Through-the-Back Fist's First Trial

Outside the Desolate City.

In a deserted house.

Qin Ming settled the Embroiderer and the others here.

"Junior Brother, this journey is fraught with danger, you must be very careful."

Lu Liu lay in bed, not forgetting to give his instructions.

As he spoke, he coughed a few times, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Several of them were seriously injured and could only rest in bed for the time being.

"Don't worry, senior brother, you get some rest. I'll bring your Martial Uncle back."

His purpose in going to the Desolate City was to rescue Xiong San.

"Junior Brother, this is for you."

Li Shengnan took out a human skin mask from her bosom.

"Perhaps you can use it."

Qin Ming took it, stuck it to his face, and after rotating it, he had transformed into a middle-aged man with a thick beard.

"Not bad."

Qin Ming touched his face; it fit perfectly.

"Xiangxiang, you stay here and keep Xiaoxi company until I come back, okay?"

"Know."

Xiangxiang nodded obediently, "I'll cook fish soup for my older brother and sister."

"Brother Qin, if you see my man, please bring him back."

Wu Shi spoke of Wang Shun.

Wang Shun usually went to work after dawn and returned after dark. If he went back to that hut, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?

Qin Ming nodded. "I understand. Don't worry, Brother Wang will be fine."

After saying that, Qin Ming turned and left, putting on the human skin mask and entering the Desolate City.

As soon as he entered the city, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere had changed. There was a sense of tension, and the County Yamen runners were patrolling around, seemingly looking for something.

Qin Ming glanced back at the direction of the city gate.

They hardly needed any checks when they came in, but when they left, there were several more layers of security, and even the boxes in the carriage had to be opened and inspected.

Clearly, the County Yamen are investigating the whereabouts of Qin Ming and the girl.

Just then, Qin Ming suddenly sensed a familiar presence and subconsciously looked towards the street corner in the distance.

A group of people were walking down the street, surrounded by a young man holding a folding fan. He was walking slowly at the head of the group, surrounded by important figures from the city, including the city lord of the Desolate City. Everyone had smiles on their faces and kept nodding and bowing to the young man.

Qin Ming recognized the young man at a glance; it was Li Qingfeng from Wangjing Prefecture, who had inexplicably stabbed him in Qingyang County and saved the female ghost!

How did he get here?

Qin Ming was startled.

Li Qingfeng is from Wangjing Prefecture. Normally, Demon Hunters only leave after issuing a mission, which means that Li Qingfeng's appearance in the Desolate City this time is very likely due to a mission.

With the River God Sacrifice ceremony approaching, it's not hard to guess that Li Qingfeng's mission is related to the ceremony.

Qin Ming's eyes flashed with anger; he couldn't believe the imperial court would do such a thing.

"Lu Ming, I'm not trying to be mean, but you can't even handle this little thing. What use are you?"

Li Qingfeng was furious.

The date for the River God Sacrifice was fast approaching, and he could finish the sacrifice early to complete his mission and return home, but two unfortunate things happened in a row.

Both of the girls who were originally scheduled to be virgins encountered accidents.

"Please calm down, young master. I will definitely bring them back. I have sealed off the entire city; they definitely can't escape." Lu Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The Lineage patriarchs nearby echoed this, claiming that they had already sent people to search and would definitely find it tonight.

Seeing this, the city lord also spoke up, "Young Master Li, let's give Lu Ming another chance. It's not too late to punish him if we can't find him by tonight."

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng's expression softened somewhat.

"Please, please come in, young master."

With a broad smile, Lu Ming led Li Qingfeng to Yichun Tower.

"A great opportunity!!"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up.

This is the perfect time to rescue Xiong San.

It must be said that there are indeed more powerful people in this Desolate City than in Qingyang County. In just a short while, Qin Ming had already seen more than one Blood Refining Realm expert.

In the County Yamen alone, besides Lu Ming, there are several other Blood Refining Realm.

Not to mention Li Qingfeng, a Bright Strength expert. Qin Ming has already experienced the strength of a Bright Strength expert, and even though he has now broken through to the Bone Refining Realm, he doesn't dare to rashly fight him.

"Time is running out, we need to hurry."

Qin Ming immediately went to the County Yamen and climbed over the wall.

The Water Prison was located inside the County Yamen). Before coming here, Qin Ming had already learned the exact location of the Water Prison from Hou Wu, so Qin Ming walked in easily after entering the County Yamen.

Soon, Qin Ming arrived at the entrance to the Water Prison.

"Who goes there?" The two gatekeepers spotted Qin Ming and immediately rushed over.

Both of them were experts at the Flesh Refining Realm, but Qin Ming didn't take them seriously at all. He casually slapped them away twice, then kicked open the door and barged in.

A tremendous roar immediately echoed through the Water Prison.

This Water Prison is where the most heinous criminals are imprisoned.

"Martial Uncle! Martial Uncle! It's me, I've come to save you!"

Qin Ming's voice rang out from beneath the Water Prison.

"Am I here?" A weak voice came from the depths of the Water Prison.

Qin Ming rushed in the direction the sound came from.

His eyes instantly turned red upon seeing the scene before him.

Xiong San was covered in blood, barely clothed, and covered in wounds. Not only that, but his collarbone had been pierced by an iron hook, leaving him hanging in mid-air. One can imagine the excruciating pain he must have been in.

"Someone's breaking into the prison!!"

Someone spotted Qin Ming and immediately swung a large knife at him.

There were a dozen or so prison guards in total.

Both were at the Flesh Refining Realm, Qin Ming quickly dealt with them. Just as he was about to open the old gate for Xiong San, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.

"Kid, if you want to break into prison, you'll have to ask my Vajra Fist for permission first!"

A cold snort rang in Qin Ming's ears, making them ring.

"Such powerful internal energy!" Qin Ming's expression changed. Oh no, it's Blood Refining Realm expert!

Qin Ming never expected that there would be Blood Refining Realm expert guarding this small Water Prison. No wonder the guards above were so weak; they were deliberately feigning weakness!

"Boom!"

No sooner said than done, Qin Ming had just turned around when he saw a golden fist less than three feet in front of him.

"Good timing!"

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in Qin Ming's eyes. He wanted to see how Qin Ming's current strength compared to a true Blood Refining Realm expert.

"Kill!"

Qin Ming withdrew his fists directly, his internal Qi and Blood circulating to their limit in this one point, and even his bones were bursting with silver light.

However, the light only appeared inside his body, so outsiders could not see it. Qin Ming activated the power of the Silver Bone for the first time, Qin Ming quickly felt the difference. A stream of heat continuously gushed out from the bone, like a fountain, constantly spewing out terrifying physical power, endlessly.

"Boom!!"

With a loud bang, the entire Water Prison seemed to tremble.

The two separated immediately upon contact. Qin Ming retreated three steps, while the Blood Refining Realm opposite him retreated more than ten steps before barely stopping, his hands trembling and numb.

How is that possible?

The other side was utterly shocked.

How could a Blood Refining Realm expert like him be defeated by the Bone Refining Realm junior, especially since the attacker launched a sneak attack from behind with all his might? Qin Ming's hasty palm strike—how could this be?

"It seems your strength is inferior to mine!"

Qin Ming was brimming with confidence.

He had initially thought his strength was inferior to that of the Blood Refining Realm expert, but now it seemed that was not the case. His strength, combined with his Silver Bones, had surpassed that of an ordinary Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist.

And this is without him using the Pure Yang Fire. If he had used the Pure Yang Fire, the opponent wouldn't have been able to stop him at all.

"Again!"

Qin Ming shouted and charged forward like a cheetah.

Kill!

Qin Ming suddenly changed his moves. He used to use fists and feet, but now he used whip kicks and backhand swings.

Through-the-Back Fist!

On his way to the city, Qin Ming had already mastered the Through-the-Back Fist to the Perfection Realm and was now preparing to test its power.

"Smack! Smack!!"

Qin Ming unleashed several strikes in succession, each one accompanied by a terrifying explosion in the air. The man opposite him turned pale, clearly recognizing the martial arts Qin Ming was using. He had witnessed Qin Ming's terrifying power and dared not take it head-on. However, as time passed, Qin Ming's speed increased, and finally, Qin Ming struck him hard on the shoulder with the back of his hand.

"Ah!"

This blow shattered his entire shoulder bone.

That wasn't the end of it. Qin Ming pressed his advantage, delivering a series of punches that pulverized the man's arms. He then kicked him into the cell door and finished him off with a punch, creating a horrifying bloody hole in the man's chest.

Qin Ming moved swiftly and quickly found two martial arts manuals on him.

"Vajra Fist" and "Vajra Art".

"Brother, lend me a hand and let me out. I'll give you anything you want. I'm the second-in-command of the Li River Bandits, worth millions of taels of Silver. If you rescue me, I'll split everything with you!"

In a corner of the Water Prison, a filthy, stench-filled man, as thin as Monkey, suddenly grabbed the iron bars and let out a hoarse roar.

"And me! I'm the Lineage in Desolate City. Save me and I'll give you a million taels of silver!"

"Brother, it seems you're interested in martial arts. Save me, and I can give you an Eighth-Rank Martial Art!"

"Dude, I also learned some external martial arts, Iron Body Shirt, you know? I have Iron Body Shirt, and the Diamond Shield from Shaolin Temple. Get me out of here and I'll give you everything!"

Seeing Qin Ming kill all the guards, the death row inmates in the Water Prison could no longer sit still and instantly went berserk.

Because they understood that this might be their only chance to leave!

"Qin Ming, quick, let me out!"

Xiong San's voice was weak, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

He saw an opportunity to break through to the Blood Refining Realm!
