Chapter 40: Breakthrough to the eighth level of martial arts, the unyielding martial god.
Zeng Anmin swam desperately, trying to get away from the river bank and then resurface.
But the burning sensation in his lungs reminded him that if he didn't breathe, he would most likely become the first cultivator in history to suffocate to death by himself.
“Wow~”
His diving slowed down.
Consciousness gradually became hazy.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
No, I’ll just expose myself. I can’t suffocate myself to death!
Zeng Anmin sighed inwardly and began to struggle upwards towards the river.
But suddenly, he paused.
"this……"
The martial arts energy in the body circulated wildly, washing every corner.
In the abdomen, the breath condensed into a vortex and gathered more and more.
At this time, huge changes were taking place in his body.
Zeng Anmin seemed to be thinking about something.
The entry given to him by the plug-in makes him have the combat power of the eighth rank even though he is a ninth rank.
Where does this eighth-grade combat power come from?
It is not given out of thin air.
It is to condense the martial arts energy in his body into a vortex in his abdomen, forming a "martial pill" similar to that of an eighth-grade warrior.
The accumulation of these days, coupled with the recent battle and the current crisis of lack of oxygen, caused the martial arts energy in the body to rapidly surge according to the operation mode of an eighth-grade warrior.
"Boo~"
Finally, an imperceptible sound was heard.
Zeng Anmin felt that the martial arts energy in his body had become much more condensed, and the cyclone in his abdomen seemed to be compressed extremely tightly.
If the original breath was a small stream, now it is a surging river!
The martial arts Dantian is condensed, and the eighth level has been achieved! !
With the operation of Wudan, the burning and oppressive feeling in the lungs was instantly relieved a lot! !
At the same time, [high-end military force] also began to play a role!
The martial arts pill in the body released a stream of martial arts energy, which circulated around and rushed straight into the sea of consciousness.
His mind suddenly became clear, and he could even feel the frequency of the water flow around him!
Having just entered the eighth level, one already possesses the awareness that only the seventh level of visualization can possess! !
Moreover, the system prompt appeared before my eyes.
[Congratulations on breaking through the level]
【Martial Arts entries loaded】
[Please choose one of the following three martial arts terms. ]
[Special: Martial Arts Qi: Increases martial arts progress tenfold every two hundred years.]
[Assist: Unyielding Martial God: Immune to all spirit and mental attacks.]
[Color: Martial God's Wrath: Consume all of your lifespan to infuse yourself, raising your realm to the Martial God realm for a quarter of an hour.]
[Note: Unselected entries will disappear permanently. Countdown 30, 29, 28...]
After just a brief hesitation, Zeng Anmin directly chose the second one.
The first one takes too long.
The third one...do I look so short-lived?
[Unyielding Martial God: Immune to all spirit and mental attacks.]
A warrior is born with a strong body.
But the only weakness is the defensive measures of the soul.
This is very important.
Apart from anything else, the vivid Confucian and Taoist self-examinations left a deep grudge in his heart.
…
After the breakthrough, the martial elixir in his body slowly rotated in his dantian, slowly relieving the pressure on his lungs.
Although no internal circulation was formed, it was enough for him to hold his breath for much longer.
So Zeng Anmin was no longer in a hurry. He swam forward slowly, trying to get away from the river as soon as possible.
"Um?"
"That is..."
While Zeng Anmin was diving, he suddenly saw a huge rock blocking his way.
The huge rock was like a peak, growing out from the bottom of the water.
What surprised him was that there were several huge scales on the boulder.
He swam closer slowly, carefully observing the scales on the boulder in front of him.
Like a mirror, it reflects his extremely handsome appearance.
Such big fish scales?!
Zeng Anmin reached out his hand curiously, touched the scale, and gently pulled it, and the scale was peeled off the boulder.
A dark cave appeared in front of him.
Several small fish swam out from the cave entrance. After seeing Zeng Anmin, they swam into the cave in panic.
Zeng Anmin looked into the cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is not big, but it is big enough for people to get in.
He reached out and groped around curiously.
Soon he touched the stone wall inside.
Such a shallow hole...
Zeng Anmin's curiosity suddenly disappeared. He took a bored look and swam forward without looking back.
I thought it was a treasure cave.
…
“Huh~”
Zeng Anmin secretly emerged from the surface of the river, greedily inhaling the air.
At this moment, he looked and saw a peasant woman washing clothes on the river bank in the distance.
and rows of fields and villages behind the shore.
"Swimmed this far?"
With his current eyesight, he could only barely see the outline of Liangjiang County City in the distance.
Zeng Anmin decided to go ashore from here.
…………
In the Governor's Office, in Zeng Shilin's room.
A corpse without an arm lay quietly on the ground.
The black cat-shaped hood was peeled off wetly, revealing a strange face.
All the officials around lowered their heads, like old dogs with their tails between their legs, not daring to breathe.
“Bang!!”
The table shook violently.
"Go find it!! Go check it out!!"
Dad withdrew his hand, his face flushed red like a mad lion, and his almond-shaped eyes revealed a strong murderous intent.
The voice contained the horror of a sea of blood and corpses:
"Tell the government office to dig three feet underground to find it!"
"yes!"
No matter how naive Wang Deli usually was, he didn't dare to say anything at this moment. He picked up the sword on the ground dejectedly and walked out the door.
The other officials all shuddered, pursed their lips tightly, and stared at the ground.
"besides!"
There was a sinister tone in Dad's voice:
"Order all the Red-robed Men of the Xuanjing Division to halt all operations related to the Jiang Palace within their jurisdiction."
"Oh my god..." Wang Deli froze for a moment, his face a little dull.
The other officials were also stunned, and some even stood up tremblingly and said:
"Sir, the assassin is Black Cat Wufu, and has little to do with the Jiang Palace."
Wouldn't that just be a fall-out?
However, the official did not say the second half of the sentence.
Zeng Shilin looked at him coldly.
The man saw murderous intent in his father's eyes.
He immediately shut up and stood back as if frightened.
"Also, have Lin Rong dispatch 3,000 soldiers from the South Wing to rescue the people from the river with all their might. We must rescue them alive..."
Dad paused, took a deep breath, and said expressionlessly:
"I want to see the body when he dies."
"yes."
Wang Deli was like a child at this time, not daring to breathe, and walked out in a hurry.
…
"All of you get out."
Dad looked at everyone else with no expression on his face.
"yes."
More than a dozen officials fled from the room as if they had been pardoned.
…
Dad sat in a chair, staring out the window with a blank look on his face.
Zeng Shilin, the governor of Fengqi Road, a second-rank official of the Holy Dynasty, who was considered to be the most powerful prince in the region, looked more like an ordinary old man at this moment.
A helpless farmer who lost his son.
…
"Wow! Is this hemp?"
Zeng Anmin walked onto the street and saw countless people in armor running towards the river with anxious looks on their faces.
People who don't know the situation might think we're going to war...
In addition to the soldiers, Zeng Anmin also saw teams of men in red clothes shouting and running towards the passing boats.
The ordinary people on the street were all terrified, with fear on their faces.
The scene when Wang Lin, the prince of the Prince of Jiang’s Mansion, died was nothing compared to this.
Even the garrison troops in the south wing of the county were dispatched!
Zeng Anmin was still wearing the official robe of the Left Clerk of the Xuanjing Division, but it was soaked through.
Anyway, it looks a bit embarrassing.
"Hey, you got a horse? Let me ride it!"
Zeng Anmin saw a group of men in red clothes passing by, and there was a familiar figure in the team, so he called out to them.
The man's body shook violently, and he turned stiffly in disbelief...
