The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 84 Internal Injury
On April 5th, the dawn broke.

Six burly men with bulging waists were walking on the long street, escorting Qin Zhiming, who was pale and coughing.

In the battle with the python, at the moment of life and death, Qin Zhiming took a risk.

He actively dispersed the internal energy of the Tiger Roaring Fiery Shroud, ignoring the fact that the skin and muscles on his neck and legs were torn by Fan Jingyi, and instead used the internal energy of the Killing Sword Technique.

He pulled out the right hand that was stuck in Fan Jingyi's eye socket, and before the internal energy of the killing sword technique had completely dissipated, he forcefully used the Tiger Roaring Fire Shield.

He smashed himself and Fan Jingyi to the ground together, making it impossible for him to relieve the force and eventually they were crushed to death.

As the price of victory, before completely dissipating the internal energy of the killing sword technique, he used another internal energy.

It would be fine if the skills were similar, but if they were two completely different skills, it would be like what happened to Qin Zhiming, with two internal energies fighting back and forth in the body.

Although the killing sword technique was unstoppable, it quickly suppressed the tiger-roaring blazing fire cover.

However, it also caused Qin Zhiming to suffer severe internal injuries. Whenever he moved his body a little, his internal organs would feel a burning pain.

Especially the lungs injured by the [Chiliu Cannon], which added insult to injury, forcing Qin Zhiming to cough constantly.

Fortunately, he took advantage of this opportunity to determine that the killing sword technique can not only enhance his own strength and explosiveness, but also specifically break the internal energy of others.

During the incident at Qinghua Lane, he cut off one of Wu's legs. He thought that Wu's internal energy was not enough to block the attack.

During the incident at the small pier, when Nie Hongshen was beheaded, he thought it was the evil thing wrapped around his right arm that destroyed his internal energy.

It was not until the incident on Chang Street when Qin Zhiming cut Xue Hu in half with one sword that he realized something was wrong.

The Bronze Statue Qigong and the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover are both hard Qigong, which focus on training internal Qi to protect the body.

Even so, he still didn't feel any resistance when he struck the sword.

He suspected at that time that it was caused by the internal energy of the killing sword technique.

After yesterday's battle, he easily pulled his right hand out of Fan Jingyi's eye socket without being trapped by his internal energy.

Only then did he completely conclude that the power of the killing sword technique lies in its ability to destroy the internal energy of a warrior.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Qin Zhiming stopped and turned to look at the wonton stall that had just been set up on the right.

"Ahem, you haven't eaten yet, right? Go over and eat something."

Six strong men moved with Qin Zhiming and sat down at the wonton stall.

"Two bowls each, and then go to the bun shop across the street and buy six baskets of meat buns."

Qin Zhiming said in a low voice.

The two sturdy men sitting next to him nodded, one walked towards the stall owner, and the other walked towards the bun shop opposite.

Seeing this, the other four strong men immediately stood up and two of them sat next to Qin Zhiming to continue protecting him.

While the dishes were being served, Qin Zhiming took out a pill and paid for it.

As the pill entered the stomach, coolness spread and the pain in the internal organs was alleviated.

This is the medicine he asked Shiquantang to prescribe for treating internal injuries. It is very expensive and very effective.

Ever since the Hua family was wiped out, most of the Hua family pharmacies in the city have moved to the Fanhai Gang's territory, even the medicine warehouses.

They also changed the name of the Hua Family Pharmacy to Shiquantang, and publicized it to the outside world because they were afraid that the Jingtao Gang would continue to harass them.

In fact, Qin Zhiming knew that this matter was also within Hong Gong’s plan, just like when Di Yanfeng took away most of the blacksmiths of the Di family.

The blacksmith of the Di family and the doctor of the Hua family are well-known popular people in the county town.

In the past, they were firmly controlled by the Hua and Di families. Others could not get them and could only go to them and let the two families set the price and slaughter them.

Now the Hua family pharmacy has been renamed, and the Di family blacksmith has been incorporated into the gang's iron shop. These people are all in the Fanhai Gang.

I heard that many of the gang members' children have become apprentices in iron shops or pharmacies.

By the time they grow up and learn everything, it will be the time for the Fanhai Gang to completely wipe out the Di and Hua families.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhiming asked the brother next to him:
"How is the brothers' literacy going recently? Is the new lecturer okay?"

A strong man scratched his head:

“According to your instructions, Brother Tiger, the brothers who are free must attend classes three times a day, and everyone complied.

The lecturer speaks well, but... some brothers don’t understand why they must be able to read.”

"Because you can't just fight and kill all your life, there will always be a day when you will take charge of people and territory.

How can you manage things if you can't even see the accounts clearly?

Tell the brothers to study hard.

I agreed to what you asked Ah Chen to do before. If you want to join the Tiger Martial Arts School, you can do so after the Jingtao Gang incident is over. If you know the brothers in the gang who have Qian Zi, you can join the school."

As soon as these words came out, the strong men on both sides of him suddenly became excited and winked at the brothers next to them.

The brothers nearby were so frightened that they put their hands on their waists and looked around, thinking something had happened.

Soon, the brothers who ordered the food sat back on both sides of Qin Zhiming, and the brothers who had been there before returned to their original seats to tell the others that there was hope for them to enter the restaurant.

At this time, the stall owner brought four bowls of steaming wontons on a wooden board and placed them on the table.

The sturdy man on Qin Zhiming's left picked up the spoon and took a sip.

After a moment, he nodded to Qin Zhiming and placed the bowl he was drinking in front of Qin Zhiming.

Then, the buns were served.

The sturdy man wanted to continue testing the poison, but Qin Zhiming waved his hand to refuse.

"It's okay, we're all neighbors, there's no need."

Qin Zhiming took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and handed it to the bun shop clerk.

The guy didn't dare to take it, so the strong man took the coin and stuffed it directly into his hand.

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, two people walked down the street.

A man wearing a round-necked robe, with a thin figure and the appearance of a scholar.

One of them was wearing a leather vest, revealing broad and strong arms, looking like a blacksmith.

These two people are Chen Youhuang of the Hundred Hands and Di Yanfeng of the Iron Hands.

Seeing this, the sturdy men on Qin Zhiming's left and right picked up their wontons and buns and made way.

After Chen Youhuang and Di Yanfeng took their seats, they both sighed.

Looking at the dark circles under their eyes, Qin Zhiming smiled and said:

"Why are you so tired?"

Chen Youhuang yawned, raised his hand and asked the stall owner for four bowls of wontons.

"Don't mention it. To prevent plague, according to the advice of the doctor of Shiquan Hall, all the bodies in our territory will be burned on the spot.

The area around the corpse should be washed with quicklime and water.

The buckets and carriages containing tuberose should also be washed with quicklime and water every day.

I took people with me last night and went door to door to inform everyone about this matter.

They gave quicklime, sent out candles to ward off evil spirits, and also asked them to record the strange things that had happened in the area recently.

I've been busy till now and have only dealt with half of them.

If the quicklime and exorcism candles that were distributed had not run out, and I had to find time to go back to the compound to get them, I wouldn't even have time to rest.

When I returned to the hospital, I happened to meet Afeng.

He said he wanted to have dinner with you, Brother Hu, and do some business with you, so I came here with him.

Ah Huai was busy in the yard, allocating supplies and had no time to come over.

Wait a minute, after the slaked lime and the exorcism candles are loaded onto the truck, I will continue to work."

Qin Zhiming frowned after hearing this: "Are there many strange things happening here? Are there enough candles to exorcise evil spirits?"

Chen Youhuang picked up the steaming wontons that had just been served, took two big gulps, and shook his head:
"Not many. Maybe it's because fewer people die in our area. Unlike other places where strange things happen one after another."

So far, there have been only two strange incidents. Many people heard a child crying outside the window late at night, and the sound disappeared when they lit a candle to drive away evil spirits.

Another thing is that when someone is drawing water, they see their reflection in the well waving at them.

I have sent people to seal all the wells where the accidents occurred, and sprinkled the ashes from the incense burner dedicated to the Dragon King on the sides of the wells. I hope everything will be fine.

As for the evil-repelling candle, everyone knows that it is very precious.

Only when something really happens will it be ignited.

Each household is given two sticks. If you don’t have enough sticks after using them up, you can come to the compound to get more. That will be enough for now.

I won't say any more, Brother Hu, I still have to bring food to the other brothers, so I'll go get busy now."

Chen Youhuang hurriedly finished his wontons, turned around and ran straight to the bun shop next door.

Qin Zhiming saw this and quickly said:
"Remember to bring the incense ash I got from the Taoist temple."
