Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 28 Mission Completed, The Secret of the Azure Orchid Sword Technique
"what?"

Han Shan stared wide-eyed at Lu Yuan, who had suddenly appeared.

He was so far away, how did he get here in the blink of an eye?

What kind of light skill is this?
Is there really such a light-footed skill in the martial arts world?
Why had he never heard of it?

Han Shan could only watch helplessly as Lu Yuan threw a punch. With a bang, his abdomen churned, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from his mouth.

Lu Yuan stopped exerting his strength.

Otherwise, with his strength, this punch would have been enough to turn Hanshan into bloody foam.

He couldn't let Hanshan die like this.

He insulted him, and now he wants to die a quick death?
Think beautifully.

As everyone knows, Lu Yuan doesn't hold grudges, because he settles scores on the spot.

It will never be left until the next day.

Naturally, they won't hold a grudge.

……

"Don't shout."

"Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel pain."

"It won't hurt in a bit."

Lu Yuan gently comforted him, then threw another punch. This time, the punch landed on Han Shan's left leg, and a cracking sound was heard as the bones in Han Shan's left leg were shattered by the punch.

"what……"

"boom……"

With a series of punches, Lu Yuan shattered all of Han Shan's bones. Without the support of his bones, Han Shan's body was like a lump of mud, unable to stand up.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have died long ago.

But Han Shan was different. He was a disciple of the Demon Yin Sect and cultivated the Demon Yin Body, which gave him a powerful life force. Even though all his bones were smashed, he still relied on his true energy to live on.

This feeling of being worse than dead is too painful.

If he could, Hanshan would rather die right now.

Don't have to suffer this way.

"Game over."

Lu Yuan grabbed Han Shan's limbs and tore at them...

Soon, Han Shan was torn into pieces by Lu Yuan in this humiliating manner. Before dying, Han Shan showed a relieved smile.

He finally died.

[Beep! The leader of Black Mountain Stronghold is dead. The bandits' revenge mission is about to end.]

Players who have registered, please note the period for redeeming points.

[Beep beep beep, mission is about to end.]

[Clean up the remaining bandits.]

The system voice sounded.

The players' expressions changed.

He looked at the remaining bandits, his eyes gleaming.

"The mission is about to end, brothers, let's go!"

"I can't watch anymore, or my little money will fly away."

"The points have been settled? Damn, I only have twenty points."

"Twenty points is a lot, I only have eleven."

"Damn it, can you two stop showing off? What about my zero points?"

"That madman, he doesn't give us a single chance."

"Brother, why should I give you a chance? There are only five thousand bandits in total, while there are hundreds of thousands of us players. Each person can't even get one. It's all about skill. First come, first served."

"Sixteen points. That's all for now. I'm going to find the boss."

"Hehe, 1,800 yuan, that's enough to find a girl to play around with."

"Brother, count me in."

"Hey, when you guys are doing bad things, can I watch and learn from you? I can pay half the price."

"I want the video. May good people have a peaceful life. Thank you."

"Holy crap, the world chat is openly being provocative? I'm reporting you!" ...

"The leaders are all dead, let's run away."

"Black Mountain Village is finished."

"Brothers, the journey of life is long, may we meet again someday."

Half of the leaders of Black Mountain Stronghold died at Lu Yuan's hands, and the other half were worn down by the players using sheer numbers. The remaining ordinary bandits, seeing that the situation was hopeless, did not linger and turned to flee.

As for revenge, forget it.

Even a master like the chief is dead.

What can these noobs do?

Besides, with the leaders all dead, the stronghold is going to fall apart.

The most important thing right now is to escape, return to the stronghold as quickly as possible, loot a bunch of valuables, and flee for your life.

If we are slow, the money and goods will be looted by the other brothers.

"Escape? You're dreaming."

"Die, become my points, and be refined in an instant."

"kill."

"Watch my self-created spear technique, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Stab, I stab, stab, stab."

"Take this!"

"I forgot to tell you, I coated this knife with poison, slurp."

"Huh? This? I..."

"Dang Dang Dang..."

The battle lasted for several hours.

Until the last bandit was surrounded by dozens of people and hacked to pieces.

This mission has officially come to an end.

The next morning, the two players visited the government office at the same time and exchanged the Azure Orchid Sword Technique from the officials.

On the third day, the fourth day, and the twenty-ninth day, many players came to the government office to redeem their rewards.

However, they didn't have many points, so they couldn't exchange them for the Azure Orchid Sword Technique. They could only exchange them for slightly lower-level rewards, such as pills that could improve their skills, blood-repairing medicines, precious herbs, and some other levels of weapons and equipment.

On the last day to redeem the rewards, the third player to redeem the Azure Orchid Sword Technique appeared.

A player, whose entire body was covered by a black cloth, stepped into the government office of Wangyou County and, amidst the envious gazes of many other players, exchanged for the third Canglan Sword Technique.

Player forum.

[The three most worthwhile Xuan-level martial arts manuals to acquire in the current version, along with their acquisition methods.]

[Note: The list of Xuan-level martial arts only includes those techniques that are not difficult to obtain.]

[The ranking is not in any particular order, and the author's opinion is heavily influenced by the subject matter.]

[The first book, Xuan Yu Shou, is a martial art from the Tianshan Sect. It's easy to obtain; after joining the Tianshan Sect, you can choose three martial arts, with Xuan Yu Shou being one of them. Xuan Yu Shou is quite versatile and can be used as a standalone palm technique. Its power is average, nothing special. However, Xuan Yu Shou has an advantage: it can be used in combination with other martial arts. For example, combining it with a sword technique can achieve a synergistic effect. My personal rating is excellent.]

[The second book, Tai Chi Sword, is a martial art of the Wudang School. It's of moderate difficulty to acquire; you can learn it by joining the Wudang School. However, the entry requirements for the Wudang School are slightly higher, requiring a Order value of over 100. Those who need this can increase their Order value by doing good deeds, such as helping elderly women cross the street. Don't try to find loopholes; you'll likely be punished by the system.]

Tai Chi sword emphasizes the balance of softness and hardness, offense and defense, using softness to overcome hardness, and borrowing force to strike back. It is easy to learn but difficult to master, with great potential. Among Xuan-level martial arts, it is considered top-tier. According to Wudang masters, if Tai Chi sword is practiced to its fullest extent, it can even rival some Di-level martial arts.

[For those who align with Taoist philosophy, I highly recommend getting a Tai Chi sword.]

[The third book is the Canglan Sword Technique, a martial art of the Canglan Sword Sect. It's considered a sect-defining martial art, but the Canglan Sword Sect itself is a small sect, so just take a look.]

Although the Canglan Sword Sect is weak, this martial art is not bad.

There are three ways to obtain the Azure Orchid Sword Technique. The first is through a recent side quest where you could exchange it for 10,000 points. However, due to malicious price gouging by some people, the price of this technique has been inflated to one million RMB. Be careful, my friend.

The second way is to join the imperial court's faction, which can be achieved through merit points.

[The third option is to join the Canglan Sword Sect. This sect has disappeared somewhere, so it's hard to say if we can find them.]

[Unless someone maliciously inflates the price, I personally recommend the first method the most, because it doesn't require joining any faction; players are free, which is very important, at least for you.]

[The Azure Orchid Sword Technique—how to evaluate it? From all aspects, this martial art is quite ordinary, unremarkable, and its stats are only average.]

But why did the original poster include it?

That's because the original poster discovered a secret about this martial art.
