Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Chapter 125 What a fine hammer of conscience!

The word "Li" (礼) is associated with seventeen workshops.

Xu Zhao's original secluded courtyard.

"Senior brother, do you think Master will succeed on this trip?"

'

You Fuxing and Jiao Huanglian kept watch all night, and only after Xu Zhao left did the two of them begin to rest.

But neither of them could sleep.

Hearing You Fuxing's words, the sallow-faced man arrogantly said, "Nonsense! With Master's strength, plus a divine weapon like the Heart-Questioning Hammer, who could possibly—"

.

"Bang!"

'

Before he could finish speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Zhao stumbled in and fell to the ground.

The sallow-faced man's mouth was half-open, the second half of his sentence, "can block it," stuck in his throat.

"Damn it, what are you standing there for? Get the pills!"

Xu Zhao clenched his teeth and forced out a sentence.

As soon as he finished speaking, his chest heaved, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

A flash of purple light appeared on his right hand, and the Heart-Questioning Hammer materialized from the void. It fell to the ground with a "thud," creating a deep crater.

The injury was so severe that even this divine weapon of the Earthly Fiends could not be contained within his body!

The two then came to their senses.

With his sallow face, he quickly got up and went to the cabinet to search.

You Fuxing immediately helped Xu Zhao up and moved him toward the bed.

Before long, the sallow-faced man rushed to the bedside with a handful of pills, looking very nervous, and respectfully handed them to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao didn't even look at it, swallowed it whole, and then sat down to regulate his breathing.

"Protect me!"

"yes!

'

The two responded, and You Fuxing stood warily in front of the bed.

The sallow-faced man moved toward the door, looking back every few steps.

It took me ages to finally reach the door.

Before the door could be closed, Xu Zhao on the bed screamed "Ah!" and then started gushing blood as if it were free.

The bed, the ground, and You Fuxing's body were instantly covered in a layer of blood.

He collapsed with a "thud," pointing tremblingly at his sallow face, but ultimately couldn't utter a single word before closing his eyes forever.

You Fuxing stared blankly at Xu Zhao, then at Jiang's sallow face, and shouted, "Senior brother, how dare you! You actually poisoned Master!"

The sallow-faced man sneered, saying disdainfully, "What are you pretending to be loyal for? Aren't you more skilled than me at killing your master?"

You Fuxing said with a grim face, "I—I had no choice. That old bastard Dong Cheng is going too far!"

'

With an impatient sallow face, he pointed at the Heart-Questioning Hammer on the ground and laughed greedily, "Alright, why waste so much breath? He has clearly lost. I estimate that the Dongyang Sect will catch up soon. Such a divine weapon should be wielded by my brother and me."

"Quick, grab the Heart-Slaying Hammer and give him another whack so we can get out of here quickly."

You Fuxing looked at Xu Zhao, who remained motionless, and shook his head.

This is a Qi Refining Realm martial artist, while he is only at the Qi Refining Realm. If Xu Zhao launches a counterattack while on the verge of death, he won't be able to defend against it.

"Useless!" the sallow-faced man cursed upon seeing this, and had no choice but to do it himself.

He took two steps, bent down and grasped the Heart-Questioning Hammer, but when he lifted it, the hammer did not budge.

Surprised, the sallow-faced man tried his best, but could only barely lift the hammer tail. The huge hammer head remained embedded in the pit, not moving an inch.

"I'll do it."

""

A deep voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Before the sallow-faced man could react, a hand reached out from his side and firmly grasped the hammer handle.

The sallow-faced man felt a sudden lightness in his hand, which was then lifted up along with the Heart-Questioning Hammer.

Then, an irresistible force pulled the hammer handle from his hand.

"Great hammer! This is perfect for me!"

'

Looking at the Heart-Questioning Hammer in his hand, Lu Cheng sincerely praised it.

The sallow-faced man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated.

But Lu Cheng's Heart-Questioning Hammer was even faster.

With a "whoosh," it struck the man's chest with a whooshing sound.

The Heart-Asking Hammer was already incredibly heavy, and with Lu Cheng's added force, the man's chest exploded like a rotten watermelon in a single blow.

Blood and flesh splattered, mixing with what Xu Zhao had just vomited.

Senior, this is the most treasured item of the Dongyang Sect. Please put it down.

Although You Fuxing's cultivation level was not high, his temperament was much better than that of the sallow-faced man.

Despite facing such a scene, he was still able to suppress his fear and even thought of using the Dongyang Sect to intimidate people.

Lu Cheng nodded: "Of course I know this belongs to the Dongyang Sect, but it's mine now."

,

You Fuxing paused for a moment, looked at the scorched, half-corpse, and said, "Senior is right. Divine weapons belong to the capable. Please rest assured, Senior, I did not hear a thing today."

I did not see it.

Lu Cheng shook his head: "Not enough."

Yu Fuxing gritted his teeth, drew his long sword from his waist, and slashed at Xu Zhao, who was already lifeless on the ground.

The long sword fell with a muffled "thud".

Xu Zhao is a Qi Refining Realm martial artist. Even though his blood and qi have stopped circulating, the toughness of his skin and flesh is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Yu Fuxing's slash barely grazed the skin, penetrating no more than half an inch into the flesh.

But You Fuxing kept swinging his knife, grinding Xu Zhao's head off.

Then, with his face covered in blood, he looked up at Lu Cheng and asked, "Senior, is this enough?"

""

Looking at You Fuxing, Lu Cheng seemed to see the ruthless bully on the banks of the Longxu River again.

He took a breath, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a black iron piece in You Fuxing's shocked gaze: "You recognize this thing, right? Tell me everything you know."

""

"Lu Cheng!" You Fu's pupils suddenly contracted. "It's you."

Lu Cheng stretched out his foot to hook a stool over and sat down, slamming the Heart-Asking Hammer in his hand onto the ground with a "thud".

Under Lu Cheng's control, a crack quickly extended to You Fuxing's feet.

Yu Fuxing stared at the crack, his throat tightening: "I—I'll tell you everything I know, can—can you let me go?"

'

Lu Cheng said, "I don't want to lie to you, I can only guarantee you a quick death."

You Fuxing's face turned ashen. He looked at Xu Zhao's headless corpse on the ground and smiled bitterly: "When I was twelve years old, Dong Cheng, who was passing by, took me into the Dongyang Sect and accepted me as a disciple."

,

"I originally thought that Dong Cheng valued my martial arts talent, so after joining the sect I practiced diligently day and night, but I never expected—"

At this point, a deep resentment appeared in You Fuxing's eyes: "But I never expected that old bastard would have such a peculiar fetish! Not long after I joined the sect, he... and for nearly ten years after that, I was constantly humiliated by him."

Hearing this, Lu Cheng felt sorry for You Fuxing, but he didn't want to hear about these sordid things. He sympathized with You Fuxing and said, "This is a very painful thing for a young man. Dong Cheng died at your hands, so he deserved it."

Upon hearing this, You Fuxing revealed a smug smile: "Hmph, he got off easy, but I also learned a secret from him."

""

"In Wenxin Peak, there was once a martial artist who attempted to steal the 'Minor Longevity Manual.' During his imprisonment, Dong Cheng accidentally discovered the key he had hidden."

"A key?" Lu Cheng examined the black metal piece from all angles, but he still couldn't figure out how it could be the "key" You Fuxing was talking about.

0

You Fuxing nodded: "It's not the key to open the door, but the key to guide the way."

"This black iron plate originally consisted of five pieces, which, when pieced together, formed a disc, on which a map was engraved."

Upon hearing You Fuxing's words, Lu Cheng understood: "Then where are the remaining four pieces?"

You Fuxing shook his head: "The person who was imprisoned on Wenxin Peak only had this one piece. Later, Dong Cheng searched for a long time but couldn't find a second piece."

"The world is so vast, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Actually, I didn't take it too seriously. The reason I left it with my uncle was because I was in a rather awkward position at Wenxin Peak after Dong Cheng's death. If I had it, someone else might take it."

Lu Cheng didn't quite believe this explanation, but he didn't want to investigate the truth of it. He just wanted to ask about the follow-up before the Dongyang Sect people searched the city: "Since it's a map, what exactly is hidden in this place?"

'

You Fuxing shook his head: "Dong Cheng didn't say the specifics of the invitation, but it seems to be related to the Refining of Evil."

"Refining the Fiend—" Lu Cheng murmured. Combining the information he learned from Shen Yi and Tu Yuan, it seemed that the Martial Grandmaster of the Fiend Refining Realm was the strongest martial artist.

Thinking of the fight between Xu Zhao and He Yunlingzi just now, and looking at the Heart-Questioning Hammer in his hand, saying that it could overturn rivers and seas would be an exaggeration, but if he really didn't hold back and smashed it down one hammer after another, it would not be difficult to destroy mountains and break peaks.

"Is that all?"

You Fuxing was stunned, then pointed at Xu Zhao's corpse and pleaded, "No—no more, Uncle Lu, I have no deep-seated grudge against you. This is my pledge of loyalty. Please let me go, okay?"

Lu Cheng hummed in agreement, and then, to You Fuxing's delighted surprise, he struck out with the Heart-Questioning Hammer.

"Bang!"

"Now we have it."

Since the Heart-Questioning Hammer had not yet been refined, Lu Cheng had no choice but to hold it in his hand.

Lu Cheng tore a piece of cloth from the bed to wrap the hammer, and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he turned back.

After searching the room, they actually found some pills.

One of the pills, about the size of a grape and with a bluish-red hue, caught Lu Cheng's attention.

"This is... a Qi Condensation Pill?"
