The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 20 Sorrow By the Way
Fang Xun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the black-bodied man lying on the ground with a lingering fear.

I saw a bloody hole as wide as a finger on the other person's chest, and blood was gushing out and quickly spreading on the ground.

At this time, Yan Ming and his group also came to their senses, and quickly ran to Fang Xun's side, asking with concern: "Xun brother, are you okay?"

"Fortunately."

After saying this casually, Fang Xun suddenly reached out to Yan Ming's waist, pulled out his sword, and threw it at the man in black lying on the ground.

With a whoosh, the tip of the knife instantly pierced into the chest. A flower of blood bloomed on the black-clothed man's chest again, and the handle of the knife kept shaking.

After finishing off the enemy with this blow, Fang Xun finally felt relieved. Yan Ming and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere finally relaxed for a moment.

"I was really scared. I thought Brother Xun wanted to..."

"Go away, what are you talking about? Isn't Brother Xun fine now?"

"Hey, this hidden weapon move has been mentioned before by Brother Xun. It seems to be called something like "Ashina Sword Technique"."

"You remembered it wrongly. Brother Xun was clearly talking about the American Iai Slash!"

"Hahaha, anyway, Brother Xun is powerful. So what if he is the thirty-sixth innate disciple? He still fell into Brother Xun's hands!"

Fang Xun listened to the conversation of others and shook his head, saying calmly: "He was seriously injured, and I killed him with a hidden weapon, so it was not a fair victory. Don't brag about this matter in the future, and don't cause trouble for me."

Yan Ming and the others immediately fell silent, but their eyes were still full of admiration.

What happened to the hidden weapon?
If you don't have enough strength, you will only be beaten to death by the men in black even if you have powerful hidden weapons.

The previous move of the dragon-tiger collision has already proved that Xun Ge'er's current strength is no weaker than Xiantian.

After saying this, Fang Xun looked at Xiao Ding standing beside him.

At this time, Xiao Ding was supported by two constables. His face was extremely pale, and his right arm was completely drooped. It seemed that he was completely disabled.

Not only were the bones of his right arm crushed, but his meridians were also broken inch by inch. He could only be healed by magical medicine such as the Black Jade Ointment in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

There are similar miraculous medicines like this in this world, but Wei Lin and Fang Xun don't have them, let alone a small place like Sanshui County.

Xiao Ding’s future path in martial arts was completely cut off.

Fang Xun sighed inwardly.

In the Tiangang Big Dipper formation, the Qi of other people is connected and the power of each person is gathered into the person who makes each attack. If you hit the head, the tail will respond, if you hit the tail, the head will respond, if you hit the waist, both the head and the tail will respond, thus trapping the enemy firmly in the formation.

Unless one of the seven is knocked down, there is no way to escape.

But this formation emphasizes using stillness to overcome movement.

Just now, Xiao Ding was so proud that he took the initiative to take a step forward to attack, which disrupted his energy. Then the man in black roared like a lion, which shocked everyone and took the opportunity to crush his right arm.

Otherwise, if the seven of them did not seek to achieve any merit but only to avoid making any mistakes, they would be able to resist the opponent's "Lion's Roar Kung Fu".

If Fang Xun hadn't thrown the stick to save him in time, Xiao Ding would probably have lost his life.

But looking at Xiao Ding's dejected and gloomy face, Fang Xun suddenly didn't want to blame him anymore. The blow of having his martial arts career cut off was enough.

The others looked at Xiao Ding and their expressions became serious.

After a while, Fang Xun calmed down and slowly said, "Xiao Ding, you won't be able to work in the government anymore. What are your plans for the future?"

Xiao Ding forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xun. I have saved up some money following Brother Xun over the years, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to buy a small restaurant.

I am also taken care of by the brothers in the government office. Although I cannot become rich, I don’t have to worry about my livelihood.”

Fang Xun pondered for a moment before saying, "How about this? Among Feiyutang's properties, there are several restaurants at the pier. Tomorrow you go to Master Chen to let him know and buy one of them for fifty taels."

After hearing this, Xiao Ding burst into tears of gratitude: "Xun'er, I have no way to repay your kindness."

Just as he was about to kneel down, Fang Xun lifted him up and said, "We are all brothers. Why are you saying so much? Open your business soon and invite me to show my support!"

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Fang Xun turned around and saw Mr. Li and his sons looking at him in a trance.

After walking up to him, Mr. Li calmed himself down and bowed to Fang Xun.

"Thanks to Captain Fang, my Li family was able to survive this disaster. I have no way to repay you for your kindness, and this little bit of money is not enough to express my gratitude."

After Fang Xun calmly accepted the greeting, eight maids came one after another behind Mr. Li, holding wooden trays covered with silk cloth in their hands, and walked in front of Fang Xun and the other seven constables.

Fang Xun pulled open the silk cloth and saw a stack of silver bills. He picked them up and counted them, and found that there were exactly one thousand taels.

The other constables followed suit. They received thirty taels of silver each. After receiving their rewards, they all looked happy. Even Xiao Ding's depressed mood was relieved.

At this time, Mr. Li looked at the body of the man in black, and felt that the heavy burden on his heart had instantly dissipated, and his face was relieved. He turned to look at Fang Xun, his eyes full of awe.

"Captain Fang's strength is unfathomable. Ma Yu, the thirty-sixth innate disciple, was easily defeated. He has a bright future ahead of him!"

Fang Xun walked to Ma Yu's body, shook his head and said, "You don't deserve such praise. Ma Yu was already injured, and I used a hidden weapon to take advantage of him.

In terms of true strength, let alone when he is at his peak, even now I am definitely no match for him."

Although this was a deliberate self-deprecation, Ma Yu's real strength did indeed exceed Fang Xun's expectations, not to mention his signature skill, the "Dragon Claw", which he had mastered to perfection.

However, he had actually mastered the notoriously difficult body-protection skill "Golden Bell Cover" to a certain level, which directly led to Fang Xun being caught off guard and almost killed.

If the opponent's "Golden Bell Cover" had not yet been practiced to the level where he could move his energy at will like he has now, he would not be able to instantly form a protective energy when operating it.

Otherwise, as soon as the mind thinks, the true Qi will condense into a golden bell outside the body, and the protective Qi will instantly cover every part of the body.

At this time, not to mention ordinary swords, even Fang Xun's flintlock rifle could not break the turtle shell.

Of course, if Ma Yu had not been injured, Fang Xun would definitely have turned around and run with Yan Ming and the others without any hesitation.

Shaking his head, Fang Xun squatted down and tore open Ma Yu's sleeves with a ripping sound. His two strong arms were immediately exposed to the air.

Everyone immediately noticed that Ma Yu's shoulders were swollen and purple.

These injuries were caused by Wei Lin, which prevented him from exerting full strength with both hands. If he used too much force, his shoulder injury would be affected.

hiss--

Everyone in the Li family gasped when they saw that Ma Yu, who had just killed a group of servants as easily as killing chickens, was still seriously injured.

"If Ma Yu comes in his prime."

Thinking of this, they all shuddered.

Fang Xun ignored the expressions of others and started to touch Ma Yu all over.

Old Master Li felt a chill in his heart as he watched Fang Xun's actions.

If it were any other young man, he would have been so proud of himself if he could defeat a thirty-six-men innate person in the day after tomorrow.

But he did not see any of the arrogance that a young man should have in this boy. Then he thought about the fact that he was only in his early eighteen years old. It was simply terrifying!
Suddenly, Old Master Li became alert again and decided to offend Xun Ge'er instead of anyone else.

Fang Xun had no idea what Old Master Li was thinking, and he quickly found some fragments.

There were several silver bills, some small change and copper coins, totaling about one hundred taels of silver, and three small white porcelain bottles with labels.

Looking at the labels on the porcelain bottles, "Huoxue Tongluo Pills", "Golden Wound Medicine" and "Xiaohuandan", Fang Xun's eyes immediately lit up.

"Top-quality goods from the Yaowangyuan of the Great Zen Temple!"

Huoxue Tongluo Pills and Jinchuang Medicine are medicines for treating internal injuries and external injuries respectively.

These two kinds of medicines for injuries are not exclusive to the Dachan Temple. The basic formulas are already commonplace and anyone who knows a little about pharmacology can prepare them on their own.

However, many people have developed various improved versions based on this product, and the quality and effects are far better than the basic versions of popular products.

The two kinds of medicines produced by Dachan Temple are of first-class quality.

As for the Xiaohuandan, it is unique to the Dachan Temple. It is a cultivation resource distributed to the innate disciples in the temple. After taking it, the disciples' skills can be increased by five years.

It doesn't look as good as the Qingyun Pill from Broken Sword Villa which can increase one's strength by ten years.

But Qingyun Pills require ten years of acquired skills, while Xiaohuan Dan requires five years of innate skills. The difference between them is immeasurable.

Fang Xun thought to himself that if he took it, he should be able to open up another of the eight extraordinary meridians and break through the tenth level of the acquired realm, and at the same time open up six of the twelve main meridians in the lower limbs.

After taking a look, Fang Xun quickly put away the spoils and stood up. Then he saw Mr. Li asking Xiao Ding about his well-being.

At this time, Fang Xun didn't want to stay here any longer, so he said goodbye to Old Master Li: "Now that the matter here is over, we won't bother you any more. Now that it's over, please accept my condolences."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Li immediately thought of his son and his face turned sad, but he quickly calmed down.

"I'll see you off."

Not long after, Old Master Li and the others from the Li family escorted Fang Xun and his eight companions out of the door and stopped there, and the two sides said goodbye.

Watching Fang Xun and eight others leave, Mr. Li finally retracted the forced smile on his face, looking exhausted.

After taking a deep breath, he forced himself to take his sons back. Although he was extremely tired, there were still many things at home that needed him to deal with.
