However, compared to last night when he was fleeing for his life, he was like a completely different person!
After practicing the last ten movements of the Indestructible Golden Body, Xiao Han's body was as thick as a thigh, constantly flushing his body like the sun and the moon.
This made Xiao Han's life force extremely vigorous!
He was like a humanoid primordial beast!
Moreover, after experiencing a few life and death situations, Xiao Han's spirit and aura had been tempered, becoming sharper by the day. Every word and action was filled with the confidence of an emperor!
It was no exaggeration to say that Xiao Han had already developed a little bit of momentum and style.
His state of mind had changed!
What he lacked now was cultivation and strength.
Therefore, Xiao Han was eager to refine the Nine-Tailed Sunflower in his stomach to reach the peak of the Viscera Refinement Realm and increase his strength.
"Hehe ~ The Nine-Tailed Sunflower's medicinal power is so strong that I can't refine it in a short period of time … Then I will find another way and let those martial artists help me refine the medicinal power!
Hahahaha! "Xiao Han ran all the way with a smile on his face.
"They are chasing after me, but they don't know that they are helping me achieve my goal!
Hahahaha! "
Xiao Han understood that he was not the prey.
Just as Xiao Han flashed past a small hill, a figure flashed in front of him. Two martial artists had already discovered him.
"Kid, stop!"
These two martial artists seemed to be twins. They both had sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. Judging from their aura, they should be ordinary Marrow Refinement Realm cultivators. Their talent and strength were not even as good as Li Yifeng who was killed by Xiao Han.
The two of them each held an iron rod.
They were aggressive.
"Hahaha, big brother … Luck!
It's really the luck of us two brothers! "One of the Jianghu men grinned and laughed.
He approached Xiao Han step by step like a poisonous snake.
He waved the iron rod in his hand like a flower, chopping, lifting, cutting, rolling, and stabbing. It was quite methodical.
The heavy iron rod was like a lamp in his hand.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. Kill him first and don't let others find out!
This fat sheep, the two of us brothers will quietly swallow it! "
The other martial artist took a step forward and smashed his rod. The air exploded with a dull roar, like the roar of a mountain flood.
"Demon Subduing Rod Technique!"
Xiao Han was not afraid at all. Instead, he suddenly turned around, arched his back, and took the blow head on!
Bang!
The iron rod smashed into Xiao Han's back, producing a sound similar to that of a meteorite crashing into him.
"My strength is too little … I don't feel good …" Xiao Han lightly leapt forward and immediately turned around, his eyebrows tightly knitted together.
"You're too weak.
This rod strike is only slightly more than 20 cauldrons, not even 30 cauldrons … It seems like I have overestimated the strength of the Jianghu.
In other words, the cultivators of the Jianghu were a mixture of good and bad people. In terms of strength evaluation, it was not as clear as the disciples of the sects.
You are both at Tempering Marrow, but your combat strength is far inferior to Li Yifeng's. "
"What?
Iron Palm Li Yifeng? "
A Jianghu man blurted out. The Jianghu man who had smashed Xiao Han with his staff just now looked at Xiao Han, who was chatting casually.
"You … you … you're alright?"
"You … what did you do to Li Yifeng … what did you do to him?"
"Kill him," Xiao Han said calmly.
The next moment …
"Let me send you guys on your way as well!" Xiao Han's aura suddenly burst out. The Emperor's aura swept across the sky, enveloping the surroundings!
A Sovereign's Descent was unleashed!
This Sovereign's Descent was purely an oppressive move. It doubled Xiao Han's physical strength and destroyed half of his opponent's defense. With this, he would be able to kill his opponent in an instant!
"Bang!"
Under the influence of the Emperor's aura, the Jianghu man who had smashed Xiao Han with his staff just now had the seed of submission planted in his mind. It was as if he had even forgotten to resist …
After Xiao Han achieved Minor Success in Organs Refinement, he punched out 17 cauldrons. The Sovereign's Descent increased the strength of his fist to 34 cauldrons. It was like a hot knife through butter. In an instant, the Jianghu man's sternum was smashed into pieces. His chest caved in and he flew out like a gunny sack. He vomited three liters of blood and died on the spot!
The other Jianghu man was scared out of his wits. His legs were numb and powerless. The iron rod in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Don't kill me … don't … don't kill me …"
"Sorry, you guys wanted to kill me first." Xiao Han's expression did not change. He closed in and punched the Jianghu man to death.
After killing the two Jianghu men, Xiao Han rummaged through their corpses.
Other than a few dozen True Martial Coins, Xiao Han found almost nothing!
"Jianghu people are really poor and dejected …" Xiao Han was speechless for a while. He put the dozens of True Martial coins he had plundered into his storage ring, and then continued to run in the deep mountains and old forests to look for it.
… …
Dusk …
Xiao Han crouched in front of a mountain stream. He used both hands to wash his face and drank the sweet mountain spring water to his heart's content.
At this moment, Xiao Han's clothes were torn and tattered. Under the rays of the setting sun, one could vaguely see Xiao Han's smooth, cheetah-like muscles and his smooth, sparkling skin.
"Awesome!"
Xiao Han drank his fill of water and lay down on the side of the mountain stream. He let the afterglow of the setting sun shine on his body.
Xiao Han breathed out a mouthful of turbid air. He closed his eyes and pondered, summarizing today's gains and losses.
In the past few hours, Xiao Han had been running around in the Crouching Bull Mountain. He had encountered a total of 27 Jianghu men.
Among them, 5 were in the Bone Refining Realm, 9 were in the Viscera Refining Realm, and 13 were in the Marrow Refining Realm.
Among the 13 Marrow Refining Realm Jianghu men, only three people had strength greater than Li Yifeng.
After a series of 'fierce battles', Xiao Han killed all of these Jianghu men who wanted to cut his stomach open.
However, when he deliberately endured the beating of these Jianghu men, the medicinal power of the Nine-Tailed Sunflower in Xiao Han's body was not refined much.
So far, only three to four percent of the medicinal power in his body had been refined.
The results were minimal.
The strength of these Jianghu loose cultivators was really too small …
Moreover, Xiao Han did not find any treasures from the corpses of the Jianghu men he killed. It was nothing more than some scattered True Martial Coins.
As for the gold and silver in the secular world, Xiao Han did not even look at them and directly ignored them.
There was another problem. When Xiao Han was fighting with these Jianghu men, he could only use the Sovereign's Descent over and over again.
Otherwise, he would release the Demon God's Palm and directly crush them.
Xiao Han found that his fighting style was too simple.
"The Demon God's Palm must not be seen in the light. It can only be used behind people's backs. It is not elegant.
Those who have seen it must be killed.
Then, the only martial skill that I can use openly is the Emperor's Divine Fist's Sovereign's Descent. "Xiao Han frowned and pondered.
"As for the Sovereign's Descent, it is my trump card. If I use it too often, it will inevitably be seen through by others. Even if they don't see through the flaws, they will study it over and over again and be prepared in advance …"
Xiao Han knew that many of the outer sect disciples of Cloud Rain Sect had their own secret skills and ultimate moves.
They would not use their trump cards until the very last moment.
On one hand, it was to keep a trump card. On the other hand, it was a form of deterrence that would make the enemy wary and not know when they would use their trump cards.
However, Xiao Han could only use the Sovereign's Descent over and over again without any trump cards!
"No, I have to cultivate another martial skill. As for the Emperor's Divine Fist, as a trump card, it can be used at the crucial moment to achieve miraculous results.
Killing the enemy and dying. "Xiao Han rubbed his nose.
"I can also cultivate the second style of the Emperor's Divine Fist, 'Emperor's Robe'. However, it is best to keep it as my trump card and secret technique.
The most important thing now is to find another martial skill to cultivate.
I will be able to obtain a supreme-grade elixir and a secret manual when I return to the sect. Good, very good. Just what I want … "
Then, at this moment, Xiao Han's ears twitched. He suddenly felt a dangerous aura approaching him!
"Here it comes again … I wonder what kind of trash it is this time." Xiao Han leaped up with a flip.
Gradually, the air was filled with a faint fragrance of wood. The fragrance lingered in the air for a long time. It smelled like sandalwood, rosin, and fir.
At the next moment …
A skinny old man wearing a black robe came out from behind a bush.
The blood in his body surged like a tide. His strength rose as if it had a substance. It was like a stampede of ten thousand horses with a terrifying aura.
Above his head, a shadow of a wooden stake was formed. The wood was mottled and one could see the old bark and growth rings on it.
"Oh?
It's you? "Xiao Han recognized the skinny old man.
He was one of the few experts in the Pugilistic World.
Moreover, when Xiao Han was plucking the Nine-Tailed Sunflower Grass, he was hit on the back by the old man and was injured.
At this moment, Xiao Han took a closer look at the old man and realized that there was a simple and unadorned ring on his right index finger!
It's a storage ring!
"Forgive me for being straightforward. Among the Pugilistic World, those who can wear a storage ring … should be considered … very luxurious, right?" Xiao Han looked at the skinny old man with interest.
"Young man, you are indeed a disciple of the Cloud Rain Sect.
He was severely injured last night, but in just one day, he's already bouncing around and brimming with energy … He must've consumed some kind of divine healing medicine. Or, as Shangguan Yi said, he must've cultivated an excellent body refinement technique … Foundation, this is the foundation of a great sect. How enviable. "The old man's eyes were sinister and his expression was cold as he spoke slowly.
He had a bearing that could control the life and death of others. He was indeed an expert!
"Haha … I'm ashamed. Didn't I also run away like a stray dog under your pursuit?" Xiao Han grinned.
"Young man, you are too humble.
Along the way, I found many corpses. All of them were killed by heavy blows. Some of the corpses were even torn into pieces. It was a horrible sight.
Young man, you did this, right?
It seems that we have underestimated you. "The skinny old man smiled sinisterly.
"However, this is the end."
"Hmm?" Xiao Han narrowed his eyes.
"Young man, you are decisive in killing. Under such a dangerous situation, you still counterattacked and killed people. Moreover, this old man observed your bearing. You are fearless in the face of danger and have the demeanor of an expert.
However, this is the end for you after meeting this old man. "The skinny old man's body was filled with killing intent and his aura instantly rose.
"Although you have great potential, you are still a little too inexperienced for this old man.
Let me tell you, this old man is not an ordinary rogue cultivator of the Pugilistic World.
This old man is the Sect Master of Withered Wood Sect!
People in the Pugilistic World call me Venerable Withered Wood!
It is a worthy death for you to die in this old man's hands! "
"Hehehe ~ ~ To be able to kill a talented young man of a big sect is truly a great joy in life!
Hahahaha!
After killing you, the spiritual medicine in your stomach, your body refining technique and all your treasures will all belong to this old man!
Hahahaha! "
Venerable Withered Wood's aura rose steadily. The illusory wooden dummy formed by the energy above his head became more and more solid!
"Withered Wood Sect?"
Xiao Han was stunned. He had read the books that Cloud Rain Sect sent down and didn't remember there was a 'Withered Wood Sect' in Beacon Fire Empire.
He guessed that it should be some unknown small sect.
However, no matter what background this Venerable Withered Wood had, to Xiao Han, he was the best candidate to help him refine the medicinal effect in his body!
Moreover, on his right index finger, there was a storage ring. That was the symbol of wealth!
