12: I'm the only one who's not, I just poured lead into it
in Jiang Yi's hand!
It was like a human-shaped, long-barreled weapon!
When wielded, it generated a powerful wind!
The charging gang members were instantly scattered and screaming in agony, smashed to pieces.
As for the small leader, who was used as a weapon, he was even worse off!
His bones were shattered, his flesh torn, and he was reduced to a soft, rotten pulp!
He was taking in more air than he was exhaling!
He was probably not going to live!
"Bang!"
Jiang Yi casually tossed him to the ground!
[Killed an enemy proficient in boxing and kicking, plundered 7 years of his Lifespan.]
The area around him was completely cleared!
No one who had charged up earlier was still standing, and no one could get back up.
All that met his eyes were people groaning in pain, seriously injured, and lying motionless on the ground.
On the other side!
Zhang Hu was practically overwhelming Liu Zhanpeng, forcing him to constantly dodge, his body swaying unsteadily.
Thump!!!
Liu Zhanpeng took a blow head-on!
He staggered backward, his Qi and blood surging, his internal organs shaking, and a sweet, metallic taste of blood welled up in his throat and spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't care at all, staring intently at Zhang Hu, his expression full of shock!
"You actually had a Breakthrough, entering the first minor Realm of martial arts!"
"Hahaha, you guessed right!
I have already entered the Skin Grinding Realm and become a true martial artist.
On the other hand, you, after so many days, haven't made any progress at all.
You weren't my opponent before, and now, you're even less so!
Why don't you surrender quickly!
As long as you kneel before me and kowtow three times, perhaps if I'm happy, I might consider—
sparing you all, haha!"
"You wish!"
Liu Zhanpeng wiped the blood from his mouth, his face flushed, and he gritted his teeth, continuing to dodge... no, resist.
As long as he could stop Zhang Hu, the Skin Grinding Realm martial artist, the others were nothing to fear.
The Disciples of Yu Hang would naturally come to stop them.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Zhang Hu sneered, his Physical Body like a fierce beast, exuding a brutal aura with every Move.
"Do you think I don't know what you're planning?"
"Lads, charge with me!"
"Tear down his bluestone... Hmm?"
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the gang members lying on the ground, wailing, and he was momentarily stunned.
Lads, why are you all lying down?!!
What's going on?
Who did it?
Is it that young man standing in the middle, bathed in fragmented gold under the great sun?
Zhang Hu was momentarily distracted!
Liu Zhanpeng saw a flaw in that moment and, without hesitation, unleashed his full half-step Skin Grinding Realm strength.
He took a wide step and powerfully struck out with his hand!
With one blow, he forced him back!
"Damn it, you're looking for death!"
"Aow roarr!"
Zhang Hu roared in fury, a sound like a wolf but not quite a wolf!
His entire body subtly swelled a few times.
His back arched, and he raised his head!
His visible eyes were dark and gloomy, forming an inverted triangle, and his pupils turned brownish-yellow!
His pupils were almost vertical!
Like a pair of sinister, bloodthirsty wolf eyes, he pounced, swift as a wolf!
Liu Zhanpeng was startled and quickly raised his arms, letting out a low shout, attempting to parry!
"Crack!"
The sharp pain from his arms made Liu Zhanpeng's face pale, and he gasped for breath.
His body swayed, and with a "thud," he fell to the ground, his hands dangling limply.
He couldn't exert any force at all!
The ulnae of both arms were likely fractured!
"I originally wanted to play with you, but since you're so unappreciative, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhang Hu walked forward with a sinister smile, raising his foot and stomping down hard on one of Liu Zhanpeng's legs.
A ruthless look appeared on his face!
He clearly intended to cripple his limbs, turning him into a useless person.
Even if he could recover!
It would be impossible without several months or half a year of recuperation.
"No!!!"
Just as that foot was about to land, a whip-like afterimage suddenly swept in from the side.
The two collided!
It forcibly twisted Zhang Hu's descending foot, deflecting it away.
"Bang!"
The bluestone slabs on the ground cracked extensively!
"It's you!"
"You did all that?"
Zhang Hu stabilized himself, his eyes dark and shifting, filled with a cruel, bloodthirsty glint.
"Thank you..."
"Be careful, he has already crossed the threshold of martial arts and become a true martial artist!"
Liu Zhanpeng got up, gritted his teeth, and warned.
"I think we need to work together to contend..."
Jiang Yi interrupted, "Me too."
Liu Zhanpeng: "..."
Alright, alright!
So I'm the only one who isn't, right?
I've made a fool of myself!
"Hmph, martial artists, martial artists also have strengths and weaknesses.
In the same Realm, I, Zhang Hu, am naturally invincible!"
"You've injured so many of my men; I'm going to break your limbs and cripple your cultivation level."
Zhang Hu arched his back, bent his knees, and held his hands like claws, one in front and one behind, an aura of savagery swirling around him.
He seemed to have transformed into a wild wolf roaming the mountains, pouncing on its prey.
This was Jiang Yi's first time facing someone of the same Realm, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless in the slightest!
As his fists and palms moved, his skin vibrated!
The sharp Concept of an eagle's claw and the heavy Concept of a bedrock gradually manifested on his body.
The two were originally opposite, but at this moment, they vaguely showed a tendency to merge!
Boom!!!
Fists and claws clashed, Physical Bodies fought, and invisible air exploded under the compression.
Both retreated several steps!
They landed on the ground, cracking and shattering the bluestone slabs!
"Is that all?"
Jiang Yi looked at Zhang Hu, who had retreated more steps than himself, and immediately made a judgment in his heart.
He was stronger!
Moreover, he would only get stronger.
"Consume 10 years of Lifespan, simulate Cultivation Technique—'Cauldron Origin Skill'."
[Year 1, you began to comprehend the 'Cauldron Origin Skill', analyzing its Mind-Cultivation Technique and Moves.]
[Year 3, through continuous attempts, you felt you could officially Cultivate.]
[Year 7, your 'Cauldron Origin Skill' achieved mastery, reaching the Entry-Level.]
[In the same year, your Skin Grinding Realm advanced further.]
[Year 8, you discovered that your physical strength began to increase.]
[Year 10, you did not stop, continuing to Cultivate.]
[At this time, with every Move, you could casually exert 500 jin of force.]
[If you struck with full force, it could reach 1,000 jin!]
Jiang Yi felt his entire skin swell and expand, covering his whole body, thickening by several times!
It seemed to have doubled!
Compared to the two unranked Cultivation Techniques he practiced, the effect was even more astonishing.
At the same time!
The Qi and blood within his body surged, and his power level began to rapidly increase!
He leaped up, spanning several zhang, his hands spread wide like an eagle spreading its wings.
It was his turn to attack!
His eagle claws were like hooks, revealing sharp edges, yet also mixed with an extremely heavy aura, like—
a falling bedrock covered in sharp thorns!
"Aow roarr!"
Zhang Hu seemed to have been provoked into ferocity, forming his hands into claws and charging forward as well.
But he underestimated!
Between claws and claws, there was indeed a difference!
When his wolf claws met Jiang Yi's eagle claws, his expression instantly changed.
He felt as if he had grabbed a hard boulder!
On the other hand, when the opponent's claws landed!
The sharp edges nearly tore his skin apart.
Within them!
There was also a powerful force that penetrated directly to his tendons and bones.
It made his arms ache and go numb!
What kind of claw Cultivation Technique was this, was it filled with lead!
