Chapter 76

Peng!

The poison expert was about to use his old trick again, holding a blade in his right hand to block while suddenly throwing a clump of gray powder with his left hand.

Unfortunately, he misjudged the power of Lin Sha's spear. His peculiar weapon first trembled, then a massive force suddenly transmitted from the weapon to his hand, causing his entire arm to go numb and lose sensation in a few breaths.

Ah!

Not only that, a bone-chilling pain suddenly surged, making him unable to hold onto his weapon. He dropped it and let out a series of惨叫声, his face full of horror. His footwork was not slow, and in a few quick movements, he tried to escape Lin Sha's attack range.

"Drink!"

Lin Sha's eyes flashed with determination. The spear in his hand bent into a circular arc and then suddenly shot out, directly flinging the poison expert away amidst his incredulous gaze. At the same time, his left hand transformed into a palm, like a crane spreading its wings, and a few chops and swats dispersed the gray powder in the air.

"We won, we won!"

"Kill, kill, kill all the rebels!"

"Brothers, kill them, don't let these bandits escape!"

"..."

Lin Sha was about to press his advantage and directly take down the poison expert, but a sudden wave of cheers and shouts interrupted his thoughts. Turning back, he saw the Yunnan army soldiers jubilant, joyfully wielding knives and guns to chase and kill the collapsing chieftain rebels.

Indeed, just now, the chieftain rebels finally could not hold on and directly collapsed!

The mountains and fields were filled with fleeing rebel troops. The poison expert was quite cunning, mixing into the chaotic fleeing crowd and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Damn, you got lucky!"

Lin Sha cursed, retracted his spear, mounted his horse, and urgently directed his Yunnan army to chase and kill the collapsing chieftain rebels. They pursued for about ten miles, stopping only when they reached the mountain where the chieftain's stronghold was located.

Next, they naturally cleaned up the battlefield, counted the losses, collected the spoils, and captured prisoners. They set up a camp in an open area at the foot of the mountain, sent a swift report to Kunming, and awaited the dispatch of high-ranking officials from the Pingxi Wang's mansion to handle the aftermath.

Indeed, the chieftain rebels had been thoroughly defeated. Although the chieftain managed to escape under the protection of his personal guards, without any troops, he became a toothless tiger, unable to cause any significant trouble in the short term.

Whether to pursue into the mountains or to exterminate them completely was not a good choice, as it might provoke a strong reaction from the surrounding Miao villages. It was better for the Pingxi Wang to directly negotiate with the defeated chieftain.

Thus, the Yunnan Western chieftain rebellion, which had lasted for a year, was finally quelled by Lin Sha leading thousands of Yunnan army and local militia. His mission was accomplished, and he only needed to return and receive his rewards.

Hu Guozhu, the grand general, was very considerate. After the Yunnan Western victory was reported to Kunming, he immediately petitioned for Lin Sha's merits before the old King Pingxi, Wu. He also personally led the rewards and commendations from Wu to the Yunnan Western front-line headquarters, clearly showing his intention to win Lin Sha's favor.

...

At this moment, Lin Sha had no time to care about these matters. He set up camp at the foot of the chieftain's stronghold, hurriedly instructed his battalion commanders to take turns on duty, and assigned patrol and alert duties. Then, he ignored everything and hunkered down in the main tent, carefully experiencing and comprehending the inner family boxing dark force realm he had just broken through.

In the main tent of the temporary Yunnan Western Qing army camp, the large tent was empty except for Lin Sha standing in the center.

Huh, huh, huh...

At this moment, he stood with his feet apart, in a half-step scissors stance, his knees slightly forward. His breathing was heavy, sounding as if a big cat was hiding in his throat. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly clear and powerful.

Through the vibrations of breathing, he exercised the tendons and ligaments of his body, a unique internal cultivation method in inner family boxing.

Starting from the most basic breathing, he regulated his body and mind, and with the assistance of horse stance and power generation, this skill, once practiced to its highest level, would cause a qualitative change in the entire body's tendons, bones, and skin.

At this point, the skill had manifested both externally and internally.

In simple terms, the breath should penetrate the five organs and six viscera. To achieve this, in inner family boxing, it is called "thunder sound body training," also known as the legendary "tiger and leopard thunder sound" in inner family boxing!

In feline animals, especially tigers and leopards, there is always a continuous sound in their bodies, which is the sound produced when their tendons and bones move together. Therefore, in the animal kingdom, the bones of feline predators are particularly strong. In traditional Chinese medicine, tiger and leopard bones are the most nourishing.

The so-called thunder sound is not the loud thunder during a storm but the faint, deep sound that can be heard before a storm, seemingly present but not quite there, small yet profound.

Inner family boxing practitioners learn from nature, imitating the sounds of tigers and leopards. The purpose is to use sound to vibrate the five organs and six viscera, to exercise the hardest-to-train bone marrow, which is the fundamental transformation of the body. Once the skill is mastered, as described in novels, it means a complete transformation of the body, a rebirth.

In reality, such a person would have a blood production function dozens of times higher than that of ordinary people, allowing their physical strength to remain at an unimaginable peak for a long time. In combat, not only would their martial power increase several times, but their endurance and reaction would also reach the highest level, unlike ordinary humans.

However, reaching the "tiger and leopard thunder sound" level is extremely difficult. For inner family boxing experts, achieving this level generally marks them as dark force experts!

Indeed, the "tiger and leopard thunder sound" is the hallmark of dark force!

Previously, on the battlefield, Lin Sha had only reached the dark force realm, slightly able to exert some of the dark force's power. To fully enter the dark force level, he must first achieve the special technique of "tiger and leopard thunder sound" and become a true dark force expert!

Huh!

He slowly exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with joy.

Finally, he had reached the dark force level and consolidated his realm in just half a month. In the future, he only needed to gradually exercise his five organs and six viscera, improving his physical fitness to a higher level, and train his entire body's muscles and strength to a harmonious and integrated state, allowing him to glimpse the realm of inner family boxing masters!

When he was still in the world of Wong Fei-hung, his cheap master had detailed the characteristics of the dark force level to him.

To explain, there is no clear superiority between clear force and dark force!

It is not that once he reached the dark force level, he could abandon the clear force. That is impossible.

Even if he reached the transformation level, which only inner family boxing masters can achieve, he still needed to continue practicing clear force.

Clear force strengthens tendons and bones, dark force trains the internal organs, and transformation force exercises the skin and membranes. These three different forces train different parts of the body, complementing each other and inseparable. This is the greatest secret of inner family boxing for strengthening the body and bones.

At the dark force level, the changes in physical fitness are not yet obvious, but mastering the muscle and tendon force generation method gave Lin Sha another powerful means, and many skills showed new and promising changes...
