Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Inside the main hall of Changfeng Escort Agency.

Lu Cheng sat at the lower end of the table, while Feng Qi and the other two speculated about the Zhenwu Camp's actions.

Before there was any result, a disciple's voice rang out from outside the door:

"Three镖头 (bodyguards/escorts), the Zhenwu Battalion has surrounded the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts School!"

Lu Cheng was surprised.

The Zhenwu Battalion moved very quickly.

He was already quite fast riding alone.

The convoy traveled for three days, but he covered the distance in less than two days.

After returning to Yangcheng, there was no delay, and they went straight to find the three镖头 (bodyguards/escorts).

But no sooner had they finished speaking than the Zhenwu Camp surrounded the Zhuque Martial Arts School.

This shows that Shen Yi gave the order as soon as the news reached Zhenwu Camp.

Lu Cheng, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, we need to prevent future problems.

Lu Cheng looked at the three镖头 (bodyguards/escorts), and coincidentally, the three of them also turned to look at Lu Cheng:

"Let's go take a look together, if there's a chance..."

The words were left unsaid, but the meaning was already quite clear.

……

Suzaku Martial Arts School.

The moment Xue Yin finished reading the document.

The soldiers behind immediately moved aside.

They revealed more than a dozen terrifying ballistae behind them.

With a "clang," the soldier operating the ballista immediately slammed down the trigger.

A dozen or so three-foot-long crossbow bolts instantly tore through the air, whistling as they shot toward Zhang Rensheng on the wall.

These ballistae were specially prepared by the Zhenwu Camp for body-refining martial artists.

The five-inch-long crossbow tip was made entirely of wrought iron.

The crossbow shaft was also made of ironwood.

It takes four trained soldiers to use the winch to wind up a ballista.

Such a terrifying weapon is something even a martial artist with perfected body refinement would avoid!

Zhang Rensheng was only at the early stage of body refinement, so how could he possibly resist?

A terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped Zhang Rensheng.

Zhang Rensheng felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could even blink, his strength exploded, and he twisted his body to crawl down the wall.

Most of the dozen or so crossbow bolts missed their mark.

A few were driven into the wall, creating a hole the size of a bowl with a "thud," and the crossbow shaft was still trembling.

One of them even grazed the top of the wall, instantly chiseling through the bricks, and shattered bricks and stones rained down.

Zhang Rensheng, who barely dodged the crossbow bolts, fell to the ground inside the wall, his body covered in cold sweat.

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately yelled:

"Get out of here! They're after us dead!"

Even without him saying it, everyone else already knew.

Unfortunately, knowing is one thing, but being able to escape is another.

Two squads of Zhenwu Battalion soldiers had completely surrounded the Zhuque Martial Arts School.

Several disciples, sensing the danger, had already tried to escape by climbing over the wall.

But as soon as he landed, he was pinned to the ground by several spears.

Those who dared to resist were instantly stabbed into bloody gourds.

With a loud bang, the door shattered into pieces.

Four soldiers, each carrying a thick iron shield, pressed in side by side.

With a "boom," the screen wall at the entrance was overturned.

Then countless soldiers filed in.

These soldiers were in groups of five.

There was a shield bearer in front, followed by two swordsmen and shield bearers, and then two spearmen.

Even martial artists in the mid-to-late stages of the Qi Refining realm would have to flee under such a formidable formation.

But as soon as you turn around, an arrow will follow and pierce your back.

Zhang Rensheng and his three companions gathered together at this moment. Seeing their family business crumbling, their resentment was palpable.

"Shen Yi! From this day forward, my Four Directions Martial Arts School will be your sworn enemy!"

"Ridiculous, do you even have a future?" A voice rang out above the four of them as Shen Yi's figure descended from the sky.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet, and at this moment, the four of them were already consumed by rage.

Seeing Shen Yi approaching, he no longer cared about the difference in strength. Without saying another word, he roared and charged forward.

Seeing this, Shen Yi snorted disdainfully and flashed into the circle of four people.

Of the four, only Zhang Rensheng and Zhou Ziwang are body-refining martial artists, while the other two are only at the peak of the internal energy refinement stage.

Therefore, even if all four of them attacked together, they would still be no match for Shen Yi.

Before long, Li Fengyi and Xun Shan of the Qinglong Martial Arts School had their heart meridians severed by Shen Yi.

Only Zhang Rensheng and Zhou Ziwang were left to desperately defend themselves.

But defeat was imminent.

……

Lu Cheng and his three companions had just arrived outside the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall.

The four stood on the roof of a two-story house, watching the chaos at the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts School from afar.

I witnessed firsthand how Shen Yi swiftly and decisively killed Zhang Rensheng and Zhou Ziwang.

Feng Zhan gasped, his mouth full of surprise and doubt:

"Has Shen Yi already achieved perfection?"

Feng Qi frowned, a rare occurrence, and spoke in a serious tone:

Even if it doesn't exist, it's not far off.

Feng Jidao:

"No wonder he even brought in the Chen and Lin families. It seems that promotion is secondary; his main goal is to use these resources to make a breakthrough."

Lu Cheng asked in confusion:

"Break through to Qi Refining? Doesn't that require Qi Condensation Pills?"

"Could one really buy a Qi Condensation Pill for 100,000 taels of silver?"

Given Yun Huizi's status and the value of the five Dongyang Sect disciple slots, a Qi Condensation Pill should not be something that can be bought for 100,000 taels of silver.

Feng Ji shook his head:

"That thing isn't worth gold or silver."

"Moreover, what is rare in Dongyang County may not be considered precious by the Dayun Dynasty."

Lu Cheng seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing that the matter at the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts School was about to be settled, Feng Ji looked at Lu Cheng and smiled:

"Alas, I never imagined that the Sixiang Martial Arts School, which had stood in Yangcheng for nearly a hundred years, would vanish overnight because of a sixteen-year-old boy."

Lu Cheng was taken aback, and couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

But suddenly, as if remembering something, he said to Feng Qi and the other two:

"Three镖头 (bodyguards/escorts), I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if you could go and resolve it?"

Before Feng Qi could say anything, Feng Ji interrupted him:

"Go ahead, but be careful not to leave any loose ends."

"Let's do it again, we don't have three spots left for the competition."

How could Lu Cheng not know that Feng Ji was joking?

He immediately adopted a serious expression:

"Second Chief Escort, rest assured, this disciple will definitely reclaim the spot!"

Feng Ji waved his hand.

Lu Cheng turned around and quickly left along the roof ridge.

Now that the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts School is gone, it's time to completely eliminate the Fish Gang, the root of all this trouble.

……

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Cheng stood in a small courtyard with two sections and sighed helplessly.

"If I had known, I would have come here first."

He just went to the Fish Gang's outpost.

However, they learned that Yang Biao hadn't been showing up much lately.

They rushed to the residence without stopping, but Yang Biao had already disappeared.

Judging from the traces left inside the house, Yang Biao must have started packing his things when the Zhenwu Camp surrounded the Zhuque Martial Arts School.

Moreover, he only brought gold and silver notes; a hole in the inner room was left open, and dozens of strings of copper coins were thrown inside.

We haven't found the person yet, but we can't miss this opportunity to make money; it just so happens that we've run out of the blood-activating powder.

"Forget it, he's just a thug, not worth worrying about. Let him run away."

Lu Cheng then searched the area again.

Packing up the valuables that Yang Biao hadn't had time to take, they went directly to the alchemy workshop.

When he returned to the escort agency, he had thirteen more doses of blood-activating powder in his arms.

After resting for a while, he began to swallow the medicine and refine it.
