Martial Saint!.

Chapter 352: Accompanying the Tiger to the South, Proving the Dao in Yunmengze (5k)

Deep in the Million Mountain restricted area.

The Bloody Duke looked at the news from Gu Qianqian with a thoughtful look on his face:
"They are leaving the city so openly, they must be using Lu as bait. I am not a fool... But this is also an opportunity. I can go to Jiangnan and wait. I am definitely not the only one who wants to deal with Lu Chenzhou. Wu's men may also go to capture Lu Chenzhou. We must kill him before he is captured alive!"

……

The cold wind was howling in the sky.

The Snow Region Banshee Queen shuttled through the gale layer with an obscene smile:
"Knock this kid out first, then torture him again... and finally give him to the Lord of Witches."

The fusion of the essence of this martial arts genius with her blood will surely allow her to give birth to a "little demon king" level offspring, becoming an invincible existence in the same realm among the demon clan.

……

Sioux City.

Two figures of a handsome man and a beautiful woman stood on the city wall, exuding the aura of a master.

"Senior sister, Junior Brother has gone to ask for the advice."

"Good things, seeing the living beings of heaven and earth and understanding the artistic conception, asking all things in the world and proving my way."

"I don't know how many evil spirits have come out in the dark. The dark night has given them courage."

"Then let me ask them... The way of the human world, the way of demons, right and wrong are all the way!"

……

At dusk, the setting sun is as red as blood, falling into the earth.

Lu Chenzhou walked on the ground, his ferocious black armor blending perfectly with the night.

Brother Tiger was running and jumping happily in front. He looked much more energetic than before he went out. It seemed as if he had endless energy to vent, and he wanted to ride ten tigresses to vent it out.

Firstly, after living in a cage for a long time, when it is able to return to nature and walk in the wilderness, its tiger nature begins to be stimulated and it begins to shine again.

Secondly, Lu Chenzhou spent 5000 military merits to buy Brother Hu a yellow-grade treasure, officially named [Lower-grade Emperor's Liquor].

This treasure is useless to humans, but it is a panacea for the growth and advancement of rare birds and animals.

It is of course also useful for ordinary animals, but no one would do so as it is too wasteful.

According to human legend, the Emperor's River is the essence of the moonlight on the night of Gengshen. It descends to the human world and the plants and trees absorb its essence and become spiritual.

Ding Jian said that the ancient Qi cultivators called this thing "Innate Taiyin Treasure Qi", which can indeed enlighten mortal beasts.

In fact, many of the monsters and ferocious beasts in the wilderness have achieved their promotion by taking the Taiyin energy.

However, ordinary animals are just like ordinary people. If they take the Emperor's Liquid, the drug is too strong and nine out of ten will die.

Brother Hu is now stimulated by the power of the medicine and looks as strong as a dragon, but whether he can eventually transform is unknown.

If you can survive the 49 days, you will be able to have a glimmer of hope and a new life.

Although it is not a first-class exotic beast, it is superior enough to the ordinary beasts in the world. It can fight against giant elephants with its skinny tiger body.

Lu Chenzhou thought that it would be best if he could cross it successfully, and he would also have a cool mount.

The Great Dark Ages is gradually deepening, and some high-tech weapons from the old era may have to gather dust for a while.

Shenwu Technology and Dadao Science and Industry have been researching civilian wilderness all-terrain pioneer vehicles, which are similar to the civilian version of the Xinghuo City military's armored vehicles.

These wilderness vehicles are powered by extraordinary biofuel extracted from the bodies of monsters, and traditional petroleum power is gradually being eliminated.

The trend of future transportation may be like the Silver Eagle Federation movie "Max", becoming more wild and heavy metal, with defense and firepower as the main focus.

Emerging professions such as wilderness drivers, pilots, and wilderness escorts are all in the limelight.

Of course, in the Golden Age, technology was a toy for civilians and grassroots martial artists.

Nowadays, true martial arts masters always ride on rare and exotic animals as mounts when they travel, just like the Qi cultivators in the wilderness.

There are only two ways to obtain a mount.

One is to try your luck in the wilderness, finding and taming it, the probability of which is no less than winning the lottery.

Lao Wang was lucky enough to kill a demon king and take his mount.

A year after the Cataclysm began, Lu Chenzhou often hunted monsters in the wild, but had never seen any rare animals.

Secondly, if you buy it from the War Merit Shop, a first-rank [Dragon Blood Horse] that can travel 3 miles a day will cost you War Merits, which is more expensive than ordinary Xuan-grade treasures.

Lu Chenzhou could afford it, but there was no need to.

Instead of practicing Tiger Form Fist, he might as well find a way to revive Brother Tiger and keep him company.

Boom, boom, boom—the deafening roar of the engine came from far away.

Four privately modified off-road vehicles appeared in the field of vision like giant beasts, drifting around Lu Chenzhou, with smoke and dust rising straight into the sky.

Lu Chenzhou looked quietly, but Brother Hu beside him had disappeared.

"Are you Mr. Lu?" A strong man in a vest with a height of more than two meters and a back as broad as a whale jumped out of the car and asked. He had a tiger-headed sword hanging from his waist, shining with divine light. In other cars, there were four strange warriors with different skin colors and the aura of the first and second realms. They looked at Lu Chenzhou calmly.

Lu Chenzhou asked: "What's the matter?"

The vest-clad muscular man waved his hand, and four rockets whizzed in. At the same time, his third realm aura burst out, and he raised his hand, and a bright two-foot blade slashed down diagonally, blocking Lu Chenzhou's movement. Boom boom boom! The thick smoke from the gunpowder explosion rose to the sky, and the smoke and dust dissipated, leaving a pile of big pits on the spot, but there was no Lu Chenzhou's body.

The sturdy man's face changed slightly, he turned around and slashed behind him. The tiger-head knife wrapped in fighting spirit collided with a pair of golden fists, and the metal rang. The long knife trembled violently and tore the sturdy man's tiger's mouth. His face changed drastically. As a fighting master, he practiced the "White Whale Fighting Technique" and was famous for his strength. However, he had no advantage at all in this confrontation.

"Quick! Rockets, rockets!" Dense flames exploded in the wilderness. Lu Chenzhou, wearing a thousand-jin heavy armor, was like a ghost, moving up and down, left and right, dodging all the explosions. Even the occasional shock waves could not shake the protective golden light around him. Everyone couldn't believe it. Was this really just a level 2 attack?

The sturdy man knew that Lu Chenzhou could defeat the black-clothed gun demon who had broken through the third level of the fighting realm.

But he didn't expect that his strength in the third realm combined with the sneak attack with hot weapons could not hurt the enemy at all.

After dozens of loud noises, Lu Chenzhou's feet were suspended in the air, and he dodged a sky-high sword light like a swallow and arrived at a height of a hundred feet.

"Quick, knock him down for me! Xiao Ba, use your Tang Sect hidden weapon!"

After another ineffective attack, the sturdy man's face became gloomy, and he held the long knife... and ran away!
"Brothers, this is a tough idea, split up and run!"

The mob dispersed in an instant. Lu Chenzhou opened his mouth and spit out alloy bullets that flew through the air. Figures fell to the ground one after another. They covered their legs and screamed in pain, their faces terrified. Lu Chenzhou controlled the strong wind and walked in the air. He soon caught up with the vest man: "Can I ask you a question?"

The vest-clad burly man knew he couldn't run away, so he turned around and slashed with his sword. Before the rainbow light got close, it was smashed by Lu Chenzhou's punch: "What do you want to ask?"

Lu Chenzhou asked seriously: "What is Tao?"

The strong man in the vest: “???”

He thought Lu Chenzhou was going to ask him who he was and who was behind it.

"You're making fun of me, go to hell! Don't think you're great just because you're a genius!"

He slashed at Lu Chenzhou with the momentum of a moth to a flame, his sword flashed like a silk thread, and his muscles and bones roared like a whale.

Lu Chenzhou understood: "I understand, your path... is the path to death! Then I will fulfill your wish!"

His figure grew taller and taller, and the spirit of Qiongqi behind him transformed into the phantom of a mountain god with a tiger head and a human body.

With his essence, energy and spirit united as one, he fell with his elixir in his arms. The fist shadows in the sky formed a black sacred mountain, which locked onto the burly man and smashed down with a bang!
The ultimate martial arts move: the mountain of god pressing down on you!
Boom boom—the vest-wearing sturdy man roared, raised his sword and slashed out. When his fist and sword collided, his leg bones broke, blood mist splattered, and his body was like a strange pine tree bent by heavy snow. If he hadn't practiced martial arts, he would have knelt down. He was shocked: "Your fist is shaking my magic weapon? What the hell is this monster?"

Secret: Whale Flood!

The sturdy man launched a killing move in a fight, his spirit was like a torrent, transforming into a giant white whale and crashing into Lu Chenzhou.

The red tiger head transformed by the tiger-subduing seal roared and flew out, piercing the white whale and imprinting on the sturdy man's forehead, causing him to stagnate for a moment. Lu Chenzhou fell to the ground, his right arm was like a green snake, and golden flames were like dragons. His muscles tightened and loosened, and his fist burst out like a spear, piercing the sturdy man's left chest and pulling out a burning black heart.

The strong man vomited blood, his vitality quickly faded, and the tiger-head knife fell limply.

He stared at Lu Chenzhou and said with a smile: "You are indeed a genius. If it were a peaceful era, with your strength, you would surely rise to the top and be remembered for eternity. But in this long night, a genius is just a glowing firefly. Even if you are at the top, what good is it? A human life is just a moment of godhood. When the curtain is broken, you will also vanish into nothingness."

Lu Chenzhou asked: "What's your name?"

The sturdy man said, "Zhang Dongshan."

Lu Chenzhou shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

The sturdy man had a ferocious look on his face and said with a smile: "Of course, how can I compare with a martial arts genius like you?"

His muscles hummed and his body swelled like a balloon before exploding.

Lu Chenzhou rose up into the clouds to prevent his armor from being stained by the dirty blood mist.

“A fighting master, reduced to being a bandit… why bother? Your will is too weak.

He picked up the tiger-head knife and the storage ring. The knife was a lower-grade divine weapon named [Tiger Dragon]. It was useless to him but could be exchanged for some military merits.

There was nothing good in the ring, just a book on intermediate-level martial arts and some training resources that were better than nothing.

Finally, he came in front of the other four people and asked calmly:

"Who ordered you?"

"Will you give us a chance to mend our ways?"

"No... you have too much blood on you."

"You can't kill us, you are abusing lynching, we demand that you transfer us to the judicial authorities for prosecution!"

Fists landed on the ground, blasting the four men into pieces without a sound.

Lu Chenzhou felt something in his heart and sighed, "You have taken the wrong path."

They could have relied on their own hard work to get rich, but they took advantage of the coming of the Dark Ages to rob their compatriots. Such people, if they are kept, are also a scourge to civilization.

He found where Brother Tiger was hiding and disappeared into the wilderness.

Above the sky, an unfathomable figure watched all this silently, with neither joy nor sadness.

……

Next month.

Lu Chenzhou walked on foot, accompanying the tiger to the south of the Yangtze River.

He went to the Magic City and asked Wang Gang what Taoism was. Wang Gang was stunned. You ask me, who should I ask?
He asked Ye Chen, and Ye Chen said that the way of Wing Chun is the sun and the moon, which is to make friends with boxing and defeat all the heroes in the world!

He went to Hangzhou and wanted to ask Ye Lingyun, the head of Jiangnan Martial Arts University, but he was busy in seclusion recently to break through, so he had to give up.

He asked the governor of Hangzhou, Grandmaster Gong, and Grandmaster Gong said that his Tao, as his title suggested, was absolutely divine.

There are a thousand different understandings of Tao for a thousand people.

Tao is ambition, pursuit, and a kind of understanding that can represent the spirit of martial artists!

As time passed, he practiced the "Mountain King Asking the Way Fist" and asked for advice from others. The martial arts tree gradually grew to a height of ninety-five feet.

During this period, there were occasionally some ignorant people who came to cause trouble, but after being questioned by him, they were sent away with a punch.

……

Yunmeng Base City, formerly Yueyang City.

Dongting Lake, which is the prototype of the future Yunmeng Lake, is expanding like the tide and gradually connecting with other large lakes.

Lu Chenzhou settled down here and ended his journey of seeking the truth.

At this time, the martial arts tree was already 99 feet long, just one step away.

He gained a lot of insights by asking others, but the most important thing is to ask himself!

While he was boxing, he was thinking:

"My boxing theory and artistic conception are derived from the tiger form and sublimated into the [Tree of Martial Arts] that carries on the tradition. My Tao cannot be confined to a certain form or school. It should carry the three mountains and five peaks, embrace the five lakes and four seas, and embrace all things and all living beings in the world. Only in this way can it match the status of the [Tree of Martial Arts]!"

What should that be?

Lu Chenzhou opened the window, looked at the deserted streets at night, felt the hustle and bustle of the world, and gazed at Yunmengze in the distance.

A low growl was heard from behind. Brother Tiger lay on the ground, listless, his skin cracked and blood flowing.

"It's the 49th day...Hold on, brother. Once you get through this, that will be your chance!"

Lu Chenzhou touched Brother Hu's head. Brother Hu nodded, remaining calm and unmoved, enduring everything.

"Dog ghost, guard your tiger brother."

Lu Chenzhou released the dog ghost to protect Brother Tiger.

He jumped out of the house, climbed onto the clouds, rode the wind, and looked at the brilliant stars and the Milky Way in the night sky.

Finally, he landed on the Yueyang Tower, thinking about martial arts. This man exuded the power to swallow up the Yunmeng Lake and shake the Yueyang City!
An aura as deep as a mountain and a black-clad figure with an indiscernible face appeared at some point in time.

"Young friend, your boxing theory is close to Taoism, it's really amazing."

"Who is the senior?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, I just want to ask you a question."

"Senior, please tell me."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the curtain will be broken within a hundred years, and the human world will surely be unable to resist the power of the evil god. Do you want to survive?"

"think."

"Alas, as you know, the top leaders of the Red Dragon Palace are gone, leaving us poor people in the dark."

"Senior, why don't you just say what you want to say?"

"We have found a small world with a magic circle in it. We may be able to leave the human world and rebuild a new home. We are now recruiting talents. Are you willing to join?"

Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou's expression changed slightly, and his tiger-heart spear began to buzz.

The man in black chuckled and casually punched upwards. The wind from his fist swept away the clouds in the sky, and the ripples of air swept across, covering the sky and the sun.

"I know you have the Suzaku sword energy trump card, but it should be useless to me. I came here with sincerity."

"Senior, have you ever thought that even if you leave the human world, other worlds cannot escape the same fate."

"It's better than waiting to die in the human world... My time is limited, so just answer me, do you want to join?"

An extremely strong and sticky aura as thick as substance enveloped Lu Chenzhou, causing him to fall into the abyss.

Darkness, depression, despair, helplessness...

The man in black said with a cold voice: "Answer me!"

Time passes by every second.

Under the heavy pressure, Lu Chenzhou felt like he was carrying the Five Finger Mountain. He bent over and lowered his head, his muscles and bones ached so much that they seemed to be torn apart.

The martial arts tree in the inner scene danced wildly, resisting the vast momentum of heavenly power, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. All the leaves withered and the giant tree was destroyed.

Lu Chenzhou half-knelt on the ground, pointing his spear at the man in black, but he was unable to activate the Suzaku sword energy.

The martial arts tree in my mind shone brightly and grew taller by one foot until it reached ninety-nine feet and nine feet.

There were bloodshot eyes in Lu Chenzhou's eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“So, this is my way…”

The martial arts tree grew another foot taller, completely breaking through the last bit of window paper, and the fog blocking its way disappeared completely.

He opened his eyes, sat on the Yueyang Tower, looked at the lake, his chest heaving.

There were no longer any men in black around, as if everything was just a dream.

Inside the scene, the martial arts tree is in a mess, with fallen leaves all over the ground, just like the bleak autumn and winter.

"My artistic conception is the tree. From the artistic conception of the tree, the further Tao... is for the human world, for the world!"

The world carries the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, all things in the world, and his martial arts!
As winter turns to spring, the giant tree sprouts vitality, shoots up toward the sky, getting taller and taller, far taller than before.

The new branches are becoming more and more powerful, and the new green leaves are becoming more and more tender and juicy.

At this moment, the giant tree is reborn.

It spreads out its gorgeous green umbrella canopy, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the inner world. It is the peak of martial arts built by tens of millions of people, and its momentum is higher than ever!

The wind blew across the sky and earth, and the branches and leaves of the giant trees swayed and rustled.

The light of the golden sun shines down, cut by the leaves, and forms mottled reflections on the ground.

The surface of countless young leaves reflects the bizarre scenery, which seems like a dancing world and makes people immersed in it.

The stars in the sky trembled, and in the boundless void, surging mental power poured into Lu Chenzhou's mind like a tide.

He held the meditation bead in his hand and watched it soar quietly.

200, 210, 220... until the mental power reaches 300 Prajna, then it will stop.

The ocean of the mind became increasingly vast and profound, and the golden mental power continued to condense and transform into a golden sun under the sea.

After resting, he stood up, feeling the soreness in his body, and pondered: "Who is that black-robed king?"

Thinking back to what Master said before, it seems that the inside of Da Xia is not a monolithic entity.

Some people are afraid of war and want to find ways to escape from the world and protect themselves.

Some people secretly join sects, hoping to become lackeys of the evil gods, and if they can't defeat them, they join them.

Of course, he believed that with the will of martial artists, most people would fight the evil god to the end!

"But why didn't this black-robed king kill me? Could it be..."

Lu Chenzhou looked up at the starry sky, as if he had realized something, and gradually he got the answer.

At dawn, the lake was filled with morning mist.

He left Yueyang Tower and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

The dog ghost guarded diligently all night, and the floor was covered with blood, mixed with a lot of black and yellow fur, teeth and claws.

"Brother Tiger?"

Lu Chenzhou looked at the empty room, and then looked towards the bathroom, where he seemed to hear a whimpering sound.

He walked through the pool of blood, pushed open the door, and looked at the bald, hairless cat curled up in a ball with a sad look in its eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

"That's great. We can be reborn together."
