In the morning glow.

Three bald heads walked into Southern Tiger's house.

Eastern Dragon, Western Phoenix, Northern Leopard!

The three of them also lived in Dust Broken Fang Square, not far from here, so they came quickly.

Except for them, most of the members of the Viper Gang came, and they stayed outside the gate, talking with each other and everyone was wearing expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Southern Tiger is dead?

How is this possible?

Many people present witnessed Southern Tiger challenge Song Lu, the leader of the Wolf Head Gang, and the two sides fought to a stand still.

It can be said that no one in this town can kill Southern Tiger unless a certain instructor takes action or the other Vipers made a move.

"Has anyone moved the scene?"

West Phoenix walked outside the room, looked at the maid who was pale and still vomiting, and asked.

"no……"

The maid said tremblingly.

West Phoenix stretched her head to look inside the room, and when she saw it, her pupils shrunk inwardly, her expression changed drastically, her face was gloomy and solemn, and there was a hint of fear.

Seeing this, Eastern Dragon and North Leopard also stretched out their heads to look at them. They were instantly stunned, and their breathing became stagnant.

After a while, Diao Mao walked over unhurriedly and glanced around the room, but there was no expression on his face.

"Master, the murderer must be a master. Can you see the realm of this attacker?" Western Phoenix asked.

Diao Mao: "If he can knock out the upper body of Southern Tiger at the third level of blood energy, this person is at least a master at the level of 'changing tendons'."

As soon as the words came out!

The three of Western Phoneix's group changed color in horror.

The first mortal realms of martial artist practice: alienating blood, changing tendons, forging bones, strengthening viscera, and refining spirit!

A martial artist of the Changing Tendon realm is qualified to become a "teacher"!

This means that the killer who killed Southern Tiger was a master of the same rank as Diao Mao.

"The murderer, could it be Hu Piao?"

Eastern Dragon doubted, "After all, we killed so many apprentices of that surnamed Hu. This old guy was injured before and swallowed his anger, but his injury should be almost healed by now."

Northern Tiger nodded and said, "Well, maybe that old guy did it."

Diao Mao rolled his eyes and said, "If Hu Piao wanted to kill you, why did he only kill Southern Tiger, and the three of you are still alive? If Hu Piao wants to take revenge, shouldn't he come to me to discuss it? Besides, Hu Piao practices the Ruling Spirit Kung Fu which yes attacks from the inside as seen here but the characteristics are too different, the strength attribute cultivated ignores defenses and shocks the internals like shockwaves, and Southern Tiger died of some kind of 'exploding' power internally, so how could he be the murderer?"

The gunpowder combined with the special ash actually left few traces, moreover, in a funny coincidence, it was Southern Tiger’s own blood energy mixed with a punch coated in blood energy from Xun Xie that fully activated the internal bomb, so it wasn’t wrong to say that the explosion was mainly done by blood force.

If they had the skills and expertise to inspect the corpse thoroughly they would have discovered that this ‘Changing Tendons’ master was mere Blood Force Double martial artist at the peak of the second level of ‘alienating blood’.

Eastern Dragon and Northern Tiger looked at each other and were speechless.

Western Phoenix narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Who is the one with the internal burst attribute? It's definitely not the other three coaches. Could it be that there are other masters in Blue Grain Town?"

Diao Mao: "This town of Blue Grain is one of the granaries of the Hei Yun family. It has an advantageous geographical location and is guarded by experts in the surrounding areas, so they can live a stable life. Therefore, many experts in the rivers and lakes will choose to live in such a place without competition when they reach their old age. Local retirement. In Blue Grain Town, there are indeed masters living in seclusion."

Western Phoenix: "Southern Tiger must have done something to provoke a certain reclusive master. If you follow this line, you will be able to find out."

Diao Mao raised his eyebrows and said, "So what if we find out? They are not weak, so are they afraid of us investigating?"

Western Phoenix's face was ugly for a while: "Master, what are your thoughts?"

Diao Mao was silent: "I'll go to visit some old friends and ask who killed the Southern Tiger, it depends on the situation. If they are stronger than me, hehe, then we can only admit it."

……

When Xun Xie woke up, he was very full of energy and felt in a good mood. He lay on the bed and did some light push-ups.

Done, a thousand!

Cool!

So easy!

He got dressed and got out of bed, washed his face, and his mood suddenly became better, he was extremely happy.

Afterward, Xun Xie began to practice ruling spirit skills as usual...

It was almost the afternoon with the sun at its peak.

The maid Lan Yue ran over and shouted excitedly, "Young Master, something has happened! The Southern Tiger who helped form the poisonous snake gang was killed!"

Xun Xie raised his head.

It was only now that he understood why he was in such a good mood today.

It turned out that there were some things he wanted to do for a long time, but he had been suppressing them in his heart, and finally, he was released from the emotional and spiritual constipation last night.

A new way to decompress and relieve stress: Kill the bad guys!

In the evening, the masked old man Hu came.

"Southern Tiger is dead, does Mr. Hu know who killed it?" Xun Xie asked lightly.

Old Man Hu snorted: "Doing a lot of injustice will lead to retribution. People who practice martial arts know the power and danger of martial arts, and they will not use force easily for fear of a higher mountain crushing them. The four disciples of Diao Mao must have provoked some hard stubble who is stronger. These trivial things, don't worry about it, just concentrate on practicing your own martial arts."

"Okay." Xun Xie smiled.

At night, clouds and smoke drifted.

Duan San and the others were holding incense and praying again, while Xun Xie frantically swallowed the incense to nourish the yin spirit.

Fortunately, it wasn’t poisonous as said in some tales, Xun Xie shivered when he remembered but it was too late, but he was worrying for nothing.

Like the Monkey king and God Pangu having different origins, the same myths had different telling, fortunately, incense was a good thing in this world.

In an instant, two weeks have passed.

This morning, Xun Xie was working hard practicing Ruling Spirit Kungfu in the yard. As he practiced, he only felt a sudden surge of blood in his body like a dam had burst, overflowing uncontrollably, covering his entire body.

Xun Xie was startled for a moment, then examined his body.

Under the bright sunshine, Xun Xie's whole body glowed like a light bulb, and he was covered with a sticky layer of blood, thick like mercury.

It's like blood vigor, forming a protective layer of blood mercury armor!

"The third layer of blood energy, I finally broke through!"

Xun Xie was overjoyed, hurried into the room, and got into the bed under the covers.

In the darkness, as expected, the radiance of blood energy is as bright as the stars, like the silver light of stars shining in the clear night sky.

"It's not easy. I didn't expect that from the second level of blood energy to the third level, it took me five or six months to break through." Xun Xie sighed softly, feeling that his physical talent was a little bit too poor. If there are treasures to improve talent, then he must find them.

It's a pity that the stone lottery wheel is an auxiliary plug-in and will not directly change his physical talent. Even if it is the Great Clarity plug-in, it will only make him a genius momentarily.

At night.

Xun Xie stood in the yard with his eyes closed. Suddenly he felt something, and the moment he opened his eyes, he tilted his head, just in time to see a masked man quickly approaching.

"Huh?"

The masked man stopped abruptly, looked at Xun Xie twice, and was surprised, "You just noticed me coming?"

Xun Xie nodded lightly with a smile on his face.

"You, you, you have broken through the third level of blood energy!" Old Man Hu suddenly realized this and his voice was full of surprise.

Xun Xie: "Mr. Hu, how long does it usually take to go from the second level to the third level of blood energy?"

Old Man Hu was a little silent: "Do you still remember Sun Bin? He is the one with the best martial arts talent among the apprentices I have taught. He spent almost four and a half years."

Xun Xie groaned in his heart, he didn't know if he didn't compare, so I'm so awesome! Half a year to others 4 and a half!

Old Man Hu waved his hand: "The road to martial arts has no end, so don't be too complacent about it. It's the right way to work hard and concentrate on cultivation. Don't forget, blood energy is divided into five layers. There are even higher realms above remember. You are not like those noble children with talented bloodlines and rich supplementary resources inaccessible to ordinary folk."

Xun Xie calmed down: "Then how should I practice moves next?"

Old Man Hu: "I'll pass on your moves to achieve the third layer of Ruling Spirit Kung Fu. It's still a way to strengthen blood energy. We want to make the blood energy covering the whole body thicker. Remember martial arts is a step-by-step process against the heavens.”

Xun Xie cheered up and listened quietly.

Old Man Hu continued: "After breaking through the third level of blood energy, blood energy can cover the whole body, and automatically protect against attacks but the total amount of blood energy is still limited. If you use it all the time, it will only last for one stick of incense at most. What we need to do is to extend the coverage time. If you can maintain it for twelve sticks of incense, then you will break through the fourth level of blood energy. However, this process may be very slow, and it takes five to ten years or even ten or twenty years to accumulate blood energy to break through to the fourth level. We are ordinary people without special help after all. This state is called 'light like a burning furnace'.”

Xun Xie's mind quickly became clear.

One stick of incense is not fifteen minutes here but about half an hour, and twelve sticks of incense are six hours.

The next step was the increase the thickness of the thin 'armor'.
