I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 41 I'm Going to Kill a Grandmaster (5000-word long chapter)
"Jiang He, my Benlei Martial Arts School has no grudge against you, so why did you hurt my disciples?"

Xiang Rongshan shouted sharply!
His aura intensified!

He has already suppressed himself a lot.

At least he concealed the murderous intent he harbored towards Jiang He very well!
If the Star Warriors weren't all there, Xiang Rongshan would probably have already made his move, captured Jiang He, and sent him to the Divine General in Ningdong Town... That would have been a great achievement!
"No injustice or enmity?"

Jiang He, who had been nonchalant, became furious upon hearing this, raising his voice several decibels as he angrily demanded, "What do you mean by 'no grudge'?"

"I sneaked out for a late-night snack, and just because I turned down a girl who wanted to mooch off my barbecue, your martial arts school disciples mocked me for being ungentlemanly!"

"I'm preparing a farewell meal for my three older brothers at the hospital."

"Your disciples from Benlei Martial Arts School brought the media here and tried every means to obstruct us!"

"I beat them up; they asked for it!"

"They were injured because they were not skilled enough; it's because your Benlei Martial Arts School didn't teach them well."

"........."

Standing to the side, Wu Xingchen touched his bald head, his mouth agape, and he exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap!"

This river...

Is he really sick?
His eloquence left even himself speechless!
Let's look at Xiang Rongshan again.

This senior disciple of the Benlei Martial Arts School, who usually held a high position and was the personal disciple of a martial arts master, now had his face flushed as red as a pig's liver. His eyes were almost spitting fire as he stared intently at Jiang He, gritting his teeth as he said, "You..."

"What are you?"

Jiang He was so angry that his whole body felt cold, his fists trembled, and he roared, "You Benlei Martial Arts School, have you no shame?"

"I hit your disciple, and you, the senior brother, actually chased me all the way from Wucheng to the wilderness to cause me trouble?"

"If I hit you again today... will your master come looking for trouble with me again tomorrow?"

"You beat up the young and then the old, is this the tradition of your Benlei Martial Arts School?"

boom!
Xiang Rongshan finally couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Jiang He from a distance!
At this moment, the power of the sixth-grade peak realm erupted, and the Thunderclap Palm burst forth with a thunderous roar, directly forming a large handprint of true energy in mid-air.

Jiang He's expression changed, and he raised his hand to throw a punch!
However, his punch was no match for Xiang Rongshan's palm strike.

boom!
Jiang He was sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing into the ruins of a building on the roadside.

Xiang Rongshan glanced at Wu Xingchen, suppressed his urge to kill Jiang He, withdrew his hand, and said coldly, "What use are sharp teeth and fangs at such a young age? We martial artists cultivate our skills in fists, feet, and weapons, not in our verbal skills!"

"I'm just giving you a little lesson today. If it happens again, I'll cripple you!"

Say it.

Xiang Rongshan climbed into the SUV and honked the horn twice.

The members of the Star Warriors team quickly dragged a ferocious beast corpse aside to clear a path.

The black SUV roared off and sped away!

inside the car.

Xiang Rongshan's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and the killing intent emanating from him grew even colder!
"pity!"

“The Star Warrior Squad is present. Given the habits of warrior squads, there must be someone left behind at the stronghold... Moreover, I cannot be sure whether there are other warrior squads inside the ruined city!”

"Otherwise, I will go on a killing spree today and slaughter them all!"

Xiang Rongshan was very cautious.

On the surface, the conflict between their Benlei Martial Arts School and Jianghe is nothing.

He also knows a lot about the background of the river.

If he were to actually kill Jiang He today, once the news got out, someone would definitely investigate. If they discovered some of his and his master's secrets, he would truly be doomed!
Jiang He must be killed.

But you absolutely cannot kill someone using your status as the "top disciple of the Benlei Martial Arts School"!

I watched the black SUV drive away.

Wu Xingchen rushed to the pile of building ruins and asked with concern, "Mr. Jiang, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Jiang He unleashed his power, shaking away the debris around him, and emerged from the ruins, covered in dust and looking disheveled.

puff!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling a burning pain in his internal organs.

Obviously.

Xiang Rongshan's palm strike just now injured Jiang He's internal organs!

Jiang He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice, "As expected of a peak sixth-grade martial artist, a casual palm strike has the explosive power of tens of thousands of pounds. Impressive, impressive!"

Wu Xingchen saw Jiang He staring at the direction the SUV had left, his eyes filled with anger.

He quickly advised, "Jiang He, there's no need for us to continue arguing with Benlei Martial Arts School. Xiang Rongshan is a prominent figure in Wucheng. He slapped you, so this matter is considered settled... In the future, if you see anyone from Benlei Martial Arts School, just avoid them."

As the old saying goes, "A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid."

"Take a step back, and the world will be a better place."

Jiang He remained silent.

His expression, however, became even more somber.

Take a step back...

The sea and the sky are vast?

Jiang He understood this principle, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became... Recalling the murderous intent Xiang Rongshan had shown him earlier, and the sense of familiarity he felt towards Xiang Rongshan, his mind began to shift—

"perhaps……"

"The person from Benlei Martial Arts School that I met before the accident was Xiang Rongshan!"

"If he really did use the evil poison... then he must be a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect... If that's the case, this matter is definitely not over yet, because the Star Warriors team was present, which is why he didn't kill them."

"Things might change once we get back to Wucheng."

"They might sneak back in the dark and come to the wilderness to kill me..."

"They might also notify the Heavenly Demon Sect and have them take action!"

Jiang He's face grew even more somber!
the other side.

The Star Warriors team quickly finished collecting the materials from the ferocious beast.

Wu Xingchen handed over a list showing the price of materials for each ferocious beast.

"Mr. Jiang, these prices are based on the prices set by the Martial Arts Administration's Beast Material Acquisition Department. These prices are transparent, and you can check them on the Martial Arts Administration's official website."

Jiang He took the list and glanced at it.

The material value of first-grade and second-grade ferocious beasts ranges from 1 to 10, and the value varies greatly depending on the type of beast.

The price of materials from third-grade ferocious beasts is a bit higher.

Most of them cost over 10.

Moreover, the price difference between different types of Grade 3 ferocious beast materials is even greater.

For example, materials from common feline and canine ferocious beasts are cheaper, while materials from pythons and other ferocious beasts are more valuable.

A fourth-rank ferocious beast.

The materials are of higher value.

For example, the total value of a fourth-grade python-like ferocious beast that Jiang He hunted reached 180 million.

The other fourth-rank canine beast was only worth 55 in materials.

Wu Xingchen then took out another list and said, "This is a list of materials from the ferocious beasts that Mr. Jiang killed in the city. I have tallied it up, and the total value of these materials is around 21 million. According to our agreement, our Xingchen Martial Artist Team will take 10% of the difference."

2100 million.

The price difference is reduced by 1%.

Approximately 1900 million.

Having just been beaten and injured, Jiang He felt much better and said, "Okay, I'll give you my account number, you can transfer the money to my card."

Wu Xingchen gave Jiang He's account to one of his martial artists and instructed him, "Contact the finance department and have them transfer the money... Also, take Lin Mo and Ma Liang and transport these materials back to Wu City first."

They've all returned to the city of ruins.

Wu Xingchen planned to return to the base for a short rest.

Jiang He then said, "I won't go. It's still early. I'll go kill a few more ferocious beasts..."

1900 million is still a bit short of buying the first level of "Great Sage Fist".

“We can kill the ferocious beast slowly. Mr. Jiang is injured, so why don’t you go back and recover first?”

"no need."

Jiang He laughed and said, "Those of us who cultivate our bodies are quite resilient. This little injury will heal on its own."

He wasn't lying when he said that.

Xiang Rongshan's palm strike was, after all, only delivered from a distance... its power was limited.

The burning pain in Jiang He's internal organs had lessened considerably. Carrying his battle sword, he re-entered the wilderness, and soon encountered a third-grade canine beast.

Knife up and down.

The dog's head hit the ground.

"Ding!"

"You have killed a ferocious beast. Strength increased by 30kg."

As the system notification sounded in his mind, Jiang He felt...

My internal injuries seem to have healed quite a bit.

"what……"

"Could it be that the increase in strength also has the effect of aiding in healing?"

Jiang He sprinkled the blood of the canine beast around him, which soon attracted three more beasts, two of which were of the second rank and one of the first rank.

"Ding!"

"You have killed a ferocious beast. Strength +20."

"Ding……"

Feeling the increase in power, Jiang He felt that his physique and blood were becoming stronger and stronger, and the internal injuries that Xiang Rongshan had caused him had been completely healed.

Jiang He found a seat and, on a whim, opened the system properties panel.

Name: Jiang He

Age: 20 years old Occupation: Mentally ill patient

Strength: 10050kg

"I sneaked out of the hospital at 4 a.m.... It's already past 2 p.m., and my strength has only increased by a little over a ton. It seems that my third, fourth, and fifth brothers really didn't lie to me."

Looking at the 10 tons of strength in the [Strength] section of the system attribute panel.

Jiang He couldn't help but sigh, "Body tempering... is truly difficult!"

Others might think Jiang He is showing off when they hear this.

But that was indeed how Jiang He felt inside...

Let's not even talk about how many ferocious beasts you killed today or how much blood you stained your body... Just the fact that you have to take every meal and every medicine on time, and then exercise after eating, really tests a person's patience and perseverance!

Without perseverance, how could you possibly take your medicine, eat your meals, and exercise on time every day?
"correct."

"It's time to take the Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pill..."

Jiang He took out a medicine bottle and showed off three pills of Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pill.

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Jiang He perked up and couldn't help but say, "Let's try a little harder... and try to reach dinner time so I can gain another half ton of strength."

"After dinner, we can hunt ferocious beasts all night long!"

Anyway, sleeping doesn't increase strength.

Then what's the point of sleeping?

Picking up his sword, Jiang He prepared to continue his search for the ferocious beast.

Just then, my phone rang.

Upon picking it up, I realized it was from Yun Yanchen.

"Satellite phones are so convenient..."

With a muttered sound, Jiang He answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Yun Yanchen's voice came through, saying, "Jiang He, where are you? I can't get through to your phone, and you're not at the hospital either."

Jiang He said, "I came out to run some errands, and my phone had no signal at the time... What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Something has happened!

Yun Yanchen said, "I found out that Fang Tailai, the master of Benlei Martial Arts School, seems to be injured... They are saying that Fang Tailai made a mistake while practicing his skills, which caused damage to his meridians, so he needs to go into seclusion to heal his injuries."

Jiang He blinked and said, "It's inevitable for martial artists to get injured during their training... Isn't that normal?"

"It's not normal, of course it's not normal!"

Yun Yanchen lowered her voice on the phone and said mysteriously, "Jiang He, do you know... a big thing has happened in Wucheng these past few days!"

Jiang He asked curiously, "What important matter?"

"I heard about this from my master!"

"Zhang Heng, the Fiery Swordsman, Li Wei, the Breaking Bad Master, and Wang Mian, the Silent Blade Master, who disappeared 20 years ago, are hiding in our Wu City."

cut!
Jiang He remained silent for a moment.

I thought it was something serious.

Yun Yanchen continued, "These three seniors were already renowned masters in Western Xia twenty years ago. As soon as news of their emergence spread, it attracted a lot of attention..."

"Just the day before yesterday, these three seniors were ambushed by the Heavenly Demon Sect in the wilderness area when they went to the base city!"

"what?"

Jiang He's voice rose a few decibels as he asked worriedly, "Are they... alright?"

"Of course!"

Yun Yanchen said, "Who are these three seniors? How did something happen to them? I heard that Zhang Heng, the Fiery Sword, broke through in battle and repelled the ambush of the Heavenly Demon Sect single-handedly."

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.

He was even more puzzled and said, "But what... does this have to do with Fang Tailai?"

"Because besides the four guardian generals of the Heavenly Demon Sect, there was also a mysterious grandmaster who ambushed the Fiery Sword, the Deadly Poison Master, and the Silent Blade Master... They just finished the ambush the night before last, and today news came that Fang Tailai had suffered a setback in his cultivation and was injured. Do you think there's a connection?"

"You mean... that was done by Fang Tailai in conjunction with the four guardian deities of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Jiang He frowned and asked doubtfully, "But if that's the case, why would Fang Tailai still spread the news of his injury? Wouldn't that be admitting his own injury?"

"how is this possible?"

Yun Yanchen said, "I suspected Benlei Martial Arts School first, and that's why I thought Fang Tailai was that mysterious grandmaster... Others probably wouldn't have thought of that at all."

There was a pause.

Yun Yanchen added, "I also found out that Xiang Rongshan, the eldest disciple of Benlei Martial Arts School, left Wucheng today... I strongly suspect that he went to the wilderness area to meet with those cultists of the Heavenly Demon Sect, perhaps to ask for medicine for his master."

"pity……"

"These are all my guesses."

"If I have any evidence, I'll go to the Martial Arts Administration Bureau right now and report Benlei Martial Arts School!"

Listening to Yun Yanchen's sighs.

Jiang He's heart stirred...

Perhaps Yun Yanchen's guess is true!
Otherwise, why would Xiang Rongshan go to Ningdong Town for no reason?
Hunting ferocious beasts?

If he really hunted a ferocious beast, he couldn't possibly be completely clean... Besides, if he really hunted a ferocious beast, why would he go back after traveling so far and not even spending half a day in the wilderness?
Jiang He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know where Fang Tailai is recuperating?"

Yun Yanchen said, "It should be at Benlei Martial Arts School... Fang Tailai never married and never owned any property. He usually ate and lived at the martial arts school... Why are you asking about this?"

Jiang He said, "It's nothing... I was just asking. By the way, you shouldn't continue investigating this matter. Be careful not to alert them. If Fang Tailai and Xiang Rongshan find out, it might be bad for you."

hang up the phone.

Jiang He, however, was somewhat agitated.

For a moment, he lost interest in continuing to hunt ferocious beasts.

Since it was too much trouble to carry the corpses back after killing only four ferocious beasts, Jiang He simply collected the beast materials himself.

Back in the abandoned building.

Jiang He sat by the window on the 5th floor and silently took out two porcelain bottles, one black and one white, from his backpack.

Li Si's instructions echoed in my mind—

"Jiang He, this white porcelain bottle contains a specially prepared [enhanced version of the Bone-Softening Powder] by your fourth brother. This medicine is colorless and odorless; even a martial arts grandmaster would have his combat power reduced by 50% if he were to be affected!"

"The black porcelain bottle contains a bone-corroding and heart-piercing liquid. This medicine is best used by applying it to weapons. If a poisoned person comes into contact with even a small amount, their flesh will rot to the bone within 12 hours, and after 24 hours, the poison will attack their heart, and there will be no cure!"

He drew his S-class alloy battle sword.

Jiang He carefully dripped the bone-corroding and heart-piercing liquid onto the blade and then used a chicken feather to spread it evenly.

Thoughts raced through his mind...

"A martial arts grandmaster, having comprehended the unity of heaven and man, can unleash a force of a million jin with a casual strike... Even with the [enhanced version of the bone-softening powder], I am no match for him!"

"But Fang Tailai is injured now!"

"His injuries must be quite serious... otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk, sending Xiang Rongshan to fetch medicine!"

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him!"

"Moreover, Xiang Rongshan knows I'm in the wilderness, so he might send people to cause me trouble or kill me... Rather than waiting to die, I might as well take the initiative and fight!"

"Give it a try!"

"Let's see if we can kill a martial arts grandmaster!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang He's eyes!

And the grudge against Xiang Rongshan for that slap... must also be avenged!
He got up and walked outside.

When passing by the Star Warriors' stronghold, they found Wu Xingchen and his men grilling meat.

and.

They also brought beer.

Wu Xingchen called out, "Mr. Jiang, come... have something to eat together?"

Jiang He didn't say anything, but turned around and went back to his room, carrying the remaining half of the rooster over, saying, "This is delicious, roast this."

"This is a five-colored golden rooster!"

Wu Xingchen laughed and said, "Although this thing is a first-grade ferocious beast, its meat is so delicious that it's more valuable than a regular third-grade ferocious beast... What are you waiting for? Mr. Jiang said to hurry up and butcher it and start roasting it!"

He handed me a bottle of beer.

It's still chilled.

"I like to drink, and in order to be able to have an ice-cold drink in the wilderness, I specially spent 300 million to buy the Frost Palm and practiced it for a long time before I succeeded."

Jiang He took the chilled beer, opened the cap and took two sips, then put the bottle on the ground and said, "Captain Wu, leave the rest of the beer for me... I have some errands to run, I'll drink it when I get back!"

Say it.

Turn around and leave.

Wu Xingchen asked curiously, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang He didn't even turn his head: "I'm going to kill a Grandmaster."

"........."

Inside the room, the members of the Star Warriors team were all stunned.

One of them looked in the direction where Jiang He's figure had disappeared, slapped himself hard across the face, and said, "I... I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"He said……"

"He's going to kill a grandmaster?"

Someone said, "You heard me right, but I think Jiang He might be having a relapse and talking nonsense!"

This statement came out.

This caused a burst of laughter.

PS: Writing a 5000-word chapter is so satisfying! It's a pity that during the new book period, I have to be careful with word count and wait for recommendations. If it were released, I can't even imagine how explosive my writing would be!
