She then got up from the ground, supporting herself with one hand, and looked at Chen Shi with a face full of fear.

At the critical moment, Chen Shi suddenly exploded with anger.

And its power is terrifying.

"This is……"

Chen Shi stared at the broken knife in his hand, momentarily stunned.

Although he had only just touched the threshold of exploding power, there was no mistake, he did indeed explode with power.

After the medicinal bath, Chen Shi devoted himself to rigorous training, and his internal energy gradually surged. In particular, his progress was rapid, especially with the daily use of the Hehuan Pill.

However, the training time is still short, and it is still a ways off from the point of explosive power.

I thought I would have to practice for a while longer, but I didn't expect that just now, at the critical moment of life and death, I stimulated the blood and qi in my body and successfully exploded my qi in one go.

As I mentioned before, some people deliberately put themselves on the brink of life and death in order to accelerate their cultivation.

Really useful.

"snort."

Coming to his senses, Chen Shi looked at A Qing again, letting out a cold snort with a gloomy gaze.

Having just achieved the burst of energy, the blood and qi could only extend for about an inch.

However, as long as one's blood energy is unleashed, whether it's an inch or two feet, the power will nearly double.

Chen Shi's basic strength of two thousand jin has now decreased to four thousand jin!

Even if A Qing uses special methods to release a large amount of blood energy in a short period of time to further amplify her strength, she is still far inferior to Chen Shi.

Taking advantage of his illness, Chen Shi slashed Ah Qing with a knife and immediately pounced on him.

He raised his hand and slashed again.

Before Aqing could get up, he could only raise his giant scythe to block.

Boom!

But how could he withstand the terrifying force of four thousand jin? With a loud bang and dust billowing, Aqing was once again sent flying.

Chen Shi remained expressionless, then pounced on him again.

Swish swish~!

The next moment, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and several blades of energy shot over.

As a top-grade explosive martial art, its real advantage lies in ranged attacks, rather than brute force.

Aqing reacted quickly; the giant scythe could no longer suppress Chen Shi in terms of strength, so she immediately tried to restrain him by maintaining distance.

Faced with these blades of energy, some dodged, some cleaved them in two. Chen Shi paused for a moment, then lunged at A Qing.

Aqing got up, retreating to maintain distance while preparing to continue using air blades to restrain him.

"Ugh~!"

But the next moment, Aqing let out a muffled groan, her blood and qi suddenly became stagnant, and she failed to unleash her qi blade.

The side effects of condensing the giant scythe have just occurred.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Chen Shi's menacing approach, A Qing cursed angrily.

But he couldn't worry about that for the time being and turned to run away.

Even if he were in perfect condition, let alone exhausted, he might not be a match for Chen Shi at this moment.

But as soon as he turned around, Chen Shi's henchmen rushed up and blocked his escape route.

Just now, Aqing was unstoppable, and these people retreated when they saw that things were not going well. Now that they saw Aqing was at a disadvantage, they immediately took advantage of the situation and surrounded him again.

When navigating the streets, the most important thing is to assess the situation and act accordingly.

"Get out of here!"

Aqing roared angrily and wildly swung his two-foot-long sickle.

These people still didn't fight him head-on, but relying on their numerical advantage, it wasn't difficult for them to hold him back temporarily.

Even with this slight obstruction, Chen Shi had already rushed forward.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stabbed Aqing again.

Although it was just a broken piece of a knife, the surging blood energy, carrying a force of four thousand jin, was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

With nowhere to retreat or dodge, Ah Qing's eyes were wide open, and she could only cross her sickles in both hands to block as much as possible.

Boom!

But it was no match for him. With a muffled thud, the scythe that Aqing had condensed with his blood energy instantly collapsed.

Chen Shi's broken sword was slightly blocked, and then he slashed down diagonally.

"what!"

A scream rang out, accompanied by a spurt of blood, and an arm flew off.

Aqing's face was deathly pale. She covered her left shoulder wound with her right hand and staggered backward.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Chen Shi gripped the broken knife in his hand, his face expressionless, and lunged forward again.

He's not going to cripple Aqing today, he's going to kill him!

"Why aren't you showing yourself! Are you going to just stand by and watch him kill me?!"

Ah Qing was filled with terror and had no power to resist. Suddenly, she roared loudly into the darkness.

Chen Shi frowned. Who was A Qing calling out to?

Despite his doubts, his hands did not hesitate for a moment, and the broken sword was already slashing down.

Whoosh!

Just then, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky and struck Chen Shi with a palm.

Chen Shi was on guard, and instead slashed at the dark figure.

Clang!

A piercing metallic clang echoed through the darkness, accompanied by sparks flying. The blow felt as if it had struck a steel plate, sending a shiver down Chen Shi's wrist.

After taking a few steps back and standing still, Chen Shi couldn't help but frown.

"It's you..."

"Surprised? Don't you know I'm from the first wife's family?"

Jia Shun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Shi with a gloomy expression.

Lu'er was Gu Chengze's personal servant, while Jia Shun, Lu'er's father, was from the eldest son's side.

The matter is actually not complicated.

Gu Chengze was the master's biological son, and Jia Shun was the master's man. Lu'er was the right age and had a decent appearance, so he was chosen to be Gu Chengze's study companion when he was young, and naturally became his personal servant when he grew up.

After the deaths of the second master and his only son, Gu Chengrong, the old lady, in her grief, wanted to select an outstanding member of the clan to be adopted by the second branch of the family to continue the family line.

The eldest master's second wife, Madam Li, had always regarded Gu Chengze as a thorn in her side. Under her instigation, she eventually got the eldest master to give Gu Chengze to his second wife.

As Gu Chengze's servant, Lu'er naturally followed him to the second branch of the family.

"This is between Ah Qing and me, and I advise you not to interfere!"

Chen Shi looked at Jia Shun with a serious expression, his tone carrying a warning.

Although this street gang fight has turned into a conflict between the first and second branches of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, it is ultimately just a group of street thugs. If the two branches get too involved, it would be tantamount to degrading themselves.

It's perfectly appropriate for both families to send just one servant to handle this matter.

For this reason, Xiao Fengxiao only let Chen Shi handle it himself and did not send out other experts.

As a retainer, Jia Shun's status was not low, and he was a seventh-rank military officer!

Jia Shun's intervention at this point undoubtedly escalated the situation.

If the conflict between the two families intensifies and causes any serious consequences, he will certainly be held accountable.

"I really shouldn't have gotten involved, but thankfully I came tonight."

Jia Shun stared at Chen Shi, his eyes filled with anger, and said through gritted teeth.

"If I hadn't come tonight, how would I have known that you killed my son!"

"...What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Nonsense? Ha! After Lu'er died, the manual for 'Night Battle in All Directions' that he carried disappeared along with him. What a coincidence, you immediately started practicing that sword technique!"

Jia Shun's eyes blazed with fury, and his voice was unusually deep.

"Don't forget, I'm the librarian. I've already checked, and you never applied for this martial art! If it didn't come from my son, where else could it have come from!"

"What a joke! There are many people in the Night Battle Eight Directions Society, it's not just the Marquis's mansion that has them, can't I just buy them myself!"

Chen Shi gave a soft snort, his strength and composure evident.

"Bought it? Great, show me the purchase receipt! Or tell me where you bought it from and how much you spent, so I can check!"

Jia Shun looked at Chen Shi with a contemptuous sneer.

"This...is none of your business!"

Chen Shi was speechless for a moment, and in his heart he cried out in alarm, "Oh no, the truth has come out!"
