Chapter 0009: Pursuit

Sheng Sheng killed Elder Feng, and Xu Yi took the cloth bag from his waist, which contained nothing but more than ten red coins.

Having cultivated martial arts to the pinnacle of body forging, Xu Yi's understanding of the human body's vital energy and blood, muscles and bones, and organs has reached an exceptionally high level

Before Elder Feng's body had even settled, Xu Yi had already caught up, delivering a punch that was more than thirty percent stronger than before, causing the air to ripple as if disturbed by the force.

He is angry, he is mad, he is filled with hatred

In the past, Xu Yi made a living by storytelling, and what he could earn were merely the common copper coins and silver ingots used by ordinary people

A healthy horse is not human, yet during its galloping process, the blood and energy surge, and the bones vibrate, which can be easily interpreted by Xu Yi. When Xu Yi thrusts this sword, it is to awaken the potential of the healthy horse

A prestigious and seasoned master of body forging was utterly powerless against Xu Yi's fist, and was thus struck down without the slightest ability to retaliate

Xu Yi no longer dared to delay, he turned over and mounted the horse, letting the reins fall from his left hand, turning the horse's head, and quickly galloping down the slope

Little did one expect that Xu Yi had already discerned the true and false aspects of the Void Destruction Divine Fist. Elder Feng's blustering punch did not disturb his mind in the slightest

Young Master Zhou, frightened, tightened his lower body and inadvertently let out a few drops of urine. He kicked the horse's belly fiercely and lashed it with all his might, causing the steed to gallop swiftly

The extraordinary sword was not to be underestimated. Xu Yi effortlessly strapped it to his waist and turned to leave the forest, swiftly making his way back to the battlefield. Upon nearing the site, there was no trace of Young Master Zhou to be found. He climbed to a high point and looked around; to the northwest, a lone rider was heading north, the steed galloping like the wind.

As Elder Feng moved, he also took action

In the carriage, Xu Yi thrust his narrow sword sharply into the lower right third of the carotid artery of the strong horse. No blood flowed out, yet the horse seemed to be invigorated, its speed suddenly doubling, racing like the wind.

Xu Yi did not evade; under the high speed, his gaze was sharp, and his fist brushed past the edge of the sword, striking with a bang at the position of Elder Feng's left shoulder

After playing with it for a long time, Xu Yi reluctantly stuffed the coins into the cloth bag, tightly secured it around his waist, and then picked up the narrow sword that had fallen to the side. With all his strength, he bent it, and the blade curved into an arc, surprisingly not breaking.

At this thought, Young Master Zhou was even more terrified. Not only did he frantically wield the riding whip, but he also kicked fiercely at the horse's belly with both feet. The white horse, in pain, indeed increased its speed by another notch.

Although Elder Feng barely evaded this heavy blow, he has fully realized the seriousness of the situation. In terms of speed, no matter how he tries to escape, it is inevitable that he will be pursued.

Xu Yi rose to his full height, while Elder Feng's head was already deeply buried in the depths of the mud pit, his entire body bleeding profusely, with not a single sound remaining

With the strength of one and a half bulls, an astonishing power erupted, causing Elder Feng's body to smash through two thick wooden beams and fall to the ground. As he attempted to rise with a flip like a carp, Xu Yi, like a wisp of smoke, charged in again. His large foot, like a ship, came crashing down, striking directly at Elder Feng's face, forcefully pinning him to the ground

Who would have thought that this insignificant creature would suddenly show its claws against Young Master Zhou, daring to tear off one of its own arms? This grudge shall not go unavenged, I swear I will not be human again.

Just as he was about to land a decisive blow, the elder Feng unexpectedly contracted his body in mid-air like a spring, causing Xu Yi's punch to miss entirely. Nevertheless, the powerful force of the punch swept across his resilient skin, resulting in a pain akin to being cut by a knife.

Consider him, the illustrious Young Master Zhou, a scion of nobility, unparalleled in his grandeur. What is Xu Yi in comparison, a foolish insect akin to an ant? Allowing him to live merely serves to leave the Xu family with a jester, a figure to thoroughly disgrace the faces of those deceased members of the Xu family.

The wind howled fiercely, the sun blazed like fire, and Young Master Zhou tightly clamped his legs around the belly of the horse. A whip lashed out with the urgency of a tempest, and the white steed beneath him was already stained a deep crimson.

Another category is the currency among martial arts practitioners, which is also the primary currency of the ruling class, namely the red gold coins, or the ingots and gold cakes forged from red gold

Now, with these more than ten gold coins in hand, the joy it brings him is indescribable

Xu Yi took a gold coin, blew on it near his mouth, and then turned his hand to place it by his ear. Immediately, a sound akin to a gentle chant arose.

The red gold coin, Xu Yi had long heard of it

The white horse did not leap far before a loud crash was heard, and Xu Yi fell off the horse onto the ground. Young Master Zhou turned his head to look back, laughed heartily towards the sky, and pointed at Xu Yi, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Wait for me to skin you, pull out your tendons, and dismantle your bones!"

According to his knowledge, there are two types of money in the world today. One type is commonly used by ordinary people in their daily lives, which is precisely the copper coins and silver pieces that Xu Yi can earn while telling stories.

In an instant, all the wildness and malice in his heart vanished, leaving only a profound sense of fear, causing him to tremble uncontrollably: "Even Elder Feng could not keep this fellow!"

Xu Yi struck decisively, showing no mercy, delivering punch after punch, his fists falling like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms, leaving Elder Feng no room to catch his breath at all

Watching the fleeing figure of Young Master Zhou, Xu Yi's eyes once again filled with blood, as he searched the forest with his gaze. More than ten zhang to the west, there was indeed a commotion, and a strong chestnut horse emerged from the woods in an instant.

In a moment of excitement, Young Master Zhou's face was flushed with joy, and facing the vast sky, he could not help but let out a long howl.

Although it was the first attempt, there were already valleys and hills in my heart. With a single sword thrust, the effect was indeed astonishing

After removing the five hundred pounds of iron, his body seemed like a wisp of light smoke, arriving ahead of others.

On Xu Yibing's long-frozen face, signs of thawing have finally appeared

He never expected that, in his desperate sprint, he had unknowingly been pursued by Xu Yi to a distance of two miles away

Due to the inability to obtain the red gold coins, Xu Yi is fundamentally unable to acquire the precious medicinal materials that can only be traded with red gold. At most, he can only purchase some inferior oolong grass that can be easily gathered by the local villagers to replenish his stamina

Even though Elder Rao has reached the pinnacle of body refinement, with skin as tough as cowhide and bones as hard as iron, under the frenzied attacks of Xu Yi, even an iron ball would be crushed.

Given the circumstances, Elder Feng could no longer concern himself with Young Master Zhou. Unable to capture Xu Yi, returning to the Zhou family would undoubtedly lead to a dire outcome, so he simply chose to leave without further ado

Upon this thought, the blood courage and the spirit of a lone wolf deep within the old man of the wind were unexpectedly stirred. A soft sound echoed in the air, and when it landed, a narrow sword measuring three feet in length appeared in his left hand, directly striking the fist that Xu Yi had thrown.

As the howling sound lingered, the sudden clatter of hooves reached his ears. Young Master Zhou turned around to look into the distance, startled to the point of nearly falling off his horse.

Once the clown is captured, he will undoubtedly experience every form of torture known to man, making this insignificant creature regret ever crawling out of its mother's womb

Before the words had left his mouth, Xu Yi's feet seemed to move like lightning, quickly tapping on the ground. With just a few leaps, he had dashed out thirty zhang away.

Initially, Elder Feng could still emit moans and groans, but as time passed, Elder Feng became like a broken sack, unable to produce any sound. In an instant, a pit, deep enough to accommodate half a person, was smashed into the ground by Xu Yi's iron fists.

Previously, Young Master Zhou and his party brought over ten horses. After a chaotic battle, only a few were injured or killed. Young Master Zhou rode away on one horse, and the remaining horses disappeared without a trace. Xu Yi then guessed that Young Master Zhou had driven the remaining horses into the forest. After a thorough search, he indeed found one horse.
