My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 910 Slaying, The End (Two Chapters Combined)

In fact,
Although Shen Changchuan had never practiced qigong techniques,
But by the time he arrived, he had already read through the entire book on the art of flowing water.

This "Flowing Water Kung Fu," a gift from Zhang San's wife, is not some profound qigong technique.

In Shen Changchuan's view, he should only be considered ordinary in the martial arts world.

But it is precisely this cultivation method...
This allowed Shen Changchuan to access information about the extraordinary powers of this world.
I also understood the essence of Qigong techniques in the martial arts world!

Unlike the world of cultivation,
The Qigong methods in this world only cultivate the eight extraordinary meridians, which connect to the dantian to form a small cycle and complete the transformation of essence into Qi.

As for the twelve meridians, it seems that due to the nature of the human body in this world, or perhaps due to the different primordial energy of heaven and earth, they are unable to complete their cycle.

However, when only the eight extraordinary meridians are used,
This system of Qigong requires opening the acupoints and resonating with the primordial energy of heaven and earth to unleash power beyond the ordinary!
Although I have never practiced this skill

Shen Changchuan had basically figured everything out.

This is not surprising.
All along,
Shen Changchuan had never been able to grasp the basics of Qigong in this world.

This is not because he lacks natural talent or understanding, or because he lacks sufficient background knowledge.

It was entirely because he was facing a completely different world, and a supernatural power system that was entirely different from the main world!

Standing outside the gate, facing the towering wall, there was naturally nothing one could do.

Also because of this,

When the true Qigong method of Flowing Water Kung Fu appeared before him...

It's like a door appearing in front of a towering wall.

Shen Changchuan stepped through this door into a new world within the walls!

At the same time,
With his perspective at the Divine Travel Realm level within the main world, and the vast resources provided by the progress bar panel,

In a short period of time,

Shen Changchuan's understanding of Qigong and martial arts far surpasses that of the so-called martial arts masters in the Jianghu world!
It is precisely because of this insight and understanding that
Sun Butong's all-out attack was guided by Shen Changchuan's use of force, and ultimately turned into a counterattack that slammed into his chest!
The power that erupted in that instant
Not only was the power contained in Sun Butong's punch not weakened at all, but it was also enhanced to a higher level under the operation of Shen Changchuan's "spiral force"!

boom!
Accompanied by a huge, muffled thud that shook the entire courtyard,
The air collapsed under the impact of the terrifying force!
Layer upon layer of energy erupted in all directions like a flood, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The dust, fallen leaves, and other debris on the floor were swept away, and the powerful impact caused cracks to appear in the brick floor!

The trees planted around the yard not far away bent over under the impact of the raging hurricane, almost breaking, and made a rustling sound!
puff!

Faced with such a fierce impact, Sun Butong's burst of true energy was torn apart, and the remaining force was concentrated on his chest, almost crushing his chest. He was severely injured in an instant!

He was sent flying backward by the immense force, coughing up a mouthful of blood in mid-air. His breath rapidly weakened, and his face turned as pale as paper!

It was merely a counterattack that used minimal force to achieve maximum effect.
That almost killed Sun Butong on the spot!

But at the same time,
Shen Changchuan wasn't much better off.

Even though he easily redirected the opponent's attack and turned it into a counterattack thanks to his extremely keen senses and exceptional insight,

But now, Shen Changchuan is just a child with the body of a seven or eight-year-old.

Faced with that overwhelming power, he had almost exceeded his limit of resistance in that instant!
As a result, Shen Changchuan's still-growing arms have suffered dislocations and fractures.

Fortunately, most of the force was dissipated during the exchange.

Otherwise, the consequences could be disastrous!
Fortunately,
This injury is not a big deal for Shen Changchuan.

He swung his broken and twisted arm,
With his exceptional control over himself and the proper application of his strength, the hand bones snapped back into their original positions with a resounding crack.

The muscles in my arm are still somewhat damaged and swollen, but it's not a big problem anymore.

at the same time,

Sun Butong's figure was blasted into the air and was still in mid-air, not yet landing!
A sharp glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.

We should press on with our remaining strength to pursue the fleeing enemy!
Without the slightest hesitation,
He was ruthless once he gained power.

With a stomp of his foot on the ground, his strength suddenly exploded, causing the brick floor beneath his feet to cave in and cracks to spread out as he charged forward!
boom!
Under the powerful reaction force

Shen Changchuan transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly traversing a distance of over ten zhang.

Simultaneously,

Bring your two fingers together and place them side by side to form a sword.

Under powerful control, all the energy in his body converged at his fingertips.

Focus on one point
Reaching the pinnacle!

call out!
A sharp whistling sound rang out in the air, and the airflow was pierced through, forming a white channel of airflow!

With unparalleled speed, Shen Changchuan struck Sun Butong head-on, whose body was still falling in mid-air!

puff!

Accompanied by a muffled sound,
Blood exploded in mid-air, and Sun Butong's chest was instantly pierced by a finger with extremely condensed force!
He was sent flying several feet like a rag doll before crashing to the ground.

"Me, me"

Sun Butong lay on his back on the ground, the ground beneath him stained red with blood, his gaze fixed blankly on the sky.

He seemed to want to say something, but his life force, drained away like a burst dam, prevented him from even raising his hand.

After a short while,
Consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

With wide eyes,

Don't rest your eyes!

"call!"

Until this moment,

Shen Changchuan stopped a short distance away, looked at Sun Butong, who was dead beyond any doubt, and finally let out a long breath.

His pale face had only just regained a little color.

At this moment, a slight ripple rose in his heart.

It's finally over!

Don't be fooled by Shen Changchuan's seemingly easy victory.
From the moment he launched his sneak attack to Sun Butong's counterattack and his eventual death at the hands of Shen Changchuan, less than ten breaths had passed.

They won a bit too quickly.
As a result, it seemed that Shen Changchuan had an absolute advantage in terms of combat strength.

But that's not actually the case!

in fact,

In terms of direct combat strength, Sun Butong is far superior to Shen Changchuan!
The reason why this result occurred is
It was entirely because Shen Changchuan, with his knowledge and by taking advantage of the information gap, caught Sun Butong off guard.

The first move was a mistake.

Shen Changchuan seized the opportunity to exploit the weakness, amplifying it and ultimately delivering a fatal blow to Sun Butong!
In fact,
If Sun Butong had known Shen Changchuan's abilities beforehand and hadn't underestimated him, then that punch would have been delivered as if he were facing a formidable opponent of equal strength, with only a fraction of his power remaining.

The final outcome is probably still unknown!

However, no matter what

In the end, he was the one who survived.

"Qigong. So that's how it is!"

Shen Changchuan raised his right hand,
On the tender palm, a wisp of true energy swirled between the fingers, causing the air to distort slightly.

This battle,
With a move that uses minimal force to deflect maximum force, one can forcibly control the opponent's internal energy and reverse the direction of their attack.

This daring attempt also gave Shen Changchuan a deeper understanding of true qi.

As a result,
Having already thoroughly read the entire Flowing Water Technique and understood all its contents, Shen Changchuan naturally and successfully cultivated his first wisp of true qi.

Feeling the power of true energy in his palm,

Shen Changchuan was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

Perhaps for others, it is merely the first wisp of refined true energy, which has little effect other than slightly enhancing attack power.

But for someone like him who can create amazing feats with just his strength even without any internal energy, it has many more uses!
It can be said,
After this battle, with this wisp of true energy, Shen Changchuan's strength will increase by at least 50%!
Moreover, after obtaining this first wisp of true energy...
He was able to cultivate a second and a third strand. The path to heaven in this world was right before his eyes!

Although Shen Changchuan was confident that it would only take a few years at most, he would definitely be able to obtain the internal energy cultivation method and embark on the extraordinary path of martial arts in this world,
But in this current situation,
This undoubtedly brought the timeline forward by a few years, giving him greater self-protection capabilities.

Calm your mind,

Shen Changchuan glanced at the three dumbfounded people behind him, but didn't pay much attention. He vanished in a flash.

In the original place,
Liu Ruyin and the other two struggled to their feet, staring blankly at Sun Butong, who lay on the ground with a large hole in his chest.
He looked up again at Shen Changchuan, who had entered the courtyard.
They looked at each other blankly.

Their eyes were filled with confusion.

"Although Sun Butong was only a five-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect, he was a figure with a certain reputation in the martial arts world and could be considered a master. Such a person is dead?"

Liu Ruyin murmured to herself.

"Yes, it only took ten breaths before he was killed on the spot, and it was one person who killed him."

A somewhat rugged-looking male disciple from the Liuhe Sect, standing to the side, spoke up in a daze.

Before he finished speaking,
But Liu Ruyin and the other person around him understood what he meant.

Sun Butong is dead.
He died at the hands of a child who looked to be only ten years old!
This filled them with dread.

At the same time, I also felt a sense of confusion.

Sun Butong has lived most of his life and cultivated for most of it. In the martial arts world, he can be considered a senior elder.

Such a senior tree-growing expert is incredibly powerful.
I can easily defeat all three of them within a few moves!

But it is precisely this kind of existence that...

He was killed on the spot by a ten-year-old child in less than ten breaths?
This gave them a sense of wonder!
At the same time, it also had a tremendous impact on them!

Half a lifetime of martial arts training

Able to easily suppress these younger generations,
In the end, his strength was not even as good as that of a ten-year-old child?
This world of martial arts

What's happening here? !

Could it be that

Before them, was a peerless figure who would one day sweep across the entire world about to emerge?

My mind is a jumbled mess.

What happened next,

Shen Changchuan had no idea.

The reason he rescued Liu Ruyin and the other two was simply because they were young and impetuous and still retained the sense of justice that comes with being new to the world.

Although Shen Changchuan was unaware of what had happened to them in the past few days,
But judging from the different things the others said to Sun, they could roughly guess what was going on.

They were willing to venture into the dangerous lair of the Beggars' Sect for the sake of some unfamiliar children who had nothing to do with them.

Shen Changchuan felt that,
It wouldn't be too bad if there were a few more chivalrous people like this in the world.

But that's where it ends.

He couldn't be bothered to continue his pretentious act of showing off and giving pointers like an old man.

Solve the problem of Sun Butong.

Shen Changchuan flashed into the lobby.

He pursued it all the way.
Finally, they found Zhang San's son, along with other abducted children, imprisoned in a secret passage deep inside.

Take Zhang San's son away.

They then ransacked the houses in the courtyard, finding tens of thousands of taels of silver notes and three or five martial arts manuals.

among them,

Shen Changchuan also found some letters in a secluded place.

"Black Ice Platform?"

After briefly glancing at the signature and contents of the letter, Shen Changchuan frowned.

The Beggars' Gang branch in Nanyang County, which was under the control of Sun Butong, not only trafficked and mutilated children, but also provided children with good potential to the Black Ice Platform in the north.

Black Ice Platform appears to be an intelligence and assassin organization under the command of Cao Wu, the King of Wei.

Shen Changchuan had heard some martial arts practitioners in a tavern mention these three words, and everyone around him turned pale at the mere mention of them.

"The King of Wei?"

A glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.

Without much thought, he stuffed the silver notes, martial arts manuals, and letters he had found into his pocket.
Then he took Zhang San's son and flew away from the manor.

of course,

before leaving,

Shen Changchuan also sent a telepathic message to Liu Ruyin and the other two who were meditating and recovering in the courtyard.

They were told there were still several children inside, and some gold and silver in the house, so they were asked to take good care of the aftermath.

Without waiting for their reply,
Shen Changchuan's figure disappeared into the distance, along with Zhang San's son.

Nothing unexpected happened on the way back to Nanyang County.

Amidst Zhang San's wife's profuse thanks,

Shen Changchuan handed his child over to the other party.

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. Your qigong has been a great help to me."

"It's just that the Beggar Clan elder died at my hands. I'm not afraid of the Beggar Clan's revenge, but it might implicate my sister-in-law. I wonder what my sister-in-law plans to do in the future?"

Help people to the end and send Buddha to the West.

Before leaving, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

For this,

Zhang San's wife also sighed, her face full of sorrow.

After recounting what had happened, she dared not stay in the city any longer.

She was a woman, and with Zhang San disappearing without a trace, and no man in her family to support her, she was easily bullied. If something like this happened again, she wouldn't even have time to regret it if she jumped into the river.

So she plans to go back to her hometown, taking her child with her to her parents' home. At least there will be relatives there to help her, so she won't be bullied too badly.

Seeing this, Shen Changchuan nodded and then took out three silver notes, each worth one hundred taels, from the spoils of war and handed them to the other party.

Zhang San's wife was so frightened that she dared not accept it.

However, Shen Changchuan still forced it on the other party.

He said that this was the payment for buying her qigong technique.

Anyway, this money was unexpected, so Shen Changchuan didn't feel bad about spending it, especially since he still had tens of thousands of taels left.

We met once,
Shen Changchuan isn't really that stingy.

Everything is over.
Shen Changchuan didn't have much to miss.

They left Nanyang County City directly.

"The Beggars' Sect and that Black Ice Platform. Although this trip was enjoyable, it also caused quite a bit of trouble."

"Next, let's find a place to lie low for a few years and study this qigong method carefully, and further develop our strength!"

"This body hasn't fully developed yet, which limits my strength to some extent and makes it a bit inconvenient to do things."

"I'll digest this for a few years, and only when my strength has greatly increased will it be time for me to roam the world!"

Shen Changchuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
They also have clear plans for the future.
