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

That night, it was deep and quiet, and the sky was cloudless.

Suddenly, a grand and majestic horn sounded throughout the city, and the once quiet Black Lion City was now bustling with noise and commotion.

Boom boom boom!

Not only were there bugle calls, but also drumbeats, countless drumbeats rising and falling.

"What happened?!"

"This is an order from the military. What exactly is going on?"

"Red Spider has arrived? No way, shouldn't there have been prior notice?"

"What exactly happened at the front? Could the entire army have been wiped out?"

The bugle call suddenly sounded in the army, and there was no other possibility but that a formidable enemy was at hand.

Now, no one in Black Lion City can sleep anymore.

"Listen to me, I used to work as a horse groom for the bigwigs in the inner city. Some time ago, they suddenly stopped letting me work. They didn't say anything and just let me go. I haven't seen that bigwig since then."

Do you think they might have received some kind of advance warning?

One of them, sensing something was wrong, shared his experience.

These remarks immediately caused a huge uproar, and the city was in an uproar.

"Yes, yes, yes, we haven't seen many lords in the inner city for some time now. They must have received some news and fled!"

"And the Zhao family, it seems they've left too. Their doors are usually wide open, but these past few days they've been tightly shut, neither coming in nor leaving. They must have already deserted the place."

"Damn it, these wealthy families want us to stay behind and cover their retreat! No, I have to run!"

"Old Liang, doesn't your family sell rice? Sell it to me quickly, I have money here, I'll buy as much as you have..."

"What are you doing? I'm not selling anymore! I'm not selling anymore! Let go of my hand... What are you trying to do? Don't try to steal it..."

......

"What exactly happened? Who, who leaked it? Damn it, damn it!"

Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials of various factions who were preparing to leave in the coming days were furious, denouncing the troublemaker and wishing they could devour his flesh and drink his blood.

This threw Black Lion City into chaos, which undoubtedly had a huge impact on their escape.

How could they not be furious when their carefully planned life-or-death matter was disrupted?

On the city wall, in a separate room, Chen Han opened the window and gazed at the Black Lion City, which was as bright as day, his eyes revealing a sense of triumph.

"Are you satisfied now? Untie me!"

Behind Chen Han was a tall and imposing middle-aged man, the city guard of Black Lion City. He was tightly bound by iron chains and could not even stand up. His face was covered in bruises, indicating that he had been beaten badly.

"Great, I'm very satisfied."

Not only did he beat him, but he also forced Chen Hantian, who was on his orders, to respond shamelessly.

"However, you'll have to make do for a bit, I haven't run away yet."

With that, Chen Han flipped over and jumped off the city wall. He was agile and took several steps to the left and right, using the momentum to land steadily.

Then, he rode his horse at full speed, leading the carriage to the city gate.

"Who goes there? Stop right now!"

"Stop immediately, or face city regulations consequences!"

The heavy city gates were already tightly closed. During this bustling time in Black Lion City, the army reacted quickly and had already dispatched about a hundred heavily armored cavalrymen to guard the city.

This was to prevent civilians from rioting and fleeing.

And this was something Chen Han hadn't anticipated.

Chen Han dismounted and charged ahead, his speed increasing dramatically. In just a few breaths, he left the carriage far behind.

"Come on, all of you, try and stop me!"

He was not afraid at all when facing the heavily armored cavalry who were as imposing as human beasts. He pounded the ground with each step, maintaining his speed, and with a loud shout, he charged straight into the crowd.

Instantly, the crowd seemed to be struck by a giant rhinoceros weighing a thousand pounds, unable to resist it in the slightest.

Chen Han's momentum was unstoppable, and no one could stand in his way. Anyone who stood in his way was instantly blasted away, and the terrifying force made people's hearts pound.

In just a few breaths, there was no one left in his sight to stand up.

Then, Chen Han broke the giant chain locking the city gate with two hand chops, came to the city gate, covered the heavy city gate with his hands, and tried to push it open by himself.

This city gate is the main gate of Black Lion City. It is several tens of feet high and several tens of feet wide. Both doors weigh more than eight thousand catties each. Even if it is not locked, it would take dozens of strong men and several oxen to open it.

Now, this person actually wants to push it away by his own strength, which is something that ordinary people, even warriors, would never think of.

But in the next moment, this impossible thing was shattered.

Chen Han held a black lion city gate in each hand and suddenly exerted force with a stomp of his foot!

In the blink of an eye, the city gate was opened a crack. Chen Han did not stop, but continued to exert force. His muscles were taut, the veins on his arms were bulging, and his white teeth were clenched to powder.

Finally, by the fourth breath, the city gate was wide enough for people to pass through, but he was still not satisfied. He shouted and used all his strength.

With a deafening crash, the two city gates were flung open and slammed heavily against the city wall.

The carriage arrived just in time behind him, and Chen Han swiftly mounted the horse and galloped away.

"drive!"

Eight hooves thundered, raising clouds of dust. The soldiers on the city wall watched the carriage recede into the distance, discussing the rider who was gradually disappearing from sight.

"Farewell, Black Mountain Gang..."

"Farewell, Black Lion City..."

Chen Han glanced back at the gate of Black Lion City, smiled faintly, and his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Under a bright sun and without a cloud in the sky, Chen Han drove his carriage through a desolate mountain range.

Looking around, all that could be seen were withered branches and rotten leaves, and loess slopes; it was a desolate and uninhabited wasteland.

This place is more than 300 miles away from Black Lion City.

Chen Hangao stood on the carriage, looking around and occasionally glancing at the map to determine the direction.

Actually, he couldn't read a map and often got lost on the first day. But now, he can identify directions based on the terrain. Although he's not very proficient, he can at least get the general direction right.

Chen Han opened the map again. It was a piece of sheepskin, not easily damaged, but the drawing skills were not very good.

Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between mountains and hills, and you often have to identify them repeatedly.

Chen Han is now taking a small path, which is somewhat rugged, but it is fast.

The Chen family has been on their way for many days, and even if he travels day and night, he could not possibly catch up. Besides, even if he had the energy, these two dark horses would not be able to keep up.

He has another problem now, which is that he has run out of the beast hearts. In fact, he had already finished them back in the cave, and he couldn't buy any more on the black market. Now he can only practice the Mountain-Breaking Fist.

Tai Chi Health Preservation Exercise (Proficient) 350/500

【Mountain-Breaking Fist (Mastery) 421/500】

Chen Han opened the proficiency panel and glanced at it. "It seems that four more beast hearts are needed, and the Mountain-Breaking Fist will be able to reach the Martial Artist realm in just one month."

Chen Han was not worried at all about the upcoming challenge of reaching the Martial Artist realm. This might be an insurmountable obstacle for others, but for him, who had a proficiency panel, it was a piece of cake.

However, there is one more thing that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later, and that is the "ultimate intention"!
