Chapter 6: Initial Victory

Who said that Wu Sijiang was killed by you? You are merely a down-and-out scholar; how could you possibly kill a master like Wu Sijiang?

With one hand like an axe and the other like a hammer, he cleaved and smashed with unmatched ferocity, treating Wu Sijiang as if it were a stone tablet, splitting and shattering it

Sister, what if I cannot defeat my opponent?" Jiangnan suddenly thought of a crucial point and hurriedly asked.

The strike from Jiangnan finally descended, as if a great axe had cleaved down upon Wu Sijiang's shoulder, severing his entire arm. Immediately, the technique shifted, transforming into the Jiangyue Breaking Waves Technique

This fellow fights recklessly, he is simply a madman

Jiang Xue approached silently and stood quietly beside him, softly saying: "Zichuan, how does this battle taste?"

Jiangnan furrowed his brow slightly; Jiang Xue's words were indeed reasonable. However, he still felt a sense of unease in his heart

Jiangnan's cold smile was utterly uncharacteristic of a boy aged around fourteen or fifteen; he was terrifyingly calm. With his hands moving in grand gestures, he struck down with such force that he actually cleaved through Wu Sijiang's blood-soaked defense, shattering it completely.

Jiangnan pondered for a moment, reflecting on his fighting spirit, and immediately recognized various mistakes he had made in this battle, revealing a look of shame: "My practical combat experience is too limited, to the extent that I fell into a passive position as soon as I engaged. If my practical combat experience were as rich as Wu Sijiang's, I wouldn't have needed to get injured at all, nor would I have to fight for such a long time; just a few moves would suffice to determine the outcome."

After a moment, he finally managed to suppress his injuries, and only then did he let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the wounds on his body still throbbed painfully.

Wu Sijiang was filled with shock and anger; the intensity of the true energy in Jiangnan exceeded his expectations, being four to five times stronger than that of individuals at the same cultivation level. Even among the Qi family disciples who practiced the same "Breaking Waves Technique" as Jiang Yue, their true energy was far less robust than his at the same level.

The Blood Transformation Divine Skill of Wu Sijiang is also a commendable technique. I wonder if the Demonic Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture can derive this technique...

Jiang Nan was astonished; his will was incredibly resilient. How could Jiang Xue say that he lacked the spirit of martial arts?

Moreover, being preoccupied with cultivation and encountering the matter of Wu Sijiang, I actually forgot to have breakfast and prepare lunch. Now that I suddenly remember, I can't help but feel extremely hungry

He felt a sense of fear in his heart in the face of the relentless onslaught from Jiangnan

Wu Sijiang's body fell with a thud into the Yangchuan River, where it was swept away and devoured by the water, disappearing from sight

Jiangnan looked up at the sky, his expression slightly changed. He hurriedly turned around, picked up the fox demon, and left. It was already close to noon, and he had long delayed the time to go to the Qi Wangfu to attend to his duties.

This is still Jiangnan's first encounter with an opponent. If he were seasoned in battle and had control over his true energy as strong as Wu Sijiang's, this move would definitely be able to severely injure Wu Sijiang

He hurried back to the slum, settled Jiang Xue down, and was just about to head to the inner court of the Qi Wangfu when suddenly a loud voice came from outside, calling out: "Zichuan, are you still alive?"

Zichuan, the spirit of martial arts is not merely a resilient heart, but a belief.

Wu Sijiang could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with immense shock. He hurriedly unleashed the Blood Transformation Divine Skill, striking out seven palms in quick succession. All seven palms landed squarely on Jiang Nan's chest, sending the young man flying several zhang away.

Wu Sijiang was extremely furious. Just a short while ago, he was in the dominant position, suppressing Jiangnan as a cat plays with a mouse. However, in this brief period, the situation of offense and defense had completely reversed, and Jiangnan unexpectedly seized the entire initiative, pressing him down instead.

Just now, she was merely a spectator; even when Jiangnan was in danger, she did not intervene to help

Jiangnan is utterly speechless: "My sister is definitely a seductress! However, what she says is also quite right; only the weak will attempt to reason, while the strong will simply strike with a punch"

Blood spurted from Jiangnan's mouth, and as he was suspended in mid-air, his body suddenly straightened, resembling a nail that fell from the sky, firmly embedding itself in the ground. In an instant, his figure flickered, moving like a weasel, and in the blink of an eye, he charged towards Wu Sijiang. The techniques of his hands abruptly changed, surprisingly abandoning the exquisite skill of Jiangyue Breaking Waves and instead employing the martial art of Hunyuan Kaibei.

He chuckled and pushed the door open, entering with a bamboo basket in hand, from which wafted the delicious aroma of food. He said, "I originally planned to come over early to collect your body, but my mother said I was talking nonsense and spouting rubbish. She said you are living in hardship, most likely faint from hunger, and lack the strength to work, so she asked me to bring you some food. I haven't had lunch either, so I brought a little extra. By the way, where is that fox you are raising... Oh? Who is this young lady?"

Upon landing in Jiangnan, I stumbled slightly, my footing unsteady, and blood began to seep from the corner of my mouth. I quickly took a deep breath, channeling my internal energy to suppress the injury.

His palm flew up, and in an instant, he unleashed dozens of palm strikes. The force of the strikes connected, transforming into a blood-soaked curtain measuring several feet in both length and width, exuding a strong scent of blood

The door creaked open, and Tie Zhu's large head poked through the gap, looking around. Once he spotted Jiang Nan, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, I noticed you didn't go to the Wangfu to work or to study this morning. I thought you might have met with misfortune and been eaten by a vixen or some other beast."

How fortunate it is that, were it not for the boundless mysteries of the Demonic Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture, I would not stand a chance against Wu Sijiang

The fox-tailed figure of Jiang Xue swayed gently and said: "This belief is that for problems that can be resolved with a fist, one should never waste breath discussing them, as reasoning with the other party will never solve the issue! Since it is clear that a peaceful resolution is impossible, one should strike directly until the opponent is defeated, leaving them no opportunity whatsoever"

Meanwhile, Jiangnan leaped forward, still closely following Wu Sijiang. His palm was like an axe, striking down with a single blow. The force of his palm was like a knife; even before his hand descended, the fierce wind had already sliced through Wu Sijiang's clothing, leaving a blood mark on his fair skin

Jiangnan suddenly realized that his thinking was gradually changing, severely influenced by this cheap sister, and he was becoming increasingly prone to violence

Jiang Xue's charming eyes curved like a crescent moon as she smiled and said: "Zichuan, you are still weak now. If you were to flee, the Qi Wangfu would instead learn that Wu Sijiang died at your hands. Where could you escape to? Can you evade the pursuit of the masters from Qi Wangfu?"

He, a seasoned veteran of combat, actually fears Jiangnan, this novice who has just emerged from obscurity. Such a situation is something he himself is reluctant to believe.

He secretly thought it was a stroke of luck; the Blood Transformation Divine Art was indeed domineering. Had it not been for his cultivation of the Demonic Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture, which greatly surpassed the quality of the Blood Transformation Divine Art, he would have likely been rendered powerless by Wu Sijiang as soon as he made a move

Before his words could finish, Jiang Nan had already rushed over, like a shadow closely following him, with less than three feet between them. A punch, like a hammer, struck his chest, and the sound of bones cracking echoed. Wu Sijiang let out a miserable scream, his body soaring high into the air before falling backward.

Sister, I have killed Wu Sijiang. The Qi Wangfu can no longer stay here. Since they have not discovered it yet, we should escape immediately!

Wu Sijiang's corpulent body swayed as he swiftly retreated like a raccoon, lightly pushing off with his toes to back away over a zhang, rapidly heading towards the Qi Wang Mansion. He shouted sternly: "Jiang Zichuan, you are doomed. I shall return to report to the inner court that you have secretly learned..."

Speaking of which, Jiangnan has suffered more than ten strikes from the Blood Transformation Divine Skill, resulting in even more severe injuries. He is relying solely on his true energy to suppress the injuries. Logically, it should be Jiangnan who is afraid, yet the situation has unexpectedly reversed!

Wu Sijiang, you intend to kill me to silence me after obtaining the Jiangyue Breaking Waves Technique, little do you know that I also plan to kill you to silence you

Jiang Nan felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly turned his head to look. He saw Jiang Xue had transformed from a fox demon into a human, standing gracefully beside him. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled, saying: "Zhuzi, this is my sister Jiang Xue. I got separated from her while fleeing, and we only met again yesterday, which is why I didn't go to the Qi King's residence to work."

Blood-Handed Grand Finale

Indeed, the Blood Transformation Divine Skill is also an excellent martial art, not inferior to the Primordial Opening Stone Hand. It is likely that Wu Sijiang has rendered meritorious service to the Qi Wangfu, which is why this skill was bestowed upon him... Oh no!

He felt a subtle movement in his heart, closed his eyes, and focused his mind. Gradually, the operation path of the Blood Transformation Divine Art began to emerge above the black magic clock. After a moment, a glint of brilliance flashed in Jiangnan's eyes, his vital energy sank, and he channeled it into his palms, which immediately turned blood red

Tie Zhu's gaze suddenly became vacant, fixated on Jiang Nan's side, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The bright moon hangs in the vast sky

However, Sister Jiang Xue is indeed not wrong; Wu Sijiang is clearly intent on putting me to death. Engaging in conversation with him is indeed a waste of breath. It is better not to waste words with him and to directly beat him to death with a flurry of punches

Fox spirit

This is the most powerful move in the Blood Transformation Divine Skill, now being reenacted in his hands. If Wu Sijiang were still alive, he would surely be shocked into jumping up, for the Blood Hand Curtain of Jiangnan's envoy is even more exquisite, more bizarre, and more domineering than his original version

Jiangnan was taken aback; it was the first time he realized that his sister could be so violent

The external office is not solely managed by Wu Sijiang; since I did not go to work this morning, I fear those in charge will start to speak in a strange manner and deduct my wages

The bright moon over Jiangnan illuminated the great river; this move had just been executed, and the true energy suddenly transformed, becoming the move "Great River Accompanied by Tides." The true energy surged like the mighty waves of the Yangtze River, one wave following another, each wave overwhelming the last, tumultuous and surging, rushing into Wu Sijiang's body, instantly inflicting severe damage to his internal organs.

The great river accompanies the rising tide

It can be said that the intensity of the true energy in Jiangnan is almost comparable to that of masters in Qi refining such as Wu Sijiang

In Jiangnan, a powerful strike was unleashed, the true energy soaring like the bright moon, sending Wu Sijiang flying and hanging in mid-air. The force contained in this strike erupted and blossomed, instantly shattering his bones and internal organs.

Or it can be said that he originally had a tendency to glorify violence, which was merely suppressed by traditional moral values, and Jiang Xue simply helped him to release this violent inclination

How is his vital energy so strong

Jiang Xue nodded and smiled, saying: "Apart from this, you also lack the determination for martial arts."

He had become accustomed to life and death on the road of escape, and although he personally shot Wu Sijiang, he still bore little psychological burden in his heart

Jiang Xue's charming eyes resembled a crescent moon, clearly smiling and appearing quite cunning: "If one cannot defeat the opponent, then it is a problem that cannot be resolved with fists, and naturally, one must reason with the other party."
