25: A warrior who practices martial arts!

Although he held no hope, Lu Xuan still wanted to understand.

"Martial Artists below the Bone Refinement Realm?"

Liang Cheng's brows furrowed tightly, and he raised his hand to rub his chin, deep in thought.

After all, there were quite a number of Martial Artists below the Bone Refinement Realm, so it was normal for it to be difficult to recall them.

"Hmm?"

Clap!

Suddenly, a sound of a hand slapping a table rang out.

Liang Cheng had a strange expression, as if he had thought of something, and looked up at Lu Xuan.

"Xuan Ge, if it's a Martial Artist below the Bone Refinement Realm, then only one person fits the description."

"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be a Martial Artist who Cultivates a Martial Art Body Technique."

"Oh? Tell me quickly!"

Liang Cheng's words made Lu Xuan's eyes light up; he hadn't expected that there really was a Martial Artist who Cultivated a Martial Art Body Technique.

"It's just that this person is a bit special; not only is he insane, but he's also..."

Immediately after, Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then revealed all the information about this person.

A long time passed!

Only then did Lu Xuan clearly understand the situation of the special man Liang Cheng spoke of.

That special man's surname was Zhang, and three years ago, he was wanted by the county yamen for attacking a rich Young Master in the county town on the street.

As for why he suddenly attacked, there was a reason for that.

The man named Zhang had achieved Major Achievement in the Flesh Refinement Realm, and he had a daughter at home.

Originally, he was a Martial Artist in a martial arts school in the county town, specifically responsible for teaching those who came to Cultivate the Dao of Martial Arts.

Until one day, he suddenly disappeared for half a month, not even going to the martial arts school.

When the man named Zhang returned to the county town again.

He found that his daughter had hanged herself, dying tragically at home, and left a suicide note hidden in a secret location only he knew about.

His daughter had been humiliated, and the culprit was still at large, with the county yamen ignoring the matter.

The one who humiliated his daughter was precisely the rich Young Master he attacked, but he did not succeed; that rich Young Master was protected by many guards.

And after his failure, he was immediately wanted by Lord County Magistrate of the county yamen, regardless of life or death!

Not a single chance was left for him, and the Chief Constable Chen Shi of the county yamen was even dispatched to apprehend him.

Lu Xuan murmured softly, "Escaping from a Martial Artist at the Perfection of the Bone Refinement Realm?"

The man named Zhang was suspected of knowing a Martial Art Body Technique, which allowed him to escape from the Chief Constable Chen Shi of the county yamen with the strength of the Flesh Refinement Realm.

As for whether the Chief Constable Chen Shi of the county yamen showed mercy and intentionally let him go.

Or if he escaped by his true ability, Lu Xuan did not know.

However, since there was news of a Martial Art Body Technique, Lu Xuan would not miss it and chose to try his luck.

Ever since Liang Cheng finished telling the story of this man, his face was a bit embarrassed.

Because any discerning person could see how great that man's grievance was.

Their county yamen not only ignored it but also turned the tables and issued a warrant for his arrest.

However, in the face of such matters, Liang Cheng, a mere Constable, had no right to decide.

That case was handled by Lord County Magistrate, as the Lord County Governor had not yet taken office at that time.

So, the affairs of the county town were temporarily managed by Lord County Magistrate.

And coincidentally, that rich Young Master had a great relationship with Lord County Magistrate, so the man could only be considered unlucky.

"Where is that person now?"

"Not far outside the city, there's an abandoned temple there; he should be hiding inside."

Liang Cheng also accidentally discovered the man's existence, but he didn't meddle and chose to pretend he knew nothing.

What did the dirty deeds of those county magistrates have to do with him? He might as well go to Qingxiang Brothel and spend some time with the Fairy there.

...

More than ten li outside the city, the surroundings were desolate, with only a dilapidated temple and some abandoned and collapsed earth houses.

Creak!

At this moment, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken by the sound of footsteps on dry wooden boards.

Two figures slowly walked towards the dilapidated temple, then entered without hesitation.

This temple, in fact, could no longer even be considered a dilapidated temple.

The surrounding walls had all collapsed, and only a few wooden boards remained above the temple, gently swaying in the breeze, seemingly about to fall at any moment.

"Where is he?"

"Last time, I clearly saw that guy here, why is he gone?"

Without even going inside, the dilapidated temple's leaky walls allowed a clear view of the interior.

The inside of the dilapidated temple was covered with various debris: some kind of animal fur, dried bones on the ground, charred wood...

There was all sorts of junk, but no one was seen inside the dilapidated temple.

The two people who appeared outside the dilapidated temple were Lu Xuan and Liang Cheng, who had come from the county town.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed, scanning the surroundings, but found no one.

"Xuan Ge, did this person run away? I..."

Before Liang Cheng could finish speaking, a figure in the distance, like a ghost, quickly ran over.

Only when he got closer did Lu Xuan clearly see the person's appearance.

The person looked like a wild man, somewhat thin, dressed in incomplete, dirty rags.

The dirty rags had yellowish-brown mud caked on them, forming dried clumps.

He held a wooden stick made from a tree branch, on which hung several mice, still twitching.

However, when the man saw Lu Xuan and them, he seemed a bit stunned.

Then he walked into the dilapidated temple on his own, placing the prey in his hand on the ground.

He walked to a corner and took out a rusty kitchen knife, seemingly wanting to slaughter the prey on the spot.

However, just before he acted, two figures walked in front of him.

"Senior Zhang, I have something to discuss."

A calm voice rang out; it was Lu Xuan who spoke.

The man looked up at the two of them, then woodenly lowered his head again, wanting to go about his business.

"Hey, you, didn't you hear my Xuan Ge asking you a question?"

Liang Cheng felt a bit displeased when he saw the other party ignoring them.

"Hmph, damn imperial dog, get lost quickly!"

"Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

The seemingly wooden man, upon hearing Liang Cheng's words, instantly looked up.

His eyes, surrounded by dirt and grime, were bloodshot, looking terrifyingly murderous.

"You!"

Upon hearing the other party call him an imperial dog, Liang Cheng became enraged and was about to retort when Lu Xuan interrupted him.

"Senior Zhang, I'm here to ask for a favor. I heard that Senior once Cultivated a Martial Art Body Technique."

"I'm very interested in Martial Art Body Techniques. I wonder if Senior Zhang could..."

Just as Lu Xuan was about to say that he was willing to buy it at a high price.

Swish!

A huge whooshing sound rang out as the man quickly swung the kitchen knife in his hand towards Lu Xuan.

However, the next moment, the man whose face was filled with ferocity froze, looking at Lu Xuan in shock.

Lu Xuan had raised his right hand, and two fingers on his palm were lightly gripping the kitchen knife.

The kitchen knife, which carried a terrifying momentum, seemed to have encountered some powerful force; the blade instantly shattered, falling to the ground in pieces.
