Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Chapter 100: Easily crushed, obtaining the golden silk.

In the blink of an eye, the steel knife was about to strike Shen Han.

This was a strike delivered by Tu Sangui with all his might, and it was also his signature move, incredibly powerful and fierce.

"Ha, Ugly Face is doomed!"

Ah Da and Ah Er, who were standing nearby, were extremely excited.

However, facing this fierce slash, Shen Han did not dodge or evade at all.

He quickly switched the Longquan sword to his left hand.

At the same time, he swung his right arm in a circular motion, concentrating all of his peak-level strength of over 4,800 jin onto the Longquan Sword. The sword instantly erupted like flames, resembling a man-eating demon.

The next instant, Tu Sangui's steel blade arrived!

"hehe!"

Shen Han chuckled coldly, and with a sweeping motion of his Longquan sword, he met the thunderous blade head-on with lightning speed.

Earthly Sword Technique: Creation from Nothingness!

呲!

The ear-piercing sound echoed throughout the third-floor hall, and the entire Spirit Serpent Tower seemed to shake. All the doors and windows shattered, and the roof tiles fell off one after another.

Crack!

Unexpectedly, Tu Sangui's steel knife not only failed to harm Shen Han in the slightest, but was instead cleaved in two.

"What?"

Tu Sangui was greatly alarmed.

He was able to hold his own against me in the previous dozens of moves, so how come that ugly face suddenly became several times stronger?

Click!

It was the sound of bones cracking; the tendons and bones in Tu Sangui's arms and wrists were completely shattered.

"You did this on purpose?"

He endured the excruciating pain and retreated repeatedly.

"Otherwise what?" Shen Han laughed. "This is my first time using a sword, so I should at least show you all the sword moves, right?"

Yes, Shen Han had already confirmed Tu Sangui's strength with the first sword strike.

This Tu Sangui was at best comparable to Bai Wei.

He is no longer a match for Shen Han.

In other words, Shen Han could have killed Tu Sangui in one move, but in order to experience the practical effects of the Twenty-Seven Forms of Earthly Absolute Sword Technique, Shen Han deliberately held back and went through twenty-seven moves with Tu Sangui.

"You're already this strong on your first time using a sword?"

Knowing he was no match for the enemy, Tu Sangui retreated to the window, with only one thought in mind: to jump out and escape.

Unfortunately, Shen Han wouldn't let him succeed.

"Vice Master Tu, if you leave, I'll have nowhere to earn my money."

Having said that, he took a step using the Wind and Thunder Step and moved in front of Tu Sangui.

"No, don't kill me—"

Seeing that Shen Han's lightness skill was also so impressive, Tu Sangui had no courage left to fight and immediately begged for mercy.

laugh!

Without hesitation, Shen Han delivered a sword strike, ending Tu Sangui's life.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Ah Da and Ah Er, who were standing nearby, were dumbfounded. They thought that Tu, the deputy incense master, would win easily, but in the blink of an eye, he was killed without leaving a single piece of armor.

The three women on the ground were still in shock.

"It's your turn, you two."

Shen Han slowly walked towards Ah Da and Ah Er.

Ah Da and Ah Er didn't run away; they knew that there was no way they could escape.

thump!

The two knelt down on the ground.

"Ugly-Faced Hero, we—"

"Alright, I'll allow you to finish your last words, even though they're not really that significant."

Shen Han said leisurely.

Ah Er hurriedly said, "No—Ugly-faced Hero, please don't kill us—"

"Oh, you two deserve to live?"

"Ugly-faced Hero, please be wise! All these evil deeds were forced upon us by Tu Sangui—"

"Give me your money."

"Right away, right away—"

Ah Da and Ah Er dared not utter a single word and quickly took out all their money, including the money on Tu Sangui's person.

Shen Han glanced at it; it was about twenty taels.

"That's all?"

"I have learned from the Ugly-Faced Hero that the vast majority of his silver was handed over to the temple master in the county town by Tu Sangui this morning."

"Who is the owner of the incense?"

"We don't know anything about it, and we've never seen it before. The leader of the incense shop only communicated with Tu Sangui—"

This explanation is the same as that of Qingfeng, Sanmiao's disciple—Shen Han secretly analyzed in his heart.

Ah Er continued to kowtow heavily: "Ugly-faced hero, from now on we withdraw from the Moon Worship Cult, repent and reform, please have mercy and give us a chance—"

"Fine."

Shen Han weighed the money in his hand. "But a mere twenty-odd taels of silver isn't even enough to pay for drawing my Longquan sword."

"Forehead----"

Ah Da was speechless.

They really didn't have any more money.

Suddenly, Ah Er had a flash of inspiration: "That's right, Ugly-Faced Hero, I remember now, after Tu Sangui destroyed the Stone Serpent Merchant Guild, he intercepted a treasure that can be used as collateral."

"What treasure is it?"

Shen Han said it casually, highlighting his nonchalance.

Ah Er hurriedly said, "It's a box of gold thread. That gold thread is lightweight, strong, and impervious to swords and spears. I heard from Vice President Zhao Yu that the Stone Serpent Chamber of Commerce only recently acquired it."

As he spoke, Ah Da brought over a sandalwood box.

Inside was indeed a whole box of glittering gold threads.

Shen Han tried it, and just as Ah Er had said, it was as light as a feather but extremely hard.

Ah Da knelt down again and said, "Ugly-faced Hero, this golden thread can be made into close-fitting armor, which is quite valuable. It should be enough to save our lives, right?"

"Can.

Shen Han closed the sandalwood box.

Magistrate He gave him the scroll blueprints for the armor, saying that the better the materials, the better the armor would be. It was like his wish had come true; wasn't this gold thread the most suitable material?

"Thank you, Ugly-Faced Hero!"

Ah Da and Ah Er kowtowed several more times, then helped each other out of the Spirit Serpent Tower.

Soon, the two of them fled into the streets and alleys.

Clenching his teeth, he used all his strength and ran frantically into the distance.

After running for more than forty zhang (approximately 33 meters),

"Big brother, he shouldn't have caught up, right?"

"Not at the moment."

"We can't stop, we're not safe yet!"

call out!

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint whooshing sound rang out, and a hard iron arrow, accompanied by a whooshing sound, rushed straight from the direction of the Spirit Serpent Tower.

Chi Chi!

The next moment, the arrows pierced the hearts of both Ah Da and Ah Er without missing a beat.

"for----"

The two men fell one after the other, dying with their eyes wide open.

The one who fired the arrow was, of course, Shen Han.

Now that he was already here, how could he possibly let those two lackeys go? He had deliberately let Ah Da and Ah Er leave just now, simply to test the power of the Deceptive Archery Technique.

"Hmm, to shoot down two eagles with one arrow at a distance of over forty zhang, that's impressive!"

After carefully putting away the heavy steel bow, he walked up to the three women and untied the ropes binding them.

"Ugly—thank you, thank you—"

The women were rambling incoherently. They had barely uttered the word "ugly" when they stopped, fearing Shen Han's anger.

"Master Tu, your meal is here."

As they were talking, the honest and unassuming restaurant owner came upstairs with food, looking rather apprehensive.

Whoosh!

Upon seeing Tu Sangui's corpse, the restaurant owner was so frightened that he dropped his dishes.

"Don't be afraid, Tu Sangui is already dead."

Shen Han stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder.

"oh----"

The restaurant owner was speechless.

Shen Han said calmly, "Go and tell the whole town that Tu Sangui is dead, and that they will no longer prey on everyone!"

"Okay, okay————"

The group nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Shen Han added, "Also, find someone to dispose of the bodies of the chamber of commerce members."

After saying this, he cut off Tu Sangui's head, wrapped it in cloth, and leaped out of the wooden window.

They vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Great! The savior has arrived! The Bodhisattva I prayed to last night has answered my prayers!"

The restaurant owner knelt down facing the wooden window, tears streaming down his face.
