Chapter 6

"How can his true qi be so strong?"

Wu Sijiang was filled with shock and anger. The strength of Jiang Nan's true qi far exceeded his expectations, being four to five times stronger than that of someone at the same cultivation level. Even the Qi family disciples who practiced the same Jiang Yue Polishing Wave Technique had far less robust true qi at the same level!

One could say that the strength of Jiang Nan's true qi almost rivaled that of experts like Wu Sijiang in the Qi Refinement stage!

This was Jiang Nan's first time engaging in combat. If he had more battle experience and could control his true qi as well as Wu Sijiang, this move alone would have severely injured Wu Sijiang!

"Great River Accompanies the Tide!"

Just as Jiang Nan's "Bright Moon Illuminates the Great River" move was about to land, his true qi suddenly changed, transforming into "Great River Accompanies the Tide." The true qi surged like the waves of the Yangtze River, one wave after another, each more powerful than the last, surging into Wu Sijiang's body, instantly injuring his internal organs!

Wu Sijiang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with shock. He hastily attacked with the Blood Dissolving Technique, striking seven palms in quick succession, all of which landed on Jiang Nan's chest, sending the young man flying several yards!

Jiang Nan spat out blood, but as he was in mid-air, his body suddenly straightened, landing firmly on the ground like a nail. He then moved swiftly, darting and pouncing like a cat, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in front of Wu Sijiang. His hands suddenly changed their technique, abandoning the powerful Jiang Yue Polishing Wave Technique and instead using the Mixed Yuan Stone-Cleaving Hand technique!

One hand like an axe, the other like a hammer, he chopped and smashed with unmatched ferocity, treating Wu Sijiang like a stone to be split and shattered!

Wu Sijiang was seething with rage. Just a short while ago, he had the upper hand, pressing Jiang Nan like a cat playing with a mouse. But in this brief moment, the situation had completely reversed, with Jiang Nan now taking the offensive and pressing him!

"This kid fights without regard for his life, he's a madman!"

Faced with Jiang Nan's relentless attacks, Wu Sijiang felt a sense of fear. As a seasoned fighter, he was actually afraid of this novice, a situation he found hard to believe.

In fact, Jiang Nan had been struck by Wu Sijiang's Blood Dissolving Technique over a dozen times, his injuries severe. He relied on his true qi to suppress his wounds, and logically, he should have been the one afraid. But the situation had reversed!

"Wu Sijiang, you planned to kill me to cover up your theft of the Jiang Yue Polishing Wave Technique, but I also planned to kill you to cover up my theft!"

Jiang Nan sneered, not at all like a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old boy, his calmness terrifying. His hands moved with great force, and with a single palm strike, he broke through Wu Sijiang's Blood Hand Curtain defense, shattering his defenses completely!

Wu Sijiang's fat body wobbled, and he retreated like a cat, his feet lightly touching the ground as he moved back several yards, quickly heading towards the Qi Family Manor. He shouted, "Jiang Zichuan, you're dead! I'll report to the Inner Manor that you stole..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Nan had already rushed over, following him closely. He was less than three feet away, and with a punch like a hammer, he struck Wu Sijiang's chest. The sound of bones breaking echoed, and Wu Sijiang screamed as his body flew high into the air, falling backward!

At the same time, Jiang Nan leaped up, still following Wu Sijiang closely. His hand like an axe, he struck down, the wind from his palm cutting through Wu Sijiang's clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his white skin!

Jiang Nan's palm finally landed, like a large axe chopping Wu Sijiang's shoulder, severing his entire arm. He then changed his technique to the Jiang Yue Polishing Wave Technique!

"Bright Moon Hangs in the Sky!"

Jiang Nan roared, striking with a palm that sent his true qi surging like a bright moon rising, sending Wu Sijiang flying into the air. The power contained in this palm exploded, instantly shattering his bones and internal organs!

Wu Sijiang's body fell with a splash into the Yangchuan River, swept away by the current and disappearing from sight.

Jiang Nan landed, stumbling slightly, his feet unsteady, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He quickly took a deep breath, using his true qi to suppress his injuries.

After a moment, he finally managed to stabilize his injuries, sighing in relief, but still feeling the burning pain from his wounds.

"Close call. If it weren't for the profound power of the Demon Prison Black Fetus Scripture, I wouldn't have been a match for Wu Sijiang!"

He felt lucky. The Blood Dissolving Technique was indeed formidable, and if it weren't for his practice of the Demon Prison Black Fetus Scripture, which made his true qi far superior in quality, he would have been crippled by Wu Sijiang from the start!

He had seen many life-and-death situations during his escape, and even though he had personally killed Wu Sijiang, he didn't feel much psychological burden.

Jiang Xue approached silently, standing quietly beside him. She said calmly, "Zichuan, how did this battle feel?"

She had only watched, and even when Jiang Nan was in danger, she didn't help.

Jiang Nan thought for a moment, reflecting on his battle, and immediately recognized his many mistakes, his face showing regret. "I lack combat experience, which led to me being on the defensive from the start. If I had the same level of experience as Wu Sijiang, I wouldn't have been injured, and the battle wouldn't have lasted so long. It would have been decided in just a few moves."

Jiang Xue nodded, smiling. "In addition to that, you lack the heart of a martial artist."

Jiang Nan was taken aback. His will was incredibly strong, so why did Jiang Xue say he lacked the heart of a martial artist?

"Zichuan, the heart of a martial artist isn't just a strong will, but a belief."

Jiang Xue's fox tail swayed, and she said softly, "This belief is that any problem that can be solved with a fist should never be solved with words. If talking can't solve the problem, then you should just fight until the other person is dead, giving them no chance!"

Jiang Nan's face turned black. He had never realized his sister could be so violent.

"But Sister Jiang Xue is right. Wu Sijiang clearly intended to kill me, so talking to him would have been a waste of time. I should have just beaten him to death without any nonsense!"

Jiang Nan suddenly realized that his thinking was changing, heavily influenced by his sister, becoming more and more violent.

Or perhaps, he had always had a tendency towards violence, suppressed by traditional moral values, and Jiang Xue was just helping him release it.

"Sister, what if I can't beat my opponent?" Jiang Nan suddenly thought of a key point and asked urgently.

Jiang Xue's eyes curved into a crescent moon, clearly amused. "If you can't beat your opponent, then it's a problem that can't be solved with a fist, and you should talk to them."

"… Fox spirit!"

Jiang Nan was speechless. "My sister is definitely a fox spirit! But what she said isn't wrong. Only the weak try to reason, while the strong just punch!"

"Sister, I've killed Wu Sijiang, and I can't stay in the Qi Family Manor anymore. Let's escape now before they find out!" He suddenly thought of another key point and said urgently.

"Who said Wu Sijiang was killed by you? You're just a poor scholar, how could you possibly kill an expert like Wu Sijiang?"

Jiang Xue's eyes curved into a crescent moon, smiling slyly. "Zichuan, you're still weak. If you escape, the Qi Family Manor will know that Wu Sijiang was killed by you. Where could you run? Could you escape the pursuit of the Qi Family Manor's experts?"

Jiang Nan frowned slightly. Jiang Xue was right, but he still felt uneasy.

"Wu Sijiang's Blood Dissolving Technique is also a good technique. I wonder if the Demon Prison Black Fetus Scripture can deduce this technique..."

He closed his eyes, focusing his mind. The black magic bell gradually revealed the path of the Blood Dissolving Technique. After a moment, Jiang Nan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his blood sinking into his palms, turning them blood red.

"Blood Hand Curtain!"

His palms flew up, striking dozens of times in an instant, the palm forces connecting to form a blood-red curtain several feet wide, emitting a strong bloody smell!

This was the strongest move in the Blood Dissolving Technique, now reenacted by him. If Wu Sijiang were still alive, he would have been shocked to see that Jiang Nan's Blood Hand Curtain was even more refined, strange, and powerful than his original version!

"Not bad. The Blood Dissolving Technique is also a good technique, not inferior to the Mixed Yuan Stone-Cleaving Hand. It must have been rewarded to Wu Sijiang for his contributions to the Qi Family Manor... Oh no!"

Jiang Nan looked up at the sky, his face changing. It was already close to noon, and he had already missed the time to go to the Qi Family Manor.

Moreover, he had been so focused on cultivation and dealing with Wu Sijiang that he had forgotten to eat breakfast and prepare lunch. Now, he suddenly remembered and felt his stomach rumbling.

"The outer manor has more than just Wu Sijiang as a manager. If I didn't go to work this morning, those managers will probably start gossiping and deducting my pay!"

He hurried back to the slums, settled Jiang Xue, and was about to head to the Qi Family Manor when he heard a loud voice from outside, calling, "Zichuan, are you still alive?"

The door creaked open, and Tiezhu's big head poked through, looking around. When he saw Jiang Nan, he sighed in relief and smiled. "Brother, I saw you didn't go to the manor this morning and thought you had been killed by a fox spirit or some other monster."

He chuckled, walked in, and carried a bamboo basket that smelled of delicious food. "I was going to come earlier to collect your body, but my mother said I was talking nonsense and that you were probably just too hungry to work, so she told me to bring you some food. I haven't had lunch either, so I brought some extra. By the way, where's the fox you raised... Hey? Who's this lady?"

Tiezhu's eyes widened, staring at Jiang Nan's side, looking somewhat flustered.

Jiang Nan's heart tightened, and he quickly turned to look. He saw that Jiang Xue had transformed from a fox into a human, standing gracefully beside him. He relaxed and smiled. "Tiezhu, this is my sister, Jiang Xue. We were separated during my escape and only reunited yesterday, which is why I didn't go to the Qi Family Manor today."
