Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 105 The Number One in Tianjin, Xuanwu the Fate Master

"Cough, cough, cough"

The Grandmaster of Marrow Cleansing who collapsed on the ground was indeed a being whose life essence had evolved once again.

Even as he lay on the ground, his limbs twitching unconsciously, coughing up pieces of internal organs,

Still clinging to life, he struggled to prop himself up, looked up at the approaching boy, and asked with difficulty and reluctance:

"You...you've already achieved complete marrow cleansing, are you deliberately luring me into this mess?!"

Only then did the crowd on the Chamber of Commerce Street realize with astonishment that...

The chest area of ​​this Marrow Cleansing Master dressed in black...

It looked as if a high-explosive device had been detonated inside.

It had been blasted into a hollow hole; its internal organs and flesh had long since disappeared.

Only the sections of the refined, jade-like skeleton still hang and sway.

The entire room fell silent; no one could believe it.

The monks of the Church of the Goddess of the Night and Anne, who were watching from afar, widened their eyes even more.

The master-level assassin they hired at great expense, who had achieved the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing, was actually blown apart by Li Xijun with a single punch?

"What nonsense is a dead man spouting?"

Li Xijun didn't bother with the other party's confusion and questions. A sword light flew out from his mind and beheaded him with one strike, leaving his head hanging on the tip of the sword.

"thump!"

A martial arts master who was renowned throughout the region and was considered one of the strongest martial arts practitioners in Tianjin died just like that.

They had gathered here because of Li Xijun and Fang Tianying, and the disciples and masters of various martial arts schools felt a chill run down their spines.

Among them, there were undoubtedly those who had considered killing the martial arts school.

Some hesitated to actually make a move because of concerns about their reputation, while others were deterred by Fang Tianying's previous intervention.

Seeing this scene now,

One by one, the martial arts school owners' backs were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

I just feel so glad I didn't lose my mind and actually go for it.

Otherwise, I would probably be the one lying dead on the ground right now!

the other side,

Originally, I wanted to go upstairs to rescue people.

Fang Tianying was almost knocked away by Wang Fusheng's corpse.

Only then did he leave the restaurant.

Seeing the same scene of the Marrow Cleansing Master being beheaded by Li Xijun with a single sword strike, they couldn't help but tremble.

Although he truly hated the other person,

But to witness a master of marrow cleansing die right before his eyes...

Fang Tianying, who was also undergoing marrow cleansing, felt a sense of shared sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.

until

"master?"

"Master Fang?"

"Master, how did you get out of there?"

Many of the Sky Eagle Martial Arts School disciples who had previously competed in the ring often loitered and drank on this Chamber of Commerce Street.

The disciples who had gathered around the restaurant because of the loud explosion earlier were surprised to see their martial arts school master also emerging from the restaurant.

Then, recalling Fang Tianying's earlier boasts about intervening to protect the Killing God Martial Arts School's assets, everyone's eyes turned strange.

Several seasoned martial arts school masters at the Marrow Cleansing Realm silently retreated.

He planned to shout later that he wasn't familiar with Fang Tianying, then quickly cut ties and run away to avoid getting blood on them.

Li Xijun then turned to look at the Grandmaster of Marrow Cleansing from the Sky Eagle Martial Arts School behind him.

This gave Fang Tianying a sudden jolt.

He quickly waved his hand and hurriedly said, "It's a misunderstanding! This person has absolutely nothing to do with me! I saw someone trying to assassinate me and ran in to help."

His shout caused the disciples of the Sky Eagle Martial Arts School, as well as the other martial arts school masters, to retreat.

Their eyes were filled with an "I understand" meaning; they were offering their help, though it was unclear who they would help.

This made Fang Tianying break out in a cold sweat.

"Ahem, seniors, please don't misunderstand. This matter really has nothing to do with Uncle Fang. He rushed in earlier because he was indeed worried about my safety."

Fortunately, Li Xijun, who knew what was going on, stepped in to help.

Having a good impression of Fang Tianying, he stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to express his gratitude after speaking.

"Uncle Fang never intended to seize my Killing Martial Arts School's assets. On the contrary, he was very kind and helped me a lot. I hope you will remember this."

"No, no, you shouldn't. Just call me Lao Fang! I really can't accept the title of 'Uncle-Master'."

Even though Li Xijun had just killed a Marrow Cleansing Master, he still had to bow to him.

Fang Tianying almost collapsed when he stepped forward, his body swaying slightly before he managed to reach out and support the other person's arm.

"I had no idea you, Brother Li, possessed such strength before. I was quite unruly at the dinner table; please forgive my rudeness!"

Fang Tianying quickly said:

"Gentlemen, I've seen quite a few people coveting Master Zhang's property today, so I've come here specifically to drink with Brother Li and support him."

"Unexpectedly, no sooner had I left than some ignorant Marrow Cleansing Master shamelessly launched a sneak attack on my brother Li."

"Fortunately, my brother Li is exceptionally talented, and his strength is far beyond what it used to be. He killed this damned assassin with a single punch!"

"Truly worthy of being Zhang Wusheng's disciple. He was able to give up the divine medicine to save his master before, which can be described as righteous and noble. Now he has such strength and magnanimity. He is truly a gentleman."

Regardless of what the other party says or their attitude,

As a seasoned veteran, he certainly wouldn't accept the offer. So he quickly apologized and started carrying the sedan chair, taking the opportunity to promote Li Xijun's reputation.

Otherwise, he was genuinely afraid that by the end of the day, the rumors in Tianjin would have spread like wildfire.

If Fang Tianying were to be portrayed as a villain by those common people and storytellers, how would he ever be able to survive in Tianjin again?

The two of them stood in front of the most bustling commercial street, exchanging compliments and flattery for quite some time.

The others roughly understood what was going on.

After Li Xijun and Fang Tianying bowed and said goodbye, the local Tianjin men, young and old, who all knew how to perform crosstalk, couldn't wait to spread the news.

In the alleyways of ordinary people on the west side,

A thin young man with bare arms sat on the large millstone, his left leg crossed and his right leg dangling, spitting as he spoke to his peers sitting on the ground in the alley below:

"You just didn't see it!"

"Wow! The scene back then, when Master Li threw that punch, half of Tianjin was shaken!"

"A killer who had mastered the Marrow Cleansing Technique, a grandmaster who was the top in Tianjin, was like a dead dog back then."

The group of teenagers below listened with rapt attention, their minds filled with wonder, and they couldn't help but fantasize.

In the future, I will save up some money so that one day I can enter the Killing Martial Arts School to practice martial arts and have a famous reputation in Tianjin.

Among the various restaurants in Tianjin,

The indispensable storyteller, with a clapper and a light wave of his folding fan, began to speak in a measured tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we'll narrate an earth-shattering battle on the main street of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce!"

"That Master Li Xijun, though young, has already reached the Grandmaster realm of Marrow Cleansing, truly a genius! Back then, he studied under Zhang Wusheng, practicing diligently day and night, enduring the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, until his muscles and bones were as strong as steel and his blood flowed like a dragon!"

What's even more remarkable is that this young man is pure of heart, grateful for kindness, and willing to exhaust his divine medicine to save his master. Such a righteous act deserves high praise from everyone in the martial world: "His loyalty is as high as the heavens!"

The last four words, spoken in a theatrical style, suddenly rose in pitch, with a change and shift in tone that drew applause.

"As for that assassin, although he was also a master of the Marrow Cleansing Technique, he was a treacherous and despicable scoundrel who took advantage of others' unpreparedness to strike with deadly force! But what kind of person is Young Hero Li? He moved like lightning, his fists struck like thunder, and with a single move, 'Mountain Shattering and Rock Splitting,' he pierced through the assassin's chest, shattering his bones and tendons! The poor grandmaster didn't even utter a sound before he perished!"

"The power of that punch was like the bright moon in the sky, shaking half of Tianjin and leaving all the onlookers terrified!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gavel snapped down, and the storyteller's tone instantly rose:

"Upon seeing this, the world exclaimed: 'His fists shook Tianjin, his benevolence and righteousness moved heaven and earth!' This is truly the best in Tianjin!"

That night

The entire Killing Body Martial Arts School was unusually lively.

Since the headmaster, Zhang Fuhu, became bedridden, the atmosphere at the Killing Body Martial Arts School has become increasingly gloomy. Many of the original disciples have left to find their own way, making the entire martial arts school much quieter.

In particular, Li Xijun had been in seclusion for more than ten days, and there were many rumors that made the martial arts school disciples feel uneasy.

Such a volatile situation,

Until Li Xijun killed the master assassin who had achieved the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing in the street,

Upon returning, he hung the severed head on the dry flagpole in front of the martial arts school.

The entire Killing Body Martial Arts School became as stable as Mount Tai within half a day.

The martial arts disciples, who all felt relieved, had been granted permission by Meng Qifeng to buy a large amount of fine wine and meat. They set it up on the table in the martial arts training ground and ate and drank heartily, creating quite a lively scene.

During this time, Li Xijun, who made a brief appearance here, nodded slightly, much like Zhang Fuhu had done before, as if to offer his regards to his disciples.

Unbeknownst to him, his aura grew increasingly imposing, and Yu Xiangyang, who was following beside him, unknowingly fell half a step behind.

Once everything was in order,

Li Xijun sent him off to the martial arts arena to drink with his fellow disciples, while he went alone to the back hall of his residence.

He first went to see his master, who was now in good health and had lived several decades longer, but had been in a coma.

Then the back door was closed.

They took the tea table to the wall next to it and, following Zhang Fuhu's method, opened the hidden compartment.

Li Xijun didn't look at anything else, but took out one of the thin books, sat on the grand master's chair in the back hall, and opened the first page of the Marrow Cleansing Manual.

[The Secret Method of Cleansing Marrow for the Black Tortoise]

These eight large characters instantly caught Li Xijun's eye, accompanied by a pattern depicting a tortoise and a snake.

The pattern looks somewhat abstract, with a hint of visualization, making it very easy to remember.

Behind that were pictures of cultivators, with densely packed small characters next to them, providing detailed annotations on each movement and breath. Some of the characters were old, while others were clear. The annotations were added recently and were easy to understand, almost like short essays.

This touched Li Xijun's heart for a moment.

He took a deep breath and continued to concentrate on his studies, silently reciting the incantation of this secret method:

"The tortoise and snake intertwine, water and fire are in harmony; with the true essence of the Black Tortoise, one tempers their marrow and bones, undergoing a complete transformation."
