6: Cauldron-Breaking Fist
Zhao Erming was the first to react.
They had fallen into an ambush!
And it was a very skilled archer.
He quickly raised the sugarcane in his hand above his head.
At the same time, he grabbed the henchman behind him and pulled him in front of himself.
“Bang!”
Another henchman turned to flee in the direction they came from, but after only two steps, his head was shattered by an invisible force.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Zhao Erming's face instantly turned pale with fright.
“Who! Who is it!”
“I am a core member of the Black Tiger Gang!”
“Dare to harm a single hair on my head, and the Black Tiger Gang will never let you off!”
Zhao Erming roared.
Another sound of a bowstring vibrating.
“Snap!”
The henchman Zhao Erming had grabbed and used as a human shield was directly blown into two halves.
This Qi arrow, upon entering the body, did not pierce through like a solid arrow, but instead directly detonated the arrow Qi within it.
“Ah!”
Zhao Erming went mad.
Who exactly was this person? This was clearly an expert, so why target a small fry like him, who only did odd jobs in the Black Tiger Gang?
At this moment, Zhao Erming wanted to run, but his legs were weak, and he didn't know where to hide.
Finally, Zhao Erming realized that since it was an archer, hiding in the woods would allow him to avoid it, right?
Immediately, Zhao Erming's figure rushed into the nearby bushes.
He happened to hide under the big tree where Jiang Chen was hiding.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen directly leaped down.
Swish!
Zhao Erming suddenly saw a figure land in front of him, and his face instantly turned pale with fright.
But when he saw clearly that it was Jiang Chen.
Zhao Erming suddenly realized.
“Jiang Chen… it's you…”
In Zhao Erming's eyes, there was an expression of disbelief.
The one who had just attacked and killed Hu Quan and the others was actually Jiang Chen?
A cold smile played on Jiang Chen's lips.
“Ergou, didn't I tell you not to provoke me again?”
“I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it.”
Zhao Erming's heart pounded wildly, looking at Jiang Chen's faint smile, he felt his breathing become extremely difficult.
“Jiang… Jiang Chen, don't misunderstand… I absolutely didn't mean that, it was all that Hu Quan! He is the Big Boss's younger brother, he forced me to do it!”
As Zhao Erming spoke, he also unfastened the pouch from his waist.
“Don't you want money? I'll give you all this money, and I'll pretend I never saw you, how about that?”
Zhao Erming said, and suddenly a glint flashed in his eyes.
He abruptly pulled out a short axe from behind him and lunged forward, rushing in front of Jiang Chen.
At this distance, you're going to use a bow?
Let me chop off your bow first, then we'll see what you're so arrogant about.
Zhao Erming's face instantly turned vicious.
He swung the axe at the Dragon Horn Bow in Jiang Chen's hand.
But Jiang Chen seemed to have anticipated it, his feet didn't move an inch, he just gently raised a hand.
And clasped Zhao Erming's wrist.
At this moment, Zhao Erming felt as if his wrist had been bitten by an alligator.
A sharp pain shot through his bones, and his palm involuntarily opened, the axe naturally falling to the ground.
Crack!
Jiang Chen now possessed the strength of ten thousand jin in a single hand.
Crushing Zhao Erming's wrist was as simple as crushing an egg.
“Ah!”
“My hand!”
Zhao Erming's eyes nearly popped out.
This excruciating pain was a hundred times more intense than when Jiang Chen had chopped off his finger last time!
“Don't say I didn't give you a chance.”
“What are the strengths of the various bosses in the Black Tiger Gang?”
“Tell me, and I'll let you go.”
Jiang Chen said faintly.
The reason he kept this guy alive was precisely to extract some information.
“Hiss…”
Although Zhao Erming didn't know what Jiang Chen was planning.
And Jiang Chen's strength seemed to be even greater than before.
He could kill Hu Quan with a single arrow.
No matter how stupid Zhao Erming was, he wouldn't dare to go against Jiang Chen.
“If I tell you… will you really spare my life?”
Zhao Erming took a deep breath.
Meeting Jiang Chen's indifferent gaze, his body immediately trembled.
“There are a total of three bosses in the Black Tiger Gang. The Second Boss and the Third Boss are both at the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm.”
“The Big Boss's strength is unknown; he hasn't made a move in a long time.”
Zhao Erming quickly said.
He then immediately looked up at Jiang Chen, wanting to ask if Jiang Chen would keep his promise and let him off.
The next moment, however.
Jiang Chen kicked him.
Zhao Erming's entire body turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Bang!
Only a few bones and teeth flew out.
“Ding… Enemy Kill Value + 1”
He now had a total of five points of Enemy Kill Value.
He needed five more points to continue unlocking the martial arts scroll.
Letting Zhao Erming go?
That was naturally impossible.
Should he wait for him to go back and find people to deal with him?
Picking up Zhao Erming's money pouch.
Jiang Chen then went to the road and searched the bodies of the other three.
Throughout the process, he remained vigilant; with Jiang Chen's current perception.
If an ordinary person approached within a hundred zhang of him, he would be able to roughly sense it.
Of course, if there was an expert, that would be another matter.
The overall improvement in his Physical Body quality was probably even stronger than the perception of some Martial Arts experts.
“Still the Undefeated King, with only two taels of broken silver on his whole body, what a waste!”
“He doesn't even have a Storage Pouch.”
Jiang Chen kicked Hu Quan's corpse again, cursing.
However, he did eventually find a fist manual in Hu Quan's embrace.
“Crushing Cauldron Fist?”
Fist manuals were still quite prestigious in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, Jiang Chen had heard before that Cultivators paid more attention to the true meaning diagrams of fist manuals.
Fist manuals were just simple records of moves.
Only true meaning diagrams could allow one to comprehend powerful moves and one's own Martial Arts True Meaning.
An ordinary fist manual might only cost a few taels, or a few dozen taels of silver.
But a true meaning diagram could be worth thousands of taels, with no upper limit.
However, this particular fist technique was also something Jiang Chen needed.
Now, he had brute strength but didn't know how to wield it, so he naturally needed to master more methods to better utilize his power.
He placed all his gains into the System space.
Jiang Chen left directly.
As for the bodies of the few people, it wouldn't be long before they were dragged away by the wild beasts in the nearby mountain forest.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen roamed Wu Huai Mountain for another two rounds.
He seized the opportunity to hunt a wild boar and brought it back.
Firstly, there wasn't much food left at home.
Secondly, Jiang Chen also wanted to see if killing these wild beasts would increase his Enemy Kill Value.
But perhaps the wild boar wasn't worthy enough, as Jiang Chen's Enemy Kill Value did not increase.
As the sun was about to set.
Jiang Chen finally dragged the wild boar's corpse and appeared at the village entrance.
“Jiang Chen, you actually hunted such a big catch today!?”
“My goodness, this wild boar must weigh over three hundred jin.”
“Xiao Chen, well done!”
Some villagers, seeing the large wild boar Jiang Chen dragged, were instantly filled with envy.
“Uncle Chai, Aunt Jiao, I'll butcher the pig later and bring some to you.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Over the years, Jiang Chen knew in his heart who had been good to him and who hadn't.
Uncle Chai used to be a hunter, but two years ago he broke a leg and now does some bow and arrow work at home. When Jiang Chen was in dire straits and came to Uncle Chai to buy arrows, he rarely charged him.
Aunt Jiao also took great care of Cheng Yurou, often bringing over some nourishing tonics and soups.
“Xiao Chen, there's no need to be so polite, we still have some of the rabbits you brought last time.”
The two of them also chuckled.
They had a very high opinion of this child, Jiang Chen.
They truly envied Da Lei for having such a good child.
Jiang Chen dragged the wild boar back home.
“Rou'er, I'm back.”
