The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 22 Life for Life
In the martial arts hall, Fang Xun appeared with a confused look on his face.

After coming to his senses, he rubbed his neck and still felt a faint phantom pain.

Looking at Yue Buqun's name on the first door, Fang Xun had an extremely painful expression on his face.

"Fuck! Is this really the day after tomorrow?!"

Although he had a hunch that he would not be able to beat Yue Buqun, he did not expect the gap to be so huge.

Although Yue Buqun does not have a very good reputation, his famous "Bixie Sword Manual" is well-known.

Just now, the opponent launched a sneak attack with two embroidery needles, which almost blinded his eyes. Fortunately, he managed to dodge them.

But in the following battle, Fang Xun could only passively defend throughout.

Yue Buqun's movements were strange and erratic, and his Five Mountains swordsmanship was superb. Coupled with the even more threatening embroidery needle, Fang Xun's every move was like dancing on the edge of a knife.

He had no power to fight back at all, and only managed to hold on for less than thirty moves before being stabbed in the throat and died. Even now, there was still a phantom pain in his throat.

Fang Xun touched his throat unconsciously again. When he read novels and watched TV dramas in his previous life, he did not have a deep impression of Yue Buqun's strength.

Now, after being killed by Yue Buqun once, he had a profound understanding.

Fang Xun subconsciously compared the strength of Yue Buqun and Ma Yu in his mind.

Although Yue Buqun's realm was only acquired, he was absolutely sure through the fight just now that even if Ma Yu was injured tonight, he would only be defeated if he faced Yue Buqun.

As for the comparison with Ma Yu in his prime, Fang Xun felt that the difference in strength between the two was not that big, and the outcome would only be known after a fight.

Thinking of this, Fang Xun thought of Dongfang Bubai, who was recognized as the best in the world in "Swordsman".

"Yue Buqun is so strong, but he is still a step behind Linghu Chong. What about Dongfang Bubai who almost wiped out Linghu Chong and his group? But Miss Dongfang is so strong, she should be in the Xiantian realm, right?"

Fang Xun shook his head to dispel the random thoughts in his mind, then his mind left the martial arts hall and the scene in front of him returned to the backyard.

He directly took out the small pill he had just obtained and swallowed it. After the pill entered his mouth, it immediately turned into powerful medicinal power.

The true Qi in the body also started to circulate and began to digest the power of the medicine, like the endless flow of the Yangtze River, flowing from the Dantian to the limbs and bones, and after a cycle, returning to the Dantian.

In an instant, Fang Xun felt that his true energy broke through several blockages and began to open up the fifth extraordinary meridian.

Although Xiaohuandan has a mild medicinal property, it is originally a pill for increasing the innate power. If an ordinary person at the acquired realm takes it, he will soon feel pain in the meridians, which is somewhat beyond his tolerance limit.

But Fang Xun had a strong physique and did not feel any pain at all. Instead, he felt extremely comfortable, as if his entire body was being massaged.

About an hour later, Fang Xun opened his eyes.

'Break through the tenth level of the acquired realm, and all twelve meridians are accessible!'

The next moment, his body moved suddenly.

Suddenly, there were many people in the backyard. Fang Xun's figure flashed back and forth, and his speed was so fast that he left a trail of afterimages in various places in the backyard.

After opening up the six meridians in the lower limbs, Fang Xun's "A Hundred Changes of Divine Movement" was fully accomplished.

The Divine Movement is divided into three levels. The first level is "Grease the feet". After mastering it, one can not only move nimbly in a small range, but also travel a thousand miles a day.

The second layer is "gecko climbing wall", which allows one to climb over the wall and enter the house as if walking on flat ground.

The third level is 'Loach Drilling Holes', which can only be practiced after opening up the twelve main meridians in the lower limbs. During battle, the mind method is circulated, and the internal force rotates and vibrates, which can remove the external force and make the whole body as slippery as a loach.

After a while, Fang stopped suddenly, felt the true energy in his body, and frowned.

He had just swallowed a Qingyun Pill yesterday and had just used a Xiaohuan Pill.

Although the two kinds of elixirs from Sanshiliu were of excellent quality, they still made his originally pure true energy become a little weak.

After calming down, Fang Xun sat cross-legged on the ground again and silently recited something in his mind.

'Absorb Mei Niansheng's essence and martial arts memory insights!'

In an instant, the familiar warmth re-emerged from within the body, but this time it was accompanied by all of Mei Niansheng's insights into martial arts skills.

From learning horse stance to forming the sense of qi and practicing the first trace of internal strength, to practicing boxing and sword, going through one battle after another until the magical power is perfected.

Fang Xun completely absorbed all of Mei Niansheng's memories and insights of martial arts throughout his life, and in an instant he entered the wonderful realm of 'watching the gods shine everywhere, without thoughts or ideas' as described in the "Shen Zhao Jing".

The warm current transformed from essence continuously emerges, comprehensively improving everything about Fang Xun.

Among the gold-based martial arts, the "Shen Zhao Jing" is not as profound as the Nine Yin and Nine Yang, the "Yi Jin Jing" and several magical skills of the Xiaoyao Sect.

But it is also a top-notch internal skill in the gold system. Not only does it have incredible healing abilities, but the true Qi it cultivates is also extremely pure, which makes it very suitable for purifying complex internal forces.

In a short while, Fang Xun's skills were refined and more pure than before. His foundation, which had become a little weak due to taking the pill, became solid again. At this moment, he entered a mysterious state but did not stop practicing. His true energy continued to move around the body according to the route of the Shen Zhao Jing.

Before he knew it, Fang Xun's power had reached a higher level, and he entered the eleventh level of the acquired realm. There was no movement during the process, and everything happened naturally, as if it was a smooth process.

It was unknown how long it had been, but after his realm was completely consolidated, Fang Xun opened his eyes, his body trembled, and a long white gas came out of his mouth, shooting out three feet before turning into smoke and dissipating.

He looked up at the sky and immediately saw a hint of paleness in the sky.

'The night passed so quickly.'

Fang Xun stood up, stretched, and then stretched his muscles a little. He glanced at the several force-measuring stone blocks in the training ground and walked over quickly.

With a lift and a throw, the thousand-pound stone pier was thrown into the sky like a ball, and Fang Xun stretched out his hands when it fell.

With a bang, he easily caught the stone pillar and placed it on the ground.

After doing all this, Fang Xun did not blush or breathe heavily, and he was still measuring his progress in his mind.

'After absorbing Mei Niansheng's essence, my physical strength has only increased by 30%. It seems that the stronger my physical strength was before the absorption, the less improvement I have.'

Fang Xun's strength has already surpassed the acquired realm. In addition to the external skills he developed by being tortured by Nalan Yuanshu for five whole years, it is also due to his physique strengthened by absorbing the essence of martial arts characters.

However, as his physique grows stronger, the effect will become weaker.

Shaking his head, Fang Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind immersed in the martial arts hall.

In the infinitely vast arena, he and Yue Buqun appeared at the same time again.

This time, Yue Buqun didn't even say a word. He drew his sword with a clang, and his figure instantly crossed several feet and stabbed Fang Xun with his sword.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xun just slightly turned his body and offered his right chest to the tip of the sword.

With a puff, Fang Xun felt a sharp pain in his chest. The Gentleman Sword pierced through his chest like lightning. Even the black armor vest could only absorb part of the force!
Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on with the other party, but his expression changed immediately the next moment.

Fang Xun endured the severe pain and instantly grabbed Yue Buqun's sword-holding wrist with his left hand and pulled it.

This time Yue Buqun was caught off guard and instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but Fang Xun's strength was too terrifying and he actually made him stagger.

With a bang, the bodies of both parties collided with each other. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xun directly headbutted the other party, and the two men's foreheads collided.

Yue Buqun suddenly saw stars and felt dizzy.

Then there was a bang.

Yue Buqun covered his chest and took several steps back, looking at the other party in disbelief.

At this time, Fang Xun on the opposite side had blood gushing out of his chest and his face was extremely pale. The sword just now pierced his lung directly.

Although the heart was avoided, Fang Xun was only holding on by relying on his deep internal strength. He would die in less than a quarter of an hour.

But it was all worth it. Yue Buqun was shot in the heart by him, and if anyone had to die, Eunuch Yue would be the first to die.

Fang Xun didn't have the energy to waste time on a character like Yue Buqun who was unwilling to exchange martial arts but wanted to cling on and occupy the spot. The right thing to do was to kill him quickly and move on to the next character.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across Yue Buqun's face, and the finger pointing at Fang Xun trembled.

"you you you."

After saying three "伱" characters incoherently, the famous Gentleman Sword fell to the ground with a bang.

The next moment, Fang Xun felt dizzy and his figure reappeared in the training ground of the martial arts hall.

He looked at his chest and found that the fatal wound had disappeared.

Then he chose to absorb Yue Buqun's martial arts memories and insights. After about a quarter of an hour, he stood up again, walked quickly to the first door, pushed it open, and entered the arena again.

The scene changed again.

Fang Xun saw a tall and handsome young man with a rectangular face, sharp eyebrows and thin lips sitting on the ground opposite him with a lazy look on his face.

The young man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, with a vigorous and unrestrained smile on his face. The scabbard of the sword at his waist was black, and the green silk tassel on the hilt was swaying.

I saw a jar of wine next to him and he was drinking by himself.

After Fang Xun appeared, the young man raised his glass and shouted: "Brother Fang, it's your turn. It's a bit lonely to drink alone without a companion. Why don't you have a drink first and then talk about other things?"

Fang Xun looked at the young man in front of him, and a huge stone in his heart suddenly disappeared. Although the young man in front of him was Yue Buqun's apprentice, he was much easier to communicate with than Eunuch Yue.

[Linghu Chong, twelfth level of acquired nature, from "Swordsman", to be defeated]
