Blood Wolf laughed, with a forward charge he appeared in front of Shen Wang, seemingly not wanting to give him any time to cast spells, and made evasive maneuvers, lowering his body to deliver a side kick aimed fiercely at Shen Wang’s chin.
The set of movements was quick and empowered by True Qi, capable of shattering stones with ease.
Facing this close-range reverse hook kick, Shen Wang did not dodge, his palm struck down on the thigh like a knife slicing through the opponent’s Protective True Qi, forcibly severing the leg muscles. If not for the thigh bone being thick enough, it could have been broken.
Blood Wolf did not expect a cultivator’s strength to be so formidable, the simple move made him scream in pain, rendering one of his legs useless on the spot.
Before he could retreat, Shen Wang’s other hand pushed horizontally, and as Blood Wolf instinctively blocked, Shen Wang’s palm had already struck his chest.
His entire body was sent flying with a palm strike, accompanied by the cracking sound of breaking ribs.
Blood Wolf was stunned from the blow, spewing a mouthful of blood while flying backward. As he regained his senses, he flipped his hand, and several blood-colored darts were suddenly thrown.
As he fell to the ground, Shen Wang sidestepped, dodging the darts flying head-on. One of the darts hit the Paper Kite, but the Silver Radiance Talisman blocked it, causing the entire light barrier to violently distort, indicating that Blood Wolf’s darts were not simple.
As the darts were deflected by the talisman and landed on the ground, Shen Wang already appeared beside the fallen Blood Wolf, stomping down with his foot.
The ground sank sharply, leaving a footprint, Blood Wolf narrowly dodged.
This person was ruthless as well, attacking with a palm on Shen Wang’s calf while evading, trying to hinder his movement to prevent pursuit.
With a dull sound, Shen Wang’s pants shattered, revealing his calf, the blood-colored palm force landed on it but was blocked by a layer of treasure light.
This made him widen his eyes, screaming in his heart: "Impossible!"
Failing to injure Shen Wang, he lost his opportunity and was stomped on, his other leg crushed with a crack.
Compared to the muscle being forcibly severed by Shen Wang earlier, this was a comminuted fracture, with the knee part directly twisted and deformed, caving in backward into the soil.
In pain, Blood Wolf could still retaliate, flinging his garments to shoot a handful of silver needles towards Shen Wang’s face.
Shen Wang frowned and dodged, stomping down again, two cracking sounds as the latter’s two arms were brutally broken.
Blood Wolf screamed and begged for mercy.
Shen Wang didn’t even look, turning to the Paper Kite stunned by his thunderous means of crippling Blood Wolf, saying: "What’s this person’s background?"
Paper Kite trembled, hastily answered: "This person is a desperado, committing all sorts of evil, without any background."
"No! I am actually..."
Shen Wang casually broke a tree branch, infused it with Spiritual Power, and directly stabbed it into his mouth, delivering a killing blow.
Blood Wolf’s eyes widened, filled with terror, unwillingness, and resentment, his body tensed for a moment, then slumped lifeless.
To his death, he could not understand why this cultivator had such a powerful physique, causing him to fail to injure him, dying unjustly.
In facing a cultivator, he did not perish under spells or talismans but died in a brawl.
"Since everyone believed you had no background, there’s no need to reveal your origin."
Shen Wang’s expression was cold, having made up his mind to kill, he would show no mercy.
Seeing the doubt in the other’s eyes, he sneered in his heart.
Who says cultivators can’t engage in Body Refinement?
His Treasure Body had now achieved initial success, capable of handling this guy in hand-to-hand combat, why stupidly chant spells to cast magic?
He crouched to search the body, finding that this person didn’t even have a Storage Pouch, seeming poorer than him.
"Truly has no background, or he wouldn’t be so shabby."
Shen Wang shook his head, finding from his chest three booklets, a handful of golden leaves, two Spirit Stones, and two small bottles.
He glanced at the booklets.
Blood-Transforming Palm, Wolf Step, Hundred Solutions for Hidden Weapons.
They were martial arts techniques, body technique, quite good for martial artists, perhaps a bit useful for him at the current Qi Cultivation Stage.
After tidying up, Shen Wang chanted a spell, Fire Spiritual Power gathered in front, forming a special circuit under the spell’s guidance, resembling a kind of rune.
In the next moment, nearby light brightened, strands of Fire Spiritual Qi from the void gathered under the curse seal and his Fire Spiritual Power’s attraction.
Amidst the crimson brilliance, flames condensed and burned fiercely, quickly forming the size of a fist.
With a flick of his fingers, the rune formed by Spiritual Power sent the fireball onto the corpse, releasing high temperatures, burning the corpse.
Paper Kite watched as Shen Wang brutally killed Blood Wolf and then used cultivator means to destroy the corpse, dumbfounded.
This grandmaster, what’s the situation? Why is his physique more terrifying than Blood Wolf’s, yet he’s a cultivator, seeming contrary to expectations, focusing on Body Refinement rather than Qi Refining Cultivation, swiftly killing a seasoned grandmaster like Blood Wolf.
Recalling the grandmaster’s rough fighting style, akin to a street thug, lacking much method, felt quite strange.
At that moment, a pair of ghostly eyes turned towards her.
Paper Kite felt a chill, swallowing, trembling voice said: "Great... grandmaster, you are incredibly powerful."
"Without you, he wouldn’t have died, nor would I have needed to kill."
Shen Wang looked expressionlessly at Paper Kite: "What do you think should be done?"
Paper Kite felt uneasy under the gaze, hurriedly replied: "Grandmaster, I will keep my mouth shut, won’t speak a word of today’s events."
"Why do I feel the dead don’t talk?" Shen Wang slowly walked towards her.
Scaring her face white, lips trembling: "Grandmaster, he was already an evil person, killing him will cause no trouble, and I won’t bring any trouble either."
Shen Wang stared at Paper Kite, recalling she was from the Yun Family, restrained his murderous intent, said: "I am short-staffed on my side, didn’t you say you’d offer yourself? After buying things, come back with me."
"I’d be more than happy to." Paper Kite breathed a sigh of relief, feeling complicated.
Originally she wanted to follow this man but was rejected. Now after encountering Blood Wolf, amidst the slaughter, she was accepted again.
She couldn’t understand why this man was so cautious, despite killing Blood Wolf and revealing his strength, worried about her leaking?
With his strength, he should receive more respect and resources, yet stayed so low-key, clearly having some unspeakable concerns.
Shen Wang waved his hand, the Silver Radiance Talisman on Paper Kite shattered, he grasped her hand, sighed: "Another woman with no Spirit Root, childbirth is fine, but the children’s future is a concern."
Paper Kite blushed, shyly said: "Husband, my Yun Family has extensive experience in Martial Dao, as long as resources are sufficient, it’s easy to enter the Dao through martial arts."
She adeptly adapted, changing terms when he mentioned this, taking herself as his woman, in fact, her original intent was exactly this.
For someone like her, many women in the merchant guild had been taken by prestigious guests, she retained her chastity thanks to her Yun Clan status, but as she grew more beautiful, she felt eventually she’d lose it, so she acted decisively.
Marrying as a concubine is better than becoming a prostitute.
