Ming Dynasty: I am truly not the Emperor of Longevity

That's right, this location is the brain!

The brain is large enough that it is not difficult to locate objects even while moving rapidly.

Even if the position is slightly off, it doesn't matter. As long as it touches the brain tissue, it doesn't matter which area of ​​the brain it is.

Moreover, brain tissue is very fragile and can be devastated with very little force.

"Junior Sister!"

Seeing the woman fall to the ground and not get up, the burly man ignored Lu Chen, who had already retreated and distanced himself from him, and rushed to the temple gate to pick up his junior sister.

Unfortunately, the woman's eyes had already rolled back, and she could no longer give him any response.

Lu Chen did not continue forward. This man was already at his limit and would collapse soon.

There was no need for me to risk fighting him.

"Hahaha..."

To Lu Chen's surprise, after being trapped in such a desperate situation, this person actually stared at Lu Chen and burst into laughter.

"I, Xie, have lived a life of great success, but today I have been defeated by these petty villains from the Chang Le Society!"

Having roamed the martial world for many years, Xie considers himself to have seen masters from various schools and sects.

However, I have never heard of your martial arts skills, whether it be internal strength or movement techniques.

"My time is up. Before I die, could you please tell me about your lineage, so that I can die with some understanding?"

"Your martial arts skills are superb, and I admire them greatly."

Lu Chen glanced at the burly man and sighed softly.

"I don't know what school or sect I belong to."

I told you long ago that I just happened to be passing by. What do I have to do with the grudges between you two?

If you hadn't attacked me, I wouldn't have become your opponent!

Unfortunately, since I was unlucky enough to be forced into this dilapidated temple by the heavy rain, I had no way to stay out of it.

Neither you nor the group that ambushed you will likely allow the witness who stumbled upon this place to leave alive.

"Haha, that's right!"

The burly man burst into laughter.

Even if you're not lying to me and you really just happened to stumble into this place, I, Xie, won't let you leave alive!

If those scoundrels from the Chang Le Society really succeed in assassinating Xie, they will kill you to silence you!

However, none of us expected that you would be a master with internal strength and unpredictable movements.

Even if Xie hadn't suffered that cut to his abdomen, he might not have been able to keep you alive.

Thank you for your clarification. I will take my leave now!

No sooner had he finished speaking than the strongest expert Lu Chen had ever encountered since his transmigration struck him on the top of the head with a palm, instantly killing him.

"I just overheard this man surnamed Xie say that you're from the Chang Le Society?"

Using his telekinesis to sense that the burly man was undeniably dead, Lu Chen, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked into the dilapidated temple to stand before the last two living people besides himself who could still speak.

"Ma Sankui, the leader of the Xiangyang branch of the Chang Le Society, is an old friend of mine. Are you two aware of this?"

At this moment, the two skilled men dressed as beggars were holding long knives, assuming a defensive stance, and looking at Lu Chen as if facing a formidable enemy.

"In reply to your question, young hero, Master Ma is a trusted confidant of the Third Master, so I naturally know him."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, one of them immediately threw his longsword to the ground.

"Young hero, your martial arts are unparalleled. Even a master like Xie died at your hands. I am truly impressed."

Since he is an old friend of Master Ma, he is naturally an honored guest of our Chang Le Association.

"How about we wait until the rain stops tomorrow, and then the two of us will go down the mountain with the young hero to visit the Nanyang branch?"

The other man also put down his long sword, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Chen, and said...

"The second-in-command is currently personally overseeing the Nanyang branch."

He would surely be pleased to see such a young hero as you.

They might even invite you to join their Chang Le Society and become its fourth leader!

"What do you mean?"

Lu Chen revealed a hint of interest.

"Ma San Kui also invited me to join the Xiangyang branch, saying he wanted to introduce me to the branch leader, the eldest son of the third leader of your Chang Le Society."

"Young hero, to put it bluntly, Master Ma did something really wrong."

The person who spoke first interrupted,

"With your martial arts skills, young hero, if you join our Chang Le Society, what position would be worthy of you besides the position of the fourth leader?"

How can I submit to the leader of the Xiangyang branch?

Even if he were the eldest son of the third-in-command, he wouldn't be qualified!

"What do you mean by that?"

Lu Chen felt he had grasped the underlying meaning in the man's words, and pointed to the corpse of the expert surnamed Xie.

"In your Chang Le Society, are only the three leaders capable of such martial arts?"

"That's natural. Masters with internal strength like Xie are extremely rare in the martial arts world."

The man quickly replied.

"In our Chang Le Society, only the three leaders naturally possess such martial arts skills."

"Oh, in your opinion, how do the martial arts skills of the three leaders of the Chang Le Society compare to those of this man surnamed Xie?"

Lu Chen continued to probe for information.

"Young hero, I have only heard that the second-in-command once fought this man surnamed Xie alone. As for who won and who lost, I have no way of knowing."

The other person replied,

"Young hero, your martial arts skills are no less than those of this man surnamed Xie. Why don't you go to the Nanyang branch and spar with the second leader yourself?"

Unexpectedly, Ma San Kui is really a good friend!

He's been dead for half a month, yet he's still defending himself.

It was worth it when I left Wadian Town and instructed the patrol inspector to give him a proper burial.

We actually managed to extract quite a bit of valuable information from these two skilled members of the Chang Le Society who were disguised as beggars and had set up an ambush here.

The three leaders of the Chang Le Society, like this man surnamed Xie, were also masters with internal strength.

Since the second-in-command had fought Xie alone, although it is unknown who was more skilled, the fact that both of them escaped unscathed suggests that no matter who was more skilled, the difference in their martial arts skills would not be too great.

"Who exactly are this man surnamed Xie and that woman?"

Lu Chen walked to the entrance of the dilapidated temple, pointed to the corpse of the expert surnamed Xie and the woman who still had a heartbeat and was breathing, and asked,

"Judging from his address of that woman as 'junior sister,' they must be from the same sect. Do you know which sect or school they belong to?"

"These two have been roaming the martial arts world for nearly ten years and have some reputation. I only know that they are not only fellow disciples but also husband and wife."

A skilled imposter posing as a beggar shook his head.

"But I've never heard of their lineage or teacher."

"In that case, I don't think I need to ask you anything more. I'm not really interested in joining the Chang Le Society."

Lu Chen put his hands behind his back, turned around, and faced away from the two of them.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Ma San Kui is dead. He died in front of me half a month ago."

Although I didn't do it myself, you could say they died because of me.
