Overpowering Two Martial Artists

After passing through a side road and turning back onto the main road, the driver's tense mood eased slightly.

"They've caught up," Chen Xu's indifferent voice echoed through the car.

The driver hurriedly looked into the rearview mirror and saw a military Hummer charging out of the side road.

"Their vehicle has been specially modified!" The driver had already floored the accelerator, yet he could only watch helplessly as the distance between the two cars steadily shrank.

"Mr. Chen, what's caught up?" Nie Mengyin asked sleepily, yawning.

As the two vehicles drew closer, an invisible aura suddenly erupted from the Hummer behind them.

Chen Xu snorted coldly and, without hesitation, grabbed the mother and daughter who had been knocked unconscious by the shockwave, smashing through the car roof.

"Martial Artists?"

Evil Old Ghost and Blind Old Ghost's auras surged as they shot out of the Hummer.

The vehicles speeding along the highway lost control, erupting in ear-piercing crashes.

Chen Xu gently set the unconscious mother and daughter down far from the collisions, then turned to look at the two approaching Martial Artists.

"Hehehe, this is quite the unexpected gain." Evil Old Ghost wore an exaggerated expression, but the gravity in his eyes never lessened. "Perhaps I'll get to enjoy a Martial Artist's blood ahead of schedule."

"Even with the two of us, we absolutely cannot underestimate him." Blind Old Ghost extended a walking stick from his sleeve. A towering monster with hollow eyes appeared in the air, seventeen small points across its body glowing with fluorescent light.

Amid Evil Old Ghost's strange laughter, a monster bearing fifteen glowing points emerged.

Their powerful auras multiplied severalfold in an instant, crashing down upon Chen Xu with overwhelming force.

"So this is what Millya meant by aura coming first when powerful fighters clash." Chen Xu recalled Millya's words and suddenly stepped forward. Behind him emerged a colossal beast roaring toward the heavens.

Yet aside from two or three heads that looked vividly real, the rest was only barely outlined, like an unfinished painting.

Even so, it showed no hint of weakness before the two monsters.

"Only one Essence Aperture activated?" Evil Old Ghost rushed forward, clawing at Chen Xu's face.

Evil Old Ghost flew backward at even greater speed, smashing through several cars in succession.

Having returned to his normal size, Chen Xu stomped the ground and charged at Blind Old Ghost.

"So fierce?" Blind Old Ghost had never imagined that Evil Old Ghost, who had opened more than ten more Essence Apertures than his opponent, would be forced into a disadvantage in their first clash.

How could he have known that Chen Xu's foundation stood worlds apart from that of an ordinary Martial Artist?

Blind Old Ghost angled his walking stick, deliberately avoiding a head-on confrontation.

Chen Xu's skin took on a bronze hue. Without dodging or evading, the small giant seemingly cast from bronze and iron raised his fist and smashed it down.

Blind Old Ghost's face turned deathly pale as he vomited blood, trying to pull away and retreat.

Fighting alone, neither of them was a match for this Martial Artist.

"Holy shit, what the hell is going on up ahead?"

The vehicle behind them slammed on its brakes. The accident scene ahead looked extraordinarily gruesome, and the driver hurriedly pulled out his phone to call people from Qianshui Commandery to deal with it.

"Honey, look at those three people. Could the accident scene be a set? Are they filming a movie?" The woman in the passenger seat focused on Chen Xu and the other two as they fought madly.

More and more vehicles gathered behind them. A few bold drivers even got out and approached, wanting a clearer look.

"There's no need to risk our lives over a small job."

Evil Old Ghost and Blind Old Ghost began to think of retreating. They had only planned to make some extra money while passing through. Who would have thought they would encounter a Martial Artist—and such a powerful one at that?

After being sent flying by Chen Xu once more, the two turned and fled, rapidly disappearing into the distance.

"They ran?"

Chen Xu's task was protection, so naturally he would not do something thankless and exhausting like chasing them down.

After glancing at the drivers behind him, he turned back, grabbed the mother and daughter one in each hand, and ran toward Qianshui Commandery.

Martial Artists possessed tremendous endurance. They would not tire even after running like this for several hours, much less someone as abnormal among Martial Artists as him.

Of course, to prevent the Great Abyss from tracing him through the clues, Chen Xu not only altered his appearance but also tried to travel through uninhabited areas.

"M-Mr. Chen, what... what exactly is going on?" Nie Mengyin squeezed her eyes shut. When she had opened them just now, she had nearly been scared to death.

Everything had been fine in the car, so why had she suddenly passed out? When she woke up, Mr. Chen had her tucked beneath his arm while running. She had too many questions and did not even know where to begin.

"It's nothing. Go back to sleep. When you wake up, we'll be in Qianshui Commandery." Chen Xu had no intention of explaining anything. He only needed to deliver the two of them safely into his father-in-law's hands at Ling Xiangshan.

"How could I possibly sleep in this situation?" Nie Mengyin's gaze fell on her daughter beneath Chen Xu's other arm, calming her somewhat.

"It's fine. I'll help you." Chen Xu's emotionless voice reached Nie Mengyin's ears.

Before she could speak again, Chen Xu's invisible aura erupted, and the woman beneath his arm was immediately knocked unconscious.

Thus, the mother and daughter endlessly cycled between unconsciousness, waking up, and unconsciousness again.

Lucky Arrival Inn.

"Boss, one room."

The drowsy innkeeper was startled awake by Chen Xu's words and instinctively looked up.

"Two unconscious women and a sturdily built young man." The innkeeper could not help casting sympathetic looks toward the mother and daughter.

However, he did not say a word. After taking the money, he silently handed over a room key.

When he was younger, he would meddle in such matters. Unfortunately, he had later been taught a lesson by some so-called big brother. By now, he had become the sort of person who kept his head down when something had nothing to do with him.

As long as it did not affect his inn, he would pretend not to see anything he could avoid seeing.

Chen Xu wrapped the mother and daughter in a blanket so they would not catch cold.

After all, floors really were easy to catch a chill from.

Chen Xu lay on the bed and summoned Tianwu.

Strength: 24.2

Constitution: 30.5

Agility: 20.8

Energy: 16.0 (Blood-Qi Force)

Spirit Energy: 5.16

Martial Arts: Martial Form, One Aperture (Beast Bronze Statue)

Martial Techniques: Myriad Beasts Bronze Statue Art (Third Layer), Incomplete Life-Nourishing Breakthrough Method (Ninth Layer), Blood Surge Through the Nine Apertures (MAX, can be fused)

Special Effects: Beast's Will Level 2, Colossal Beast Physique Level 5, Aerial Leap Level 11.

Every attribute had increased slightly because he had activated an Essence Aperture.

He was not particularly enthusiastic about activating Essence Apertures. After all, in theory, he could stack Martial Techniques infinitely to raise his attributes and become invincible beneath the heavens.

The Martial Artist system of this world was merely a bonus to him. After each breakthrough, it could raise quite a few attributes.

Once matters in Jinning Commandery were settled, barring any surprises, he could head to the very center of the Great Abyss to enjoy resources far superior to those in Jinning Commandery and learn even more powerful Martial Techniques.

If he had a choice, Chen Xu would rather find somewhere to hide, lie low until he became invincible beneath the heavens, then emerge to punch the South Mountain nursing home and kick the North Sea kindergarten.

Unfortunately, his predecessor had already proven that his talent was insufficient. Chen Xu estimated that even if he obtained the world's greatest ultimate art and studied it painstakingly for a lifetime, he might not even be able to get started.

After nearly ten years of hard training, he had still failed to even begin learning Tiger Howl Fist. That level of talent was no joke.

The only thing he could rely on was spirit energy, but spirit energy could not appear out of thin air. Chen Xu could only abandon the idea of lying low and work hard to earn spirit energy and increase his strength.
