"It's me." Yun Shou gripped the green iron knife tightly, but the martial artist's physique was too strong. He only used a little force, but he deformed the iron hilt and made a dent in it, forming a fingerprint.
Xu Ruohai laughed domineeringly: "I don't care where you got your martial arts skills or kung fu, but you signed a contract of servitude with the Qinghe Gang, so you are a dog of the Qinghe Gang!"
He pointed his thick fingers at the two dark-faced young guards.
"Dogs are not fit to hurt or bite people. Dogs that bite people must either be tamed or—die!"
As he uttered the last word, he charged forward, his figure towering like a bear, and his large cleaver was wreathed in the dark blue energy of the Great Perfection stage of the Water Dragon Technique!
"Good timing!"
Yun Shou laughed loudly. He had wanted to say this sentence full of martial arts meaning for a long time. The next moment, in Xu Ruohai's astonished gaze, bright white energy also surged from his body, enveloping the green iron knife.
It looked like he was using significantly more energy than him, and he was also mobilizing his energy much faster!
A sense of foreboding flashed in Xu Ruohai's eyes, and now, the blades of the two men had clashed.
One of them was a large cleaver that was over 1.8 meters long, taller than Yun Shou himself, wider than a palm's width, and weighed over 80 kilograms.
The other weapon was a standard-issue blue iron sword weighing only four jin and nine liang, with a blade length of just one meter, and it was far inferior in other aspects.
When martial artists of the same level fight with these two different weapons, the difference in strength is already apparent from the start—at least before a Grandmaster develops internal energy, the quality of the weapon has a huge impact on strength.
Even reaching the Grandmaster level doesn't mean the weapon's effectiveness is weakened: it just means the materials are inferior. Don't you see how divine weapons are forged with the blood of demons? Even Grandmasters who have used them say they are excellent.
But this is on the premise that the strengths are similar.
collapse!
Explosion!
It wasn't the sound of a mountain splitting and rocks cracking, but rather the sound of thunder crashing down!
A figure flew back at an even faster speed than when it rushed forward!
The impact energy carried by his towering, bear-like body slammed into the wall, creating spiderweb-like human-shaped cracks in the gray stone wall, sending stone chips flying everywhere.
"This is impossible!" Xu Ruohai coughed up blood, and the other second-rate martial artists, who held important positions in the gang, exclaimed in surprise after he was knocked away.
Xu Ruohai was utterly horrified!
Because he sensed that the other party had stopped exerting force!
When the two blades clashed, the strength of the energy and the impact force emanating from the boy's green iron blade were more than three times that of his own!
The force that shattered his "boat-splitting sword" on the spot, and the shockwave from it, more than half his life was lost!
However, at the moment of the collision, when he was knocked back and sent flying by the opponent's attack, he felt that the boy had withdrawn most of his energy!
Xu Ruohai slid off the wall, clutching his chest. His current injury was only due to the initial collision. Most of the subsequent attacks were withdrawn by the opponent; otherwise, he would have broken at least one bone!
When he looked up at the boy walking slowly towards him, his eyes were filled with fear.
"Xu Ruohai... is weaker than I thought. He only used 30% of his strength, yet he still couldn't even block a single attack."
Yun Shou didn't want to kill Xu Ruohai in one move; he was a man who valued his promises.
He drew his sword and walked toward Xu Ruohai. A layer of blazing white energy spread from the hilt of the sword all the way to the tip, adding a flashing effect.
"You brat, this is not the place for you to show off!" A loud shout came, and Yun Shou turned his head to see that a leader of the Qinghe Gang had already stepped forward with a gun.
Behind him, three other second-rate leaders hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and stepped forward with their swords drawn.
The four second-rate martial artists had fought together before, and the four of them combined could fight the gang leader. Even if they were no match for this kid, they should still be able to suppress him to some extent. Once the gang leader recovered and stopped underestimating him, the five of them working together would surely be able to take him down!
Confidence ↑up
In the blink of an eye, the four men surrounded Yun Shou. The boy stood there dumbfounded, not knowing to make a move or dodge in advance, which delighted the four leaders.
How dare you underestimate us, the Four Heroes of Qinghe! Today, we will make sure you never leave alive!
Each of us has extraordinary abilities, unique skills, and amazing fighting spirit and patience. Our secret techniques can also bring unexpected surprises!
"Azure Dragon Probes with Claws!"
"River-Breaking Divine Spear!"
"A peerless strike!"
"The Sword That Vanishes Without a Trace!"
All four leaders were powerful second-rate individuals at the "blood exchange and flesh coagulation" stage. With a joint attack from Pu Yi, even ordinary first-rate individuals would suffer a minor loss!
As for Yun Shou... he didn't even draw his sword.
He simply stood there, like a wooden figure, yet when knives, guns, swords, and claws came at him, he shone brightly!
The energy transformed from the perfected Sun Technique is just this bright!
At that moment, he became the embodiment of light, shining so brightly that it was impossible to look directly at him!
"My eyes!"
"What powerful thrust!"
The four leaders cried out in alarm, as if they had crashed into an invisible barrier. They were sent flying several steps backward, and it took them several steps to regain their balance after landing.
This is because Yun Shou unleashed his full power from head to toe!
This is something that top-tier martial artists simply cannot do, because top-tier martial artists rely on mobilizing and releasing their internal energy, and their internal energy is usually contained in a single mass. Most people cannot release their internal energy simultaneously in two different parts of their body.
The martial arts master has achieved the circulation of energy, and can instantly release energy from the entire body. Moreover, not only can it be released instantly, but it can also be released simultaneously, without any limitation of releasing energy from multiple places!
However, using it like Yun Shou is too wasteful. Its power is so weak that it can't even kill a third-rate martial artist, and it also consumes a lot of energy.
It's only good for showing off.
"Wait, who exactly are you?!" Xu Ruohai adjusted his breathing, and compared to his domineering attitude before he attacked, his words now carried a hint of submission.
"You can't be that kid named Yun Shou. He only signed a contract with the gang two years ago. He couldn't possibly be a martial arts school owner!"
Martial Arts School Master!
Martial arts master!
The four leaders were stunned. They were only second-rate martial artists, yet the person they had just attacked was a martial arts master!
"Circulation of energy, unleashing energy throughout the body!" A leader exclaimed, realizing the characteristics of a Martial Master, which was precisely the dazzling light that Yun Shou had just displayed.
Yun Shou didn't answer Xu Ruohai, but upon hearing the leader's words, he smiled and added, "The energy circulation is more than that!"
Without him making any move, his body just trembled on the spot, and a series of firecracker-like sounds exploded: his muscles and bones resonated!
Fourth Leader: "..."
Xu Ruohai: "..."
"I have good martial arts aptitude, there's nothing I can do about it." Yun Shou spread his hands helplessly: "A few days ago, an old man passed by, saw me, and insisted on taking me as his disciple."
"Then he just casually tossed the martial arts manual to me, and I picked it up and practiced it casually."
"Hey, guess what?"
"I have become a martial artist."
"I've regained my strength."
"The energy has circulated."
"whee."
The Qinghe Gang members: No, not at all.
