Chapter 3, The Great Roc Fist (Part 2)

His realm and martial arts are superior to his opponent's, yet he still ended up losing to him. What on earth is going on! He cannot understand it, no matter how hard he tries; he simply cannot comprehend how that kid managed to do it!

Most of the people in Nanlin Village have the surname Lin, with only a few having different surnames. Xu Bo is the only person in the village with the surname Xu; however, having lived in the village for many years, he has gained considerable respect.

With this fall, he felt as if his internal organs had been jolted out of place. The sternum in front of him was also broken in that collision, and waves of sharp pain continuously surged through his body

In an instant, a piercing pain penetrated the other party's body, and at the same time, a tremendous force struck. Caught off guard, the man was suddenly sent flying as if struck by an iron rod, crashing heavily to the ground at a distance

At the same time, he discovered something: after he pried open the crevice, the celestial energy that flowed out was only a small portion; more celestial energy still needed to be actively absorbed by himself.

There is also one's own aura

Lin Yiming finally saw hope, frantically channeling the spiritual energy within him, as the small knife in his hand gradually moved downward, until he could no longer draw it any further

A crack once again opened in the air before Lin Yiming, and celestial energy slowly flowed out from this gap

Lin Yiming looked at the three people writhing in pain on the ground, feeling somewhat dizzy in his heart, surprised at how powerful he actually was

Lin Yiming was deep in thought when, in front of him, the three people on the ground suddenly began to shout

"Shh..."

"You country bumpkin, how dare you injure us? Do you know who we are!" A mid-stage Lingyin martial artist, enduring the excruciating pain of broken bones, threatened, "Let me tell you, we are members of the Sangshan Gang. You have provoked us, so just wait for your demise!"

Perhaps in the future, when my abilities have improved, I will be able to cut through the air more times. However, for now, that is not possible

Then, by the next day, one can continue to navigate to https://m.hetushu.com.

His massive body, due to inertia, flew out a distance of five or six meters in mid-air before finally descending, and then slid for another three or four meters before coming to a stop

The small knife moved through the air, yet it seemed to be trapped in steel; this time, the small knife could not advance even a fraction.

The three martial artists lying on the ground were all taken aback, and it was not just them; several old farmers nearby were also stunned

Oh, so this is the kind of gang it is. Lin Yiming laughed at once; aren't they just a bunch of rascals? Back on Earth before his transmigration, they wouldn't even qualify as part of the underworld, and they are even worse than those petty thugs. At least those thugs have a venue to show off, while they have nothing at all.

Having resolved the troubles of the three individuals, Lin Yiming returned to his home and once again took out the mysterious small knife. Ever since arriving in this world, he had always aspired to become a true powerhouse. Previously, he had been unable to channel energy and thus missed the opportunity. Now that he could channel energy, he naturally intended to seize every moment to cultivate.

Not only did Lin Yiming become a martial artist, but he also defeated three of his opponents who were martial artists

The only way is to confine them.

Suddenly, a tremendous force surged from directly in front of his chest, as if a massive iron hammer had fallen, instantly propelling him away with great power

As for letting these three individuals go, that is even more impossible. If we let them go, they will come back with others to cause trouble

The martial artist in the middle stage of the Spirit Guidance looked at Lin Yiming in silence, thinking that Lin Yiming was afraid. He immediately spoke up: "Now you understand the power of our Sangshan Gang, right? Let me tell you, the two hundred taels of silver you stole from us is not our own money; it belongs to our gang. You have taken our gang's money, and we will not let you go. Hand over the money obediently, and give the gentlemen a few hundred taels more, then the gentlemen will not hold it against you. Otherwise, you and your village can just wait to be wiped out!"

Lin Yiming held a small knife and made a downward slash in the air before him, only to be astonished to find that his knife could not advance even a little. The knife seemed to be stuck in a hard stone, and no matter how much force he exerted, it was difficult to move even a fraction.

Indeed, heaven particularly favors good people; good people are rewarded.

What is going on here? How did I get knocked away? And that guy, when he attacked, why did it feel like the compression of his spiritual energy was even tighter than my own?

The Sangshan Gang is an association formed by several martial artists from our village, consisting of more than ten members, all of whom are martial artists. They usually roam around the village, engaging in petty thefts and robbing people's wealth.

Lin Yiming turned around to look at an old farmer behind him and suddenly asked, "Uncle Xu, are there still any empty cellars in our village for storing radishes and cabbages?"

Lin Yiming began to understand that he could only cut through the air three times a day, after which he would no longer be able to do so

"Locking him in the cellar? Isn't that inappropriate?" Old Uncle Xu hesitated for a moment.

He has not yet figured out this issue. Lin Yiming, who was leaning against him with his back, suddenly shook his entire back and leaned heavily backward.

"There is nothing wrong with this; it is the best course of action," Lin Yiming said in a deep voice. "We cannot kill them, but we also cannot let them go. If we release them, they will only return with more people to cause trouble in our village. The best solution is to lock them up!"

Lin Yiming shook his head, looking at this martial artist, feeling curious in his heart. Is this guy's mind alright? Even after being defeated by me, he is still so arrogant. He even dares to massacre my village? Not to mention whether they would dare to do such a thing within the Great Peng Dynasty. Even if they did dare, do they have the strength to do it?

Celestial energy! I can actually absorb celestial energy again

It is quite rigid; it does not interact with the book. As long as it can be moved, that is sufficient

In just a quarter of an hour, all the celestial energy had been completely refined by him. After performing a set of the Great Peng Fist technique once more, he took out a small knife again, channeling the spiritual energy within his body, and slashed down at the air in front of him.

It was not until the morning of the next day that he once again cut through the air

Finally, when Lin Yiming completely exhausted the spiritual energy within him, he still could not carve even the slightest opening in the sky

Although I am merely at the initial stage of Spirit Guidance, I was able to easily grasp the arm of that mid-stage Spirit Guidance warrior during our recent encounter. In comparison to the purity of the spiritual energy within my body, my spiritual energy is evidently more refined.

Soon, under the leadership of Elder Xu, everyone confined the three injured individuals into the cellar

Lin Yiming was filled with panic. If it were the latter, it would be acceptable, but what if it were the former? Wouldn't that mean he would never be able to cultivate again in the future

Lying on his bed in his room, Lin Yiming had a restless night. Just as he was dozing off in a daze, the roosters in the village began to crow, signaling the arrival of dawn

On the other side, seeing their companion being knocked down, the other two were momentarily stunned. If they were not mistaken, the country bumpkin was using the Farmer's Fist. How could someone using the Farmer's Fist possibly defeat the youngest? This country bumpkin truly did not know what kind of luck he had stumbled upon

Lin Yiming observed the movements of the two individuals, and without a moment's hesitation, he instinctively stepped forward, raised his hand, and immediately and precisely grasped the arm of the mid-stage martial artist opposite him. He then spun his body, leaning back against the opponent's chest.

This was my first encounter with a true martial artist. I managed to defeat all three opponents in a single exchange. Their so-called basic martial skills felt vastly inferior compared to my farmer's fist.

Lin Yiming, undeterred by superstition, continued to paddle. However, this time, no matter how hard he tried, the small knife could not advance an inch.

After a moment of surprise, the two individuals simultaneously launched their attacks, advancing towards Lin Yiming from two directions.

In the early morning, Lin Yiming once again used the small knife in his hand to cut through the air three times, absorbing the celestial energy three times. However, on the fourth attempt, he still could not cut through the air any longer

How could this be? Why can't it be cut open? Is it that this small knife can only be used to cut three times, and then it can no longer be used? Or is it that my strength is insufficient, so I can only cut three times, and that I will be able to cut more times once my strength is sufficient?

In the next moment, a miracle occurs

Lin Yiming discreetly stowed away the small knife and began to absorb and refine the celestial energy that leaked from the gaps

He cannot understand why, as a mid-stage Spirit Guide martial artist, using the basic boxing techniques learned from the martial arts school, and attacking the opponent together with his companions, he is still at a disadvantage against an opponent who is merely at the early stage of Spirit Guide and is using the common Farmer's Fist that everyone knows

These three individuals cannot be killed, nor can they be released

However, how to deal with these three individuals is indeed a problem

What is going on? How can this guy possess such immense strength! The martial artist at the mid-stage of Spirit Guidance was taken aback as he saw his arm being grasped by the opponent. He was indeed at the mid-stage of Spirit Guidance and had exerted all his strength this time, yet his arm was still caught by the other party. How is this possible!

"The cellar? Of course it is empty." Uncle Xu replied without a moment's hesitation.

"Sangshan Gang, what kind of gang is this?" Lin Yiming turned back with some curiosity, looking at the old farmer beside him. In the six months since his return, he had indeed not heard of this gang's name.

A three-inch long gap, if I continue to draw, the ethereal energy will dissipate. It is better to absorb it first; refining it later after absorption will yield the same result.

Lin Yiming was awakened by the crowing of a rooster. He sat up in bed and, at the first moment, took out the small knife he kept close to him, then made a swift slash in the air before him

Lin Yiming felt a surge of joy in his heart, quickly sitting up and beginning to absorb the celestial energy, followed by practicing his martial arts.

Lin Yiming swiftly knocked one person away, his hands and movements on the book remaining uninterrupted. In the moment of his body spinning, his elbow swung out; as his elbow moved, it resembled a sharp dagger piercing through, striking another person squarely in the chest.

Old man Xu pondered for a moment upon hearing the words, and finally nodded: "Yes, lock them up; it is best to confine them."

Lin Yiming urged the spiritual energy within his dantian, and in an instant, the energy surged into his arm, causing the arm gripping the small knife to slice down forcefully.

I do not know when I will be able to open the fourth gap; that way, my cultivation speed will also increase. I have only been cultivating for four days and have already reached the later stage of Spirit Induction. This is only with the ability to open three gaps. If I could open four gaps, how much faster would my cultivation speed be

If a martial artist in the mid-stage of Spirit Guidance can be so easily defeated, then what about the late stage of Spirit Guidance? Can they still resist? After all, they are absorbing the spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm.

How did Lin Yiming become so powerful? Wasn't he expelled from the sect because he couldn't become a martial artist? ... How ...? ... How did Lin Yiming become a martial artist again?

Youngest!

That sounds great, let's put them in the cellar of their pipeline

The small knife glided through the sky, producing a soft sound, yet this knife had only advanced slightly forward.

Although my village is not a large one, it still has over a hundred households. If it weren't for the villagers going up the mountain to gather herbs today, would the three of them dare to step into the village?

The laws of the Dapeng Dynasty are quite strict. Before one has achieved any official title, killing these three individuals would lead to significant trouble if discovered, potentially implicating the entire village.

He was defeated, surprisingly, by someone of a lower realm than himself, using the common Farmer's Fist, and he was defeated while simultaneously defeating his companion

Spiritual energy... By the way, I now have spiritual energy, so let me give it a try.

The purer the spiritual energy, the greater the force generated during the process of cultivation.
