night watchmen in the stronghold fell one by one, torches lit up the landscape, and at the same time, roars echoed from within the stronghold.

……

Soon, a burly man, carrying a large stick and with a muscular build like a bear, leaped down from the stockade wall, shirtless.

The man wielded his long staff swiftly, smashing the incoming arrow to pieces with a single blow.

His muscles gleamed with an oily sheen, like iron armor.

Besides the burly man leading the way, there was another person, dressed in silver armor, dragging a silver spear behind him, exuding a chilling aura, and following closely behind like a venomous snake.

"It's much easier than I imagined."

Lu Wubing took a deep breath; the plan to lure the snake out of its hole worked unexpectedly well.

It's unclear whether these two are overconfident or simply used to being arrogant and conceited.

They were completely unprepared.

"It's much better than I imagined."

Ouyang Lan became slightly nervous.

Having encountered many more figures in the martial arts world, she naturally has her own way of judging strength.

"External martial arts, Golden Thread Robe, sixth-grade Marrow Cleansing Realm, a thousand-pound divine strength."

……

Asking for a monthly ticket.
