Chapter 15 Counterattack

Chapter 15 Counterattack
"The sword jab was actually perfected?"

Li Qian muttered to himself.

At the same time, he savored a strange and mysterious punch, which seemed illusory and yet real.

“I didn’t expect that the most common boxing technique, the sword jab, could produce such a magical change after perfection. It’s incredible.”

Li Qian was amazed.

Suddenly he swung his fist lightly, his fist was like a sword, his internal energy was condensed, cutting through the air, several times more ferocious than before the breakthrough.

Then he practiced the sword jab again, and was even more shocked.

Because of the perfect level of sword stabbing, the effect of practicing is much better than before. One sword stabbing can actually complete a big cycle.

It used to take several times to do this, but this means that the efficiency of practicing the perfect sword jab has increased many times.

During the practice, the understanding of the mysterious boxing moves became clearer and clearer.

“Even the most ordinary boxing martial arts, if practiced to the extreme, will become extraordinary.”

There was a gleam in Li Qian's eyes.

At this moment, he was no longer so eager to pursue higher martial arts.

Because there is still a lot of room for improvement in sword jab.

That's right.

Even the perfect level of sword jab can still be improved.

After all, the so-called perfection is only relative to the boxing itself.

When it goes beyond the boxing itself, it is equivalent to opening up the upward space and entering a higher realm.

Ever since Li Qian perfected his sword jab, his progress in improving his acquired skills has been much faster.

Basically, you can improve by one point every two days.

Compared with before perfection, it is four or five times faster.

Since Li Qian had plenty of time, in addition to practicing, he began to try to deduce a pure sword technique from sword jabs and punches.

If it was before he perfected his boxing skills, he definitely wouldn't have had this ability.

But after reaching perfection, his understanding and comprehension of sword and jab had improved dramatically.

Through daily deduction and improvement, this sword technique was gradually perfected.

At least in his opinion, this self-perfected sword technique will greatly enhance his combat capabilities.

To this end, he dug out a rusty dagger from a pile of junk in the bell tower, polished it carefully, and made a simple scabbard, which became his personal weapon.

into the night.

The bell tower was dark.

Only a little night light shone through the windows.

From a distance, there came the faint sound of a night watchman's gong.

It's already three quarters past midnight.

Li Qian looked at the information on the system panel and felt fulfilled.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation: Acquired (first level 48/100).

Sacrificial vessel: Chen Bell (Treasure 783/1000).

Martial Arts: Sword, Stab and Fist (Perfect).

The progress of the first level of acquired cultivation is almost halfway there.

It's time to go to bed.

Li Qian lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

He now has a very good sleep quality. He can fall asleep whenever he wants and never suffers from insomnia.

Moreover, he basically only needs to sleep for about two hours a day, which is completely enough.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Li Qian suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't wake up normally.

Instead, he was awakened by a very slight noise.

His hand subconsciously reached for the dagger beside him.

The door was pushed open gently.

A gentle night breeze blew in.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed in like a ghost and rushed towards Li Qian beside the bed.

Extremely fast.

Quietly.

A hand directly grabbed Li Qian's neck.

But suddenly, Li Qian opened his eyes, and at the same time, he shook the sword in his hand and stabbed at the black shadow that was rushing towards him.

The black shadow didn't expect that Li Qian had woken up and would counterattack so quickly. He was very surprised, but he was very confident in his own strength. He turned his wrist, and with the energy in his palm, he grabbed the sword that was stabbing at him.

He was an entry-level warrior, while Li Qian was just a menial disciple who had only been in the sect for more than two years and had not even developed internal energy.

But suddenly, a series of clear bell sounds exploded in his mind, causing his body to suddenly stiffen, and the internal energy he was controlling dissipated. At the same time, his palm grabbed nothing and he felt a slight chill in his chest. Suddenly, his eyes widened.

The next moment, the black shadow let out an angry growl from his throat, like a wounded beast, and a strong internal energy burst out. He shook his palm, tearing through the air and slapped towards Li Qian.

But Li Qian turned over, drew out his dagger, and shrank to the other side of the bed like a loach, and stabbed the black shadow's back with the dagger in his hand.

boom!
The black shadow slapped nothing, and the whole bed collapsed under the powerful internal energy.

But this was only his last attack.

The sword in his chest quickly drained away his strength.

puff!
Li Qian thrust his sword again, stabbing it hard into the back and splitting the bones with a slash.

The black shadow felt himself losing control of his body and fell straight to the ground. The only sound he could make was heavy breathing and gurgling sounds coming from his throat.

Not long after, the black shadow's breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no movement at all.

Li Qian just stood aside and didn't come closer.

At this moment, his hands and feet were cold, his scalp was numb, and he was even trembling a little.
This was his first murder.

When he took action, he was extremely calm and without a trace of fear.

But after he actually fought back, he felt severe palpitations.

Hoo ho ho.
He took deep breaths again and again, forcing himself to calm down.

Li Qian finally calmed down. Although he hadn't completely relaxed yet, the extreme tension he had just felt was gone.

He began to think about the whole process that had just happened.

This black shadow is definitely an entry-level warrior. Judging from the power of his palm, he might even be at the second level of acquired martial arts or above.

Fortunately, he used the invisible sonic attack capability of the sacrificial vessel Chen Zhong without hesitation.

This caused the opponent's body to stiffen for a moment, giving him the opportunity to attack unexpectedly.

Otherwise, if a head-on fight breaks out, the consequences will be unpredictable.

It is estimated that the other party would never have thought until his death that Li Qian had actually reached the level of a master.

Suddenly, he remembered something and quietly went to the door to listen to the noise outside.

After a long time, he concluded that there was no one else, so he lit the oil lamp.

Under the orange light, the situation in the room was reflected.

Li Qian looked at the wooden bed that had completely collapsed and shook his head, thinking that it was probably unusable.

Fortunately, there was still one bed, which was originally slept by Old Song.

Li Qian endured the strong smell of blood and turned the intruder over. He was still wearing a black mask. After pulling it off, an old face was revealed.

"It's actually him?"

Li Qian was very surprised.

It was Manager Zhao from the Miscellaneous Services Hall.

After searching in secret for so long without any results, this person finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to capture him and interrogate him at night.

Unfortunately, this person could never have imagined that Li Qian was already an entry-level warrior.

If you are not careful, you will be killed.

Looking at Manager Zhao's body, Li Qian was wondering what to do with it.

Before dealing with the corpse, you have to touch it, maybe you can get something?
Soon, Li Qian took out a bunch of things.

Three medicine bottles.

A booklet.

A contribution plaque.

A dagger.

A few banknotes.

"Tsk tsk, there are more than 500 contribution points."

Li Qian was surprised when he saw the points displayed on the contribution board.

Unfortunately, after Manager Zhao died, the wooden plaque of contribution was useless.

Only the owner of the wooden sign can transfer contribution points.

He put the wooden contribution sign aside, then looked at the two medicine bottles. One bottle contained Qi and Blood Pills, with nine pills in it.

A bottle of powder. Judging from the label on the bottle, it is a wound medicine used to treat external injuries.

One bottle is an ointment called Jinyu Paste.

The dagger is sharp.

Silver notes, probably a few hundred taels.

Finally, Li Qian picked up the booklet, feeling a little excited. Could it be a martial arts secret book?

Bright Jade Palm.

Li Qian looked at the three big words above and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It actually is a martial arts secret book.

Unfortunately, it is not an internal energy technique, but a martial arts palm technique.
