The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 24: Five Ghost Babies, Deadly
As for Chu Zhou's trump card, it has never been the killer move called "Raging Dragon Over the River", which is just an outburst in a normal state.

His real trump card is actually his strong physique which was fully activated after completing the four stages of 'tendons, bones, skin and flesh'.

The tendons are like thunder and the strings are shocked!

He is strong enough to pull nine oxen backwards!

The body is as indestructible as a diamond!

The bones are soft and can stretch freely!

For ordinary warriors, these perfect stages are just a sign, indicating that they have reached the pinnacle in one of the stages and can proceed to the next step of practice.

In fact, most warriors cannot even reach this extreme.

Because it is not easy to hone to true perfection. On the contrary, pseudo-perfection at the peak of the late stage is enough.

But for Chu Zhou, completing the four levels is more like a state.

It is like the body is fully mobilized, muscles, skin and bones are no longer restrained, and after reaching the best state, it enters a critical state of physique!
It is also after entering this critical state that Chu Zhou's strength and speed, reaction and perception, and even recovery ability, can be qualitatively improved in a very short time.

Moreover, this improvement is not wanton squandering or venting, but the power is firmly controlled by the will, and can even be used more delicately.

This is also the ability Chu Zhou has when he enters the late stage of body tempering!

Of course, there are many advantages, but there are also disadvantages.

For example, maintaining this state consumes the body's qi and blood. With Chu Zhou's current qi and blood reserves, it can only last for about half an hour, which is already the limit.

Furthermore, entering this critical state requires a certain amount of preparation time, and the body needs to be thoroughly exercised.

In fact, Chu Zhou was already making preparations when he was fighting the crazy tiger man and the scarred swordsman.

It's a pity that they failed to force Chu Zhou to use his 'dominant' form!
Well, actually Chu Zhou wanted to call it "Critical State" before, but when he thought about having to teach his fellow disciples in the future, this name was not very suitable.

So, it was decided to be "Ba Ti"!
Unparalleled dominance, that sounds so awesome!

This is also the second killing move after "Raging Dragon Overturning the River"!
At this moment, just entering this state scared the group of martial artists guarding the courtyard so much that they retreated one after another.

They did have some experience and had dealt with martial arts masters before, but being able to "transform" like this was something they couldn't understand.

"You, what kind of monster are you?"

Chu Zhou lowered his head slightly, looking down at them as if he were looking at a group of ants, and said, "Now, you can run away!"

"Run away and don't stop me. Otherwise, if you die, don't say I didn't warn you."

If possible, Chu Zhou would not want to kill people. As he said, it was all for a few pieces of silver to make a living, so why take it so seriously? !
When his gaze shifted away from the group of fleeing guards, Chu Zhou finally looked into the distance, looked at the room where the lights were still on, and smiled.

boom!
The blue bricks on the ground exploded, and he had disappeared from where he was.

……

In the living room,
The banquet was still going on, and the food and wine had changed again. Mr. Xue chatted with the ragged Taoist priest about random things, and they had changed the topic so many times that he didn't know how many times.

It has to be said that Mr. Xue is a man of many talents. Having served as the county magistrate for so many years, he is very good at dealing with people.

It’s a pity that the person he was facing was a shabby Taoist priest. Both of them were not in the same class and there was nothing they could talk about.

Mr. Xue was quite interested in esoteric arts and extraordinary people, but the tattered Taoist hardly said a word about this. Whenever the topic came up, he would just smile and say nothing.

It was at this time that a sudden noisy sound was heard, and the noise in the dark night could be heard from far away.

County Magistrate Xue frowned slightly and said with an unhappy look, "What's going on outside? Why is there so much noise?"

A servant standing by immediately bowed and said, "Master, wait a moment. I'll go check it out!"

Having said that, he was about to leave, but the tattered Taoist priest tilted his head slightly, as if he heard something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Go, let's go!"

As he spoke, he took out a small knife from somewhere and cut his palm. Blood splattered and smeared on a yellow talisman.

Then he shouted, "Turn! Turn! Turn!"

I don't know what he did, but his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and when he reappeared, he was already at a corner of the wall.

And at the original place, there was the blood-stained yellow talisman, floating down!

As for County Magistrate Xue, although this old fellow practiced martial arts, it was many years ago.

At this time, he was still looking at the Taoist priest with surprise, obviously not reacting.

Of course, although he is slow, there are people who react faster!
A figure flashed behind the screen, grabbed County Magistrate Xue and ran away.

However, their speed was too slow, and just when they managed to avoid it, the roof suddenly cracked and collapsed.

A large number of tiles and broken beams fell down, carrying a black shadow, and crashed straight into the house.

boom!
There was a loud bang, smoke and dust filled the air, and a dark shadow could be vaguely seen slowly standing up.

Even though it couldn't be seen clearly, just the outline was enough to be described as a giant. Just one movement was like a shadow hanging over everyone's heart.

His body seemed to contain an incomparably terrifying power. The dust in the air displeased him, so he raised his hands and waved them outward. Visible power spread outward, and the shock wave suppressed the dust, showing his almost unbelievably strong physique.

And, that ridiculous monkey face mask!
Chu Zhou turned his head slightly and looked around. After a moment of hesitation, his gaze fixed on an old Taoist priest in tattered robes. His deep voice was captivating.

"Are you the tattered Taoist?"

The tattered Taoist looked grim: "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

"We don't need to know each other. You just need to know that your two servants died in my hands. Now, it's your turn!"

Chu Zhou just replied coldly and punched out.

He also understands the esoteric arts and knows the twists and turns involved, so there is one thing you can never go wrong when fighting with someone who specializes in the esoteric arts.

That is to seize the initiative and not give them time to perform the spell!
Therefore, his punches are not only powerful, but also fast.

It looked like just a random punch, but it was driven by the big dragon in the spine, with all the muscles and bones in the body vibrating and the strength bursting out to throw a punch.

The fist wind broke through the air, stirring the air and even forming a vortex, which was extremely terrifying to watch.

The tattered Taoist felt his scalp tingling, not knowing why he had provoked such a vicious man, but he reacted very quickly, took out a piece of yellow paper, smeared it with blood, and roared: "Turn! Turn! Turn!"

With a 'bang' sound, the fist blew past, and the blood-stained yellow paper was shredded by the airflow, but the Tattered Taoist had disappeared again.

But the real disaster was actually the front wall. After being hit hard by a punch, countless bricks and stones suddenly exploded and flew everywhere, even hitting the martial artist who came to guard the courtyard, leaving behind wailing on the ground.

Chu Zhou was not surprised at all when his punch missed. Instead, he smiled in a low voice and said, "This method is quite interesting!"

Before he finished laughing, he moved even faster. Despite his huge size, he was just as agile as ever.

His steps turned strangely, and he was several meters away, then he raised his foot and kicked!

There was another loud bang, the yellow paper fell, and the Taoist disappeared.
Also, a log supporting the room was kicked in half and flew out horizontally, breaking through the wall and killing and injuring countless people.

And this is the power of a warrior!

The astonishing speed and strength bring about damage that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Therefore, in this world, peasant uprising is the most hopeless thing, because, born as peasants, they cannot become warriors and naturally cannot control such power.

The attack failed again, and the tattered Taoist priest had already fled outside the house. The wider space was also more conducive to casting spells. He originally wanted to keep some distance and plan other things.

But in fact, he is fast, but Chu Zhou is even faster!

In midair, it seemed as if a dozen black shadows appeared at the same time, some striking out with palms, some kicking, some swinging fists, or some colliding with each other...

The air exploded with a roar, shredding the blood-stained yellow paper all over the sky.

Such brutality and swiftness were something the Taoist priest had never seen in his life. He knew that he could not hide any longer.

Because the yellow paper he brought was almost not enough.

Moreover, if he continued to splash blood like this, he would die from excessive blood loss if not beaten to death.

"You forced me to do this, you forced me to do this!"

Muttering to himself, the tattered Taoist priest looked almost insane. He dodged the attack again and threw out five pieces of yellow paper at once.

The five pieces of yellow paper absorbed a large amount of blood, and then he shouted hoarsely: "Five ghosts, move it, turn it! Turn it! Turn it!"

The next second, Chu Zhou fell from the sky, his legs chopped down like battle axes, and the five yellow papers were broken into two pieces, causing the ground to sink and break, and a big pit appeared.

But when he looked up again, Chu Zhou's expression hidden under the monkey mask had changed.

By now, he had discovered that the secret technique of the Tattered Taoist was very strange. It could almost ignore obstacles and move around, but the distance was limited.

According to Chu Zhou's estimation, twenty meters should be the limit.

But this time, when he appeared, he was already a hundred meters away. What was even more strange was that he was suspended in the air with his hands open, as if something was holding him up and flying!
He stared at Chu Zhou intently, his face full of madness: "Okay, okay, very good, it's been a long time since anyone has been able to push me to this point, you are very powerful."

"But that's all. No matter how much it costs, I want you to die!"

As he said this, he bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood, shouting, "Five ghost babies, kill them! Kill! Kill!"

Along with his roar, there seemed to be gusts of cold wind blowing past him, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill that tightly wrapped around Chu Zhou.

This scene seems familiar.

Chu Zhou almost instinctively took out a porcelain bottle as quickly as possible, poured out the liquid, and wiped it into his eyes.

Then, he saw five baby-like evil spirits floating around the tattered Taoist priest.

Their faces, which should have been innocent, were now filled with resentment, with blood still on their mouths, and a ghostly aura enveloped the entire tattered Taoist priest.

Similarly, countless tentacles extended out and tightly bound Chu Zhou's arms and body from a distance of a hundred meters.

Then, a biting cold permeated Chu Zhou's body, as if to freeze him completely.

At this moment, Chu Zhou realized that he couldn't move!
