59 Nantong Dojo! Another Orange Experience Ball!
Under the attention of thousands of people, Bai Yusheng had already cut Qin Huai into pieces countless times in his heart.
He hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and took out a bright jade pendant that was as blue as a crystal from his waist. He placed it in front of Qin Huai.
“This is a gift from the infatuated abbot of the Dongshan temple in Jiang county. It’s a hundred-year-old ice heart jade that can be immersed in Buddha’s music for ten years. It’s at least 30%, and if you meet the right person, it’s not a problem to double.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the young people on the second floor couldn’t help but look over at Bai Yusheng. This thing was indeed qualified.
“Just barely.” Qin Huai was expressionless as he accepted the jade. With his cultivation talent, he didn’t need this item.
As soon as the blue jade touched his hand, he felt a cool and refreshing feeling. It was as if his entire person had become ethereal.
Was Buddhism in this world that powerful? A piece of jade could release a strange power?
Qin Huai was a little bewildered. He couldn’t quite understand the level of martial arts in this world.
A piece of hundred-year ice heart jade had completely shut everyone up. Seeing this, Bai Yusheng couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. He quickly walked back to his seat, his killing intent toward Qin Huai growing stronger.
‘This boy is very similar to the Sun Yuanshan my father described. He’s cunning, evil, and talented. I can’t let him become the second Sun Yuanshan.’ Bai Yusheng clenched the cup tightly, and with a bang, his five fingers caused the cup in his hand to crack.
After the small interlude ended, the topic of conversation was once again directed to the city lord’s mansion.
“Speaking of which, what do you all think about the city lord’s mansion allowing all of Pingnan martial arts centers to cultivate the four-directional tiger-wolf technique?” Cai Jiulou’s cheeks were flushed red, and his entire body swayed.
Not only was he really drunk, but he was also pretending to be crazy.
“Destroying one’s martial arts future is like killing one’s parents. Naturally, I won’t agree to it…”
“As long as the eight martial arts centers are united, what’s there to fear about the city lord’s mansion?”
The people from the eight major martial arts centers all said a sentence, indicating their stance.
“Yesterday, there was a Nantong Dojo in the city. They seemed to have already announced they would advance and retreat together with Pingnan martial arts centers and would never cultivate the four-directional tiger-wolf technique,” Bai Yusheng said.
“I remember that this Nantong Dojo has a close relationship with Brother Bai’s family, right?” Cai Jiulou was fearless after drinking.
Bai Yusheng smiled, not saying anything.
“The restaurant seems to be shaking?” someone suddenly said.
“It’s so lively outside.” A man walked to the window with a glass of wine and looked out. Suddenly, his expression changed.
Dong, Dong, Dong…
The sound of heavy footsteps came closer and closer, each stronger than the last, causing the entire second floor to tremble.
Everyone immediately fell silent and walked to the window in unison to look outside.
Qin Huai also leaned over, and a green light flashed in his eyes.
At the end of the street, dust was flying. In the billowing dust, the black-armored soldiers galloped forward like a tide.
The sound of hooves was like a drum, and the dust was thick. The horses and soldiers wore black armor and held long spears.
It’s the armored army!
This name instantly appeared in Qin Huai’s mind.
The leader held a long sheepskin scroll in his hand and shouted loudly. “The Nantong Dojo concealed evil and colluded with them. It’s a heinous crime, so the city lord’s mansion has ordered to kill without mercy! All unauthorized personnel, quickly retreat!”
In the Drunken Immortal restaurant, the young talents were sobering up one by one. The group of thirty to forty people did not go downstairs. Instead, they climbed up to the top of the restaurant and followed the armored soldiers on the roof.
“This Nantong Dojo is considered a rather strong martial arts center in Pingnan City. The master is an old senior who has entered the fourth refinement realm ten years ago. They also have twenty martial artists.” Qi Yangbing traveled with Qin Huai and introduced him to the strength of the Nantong Dojo.
“There are at least five hundred of these black armored cavalry.” Qin Huai did some rough mental calculations.
Nantong Dojo was located on the east side of the city. However, the armored army entered from the west gate and crossed the entire city.
Although he had expected that the city lord’s mansion would kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
When Qin Huai and the others arrived, the black armored army had already surrounded the huge Nantong Dojo. The master of the Nantong Dojo and his disciples were all within the courtyard wall.
The armored army had come too suddenly, catching them off guard.
“Push!” The leader of the group slowly walked out.
Dozens of strong men walked out from the back with iron hammers in their hands. In a short while, the courtyard walls were all smashed down.
With a cloud of dust and smoke, the martial artists of the Nantong Dojo could not avoid it.
“Don’t you go too far!” a bald-headed man from the Nantng Dojo roared. “I raised that wolf demon in captivity only to cut off its flesh and take its blood. I have no other thoughts! You’re obviously looking for an excuse to kill us!”
As he spoke, a few disciples dragged out the bloody human-shaped wolf demon’s corpse. Blood was still flowing, and his body was full of potholes. It was clear that what he said was true.
“Get into formation! Kill them!” The leader of the army waved his spear.
The hundreds of black-armored cavalrymen behind him immediately reined in their horses.
With a buzz, Qin Huai saw that the bodies of these armored horsemen seemed to have grown stronger. He sniffed the air carefully, and they seemed to be emitting some kind of smell.
This must be the four-directional tiger-wolf array.
Boom…
The next moment, hundreds of cavalrymen raised their spears and charged forward. Even a martial artist would not be able to withstand the charge of hundreds of cavalry.
With one stab, only the master of Nantong Dojo and two other people were left out of the hundred or so apprentices.
“You guys are going too far!” The dojo master’s eyes were about to pop out. “You want to kill me, a fourth refinement martial artist? Even if I die, I’ll make your heart ache!”
As soon as he finished speaking, eight steeds galloped toward them. The ice-cold long spear was thrust into several death acupuncture points on the body of the master of the Nantong Dojo.
The dojo master roared. His skin was like an iron wall, and the eight spears seemed to be smashing against it without success.
He grabbed the four spears and pulled them into his arms. However, the muscles of the four people had actually grown by another fold. Qin Huai could even see the flesh exposed under the armor.
The stalemate lasted for a moment. The four of them were still caught off their horses. Their heavy fists landed on a few soldiers, shattering their armor and killing them on the spot.
However, four more people followed up and stabbed again! Moreover, the power this time was much stronger than before.
Originally, the spear had no effect on the dojo master, but now, there were a few white marks on his body.
Another four people died, and another one was added. The skin of the dojo master was broken, and his body began to bleed …
Qin Huai could smell the unique smell of blood in the air getting stronger, and there was a hint of wildness in it.
Fourteen people had spears pierced into their flesh…
Seventeen people… and the head of the dojo master was already a bloody mess.
The charge of thirty people stopped. The head of the Nantong dojo master was on the verge of collapsing, and his mind was already muddled.
Qin Huai looked at the cavalrymen with his spirit eyes and saw that the strong smell of blood in the air was being sucked into his successor’s body. It allowed his physical body to grow abnormally, and his strength also gradually increased.
However, as more and more people died, the bloodshot eyes of the soldiers became more and more terrifying. It was obvious that their bodies were under terrifying pressure.
“Is this the four-directional tiger-wolf technique?” Qin Huai mumbled.
If thirty of them could kill a fourth refinement realm martial artist, how many fourth refinement realm martial artists could the 2,000 armored soldiers kill? How many fourth refinements did the eight major martial arts centers have?
A strong sense of danger spread in Qin Huai’s heart. He was only a mere third refinement martial artist now. Perhaps a dozen of them could kill him…
In the face of this power, he had no way to protect himself. To become stronger, he still needed to become even stronger.
“Now I can imagine the pressure of a horse trampling the martial world,” Qin Huai mumbled.
Qi Yangbing, who was beside him, laughed bitterly. “It’s indeed difficult…”
“Brother Bai, what do you think of the Nantong Dojo being destroyed?” Cai Jiulou seemed to still be drunk as he laughed and shouted from afar.
“My Thunderbolt Dojo has nothing to do with Nantong Dojo! Brother Cai, please show some respect!” Bai Yusheng cupped his fists. Unlike in the restaurant, he denied it on the spot. Then, he quickly left.
As for the gathering at the Drunken Immortal restaurant, it also ended hastily.
…
When Qin Huai, Qi Yangbing, and Li Bowu returned to the dojo, Qi Yangbing went to find his master, while Qin Huai and Li Bowu went home.
Qin Huai stood in the courtyard, unable to calm down for a long time. Hence, he wore the hundred-year ice heart jade on his waist and began to cultivate the long breath technique.
The hundred-year ice heart jade seemed to exude some kind of magical power that made Qin Huai instantly calm down, as if his state of mind had also sublimated.
His understanding of the long breath technique seemed to have improved as well. After a round of fighting, Qin Huai’s long clothes were covered in sweat.
Then, he looked at his long breath technique’s experience bar. From level 30, it was now 1037/4000. After a set of cultivation techniques, it turned from one point to two points, doubling.
“It seems I have an affinity with Buddha.” Qin Huai’s face was expressionless. “But with my cultivation talent, I don’t need to rely on external forces.”
He held the jade pendant and thought of the strange secret manuals of the Sacred Heart sect that he had burned. Both of them were treasures that could increase the speed of cultivation.
“Unorthodox methods can’t achieve great things. The right way is to work hard in cultivation,” Qin Huai reflected. “I need to be clear-headed and firm in my heart.”
Bang! Bang!
He suddenly exerted his strength, and the hundred-year ice heart jade shattered.
The next moment, an orange experience ball dropped to the ground.
