Dark Force Peak

Crack, crack, crack!!!

The medicinal power of the Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng nourished every inch of his body.

His muscles and bones let out a series of crisp cracks.

Vast medicinal power surged through his body.

Like a great furnace, it erupted with an endless stream of energy.

"This medicinal power truly is astonishing!"

Fang Xing immediately rose to his feet and stepped out of the kitchen.

The Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng's medicinal power was even more immense than that of one-third of a Spirit Ginseng.

"Can't waste it."

Feeling the tremendous medicinal power raging within him, Fang Xing immediately began to practice.

First stance of the Demon Subduing Fist, Air-Breaking Style!

His fist flashed like lightning, force piercing through the air!

In the courtyard, even the leaves of the great locust tree trembled as they were drawn by his force.

The medicinal power within him began to be absorbed by his body through his practice.

Combined with the internal cultivation breathing method of the Demon Subduing Technique, his breathing entered a peculiar rhythm.

His qi and blood absorbed the medicinal power and grew stronger, while the force within his body increased bit by bit.

After all nine forms of the Demon Subduing Fist, Fang Xing was drenched in sweat.

His skin was flushed red.

Even his blood vessels seemed clearly visible.

Wisps of white vapor rose from above his head.

The Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng's medicinal power fused into him, strengthening his muscles and bones.

"Hah..."

Sitting beside the table, Fang Xing took a drink of water before continuing his practice of the Wind God Step.

Wind Catching Shadow!

His body was like a shooting star, swift as the wind!

Afterimages appeared one after another in the courtyard.

Invisible force swirled around his body.

The Wind God Step emphasized movement techniques and leg attacks.

Smack—!

A sweeping whip kick sent dozens of leg shadows flying out. The air shuddered, making the leaves of the great locust tree rustle violently.

Leaves fell one by one, yet before they could touch the ground, they were torn apart by force and reduced to powder.

He practiced the two martial arts over and over, gradually absorbing the Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng's medicinal power.

It was not until the moon hung high overhead that Fang Xing finally stopped.

He rinsed his body with icy well water. Under the moonlight, his sturdy muscles were revealed.

Compared to the beginning, after several months of martial arts training and ample energy supplementation,

aside from breakthroughs in cultivation, his body had grown taller.

His frame was lean and long.

Every inch of muscle contained astonishing strength.

After drying himself off, Fang Xing entered the house.

Lying on the bed, Fang Xing sensed the changes within his body.

The Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng's medicinal power was potent. Though he had consumed only a little, the improvement was substantial.

Compared with the medicinal power of Spirit Ginseng, the Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng was undoubtedly a level higher.

Though it had not grown as many years, the Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng had a stronger foundation. After enhancement, its effects could surpass those of Spirit Ginseng.

"As expected, Treasure Medicine is still far more effective. But if I cultivate like this, my Enhancement Points probably won't last much longer."

Fang Xing sighed inwardly.

With a thought, he summoned the Crimson Panel to inspect it.

Name: Fang Xing

Cultivation: Dark Force

Enhancement Level: One Star (49%)

Enhancement Points: 104

"One hundred and four. I can still enhance wild ginseng once. I'll accumulate them slowly."

After glancing at the panel information, Fang Xing closed his eyes.

Cultivation could not be rushed!

With powerful resources supporting him, his progress was already exceptionally astonishing.

Once he reached the Dark Force peak and began the cleanup plan, he could reap a great harvest.

At the same time, while accumulating resources, he would polish his martial arts.

With further progress in his two superior martial arts, his strength could undergo a leap in growth.

Several days passed.

Ever since Fang Xing had assumed the position of Chief Constable, quite a few factions had offered him benefits.

Aside from the small and medium-sized factions, the five major factions had also extended olive branches.

Fang Xing did not refuse the overtures of any faction.

He would accept the benefits, but when the time came for reckoning, he would not be lenient.

Since he had taken this position, it was better to make his footing more secure.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

There had been no disturbances that month.

He spent most of each day cultivating. As for management, he had largely delegated it to the four Constables.

Increasing his strength was his most urgent priority.

He had no time to waste on power struggles.

Early morning.

In the courtyard, Fang Xing wore a short jacket as he practiced the Demon Subduing Technique.

For the past month, he had improved every day.

Nourishment from food and medicine.

With the support of both, his progress could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.

In a month, he had reached the late stage of Dark Force.

Though he had not reached the ideal Dark Force peak, breaking through to the late stage of Dark Force in a single month was absolutely astonishing progress.

Smack—!

His fist shot forward, swift as lightning, and the air gave a sharp boom.

After throwing the final form of the Demon Subduing Fist, Fang Xing suddenly went still.

Bzzzz—!!!

Invisible force swirled around him, stirring the air into a vortex.

A vast aura spread from his body.

A realization arose within his heart.

Beneath his feet, the Yongquan acupoints opened, and he sensed the boundless, weighty power of the earth.

Crack, crack, crack!!!

A sound like beans exploding in a wok rang out within his body as his muscles and bones resounded in unison.

His force flowed around his body like a flood, and his aura instantly rose to its peak.

Smack—!

Suddenly, he threw a punch. Invisible force spread outward, and his immense aura flooded the entire courtyard.

The great willow tree by the street outside seemed to be affected by something. Its branches shook, and its leaves scattered wildly.

"Dark Force peak!"

At that moment, Fang Xing abruptly came back to himself.

His cultivation had broken through its barrier in one stroke, rising from the late stage of Dark Force to the Dark Force peak.

The difference was only a small step, yet his force had abruptly increased threefold.

Mighty Demon Subduing Force circulated within him as a vast aura surged around his body.

Standing there, he resembled a man-eating tiger.

His aura alone could inflict powerful spiritual intimidation upon ordinary people.

"It's finally done." Breaking through to the Dark Force peak was an unexpected delight.

He had originally estimated that it would take another seven or eight days to break through.

Yet in that instant, realization had struck, and he had comprehended his martial arts, allowing him to take this step in one go.

He had saved several days of effort.

Dark Force peak!

His force could kill a Bright Force martial artist from one zhang away.

The gap between the late stage and the peak seemed small, but only after truly taking that step could one understand how powerful it was.

Exhaling, Fang Xing reined in his aura and sensed the Demon Subduing Force within his body.

Demon Subduing Force permeated his entire body.

It gave him an exceedingly solid feeling.

It had taken roughly half a year for him to rise to his current level.

No one would believe such a transformation if he told them.

Looking across all of Qingshan County, his strength had now entered the ranks of the upper echelon.

Now, only Transformation Force martial artists could suppress him!

"I wonder how great the gap still is between me and a Transformation Force martial artist, given my mastery of two superior martial arts..."

The thought flashed through Fang Xing's mind.

Transformation Force—the final Dragon Gate of the Three Foundation Establishment Realms!

Force became perfectly integrated, inside and out fully connected, body and nature as one!

There was a vast gap between the Dark Force peak and Transformation Force. The leap over the Dragon Gate was no mere saying.

A transformation of essence!

Transformation Force martial artists held great standing in the martial world. Perhaps they were nothing in a major prefecture, but in an ordinary small place,

a Transformation Force martial artist was a towering tree that ordinary people could only look up to!

Fang Xing estimated that he could at most contend with one for a few moves.

Though he had cultivated two superior martial arts, other Transformation Force martial artists were no pushovers either.

Even if their martial arts were inferior to his, their cultivation could overpower him. Such a gap was not so easily bridged.

Though he had ample confidence in himself, he was not arrogant enough to think he could clash head-on with Transformation Force.

"Though I am no match for Transformation Force, within Dark Force... I should have no enemies."

Fang Xing's eyes shone brightly. Looking at the rising sun on the horizon, heroic spirit surged within his heart.

He had broken through. Then the cleanup plan could be put into action.
