Chapter 271: Letter of Reward

"Snapped!"

There was a slight touching sound.

Zhou You pointed his finger at a half-broken millstone in the yard. White mist appeared and covered the surface of the stone in the blink of an eye.

A grayish-white color flashed by, and suddenly there was a dense cracking sound.

The sound of crispness was endless. The heavy millstone was frozen and cracked into a pile of gravel on the spot. The coarsest grains were only the size of a finger.

Even stones cannot withstand the sudden freezing, let alone flesh and blood.

He retracted his fingertips, a flash of cold light flickered a few times and then went out, and the coldness receded from his body.

The power of the Ice Marrow Finger was far beyond expectations. I thought that the result of hitting the target would be a layer of ice forming on the surface, and the spot would turn into a large lump of ice.

When actually deployed, its destructive power and destructive force far exceeds the phenomenon.

Everything in the world contains water. Once encountered extreme cold, it expands outwards and even forms ice spikes and icicles.

The consequence is that the target hit by the Ice Marrow Finger, whether it is an animal or a plant, will have its body riddled with holes from the ice spikes.

Even wood and stone would be frozen and cracked into powder on the spot.

Zhou You estimated that if Qi Fengxiao ate one of his fingers, he would be half dead even if he didn't die.

This finger technique is highly targeted, compact and sharp, and is the decisive blow in a fight between martial artists.

With the Ice Marrow Finger, the second alias Yan Ping can no longer be called a blank martial artist.

"No matter how powerful a boxing skill is, if you can't control its power, it's only half-baked. It's only beneficial to use it in battle."

Zhou You was somewhat wary of the Ice Marrow Finger and decided to start training by freezing animals without killing them.

According to the contents of the Five Blessings Palm Fist Record, as one's realm improves, the temperature of the Ice Marrow Finger can be adjusted.

In the following days, even in the hottest summer days, the family had a steady supply of ice, which was stored in the ground and used to chill drinks, preserve meals, etc.

When my dad was having dinner that night, he would take a sip of the cool, steaming fruit wine and feel so happy that he almost shook his thighs.

Zhou You even thought that it would be a nice idea to open an ice rink in the future, but of course this idea was just a joke.

"Ok?"

One day, a letter was delivered to his doorstep from the city, addressed to Zhou You.

Zhou You glanced at the envelope out of curiosity. The sender was Li Hao. He opened the envelope and read the contents.

"Is there such a thing?"

The content of the letter was very simple. He was being rewarded. The Qianmian Hall in the city officially offered a reward of one thousand taels.

This happened 3 days ago.

After Li Hao moved to the provincial capital, he and his mother lived in his uncle's house. The family was very welcoming and treated them as their own family without any estrangement or strangeness.

Li Hao quickly became friends with his uncle's children and became known as "Brother Hao" to them.

That day, he took his younger brother, who was a few years younger than him, out for a stroll and unknowingly arrived at Thousand Faces Hall.

"Brother Hao, all the people who come in and out of Qianmian Hall are masters. You are a Qi and Blood Warrior, so you are qualified to go in."

Shidi felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that Dad has set down family rules, strictly prohibiting us from setting foot in places like Qianmiantang."

"Uncle Shi is doing this for your own good. The Qianmian Hall is offering a bounty for killing people. No matter if the bounty is offered or the person who kills is rewarded, they are all bloodthirsty and murderous. They should not be provoked."

After Li Hao arrived in the city, with the help of his uncle, he quickly broke through the Qi and blood barrier and is now at the Qi and blood stage 1.

He knew very well that living under someone else's roof was not a long-term solution, and he secretly looked for ways to make a living. Qianmiantang was one of his plans. Of course, he would not tell his younger brother about his plan, but only advised him verbally.

The two stood at the entrance of Thousand Faces Hall, looking at the warriors coming in and out of the hall, all of whom had extraordinary auras.

Shidijia was in the capital city, and his knowledge was much broader than Li Haoguang. He recognized many famous masters and pointed them out to him one by one. "Haha, here I come again."

A burly old man strode into the Thousand Faces Hall, "Are there any new people hanging out recently?"

When the younger brother saw the old man, he introduced him in a low voice, "Zhang Huaimin, a middle-level martial artist, was a retainer who was persuaded to leave by the aristocratic family. He has made a fortune recently and is very wealthy, making friends everywhere."

Li Hao looked at the old man a few more times. He was a mid-level martial artist and a former retainer of an aristocratic family. Both of his identities were very important.

A martial artist like Zhang Huaimin is undoubtedly at the top of the countless martial artists in the city.

His strength is even stronger than his former master Wang Jianxiong.

"I heard that the source of his wealth came from his sworn brother, Poison Goose Lu Zhigang."

Hearing the name of Poison Goose Lu Zhigang, Li Hao was slightly surprised. He was an old acquaintance.

After Du Yan became famous for killing the Flower Thief, he disappeared in Gongliang City. It was not until he moved to Fucheng that people found out that the other party had actually done some big things in Fucheng and was considered to be quite famous.

Poison Goose Lu Zhigang has a sworn brother who is a mid-level martial artist. Ordinary martial artists simply can't afford to offend him!

The Qi and Blood Warriors and the novice martial artists who came to Qianmian Hall to do business were all very polite.

"Master Zhang, this morning's list hasn't come out yet. Are you here to check it out again?"

Zhang Huaimin nodded, "It's for my sworn brother. I heard that a few victims wanted to get him, so they pooled their money and put up a reward in Qianmian Hall. I want to see it first and notify him."

The others smiled awkwardly and didn't feel comfortable responding.

Lu Zhigang, the Poison Goose, killed everyone with his poisonous palm. He was cruel and bloodthirsty, and had poisoned more than one martial artist to death.

He had countless victims. If it weren't for the protection of his sworn brother Zhang Huaimin, he would have been dug out long ago.

As a few people were chatting, the list of Qianmiantang was updated!

The crowd that was originally scattered around suddenly swarmed under the list to see if there were any new people.

As we all know, bounties also have a cost-effectiveness ratio. The lower the strength and the higher the bounty, the higher the cost-effectiveness ratio.

Generally speaking, these are hot items and are snapped up immediately.

Zhang Huaimin squinted his eyes and scanned the list. He found that Lu Zhigang's name was not on the list and nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, those victims were sensible and did not offer a real reward for Zhang Huaimin's brothers.

Suddenly, he saw a new name added to the list, one of which was Gongliangcheng, with a reward of 10,000 taels. When he saw this unfamiliar name, he felt dazed and felt like he had seen it before.

Then he shook his head, it was just an illusion, he didn't know any young man in the latter stage of Qi and Blood.

"what?"

On the other side, Li Hao was immediately shocked when he saw Zhou You’s name appear on the bounty list.

He was afraid that he had read it wrong, so he hurriedly asked Shidi, "Read the reward to me again."

"Gongliang City, 'Winged Tiger' travels around, reward of 10,000 taels."

Nickname + name eliminates the possibility of having the same name and surname. That’s right, it’s his boxing partner Zhou You.

Li Hao was filled with shock. When the Thousand Faces Hall's bounty was announced, many warriors who made a living from the bounty came into action.

Ten thousand taels is not a small number. From now on, Zhou You will never have a peaceful day and must be on guard against assassination challenges at all times.

"Zhou You, who did you offend?"

Li Hao didn't know yet that Zhou You had offended the second son of the Qi family, one of the two major families in Gongliang City.

He knew the situation was serious, so he immediately turned around and found a letter stall, wrote a letter on the spur of the moment and sent it to Gongliang City overnight.
