Becoming a Saint Starting with the Chasing Wind Leg Technique

The Commandant's Office naturally intervened immediately.

The captain was also furious and said, "This Wang family is truly audacious!"

They seem so honest and law-abiding, yet they secretly have such deep ties with the Blood Lotus Cult, and have become their new stronghold.

It seems that in this chaotic world, the Blood Lotus Cult, with even more corpses, has been resurrected, and its momentum is even stronger than before.

The dangers posed by the Blood Lotus Cult should not be underestimated.

Lu Beichen, leading a team of elite soldiers, stood before the ruins of the Wang family with a gloomy expression.

Although the fire has been extinguished, most of the buildings have been reduced to charcoal, and the residual heat and black smoke still linger.

The initial inspection results only made Lu Beichen more agitated.

Dozens of charred bodies were found in the ruins, and they were initially identified as members of the Wang family.

Beneath the ruins in the backyard, a burnt-out secret chamber was unearthed, revealing more charred corpses and a large number of human bones, as well as some fragments of artifacts bearing the characteristics of the Blood Lotus Cult that were not completely burned.

"The Blood Lotus Sect again! Another massacre! And someone beat me to it again!" Enraged, Lu Beichen kicked Jiao Mu, who was lying at his feet, and muttered under his breath, "Damn it! Which bastard beat me to it again?!"

He was so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood! The Blood Lotus Sect branch was wiped out, he took the blame, and he was even ambushed several times.

The Wang family, who are suspected of colluding with the Blood Lotus Sect, have now been wiped out. It is obvious that someone acted as a chivalrous hero or double-crossed them. But what credit is there for this?

Where are the clues?

He didn't get a single penny again! Instead, he's left with this mess to clean up!

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! See if anyone saw any suspicious figures last night! Also, who has the Wang family been associating with lately? Do they have any enemies?" Lu Beichen roared at his subordinates, venting his frustration. Why was he always one step behind? Who exactly was this "knight-errant" lurking in the shadows? Was he friend or foe?

Each time, he could accurately locate the Blood Lotus Cult's strongholds or associates, and then burn them to the ground. His efficiency was so high that even he, the top expert under the captain, felt ashamed and...envious.

"This credit should have belonged to me!"

"If we find out who this person is, we'll kill him if he's an enemy, and if he's a friend, we'll give him a good sparring match first!" Lu Beichen pounded his chest and stamped his feet, looking at his busy subordinates and the onlookers, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

In stark contrast to Lu Beichen's frustration, Song Jing was at a crucial moment in his breakthrough.

After returning to his secluded and safe courtyard, he immediately activated all the warning mechanisms and then sat cross-legged in the quiet room.

He carefully hid the two hundred taels of silver notes, as they were an important guarantee for his subsequent cultivation.

Then, he took out a Blood Fiend Pill that he had obtained from Wang Shilong, and another Blood Fiend Pill that he had found in the Wang family's secret chamber, for a total of two.

The crimson pills gleamed eerily under the light, their rich energy almost bursting forth from the bottle.

"Although the pills are wicked, their power is undeniable. They are righteous when used properly, and wicked when used improperly," Song Jing muttered to himself, suppressing the discomfort he felt due to the pill-making method.

He needs strength, he needs to break through as soon as possible.

As for the resentment and impurities contained in the pills... he believed that with his solid foundation and the tempering effect of the Golden Bell Shield, combined with the residual medicinal power of the premium Skin Tempering Pill, he could refine and purify them into the purest blood and qi resources.

In addition, there was already a foundation for refining it before. However, the current Blood Fiend Pill has a more concentrated blood and qi because it is for Bronze Skin Realm martial artists to break through, while the previous one was for Iron Skin Realm martial artists to break through.

He was confident that he could refine the elixir without any problems.

Without further hesitation, he tilted his head back and swallowed the two Blood Fiend Pills from Wang Shilong.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a violent surge of qi and blood exploded forth!

It's several times more potent than any pill I've ever taken before!

A throbbing pain instantly shot through the meridians, and a pale golden luster automatically emerged from beneath the skin, circulating wildly to guide, suppress, and refine this immense power.

Song Jing focused intently on his spiritual platform, using the unique method of the Golden Bell Cover to guide his qi and blood to repeatedly wash and beat the skin membranes all over his body, especially those areas that had already been tempered into "copper skin," allowing them to advance towards a deeper, denser, and tougher "mid-stage copper skin."

Time passed little by little.

Sweat soaked through his clothes, and the golden light beneath his skin sometimes shone as brightly as a candle, and sometimes remained as restrained as mist. His aura was also constantly rising and solidifying.

When most of the medicinal power of the first Blood Fiend Pill had been absorbed, he swallowed the second one without hesitation...

His boundless energy surged and roared within him like a flood bursting its banks.

A mix of sensations—pain, numbness, itching, burning—was overwhelming.

But his mind remained as firm as a rock, unmoved, constantly circulating energy throughout the body, refining the copper skin.

After an unknown amount of time, the medicinal power of the fifth Blood Fiend Pill began to be absorbed.

"Click..."

A soft yet clear sound, like shattering glass or the clanging of metal, came from deep within his body.

The solid barrier between the early and middle stages of the Copper Skin Realm was finally swept away by the vast torrent of Qi and blood!

"Buzz—!"

Song Jing was surrounded by golden light, like a small sun rising in the quiet room!

The pale golden light beneath the skin became incredibly solid, as if a thin layer of gold and copper were truly covering the body, shimmering and indestructible.

Every part of his body subtly exuded a metallic texture and luster.

A powerful sense of energy filled my entire body, and my blood circulation was nearly twice as fast as before!

The five senses become more acute, the spirit is incredibly vibrant, and the mind is clear and lucid.

Mid-stage Copper Skin Realm, achieved!

Song Jing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with golden light, sharp as lightning, before gradually calming down after a long while.

He exhaled a long, refreshing breath, the air condensed like an arrow, shooting several feet away.

Feeling the surging, unprecedented power within his body, and sensing the resilient, substantial texture emanating from his skin, Song Jing finally smiled with relief.

"Finally... I have the ability to protect myself."

At the mid-stage of the Copper Skin Realm, combined with the fully mastered Chasing Wind Leg Technique, the partially mastered Wind and Thunder Leg Technique, and the equally partially mastered but incredibly defensive Golden Bell Shield.

His current strength is far greater than before his breakthrough!

"Li Wei..." Song Jing clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

The frustration of being ambushed and injured, and the sense of being threatened as an ant that could be crushed at any moment, have completely vanished.

Although Li Wei was at the peak of the Copper Skin Realm, which was much higher than my own realm.

For an ordinary person to cultivate normally, it would take at least a year to catch up with him, even for someone with good aptitude.

But with his solid foundation, exquisite combination of techniques, and formidable defense that makes him unafraid of injury, it remains to be seen who will win in a head-on battle!

At least now, I no longer need to fear him, nor do I need to endure and avoid him as before.

Even if he really can't beat him, with his current speed, if he wants to leave, he definitely won't be able to stop him!

"The time for reckoning is fast approaching."

Song Jing looked out of the courtyard, his gaze seemingly piercing through the walls, seeing Li Wei's courtyard, the Zhang family mansion, and the shadow that the Blood Lotus Sect might be hiding in the west of the city.

"Who's next?"

He slowly rose, his golden light receding as he regained his composure.

But the surging power and chilling killing intent within him were like a drawn sword, its sharpness fully revealed.
