Chapter 6: Master? Sap Master!
“Root bone… comprehension…”
Hong Yuan finally understood where the warm current that surged through his hundred bones when he encountered the strong servant’s counterattack, and the clear qi that made his mind empty and clear, came from.
It was an upgrade!
“And the so-called ‘Flying Immortal Pool’ actually has some effect, it’s not for deceiving people.”
Hong Yuan thought of the viscous medicinal liquid that the maidservants poured into the ‘Flying Immortal Pool’. One medicinal bath had increased his root bone by a sliver.
“Are the perfection of root bone and comprehension both one hundred?”
Although both his root bone and comprehension had only increased by two silvers and two strands, Hong Yuan didn’t fuss about it, because his initial stats were very high.
His body had been strengthened once by the ‘Transmigration Benefit’, and its robustness far surpassed the ordinary. With one arm, he could lift Xiao Chan, who weighed about ninety jin, as if picking up a chick, and he still had plenty of strength to spare.
Hong Yuan hesitated whether he could lift two Xiao Chans stacked together with one hand, but even if he couldn’t, the difference shouldn’t be significant.
Coupled with the talent of 【 Qi Flows Through the Hundred Skeletons 】, and his enhanced body coordination, a swift punch could unleash at least several hundred jin of strength!
He couldn’t test the exact amount, but it was estimated to be no less than five or six hundred jin.
This was without Hong Yuan ever undergoing training and development, and the strength that could be mobilized in actual combat versus hitting a fixed target was not comparable.
Of course, in real combat, if strength is not absolutely overwhelming, the exact amount matters little; the best way to kill is with a weapon.
With Hong Yuan’s current physical stats, let alone this unfamiliar world and whether it had supernatural elements, even in his previous life, he wouldn’t have been at the very peak. What truly gave him powerful combat ability were the two talent boosts.
【 Qi Flows Through the Hundred Skeletons 】 brought about body coordination and quick reactions.
【 Clear Eyes and Penetrating 】 possessed sharp observation and combat prediction—
It propelled him, a novice who had never practiced boxing or martial arts before, to the level of ‘Master Ye’ in an instant.
It had already surpassed the current world!
After all, in the current world, no matter what Kung Fu master or combat master, they would boast endlessly off the stage, but once they got into the arena, they would almost all resort to wild punches.
Hong Yuan glanced at the ‘Blessed Land Dao Master’ column.
He understood everything else, except for this, which puzzled him. As he gazed at the words ‘Blessed Land Dao Master’, the text in front of him transformed into a gray-black vortex.
With just one glance, Hong Yuan felt as if the vortex was sucking his mind away. He didn’t feel the slightest danger; on the contrary, he had an urgent desire to plunge into it.
“Now is not the time!”
Hong Yuan suppressed his restless emotions, gripped his quarterstaff tightly, his killing intent boiling, and strode forward.
This was his first kill, and he didn’t feel much discomfort; his body was still in a state of excitement. After all, fearing killing wasn’t about the act itself, but more about the consequences.
At this moment, the sound of clubs clashing echoed endlessly in the hall. Yang Lie wanted to charge towards the high platform but was blocked by three robust servant women. One held a short blade, and two held quarterstaffs, forming a pincer attack on Yang Lie.
Yang Lie’s feet generated wind, his steps swift as he dodged left and right, never giving the three an opportunity to attack in unison. His quarterstaff danced, smashing and chopping!
He blocked two quarterstaffs with his single one. Amidst the collisions, he felt the fierce strength emanating from his opponents, and his heart sank.
What made him even more wary was the strong woman wielding the blade, who stared at him like a poisonous snake. Every time he tried to break through, she would thrust her blade like a venomous snake, with skillful and vicious and ruthless angles. His back was already bleeding, his clothes ripped open, and a gash split his skin and flesh; this was the work of this woman.
The remaining two robust women ignored Hong Yuan and rushed towards the high platform, their faces filled with urgency and fear.
On the platform, ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’ let out a pig-like howl, continuously shouting: “Useless! All of you are useless! What’s the point of raising you servants? Save me quickly! Aooooh!”
At this moment, she no longer referred to herself as ‘Mother of Virtue’ or ‘Your Excellency’ or anything similar.
Seeing this situation, the two people in colorful clothes also had red eyes. The person in colorful clothes whose wrist was being held by ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’ couldn’t break free and opened their mouth to bite the latter’s palm.
However, this ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’ was too plump. Even though the person in colorful clothes opened their mouth as wide as possible, they only managed to bite one thumb.
Crack!
Fingers are connected to the heart. ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’ struggled with all her might, but the person in colorful clothes bit her thumb as if with pliers. No matter how she struggled, it was useless. Furthermore, the person in colorful clothes stared at her with hateful eyes, their face showing a sinister grin.
As if wanting to vent all their immense resentment.
The other person in colorful clothes held a sharpened wooden stick, constantly applying force to the flesh of ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’s’ face, trying to stab deeper. They also opened their mouth wide, intending to imitate their companion.
Bang!
Amidst a dull thud, a shadow of a club struck his head, directly cracking his skull, killing him instantly!
It was a robust woman who had ascended the high platform and killed him with one blow.
On the other side, a rough palm also reached the edge of the high platform. Following that, they flipped over and exerted force, a sturdy body leaping onto the platform. Their palms flew, a cold light flashed, and a short blade was thrust out, piercing the back of the neck of the person in colorful clothes who was biting the thumb of ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’.
This person in colorful clothes trembled, finally unable to hold on and let go, mumbling: “Old bitch…”
Before the words were out, the person was silent.
The robust woman holding the short blade, though she had saved ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’, her dark face was filled with fear, as ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’s’ face was not only bloody and mangled, but her thumb was also bitten off, only attached by some skin and flesh.
“Bastards! All of you are bastards! Chop them all up and feed them to the dogs!” ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’ howled.
It wasn’t that Hong Yuan didn’t want to save them, but it had only taken a few sentences. He had no ability to fly. He looked towards the high platform. The ‘Immortal Aunt’ inside the six curtains was already in a panic, and someone even shouted: “Open the dark gate, quickly leave!”
Figures flickered within each curtain. Hong Yuan heard a creaking sound, as if hidden small doors were being opened.
“Trying to run? Have you asked my club?”
Hong Yuan’s eyes were cold.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him blurred. Xiao Chan, like a graceful butterfly, blocked his path. The charming smile was gone from her face: “I never expected that I misjudged, Young Master Hong is actually a martial artist. However, you have committed a great mistake by disrupting the Immortal Realm, now quickly retreat.”
“Further progress will lead to eternal damnation.”
Within this manor, her status was very high, all because she had certain secret relations with ‘Mother of Virtue and Power’. Therefore, seeing ‘Mother of Virtue’ injured, she was grinding her teeth at this moment.
Whoosh!
Hong Yuan wouldn’t hold back just because they had some interaction during massages and foot washing. He was too lazy to talk nonsense and swung his club straight down.
Xiao Chan snorted coldly. Her colorful robes fluttered around her. Her waist bent backward as if broken. Her slender legs, with her left leg firmly planted on the ground like a nail, her right leg instantly tensed, springing up like a bowstring, and kicked towards Hong Yuan’s swinging wrist with a ‘pa’ sound.
Hong Yuan flipped his wrist, avoiding the kick, lowered his body, and then swept his quarterstaff out horizontally.
Xiao Chan tapped the ground with her left foot, spinning up like a top. Her colorful brocade robes fluttered like butterfly wings. Despite being in combat, she seemed to be dancing gracefully, a pleasure to behold.
Hong Yuan was surprised; this little girl was actually a master!
Pa!
Xiao Chan’s toes landed precisely on the soft flesh of the arm of a previously fallen servant woman. Her foot slipped, causing her to stumble, and her body swayed.
“Ah!” She let out a short, low cry, followed by the shadow of a club falling, smashing heavily onto her face.
Instantly—
This beautiful little face was shattered, flesh flying, blood splashing. She was sent flying, tumbling on the ground, and could no longer get up.
“Fighting is fighting, why are you dancing like a shaman? I almost thought you were a real master, what are you pretending for?”
Hong Yuan was somewhat speechless.
On this autumn night, a hot surge of fire entered the hall from outside. A bright red glow surged into the sky. The clamor outside grew louder, and the sounds of fighting rapidly approached.
Thump!
A man dressed as a guard stumbled and crashed against the door, whether he was kicked there or not was unknown. Immediately, a swift blade light flashed, and with a “chi” sound, it grazed his throat!
Two lean figures in black clothes broke into the hall. One was about thirty years old, with a narrow face and hawk-like eyes. He held a steel saber, its tip dripping blood.
Upon seeing these two appear, Yang Lie, who was fighting, immediately rejoiced.
Suddenly discovered that combat power can be set to… Master Ye level—Brother Jie’s Jingwu Chen Zhen level—Master Huang level—Yan Kong level—
