Chapter 131 The crisis is approaching
Gongliang City, the secret base of the city gate guards.

"boom!"

A huge hammer emitting a faint gray gas fell from mid-air, shaking all around.

The figure jumped up like a bird and threw punches as fast as lightning. Boom, boom, boom, the surface of the gray air began to ripple and spread.

The sound of the collision was heard from far away, but it was surprisingly quiet all around.

The gray gas, called Bingsha, is the unique skill of the Thousand Troops Breaking the Evil Fist.

This thing attaches to a physical object, increasing its destructive power and lethality, and even a magical object cannot resist it.

The level of power exuded by the owner of the figure when he attacked showed that he was a master of strength.

Relying on his superb boxing skills, he moved flexibly and attacked around the sledgehammer.

Whenever the soldiers forced him into a desperate situation, he would suddenly burst out with an amazing skill and immediately turn the situation around.

Suddenly, the sledgehammer accelerated and the weapon became as sharp as a knife.

The figure took a deep breath, and his torso and limbs bulged, emitting a bronze glow.

"Thousands of scales facing the sun and thousands of pockets of sun."

Swish, golden light like running water condensed and took shape on the body surface, and in the blink of an eye, he was covered with a layer of golden helmet and golden armor.

The sledgehammer wrapped in a military curse hit his body.

The figure staggered forward a few steps, stood firm without falling, and the remaining sound of his chest echoed.

The golden light and the gray gas entangled and mixed with each other, and after a moment they were annihilated and dissipated at the same time.

A lone figure walked over from the corner of the empty space, with his hands behind his back, and had been standing nearby watching.

"Master Yu, the Bingsha Hammer Strike is the secret of my city gate guards to break through their Qi and blood."

"You've only been in contact for half a month, but you've already vaguely felt signs of a breakthrough. You have good aptitude."

The person who spoke was Captain Ye, one of the eight ghost-catching captains in Gongliang City.

The figure panting on the spot was also Zhou You’s old acquaintance, Zhang Shiyu.

The former apprentice of Da Zhuang Quan took a few deep breaths, evened out his breathing, and then clasped his fists.

"Foster father, I have a feeling that I will be able to break through the Qi and Blood before the end of the year."

There was also a red mark on his chest, the result of the impact from the sledgehammer.

The hard skill 'Thousand Scales Facing the Sun and Ten Thousand Helmets' is the core secret method of the Thousand Troops Breaking Evil Fist, and its power is even greater than that of a general taking off his armor and putting on his full armor.

The latter is the practice of ordinary city gate guards, while the former is accessible only to elite captains.

Zhang Shiyu, with his mastery of strength, was able to withstand the impact of the soldiers by driving this hard skill.

If you break through the Qi and blood, your defense will double, and not even a red mark will be left on your chest.

Captain Ye nodded with satisfaction. He had no children, so he carefully cultivated this adopted son and wanted to treat him as his heir.

"Shi Yu, you are the gatekeeper of my city. You should put the country first and kill the demons to protect the world."

Zhang Shiyu nodded silently and pondered for a moment.

"Foster father, I still have something on my mind that I haven't resolved. If I can't resolve it, I won't have the confidence to break through my Qi and blood in one go."

"Oh?"

Zhang Shiyu said slowly, "I have never been defeated in my life, except for the time I lost at Jianxiong Martial Arts School. The opponent was an unknown apprentice under Wang Lao Hu. This was a great shame and humiliation."

"The Winged Tiger Zhou You, he has made a name for himself now, he is no ordinary person."

Captain Ye also knew that his old rival Captain Chang wanted to recruit this person.

"Please help me, foster father!"

"If I don't get rid of this knot in my heart, it will be hard to calm down and break through my Qi and blood."

Zhang Shiyu crossed his hands, prostrated himself on the ground, and showed a firm attitude.

Captain Ye thought for a moment and quickly made a decision, "It's up to you."

"

Jianxiong Martial Arts School, the eighth martial arts training ground.

Zhou You performed the Subduing Tiger Fist move by move from the beginning. His skin and meridians trembled slightly as he felt the subtle flow of strength.

Strength is the foundation of Qi and blood. It cannot be broken through without being proficient. However, if it is too proficient, it will become a shackle. Just like Xu Ying, who practiced hard for ten years but still stopped at the threshold.

Destruction precedes construction; without destruction there is no construction.

The eight words Shen Sijing gave him were wise words, each one of them a gem.

Zhou You was fully prepared and realized that to get back to basics, he had to go back to the most basic Fu Hu Quan routine.

A black tiger digs out its heart, a fierce tiger descends from the mountain, a hungry tiger pounces on its food...

The limbs and torso are sometimes stretched and sometimes tensed, and every inch of the muscles, bones, skin and flesh are developed to the extreme.

The faint roar of a tiger lingered in Zhou You's ears, and the sound penetrated his heart.

Soon, soon.

It has been a month or two since Xu Ying left the martial arts school, and his work at the trading company has officially gotten on track.

Caravans transporting goods are of vital importance, just like the aortas that transport blood, they must be running at all times and cannot be interrupted for a single day.

As external dangers increase day by day, transportation costs increase sharply.

The previous model of hiring warriors from outside no longer works. When encountering danger, the first reaction of hired warriors is to protect themselves. They would rather abandon the caravan's goods than take risks.

Only the shop assistants, whose lives and fortunes depend on the success or failure of the shop, are willing to risk their lives to protect the goods.

However, ordinary guys have limited strength, and often suffer heavy casualties when encountering evil spirits or bandits.

Xu Ying’s joining greatly increased the caravan’s self-defense capabilities.

He relied on Wu Yanyi's secret method to break through his qi and blood, and because he had made advance preparations, the sequelae were greatly weakened.

Under the protection of Qi and Blood Level 1, the dangers encountered by the caravan outside were offset by 70% to 80%.

In the past one or two months, the number of caravans that Shen's Trading Company has successfully sent out to recover has increased several times compared to the past.

The direct impact is that profits have increased significantly and the bank’s employees have a better life.

With the current prices in the city, no matter how much goods are brought in, they can be sold out quickly, which can be said to be a source of income and wealth.

I heard from Old Man Zhou that Manager Xu's position will be promoted and he will be eligible to participate in the distribution of bonus shares.

All of this was created by Xu Ying’s desperate efforts.

According to what several apprentices said privately, Xu Ying had suffered numerous injuries in just one or two months since leaving the martial arts school.

Just three large boxes of various internal and external medicines were brought home.

He was willing to use his own life to exchange for a future of food and clothing for his family.

Zhou You asked himself, if he were in the same situation, he would make the same choice.

"Qi and blood, we must break through qi and blood."

The situation seems to be improving now, but no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Xu Ying blocked a round for him. If the situation continued to get worse, it would be his turn to travel around sooner or later.

"Zhou You, we have distinguished guests today, so we'll have more food in the kitchen at noon!"

At noon, Li Hao told Zhou You the news.

Are there guests coming? More dishes?
Zhou You felt a little strange. The distinguished guests who could go to the kitchen to order more dishes were not ordinary visitors.

At least the museum owner pays more attention to him, and he may even be of a noble status and a prominent background.

"Where did you come from?"

Li Hao shook his head. "I didn't see it. There were several city gate guards waiting at the gate with horses. Well, they should be the senior officials of the city gate guards."

"I just don't know which senior official it is."

Li Hao mentioned the city gate guards with a complicated tone.

He was originally the son of a city gate guard, but after his father died, the relationship was severed. To this day, he has no regrets about joining the city gate guard.

"Oh!"

Zhou You didn't care. The visit of the high-level city gate guards had nothing to do with him.

It is better to just focus on practicing boxing, accumulating bit by bit, and focusing on the Subduing Tiger Fist to break through the Qi and blood.
