Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

With a heavy stomp from Chen Mo, Zhao Huayuan's face was completely mangled and bloody.

After doing this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, releasing the resentment in his heart.

The numerous assassination attempts against him by the Hansha Gang over the past two months had fueled his murderous intent, which is why it was finally unleashed at this moment.

After that, Chen Mo began to grope the other person's body.

The first thing they found was a square receipt made of excellent paper. He shone a flame on it and saw the words "five hundred taels" written on it.

He was overjoyed.

"Five hundred taels...enough to buy a luxury house in Anyang County, as well as a lot of forging materials."

"Just purchasing medicinal herbs can take many years."

Keep the receipts safe on your person.

Then, they found a martial arts manual called "Hundred Falcon Technique".

"Presumably, the hawk-like move that Zhao Huayuan used earlier was this skill. The fact that the other party carries it with him is enough to show its importance."

"After we get back, we'll use the natural landscape to cultivate our skills and enhance our comprehension."

After thinking it over, Chen Mo carefully placed the book on his person.

Apart from these two items, Zhao Huayuan had nothing else on him.

Chen Mo stood up and looked around.

Under the light of the Blazing Fire Technique, he vaguely saw that the underground space was quite spacious, and he immediately began to search it.

"The underground chamber of the Black Tiger Gang's lair might hold some unexpected treasures..."

As Chen Mo began his search, several battles on the ground were nearing their end.

Shen Qi fought Lin Chong for about seven or eight rounds before thrusting his sword through the air, instantly piercing Lin Chong's shoulder bone. He then stepped forward and struck Lin Chong's chest several times with his palms, successfully capturing him alive.

Lin Chong was the principal offender and also the backbone of the enemy.

After he was captured alive by Shen Qi, the remaining men's fighting spirit greatly diminished, leading to the following scenes:

Under the combined attack of He Feng's chief steward and several hidden experts, Qi Feng was decapitated.

As for Liu Zongsheng, he was seriously injured in the attack by Xie Zhen and the leader of the Iron Palm Clan, and was eventually defeated.

As for the battle between Xie Jinyou and Liao Tian, ​​the two fought for twenty rounds before Xie Jinyou shattered Liao Tian's skull with a single palm strike, killing him instantly.

However, just as Shen Qi's side was winning a great victory, Lin Chong triggered a mechanism on the wall during his escort.

Suddenly, the space in the Black Tiger Hall began to tremble, as if an earthquake had struck. The rock strata above everyone's heads collapsed rapidly, and the hole where the sacrificial stele had fallen was quickly buried.

"Get out of there!"

Upon hearing Shen Qi's shout, the crowd disregarded the missing Chen Mo and hurriedly escorted Lin Chong and the others away from the scene.

Xie Jinyou looked back at the buried cave entrance, his brows furrowed deeply, his heart filled with worry.

However, if one were to force their way in, under such a massive collapsed building, even martial artists with internal or external strength would be as good as throwing an egg against a rock.

"Let's go, Chen Mo... he probably won't be able to get out."

Ye Zimou patted his shoulder lightly.

After a sigh, Xie Jinyou had no choice but to leave the Black Tiger Hall headquarters with the others.

boom!!!

Just as everyone was leaving the headquarters, the entire building collapsed into ruins.

……

The underground passage of the Black Tiger Hall headquarters.

Chen Mo pressed his body against the wall, and after the collapse above had completely stopped, he slowly walked to the main path.

The collapse just now caused the underground passage to shake violently, but fortunately the walls on both sides of the passage were very sturdy and not connected to the ground, so he escaped unharmed.

Proceed cautiously, guided by the flames in your palm.

The further you walk, the more open the space feels.

The air around them was filled with the smell of damp earth and a faint stench of blood.

Chen Mo's heart stirred, and he headed towards the faint smell of blood.

Just now, when he saw the huge sacrificial stele in the ground space, he smelled a pungent bloody odor.

"Following this scent might lead us deeper, and the craftsman who built this secret passage likely left an exit for himself in a crucial location..."

"Hopefully the exit hasn't been buried. We need to find it as soon as there's still air..."

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace slightly.

The flame in the palm reflected off the uneven stone wall, outlining the traces of time.

This underground passage of the Black Tiger Hall must have been there for many years.

About fifteen minutes later, the view suddenly opened up, and the distance between the two stone walls changed from twenty feet to half a zhang.

Chen Mo walked forward a dozen steps and came to a flat area. To avoid another accident, he continued to walk along the side of the stone wall.

Suddenly, he saw a pale skeleton sitting on the ground not far away.

My heart skipped a beat.

He slowly stepped closer, and soon he was standing in front of the skeleton.

"Um?"

On the skull's left palm lay an ancient scroll covered in dust.

He carefully removed the ancient scroll and gently blew away the dust from the cover. Judging by the thickness of the dust, it must have been at least ten years old.

But when the four large characters "Li Huo Xuan Gong" on the scroll came into view, he was immediately stunned.

"The Blazing Fire Technique?!"

Previously, when he was practicing the Li Huo Xuan Gong he obtained from Liu Sha, he had some suspicions that the Li Huo Xuan Gong seemed to be incomplete.

"Could this be the second volume?"

Chen Mo opened the book cover and quickly began reading.

The words and sentences above were like ancient esoteric texts, completely incomprehensible to him, but he could at least tell that this book was completely different in content from Liu Shana's book.

A short while later.

After reading it, he closed his eyes and focused his mind. Suddenly, the golden characters in his mind about the Li Huo Xuan Gong (a martial arts technique) shone brightly, even more brilliantly than before.

Upon seeing this, he was overjoyed.

With the complete Fire Separation Technique, and after mastering it to a minor level, one will no longer need to stay in the blacksmith shop all the time to cultivate one's skills by working amidst mountains and rivers.

More importantly, using the Fire-Separating Mystery Technique to refine the Mountain and Water Nourishing Technique is more efficient.

"call--"

He couldn't hide his excitement and let out a long sigh of relief.

After examining the skeleton again, nothing more was found.

Chen Mo began to ponder.

This skeleton might be a member of the Black Tiger Gang, or someone like Lin Chong who possesses secrets even deeper than those of the Black Tiger Gang.

Whether it's the Black Tiger Hall, the Fierce Sand Gang, or Lin Chong, they are all connected in countless ways, but ultimately, they all share the same goal.

This involved embezzling weapons contaminated with human lives and using them for their own purposes.

Chen Mo suddenly recalled his previous conversation with Yin Tianqing.

It seems that Liu Zongsheng believed that weapons sacrificed to human beings could possess a more mysterious power.

"If this power could be applied to martial artists, perhaps that would be Lin Chong's true purpose..."

The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed.

But in reality, he hasn't even established a firm foothold on the path of martial arts, so it's possible that he's used some kind of mysterious cultivation method.

"Let's not speculate for now, let's wait until we actually see it before we talk about it."

After thinking it over, he put another emerald green pill into his mouth and continued walking forward.

Not far ahead, some strange runes began to appear in the open space. As they continued forward, these strange runes connected and formed a large circle.
