Chapter 160: Another breakthrough in the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skills, and a Guardian Incense
Looking at the old servant who had fallen from mid-air, Shen Qing straightened out the wrinkles on his chest caused by the group of heads, his face calm.

“Although Dragon Roar Iron Shirt has only reached a minor level of success and is not an extremely advanced martial art, once it is mastered, even a martial artist at the Qi Cultivation Stage will not be able to break through the outermost layer of the membrane.”

"This is my first time fighting a martial artist at the Qi Cultivation Stage. This membrane is much stronger than I imagined."

Shen Qing put away the heavy bow, and suddenly his consciousness was shaken.

Lines of ink text appeared in his sight on the ink panel.

After continuous use, the Nine Revolutions Profound Art has unknowingly met the conditions for a breakthrough.

[Skills: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skills (Proficient/Fourth Revolution)]

[Progress: 501/500 points]

[Status: Upgradable]

[Note: The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art is a martial art that reverses qi and blood. It contains violent strength and places a great burden on the body. The more powerful it is in the later stages, the heavier the burden. With continued breakthroughs, there is a certain probability that a transformation will occur, erasing the negative effects.]

Shen Qing frowned slightly.

So far, due to the existence of the Blood Domination Technique, not only is his blood volume different from that of ordinary people, but his recovery speed is also extremely fast.

Therefore, the side effects of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art were not very serious to him.

This is mostly because this technique is still at a relatively low level.

As the level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art becomes higher and higher, the side effects will definitely become more obvious. It will definitely be a good thing for him if he can eliminate this side effect later.

Shen Qing took a deep breath and without thinking too much, focused his consciousness directly on the ink panel.

The next moment, the information on the ink panel was refreshed immediately.

[Skills: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skills (Minor Success/Fifth Revolution)]

[Progress: 1/600 points]

At the moment the ink panel was refreshed, the qi and blood contained in Shen Qing's body shuttled through his flesh and blood, constantly flowing back and being compressed, becoming blazing.

After experiencing four consecutive reversals, Shen Qing felt the blood in his body begin to boil.

Finally, at some point, Shen Qing felt that the shackles in his body were quietly broken, and this fiery energy and blood began to reverse for the fifth time.

He suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed, only to hear bursts of explosions and surging energy in the air.

"The fifth transformation of the Nine Transformations Profound Art has been completed. Its power is even higher than before."

Shen Qing couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.

The combined power of the four turns is already enough to deal with martial artists in the Yangqi realm. Now, if one more turn is added, martial artists in the Qihai realm might be able to deal with one or two.

Looking at the mark on the ink panel indicating that the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art had achieved some success, Shen Qing gradually relaxed and was about to go to the old servant's body to investigate.

Suddenly, I felt dizzy and weak.

Fortunately, after a moment, Shen Qing reacted quickly and realized that this was a serious side effect of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. He hurriedly practiced the Blood Domination Art to make up for the loss of Qi and blood in his body.

Under the effect of the Blood Domination Technique, the dizziness and weakness caused by the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique slowly disappeared after about eight breaths.

"The side effects of the fifth turn have become stronger. Judging from the side effects, the explosive power may bring unexpected surprises when it hits a person." Shen Qing murmured to himself.

After he was no longer seriously injured, Shen Qing did not delay any longer. He jumped onto the roof and landed next to the old servant's body.

At this time, the old servant of the Zhou family had his eyes wide open, with shock and unwillingness frozen on his face, his limbs stretched out weakly, and there was no sign of life.

The blood on the back of his chest slowly spread on the cold stone slabs, forming a glaring red.

Shen Qing lowered his head and reached out to search carefully in the old servant's still warm body, but did not find anything valuable.

He frowned slightly and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"As expected, those who work like cattle and horses, slaves or maids for others, even if they have some skills, cannot escape the fact that they are poor."

boom!
Just then, a loud noise was heard outside the city gate.

Shen Qing felt the ground shaking slightly.

He quickly looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw a cloud of green smoke rising like a mushroom, mixed with faint flashes of lightning.

Shen Qing was all too familiar with this scene.

Weapon mine!
The Huangtian Sect began to attack the city.

Shen Qing's expression turned serious.

[Eagle Eye] skill is activated.

Immediately, pictures of the area around Taiping County appeared in his mind, forming a panoramic view from above.

With the ability of [Torch-like Vision], Shen Qing could see the scenes inside and outside the city clearly. There were large numbers of Huangtian Sect followers in the four directions of south, west, and north outside the city.

Time waits for no one, we have to find Xiaohu quickly.

Shen Qing looked around, using the abilities of [Eagle Eyes] and [Sharp Eyes] to constantly confirm Xiaohu's whereabouts.

He first located the area around the courtyard, then looked down and scanned the area, and saw the bodies of several young people.

Shen Qing recognized that these people were not Shen Xiaohu.

Where are the people?
Time passed bit by bit. After a while, Shen Qing scanned the nearby streets and alleys, but still found nothing.

By scanning aimlessly like this, he wanted to find Shen Xiaohu in the county, and he had to count every person in the county.

It is impossible to do it without most of the day.

There is not much time left now.

Shen Qing had already seen that the north gate had been breached by the combined efforts of the inside and outside forces. The followers of the Huangtian Sect had already entered the county town.

Now the Huangtian Sect has left the East Gate open, obviously using the tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open.

Once Taiping County is captured, the city will be sealed off.

If you don't leave now, it will be difficult to leave.

The fact that Shen Xiaohu’s body was not found means that it is more likely that he is still alive.

Many hunters from Hongshan Village are still in the city and have not moved away. In addition, Shen Xiaohu himself has practiced some martial arts and is much stronger than ordinary people. He is more capable of protecting himself than those ordinary people who are unarmed.

After comprehensive consideration, Shen Qing decided to leave now and come back here to settle down in the future and then find out about Shen Xiaohu.

Shen Qing returned to the gate of the courtyard, quickly untied the reins, jumped onto the horse's back, spurred the horse and galloped towards the east gate of the city. His back gradually disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Taiping County, county government office.

Some members of the Huangtian Sect rushed forward without fear of death.

Some Yellow Angels and Holy Christians who had already sneaked into the city mixed in the crowd and killed several officials. Then they took out a yellow pennant, made hand gestures, and tapped several times in the air.

Soon the triangular flag spun in his hand and fluttered without wind.

The yellow angel waved the yellow pennant twice, inciting and bewitching, "There is endless food, endless money, and endless treasures in the mansion of the dog county magistrate. God knows, whoever enters will have a share! Charge!"

Waves of yellow light flashed by.

The desires and anger hidden in the hearts of the many Huangtian sect followers who followed were aroused.

They seemed to recall various scenes of oppression in the past. They all had fierce looks on their faces and rushed open the door of the yamen without fear.

Some believers directly tied machine guns to their bodies and rushed forward to die together with the officials.

The roaring sound is endless.

"Your Excellency, Lord County Magistrate, Lord Wang of the garrison camp was killed by Commander Huang Tianjiao who rushed in. The north gate was lost, and the west gate was lost as well. We can't hold Taiping County anymore." The county magistrate said in a panic.

County Magistrate Du Yuntong looked pale and asked, "So fast?"

"The enemy has been preparing for a long time and is coming with great force. We were caught off guard for a moment, and this is not the fault of the county lord." The county magistrate said quickly: "We must leave immediately and report the situation here to the county government as soon as possible, and have the county city send troops to wipe out the bandits here."

County Magistrate Du Yuntong said, "Go and ask Captain Wang to take the others with you."

He took off his official uniform and hurried into the back hall.

Under the arrangement of Wang Yanjun and other trusted aides, they did not care about any valuables and rushed out of the encirclement on horseback, rode away, and quickly disappeared in the backyard of the yamen.

Upon seeing this, the Huangtian Sect members were greatly encouraged and quickly occupied the government office.

The yellow angel, who was mixed in with many believers, had a clear purpose. He went straight to the study of the former county magistrate Du Yuntong and searched around.

He rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally found a sandalwood box, which he opened with great anticipation.

There is a bunch of incense inside.

"Hahaha, I found it. The Zhou Dynasty gave the officials guardian incense as salary, but for them it was just to help them refine the wish beads. But for us, it is the best treasure for meditation and cultivation. It's a waste of resources in their hands."

The yellow angel suddenly closed the sandalwood box, looked around, then quickly ran to the backyard of the yamen and rushed out.

As soon as he went out, he saw a handsome young man riding a tall black horse rushing towards him.

The yellow angel's expression changed.

The other party was very aggressive and it was obvious that he was here to steal my guardian incense.

Go to hell!

He hurriedly took out a martial arts bomb and prepared to throw it over to blow him to pieces.

When Shen Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, saw the familiar thing, his heart skipped a beat and he pointed it out almost subconsciously.

boom!
Ling Feng's powerful energy burst out of his body and hit the yellow angel on the neck.

Before the yellow angel could understand what was happening, he found himself spinning dizzily, unable to sense his body, and slowly losing consciousness.

"I...day..."

Shen Qing looked at the yellow angel whose head and body were separated with a gloomy expression.

The members of the Huangtian Sect are really crazy. They kill anyone they see. We absolutely cannot stay in the county town.

When Shen Qing was about to leave at full speed, he suddenly saw the other party holding a wooden box in his hand. Without thinking much, he instinctively picked up the sandalwood box and the untriggered martial arts thunder in his arms and left immediately.

The Zhou family’s ship at the ferry outside Taiping County.

The fifth young master Zhou Xintong stood on the deck and looked out. He saw the flames rising to the sky in Taiping County in the distance. He looked a little impatient and ordered the steward Zhou Hao below: "Set sail and return to Yongzhou."

The steward Zhou Hao didn't ask any reason and agreed immediately: "Yes, Master."

"Master has given the order, set sail!"

"start sailing!"

The many servants on the ship quickly took action. Large oars were raised high on both sides of the hull, fell into the water, and began to rock.

The ship slowly left the dock in the water and rowed downstream.
