All Heavens: Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts Starting from the Republic of China

When Gui Daozi saw Zhou Xie fall to the ground and die, he was first stunned, and then his whole body trembled.

His already pale and withered old face was now ashen white. His green eyes were filled with fear and confusion; where was the trace of his previous ruthlessness and viciousness?

"A grandmaster who had reached the pinnacle of internal energy cultivation... just like that, he died?"

Gui Daozi's voice trembled, as if someone was choking him.

He knew Zhou Xie's strength all too well.

His mastery of Baguazhang's neutralizing force was perfected, and his kung fu was unparalleled. Over the years, he had killed at least eighty to a hundred martial arts masters. The number of ordinary people he had casually killed was countless!

But now, he's actually been tricked and killed by a junior with hidden strength!

Gui Daozi felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head, and his spine felt completely cold.

"run!"

He could no longer care about anything else. He shook the bronze bell in his hand frantically, and the two white zombies that were attacking him immediately abandoned their opponents and stood on the left and right in front of him to protect their master.

At the same time, he pulled out a small black ceramic jar from his pocket and smashed it on the ground.

"Bang!

The moment the earthenware jar shattered, a large plume of black smoke burst forth, emitting a pungent stench of decay.

"Stop him!"

Li Junfeng was the fastest and had the best reaction time.

He roared and pounced like a tiger or leopard. But the white zombie's flesh was as hard as refined iron, blocking his path.

"Get out of here!"

Li Junfeng's blood and qi surged, and he directly used the most powerful form of the "Twelve Forms of Xingyi" - the "Bear Form" - and rammed into the zombie with the move "Old Bear Crashing into a Tree".

boom!

Humans and zombies collided violently.

This is almost unimaginable for ordinary people!

How can a human go head-to-head with a zombie?

But a master of internal energy transformation can do it!

The power of Li Junfeng's [Old Bear Crashes into a Tree] was so great that it was truly like a brown bear weighing several hundred pounds going mad and crashing into a tree.

Even a tree as thick as a person would creak and groan from the impact, sending wood chips flying. A trunk as thick as a thigh would snap in two!

So, the white zombie was knocked away.

Unfortunately……

Although the expert in the Transformation Realm was powerful, this [White Zombie] was the second level among zombies, possessing immense strength and a body as hard as refined iron. The enormous impact sent Li Junfeng flying backward as well.

In the end, they failed to catch that Ghost Dao Child!

At the same time, the old Taoist priest flicked his whisk, sending silver threads flying out to entwine with another white zombie. Yu Mingzi also conjured a yellow talisman to cast a spell…

But taking advantage of the moment when the stench of the dead and the black smoke of the corpses filled the air and the visibility was obstructed, Gui Daozi, whose already short body shrank, and like a frightened rat, instantly darted out of the dilapidated temple and disappeared into the vast rain.

Li Junfeng's move was the best and last chance to seize him.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

"Bang bang bang!"

The young gunman fired two shots in quick succession, blind firing, the bullets chasing the back of the Ghost Daozi and disappearing into the darkness outside the door.

However, because his vision was obstructed, he most likely missed.

The rainy night was deep, and Gui Daozi disappeared without a trace in the dark storm after a few leaps.

The two white zombies followed him, hopping and skipping away quickly, disappearing from sight in no time.

"Damn it, he got away!"

Li Junfeng slammed his fist into the pillar, sending wood chips flying.

The old Taoist priest sighed and brushed the black ash from his sleeve.

"Forget it. This person's corpse control skills are superb, and with the cover of the dark night and torrential rain, we can't catch him. There's no need to chase him."

Mr. Liao walked over slowly, saying these words.

Although his face was pale, his tone remained calm and composed.

"Zhou Xie is dead, and Gui Daozi can't hold up the ship alone. He won't dare to come again anytime soon. At least tonight, we can get a good night's sleep."

His gaze fell on Fu Ze and Yu Mingzi, and he bowed slightly.

"Thank you both for what happened earlier."

Fu Ze waved his hand.

"Sir, you're too kind. We were just trying to protect ourselves. I'd like to leave, but this fool won't let me."

He glanced sideways at Zhou Xie's corpse beside him.

Yu Mingzi then performed a kowtow.

"Amitabha! Subduing demons and eliminating evil is simply our duty."

Mr. Liao smiled but didn't say anything more.

Some words carry more weight when kept in your heart than when spoken aloud.

……

The campfire was relit, and everyone sat around it.

After the fierce battle just now, we've fought side by side, and our relationship has become much more harmonious.

Li Junfeng, who was sitting to the side, had a rather strange expression.

His gaze kept drifting towards Fu Ze, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a while, his face turned red from holding it in.

Finally, Li Junfeng coughed, stood up, and walked to Fu Ze.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight, and his chin slightly raised, trying his best to maintain the demeanor of a master of internal energy.

"Um, well..."

Li Junfeng spoke, his voice muffled, as if squeezed out from his throat.

"What happened before was reckless on my part."

"We shouldn't have kicked you out without even knowing what happened."

After he finished speaking, he turned his face slightly away and awkwardly touched his nose.

"Ahem... Anyway, thank you for your help. Otherwise, tonight would have been a huge problem. If Mr. Liao had been injured, I would have been willing to die for it."

After saying this, he solemnly bowed to Fu Ze and Yu Mingzi.

Fu Ze smiled.

"Brother Li, you flatter me. If I were in your shoes, I would also be more cautious, given the heavy responsibility I bear."

Li Junfeng let out a soft snort.

"It's good that you know."

But the next second, he pulled out a yellowed notebook from his pocket and shoved it into Fu Ze's hand.

"Take it."

Fu Ze was stunned.

"This is?"

It looks like a boxing manual or a diary or something similar.

Li Junfeng still had a blank expression, and his voice was muffled.

"It's nothing, just the boxing experience of three generations of my Li family, including the [Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound] of the Xingyi Quan Marrow Cleansing Method and some personal experiences at the level of Hua Jin and even higher."

"Your kung fu is good, but to advance from internal strength to external strength, you can't just practice blindly. With this, you can at least avoid taking several years of detours."

Although Fu Ze did not know Li Junfeng's specific background, judging from the conversation between Zhou Xie and him just now, he should be from a very famous and powerful martial arts family.

Boxing manuals are always more valuable when they are privately owned than when they are publicly available.

Because the publicly available boxing manuals are mostly generic and common.

The private boxing manuals and notes of martial arts masters contain genuine insights and many details of training, which are all secrets that are not to be passed on to outsiders.

In particular, the stuff from a martial arts family like Li Junfeng's—in ancient times, it would have been a peerless secret manual that everyone wanted!

Although it wasn't anything particularly remarkable to Fu Ze, it was still a good thing.

Fu Ze quickly declined.

"Brother Li, this is a secret recipe passed down in your family. It's too precious for me to accept."

Li Junfeng frowned, looking impatient.

"Just take it, why all the nonsense?"

"What I, Li Junfeng, give away, there's no reason to take back."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and sat down in the corner near Mr. Liao, his eyelids lowered, giving off an "take it or leave it" attitude.

Fu Ze looked at the note in his hand, then at Li Junfeng's feigned aloofness, shook his head and chuckled, thinking to himself.

"This guy is quite interesting. He's clearly incredibly grateful inside, but he insists on putting on airs like a grandmaster. He's really suffering for the sake of saving face."

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said loudly.

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Li."

Li Junfeng glanced at him but didn't say anything.

But the corners of his mouth subtly turned up.

……

Mr. Liao watched this scene with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He stood up and walked to the campfire, the firelight illuminating his face.

"Gentlemen, at this point, I will no longer conceal my true identity..."

He looked at Fu Ze and Yu Mingzi, his voice calm but carrying a heavy weight.
