Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

boom!

The wooden windows of the dilapidated courtyard shattered with a crash.

Li Yu, whom I had met once before, rushed out covered in blood, a leather whip in his left hand and a short gun in his right.

But they weren't there for Wang Qi.

Instead, it was pointing towards the spot where the kestrel was pointing.

"court death."

On the dilapidated high wall, another muscular man wearing a cowhide-lined vest leaped up, wielding a kitchen knife and drawing a stunning silver line in mid-air.

The two disagreed and charged into a fight.

The weapons in his hand, which looked like nothing more than a 'kitchen knife' and a 'harpoon', had the power to cut through iron like mud when he slashed.

Wherever the swords and spears passed, they left either large cracks or holes.

The two men moved with firm footwork, and after more than a dozen moves, not a single one of them was seen panting.

To know,

Fighting is a very physically demanding activity.

Especially when masters clash, a single move can consume the energy of a bowl of white rice.

"The one with the kitchen knife is Hu Tu, the 'little butcher' from the sewer alley."

Sun Li appeared beside Wang Qi at some point and introduced him to him in a low voice.

"As his name suggests, he is the young manager of a pork shop. However, he is also a rare 'wild warrior' who has never entered the government or studied at a martial arts school or gang. He has cultivated to the internal strength realm by relying on his family's pig-slaughtering knife skills and pork and pig demon meat."

"He even formed a 'Butcher Gang' in the sewers, making himself the gang leader. He defended against other gangs demanding protection money, and incidentally, he slew demons and monsters in the sewers to maintain peace."

"Sometimes when our fast-track class encounters a tricky situation, we have to ask him for help."

"A truly gifted individual," Wang Qi exclaimed in amazement.

The difference between having a teacher and not having one is enormous.

This Hu Tu looks to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, and his hands are sharp and his knife skills are extremely powerful... He is thorough in every aspect.

"The reason this person was able to cultivate so quickly is mainly because he comprehended a certain aura; I guess he's slaughtered too many pigs."

Sun Li spoke very cautiously.

That is indeed a gifted individual.

There aren't too many butchers in Heihe County, but those who can command respect...

Or rather, very few people have even heard of the word "momentum".

Whoosh~

Rocks flew everywhere, one of them grazing Wang Qi's cheek.

He looked at the breach in the corner of the wall, which was very close by; the cut was extremely smooth.

boom!

Another gunshot wound, poked above the cut.

The gun holes were completely open, making it look much less impressive.

Comparing the two, Wang Qi immediately put the knowledge taught by Zhang Yuan into practice.

"This butcher, Hu Tu, practices the metal element of the Five Elements."

Wang Qi spoke.

As for Li Yu, there's no need to guess. He's the son of the Black River Gang's ship owner, and he's trained in water-based skills to make it easier for him to operate on water.

"This Li Yu is actually fighting so hard against 'Little Butcher'!" Wang Qi realized belatedly.

If I remember correctly, the Black River Gang's ship owner is only at the Inner Strength realm... Even if Li Fengchao came in person, he might not be able to achieve such a record.

This Li Yu...

He's quite a character.

The two strong martial artists were incredibly fierce; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their blades and spears caused the earth to crumble and walls to shatter. Although part of the reason was that the houses in the sewer alley were not very durable, Wang Qi was still astonished by their strength.

Persistent and powerful.

"If an externally trained martial artist wants to fight an internally trained martial artist, he's just asking for trouble and courting death."

Wang Qi murmured to himself, filled with emotion.

"Internal martial artists cultivate the five elements and strengthen their five internal organs, making them far stronger than external martial artists... It's naturally as difficult as climbing to heaven for them to cross realms," Sun Li added from the side.

Wang Qishen agreed.

In those novels from my past life, people would often kill those who were above their level, which sounded exciting... but it was also really difficult.

"Master, let's go inside and take a look."

Little Black appeared out of nowhere.

"I'm very curious about what's going on inside." Little Black flicked its tongue excitedly, its tail wagging wildly.

"You've studied quite a wide range of things."

Wang Qi's eyes held a complex expression.

This little black cat that can speak is indeed quite intelligent, but its "enlightenment" was poor, and it's hard to imagine who it learned its knowledge from.

Oh, it doesn't seem that hard to imagine...

Adulterers, adulteresses, and dogs.

boom!

Another flying stone grazed Wang Qi's cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

"That's really too dangerous."

Wang Qi glanced at Sun Li, who nodded.

The two people and the snake slithered directly into the house.

The courtyard outside is old and dilapidated, but inside lies a completely different world.

The ground was spotless, and even the beams had been wiped clean with a cloth.

Firewood, an eight-immortal table, several stools, and thick cotton quilts were all provided.

On the bed was a half-naked woman, her back covered in whip marks.

He appeared to have passed out.

A man was kneeling on the other side, his face obscured... he also appeared to be unconscious.

Sun Li bypassed the view through the broken window, walked to the bedside, grabbed the man's hair, and lifted his head up.

"He does look somewhat like Li Fengchao, but he is not him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi lingered between the woman and the man who resembled Li Fengchao.

"The relationship between this father and son is quite complicated."

But now is not the time to think about that.

He turned to look at Xiao Hei, "Didn't you say there was a lot of stuff here? In your mouth, 'adulterers' are the real 'big stuff'?"

Xiao Hei shook his head. "This is definitely the right place."

"I don't know where things went wrong."

Looking at Xiao Hei's confused eyes, Wang Qi guessed that it had probably been tricked.

Wang Qi added, "Maybe everyone has discovered that there is a python demon here, and they all want to get a share of the spoils."

Sun Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's so rare for a martial artist from Heihe County to avoid living demons like the plague, let alone actively seek them out to kill."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to be my partner."

boom!

As they were speaking, the wall collapsed with a loud crash.

A figure flew backwards and landed directly on the woman on the bed.

"Fisherman, spare my life!"

The woman woke up groggily, crying and begging for mercy.

But Li Yu sprang to his feet and saw two people and a snake in the room, especially Wang Qi...

"Wang Qi, I'll f*** your grandpa!"

Why are you yelling at me?!

Wang Qi frowned, then became very angry.

It's one thing for him not to criticize the Black River Gang for abusing their power, but instead he turned around and started criticizing him.

It's truly unreasonable for the weak to be weak!

Li Yu lunged forward in a lunge stance, then bent over and thrust his spear at Wang Qi.

The sudden attack caught Sun Li off guard.

He immediately drew his sword and rushed towards Wang Qi, but the distance between the two was too short, only a step.

Too late!

Strengthen your inner self and train your outer skills; one shot is all you need!

Is it broken...?

Sparks flew before Sun Li's eyes, and the faint roar of beasts echoed in her ears.

The exchange, visible in their pupils, ended lightly with Wang Qi flipping backward and withdrawing, dissipating the force of the spear.

Li Yu took a half step back and firmly stepped on the hand of the man who looked just like Li Fengchao.

"Ah~"

A piercing scream came from the man's mouth, proclaiming that Li Yu had definitely not held back at all in this move.

What happened?!

A whole host of questions popped into Sun Li and Li Yu's minds at the same time.

Li Yu felt a tremor in his right hand and his heart trembled.

Did this guy just use some kind of secret technique to shake the blade and neutralize his own power?

I've actually put in so much effort.

It seems that he has won in terms of strength, but Wang Qi is completely superior in terms of 'skill'.

"How could this be?" Li Yu was shocked.

"Why not?"

Wang Qi sneered.

That cut was satisfying!

boom!

The butcher, Hu Tu, kicked open a corner of the earthen wall and squeezed in from the outside.

"Wow, there are quite a few people here."

"Officer Sun? You're here to capture this transvestite too?"

Hu Tu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Sun Li.

"I told you, I'm not some transvestite! I'm a black..." Li Yu's voice stopped abruptly. He glanced at the situation in the room, clearly unwilling to reveal his identity.

He had no idea of ​​the "true identities" of the two people in his room, or whether anyone had overheard what he had just said.

If the "true identity" of the person in this house were revealed to his father, who is only good at bullying his own family, then he would be in trouble.

It seems that my plan, which I have been preparing for for many years, is about to fall apart.

but……

Sun Li and Wang Qi recognized him.

Let's take a gamble!

Li Yu said in a deep voice, "I am Li Yu, the son of boat owner Li Fengchao, and a subordinate of Hong Yu, the 'Fish in the Water' boss of the Black River Gang."

"They're here to catch demons too."

"No..." The man beneath him suddenly cried out, as if trying to tell the truth.

But the next moment,

Li Yu pierced the man's throat with a single spear thrust.

"These two thieves harbored a snake demon and provided it with protection...they deserve to die!"

Li Yu's eyes were cold as he looked at Xiao Hei.

"Look, isn't that snake demon right inside the house?"

"Waaaaah..." Xiao Hei cried out anxiously, "You adulterer, don't spout nonsense! You were doing illicit things with that Li Fengchao guy in the house!"

"I heard it with my own ears, what kind of demon did you catch?"

Wang Qi and Sun Li frowned, looking somewhat like Nanbang.

Hu Tu's eyes widened in disbelief; a person could actually be with their own father...

"Shut up!"

Li Yu's face turned green.

"I'm with this woman! Woman!" The voice was almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.

He brandished his pistol, aiming at Little Black Thorn.

next moment,

A cold glint flashed in the corner of his eye.

The swords and spears clashed again, and there was another shock.

Li Yu felt his hands trembling, his eyes fixed on Wang Qi, who was moving sideways.

the second time!

His attack was blocked by this martial artist who had reached the outer cultivation level.

"What kind of move is that?" Li Yu asked incredulously.

Wang Qi remained calm.

His hands were numb, and even his feet ached from Li Yu's excessive force.

But he could feel the shocked gazes of the people around him, especially Li Yu's.

All he cares about is pleasure!

Some time ago, Li Yu blocked the entrance of the constable's office and threatened me.

Who can swallow this insult?

Wang Qi spoke up, "Internal strength is used for external training, and you still have the nerve to ask questions after beating like this... Do you even know martial arts?"
