Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

It's downright insane.

"The Japanese devils are arrogant and conceited, and they love to play tricks and schemes."

Fujita plotted to bribe the Seven Star Mantis disciples of the Higashiyama Guild to attack us; his intentions are despicable.

If left unattended, once the news leaks out, they will surely devise another scheme when the first one fails.

"This constant back-and-forth, even if it doesn't harm you, will be incredibly annoying..."

Li Xin spoke casually, but his eyes held a serious expression.

He knew better than Zhuang Hongxiu, and better than anyone else in this era, what those Japanese devils were and what outrageous things they would do in the end.

If we're talking about the people Li Xin most wants to kill, then in this capital city, those short, bound-footed girls from the Sakura Club would be second to none.

Even if they don't provoke him, Li Xin still plans to visit them after he has achieved mastery of his cultivation.

Moreover, the other party struck first and had already taken the initiative to plan ahead.

What are you waiting for?

Zhuang Hongxiu nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, if Fujita Shinichi's plan succeeds, the young master will surely wreak havoc and fight the Higashiyama Guild to the death."

Even if the bloodshed is devastating, it will enrage the guild halls throughout the capital.

More than ten guilds, including Beihe, Xishu, Xishan, and Nanjiang, all regarded the young master as their mortal enemy. This man is truly vicious…”

Zhuang Hongxiu was initially puzzled as to why Li Xin was suppressing his murderous intent at the Dongshan Guild Hall. Even after receiving a hidden weapon from Peng Sanyi, he did not retaliate or kill anyone.

Thinking about it, it doesn't really fit his personality.

Looking back now, I realize there were deeper considerations involved.

"That's right. Although the young master is bloodthirsty and his hands are stained with blood, it seems that he only kills those who deserve to die."

It wasn't as the world imagines—a bloodthirsty, indiscriminate killing spree.

……

Sakura-sha is located in the embassy district, with a large facade and exquisite buildings.

Behind the marble door, through the crack, you can see... a garden, blooming with vibrant colors.

Soft piano music drifted out, and someone sang softly, making people feel the warmth of the sun and the tranquility of life.

However, there were also some discouraging comments.

As soon as Li Xin and his companion got off the carriage and walked to the gate, they heard a man with a strange accent speaking loudly in the courtyard: "Wow, Miss Feiyan is a beauty of unparalleled grace, with large breasts and a slender waist, truly a peerless gem."

"How about we dance together while this beautiful scene unfolds?"

"Snapped……"

A crisp slap rang out.

Then four or five loud shouts rang out.

"Baka! How dare you lay a hand on her! Seize her! Strip her naked and let her lord it over..."

A man with a strange accent roared angrily.

"what?"

Li Xin flew into a rage and kicked open the half-closed door.

"stop."

Two soldiers in khaki uniforms stepped forward to block them.

Before they even got close, two muffled thuds rang out, and their Adam's apples were shattered. Their eyes bulged, and they collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

Zhuang Hongxiu slowed her pace slightly, and when she looked up, she saw a figure rushing towards the flower hall, creating a gust of wind.

Testimonials

The free period section is a bit long; it's quite a lot of words.

Some people don't write a farewell message when they launch their products, mainly because the current environment is like this, everyone is having a tough time, and playing the victim doesn't seem to be very effective.

As for exchanging feelings, it seems that people don't really value feelings these days.

If you shout at the top of your lungs and still can't get two monthly votes, that would be embarrassing.

But I still habitually say a few words before listing the product, just as a casual chat.

In terms of its central theme, this book is actually about two regrets in one's heart.

The first is about "standing up".

The author loved watching martial arts films as a child and still remembers the melodies like "The waves surge and flow..." and "Child, this is your home...".

Back then, watching martial arts movies was like getting a shot of adrenaline. Everyone was saying, "Chinese martial arts are amazing! Look how badly they beat the foreigners!"

As I grew older, I gradually figured it out.

I discovered that these movies and novels weren't actually saying how amazing the Chinese are.

When watching "Wang Wu the Great Swordsman," no matter how brilliant or powerful the acting was, what was the final result? He was shot to death, and his body was thrown in front of foreigners. See, that's how it ends.

In the movie "Fearless," the protagonist is poisoned by foreigners and even loses in a fight. While the defeat is valiant and tragic, what's the result? It seems like a dramatic death, but it leaves one with a lingering sense of frustration.

"Chen Zhen" is even more awesome. He beats up those poor guys who are living a good life, like beating up chicks, it's so satisfying, but in the end he still gets shot to death.

Does one have to die?

Even the later, more controversial film "Ip Man" ended with him fleeing to Hong Kong in disgrace, where he lived a life of ordinary citizens.

Yeah, this one escaped, didn't die, and didn't have much fun either.

You can see that now, can't you?

The most skilled martial artists either die or flee in the end.

The more glorious the description at the beginning, the more representative it was of the Chinese people, the more tragically he died. Is this implying that if you disagree, you will die?

Openly proclaim that Chinese Kung Fu is powerful and that no one in the world can beat it.

In fact, after watching the movie and thinking about it carefully at home, it seems that foreigners are really powerful, and no matter how hard we struggle, we are doomed.

Now you see? These movies, in the end, are all filled with Japanese and Westerners. That's fucking amazing.

They have guns, I have my chest.

I died more beautifully than you, and I cried louder than you.

I won, I'm so excited, aren't I?

Are these movies telling us that no matter how hard we struggle, we're destined to lose?

Or are they trying to tell us that foreigners are so invincible and so powerful?

There are some things that are not appropriate to say too much, but everyone knows that when you walk down the street and see blonde hair, blue eyes, or white skin, you feel a sense of awe and respect.

Are the young women and wives' eyes lighting up? Even when they go to school, they want several female classmates to accompany them...

Having a son or a daughter, do you want to send them abroad to study?

Ah, I can't say that.

Fine, I won't say it then. All I want to say is, so many years ago, we shouted to stand up, but when did we really stand up?

Therefore, the first theme of this book is to truly stand up, not the kind of standing up where you kneel on the ground and kowtow, thinking that you have won by kowtowing loudly.

It's the kind of killing that terrifies the world, making people avoid it, kneel in worship, and stand up with reverence.

I couldn't achieve it in real life, but I can still have some fun in the book.

If you share the same emotional needs and enjoyed watching, don't hesitate to vote or subscribe!

This kind of vigor is worth praising.

……

The second theme, of course, is immortality.

It's something that's impossible in reality. Sometimes when you see people practicing martial arts, like Lü Liangwei and Qi Guanjun, they're in their seventies or eighties, but they look like they're in their thirties or forties. They're practically young people.

We were so envious!

Whenever I open my mouth to talk about martial arts, everyone basically just laughs at me...

Speaking of which, martial arts has indeed had its reputation ruined by some people.

You say you can't fight, you're a weakling, so why don't you just stay quiet and stay put?

They just had to show off.

If you lose, it means your martial arts are bad; if you win, it means you're a very skilled person.

What kind of toy is this?

In my opinion, there is no strongest fist in the world, only the strongest person.

You're amazing! Your style of "Turtle Fist" is a legendary and unparalleled martial art.

However, it must be said that some of the things passed down from our ancestors, such as breathing exercises to strengthen muscles and improve blood circulation, can indeed improve health, maintain physical condition, and extend lifespan.

Although not many.

The stories in my book are attempts to uncover a path to immortality from these few useful traditions, allowing ordinary mortals to glimpse it.

Perhaps it's possible, but we haven't studied it in depth enough to do so.

This book has just begun, and it's still about body cultivation. Next, we should come across some lost secret techniques, myths, and all sorts of strange tales passed down from ancient times.

The main theme is to explore the hidden secrets of human nature, unveil the mysteries of the world, look up at the stars, and embark on the path to eternity.

Let's take it one step at a time and see how to write it.

As for the rebellion or missionary work that some people are hoping for, naturally I dare not write about those.

This book doesn't delve into politics, nor does it alter history. It's simply a story about practicing martial arts to achieve immortality and strengthen both body and mind; it's a story about courage.

……

Chapter Ninety-Five: Critical Hit, Targeted Kill (Seeking First Subscription)

In the center of the garden, flowers are in full bloom all around.

A fat, middle-aged man with a mustache covered his cheek with one hand and gripped his uniform knife with the other, roaring angrily.

His left cheek was swollen with five red ridges, and his voice was distorted from the pain.
