Super Iron Plate

Zhang You's internal injuries had only recovered a little over sixty percent, nearly seventy.

But his blood and qi had already transformed into qi, and his physical body was gradually growing stronger. He was somewhat stronger than before.

Against experts above the Foundation Establishment Realm, even he did not yet know where his limits lay!

He had to hurry and mend his internal injuries!

He still had one Sarira left to use.

Shopkeeper Li had probably spoken to the authorities, so even though a murder had taken place, no officials came.

After drinking two cups of tea, Gao Xuhai slowly left as well.

Before leaving, he smiled with narrowed eyes and glanced at Zhang You twice.

"Humph!"

Zhang You added him to the list of people who had to die!

Near noon, he secretly dumped out the food delivered by Delicious Restaurant again.

Perhaps word of the deaths at the teahouse had spread as well. After that, hardly anyone came to drink tea—or rather, hardly any ordinary people.

Those who came were cultivators, ranging from the first to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Moreover, these cultivators were all outsiders, and they were exceedingly cautious!

Even when they talked, they did so in hushed voices. Some even set up soundproofing formations!

Zhang You was not particularly nosy, so he did not deliberately eavesdrop.

But with so many cultivators suddenly pouring into Xiaolin City, something major had likely happened!

He was not too concerned about it either!

During the latter half of the day, he stole moments in the back kitchen to refine that Sarira bit by bit!

With his deliberate concealment, the refinement went rather smoothly.

His internal injuries had recovered by more than eighty percent!

And his control over qi was becoming increasingly effortless. He could already keep it under control well, no longer letting it spread outward.

From the outside, he merely looked like an ordinary young man who was somewhat sturdier than average, so he no longer drew the attention of other cultivators.

As night approached, Zhang You closed the teahouse doors!

His stomach was growling with hunger, and he prepared to buy some meat buns!

Tonight's great battle might be unavoidable!

He needed to fill his stomach first!

In the chilly weather, sleet began to fall again, and pedestrians hurried back and forth along the streets.

By the time Zhang You reached the bun shop, it was already closing up!

He bought more than fifty buns in one go, filling a large bag to the brim!

He ate as he walked, utterly carefree!

"Since you're here, why are you still hiding? Come out!"

When Zhang You passed through an alley, he had already finished all the buns.

The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet!

"What sharp senses for such a little brat, to actually discover my presence!"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood emerged slowly from the darkness, leaning on his cane. The arm severed during the day had already been reattached.

"It's because you stink too much. I could smell you from several streets away!"

Zhang You tossed aside the bag in his hand and leisurely wiped his mouth.

"You're not afraid of me?"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood sneered.

"Afraid! I'm scared to death!"

Zhang You put on a show of patting his chest.

"You sharp-tongued little thing! You'll soon learn what fear is!"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood did not waste words. He planted his cane on the ground.

Two arms suddenly stretched out from beneath Zhang You's feet and tightly seized him.

"Don't be in such a hurry! There are still people who haven't come out yet!"

Zhang You did not panic. He glanced behind the old ghost.

"Hehe! You want... hm?"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood had not quite believed him, but he suddenly detected movement!

"Get out here!"

He directly fired a stream of spiritual power toward the rear.

"Oh my, we were discovered!"

The old ghost's attack was directly dispelled.

Three more people walked out of the darkness.

They were Gao Xuhai and his two men!

"Third Young Master Gao! What is the meaning of this? You followed me, Old Ghost?"

Killing intent appeared on Old Ghost of Withered Blood's face.

"Hehe! How could that be? I was merely passing by. Please, continue!"

Gao Xuhai smiled unconcernedly, yet he had no intention of leaving.

He then looked at Zhang You, who was bound in place, and said in surprise, "Eh! That fragrance on you has disappeared!"

Zhang You had long since drawn his blood and qi inward. He looked no different from an ordinary person now, so naturally they could not sense it.

"What fragrance? I haven't bathed in days. The stench is rather strong, though!"

"I think you two may have misunderstood something about me! How about we sit down and have a cup of tea politely?"

Zhang You put on a frightened expression.

"Give me some face, Third Young Master. Hand this person over to me!"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood ignored Zhang You. He knew what Gao Xuhai wanted—he was simply eyeing Zhang You too.

But he did not want to create needless complications and stir up too much trouble.

"How about half each? My men have studied anatomy. They guarantee they can divide him into two equal halves!"

Gao Xuhai pointed at Zhang You and smiled.

"..."

Old Ghost of Withered Blood narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gao Xuhai's two guards directly stepped forward as well, pressing in.

"Fine! Half each!"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood ultimately chose to compromise!

Zhang You narrowed his eyes and released a faint trace of qi!

At that moment, both Old Ghost of Withered Blood and Gao Xuhai sensed it.

Their eyes instantly lit up, and even their breathing became hurried!

As though they had seen some peerless treasure, they stared fixedly at Zhang You!

Both sides each retreated several steps, madness appearing in their eyes!

In their eyes, the blood and qi emanating from Zhang You was absolutely a supreme tonic, worth more than blood pills made from tens of thousands of ordinary people!

They felt that if they could refine him into a pill and consume it, they would certainly enter the Foundation Establishment Realm!

"What does Third Young Master mean by this?"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood licked his cracked lips.

He had heard that the Gao family of Liaoxiang City had an ancestor in the Soul Realm. Once entangled with them, things would become troublesome.

"Half each, just as before!"

Gao Xuhai forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Old Ghost of Withered Blood was also a known figure in their circles, with quite a few methods at his disposal. Gao Xuhai was not confident he could take him down.

"Then it's settled!"

Old Ghost of Withered Blood ultimately compromised again!

To be honest, Zhang You had not expected his blood and qi to be so alluring!

Just leaking a trace had provoked such a huge reaction from them!

"Hey, you old bastard, I gave you a chance and you still couldn't make use of it!"

Zhang You simply stopped pretending. With a stomp of his foot, the two arms were torn apart, then shattered into nothingness.

"You..."

Old Ghost of Withered Blood was stunned for an instant.

"I hope that in your next life, you'll be reborn as someone smarter. Open your eyes before you act!"

A light, drifting voice sounded beside Old Ghost of Withered Blood.

Then a head soared into the sky!

"Hm? A substitute?"

The Old Daoist's body and head turned into a mass of black mist and scattered.

He himself appeared several dozen steps behind Zhang You.

Cold sweat covered his forehead. He had truly been a hair's breadth from dropping dead on the spot!

He then stared at Zhang You with a face full of shock.

After seeing Zhang You make his move, Gao Xuhai also retreated in fright!

Four Symbols: White Tiger Thunder Prison Qi Armor!

An invisible qi armor instantly spread outward from Zhang You as its center, enveloping the other four within it.

Gao Xuhai and Old Ghost of Withered Blood's hearts went cold by half!

They had fucking kicked a super iron plate!
