Becoming a Martial Master: Starting as a Swordsmith

The moment this thought crossed my mind,

A fierce glint flashed in Shen Chu's eyes as she glanced at the two men.

He then suppressed his murderous intent and withdrew from the main hall.

But the scenes from just moments ago kept replaying in his mind.

Shen Chu knew perfectly well that these two people would not let this go so easily.

Like two rats in a sewer, they lurked in the shadows, constantly undermining and tripping each other up.

Until Li Chengwen is completely dragged into this mess.

That idiot Li Chengwen is no match for them on his own!

The same thought from before resurfaced in his mind without warning.

Kill them!

The thought came so abruptly, yet so naturally, as if it had always been lurking in his heart, only to finally emerge at this moment.

He even quickly calculated the feasibility of the operation in his mind.

Although Liu and Li Jiwu lived in the inner courtyard, their defenses were not very tight.

With his Bone Forging Realm skills, coupled with his newly mastered "Nine Steps of Wind Riding," he could easily sneak into their residence undetected, and then...

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Something is wrong!

Shen Chu stood in the shadows, her brows slightly furrowed.

The murderous intent that surged within him just now was unusually strong.

Liu and Li Jiwu are indeed annoying, and they are certainly a potential threat.

Although he wasn't a kind-hearted person, he was certainly not a bloodthirsty madman.

Why did he have such a strong thought just now, as if he couldn't bear it if he didn't kill them?

Shen Chu sensed something was wrong. He took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable restlessness in his heart, and continued walking forward.

When he returned to his own courtyard, he found that the lights in the neighboring courtyard were already on.

Li Chengwen acted quickly, having already arranged for Madam Hu and Hu Bai to stay in the courtyard next to his.

Through the low wall, he could see Hu Bai bending over to draw water from the well, while Madam Hu sat to the side, holding a wooden stick and scratching something on the ground, looking somewhat absent-minded.

Shen Chu went straight into her room without saying hello and closed the door.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.

However, the feeling of irritability did not subside; instead, it grew stronger, like a flame slowly burning in his chest, making him restless.

The faces of Liu and Li Jiwu kept flashing through his mind.

Each time it appeared, the killing intent intensified.

He opened his eyes, looked down at his hands, and saw his fingers trembling slightly.

This wasn't out of fear, but out of excitement.

He had never been so eager to kill!

Something's not right!

He knew this in his heart, but the impulse surged up like a tide, overwhelming the dam of his reason.

At this moment, the primordial energy within his body seemed to have been stimulated in some way, becoming more active and flowing slowly through his meridians, carrying an almost pleasurable rhythm.

Shen Chu suddenly opened her eyes.

Could it be the work of the primordial spirit?

This thought, like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, briefly brought him to his senses.

But that murderous intent was too strong; it was just a fleeting moment, quickly overwhelmed by an even stronger impulse.

And so, she endured it until nightfall.

He finally made a decision.

He decided to stop tolerating it.

Tonight, I'll kill those two!

......

In a short while, Shen Chu was already lying on the roof of the Liu family's courtyard.

At this moment, his figure blended even more seamlessly into the shadow of the tiles.

The night breeze brushed against the hem of his clothes, bringing a slightly cool touch, but the killing intent in his chest burned as fiercely as a flame.

Although it wasn't his first time killing someone, the thrill he felt made his blood boil slightly.

Peek inside through the crack.

Lady Liu was sitting in front of her dressing table, being helped by her maids to remove the jewelry from her head.

She yawned and waved her hand lazily, "Alright, alright, I'm tired today too. You can go out now, I can do it myself."

The maid responded, bowed, and left, closing the door behind her.

The candle flame flickered a few times, then was blown out.

The room was plunged into darkness.

Looking at the sleeping Liu Shi, Shen Chu slowly exhaled, her expression somewhat ferocious.

His right hand gripped a short knife tightly.

Kill her!

Kill her!

A voice kept urging him on.

But he wasn't stupid.

Shen Chu planned to wait until Liu was asleep before sneaking into the room silently and ending her life with a single stab!

Then kill Li Jiwu in the same way.

Finally, he returned to his own courtyard without anyone noticing!

That way, no one will find out, and no one will know.

By the time the maid discovers the body the next morning, he will already have an alibi!

However, just as he was about to take action, he suddenly saw a scene that he never expected!

In the darkness of the room, a figure sat up.

Immediately afterwards, the figure walked to the wardrobe and opened the door.

Shen Chu squinted, and by the dim moonlight, he saw Liu Shi take a set of night clothes from the wardrobe and skillfully put them on.

Liu neatly tied her hair into a ponytail, then covered her face with a black cloth. Her night clothes were so form-fitting that they accentuated her large, high breasts.

The entire changing process was completed smoothly, without the slightest hesitation or delay.

This was clearly not the first time Liu had done this.

Shen Chu froze on the rooftop, her pupils contracting slightly.

This Liu family member actually knows martial arts?

He stared intently at the figure quickly organizing the equipment, his mind racing.

This second wife, who always presented herself as gentle and virtuous in the Li family mansion, was actually someone who would change into night clothes and sneak out in the middle of the night!

The murderous intent surging within him suddenly cooled somewhat, replaced by a strong sense of curiosity.

What is she going to do?

Where is she going?

Is she dressed like that to meet someone or to do something?

Little did Liu know that a pair of eyes were silently watching her from the rooftop.

After tidying herself up, she opened the back window, deftly flipped out, and landed almost without making a sound.

Shen Chu could tell that her movements were light and steady, clearly indicating that she had a considerable foundation in martial arts.

Skin smoothing filter?

No, it's very likely the Bone Forging Realm!

Shen Chu didn't hesitate and immediately followed.

He followed Liu at a distance, maintaining a distance that was neither too far to lose her nor too far to be discovered.

The two walked quickly towards the outskirts of the city, one after the other.

At this moment, Shen Chu's murderous intent had been completely replaced by curiosity.

He wanted to see just who this Liu was!
