Transforming the false into the true, I am the only one in the world who possesses the true Dharma.

The iron blade whistled through the air and arrived in front of Xu Yan in the blink of an eye.

Faced with the two attacks, Xu Yan first struck Shi Quan with a palm, colliding with Shi Quan's fist.

Shi Quan's fist contained powerful internal energy, which scraped against the palm like a knife.

Xu Yan used his true energy to neutralize the poison, and the toxins from the Bone-Corroding Palm formed a dense net that blocked the protective energy.

As he retreated, his longsword clashed with Wolf Lord's iron knife, the tip of his sword piercing the middle of the knife.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out, and Xu Yan took a few steps back, his fingertips brushing against the longsword.

"His Heavenly Gang Fist technique is mediocre, and his swordsmanship is also average."

Shi Quan's face turned solemn: "There are actually people who are not afraid of death. They cultivate the same mental techniques and skills, and they really think that the terror of life and death is a joke."

"Whether it's a joke or not, we'll find out by trying." Xu Yan lowered his longsword to the ground, unleashing a whirlwind kick that blurred into a blur. "I'm quite interested in your heads; how about you give them to me?"

Wolf Lord unleashed a slash from mid-air, his true energy transforming into blade energy, aimed at Xu Yan's chest: "If you want my head, then come and take it yourself. I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

Before he could finish speaking, Wolf Lord was horrified to discover that the blade energy that struck Xu Yan was actually deflected by an invisible barrier.

"A method of self-protection!"

"He also possesses martial arts techniques!"

Xu Yan transformed into a blur and arrived in front of Wolf Lord, thrusting his sword towards Wolf Lord's chest.

"You have no right to bark at me."

The sword pierced Wolf Lord's chest, and the sword energy surged into Wolf Lord's internal organs like a knife twisting.

When the five internal organs encounter the clear wind and sword energy, it's like ice meeting fire; they are churned to pieces by the sword energy.

Wolf Lord let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground, his body gradually growing cold.

[Slay a wolf demon at the Five Elements Realm, and receive forty taels of life-saving coins.]

The sound of wind reached his ears. Xu Yan didn't have time to look at the smoke before raising his longsword to parry.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Shi Quan blocked Xu Yan's longsword with his fist, his eyes ferocious: "Good lad, you actually know so many martial arts techniques. You're really lucky to have survived until now."

Xu Yan remained silent, then raised his palm and placed it on Shi Quan's chest.

Shi Quan's clothes at the chest were completely torn apart, but underneath were pieces of stone armor.

"Rock-Solid Body Protection Technique, and it's not bad at all?"

Xu Yan had previously practiced the Rock-Solid Body Protection Technique, and he immediately noticed the anomaly.

Shi Quan laughed loudly: "Your palm technique is as insidious as a snake, but it's nothing special. I have already cultivated the Rock-Solid Body Protection Technique to its limit, and I'm about to break through to the Five Elements Realm. What do you have to fight me with?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Quan unleashed the Heavenly Gang Fist repeatedly. The fierce fist technique, combined with the blade-like qi, seemed to be about to tear Xu Yan apart.

He was different from the other managers.

After receiving the techniques bestowed upon them, the other stewards naturally abandoned the Rock Protection Technique.

After all, this is only a defensive technique, and it is far inferior in terms of offensive capabilities.

But Shi Quan believed that defense was the best form of offense.

The first thing a person needs to do in this world is to live.

Only by living long enough can one live a fulfilling life.

"Is this your trump card?"

Xu Yan stroked his chin, a slight smile appearing on his face. "Want to see my next technique?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Quan was stunned.

"Are you really courting death, kid?"

Each time you practice a new skill, you have to face a terrifying life-or-death situation.

Even geniuses are afraid of death, and no one is willing to practice several different techniques at the same time.

But this mysterious man in front of me actually knows a martial art?

However, Shi Quan quickly calmed down.

What good are all those techniques? Can they break through his defenses?

As he was thinking this, he felt a tingling sensation in his arms.

Xu Yan detonated the poison gas, but the gas did not penetrate and was blocked by the stone armor.

Even if it were detonated, it would only numb Shiquan for a short while.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Yan stepped back, creating distance, and at the same time raised his left leg.

Whirlwind Kick!

The true energy transformed into a whirlwind, condensing on Xu Yan's legs.

In less than a breath's time, Xu Yan unleashed more than a dozen moves in succession.

"Leg techniques?"

Looking at Xu Yan's legs kicking towards him and sensing the fierce wind emanating from them, Shi Quan said disdainfully, "So it's the Sandstorm Leg technique. It's just a running attack method. How can it turn the tide?"

He channeled his inner energy, making the stone armor even thicker, and rammed it towards Xu Yan's left leg.

"Bang!"

A dull sound rang out, and the next moment, Shi Quan felt a piercing pain.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that Xu Yan had kicked him in the chest.

It was an ordinary kick, yet a surge of true energy penetrated the stone armor, damaging his meridians.

"puff!"

Shi Quan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with horror. "Impossible! This wasn't the Sandstorm Leg technique! What did you just use?!"

Xu Yan said calmly, "Didn't you say it was 'sandstorm legs'?"

Shi Quan snarled, "Impossible! It's definitely not the Sandstorm Leg!"

He wanted to say something more, but Xu Yan had already thrust his sword at him, so he hurriedly used the Heavenly Gang Fist to defend himself.

However, his Heavenly Gang Fist was only practiced superficially, and the condensed Qi was easily dispersed by Xu Yan's sword Qi.

The long sword was stuck in his chest, the spot where Xu Yan had just kicked him.

"Click!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the stone armor on the chest, already damaged by the armor-piercing power of the Gale-Slaying Kick, shattered into dust in an instant.

The longsword successfully pierced through Shi Quan's chest and emerged from his back.

Blood flowed down the longsword and onto the ground.

Xu Yan drew his longsword and stared into the smoke ahead.

[Kill Shi Quan, and you will receive fifty taels of silver for his life.]

[Life money: 116 taels]

"As expected, those who commit murder and arson wear golden belts."

Xu Yan was quite moved.

If you stayed in the county town, it would be virtually impossible to scrape together that much money to survive.

Now, all that's needed is a simple kill.

Xu Yan turned around and glanced at the remaining wolf demons.

Under Xu Yan's gaze, the pack of wolf demons cowered in the corner.

A wolf demon, emboldened, cried out, "Master, spare us! We are useful, very useful! We can be your dogs. Whatever you want, we will go find it for you!"

The five wolf demons knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

They couldn't escape, nor dared to, for fear that if they did, all that would be left would be a headless corpse.

Xu Yan glanced at the ground, looking at the mangled human corpses, and asked, "You ate well."

The wolf demon subconsciously replied, "It's...it's alright."

Xu Yan smiled slightly: "The wind is quite noisy today."

The wolf demon looked puzzled.

At that moment, a gentle breeze swept by, and the breeze transformed into sword energy, slicing across the necks of the five wolf demons.

Five heads fell to the ground, the headless corpse twitched for a moment, and then fell still.

Kill the wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain ten taels of life money.

[Slay a wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain seven taels of life money.]

[Slay a wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain eight taels of life-saving coins.]

……

The five wolf demons brought Xu Yan another forty taels of life money. Combined with the life money he had before, Xu Yan now had one hundred and fifty-six taels of life money.

Xu Yan composed himself, his gaze sweeping over the wooden box on the ground, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"What kind of treasure could possibly make Yu Yingyue lower herself to beg for help?"
