Ultimate True Lord

Who would have thought that Jiang Ming was already wearing the Ghost Claw Gauntlets when he struck? With a single palm strike, he crippled the leader's right hand.

With a cry of pain, she screamed in agony.

Although the leader was in a terrible state, he had achieved his goal and was sent flying backward. His face was pale, and he endured the excruciating pain to regain his balance. He suddenly spun around, about to fly quickly to the other side.

However, a fat figure appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

The two soft-style fighters who were originally Liu Longquan's opponents had just been sent flying backwards, coughing up blood, by a single palm strike from him.

"Get out of my way!"

Desperate to escape, the leader charged forward, his burly figure crashing into Liu Longquan like a wild bear, throwing a punch with his left hand.

The two suddenly exchanged punches.

result.

"Bang!"

"ah!!!"

The leader trembled as he withdrew his left fist. On the surface of his fist were several deep, scarlet wounds that revealed the bone, caused by some kind of sharp weapon.

Directly in front of him, Liu Longquan had somehow donned a pair of metal gloves over his palms. His ten fingers and palms were completely covered, with only his joints able to move. Sharp spikes were embedded in his palms.

It gleamed coldly in the sunlight, with a few drops of blood still clinging to its surface.

The master and apprentice were practically cut from the same cloth; one wore a ghost claw glove, and the other wore a spiked glove, but it was the leader who suffered.

His hands were crippled, his left eye was bloodshot and tightly closed, and only his right eye looked around frantically. Two figures, one old and one young, were slowly approaching.

A strong sense of suffocation and oppression enveloped me.

There's an old swindler in front and a young swindler behind. These two treacherous guys will definitely not let me go. Then I'll fight them to the death!

"You want to kill me? You won't get away with it either!"

The leader roared and forcefully assumed the Yan Black Fist stance, his muscles bulging and deforming, like an angry bear as he furiously attacked the two.

After a while.

There was a strong corpse on the ground, its muscles still bulging.

The leader was beaten to death by the master and apprentice, being tossed around like a spinning top. Jiang Ming slapped him towards Liu Longquan, who then kicked him back towards Jiang Ming. It was a playful kind of fun.

It was clear that his face had been sprinkled with at least four or five packets of lime powder from different angles; his eyes were bloodshot, and there was powder on his nostrils and the corners of his mouth. His body was covered with red sand palm prints, and his arms were covered with bloody welts.

The leader collapsed in frustration without inflicting any harm on either of them. He had difficulty dealing with one person, let alone two.

In the woods.

Jiang Ming and Liu Longquan slowly withdrew the insidious weapons from their hands, and simultaneously began to count how many hidden weapons were left in their waist pouches, before turning their heads.

All eyes turned to the distance not far away.

There, the two men who had just been knocked away by Liu Longquan were now frantically running away into the distance. One of them was the second-in-command of Black Stone Village.

The other is Guang Sheng, a pharmacist, who disguises himself as an ordinary mountain bandit.

He lay on the ground, his left leg slightly twisted, blood stained the corner of his mouth, and he was completely still, with no sign of his chest rising or falling, as if he were already dead beyond dead.

Jiang Ming and Liu Longquan glanced at the corpse on the ground.

Then, the old man and the young man looked at each other.

There was no speech, no words.

"call out!"

"call out!"

Almost simultaneously, the two made their moves, one throwing a three-edged bone-piercing dart and the other throwing a small throwing axe.

Two types of hidden weapons pierced the air and struck the corpse on the ground.

Just then, the corpse seemed to sense something and instantly came back to life. It resumed breathing and tried to resist, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

A three-edged dart pierced the fair-skinned man's jaw, splattering blood everywhere.

A flying axe spun rapidly with ferocious force, its blade striking the man's forehead and pinning his head back down. A muffled thud followed, and leaves flew everywhere.

The fair-skinned man's hands and feet twitched slightly, then he became completely still.

Liu Longquan looked at Jiang Ming, who was slowly withdrawing his arm, and suddenly burst into laughter, patting his shoulder repeatedly with loud thuds.

"Hahaha, this child is just like me, this child is just like me!"

Liu Longquan and Jiang Ming were of one mind. The moment they saw the corpse, they sensed that the person was not dead, but was pretending to be dead because he was unable to escape due to a leg injury.

It's likely they wanted to wait until the two were close before launching a desperate attack.

So the two of them unleashed their hidden weapons and sent him to his death.

After a loud laugh, Liu Longquan turned around, his gaze fixed on the second-in-command of Black Stone Village in the distance, and he was about to fly away.

"I'll go and bring the one who escaped back."

However, Jiang Ming raised his hand to stop him, and calmly said, "Master, no need."

Just as Liu Longquan was wondering.

In the distance, the second-in-command of Black Stone Village, who was fleeing, suddenly collapsed to the ground. He shakily got up, staggered a few steps, then collapsed again, and never got up again.

"Oh?"

Liu Longquan looked at Jiang Ming in surprise and asked.

"Poisoned?"

Jiang Ming smiled slightly, took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, and flicked it lightly with his fingers, producing a crisp sound.

"When the poisonous powder of the red peony flower is added to lime powder in a large enough dose, even a person with soft strength will feel dizzy and lightheaded. If the person's soft strength is greatly depleted and their qi and blood are weak, they are even more likely to be poisoned and faint."

After he finished speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle.

"The juice of the epiphyllum can neutralize the poison of the poison powder."

Poison powder and antidote, both prepared.

After reading it, Liu Longquan raised his hand with a wicked grin, pointed at Jiang Ming, and shook it repeatedly.

"Hehe, you little rascal, you're wicked and cunning enough, I like it."

This method of poisoning with lime was innovative and something he hadn't expected.

In this respect, Jiang Ming can be considered to have surpassed his teacher.

Fifteen minutes later.

The three corpses were laid out in a forest clearing; all were masters of soft strength.

But they all met their demise at the hands of Jiang Ming and his apprentice. They had no choice but to provoke Jiang Ming and the fiercely protective Liu Longquan.

Besides, there were other Black Stone Village bandits' corpses scattered on the ground nearby. However, it was unknown whether any had escaped, given the large number of people and the chaotic scene.

Three or four members of the herb-gathering team in the deep mountains were injured, but thankfully no one was seriously injured. This was mainly because the initial lime dust had an effect.

A moment later, Jiang Ming tallied his spoils and found he had only a dozen or so taels of silver. After searching the group, he discovered that most of the people did not have any martial arts manuals on them, except for the second-in-command of Black Stone Village, who surprisingly carried a manual of the Heart-Shattering Palm technique.

This is a technique that can cultivate soft strength.

Jiang Ming's heart stirred; he wondered if this technique possessed any martial arts characteristics.

In the woods.

Liu Longquan looked at Jiang Ming and couldn't help but ask.

"Where did you learn your lightness skill, kid? And how did you reach such a high level?"

So Jiang Ming delivered his prepared explanation. It was nothing more than an unexpected acquisition, an unexpected affinity, and rapid cultivation. In any case, since the Crescent Moon Step had been enhanced and now had a visualization diagram, it was no longer considered a so-called evil technique.

"I never expected you to have such a stroke of luck."

Liu Longquan nodded, suddenly realizing that Jiang Ming seemed to be even more talented than Fang Heng. The main reason he wasn't angry was that Jiang Ming's progress in cultivating the Red Sand Palm hadn't fallen behind, and he was now handling it with ease.

Jiang Ming's talent is unimaginable, as he can simultaneously cultivate the Red Sand Palm and master the Crescent Moon Step to such a high level.

"These people from Black Stone Village deserve to die even more!"

"Dare to touch my precious disciple? You have a death wish!"

A flash of anger crossed Liu Longquan's mind.

He pondered for a moment, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Take the corpses of these three martial arts masters back with you. I want Guang Sheng Pharmacy and other forces to know the consequences of daring to cross the line and harm a formal disciple of my Red Sand Martial Arts School!"

Liu Longquan lowered his eyelids and muttered to himself.

"Guang Sheng Pharmacy had better behave themselves, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
