Becoming a Saint Starting with the Chasing Wind Leg Technique

Chapter 113 Leg Technique Perfected, Single-handedly Slaying Two Body Refining Realm Realm Realm Experts

North of the city, the entrance to the abandoned iron mine.

The night was as dark as ink. Lu Beichen and Song Jing stood side by side, gazing at the bottomless entrance to the mine, which exuded a chilling atmosphere and a faint smell of blood.

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the rustling of the night wind through the wild grass.

"The intelligence is correct. In the past two weeks, no fewer than two hundred corpses have gone missing from the mass graves around here, and most of them were young and strong men." Lu Beichen lowered his voice, his eyes flashing with cold light. "The only ones who could remove so many corpses silently and cover up the traces are those remnants of the Blood Lotus Cult who are experts in this field. This place is most likely their new alchemy nest."

Song Jing looked up, his gaze calm and serene. After days of investigation, combining intelligence from the Commandant's Office with his perception of the earth's energy and the flow of medicinal herbs, he finally pinpointed this location.

He could sense two auras deep within the mine, far more powerful than before, yet also more sinister and violent, like ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness.

"Senior Brother Nie received the message and is on his way from the inner city. He should arrive in half an hour at most." Lu Beichen looked at Song Jing, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Brother Song, they may have already broken through to the Body Refining Realm. Should we—"

"There's no time to wait." Song Jing interrupted him, his tone calm but with an undeniable determination. "If the pill is successful, they may leave immediately or take it to consolidate their strength. Half an hour is too long; too many variables could arise. Brother Lu, you stay here to meet up with Senior Brother Nie, and just in case, gather manpower to seal off the outer perimeter to prevent them from escaping or resorting to desperate measures to harm the people."

"Then you—" Lu Beichen was startled.

"I'll go in and hold them off." Song Jing strode into the mine, his figure appearing tall and solitary in the night. "If I can't beat them, I can leave. They can't catch me."

Watching Song Jing's retreating figure, Lu Beichen recalled his unpredictable speed and felt somewhat reassured. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Brother Song, be extremely careful! If things become unmanageable, retreat immediately! I'll send another urgent signal to urge Senior Brother Nie!"

Song Jing waved his hand, and with a flash, he disappeared into the mine like a shadow blending into the darkness.

Deep within the mine, a hidden cave of subterranean fire.

Li Wujiu sat opposite Qin Yue. Although his aura was still somewhat weak and unstable, the pressure he exuded, which belonged to the Flesh Refining Realm, had been largely stabilized.

Before the two, the last trace of fire in the dark red alchemy furnace had just died out, and a chilling energy fluctuation emanated from within the furnace.

"In another half day, the pills will be completely stable, and we will be able to fully consolidate our realms, and perhaps even advance further!" Li Wujiu's eyes flashed with bloodlust as he greedily stared at the pill furnace.

Qin Yue grinned maliciously: "At that time, this outer city will be ours for the taking! First kill Song Jing, then slaughter the martial arts school, a bloodbath—"

Before he finished speaking, his expression changed drastically, and he and Li Wujiu turned their heads sharply at the same time to look at the entrance of the passage!

A figure in a green robe had appeared silently there, calmly watching them. It was Song Jingyi. "It's you two rats from the gutter again." Li Wujiu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, yet also carried a hint of cat-and-mouse mockery. "You've got the road to heaven but you choose the gate to hell! Song Jingyi, you little bastard, do you think we're still at the peak of the Copper Skin Realm?"

He stepped forward, unleashing the full pressure of his early-stage Flesh Refining Realm cultivation. A chilling, bloody aura filled the entire cave, and dust fell from the stone walls. "Open your dog eyes and see clearly! I am now at the Flesh Refining Realm! Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"

Qin Yue also stood up, cracking his neck, his joints popping, his flesh-refining realm qi and blood surging, carrying a savage and oppressive aura: "Boy, today is your death day! I will crush every bone in your body, drain your blood, and offer it as a sacrifice to Brother Han Sha and Li Wei!"

Lu Beichen had already quietly crept nearby. Upon hearing the words "Flesh Refining Realm," he was greatly alarmed and shouted sharply, "Brother Song, run! They've broken through; we can't fight them head-on! Wait for Senior Brother Nie!"

However, Song Jing seemed not to hear. He carefully sensed the aura emanating from the two people opposite him, which was several times stronger but also carried the unstable and sinister aura caused by the forced activation of pills, and nodded slightly.

"The Flesh Refining Realm—it's indeed much stronger than the Copper Skin Realm." He muttered to himself, then raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife. "However, that's all."

"How arrogant!" Li Wujiu laughed in fury, his figure flashing like a ghost. A withered hand glowed with a thick, bloody light, carrying a foul stench and corrosive power, and went straight for Song Jing's face! The speed and power far exceeded what he had at the Bronze Skin Realm! It was the Blood Lotus Sect's ultimate technique, the Blood Demon Claw!

Qin Yue also launched his attack simultaneously, pushing his Black Mountain Fist Technique to its limit. His fist energy was condensed into a tangible substance, carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, blocking Song Jing's retreat! The two attacked with deadly moves from the very first move, their coordination impeccable, aiming to kill Song Jing instantly!

However, faced with this combined attack that could drive any Bronze-Skin Realm martial artist to despair, Song Jing merely moved his feet slightly.

Chasing Wind Leg Technique - Perfected! Combined with Nine Shadow Steps - Beginner Level!

Three incredibly solid afterimages suddenly exploded on the spot!

His true form, as if teleporting, moved with a terrifying speed nearly twice as fast as Li Wujiu's blood claws, slipping through the gap in their attacks in the blink of an eye and appearing beside Qin Yue!

At the same time, his right leg swept towards Qin Yue's waist and ribs like a whip, without any fancy moves! Wind and Thunder Leg Technique - Thunderclap Leg!

"What?!" Qin Yue exclaimed in shock. How could the other party be so fast?!

He hastily changed his move, slamming his iron fist down to meet the kick head-on.

"Bang—Crack!"

Fists and legs collided with a deafening explosion! Qin Yue felt an overwhelming force, far beyond his imagination, surge towards him. His protective true energy vibrated violently, and he felt a sharp pain in his fist bones. He was shaken and staggered backward, his blood churning!

He was shocked: How come this kid's power seems even stronger and more solid than mine, which just broke through to the Body Refining Realm?!

Li Wujiu's pupils also shrank suddenly; his claw attack completely missed!

Seeing Qin Yue being repelled, he roared and unleashed his Blood Demon Claw again, aiming straight for Song Jing's back. The claw's wind was fierce and carried a pungent, fishy smell.

Song Jing neither dodged nor avoided, but even slightly turned his body to the side, revealing his back to Li Wujiu. At the same time, he moved again, sticking close to Qin Yue like a bone-deep infection, and kicked out with his leg again!

"You're courting death!" Li Wujiu was overjoyed at the sight, and the blood on his claws shone even brighter as he fiercely grabbed Song Jing's back!

"clang--!!!"

A resounding, metallic clang, like a giant bell being struck, suddenly exploded in the cave! The sound waves rolled on, making Li Wujiu's eardrums ache!

He felt as if his claw, powerful enough to shatter refined iron and corrode flesh, was gripping a piece of ancient black iron!

No, it's harder than black iron!

More resilient!

An overwhelming force of shock came from behind, making his fingers numb, and the blood-red light on his claws was mostly dispersed by the suddenly lit pale golden light membrane!

It only left a few charred marks on the other party's blue robe, without even breaking the skin!

"What?!" Li Wujiu screamed, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets. "A body-strengthening martial arts technique?! At the Great Perfection stage?! How is that possible?!"

He recognized the pale golden luster as a sign of extremely high mastery of external martial arts!

But to have mastered external martial arts to such an extent that one could withstand a full-force attack from a martial artist in the Body Refining Realm without sustaining a scratch is simply unheard of!

In the instant he lost his composure, Song Jingna's kick aimed at Qin Yue had already landed!

"boom!"

Qin Yue's arms, which he had barely managed to raise, were shaken apart like rotten wood when they came into contact with the leg force that contained the power of wind and thunder. The leg force went straight in and imprinted itself on his chest with wolfish ferocity!

"Pfft—!" Qin Yue coughed up blood, his chest caved in, and several of his ribs were broken. He flew backward like a rag doll, crashing heavily into the stone wall behind him before sliding to the ground. His breath instantly weakened, and his eyes were filled with horror, fear, and disbelief.

"You—your Chasing Wind Leg Technique—is it perfected?! And that movement technique—could it be the Nine Shadow Step?! You've actually mastered it?!" Li Wujiu's voice changed as if he had seen a ghost.

In his youth, he had witnessed Lin Xuanyue of the Chasing Wind Martial Arts School demonstrate the Chasing Wind Leg Technique at its perfected state; its fluidity and ease...

The feeling of speed as swift as a startled swan is exactly the same as that of the young man before me!

And those ghostly afterimages were clearly the Nine Shadow Steps, the secret technique of the Mad Wind Martial Arts School!

This young man, in such a short time, not only perfected the Chasing Wind Leg Technique, but also mastered the Nine Shadow Steps, and further perfected a horizontal martial art, as well as the Wind and Thunder Leg Technique.

This isn't some genius from the outer city; this is a monster!

Song Jing did not answer. He moved again, using the Nine Shadow Steps in combination with the Perfected Chasing Wind Leg Technique. His speed was so fast that he left a series of afterimages in the cave, instantly closing in on the mentally disturbed Li Wujiu.

Li Wujiu roared and pushed the Blood Transformation Demon Art to its limit, unleashing a frenzied barrage of blood claws and blood palms in an attempt to force Song Jing back.

However, Song Jing did not engage in a direct confrontation with him, relying instead on his speed, which was nearly twice as fast as Song Jing's, and the absolute defense of his Great Perfection Golden Bell Shield. Like a persistent ailment, he relentlessly attacked Li Wujiu.

The leg movements were like a raging storm, each strike powerful and heavy, accompanied by wind and thunder.

Most of Li Wujiu's palm strikes missed their mark, and when they did hit, they were easily blocked by the Golden Bell Shield, causing his own qi and blood to become unstable.

"Damn it! Damn it! How can this kid's defense be so tough?! How can he be so fast?!" Li Wujiu grew increasingly alarmed and desperate as the fight progressed. Despite possessing the cultivation of the Flesh Refining Realm, he couldn't hit or damage his opponent. Instead, he was being shaken by the opponent's unparalleled leg techniques, causing his internal organs to shift and his blood to churn. Qin Yue, severely injured, collapsed to the ground, no longer able to fight.

"It's over." A cold glint flashed in Song Jing's eyes. He seized an opening where Li Wujiu was caught off guard and unleashed the ultimate killing move of the Perfected Wind Chasing Leg Technique: Wind Chasing Lightning!

His body and leg shadow seemed to merge into one, transforming into a true cyan lightning bolt. With a speed beyond the limits of the naked eye, it pierced through Li Wujiu's layers of blood shadow defense and slammed his foot hard into his dantian!

"Pfft!" Li Wujiu's protective true energy shattered like paper, and his dantian was instantly pierced and shattered by the violent wind and thunder force contained in this kick! He let out an extremely miserable scream, and the blood light around his body instantly dissipated. His aura plummeted like a deflated balloon, and he collapsed to the ground. The life force in his eyes quickly disappeared, leaving only boundless resentment and unwillingness.

Song Jing didn't even glance at Li Wujiu, turning instead to Qin Yue, who was struggling to his feet. Qin Yue's eyes were filled with terror as he hissed, "Don't kill me! I'll surrender! I'll tell you—"

Song Jing didn't give him a chance to finish speaking; a clean and swift Thunder Kick ended his life. He had no pity for this kind of wicked demon who used living people to refine elixirs and was utterly devoid of conscience.

Inside the cave, silence returned, broken only by the lingering warmth of the underground fire pit and the thick stench of blood.

Just as Song Jing had finished off the two men and his breathing had calmed down, a rapid whooshing sound came from outside the cave.

"Brother Song! Hold on! Senior Brother Nie has arrived!" Lu Beichen's shout came, and then two figures rushed into the cave.

It was Lu Beichen, and a senior brother named Nie, who was dressed in the uniform of the Inner City Commandant's Office, with a cold face and a profound and imposing aura, and was clearly a master in the early stage of the Flesh Refining Realm.

The two rushed into the cave, mentally prepared for a fierce battle and even for the possibility of Song Jing being seriously injured or killed.

Lu Beichen was extremely anxious, fearing that he would be a step too late.

However, the scene before them froze them in place, as if they had been frozen in place.

Inside the cave, everything was in disarray. Beside the hidden fire pit, the dark red alchemical furnace still retained some warmth.

On the ground lay two lifeless corpses, their biggest targets on this trip—Li Wujiu and Qin Yue, both at the early stage of the Flesh Refining Realm!

The two died tragically; Li Wujiu's dantian was shattered, and Qin Yue's sternum was completely broken. Clearly, they were both killed by the fierce and domineering leg techniques.

Beside the corpse, Song Jingzheng slowly stopped his movements. His blue robe was stained with some dust and a few drops of blood. His breathing was slightly uneven, but his eyes were clear, and there were no obvious signs of serious injury on his body.

Lu Beichen opened his mouth wide, pointed at the corpse on the ground, then at Song Jing, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat, unable to utter a complete word for a long time.

He had anticipated countless tragic scenarios, but he never expected that Song Jing, all alone, would turn the tables and kill two thugs who had just broken through to the Flesh Refining Realm in this demon's lair!

And judging from the looks of it, it seems they didn't pay a huge price?!

Senior Brother Nie's pupils also contracted, and for the first time, a violent emotional fluctuation appeared on his cold face.

His sharp gaze swept across the battlefield traces and landed on Song Jing. In particular, when he sensed the powerful blood and qi in Song Jing, which was restrained yet still perceptible, as well as the perfect essence of the Chasing Wind Leg Technique and the faint golden luster flowing under his skin, his eyes flashed with disbelief.

"This—this is—" Senior Brother Nie's voice was hoarse as he looked at Lu Beichen, "Beichen, is this the young man from the outer city you mentioned, Song Jing?"

Lu Beichen finally found his voice, but it still trembled: "It was him—Senior Brother Nie, Brother Song—he—he killed Li Wujiu and Qin Yue—two Body Refining Realm cultivators?"

Although he personally witnessed Song Jing defeat Li Wei, gain a slight advantage in his sparring match with him, and even instantly kill Han Sha.

But those are two Body Refining Realm cultivators! Even if they've just broken through and their realms aren't stable yet, they're still genuine second-realm martial artists! There's a fundamental difference between them and those in the Bronze Skin Realm!

How did Song Jing manage to do that?

Song Jing turned around, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two men, and said calmly, "Brother Lu, Senior Brother Nie. I have successfully completed my mission. Li Wujiu and Qin Yue have been executed. The alchemy furnace is here; there may still be some unfinished evil pills. Please examine them."

The calm words, however, sounded like thunder to Lu Beichen and Senior Brother Nie.

Looking at the two gradually cooling corpses of the Refining Realm cultivators on the ground, and then at the calm young man in the blue robe in front of him, who seemed to have only done a trivial matter.

Lu Beichen and Senior Brother Nie exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock, bewilderment, and a hint of—a wavering of their understanding of the world—in each other's eyes.

They rushed as fast as they could, hoping to hold off the powerful enemy and wait for reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, the powerful enemy had already been killed by the young man alone.

The boy they thought they needed to protect at all costs was able to challenge and kill opponents of higher levels effortlessly, possessing the terrifying strength to slaughter those in the Flesh Refining Realm.

When did such a thing appear in this outer city—a true dragon?
