The man holding the long hammer uttered with grief, “My Teacher accompanied Mister Weng Si and the rest into the manor and Mister Weng Si came here because he was concerned if you were alive or dead. How can you kill my Teacher?”

Shi Youming shook his head and replied, “Anyone who enters the manor will have to die, how can there be exceptions? Even Mister Weng Si’s powers were taken by me so if I let only your Teacher off, it will mean that I am looking down on him, that I’m not regarding him as a friend!”

The man holding the Thunder God’s weapon mumbled, “He killed Teacher… he killed Teacher…” The man with the long hammer roared loudly, “Let us avenge Teacher!” He waved his weapon and ran forward but was stopped by Zhui Ming, who looked at Shu Youming coldly and asked, “Why are you telling us all these?”

Shi Youming laughed, “Because you have not long to live.”

Zhui Ming said icily, “You want to silence us?”

Shi Youming replied nonchalantly, “But of course.”

Yin Chengfeng sniggered, “You think you can kill all of us just on your own?”

Shi Youming instead looked surprised, “Of course, would I leave someone alive to go and help me spread what I’ve done?” He then added, “Maybe you do not know, but it’s my habit to give a clear explanation before I kill anyone. Brother Yudan will surely remember this habit.”

Cai Yudan felt as if needles are piercing him as he retorted with anger, “Remember my arse, I must have been blind to befriend you!”

Shi Youming looked at Cai Yudan serenely and asked with a smile, “Are you injured? You’ll have to give me your energy first before you die.”

Cai Yudan replied angrily, “I’d rather die than let you suck my energy!”

Shi Youming smiled, “That’s not up to you to decide.”

The man with the Thunder God weapon roared, “Shi Youming, stop talking as if we cannot decide. Today, either you will perish or I will die.”

Shi Youming looked up at him and said with a smile, “In that case you’ll have to die first then.” Suddenly he flew up, his body seems to be floating as he appeared right in front of the man with the Thunder God’s weapon in an instant.

Zhui Ming and Qu Benlei are already on the alert against Shi Youming and once they saw something amiss, they have started their attack at the same time.

Qu Benlei slashed down with his axe.

Zhui Ming’s body is unmoving but his leg has kicked out.

But Shi Youming is just too fast. Before Shi Youming moved, Qu Benlei and Zhui Ming have alreadt struck but once Shi Youming moved, he is already flown over everyone else and landed right in front of the man with the Thunder God’s weapon. Qu Benlei’s axe smashed into nothing and could not retract his axe in time. Zhui Ming didn’t manage to kick him and knew that something’s amiss so he made a somersault and tried to cut off Shi Youming.

Once Shi Youming jumped near the man with the Thunder God’s weapon, the man was stunned and he slashed down with his weapon. Shi Youming reached out and caught his hand, still smiling at him. The other man with the long hammer saw the situation amiss and with his hammer, swung towards Shi Youming’s back. Without even looking back, Shi Youming caught hold of the hammer and threw it back, saying indifferently at the same time, “It’s not your turn yet.”

The man holding the long hammer flew out by more than 10 feet and knocked his head on the wall, unable to get up for quite a while.

Zhui Ming has jumped to behind Shi Youming and saw the face of the man holding the Thunder God weapon, who was facing him, slowly turning from red to white and his struggles gradually getting weaker. Zhui Ming knows that something is wrong, Shi Youming is now sucking the energy of that man so he roared and aimed a kick at Shi Youming.

Zhui Ming’s kick was initially aimed at Shi Youming’s spine but he knows very well that Shi Youming will definitely be able to take the attack so he changed his direction and aimed at his leg instead. Just as he was about to hit him, he suddenly changed his direction again to aim at Shi Youming’s head. His 3 changes are so smooth and remarkable that no matter how highly skilled Shi Youming is, he will have to let go and turn around to fight.

However, Shi Youming did not turn back at all. With his left hand still holding on to the hand of the man with the Thunder God’s weapon, his right hand flipped back and slapped Zhui Ming’s leg, which was aimed at his head. At the same time, he turned his palm around and a huge force surged forward, pushing Zhui Ming back by forty to fifty feet.

By now, the Xin brothers know that this Shi Youming is not to be trifled with and since there is no ‘Secret Manual of the Dragon’s Song’ in the manor, they couldn’t care less about the fight going on and tried to take the opportunity to run out of the hall. But before they could reach the door, it seems that Shi Youming has eyes growing out of his back as he said, “How can I let you escape?” He flicked his left thumb and forefinger and the Thunder God’s weapon flew out with a ‘whoosh’, his remaining three fingers still locked on the man’s acupoint. His five fingers were getting redder, as red as blood!

Surely, there must be a weakness? Thks Jean.

Thanks foxs. He will make a mistake due to his cockyness.

************************************************** ***********

The Thunder God’s weapon which was about 8 to 9 kilos flew straight towards the Xin brothers with just a flick from Shi Youming’s fingers, the speed at which it flew was so fast it’s indescribable. The Xin brothers were unable to dodge in time so they had no choice but try to meet it head on, each pushing out their palm to receive it.

‘Boom’, the Thunder God’s weapon flew out and embedded itself on the stone wall. The Xin brothers were thrown back to the center of the hall from the reverberation and staggered. Zhui Ming said somberly, “Whoever wants to survive today must all cooperate and put up a good fight together!”

Shi Youming suddenly put his left hand down as he held up the limp man with his right hand and turned around to say with a smile, “That’s right, putting up a good fight is correct.” As he said that, he lifted up the man and added, “A pity he only have that much energy in him.” He offhandedly threw the man towards the Xin brothers, who quickly dodged sideways. ‘Bang’, the man with the Thunder God’s weapon smashed against the wall and small pieces of stone tumbled down on the blood splattered wall, obviously dead. Shi Youming sighed, “A pity Bloody Concubine is not here, look at all these blood, what a waste.”

Cai Yunfei stared at Shi Youming’s hands which looked as red as blood and exclaimed in alarm, “Are you practicing ‘Bloody Hand Alteration Skill’?”

Yin Chengfeng was surprised as well, “It’s said that those who practice ‘Bloody Hand Alteration Skill’ will all die horribly, you…”

Shi Youming smiled coldly and answered a little desolately, “By then I will be a world famous hero, although the death will be a little horrible, it doesn’t matter since I will be well respected by all those after me.”

Qu Benlei laughed angrily, “Well respected? Respected your arse!” With a ‘whoosh’, the flying axe flew towards Shi Youming while Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei, with their swords quivering, also attacked towards Shi Youming.

Shi Youming looked heavenward and laughed. Suddenly he took a step and grabbed the wrist of the man using the long hammer and with his blood red looking right hand, caught hold of the spinning axe flying towards him. He breathed out and with two moves of the axe, blocked Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei’s swords!

Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei hurriedly retreated, only to see that their swords have been chipped. Zhui Ming saw that the man with the long hammer is going to be the next victim so with a shout, he flew over with a sideways kick in the air, straight towards Shi Youming.

Qu Benlei roared thunderously as well as he leapt towards Shi Youming! Shi Youming saw the two of them rushing towards him and dare not belittle his opponents. With a wave of his hands he threw the flying axe out at Qu Benlei while he turned his right hand and a vortex of energy formed in the air, flying towards Zhui Ming.

Qu Benlei, by running forward, is akin to running towards the flying axe aimed at him. What a formidable Qu Benlei, even while running he has caught the handle of the axe but he was still thrown a few feet back by the momentum of the spinning axe and almost lost his balance. Zhui Ming was in midair when he felt the hurricane of energy. He dared not meet it head on so he gathered his energy and his whole body became like a falling leave as it turned together with the hurricane and floated a few feet away before landing.

The face of the man holding the long hammer is gradually turning from red to white while Shi Youming’s hand is getting even redder. The Xin brothers look at each other and suddenly flew up, trying to break through the roof to escape!

Shi Youming gave a cold snort as he snatched the long hammer with his right hand and with a ‘whoosh’ sent it flying! The long hammer actually split into two while in the air, each part flying towards each of the Xin brothers. Xin Chou and Xin Sha saw the attack was so swift that they are unable to dodge in time so they had no choice but to meet the attack head on with their arm. Once they made contact, they flew off more than ten feet and even their palms were broken from the force!

Shi Youming was actually able to break the hammer to attack two high skilled pugilist and not only force them down but almost killed them as well. Such internal energy has reached a stage that no one has ever heard of. Zhui Ming knows that the situation is dire and it seems that this time, no one will be able to escape from Shi Youming’s bloody hands.

The Xin brothers failed twice in their escape and this time they were even injured so they were really furious by now. Both of them gave a weird shriek as they each attacked with their single palm. Zhui Ming has seen the Xin Brothers execute their ‘Unique Amputated Arm Skill’ in the tavern, they can use their opponent’s energy to reflect back upon their enemy instead. Shi Youming has immense internal energy so the Xin brothers’ ‘Unique Amputated Arm Skill’ may prove to be his bane. He was overjoyed as he waited to see what will happen.

The Xin brothers attacked with their palms and Shi Youming smiled as his palm went out as well. He did not expect his energy to melt into theirs and suddenly his energy, merged with their energy, is now coming back at him from their amputated arms. Shi Youming suddenly understood what was happening and said with an appreciative smile, “The Xin brother’s ‘Unique Amputated Arm Skill’ indeed lives up to its name!”

He then followed up with another palm attack.

**************************************************
This attack met with Shi Youming’s original energy, which was merged together with the Xin brother’s energy and it was the Xin brothers’ turn to be alarmed. Turns out that when the palms met, not only was there no thunderous roar, the impact was totally silent and the palms were stuck together, no matter how they tried to throw the palms off. By now, Shi Youming’s energy from the original palm strike has disappeared and instead it was the Xin brother’s energy which is slowly being drawn out. Both of them were panicked for they know that Shi Youming’s skill has reached the stage where he can execute the ‘Bloody Hand Alteration Skill’ through the air.

At this point in time, the four Shaolin monks gave a huge roar as four different types of ‘dragon’, ‘tiger’, ‘tiger cub’, ‘leopard’ palm energy struck towards Shi Youming. Shi Youming said with a smile, “This person is useless now.”, and threw the man who was holding the long hammer with a casual flip towards those four palms. A pity that the man has already totally lost his internal energy so how can he withstand the palm attacks of the four monks. His brains splattered and he died on the spot.


At the same time, Cai Yudan also struck despite his pain, his golden thread aimed towards Shi Youming’s elbow. Using the left hand that threw out the man with the long hammer, Shi Youming flicked away the long thread with his thumb and forefinger. Zhui Ming roared and kicked out with both his legs in the air. Shi Youming heaved a long sigh and said, “A pity I don’t have a third hand.” He retracted the palm that was sucking the energies of the Xin brothers to attack and his energy surged out to throw Zhui Ming back by a few feet.

If Shi Youming had physically grabbed any part ofXin Chou or Xin Sha, the Xin brothers would have been dead by now. Luckily Shi Youming was absorbing their energies from a distance so he had no choice but to retract his hand to deal with Zhui Ming. Xin Chou and Xin Sha hurriedly took the opportunity to retract their hands only to feel their blood flow is very unstable and their internal energy is half gone, shocking indeed!

Shi Youming looked at Zhui Ming and said with a wry smile, “Seems like your martial arts is the best, you’re the only one who can give me a slight headache.”

Zhui Ming landed but the palm attack left him with a headache so he did not answer but just took out the gourd tied around his waist and downed half a bottle of wine. Shi Youming smiled, “Drinking wine to boost your courage is good.” Suddenly he said to the four monks, “Your turn now.” He suddenly leapt up.

Zhui Ming shouted, “Be careful!”. The four Shaolin monks have started their formation, with four types of fist skills by ‘dragon’, ‘tiger’, ‘tiger cub’, ‘leopard’ attacking at Shi Youming. Shi Youming used his sleeve to create wind which blew off ‘Monk Dragon’, gave a kick which sent ‘Monk Tiger’ flying, his palm energy forced ‘Monk Leopard’ back and with a backhand, has caught ‘Monk Tiger Cub’, who only felt his internal energy seeping out and his body going numb, unable to struggle at all.

Shi Youming only took an instant to leap over and grab him and at the same time, Qu Benlei, Zhui Ming, Yin Chengfeng, Cai Yunfei, Xin Chou and Xin Sha also attacked with their palms. Shi Youming maneuvered his energy with his other hand and with one against six, forced the six of them back 7 to 8 steps whereas Shi Youming only swayed a little and he was still holding on to the ‘Monk Tiger Cub’.

Ever since they entered ‘Secluded Ghostly Manor’, the opponents they have met were all highly skilled but none like Shi Youming, who uses pure skill and immense internal energy to keep them away. Besides that, he has been sucking the energy off someone with one hand every time he engages in a fight so one can imagine how highly skilled he is. Zhui Ming knows that with the few of them, it’ll be difficult to fight Shi Youming and was thinking to himself, “At least one of us must break out of this place and spread the news of Shi Youming’s evil deeds to the world.” Therefore he shouted, “Break out of this place if you can, we don’t all have to die here together, I’ll be here to keep him off!”

Shi Youming laughed loudly while ‘Monk Tiger Cub’s’ face turned white, already limp. Shi Youming hit out with his palm again and his palm energy hit the Xin brothers who were attempting their third escape.

Cai Yudan has been fatally poisoned and it’s as if insects are crawling over his whole body and he felt utterly miserable. He wanted to help the others but is too weak to do so but on seeing ‘Monk Tiger Cub’s’ eyes start to roll back, he knows that he’s about to die and the disgust he felt for Shi Youming intensified. With a roar, he forcefully gathered his energy and his golden thread shot out again.

It really seems that Shi Youming has eyes growing out of his back as he casually reached out and grabbed the golden thread while his other hand let go of ‘Monk Tiger Cub’. He said with a smile, “You’re useless now” as he grabbed Cau Yudan’s golden thread and threw it directly at the monk’s chest. Cai Yudan naturally tried to pull his thread back but how can his strength be compared to Shi Youming? The monk shrieked and died immediately!

‘Monk Dragon’, ‘Monk Tiger’ and ‘Monk Leopard’ were all devastated as they launched an attack at Shi Youming. Shi Youming flipped his sleeve again and the three monks almost lost their breath. Shi Youming reached out and just as it seems that he’s about to catch the ‘Monk Tiger’, two swords flashed towards Shi Youming with lightning speed. Shi Youming had no choice but to retract his hand but his sleeve was still cut by none other than Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei. Shi Youming said with an icy smile, “What swift swords!” Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei, after their first success, tried to attack again but Shi Youmin struck with his palm and both of them flew back! With Shi Youming’s unfathomable and immense internal energy, as soon as he expels his palm energy, no one can come near him unless they destroy his hands first but who would be able to destroy Shi Youming’s bloody hands?

Zhui Ming gulped down the rest of the wine in the gourd. Shi Youming does not now that this Zhui Ming of the famed ‘Four Famed Constables’, the more he drinks, the braver he gets, the more vicious his attacks and the better his martial arts!

Shi Youming failed at capturing the ‘Monk Tiger’ and suddenly he could feel his palm in pain. It turns out that he was still holding on to Cai Yudan’s golden thread and the flesh that came in contact with it seems to be burnt and there was a charred smell. Shi Youming demanded angrily, “What did you apply on the thread?” Shi Youming knows that Cai Yudan is an upright person and will not put poison on his weapons, which is why he grabbed the golden thread. But he did not expect that because the gold thread was wound around Bloody Concubine’s legs earlier and submerged in the ‘Bone Dissolving Pond’ so remnants of poison remained, which burnt Shi Youming’s left hand.

***********************************************

Shi Youming was furious and pulled Cai Yudan towards him. Because of the intense pain on his left hand, he had to use his right hand to grab Cai Yudan’s chest as he roared angrily, “I wanted to leave you for the last to suck your energy but since you want to come and offer your life, don’t blame me!”

Cai Yudan wanted to dodge but his whole body is itchy and painful so how can he avoid him. She Youming’s palm seemed to be imprinted on his chest and he could feel his whole body getting dense as all his energy is extracted.

Qu Benlei roared and ran over again. Shi Youming pushed out with his injured left hand and Qu Benlei got his fist ready, thinking of meeting it head on. Zhui Ming, Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei were afraid that Qu Benlei will be disadvantaged so they attacked with their palms as well. The Xin brothers saw that everyone is attacking so they both attacked as well. The six highly skilled pugilists is meeting Shi Youming head on for the second time.

‘Peng!’, the six highly skilled pugilists were once again forced back by 7 to 8 steps. But this time, Shi Youming wavered took and took 3 steps back. It turns out that his left hand has been burnt by the water in the ‘Bone Dissolving Pond’ and he can’t recover in time so his power has been greatly diminished. However his right hand is still holding on to Cai Yudan’s chest as he slowly absorbed his internal energy, his hold not loosening at all.

Right at this time, there was a sudden change. Shi Youming abruptly let go of the hand that was absorbing Cai Yudan’s energy and his expression changed as he stammered, “You… you… what have you got in your body?” Everyone suddenly understood. It turns out that the ‘Divine Collecting Needle’ that struck Cai Yudan is extremely poisonous and the poison has been traveling through his body via his bloodstream which caused him intense pain. Now that Shi Youming is absorbing Cai Yudan’s internal energy, he has also absorbed half the poison in his body. By the time Shi Youming realized it, it’s too late. His whole body feels as if snakes and insects are biting him and knows that it is the poison from ‘Divine Collecting Needle’. He hurriedly let go of Cai Yudan to take out the antidote.

All of them heard Yan Wuyou say before she died that her ‘Eldest Senior Brother’ has the antidote and since Shi Youming is the ‘Eldest Senior Brother’, how can they allow him to take the antidote out! On the other hand, Shi Youming’s internal energy is so immense so although he has been poisoned by the poison which spread out in Cai Yudan’s body, the amount is not that much so he can still tolerate for another two hours. But if does not take the antidote, his whole body will feel terrible.

Most of Cai Yudan’s internal energy has been absorbed by Shi Youming but he felt better instead. When Shi Youming released him, he also understood why. He’s the closest to Shi Youming so with a quick flip and his palms extended, he struck at Shi Youming’s chest.

Shi Youming was trying to quickly reach into his robes to take out the antidote with his right hand, and his left hand was injured so he was not prepared for Cai Yudan’s attack. He turned his left hand to stop Cai Yudan’s two palm attacks but Cai Yudan is executing his famous ‘Silk Wrapping Hand’ and with a twist, his palms landed on Shi Youming’s chest with two loud slaps!

Shi Youming’s internal energy is extremely immense but because of his carelessness, he was hit. However, by now Cai Yudan’s internal energy has dropped by more than half so his two palm attacks only made Shi Youming retreat three steps. Shi Youming was furious and his left hand hit on Cai Yudan’s chest. Cai Yudan screamed as he spurt out blood immediately and died!

When Shi Youming retreated, he was unexpectedly backing into the 3 Shaolin monks. ‘Monk Dragon’, ‘Monk Tiger’ and ‘Monk Leopard’ hated Shi Youming to the core so three palms were aimed at his back at the same time. Because Shi Youming was distracted by Cai Yudan, his left hand was busy with the attack while his right hand was still in his robe, he had to retreat quickly to diffuse some of Cai Yudan’s palm attack so there was no way he could avoid the 3 Shaolin monks’ attacks. ‘Peng peng peng’, he was struck thrice.

The 3 Shaolin monks were able to hit him on the first try but they felt as if they have struck a piece of wood. It turns out that although Shi Youming cannot dodge the attack, he concentrated his energy around his back to meet the three direct palm attacks. He could feel as if his blood and internal organs are tumbling around and the poison from the ‘Divine Collecting Needle’ spread out again. He can no longer be bothered about taking out the antidote as he turned around with a furious roar and strike out with both his palms.

‘Monk Dragon’ and ‘Monk Tiger’ met Shi Youming’s left palm head on and the impact forced them to stagger back a few feet but ‘Monk Leopard’ was unable to take on Shi Youming’s right palm attack and the impact made him spit out blood and expire.

By now Shi Youming cannot be bothered to absorb any more internal energy as his focus is to take out the antidote and exterminate his opponents one by one. How can Zhui Ming and the rest not know what he is thinking as this is the best time for them to attack? But in the short time where the six of them staggered the few steps back, Shi Youming have already struck Cai Yudan twice and killed him, received three blows from the three Shaoling monks and killed ‘Monk Leopard’ before the six got them managed to get near to him again.

The six of them charged together and suddenly split up into four groups. Zhui Ming was right in front of Shi Youming while Qu Benlei was behind Shi Youming, whereas Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei were on the right of Shi Youming and the Xin Brothers were on his left. Even though these six highly skilled pugilists did not preplan this, they have been involved in many fights and are extremely intelligent people so they managed to synchronize so perfectly in such a life and death situation.

After killing ‘Monk Leopard’, Shi Youming can feel a surge of pain in his chest. He has killed countless people during the last three years but never ended up in such a pathetic situation. The five blows he took are quite serious and although he has immense internal energy to protect him, it’s enough cause his blood to flow in mayhem. Suddenly he saw a flash of cloth in front and Zhui Ming has landed in front of him. Shi Youming knows that this person is his number one enemy so he immediately extended his hands with the aim of killing Zhui Ming!

A self-inflicted injury thru carelessness .... thks Jean.

************************************************** ********

As Shi Youming extended his hands, he suddenly felt two forces of palm attack coming from his left and the swish of two swords coming from his right!

The two swords on his right were aimed at the acupoints at the center of his palm and his pulse. These are important acupoints in any pugilist and once they are injured, the palm attacks will immediately lose its power. Shi Youming is no ordinary person, his Bloody Hands are like steel and his energy can reach right to the end of his fingertips so with a backhand, he grabbed both the swords. But once he did that, his right hand will be unable to attack Zhui Ming!

As for the two pam attacks on his left, if Shi Youming lift up his arm, his left armpit will be hit so he had no choice but to lower his arm and try to take on the blow, thinking that he will definitely be able to force his enemy back. But this way, his left arm won’t have enough time to attack Zhui Ming.

Right at this time, Zhui Ming suddenly lifted up his leg. Shi Youming thought that Zhui Ming is going to kick him again and he quickly dodged in panic but Zhui Ming was not planning on kicking. Instead, he suddenly opened his mouth and spurted his wine, the thousands of droplets like secret weapons shooting straight towards Shi Youming’s face.

Zhui Ming used the same move when he dealt with Master Wudi in the past and now the dire situation is making him try out this old trick. Shi Youming’s both hands were busy dealing with Yin Chengfeng, Cai Yunfei and the Xin brothers so he has no time to dodge. He was going to retreat when he suddenly felt a gush of wind coming at his back and it turns out to be Qu Benlei’s axe. Shi Youming knows that if he retreats, it’s definitely akin to throwing himself at the axe so he had no choice but to gather all his energy to meet Zhui Ming’s thousands of wine droplets head on!

The shots of wine droplets landed on Shi Youming’s face. Zhui Ming once used the same move at the tavern, where he shot the wine droplets which penetrated Qu Benlei’s sleeve. Now Qu Benlei has gathered his energy to his face and closed his eyes in time so although there were a few hundred red rots appearing on his face, there was no blood but the pain was still very intense!

Just before Shi Youming kept his eyes shut, he was still on the alert against Zhui Ming. Zhui Ming’s legs suddenly kicked out but he is not aiming it at any of his vital points but on his shin. Because Shi Youming’s eyes were closed, he did not see Zhui Ming’s kicks. There were two crackling sounds. The shin bone is one of the weakest bones in the human body and they broke immediately, the pain immeasurable!

Just as Shi Youming was feeling the intense pain, several things happened at the same time!

Shi Youming knows that he will need to use both his hands so he pinched his right fingers hard but by now Qu Benlei’s axe have embedded itself in Shi Youming’s back!

By now Shi Youming’s legs are broken and as he fell, his right hand have released Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei’s swords, threw it backwards and smashed into Qu Benlei’s stomach.

At the same time, because Shi Youming does not know who is the enemy on his left during such a chaotic situation, he just struck out with his palm to attack first but it turned out that the Xin brothers are the ones receiving it. They are using their ‘Unique Amputated Arm Skill’ so Shi Youming’s palm energy, together with Xin Chou and Xin Sha’s energy merged and rebounded back at him from their amputated arms.

Because Shi Youming is suffering from the effects of the poison, his blood is churning inside, his eyes cannot open, his legs are broken and there’s an axe on his back so he couldn’t process what is happening expect feel that there’s an attack coming towards him so he turned his left palm to receive the blow directly, thinking that he will definitely be able to throw his opponent back.

There was a ‘bang’ and Shi Youming ended up on the losing end. The power on his left hand is already greatly diminished because it was burnt and now he’s fighting against his own internal energy, the two opposing forces were able to offset the impact but that leaves Xin Chou and Xin Sha’s energy with nothing to block them. The blow landed on his left shoulder and was immediately fractured!

Shi Youming broke both his legs and a shoulder and the pain was unbearable and at this time, Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei managed to retract their swords because Shi Youming has loosened his hold. But Shi Youming pinched hard on the swords before he let go earlier, Cai Yunfei’s sword long sword has broken into pieces. As for Yin Chengfeng, although his skills are not as good as Qu Benlei, but it’s better than Cai Yunfei so when Shi Youming was pinching the swords, he imbued his sword with his energy as well so although the sword is badly twisted, it’s not broken. Yin Chengfeng went with the flow and pierced the sword into Shi Youming’s right shoulder.

Shi Youming emitted an earth shattering scream. In that short moment, he has endured many injuries in addition to the injuries on both his hands and legs. He opened his eyes fiercely but did not expect Zhui Ming to open his mouth again as another fountain of wine spurted out.

Anyone else who is holding a mouthful of wine in the mouth would have spurted out all the wine in at once but who would have known that because Zhui Ming is such an alcoholic, he has managed to master a unique skill from drinking wine. He can hide all the wine in his throat and spurt them out again and again. As Shi Youming is panicking by now, he forgot about defense so when he opened his eyes, he could not shut them in time. He only managed to gather his energy to protect his face but his eyes were immediately blinded! His face also became pock marked, with red dots all over.

The reason Shi Youming spent so much effort to create ‘Secluded Ghostly Manor’ is so that he can rule over the martial arts realm and becoming the Number One pugilists by absorbing the energy of others. But now that he his blind and disfigured, how can he face others? Shi Youming was furious and anxious and with a roar so loud that the tiles on the roof shattered, he threw himself backwards with such speed and disregard to his life.

Because Shi Youming’s hands and legs are injured, he gathered all his energy and used his body instead, and right behind him is ‘Axe of Guandong’ Qu Benlei!

Is this the end for Shi? Thks Jean.

************************************************** ****

Qu Benlei has earlier suffered a blow from Shi Youming and his internal organs are all injured. If not for his intense internal energy, he would have died long ago. He was going to vomit out blood but now Shi Youming is going to knock into him with his body and there is no way he can dodge. Right next to Qu Benlei are the Xin brothers who are not injured so they should be able to extend a hand to save Qu Benlei. Qu Benlei looked at the Xin brothers only to see their icy expressions, gloatingly waiting at the side to see what will unfold, with no intention of helping at all.

The Xin brothers are extreme loners and because of their handicap, they loath anyone who makes fun of them. In the few conversations and arguments they had, Qu Benlei had called the Xin brothers ‘weirdoes’ and ‘handicapped’. The Xin brothers are narrow minded and vowed to take revenge but they fear Qu Benlei’s skill and Zhui Ming’s reputation so they dare not strike. But now that Qu Benlei is about to be killed by Shi Youming, this is more than what they can ask for so why would they help?

Qu Benlei saw that Shi Youming is coming nearer at great speed and since there he cannot dodge in time, he made up his mind and copied Zhui Ming’s unique skill. He opened his mouth wide and spit out all the clotted blood in his chest right on the Xin brothers’ faces.

The Xin brothers never expected Qu Benlei to spit blood at them and they could not avoid it in time so Qu Benlei hit his targets spot on! Qu Benlei’s internal energy may not be as intense as Zhui Ming but it’s not a small force either. Xin Chou and Xin Sha was caught totally unaware and their eyes were in such pain they could not open them. Right at this time Qu Benlei suddenly dashed over and pushed both of them from behind.

With this push, now it is Xin Chou and Xin Sha falling towards Shi Youming!

Once Xin Chou and Xin Sha realized something is wrong, they do not have the time to deal with Qu Benlei so they could only use all their strength to execute two palm attacks to fight Shi Youming.


The Xin brothers’ ‘Unique Amputated Arm Skill’ may be formidable but this time Shi Youming is not attacking with his palm, but using his whole body to knock into them so there was no way the Xin Brothers can borrow his energy to rebound and they have to meet the attack directly.

Shi Youming is already blinded so he doesn’t know that it is now the Xin brothers with their palms instead of Qu Benlei so he was still charging backwards at full speed!

There were two loud bangs and Xin Chou and Xin Sha’s palms landed on Shi Youming’s back.

Shi Youming continued coming and there were some crackling sounds as the Xin Brothers’ remaining arms were fractured! Shi Youming’s backed into Xin Sha, who screamed and flew back from the impact. The momentum of the two of them falling backwards caused Qu Benlei’s arms, which were pushing them earlier, to fracture as well. With a ‘boom’ the Xin brothers knocked into Qu Benlei and the bones of all three cracked as they fell down together, dead.

Shi Youming was struck four times and vomited a large amount of blood but he also knocked into and killed three persons so one can imagine how intense his internal energy is. But he did not fare any better by knocking into the Xin brothers, because there was still an axe embedded on his back and with the knock, almost half the axe sank into his body,

Zhi Youming was screaming in pain when suddenly there were two forces of palm attack coming down from the top and they were from Shaolin Temple’s ‘Monk Dragon’ and ‘Monk Tiger’.

‘Monk Dragon’ and ‘Monk Tiger’were thrown out earlier when they took on Shi Youming’s blow while ‘Monk Leopard’ was killed by Shi Youming, which greatly saddened the two monks. The close relationship they had made them blind with fury as they sought to take Shi Youming’s life with no fear at all. Because they have lost to Shi Youming before, they did not aim to strike his body this time but directly at the top of Shi Youming’s head!

Although Shi Youming is seriously injured, he can still hear and knows that there are two forced of palm attack pressing down. But his hands and legs are injured and he cannot fight back or dodge. He knows there’s no way he can be spared so he hardened his heart, gathered his energy and leapt up like a bullet to collide into the heads of the two Shaolin monks.

Such a method of using one’s own body as a weapon is something no one has ever heard of or seen before. There were two claps and ‘Monk Dragon’s’ palm landed on Shi Youming face while ‘Monk Tiger’s’s palm hit Shi Youming’s stomach.

The arms of both monks broke and Shi Youming’s head knocked into ‘Monk Dragon’s’ head, which immediately smashed and he died. Shi Youming’s knees hit ‘Monk Tiger’s’ face and he died instantly as well!

Shi Youming fell back to the ground and violently vomited blood.

These few instances of a bloody fight happened within a short period of time and Shi Youming has already killed the 10 martial arts experts like the Two Heroes of Revenge, four Shaolin Monks, Cai Yudan, Xin Chou, Xin Sha and Qu Benlei. If not for the fact that Shi Youming’s hands and legs are injured, or if he still had the use of one arm or one leg, he would not have to resort to using his body to knock into others and kill them which caused him even more serious injury, even Zhui Ming, Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei would have perished as well.

Now, only Zhui Ming, Yin Chengfeng and Cai Yunfei were left in the hall, looking at Shi Youming who is lying on the ground with bated breath.

Cai Yunfei has never seen such a brutal and scary fight and she closed her eyes in fear, not daring to take another look. Yin Chengfeng is also feeling startled, and even Zhui Ming, who has been in countless big and small fights, can’t help but feel alarmed.
