Resolving Qiu Yun, Gaining Earth Fiend Legs

Zhou Qiming circulated the power of his Iron Cloth Skill, and his body emitted sounds like firecrackers.

He unleashed various moves from Iron Fist Skill, Iron Arm Skill, and Iron Crotch Skill, attacking Qiu Yun.

A blind moving target, it was the perfect sparring dummy for improving combat skills and Iron Cloth Skill!

Zhou Qiming was immersed in his cultivation, gaining new insights into Iron Cloth Skill, and came up with ingenious ideas for applying its various moves.

Sparring was the best way to digest what he had learned.

"You're seeking death!"

The situation reversed. Being treated as a sparring dummy by a Muscle Cultivation realm martial artist, Qiu Yun was furious and immediately unleashed killing moves.

Even without sight, the power of the Bone Forging Realm was not something a mere ant could shake. He hadn't expected Zhou Qiming to be so ferocious, not running away.

Boom!

The two figures instantly exchanged over ten blows. Trees snapped where they passed, and the surrounding air crackled as it was compressed by their energy.

However, the expected crushing defeat did not materialize. Qiu Yun grew increasingly alarmed as they fought. This kid's power was terrifyingly strong, and his skin was as thick as copper, making him like a moving iron tower.

With mere Muscle Cultivation realm strength, he was actually blocking Qiu Yun's Earth Fiend Legs. Qiu Yun had never seen such a monstrously talented young martial artist before.

What shocked and horrified him the most was that Zhou Qiming's Iron Cloth Skill, initially sluggish and awkward, was becoming more and more proficient. At first, he could anticipate the changes in moves, but later, even if he could see the flaws in Iron Cloth Skill, he couldn't keep up with the speed at which the flaws disappeared!

Even Yuan Tieyi from the Iron Clothes Martial Arts School would be no match for him!

"No, this isn't the strength a Muscle Cultivation realm should possess. When did the Iron Clothes Martial Arts School produce a Heavenly Prodigy like you!"

Fists fear the young, and prolonged combat is disadvantageous. Qiu Yun's vitality began to wane, while the opponent's power was endless, as if his defeat was already sealed.

The answer to Qiu Yun was the extremely ferocious Woodcutting Saber Technique. The Mountain-Weight Saber descended repeatedly with invincible might, instantly heavily wounding Qiu Yun. He was sent flying back over ten meters, spitting blood, with a terrifyingly deep gash from his shoulder to his waist, exposing bone.

Qiu Yun's feet plowed the ground for over ten meters before he could dissipate the terrifying power of the Woodcutting Saber Technique. The bones in his legs were even shattered by the impact.

"This is the strength of the Bone Forging Realm! You are Xiao Tian!"

Qiu Yun gasped in shock and anger, his breath catching in his throat. The power of this saber strike was too terrifying; it could shatter his skin and bones!

He had been honing his skills in the Bone Forging Realm for a long time, concentrating all his strength in his leg bones, which he was proud of. Yet, before Zhou Qiming, he was utterly defenseless.

A Bone Forging Realm martial artist. When did the Cheng Family hire such a powerful bodyguard? It must be aid from the Iron Clothes Martial Arts School.

Qiu Yun felt only regret and helplessness. He shouldn't have underestimated Zhou Qiming, nor should he have brought only a group of low-level Muscle Cultivation realm thugs to ambush the Cheng Family's caravan. The Cheng Family was hiding too deeply.

"Young hero, don't kill me! I'll give you all my money, and the treasure vault I have hidden in the gang, too!" Qiu Yun gasped, his breath shallow, with more air going out than coming in.

"You know too much. Besides, if I kill you, these things will be mine anyway!" Zhou Qiming shook his head coldly and punched Qiu Yun's forehead. The skull cracked and shattered. The other party dared to bargain with his own property!

Qiu Yun's flesh and blood were blurred, his vital energy completely dissipated.

But Zhou Qiming was not careless, guarding against the opponent's dying blow. Killing without finishing the job was not a good habit.

"With your strength at the Bone Forging Realm, why didn't you fight me honorably? Using such low-class tricks, I hate it!"

Qiu Yun roared to the sky, his eyes splitting. He pounced to the ground, dead as could be, his face full of resentment and unwillingness.

This battle was too stifling. His Earth Fiend Legs had not been able to exert their full effect. His strength felt like hitting cotton. The battle had been led by Zhou Qiming. A duel between experts relied on vital energy and momentum. Falling into a passive state, being killed by Zhou Qiming was only a matter of time.

"This world is truly dangerous. Even a martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm can die from a sneak attack. I need to break through to Tendon Changing as soon as possible to have some self-preservation ability."

Zhou Qiming shook his head, remembering the lesson. People die when they are killed.

From now on, he couldn't underestimate opponents weaker than him. They might be cunning old foxes who specialize in sneak attacks. Falling into a trap like Qiu Yun would be a huge loss.

Speaking of which, he had only been practicing martial arts for over half a year, and his hands were already stained with the lives of several people. This was the cruelty of the world. If he hadn't practiced diligently, he might have been the one to die here today.

Zhou Qiming stopped lamenting and quickly went to search the body. A hall master of the Jinsha Gang was already a significant figure. The savings he possessed must be substantial.

"This is..."

He opened the satchel and bag he was carrying. Inside were a full thousand taels of silver notes, and a Gold Leaf worth 100 taels of silver.

"I'm rich!" Zhou Qiming's eyes lit up. He had become rich overnight.

Killers and arsonists wear golden belts. In just a moment, he had earned more than he would have working in a restaurant for several lifetimes. Indeed, working for others was impossible; only starting one's own venture could lead to wealth, and it was a hundredfold profit.

This was just the hall master of one Earth Fiend Hall. If he killed the hall masters of the other halls, or the vice-gang leader or gang leader above them, how much wealth would they possess!

"Hmph, I'll deposit my money with you for now!" Zhou Qiming calmed down. He needed to digest the money and resources he had now. He was in the stage of quietly improving his strength and was not yet ready to reveal his hand and clash with Tendon Changing martial artists.

With his Martial arts panel, he had no bottlenecks in cultivation. There was no need to take risks. What seemed like an insurmountable obstacle now would only be a threshold he could step over in a few months.

"Eh, there's a treasure too!"

Zhou Qiming carefully examined and felt around. He found a cultivation technique hidden in the sole of the opponent's shoe. He hadn't expected Qiu Yun to carry his martial arts manual with him. He must have been extremely diligent in his practice.

"Earth Fiend Legs, Thirteen Forms of Leg Stance Training. Practiced to the Extreme Realm, it can rival ancient mighty figures, chasing mountains and moons, and Shrink Ground into Inch."

Looking at the exaggerated description of the cultivation technique, Zhou Qiming smiled. He didn't think it could be as powerful as described, but he happened to be in need of a movement technique. It was like a pillow arriving just as he was about to fall asleep.

With Earth Fiend Legs, he could not only increase his Root Bone point limit but also compensate for his lack of speed. Even if he couldn't defeat an enemy, he could escape and save his life!

This was his first time fighting a martial master at the Bone Forging Realm. He had wanted to collect leg and movement techniques for a long time.

This Earth Fiend Legs is a good thing, it's just a bit smelly...

Zhou Qiming frowned and wrapped the cultivation technique in cloth. This was the biggest gain from this trip, its value was no less than a thousand taels of silver.

Earth Fiend Legs might just be ordinary leg techniques in other people's hands, but with the cheat-like talent for breaking limits, after breaking through two or three levels, it might truly allow one to chase stars and moons like a mighty cultivator, Shrink Ground into Inch. For a moment, Zhou Qiming became expectant.

"Pa pa pa!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound of applause came from his ear, startling Zhou Qiming, who was in joy. He looked up.

There's still a rat!

Under his icy gaze, a handsome youth in silver armor and a treasured saber at his waist walked out leisurely from behind a locust tree as thick as a man's embrace.

The youth was dignified and full of vigor. He clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Wonderful, wonderful! I didn't expect your martial arts to reach such a level. To kill Qiu Yun at such a young age, this fellow is indeed trash. My Sky Shaker Army, under King Chaotian, is desperately seeking talent. Why not join us and seek wealth together? The grudges with the Jinsha Gang can be forgiven."

Sky Shaker Army, King Chaotian?

The Sky Shaker Army was an insurgent force that had risen in recent years, sweeping across Luoshan County and several surrounding counties. Their strength was formidable, and even several County Governors had lost their positions trying to suppress the bandits.

Although they claimed to be an insurgent force, they were no different from fierce bandits, committing all sorts of evil deeds like burning, killing, and looting. The Jinsha Gang had allied with these Sky Shaker Bandits. No wonder they were so eager to attack the forces in Jinshui Town; they were trying to offer a token of allegiance to that King Chaotian.

Having his killing scene witnessed by this youth, Zhou Qiming did not panic. He calmly began to think.

No matter what, being able to cross realms and kill a Bone Forging martial artist within half a year was truly astonishing. He could not expose his trump cards and strength!

Therefore, regardless of whether it was the Sky Shaker Army or some other army, anyone who knew his secret had to die!
