In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 72 is simply a case of dimensional reduction attack.

Not to mention the bandits below, even the people on the city wall were horrified.

This is the dirty work period!

He is only one stage away from the legendary Innate Realm, and is qualified to serve as the city lord of a city during the Dirty Refining Stage!

They died just as easily!

Moreover, this is a new method that has never been shown before.

The way everyone looked at Shen Xing had changed repeatedly.

I feel a growing sense of awe.

They understood perfectly well that this young master, though seemingly young, was shrewd and cunning, possessing none of the naivety of an ordinary young man.

If someone can instantly kill someone who has practiced filth, what about someone with innate talent?

Who knows what else he's hiding?

Based on the methods they've already demonstrated, there's no need for any guards. The Zhang family, the He family, and the Blood Beast Gang were simply throwing eggs against rocks. They were already in an invincible position from the start!

"Second brother!"

A hysterical roar, filled with boundless rage, came from below.

His son made a mistake, which led to his brothers being expelled from the family as well, so he already felt guilty.

But he never expected that his second brother, who had accompanied him on his wanderings for more than ten years, would die so tragically before his eyes.

"Second brother! I will definitely avenge you!"

Pang Yue roared, hoisted a wild boar with equally thick skin onto his back as a shield, and charged into the forest without looking back.

This scene even stunned many bandits who were prepared to fight to the death.

But Pang Yue wasn't stupid either.

He saw it clearly just now. His second brother was blown up without any resistance. He couldn't even see where the attack came from. Moreover, the terrifying power was such that even a Xiantian cultivator might not be able to withstand it more than a few times!

Moreover, who knows if the other party can do it again, or if they have any other hidden tricks up their sleeve?

Staying here is tantamount to waiting to die!

The others might be able to escape, but he's doomed.

escape!escape!escape!

Pang Yue's eyes were bloodshot as he brought the martial arts essence he inherited from his family to its extreme. His figure was like a ghost, leaving behind several afterimages. Even with a huge wild boar on his back, he was not slow at all.

However, Shen Xing simply looked down at his back with indifferent eyes, as well as at the bandits who were fleeing in all directions.

"never mind."

Finally, he said directly, "Leave a few valuable survivors, and kill the rest."

The moment the words left his mouth, POD unleashed its full firepower in stealth mode, unleashing a barrage of powerful plasma energy blasts that precisely struck each fleeing bandit. The intense heat was enough to burn large holes in these unprotected individuals, and even monsters could not withstand it.

Within a very short time, all that could be seen were flashes of light, and all the monsters and bandits fell down with cries of agony.

It all happened in just a few seconds!

This terrifying attack once again opened the eyes of everyone on the city wall.

They've even started to feel numb.

The so-called masters they knew were nothing but weeds in front of the young master.

Even if a powerful expert were to rush out at this moment and be easily killed by the young master, it wouldn't seem like anything surprising.

However, Shen Xing suddenly noticed that the tiger and bear that he had been specifically watching but had not managed to kill were also starting to turn and flee.

Moreover, in the direction they fled, there was a seemingly unremarkable bandit in the Marrow Refining stage.

It might seem like just a coincidence, but POD's intelligent program, following his focus, has already provided analysis results.

[The tiger and bear are providing cover for the target's escape.]

"Gotcha." Shen Xing's lips curled into a smile.

Why didn't he just kill all the bandits cleanly and decisively?

That's exactly what they wanted to know—how these people controlled the demonic beasts!

According to current information, the Pang brothers have never demonstrated their ability to control demonic beasts before.

Either they've acquired some new secret technique, or someone else has joined them.

The answer is now obvious.

Both the tiger and the bear are powerful demonic beasts whose cultivation levels are comparable to those of the Refining Stage. In a one-on-one fight, an ordinary Refining Stage cultivator would almost certainly lose without divine weapons or a strong martial arts intent.

Such a monster would not cover someone's retreat for no reason.

This unassuming Marrow Refining Realm cultivator is most likely a Beast Tamer!

"Use tranquilizer darts," Shen Xing decisively instructed.

Not only this person, but Pang Yue also planned to keep one alive for the time being. People from big cities and big families must have a lot of information that is difficult to investigate in Qingshui City.

This is enough to give him a more detailed understanding of a larger area.

Intelligence is still quite important to him!

Once the command was issued, POD quickly performed ballistic calculations, including the target's strength, speed, and defensive measures.

Ultimately, the tracking tranquilizer dart was chosen.

This is a special warhead equipped with a miniature launcher, capable of changing course in a certain arc. The accompanying anesthetic is not injectable but contact-based, radiating anesthetic mist upon impact and taking effect within seconds of skin contact, making it extremely efficient.

However, dealing with the suspected beast tamer in the marrow refining stage was quite simple; after just one shot, the man fell down, and even a bear and a tiger couldn't withstand the concentrated fire.

However, Pang Yue encountered a small problem.

The movement-based martial arts technique he was currently using created five afterimages, making his movements unpredictable. In addition, carrying the wild boar as protection and moving close to the ground added a little difficulty to the trajectory calculation.

However, this is really only a tiny bit, not a hundred million.

With the reconnaissance equipment of military-grade POD and high-performance computing, it only took three shots to seal off all possibilities, bringing the hit rate to 100%, with one shot hitting Pang Yue squarely in the neck.

Even though he had mustered all his muscles and was strong-willed, he still collapsed instantly under the powerful anesthetic mist.

Using this weapon against these alien natives who don't even have full-coverage defenses is like a dimensional reduction attack.

Thus, this massive siege ended in an extremely simple way.

"Go clean up the battlefield." Shen Xing left these words indifferently and walked directly down the city wall.

Wherever he went, everyone bowed their heads respectfully, their eyes filled with awe.

With immense strength and powerful methods, even those in the Refining Stage, and even nearly a thousand demonic beasts, could be dealt with as easily as autumn leaves swept away by the wind. They could even kill or capture at will.

This level of performance is completely beyond their capabilities.

No one dared to object anymore.

Even ordinary people on the street bowed their heads in reverence, and many even prostrated themselves on the ground to welcome the new ruler!

At this point, the entire Qingshui City was truly under Shen Xing's control.

"Young Master, the Zhang family has been cleaned up. Would you like to move there?" Pang Zhan rushed over, his head almost touching the ground, his tone so respectful that even he himself found it hard to believe.

"Go later." Shen Xing did not refuse. The Zhang family mansion was indeed more luxurious. He then instructed, "You and the Gong family should take stock of all the pills, divine will inheritances, and other treasures from the three families and the Red Tiger Gang outside, and send them to the Zhang family mansion. Don't forget anything."

"Yes!" Pang Zhan replied quickly.

The battle is over; now it's time to tally up the spoils.

Shen Xing did not bask in the overwhelming victory. He first returned to the training room of the Hungry Wolf Gang and directed some people to bring the equipment that was difficult to take back to the Human Federation to the Zhang family. They moved it directly into the former city lord's training room. After resting for a while with his eyes closed, the previous battle kept echoing in his mind, and he swung his long sword again.

He needs to solidify his mastery of the Flash Blade technique.

Weapons are certainly powerful, but one's own cultivation must never be neglected on the path of martial arts.

After immersing himself in spiritual practice, everything happening outside seemed irrelevant to him.

It wasn't until evening that Qingshui City, which had been bustling all day, finally calmed down.

Everyone in the city knows what happened.

This city has changed.

That mysterious young master has become the person with the highest strength, power, and status in the city! He is even far superior to the previous city lord.

The manager of Dan Pavilion wrote more than a dozen urgent letters, writing down what he had seen and heard in a hurried tone, hoping that the main building of Dan Pavilion would take this powerful and mysterious scion of a large family seriously and send more and better pills to build a closer relationship.

Meanwhile, people from other cities within Qingshui City were all trying to contact their respective factions.

Although this is just a small town, Shen Xing's performance has completely exceeded the scope of "small town"!

After all, being able to easily kill or capture a master at the late stage of the Refining Realm is already a deterrent force of innate level.

As for the three families, most of them have already surrendered or fled the city. There are not many who have the courage to resist. Even the famous Pang brothers were defeated so easily, some died and some were captured. How many people would seek their own death?

Finally, as evening fell, a large pile of various treasures was delivered to Shen Xing.

This is precisely his spoils of war today.

The list has been checked.

Shen Xing skipped over money and treasures and pointed out things related to cultivation, which were what he cared about.

Clearly, this was a very fruitful outcome.

There are a total of thirty-eight copies of divine will alone!

The vast majority of them did not come from within the city, but rather from the bandits of the Red Tiger Gang.

They plundered everywhere, carrying all their possessions with them, and naturally, they wouldn't let go of things like divine will inheritance.

However, Shen Xing soon discovered that many of these were duplicates.

It's not surprising that most of these inherited paintings come from the surrounding area and there is some overlap.

Even after removing duplicates, there are still twenty-three copies remaining.

With so many martial arts concepts, it's impossible for Shen Xing to learn them all one by one.

Even with the use of learning devices, there will be some loss of mental energy, making it impossible to learn continuously and requiring a buffer period.
