Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

The twilight, as dark as ink, dripped into the mountains and fields, spreading and blurring.

After Chen Mo finished cultivating the Blazing Fire Profound Technique, he was still thinking about Wu Zhi'ai. Could it be her? He was now at his wit's end.

Although Wu Zhi'ai had told him not to go back before they parted, with his skill, he sneaked back under the cover of night, and no one could detect him when he was at the Transformation Realm.

Mind this.

He was about to get up and leave when he suddenly sensed someone approaching.

"Is it Wu Zhi'ai?"

He sensed a familiar presence approaching the deserted temple.

Not long after.

A black figure cautiously entered the temple. Chen Mo looked up and saw that it was Wu Zhi'ai.

When the two reunited, Wu Zhi'ai's face immediately lit up with relief upon seeing that Chen Mo was unharmed.

"Sister Ai, what brings you here? Did the Wu family attack you?"

The two sat down on the ground.

Wu Zhiai nodded slightly. "After Wu Duan died, Wu Zheng rallied Wu Kang and a few others, saying that I had killed Wu Duan and that they wanted to execute me. Fortunately, I had informants in the Wu family, so I found out in advance and escaped."

"Also, it seems like people from the Black Tiger Gang and the Fierce Sand Gang are patrolling around town; they're probably looking for you."

"Oh, right." She remembered something, "I brought you some crafting materials. It's not much, but it should last you a few days."

She pointed outside the temple gate.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

When Wu Zhi'ai was fleeing, the first person she thought of was him.

"Thank you so much, Sister Ai..."

He didn't say anything particularly moving, but the feeling will be etched in my heart and I will never forget it.

Wu Zhiai knew Chen Mo wasn't good at saying these things, so she smiled and said, "I've invested in you to the last drop of my savings, so you can't let me down!"

Chen Mo smiled in response, "Don't worry, Sister Ai."

Afterwards, Wu Zhiai took out the dry food she had brought, and the two ate some before resting against the temple gate.

At this moment, the dense clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight shone down.

Today, Wu Zhiai changed into a black round-neck robe for easier movement, making her look very capable and neat.

Her long hair, like ribbons, draped over her shoulders, and the gentle moonlight outlined her rather exquisite appearance.

A short while later.

Chen Mo said, "I want to go out for a bit."

"Where to?"

"Go kill someone. Instead of waiting here, take the initiative."

Wu Zhi'ai looked surprised, but then her expression turned to worry. "Isn't this a bit dangerous?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's alright. With my current strength, I can handle anything as long as I don't run into Zhao Huayuan and Liu Zongsheng."

In fact, it would be safer for them to escape to the Xie family in the county town, but now the Black Tiger Hall and the Fierce Sand Gang are patrolling everywhere and have already dispersed.

This is the perfect opportunity to defeat them one by one!

Moreover, only by gaining insights through actual combat can one better translate those insights into practical application.

Seeing Chen Mo's confidence, Wu Zhiai did not object further, but simply reminded him, "Then be very careful, I'll wait for you here."

Chen Mo left the wild temple and headed towards Heihe Town.

Instead of entering from the north of the town, he went around to Qing Shi Lane in the south of the town, where he encountered two henchmen of the Han Sha Gang, who became his first targets.

He deliberately went around to the south of the town to hide his tracks and make the other party mistakenly believe that he came from the south.

Chen Mo used the Luo Yan Step, his movements as light and graceful as smoke, and quietly approached the two of them.

At this moment, the two men were still patrolling the alley, looking left and right, hoping to find Chen Mo and thus obtain a reward, but also fearing that they would end up like the deputy gang leader, beheaded.

"Have you heard? That guy named Chen Mo just passed the martial arts exam, and there are rumors... that he also killed our deputy leader."

The short, stocky warrior spoke to the tall, thin warrior.

The other party, however, was unconvinced, a look of disdain on their face. "I think this rumor is false. Our deputy leader is at the peak of the Dark Force realm. How could some lucky kid who became famous be a match for the deputy leader?"

The shorter martial artist remained noncommittal, saying, "It's best to be careful."

"You're such a coward! After we finish patrolling this stretch of road, we'll go back to the brothel and have some fun, go find that girl from last night, tsk tsk..."

As he spoke, his eyes were glazed over. He reached out and traced a graceful curve in the air in front of him, then clenched his fist tightly before bursting into laughter.

However, at that moment...

Suddenly, everything went quiet.

The short martial artist turned his head and suddenly saw a figure flash by like a ghost. He prepared to step back.

The short martial artist was at the mid-stage of Ming Jin, but at this moment he couldn't lift his leg. Just as he was about to tremble and take out the firework signal from his waist.

Chen Mo swiftly closed in on his opponent, preparing his "Stone Shattering Strike" technique rapidly, and immediately unleashed a punch.

In an instant, before the other party could even take out the fireworks, the fist had already landed on his face.

boom!

The punch was as fierce as a meteor hammer, smashing onto the ripe watermelon. The opponent only let out a half-scream before his vision went black, and then his head exploded like a watermelon sac, with blood splattering onto the wall, appearing crimson and terrifying in the moonlight.

He killed a mid-stage Ming Jin with a single punch.

The remaining tall, thin martial artist was terrified at the sight, and his arrogant expression vanished completely.

He hurriedly retreated, and at the same time frantically reached for his waist, grabbing a firework signal in preparation for pulling the trigger.

At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly twisted his feet, took a step forward, and spread his five fingers like dragon claws.

The energy travels along the waist, abdomen, shoulder blades, upper arm, and forearm, instantly hardening the entire line like iron, and finally condensing at the fingertips.

With a soft shout, the dragon claw suddenly magnified in the opponent's pupils.

"Spare me, spare me..."

In despair, the other party shouted incoherently.

But Chen Mo did not stop at all.

In an instant, the dragon's claw pierced through the throat like an iron hook.

Click!

The sound of a neck bone breaking rang out under the pale moonlight.

Chen Mo withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and the other person, already a lifeless corpse, collapsed with a thud.

The firework signal, with half its fuse pulled out, was also discarded.

If the fireworks are set off, they will quickly attract the rest of the Fierce Sand Gang, and then the goal of defeating them one by one will not be achieved.

Chen Mo killed two henchmen of the Fierce Sand Gang at lightning speed. He quickly searched their bodies and found only some silver and medicine to aid their cultivation.

Although these Ming Jin subordinates are vastly different from the core An Jin members, their deaths are still a significant loss for the Han Sha Gang.

After thinking it over for a while, Chen Mo took one of the fireworks with him.

Then, with a flash, he disappeared into the darkness again, swiftly traversing the dark alleyways.

When it reappeared, it was already in the southeast corner of Heihe Town.

Here, Luo Hou led a Ming Jin (a type of martial arts expert) on patrol.

"It seems the Fierce Sand Gang and the Black Tiger Hall have laid a trap in Black River Town. It won't be long before they discover the existence of the Wild Temple..."

Chen Mo's alarm blared loudly.

With that in mind, he quietly approached the two of them.

Luo Hou is at the early stage of Dark Force, making him slightly more troublesome than a martial artist with Bright Force.

At this moment, Luo Hou kicked hard on the door of a house, yelling, "Damn it, in the middle of the night, I have to do this kind of work, what a damn bad luck!"

Ming Jin's subordinates stepped forward and flattered, "This shows that Boss Luo is highly valued by the family head, who has entrusted such an important position to him."

Luo Hou kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying half a meter away. He then angrily said, "If you can't flatter, then don't! You're out on patrol, why are you asking for favor?"

Then his gaze suddenly sharpened, and his tone shifted, "It's all that peasant Chen Mo's fault, that orphan who thinks he can ride roughshod over us just because he got lucky. If I ever run into him, I'll kill him with my own hands!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure silently appeared behind the subordinate who had been kicked away...
