CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: PULVERIZING STRIKE!

Fengzhou Territory.

Jiang Shi galloped all the way and finally entered here.

However, the scenery he saw was almost indistinguishable from Desolate State, still everywhere were refugees, beggars, in rags, with sallow faces, walking in groups along the road.

Some refugees were so starved that they went mad, seeing passing caravans, they pounced to rob at the first chance, but were brutally beaten by accompanying martial artists, limbs flying, without leaving a complete corpse.

The remaining refugees, upon seeing their companions die miserably, didn’t run as their first reaction but instead began to snatch the bodies of their companions, like wild dogs pouncing on food.

Jiang Shi saw the ultimate manifestation of human starvation.

When people are extremely hungry, they are no longer human.

But beasts!

"It seems the whole world is like this, not only is Desolate State rotten, other places are no better, does the Court even have a reason to exist?"

Jiang Shi murmured to himself.

But he soon stopped worrying and prepared to find a place to buy herbs first.

His Red Sun Body Refining Technique required medicinal baths to continue cultivation.

Without medicinal baths, he simply couldn’t train.

In other words, he’s been lingering in the First Realm during this time, never entering the Second Realm.

Secondly, he also opened that Primordial Divine Palm a few days ago, and it similarly required secret medicine to work.

Moreover, according to records, this secret manual seemed quite powerful, referred to as a super grade martial art.

The book documented the strength and rarity of super grade martial arts.

In short, it’s a martial art that can break limits, allowing the human body to explosively double its own power.

Those at the Third Level of Entering Strength, if trained, can exert the power of the Sixth Level of Entering Strength.

Those at the Sixth Level of Entering Strength, if trained, can exert the power of the Ninth Level of Entering Strength.

And so forth, it couldn’t be measured by common sense.

However, this martial art requires too much from the body.

Out of ten people who train, nearly nine will end up dying miserably.

"This secret manual is interesting, but for now, it doesn’t have much use for me. I’m at the Third Level of Entering Strength right now. Even if I train it, it would only be comparable to the Sixth Level of Entering Strength, but my physical brute force has long been comparable to the Eleventh Level of Entering Strength."

Jiang Shi thought to himself.

He urged his horse forward, heading towards a roadside tavern ahead.

Carefully tying up his warhorse and carrying his Wolf Fang Club, he walked into the tavern.

However, just as he entered the tavern, his brow furrowed, and he looked up.

The spacious tavern was filled with Jianghu people, armed with swords and knives, looking unfriendly, cold as frost, with their gazes subtly focused on the table at the center.

At that table sat a man around thirty, dressed as a commoner, with a gloomy expression, motionless.

Beside him stood two burly men, like left and right guardians, each burly, with a rugged face, looking heavily towards those Jianghu people at the tables on both sides.

When Jiang Shi walked in, those two burly men’s faces turned serious and they directly swept their gaze towards Jiang Shi, with a faint killing intent revealed in their eyes, as if Jiang Shi was also regarded as one of them.

Jiang Shi felt inexplicably confused.

Damn it.

Is a fight about to break out?

He looked towards the tavern counter.

At the counter area was a woman in her thirties, wearing a pink long dress, with a playful expression, quietly playing with a dagger in her hand, her peach blossom eyes occasionally glancing at Jiang Shi, showing a faint smile.

Jiang Shi frowned again.

Forget it.

Better to avoid trouble.

Find another place to eat.

He turned to leave, heading outside.

"Neigh!"

At that moment, a tragic neigh of a warhorse suddenly sounded.

Jiang Shi’s face changed slightly, he quickly rushed out.

Only to see his freshly tied-up warhorse foaming at the mouth, collapsing on the ground, its body twitching violently, clearly more dead than alive, its black eyes slightly moist, looking at Jiang Shi with reluctance, occasionally letting out a soft neigh.

As if exceptionally unwilling to part with Jiang Shi, its master.

Near the warhorse was a short and thin man in a green robe, with a mocking expression, looking at Jiang Shi, gently removing his hand from the horse’s nose, and laughingly said, "Little brother, now that you’re here, don’t think about leaving."

"You motherfucker, you dared to poison my horse!"

Jiang Shi instantly got furious, roaring loudly, directly charging forward,

like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, with an indescribably terrifying aura.

This horse had accompanied him for so long, taking him so far, just to be tied here and poisoned to death?

The short and thin man, seeing Jiang Shi pounce, sneered and quickly leapt away, relying on superior Lightweight Skill to swiftly dodge.

The other Jianghu people inside the tavern heard the commotion, all sneered.

Being targeted by Poisonous Asura, this kid is doomed.

"Fourth Young Master Lu, do you want to come with us quietly, or do we have to use force to drag you away? If it comes to the latter, you might be quite embarrassed!"

A burly man sneered, standing up, overlooking the first floor area’s man from the second-floor tavern.

With his movement, the other Jianghu people also stood up one after another, simultaneously drawing various weapons like swords and knives, collectively looking towards the man and his two burly companions.

The man’s expression remained gloomy as ever, speaking, "I never imagined that the Green Forest Army would think of dealing with my father by dealing with me. But do you think capturing me will stop my father?"

"Whether it can or cannot, we have to try anyway. I don’t believe that delivering your arms and ears to your father wouldn’t provoke him."

The burly man replied coldly.

"Do you think I’ll give you the chance to blackmail my father?"

The young man’s eyes glimmered coldly.

"Opportunities aren’t up to you, even if you commit suicide, I’ll still dismember you and send you to your father!"

The burly man grinned cruelly.

"Audacious!"

The two burly men beside the young man shouted angrily.

One of them shouted, "Ouyang Tian, if you dare harm the Fourth Young Master, the Grand Marshal won’t let you go. He’ll raze the Green Forest Army headquarters to the ground to execute you piece by piece!"

"Is that so?"

The burly man suddenly laughed loudly and said, "I’m afraid Lu Zhongshan won’t live much longer either!"

He looked at the young man again, speaking coldly, "Fourth Young Master Lu, I’ve said all the good words I could. If you still don’t surrender, don’t blame us. Go!"

The Jianghu people at both sides remained silent and directly grabbed various weapons like swords and knives, rushing towards the young man and his two burly companions in the center.

At that moment!

Ah!

Suddenly, an exceptionally piercing scream sounded from outside the door, an ear-piercing cry, coming in quick succession, directly changing the complexion of everyone.

One of the men snorted coldly, directly leaping out of the window to check.

But when he looked, his expression instantly changed again.

Outside the door, Jiang Shi was covered in blood, firmly pressing down Poisonous Asura on the ground, stretching out his hands, directly tearing off Poisonous Asura’s limbs like tearing cotton, effortlessly.

Poisonous Asura was continually screaming, exhausted from screaming, his whole body covered in blood, his voice almost hoarse.

But upon careful look, he already had seven or eight blood holes on his body, clearly caused by stones.

Poisonous Asura first was severely injured by stones, then was torn up alive by this kid?

"Kid, you..."

The Jianghu man was shocked, filled with disbelief.

"Hmm? One of them, damn it, dared to kill my horse, you also die!"

Jiang Shi released the miserably torn Poisonous Asura, picked up the Wolf Fang Club, and directly charged towards the Jianghu man, smashing down with one strike.

The man’s face was filled with terror. Hearing the wind alone, he could feel the terrifying power behind the strike, desperately swinging his twin knives to block it.

Clang!

Crack!

In a single exchange, both knives shattered, his body was blown away like a cannonball, crashing through the wall, plunging inside the tavern, his chest collapsed, his eyes wide open, dying tragically.

Inside the tavern, everyone ready to act changed their expressions, quickly halting again.

"Motherfucker!"

Jiang Shi cursed, carrying the Wolf Fang Club, walking over through the hole just smashed in the wall.
