The patient heard the words but did not answer, only giving a cold laugh.

However, although the two disciples of the Songxi Sword Sect were fierce in their words, they didn’t manage to play any moves that exceeded 10 points of power afterward, only playing their Heart Method and Body Protection Cards, hastily ending their turn.

Following them, Gu Qingyi and all the couriers from Xingtong Escort Agency made similar choices, with Angry Vajra being able to defend against all Martial Studies with a power below 10 points, just this threshold blocked many people’s moves on the outside. Your journey continues on novelbuddy

Everyone could only pin their hopes on Shen Zhou, who would play his cards last.

Feeling the pressure, Shen Zhou took a deep breath and first played a Heart Method Card—the Minor Eternal Spring Technique.

The Minor Eternal Spring Technique is a relatively common Internal Cultivation Method in the Jianghu, favored by many in the martial arts circles for its moderate, balanced nature and its accompanying healing effects, and because the materials required for its cultivation are not too expensive.

When Shen Zhou was young he had studied with a small sect that did not have its own Internal Cultivation Methods, so he too practiced the Minor Eternal Spring Technique.

However, he had cultivated diligently, persisting in his practice for twenty years without slacking a single day, and just a few months ago he had perfected the Minor Eternal Spring Technique to the 4th Level Great Perfection.

This Heart Method Card would provide him with 6 points of True Qi, and its accompanying healing effect could also recover 5 points of health.

But because Shen Zhou was currently at full health, his health would not change, and he followed up by playing two Body Protection Cards—Watertight and Unpredictably Real and Illusory.

These two techniques were the second and fourth form of the Mount-Stabilizing Spear, which together cost him 3 points of True Qi, and provided him with 11 points of parry.

Finally, at the end, Shen Zhou threw out an Attack Card—Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest.

Seeing this card, the couriers from Xingtong Escort Agency immediately became excited.

Because this was the Killing Move within the Fierce Tiger Spear Technique that Shen Zhou had cultivated. Shen Zhou was indeed lucky to have drawn his strongest move right at the start.

Shen Zhou used up the remaining 3 points of True Qi in one breath, activating the additional effect of Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest, boosting its power to 19 points.

Since the patient had already had his parry completely used up by the scholar, he had no choice but to meet this domineering spear thrust with his body.

He was immediately stabbed in the left shoulder, leaving a bloody hole, and his health dropped from 58 points to 39 points.

Seeing this, the couriers from Xingtong Escort Agency let out cheers in succession, "Escort Head Shen is mighty, Escort Head Shen has excellent martial arts!"

However, the patient did not show any sign of panic on his face after taking such a heavy hit but became all the more grim.

"Very well, it looks like you’ve all played your hand, now it’s my turn!" he said.

After he drew two cards, he looked up at the scholar. The scholar’s eyelids twitched at his gaze, mainly because he had no parry left on the field and could only bear the damage.

He had still been hoping against hope, Shen Zhou had just taken 19 points of the patient’s life in one go, would the patient choose to retaliate against him first?

But as it turned out, the patient didn’t even glance at Shen Zhou, immediately after drawing his cards, he threw out an Attack Card—Great Strength Mountain Splitter.

The patient used 2 points of True Qi, raising the power of this move from 9 points to 16 points. Seeing this number, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief; the number above his red figurine’s head was 54.

Even after taking this palm strike, he would still have 38 points of health left, which was still within a safe region.

However, the effect that came with this palm strike was something that concerned him again.

——Severe Injury, the next attack received will have its damage increased by half.

Moreover, this Great Strength Mountain Splitter move seemed somewhat familiar to him, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard of it.

Shen Zhou also saw that card and his face suddenly changed as he blurted out, "This is... a move from the Vajra Monument Opening Hand, you are the infamous Yan Wuji!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone else showed a horrified expression.

Mainly because this name has been too infamous in the martial arts circles recently.

Yan Wuji was originally a disciple of the Vajra Temple, but due to his bloodthirsty nature and narrow-mindedness, he had a conflict with other disciples and killed three of his fellow sect members in a fit of rage.

Afterwards, afraid of being punished by his sect, he fled the mountain and hid his identity, joining a small gang in Huizhou. As a result, after being discovered having an affair with the gang leader’s wife, he annihilated the entire gang of more than twenty people in one fell swoop.

After killing people, Yan Wuji simply moved into the gang leader’s house, living openly with his widow and later married her.

However, since Yan Wuji’s wife was taken from another man, he was always worried about others seducing her away, so whenever he saw someone talking to his wife too much, or casting a few more glances on the road, Yan Wuji would get jealous and start a fight.

Having left the Vajra Temple, Yan Wuji’s martial arts skills did not decline; he was a martial arts prodigy and had learned superior martial arts there. After descending the mountain, he made rapid progress and soon became a well-known master in Huizhou, with even more people dying at his hands.

Without the restraint of his sect, his fierce nature and tendency for slaughter could no longer be suppressed; he killed upwards of a hundred people in total and earned the title of ’the infamous Yan Wuji,’ eventually causing public outrage. Zhengqi Academy, the largest sect in Huizhou, issued a bounty on him.

Many masters of the righteous path also joined the manhunt. Yan Wuji, outnumbered, had no choice but to flee Huizhou in desperation with his wife and child.

This matter was almost common knowledge in the Huizhou martial arts circles, and now many in the neighboring Qingzhou martial arts circles had also heard of it.

Shen Zhou never expected his luck to be so terrible that he would encounter such a demon.

No wonder Yan Wuji did not want to show his martial arts in front of everyone at the Songxi Sword Sect; he was afraid of revealing his identity. However, the man was indeed vindictive; even while fleeing, he would still kill over trivial matters.

"Heh, since you know who I am, then none of you should think about leaving," said Yan Wuji.

Having said that, Yan Wuji threw out his second card——Tendon-Snapping Bone-Breaker.

This was the ninth form of the Vajra Monument Opening Hand, powered by 5 points of True Qi, its might surged to 30 points, aiming straight at the scholar’s chest!

Fear finally appeared in the scholar’s eyes.

Although he still had 38 life points, taking into account the effect of the severe injury, Yan Wuji’s palm could inflict 45 points of damage.

It was not something he could endure; he could only shout in desperation, "Have mercy, if Brother Yan is willing to spare my life today, I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!"

Yan Wuji sneered, "No need; your death is the best repayment to me."

Ignoring the scholar’s plea for mercy, his palm struck the latter’s chest.

The scholar’s chest caved in with the blow, just like the Old Beggar before him; his shattered ribcage pierced his heart, killing him instantly.

Afterward, the scholar’s body was thrown out of the combat zone, landing right at Ma Lu’s feet, who didn’t hesitate and immediately started to search the body.
