I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 79 War is Imminent

In recent days, as the various Black Armor Guards have conducted a more thorough search of the city, another group of secret demonic martial artists have been arrested and interrogated.

During the interrogation, spies responsible for developing network members among the demonic warriors in the city were also uncovered. Following the clues, two Black Armor Guards who had evaded detection were also found.

This series of actions eliminated a considerable amount of potential risk within the city.

Most of these discovered demonic martial artists were executed after being subjected to severe interrogation.

At this moment, in the third camp, there were also demonic warriors about to be executed.

The Third Camp, the Execution Chamber.

At this moment, several demonic martial artists huddled together.

As martial artists of the Demonic Sect, they had all their meridians destroyed after their initial arrest.

He later underwent a severe interrogation, leaving him covered in wounds and unable to move easily.

Even so, they were still shackled and chained, their legs were broken, and they could hardly move.

Footsteps could be heard outside the execution chamber.

After a thorough examination, Tao Jin entered the execution chamber.

With her was another young woman.

This woman is named Tan Shang. She comes from Tao Family Village and is the most outstanding junior member of Tao Family Village besides Tan Fengying.

She had a conflict with Tao Jin before. When they first entered the camp, the people from Tao Family Village and Tan Family Village fought each other in front of the kitchen. Tao Jin and Tan Shang attacked each other with extremely fierce methods.

However, after more than four months in the camp, everyone's temper has been tempered.

Furthermore, with combat imminent, the two are now training together every day as partners in the same camp, which has largely eliminated their previous grudges.

Today, the two of them were also sent to execute these demonic martial artists.

After entering the execution chamber, Tan Shang's expression became somewhat unnatural as she looked at the several demonic martial artists who were filled with fear and numbness.

Although she was quite skilled in martial arts, she had never actually killed an enemy in actual combat.

Tao Jin was in better condition than Tan Shang, and she sized up these demonic martial artists.

She had read the files before; most of these demonic martial artists were ordinary people.

They only learned demonic arts because they were bewitched or coerced.

Even so, some of them, in order to improve their demonic powers, secretly harmed people and deserved to die.

"What should we do?"

Tan Shang glanced at Tao Jin, appearing slightly uneasy.

Tao Jin, on the other hand, acted swiftly, picking up the executioner's cleaver directly: "I asked my colleagues who carried out the executions before, and they told me to just bring the blade down quickly."

The new recruits in the Third Camp take turns participating in executions, the purpose of which is to train them so that they will not be afraid in real combat and killing.

"But……"

Tan Shang was clearly still hesitant.

However, Tao Jin was swift and decisive, directly drawing her sword and killing one of the demonic sect warriors.

Blood splattered, covering Tao Jin completely.

At this moment, the previously numb demonic warriors, upon seeing their companions' miserable state, also began to scream and struggle.

But Tao Jin showed no mercy and struck again.

Seeing this, Tan Shang could only grit her teeth and step forward with her machete.

For a moment, the execution chamber was filled with screams of agony.

Finally, the last demonic warrior was executed.

At this moment, Tao Jin was covered in blood and reeked of it.

Tan Shang threw down the knife, took a few steps back, and turned pale.

Go get the sack.

Tao Jin remained calm at this moment.

"understood."

Tan Shang glanced at Tao Jin; this was the first time she felt that Tao Jin was better than herself.

Suddenly, I felt that Tao Jin was a woman who seemed to be inherently heartless.

Tan Shang went out to get the sack, leaving only Tao Jin in the execution chamber.

vomit!

The moment Tan Shang stepped out, Tao Jin suddenly began to gag violently.

Faint blue veins were visible on her forehead, and her eyes were bloodshot.

After the vomiting subsided, Tao Jin glanced outside the door again; Tan Shang had not yet returned.

At this moment, she took out a porcelain bottle from her waist, walked to a body that was still bleeding profusely, and collected the blood into the porcelain bottle.

"Using the blood of demonic martial artists to practice demonic arts... how ironic..."

Tao Jin put the porcelain bottle away, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and then gagged again.

……

Another half month has passed, and the end of the month is fast approaching.

On this day, various camps in Kangyun County suddenly dispatched a large number of city guards and black-armored guards to march towards Qiuyun County.

Soon, everyone in the city learned that the rebels in Dingyun County had begun preparing to attack Qiuyun County.

The deployment of troops by Kangyun County this time was to provide assistance to Kangyun County.

This incident has once again thrown the city into chaos.

Some families have already begun to secretly slip out of the city to seek refuge with relatives in distant places.

Most of these people are ordinary citizens and small business owners.

As for the owners of those large shops, they were already being watched by the black-armored guards of various garrisons and could not leave at all.

Restricting them is not only to prevent the outflow of various resources, but also to prevent them from defecting to the enemy.

A few more days passed, and the Black Armor Guards and City Guards who had previously rushed to Qiuyun County returned.

On their way back to the city, the people inside the city were greatly demoralized when they saw the returning reinforcements.

Subsequently, new news emerged that Kangyun County's attempt to reinforce Qiuyun County had failed, and Qiuyun County, like Dingyun County, had fallen.

When news of the fall of Qiuyun County spread, even more people fled the city.

Everyone is afraid that Kangyun County will become the next Qiuyun County and Dingyuan County.

Panic spread throughout Kangyun County.

……

"I've received all the resources for this month."

At this moment, on Xu Ning's table were three Qi Yuan Pills and two swallowtail flowers.

"Preparing to absorb energy..."

Xu Ning seemed a little anxious.

In fact, he was also affected by the oppressive atmosphere in the city.

Only real strength can truly put Xu Ning at ease now.

-

Energy detected: 5 units —

Is it absorbed?

whether

-

"yes!"

……

Soon, 21 units of energy were absorbed by Xu Ning.

-

Name: Xu Ning

Martial arts:

Spring Breeze Technique (Mortal Realm Level 5: Qi Movement Realm) +

Source Breath Body Tempering Technique (Perfect)

Gale Blade Technique (Perfect)

Light Feather Bow Technique (Minor Mastery) +

Available energy: 80 units

-

The martial arts panel has been refreshed.

Xu Ning's remaining energy just reached 80 units, which was just enough to raise his strength to the Inner Qi Realm.

After successfully repelling the pursuers and acquiring spoils, Xu Ning's remaining energy increased to 52 units.

During these twenty days, the Thousand Source Worm expelled spiritual energy crystals seven more times, gaining another 7 units of energy.

With these 21 units now, we've just reached the required 80 units for the upgrade.

Xu Ning mentally clicked the "+" button.

-

Consume 80 units of energy to upgrade Spring Breeze Technique?

whether

-

"Yes."

In an instant, the 80 units of energy that Xu Ning had painstakingly accumulated were completely wiped out.

"Such surging internal energy!"

At this moment, Xu Ning felt a very real sense of fullness within her body.

"Before, when I was in the Qi Sensing Realm and Qi Movement Realm, I was always worried that my internal energy would be depleted during combat. Now I don't have to worry about that at all."

After advancing to the Inner Qi Realm, the quality and quantity of the inner qi that Xu Ning could store in his body increased significantly once again.

Xu Ning channeled his inner energy and unleashed his power into the air, producing a soft cracking sound.

Subsequently, Xu Ning's depleted internal energy was quickly replenished.

"The speed at which internal energy is restored has also increased by one level."

"No wonder they say that the Inner Fullness Realm is the limit of the physical body, and the Inner Qi Realm is the limit of physical strength."

Xu Ning understood: "These are already the ultimate stages that a mortal body can reach. The next realm, the seventh level of the Mortal Realm, the Mind Realm, is an even higher level of advancement..."

After a short period of adjustment, Xu Ning checked the energy units required for advancing to the Mind Realm again.

The result is 135 units of energy.

This amount made Xu Ning gasp.

That's too much.

If he could accumulate 30 units of energy each month during a peaceful period and achieve promotion in less than five months, Xu Ning would feel satisfied.

After all, for ordinary martial artists, advancing from the Inner Qi Realm to the Mind Realm might be something they could never achieve in their entire lives.

Achieving a breakthrough in just five months seems to only happen to top geniuses.

But now, with war looming, the 135 units of energy are giving Xu Ning a headache.

"It seems that my internal energy cultivation level can only be raised to this point before the war begins..."

Xu Ning pondered, "Let's see if there are any other opportunities to gain some more energy to improve my Light Feather Bow Technique, or learn some other external martial arts..."
