I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 112 Thunderclap Spear Technique
Outside the Black Fiend Sect's mountain gate.

This is a vast area of ​​towns surrounding the Black Fiend Sect, with at least tens of thousands of households.

One of the courtyards, with its spacious layout, was decorated in an elegant and grand style, clearly belonging to a local powerful family in the town. The guards in the courtyard were strong and the maids were all pretty.

"Mo'er is dead?!"

"No, this is impossible, it can't be like this!"

A middle-aged man, dressed in a luxurious silk robe, was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the service of his maids when he suddenly heard the news reported by the steward. He sat up abruptly, his face showing disbelief.

He is Xu Mo's father, Xu Zhuang. The Xu family is considered a powerful family in this region. For generations, there have been martial arts masters who have reached the third stage of blood condensation. Although he is not talented and has not reached the third stage of blood condensation, he has a good son. After joining the Black Fiend Sect, Xu Mo quickly became a true disciple and ranked among the top among the many true disciples. He is highly regarded by the entire Xu family.

now,

Upon hearing the devastating news, Xu Zhuang was unable to accept it for a moment.

The butler beside him also looked extremely grim and whispered, "The news came from the Black Fiend Sect. It is said that Elder Tan said it himself. The young master and Guo Zhenchuan were both killed by Wu Ming, the patrol officer of the Cautious Punishment Division."

Guo Xiang had no background or connections; he came from a humble background, so his death was no big deal. But Xu Mo had a powerful family backing, and Tan Yuzhou, having basically confirmed Xu Mo's fate, naturally wouldn't hide this information.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhuang's face turned ashen. He gripped the armrest of the recliner tightly, veins bulging on his wrist, and said, "Who is Wu Ming? My son has no grudge against him, why would he do such a vicious thing?!"

The butler whispered, "According to news from the Black Fiend Sect, Wu Ming has a grudge against Guo Zhenchuan. The two were fighting, and the young master was most likely caught up in it and unfortunately suffered the same fate... That Wu Ming is no ordinary person. He is a rising star in the Cautious Punishment Division. At only twenty-one years old, he has already reached the third stage of Blood Condensation and mastered the unity of skills. It is said that he has already gained the favor of Director Liu of the Cautious Punishment Division, and even Elder Tan is helpless against him."

Upon hearing the butler finish recounting Wu Ming's information, Xu Zhuang immediately sat back down in his recliner.

His face was extremely gloomy.

The patrol officer of the Cautious Punishment Division, a rising star among the younger generation, a 21-year-old master of three-time blood coagulation, is favored by the Division Master Liu Muyuan... Every piece of information is terrible. To put it bluntly, the Xu family can't even afford to offend Wu Ming now.

Xu Zhuang could not accept this situation. Although the Xu family was a powerful and wealthy family, Xu Mo's death was a devastating blow, even fatal. From his generation to Xu Mo's generation, only Xu Mo could be considered the best, capable of shouldering the burden of the Xu family and maintaining its status.

Now that Xu Mo is dead, the Xu family is facing a generational gap. There are no young members who can compare to Xu Mo, and it is very likely that the family will be without a successor again. Once the master who has achieved three blood condensation levels is no longer in charge, the Xu family will fall from its position as a powerful clan.

The Xu family also has many enemies, and they will inevitably be taken advantage of when they are down. Not to mention protecting their family business, they may very well be brought down to the dust. It can be said that the future is bleak and gloomy.

a long time.

Xu Zhuang raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mo'er can't just die like this. Anyone who dares to kill my son, no matter who it is, will pay the price!"

"But……"

The butler standing to the side looked worried.

Given the Xu family's situation, unless they can get a master from the Black Fiend Sect to help, they have no way to deal with Wu Ming. The only person they might be able to get help from within the Black Fiend Sect is Xu Mo's master, Tan Yuzhou. However, Tan Yuzhou's attitude is ambiguous, and he doesn't seem too keen on taking action.

"Find Bloodblade Tower."

Xu Zhuang spoke with a gloomy face.

Xu Mo's death was a heavy blow to the Xu family. It was foreseeable that the Xu family would have a very difficult time afterward, and it would be difficult to preserve their prosperous family business. Since that was the case, he didn't care anymore. Even if he had to spend a lot of money to hire the Blood Blade Tower, he would make Wu Ming pay the price.

Within the territory of Jingye City, every force is wary of Liu Muyuan's reputation, but only the Blood Blade Tower is fearless. Not only within the territory of Jingye City, but even throughout the entire Yong Kingdom, the Blood Blade Tower acts with impunity.

……

Jingye City,
Wu Mansion.

In the spacious backyard, Wu Ming held the Hundred Refined Black Iron Spear and assumed a basic spear-shaking stance.

The hundred-refined black iron spear, weighing over eighty pounds, was now in his hands just like the Crimson Python Spear before. As he exerted force in his arms, the entire spear began to vibrate rhythmically, accompanied by gusts of wind.

After shaking the spear dozens of times, Wu Ming suddenly swung the Xuan Tie spear, thrusting out more than a dozen times in an instant, then creating a flurry of spear flowers, and finally swirling the entire spear into a silver spear circle, like an invisible light curtain, impenetrable to water.

"Whew, that was awesome!"

After performing several sets of spear techniques, Wu Ming slammed his spear to the ground, his chest heaving slightly as he breathed heavily, a look of satisfaction on his face.

After breaking through the three blood clotting breakthroughs, wielding this heavy spear weighing over 80 pounds feels completely different.

"Try that Thunderclap Spear Technique."

A thought flashed through Wu Ming's mind, and he gripped the spear once more.

The Thunderclap Spear Technique is a high-level spear technique that can only be practiced after three blood coagulations. It is completely different from ordinary spear techniques such as the Falling Leaf Spear Technique. Its essence is no longer simply about exerting force, but also involves the circulation and coordination of blood and qi, making it much more profound than ordinary spear techniques.

This Thunderclap Spear Technique has a total of sixteen moves.

The first four moves can be mastered by achieving three blood coagulations, while the middle eight moves require mastering the techniques of the Unity Realm after achieving three blood coagulations in order to gradually master them.

As for the last four moves, they are truly the 'mastery' of spear techniques, which can only be mastered by those who have reached the pinnacle of skill!

Generally speaking, the first four moves are not too difficult, but the middle eight moves are more difficult each time. According to Wu Ming's understanding, even experts who have achieved four blood clotting techniques rarely manage to master all eight moves in the middle.

"Let's see how many moves I can master."

The thought flashed through Wu Ming's mind, followed by the movements, postures, energy exertion, and blood circulation of the first move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique. Then, holding the spear with both hands, he thrust it forward suddenly.

laugh.

The spear's wind was fierce, and the power unleashed by a single shot was clearly several times stronger than lower-level spear techniques such as the Falling Leaf Spear Technique.

Even so, Wu Ming could clearly sense with his powerful perception that what he was unleashing was not the true full power of this strike. After all, it was his first attempt. His strength and energy were fine, but his blood circulation was a bit rusty.

"Again." Wu Ming took a deep breath, swung his gun again, and focused his energy.

Swish!
This time, the circulation of blood and qi was slightly faster, but it still did not achieve perfect coordination between body, mind, and energy.

"Come again."

Wu Ming remained calm and unhurried, and made his move again.

……

After repeating this process dozens of times, when Wu Ming finally drew his gun again, his blood and energy flowed through his body's meridians to the meridians of his arms, and with the surge of power, a perfect resonance was formed.

With a thrust of the spear, the spear's light streaked across the void like a thunderbolt, with a faint flash of lightning!
"This is the first move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique."

Wu Ming's gaze was calm as he looked at the ironwood stake he had specially purchased in the corner of the courtyard. Suddenly, he thrust out his spear, first with a common Falling Leaf Spear Technique, and then with a Thunderclap Spear Technique.

*Sizzle! Sizzle!*

The two gun techniques struck the top and bottom ends of the wooden stake in succession.

With Wu Ming's current level of skill, even the Falling Leaf Spear Technique can easily pierce through the ironwood stake. However, the damage caused by the two different moves is still significantly different. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that although the Falling Leaf Spear Technique pierced through the stake, the crack it caused was larger, while the Thunderclap Spear Technique caused a smaller crack.

This situation does not mean that the Thunderclap Spear Technique is less powerful, but rather that its power is more concentrated. By channeling blood and qi through the meridians to generate force, it forms a perfect resonance, making its inherent strength stronger and its explosive power more concentrated. The difference is naturally enormous.

Wu Ming felt that if he were to wield this Hundred Refined Black Iron Spear and use the Thunderclap Spear Technique now, breaking through its defenses would be a piece of cake. He wouldn't need to fight for half a day before finally managing to defeat it.

Even among experts, there are differences.

Wu Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he assessed the power of the Thunderclap Spear Technique.

Of the three blood-coagulation masters he encountered, Shen Lian was the strongest. Don't be fooled by how easily Shen Lian was defeated by his flying sword. In a real fight, Shen Lian was probably even stronger than Zhou Huai'an. If the two were to fight, the slight difference might not determine the winner quickly, but Zhou Huai'an would most likely be suppressed.

"This spear strike is far inferior to Shen Lian's Cold Moon Blade, but it is only the first move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Wu Ming began practicing the second move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique.

Because his skills had already reached the Unity Realm, and he was also very perceptive and meticulous, with rich experience in spear techniques, the first few moves of the Thunderclap Spear Technique were almost effortless for him. He only needed to adapt to the circulation of his blood and qi to master them quickly.

In just half a day, he mastered the first four moves of the Thunderclap Spear Technique.

Afterwards,

This is the fifth move, which is significantly more difficult.

This move requires a foundation in the Unity Realm, where the principles of strength and gentleness are fully integrated, and the circulation of blood and qi must be perfectly aligned and unified. This finally presented a slight obstacle for Wu Ming.

It took Wu Ming three whole days to master the fifth move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique.

……

laugh!
In the courtyard, Wu Ming swung his spear forward. As the spear fell, visible lightning flashed where the spear tip passed, which looked quite astonishing. After the spear light passed, there were even faint sounds of thunder.

Of course, Wu Ming knew that the thunderous sound was just the sound of the spear cutting through the air, and the visible lightning was just an illusion created by the arc of the spear tip. The Thunderclap Spear Technique was essentially a martial arts technique. Although it was named Thunderclap, it was still based on the strength of flesh and blood and had no real connection with lightning.

Only the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman he practiced could truly wield the power of thunder.

"The fifth move of this Thunderclap Spear Technique is still slightly inferior to Shen Lian's Cold Moon Blade. It is estimated that the sixth move will be on par with the Cold Moon Spear, and the seventh move will be able to surpass that Cold Moon Blade move..."

As Wu Ming sensed the power of the fifth move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique, he pondered and made his judgment.

He is a rising star among the younger generation in Jingye City. His martial arts strength is basically between the fifth and seventh strikes of the Thunderclap Spear Technique. Once he masters the sixth strike, he will be roughly on par with Shen Lian. Once he masters the seventh strike, he will definitely be able to surpass Shen Lian and secure a place in the top three among the younger generation of martial artists in Jingye City.

Of course, if we include all martial artists who have reached the third stage of blood coagulation, they might only rank in the top thirty or so. After all, some older generation martial artists were once outstanding talents in their youth, but they ultimately failed to reach the fourth stage of blood coagulation. However, after decades of immersing themselves in the third stage of blood coagulation, their skills have reached a level of perfection, and there are even those who have mastered techniques comparable to the eighth move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique.

"If I were to fully master the first three secret runes of my Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman, its power would likely surpass the eighth move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique, and at least reach the level of the ninth move."

"As for using martial arts to fight against the killing weapons I control with the secret of the military, I'm afraid you'd have to practice the Thunderclap Spear Technique to the tenth or even eleventh move... I'm afraid even experts who have reached the fourth stage of blood coagulation don't have many who have reached that level."

Previously, Wu Ming could only appreciate the power of the "Soldier" secret technique in wielding weapons of slaughter. Killing a prodigy like Shen Lian was as easy as killing a chicken; he could kill him on the spot in just a few moves. In terms of martial arts, there were almost no techniques that could compare to it.

right now,

After practicing the Thunderclap Spear Technique, Wu Ming was finally able to roughly judge the level of power of the "Soldier" Secret Technique in controlling weapons of slaughter.

The Thunderclap Spear Technique is an extremely profound spear technique. The first four moves are simple, but the fifth move and so on become increasingly difficult. Wu Ming is now practicing the sixth move and is already feeling some resistance. It is by no means something that can be mastered overnight. The difficulty of the seventh, eighth, and even the ninth and tenth moves increases step by step. In particular, the ninth move and above basically require four blood coagulations to master.

To counter his manipulation of objects and weapons using martial arts at the third level of blood coagulation, one would need to master a profound skill like the Thunderclap Spear Technique to the tenth move or higher, which is clearly an excessive challenge.

and,

His primordial spirit strength is far from reaching the limit of the third refinement stage, and there is still room for further growth.

"My martial arts skills are far inferior to those of the Dao. I don't know when I will have any hope of catching up. In any case, the cultivation of the Dao is important, but I can't neglect martial arts either."

Wu Ming shook his head.

Seeing that it was already noon, he left the mansion and went to the dining hall of the Ministry of Justice. After eating, he returned home, took out the red lotus that was half used up, picked another petal, and brewed flower tea.

According to the rules of the Cautious Punishment Division, in the first month or two after a breakthrough and promotion, someone like him would not be assigned any real position or have any tasks. He would have plenty of time every day, which was to allow newly promoted inspectors like him to have ample time to consolidate their realm.
