Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 114 - 41 Li Qing’s Foot

Chapter 114: Chapter 41 Li Qing’s Foot

Martial Arts Hall’s backyard.

Elder Liu merely scrutinized Jiang Ning with two glances before shifting his gaze back to Wang Jin.

“Brother Wang,” he said, returning to the earlier topic, “I don’t know what conditions you might need to order Master Wang to mobilize his stationed troops and the City Guard Army, to join me in the mountains to encircle and suppress the River Dragon Tian Buyi.”

At that moment, upon hearing the three words “Tian Buyi,” Jiang Ning suddenly came to a realization.

He thought to himself, “So these three people are from Medicine King Valley.”

Upon hearing Elder Liu’s words, Wang Jin slowly shook his head and said, “Talking to me is of no use! Although my surname is Wang, I don’t have the influence to make Master Wang do such things! If Elder Liu truly wants to achieve his goal, he would be more effective going to the army camp outside the city to see Master Wang.”

...

Elder Liu’s eyes couldn’t help but flash a hint of indignation upon hearing this.

He took a deep breath and said, “Master Wang, please state your conditions directly. As long as I can fulfill them, I will certainly agree! I also ask Master Wang to help me this time, and I will be indebted to you.”

Wang Jin slowly shook his head, “It’s not that I won’t help, but rather that I lack the ability to help! Elder Liu would be better off going to the county government to sit awhile and find the County Magistrate to mobilize Government Officials and constables, which would be more effective.”

Upon hearing Wang Jin’s words, Elder Liu also rose to his feet.

“Since Master Wang has put it that way, there’s no need for me to shamelessly linger here any longer.”

“I take my leave!” He bowed his hands, turned, and swept away in his robes.

The other two seated by the stone table quickly rose and followed him.

At this time.

Li Qing stood beside Jiang Ning, tilted her head, and whispered into Jiang Ning’s ear, “Brother Jiang, Liu Qingsong doesn’t seem at all like he’s asking for a favor! He can’t put away his pride!”

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Senior Sister Li really has keen insight.”

Li Qing’s expression showed a slight smugness, “That’s all too simple!”

Meanwhile.

Wang Jin watched as Elder Liu left without calling for Jiang Ning or Li Qing to accompany him.

It was only after Elder Liu and his two companions had completely disappeared from his sight that Wang Jin looked away.

His gaze then fell on Jiang Ning beside him.

“How has your martial arts training been going recently, lad?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately nodded repeatedly, “Back to Master, it has been going smoothly.”

“Good!” Wang Jin nodded slightly and then added, “The event for the Inspection Office in Luoshui County is about twenty days away. Are you confident?”

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded emphatically.

Beside him, Li Qing’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise upon overhearing their conversation.

Her gaze surveyed Jiang Ning from top to bottom.

“Brother Jiang is so confident; could the rumors I’ve heard about Brother Jiang since my return to Luoshui County be true?”

“If this is true, it would be rather exaggerated!”

Li Qing silently mused to herself, her eyes flitting back and forth between Wang Jin and Jiang Ning.

Wang Jin spoke up, “Having such confidence is very good!”

He then asked, “Did you come to find me today for any specific reason?”

Jiang Ning shook his head, “No reason, I just hadn’t visited the Martial Arts Hall for a few days, so I decided to come by today.”

“Go on down then,” Wang Jin waved his hand, “I still have things to do!”

“Then… I will take my leave!” Jiang Ning bowed his hands.

Li Qing also said, “Then, I shall take my leave as well.”

The two left the backyard of the Martial Arts Hall.

Upon exiting, a deep curiosity flashed in Li Qing’s eyes as she looked at Jiang Ning.

“Why is Senior Sister Li looking at me like that?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Brother Jiang, I just got back to Luoshui County a few days ago and heard many tales about you. Having just overheard the conversation between Master Wang and Brother Jiang, I’m very curious about Brother Jiang’s abilities. How about a friendly spar with me?” Li Qing said to Jiang Ning, her demeanor eager to try.

Upon hearing Li Qing’s words, Jiang Ning immediately shook his head.

“Senior Sister Li, let’s not. I’m not really interested in sparring!”

“You don’t have a say in this!” Li Qing responded instantly.

No sooner had her words fallen than she spun around, her right leg whipping towards Jiang Ning’s face like a lash.

Beneath this swing of her leg, the sound of the wind whistled sharply.

At this moment, Jiang Ning saw the move.

His left hand’s fingers curled in a flash, like the talons of an eagle, and with ease, he caught Li Qing’s sweeping right leg at the ankle.

Snap—

The instant their forces collided, a crisp sound echoed.

In this moment,

Li Qing only felt her leg strike against a thick wall, utterly immovable.

Then she stared at Jiang Ning, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Her right leg had been blocked by Jiang Ning’s palm and then seized by his fingers. She realized that she had underestimated Jiang Ning.

Because,

No matter who it was, leg strength surpassed arm strength.

This was also one of the advantages of leg techniques.

If two people of equal strength faced her whip-like strike,

Not to mention capturing her leg, they wouldn’t even dare to block it directly.

But now, her leg, spun into a whipping lash, had been effortlessly blocked by Jiang Ning’s raised hand. Moreover, he had taken the opportunity to capture her leg, making a sense of dread flash through her heart.

“Could it be that Brother Jiang’s strength is far superior to mine?”

Li Qing couldn’t help but have this thought, immediately followed by her shaking her head.

“That’s impossible! How long has Brother Jiang been practicing martial arts for his strength to exceed mine? Even if he truly has reached Martial Arts Nine Grade, it’s the same level as mine. How could his arm strength be far greater than my leg strength?”

As this thought crossed her mind, Li Qing’s right leg tensed once again.

Jiang Ning instantly felt Li Qing’s leg muscles suddenly stiffen, as she tried to break free from his grasp.

Sensing Li Qing’s intention, Jiang Ning slightly eased his grip, giving Li Qing a bit of face.

After one breath,

The two looked at each other, eye to eye.

“Give me back my shoe!” Li Qing’s face suddenly turned a shade redder.

For just as she strained her right leg to break free from Jiang Ning’s binding grip, her shoe had been pulled off, leaving her feeling utterly embarrassed.

At that moment,

Jiang Ning felt as though he was about to die.

With Li Qing’s shoe off, a sour and stinky odor shot straight up to the crown of his head.

The more sensitive the sense of smell, the more terrible it was.

Now with extraordinary senses, even without intentionally enhancing his senses, his were far beyond those of an ordinary person, including his sense of smell.

It nearly brought his last night’s dinner back up.

Upon hearing Li Qing’s words, Jiang Ning quickly held his breath and tossed her shoe back to her.

“Senior Sister Li, I’m going to take my leave first!” said Jiang Ning, turning and leaving.

It wasn’t until he hurried out of the Martial Arts Hall that Jiang Ning finally took a deep breath.

“That was terrifying!” he sighed.

Then to himself he thought, the popular science knowledge from my previous life did not deceive me, a woman’s feet truly are seven times smellier than a man’s.

People who practiced martial arts sweated more, and the odor was even more horrific.

Thinking back to the scene just now, a chill ran down Jiang Ning’s spine.
