Martial Arts: Starting with Bajiquan, I will prove my divine power through the ultimate path!

The night was quiet.

The earlier fighting and bloodshed had already frightened away the people nearby, and the surroundings were silent except for the chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs, and the faint sounds of noise from the street further away.

Rows of corpses were laid out in the open space inside the courtyard.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, a smell that pierced right into one's nostrils.

Ning looked at the boy suspiciously.

He closed his eyes and focused his mind on sensing his surroundings for a moment. A look of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and most of the sorrow and fear on his face dissipated.

His tone had become colder and more probing, "Young man, which sect are you from? You've come to kill my brothers for the bounty, haven't you?"

"My head may be worth 800 taels of silver, but it's not something a junior like you in the Blood Condensation stage can kill. Let your master come out. I wonder which martial arts master from Guanzhou is here to observe? I apologize for not greeting you properly, but isn't it a bit much to make this trip for a mere 800 taels?"

"I, Ning, am unwilling to fight with your sect. I am willing to exchange three different sources for my life."

He continued to shout in a low voice, raising a waterproof bag from his waist in the air as a gesture.

But their posture and expression.

The previous posture of mourning and humility was gone.

On the contrary, a hungry wolf about to unleash its power had its eyes flashing with malevolent light, and when it looked at Shi Wen, its killing intent was particularly strong!

The chill and bleakness in the air seemed to intensify.

"No, I'm not a member of any sect," Shi Wen replied, chewing on the dried meat.

"Not even from a sect?" Ning Da was taken aback for a moment, then snarled, "This guy is so audacious now, daring to hunt us down? Aren't he afraid of making money but not having the life to enjoy it?"

"I am not a ghostwriter."

"People from the county government?" Ning Da's pupils shrank slightly. "I didn't expect that the county government here could make Black Cloud County seem like an impregnable fortress, and yet they knew we were here based on such a small rumor? But as far as I know, the county government is not an impregnable fortress."

"I'm not from the county government either." Shi Wen shook his head, took out some wound medicine and sprinkled it on some gruesome wounds. "I'm just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people?"

Ning Da was taken aback at first, then suddenly laughed.

How could an ordinary person kill these elite soldiers who had fought valiantly on the battlefield, and single-handedly kill twelve of his brothers?

"Good! Good, good, good!! What an ordinary person!"

Ning Da's calm face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression. He hissed in a low voice, "Then why did you kill my brothers? We had no grudge against you, why were you so ruthless?"

Shi Wen took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Just now, three Blood Tempering Warriors attacked me, saying they wanted to kill me to establish their authority."

"I have no grudge against you, and I am merely a lowly Blood Tempering cultivator. Why do you want to kill me to establish your authority?"

"Li Niu and his men attacked you? You're the martial artist that the boxing academy disciple mentioned who just broke through to the Blood Condensation stage today?"

Ning Da's expression turned astonished, then became extremely ugly.

He thought it was someone from the Sinanwei Guard, someone from a sect, someone who had written the sword, or someone from the county government.

He thought things were about to be exposed.

They want to sacrifice themselves to cover up for others.

But who knew...

The brothers' deaths were caused by such a trivial matter?

They didn't know this person at all, had no grudge against him, and on the contrary, they had brought about their own demise because of a momentary lapse in judgment.

Ning Da took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said in a deep voice, "Then why don't you explain?"

"When someone wants to kill you, why don't you ask them why they want to kill you?"

Shi Wen chewed the gray meat, his face calm.

Shi Wen stared directly into Ning Da's face, which appeared calm but was filled with rage, without showing any fear.

Ning Da stared at him for a long time, then suddenly lowered his head and sighed, "Alas... so this is how it is. It's our fault for not disciplining our brothers properly. Young brother, this has nothing to do with you. You can go now."

Shi Wen didn't move. He asked, puzzled, "I know the whole story now. You did nothing wrong. You can go back now."

"Don't worry, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. I am a disciplined, upright and kind soldier. It's just that the world has forced me to become a deserter, leaving us patriots with no way to serve our country. We won't harm ordinary people."

Ning Da explained earnestly, a gentle expression on his face, "Go home, your family is waiting for you."

"I won't be at ease if you don't die."

Shi Wen chewed on the dried meat, speaking in the calmest tone the words that contained the deepest killing intent.

Ning Da was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Very well! You're quite an interesting fellow. You really don't have any accomplices?"

"With your mere blood clotting stage, what makes you think you can defeat me?"

"My aptitude is limited. After more than ten years of martial arts practice, I can only condense a blood membrane and barely enter the Yuan Blood stage. But do you know that the Yuan Blood stage is worlds apart from blood condensation and blood tempering?"

He took a few steps, his eyes flashing with killing intent. "The Yuan Blood stage involves constructing an impenetrable blood membrane around the body, completely enveloping and protecting the skin, muscles, bones, and organs, and from this membrane, Yuan Blood is born!"

"The primordial blood is abundant and inexhaustible in the body, as viscous as lead and mercury. The blood and qi of the whole body are vigorous and strong, like a furnace forging the skin, flesh, tendons and bones of the whole body. This cleanses the whole body and has the effect of rebirth."

"A Yuan Blood Martial Artist has thick skin and strong bones, weighing seven or eight hundred pounds. An ordinary Yuan Blood Martial Artist has a basic strength of several thousand pounds. Their Yuan Blood is powerful and scorching; a single palm strike can melt iron and stone, and can suppress mountain torrents and ferocious beasts. Only then can they be considered a true martial artist!"

"Even if the blood membrane doesn't dissipate, the vital blood won't die!!"

"If it's not a martial artist of the same level, they simply can't break through the blood membrane. Even if you try to overwhelm them with sheer numbers, it's still difficult to kill a Yuanxue martial artist."

"What do you have to kill me with?!"

The words fell.

Ning Da's legs stomped through the ground, creating a half-meter crack, and waves of scorching heat rose from the earth. He charged like a cheetah, and his casually thrown punch seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds, crashing down with a wave of scalding heat!

Shi Wen's pupils constricted slightly.

He instantly activated his full-body armor, and his originally thin body instantly grew to two meters tall, with his muscles seemingly covered in a layer of rusty luster.

clang!

The fist slammed into the arms that were blocking.

Shi Wen was sent flying as if he had been hit by a cannonball, his figure flying backward and crashing through the house in the courtyard.

"You dared to kill my brothers, and you have no connections whatsoever! You deserve to die!!!"

Ning Da's face was contorted with rage, and he exuded a terrifying killing intent. He leaped more than ten meters into the house, grabbed the figure, and began to unleash a barrage of punches!

A loud rumbling sound.

It was as if a humanoid beast was venting its anger wildly in the ruins, causing walls and courtyards to collapse and the earth to tremble wherever it went!

boom!

Ning Da was kicked away by Shi Wen, followed by Shi Wen's hysterical outburst!

"Double collision, double sun peak, dusting, lion's mouth closed, Yama beckons..."

Shi Wen attacked with frenzy, and what seemed like polite gestures turned into deadly attacks in his eyes!

Shi Wen used his techniques of lifting, embracing, carrying, and entangling to the fullest extent. His fists and elbows, as hard as iron, were enough to shatter stone tablets, but when they hit Ning Da, they made a muffled sound like the thumping of cowhide.

Now, every punch he throws with his full power is a testament to that.

He was able to cripple one of them with a single punch during his previous fight with Wang San and the others.

However, nowadays, even if Ning Da stands there and lets him hit him, he can hardly inflict any fatal damage on Ning Da!

The opponent's skin and flesh were incredibly tough, as if they were made of layers of cowhide. When he threw a punch with all his might, it was as if he had hit cotton, and all his strength was dissipated.

Ning Da stared at Shi Wen with a blank expression.

It's as if the other party's actions can't cause any harm at all.

Ning Da responded casually, scanning his surroundings but still finding no trace of an ambush.

He was slightly taken aback.

Could it be that what this child said is true?

If that's the case...

Ning Da grabbed Shi Wen's fist with one hand, a ruthless killing intent flashing in his eyes. "Kid, you really don't have anyone protecting you?!"

"Then die!!!"

"puff…"

However, with just one elbow strike, Shi Wen's chest caved in, and he flew backwards several meters away...
