Chapter 6: The First Victory

  "How can his aura be so strong?"

  Wu Si's heart was filled with shock and anger, the true energy of Jiangnan far exceeded his expectations, it was four to five times stronger than that of someone at the same level of cultivation, even among the Qi family disciples who practiced the same Jiang Yue Po Lang Jue, their true energy was much weaker than his at the same level.

  It can be said that the true energy of Jiangnan is almost comparable to that of Wu Si Jiang, a master of refining energy!

  This is still Jiang Nan's first time fighting with someone. If he had been through many battles and his control over true energy was as strong as Wu Si Jiang's, this move would have heavily injured Wu Si Jiang!

  "The great river gives birth to the tide!"

  In the south of the river, the bright moon shines on the Great River. This move has just been completed, and the true energy suddenly changes, transforming into the Great River with the tide. The true energy is like the big waves of the Yangtze River, one wave after another, one wave covering another, surging and roaring, rushing into Wu Si Jiang's body, instantly severely injuring his five organs!

  Wu Si Jiang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his heart shocked and frightened. He hastily used the Blood Dissolving Divine Technique to attack, striking out seven palm prints in one breath, all of which landed on Jiang Nan's chest, sending the young man flying several zhang away!

  Jiang Nan spat blood from his mouth, his body suspended in mid-air. His torso suddenly jerked upwards, as if a nail had fallen from the sky and was firmly planted in the ground. In an instant, his figure flashed and he pounced like a cat, striking with lightning speed. Before anyone could blink, he was already standing in front of Wu Si Jiang again. The movements of his hands changed abruptly, abandoning the peerless skill of Jiang Yue Po Lang Quan, instead using the obscure and ancient art of Hun Yuan Kai Bei Shou!

  One hand like an axe, one hand like a hammer, the axe chops and the hammer pounds, fierce and unmatched, treating Wu Si Jiang as a stone monument, chopping it open and shattering it!

  Wu Si Jiang was furious, not long ago he was in a dominant position, suppressing Jiang Nan and beating him like a cat playing with a mouse, but in this short period of time, the situation had reversed, Jiang Nan had taken the initiative and was now pressing Wu Si Jiang down!

  "This kid is fighting as if his life depends on it, he's simply a madman!"

  He faced Jiangnan's relentless offensive with a hint of fear in his heart.

  He, an old veteran of countless battles, was actually afraid of Jiang Nan, this rookie who had just emerged from his nest, a situation he himself did not want to believe.

  It turns out that Jiangnan has been using his Blood God Skill for over a decade, and his injuries are even more severe. He's relying solely on his true energy to suppress the pain, so logically speaking, he should be the one who's afraid, but now the situation is unexpectedly reversed!

  "Wu Si Jiang, you plan to get the Jiang Yue Po Lang Jue and then kill me to silence me. But little do you know that I also plan to kill you to silence you!"

  Jiang Nan sneered, looking nothing like a fourteen or fifteen year old youth. He was calm to the point of being terrifying. His hands opened and closed, his palms chopping down, and with one palm he broke through Wu Si Jiang's Blood Hand Great Curtain defense, shattering his defenses completely!

  Wu Si Jiang's stout body swayed, darting away like a weasel, his toes lightly tapping the ground as he retreated several feet before swiftly heading towards the Qi Wang Fu, shouting loudly: "Jiang Zi Chuan, you're dead for sure! I'll go back and report to the Imperial Court that you've been secretly learning..."

  His words had barely fallen when Jiang Nan rushed over, like a shadow following his form, and was less than three feet away from him. One punch, like a hammer, smashed into his chest, and the sound of cracking bones could be heard. Wu Si Jiang let out a miserable cry as his body flew high into the air, falling backwards!

  At the same time, Jiang Nan also leapt up, still closely following Wu Si Jiang. His palm was like an axe, and with one chop, his palm wind was like a knife. Before his palm had even fallen, the strong gust of wind had already cut open Wu Si Jiang's clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his pale skin!

  The palm of Jiangnan finally fell, as if a large axe chopped on Wu Si Jiang's shoulder, cutting off his entire arm, and then the move changed, transforming into Jiang Yue Broken Wave Technique!

  "The bright moon is suspended in the vast sky!"

  Jiang Nan burst into a loud shout, and with one palm strike, his true energy shot out like a bright moon rising into the air, sending Wu Si Jiang flying into mid-air. The power contained in this single palm strike exploded forth, instantly shattering his skeleton, internal organs, and everything else!

  Wu Si Jiang's body fell into the Yangchuan River with a splash, was rolled up by the river water and swallowed, disappearing without a trace.

  Fell to the ground in Jiangnan, stumbled underfoot, stood unsteadily, and bloodstains surged out of the corner of his mouth. He hastily took a deep breath, mobilizing his true energy to suppress his injuries.

  After a while, he finally suppressed his injuries and let out a sigh of relief, only to feel that the wounds on his body were still burning with pain.

  "What a close call! If it weren't for the infinite wonders of the Mystic Tomb Scripture, I wouldn't be a match for Wu Si Jiang!"

  He secretly thought that he was lucky, and the Blood God Technique was indeed overbearing. If it weren't for his cultivation of the Demon Prison Mysterious Fetus Scripture, the quality of his true energy would far surpass that of the Blood God Technique. He feared that as soon as they started fighting, Wu Si Jiang would be able to destroy all his cultivation in one move!

  He has seen life and death on his escape route, and although he personally shot and killed Wu Si Jiang, he still doesn't have much psychological burden in his heart.

  Jiang Xue walked silently and stood quietly beside him, saying softly: "Zi Chuan, how does this battle taste?"

  Just now she was just watching, even if Jiang Nan encountered danger, she never lent a hand.

  Jiang Nan thought for a moment, reviewing his own fighting energy, and immediately discovered the various mistakes he had made in this battle. He showed a look of shame: "My actual combat experience is too little, so as soon as I started, I fell into a passive state. If my actual combat experience were as rich as Wu Si Jiang's, I wouldn't have needed to get injured, nor would I have needed to fight for such a long time. It would only take a few moves to determine the outcome."

  Jiang Xue nodded her head and smiled: "Apart from this, you also lack the will of martial arts."

  Jiang Nan was astonished, his will was as firm as ever, how could Jiang Xue say that he lacked the will of martial arts?

  "Zi River, the will of martial arts is not just a strong heart, but a belief."

  "The kind of faith that can be solved with a fist, will never waste words, and arguing with the other side for a lifetime will not solve the problem! Since it is clear that it cannot be settled amicably, then directly fight on until the opponent is killed, without giving him any chance!"

  Jiang Nan's face turned black as he discovered for the first time that his sister was actually so violent.

  "But Jiang Xue sister was indeed not wrong, Wu Si Jiang has made it clear that he wants to put me to death, talking to him is indeed a waste of saliva, it's better not to talk nonsense with him and directly beat him to death!"

  Jiang Nan suddenly discovered that his thinking was slowly changing and was seriously influenced by this cheap sister, becoming more and more violent.

  Or rather, he originally had a tendency to worship violence, but was suppressed by traditional moral concepts, and Jiang Xue just helped him release this violent tendency.

  "Sister, what if I'm no match for my opponent?" Jiang Nan suddenly thought of a crucial point and asked hastily.

  Jiang Xue's eyes curved like a crescent moon, clearly smiling, looking very cunning: "If you can't beat your opponent, then it's a problem that can't be solved with fists, so you have to reason with the other side."

  "Fox spirit!"

  Jiangnan was speechless: "My sister is absolutely a fox spirit! However, what she said wasn't wrong either. Only the weak would try to reason, while the strong would just punch their way through!"

  "Sister, I've killed Wu Si Jiang. We can't stay in the Qi Wang Fu any longer. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that they haven't discovered it yet and escape immediately?" He suddenly thought of a crucial point and hastily said.

  "Who said Wu Si Jiang was killed by you? You're just a down-and-out scholar, how could you possibly kill someone as skilled as Wu Si Jiang?"

  Jiang Xue's eyes curved into a crescent moon shape as she smiled and said, "Zi Chuan, you are still weak now. If you escape, the Qi Wang Fu will instead find out that Wu Si Jiang died at your hands. Where can you escape to? Can you escape the pursuit of the Qi Wang Fu's experts?"

  Jiang Nan slightly furrowed his brow, Jiang Xue's words were indeed reasonable, but he still felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

  "Wu Si Jiang's Huaxue Shengong is also a good technique, I don't know if the Moyu Xuantai Jing can deduce this technique..."

  He slightly moved in his heart, closed his eyes and concentrated, the black grinding clock on top gradually floated out the running path of the Blood Transformation Skill. After a moment, Jiang Nan's eyes flashed with precision, his energy and blood sank down, sinking into his palms, and both hands immediately turned crimson red.

  "Blood-stained grand curtain!"

  His palm flew up, and in an instant he sent out dozens of palms, the power of which connected to form a square iron-blooded curtain several feet wide, emitting a strong bloody aura!

  This is the strongest move in Huaxue Shengong, and it's being replayed in his hands right now. If Wu Si Jiang were still alive, he would definitely be shocked to jump up, because Jiangnan Shi's Blood Hand Great Curtain is more exquisite, more mysterious, and more overbearing than his original version!

  "Not bad, Huaxue Shengong is also a good technique, not inferior to Hunyuan Kaibei Hand. I reckon it's because Wu Si Jiang has made contributions to the Qi Wang Fu that he was rewarded with this technique... Oh no!"

  Jiang Nan looked up at the sky, his expression slightly changed, and hastily turned around to hug the fox demon, turning around and leaving immediately. Today's head was already close to noon, and he had delayed going to the Qi Wang Fu to do things for a long time.

  Moreover, being engrossed in cultivation and encountering the matter with Wu Si Jiang, he actually forgot to eat breakfast and prepare lunch. Now that he suddenly remembered, he couldn't help but feel his stomach growling with hunger.

  "It's not just Wusi Jiang who is in charge outside, I didn't go to work this morning, I'm afraid those people in charge will talk behind my back and deduct my wages!"

  He hastily returned to the slum, settled Jiang Xue down, and was about to head to the Qi Wang Fu when he suddenly heard a loud voice from outside shouting: "Zi Chuan, are you still alive?"

  The door creaked open, and Iron Pole's big head poked out from the gap, looking around in all directions. When he saw Jiang Nan, he let out a sigh of relief and smiled: "Younger brother, I didn't see you go to the Wang Manor this morning, so I thought you'd already fallen victim to some evil creature or been eaten by a fox spirit or other monster."

  He chuckled and pushed the door open, walking in with a bamboo basket in his hand, from which wafted the savory aroma of food. He said with a smile: "I originally said I'd come over early to help you with the funeral, but my old mother said I was talking nonsense, that you're probably just starving and don't have the energy to do anything. So she told me to bring some food for you. I hadn't eaten lunch yet, so I brought a bit extra. By the way, where's that fox of yours... Hmm? And who is this young lady?"

  Tie Zhu's gaze suddenly froze, staring straight at Jiang Nan's side, somewhat at a loss.

  Jiang Nan's heart tightened, and he hastily turned his head to look over, only to see that Jiang Xue had transformed from a fox demon into a human. She was standing beside him, looking lovely. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and smiled, saying: "Zhu Zi, this is my sister Jiang Xue. I got separated from her when we were escaping, and we only reunited yesterday, which is why I didn't go to the Qi Wang Fu to do my job."
