Supreme Martial Venerable: Starting with the White Ape Cloak Hammer skill point allocation

Zhou Yuan, dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt, clung tightly to the cold roof tiles, his breathing extremely low.

The current Liu family mansion was left by the deceased father of the widow Zhuang. That poor man had no children, and all the family fortune he had worked so hard to build up was squandered by the brothers Liu Jin and Liu Yin. Now, only this riverside house remains.

The house was built along the river, and the outer city was just across the river.

Zhou Yuan swam down from the river as soon as it got dark and had been waiting on the rooftop for most of the night.

His gaze pierced through the gaps in the roof tiles, fixed on the two people inside the house.

Liu Yin and Duan Hui, the leader of the Broken Blade Gang, were still drinking. Neither of them noticed the impending danger and were completely unprepared, staggering from drinking too much.

"Follow me, and you'll have plenty of good days ahead."

Liu Yin put his arm around the neck of the Broken Blade Gang leader.

Duan Hui, who was more than ten years older than Liu Yin, had a fawning smile on his face. He was now a stray dog, and only by relying on the Liu brothers could he possibly make a comeback. Naturally, he was extremely obsequious to this boss.

The gong sounds at midnight.

Click.

Zhou Yuan made a move.

He broke through the roof tiles, pushed off the roof beams with both feet, and descended from the sky with a blurry afterimage.

He held a blacksmith's hammer in his hand; the hammerhead was as black and cold as a falling meteor.

"call!"

With a sharp whooshing sound, the hammer had already landed on the back of Duan Hui's head.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Duan Hui, the leader of the Broken Blade Gang, is a martial artist at the Body Refining Realm with rich combat experience, far superior to Liu Yin, who is addicted to wine and women.

Zhou Yuan's back muscles tensed, and the force flowed from his waist and back straight to his arms. He unleashed the power of the White Ape Cloak Hammer, swinging the forging hammer in a wide arc and smashing it into the back of Duan Hui's head.

"Click."

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

Without uttering a sound, Duan Hui lunged forward, knocking the table over and scattering food and wine all over the floor.

Duan Hui collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing, his eyes filled with horror and resentment.

Zhou Yuan's sneak attack succeeded, his feet landing squarely on Duan Hui's chest. The force of his fall broke Duan Hui's ribs, ending his last chance of survival.

Almost simultaneously, Zhou Yuan twisted his waist and spun around, sending the forging hammer flying like a whirlwind.

A hammerhead struck Liu Yin's chin with a powerful upward arc.

Liu Yin was already very drunk, and in the shock of the sudden turn of events, he had no time to react and was hit squarely.

His head snapped back, his neck bones cracking with a sickening sound, and he was sent flying upwards and backwards by the immense force of the impact.

boom!

Several breaths passed before Liu Jincai landed heavily on the ground, his jaw shattered and his head slumped limply on his shoulder.

The immense force contained in Zhou Yuan's hammer blow also broke his neck.

The room fell silent, with only Zhou Yuan's heavy breathing echoing through it.

It took no more than two breaths.

Duan Hui is dead.

Liu Yin died.

The whole process was much simpler than Zhou Yuan had expected.

No matter what your background is, you only have one life, and once you're dead, you're dead.

The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward.

Zhou Yuan quickly searched the two corpses, and without caring what he found, he stuffed it all into his pocket.

With a cold gaze, he pulled the broken knife from Duan Hui's waist, first hacking Liu Yin's corpse to pieces, and then shoving the knife back into Duan Hui's hand.

Finally, he destroyed the wounds on Duan Hui's body, making it impossible to recognize his original appearance, before quietly leaping into the river.

…………

After washing off the bloodstains in the river, Zhou Yuan quietly returned home.

"Fortunately, Duan Hui was injured and drunk when he fought the Crimson Gold Gang, otherwise I might not have succeeded so easily."

Back in his room, Zhou Yuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

He composed himself and began to review the night's actions.

After learning the reason for the incident from Li Lin, he was furious and went to Liu's residence without investigating the matter thoroughly.

At first, he didn't expect that Duan Hui, the fugitive leader of the Broken Blade Gang, would be by Liu Yin's side.

Duan Hui is, after all, a shrewd and ruthless expert in meat refining. If Duan Hui were at his peak, Zhou Yuan would definitely not be a match for him.

"Since Duan Hui is at the Body Refinement Realm, no one will suspect me at all."

Although he was somewhat frightened, Zhou Yuan was also relieved.

Liu Yin himself is not a threat, but his brother Liu Jin is a martial arts graduate, at least a strong person who has broken through four levels of barriers.

If he leaves any clues, the other party could easily take his life.

"If Liu Yin hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have been forced to take action."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath to make sure he hadn't left any traces before he began to take stock of his spoils.

Liu Yin only had a few pieces of silver on him, which added up to a little over three taels.

That bastard is all show and no substance. No wonder they're keeping a close eye on him; they're hoping to seize the Zhuo family's assets and turn their fortunes around.

Duan Hui, however, brought Zhou Yuan a great surprise.

He roughly counted and found that Duan Hui had more than seventy taels of silver on him!

"The Broken Blade Gang was defeated by the Crimson Gold Gang. Duan Hui fled and must have taken all his wealth with him. Seventy-odd taels of silver is less than I expected. As expected, it's a third-rate gang."

Zhou Yuan pondered to himself.

With over seventy taels of silver, plus the twenty taels Li Lin returned to him, he had nearly a hundred taels of silver. This was the richest he had ever been since his rebirth.

"This amount of silver should be enough to support me until I pass the martial arts examination and become a scholar."

Zhou Yuan thought to himself, "Robbing is much more lucrative than blacksmithing."

For a moment, he even had the idea of ​​becoming an outlaw.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought. He reasoned that even the most careful person can get their shoes wet, and robberies couldn't always be so successful.

Even the most insignificant gangs have their own masters behind them, and you might run into a brick wall if you're not careful.

"Evil cannot last long. The money earned from blacksmithing is more reassuring. If I can become a blacksmith in the future, I will no longer have to worry about money."

Zhou Yuan hid the silver in an earthenware jar under the bed and reached for a thin booklet.

This was also found in Duan Hui.

The Water-Cutting Knife Technique!

…………

The next day.

Zhu Yiwei stepped into the Liu residence and looked at the two gruesome corpses. His face darkened, and his anger erupted like a volcano.

"Xu Nian! Do you think we're fools?"

He kicked a chair to pieces.

"Who are they trying to fool by putting on this act of the two of them killing each other?"

He slammed his hand on the door frame, leaving a clear handprint.

The repeated killings on his territory are a blatant provocation.

"My lord, Xu Nian is a traitor to the Divine Weapon Valley. It's probably because Liu Yin kept boasting that his brother was about to join the Divine Weapon Valley that he brought this disaster upon himself."

One of the constables whispered, "Let's hurry up and report this. This is an internal strife in Shenbing Valley, and it has nothing to do with our Gaoshan County. Liu Jin can't be blamed on us."

Zhu Yiwei glanced at the constable; those words truly resonated with him.

The younger brother of a martial arts graduate died on his territory, and he couldn't bear the blame for it.

If he can't carry it, then Xu Nian will have to carry it.

This murderer can only be Xu Nian!

"Xu Nian is arrogant and has slaughtered the relatives of the disciples of Shenbing Valley. This matter has exceeded our ability to handle. You clean this place up and I will go to ask the county magistrate to ask Shenbing Valley for help."

Zhu Yiwei said in a deep voice, "Once Shenbing Valley sends experts, Xu Nian will have nowhere to escape."

…………

In the Aozi Mountain outside Gaoshan County.

A burly man sneezed several times in a row. He rubbed his sore nose and looked puzzled.

With his level of cultivation, how could he possibly catch a cold?
