Danwu Refining Spirit

Chapter 91 Once you've submitted, don't talk back.

Tiger Two? Does that mean One-Eyed Dragon? But why use such an offensive name? Tiger Two, isn't that just tiger penis?

Xiao Chong secretly despised Gu Yifeng's taste, then curled his lip and shouted, "Enough nonsense. We'll see what it's like first."

Huh? Why is he even more arrogant than me?

"Boy, you're asking for death!" Gu Zhenfeng roared in anger, swinging his iron mace straight at Xiao Chong.

"Brothers, let's go! I'll take care of this old bastard." Xiao Chong shouted, throwing a punch at a gust of wind.

"No problem!" the fat man shouted, and he and Yin Feng and the others rushed into the bandit group and started a melee.

The massive iron mace, accompanied by a fierce wind, hurtled straight toward Xiao Chong's face.

Xiao Chong knew that he couldn't hide now.

Because the iron hammer is connected to an iron chain, if it is swung around, it will inevitably strike one after another, becoming faster and heavier, making it even more difficult to defend against.

Therefore, Xiao Chong neither dodged nor avoided the iron spike, but instead took the hit head-on with his fists!

This was not because Xiao Chong was arrogant and wanted to fight the iron hammer with his own flesh and blood.

Rather, it was because he felt a significant change in his physical body after being infused with star power, and he wanted to see just how strong his body had become.

"boom!"

The iron mace collided with the fist. Xiao Chong screamed and took a few steps back, while the iron mace was sent flying backward, crashing into a gust of wind.

It hurts! It hurts a lot! But it's still within a tolerable range. Xiao Chong's lips twitched incessantly as he stole a glance at a gust of wind.

A sudden gust of wind caused this unexpected change, startling the iron spike that flew back, and he quickly ducked to avoid it.

Is this kid even human? He's only at the Martial Apprentice level, how come his physical body is so strong?

That last strike was delivered with resentment, and the force of it was clear to everyone. Even with his martial arts skills, he wouldn't dare to take it head-on with his fist.

"It doesn't seem that hard, let's try again!" Xiao Chong stretched and bent his palm forcefully, then beckoned to a gust of wind.

"After traveling all over the country for so many years, I was actually looked down upon by a greenhorn!" A gust of wind felt his face burning, and he didn't know where to put his old face.

Then let's go for it. Anyway, a steel hammer against a fist won't hurt me.

With a sudden burst of energy, he roared and swung the large iron mace at Xiao Chong again. This time, he increased the force, intending to kill Xiao Chong with a single blow.

"boom!"

Xiao Chong punched the skull again, with the same effect as before, except that he took a step back this time.

"Are you tickling me? Why are you acting like a starving girl!" Xiao Chong endured the pain, but pretended to be indifferent.

"Since you've brought this upon yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless." After dodging the flying spike, Guzhenfeng saw Xiao Chong's expression and his teeth itched with hatred.

The first two vertebrae had little effect because he relied on his own strength and did not use his internal energy. The reason why the Iron Vertebra was so ferocious was entirely due to his innate superhuman strength.

He originally thought that the opponent was just a martial arts apprentice who would be no match for his divine power, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

"Die!" A gust of wind roared, swinging his large iron mace at Xiao Chong for the third time.

This time, he not only poured all his Yuan energy into the iron spike, but also used every ounce of his strength.

"Whoosh!" The massive iron mace became a blur in the firelight, arriving in an instant. Its speed and power were so great that even the air itself seemed to rip through it with a low, resonant sound.

"Let's see how you resist now!" Seeing the iron hammer hurtling towards Xiao Chong like a meteor, Gu Zhenfeng's face turned cruel, and he shouted with a savage grin.

In his eyes, Xiao Chong seemed to have turned into a pile of minced meat.

However, he was soon disappointed.

This time, Xiao Chong did not confront the giant iron hammer head-on as he had the previous two times. Instead, he turned his head to avoid it and lunged at a gust of wind.

A gust of wind startled him, and he tried to dodge.

He had used all his strength in that iron hammer blow, and now that his old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated, he was at his weakest. How could he dare to fight Xiao Chong head-on?

But just as he was about to dodge, the giant iron mace lost its target and, with nothing to stop it, suddenly lurched forward. A gust of wind was violently pulled along, and his body involuntarily faced Xiao Chong.

With a loud bang, the two bodies collided violently.

Why are there so many little stars in front of me? Is it a sign of good fortune? A gust of wind felt like I'd hit a hard steel plate head-on; half my body went numb, and I almost lost my breath.

This was a rare opportunity! Taking advantage of the moment when the wind made him dizzy and he hadn't come to his senses, Xiao Chong leaped up and tackled his opponent to the ground, then unleashed a flurry of punches.

Poor Guafeng, although his martial arts cultivation has reached the Martial Life Realm, he is, after all, a self-taught individual. Where would he find any proper body-refining techniques?

Moreover, when masters clash, shouldn't it be a back-and-forth exchange, each move executed without a trace of frivolity? Your desperate, relentless fighting lacks any grace; how am I supposed to respond?

A gust of wind was somewhat bewildered. He couldn't understand Xiao Chong's fighting style at all. He really wanted to have another spectacular duel with his opponent, but Xiao Chong showed absolutely no mercy.

"Thump! Thump! Thump..."

Xiao Chong kept his head down, his fists flying like the wind, aiming only at the vital points on the wind's body.

"That was so awesome! You have to admit that a fist imbued with Star Power is something else. It can even send a giant iron hammer flying, let alone your small frame."

Moreover, since absorbing the drop of essence blood from the cauldron spirit, his physical body has become even stronger, making him practically a humanoid machine when he charges at people.

Xiao Chong became more and more triumphant as he fought, feeling as if he had eaten a whole pack of chewing gum and couldn't stop.

"Do you submit?" After fighting for a while, Xiao Chong stopped and asked.

“I’m not convinced. You…you cheated. If you’re so capable, let’s…start over…” a gust of wind said intermittently.

Don't you understand the principle that all's fair in war? Starting over again? Do you think this is a movie? Xiao Chong's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Another round of punches landed on Gu Zhenfeng.

"Are you satisfied?"

"You disagree..."

"Not convinced? Then keep fighting until you submit." Xiao Chong glared and unleashed a barrage of punches.

"Are you satisfied?"

"I give up, stop hitting me..." Gu Yifeng finally couldn't take it anymore and began to beg for mercy.

"Since you've submitted, you're not allowed to talk back when we hit you again!"

The old man's punches didn't stop; in fact, they became even more frequent than before.

Just as the fight was in full swing, Xiao Chong suddenly felt that the surroundings were completely silent, without a single sound.

What's going on? Wasn't it a chaotic battle? Did both sides perish together? Xiao Chong looked around.

The fat man and Yin Feng and the others were surrounding him, craning their necks and staring at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

The remaining bandits lay motionless on the ground, it was unclear whether they were dead or unconscious, but judging from the blood-stained weapons in the fat man's hands, the chances of these bandits being alive were slim.

"This is too cruel. Why beat him after he's already surrendered?" The fat man looked at Xiao Chong, then at Yizhenfeng, whose body was already deformed, and muttered to himself.

"What? Do you want to get hit too?" Xiao Chong looked at the fat man with an unfriendly gaze when he heard the question.

"No, you continue, I won't disturb you." The fat man was startled and quickly retreated behind the crowd, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

"Captain, if we keep fighting, we might kill him," Yin Feng said, forcing himself to speak.

"Killing him would be perfect for feeding the dogs," Xiao Chong said, raising his fist in the air.

“This is the bandit leader; we should be able to find something of value in him,” Yin Feng cautiously reminded him.

"Ah, this kid has finally caught on. My previous instruction wasn't in vain." Xiao Chong stopped his punch and nodded to Yin Feng with satisfaction.

In the firelight, the two looked at each other and smiled, their faces conveying a sense of "you understand me best."

But after appreciating each other's talents, we still need to get down to business.

Xiao Chong pointed to Yizhenfeng, who was lying on the ground barely alive, and ordered, "Tie him up first. I want to have a good talk with him tomorrow."

"Leave it to me," Yin Feng agreed, and found someone to tie up Gu Zhenfeng tightly and take him away.

Just as Xiao Chong was about to leave, the fat man looked at the corpses on the ground and asked, "What should we do with these people?"

"Do I even need to ask? There's a ready-made ditch over there. Just drag them all in and bury them." Xiao Chong waved his hand and walked into his house without looking back.

……

……

As dawn broke, Xiao Chong stepped out of the house, stretched in the courtyard, and prepared to interrogate Gu Yifeng.

The courtyard had been cleaned up. The bloodstains on the ground and bluestone slabs were washed with water and then blown by the wind, leaving only faint dark marks.

There was no sign of fighting in the entire camp. If it weren't for the faint smell of blood in the wind, no one would have guessed that a fierce battle had taken place in this open space last night.

Yin Feng had been waiting for Xiao Chong in the courtyard. When Xiao Chong came out, he stepped forward and said, "That bandit leader has been locked up all night and hasn't eaten or drunk anything. He probably won't last much longer before he starts answering whatever they ask."

"It's not that easy to pry open the mouth of these desperate criminals," Xiao Chong said with a smile. "Let's go and take a look."

"I'll take you there." Yin Feng nodded and walked ahead, his face full of a humble and eager-to-learn expression.

The two left the courtyard and stopped in front of a storeroom behind the courtyard. Yin Feng opened the door and led Xiao Chong inside.

The room was dimly lit, and the stench of blood mingled with the musty smell unique to warehouses, making one feel nauseous. As soon as Xiao Chong entered the warehouse, he was overwhelmed by the strange odor.

After a while, when the cold wind outside had mostly dissipated the strange smell in the warehouse, the two of them covered their noses and went inside.

After a night's rest, Gu Yifeng looked much better than the night before. Seeing the two enter, Gu Yifeng snorted coldly and glared at them angrily.

This guy won't admit defeat until he's faced with the truth. What kind of time is this to be pretending to have backbone in front of me?

Xiao Chong glanced at a gust of wind and asked with a smile, "May I ask your name, hero?"

"Pah!" A gust of wind raised its head, spat at Xiao Chong, and shouted, "Grandpa is the infamous bandit Agust of Wind, who has roamed the Southern Wilderness for twenty years. No one knows him, no one..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong flew into a rage and interrupted, "You grandson, how did you end up in my hands?"

"This..." A gust of wind paused, then said angrily, "It was clearly you who cheated, that's why Grandpa fell for your trick."

"You're being dishonest! How can I have a pleasant heart-to-heart talk with you if you have this attitude?" Xiao Chong's face darkened, and he raised his hand to slap the old man's face.
