hiss--

The man took a deep breath, a serious look flashing in his eyes.

So serious.

He really didn't expect it to be this serious.

In today's society, where can you find such an openly blatant kill order? Yet, the first page of the Xuanhuang List clearly displays a kill order.

If you dare to copy, sell, or disseminate the content without authorization, you will be sentenced. If you dare to flee, the Armed Forces Bureau will not follow any legal procedures. No matter who you are or where you are, you will be hunted down globally until you are dead.

"Warrior..."

The man murmured something, preparing to turn to the second page.

But then his girlfriend started complaining: "What's so interesting about it? Are you crazy? You spend ten thousand yuan on a book? You could buy so many other things with that money! Is it worth it?"

The man gave a bitter smile, did not answer, and turned to the second page.

The moment he turned to the second page, the man's gaze sharpened and his heart began to pound.

In that instant, he knew he had discovered a world unknown to others. A world truly belonging to the strong.

First on the Xuanhuang List: Qin Wu

Male. 22 years old.

Boxing style: Xingyiquan (self-created)

Arm strength: The Armaments Bureau estimates it to be 4000 jin (+).

Weapons: None found.

Resume: In September 2018, Qin Wu returned to China from New York, USA, and entered Chuncheng. On the 17th of the same month, he killed Hong Jiadong, a Xiantian realm expert of the Hongquan lineage, in the street. He became an instant sensation in Chuncheng.

On October 4th, Qin Wu set foot on Chunshan Mountain and killed Hong Shengyu, the strongest member of the Chuncheng Hongquan lineage, in two moves.

On the 12th, he founded the Xingyi School in Chunshan. On that day, he challenged the entire martial arts community in Southwest China.

Numbers 13, 14, and 15 each killed several people, all of whom reached the level of "muscles and bones resonating in unison".

On the 20th of that month, Wu Huida, a powerful martial artist from Southwest Province, went to Chunshan Mountain to spar with Qin Wu. Despite being two levels below Qin Wu, Qin Wu held on for three moves without showing any signs of defeat. In the sky above the summit of Chunshan Mountain, Qin Wu used the Pi Quan (劈拳) technique, a style of Xingyi Quan (形意拳) created by himself, to make Wu Huida vomit blood.

Based on the archives and analysis of the Armed Forces Bureau, it has been determined that Qin Wu is invincible in the realm of "Muscles and Bones Resonating Together," and on the 24th, he is confirmed to be ranked first on the Xuanhuang Ranking of China.

hiss--

The man sitting there reading a book suddenly gasped and exclaimed, "He...he killed someone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire bookstore fell silent, everyone staring at the man in astonishment. Who killed someone?

Realizing his lapse in composure, the man quickly sat back down, muttering in fear:

"He...he actually killed someone?"

"He killed someone and didn't go to jail?"

"And they killed a lot of people..."

"My God, is this what martial arts are like? Fighting in the sky? Surpassing two realms and making Wu Hui Da, a master of the Gang Jin realm, vomit blood?"

"So strong? This is the Chuncheng Xingyi Sect that caused such a stir recently? The place where so many big shots and celebrities went to become disciples? The sect that was said to be a scam online? This is Xingyi Sect?"

The man murmured in terror, feeling as if he had discovered the door to a new world.

Looking at his sulking girlfriend over there, the man suddenly felt that the 10,000 yuan was well spent!

It was totally worth it!

However, he didn't understand what the concept of "muscles and bones resonating together" meant, so he continued reading.

Chapter 85: Massacres at the drop of a hat (Third update)

Second on the Xuanhuang List: Zhang Peiqi

Female. 49 years old.

Boxing style: Zhang Family Mantis Boxing lineage.

Arm strength: Estimated at 2800 jin (+)

Weapon: Meridian Mandarin Duck Axe.

Experience: In 2005, Zhang Peiqi, a cultivator at the Innate Realm, was raped by the eldest disciple of the Li Family Mantis Boxing school. She then diligently cultivated her martial arts. In 2010, Zhang Peiqi broke through to the Bone and Tendon Resonance Realm. Having mastered her skills, she stormed a mountain in South China, attacking the Li Family Mantis Boxing school. She challenged Liu Xudong, the Grand Elder of the Li Family Mantis Boxing school and a cultivator at the Bone and Tendon Resonance Realm, killing him in ten moves.

Then, driven by revenge, Zhang Peiqi used a pair of Mandarin Duck Halberds to wipe out the Li Family Mantis Fist sect. That night, Zhang Peiqi killed 460 disciples of the sect at the Acquired Realm, 26 disciples at the Innate Realm, and 1,900 ordinary mortals within the sect.

That night, the sect was covered in blood; according to witnesses, the blood reached above ankle level.

Then, Zhang Peiqi, driven mad, attempted to massacre the entire city of Xiangyang County in South China (Note: Xiangyang County was home to many outer disciples of the Li Family Mantis Fist lineage). That night, Zhang Peiqi slaughtered 3,800 ordinary people surnamed Li. He nearly committed the massacre of the entire city when Li Dongyang, the head of the Li Family Mantis Fist lineage and an Inner Strength Realm expert, rushed back from out of town. Wielding an A-grade alloy tiger claw, he enraged and killed Zhang Peiqi.

After breaking Zhang Peiqi's right arm, Zhang Peiqi fled under cover of night and has not been heard from since. While massacring an entire city is a grave taboo for martial artists, the China Armed Forces Bureau considered that Zhang Peiqi's revenge was targeted and specific, and that the ordinary people he killed were all descendants of the Li Family Mantis Boxing lineage who were unable to practice martial arts, without harming innocent people. Therefore, the Bureau ordered the Zhang Family Mantis Boxing lineage to pay 4 billion bail, and subsequently withdrew its order to hunt down and strangle Zhang Peiqi.

After that, Zhang Peiqi disappeared without a trace. The head of the Li Family Mantis Boxing issued a worldwide manhunt for Zhang Peiqi.

According to the Huaxia Armed Forces Bureau's assessment, Zhang Peiqi possesses the ability to escape from experts with internal energy and the ability to overwhelm opponents of the same level. However, compared to Qin Wu's feat of beating Wu Huida to the point of vomiting blood despite being two levels above him, she is still slightly inferior.

Therefore, Zhang Peiqi was ranked second on the Xuanhuang List.

"..."

'Om—'

With a loud bang, the man who was reading the book felt his head explode.

kill?

Massacre the city!

Rivers of blood!

Is this... what a martial artist is?

Is this the ruthlessness of martial artists?

A single word can lead to bloodshed!

That night, this woman named Zhang Peiqi, wielding a pair of Mandarin Duck Halberds, took the lives of thousands. Blood flowed like a river!

This...this is what a martial artist is?

The man was completely limp; he didn't know if this was a story or if it was real.

His worldview was shattered.

"This...this can't really be happening, can it? Did I buy a pirated book?"

The man muttered something to himself, turned to the last page, and saw three official seals affixed to it—the seal of the China Armed Forces Bureau, the seal of the China Information Bureau, and the seal of the Chinese government.

Then, four words came into view: Piracy will be prosecuted.

At that moment, he went mad and was completely bewildered.

This...this is what a martial artist is?

Massacres of entire cities at the drop of a hat?

To exterminate at the drop of a hat?

Wasn't it supposed to be that all martial artists are like Lei Lei? Wasn't it supposed to be that martial artists fight in the arena, wearing protective gear, and standing as referees?

Why is it different from what we understand?

Every martial artist recorded in the book was born to kill...

Martial artists learn martial arts to improve their health and fitness, not to kill with a single blow.

A wise person might answer: Martial arts were invented to kill people!

This is the cruelty of martial arts!

The man was completely stunned.

Meanwhile, this scene was unfolding in martial arts libraries across the country.

The martial arts rankings are being sold like hotcakes, and because the contents are forbidden from being leaked, the only way to find out about them is to buy them yourself.

Countless people bought it, and countless people were shocked after seeing it.

Warrior...

Earthquakes and landslides occur frequently.

Bloodshed is commonplace.

This is completely different from what ordinary people think of martial artists. In their eyes, only those with an otherworldly air and those old men with long beards can be called martial artists.

In their eyes, those who focus on health preservation and physical fitness should be considered martial artists, right?

For martial artists, the ultimate goal should be to live the longest, right?

Obviously not.
