Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 155 Shocked Qiu Changming

Sima Yi suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood and staggered back a few steps.

This was partly because Lin Qing's punches were too powerful, and partly because he was already seriously injured.

What's even more frustrating is that his Yuan Gang armor, which he had just condensed, was shattered in the battle with Yang Chenglu and the other man. He couldn't condense a second one in a short time. Otherwise, even if Lin Qing had the strength of a million men, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Before he could think, Lin Qing pounced again, and the two were locked in combat once more.

With a loud bang, the aftershocks of the fight swept across the area, leveling many stone walls and wooden houses. Many villagers were awakened by the fighting and scattered in all directions, shouting as they fled.

As the number of punches and kicks between the two increased, Sima Yi's internal injuries became more and more severe, and blood seeped from his mouth, nose and ears.

Suddenly, his injuries reached a critical point. His senses became blurred, and his legs began to weaken, greatly reducing his mobility.

Lin Qing seized the opportunity and punched Sima Yi squarely in the chest, causing him to be severely injured again and sent flying backward.

This time, his old and new injuries combined, leading to a major outburst that he could no longer suppress. After falling to the ground, he slid backward, creating a trench several meters long in the ground.

Lin Qing rushed in front of him. Sima Yi opened his mouth and shouted, but before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared, and his head was already severed and fell to the ground.

In that instant, Lin Qing felt a sense of exhilaration from the bottom of his heart. This villain who had wreaked havoc in the prefectural city and committed countless sins was finally dead.

After the initial joy, Lin Qing regained his composure. He reached out and rummaged through Sima Yi's corpse for a while, pulling out several silver notes and about a dozen small medicine bottles of different colors, each about the size of a thumb. These contained various forbidden drugs developed by the Yin Yuan Sect. There was nothing else besides these.

Lin Qing reached out and placed his hand on the corpse, activating his fiery qi, and quickly burned the corpse to ashes.

Then, he tore off a piece of cloth from nearby, wrapped it around Sima Yi's head, and ran at top speed toward Yuanshan Town.

Killing Sima Yi would be a great achievement, and he could use it to retrieve some treasures or advanced martial arts techniques from the Zhenhun Division's treasury.

Moreover, Sima Yi was the leader of all Yin Yuan Sect believers in Ishikawa Prefecture and their spiritual pillar.

Hanging his head on the city gate would severely damage the morale of the Yin Yuan Sect followers, but it could bring a long period of peace to the prefecture.

Not long after.

Lin Qing ran across the wilderness, and Yuanshan Town came into view ahead.

As he looked around, he mentally reviewed the battle that had just taken place.

The reason he was able to kill Sima Yi this time was not only because of his extraordinary physical strength, but also because of two other factors.

First, his lightness skill was unparalleled; if not the best in the prefecture, he was certainly among the top three, which allowed him to keep up with Sima Yi.

Secondly, Sima Yi was too badly injured. The greatest reliance of a Yuan Gang warrior is the Yuan Gang Armor, which can greatly enhance physical strength. However, once the Yuan Gang Armor is broken, their combat power will plummet, only equivalent to a powerful True Yuan Realm warrior.

"I can't take such risks next time. Even when Sima Yi was seriously injured and his combat power was greatly reduced, he was able to hold his own against me for so long. If he were at his peak or not so badly injured, I would have almost no hope of winning," Lin Qing thought to himself.

However, fortune favors the bold, and this attack yielded great results. A powerful figure like Sima Yi must possess a fourth-order combat technique at a high level or even perfected, which is exactly what he needs right now.

at this time.

Inside Yuanshan Town, Qiu Changming and his group had completely brought the situation under control. While cleaning up the battlefield and disposing of the corpses, they tied up the captured Yin Yuan Sect followers with ropes and then gathered them in an open area at the town's exit.

"Why hasn't Lin Qing returned yet?" Wang Ling gazed into the distance, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Lin Qing is very good at light footwork, he'll be fine," Qiu Changming said from the side.

"Wait a little longer. If they haven't returned by dawn, we'll split up. You take one group to escort these believers back to the city, and I'll take the other group to find them. We need to see them alive or dead," Wang Ling said in a deep voice.

"Is Lin Qing that important to you? Look how anxious you are," Qiu Changming teased.

"Lin Qing is likely the most talented martial artist in the history of my Shichuan Prefecture. It is a pity that such a genius died. He will definitely achieve even greater things in the future, and may even become famous throughout the Great Yuan Dynasty." Wang Ling said with certainty.

Just then, a figure came rushing from a distance, leaping and landing between the houses at great speed. In just a few breaths, he had already landed in front of Wang Ling and the others.

"See? I told you, Lin Qing is a man of principle, how could he possibly die?" Qiu Changming smiled, then suddenly saw Lin Qing smash a round object on the ground.

"Huh? What's this?" Qiu Changming lifted the outermost layer of coarse cloth and suddenly saw Sima Yi's head. Even with his usually calm demeanor, he was so shocked that he cried out, "Oh my goodness, how can this be Sima Yi's head?"

He didn't control the volume, so the sound traveled far and immediately alarmed everyone around.

The eyes of many of the Soul Suppressing Division officers immediately focused on Sima Yi's head on the ground, their eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Sima Yi is dead?"

"My God, it really is him!"

"Lord Lin is truly a god descended to earth, he's amazing!"

Everyone gasped in surprise and began to discuss the matter.

Wang Ling was also stunned at first, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

"Lin Qing, what happened? How could Sima Yi die at your hands?"

Qiu Changming, standing to the side, was also filled with doubt. Sima Yi was a Yuan Gang martial artist. Not to mention a Zhen Gang martial artist, even a Zhen Yuan realm martial artist would die in a single encounter with him.

Lin Qing didn't hide anything and briefly explained what had happened. However, he slightly modified the details of the battle, emphasizing that Sima Yi was seriously injured and that he had downplayed his superior physique.

After listening, Qiu Changming couldn't help but exclaim, "Lin Qing, you're incredibly audacious! Even if Sima Yi is seriously injured, he's still a Yuan Gang martial artist. Besides, how do you know he wasn't faking it? That old scoundrel is cunning!"

"Old Qiu is right. Looking back, I also felt a bit scared. However, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I didn't want to miss it. Fortunately, the result was good." Lin Qing nodded.

"What you said makes sense. If we let this old thief go, it won't be long before he recovers to his peak. Who knows when he'll be able to seize an opportunity like today again?" Qiu Changming agreed.

"Lin Qing, this is a tremendous achievement. After tonight, not only Shichuan, but I think other surrounding prefectures will know your name," Wang Ling suddenly said.

"The younger generation is truly formidable," Qiu Changming remarked.

"By the way, where is General Yang?" Lin Qing asked suddenly as he glanced around.

"General Yang and Jin Yulong have already rushed to the prefectural city. Just now, someone sent a message by hawk that the possessed spirit-devouring devil is wreaking havoc in the prefectural city. We must stop it as soon as possible, otherwise, if we let him kill all night, we don't know how much his combat power will grow." Qiu Changming's face was solemn.
