Chapter 8: Refining the Bones

  The entire mountain was filled with murderous intent, and everyone stopped their battles to watch this good fight, afraid of missing any details.

  Pang Qingbai, despite having a 100% chance of winning, was extremely mature and not arrogant about his five years of training in the Tiger's Den. He also didn't underestimate his opponent due to their old injuries. If it weren't for the great change that occurred in the Pang family, he wouldn't have had this opportunity to take action.

  He walked towards Liu Suoyun with a serious and solemn expression, his hand grasping the hilt of his sword, while his other hand made a gesture towards the back. Huo Qianshu, who had just stopped her hand, immediately cursed: "Shameless!"

  It's not just the curses of Huo Qianshu that can stop the actions of the Pang family, as a white-robed Taoist nodded slightly, his face extremely serious, gritted his teeth and took out a talisman, loudly chanting: "Purple mist dances in the mysterious void, divine wind has no bounds..."

  Although this cultivator was only in the initial stage of refining his Qi, the talisman he took out was extraordinary. As he chanted, a red glow appeared on Pang Qingbai's body and grew thicker. Although it was unclear what kind of immortal technique this was, Pang Qingbai was originally a half-step Bone Refining Realm expert, and with this protective talisman on his body, he would have at least a 30% chance of winning even against a true Bone Refining Realm master. What's more, Liu Suoyun was just an injured Tiger Seal Realm warrior.

  As soon as Pang Qingbai appeared so steady, a smile spread across Pang Qingsong's face, and it seemed that this match was already won.

  He was just about to watch how Pong Qingbai would take in the willow-like clouds when his face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "Qing Tiao..."

  That was the early stage of the refining period, called Pang Qinghui, who was reciting the driving mantra of this talisman, "Tu Ran Man Jiu Qu", and as soon as he heard Pang Qingsong's loud roar, his heart and soul were shaken. Only then did he discover that Liu Suoyun had already exerted himself to kick the corpse with one foot, and the eight-foot-long spear that Ji Lie Xiong had held tightly in his lifetime had fallen into Liu Suoyun's hands.

  Liu Suizhen grasped the eighteen-foot long spear and let out a loud roar, then this eighteen-foot long spear broke through the air and flew towards Pang Qinghui, it was unknown how much strength Liu Suizhen had added to it, but it was as swift as a swift arrow.

  Pang Qinghui was singing the immortal rhyme with all his might, who would have thought that a sudden change occurred. Just as he wanted to dodge, the long spear had already pierced his abdomen with a sharp whistle, directly breaking through his body and shooting out a blood arrow over one zhang (about 3 meters) high. The yellow talisman fell directly to the ground.

  Liu Suizhuan's throw was truly as if he had the heavens' clothes without a seam, let alone Pang Qinghui, who was so caught up in the moment that he didn't react. Even among the many strong hands of the Tianyi Gang and the Pang family present at the scene, no one expected such a magical shot. Before anyone could even react, the bullet had already pierced through Pang Qinghui's body.

  At the initial stage of refining Qi, cultivators were originally known for their weakness, and their physical quality was not much different from that of ordinary people. As long as they were approached by a martial artist who had reached the level of "Beng Hu Jing" or "Tuo Tu Jing", it would be a dead end. There was no powerful immortal technique to protect themselves, and usually, being hit by a single blow would result in instant death. Not to mention Liu Suiyun, whose accumulated strength had been building up for a long time, with a force that surpassed that of ordinary strong men, just one casual strike.

  Moreover, he was in the middle of performing a spell for Pang QingSong when he was interrupted. This divine technique had already exceeded his ability limit and was only possible with the use of his treasured talismans. Now, the backlash from the Dao law, combined with the powerful spear that had pierced his body, had torn his meridians to shreds. Even if a foundation-building cultivator were present, they wouldn't be able to save his life.

  As soon as he heard Pang Qinghui's loud shout, Pang Qingbai was shocked and lost his composure. This was his old friend and ally, with whom he had collaborated seamlessly for years, defeating powerful enemies time and again. Who would have thought that today he would fall into a hidden pit, and his own protective magic would end up dragging him down as well? He cursed loudly: "You treacherous scoundrel, Liu..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Liu Suizhen suddenly rolled up his knife light and killed him with a loud shout: "Die!"

  Pang Qingbai's mind was greatly shocked, he didn't expect Liu Suoyun to arrive so quickly. With a silver sword raised, he wanted to give Liu Suoyun a warning shot, but as soon as he made his move, two white lights suddenly appeared at the tip of the sword, and his whole body seemed stunned: "Not good!"

  The Taoist technique that Pang Qing had just applied to him was a late-stage Qi-refining technique. If successful, it would have given him a steel-like armor, making him impervious to even sword strikes. However, in an unexpected turn of events, not only did Pang Qing fall to Liu Su's single shot, but the failed technique also backfired on Pang Qing himself, severely hindering his movements.

  If he were to encounter other powerful opponents, there might still be a few chances left, and after three or five moves, he could recover as usual. But Liu Suizhen didn't give Pang Qingbai this opportunity. With a quick flip of his knife, it was unimaginably chopped onto the back of Pang Qingbai's neck, cutting off the head of this half-step Lianhu boundary strongman. Without even noticing that his whole body was covered in blood, he shouted: "Pang family's little dog, who dares to fight me?"

  "Pang family's little dog? Who dares to fight me?"

  He stepped on the corpse of Pang Qing Song, although handsome in appearance, but his whole body was stained with blood, and he had an astonishing record. He first killed Fei Tian Shuang Ling Jian, a pair of Douluo realm martial artists, then beheaded Ji Lie Xiong, and now he directly sent a half-step Lian Jin realm strongman and a Lian Qi initial stage cultivator to hell.

  What's even more frightening is that in the eyes of the Tianyi gang and the Pang family, these five experts are all killed by him in one move. This time, they have encountered a classic battle in their lives, with calculations as old as they are, moves as mysterious as they are, and an offensive as thunderous as it is, almost unprecedented in their lives.

  Thus the young and handsome Liu Suizhong seemed to be as terrifying as a fierce god in their eyes, his mind was taken away, facing dozens of times more people, strong hands standing, but he was just a martial artist who had entered the tiger's lair, yet no one answered his question.

  Huojian Shu held the meteor hammer in his hand, and his eyes were filled with admiration. He didn't expect that Liu Suoyun was so powerful. In a conversation, he killed five strong men one after another. Even if it was himself, a Bone Refining Warrior, who made the move, he might not be able to do it so cleanly. How could such an ability belong to a warrior in the Tiger Fighting Realm?

  Gu Yinghua was also watching with great relish, and if it were a matter of skill, whether it was her master or the several fellow disciples, they were all extremely powerful figures in the world. The martial arts skills that Liu Suizhen displayed were nothing to her, but what touched her deeply was that Liu Suizhen had turned this killing into an art. Every move he made was so precise and just right, not using a bit too much force or too little force, and not only did he use his strength to the limit, but even his calculations were so exquisite, from the very beginning, he had grasped the entire fight in his hands.

  She even discovered some details, now Liu Su Yun's heavy breathing was not because he was declaring war on the Pang family, but because his old injury had recurred. He declared war on the Pang family in order to get more rest and leisure time.

  What a fighting genius!

  By Gu Yinghua's standards, being able to make such a judgment is really not easy at all.

  As for the group of young people who came out from Linjiazhuang, they were all stunned. They knew that Liu Suizhen was very strong and had seen a lot in the outside world. He even had the opportunity to advance to the Bone Refining Realm, but no one expected Liu Suizhen to be so strong that they had to rub their eyes again to confirm it.

  As for the Tianyi Gang's members, they are now regretful beyond measure. If they had known earlier that there would be such a powerful opponent, they would not have taken the risk of offending the Pang family. The people of the Pang family all took in a breath of cold air. What kind of fierce tiger is this Liu Suizhen? This is truly a ferocious tiger! No, it should be a thousand-year-old white-browed demon tiger instead!

  As for Pang Qingbai, he was even more regretful, still lamenting the deaths of the two powerful warriors.

  A warrior who has been in the Tiger's Den for five years and is only half a step away from the Bone Refining Realm is nothing, but a cultivator like Pang Qinghui, who is only in the initial stage of Qi Refining, is an unbearable loss for the Pang family. If it were a few years ago, the Pang family had two Foundation Establishment cultivators and thirty or forty Qi Refining cultivators, and they would discuss whether they would produce a Golden Dan cultivator first or three Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time. Either situation would make the Pang family a true cultivation aristocratic family.

  But since that great change, not only did they lose a foundation-building monk, but more than a third of the Qi-refining monks were also lost. What's more, all the lost Qi-refining monks were among the most promising ones in the Pang family. Now every surviving monk is extremely precious to the Pang family.

  He had only one thought in his mind: "How can I account for this to the master and the elder?"

  "Willow Ruan Yun continued for the third time to declare war on the Pang family: 'Pang family's little dog! Who dares to fight me?'"

  "I'm here!" Pang Qing Song roared: "Liu Suizhen, I will make you beg for death but cannot die, and chop your body into ten thousand pieces. I want to exterminate your whole family!"

  "He was truly enraged: 'Let me show you what it means to be in the Refining Bone Realm!'"

  As soon as Pang Qing-song was killed, Gu Yinghua worried about Liu Suizhen's safety and hastily reminded Huo Qianshu in a low voice: "Uncle Huo!"

  She didn't want a good person like Liu Suizhen to suffer, knowing that the Pang family had brought two powerful cultivators at the Bone Refining stage and dozens of allied troops. Pang QingSong was just one of them, and also the strongest among them.

  With Liu Suizhen's current skills, once he faces the siege of the Pang family and the Tianyi gang, no matter how many abilities he has, he can only be defeated on the spot, not to mention that he is also injured.

  Moreover, Gu Yinghua had another idea. In case Liu Suizhen suffered a great loss at the hands of Pang QingSong, she would let Huo Qianshu, even if it meant disregarding the code of the Jianghu, bring Liu Suizhen back safely - she was worried about this friend and didn't want him to suffer any harm.

  Now Pang Qing Song has killed his way to Liu Sui Yun's front, his sword swooped down, and seventeen sword flowers had already been spilled: "Liu Sui Yun, go to hell, I will exterminate your whole family..."

  A master of the Refining Bone Realm is indeed extraordinary when they make a move. Liu Suizhen is now surrounded by a storm of swords.
