Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

The inn was so quiet that you could almost hear the candlelight burning inside the lanterns.

The burly man's gaze swept across the inn, like a dull knife scraping across everyone's face.

Ultimately, the blame fell on the group of bodyguards.

"Hand him over." The burly man's voice was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.

"Young Master Lu said he's willing to take her as a concubine. If she goes back obediently, she can enjoy wealth and luxury. But if he forces me to take action, that wouldn't look so good..."

A martial artist from the Xu family bowed and smiled obsequiously, his voice trembling slightly:

"Sir, we don't have the person you're looking for. We're a legitimate security escort agency, specializing in cargo transport."

The burly man glanced at him, his lips twitching downwards, as if he were smiling, or perhaps spitting out a spit.

"No? Aren't you the Xu family's convoy? Don't force me to take action."

Then, he swung his broadsword horizontally.

"I'll ask you one last time: hand over the person or not?"

Swish!

A whooshing sound came from behind.

A dark, long spear.

It shot out from above everyone's heads!

It was aimed directly at the strong man's head!

"snort."

The burly man snorted coldly and reacted quickly, holding the knife horizontally in front of him.

Clang!

The spear tip struck the blade.

It made a piercing sound.

Finally, the burly man swung his hand and forcefully deflected it, sending the spear flying horizontally.

Before anyone could see what was happening, the others had already realized what was going on.

The Xu family retainer named Xue Hai leaped out quickly from behind the crowd.

He caught the spear that was deflected.

The burly man wasn't about to let him have his way, and raised his knife to chop him down.

It was at this time that...

Bang!

Another loud bang, but this time it came from upstairs.

Zhang Jingsong jumped from the second floor.

He held a long black iron staff in his hand.

He smashed a stick down on the burly man's head!

The burly man had no choice but to stop his attack on Xue Hai and turn his head to block the blow.

"What are you waiting for!"

Zhang the镖头 (镖头 is a nickname for a镖师, meaning镖师) roared.

The bodyguards awoke with a start, grabbed their weapons, and rushed forward to help, attacking the burly man together.

At this moment, Chen Feng...

He had already taken several steps and arrived beside the burly man.

Using the momentum of his sprint, he twisted his body, raised his hand, and launched a chopping punch towards the strong man's waist!

The burly man's eyes narrowed.

They seemed surprised by Chen Feng's decisive action.

To everyone's surprise, the burly man grinned and showed no intention of dodging.

While blocking Zhang Biaotou's attack, he was still able to lift his foot.

He kicked Chen Feng!

Aim at the calf that's getting closer and closer.

Without hesitation, Chen Feng unleashed a punch!

The fist and the calf came together.

The muffled thud of flesh colliding sent a chill down everyone's spine.

next second.

Chen Feng staggered back several steps.

Forced to create distance.

His shoulder was dislocated, and he grimaced in pain, but he endured the agony and pushed his shoulder back into place.

Then look at that burly man.

He swayed slightly, becoming unsteady, and a dark bruise appeared on his calf, as if a blood clot had formed.

Chen Feng felt it was outrageous.

Is this the level of hardness that a human can achieve?

Keep in mind he was wearing brass knuckles! So, one hit and he only suffered a minor injury?!

After assessing the situation, Chen Feng realized that he definitely couldn't beat this burly man.

It should be left to the Bone Forging Warrior to deal with.

"You guys retreat first! We'll catch up later!"

Zhang the镖头 roared, realizing that the others couldn't be of much help here.

"Retreat? Where to retreat to?"

The burly man grinned maliciously and raised his machete to strike at Zhang, the镖头 (bodyguard). Zhang blocked with his stick, but was clearly outmatched in strength.

"Die!"

The spear flashed across the sky, aiming at the burly man.

Zhang Jingsong and Xue Hai worked together to attack the burly man from both sides.

This forced him to leave the inn's entrance.

"Hurry up!"

Cheng Li rushed over, followed by two women, Cheng Tingxue and her maid.

While the burly man was focused on fighting the two men,

The crowd filed out through the back door.

"What about the goods? What should we do with them?"

Someone asked in a loud voice.

"Forget about the cargo, it's all worthless! Our mission this time is to escort people!"

Cheng Li shouted and helped the two women onto the carriage.

He took on the role of coachman, raised his whip, and lashed it down quickly.

"Hurry up!"

"More people will come!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and quickly mounted their horses, following Cheng Li as they rushed out of the village.

Ta-da-ta-da...

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves pierced the night.

Only after the sounds of ping-pong balls had completely faded behind him did Wang Huan ask loudly:

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Who exactly is that burly man?!"

"What else are you hiding from us?"

The two martial artists from the Xu family clearly knew something, but they remained silent and continued on their way.

The four bodyguards, including Chen Feng, were kept in the dark, like outsiders.

I know nothing.

Nobody likes this feeling.

"We're sorry, we just didn't want the news to leak out, so we kept it from everyone."

Cheng Li responded while brandishing his whip.

"Actually, this mission is not to deliver goods, but to escort Tingxue back to Pingcheng."

"Chief镖师 Zhang must have told you how dangerous this mission was, which is why the reward is so high."

The bodyguards were taken aback upon hearing this, as Chief Bodyguard Zhang had indeed emphasized the dangers of this trip.

The reward for this shipment was indeed substantial.

Everyone was speechless.

The carriage wheels rustled as they rolled over the gravel on the road.

It was drowned out by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.

"Who is that burly man? And who is this Young Master Lu he's talking about?" Chen Feng asked.

"Ask, ask, ask! All you do is ask! You've taken the money, so just do your job properly. Why all this nonsense!"

A martial artist from the Xu family shouted at Chen Feng.

"Don't meddle in things that aren't your business!"

Upon hearing this, the guards of Changwei Escort Agency's faces darkened instantly, and they immediately lost their temper.

Chen Feng's eyes also turned cold:

"If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'm turning around and leaving right now."

"You dare!"

The Xu family warrior roared angrily.

"Why wouldn't I dare? This is just a private job that Chief Zhang took on himself; it's not an assignment from the bureau."

Chen Feng said coldly.

"This is a breach of contract!"

"I haven't taken a single penny of the money, and I haven't signed a contract, so how can there be any talk of breach of contract? I even turned around and helped that burly man, and there was no problem with that."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the members of Changwei Escort Agency slowed down their horses.

They silently supported Chen Feng.

It seemed as if they would leave immediately as soon as Chen Feng left.

"you!……"

The Xu family warriors were speechless.

The carriage curtain was suddenly pulled open, and the maidservant inside poked her head out, scolding Chen Feng:

"If you dare leave! Our Cheng family will make you pay!..."

"Shut up!!"

Cheng Li, who was rushing to catch the carriage, shouted angrily.

They were afraid that Chen Feng would really leave.

This is only the first day of our return journey; there are still several days to go.

If there is a shortage of manpower, Tingxue will be in danger.

The maid seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Cheng Li's cold gaze, she shrank back and crawled back into the car.

Chen Feng looked at Cheng Li, waiting for an explanation.

If Cheng Li hadn't helped him before, Chen Feng would have turned around and left the moment the maid spoke.

Before becoming a direct disciple, he was timid and submissive.

Even after becoming a direct disciple, he remained subservient and hesitant.

Then wasn't he just a useless disciple?

As a direct disciple, Chen Feng's every word and action outside the martial arts school affects the reputation of the school.

Therefore, Xie Fei's sneak attack on Chen Feng can be seen as a provocation against the martial arts school.

It's not only reasonable for Chen Feng to cripple him, but he can also get compensation.

It was because of his status as a direct disciple.

A maid from the Cheng family dared to threaten Chen Feng; even if Chen Feng punched her to death on the spot, she would be fine.

No one will say anything.

Instead, they would criticize the Cheng family for not even being able to discipline their servants.

Chen Feng is not bloodthirsty and is willing to give Cheng Li face, so he will not turn against him on the spot.

But there are prerequisites.

If you've given someone a way out, they should know when to accept it.
