Zhang Hu's legs bent, the bones in his raised arms cracking as he blocked.
It was as if he couldn't withstand this surge of strength!
He was at a disadvantage.
He was defeated.
He was no match for him.
"Impossible, I'm the invincible one!"
Zhang Hu roared in disbelief, his face contorted in a savage grimace, the beastly aura around him surging once more.
He raised his hand, transforming it into a wolf's claw again, exuding a ruthless and bloodthirsty aura as he fiercely slashed towards Jiang Yi's abdomen.
He intended to trade injuries, to rip open his belly!
As if sensing a hint of danger!
Jiang Yi's body tensed instinctively, the Blood Essence within him churning, the skin and membranes of his entire body bulging.
It was as if a thick layer of leather armor had been added!
"Riiip!!!"
The coarse linen clothes tore apart, the fabric utterly unable to withstand the ferocity. The claw marks, still carrying undiminished power, landed directly on him.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud!
It sounded like a strike against a tough, taut oxhide drum.
Zhang Hu's expression froze, disbelief in his eyes!
This was his all-out attack, yet it had only shredded his robes and left a few white scratches on his body!
It was as if it had no effect at all!
"Impossible, how is this possible?"
"Hmph!"
Jiang Yi glanced over!
Although the claw's force hadn't pierced his skin, a burning pain shot through his nerves!
"It's only polite to reciprocate!"
His gaze turned cold, all his strength converging. He brought his arms together, raising them high above his head!
As if lifting a massive hammer, he swung it down with all his might!
The surrounding air was compressed to the point of almost exploding!
Zhang Hu's expression changed drastically. Knowing he couldn't dodge this blow, he could only retract his arms, crossing them in front of his chest, hoping to block it.
Boom!!!
The force of a thousand pounds descended. The moment they collided, his arms twisted, the radius and ulna bones shattering!
The ferocious power continued unabated, striking directly at his chest!
Zhang Hu was sent flying back three to four zhang, crashing heavily onto the stone bridge separating the two streets.
The stone bridge trembled!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs, clearly severely wounded.
Seeing Jiang Yi walk towards him!
He tried to struggle to his feet.
"Crack!"
Jiang Yi raised a foot and stepped on one of his legs, crushing its bones and tendons.
He had said earlier he would cripple his limbs!
So, he didn't mind returning the favor!
"Ah!"
Zhang Hu cried out in pain, his face pale with fear.
"You... what do you want?"
"I'm the young master of the Evil Wolf Gang! If you dare touch me, my father won't let you off!"
However, the response he received was--
"Crack!"
Another bone-shattering sound, and his other leg was crippled by Jiang Yi.
Now, all four limbs were crippled, completing the set!
At the same time!
At the end of White Willow Street, on the other side of the stone bridge, a roar suddenly came.
"Stop right there!"
Faintly visible, a black figure was rapidly charging over!
Less than a breath's time!
The black figure had already closed in, roaring like thunder, and struck down with a palm, the fierce wind scattering everywhere!
Jiang Yi's brow furrowed slightly, his body instantly tensing up!
He felt a threat from that palm strike!
Without the slightest hesitation!
He formed his hands into fists, power rising from his body!
Using the charging fist technique, he unleashed all his strength, meeting the incoming palm in a brutal, head-on collision!
The two forces clashed violently!
Jiang Yi was sent flying back, retreating seven or eight steps before finally stopping.
Each step he took landed on the bluestone slabs, leaving a deep imprint!
"The second minor realm of the martial path, the Muscle-refining realm?"
Jiang Yi's arms felt numb!
He could feel that the power of that palm strike far surpassed his own.
In contrast, the black figure only retreated two or three steps before steadying itself.
"Sixth Uncle, he crippled my limbs, you must avenge me!"
Zhang Hu, groaning in pain, was overjoyed to see the newcomer, then filled with intense hatred!
"Kill him, kill him for me!"
The man called Sixth Uncle looked down at Zhang Hu, lying on the ground covered in blood!
His anger flared instantly!
His already fierce face began to contort!
He looked even more ferocious!
He turned and stared fixedly at Jiang Yi, his eyes sinister and filled with killing intent!
"Kid, you have some nerve! Die!"
Just as Jiang Yi was on high alert, already allocating a sliver of his focus, preparing to consume Lifespan to simulate Martial arts techniques!
From behind him, a tall, upright figure flew out first!
"Get lost!"
With a cold snort, the figure simply kicked the man, sending him flying and spitting blood, rolling several times on the ground.
"Who?!!"
The man was terrified, quickly scrambling to his feet!
When he looked up and saw the tall figure clearly, he cried out in shock!
"It's you, Liu... Liu Sheng?"
"Hmph? Do I need to say it a second time?"
The man gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:
"Good, good, good!"
"You just wait, I'll report this to my Gang Leader! This isn't over!"
"Heh, not over? Then have him come to my Fishing Guild in person!"
The tall figure lunged forward!
The man, startled, stumbled backward repeatedly, then turned, picked up Zhang Hu from the ground, and quickly retreated.
As for the other members of the Evil Wolf Gang!
Those who weren't dead began to get up one after another, supporting each other. The few who were less injured dragged the three corpses that were already growing cold!
Under the watchful eyes of the Fishing Guild disciples, they left in disgrace!
Qingshi Street returned to peace once more!
"Father, you're here!"
Liu Zhanpeng walked up to Liu Sheng, his head lowered!
"Slap!"
Liu Sheng turned around and slapped him directly on the forehead!
"Look at you, you pathetic wretch!"
"Wasn't that Zhang Hu just now? He's the same age as you and is already a Skin Refining Realm martial artist! What are you doing, you damn brat?
You spend all day arguing about this and that!"
Liu Sheng, disappointed that his son wasn't living up to his potential, raised his hand and smacked him on the head again!
"I'm telling you, only strength, strength is the most important thing!
Without strength, everything else is an illusion!
If Nephew Yi hadn't been here today, you'd probably be more than just a little injured. And you still want to be a stall owner?"
"Get back home. Don't even think about stepping out of the courtyard until you've broken through to the Skin Refining Realm."
"If you dare to leave, I'll break your damn legs!"
"Yes, Father!"
Liu Zhanpeng nodded dejectedly.
Before leaving, he glanced gratefully at Jiang Yi and slunk away!
After watching Liu Zhanpeng leave!
Liu Sheng let out an angry snort, his body trembling, and then turned to look at Jiang Yi!
His expression changed instantly!
The furious anger melted away rapidly, replaced by a brilliant smile.
"Good kid, I wasn't wrong about you, you really did it!"
"It's only your first day as a stall owner, and you've already crippled that mongrel lackey of the Evil Wolf Gang!"
"Excellent, well done!"
He clapped Jiang Yi on the shoulder, laughing heartily!
"That's how it should be, what a piece of trash!"
"If you don't teach them a harsh lesson, they'll be stepping all over our Fishing Guild!"
