Journey Through the Heavens: Starting with Chinese Martial Arts!

On the rammed earth road, the boy rode a tall black horse at breakneck speed, kicking up dust behind him. On both sides of the road were towering ancient trees, lush and verdant, cool and dark, mysterious and mysterious, as if countless wild beasts were hiding inside.

Chen Jueshang placed his halberd on the side of his horse, holding the reins in one hand and leaving the other hand free, ready to pick up the halberd at any time to deal with any emergencies.

Of course, this rarely happens. According to the information he received in the city, the Xuanhuang Guard would proactively clean both sides of the road before each mission to ensure the safety of the trial participants as much as possible.

However, unexpected things can happen. For example, if a powerful wild beast passes by and finds a weak little sweet treat, it will naturally be tempted to kill and eat it.

The probability is very small, but it happens from time to time every year.

The Xuanhuang Division only looks at the results, not the process, and it doesn't send anyone to follow and ensure safety. Although it's cruel, it's the best way to hone talent.

"Bang!" "Bang!" Suddenly, a huge sound erupted from the dense forest on the left. A figure smashed through several thick ancient trees and flew out, rolling onto the dirt road and lying on the ground.

Chen Jueshang stared intently at the figure on the ground, which turned out to be Gongsun Luan, whom he had spoken a few words with. However, judging from her current condition, she was breathing weakly and was on the verge of death, like an oil lamp that could be extinguished at any moment.

The light blue outfit she was wearing was already torn, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, and a corner of purple was even showing on her chest.

Just as Chen Jueshang was about to dismount, he suddenly sensed movement coming from the dense forest on his left. With two "whoosh" sounds, two powerful figures dressed in white brocade robes appeared, each with a large "Chen" character embroidered on the left side of their chests.

"The Chen family?" The moment Chen Jueshang saw the Chen family members, he understood. It was obvious that these two were sent by Miss Chen to get rid of Gongsun Mengli.

"Big brother, there are people here. Should we kill them together?" The muscular man was about to make a move when he suddenly noticed the boy next to him and asked the one-eyed man beside him.

The one-eyed man looked at Chen Jueshang and suddenly felt that he looked familiar. His head turned, as if he had thought of something, and then he burst into laughter: "What a double blessing! Isn't this kid the one that Miss Chen Yuyuan is looking for? Perfect, let's catch him and bring him back for Miss to collect her reward."

A cold glint flashed in Chen Jueshang's eyes. He leaped off his horse, halberd in hand, a question arising in his mind about the Chen Yuyuan the two had mentioned: "Could it be that the young lady of the Chen family is named Chen Yuyuan?"

"So, the Chen Yuyuan you're talking about has a bounty on me?" His voice was calm as he lightly patted his horse's body with one hand and gripped his halberd tightly with the other.

"You go kill that woman, I'll catch this kid." The one-eyed man spoke and then stepped forward with agile footwork, his large hand reaching for Chen Jueshang's arm.

In his eyes, the boy in front of him was nothing more than a mere fourth-stage physical cultivator. Even if he was wielding a weapon, he could easily capture him.

On the surface, that was the case, but the big hand secretly used martial arts, mobilizing his blood and qi, like a great river rushing forward, and his five fingers moved like beast claws.

At the same time, the muscular man pounced on Gongsun Luan, his fist as powerful as a mountain, striking out fiercely, intending to directly kill the severely injured and unconscious woman on the ground.

"Why are you forcing me!" Chen Jueshang sighed softly. He didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble came to him on its own.

Facing the outstretched hand of a powerful figure who had undergone seven physical transformations, Chen Jueshang's eyes flashed with killing intent. His muscles bulged, his blood surged, and his tendons stretched taut like a full-moon bowstring as he wielded his battle halberd and cleaved it in two.

"Whoosh!" The air exploded, the halberd drew out the airflow, and hummed like thunder. The halberd slammed into the big hand, and the halberd light tore apart instantly, and a drop of crystal blood dripped down.

With a "crack!", the bronze halberd snapped in two.

Just as he forced back the seventh-stage physical body cultivator from the Chen family, Chen Jueshang seized an opportunity to throw his broken halberd at the seventh-stage physical body cultivator who was attacking Gongsun Luan.

Then, he slapped the horse's body, and the horse, startled, galloped away. In the instant it leaped over Gongsun Luan, he scooped her up from the ground with a strong hand.

"Bang!" A punch sent the broken halberd flying, and the two immediately gave chase.

After undergoing six physical transformations, the internal organs of a martial artist are strengthened, and the five elements circulate smoothly, enabling them to maintain inexhaustible and powerful stamina. Even during intense long-distance running, they will not experience shortness of breath or chest tightness.

Those who have undergone seven transformations are even more powerful. They have undergone marrow cleansing and rebirth, possessing unparalleled divine power and extremely strong endurance. Even a five-transformation Crimson Blood Horse, which excels at galloping, can be run to death, let alone a mere one-transformation horse beast.

"Kid, you can't escape." The one-eyed man laughed as he approached, chasing closely behind the horse-beast with every step.

The two approached each other from the left and right.

Chen Jueshang glanced at Gongsun Luan, whom he was carrying, his eyes flickering as he considered whether to abandon her. However, noticing the one-eyed man's gaze fixed on him, he ultimately dismissed the idea.

Regardless of whether he abandons Gongsun Mengli or not, the one-eyed man will definitely continue to hunt him down.

"There's really no way to avoid it!" Chen Jueshang said helplessly, but the killing intent in his eyes grew more and more intense. It was as if the Heavenly Tyrant Body in his body sensed his blazing battle intent, and his blood and qi began to boil, his origin surging and his blood and qi surging.

Chen Jueshang took the black bow from his back, nocked an arrow, and fired in quick succession. Each arrow was fully drawn, and the sound of "whoosh" echoed continuously.

But they were all either blasted away or shattered by the one-eyed man and the muscular strongman. Even if one or two arrows hit, they would be deflected by invisible blood and qi.

After running for half an hour, Chen Jueshang felt his black horse gradually panting, clearly nearing its limit; continuing to run would surely lead to its death.

Gongsun Luan is still unconscious.

"You owe me." If he hadn't been on Chen Yuyuan's bounty list, Chen Jueshang would have really wanted to abandon her and run away alone.

After saying this, he adjusted Gongsun Luan's position, then jumped off the horse, clenched his fists, stretched his muscles to their limit, and bulged his skin like a beast's drum, and fiercely punched each of the two who were chasing closely.

The force of the punch exploded and roared, the air hissed, and blood and qi surged like two streaks of blood light. Divine intent was attached to it, and the fist light was domineering.

Caught off guard, the one-eyed man and the muscular giant were startled, but their nerves reacted and retaliated with lightning speed.

They both threw out punches, their fists flashing with power and blood-red light, unleashing a martial art to clash head-on with Chen Jueshang. With their other hands, they either formed fists or palms and slammed them out.

The target is the chest and abdomen.

This time, the two of them held nothing back. Chen Jueshang was in a difficult situation. Since they couldn't capture him back, they naturally had to kill him on the spot to avoid being caught off guard.

"Bang!" "Bang!" Four fists collided. Just as the two men's fists and palms were about to strike him, Chen Jueshang used the force to retreat several feet, his face flushed and his blood churning.

Even with his powerful physique and abundant blood and qi, he couldn't withstand the combined force of two martial artists who had undergone three more transformations than him.

While the two were fighting, the horse carried Gongsun Luan away.

There were only three people confronting each other at the scene.

"We'll kill him first, then chase after the woman and kill her." The one-eyed man said coldly, stepping forward and striking out with his palm, like layers of ocean waves crashing against the shore, the force of his palm overlapping as if it were endless.

The muscular man nodded, his muscular physique resembling that of a giant beast. He pressed forward, his size overwhelming, and threw a straight punch at his opponent.

"Vast Domineering Fist!" Chen Jueshang's expression was cold and stern. His eyes flashed with purple light, his fighting spirit boiled, and his blood energy surged. His arms were like bowstrings. He clenched his fists and punched out. In an instant, the force of his fist was like the vast earth, pressing down on the two people opposite him.

"This is... the nascent form of martial will!?" The one-eyed man's eyes narrowed sharply, his heart filled with horror. His palm techniques became even more ruthless, each move deadly.

To comprehend the rudiments of martial arts will after only four physical transformations—such a person would be considered a prodigy even in a major city.

However, since they have offended the Chen family, no matter how outstanding or talented a prodigy may be, they can only be nipped in the bud and cannot be allowed to grow!

The muscular man was also taken aback, and his punches became even more ferocious.
