Chapter 14 Invitation
Thirteen Horizontal Refining!

Another world's most advanced physical training skills are achieved here.

The tip of the gun pierced through the clothes and hit the center, but it only caused a slight dent in the flesh and then stopped abruptly.

Ok?
The gun-wielding man in black narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly:

"It's just a piece of soft armor to protect yourself."

He didn't believe that the human body could be invulnerable to swords and guns, and he couldn't believe that such a thing could happen to a nobleman.

"collapse!"

With a flick of his wrist, the spear suddenly jumped, and the tip of the spear drew a graceful arc and pointed at Zhu Ju's temple.

"Blue Dragon Swings its Tail! Liuhe Spear!"

Yan Xiuxin screamed:
"You are Shen Ying!"

Shen Ying, the owner of Liuhe Martial Arts School?
Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly, and he tilted his head back slightly to avoid the incoming gun tip, his face already ashen.

"Master Shen?"

"Not bad!"

At this point, Shen Ying simply pulled off the black cloth from his head and looked at him coldly:
"Mr. Zhu, as the saying goes, a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure. I was just following orders, so don't blame me."

"die!"

Poisonous dragon thorn!
The tip of the gun trembled rapidly, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, but the gun shadows in the field suddenly gathered inward.

collapse!
The spear broke through the air, and a slight shrill scream was heard.

Being able to cultivate the Liuhe Spear to this level means that he is only half a step away from tempering his body with Qi and blood.

Zhu Ju raised his hand to meet the incoming spear.

court death!

Shen Ying had a grim smile on his face. He had already anticipated the scene where the spear would pierce through Zhu Ju's palm and then into his throat.

You really thought you were invulnerable...

"Snapped!"

The air-piercing spear was like a poisonous snake with its vital points pinched, suddenly stopping in its rapid advance.

"Shen Ying!"

Zhu Ju held the tip of the gun in one hand and looked down at the other party:
"Zhu thought he had treated you well, but he never expected..."

"What a disappointment!"

"Impossible!" Zhu Ju opened his eyes wide and tried frantically to pull out the spear, but it was useless.

"This is impossible!"

With a loud roar, he threw away his spear and pounced forward, attacking with his fists with all his might.

snort!
Zhu Ju snorted softly, waved his hand to throw away the spear, and took advantage of the momentum to chop down with his palm like a landslide.

Hunyuan Iron Hand!

Setting!

Deposit bridge!
With a palm strike, Shen Ying's boxing stance collapsed instantly, and with his middle door wide open, he was hit in the heart by a palm strike.

"puff!"

The violent palm force came in like a torrent of wind and rain, and Shen Ying vomited blood and flew backwards for several meters, landing silently on the ground.

A peak blood coagulation warrior,
dead!
There was silence.

It was already shocking that Shen Ying had stabbed Zhu Ju in the chest, but at least there was soft armor to explain it.

Now?

A pair of bare palms resisted the spear, and the blood-clotting warrior was killed by two palms. This was not a lie at all.

"Shh!"

The figure in the field flashed, and Zhu Ju appeared beside another man in black, striking out with both palms emitting black energy.

Carrying the mountain and subduing the tiger!
The man subconsciously swung his knife to fight back, but Zhu Ju did not dodge and let the blade hit his neck.

"when……"

The long sword rebounded and rose up, and the palm force had already shattered the throat bone.

dead!
Zhu Ju dodged again.

The Thirteen Horizontal Exercises will slow down the speed, but that also depends on who you are comparing with. At least under the burst of Qi, blood and strength, ordinary blood coagulation warriors are far less fast than him.

His indestructible body and terrifying palm power made him like a tiger among a flock of sheep, killing them indiscriminately.

"Body Tempering Master!"

"Run away!"

"what……"

In the blink of an eye, four people had died at the hands of Zhu Ju, and the remaining three were also held back by the two pavilion masters, Yan and Lan.

soon.

Seven bodies lay on the ground.

"call……"

Zhu Ju closed his eyes and exhaled, silently feeling the weak qi and blood and the sore muscles and bones in his body.

"The burst of energy and blood is indeed difficult to sustain. If the opponent had not lost his fighting spirit, he might have had a chance to escape."

"Mr. Zhu."

Yan Jingfu examined the corpses on the ground and bowed respectfully:
"Besides Shen Ying, there are two other well-known warriors in the city. I don't know the others. This must be the work of the Wu family."

"should?"

"I am just the owner of a small martial arts school. I don't know much about the wealthy families and powerful forces in the city."

He looked embarrassed and replied:

"The Tiger Martial Arts School should know their origins."

"never mind."

Zhu Ju waved his hand:

"It's getting late, let's go back."

"Yes." Yan Jingfu responded and waved towards the dazed Yan Xiuxin:
"Why don't you bring the horse here and let the young master get on it?"

"Brother Lan."

"what……"

"let's go."

"……Yes."

Lan Qisheng came back to his senses, looked at the seven corpses on the ground, then looked at Zhu Ju who looked calm, his expression changing back and forth.

…………

Soon after.

A group of police officers from the government office appeared at the scene. Bodies were carried out one after another and the coroner came forward to examine them.

"Shen Ying from Liuhe Martial Arts School, Shunzi from the Wu family, Fu Chun from the dock..." Jiang Ping's face was solemn.
“They are all masters!”

"Head." Someone whispered:
"It is said that someone from Wancai Cloth Shop passed by when the incident happened. Should we arrest him and question him?"

"Heh..." Jiang Ping said coldly:
"Do you know anyone on Earth?"

"Any one of these seven people is as strong as me. Do you think we can catch the murderer?"

"Ah!" The constable's face changed drastically.
"Doesn't Wancai Cloth Shop have no background?"

"Who knows?" Jiang Ping put his hands behind his back and looked towards Wancai Cloth Shop, then his expression changed:
"Brother Tie, why are you here?" "Captain Jiang." Tie Heng bowed.
"My Lord, you heard there was a murder here, so you asked me to come and see if you can find out anything?"

"Lord Fang is concerned about state affairs, and he is also busy arresting people. It is really admirable." Jiang Ping said flatteringly:
"We have just arrived as well. We heard that Brother Tie was once an inspector in the capital, and this time he followed Lord Fang to Yuecheng. We were just hoping to ask for your guidance."

Tie Heng ignored his chatter, walked quickly to the corpse, lifted the white cloth and checked the injuries.

His expression immediately became extremely solemn.

"Where are the weapons?"

"there!"

"Is there blood on it?"

"Never."

"..." Tie Heng stood up, his face gloomy:

"The palm force shattered the sternum and internal organs. He must have at least reached the peak of body tempering. The injuries are consistent, which means the attacker is the same person."

"There's no blood on the blade, which means that the man was able to handle the siege of seven people with ease and wasn't hurt at all."

?

Although Jiang Ping's strength was average, he was also an experienced detective. How could he not know the situation after hearing this?

His face turned pale.

"Gui Zang?"

"Very likely." Tie Heng nodded slowly:
"Have your people be careful when investigating. Guizang Realm masters usually require the deployment of the military to encircle and suppress them."

"Yes." Jiang Ping lowered his head.

survey?

It's almost like going to die!

Whoever has the ability can go, but my people will definitely not go.

Zhu Ju was soaking in the medicine barrel, his long hair hanging down behind him, steam rising, and his body gradually disappearing into it.

"Son."

Yan Xiuxin squatted not far away and boiled the medicine. She asked curiously:
"Aren't you going to work with others to build a cloth shop?"

"How could that be?" Zhu Ju replied:
"On the contrary, I am happy to cooperate with others in business. It was when I first introduced the martial arts school, and it is the same now."

"Then why..."

“Because they’re not here to discuss business.”

Zhu Ju smiled:
"Instead, they gave me charity and forced me to work with them. It seems like cooperating with them is a privilege I, Zhu, have accumulated over several lifetimes."

He traveled through time to make money, so of course he would do anything that would benefit both parties.

However,

Whether it is the Zhao family or the Wu family, these wealthy families in Yuecheng simply look down on the cloth shops that suddenly appeared.

Throwing a few bones casually seems to be the kindness of these people, and you have to be grateful. If you express your gratitude too late, you will feel sorry for their charity.

That's it,
What else is there to say?

"Ok!"

"puff……"

His expression changed, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Then he skillfully picked up a towel beside him and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Sir?"

Yan Xiuxin stood up with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay." Zhu Ju waved his hand:
"It's an old problem. It doesn't matter."

He thought to himself, "It's really hard to cultivate the internal organs. If you're a little impatient, you might get hurt."

There are five levels in the Thirteen Horizontal Refining. The third level is a watershed and also the most critical hurdle.

Completed,

With a solid physical foundation, switching to other techniques will not be affected much.

No,

This indicates that one has a low talent for cultivation and will hardly achieve anything in his lifetime. You can choose to study other skills.

The internal organs are extremely fragile and contain much acquired impurities. They need to be tempered and cleansed bit by bit, and cannot be done in a hurry.

Zhu Ju was used to rapid growth in strength, so he inevitably felt uncomfortable when he suddenly slowed down, and he almost got injured.

"Vomiting impurities is normal, but black blood indicates damage to the internal organs. It seems I'll have to stop taking the strong medicine for a few days."

Sighing, he stood up from the tub, dried himself and put on his robe.

Yan Xiuxin's pretty face turned slightly red and she turned away.

"Thankfully, my Qi and blood nourish my body, and compared to others, my progress in the internal organs realm is quite fast."

"If the Qi and Blood Martial Arts can advance further..."

Feeling the condensed qi and blood in his body, Zhu Ju couldn't help but smile.

Rapid progress!

It shouldn't be long before I have a chance to break through, but unfortunately I don't have any martial arts techniques to reach the Body Tempering Realm, so I can only endure it after advancing.

"Mr. Zhu."

Yan Jingfu's voice came from outside the door:

"Master Shen is here to visit."

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows:

"welcome."

Compared to other forces that came to "discuss cooperation", the Tiger Martial Arts School was the most sincere one.

…………

"Ha ha……"

The voice comes before the person.

"Brother Zhu has great tactics. That Wu guy is so mean and looks down on others. He deserves a slap in the face to teach him a lesson."

Shen Hu walked in with a smile and gave someone a bear hug.

"I just woke up and don't understand what Master Shen is saying." Zhu Ju smiled and separated the other person, looking at the other person:
"Captain Jiang, it's been a while."

"Yes."

Jiang Ping laughed dryly and asked as usual:
"There was a murder on the street last night. I heard that Master Zhu was passing by at the time. I wonder what he saw?"

"Really?" Zhu Ju touched his chin.

"I didn't see any murders, but I did see someone secretly misappropriating the city's defense weapons. This is a serious crime that could wipe out an entire family."

"Ah?" Jiang Ping's face turned pale.

He was unwilling to investigate the murder case, and it also involved the misappropriation of military equipment. This was not something a small detective like him could handle.

"that……"

With a dry smile, he took out an invitation from his pocket:
"Mr. Zhu, Lord Fang is planning to host a banquet for all the martial arts masters on this street tomorrow, and you are among them."

"The new prefect, Lord Fang?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Ju turned his head and saw Shen Hu nodding, obviously he had also received the invitation.
