Chapter 628: Ruthless Hand Destroys the Flower, Leaving Only Emptiness

What, just one round?

Zhu Qinghua blinked her eyes; the scene before her remained unchanged, and what she had just seen was real.

'Village Chief Zhou' killed a Disciple who was a Strong Martial Artist in a single round—a young woman who was also a high-level martial master; what terrifying strength this was!

Yet he was clearly also a high-level martial master, so how could he possess such overwhelming power?

An ordinary, half-abandoned village actually hid such a terrifying figure; not simple, not simple at all.

The young woman's companions, a group of women, saw their companion die a miserable death and exploded like wild cats with their fur standing on end.

"You killed Xiao Qi, you killed Xiao Qi, don't think you can just die and be done with it."

"Big Sister, hurry and take him down, avenge Xiao Qi."

"You're finished. Xiao Qi was the Master's new favorite; she hadn't been tasted enough yet. Now that she's dead, who will take her place?"

Heh, this master-disciple relationship is chaotic enough; teaching boxing and also sleeping together! Just based on this messy relationship, the master of this group of women is no decent Strong Martial Artist either.

Zhou You shook his wrists. Under the vibration of his powerful Qi and blood, the filth attached to his skin surface was flicked away as if washed by water, leaving him smooth and clean.

The half-corpse under his feet was enough to prove how formidable his lethality was.

Do not be deceived by the young woman's seemingly delicate appearance; she was actually a high-level martial master. Her flesh and blood, which combined hardness and softness, should have been enough to withstand a considerable scale of impact, yet she was shattered by Zhou You in a single encounter.

This meant that the impact force of Zhou You's palm was at least on the scale of ten tons.

"Zhu Qinghua, is this the savior you invited?"

The one the women called Big Sister, who was also the most mature woman, frowned and looked at Zhou You twice, "How should I address you?"

Before Zhou You could answer, one woman spoke up, "I remember now, this person is Zhou You from the Daqian Martial Arts Hall in Fucheng, a high-level martial master. He once listened to the Monarch's Instruction and received the protection of the Strong Martial Artist Yin Sanfen."

Once these words were spoken, the women were in an uproar; who could have imagined that such a figure was actually hiding in a desolate village.

"And so what?"

Big Sister said firmly, "What we have done this time is already intolerable to the righteous path; once discovered, there will be nothing left of us."

"Zhou You, consider yourself unlucky. Since Zhu Qinghua is here today, you are also within the scope of those to be silenced."

She gave an order, "Kill them. Regardless of whether they are living people inside or outside the village, do not leave a single one behind."

As soon as the words fell, Big Sister took a leap toward Zhou You, while the women behind her began to fight around Zhu Qinghua.

Her speed was extremely fast. With a wave of her hand, a palm wind rose from the flat ground, spiraling rapidly, both fast and fierce.

Zhou You calmly used a Hu Zhua to separate it, blocking the palm wind and tearing it to both sides, then suddenly kicked out from the center. It was tricky and vicious, aiming straight for the space between his eyebrows.

Ding-dang, the toe collided with the forehead, sparks flying everywhere.

Big Sister retreated two steps, feeling her big toe go numb, and untied a long whip from her waist.

She was using a weapon.

Swish, swish, swish, the long whip tore through the air like a thick, giant python, raising its head in a vicious, biting posture.

A long spear pierced through the black clouds and flew out suddenly, striking the vital seven-inch point of the long whip.

Big Sister's web between her thumb and index finger, wrist, and arm went numb from the massive force. The long whip slipped from her hand, her heart and gallbladder split with terror, and she stumbled backward.

The gap was too large; she didn't even have the chance to fight for a few rounds. Defeated in one strike, collapsing in a thousand miles.

Relying on her instinctual premonition of danger, she suddenly performed the 'Bone-Winding Softness' movement technique. This was originally a bedroom art used to please the master, and she had not expected it to save her life at a critical moment.

Swish, the sharp, air-piercing spear grazed her back. The long whip could not withstand it and broke into seven or eight pieces upon hitting the ground.

The sound of the air being pierced traveled far, like an arrow released from a bow, landing in the crowd surrounding Zhu Qinghua, followed immediately by a scream.

Another woman lost her life; unable to dodge in time, she was struck by the spear that Big Sister had avoided, her beauty fading and her life ending.

"You, you... how can you even hit a woman?"

A woman, both terrified and aggrieved, accused him indiscriminately.

Heh!

Zhou You's arm swelled tenfold, and he reached out to grab the spear handle, flying forward in a flash. He saw Zhu Qinghua in the midst of the siege, unhurriedly using her boxing technique to keep her surroundings airtight.

That's right, this defensive boxing technique of the aristocratic daughter had a flavor somewhat similar to the Glazed Longevity Fist within his Zhou Family Fist.

This made Zhou You even more certain that the life-saving boxing techniques of aristocratic families all had some similarities.

"Ah!"

Another scream rang out.

A woman attempted to circle behind Zhou You to launch a sneak attack, but she did not expect that there were no blind spots around Zhou You. He thrust the long spear out from under his armpit with a backhand, piercing her straight through the heart.

Just as Zhou You shook the spear tip, attempting to fling the corpse away, a sudden change occurred...

"Good sister, thanks to you for sacrificing your life!"

Big Sister suddenly spoke, her slender fingers crossed, chanting words as she pointed at the woman's gradually cooling corpse.

The next moment, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, its entire face turning an eerie iron-blue.

'She' suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mass of viscous liquid, which landed right on Zhou You.

In the one-by-one, no-mistake version!

Zhou You reacted extremely quickly, flicking the long spear to knock the large mass of liquid away, but a few stray drops still landed on the corner of his clothes.

He immediately acted as fast as lightning, tearing off that corner of his clothes, but he was still a step too slow.

"Poisoned!"

Zhou You's heart skipped a beat; this was a sign of potent poison seeping into his blood and affecting his body's blood circulation.

His avatar occupied the Wanli Zhaohai and was well-versed in all kinds of potent poisons, making his main body a master of toxicology as well. He saw through the opponent's 'Borrowing Corpse to Return Soul' method at a glance; what she had unleashed was a type of Corpse Poison.

All poisons in the world are cultivated before use; the poison of plants is like this, the poison of snakes and insects is like this, and even the poison of minerals is like this.

Corpse Poison, as the name suggests, is a potent poison cultivated within a corpse, belonging to one of the decay poisons.

This poison spreads through corpse Qi and is especially fierce when it encounters flesh and blood. Once struck, one's limbs go numb, the heartbeat stops suddenly, and one cannot even save oneself.

"Big Sister did well! He killed several of our sisters, he must pay the price!"

"Oh no!"

Zhu Qinghua's heart turned ice-cold; her Meng Hu Quan could be immune to the Hundred Poisons, but it could only save herself, not others.

Village Chief Zhou was poisoned and would find it hard to escape death.

Several women holding sharp blades and weapons surrounded Zhou You, moving forward to hack off his limbs and turn him into a human torso.

Suddenly...

"Roar, squawk!"

Dust suddenly rolled up from the flat ground, and a fierce tiger and a crane sprang out.

The several women who were taking advantage of the chaos were simultaneously besieged by the fierce tiger and the crane; one claw smashed a waist, one beak pierced a skull, and in an instant, there were heavy casualties.

"You're alright?"

When the eldest sister reacted, her companions were dead all over the ground, leaving only her as a lone survivor.

Zhou You swallowed the air current, the moisture in the air condensed into water droplets, flowed into his esophagus, and under the effect of 'Poison Self-Dissolving', turned into a medicine to cure the Corpse Poison.

With each breath, the deadly poison inside his body was swept away completely.

"Mere Corpse Poison, what can it do to me?"

After Zhou You answered, he sent a spear into the eldest sister's abdomen, which lacked an ounce of fat, and the blood-red spear tip protruded from her back.

He killed when he had to kill, without a single word of nonsense.

Before the eldest sister died, a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she mouthed a shape, as if saying, "I'll be waiting for you."
