Accumulation, Part 2

The three were roughly at the same level, all barely reaching the Super Grade level. Perhaps the old man with the Crescent Moon Shovel thought that calling more people would guarantee a victory.

Unfortunately, he didn't understand that no matter how much garbage there is, it's still just garbage.

In particular, the increased explosive power has made Zhang Rongfang's instantaneous power even more terrifying when he uses Breaking Limit Skill.

Among the Breaking Limit Skill that Zhang Rongfang possesses, there is a move that transforms explosive power into short-distance movement.

This limit -Breaking Limit Skill is called: Ground Shrinking.

With a whoosh, Zhang Rongfang's body trembled, and he once again slipped through the gap between the two combatants.

He slapped his arms backward, landing precisely on the backs of the two men where their hearts were located.

Pfft! Pfft! The two of them froze, their bodies just beginning to bulge with blood vessels, reaching their Limit State, only to be abruptly interrupted by this sudden burst of energy.

With two muffled thuds, the two corpses fell to the ground, lifeless.

Zhang Rongfang turned around and squinted at the three corpses on the ground.

"It seems that the Thousand Stone Sect is also a problem."

He had already realized that all three of them were Spirit Vein.

Or to be more precise, Thousand Mountain Saber Tang Shihong, is Ninth Grade Spirit Guard, while the other two are both External Medicine Super Grade Spirit Vein.

"Three Spiritization are a problem even if we can't kill them. You all wait here while I go and find a way to deal with them," Zhang Rongfang instructed Sun Chaoyue and the others.

"Yes!"

Sun Chaoyue and more than ten other Great Dao Sect priests finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Zhang Rongfang kill three powerful enemies in just a dozen or so moves, the crowd was shocked, followed by excitement and a strong sense of security.

Sun Chaoyue kept recalling the brief exchange she had just witnessed, her eyes sparkling with admiration and a sense of longing filling her heart.

Upon hearing Zhang Rongfang's instructions, she quickly lowered her head and agreed.

When they looked up again, the three corpses and Zhang Rongfang were gone.

In the mountains and forests, Zhang Rongfang carried three corpses and ran at top speed.

The rugged and steep Woodland was like flat ground to him, and he traversed several miles in the blink of an eye.

Before long, he arrived at a cliff several hundred meters high.

"Goodbye." He casually tossed the corpses aside one by one.

Whoosh whoosh.

The three were thrown dozens of meters away and fell into the mist-shrouded canyon.

A moment later, faint popping sounds could be heard.

"It seems that the Thousand Stone Sect must find a way to kill the Spirit Guard Spirit Vein in a short time as soon as possible. This constant back and forth is too annoying."

Zhang Rongfang gazed in the direction from which the sound came.

He pondered how to quickly end this troublesome monster.

"Perhaps, the only way to see hope is to start with the talents gained from increasing health points."

The bottom of the canyon in the distance.

The three corpses, which had been smashed to pieces, slowly regained their shape, opened their eyes, and got up from the ground.

"Such speed, such power!!" Tang Shihong painfully brushed the dirt off his hands, still feeling lingering fear as he recalled the fight.

"That man is just an ordinary martial artist, let's go again! I don't believe we can't wear him down!!"

Lotus Hand Zheng Jun. He had used this move to wear down many Super Grade martial artists stronger than himself. Therefore, he had no lingering fear of the previous exchange.

Only the old man with the Crescent Moon Shovel, Mo Yue Zhao Zhongyi, remained silent and pondered for a moment.

"No. That person is no ordinary rogue; he is a master within the Great Dao Sect. He alone can suppress the three of us. If he were to be accompanied by an ordinary Spirit Guard, he could simply drain us dry. Therefore, we must not be careless!"

He glanced at his two companions.

"You don't actually think that the Great Dao Sect doesn't have a single Spirit Guard Spirit Vein, do you?"

Upon hearing this, both Tang Shihong and Zheng Jun fell silent.

Indeed, none of the three of them could defeat that person. If the opponent were to add another Spirit Guard, the spirit guard would repeatedly devour their Spirit Thread during the intervals between their deaths and resurrections.

It will probably not be long before the three of them are brutally killed.

"But the Sky Peak Cave cannot be lost. If we can find the medicine to prolong life, we will surely win the favor of the Sect Master. At that time, we might even be able to obtain more Spirit Thread," Tang Shihong said unwillingly.

"At this point, this matter is no longer something we can decide on our own. We must report it," Zhao Zhongyi said in a deep voice.

"You mean you want the Protector and the Sect Master to take action personally?" Zheng Jun and Tang Shihong's expressions changed slightly.

In that case, that person is definitely doomed.

However, the credit they should have received will be significantly reduced.

"This is the only way. Otherwise, once that person collects and takes the medicine, we will end up with nothing, which would be meaningless." Zhao Zhongyi understood this clearly.

The other two pondered for a moment, and although they were unwilling, they had to admit that what he said was true.

"Alright! Let's go find the Protector together and ask him to help!"

***Mid-May is slowly passing by.

Zhang Rongfang continued his secluded cultivation within the Sky Peak Cave.

He doesn't need to concern himself with the matter in Citong for the time being.

He couldn't be bothered with the Thousand Stone Sect. Without a way to kill the Spirit Guard Spirit Vein single-handedly in a short time, he couldn't quickly deal with the three.

The core of everything now is to continuously accumulate attributes.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the three members of the Thousand Stone Sect last attacked.

During this month, Zhang Rongfang gained another ten attribute points. Adding those to the two points he had left, he now has twelve points.

Using those twelve points, he quickly made up for the loss of health points, returning to one hundred.

The Dark Light Vision talent has been reactivated.

He then added all eight remaining Attribute Points to the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training, pushing it to the Sixth Grade and achieving perfection. The remaining two points would be used to Breaking Limits and enter the Seventh Grade.

Upon reaching the Sixth Grade, his entire body was essentially protected by skin, equivalent to wearing two layers of thick leather armor, which was quite formidable.

Now, other martial arts techniques offer almost no improvement to his Breaking Limits.

Only through Hard Skill can one significantly enhance the defensive capabilities of their entire body, thereby improving their overall strength.

The Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training on the sixth level, except for the last three weak points, is now flawless.

These last three vulnerable areas are the head, chest, and genitals.

During this month, Zhang Rongfang also successfully perfected the acupoint Meridian Seal techniques brought about by the Dark Light Vision, enabling him to fight enemies alone.

Combined with offense, defense, and evasion, along with movement techniques, it quickly became a unique martial art recognized by the Attribute Panel.

Next, he named this new martial art the Soul Scattering Finger.

He then imparted the basic knowledge to Ding Luo.

Although it is necessary to learn about the superficial blood and qi nodes of the human skin at the beginning.

However, unless one possesses exceptional sensory abilities, this finger technique cannot be easily mastered.

While Zhang Rongfang was diligently cultivating in the Sky Peak Cave.

New developments have emerged in Citong.

***May 17th afternoon.

At the Chen Xiang Mountain.

A group of merchants and ship owners from the Hundred Merchants Association were gathered together, waiting for the Daoist priest from the Aloeswood Palace to give them an explanation.

These merchants and ship owners were all filled with righteous indignation and resentment.

"We must get an explanation!"

Why would the people from the Aloeswood Palace hijack our cargo ship carrying medicine?!

"Since you claim someone is impersonating someone, then produce the evidence!? As the second largest sect in the Great Ling Daoist Sect, why haven't you taken any action to prove your innocence since you've been implicated!?"

"Maybe they stole it? They're just pretending not to know. I heard not long ago that the Aloeswood Palace was searching everywhere for Treasure Medicine."

Some people started to speak in a sarcastic or mocking tone.

However, due to the obstruction of the Great Dao Sect priests and the Guardian Teaching Office, the group did not directly rush up to the Dao Palace.

They were blocked at the entrance at the foot of the mountain and kept shouting.

Chen Han stood in a small pavilion halfway up the mountain, listening to the noise below. His brows furrowed slightly, and he felt somewhat irritated.

"My lord, a lot more people have arrived outside. They say that the Daoists from our Aloeswood Palace robbed their medicinal herb cargo ship. Some of these people suffered heavy losses, while others suffered light ones. But all of them together, it's not a small amount."

The old Daoist priest who was impersonating Zhang Rongfang was also frowning.

"Lord Chen, what do you think we should do now?"

"It was one thing before, it was just the Jade Shop Association, but now even the merchants from the Hundred Merchants Association have fallen victim. And they're even accusing us of doing it and demanding compensation from us! This is simply outrageous!" The old Daoist priest began to grumble indignantly again.

"I've already written the transfer order and requested support. No rush, it should arrive soon," Chen Han replied in a deep voice, frowning.

"You mean we have to endure it?" the old Daoist priest asked helplessly.

"Yes. Continue to endure. No matter who it is, no one is allowed to trespass into the Aloeswood Palace. We don't care about the rest!" Chen Han said decisively.

"Then you won't buy daily necessities? You won't buy food, clothing, shelter, or transportation for your daily life?" the old Daoist priest asked again.

"Please have the Government Office send it over. For the next few days, everyone should stay on the mountain and not go out. We'll talk about it again after Daozi returns."

Chen Han didn't understand anything about scheming or trouble, nor did he have any decision-making power, so all he knew was to hold onto his core territory and wait for Daozi to return so he could handle things personally.

At this moment, at a tea stall in the distance at the Chen Xiang Mountain.

Two figures sat eating tea and snacks while gazing towards the Aloeswood Palace to watch the performance.

"You're really good at keeping your composure," the man in the group chuckled.

"Unfortunately, Chen Han just won't come out. He's even increased the number of patrols in the area. Many of them Divine Archer from the Garrison, armed with crossbows and muskets. Even Super Grade warriors would face a huge threat. We dare not go any further," another woman said, frowning.

In the Great Ling, the Elite Spirit Army consists of these warriors wielding firearms and crossbows. Once they maintain a slight distance, their destructive power is simply unimaginable.

"It's alright. Even if you don't come out, it doesn't mean everything is alright," the man said with a slight smile, gently waving his folding fan.

"Have you gotten the Complete Truth Powder from the Hundred Merchants Association Guild that we wanted?" he asked casually.

"Yes, I've already received it, and it's even wearing the Aloeswood Palace robe. But will people really believe it?" the woman asked doubtfully.

"Believe it or not, the Aloeswood Palace must send out experts to investigate thoroughly," the man said with a smile.

"In any case, they can no longer simply stand aside as they used to."

Within the Thousand Sect Alliance, the Hundred Changes Organization meticulously assembled by his master played a crucial role in this operation in Citong.

"I want to see just how patient Zhang Ying Daozi can be. He hasn't shown up to resolve this yet."

The man folded his fan and was about to get up and leave.

Just then.

A commotion quickly approached from afar.

At this moment, First Squad elite soldiers carrying crossbows, swords, and shields, and wearing leather Helmet, were rapidly walking on the street at the foot of the Aloeswood Palace Mountain.

At the head of the troop of soldiers, three generals rode tall horses, fully armored, their arrogant gazes sweeping over all the people on the roadside.

"What are you all doing gathered here? Are you rebelling?" The general at the front of the crowd turned cold as he shouted at the crowd in front of the Aloeswood Palace.

"Disperse! Anyone who disobeys will be punished as a traitor!!"

He drew his sword and pointed it at the gathered crowd.

Following his shouts, First Squad of soldiers surrounded the crowd from both sides, closing in on them.

"Shangguan Lian Yue, so it turns out that the person behind that Zhang Ying was actually him? This is going to be interesting." The Folding Fan Man at the tea stall said softly, his eyes darting around.

"Young master, do you know this person?" The woman beside him frowned slightly.

"This person is Spirit Noble, he rose through nepotism, his strength is decent, but he has a bad temper and no brains. Just wait and see what happens." The man smiled, turned and left the tea stall, strode away.

The woman quickly followed, and could still hear the general shouting behind her from time to time.

My friend's new book, "Caught You," has been released. It's pretty good; it's a blend of infinite flow, science fiction, suspense, and horror.

Three copies have been written so far; those who are interested can take a look.
