Am I the Only One Not? Is It Filled with Lead?

In Jiang Yi's hands!

It was like a long, human-shaped weapon!

Swinging it, it stirred up a fierce wind!

Smashing the charging gang members into disarray in an instant, their screams filled the air.

As for the minor leader used as a weapon, he fared even worse!

His bones were shattered, his flesh torn, and he was reduced to a soft, pulpy mess!

He was barely breathing!

"Bang!"

Jiang Yi casually tossed him onto the ground!

[Killed an enemy proficient in Fists and Feet, plundered 7 years of Lifespan.]

His surroundings were completely cleared!

No one who had charged up could stand, and no one could get back up.

All that met his eyes were those writhing in agony, severely wounded, and lying on the ground.

On the other side!

Zhang Hu was practically pinning Liu Zhanpeng, forcing him to constantly dodge, his movements unsteady.

Dong!!!

Liu Zhanpeng took a direct hit!

He staggered backward, his Blood Essence surging, his internal organs trembling. A mouthful of bloody sweetness rushed to his throat, flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

He ignored it, staring intently at Zhang Hu, his expression filled with shock!

"You actually broke through, entering the first minor realm of the Martial path!"

"Hahaha, you guessed right!

I've already entered the Skin Refining Realm and become a true Martial artist.

On the other hand, you, after all these days, haven't improved at all.

You weren't my match before, and you're even less so now!

Why don't you surrender quickly!

As long as you kneel before me and kowtow three times, perhaps I'll be in a good mood and consider--

Spare you, haha!"

"You wish!"

Liu Zhanpeng wiped the blood from his mouth, his face flushing red. Gritting his teeth, he continued to dodge... no, to resist.

As long as he could stop Zhang Hu, a Skin Refining Martial artist, the rest were not to be feared.

The disciples of the Fishing Guild would surely intervene.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

Zhang Hu sneered. His physique was like that of a ferocious beast, a savage aura flowing with every movement.

"You think I don't know what you're planning?"

"My men, charge with me!"

"Knock down his bluestone... huh?"

He glanced sideways and saw his gang members lying on the ground, groaning, and was suddenly stunned.

My men, why are they all down?!!

What happened?

Who did this?

Was it that young man standing in the middle, bathed in sunlight, clad in tattered gold?

Zhang Hu was momentarily distracted!

Liu Zhanpeng saw an opening and, without hesitation, unleashed the full power of his Half-step Skin Refining.

He took a wide step, raising his hand and launching a powerful strike!

He repelled Zhang Hu!

"Damn it, you're all seeking death!"

"Roar!"

Zhang Hu roared furiously, a sound that was neither wolf nor not wolf!

His entire body seemed to swell slightly.

His back arched, and he raised his head!

His exposed eyes were sinister, forming an inverted triangle, his pupils tinged with a brownish-yellow!

His pupils were almost vertical!

Like a pair of vicious, bloodthirsty wolf eyes, they lunged forward, swift as a wolf!

Liu Zhanpeng was startled, and quickly raised his arms, letting out a low shout, attempting to block.

"Crack!"

Waves of intense pain from his arms turned Liu Zhanpeng's face deathly pale as he gasped for air.

His body swayed, and with a "thump," he fell to the ground, his hands hanging limply.

He couldn't muster any strength at all!

The ulna bones in both his arms were likely broken!

"I originally wanted to play with you, but since you're so uncooperative, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhang Hu walked forward with a sinister grin and raised his foot, stomping down hard on one of Liu Zhanpeng's legs.

A fierce look flashed across his face!

He clearly intended to cripple Liu Zhanpeng's limbs and turn him into a useless person.

Even if he could recover!

Without several months of rest, it would be impossible.

"No!!!"

Just as his foot was about to descend, a whip-like blur suddenly swept in from the side.

The two collided!

It forcefully twisted Zhang Hu's descending foot, diverting its direction.

"Bang!"

Large cracks spread across the bluestone slabs on the ground!

"It's you!"

"Did you do all this?"

Zhang Hu steadied himself, his eyes flickering with uncertainty, filled with a vicious, bloodthirsty glint.

"Thank you..."

"Be careful, he's already crossed the threshold of the martial path and become a true martial artist!"

Liu Zhanpeng got up, gritting his teeth, and warned.

"I think we'll need to team up to resist him..."

Jiang Yi interrupted, "Me too."

Liu Zhanpeng: "..."

Alright, alright!

So I'm the only one who isn't, right?

I've made a fool of myself!

"Hmph, martial artists, even among martial artists, there are strong and weak.

At the same level, I, Zhang Hu, am invincible!"

"You injured so many of my men, I will break your limbs and cripple your cultivation."

Zhang Hu arched his back and bent his knees, his hands like claws, one forward and one back, a ferocious aura swirling around him.

He seemed to transform into a grey wolf roaming the mountains and forests, pouncing on its prey.

This was Jiang Yi's first time facing someone at the same level, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless!

As his fists and palms sliced through the air, his skin and membranes vibrated!

The sharp intent of Eagle Claw and the heavy intent of Mighty Rock gradually manifested within him.

Though the two were originally opposing, they now showed a subtle tendency to merge!

Boom!!!

Fists and claws clashed, bodies grappled, and invisible air exploded under the pressure.

Both men staggered back several steps!

They landed on the ground, their feet shattering the bluestone slabs!

"Is that all?"

Jiang Yi looked at Zhang Hu, who had retreated further than himself, and a judgment formed in his mind.

He was stronger!

And, he will only get stronger.

"Consume 10 years of Lifespan, simulate cultivation technique -- Cauldron Origin Art."

[Year 1, you begin to comprehend Cauldron Origin Art, analyzing its mental techniques and moves.]

[Year 3, through continuous attempts, you feel you can officially begin cultivating.]

[Year 7, your Cauldron Origin Art has reached an introductory level, achieving proficiency.]

[Same year, your Skin Refining Realm advances further.]

[Year 8, you discover your physical strength begins to increase.]

[Year 10, you do not stop, continuing to cultivate.]

[At this point, with every movement, you can casually exert a force of 500 jin.]

[If you unleash a full-power strike, it can reach 1000 jin!]

Jiang Yi felt his skin and muscles surge and expand, covering his entire body and becoming several times thicker!

It was like doubling in size!

The effect was even more astonishing than the two unranked techniques he had cultivated.

At the same time!

His Blood Essence churned within his body, his power level beginning to surge!

He leaped up, crossing several zhang, his arms spread wide like a grey wolf taking flight.

It was his turn to act!

His Eagle Claws were like hooks, sharp edges revealed, mixed with an incredibly heavy aura, like—

A falling Mighty Rock covered in thorns!

"Roar!"

Zhang Hu seemed to have his ferocity ignited, his hands forming claws as he met the attack.

But he had underestimated!

There was a difference between claws, after all!

When his wolf claws met Jiang Yi's eagle claws, his expression instantly changed.

He felt like he was grabbing onto a hard, large stone!

Conversely, the opponent's claws descended!

The sharp edges almost tore his skin.

Within them!

There was also a powerful force that penetrated his bones and muscles.

Causing his arm to swell, ache, and go numb!

What kind of claw technique is this? Is it filled with lead!
