Chapter 54 Trouble
Chapter 54 Trouble
"Clang~"
The sickle struck Chen Ran with a crisp sound.
Zhou Jie's hand was throbbing with pain from the impact.
Before he could react...
The world spun around.
Qin Shou's henchmen were thrown out.
"Okay, could you help me find out where there are houses for rent in Zhoujia Village?"
He patted the slashed area, and a faint white mark slowly appeared.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.
Iron Armor Skill truly lives up to its reputation as a body-strengthening technique that can be cultivated to the point of reaching the third level of blood.
As long as there are enough large doses of medicine, one can cultivate all the way up to the third blood level.
Having just reached the minor completion stage of cultivation, Chen Ran's physical defense was immediately raised to a higher level.
Chen Ran nodded, quite satisfied.
After doing all this, Chen Ran looked at Wu Nianchu, who had already run over.
The other person stood there, looking at Chen Ran with disbelief in their eyes.
At this moment, only Chen Ran and his companion remained in the courtyard.
Oh, and there's also a corpse that's turned into seven colors.
"Brother Chen..."
"Da da da~"
Before Wu Nianchu could speak, the group of people who had been squatting on the ground earlier were seen leading a burly man towards them.
Upon seeing the burly man, a hint of doubt flashed across Chen Ran's face.
Was Wu Heng that tall before?
The visitor was none other than Wu Heng.
"younger sister."
He rushed in, his face full of anxiety.
He was stunned when he saw the scene inside.
"Brother Chen?!?"
…………….
As darkness fell, snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.
In Zhoujia Village, wisps of smoke slowly rise from the chimneys.
On the east side of the village, in a thatched hut far from the village, the lights were on.
Inside the room, steam rose, and a clay pot was placed in the center of the table, with a plate of charcoal underneath constantly heating the pot.
The fragrance filled the entire room.
The three people sat facing each other at the table.
"It seems you're doing quite well here."
Chen Ran spoke slowly.
"If it weren't for Brother Chen, you saved my brother and me."
"I'm afraid that Master Wang has already killed both my brother and me."
Across from Chen Ran, Wu Heng looked at Chen Ran with gratitude and spoke very respectfully.
"I didn't help you with anything, I just did what I could."
Although it may be presumptuous, I'd still like to ask, has your mind returned to normal?
Chen Ran looked at Wu Heng with some curiosity; he was genuinely curious about Wu Heng.
After all, Wu Heng was no different from an idiot before.
But now, it's actually healed?
Chen Ran would never believe that nothing had happened.
Upon seeing Chen Ran's question, the brother and sister exchanged a glance.
"If this involves any secrets, I have no intention of inquiring."
"Hey, there's nothing you can't tell Brother Chen."
Actually, I only found out about this after I regained consciousness.
When we were little, my grandfather had me practice a martial art and used some precious secret medicines to soak me in.
For the sake of…
As Wu Heng recounted his story little by little...
Chen Ran now understood the whole story.
Simply put, Wu Heng's lineage is the main lineage, and he has been practicing the family's Seven Remnants of the Body since childhood.
The Seven Remnants of Metamorphosis is not a cultivation technique, but a secret art.
This secret technique can generate a self-protective state when the human body suffers serious injury.
For example, Wu Heng's idiotic appearance before.
When the time comes and the energy channels are opened, one can instantly break through to a higher level, and at the same time, cultivation techniques will appear in one's mind.
This is Wu Heng, who has now broken through to the second level of the Bloodline and is now a master of physical strength.
He had actually already undergone one of the seven remnants of his body during his escape.
For some unknown reason, he was injured again.
Several months ago, after he and his sister arrived in Zhoujia Village, they encountered a series of events.
Finally, Wu Heng completely broke free from the shackles of the Seven Remnants and recovered.
He is now a second-level warrior.
"One incomplete transformation, one breakthrough? Then with three bloodlines, you can directly cultivate internal energy?"
After hearing Wu Heng finish speaking, a hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Ran's eyes.
After the third blood, the body is directly tempered with primordial blood.
At the same time, a force called "Jingli" is generated within the body.
He learned all of this from Zhou Changfeng.
As for how strong this power is, Chen Ran hasn't experienced it yet and isn't entirely sure.
"Brother Chen, I... I don't know either?"
Wu Heng scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright, Brother Chen, you two stop fighting and eat first. I'm starving."
Before the two men, this previously fierce tigress now smiled happily like a little lamb.
"Yes, yes, Brother Chen, this is a silverback snake that I caught from Qingfeng Mountain. It's a really big snake."
Even after breaking through to the second level of blood, I still had to fight this beast to the death before I could finally kill it.
You should try it.
"Silverback snake? You once took on the herb-gathering business for the Zhang family's pharmacy?"
Upon hearing the name "silverback snake," Chen Ran's interest was immediately piqued.
"Zhang Family Pharmacy? Yes, several villages around here are saying that Zhang Family Pharmacy needs to collect some medicinal herbs. That time, I went to Qingfeng Mountain and found a nest of silverback snakes. The snakes were densely intertwined together, which made people feel disgusted.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? You want a silverback snake head?"
Finally, Wu Heng asked with some doubt.
"I'm not really interested in silverback snakes, but I am more interested in the plants that grow next to them."
"Could you take me up the mountain tomorrow?"
Chen Ran asked.
"Of course, no problem."
Seeing the two discussing the issue again, Wu Nianchu showed no displeasure. Instead, she would steal glances at Chen Ran from time to time, her face full of a happy smile.
……….
Early the next morning.
Chen Ran got up early.
I was just about to go out with Wu Heng.
"Bang!!!"
The door was suddenly smashed open.
A large group of people were standing menacingly at the door.
"It was her, that woman, she's the one who killed Boss Qin Shou."
Among the crowd, the person Chen Ran had thrown out yesterday was wrapped in burlap strips and trembling as he pointed out Wu Nianchu in the room.
"Wu Heng, don't think that just because you're a martial artist, you can do whatever you want in the village."
My poor son Qin Shou works diligently in the village, staying up every night to protect the villagers from being bullied by the refugees.
But my son died at the hands of your sister.
Your sister killed my son; she must pay with her life.
Upon hearing the identification, the elderly man in the coarse brocade clothes who was in the lead glared angrily and shouted a stern question.
"Yes, yes, Brother Qin Shou is the best to us."
"Wu Nianchu still used poison; she's a witch."
"If it weren't for our Zhoujia Village taking you in, you would have been killed by the refugees long ago."
They even killed people from our village! How could you repay kindness with enmity?!
