A martial artist's cultivation consisted of external forging and internal forging. External forging was divided into external forging of skin and membrane, external forging of flesh and blood, and external forging of bones and tendons.
External forging of skin and membrane could make a person's skin as tough as an old bull's. Even a blade could not cut through it.
Old Sixth Liu should have only begun the initial practice of external forging of skin and membrane. Otherwise, the wound would not have been so deep.
However, even if it was only the initial practice, his skin and membrane were already very different. It had become much tougher and could withstand part of the attack.
"Humph!"
Old Sixth Liu snorted and turned around. He aimed his claw at the other man's temple and gave it a hard peck.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted out. The man's eyes rolled back and he died.
After killing two people in a row, Old Sixth Liu's aura became even stronger. Just a glare seemed to be more intimidating than before.
The last man saw this and his face turned pale. He panicked and turned to run.
The three of them had joined forces, but two of them had been killed in the blink of an eye. They were naturally terrified.
However, Old Sixth Liu would not let them escape. He endured the pain on his back and stomped on the ground. The ground caved in slightly under the force.
His body seemed to be loaded with springs. He crossed a few meters in the blink of an eye.
He stretched out his hand and placed it directly on the man's shoulder. Then, he grabbed and twisted his hand.
With a cracking sound, the last person's neck was broken by him.
"Phew, you dare to kill me? You should know if you have the ability to do so."
Old Sixth Liu took a deep breath and said with a sneer.
If any one of the three men had reached the level of external forging of skin and membrane, he would have been in deep trouble.
However, they were just ordinary people who had practiced pole-standing and had a little bit of force. They had not even practiced martial arts. Of course, he did not take them seriously.
"As expected of a martial artist who has undergone external forging. His strength, stamina, and speed are much stronger than ordinary people."
Ziyue's heart tightened. Old Sixth Liu's ability to kill three people in a row put a certain amount of pressure on him.
"Oh no, he found me."
Suddenly, Ziyue's expression changed.
He saw Old Sixth Liu suddenly crouch and pick up a long saber. He quickly rushed toward him.
"There's another one. Kid?
Is he one of their sons?
Today, I'll let your whole family gather. "
As Old Sixth Liu said this, his expression turned vicious. He raised his hand and swung his saber.
"Hmph, I'm your father!"
Ziyue's face was filled with anger, but his figure suddenly retreated.
"Hmm?"
Old Sixth Liu was slightly stunned, and his eyes suddenly became cold. The saber light turned, and the saber fell down fiercely.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing could be heard.
In the blink of an eye, Ziyue finally lifted his saber.
Pig slaughtering knife!
Even though he looked a little young and weak, he could not stand up to the wind.
However, with his Zen Stance perfected, his physique and strength were far superior to the three men from before. In terms of strength, he was only slightly weaker than Old Sixth Liu, who had already begun his external tempering.
Old Sixth Liu's saber was completely blocked by him, even though he had used all his strength.
"So strong?"
Old Sixth Liu's heart skipped a beat. He finally realized that the young man in front of him was not simple.
It was impossible for an ordinary person to possess such great strength when they were in their teens.
Although his opponent was surprised, Ziyue did not dare to be distracted.
This was his first real battle since he started learning martial arts. As soon as his opponent charged at him, he was fully focused.
Eighteen Consecutive Saber Moves!
Ziyue guided the force in his body and swung his Pig Slaughtering Knife like lightning.
As early as yesterday, after Ziyue had mastered the Eighteen Consecutive Saber Moves, he immediately raised it to the level of Small Success.
In the Small Success Eighteen Consecutive Saber Moves, three saber moves could be turned into one saber move. Its power was doubled compared to normal.
Ziyue's move seemed to be only one move, but there were three forces in his arm that exploded at the same time.
After all, Old Sixth Liu had rich combat experience. Although he was a little surprised, he reacted quickly. He raised his long saber to block Bai Ziyue's saber, while his other hand tightened and turned black, turning into an eagle's claw. He leaned forward and wanted to take advantage of the momentum to kill the kid in front of him.
However, the moment his saber blocked Ziyue's Pig Slaughtering Knife.
Clang!
After a crisp sound, he immediately felt a force that was far beyond his expectations gushing out from the Pig Slaughtering Knife. It was as if the force was crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. It directly knocked his saber to the side.
As the force gushed out, his body stagnated for a moment.
"Kill!"
Kill him while he's down!
Ziyue naturally did not want to miss such an opportunity. The force in his body surged quickly, and his other hand seemed to have doubled in size in an instant. He then punched out.
Straight Connecting Punch!
The Great Success Level One Word Linked Punch landed heavily on Old Sixth Liu's stomach.
Bam!
Old Sixth Liu's stomach caved in. The powerful force gushed out like a firecracker. Not only did it tear apart his clothes and tough skin, but it also sent his body flying. After three or four meters, he fell down like a rag.
Walking quickly, Ziyue raised his Pig Slaughtering Knife again and swung it down without hesitation.
Puff!
The Pig Slaughtering Knife landed directly on Old Sixth Liu's neck, and the blade sank into his flesh.
"I didn't expect that I could only cut his neck in half after using all my strength.
From the looks of it, the executioner's blade on the beheading platform back then was definitely not simple. "
Looking at Old Sixth Liu, who was finally killed by him, Ziyue did not know why, but he suddenly remembered the executioner's strike on the first day he stepped into Qinghe Town.
At that time, he only thought that the strike was very fast, extremely fast.
However, in comparison, he felt that the strike was not only fast, but also extremely powerful.
It should be noted that Old Sixth Liu's neck, which was only at the initial stage of external forging, was already so difficult to cut. It was said that Wu Liang, the Fourth Chieftain of the Ghost Head Stronghold, was at the level of internal refining. Not only was his skin as tough as an old cow's, but his muscles and bones were also trained to an amazing degree.
Even so, his head was separated from his body in an instant when faced with that strike. One could only imagine how terrifying that strike was.
…
During the battle, Ziyue was nervous and excited, but when he really killed Old Sixth Liu, his heart inexplicably calmed down. Facing the bloody scene of blood gushing out of his opponent's neck, he did not feel as uncomfortable as he did at the beginning.
Of course, Ziyue naturally knew that this was not the time to reminisce and lament. After confirming that Old Sixth Liu was completely dead, he immediately untied the bag on his body.
From the beginning to the end, Old Sixth Liu had been carrying a bag on his body.
He was not sure if the external forging skill book was in the bag. Perhaps for safety reasons, Old Sixth Liu had left the Five Stage Golden Body book with the people from the Wuwei Escort Agency.
However, Ziyue had no choice.
He could not rush to the Ox-Head Mountain and take it back.
It was obvious that the people from the Wuwei Escort Agency were much stronger than Old Sixth Liu.
Of course, that included him.
