My cells devour all worlds.

"Hey, what are you doing—"

The rooster crows at dawn.

As usual, the soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate, and a disheveled figure hanging upside down at the city gate immediately came into view.

The figure was shirtless, wearing only a pair of pants.

His head and face were bruised and swollen, making him unrecognizable.

His hands and feet were tightly bound, and his mouth was also tied with strips of cloth, which were stuffed with something, making it bulge.

All it could utter were sobs.

The leading soldier was taken aback. Just as he was wondering who was so bold as to challenge the authority of the government, he suddenly noticed that the figure was wearing only one shoe.

His pupils suddenly contracted, "The Jing'an Division..."

Looking at the figure's shape and general appearance, the soldiers instantly made a guess.

"Quickly, someone put him down for me."

The leading soldier immediately dispatched men to take action.

Before long, several soldiers hurriedly lowered Yue Shan down from mid-air.

The leading soldier quickly stepped forward to untie Yue Shan's ropes and tore off the strip of cloth binding his mouth.

"Pooh--"

A shoe came out of Yue Shan's mouth.

The leading soldier looked at Yue Shan's disheveled appearance with a puzzled expression. "Lord Yue, you..."

Before he could voice his doubts, Yue Shan's glare made him swallow them back.

Yue Shan spoke in a deep, muffled voice, "You haven't seen me today, understand? Also, go get me some clothes."

A few words aggravated the injury on Yue Shan's face, causing him to grimace.

Damn, this kid went way too far.

Unexpectedly, Wanfa Xiuluo's external martial arts skills were even better than his. He had just finished saying he wouldn't give it to him when the other party punched him in the mouth.

Before he could even back out, he was pinned down and beaten for a long time without being able to utter a single word.

If you're so amazing, why the hell didn't you say so earlier?

If you had just told me earlier, I would have given it to you directly. You had to beat me up for so long and then ask me if I submitted...

Don't hit me in the mouth!

Feeling frustrated, Yue Shan also had some doubts.

Who exactly is Wanfa Shura?

Practicing martial arts is not something that can be accomplished in a day, especially since his opponent was able to beat him so badly that he was completely powerless to fight back.

Such strength was something I had never heard of in the martial arts world before.

This is really unusual.

Forget it, let's go back and let others think about it.

As he pondered, Yue Shan's ears twitched, and he suddenly heard a series of chaotic footsteps, accompanied by a noisy commotion.

They are approaching the city gate from afar.

"Where, where can I find an egg collar?"

"At the city gate ahead, I heard it's a burly, shirtless man who's getting haircuts..."

"I see him! He's there!"

"Don't push me, I was here first, I'll go first..."

Seeing the surging crowd, Yue Shan's eyes widened slowly. He didn't even have time to grab his clothes before he dashed towards the city gate.

All-powerful Asura, I'll fuck your mother...

-

"Bang bang bang..."

The door creaked.

Shen Qingshu's voice rang out from outside the door, "Brother Sheng, aren't you up yet?"

Lu Sheng opened the door, yawning, "Why did you wake me up so early?"

morning?

Shen Qingshu looked up at the sun, which was almost directly overhead, with a strange expression.

It's almost noon already.

Lu Sheng glanced at the undisguised joy on Shen Qingshu's face and asked, "What's making you so happy?"

Shen Qingshu chuckled and lowered his voice, saying, "I visited the Su family today and learned that Miss Su is preparing to return to Qingzhou to visit her relatives, and Uncle Su has already entrusted our escort agency with her shipment."

His eyes darted around slightly. "I'm going to ask my father to let me join the escort team. How about you come with me, Sheng-ge? You've been here for so long, but you've never seen what escorting is like."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say."

Lu Sheng instantly saw through Shen Qingshu's little scheme, but he did not refuse.

Shen Qingshu is the target of his mission, and nothing can go wrong.

Going out for a walk is also an option, as Lu Sheng happens to be quite interested in martial arts from other states.

Previously, worried that something might happen to Shen Qingshu, he would always go out at night, relying entirely on his own two legs to run back and forth throughout Jiangzhou.

He had collected almost all the top-tier martial arts techniques in Jiangzhou, and hoped that Qingzhou could give him more surprises.

After saying that, Lu Sheng yawned and closed the door. "If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep. Call me if you need anything."

Looking at the closed door, Shen Qingshu felt quite helpless.

Brother Sheng is really... He doesn't even know how to describe him.

Shen Qingshu didn't think much about it; his mind was now filled with thoughts of the days he would be spending with Su Wanqing.

Especially when he thought of certain plots from the storybooks, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

No, he needs to go and talk to his father right away.

The reason, of course, is that Brother Sheng wanted to try his hand at escorting goods...

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Lu Sheng collapsed onto the bed.

He was genuinely a bit sleepy; that guy was surprisingly tough last night.

Anyone else who uses their full strength will immediately back down and obediently hand over their martial arts techniques.

But that guy named Yue Shan yesterday, he didn't utter a sound even after being beaten for a long time. No wonder he's a practitioner of tough kung fu.

It's hard.

Once he obtained the Iron Wall Skill, Lu Sheng was captivated by its contents and studied it until dawn.

Instead of cultivating internal strength through breathing exercises, they use external training methods to temper the body, along with stance training to stimulate the body's Qi and blood.

Then, the body is cleansed with qi and blood to achieve the purpose of internal cultivation.

It's similar to training the skin, flesh, bones, and genitals... that kind of training.

According to Yue Shan, the Iron Wall Skill, when mastered to a high level, is comparable to that of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

However, physical training is extremely difficult, and it becomes increasingly difficult to improve as one progresses.

Moreover, external martial arts are not as gentle as internal martial arts, and most of their training methods are harmful to the body, so it is difficult for ordinary people to reach a high level.

Halfway through training, they are plagued by injuries for various reasons. Not to mention continuing, some people even have difficulty surviving.

Yue Shan has only just entered the training stage, possessing a body of copper and iron, immense strength, and fearlessness of swords and blades.

Even ordinary first-rate martial artists would find it difficult to leave a mark on him.

Unfortunately, he encountered the unreasonable Lu Sheng.

After a few punches, his internal organs felt like they were about to come out.

Thanks to his robust physique, Lu Sheng only tried the Iron Wall Stance stance training last night and felt the abundant Qi and blood within his body.

In just half a day, he has already reached the threshold of muscle building, which is quite fast.

Even without conscious effort, Lu Sheng's skin is now as tough as leather, making him difficult to injure with ordinary swords and knives.

With the addition of internal energy, even a second-rate martial artist wouldn't be able to harm him.

The problem is that he has consumed a lot of qi and blood, and even with Lu Sheng's current physique, he is finding it difficult to hold on.

Fortunately, he stopped in time and recovered after eating a few more medicinal herbs.

I'm still a bit mentally tired and need to rest.

As he pondered, Lu Sheng's breathing gradually became steady.

Time quickly came to the day when the Su family set off to visit relatives.

The group met at the escort agency, and after verifying that the items were correct, the group of dozens of people drove out of the city gate in carriages and horses, onto the official road, and headed towards Qingzhou.

Su Wanqing's mother passed away early, and her father, Su Wenyuan, was unable to accompany her due to his busy official duties.

So, apart from Su Wanqing, the Su family only brought one maid, Xiao Huan, one maidservant to take care of daily life, and two guards.
