CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 97: JIANG SHI TAKES ACTION!

Inside Jiang Shi’s body, a heavy rumbling sound began to emerge, like waves rushing, the sound was thunderous, and streams of air burst out from all his pores.

Finally, his eyes opened once again, radiating brightness, and the commotion on him began to slowly fade away.

"Martial Saint First Tier."

Jiang Shi let out a long breath, looking at the panel in front of him.

Martial Saint, this realm is really hard to cultivate.

This is with the addition of the [Enlightenment] talent.

If it weren’t for the [Enlightenment] talent, with his original talent, even after being refined, it would take years to reach.

Feeling the powerful vigor and brute force in his body, he pondered again in his heart.

"If I fuse this vigor and brute force, I wonder if I can generate a completely new type of power?"

Thinking of this, he immediately closed his eyes and once again utilized the [Enlightenment] talent, his entire body starting to heat up rapidly, white smoke emerging from his pores.

He sat like this for the whole night.

He was like a rapidly operating machine.

After a long time.

Jiang Shi stopped again, opened his eyes, revealing exhaustion, panting heavily.

"Difficult, too difficult, the fusion of vigor and brute force is indeed not easy, at least it cannot be achieved in a day or two, it must be slowly explored."

However, he could feel that vigor and brute force can be fused, seemingly able to become an extremely powerful force, but this force certainly requires slow mastery, hard to achieve rapidly.

"It’s time to return!"

Jiang Shi stood up, grabbed some dry provisions, and ate them heartily, then picked up the Wolf Fang Club, left the cave, mounted his horse, and quickly left.

Originally, he could have just walked away, but who made him a man of his word.

···

Half a day later.

Jiang Shi returned to the stronghold again, looking around.

The vast stronghold seemed horrific, the green hills still remained, but many buildings had been flipped upside down, with doors shattered everywhere.

The inside of the stronghold was a horrific sight.

Furthermore, Jiang Shi noticed seven or eight corpses, his expression slightly tensed, recognizing them.

These were all small bandits from Black Mountain Stronghold.

Could it be that they left earlier and then sneaked back later?

Otherwise, how could they die here?

"Hey, that man, who are you? How dare you intrude here?"

Suddenly, several Jianghu people leapt up, landing on a building, shouted, pointing at Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi turned his horse around, looked at them, and said, "Who are you? Why do you dare to intrude here too?"

"We are retainers of the Hengzhou Wang Family. This stronghold offended the Hengzhou Wang Family, and is now sealed off. No one is allowed to approach!"

One of the Jianghu people shouted.

"Is that so? Actually, I belong to this stronghold, came specially to have a look."

Jiang Shi spoke.

Their faces changed.

"You court death!"

"Kid, you don’t want your life?"

···

"What? You’re not going to make a move? If you don’t, I will."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Notify the Elder quickly!"

One of them spoke swiftly, immediately sensing something amiss with Jiang Shi.

Without thinking, they turned and left, heading toward the interior of the stronghold.

Jiang Shi chuckled lightly, plucked a few small stones from the wall, spurred his horse toward the backyard.

The feeling of being chased everywhere before was really unpleasant.

But fortunately!

He’s not afraid now.

After a continuous month, not only did he reach Martial Saint First Tier, but even the [Primordial Divine Palm] reached the Second Realm, just a step away from perfection.

His power now is absolutely incomparable to a month ago.

Moreover, Dragon Elephant Talent increases his strength by 100 pounds every day.

Over a month, that is a free gain of 3000 pounds.

Passing through the front row of buildings, Jiang Shi quickly arrived outside Juyi Hall.

Outside the hall, there were also many Jianghu people, clearly recruited by the [Hengzhou Wang Family], each extraordinarily skilled.

Inside the hall, an elder hurried over, his face icy, wearing a black robe, his body thin, possessing Martial Saint level cultivation.

"Are you the remnant of Black Cloud Stronghold?"

The elder shouted sternly, "Where is my Wang Family’s Elder Wang Long?"

"You mean the old man a month ago, that old man wanted to kill me, but I killed him."

Jiang Shi sat on his warhorse, lightly holding a small stone, said, "The Hengzhou Wang Family just sent you guys over? Where is your Blood Exchange Realm expert?"

The elder’s pupils shrank, hearing Wang Long was killed, instantly showing a fierce expression, "Beast, court death, capture him!"

The many Jianghu people around couldn’t help but look at each other, instinctively retreating a step.

This young man could even kill your Elder Wang Long, and you want us to capture him?

You’re really overestimating us?

If we had that ability, would we need to rely on your Wang Family?

Taking the Wang Family’s three thousand dollars salary, you’re using us despite knowing we’ll die···

Seeing many Jianghu people unmoved, the elder was instantly furious.

This group of wallflowers, swaying with the wind!

"Kid, go die!"

The elder stomped his foot, bursting with energy, instantly rushing over, thousands of pores spouting steam, his whole body suddenly doubling in width, roaring like thunder.

However!

Jiang Shi flicked the small stone lightly, just casually tossing it.

Whoosh!

The sound was piercing, like a mortar shell fired through the air, heading straight for the elder.

The elder’s pupils shrank, feeling an unusually terrifying sense of danger approaching, quickly beyond belief, making all his hairs stand on end, as if facing some extremely terrifying beast, rapidly bending his arms to block.

Crack!

Ah!

A scream rang out, blood splattering.

The two arms were smashed to pulp under the powerful force of the small stone, blood mist and white bone flew everywhere, the elder’s whole body flew back on the spot, with a bang, heavily crashing into the distance. A terrifying blood hole appeared in his chest, dying tragically.

"Oops, used too much force."

Jiang Shi muttered.

Originally intended to leave him alive, didn’t expect one strike to kill him.
