"Qin Ming, what do you mean by that? I already said that I didn't open the city gates because I thought you were possessed by Demon!"

Seeing that he had a group of the Bone Refining Realm experts backing him up, Yu Qing straightened his back again.

"Qin Ming, I am an official appointed by the imperial court. What, do you dare to lay a hand on me?"

Yu Qing sneered.

You think I wouldn't dare?

Qin Ming approached Yu Qing step by step, "First you refused to open the city gates, then you shot arrows and poured oil to cut off my escape route. Do you think you can just let it go like this?"

"Enough, Qin Ming, don't push your luck!"

A middle-aged man with one eye stepped forward and blocked Qin Ming's path.

And who are you?

"Leader of the Wild Wolf Gang."

Qin Ming smiled.

What a small world!

Too lazy to waste words, Qin Ming casually struck out with his palm, and the scorching Fire Poison instantly covered his palm.

On the surface, this palm strike appeared unremarkable, but in reality, all the Fire Poison were contained within.

"Fire Sand Palm?"

A fierce glint flashed across the Wild Wolf Gang leader's brows. Qin Ming dared to insult him with the Fire Sand Palm he had secretly learned!

He had long heard that Qin Ming had mastered the Fire Sand Palm to the Perfection Realm, and he wanted to see just how powerful the Fire Sand Palm he had secretly learned was!

"Fine, I'll show you what the real Fire Sand Palm is all about!"

He suddenly clasped his hands together, and when he separated them, his palms were bright red, and the radiating heat caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

Driven by the power of the mid-stage Bone Refining Realm, the Fire Sand Palm's power made even the most skilled opponents take notice.

Fire Sand Palm is, after all, a martial art passed down within the Wild Wolf Gang. Even if it is not as famous as the Zheng Family Eagle Claw Skill, its power should not be underestimated, especially its Fire Poison damage, which makes many people wary.

Yu Qing grinned.

He achieved his goal.

As long as someone makes a move, Qin Ming, despite his lucky escape, is certainly no match for someone at the Bone Refining Realm!

The next moment, their palms collided with a loud crash.

The Wild Wolf Gang leader, who had been relaxed, suddenly changed his expression. He felt as if his palms were being slammed into molten lava, and an indescribable burning pain and Fire Poison gushed out from Qin Ming's palms.

This power... no!

The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang let out a scream as he was sent flying several meters away, cracking the floor beneath him. His hands turned purplish-black, and his arms looked as if they had been dyed.

"This is Fire Poison! There's such a potent Fire Poison!"

Everyone was taken aback.

The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, a powerful expert at the Bone Refining Realm, was actually beaten so badly by someone using his own gang's martial arts. It's utterly ridiculous!

What surprised everyone even more was Qin Ming's strength.

Could it be that he has already broken through to the Bone Refining Realm?

"Junior Brother, he..."

Lu Liu took a deep breath, hardly believing what he was seeing.

Even Xiong San was startled.

He clearly remembered that Qin Ming had only obtained the "Fire Poison Art" a few days ago, so how could he have mastered it to such a profound level?

He's broken through to the Flesh Refining Realm!

Pei Heng has a sharp eye.

Even if one breaks through to the Flesh Refining Realm, surely one cannot severely injure Bone Refining Realm expert with a single palm strike?

If Qin Ming hadn't remained calm, Pei Heng would have suspected that Qin Ming was possessed by Ghost Monster.

"This kid's gone mad! Stop him! Whoever stops him, I'll be the first to take him away when the people from Wangjing Prefecture arrive."

Yu Qing cried out in alarm, fearing that Qin Ming would strike him with a palm.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men, and yet another burly man stepped forward.

"Boy, I heard you stole some martial arts from my Savage Tiger Gang. Where did you learn them?!"

Qin Ming glanced sideways.

"I killed the Tiger Martial Arts Academy in Qingshan Town."

"Court death!"

The burly man suddenly flew into a rage and unleashed a fierce Tiger Fist aimed at Qin Ming's face.

Tiger Descends the Mountain!

With a single punch, a terrifying gust of wind swept in all directions, causing Qin Ming's clothes to flutter wildly.

"This is called Tiger Fist?"

Qin Ming chuckled, his fist flashing as he unleashed his power, transforming his blade into a fist. With this punch, a massive black tiger phantom suddenly materialized behind him, roaring out.

The first move of the Black Tiger Life-Severing Blade: Black Tiger Splits the Mountain.

"Roar!"

The black tiger roared to the sky, and the next moment, the sound of bones cracking rang out.

Qin Ming's punch shattered the opponent's fist bones, turning his forearm bones into powder as well.

The burly man's eyes widened in fury as he was struck squarely in the shoulder, his body trembling violently. He was sent flying off the city wall, his fate unknown.

The entire room fell silent.

Qin Ming brushed the bloodstains off his sleeves, his expression calm.

Who else?

No one spoke.

Yu Qing's legs were so weak with fear that he could only rely on the support of those around him.

Brother Zheng...

Yu Qing looked at a middle-aged man with a refined appearance.

He is Zheng Xiong, the head of the Zheng Family. His Eagle Claw Skill is renowned in Qingyang City, and his strength ranks among the top in the Qingyang City.

It seems that only Zheng Xiong can subdue Qin Ming now.

Xiong San's expression changed. He knew Zheng Xiong's strength very well. Once the Eagle Claw Hand was used, even he had to be cautious. Xiong San was not confident that he was a match for Zheng Xiong!

Zheng Xiong didn't say anything and walked out from the crowd.

"Qin Ming, be careful! He's the head of the Zheng Family in the city, and he practices the Eagle Claw Hand!"

Xiong San immediately spoke up to remind him.

Qin Ming nodded slightly, looking at Zheng Xiong in front of him, his eyes still calm, "You want to stop me?"

Leave now, and I might spare your life.

Zheng Xiong said calmly.

Although Qin Ming was strong, Zheng Xiong did not take him seriously.

When he unleashes his Eagle Claw Hand, few of his peers can rival him.

Qin Ming smiled.

"Make your move, let me see how well you've mastered your Eagle Claw Hand technique."

"Arrogant!"

Zheng Xiong was so angry he laughed. This mere brat dared to instruct him on how to practice Eagle Claw Skill?

"Fine, then let this country bumpkin, a pig butcher, witness the power of the Zheng Family arts!"

Zheng Xiong learned from others that Qin Ming was a butcher by trade and scoffed at his background. He was now determined to teach Qin Ming a bloody lesson.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xiong raised his hand and reached out to grab Qin Ming. Before he even got close to Qin Ming, he felt a chilling aura. Then Zheng Xiong descended from the sky, his claws flashing with cold light, and like an eagle swooping down on its prey, he grabbed at Qin Ming's head. Once he caught Qin Ming, he would surely shatter his skull and splatter his brains.

"You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me with a mere Eagle Claw Skill at the Greater Mastery Perfection stage?"

Qin Ming's lips slowly curled up; with just one glance, he saw through Zheng Xiong's reliance.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures couldn't help but sneer.

The Eagle Claw Skill Fu is extremely difficult to master, far surpassing ordinary martial arts techniques. Reaching the pinnacle of Eagle Claw Skill is far more challenging than achieving Perfection Realm in Greater Mastery martial arts. Qin Ming's words undoubtedly drew ridicule from the crowd.

Just as Zheng Xiong's claw was about to strike his face, Qin Ming suddenly flicked his sleeves, turning his palm into a claw. Under Zheng Xiong's incredulous gaze, he unleashed the Zheng Family's ultimate technique, Eagle Claw Skill. His movements were more fluid and his aura even more ferocious than Zheng Xiong's!

Qin Ming retaliated with his claws, instantly interlocking his fingers with Zheng Xiong's. The next moment, Qin Ming exerted force with both arms, channeling his strength into his eagle claws.

With the combined power of the three Perfection Realm of Horizontal Training Martial Arts, Qin Ming's arms suddenly swelled several times, his muscles bulging high, and then he exerted a sudden force.

Click--

Zheng Xiong's hands were instantly crushed into a pulp.

"Ah!!"

Zheng Xiong let out a miserable scream, his Qi and Blood and qi gushing out and turning into a blood-red wave that was about to blast Qin Ming away.

Qin Ming turned around and delivered a spinning kick that struck Zheng Xiong squarely in the chest, sending him flying several meters and severely injuring him on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the Zheng Family patriarch's hands were crippled, and his Eagle Claw Skill, which he had painstakingly practiced for many years, was rendered useless.

"When did my junior Junior Brother learn Eagle Claw Skill?"

Lu Liu, Ye Wei, and the others were all stunned.

They haven't been in Qingyang County for very long, so when did Qin Ming learn Eagle Claw Skill? And how come its power surpasses that of the Zheng Family patriarch!

The Fire Sand Palm severely injured the Wild Wolf Gang leader, the Tiger Fist defeated the Black Tiger Gang leader, and the Eagle Claw Skill crippled the Zheng Family head. Qin Ming actually defeated them one after another using the enemy's inherited martial arts, which was even more painful than killing them.

This also left all the onlookers completely baffled.

After witnessing Qin Ming's terrifying strength, no one dared to step forward again.

Seeing this, Yu Qing felt a chill run through his body. The people who had been gathered around him had vanished without a trace, and even the constables had kept their distance, afraid of being implicated.

"Qin Ming, listen to me, you can't kill me, Wangjing Prefecture..."

"Laugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ming swung his knife, the Butcher's Knife piercing Yu Qing's chest and pinning him firmly to the city wall.

Qin Ming!

"Don't want!"

Xiong San tried to stop them, but it was too late.

"Qin Ming, he's an official appointed by the imperial court. If you kill him, the court will definitely not let you off!"

Xiong San was startled.

Not to mention that Qin Ming is now a member of the Demon-Hunting Team, knowingly breaking the law, which makes his crime even more serious!

If it weren't for his identity, Xiong San would have killed Yu Qing long ago, given his fiery temper. He had endured it for so many years, but Qin Ming just took action without hesitation.

"Qin... Qin Ming! You... the imperial court will definitely not let you go!"

Yu Qing hadn't completely breathed his last yet. He stared intently at Qin Ming, a smile on his face, as if he could already see Qin Ming being hunted down by the imperial court.

"Really? Then take a look at this."

Qin Ming walked up to Yu Qing, took out a gold token from his pocket, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Once I enter Wangjing Prefecture, do you think the imperial court will investigate my mistake of killing a mere county magistrate?"

Yu Qing's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at the three large characters "Wangjing Prefecture" on the token.

"You..."

Yu Qing was so enraged that he spat blood from his mouth and nose and died on the spot.

He was so angry that he died.

The token in Qin Ming's hand was an internal recommendation order from Wangjing Prefecture, which meant that Qin Ming must have a powerful backer in Wangjing Prefecture. If he had known Qin Ming had such a background, why would he have targeted Qin Ming? Why did he end up like this?

With the token in his possession, his worthless life was destined to die in vain!

Xiong San and the others looked at each other, full of doubt, not understanding what Qin Ming had shown Yu Qing that could ultimately anger him to death.

Thump!

A loud bang suddenly came from below, and the entire city wall shook slightly.

Qin Ming peered out from the city wall and saw the Silver-Haired Evil Ghost frantically pounding on the city gate with its fists.

Although he was several meters tall, he had no ability to fly and his jumping height was limited, so he could only vent his anger in this way.

"Watch out from the sky!!"

Xiong San suddenly let out a furious roar.

Several Ghost Entity with Human-Headed, Beast-Bodied emerged from the Ghost Fog in the sky and rushed rapidly toward them.

Those Ghost Entity were all over three people tall, exuding a fierce aura. The moment they landed, they crushed several people into mincemeat.

They wielded weapons and possessed immense strength. With a wave of their hands, they blasted several soldiers out of the city. Several Wraith emerged from the Ghost Fog and quickly drained the soldiers into Dry Corpses.

"You beast!"

Xiong San leaped up, his body radiating Sha Qi, and delivered a powerful punch that slammed into the head of one of the Ghost Entity.

Xiong San, who cultivates the "Black Sha Skill," Black Sha Power flowing throughout his body, making him a humanoid weapon!

"Pfft!"

The punch pierced directly through the head of the Ghost Entity with Human-Headed, Snake-Bodied, and wings on its back. The Sha Qi surged wildly, refining the Ghost Entity's head.

Even so, the Ghost Entity was still alive. Its thick snake body quickly coiled around Xiong San, and with a sudden tightening, Xiong San's face turned red instantly. Even though his whole body was surging with Sha Qi, he still couldn't break free.

Just as Xiong San was about to be crushed into a pulp, a flash of light suddenly struck, slicing the snake in two.

"Martial Uncle, are you alright?"

Qin Ming reached out and helped Xiong San up.

"Fine."

Xiong San coughed violently a few times, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes as he looked at Qin Ming.

When Qin Ming first arrived, he recognized Qin Ming's talent and wanted to send him to the Demon-Hunting Team so that he could become the captain and assist him in the future. But in such a short time, Qin Ming's strength has already surpassed his.

"Junior Brother!"

Lu Liu rushed over in a panic.

"Master has been captured by Ghost Monster!"
