Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Inside the main room, Shen Wan'er kept looking out anxiously, while Shen Yue sobbed in her arms. She had been quite frightened by the bald man's exaggerated facial expressions outside.

Chen Han kept his head down and remained silent.

Soon, the old couple returned, their faces full of worry, clearly having already handed over the three taels of silver.

But the matter is far from over.

Their wealth is far more than just three taels of silver. Knowing the Black Mountain Gang's nature, they will not stop until they have squeezed them dry.

Virtue should match one's position, and wealth should match one's character.

The amount of wealth you can protect depends on your strength. If you can't protect it, even if the Black Mountain Gang doesn't covet it, other gangs like the Black Bird Gang or the Black Dog Gang will.

Shen Wuren glanced at Chen Han without showing any emotion, wanting to scold him, but not knowing where to begin.

He agreed to the marriage not only because the other party was willing to be a live-in son-in-law, but also because he valued the martial arts family background that supported him.

He knew he was getting old and his old ailments were starting to reappear. Climbing this line would at least prevent him from being bullied by others, but unfortunately, the troublemakers were the notorious Black Mountain Gang, and this son-in-law, to put it bluntly, was abandoned by his ancestor and wouldn't be taken seriously at all.

At that moment, an unprecedented sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him.

Perhaps in just two years, they will be exploited by the Black Mountain Gang and forced to make a living in the outskirts of the city.

This is not unusual. There are countless families on this street who have been forced to go outside the city to make a living.

Chen Han remained silent, his eyes still downcast.

.......

That night, the rain pattered down, and water accumulated in the corners of the yard.

dong dong dong~

Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Chen Han went outside to check. When he opened the courtyard gate, he saw three figures, all of whom were the three thugs from the Black Mountain Gang who had come to his door earlier that day. The leader was still the burly bald man.

Chen Han noticed that there was still blood on the other person's body. Although it had been mostly washed away by the rain, Chen Han could tell that it was still fresh.

"Master Xiong, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"

Chen Han asked with a fearful yet humble smile.

The bald, burly man put his index finger to his lips, signaling Chen Han to be quiet, then lowered his voice and said, "A little brat just ran into your house, let me go in and check it out!"

The three of them were not using umbrellas, were soaking wet, had blood on their faces, and had fierce eyes, like man-eating black bears!

All three ignored Chen Han and looked at a small room in the courtyard.

Chen Han's heart sank, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and he returned to his obsequious and humble demeanor.

"Oh, Master Xiong, you can't do that! That's my little sister's boudoir. How can we let outsiders in like that?"

He wouldn't believe the nonsense these bandits spouted. If he let them pass, he, Chen Han, wouldn't be a man.

Chen Han quickly stopped the group, but was met with a rough, large hand.

Suddenly, Xiong Ye grabbed his neck with such force that the latter couldn't breathe at all, and his face turned a deep purplish-red.

"Don't think that just because you're from the Chen family, I won't dare kill you. You're nothing but a useless dog. Let me tell you, if you dare disobey me again, I'll send you to meet Buddha!"

After saying that, he finally let go, pushed Chen Han to the ground, and the three of them strode straight towards Shen Yue's boudoir.

At this moment, in Shen Wuren's bedroom.

Shen Wuren's eyes were bloodshot and his face was ferocious as he stared intently at the figures behind the window screen, his hands, with their distinct knuckles and wrinkles, clenched into fists.

"Do you really think I'm too old and useless? If you dare to cause trouble today, even if I die... I'll tear a piece of flesh from your bodies!"

Shen Wan'er watched this scene helplessly through the crack in the door. Her delicate body trembled, and she sobbed uncontrollably, feeling as if her heart was about to break.

Just as Xiong Ye's large hands were about to touch the door, "Hey!"

At a shout, the three stopped in their tracks, and at the same time, with a "crack!" a bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the surrounding world in an instant.

Tick ​​tock~

After a loud bang, the pattering rain resumed, and everything fell silent. But the difference was that Xiong Ye's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost!

Shen Wuren was struck dumb, and for a moment he couldn't breathe.

Inside the room, Shen Wan'er's crying stopped abruptly, replaced by an expression of disbelief.

Shen Yue'er and the wet boy hiding behind the door were completely stunned.

Four figures could be vaguely seen behind the window screen. At this moment, the fingers of one of the figures were deeply embedded in the neck of another person!

Decisive and swift, all in an instant!

Outside the door, the Black Mountain Gang thugs stared blankly at Chen Han, who had two fingers deeply embedded in their throats, making gurgling sounds.

He tried to say something, but only made a strange sound like a bubble bursting. Blood flowed from his neck, staining his hand red.

Rain dripped from Chen Han's hair onto his face. He kept his lips tightly closed, not uttering a word, his gaze cold and sharp!

Black Lion City Chen Family Martial Arts, the Mountain-Breaking Fist has a derivative move - Two Yang Finger!

"You! You're asking for it, kid!"

When Xiong Ye realized what was happening, he was furious. He clenched his fists and threw a powerful punch at Chen Han.

Chen Han frowned deeply, withdrew his two fingers, and retreated repeatedly, barely managing to avoid the attack.

If it were the old him, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state; he would have already used all his strength to punch this person and shatter his bones.

Unfortunately, due to poor health, he had no choice but to avoid direct confrontation.

"Kid, try to hide! Let's see where you can hide!"

Master Xiong naturally knew Chen Han's background. In an accident, his bones were broken and his life was uncertain. He was lucky to survive but became a cripple. He was abandoned by his family and only survived by becoming a live-in son-in-law.

But at this moment... how could that be!

These thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash, and he now had only one thought: to kill this man.

Master Xiong stepped forward, his amber fists striking the ground with tremendous force, each move powerful and heavy, making the onlookers' hearts pound.

If it had hit an ordinary person, it would have likely resulted in broken bones. For Chen Han, it was even more unacceptable. He could only dodge and defend, not daring to take even a single blow head-on.

In just a few breaths, the two exchanged dozens of blows!

Thanks to the muscle memory he had developed from his martial arts training, he wouldn't be killed instantly, but the current situation is that the two are locked in a stalemate.

This is largely due to the small amount of Tai Chi health exercises he had mastered.

This health-preserving exercise not only allowed his physical body to recover, but also made his hands, feet, fists, and palms more flexible, agile, and coordinated.

Tai Chi health exercises are known to everyone for their health benefits, but few realize that even setting aside the health benefits, it is also a legitimate martial art. However, few people have grasped its essence, leading to its decline and its eventual obscurity.

"As for me, I possess a proficiency panel; with persistent effort, I will naturally grasp even a fraction of it over time."

Chen Han had already discovered this point in this martial art before, and advancing from the beginner level to the minor mastery level is the first hurdle to overcome in this martial art. It does not require sufficient qi and blood; enlightenment is the key.

Chen Han... a martial arts master!

Even so, his physical condition gradually made him struggle, and he eventually fell into a disadvantageous position.

At that moment, Shen Wuren burst through the door, his face beaming with joy. He laughed heartily, "Good lad! Let this old man lend you a hand!"
