His left leg stomped the ground hard, creating a pit, and in the blink of an eye, he was within a few feet of Qin Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he pulled out the axe from his bosom, swinging it towards the opponent’s head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escaping was definitely not an option, so he might as well fight for a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you!\" Qin Yun’s face twisted ferociously, \"You country bumpkin, I’ll dissect you alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll cut off your limbs, peel your skin, and let ants and insects gnaw you to death in a jar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He expertly lifted the broad sword in his hand with one hand, aiming straight at Lou Yi’s chest, trying to defeat him in one strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splitting Mountain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s concentration reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscles in his thighs, buttocks, waist, back, and arms exerted force simultaneously; the terrifying power flowed like water into his right hand and transmitted entirely into the axe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoo!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this strike, even the air seemed to let out a mournful sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, Lou Yi’s casual strike wielded over a thousand pounds of force, and the Splitting Mountain skill fully unleashed his potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength was so immense that even he wasn’t sure of it, surely it would surprise the opponent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun originally didn’t care, but hearing the axe’s piercing sound, his face changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to change his move, but at this moment, an invisible energy suddenly surged towards his brain, causing his movements to freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming aura of the Splitting Mountain technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this high-level martial arts?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon realizing this, Qin Yun was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left hand hurriedly reached for the sword hilt, preparing to switch from single-handed to dual-handed hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he barely completed the change, Lou Yi’s axe blade fiercely struck Qin Yun’s broad sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sound of metal clashing made everyone on the scene involuntarily frown and cover their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun desperately controlled his sword, not allowing it to be suppressed by the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang, clang, clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi instantly swung three consecutive axes, each strike with 100% of his extreme strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the disbelief of everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ordinary axe for chopping wood cleaved through the seemingly impressive broad sword effortlessly, then continued without pause, slicing through Qin Yun’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Puff!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A head with a terrified expression soared into the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun, just a step away from breaking through a barrier, dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How, how is it possible...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang En, with his pockmarked face, was utterly frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a master from the main city, with one foot in the martial barrier, how could Lou Yi cut him down with one move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others present were also dumbfounded, unable to believe the scene before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi himself was also surprised, not expecting this Heavy Sword Sect disciple to be so vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He was too young and underestimated the enemy, wrongly estimating my strength, plus the Splitting Mountain skill also had a mental deterrent effect.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi, upon thinking it over, understood the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun naturally looked down on a commoner like him, possibly only using twenty to thirty percent of his strength at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that even a rabbit could kill an eagle when desperate, leading to his tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shoot him!\" an archer in black shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Swish, swish, swish!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrage of arrows shot towards Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi grabbed Qin Yun’s headless body, holding it in front of him to block most of the arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, one pierced his left arm, with the arrowhead drilling halfway in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi roared, decisively pulling out the arrow, blood spurting out, as he charged into the ranks of the hunters and archers like a fierce beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his hand up and axe down, he chopped in half the person who had just shot him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy is a madman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s bloody means terrified the crowd, leaving them with no will to resist, as they scattered to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing these enemies intent on killing him, Lou Yi had no mercy, with speed and senses beyond ordinary people, he went on to cut down four or five more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining people fled into the reed fields, and some jumped into the river, barely escaping disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the scene, the guards from Jia Family Manor looked at each other, their eyes full of fear but maintaining composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had no grievance with Lou Yi, believing he wouldn’t redirect his anger toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wang En quietly moved to the back, untied a horse from the wagon, and planned to ride away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Slap!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fist-sized stone cut through the sky, hitting his temple hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang En was knocked off the horse, eyes wide open, with a large pool of blood quickly forming beneath his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his ear, an oval pebble embedded halfway, as if it naturally belonged there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All strategies calculated, yet they cost him his life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang En wanted to kill me, so I killed him! I, Lou Yi, always repay kindness and avenge grievances!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just, please convey my apologies to the squire, that I can no longer serve the Jia Family Manor.\" Lou Yi, at some point, walked over, and ’kindly’ closed Wang En’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave Xinxiang, no, you must leave Tai City!\" Cui Yuan said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled Lou Yi aside, glanced around, hesitated for a moment, and handed over a yellow booklet he often read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to Longkou Town; there’s a large port where you can go to Jiang City. This has the route to Longkou Town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You gave me the map!\" Lou Yi was a bit shocked and asked, \"Won’t the squire punish you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowledge is priceless; this map is probably more valuable than ten acres of land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the squire asks, I’ll just say I lost it.\" Cui Yuan smiled, \"Besides, this booklet isn’t complete; the squire won’t mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he handed over a hexagonal iron piece with unfamiliar characters and whispered, \"Take this, find Su Laizi in Longkou Town, he can help you board a ship to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi took the iron piece, patted Cui Yuan’s shoulder, and earnestly thanked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a horse, turned, and left, soon disappearing from the guards’ sight at Jia Family Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will Brother Yi be able to escape?\" Shi Zhan asked worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say, it depends on his fortune.\" Cui Yuan shook his head, then added, \"He killed Qi Lao’er, and also a Martial Arts Hall disciple from the city. The court won’t let him go, and the Martial Arts Hall will also hunt him. It’s tough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lou Yi, whom Cui Yuan said had a hard time surviving, did not immediately head to Longkou Town but instead arrived at a secluded place with no people around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today, he was destined to become a criminal of the court, and he must seize every moment to enhance his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked towards the semi-transparent attribute panel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Lou Yi]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Age: 19\u002F55]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Realm: None]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: Lou’s Axe Skill (Proficient 0\u002F30), Stone Throwing (Mastery 0\u002F30), Basic Boxing Technique (Introduction 0\u002F3), Basic Spear Technique (Introduction 0\u002F6), Secret Skill: Dragon Piercing Technique - Fragment (0\u002F20)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Energy: 11]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy reached a full eleven points, unprecedentedly abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two points were obtained earlier, and the other nine were gained from looting corpses after killing today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he was a principled person; if he became a killing demon, he would probably gain strength rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, at that point, could he still be considered human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi had his moral limits, and as he looked at the skill section, he already had a plan in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1361,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.610Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","983c4b5d0a9e68487b3b92283d86ff25b534c26a09ee302b1f4478f05705f221","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-39","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-37",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
