Spear Drawn Like a Dragon

Above the Dragon Gate Waterfall.

Dragon Head Peak, by the cliff edge.

Although An Ning'er practiced martial arts, she didn't understand spear techniques. Seeing Uncle Chen still meditating with his eyes closed, she turned and whispered to Guo Xi'wu beside her:

"Brother Guo, can you tell what kind of spear technique this Constable Zhang is using?"

Guo Xi'wu had learned spear techniques from Uncle Chen. He immediately replied, "Basic stances in spear techniques include thrusting, stabbing, flicking, parrying, blocking, grasping, twisting, lifting, sweeping, pressing, chopping, exploding, and twirling.

However, most of these stances require holding the spear with both hands. Judging by Constable Zhang's posture, he seems to intend to use a single-handed grip."

An Ning'er asked, "Single-handed grip?! Is there a specific meaning to that?"

Guo Xi'wu said, "I once heard Master Chen say that the opening move for a single-handed spear grip usually connects with sweeping, chopping, or exploding spear moves. But these moves place extremely high demands on the user's physique and arm strength.

Furthermore, in practical application, this technique consumes a significant amount of stamina. Therefore, in actual combat, spear masters rarely use it as an opening move."

Upon hearing this, An Ning'er's mind immediately recalled what Meng Qingshan had said when he appeared from behind the cliff. She murmured worriedly, "If Constable Zhang can't defeat these people, haven't we unintentionally put him in danger..."

We're barely hanging on to our lives, how can Ning'er still worry about others? Guo Xi'wu thought to himself.

However, mindful of the young lady's opinion, he didn't voice his thoughts directly.

He said with a slightly pale face, "Since Constable Zhang chose to intervene, his strength must be extraordinary. Let's just wait and see!"

In fact, what Guo Xi'wu said wasn't wrong. Meng Qingshan's stance was precisely an opening move from the Mountain Breaking Spear Technique, designed to counter aggression with stillness, named 'Grandfather Fishing'.

The subsequent moves, as Guo Xi'wu mentioned, required high physique and arm strength, and consumed a great deal of stamina.

Although Meng Qingshan had recovered some stamina after drinking the fine wine called 'White Jade Fat', with his current physical condition, he certainly couldn't fight these men in black for long.

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence; dragging things out is unwise.

Moreover, after drinking the 'White Jade Fat', he gained considerable attribute bonuses, with significant increases in Physique and Strength.

Paired with a heavy weapon like the Divine Might Hundred Refined Spear, finishing the fight quickly using the Mountain Breaking Spear Technique was undoubtedly the best solution under the current circumstances.

Meng Qingshan held his spear, his body like a pine tree, his feet rooted to the ground, as if he had merged with the spear.

He took a deep breath, True Qi surged within him, and the spear trembled slightly, emitting a low hum, as if dragons and snakes were moving within it.

Only when the men in black were about to charge at him did he suddenly kick the spear shaft.

The spear, under the force, instantly leaped up like a submerged dragon.

With a loud "Bang!", accompanied by the sound of cracking bones.

The spearhead struck a man in black on the chin. Meng Qingshan had used seventy percent of his strength in this kick, its power astonishing.

This blow carried a force of at least six to seven hundred jin.

The man in black instantly couldn't withstand the heavy impact, his jaw shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and he was flung away like an object lifted by immense force.

Before he could hit the ground, Meng Qingshan swung his arm, wielding the spear. The Divine Might Hundred Refined Spear, weighing seventy-two jin, instantly turned into a whirlwind. Pivoting on his right foot, it drew a perfect arc in the air.

This move was precisely 'Sweep Through a Thousand Armies' from the Mountain Breaking Spear Technique.

At this moment, the spear was like a fierce dragon breaking free from its restraints, roaring from the abyss, ready to devour any life that dared to challenge it.

Seven or eight men in black were simultaneously sent flying. Some had broken hand bones, others had crushed chests, their deaths gruesome.

Meng Qingshan, wielding the Divine Might Hundred Refined Spear, was like a reincarnated divine general, immensely powerful. Wherever he went, there was no survival.

The seven or eight men who were sent flying also knocked down a swath of the men behind them, their screams echoing.

The remaining men in black, seeing this, were instantly filled with fear and dared not advance.

[You have successfully killed Chen Zhan, a Beyond Heaven assassin, and gained 1200 Cultivation!]

[You have successfully killed a Beyond Heaven assassin...]

[You have successfully killed...]

Looking at the constantly refreshing kill notifications before him, Meng Qingshan's heart surged with emotion and heroic spirit.

He recalled that just half a month ago, he had struggled to fight against Chen Sandao and his bandits. If not for a moment of inspiration, he would have almost lost his life.

Yet now, he had killed seven or eight people of similar strength to Chen Sandao with ease, without even fully executing a single move.

This exhilarating feeling was unprecedented.

Meng Qingshan looked towards the leader of the men in black and laughed heartily, "Didn't you want to witness the strength of a Seven Mysteries Sect constable? Hurry and come fight me, Zhang!"

Within a single breath, Meng Qingshan had killed several people while speaking and laughing.

Although An Ning'er knew nothing about spear techniques, witnessing Meng Qingshan, with just one move, send that group of men in black into disarray, forcing them to retreat with no one daring to approach, she was instantly deeply shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "What magnificent spear work!"

Beside her, Guo Xi'wu, who had learned spear techniques from Master Chen, saw this scene and felt a different set of emotions deep within his heart.
