Chapter 33: Consecutive Kills

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“What should I do?”

Zhou You’s mind raced as he continued on his way, thinking of countermeasures.

He thought about the battle he witnessed. Zhou You’s expression turned solemn and his gaze became firm.

“I can’t beat Bone Forging martial artists, but those Body Forging martial artists who know joint attack techniques seem like a potentially good target… I can break their joint attack techniques!

Since that was the case, he would take a gamble!

“The Bone Forging martial artists had probably all gone to chase after the martial artists from the various dojos. As for those people running after me, since I’m a weak apothecary without martial arts, they should be Body Forging martial artists!”

“There aren’t many of them. At most, they will send a few people to chase after me. If I can deal with them, I can buy a long period of safety and definitely escape safely!”

After making up his mind, he headed in the direction of Mengyang City while searching for a place to ambush.

Soon, Zhou You took a fancy to a big tree. The branches and leaves were lush, and the view was wide. He could attack or retreat.

He did not climb up the tree immediately. Instead, he continued to rush forward for a while before returning carefully. He climbed up the tree and hid in the dense leaves to wait silently.

Not long after, a masked man caught up from afar. He lowered his head from time to time to check, clearly looking for traces left behind by Zhou You.

His tracks were not difficult to find. The masked man quickly passed under the tree and was very fast. Zhou You was not even prepared to make a move, so he could only give up for the time being.

On the tree, Zhou You held his breath and did not dare to move or look directly at him. He only watched the masked man leave from the corner of his eye.

Before long, the masked man appeared in his vision again.

This time, his speed was extremely slow. He checked the traces by the roadside very carefully.

Zhou You instantly tensed up.

As the masked man approached, he finally arrived not far from the tree.

He secretly estimated the distance and did not hesitate anymore. Zhou You suddenly jumped out of the leaves and pounced down from the tree.

Coincidentally, the masked man raised his head in confusion.

Their eyes met.

PAH!

He suddenly moved in on the masked man and borrowed the momentum of the fall. Before the masked man could react, Zhou You had already pounced on him. His legs wrapped around his chest and abdomen, and his left hand grabbed his neck and twisted it.

Crack!

The masked man fell to the ground without a word. His legs twitched and he completely stopped moving.

Instant kill!

Zhou You made up his mind and quickly touched the masked man.

There were a few Essence Energy Pills, medicines, antidotes, and more than ten taels of silver in his waist pouch.

After stuffing the items into his chest, Zhou You quickly dealt with the scene and looked for the next ambush location.

At this moment, two masked men dashed over from afar and saw Zhou You at a glance.

“Don’t run! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

The target had run so far, so they were already suspicious and came together, unlike the rash fellow from before.

If the two of them joined forces, they would even be able to slow down a Bone Forging martial artist. They would have to fight and retreat while waiting for reinforcements.

Besides, they did not believe that Zhou You, an apprentice of an apothecary, would be a Bone Forging martial artist.

At most, he had practiced leg techniques and could run a little.

Zhou You stood rooted to the ground as if he had given up.

However, just as the two masked men were a few meters in front of him, Zhou You suddenly panicked and turned to escape.

A masked man subconsciously quickened his pace and grabbed Zhou You’s shoulder.

At this moment, Zhou You suddenly turned around and stomped his feet. He raised his shoulders high and rushed towards the approaching masked man like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain.

“You…”

The masked man reacted quickly and immediately raised his arm to block his chest. At the same time, he retreated repeatedly and joined his companions.

Boom!

At this moment, he heard a familiar sound. His expression immediately changed, and his eyes became terrified.

This sound…

The large tendon was like a bowstring!

The moment it got released, it could cause landslides!

This was a sign that the later stage Body Forging martial artist had reached the Tendon Transformation Stage and his strength had increased greatly!

This apothecary’s disciple in front of him was at least a late-stage Body Forging martial artist!

His strength was not inferior to his!

Fortunately, there was no follow-up after this sound. It was only the later stage of Body Forging.

Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would probably…

Just as the masked man was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. His entire body lightened and he flew backward.

The large tendon was like a bowstring!

After a few days of bitter cultivation, Zhou You finally broke through to the third level of the Ferocious Tiger Fist and officially stepped into the later stage of Body Forging.

He could mobilize the strength of all the large tendons in his body and increase his explosive power greatly.

With the sudden burst of power and the addition of speed from the Gale Phantom Kick, he finally managed to pass through the middle of the masked man’s chest before the masked man’s arms closed.

White Tiger Leaves Cave!

After severely injuring one masked man with a single strike, the attack of the other masked man had already arrived.

Zhou You did not have time to react. He hurriedly activated the Iron Skin Technique with all his might while trying his best to avoid the vital parts of his body.

Bam!

A heavy punch landed on his body. Zhou You felt his entire body tremble, and his chest felt as if it had suffered a heavy blow. It was so heavy that he almost suffocated.

He opened his mouth and took a few quick breaths before turning around and punching.

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of two bowstrings being released sounded almost at the same time.

PAH!

A pair of fists collided fiercely.

Zhou You stood rooted to the ground.

The masked man took a step back unsteadily.

“Hmmm?”

Zhou You’s expression was a little stunned. He did not have time to think. He did not stop and charged forward with his fists.

Pah pah pah pah!

After a series of intense physical collisions, the masked man was sent flying.

Zhou You strode forward and grabbed the masked man’s head with his hands.

Crack!

The masked man died immediately, and his corpse fell to the ground weakly.

At this moment, the other masked man had yet to get up. He was horrified when he saw this scene.

Zhou You stepped forward, and a huge foot landed.

The world fell silent.

Zhou You rubbed his chest hard with both hands and felt much better.

After quickly looting the corpse and thinking for a moment, Zhou You took off the mask and clothes belonging to one of the masked men and hid the corpse in a corner.

He strode down the mountain.

Now that the Plum Mountain Bandits had the upper hand, the disciples of the dojo should be fleeing.

It should be safer for him to change into the Plum Mountain Bandits’ clothes. Even if the Plum Mountain Bandits saw him, they would not pay attention to him.

However, he had to be careful to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Plum Mountain Bandits were to bring him back to their lair, it would be too late for regrets.

Along the way, he looked at the few Plum Mountain Bandits from afar. As expected, no one noticed him.

Zhou You pretended to search as he headed toward Mengyang City.

He began to analyze the previous battle.

Previously, it was hard to say about the two masked men, but in the end, he took a blow head-on. The masked man attacking him should be a late-stage Body Forging martial artist.

However, this late-stage Body Forging cultivator seemed to be much weaker than he had imagined.

The palm strike that struck him earlier was obviously done in a hurry. At most, it was only 500 kilograms of force. After breaking through the defense of the Iron Skin Technique, there was not much left. It did not cause any substantial damage.

After that, he mobilized his large tendons and attacked, but he was also suppressed by Zhou You.

Obviously, the masked man’s strength was inferior to his.

Since the other party’s strength was inferior to his, and their cultivation realms were the same, it was not strange for him to be crushed to death.

Zhou You had such confidence.

Zhou You had not tested his current strength, so he did not know the exact details.

However, when combined with the explosive power of the large tendon, it should be more than 1,500 kilograms.

This strength was incomparable to innate divine strength.

Among the late-stage Body Forging martial artists, it was definitely not weak.
