Chapter 195: Brotherhood and Martial Arts Master
It was somewhat awkward when Zhang Huaimin appeared!
He knew about the ambush in advance, so he came to the nearby area early and lurked, but his purpose was not simple.

Many people are thinking of getting a bargain.

First there were Hua Zhuomo and his gang of villains, and then there was junior martial artist Gao Laozhuang. How could a mere Qi and Blood martial artist handle them?
He is just waiting for the moment when Zhou Youshan is at his wit's end, and then he will appear as a savior to save him from the dire situation, and he will definitely be able to defeat him.

Unexpectedly, I couldn’t find a chance to escape after looking for a long time.

Seeing Gao Laozhuang's collapse, he could no longer hide. If he didn't show up, the situation would be over.

"Ahem, my friend, how are you?"

Zhou You stared at him in silence, his body language full of vigilance, calmly digesting the secret medicine he had just taken.

Young people are quite vigilant!
From the moment he appeared, Zhou You kept taking medicine, restoring his energy and blood, and accumulating strength for counterattack.

Such behavior shows that one is very cautious!

Zhang Huaimin laughed out loud, "That's great! You have conquered Gao Village. The name of Du Yan has finally established itself in Sucheng."

He walked to the corpse of Gao Laozhuang and said leisurely, "There is just one thing you don't know. Martial artists have strong vitality and cannot be killed easily. You must be careful of fake death..."

Halfway through his words, Zhang Huaimin's expression changed, his blood and energy swirled like a vortex, and he suddenly sucked the corpse from the ground into his palm.

Gao Laozhuang opened his eyes, his eyes full of horror, it turned out that he had just faked his death.

"Zhang Huaimin, you are too rude. We are all martial artists. Why are you making things difficult for me just to curry favor with the younger generation?"

Gao Laozhuang's attempt to pretend to be dead was discovered, and he screamed wildly at the moment of death.

He had just shouted a few words when Zhang Huaimin's palm force as strong as a mountain was used to crush him into a paper-thin meat patty while he was suspended in the air.

Zhang Huaimin took off the only intact head and said, "Look, this is what it means to be completely dead."

The intermediate martial artist's attack was truly extraordinary, and he easily crushed Gao Laozhuang into a meat jerky.

"Lu Zhigang, to tell you the truth, I had bad intentions before and did want to take advantage of others' misfortune."

"But you killed Gao Laozhuang and proved your strength. I changed my mind. How about we cooperate?"

An intermediate martial artist wants to cooperate with me?
Zhou You shook his head silently, "Sorry, the master and I are too different, there is no possibility of cooperation."

"I said yes."

Zhang Huaimin's nails were as sharp as knives. He scratched Gao Laozhuang's entire face with a light stroke.

"There is a Thousand Faces Hall in the capital city, which collects wanted orders issued by all directions and exchanges them for bounties."

"The rules of the Thousand Faces Hall are peculiar. They don't need heads or live people. They only recognize this face. You can receive the reward when you meet."

"Well, the reward for Gao Laozhuang is 7 taels. Now the money belongs to you."

He handed the face to Zhou You, spread his hands and said, "Now that we have sincerity, how about we talk about cooperation?"

Zhou You gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't give the other party an explanation, he would have a hard time getting away today.

Zhang Huaimin is an intermediate martial artist, and the gap between him and me cannot be bridged no matter what.

What's more, he had fought two fierce battles in a row and had reached his limits in all aspects. If he fought again, he would definitely overdraw and damage his foundation.

"Master, it's not that I, Lu, am ungrateful, but my business is too small to be of your liking."

That's putting it mildly enough.

Zhang Huaimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm not picky. As long as I can make money, that's fine."

"Boy, the first time I saw you, I knew you were a big money maker. Let's talk about it."

In order to dispel Zhou You's vigilance, he simply said, "If you still have concerns, I can become your sworn brother."

Zhou You was stunned. This old guy was really bold!

Sworn brothers? The age difference between him and me is more than enough to be grandfather and grandson.

"Isn't this bad!"

"Very good," Zhang Huaimin said without hesitation, and pulled Zhou You to the clean ground nearby and cleared a space.

Pour loose soil into the shape of the Chinese character "山", intending to represent mountains and rivers, with the sky facing upward and the earth kneeling below.

He removed three leg bones from the corpse, ignited them by rubbing them with his blood, and stuck them in the loess as incense.

The two men bowed to heaven and earth and became sworn brothers amidst the corpses scattered all over the ground.

"I am Zhang Huaimin from Xilan City, and I am a sworn brother to Lu Zhigang."

"Lu Zhigang of Sucheng and Zhang Huaimin have become brothers of different surnames!"

"The heavens and the earth bear witness to our common destiny. Although we are not brothers, we live together as brothers and die together. We share hatred and repay kindness."

"If you break this oath, the sky will not collect you, the earth will not bury you, insects and ants will gnaw at you, and wild dogs will destroy your body."

After kowtowed three times, they became sworn brothers.

Zhou You smacked his lips and swore that the words were really poisonous, but he didn't take it seriously.

The chief of Moyun Village, the dead ghost who was divided into five parts, is also Zhang Huaimin’s sworn brother!
The old guy has a criminal record, so don't expect him to take brotherhood too seriously. If there is no benefit, brothers are no better than strangers.

"Good brother, from now on, I will protect you, and we will all get rich together."

Zhou You smiled and said, "You're in such a mess now, how can you protect me?"
Zhang Huaimin picked up Gao Laozhuang's head, exerted a little force, and covered it with high-frequency vibrations of qi and blood.

In the blink of an eye, the blood, flesh and brain matter on the human head were shattered into pieces and fell to the ground like water.

A white skull, sparkling with jade-like luster, is as exquisite as a carefully crafted work of art.

"The bronze and iron lungs of Gao Laozhuang are common, but the skulls are tempered to perfection."

"This thing is good. Go back and make a hand hammer or a boxing glove. It will be more convenient to use than your sharp sword."

Although the skull looks creepy, it is actually a rare treasure. After all, it is something that Gao Laozhuang was born with, and it has been washed by qi and blood for countless years. Its quality is far higher than those of the qi and blood items circulating on the market.

Zhou You once heard Jiang Hua mention that the corpses of martial artists were a treasure, and now it seems to be true.

Brother Cheap is so generous, he must have great demands on him.

Zhou You accepted the skull and bowed to Zhang Huaimin, saying, "Thank you, brother."

"Haha, you and I are brothers, why should we be so formal?"

Zhang Huaimin paused, then earnestly reminded him, "There is one more thing you must pay more attention to."

"Brother, please tell me."

"Among the jade and pearls you took to the Rare Treasure Pavilion to settle the account, one of them belonged to the chieftain of Moyun Village."

Zhang Huaimin smiled and said, "I have cleared the traces for you. Don't make the same mistake again."

Hearing this, Zhou You's hair stood on end. Was he found out?

"Haha, brother, you got the treasure of Moyun Village, I'm happy for you too!"

Zhou You’s heart was pounding. How was he going to cover up this flaw?
He was facing a dangerous moment, his mind worked quickly and he soon came up with an excuse.

"Brother, I happened to meet Yan Ping who was escaping. I wanted to take advantage of his injury to attack him, but I didn't expect that the reputation of the stone-opening hand was well-deserved."

"I took two blows and fractured my chest. I used my palm poison to force him to leave his belongings behind and run away."

He touched his chest and pretended to be scared, "Did you risk your life to earn those things?"

"Sure?"

Zhang Huaimin stared into Zhou You's eyes, as if trying to see through his heart.

Zhou You's eyes were clear and sincere, "Brothers should be honest with each other. I will never tell a lie."
