Chapter 80: Seven-aperture exquisite fist
Chapter 80 Seven Apertures Linglong Fist
Zhou You's feet landed on the ground with a graceful posture, and only the slightest sound of stones being crushed was heard.
In front of him was the headless body of the Second Master, lying softly on the ground.
It’s such a relief to see the powerful enemy defeated!
There was a sharp pain in my arm...
Zhou You frowned, the marrow-drilling force was still in his body and had to be removed.
A walnut-sized lump protruded from his right forearm and was trembling slightly. If it hadn't been for the strong force suppressing it, it would have already raged inside his body.
Zhou You gritted his teeth, pinched the bump with two fingers, and the blood spurted out and splashed onto his face.
The marrow-drilling force exploded prematurely, and although the wound was bloody, it did not hurt the inside, which was considered lucky.
Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief and took out the purple gold ointment to apply on the wound.
After resting for a while, he stood up and returned to the mountain temple, looking at the tall bronze bell thoughtfully.
Zhou You was determined to get this wealth worth tens of thousands of kilograms and put it in his pocket.
The good news is that almost everyone who knew about the bronze bell is dead.
"Li Hao!"
The name popped up in Zhou You’s mind, and then he shook his head. Things had not yet come to that point.
The second master's body was still lying outside the temple, and he was also preparing for Zhou You's wedding.
This bronze bell is too big and too heavy to be moved by one person, and it is also not easy to turn it into money afterwards.
Moreover, from what Second Master said, the inscription on the bronze bell is even more precious.
Zhou You saw the inkstone and brushes scattered on the ground, as well as the cloth on which the second master had copied.
A piece of cloth was covered with densely written words, all of which were copied word for word from the bronze bell.
Zhou You didn't recognize the font, but after comparing the two, he was sure that Erye had copied it completely, word for word.
He stuffed the cloth into his arms. There was no shortage of literate teachers in the city, so there were plenty of ways to translate the content.
"I can't take this bronze bell back with me. I have to find a place to hide it. I can find a way to cash it out later and then split it into copper blocks and ship it out."
He walked around the bronze bell a few times and, after confirming that there were no other words, he began to grind off the inscription.
He made a plan in his mind on how to pocket the wealth.
This is a risky move, destined to be carried out secretly without the knowledge of the martial arts school. Once discovered, there will be consequences.
"First, find Li Hao's whereabouts. If he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body."
After Zhou You left the mountain temple, he contacted Li Hao using the sound of a tiger's roar.
Li Hao's condition was not very good. He was called five or six times in a row, but there was no response for a long time.
He must have had doubts in his heart, fearing that the Second Master had set a trap to capture Zhou You alive and lure him out to die.
When facing a strong enemy, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
Zhou You contacted them by roaring tigers, and went deep into the mountains to look for the whereabouts of them.
In addition to tiger roars, the apprentices of Jianxiong Martial Arts School also use very specific symbols and arrangements as secret codes for communication.
In the evening, Zhou You found Li Hao by a stream.
There were no wounds on Li Hao's body, but his face was pale and his breath smelled bloody, and it was obvious that his internal organs were injured.
"Zhou You, did you escape?"
Li Hao was slightly surprised to see that Zhou You was not injured.
After contacting Zhou You yesterday, he was the first to find the mountain god temple, but he was injured as soon as he met Erye.
The marrow-piercing force was like a maggot in the tarsal bone. If his general had not taken off his armor and put on his newfound skills, he would have fallen into the opponent's hands long ago.
"I'm not running away. I'm coming to find you openly."
Zhou You added, "I have killed the Second Master, and our mission is over."
A violent coughing sound was heard, and Li Hao's eyes were full of disbelief. The second master was dead.
The opponent is a master with superb strength and has mastered the technique of exerting force to penetrate the marrow. Anyone who is touched by him will be either dead or disabled.
Such a terrifying enemy was killed by Zhou You. When Zhou You brought him back to the mountain temple and saw the headless body of the Second Master, Li Hao no longer had any doubts.
"Take the medicine first, and we'll talk about everything else later."
Li Hao's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't understand how Zhou You killed the Second Master.
Could it be that his Wind Chasing Triple Technique has been cultivated to the point of being extremely powerful?
He felt a little discouraged. Although the two of them were boxing partners and had been practicing separately, they both wanted to compete with each other.
But judging from this mission, Zhou You has surpassed him by more than one level.
Li Hao's frustrated eyes swept across the collapsed wall of the mountain temple and saw the huge bronze bell inside.
My mood suddenly changed. This is a huge fortune.
Uh!
Li Hao had a premonition of danger in his heart. All the hunters were dead, and now only the two of them knew about it.
If Zhou You wants to keep it all for himself...
He struggled hard for a few times, but his chest ached and his limbs were numb and he couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Li Hao, it's getting late. I'll build a fire and boil some hot water for you to drink."
Zhou You came over with a large bundle of firewood on his back and unloaded it, not forgetting to remind him to rest more.
Li Hao stroked his chest, countless thoughts rising in his head.
He decided to show his hand...
"Zhou You, you have completed 90% of the credit for this mission. You will be highly valued when you return to the martial arts hall. You have a bright future ahead of you."
This sentence reminds the other party that we have a martial arts school behind us and we cannot do things without scruples.
"I was injured this time, thanks to you for saving my life. Li Hao is a person who knows how to repay a favor."
A person who knows how to repay kindness will not be ungrateful. There is no reason for me to argue with you. I am not a threat to you.
"Well, I have something to ask of you. You are my close friend, so please help me."
Hearing this, Zhou You became interested, "We are all fellow disciples, it's just a small thing, just ask me to do it."
"You also know that in addition to the Subduing Tiger Fist, I also practice the Thousand Troops Breaking Evil Fist passed down from my family."
"This boxing style is a martial art that is passed down among the city gate guards. My father has mastered a unique and hard skill."
"It's called... The General Takes Off His Armor."
This hard skill allowed Li Hao to withstand the damage from the marrow-piercing force and earned him a glimmer of hope.
"It's also because I haven't practiced enough and have been working behind closed doors, so my progress is slow."
Li Hao said regretfully, "If I had mastered this unique skill to a certain extent, I wouldn't be in such a mess."
"Now I want to recover as soon as possible, and I need you to help me sort out the power flow of this special skill."
"I intend to orally tell you the steps and tricks of practicing this unique skill. Please help me study it and correct my omissions."
Zhou You waved his hand, "I thought it was something else! It's just a small matter."
Then he mentioned, "By the way, the bronze bell in the temple..."
"What bronze bell? When we came here before, there was only a stone bell."
Li Hao's eyes were clear, his expression was extremely sincere, and his tone was firm.
He then said to himself, "This general's armor was given to my father by the city gate guard as an exception. It is only passed down from father to son. If I am found to have leaked it to others, I will be in big trouble."
"Please keep this a secret for me. This concerns my life and property."
Zhou You was very satisfied with his friend's cleverness.
The two of them reached a tacit understanding. Li Hao gave him a unique skill as a handle to show his determination to keep the secret. Once the bronze bell leaked the news, Zhou You would be able to destroy his family.
Both of them have something on each other and restrain each other. Zhou You has acquired a unique skill, so why not?
"Hey, I accidentally took too much firewood. It's more than enough to boil water."
Zhou You picked up the remaining firewood and lit it, burning the second master's body, "It can't be wasted."
Li Hao looked at the burning fire and couldn't help but shiver.
