Can diligence compensate for lack of talent? But I'm a martial arts genius!

"To catch the thief, catch the king!"

The obese man had cold eyes, and he locked his gaze on Zhou Huai at a glance.

Most of the militiamen were wearing padded armor, but Zhou Huai, as the leader of the militia, was better equipped, wearing a set of iron armor. Therefore, the fat man could tell at a glance that he was the leader of this militia!

"kill!"

Zhou Huai's expression was solemn, and he dared not be careless. He took the initiative to strike first, drawing a long sword from its sheath. His whole body surged with power, and he slashed the fat man with great force, aiming to kill the fat man who was the vanguard, intimidate the enemy, and boost the morale of his own side!

As the leader of the militia of Woniu Town, Zhou Huai had been in the Strong Blood Realm for many years and was no weakling. His slash was like a silver waterfall sweeping across the land.

"clang!"

However, the obese man blocked with his arm. Zhou Huai's slash struck the obese man's arm, producing a crisp metallic clang. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the obese man was wearing a pair of metal wrist guards on his arms, capable of withstanding sword and blade strikes!

"Take this punch!"

After blocking Zhou Huai's fierce strike, the fat man retaliated by throwing out his right fist, which slammed into Zhou Huai's chest.

"Bang!"

A tremendous force surged forth, causing Zhou Huai to stagger backward. He felt waves of excruciating pain in his chest. If he hadn't been wearing armor, with metal plates reinforcing his vital areas, he would have surely suffered broken bones and torn tendons!

"A martial artist at the Refining Realm? This band of bandits actually has such a powerful member?"

Zhou Huai's expression was grim. After just one exchange, he was certain that his opponent could easily suppress him and must be a martial artist in the Refining Realm!

"kill!"

Without giving Zhou Huai a chance to catch his breath, the obese man launched a fierce attack on him.

Whoosh!

But suddenly, from the chaotic crowd, a tall black figure rushed out with lightning speed. It was Su Changqing from the crowd. Naturally, he did not choose to stand idly by and took action directly!

Raging Bull Fist - Charge into the City!

Su Changqing charged out wildly, his feet landing with earth flying everywhere, like a charging bull. He slammed his fist into the fat man's abdomen.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, even with the obese man's size and weight, he was still knocked back by Su Changqing's attack, which used the momentum of the impact. His feet carved two deep furrows in the ground before he finally stopped his retreat!

"Hmm? We failed to inflict a fatal wound on him?"

Su Changqing was somewhat surprised. His attack had used the "rushing" force of the Wild Bull Fist, making it unstoppable. However, in his perception, the fat man was not only wearing leather armor, but when Su Changqing's fist struck his abdomen, the muscles in his abdomen became as soft as cotton wool, dissipating the force and causing him to suffer little damage.

"Mr. Cow!"

Seeing that Su Changqing had defeated the obese man, Zhou Huai and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

This obese man was more terrifying than a wild beast, injuring several militiamen in succession. Even Zhou Huai, one of the top experts in Woniu Town, suffered a slight loss in the first exchange. Only this "Mr. Niu" could handle him!

"Is there a master?"

The obese man's eyes immediately lit up with surprise and joy. If this group of people were all good-for-nothings, he wouldn't be very interested in them at all!

"Splash!"

At that moment, several martial artists dressed in different styles rushed out from the woods ahead. They were all armed with weapons and stared at the militiamen with fierce expressions. The militiamen also hurriedly gripped their weapons, their nerves on edge in the face of these ruthless bandits.

The refined-looking man at the head of the group narrowed his eyes, locking onto Su Changqing. Looking at the strangely dressed Su Changqing, he couldn't help but ask, "I am Sun Jin, one of the Three Heroes of Mangshan. Who are you?"

The person who could force the obese man back with a single blow must be a master of the Refining Realm, someone who would be famous in any small place. Therefore, the refined man took the initiative to introduce himself and wanted to know Su Changqing's background!

"The Three Heroes of Mangshan?"

The refined-looking man, Sun Jin, introduced himself. Su Changqing had never heard of this name before, but it caused Zhou Huai's expression to change.

"Mr. Niu... The Three Heroes of Mangshan are the leaders of a bandit gang. The eldest, 'Sun Jin,' the second, 'Zhang Junming,' and the third, 'Qi Hao,' are all martial arts masters with unique skills. I heard they were previously besieged by the Dafeng Army, but I didn't expect them to have fled here... They are an extremely dangerous and ruthless bandit group!"

Zhou Huai quickly whispered a reminder to Su Changqing.

Zhou Huai was also shocked. He knew that this group of bandits was probably not simple, but he did not expect that the leader of this group of bandits was the "Three Heroes of Mangshan", who had a bad reputation in Dafeng County!

"I see……"

Su Changqing nodded slightly. No wonder the fat man was able to take his punch without being seriously injured; he was the third of the three heroes of Mangshan! His martial arts level was quite impressive!

Sun Jin laughed and said, "Your skill in defeating my third brother is extraordinary. There's no need for us to fight to the death; let's retreat here!"

Sun Jin then directly told everyone to leave.

Zhou Huai's heart tightened immediately. If he retreated directly, the bandit suppression would be fruitless, and he would definitely be held responsible!

But Su Changqing's eyes burned with fierce determination as he declared, "Enough with the nonsense! I never hold back when I make a move. Come on!"

Su Changqing naturally couldn't just retreat like that. At the same time, he also had a strong fighting spirit in his heart. Facing the martial artists outside Woniu Town, he wanted to see what kind of skills they had!

"court death!"

A cold glint flashed in the fat man's eyes. He was forced back by Su Changqing's attack. He was already displeased. His side was willing to let them go, but Su Changqing still dared to speak so arrogantly. He would make Su Changqing understand what it meant to overestimate himself.

"roar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the obese man let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests. His seemingly fat flesh rippled like water, and his strength surged to its peak. He then strode towards Su Changqing.

"The Monument Piercer!"

The obese man's nearly two-meter-tall body resembled a small mountain of flesh, and he slammed his large, fan-like hand down on Su Changqing's head.

Whoosh!

The force of this palm strike was powerful enough to split stone tablets and shatter rocks. Even before it landed, one could feel a strong gust of wind rushing towards them!

Although the obese man was the third among the three heroes of Mangshan, his fighting strength was actually second to none. He was born with a strong physique and had cultivated profound external skills, reaching the realm of "refining dirt". He was eccentric and warlike, and many who were enemies of the three heroes of Mangshan lost their lives at his hands.

Hard Qigong!

Feeling the oppressive aura coming towards him, Su Changqing was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he took a deep breath, and his blood and qi surged rapidly, filling his muscles and skin. His muscles tightened and swelled, and a powerful sense of strength filled every inch of his body!

Su Changqing raised a long, powerful arm to meet the fat man's heavy palm strike, which was enough to crush a person's bones and muscles.

"Bang!"

The hand slammed down on Su Changqing's arm, producing a muffled thud. The ground beneath Su Changqing's feet trembled slightly as a tremendous force pressed down, causing his foot to sink an inch or two into the ground.

"What?"

However, the obese man was taken aback. Su Changqing simply lowered his arm slightly and took the blow head-on, as if this heavy attack was nothing special!

"Take this punch!"

Reaching the Refined Realm, which has the effect of tempering the body with the Wild Bull Fist, Su Changqing's physical body was already strong. With the addition of hard qigong, his strength was greatly enhanced, and he easily withstood the fat man's attack.

Raging Bull Fist - Angle Stance!

As he received the heavy blow from the obese man, Su Changqing clenched his right fist and unleashed his strongest power within a short distance. He concentrated all his strength into a single point, focusing it on his fist, and slammed it out, aiming directly at the obese man's abdomen.

"Block it!"

The obese man let out a low shout, and the fat on his abdomen tightened. The seemingly bloated fat was actually thick skin and muscles that had been forged and tempered, making them even tougher than cowhide. He had taken a punch from Su Changqing earlier without being injured, and now he hoped to block Su Changqing's attack as well!

"Bang!"

When Su Changqing's fist landed on his abdomen, the obese man groaned. The force of Su Changqing's punch exceeded his expectations. A sharp pain swept through his body, as if a sharp bull horn had pierced his abdomen!

After reaching the pinnacle of the Wild Bull Fist, one can master one of the three forces of impact, shock, and thrust: the "top" force. This move uses the hard parts of the head, elbows, and knees, combined with the momentum of the whole body, to perform a close-range thrust, concentrating the force into a single point. It has a powerful penetrating force, and with the support of hard qigong, it is no different from a real bull horn thrust!

A concentrated and powerful force pierced through the obese man's abdomen, directly attacking his intestines and internal organs.

"Crackling! Crackling!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out from inside the obese man's body—his ruptured intestines and stomach!

"Bang!"

The obese man, weighing nearly 300 pounds, was blasted like a ball, tumbling and flying backward before crashing to the ground.

"Cough...cough cough..."

The obese man tried to get up from the ground, but coughed up blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

"How...could this be...?"

The obese man's eyes widened, and a deep fist-shaped indentation appeared on his abdomen. Su Changqing's extremely penetrating punch had pierced through his muscles and ruptured his internal organs, an injury that could be fatal.

The combined power of a masterful hard qigong technique and the unparalleled power of the Wild Bull Fist is simply beyond the resistance of flesh and blood!
