If one failed to shake off his offensive from the very beginning, a defeat was almost a foregone conclusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Yu Hu was not in the slightest hurry; he waited for the moment Hao Yi would be crushed by the chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged another thirty-plus moves when Hao Yi suddenly switched from defense to offense, shaking away Yu Hu's arm with one palm and striking toward his lower abdomen with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally couldn't hold back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu retreated calmly, intending to dodge this strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the moment he retreated, a strong sense of irritation suddenly erupted from within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like dry wood meeting a raging fire; Yu Hu felt as if he had been ignited from the inside out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He widened his eyes abruptly, his body stiffening:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been hit? When did this happen?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Slap*—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi’s palm struck Yu Hu’s lower abdomen, the scorching palm force instantly burning a large hole through the level-four protective suit under Yu Hu’s clothes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Yu Hu was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through the outer pillars of fire and slamming heavily into the ground, shattering the stone slabs and creating a large crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene left everyone present stunned, unable to react for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't it said that Hao Yi’s martial foundation had been severely damaged? How was it that the person sent flying in the end was Yu Hu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu quickly stood up from the crater, and before he could even steady himself, he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the people of the Tiger Blade Gang could no longer sit still; the gunmen in the rear ran toward this side one after another, and the martial artists and martial masters on the rooftops on both sides also drew their weapons and rushed toward Yu Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu raised a hand, signaling everyone in the Tiger Blade Gang to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Foundation realm powerhouses have extraordinarily strong vitality and are not so easily killed. Although he was injured, self-preservation was still not a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the unscathed Hao Yi not far away and asked with a gloomy expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the Heaven and Earth Furnace Force?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palm force silently sneaks into the opponent's body, and after accumulating to a certain degree, it suddenly detonates like a volcanic eruption; this is the characteristic of the high-tier force, the Heaven and Earth Furnace Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu thought that the longer the time dragged on, the more of an advantage he had, not knowing that the advantage had actually been on Hao Yi’s side all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a 'Heaven as the furnace, creation as the craft'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu finally knew what kind of Dao Foundation the other party had built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Heaven as the furnace, creation as the craft. Melt steel into liquid, refine steel into a core'—this is the description of the Dao Foundation [Steel Core].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend has it that after successfully cultivating the Dao Foundation [Steel Core], one can possess the divine ability to refine all things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a martial foundation with a cultivation difficulty even higher than Yu Hu’s [Cold River Snow].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you have a severely damaged martial foundation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu asked unwillingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not understand how someone with a severely damaged martial foundation could still use high-tier force so exquisitely, to the point where he hadn't even noticed it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was indeed damaged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi looked at Yu Hu and said faintly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for beating someone like you, it is more than enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Yu Hu’s expression changed, and he stared fixedly at Hao Yi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hao is indeed formidable; I have lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly admitted his defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that is the case, the Tiger Blade Gang has offended you greatly today, so I will not disturb you further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Yu Hu made a gesture, signaling the people of the Tiger Blade Gang to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly had the mindset of an overlord; he could take it and let it go, quickly accepting reality and adjusting his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while he wanted to leave, Hao Yi did not intend to let him off just like that:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving just like this, isn't that a bit too easy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu’s body stiffened, and he lowered his raised right hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else does Mr. Hao want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was calm, but anyone could feel the madness hidden beneath that calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continued to press, no one knew what this tiger would do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hao Yi ignored Yu Hu and instead turned to look at Li Lei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Li, these people are in illegal possession of firearms and participated in a large-scale brawl; how should this be handled?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei was startled, and just as he was about to speak, the silent Wu Yihua spoke first:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my opinion, these people just picked up the firearms on the road and have not yet formally participated in the brawl; we just need to have the picked-up firearms handed over to the Inspectorate to handle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His men had just run over to tell him that the Third Brigade led by Qian Hengjun had already arrived nearby, which gave him the confidence to speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Li Lei with a stern gaze and said in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quit while you're ahead. If you continue to press, Xingcheng might really erupt into civil unrest today, and by then, all the citizens of the city will be dragged into it. Is that what you want to see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original intention was to stop the Tiger Blade Gang and the Chief's faction from continuing their firefight. If he continued to press Yu Hu, it would indeed likely trigger a larger-scale firefight, which was not what he wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wanted to arrest all of Yu Hu and his men and bring them back to the Inspectorate to be convicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew this was impossible, and Yu Hu’s words surfaced in his mind again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The law is power; do you have enough power to uphold your law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least for now, Li Lei did not have that power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Lei’s silence, Wu Yihua immediately turned to look at Yu Hu in the distance and said loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader Yu, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu was silent for a moment, took a deep look at Hao Yi, and said slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is indeed the case; my men just picked up these firearms on the road and did not participate in the brawl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he turned to the hundreds of Tiger Blade Gang gunmen behind him and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, throw your guns on the ground!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone threw their guns away, Yu Hu returned to his 'Qilin' bulletproof car and left by vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of the Tiger Blade Gang also left with their leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had arrived with great momentum, but they looked very wretched when they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In today's battle, the Tiger Blade Gang first lost a Private Secretary and a batch of elites, then their leader Yu Hu was defeated, and finally, they lost hundreds of guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be called a heavy loss; they had lost both face and substance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle, everyone knew that the days of the Tiger Blade Gang being at the height of their power in Xingcheng were gone forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Withdraw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Tiger Blade Gang left, Wei Ge also ordered the City Guard to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Ge’s body trembled, and he turned to look at Hao Yi with a wary gaze:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Mr. Hao have any instructions? Could it be that you also want to say that my City Guard illegally participated in a brawl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Guard was different from the Tiger Blade Gang; they had an official status. Even if entering the city to handle a brawl was an overreach, there was plenty of room for argument, and the Inspectorate had no authority to dispose of the City Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because Hao Yi’s strength was sufficient that Wei Ge was willing to talk rules with him; otherwise, he would have just left, and he would have cut down anyone who dared to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hao Yi did not intend to talk rules with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were the one who cut my student, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi pointed to the wound on Li Fei’s shoulder and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shape of the wound and the force remaining on it, he could determine at a glance that this was caused by Wei Ge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Ge was startled upon hearing this and turned to look at Li Fei, only then realizing that the person he had wanted to casually cut to death earlier was a student of a Dao Foundation realm powerhouse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among everyone present now, Hao Yi possessed the greatest power, so he could speak his own logic to his heart's content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his logic was something the Chen family and the Tiger Blade Gang had already experienced deeply; now it was the turn of the City Guard's Garrison Commander to experience it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The logic here is also very simple:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever touches my student, I will touch them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Ge’s expression stiffened, his previous arrogant aura completely gone, and he looked at Hao Yi cautiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a misunderstanding, I am willing to offer compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compensation is unnecessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Hao Yi spoke, he walked toward Wei Ge:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You gave my student a slash, I will return a slash to you, and we shall be even.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he made a casual gesture, and a steel saber that had fallen to the ground in the distance was drawn into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Wei Ge’s complexion changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trick Hao Yi displayed showed that he also had a [Magnetic Horn] implant, and Hao Yi had drawn the steel saber into his hand from a distance of nearly fifty meters, which was even further than Wei Ge’s maximum effective range, indicating that even just comparing the single [Magnetic Horn] implant, Hao Yi was stronger than Wei Ge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he still fight this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hao—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Ge opened his mouth, wanting to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here I come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi suddenly let out a loud shout, interrupting his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Hao Yi disappeared from where he stood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Ge immediately raised the giant blade in his hands to block in front of him, while simultaneously exploding his geomagnetic force to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud explosion, the people present didn't even see how Hao Yi had rushed in front of Wei Ge, nor how he had struck with his blade; they only saw a blur before their eyes, and then saw Wei Ge being sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground just like Yu Hu had moments before, shattering the stone slabs and creating a large crater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The various military officers of the City Guard present looked at each other in dismay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had originally thought Wei Ge could at least block one strike, after all, he was a peak Qi Transformation stage martial artist who cultivated strength, and had previously been recognized as the fifth strongest expert in Xingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they hadn't expected Wei Ge to be so vulnerable before Hao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did everyone truly feel the gap between the Dao Foundation stage and those below it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the type of implant, it would constantly strengthen a martial artist's physique during the growth process, so every time a Dao Foundation stage expert incorporated a new type of implant, their physique would receive a new round of strengthening, which was also something those below the Dao Foundation stage could not compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hao Yi attacked Wei Ge, he didn't even bother to use high-tier force; relying simply on the speed and power erupted by his body was enough to crush him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Ge lay in the crater for a while before climbing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looked at Hao Yi with a sinister gaze, and gritted his teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today’s lesson, Wei Ge will remember it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he turned and made a gesture to the City Guard:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Retreat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, only the people from the Inspection Court remained on the main street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yihua glanced at Li Lei with a gloomy look, then left with his own guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disperse, go see where help is needed, and help save people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei ordered the inspectors of the First Battalion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firefight between the City Guard and the Tiger Blade Gang had caused many civilians to be accidentally wounded by gunfire, and many might not have time to be sent to the hospital; by having the inspectors go everywhere to save people now, he hoped to minimize casualties as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the team members dispersed, Li Lei took Li Fei and walked toward Hao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, thanks to Mr. Hao’s intervention, I thank you on behalf of the people of Wuguang District!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei bowed to Hao Yi, but was stopped by him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to thank me; if you hadn't dared to stand out and confront both sides, I alone could not have done anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that the Great Leader of the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold was once surrounded and killed by experts from the Stop-War Court here. Does Captain Li know the final outcome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei shook his head: \"I came in a hurry and haven't had time to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei, who was to the side, interjected: \"I heard people say that the Great Leader of the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold left safely in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hao Yi was visibly relieved and looked at Li Lei: \"Does Captain Li still need help here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei shook his head: \"No more, I wouldn't dare trouble Mr. Hao further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi: \"Good, then I will return to the Martial Lecture Hall first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I will go back with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi turned and left very decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei hurriedly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, do you know that Great Leader of the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Li Fei suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".She is your martial aunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi ultimately chose to tell Li Fei about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous student did not know about this, because he worried that if the other party knew there was such a martial aunt, their behavior would become arrogant and overbearing. But in his heart, Li Fei was an honest and dutiful good child who possessed righteousness and did not like to cause trouble, so he did not hide this matter from Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is actually Teacher’s junior martial sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said in an exaggerated tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just know this, don't spread it around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher and student talked all the way back to the Martial Lecture Hall, a scene witnessed by many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, many people actually didn't know there was such a figure as Hao Yi in Xingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after today, the name Hao Yi would surely shake Xingcheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, the Green-Faced Ghost who single-handedly slaughtered through the Tiger Blade Gang’s convoy today and killed the Tiger Blade Gang’s private secretary would also shock Xingcheng once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, the teacher and student simultaneously became the focus of Xingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeking monthly votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2954,"2026-06-25T10:09:32.527Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1e15071c3f0d6f30a7690da902506b72c3d3a0805f7fb02077f58aab9164d71f","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-164","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-162",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
