Shi Yong's Death! Ninth Grade Martial Art!

In the face of death, Shi Yong did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately pulling out the Mountain Severing Saber Art booklet from his chest!

He was now filled with fear towards Wang Xuan!

This kid was sickly just a few days ago, but in a mere two days, his archery had reached the Triple Star Shot realm!

This was a legendary realm!

None of the hunters within a hundred miles had ever reached this level of archery!

He still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Wang Xuan's expression was cold upon hearing this, his bow and arrow still aimed at him.

"Speak, how did my brother and father die?"

Shi Yong's body trembled as he said in fear:

"You... you promise to let me go, and I'll tell you!"

Wang Xuan's expression was indifferent.

"If you don't tell me, then you shall die!"

He pulled back the bowstring with his right hand, immediately causing a buzzing sound, scaring Shi Yong's face pale, and he quickly raised his hand to beg for mercy.

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

"The deaths of your father and brother were done by Zhou Bapi's men, who then framed it on the demons!"

"I was also instructed by him for the last incident."

"His goal is your sister-in-law, Lu Yao!"

Shi Yong knelt on the ground, his face full of regret.

"Little Shi, I've told you everything, please don't kill me!"

"I was wrong about what happened before, and I apologize to you!"

"I promise I won't trouble you again in the future, and even... I can help you learn martial arts!"

"My younger brother has already become a Martial Practitioner, as long as you let me go, you will have the opportunity to enter a martial arts school in the future!"

He seemed to be begging for mercy, but he was actually threatening Wang Xuan!

However!

Wang Xuan sneered, "Your younger brother has become a Martial Practitioner, that's really impressive!"

"But because of that, I can't let you live even more!"

"Besides, if I kill you, the martial art will also be mine."

"What, you..."

The arrow shot out!

In Shi Yong's terrified and desperate gaze, it directly pierced through his head!

Blood mixed together and splattered all over the ground!

[You killed an enemy with archery, Basic Archery experience +100, current Grand Completion progress 675/800]

The prompt from the crimson panel sounded, and Wang Xuan was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that killing someone would increase so much experience.

Wang Xuan put away his bow and arrow, came to Shi Yong's corpse, first collected the surrounding bows and arrows, and then picked up the booklet in his hand.

As for the broadsword, he did not take it away.

"Mountain Severing Saber Art, Ninth Grade Martial Art!"

Wang Xuan muttered, reciting the name and introduction on the booklet, and then opened the booklet, seeing the contents inside.

"So that's how it is..."

The first page of this Mountain Severing Saber Art wrote some introductions about the Martial Path.

Martial Practitioners can be divided into two major levels: Acquired Stage and Innate Stage, and the Acquired Stage is further divided into six realms of basic Martial Path.

These are Iron Skin, Dragon Serpent, Entangling Serpent, Jade Bone, Golden Blood, and Five Spirits, corresponding to the six parts of the human body: skin, flesh, tendons, bones, blood, and organs.

Breaking through the sixth realm, the Five Spirits realm, a wisp of Innate Qi will be born in the body, and the Innate Qi will wash over the flesh, shedding the mortal body and directly reaching the Innate Stage!

But!

It is very difficult to break through from the Acquired Stage to the Innate Stage, and there is no introduction about the Innate Stage on this Mountain Severing Saber Art.

As for martial arts.

They are divided into nine grades from bottom to top.

There are even stronger martial arts above the ninth grade, but it is not written on it. This Mountain Severing Saber Art is the most common Ninth Grade Martial Art.

Wang Xuan continued to flip through it, and soon roughly read through this Mountain Severing Saber Art.

The Mountain Severing Saber Art is not complicated, with a total of only seven moves, each move with illustrations, and the so-called Blood Essence flow secrets.

Cultivate to perfection, and the strength reaches a hundred jun!

Has the power to split mountains and sever peaks!

"This is a good thing; I'll practice it when I get back!"

Wang Xuan put away the booklet on the Mountain Severing Saber Art.

He then checked his stats panel.

[Sprint: Novice 124/200]

[Effect: Light as a Swallow]

"It's not even Minor Accomplishment yet, and it already has this kind of speed. If this were my past life, I'd at least be an Olympic champion!"

Wang Xuan said with a strange expression.

Ten meters in one step; this speed is practically superhuman by previous standards!

Then, his gaze fell on Shi Yong's corpse.

"What... should I do with this corpse?"

Wang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Awoo!"

Just then, a wolf howl came from the depths of Blackwind Mountain.

Wang Xuan grinned. "Looks like I don't have to deal with it!"

He didn't linger, cleaned up any traces he left behind, and returned to Shi Yong's house.

He hadn't forgotten that he'd left an arrow there.

Wang Xuan pulled out the arrow and pushed the door open.

"Shi Yong has been following Zhou Bapi for a while, and he even had money to send his younger brother to the martial arts school. He should have some savings, right?"

Wang Xuan muttered, starting to search Shi Yong's house. He quickly found a money bag under the rice vat.

It contained a good twenty or thirty taels of silver!

"Is this all the silver he has?"

Wang Xuan was a little disappointed.

"But now I have enough money to pay off my debts and taxes!"

Wang Xuan immediately pocketed the silver.

He then returned the room to its original state and quietly returned home.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning.

The sky was still dimly lit when Wang Xuan woke up early, packed his bow and arrows, hunting knife, dry food, and other supplies, and entered Blackwind Mountain.

He had killed Shi Yong last night and obtained the Mountain Severing Saber Art. He needed to find a place to practice it properly, and Blackwind Mountain was a good place to do so discreetly.

At this time, on the north side of the village.

Liu San and a few other hunters arrived at Shi Yong's house.

"Brother Yong, Brother Yong, are you home?"

Liu San shouted towards the courtyard.

But after several shouts, there was no response from the courtyard.

"What's going on? Where's Brother Yong?"

A man named Zhu Er frowned.

"Let's go in and take a look. Didn't we agree to ambush that kid Wang Xuan in the mountains today? If we go late, that kid might be gone!"

The group didn't hesitate and immediately went into the courtyard to search, but after pushing open the door, they didn't find Shi Yong's figure.

The group frowned even deeper.

"That's strange, where's Brother Yong?"

"Could it be... that he went to the mountains early to ambush that kid?"

Zhu Er and Liu San exchanged glances.

"Let's go, let's go to the mountains and take a look first."

"Maybe Brother Yong is already in the mountains."

The group discussed a few sentences and immediately decided to enter the mountains.

Half an hour later.

The group found Shi Yong's corpse in the mountains, already gnawed down to the bones. Blood flowed all over the ground, turning it blood red.

"That... that's Yong-ge's clothes!"

"Could it be that Yong-ge... is dead?"

Liu San and the others looked at the blood-soaked skeleton on the ground, their faces changing drastically as they felt their stomachs churning.

"It must be Yong-ge!"

"This unadorned saber is his!"

Another person yelled in terror.

"We're done for, how did Yong-ge die!"

"Could it be that he was caught by a demon and eaten?"

Liu San and the others exchanged glances, their faces pale!

Demons!

For them, it was a fear etched into their bones!

"Quick... let's go!"

"Quick, go back and notify Master Zhou!"

Whitecloud Town, Zhou Estate.

Zhou Laifu looked at the several hunters kneeling on the ground, his brow furrowed slightly.

"You're saying... Shi Yong was eaten by a demon?"

Zhou Laifu asked in disbelief.

Liu San nodded and said, "Yes."

"We went to look for Shi Yong, but we found that he wasn't at home. We thought he had gone to the mountain early to wait for that little bastard!"

"But when we got to the mountain, we found his body and unadorned saber. The body had been eaten clean by something. We suspect... he may have encountered a demon."

The words entered his ears.

Zhou Laifu's face immediately darkened.

"What demons are you talking about? He was probably eaten by wild beasts, what a waste!"

Zhou Laifu snorted coldly.

Shi Yong went into the mountains with an unadorned saber instead of a bow and arrow, probably to practice the martial art his younger brother gave him.

Others didn't know that Shi Yong was secretly learning the martial arts school's martial art, but he was clear about it.

Shi Yong died in the mountains, probably because he ran to the mountains to practice martial arts, and when he ran out of strength, he encountered a wild beast and was eaten!

As for demons, they only exist in the depths of Blackwind Mountain, how could they appear in the outer areas.

"By the way, what's the situation with that little bastard now? Haven't you killed him yet?"

Zhou Laifu asked again.

Liu San lowered his head and replied, "N... no."

"That kid seems like a different person now, he feels like he's gotten a lot stronger. He went into the mountains to hunt again today."

"Went into the mountains to hunt?"

Zhou Laifu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Alright, I understand, you can leave."

"You don't have to come here anymore in the future."

He directly dismissed them.

Liu San and the others were the most ordinary hunters, without any value, so they had no choice but to leave.

"Master, what do we do now?"

"I heard yesterday that this kid sold a lot of things at Eight Treasures Inn. If he goes into the mountains again today and gets good things..."

A steward-like person stepped forward and whispered.

A flash of murderous intent flashed in Zhou Laifu's eyes, "The Blood Sacrifice is in a few days, the more virgin blood collected, the better!"

"To prevent accidents, let Hou Feng take a trip and deal with that kid. That way, they won't be able to pay off their debt, and we can justifiably bring her back tomorrow."
