Becoming a Saint Starting with the Chasing Wind Leg Technique

Through chatting with Li Lingshuang, I gained a more detailed understanding of the inner city and the outer suburbs.

The outer city of Tianshui City, compared to the inner city, a core area where martial artists gather and resources converge, is indeed like the difference between a remote town and a bustling capital.

The streets here are narrow, the houses are low, and the martial arts schools and shops are much smaller and less upscale.

The air was filled with the lively atmosphere of everyday life, rather than the pervasive cultivation atmosphere and the oppressive aura of powerful figures found in the inner city.

For the vast majority of ordinary people in the outer city, the inner city is an unattainable place.

The towering city walls and the strict guards separated not only regions, but also social classes and destinies.

To enter the inner city, one must either possess extraordinary talent to gain admission to Pingtianmen or one of the three major martial arts schools, make outstanding contributions to Tianshui City, or... possess absolute strength that will make the inner city's forces take notice.

Only by entering the inner layer can one obtain more powerful techniques. For example, Li Ling Shuang's Azure Cloud Sword Technique required a thousand taels of silver just for the Blood Soldier Sword, which was all her savings. Not to mention that the technique itself also required a large sum of money.

Song Jing stood on the roof of his small courtyard, gazing at the blurry outline of the inner city in the distance.

He had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Bronze Skin Realm and was already on the verge of collapse. The medicinal power of the high-quality Skin Tempering Pill in his body was still working, tempering his skin and consolidating his foundation.

"It'll be soon, in the next few days." He felt the increasingly powerful strength and the increasingly resilient defense within him, and his confidence grew.

Since he has left the Flesh Refining Realm, there are very few people in the outer city who can threaten him.

The list of those to be avenged and settled has already been ordered in his mind.

Target: Wang Shilong, secondly Xiao Miechen.

The first name on the list was Wang Shilong from Duan Yue Martial Arts School.

Several months ago, Duan Yue Martial Arts School came to challenge them. Wang Shilong, as one of the best young members of the school, was ruthless and injured several disciples of Zhui Feng Martial Arts School. He was arrogant and domineering.

Although they were eventually defeated, Song Jing never forgot the humiliation.

And this Xiao Miechen injured Senior Brother Zhou and took away his spot, so he must get rid of him.

More importantly, Li Ling Shuang revealed that the Kuang Feng Martial Arts School in the inner city was connected to the Duan Yue Martial Arts School.

As the most outstanding young disciple of Duan Yue Martial Arts School in recent years, Wang Shilong is likely to be sent to the inner city for further training in the future.

Rather than waiting for him to gain a foothold in the inner city and become a greater threat, it is better to eliminate him as soon as possible.

Moreover, this person, like Zhang Wu, has recently broken through at an unusually rapid pace, leading Song Jing to suspect that he is also related to the Blood Fiend Pill.

Eliminating him would not only avenge our humiliation and wipe out a potential threat, but also indirectly strike at any potential audience of the evil pills.

Having made up his mind, Song Jing began to secretly keep an eye on Wang Shilong's movements.

With his heightened senses and stealth skills gained from his breakthrough, he quickly figured out Wang Shilong's patterns of action.

This person was quite cautious in his actions, spending most of his time in the martial arts school. However, every three to five days, he would go alone to a remote mountain forest in the northeast of the city, supposedly to practice a family secret technique that required a quiet environment.

"Outside the city, in the remote mountains and forests... it's the perfect time to make a move." Song Jing's eyes were icy.

Three days later, at dusk.

As usual, Wang Shilong walked out of the side door of Duan Yue Martial Arts School alone. He looked around warily and, after confirming that no one was following him, quickly walked towards the city gate.

He was even more robust than he had been a few months ago, and his gait was steady and his aura was restrained, clearly indicating that his cultivation had improved again.

Song Jing was like a shadow, hanging far behind. He had changed into an inconspicuous gray cloth robe, and his aura was extremely concealed, making him look like an ordinary passerby.

The two left the city one after the other and entered the remote mountain forest.

As dusk fell and the light dimmed in the woods, it was the perfect time to make a move.

When Wang Shilong reached a densely wooded, rugged mountain valley, Song Jing no longer hid.

Windwalk!

His figure flashed out from behind a large tree like a ghost, so fast that he left only a faint afterimage in place, and was already three zhang behind Wang Shilong!

One after another, several leg shadows, indistinguishable from real ones, blocked all of Wang Shilong's escape routes, aiming straight for his vital points!

This sneak attack was swift, ruthless, and completely unexpected!

However, Wang Shilong's reaction was beyond Song Jing's expectations!

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he twisted his body strangely the instant the leg was about to hit him, narrowly avoiding most of the attack. At the same time, he threw a backhand punch, the wind of which was fierce and violent, with the momentum of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, straight at Song Jing's chest and abdomen!

Duanyue Fist·Collapse Mountain Style!

"Mid-stage Copper Skin Realm?!" Song Jing's heart skipped a beat. He hastily changed his move, instantly activating the Golden Bell Shield. A pale golden light covered his chest and abdomen as he took the punch head-on!

"Bang!"

The muffled sound was like the beating of a drum! Song Jing felt a tremendous force coming from him, and his chest felt tight. Using the force of the punch, he drifted back several feet, dissipating the force, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

Wang Shilong also slid back two steps to steady himself, then looked up at Song Jing, his eyes equally filled with surprise and uncertainty: "It's you?! Song Jing?!"

He was shocked not only by Song Jing's sneak attack, but also by the strength Song Jing displayed! The speed of that sneak attack, the ferocity of his leg techniques, and the formidable defense he showed when he took his punch head-on... this was something that the Iron Skin Realm Song Jing described in the intelligence report could never possess!

"You actually broke through too? And... this power, this defense!" Wang Shilong's face darkened. He realized that he couldn't see through Song Jing's true strength. What shocked him even more was that Song Jing's foundation was far more solid than his own, which was forcibly improved through pills.

"Didn't you break through too? Mid-stage Copper Skin Realm, that's fast." Song Jing replied coldly, his mind filled with doubts. Wang Shilong's current aura was indeed that of a mid-stage Copper Skin Realm cultivator, but it was somewhat unstable, clearly indicating a recent breakthrough and an unstable foundation. Even so, it was still astonishing! What made him so special?

"Hmph, enough nonsense! Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep seeking death, it's the perfect opportunity to settle the score from that day!" Wang Shilong suppressed his suspicions, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. Song Jing's rapid growth posed a significant threat to him; this boy could not be allowed to live!

He held nothing back, unleashing his full power at the mid-stage of the Copper Skin Realm, and unleashing the Broken Mountain Fist Technique. His fist shadows were like mountains, the wind howled, and every move was ruthless, heading straight for Song Jing's vitals!

This set of fist techniques is powerful and heavy, known for its fierceness. Combined with his mid-stage Copper Skin Realm strength, its power is indeed remarkable.

Song Jing dared not be negligent and used all his knowledge to the fullest.

The mastery of the Wind Chasing Leg Technique is fully revealed!

Stepping Swallow is agile and unpredictable, weaving through dense fist shadows; Shadow Strike is as fast as lightning, counterattacking at the last second; Flow Breaker is powerful and heavy, clashing head-on with the opponent's fist force; Startling Swan is like a celestial being descending from the heavens, seizing an opening to deliver a thunderous strike!

The shadows of legs and fists collided fiercely, and the force of the impact shredded the surrounding grass, trees and stones!

Wang Shilong grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed! Song Jing's leg techniques were not only exquisite and incredibly fluid, but also possessed tremendous power, causing his arms to go numb with each impact!

Moreover, the pale golden luster on the opponent's body was incredibly defensive; when I struck with seventy or eighty percent of my punching power, it was like throwing mud into the sea!

"Your Wind Chasing Leg Technique... is complete?! And this external martial arts technique..." Wang Shilong couldn't help but exclaim. He knew all too well how difficult it was to master a martial art, let alone to have also cultivated such a powerful external martial arts technique!

What happened next was even more devastating!

After a prolonged and unsuccessful battle, a cold glint flashed in Song Jing's eyes, and he suddenly changed his tactics!

The Wind and Thunder Leg Technique - Wind-Stepping Step increases speed further, making the body's trajectory unpredictable and elusive!

Immediately afterwards, the Thunder Kick exploded out, the leg shot out like thunder, with a piercing sound of air being torn apart, and kicked hard towards Wang Shilong's chest!

"What?!" Wang Shilong's expression changed drastically in shock. He recognized the leg technique! This was the legendary Wind and Thunder Leg Technique, extremely difficult to master! Song Jing had actually mastered it, and even reached the minor completion stage?!

He hurriedly pushed the Broken Mountain Fist Technique to its limit, crossing his fists to protect his chest.

"Boom—Crack!"

The thunderous leg landed solidly on the crossed arms!

Wang Shilong felt an overwhelming force surge through him, his arms throbbed with pain, his bones groaning under the strain, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through two trees as thick as bowls before falling heavily to the ground.

"Ugh!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, his arms hanging limply at his sides, already broken.

Song Jing, seizing the advantage, pressed forward with lightning speed, unleashing the rudimentary form of the Wind and Thunder Combined Attack without hesitation!

The extreme speed of the Wind-Stepping Step and the ferocity of the Thunderclap Kick were barely combined, and the leg shadow, carrying the force of wind and thunder, stomped fiercely toward Wang Shilong's head!

Despair and fear finally welled up in Wang Shilong's eyes.

He couldn't understand how a young boy from an outer city could master the Chasing Wind Leg Technique and also cultivate the Golden Bell Cover and the Wind and Thunder Leg Technique, two extremely difficult techniques to learn.

This level of skill would definitely place him among the geniuses even within the inner city!

"No—!" He only had time to let out a short scream.

"Bang!"

A dull thud rang out, and Wang Shilong's head exploded like a watermelon, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.

The mountains and forests returned to silence, with only the rustling of leaves in the evening breeze and the strong smell of blood.

Song Jing stood there, slightly out of breath.

Killing a mid-stage Bronze Skin Realm martial artist, even with the opponent's weak foundation, still took a lot of his strength. In particular, the forceful use of the Wind and Thunder Combination Strike, which he had not fully mastered, caused his blood and qi to churn due to the recoil.
