From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Women who robbed people on the road and young ladies kidnapped from the city were all imprisoned here. Some were to be sold to slave traders, while others were kept to extort ransom.

More than twenty people huddled together, leaning against the cold stone wall in the darkness, like falling into an ice cave in the dead of winter, unable to breathe, helpless and alone, only able to keep sinking.

Just when all hope seemed lost, the door of the stone house suddenly opened, and a humanoid monster covered in scales with a scorpion tail on its back walked in.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Chen Shi glanced at the trembling women and said something as gently as possible.

Then they prepared to enter the stone house and take them away.

"Trying to save people? Dream on!"

Just then, a cold shout suddenly rang out, and a short, but exceptionally broad-shouldered, middle-aged man with a bushy beard stepped out from the crowd.

"Boss! Save me!"

Upon seeing the man, the burly man in blue, who had been meek and submissive just moments before, suddenly lit up with excitement, shouting for help while crying with a face full of grievance.

"That scoundrel broke my arm! Waaah~ Boss, you have to avenge me!"

Gang leader?

Chen Shi glanced at him and realized that the black-clad man was the leader of the Chang Le Gang.

During the day, Peng Yan inquired about some information and found out that the man's name seemed to be Chen Tiehan.

"Release Elder Wang."

Chen Tiehan shouted, his face dark as he looked at Chen Shi.

"Did you hear that?! Our gang leader ordered you to release me!"

The burly man in blue struggled a couple of times, his tone slightly coquettish.

Looking at the sobbing, burly man in blue in his hands, and then at Chen Tiehan with a concerned expression, Chen Shi paused, then suddenly felt nauseous.

No wonder so many women, including some quite beautiful ones, were locked up in this stone house.

It turns out that Chief Chen has different personal preferences.

However, this has nothing to do with Chen Shi.

"If you want me to release him, then make way for me, and I'll take these women down the mountain. Once they're safe, I'll release them."

Chen Shi, carrying the burly man in blue, smiled slightly.

"Boss~"

The burly man in blue shouted, looking at Chen Tiehan with a pitiful expression.

Chen Tiehan's face was gloomy. After a moment, he walked straight toward Chen Shi.

"If you know what's good for you, release me now, or you'll die a horrible death. Our gang leader is a sixth-rank martial artist!"

The burly man in blue became even more smug, assuming that the man had come to rescue him.

As Chen Tiehan approached step by step, Chen Shi became secretly wary.

Whoops!

With a distance of several meters, Chen Tiehan suddenly pounced forward without hesitation and threw a punch at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi was prepared and immediately blocked the burly man in blue in front of him.

boom!

Chen Tiehan did not stop at all, and punched the blue-clad strong man squarely in the chest and abdomen. The sound of bones breaking and piercing internal organs could be faintly heard.

"Boss..."

Blood trickled from the corner of the blue-clad burly man's mouth as he stared at Chen Tiehan with astonishment, managing only a forced smile.

"Aim carefully, or you'll hurt them."

Chen Tiehan didn't say anything, and then threw another punch, completely disregarding the burly man in blue.

Since Chen Tiehan didn't care, why should Chen Shi be polite and simply use the burly man in blue as a human shield?

Chen Tiehan's attack was exceptionally fierce; after just two punches, the burly man in blue was lifeless.

"Utterly useless."

Now Chen Tiehan was even less concerned. Carrying it in his hand was inconvenient. Chen Shi curled his lips and casually threw the blue-clad strong man's corpse aside.

He glanced at Chen Tiehan across from him and chuckled softly.

He doesn't even care about his own mistress; he's ruthless.

That makes sense, though. You can't stand firm if you're not ruthless, otherwise how could you become a gang leader?

"You killed Elder Wang! I will avenge him!"

Chen Tiehan let out a cold shout and threw another punch at Chen Shi.

"You clearly killed him, so why are you pretending to be all sentimental now?"

Chen Shi snorted and met the attack with a punch.

boom!

The two fists collided. Chen Shi stood still, while Chen Tiehan staggered back several steps.

"That's some real strength."

Chen Tiehan steadied himself by pushing off with his feet, and couldn't help but re-examine Chen Shi. Then he snorted coldly, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, he smiled and asked a question.

"Does your hand hurt?"

"Your hand hurts?"

Chen Shi looked at his fist and saw nothing wrong with it.

However, Chen Tiehan's punch just now was indeed much harder than others'.

Looking at Chen Tiehan's confident expression, Chen Shi had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Chen Tiehan's divine body must be something like copper skin and iron bones, which is why his fists are so hard.

Thinking of this, Chen Shi couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Little did they know, these were dragon scales, not ordinary scales, and their defensive strength far surpassed that of ordinary blood qi condensation.

Furthermore, although the withered wood divine body, as a superior warrior-level body, primarily possesses self-healing abilities, its defensive capabilities are not inferior to some inferior warrior-level divine bodies.

Chen Tiehan's punch just now didn't hurt Chen Shi at all.

"Judging from your young age, you're already a seventh-rank martial artist; you're quite a talent. If you're willing to submit to me, I might spare your life."

Chen Tiehan spoke again, adopting an arrogant and condescending attitude.

"To submit to you?"

Looking at the corpse of the burly man in blue beside him, Chen Shi felt a chill run down his spine.

Too lazy to waste words, he charged straight at Chen Tiehan.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Chen Tiehan gave a cold shout and clenched his fist to meet the attack.

boom!

Another muffled thud, the two fists collided again, and then Chen Tiehan was sent flying.

It landed on the ground, creating a large crater.

"Heh, it's sturdy enough."

Chen Shi glanced at it and couldn't help but smile.

"you……"

Chen Tiehan got up, his brows furrowed as he stared at Chen Shi, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

Chen Shi's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"Come on, let's see if it's my hand that hurts, or your butt!"

The next moment, Chen Shi rushed forward again, and without the slightest hesitation, he threw another punch.

Chen Tiehan's expression changed drastically. He no longer dared to be careless and quickly raised his arms to block.

A deafeningly loud bang was heard, sounding like metal clashing.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Tiehan was sent flying again.

Chen Shi stood there, looking at his fist, his brows furrowed slightly, the dragon scales shattered.

As expected, the amount of earth vein power that can be mobilized by physical strength alone is limited.

Imagine, the earth is vast and boundless, and the power of the earth is so immense. Unless one possesses a king-level, heaven-supporting divine body, ordinary people simply cannot connect to the power of the earth's veins, let alone utilize it.

Chen Shi pondered that if he could cultivate to the fifth grade of the Asura Mirror and condense his Dharma Body, he would be able to mobilize more of the power of the meridians.

"Ahem!"

While pondering, Chen Tiehan got up from the ground again, coughed violently, and spat out blood from the corner of his mouth.

Looking at Chen Shi standing there, a look of fear appeared on his face.

Although his Iron Arm Divine Body is only of the lower level of the Warrior rank, all its wonders are contained in his arms. In terms of the strength of his arms alone, it is no less than that of the upper level of the Warrior rank!

Chen Shi's punch just now almost broke both of his arms!

Even though his arm managed to withstand the impact, the enormous shock still damaged his internal organs.

"No! You're not a seventh-rank official!"

Suddenly snapping out of his daze, Chen Tiehan exclaimed in surprise.

"I never said I was a seventh-rank official."

Chen Shi sneered and charged forward again, ready to finish off Chen Tiehan.
