Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Night had fallen, and the dead-end alley was completely silent.

Yunyi had nowhere left to retreat; her body trembled as she leaned against the cold wall.

Two men in black were approaching her step by step.

The two men were Ding San and Mao Si, henchmen of Hu Teng from Black Wind Village.

Yunyi's face turned deathly pale: "I've already made myself perfectly clear. I know nothing about Hu Jiao's death. Why are you still pressing me so hard!"

Ding San snorted, "Is that so?"

Mao Si grinned, "We investigated during the day. Hu Jiao has been trying to get you all this time. You dare say his death has nothing to do with you?"

"Tell me, did you hire someone to kill him?!"

Ding San opened his blood-red maw and was about to pounce.

Yunyi gritted her teeth: "It's true I won't submit to him, but what ability do I have to kill someone? Besides, where would I get the money to hire a killer?"

"That's hard to say!"

Mao Si shouted, "You're so handsome, you can hire a killer for free."

"you!"

Yunyi was instantly furious.

She certainly understood what Mao Si meant.

"Still not admitting it?"

Ding San continued to step forward, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "You only agree if you taste my fist, right?"

"In that case," Mao Si suggested, "Third Brother, let's take off her clothes and have some fun first, then kill her and take the body back to Senior Brother Hu to report."

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

"you……"

Yunyi wanted to call for help, but it was the middle of the night, and this was a dead end with no one around. Who could she ask for help from?

Moreover, even if someone passes by, will they be willing to lend a helping hand?

Hehehe!

Ding San's hand swaggered towards Yun Yi's chest.

Mao Si flanked her from the side to prevent her from escaping.

Swish!

Just as Ding San was about to succeed, a red sack full of stones flew out from the darkness in the blink of an eye.

It struck Ding San's head squarely.

"Third Brother, watch out!"

Mao Si hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

Ding San had no time to dodge and could only immediately retract his arm and raise his hand to block the sack.

Whoosh!

The sack fell to the ground, scattering gravel.

"Who?"

Ding Sanmao Si immediately turned around.

Under the moonlight, a black figure quickly appeared at the entrance of the dead-end alley.

"It's you!"

Mao Si recognized the person who came.

The dark figure was none other than Shen Han.

He moved with lightning speed, reaching Yun Yi in a few steps, and coldly said to Ding Sanmao, "Gentlemen, didn't you want to know who killed Hu Jiao? I'll tell you now."

"Could it be you?"

Ding San clenched his fists; he had already guessed it.

"Ha, you're very clever!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Han made his move.

He concentrated his strength into his right fist and punched Ding San in the face. Facing two opponents, he had to strike first and catch them off guard.

Ding San was startled and hurriedly threw a punch to block.

Boom!

Their fists clashed.

Shen Han stood firmly and motionless.

"not good!"

Ding San stumbled back several steps, feeling a sharp pain in the bones of his hand. "Fourth brother, this guy is tough. Let's attack him together and kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Si raised his fist and charged in from the side.

"Xiao Shen!"

Yunyi was so frightened that her hands and feet turned ice cold.

"this one?"

Shen Han remained calm and unhurried.

With that punch, he had already tested the strength of these two lackeys. Their cultivation level was far from reaching the first level, while he himself had already entered the Skin Refining Realm.

Therefore, Shen Han neither dodged nor avoided the menacing Ding San and Mao Si.

The next moment, he unleashed both fists simultaneously, striking each of the two men.

boom!

Despite being hit by four punches, Shen Han remained completely unmoved.

The cultivation level of the Skin Refining Realm is indeed extraordinary.

"puff……"

Ding San and Mao Si, however, were as if they had run into a mountain. They were both sent flying and crashed hard into the stone wall of the dead end, spitting blood and unable to move.

"Go to hell!"

Shen Han's eyes sharpened as he jumped in front of Ding San and grabbed the top of his head.

"No……"

Ding San wanted to beg for mercy, but it was too late.

Shen Han tightened his wrist.

click!

Ding San's neck was twisted and snapped, his body tilted to one side, and he stopped breathing.

After killing Ding San, Shen Han returned to Mao Si.

"Shen...you, you..."

Mao Si was already filled with fear, so frightened that he was incoherent.

He never expected that Shen Han, such a weak boy, would be so strong.

"Shen Han, as long as you let go..."

click!

Before Mao Si could finish speaking, Shen Han did the same thing and snapped his neck.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Sanmao died on the spot.

Yunyi couldn't believe it.

After a long pause, she finally mustered the courage to ask, "Xiao Shen...did you really kill Hu Jiao?"

Shen Han smiled and said, "Yes."

"So, the reason you reassured me that night was to kill him."

Yunyi's chest heaved.

Seeing her trembling, Shen Han gently comforted her, "Sister Yunyi, there's no need to pity these people. Think about it, if they don't die, we'll be the ones who suffer."

"Yes, I understand."

Yunyi is not a foolish woman.

She knew perfectly well that if Shen Han hadn't suddenly appeared, her fate would have been worse than death.

"Sister Yunyi, this matter is over. You should go home now. To avoid any further complications, I need to take care of the body."

"Xiao Shen, be careful in everything you do."

Once Yunyi had walked away, Shen Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can openly loot the corpse.

In the dim moonlight, he moved swiftly, groping around the corpses of Ding Sanmao and Si Er.

He received more than four taels of silver.

"Not bad. I'm almost out of money after killing Hu Jiao, and these two lackeys just happened to show up at my doorstep!"

Shen Han muttered to himself.

During this period, he spent a considerable amount of money, including 300 coins worth of Qi and Blood Soup ingredients and 100 coins worth of food every day, in order to ensure that his clone could cultivate at full capacity.

Four taels of silver can last for almost ten days.

After squeezing every last drop of value from the corpse, Shen Han went all the way and emptied the remaining rubble from the red sack, stuffed the corpse inside, and went through the streets and alleys to find a dry well, then threw it in.

After finishing all this, it was already midnight.

"The weather is dry, so be careful with fire."

Avoiding the county town's night watchmen, Shen Han quietly returned to the small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the room, the oil lamp in Yunyi's room next door went out.

Take a shower, change clothes, and lie down.

"Fortunately, I broke through to the Skin Refining Realm today..."

Shen Han, covered with a thin blanket, reviewed everything that had happened that day.

If I hadn't leveled up my cultivation in time that evening, dealing with those two lackeys would definitely not have been so easy.

On the other hand, if there were two more of them, I doubt I could handle it.

Power, power is the primary productive force.

Without sufficient power, there is no voice.

Next, I need to focus all my efforts on breaking through to the Body Refining Realm!

I remember Guard Zhan saying that there are four stages in martial arts: refining the skin, refining the flesh, refining the tendons, and refining the bones.

The so-called Flesh Refining Realm involves thoroughly opening the Ren and Du meridians on the basis of tempering blood and qi, allowing the true qi in the body to be abundant and solidified, thus achieving the effect of cleansing the marrow and collaterals.

Compared to the 500 jin of the Skin Refining Realm, the strength of a martial artist in the Flesh Refining Realm can reach over 1,000 jin, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Lifting a cauldron is not a problem for them.

However, achieving this is extremely difficult.

Even in major sects and powerful forces, it's rare for one out of five disciples at the Skin Refining Realm to reach the Flesh Refining Realm.

"Clone, it's up to you now!"

Shen Han glanced at the clone in the mirror.

The clone was meticulous and diligently practicing the breathing technique.

"Good brothers, for life!"

Don't worry, I'll make sure you have plenty of food and medicine!

Starting tomorrow, I'll buy you venison!

After making that boast, Shen Han placed the bronze mirror against his chest and fell into a deep sleep.
