Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

late at night.

There were no lights in the newly renovated yard.

There was a soft thud on the wall.

The stranger who had been watching Li Tianxing ever since he left the money exchange climbed over the wall.

There was almost no sound.

The moment he landed, his feet made solid contact with the ground, and the force dissipated.

The bluestone slabs in the courtyard trembled slightly, but no sound was heard.

This person is at the peak of the second realm, the Blood Bone Realm. His muscles and bones have become one, and he has extremely strong control over his power!

After landing, the stranger did not rush to move.

He closed his eyes and listened for a moment.

Only after confirming that it was safe did they proceed towards the door.

"That kid should live in this house!"

The stranger heard breathing sounds coming from inside the house.

He took a step closer and reached out to push the door open.

Just as his fingertips touched the door frame.

A voice suddenly came from behind him!

Li Tianxing stood behind him and said leisurely:

I've been waiting for you for so long!

Are you after money, or are you after life?

The man's pupils constricted, and he drew his knife with a backhand!

He didn't test the waters; with a flash of his blade, it was a killing move!

The cold blade sliced ​​through the air and cleaved forward, heading straight for Li Tianxing's Adam's apple!

Li Tianxing suddenly turned to the side, and the blade grazed his neck!

They cut off a few strands of his hair!

The opponent closed in with a single step, then exerted force with their foot!

With a "crack," the bluestone slab showed a fine crack!

The sword strikes began, unleashing three consecutive slashes!

The three slashes, from top to bottom, were aimed at the throat, chest, and abdomen in sequence!

Clean and efficient, every strike deadly!

Li Tianxing retreated several steps to avoid the blade's edge.

A fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes, and his blade suddenly hardened!

He pressed down on the blade with all his might, delivering another heavy slash close to Li Tianxing's chest!

Li Tianxing stopped retreating and suddenly raised his hand.

"Five Poisons Returning to Origin Palm!"

Li Tianxing's palms seemed to be coated with a layer of black iron as he forcefully blocked the blade!

"clang--"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the silent night.

The man felt a jolt from the blade, and his hand went numb!

He was greatly alarmed...

The other person actually managed to catch his knife with their bare hands!

It seems this kid is practicing palm techniques!

This stranger unleashed his full power!

He suddenly drew his knife, the blade slicing past Li Tianxing's ribs!

Instead of retreating, Li Tianxing advanced, taking a step forward.

He slapped the other person in the chest!

"boom--"

A muffled thud was heard, like two iron discs hitting each other!

Li Tianxing frowned slightly:

"His chest is so hard; it seems he has the strength of someone who has reached the Great Perfection of the Second Realm, Blood Bone Realm."

This person is only one step away from the third realm, the Condensation Realm!

Jinhai is indeed a large place.

Even a petty thief possesses the strength of blood and bones forged together.

The man felt a burning sensation in his chest.

It looks like it's been corroded by toxins!

He didn't have time to check his injuries; he could only immediately steady himself!

At this moment, the two were too close, so the man abandoned his knife and used his elbow.

With a gust of wind, his elbow slammed into Li Tianxing's temple.

Li Tianxing raised his arm to block, and their arms collided instantly.

The energy dispersed, and a cold wind swept through the courtyard!

If this had happened to an ordinary Blood Bone Realm Marrow Nourishing Martial Artist, their arm would probably have been broken long ago!

After all, the other party is at the same level as the one who has been in the same realm, which is a level higher than the one who has been in the marrow nourishment realm!

However, Li Tianxing remained unmoved, his eyes turning completely cold!

This petty thief is quite capable, and probably even part of an organized group...

The man sensed something was wrong.

He won't have the upper hand in close combat!

He immediately took a half step back, flicked his toes, and picked up the knife from the ground.

He switched the knife to his left hand, changed his stance, and slid in close to the ground.

The explosive power of blood and bones being forged together is fully unleashed at this moment!

The bluestone slab beneath the man's feet exploded, and the figure moved like an arrow, the tip of the knife flashing low, stabbing towards Li Tianxing's lower abdomen!

Li Tianxing stopped dodging and suddenly exerted force with his right leg, charging towards his opponent!

The two clashed almost simultaneously, and the distance between them instantly became zero.

Li Tianxing was faster than this person had imagined!

In an instant, Li Tianxing's left hand gripped the other man's wrist holding the knife!

His five fingers were as hard as iron; the man tried to pull his knife away and retreat, but he couldn't.

He felt a lingering fear...

How is this possible? This kid is only at the Marrow Nourishing level, clearly a level weaker than me, how could he have such speed and power!

This man's muscles were taut, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging!

The two forces are locked in a stalemate!

He used all his strength, but he couldn't budge Li Tianxing even an inch.

A look of surprise appeared in the man's eyes. The power of the peak Blood Bone Realm had been suppressed just like that!

"So what if you're at the peak of the Blood Bone Realm!"

They are experts in the third realm, the Condensation Realm.

I've done it too!

Li Tianxing turned his other hand into a fist and brought it down suddenly!

It felt like a mountain was pressing down on us!

"Collapse Mountain Boxing Technique! See the Mountain!"

"boom--"

Li Tianxing punched his opponent in the face.

The other person's nose bone collapsed, and blood splattered on the freshly painted wall!

However, the man did not fall; instead, he let out a low growl.

With all his might, he swung his sword again, aiming for Li Tianxing's side!

"clang--"

Water-ripple scales appeared around Li Tianxing's waist, blocking the attack!

His aura also began to become sinister and slippery!

Under the moonlight, a blurry, illusory water monkey seemed to float behind him.

The man noticed Li Tianxing's change, and his pupils constricted sharply.

"You are a demon's accomplice!"

Li Tianxing's eyes darkened under the influence of the demonic soul "Demon Resilience".

He also began to become even more bloodthirsty!

Li Tianxing twisted his wrist.

His arm twisted around the knife-wielding wrist at an incredible angle!

Li Tianxing suddenly squeezed!

"Click—"

The man's wrist was crushed, and the long knife fell from his hand to the ground!

At the same time, Li Tianxing grabbed his arm and pulled him down!

His knee suddenly rose and slammed heavily into the man's ribs!

A clear sound of ribs breaking rang out!

One, two!

The opponent's body was forced to cave in by Li Tianxing's knee.

He was lying on the ground, completely exhausted!

Li Tianxing looked down at his opponent.

His pupils gleamed faintly with gold in the night.

The palms became long and slender, and the nails turned into sharp blades.

Demon Soul Stream activated!

The originally eerie atmosphere gradually transformed into a bewitching allure.

The man lay on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

"You're not a demon's accomplice, your aura has changed!?"

Who are you? Are you human or a ghost?

Li Tianxing crouched down and used his sharp claws to sever the tendons in the other man's hand:

"This sentence..."

Shouldn't I be the one asking you?

Who sent you?

The man grinned, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth:

"I was blind and didn't see your true colors!"

I'm a member of the Muddy Waters Gang, responsible for robbing wealthy merchants...

I am no match for you.

Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!

"The Muddy Waters Gang?"

Li Tianxing looked down at the other person and continued to ask:

"What exactly do you do?"

What is your position within the Muddy Waters Gang?

Tell me your story clearly. If you have any use to me, I might let you go.

Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself...

I am a newcomer to this city of Tianjin.

If I can contact the leader of the Muddy Waters Gang through this person, I can ask him to help me find information about the spirit and flesh.

Then, wouldn't it be wonderful to find an opportunity to swallow up the Muddy Waters Gang?!

On the surface, I run a clinic here, but secretly I control the Muddy Waters Gang...

This will be of great use to me in establishing myself in Tianjin!

The man was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but judging from Li Tianxing's expression, he didn't seem to be joking!

He calmed himself down and said slowly:

"My name is Zheng Yong..."
