Chapter 9: A Year of Focusing on Knees

The bronze spear hurtled towards them with the force of thunder. The fat fish leader was horrified and dared not underestimate it. He immediately raised one arm, revealing the muscles hidden beneath his fat, and grabbed the tip of the spear.

The fat fish leader felt a sharp pain in his palm, as a large chunk of flesh was rubbed away. Once he realized the strength of the attacker, his face instantly contorted with rage.

"Turns out you're just a few petty thieves at the second tier. You made me worry for nothing. I'm bored today, so I'll have a good time with you guys!"

Bai Qi remained silent, wielding his long spear with impenetrable skill, so much so that even the fat fish leader dared not take his blows head-on.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fu Jiu launched a sneak attack, holding the Tang sword horizontally. With a "rip," he slashed open the fat fish leader's clothes, but only left a shallow bloodstain on his back.

The fat fish leader's eyes widened, and anger surged from the bottom of his heart. Being injured by a second-level cultivator was a disgrace to him.

Li Si was quickly reaping the lives of several thugs. Even if he couldn't beat Bai Qi and Fu Jiu, he could still easily take down some of the weaker ones. At the same time, he was also preventing these thugs from going back and reporting the incident.

In this era, most communication devices have become useless; otherwise, the Black Dragon Society would have received the news the moment they made their move, and they wouldn't have chosen to ambush here.

Li Si's actions made the fat fish leader's forehead veins throb. If these thugs died, he would inevitably be scolded by Black Dragon.

Seeing that he couldn't take down the two men in a short time, the leader of the fat fish gang stopped holding back.

His blood and qi surged, and a tremendous vitality flowed into his limbs and bones, instantly activating his life potential. Every piece of flesh and blood in his body underwent a miraculous transformation at the same time.

His fat body trembled and swelled at a visible speed. His original height of about 1.7 meters quickly increased to 2.5 meters, and his arms were more than twice as thick as before. When he stomped his legs on the ground, he kicked up a pile of gravel. From a distance, he looked like a small giant of flesh.

"Holy crap, is this the Hulk transforming?" Li Si gasped.

Fu Jiu had already described to him this state of life activation at the third stage, but a description is just a description, how can it compare to the shock of seeing it with one's own eyes?

This ferocious posture doesn't look like something to be trifled with, does it? No wonder Fu Jiu said before that his strength would change drastically after activating his life potential; you can tell from his height alone.

Bai Qi stepped back a few paces, frowning. He clearly hadn't expected his opponent to be so troublesome after activating his life potential.

He also gained a lot this time, and vaguely sensed the path to advancing to the third tier. With a determined heart, Bai Qi raised his spear and charged forward again.

"Hmph, you dare to come back!"

The fat fish leader snorted coldly, his right arm muscles tensing.

His strength had only recently reached the third tier, and he was still somewhat unable to control this enormous power, but it was more than enough to deal with several second-tier cultivators.

"Breaking Formation!" Bai Qi shouted, his power surging, all his strength concentrated on the bronze spear, making the cold glint at the tip of the spear particularly eye-catching.

This is a killing move he rarely uses in his daily life. It's all about striking the enemy with one blow, and he doesn't dare to use it lightly even during training, lest he lose control and hurt someone.

When the leader of the fat fish saw the cold glint on the tip of the gun, his expression changed slightly, and he felt a strong sense of crisis from the tip of the gun.

A third-tier cultivator's intuition is always very accurate, so he couldn't help but be cautious. Fat Fish tried to find a way out, but found that his body was too big to hide from, so he might as well face it head-on.

However, no matter how strong his flesh and blood body was, how could it withstand the bronze spear in the opponent's hand?

The leader of the fat fish was filled with resentment. He had been careless and hadn't brought any weapons when he came out today, otherwise he would never be in such a sorry state.

Catching sight of a street lamp on his right, the fat fish leader had an idea and pulled up the lamp to block it.

"Dang~"

A clang of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by a sharp, piercing hum that echoed throughout the arena, making even Li Si, who was far away, feel a headache coming on.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, neither of them giving way, and they remained locked in a stalemate for a while.

The leader of the fat fish was clearly stronger, but as the defender, he was at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. Moreover, Bai Qi was also powerful, so neither could gain the upper hand for the time being.

"A good opportunity!" Fu Jiu, who was hiding to the side, didn't care whether he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune. He grabbed his Tang sword and stabbed the fat fish leader in the knee.

In fact, the back of the head is the most vulnerable part of the back; stabbing it once will guarantee to kill him immediately.

But Fu Jiu couldn't do that. If he dared to stab the back of the head, the fat fish leader would definitely turn around and fight desperately, which was not what he wanted to see. So this time, his target was the knee.

The fat fish leader, sensing the danger to his lower body, turned ashen-faced. He hesitated to retreat, fearing that if he loosened his grip, Bai Qi might seize the opportunity and stab him through with his spear, potentially killing him on the spot.

With a "thud," the sound of a knife piercing flesh rang out, accompanied by a spurt of bright red blood. The black Tang sword had pierced the fat fish leader's kneecap all the way through.

The fat fish leader lost his balance and knelt on one knee. He still held the lamppost and spear firmly with both hands, not daring to let go. At the same time, his leg muscles gripped the Tang sword tightly, forcing Fu Jiu to temporarily abandon the weapon.

Bai Qi seized the opportunity, took a half step with his right foot, and instantly changed the momentum of his spear, smashing it downwards.

The fat fish leader hurriedly raised the lamppost to defend himself, but this time the lamppost was no longer as imposing as before and was smashed into two pieces in one go.

He then realized that the lamppost was actually hollow, which explained why it was so light.

All he could think of was cursing. Fat Fish covered his head with both hands, but he was a beat too slow and was hit on the head by the spear.

Even if his head wasn't smashed open by the blow, given his strength as a third-tier cultivator, he would still see stars and feel dizzy.

"Let me go. If you just let me go, I'll give you everything I have."

In his dazed state, the leader of the fat fish knew he was probably going to die this time, and had no choice but to beg the other party to spare his life.

"Let you go?" Fu Jiu sneered.

"Everyone who's in this business is risking their life. If you killed someone yesterday, be prepared to be killed today!"

"Haha, good." The fat fish leader finally understood that these two were probably here for revenge and had no intention of letting him go.

"Well said! You kill me today, and you'll be killed by others tomorrow! Just wait, I'll be watching you from hell, watching you be killed one by one by others..."

A bronze spear pierced his head, and the cacophony ceased abruptly.

Bai Qi wiped the blood off his spear, stood holding it, and looked quite like a general on the battlefield.

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The rest of us aren't as fragile as you," Fu Jiu sneered.

After a slight hesitation, Fu Jiu only plundered the fat fish leader's body and gave up the idea of ​​turning his corpse into Qi and Blood Fruits. Firstly, he had enough Qi and Blood Fruits at the moment, and secondly, he was afraid that he would not be able to bring himself to do it.

Even the most ruthless wolf will not devour its own kind, let alone a human.

In fact, whether it is humans or other carnivores, when faced with creatures of different species, they can often kill them and devour their flesh and blood. However, once the target is their own kind, no matter how much hatred there is between them, it is difficult to reach the point of eating each other's flesh and blood.

Fu Jiu was no exception. Even though he knew that turning the other party into a Qi and Blood Fruit would be the most helpful thing for him, he still gave up in the end.

He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't become a ruthless killer in the future, but at least he didn't have that intention at the moment.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong. Perhaps it was a little ridiculous, and perhaps he would soon be unable to resist the temptation. But in any case, he felt that he had a clear conscience.
