Chapter 0005 begins with great intensity but later becomes timid

Chen Xuanqiu, with a feminine appearance, would almost be considered a beautiful girl were it not for his pair of strikingly strong eyebrows. However, once he throws a punch, his entire demeanor transforms.

I am someone who is about to enter the world, will doing this lead to being wanted by the authorities

His level of cultivation is still a long way from achieving the Yin Spirit, a distance of one hundred thousand miles. Once the physical body dies, the spirit and soul will naturally disperse

Everyone stared in astonishment at Chen Xuanqiu

Bang

In the valley, several hundred people could only stare in astonishment. When the young man stood there, he exuded a vibrant charm that stirred the hearts of onlookers, causing some men to indulge in wild fantasies. How could it be that when he took action, his momentum was so terrifying?

In kindergarten, he was bitten on his chubby little hand by a girl from the younger class who was two years his junior, and he did not dare to tell his parents. In middle school, he was robbed of his paper by classmates for cheating and did not dare to report it to the teacher. At work, he was exploited by his boss to work overtime without pay and did not dare to speak out. In the eyes of Miss Gong Li, he had lustful thoughts but lacked the courage of a thief. He, who had always been a good boy from childhood to adulthood, was filled with fear.

A gust of wind arrives, stirring the pines.

Suddenly, a hoarse crow's caw echoed through the forest, startling Chen Xuanqiu awake

Li Rong was taken aback, hurriedly forming a strange posture with his left hand making a thunder seal and his right hand performing a sword gesture, urgently reciting: "Ghost cultivator Li Rong has a request, summon the Five Ghosts of Chaos, the first is Bo Kui, the second is ... ... "

Chen Xuanqiu exuded an ethereal grace, resembling a noble young gentleman embarking on a spring outing in the mountains, his demeanor as refined as jade. With one foot stepping forward, he appeared to be enveloped in an aura of immortality; however, that foot rested upon a somewhat flattened and deformed human head, which was rather unsettling

What is even more frightening is that in their eyes, the highly skilled and powerful Master Li is actually so ineffective, being defeated by this young man with just two punches to such an extent

Although there are several hundred people in the valley, it is exceptionally quiet

Yet, although Li Rong is not as capable as they are, the difference is not significant. How could he so easily fall to this person's hands?

There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated. ... Those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be dealt with severely

Several hundred people stood frozen in shock

Chen Xuanqiu cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and sincerely said, "If any officials inquire, I hope the elders will serve as witnesses!"

Chen Xuanqiu's master once told him that all methods in the world, whether martial arts, Taoist practices, sorcery, spells, or talismans, are all about the mobilization and application of force. It is just that everyone has different ways of mobilizing and applying that force

The human skull is remarkably hard; with a single kick, Chen Xuanqiu flattened the copper bell, embedding it deeply into Li Rong's forehead. Li Rong's eyes bulged with rage, and he instantly lost his breath.

His punches are incredibly powerful, unmatched in their ferocity, embodying the utmost yang and intensity, with an unparalleled dominance in their force. His master, renowned in the celestial realm, is also a formidable figure known for his fighting prowess. Even if he is unwilling to impart the secrets of the celestial arts to him, how could his boxing skills possibly be lacking

In Chen Xuanqiu's mind, a line of bright red characters flashed rapidly like an LED sign.

No matter how weak he is, how could he possibly be weaker than this borderland, where one can only bully ordinary mortals? If that were the case, his master could simply go to the Southern Heavenly Gate and crash into the Heavenly Pillar to commit suicide

When using it, recite the incantation to summon the five ghosts, with the chilling winds blowing, one can bind the souls of the living. However, if the skeletons obtained are ordinary and were weak in life, their ghostly forms will also be weak, and you may not even know their names. Therefore, most practitioners of this technique tend to target the living, causing them to suffer a fatal fate, and then refining their souls, which is exceedingly malicious

Bang

I have killed someone

Just as you can lift a stone by hand, use a pulley to hoist it, or leverage a crowbar to pry it up, although the methods differ, the result is the same: applying force to it to lift it off the ground

With just one punch, the paper figure transformed into a little ghost exploded into countless fragments in the sky

Li Rong let out a muffled sound, and blood immediately oozed from the corner of his mouth

I ... ... do you dare ... ...

Bai Taoer and her four fellow disciples stood among the crowd, equally astonished. In fact, it was merely the formidable reputation of Li Rong's sect that caused such amazement; if one were to discuss actual abilities, he might not even compare to Bai Taoer and the others, although the martial arts practiced by these five were not as powerful as those of the Ghost King Sect

Chen Xuanqiu quietly moved his foot away from the flattened head, feeling guilty as he said, "I was just acting in self-defense!"

If this person were a master of extraordinary abilities, it would be understandable, such as that fierce deity who relentlessly pursued them and slaughtered over one hundred of their fellow disciples... But he is merely two punches and a kick, appearing quite ordinary.

He coughed hoarsely and began to remedy the situation: "In fact, I am a reasonable person."

Several hundred people are as dull as a wooden chicken

Li Rong used his mind to control the little ghost, while Chen Xuanqiu shattered the ghostly path with a single punch, doing so with remarkable precision and decisiveness. Li Rong was unable to sever the connection of his mind in time, and the force of the punch injured his spirit.

Li Rong was greatly astonished. With the skills he possessed, how could he possibly draw such a ghostly figure that could manifest in broad daylight? This was a reward he had received from Elder Cheng, whom he had flattered and ingratiated himself with. Today, he had reluctantly brought it out to show off his abilities in front of Bai Tao'er, only to find that it was not even a match for her.

Li Rong summoned only one ghost; not to mention the formation of five ghosts, this single ghost had yet to take shape before it was shattered by a punch from Chen Xuanqiu, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground, momentarily leaving him dazed and seeing stars.

Chen Xuanqiu stood right in front, still as a statue, yet moving like a mad dog. How could there be time for you to calmly display these skills? If the mage allows the warrior to close in, then just wait for death

A malevolent ghostly figure just emerged in front of Li Rong's chest, but before it could solidify, it was shattered by a punch. The force of the punch did not dissipate and struck Li Rong's chest heavily again, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood and tumble backward.

Master Li... just like that, has passed away

With a loud bang, the spirit-recalling banners and paper money scattered all over the ground, causing hundreds of people to flee in panic, dispersing in chaos

Chen Xuanqiu shattered the paper-like ghost with a single punch, his movements not pausing in the slightest. With another punch, he struck directly at Li Rong's chest.

However, when using magical techniques, unless you have reached the state where your thoughts can spontaneously manifest power, no matter whether you are reciting incantations, burning talismans, forming hand seals, arranging formations, or utilizing magical tools, time is required

Just as practitioners of cultivation refine gold, Buddhist sects cultivate relics, and spiritual beasts condense demon pills, the names differ, and the cultivation methods vary. However, in essence, there is not much difference; as the saying goes, all methods return to one. Yet, those who understand this principle of different paths leading to the same destination are few and far between

This is the greatest skill that Li Rong has mastered, known as the "Huntian Wugui Jue". It involves finding a skeleton at the fifth hour of the fifth day of the Kui calendar, writing the deceased's name on the skeleton with cinnabar, and then, on the next Kui day, burning the skeleton. The ashes are then wrapped in talisman paper and offered at the Liu Jia altar, while reciting the "Huntian Incantation". After burning the "Wugui Talisman", it takes a total of forty-nine days to be able to utilize one. To collect all five and form the "Huntian Wugui Jue", this process must be repeated five times. The steps include burning the skeleton, wrapping the ashes in talisman paper, offering them at the Liu Jia altar, reciting the "Huntian Incantation", and then burning the "Wugui Talisman", taking a total of forty-nine days to be able to utilize one. To collect all five and form the "Huntian Wugui Jue", this process must be repeated five times.

Li Ronghun turned his head and took out the Soul Capturing Bell from his bosom. Before he could shake the magical instrument or recite the incantation, he saw a foot growing larger and larger, and with a "puff," the bronze bell was imprinted on his forehead

Although Chen Xuanqiu had heard his master speak of it, he had not truly grasped the underlying principles. Furthermore, during his time on the mountain, he was the weakest among them, and within his remaining modern mindset, he instinctively believed that magical abilities must be superior to martial skills, so how could he not give his all

Chen Xuanqiu's martial arts practice is based on the True Martial Heart Method. His physical training has reached the pinnacle of foundation establishment, with his vital energy and blood flourishing like the midday sun. Such masculine energy inherently suppresses the malevolent spirits and evil forces. When manifested through the True Martial Fist Technique, it appears to ordinary people as exceptionally fierce and unmatched, while in the eyes of the minor spirits, it resembles a flame capable of incinerating souls

Even if you seek help from others, and everyone works together to lift, the outcome still relies on the application of force. However, at this moment, it is about borrowing strength; in the context of spiritual practice, it is about borrowing the Dharma
