Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

68: The first seatWith that, Qin Jiang’s figure flickered, giving no one time to react.

He instantly appeared before Sun Qianzhao and unleashed a palm strike!

The massive palm compressed the air into a ball, and the scenery beneath it could be faintly seen distorting.

Sun Qianzhao’s expression changed drastically. This fierce and terrifying force, could a human possibly unleash it?!

Without the slightest hesitation, he went all out, his muscles bulging as all his strength poured into his fists, meeting the enormous palm!

Boom!

Fist and palm met, immediately stopping in mid-air. The air distortion caused by Qin Jiang’s palm completely enveloped Sun Qianzhao.

Streaks of fresh blood squeezed out from the cracks in Sun Qianzhao’s skin, then were immediately crushed into bloody threads by the distorted air!

Pfft—!

The immense recoil made him involuntarily spit out blood, and the stalemate was broken at this moment.

Boom—!

A huge sonic boom erupted, and the powerful shockwave directly sent the few people behind Sun Qianzhao flying, causing them to vomit blood in mid-air and fall unconscious before even hitting the ground.

Sun Qianzhao’s body was deeply embedded in the ground, with only his waist and above exposed.

He looked at Qin Jiang with eyes full of shock. How was this possible?! A single palm strike left me severely injured?!

Suddenly, a wisp of Evil Qi drifted past his eyes, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He clearly saw that within the blood-red Evil Qi, there was materialized Evil Qi flowing like sand.

Major Achievement of Red Tiger Fist! A Grandmaster level expert!

”You... you’ve already... Grandmaster...”

Before he could finish his sentence, he had already fainted.

Qin Jiang glanced at him without speaking. It was quite normal for an older person, defeated by a younger one, to feel a loss of Face and feign unconsciousness.

Standing upright, his massive four-meter-tall body was almost level with the eaves, exuding a terrifying oppressive aura, surrounded by Evil Qi.

Whoosh~

A gentle breeze arose, blowing the Evil Qi in the courtyard towards Kong Hai and the others.

The next instant, Qin Jiang had already appeared before Kong Hai, his palm pressing down without any fancy moves.

Just as his palm was about to reach Kong Hai’s Face, he immediately dropped to one knee, cupped his fists, and raised them high, ”Fourth Master, spare my life!”

Whoosh—!

The palm stopped above his head, and the strong palm wind blew across his cheeks, making his skin twitch involuntarily, as cold sweat instantly drenched the back of his neck.

He had no doubt that if he hadn’t decisively admitted defeat, he would probably be like Sun Qianzhao right now, a human plant stuck in the ground!

He dared not look up, only roaring in his heart, ”Is this even human?! Four meters! Four meters! He’s probably some kind of monster, isn’t he?!”

Qin Jiang naturally didn’t know what he was thinking. His gaze passed over Kong Hai and fell on the few people behind him.

Immediately, those few also, like Kong Hai, decisively knelt on one knee, directly cracking the ground, ”Fourth Master, spare our lives!”

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, his figure returning to normal. Just as he was about to say something, his ear suddenly twitched.

”Creak~”

In the silent night, the sound of a door opening suddenly echoed.

Everyone looked over, only to see Lu Xuanwu breathing in the cool night air with a look of enjoyment.

”Inhale—cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough! What’s going on? Where did such a dense Evil Qi come from?”

He coughed continuously, clearly not fully recovered from his injuries, only barely having some mobility.

He leaned on the wooden door, looked up at the courtyard, and then froze.

”You... what are you doing?”

”Gang Leader, you’re not dead?” Qin Jiang asked.

Lu Xuanwu’s expression stiffened, ”Does Fourth Master wish for this old man to die so much?”

”Not at all, it’s just that someone just now sent a message using the Gang’s whistle, saying that the Gang Leader had died, which led to tonight’s struggle,” Qin Jiang said.

Kong Hai, who was in front of him, couldn’t help but shrink his head upon hearing this. Good heavens, Fourth Master, you call this a struggle?

Whose struggle is resolved with a single palm strike? I’m not worthy of that!

Lu Xuanwu looked puzzled, ”Struggle?”

After speaking, he revealed a look of sudden realization, ”So it was for the position of Gang Leader.”

He turned and went back into the house, ”Come in and talk. Elder Sun, there’s no need to pretend to be unconscious anymore.”

As his voice fell, Sun Qianzhao’s body trembled, and then he slowly regained consciousness, ”What happened? How did this old man end up here?”

He pulled his legs out of the dirt and looked at Qin Jiang, ”Ah~ Fourth Master, just now I vaguely heard that Fourth Master had taken the Chief position, and this Elder said that I would absolutely support Fourth Master. ”

Kong Hai couldn’t help but curl his lip upon hearing this, muttering, ”You absolutely support him? Heh, scared into submission, aren’t you?”

Qin Jiang laughed heartily, ”Haha, Elder’s descent from the sky just now was quite an eye-opener for us. However, for now, let’s go inside first, the Gang Leader is waiting.”

”Exactly! Exactly!” Sun Qianzhao also laughed, enduring the aches all over his body to kick Sun Yian and the Deacon awake.

Once inside the house, Lu Xuanwu understood the situation and took a sip of tea.

”So that’s how it is. It was indeed my oversight. However, since things have come to this, it’s fortunate that no one was harmed.”

Speaking, he looked at Qin Jiang, ”Fourth Master, this old man is now severely injured and probably won’t recover for over a month.

In my current state, I’m unable to manage the Gang. How about Fourth Master temporarily takes over for me?”

Qin Jiang pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded slightly, ”Acceptable.”

Lu Xuanwu smiled, ”Good! Since Hall Master Qin is willing, then Hall Master Qin shall take over the Chief position. Does anyone have any objections?”

He looked at Sun Qianzhao, who immediately cupped his fists, ”This old man naturally has no objections. To be honest, yesterday in my dream, I recommended Hall Master Qin as Chief. I never thought the dream would be so accurate! Hahahaha!”

Kong Hai, sitting opposite him, curled his lip and whispered, ”Flatterer, tsk, despicable.”

”Oh? Second Master seems to have an objection?” Lu Xuanwu’s gaze fell on him.

Kong Hai shivered, immediately stood up, and knelt on one knee, ”Gang Leader! What are you saying? I, Old Kong, absolutely have no objections whatsoever! Fourth Master taking this Chief position is absolutely the most suitable!”

Does that even need to be said? He truly fought his way to it with his fists!

If he dared to say no, he’d probably be planted in the courtyard by Qin Jiang later!

”Good, since everyone has no objections, then this old man announces that the Chief of the Red Tiger Gang, a position vacant for thirty years, shall be Chief Qin Jiang!” Lu Xuanwu declared.

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took another sip, swallowing it with some effort.

”There’s one more thing, regarding the cause of my severe injury.”

At this, everyone subtly turned their heads. They had long wanted to know how Lu Xuanwu had been injured.

After all, with Lu Xuanwu’s strength, even though he was now advanced in age, he was by no means comparable to an ordinary high-level True Martial Fourth Layer expert.

One could say that Lu Xuanwu was still the top expert in Black Mountain City and even several surrounding cities, apart from Qin Jiang!

But such an expert was actually severely wounded outside the city!

Who exactly possessed such powerful strength?

Lu Xuanwu sighed and slowly began, ”That day, I received a secret letter from Magistrate Long, ordering me to go to Dahei Mountain to eliminate a powerful and strange entity. However, I didn’t expect to encounter a Bone Army on my way back.”
