Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

After killing the burly man, Wang Sheng wrapped his head in the man's clothes, then immediately retreated, pretending to be unable to continue.

Although he still had most of his strength left, he couldn't reveal too much or be too conspicuous in this kind of street brawl, otherwise it would easily cause trouble.

Moreover, in normal gang fights, as long as you can seriously injure a master of the same level and render him unable to fight, that is enough to be considered a respectable achievement.

Wang Sheng has now successfully killed a hostile Ming Jin martial artist, making him the first among all the masters to kill an enemy, which can be said to have directly dealt a blow to the morale of the Earth Dragon Gang.

If one side were to have an extra Ming Jin martial artist and allow him to infiltrate the ordinary gang members, it would be no different from a tiger entering a flock of sheep, resulting in a one-sided massacre.

Therefore, even if Wang Sheng stands aside, recuperating and not making a move, he is still a great threat to the ordinary people and Ming Jin martial artists of the Earth Dragon Gang.

In no time at all,

"Dong Wuzhe has been killed!"

"What? He died so quickly?"

"What if he charges at us?"

Many ordinary members of the Earth Dragon Gang were distracted by Wang Sheng's presence, and in their haste, they were either killed by their opponents or injured and forced to flee.

"Damn it, that Dong Xu really is a coward, he got killed so quickly!"

"We can't fight anymore. Dong Xu died too quickly, and the opponent now has an additional Ming Jin, which is too much of a threat."

The other Ming Jin martial artists from the Earth Dragon Gang also had to keep an eye on Wang Sheng, fearing that he might suddenly join in and fight them two against one.

This gradually led to the increasingly obvious defeat of the Earth Dragon Gang.

After a while,

The muddy dragon, who had prepared several underhanded tricks, failed and was severely injured by the whirlwind, fleeing in a sorry state.

The Earth Dragon Gang scattered like birds and beasts, some surrendering and others fleeing.

"Hahahaha! From today onwards, this Loach Street belongs to my Golden Bull Gang."

Niu Xuanfeng, leaning on his long axe, panted heavily as he watched the Earth Dragon Gang retreat, and laughed triumphantly.

"Congratulations, guild leader!"

Wang Sheng and the others quickly clasped their hands in greeting and said in unison.

"The Taurus Gang's success today is all thanks to everyone's efforts."

Niu Xuanfeng smiled and looked around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Wang Sheng.

"I, Old Niu, am not blind. Protector Wang, you have done a great service this time. Not only did you kill one of their generals, but you also made the people of the Earth Dragon Gang uneasy."

"I have decided to reward Protector Wang with three hundred taels of silver."

"Bull Whirlwind shouted loudly."

Throughout the entire battle, aside from those injured, two Ming Jin martial artists actually died. Wang Sheng killed one single-handedly. The other was surrounded and killed by two protectors of the Golden Bull Gang when the Earth Dragon Gang was retreating.

"Thank you, Chief. It's all I should do!"

Wang Sheng clasped his hands in a fist salute again, bowed his head, and said.

"Our leader is mighty! Our leader is mighty..."

The other members of the Golden Bull Gang also shouted with joy on their faces.

Since Protector Wang received a reward, the others will surely receive the rewards promised by the gang leader before the war.

"Hmph, this Protector Wang is quite something!"

Li Wu, the protector of the Golden Bull Gang, snorted coldly.

"We need to find an opportunity to meet with this Brother Wang. Why is he working so hard when he's just a figurehead? Isn't he making things difficult for us all?"

The burly-faced Protector Zhao Tun nodded.

Niu Xuanfeng began arranging manpower to maintain order on Mudfish Street, and most importantly, to notify the residents of Mudfish Street to pay protection money as soon as possible.

After receiving three hundred taels of silver from Niu Xuanfeng, Wang Sheng hurriedly left.

He desperately needs money.

These three hundred taels of silver were a great help to him.

Soon, Wang Sheng spent two hundred taels of silver to buy twenty high-quality Red Blood Pills from several pharmacies.

The phase of rapid power growth, where you improve by ten progress points every day, has begun again.

Moreover, as Wang Sheng's qi and blood became increasingly abundant and his spirits were full, he practiced the Great Stele-Smashing Hand for several hours every day, which was enough to bring out the full potential of the elixir.

Therefore, Wang Sheng had ample time to think about other things and find ways to improve his strength before the chaos arrived.

The rebel army in Nanling Prefecture has gained momentum, and the Han army in the north has already occupied the entire Dajing Prefecture.

Jiangling Prefecture, where Ershui City is located, is surrounded by formidable enemies. It has long been preparing for war, conscripting men and levying taxes everywhere, causing widespread panic and prices to rise day by day.

Many refugees from neighboring provinces, in order to avoid being conscripted into the army, caused a lot of trouble and bloodshed after they had just settled down.

It was at this moment that the true importance of martial artists was revealed. Many forces were throwing money around, recruiting martial artists on a large scale to strengthen their power, hoping to carve out a bloody path in the chaotic world to come.

When chaos strikes, without military force, one is left at the mercy of others.

"I've completed the first level of the Blood Stacking Technique. The second level requires a body refiner to cultivate. I wonder if the body refinement technique I bought from Niu Xuanfeng for fifty taels of silver was worth it!"

In the Zhao Family Martial Arts Academy, Wang Sheng sat in a corner, flipping through a yellowed, even stained, booklet in his hand: the Art of Forging Gold.

The Forging Gold Technique is indeed a body-refining method, but it's very broken, only half complete, at most reaching the minor mastery level of Internal Strength. The latter half shows signs of age and tearing.

"Open the panel!"

Wang Sheng acted on a whim.

Heaven rewards diligence: Learning will surely lead to success.

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Ming Jin]

[Master of Smashing Monuments: Xiao Cheng (435/1000)]

Alchemy: Beginner (35/100)

[Blood Stacking Technique: Level 1]

[Sinking Stone Stance Exercise: Minor Success (389/1000)]

"Although I have the support of Ming Jin cultivation and the strength to temper my body, I still can't even get started quickly. It seems that body tempering is really not easy."

Wang Sheng sighed.

He realized that if one were to enter the body-refining method, the physical body of a body refiner who had not yet developed internal strength would be much stronger than that of a Ming Jin martial artist.

If a Ming Jin martial artist runs out of energy, he might be beaten to death by a body cultivator who hasn't yet developed any energy and is just starting out in martial arts.

"Senior brother, I heard that Senior Brother Wu An is determined to get the Bone Strengthening Pill that Master mentioned, and he is working hard to generate strength."

Ge Xiaogu first called out "Senior Brother" twice, and when Wang Sheng looked up, she took a few steps closer and told him the information she had found out.

"Um."

Wang Sheng nodded casually.

He wanted to obtain the Bone Strengthening Pill so he could demonstrate his strength at any time.

But he can't rush it; he has to take it slow.

He was worried that Lin Shu held too much weight in Zhao Jie's heart, and that this weight hadn't dissipated yet. If Zhao Jie started to suspect him, things would get complicated.

Seeing that Wang Sheng didn't seem to care, Ge Xiaogu immediately changed the subject, saying, "Senior brother, recently there's been a lot of marriage going on in the city. I heard that war is coming, and many families want to marry their daughters to martial artists in exchange for their support. Martial artists also want to get married and have children to continue their bloodline."

"The key issue is that many wealthy families are now contacting the master, hoping to find a spouse among the senior disciples."

"Senior brother, this is a great opportunity. If we can establish a marriage alliance with a wealthy family, they will definitely be willing to spend money to train martial artists at this time."

"These young ladies from wealthy families are all pampered, fair-skinned, and incredibly beautiful; otherwise, they wouldn't be trying to recruit martial artists. Senior brother, if you give it your all, you might just win the heart of a beauty and greatly increase your strength!"
