114: I just want to ask you, can you bear it?

Ten seconds... twenty seconds... A middle-aged man, one point four-five meters tall with a sharp face and monkey-like cheeks, caught up.

He looked at Chu Qing and the others, then at the pile of valuables on the ground, and his eyes immediately turned red with rage.

“You deserve to die!”

Chu Qing didn’t even glance at the thin monkey, but instead directed the black-robed servants to meticulously count the valuables.

Cui Moyang, Wang Yinyang, Nangong, Mingyue, Zhao Hongxiu, and the others surrounded Feng Houzi with killing intent.

“You, a mere servant, dare to speak to us like that?”

“Who gave you the courage?”

Except for Zhao Hongxiu, they were all Young Masters of Prominent Families, though not from Zhou City.

However, their innate sense of superiority made them look down on common people.

And even though Feng Houzi was a Martial Artist.

Even though he was high and mighty in front of common people.

They still looked down on him.

After all, not everyone could completely suppress them like Chu Qing.

Feng Houzi was furious and ashamed.

The main person didn't even look at him.

This made him feel like a clown.

He laughed in extreme anger: “You bumpkins from the countryside, do you know who you’ve offended?”

“You’ve offended…”

Whoosh!

Cui Moyang struck first.

Nangong, Mingyue, and the others followed close behind.

The saber light was dazzling.

The hairpin sword was like a startled swan!

The longsword was like a swimming Dragon.

Feng Houzi sneered, thinking, no matter how fierce these 'crossing-the-river Dragons' from the countryside are, what can they do?

He swung his hands, which were fitted with sharp claws.

“Just one strike is all it will take to wipe out these bumpkins from the countryside.”

“Then…”

Puff!

Puff!

In just an instant, the hairpin sword pierced his chest, the long saber severed his head, and the longsword also penetrated his body.

Feng Houzi’s eyes were wide, very wide.

At this moment, he panicked.

And panicking would lead to death.

He never dreamed he would die so quickly.

“What exquisite Moves!”

“What Powerful strength!”

“These people have at least cultivated Silver Tendons.”

“Their origins are extraordinary!”

“And what kind of identity does the person commanding them have?”

With endless questions, Feng Houzi died.

Crack!

Mingyue’s chaotic saber strikes turned his head into a bloody pulp.

“How dare trash without even a single Golden Tendon be so arrogant?”

A few minutes later, The Crowd set off again.

After they had traveled for a long time, the Cloth-Clad Saber Master caught up with a group of people.

Seeing Feng Houzi’s corpse, they fell silent.

After a long time, the Cloth-Clad Saber Master ordered his men to collect the body.

“Let’s go, back!”

The next day;

The Cloth-Clad Saber Master, who had stood outside the door all night, met Second Miss Wang again.

After hearing the news, Second Miss Wang was silent for a moment and said:

“Don’t pursue them anymore!”

“They are very Powerful!”

“Ruthless!”

“They kill without batting an eye!”

“Country folk… are just crude.”

“Just pretend you didn’t see them!”

The Cloth-Clad Saber Master was stunned, remaining silent for a long time.

He hadn’t expected the incredibly strong Second Miss Wang to actually back down.

The Cloth-Clad Saber Master left.

Second Miss Wang frowned, contemplating: “These 'crossing-the-river Dragons' are probably minor Noble families from the countryside.”

“If it were before, I would spare no effort to eliminate them.”

“But now, the imperial star is unstable, and the Millennial Calamity is approaching!”

“Give them a chance to struggle.”

...A few days later, returning to Shiji County, both Chu Qing and Cui Moyang and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip to Zhou City, though brief, was very smooth.

However, they were all under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, they didn’t encounter any masters this time.

Nor did they suffer any losses.

Instead, they plundered a lot of wealth.

Various Secret medicines, general Secret medicines, golden incense, and even over a hundred portions of nourishing ointments.

But what delighted Chu Qing the most was black gold.

After counting, it was discovered that there were over one hundred and fifty taels of black gold.

This much black gold was enough.

Black gold consumed:

【You have completed the first condition of the Black Water Bone Forging Method!】

Whew!

Chu Qing let out a long breath.

Now, for the Secret Inheritance Black Water Bone Forging Method, only applying the Secret medicine remained.

Originally, Chu Qing wanted the profession panel to absorb all the Secret medicine in one go.

Result:

The profession panel prompted that topical Secret medicines were special and had to be applied to the body little by little.

If applied according to the routine, a maximum of twenty-four portions could be applied per day.

To apply a thousand portions would take over three months.

That was too long.

Chu Qing could not accept it.

“It seems I can only apply it repeatedly and quickly.”

“Although it will waste a lot.”

“But… it can be completed three months earlier.”

In Martial Dao Cultivation, one step fast means every step is fast.

He couldn’t waste time.

However, this Cultivation would take many more days.

Before officially Cultivating, he decided to go see Madam Jin first.

And while he went to see Madam Jin, Cui Moyang and the others wrote letters to their Families.

They detailed this trip to Zhou City.

The servants left with the letters.

Cui Moyang and the others held a small meeting.

They analyzed the gains and losses of this operation and deduced the follow-up.

Finally, Nangong said:

“The people of Zhou City will definitely not let this go!”

“They will either directly trouble us or trouble our Families!”

“Everyone, what should we do?”

Cui Moyang sneered: “Those who trouble us, kill them directly.”

“Those who trouble our Families, let the Families deal with it themselves.”

Nangong hesitated and said: “Will the Families be enraged?”

Wang Yinyang suddenly said: “When we were weak, our Families protected us!”

“Once we become Powerful, we can repay our Families!”

Nangong nodded… Zhao Hongxiu was drinking.

This trip to Zhou City, she had thought she would have a good opportunity to show off.

Result:

Her strength was too weak.

Chu Qing had her wear a black robe and command the servants.

At the time, she felt her dignity was trampled upon.

However:

Only after arriving in Zhou City did she realize;

Her over two hundred Iron Tendons, which she was so proud of, were actually nothing.

Upon returning, Feng Houzi pursued them.

She had also made a Move.

But… before her weapon even landed on the enemy, the enemy was already dead.

Humiliation!

A great humiliation.

“Why is the gap between me and the Young Masters of Prominent Families so huge?”

“And the Young Masters of Prominent Families are suppressed by Chu Qing.”

“Chu Qing… how terrifying is he?”

“What am I lacking compared to them?”

Previously, she didn’t care about the gap between herself and the children of the Powerful.

But Chu Qing’s performance gave her a competitive spirit.

“Chu Qing, in his plain clothes and bare feet, has an even lower status than me.”

“But he suppresses the Young Masters of Prominent Families, making even a proud daughter of heaven like Cui Moyang submit.”

“I don’t expect to catch up to him, but if I had half his strength, no… even a third of his strength, that would be great!”

Zhao Hongxiu was eager to improve.

Her eyes flickered, her thoughts churning.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

She opened it and found Shi Tiezhu.

Shi Tiezhu looked at the woman he loved, his heart aching.

“Senior Sister, why are you so haggard?”

“Why are you drinking so much?”

Zhao Hongxiu, slightly tipsy, said: “I just went out and had some insights, that’s all!”

Shi Tiezhu didn’t believe it.

If she had insights, she should be in seclusion, not drinking.

He suspected that Senior Sister had been bullied by Chu Qing.

And then abandoned.

“If I just redouble my efforts, it won’t be long before I can get revenge for Senior Sister!”

Thinking this, he said to Zhao Hongxiu:

“Senior Sister, I’ve made great progress these days, I’ve cultivated five Iron Tendons.”

Zhao Hongxiu was silent.

Iron Tendons… they’re useless!

Zhao Hongxiu gently patted his shoulder and said: “Keep it up!”

“You’ll become more and more Powerful!”

Shi Tiezhu grinned happily.

Senior Sister’s hand is so soft… I need to work even harder in the future, strive to Cultivate 365 Iron Tendons, then, I’ll let Chu Qing know how Powerful I am.

I will protect Senior Sister.

Shi Tiezhu, full of fighting spirit, hastily bid farewell to Zhao Hongxiu and continued his Cultivation.

Zhao Hongxiu hesitated, then drank another jar of fine wine in one gulp and returned to Chu Qing’s room.

“Where’s Qing Ge?”

Inside the room, there were only three maids.

“Young Master went out.”

“Are you drinking so much because you want to seduce Young Master?”

“Pah… how vulgar!”

Zhao Hongxiu… The maids said triumphantly: “With us here, you won’t get a chance to take advantage of Young Master!”

“Young Master is ours!”

Zhao Hongxiu gritted her silver teeth and sneered:

“If Qing Ge really did take advantage of you, could you handle it?”

The maids…
