Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

"Mr. Ugly Face, how many servings do you want this time?"

The next day, there were no villages or temples outside Shiyang Town.

Abbot Qingyunzi personally received Shen Han, but Qingyunzi was very puzzled.

This ugly-faced gentleman is quite skilled in cultivation. One can imagine that he must be a pillar of some sect. If so, why would he come to buy medicinal food himself? Wouldn't the sect disciples do it for him?

Little did Qingyunzi know that the ugly-faced Shen Han in front of him not only did not belong to any faction, but was also just a doctor at the Xuanhu Medical Clinic.

"Twenty-five portions."

Shen Han paid 250 taels of silver.

"Hold on."

After accepting the silver, Qingyunzi didn't hesitate and immediately instructed the boy to prepare.

Before long, the medicinal herbs were wrapped up.

"Thank you, Abbot. Farewell."

Shen Han packed his belongings and stepped out of Wuzhuang Temple.

Thankfully, I had a very fruitful haul at the Pine Forest Ghost Market last night; otherwise, my clone's marrow cleansing and tendon-strengthening water would have been cut off.

He didn't spend all his money; he still had fifty taels of silver left. After all, the food expenses for his clone were a huge expense. He needed to eat venison and beef every day, and occasionally tiger meat. If he didn't leave enough silver to buy food, his clone wouldn't be able to cultivate day and night.

"Ugly-faced Boss!"

He hadn't gone far when a woman called out to him from behind.

Shen Han turned around.

She is Li Xiaohuan, Xuan Yangzi's younger sister.

Li Xiaohuan's expression brightened considerably, and she became much more lively.

"So it's Miss Li."

"Brother Ugly Face, I'm so glad to see you again! Why not come to my house for a simple meal today?"

Seeing her benefactor who had cured her right in front of her, Li Xiaohuan was overjoyed.

Shen Han declined: "Maybe next time, I have something to do."

Li Xiaohuan was not discouraged and obediently said, "Well, Brother Ugly Face, you go ahead with your important matters. I'll treat you another time when I have the chance. Here, these are some flatbreads I made. If you don't mind, Brother Ugly Face, you can take them to eat on the way."

After handing the pancake to Shen Han, she skipped away.

The lives of people at the bottom of society are so simple... A warm feeling rose in Shen Han's heart.

Suddenly, he remembered Lu Yunyi.

I wonder how Sister Yunyi is doing in Yunzhou City? I hope to visit Yunzhou City someday.

"Let's take a look at the panel..."

On the way back to Sanhe County, Shen Han summoned the control panel.

Mirror owner: Shen Han

Cultivation level: Tendon Refining

Kung Fu Technique: Sunflower Divine Skill (Mastery)

Martial Arts: Raging Dragon Fist (Perfected), Sky-Splitting Blade Technique (Perfected), Wind and Thunder Step (Mastered)

Skill: Medical Skills (Perfect)

After a full day, his physical strength increased by another fifty jin naturally. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of his lightness skill, the Wind and Thunder Step, his speed and agility also increased remarkably. Now, with a single leap, he can cover a distance of six zhang (approximately 33 meters), a feat that is absolutely unimaginable and unattainable for ordinary people.

"I wonder who would win if I faced off against that Bai Wei head-on..." Shen Han pondered to himself.

But he understands very well that the most important thing for him now is to develop in a low-key manner.

The four stages of martial arts are skin, flesh, tendons, and bones; I am currently at the Tendon Refining stage.

Not enough, far from enough. Only by breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm can one have absolute say in Sanhe County.

"What lies beyond the Bone Refining Realm?"

Shen Han murmured.

The scene of Ning Xinxi's maid Yang Liu instantly defeating Kong Xuan flashed through his mind.

Those master and servant pair must have already left Sanhe County, right?

Although Ning Xinxi did not make a move, it is clear that her cultivation level is much higher than Yang Liu's! Also, with such a high level of cultivation, why would she borrow the "Ancient Yang Skill" manual?

Perhaps the truth will only be revealed when I meet Ning Xinxi again.

Shen Han snapped out of his thoughts, casually sat down under a huge banyan tree, took out a pancake, and while admiring the clone in the bronze mirror practicing the Sunflower Divine Skill, he ate the pancake with gusto.

Clang!

Just then, the sound of weapons clashing came from the dense forest in the distance.

It seemed like someone was being attacked... Shen Han sensed something was amiss.

Moreover, the sound was gradually approaching him.

Without hesitation, Shen Han leaped up and climbed directly onto the banyan tree, barely managing to hide among the leaves.

The world is in chaos, and fighting is happening everywhere.

He had already planned ahead: as long as the struggle did not endanger himself or harm the innocent, there was no need to get involved.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them had reached the foot of the tree.

Just as Shen Han had guessed, one of them was being chased by the other three.

"Heh heh, trying to run away?"

The three pursuers, dressed in white, black, and red respectively, each wielding a sword, charged one after another at the bearded giant in front.

The bearded man was covered in wounds.

Surrounded by three attackers, he was already exhausted and could only parry without being able to retaliate.

"Why...are you pressing me so relentlessly?"

The burly man with the beard coughed up blood.

"What a joke! You really think we'd let you just walk away so easily?"

"Jiusimiao promised to let me go..."

"Haha, you believed that?"

After saying this, the three men simultaneously attacked the bearded man with their swords.

laugh!

The bearded man couldn't dodge in time, and a deep, bloody gash was slashed across his arm.

He gritted his teeth and leaped backward to escape.

"Heh heh, you've come this far, still struggling?"

The three men gave chase relentlessly.

The bearded man trembled violently as he clutched his wounds and fled for his life, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.

boom!

The man in white quickly caught up and kicked him to the ground.

"Aww..."

The burly, bearded man was in agony. "You three swift swordsmen are nothing but dogs kept by Jiu Simiao!"

"Heh, better than you, you dead dog!"

The man in black laughed wildly.

"Vice Cave Master Wen, three years ago, you punished me for a trivial matter. Now I will make you wish you were dead!"

In the blink of an eye, the man in red showed no mercy, grabbing the bearded man from the ground and throwing a punch at him.

Boom!

The burly, bearded man was powerless to resist; a punch to the abdomen sent him flying several meters. In an instant, the back of his head struck a bare boulder, and he lost consciousness.

"Second brother, third brother, go, cut off his arm first, then tie him up and go back to report to Master Jiu."

Seeing this, the man in white sheathed his sword and instructed the men in black and red, "We three swordsmen have successfully completed our mission. Lord Jiu will surely reward us three brothers handsomely."

"Yes, brother!"

The two rushed toward the unconscious bearded man, and the man in black even raised his sword to strike him down.

clang!

At the critical moment, a loud bang was heard.

The sword was cleaved in two by a flash of light.

"what!"

The next moment, the man in black's right arm suddenly broke off, rolled to the side, and blood gushed out.

"Second Brother!"

The man in red was horrified. He hadn't even seen what happened when the man in black lost an arm.

At the same time, an ugly man stood in front of them.

"Who... are you?"

The man in red attacked the ugly man with his sword.

"The one who will kill you!"

The ugly man wielded a huge, dark-colored curved blade, clashing head-on with the red-clad man's sword.

呲!

Like the man in black, the man in red's sword was broken.

Then, his right arm was also severed by the terrifying curved blade, falling beside the man in black, the gushing blood staining the surroundings red.
