Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 30 Mysterious Yin Bone-Dislocating Hand

He lunged forward in a flash, his hand forming a claw, creating a gust of wind as he suddenly grabbed at Lin Qing's shoulder.

With a thought, Lin Qing had already equipped himself with the perfected Lone Goose Reflecting Shadow and Perfected Water Floating martial arts.

He raised his hand and threw a punch, meeting Chai Rang's "claws" head-on; fist and claw collided.

Lin Qing was actually forced back. He frowned, feeling that Chai Rang was incredibly strong and his arm was cold, like a piece of cold iron, which he could not touch at all.

At this moment, Chai Rang attacked again, pressing his advantage relentlessly. Lin Qing immediately changed tactics, using his perfect Water-Walking Technique to dodge the attack.

With the help of this lightness skill, his footwork became extremely agile, and Chai Rang missed his claws several times.

Lin Qing quickly seized Chai Rang's weakness, suddenly drew his sword, and slashed out. With the blessing of the perfect Lone Goose Reflecting Shadow, this slash was fast and ruthless, drawing an arc in the air and accurately striking Chai Rang's arm, cutting him directly to the ground.

Chai Rang tried to dodge, but it was too late. He felt that the knife was too fast, like the shimmering moonlight, and he couldn't dodge it at all.

A sharp pain struck, and Chai Rang let out a bloodcurdling scream as he staggered backward, clutching his bleeding arm.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Qing stepped forward, raised his hand, and with another slash, severed the man's head.

"Grandpa Chai is dead!"

When Chai Rang died, many people around panicked and rushed out of the courtyard.

Of the seven thugs, two were knocked unconscious by the flying stones, while the other five, though injured, were not incapacitated and immediately took off running.

Lin Qing did not pursue them. He first reached out and searched Chai Rang's body, but only found a few taels of silver.

"He's a poor wretch too."

He pulled a small, dark green bottle from his pocket. This was the body-dissolving liquid provided by the government office, used to dispose of corpses in urgent situations.

He pulled out the bottle stopper and splashed a large amount of dark green liquid onto Chai Rang's corpse. In a short while, the corpse turned into a pool of sewage.

Then, he threw a tinderbox into the sewage, which spontaneously combusted and turned to ashes in a few breaths.

During the burning process, information appeared in front of Lin Qing, which was basic information from Chai Rang, and the progress of the salvation quickly reached 100 from 0.

In an instant, Lin Qing was plunged into a turbulent flow of memories, with a large number of trivial memories from Chai Rang's life surfacing in his mind.

After the Record of Rebirth was upgraded to the second level, he was able to see many more memories than before.

A moment later, as the last scene faded away, Lin Qing took a deep breath, deeply shaken, because this memory contained an immense amount of information.

First, there's Chai Rang's identity. He's not only the leader of the Sanhe Gang, but also a miscellaneous disciple of the Yin Yuan Sect.

The reason he was able to transform from an idle rogue into the leader of the Sanhe Gang in just a few years was because he had the support of the Yin Yuan Sect.

Secondly, Chai Rang's martial arts skills are at the peak of Ming Jin, having mastered a martial art called Xuan Yin Cuo Gu Shou to perfection.

This is why Lin Qing suffered a great loss in strength during their first confrontation.

Finally, and most importantly, after Yin Muhua arrived, Chai Rang became one of her most capable subordinates.

The reason Chai Rang targeted the general store was because Yin Muhua had been secretly gathering intelligence and had identified several important locations where the wooden statues might be hidden, and the Lin family's general store was one of them.

Chai Rang's task is to confirm whether this general store has a Buddha statue. If he finds one, Yin Muhua can recommend him to become an outer disciple of the Yin Yuan Sect.

The lowest-ranking servants in the Yin Yuan Sect were essentially unofficial members, no different from cannon fodder.

The outer disciples are different; they can enter the Yin Yuan Sect's residence to learn martial arts and enjoy many other benefits.

Therefore, even though Chai Rang knew that Lin Qing had powerful backers, he still insisted on searching for him, which cost him his life.

"If they keep investigating like this, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later," Lin Qing thought to himself.

"Cao Family Village," Lin Qing murmured.

Chai Rang's memory clearly shows that Yin Muhua is currently hiding in Caojiazhuang.

Only her most trusted assistants knew about this, and Chai Rang was one of them.

If Lin Qing hadn't used the Record of Rebirth to probe memories, this crucial information would never have been discovered.

So now, he has two choices: either keep it a secret or report it.

Lin Qing quickly made a decision: he would report it. He couldn't eat or sleep peacefully until Yin Muhua died; he always felt like a sword was hanging over his head.

He lacks the ability to do it himself, so he can only rely on the government.

"I'll go find my master first thing tomorrow morning," Lin Qing thought to himself.

At this moment, a lot of information appeared in front of him.

1. Mysterious Yin Dislocation Hand (Perfect)

This is a low-level martial art that is passed down in the Yin Yuan Sect of Sichuan. It combines fighting and training, and its moves are insidious and can dislocate tendons and bones. Those who are hit by it will suffer unbearable pain. When it is perfected, it can reach the peak of Ming Jin, which can stimulate the cold marrow energy. The energy flows through the whole body, which can strengthen the body and greatly increase the hardness of certain parts of the body, and block the pain sensation.

2 Talents • Poison Resistance (Excellent)

The body has a resistance to common poisons that far exceeds that of ordinary people. After being poisoned, the reaction is milder than that of ordinary people, and the onset time is delayed.

3 Techniques (Minor Success)

He is proficient in the operation of various gambling tools and is skilled at cheating to win money.

4. Wandering Soul Step (Minor Success)

The unorthodox light-foot technique, which originated from the Yin Yuan Sect in Sichuan, is characterized by its agile footwork, allowing for rapid dodges and maneuvers over short distances and providing significant assistance to martial artists in confined spaces.

Lin Qing immediately chose to replicate the first martial art, the Xuan Yin Dislocation Hand.

This is the second perfected cultivation method he has encountered since the Eight Strikes of the Spirit Serpent. Before that, whether it was Lone Goose Reflecting its Shadow or Floating on Water, they were all just combat techniques.

The two are very different; training can strengthen the body, while combat can enhance fighting ability.

He didn't know what changes would occur to his body or how much his combat power would increase if he equipped himself with a perfected cultivation technique. He was filled with anticipation.

However, before that, he first took a thick hemp rope and tied up the two unconscious thugs in the yard.

"With such a commotion, the officials from the yamen should arrive first thing tomorrow morning."

After thinking it over, Lin Qing decided not to go back and would spend the night in the general store.

With a thought, he chose to equip the Perfected Profound Yin Dislocation Hand.

hum!

His body shuddered, as if a force had been forcibly injected into his body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably and experience a sharp pain.

Previously, when he was equipped with fighting techniques such as Lone Goose Reflecting Shadow or the Lesser Completion Realm Spirit Serpent Eight Strikes, he had never experienced such a strong reaction.

However, Lin Qing is a tough nut to crack and has an extremely high pain tolerance.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and process the various details and techniques that kept popping into his mind.

After a while, he lost control and began practicing the moves of this martial art in the courtyard, which consisted of twelve moves in total.

Lin Qing quickly completed the entire routine and absorbed a large portion of the information.

"This martial art appears to have twelve moves, but its complexity is not as great as the Eight Strikes of the Serpent. It has very few details and is generally quite rough."

Lin Qing silently compared the results in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion.

However, this is normal. The Eight Strikes of the Serpent is a martial art that all the clerks in the government offices of the entire Shu region learn. It was carefully selected by the imperial court from among many martial arts. It may not be first-class, but it is definitely above average.
