If he were grabbed, his neck would probably be pierced with five bloody holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, the tendons all over his body tightened instantly, and his bones made a crackling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the five fingers were about to grab his neck, he took the initiative to extend one hand to let the other party hook it, avoiding the outcome of his neck being pierced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his other hand swung out fiercely, like a Bear King swinging its arm, and with the expansion of his muscles, he punched towards the person's armpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a method of mutual destruction; even if the other party could pierce one of his hands, this punch could also break the other party's ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang soon realized something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this person's attack was as fast as lightning and the wind was fierce, there wasn't much lethality on the five fingers. The scene he expected of his palm being pierced didn't appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only felt a slight pain in his palm, and the other party had already exhausted his strength; it didn't look like he wanted to kill him, but more like he wanted to capture him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't stop being ruthless because of this; he didn't know what this person specifically wanted to do, so he had to kill the other party first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist hit the person's armpit heavily, and a \"crack\" sound followed in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the person screamed and flew backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a hard body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang was vigilant in his heart. If this punch had hit an ordinary person, they would definitely have died on the spot, with their internal organs shattered, but this person could actually still scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt to him like hitting a stubborn stone; if it weren't for the support of true qi, his hand would have been injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't stop there. He performed a \"Bear Pounce,\" and as the mud under his feet cracked, he chased after him like a bolt of lightning and punched out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his dantian, true qi surged out like a tide, constantly gathering on his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark night, Xu Yang's fist seemed to be about to emit light, tearing through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, this is a misunderstanding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person flying backward screamed, vomiting blood from his mouth, looking terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Xu Yang saw that this person had already been injured; his robes were already stained with blood, and there were several palm prints left on him, as if they had been hit into his bones. His abdomen was opened, revealing flesh-rolling wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried his best to raise his hands, wanting to block Xu Yang's punch, but he didn't have much strength at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang's fist broke through his arms and hit a palm print with irresistible force. Blood splattered instantly, revealing white bone fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person's eyes rolled back, and he screamed as he accelerated backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying body hit a large tree, and the momentum of flying backward stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree trunk shook, and a large number of leaves fell down with a rustle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang chased after him. Even though this person was already breathing more than he was exhaling and his body leaning against the tree was already limp as mud, he still swung his fist and punched again, aiming straight for a fragile place like the throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of bone cracking rang out. Under the impact of his fist power, the person's neck presented a twisted state, and his neck was broken alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang let out a heavy breath, and saw the person's eyes wide open, seemingly containing a touch of astonishment and unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fist was withdrawn, the corpse fell down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He probably mistook me for an ordinary person...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person had already been seriously injured and was at the end of his rope; he should have fainted here. He appeared unexpectedly and was probably mistaken for an ordinary person and wanted to be restrained. He didn't expect that he was also a martial artist, which is why he shouted \"misunderstanding\" before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang didn't know if his guess was right, but the person had already been beaten to death, so he couldn't verify it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he must be an expert, at least with Qi-gathering Great Achievement cultivation. If it weren't for the fact that the other party's true qi was exhausted and he was injured, the one who would have fallen would be him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if this person hadn't been injured, they probably wouldn't have fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squatting down, Xu Yang began to search the corpse. First, he found a money bag, which was full of broken silver, looking like eleven or twelve taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't much, but it wasn't little either, equivalent to two months' allowance from the Liu Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a situation where expenses exceed income, this bit of silver is very important to him; the progress of his martial arts can be maintained, and he doesn't have to live frugally to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to search, he soon felt something hard at the trouser leg, which had been sewn into the trouser leg, feeling a bit like a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be a secret manual?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang tore with both hands, and after a \"rip\" sound, a book with a blue cover appeared in his eyes, with the three vigorous and powerful characters \"Vajra Technique\" written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is a secret manual!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart thumped wildly, and his gaze scanned the surroundings vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was carrying such a thing and was seriously injured; perhaps it was because of the secret manual that he was hunted down and injured to this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly tucked the secret manual into his bosom, then picked up the corpse on the ground and ran quickly towards the mountains not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing open the door, the little girl Xu Qing was still writing under the oil lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, why are you back so late today?\" Xu Qing looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The master of the house had something to do today, so I was delayed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he leaned over to see what Xu Qing was writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't look!\" The little girl hurriedly used her hand to block the things on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your handwriting is so ugly, it's right to hide it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang laughed, and the little girl's face turned red. She indeed didn't let Xu Yang look because her handwriting was ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting with Xu Qing for a few more words, he returned to his room, closed the door, took out the Vajra Technique by the oil lamp, and began to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After an ordinary person gathers Qi, the true qi has no characteristics, whether it is attacking or tempering the body, the effect is very average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vajra Technique is a technique for cultivating Vajra true qi, which can convert ordinary true qi into Vajra true qi. Once the Vajra true qi is cultivated, the purity of the true qi increases greatly, not only is the attack unparalleled and difficult to expel once it enters the opponent's body, but the effect of tempering the body will also change greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one tempers the body with Vajra true qi year after year, the body can even become as hard as Vajra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is actually a protective technique for cultivating Vajra true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he felt just now that the person's body was abnormally hard; he was afraid that he had also cultivated this Vajra Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Vajra Technique · Not Yet Entered (0\u002F100)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it once, a faint light flickered before his eyes, and the panel popped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang was moved. The proficiency for the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist to enter the door seemed to be only 10; this is directly ten times that of the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it's also normal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the description in the book, saying that the cultivation of this kind of protective technique has little to do with talent; it is mainly a matter of water-grinding effort, year after year of unremitting persistence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of talent has little effect on the progress of the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first step in cultivating the Vajra Technique is to cultivate the Vajra true qi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he had been patrolling all day during the day and hadn't cultivated much, so his energy was still very vigorous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hiding the Vajra Technique secret manual, Xu Yang closed his eyes and began his first cultivation of the Vajra Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>",1516,"2026-06-16T12:13:30.304Z","2026-06-16T12:23:14.066Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","46bfc15704314c0515d4f609c1fd6bf8cbf97e2af3189753e314d3362ba9bc51","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-40","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-38",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
