Comprehensive Network: Starting with Martial Artists to Stack Passive Skills

"Xuanji! Wake up, wake up!"

Lu Qingfeng's voice was extremely low, yet it was incredibly penetrating, instantly waking his junior brother who was leaning against the stone wall.

"Ugh... Senior Brother?"

Xuanji rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked over blankly.

"Silence! Someone's coming! At least three people!"

"Put out the fire! Hide behind that big rock inside! No matter what happens, don't come out or make a sound!"

Xuanji was instantly wide awake, his face turned ashen, and he frantically rushed towards the fire, trying to extinguish it.

The cave was suddenly plunged into deep darkness.

Clutching his bundle and sword, he shrank behind the boulder Lu Qingfeng pointed out, like a frightened rabbit, his body trembling slightly with fear.

Lu Qingfeng then used the concealment ability of the Blood Moon Mark to blend into the darkness inside the cave.

He closed his eyes and focused his mind, pushing his senses to the limit, trying his best to capture the subtle movements outside the cave.

Footsteps!

Although the sound of rain tried to mask it, it was still clearly audible that it was rapidly approaching the cave entrance from below the hillside.

The newcomers moved with a well-trained rhythm, clearly not hunters from the mountains.

"There was a fire inside the cave, but it just went out."

A hoarse, deep voice rang out not far from the cave entrance, carrying an air of certainty.

"Hmph, you ran fast, hiding in a mouse hole? Fourth brother, you have a keen nose, confirm if they're those two little cow-nosed ones?"

Another, slightly rougher voice rang out.

A slight rustling sound, as if someone was sniffing around.

"No mistake! The lingering Taoist aura, and... the smell of blood! Very faint, it's from the older boy's wounds! It's inside!"

The voice known as "Fourth Brother" had a hint of excited hissing, which sounded sinister.

They're after them! Their objective is clear!

Lu Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine, and his killing intent surged instantly.

Since entering this world, he has never met anyone other than his junior brother. They have no grudges or enmities, so why is this happening?!

I just wanted to complete a task, why are you forcing me? Why?

He gently drew the Qingfeng sword from his waist.

The cold blade emitted a faint, almost imperceptible glow in the darkness, suppressed by the spiritual energy quietly circulating within his body.

Although only a trace of the immense power of his previous life's blood and qi had been restored, it surged within his body like molten lava, ready to erupt at any moment.

With a slight thought, the [Blood Moon Mark] residing within his body silently activated, and a chilling, sharp aura instantly enveloped the sword's edge.

Three dark figures were blocking the entrance to the cave, forming a triangular shape.

The leader was a burly man who wielded a thick-backed machete.

The person on the left is tall and thin, with a water-splitting dagger at his waist.

The fourth brother on the right was slightly hunched over, seemingly holding a hidden weapon in his hand, his eyes gleaming eerily in the darkness.

"You little Taoist priests inside, get out here obediently! Hand over the stuff, and we'll give you a quick death!"

The burly man with a rough voice grinned maliciously, trying to exert pressure with words.

Lu Qingfeng did not respond, but simply adjusted his breathing to the optimal state.

"Damn it, they won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences! Third brother, set off some smoke! Smoke them to death!"

Seeing that no one answered, the burly man growled angrily.

The tall, thin third brother immediately pulled out a bamboo tube from his pocket, as if to light it.

The moment his flint sparked, Lu Qingfeng moved!

A figure in cyan suddenly burst forth from the darkness!

Instead of rushing towards the cave entrance, he suddenly pushed off the cave wall behind him, and using the recoil, he shot forward like an arrow, at an extremely strange angle, close to the shadow of the cave ceiling, straight towards the fourth brother on the far right!

A gentle breeze caresses the willows; a fleeting shadow dances in the wind!

His use of the level 10 Gentle Breeze Willow Sword Technique has long surpassed the original version's limitations.

When he used this move, it was no longer a flowing, graceful movement, but a ruthless, sudden attack!

In the darkness, the Azure Edge Sword transformed into a silent azure lightning bolt, carrying the chilling true damage added by the Blood Moon Mark, and pierced straight for the fourth brother's throat!

Too fast!

Too abrupt!

The choice of target was completely unexpected!

Before the fourth brother could even utter a complete cry of alarm, he felt a chill in his throat, and a sharp pain accompanied by a bone-chilling destructive force instantly destroyed his life. The hidden weapon in his hand clattered to the ground, and his body slumped to the ground.

"Fourth brother!"

"This idea is tricky!"

The burly man and the tall, thin third brother were filled with shock and anger; they hadn't even seen how their companion had died!

The burly man roared and slashed his thick-backed cleaver down hard at Lu Qingfeng, who had just landed, with a dull thud!

At the same time, the third brother's water-splitting thorn also stabbed towards Lu Qingfeng's ribs like a venomous snake, with a tricky and ruthless angle!

Lu Qingfeng remained completely calm.

Faced with attacks from both above and below, he used his Cloud Step technique to its fullest extent, his body making a slight arc to dodge the blade.

At the same time, the Qingfeng sword drew a cold arc of light, accurately blocking the spine of the Fenshui Thorn!

Clang!

The clanging of metal against metal was particularly jarring inside the cramped cave.

A tremendous force emanated from the sword, causing Lu Qingfeng's arm to go slightly numb.

This body's strength and physique are indeed at a disadvantage when facing two adult martial artists who have clearly practiced external martial arts!

If it weren't for the subtle power redirection achieved at the microscopic level, the Green Edge Sword might have slipped from his grasp in this head-on collision!

"Good lad! You've got some skills!"

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng was able to block the combined attack, the burly man's eyes gleamed even more fiercely. He turned his blade and slashed horizontally at Lu Qingfeng's waist!

The blade whistled through the air, clearly indicating that the user was using their full strength.

The third brother also cooperated perfectly, delivering the Split Water Spike again, aiming straight for Lu Qingfeng's lower body!

Compared to these two, a direct confrontation is definitely not the best strategy.

Lu Qingfeng leaned back sharply, almost parallel to the ground, narrowly avoiding a knife aimed at his waist.

At the same time, his left foot kicked upwards at lightning speed, striking the third brother's wrist, which was holding a dagger!

Click!

A clear cracking sound rang out!

At the same time, a chilling force surged in.

The third brother screamed in agony as the Water-Splitting Thorn flew out of his hand.

"Ah! My hand!"

opportunity!

The Qingfeng sword drew a tragic blue arc in the darkness, its cold, eerie light carrying the mark of the blood moon, aimed directly at the neck of the third brother, which was exposed due to the intense pain!

laugh--

Blood suddenly appeared!

The third brother's screams stopped abruptly, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his bleeding neck.

In just two breaths, two of the three were gone!

The burly man was terrified!

This young Taoist priest in front of me is no lamb to the slaughter, but a Yama, the King of Hell, who is about to take my life!

He had lost all will to fight and instinctively wanted to turn around and run away.

"Hmph! Trying to escape?"

Lu Qingfeng hurled the Qingfeng sword!

Spiritual Power: 0/5

All the spiritual energy poured out, transforming into a streak of cyan and crimson light. With a piercing sound, it pierced the burly man's leg at a speed far exceeding the man's escape speed.

"Ugh—!"

The burly man's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, emitting a short, piercing scream.

He collapsed heavily to the ground, the excruciating pain rendering him speechless, only able to gasp for breath.

Lu Qingfeng's throw, imbued with his last bit of spiritual power, not only pierced his thigh but also damaged his leg bone with its violent force, rendering him completely incapacitated.
