Chapter 367 - 114: Methods (Part 2)
Fists, palms, elbows, and legs transformed into countless afterimages, almost completely enveloping Fang Zheng’s figure.
Fang Zheng’s eyes were deep, his consciousness empty, and with a casual wave of his single hand, he fully demonstrated the essence of Heart Intent Fist, intercepting the numerous attacks one by one.
Not only intercepting!
Every move by Lin Can carried the unmatched Giant Power of a Great Zhou Celestial Martial Artist, yet now not a trace leaked out, all dispersed.
It was as if in the arena there existed a Primordial Infinite aura field, dissipating all the incoming force, leaving only a slight breeze to lift the corners of their clothes.
Heart Intent—Primordial Infinite!
"Da..."
Lin Can’s feet stamped the ground, and the ground beneath him suddenly turned into soft quicksand, transformed by the mere vibration of Qi Force.
The terrifying propulsion even allowed him to appear in front of Fang Zheng as if by Instant Teleportation.
Shocking Spirit Force!
The extreme speed even broke the sound barrier, the sound lagging one beat behind, forcing Fang Zheng’s expression to turn solemn.
Good!
He secretly praised in his heart, lightly raising a single hand, with fingers slightly bent inward, palm lightning flickered, instantly manifesting into a mysterious thunder-shaped seal.
The palm held thunder, suddenly it was thrust out.
"Peng!"
Lin Can’s body staggered back wildly, feeling an intense Power of Thunder first shattering his Fist Force, then turbulently surging into his body.
"Puh!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, his legs went weak, kneeling directly to the ground, his breath weak, appearing aged by ten years.
Silence filled the arena.
"Ah!"
Steward Lu Wei exclaimed, turning to fled outside the courtyard.
Fang Zheng frowned, lightly waving his hand.
Palm Thunder!
"Boom!"
The overwhelmingly fierce Power of Thunder fell onto Lu Wei from a distance, his forward-charging body exploded accordingly, blood and viscera splattering in all directions.
Wang Qi turned pale, trembled and knelt to the ground:
"Master..."
"Spare me!"
Fang Zheng lowered his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash!
The One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash was never just a Saber Technique.
It could cut people,
it could also cut spirits!
The invisible Sword Intent slashed into Wang Qi’s Sea of Consciousness, instantly obliterating her awareness, her body trembled involuntarily, bleeding from seven orifices, and slumped softly to the ground.
Life devoid!
In the blink of an eye, three people, two dead, one severely injured.
Sun Ping, witnessing all that had transpired, felt his heart pounding wildly, eyes vacant, face bewildered, hardly believing the scenes just moments ago.
He knew the master excelled in Martial Arts, but...
A mere wave of the hand caused someone to shatter into pieces, a glare murdered invisibly, was this truly Martial Arts?
Fang Zheng merely shook his head slightly, somewhat displeased.
The power of Palm Thunder was too scattered, otherwise only Lu Wei’s heart would be shattered, not his entire body torn apart by Thunder Power.
Wang Qi should have died without a sound, not bleeding from seven orifices, indicating that his intent-blade could not instantaneously obliterate the opponent’s consciousness.
These are deficiencies.
"Young master... truly impressive methods."
Lin Can struggled to lift his head, eyes sweeping over the bodies, a bitter look emerging on his face:
"Please make your move!"
Fang Zheng chuckled softly and shook his head, slowly standing up from the bamboo chair, only then did Sun Ping realize that from start to finish, the master had been confronting the enemies while seated with one hand.
"How much does Wang Qi pay you yearly?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Can looked up, eyes flashing:
"Eight hundred taels of silver, with additional benefits on holidays."
"Follow me," Fang Zheng said,
"One thousand taels of silver a year, everything else remains the same, help me manage the business in Zhaonan Prefecture, no more shopkeepers like Wang Qi."
"Yes."
Lin Can lowered his head, his voice heavy, although straightforward by nature, he wasn’t foolish, much less willing to lose his life for someone like Wang Qi:
"Greet the master."
Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Immersed in the inheritance left by Master Jiuyuan during this time, his cultivation had not declined but instead became more profound.
His mind emptied, upon awakening, it was as if leaping from extreme darkness into light.
Almost like a Rebirth.
Strength soaring!
If facing Qian Fusong with his current strength, Fang Zheng was confident even without using Magical Artifacts or Secret Techniques, he could resolve it within a hundred moves.
Moreover...
After this battle, his Qi and Blood surged, seemingly touching some barrier, the limits of the Realm of Six Thunders also loosened somewhat.
Advance to flawless status seemed imminent.
"Sun Ping."
"I’m here, sir."
Sun Ping was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly approached, lowering his head to show respect.
"I want to leave the city."
Fang Zheng spoke slowly:
"How can this be achieved?"
"This..." Sun Ping opened his mouth, face turning bitter:
"Master, at this time, only Shopkeeper Wang can send someone out of the city."
Hmm?
Fang Zheng’s smile froze, turning to glance at Wang Qi on the ground, his face speechless:
"Why didn’t you mention it earlier?"
"..." Sun Ping wore a pitiful expression:
"You didn’t bring it up either!"
"Never mind!" Fang Zheng helplessly shook his head, holding onto a sliver of hope he asked,
"Lin Can, do you have any connections?"
"Master, I just arrived in Zhaonan Prefecture recently, not even familiar with the city’s roads, let alone leaving it?" Lin Can shook his head first, then said:
"However..."
"I know some fellow outsiders, occasionally meeting up, many of whom want to leave the city, perhaps they have connections."
"Oh!" Fang Zheng’s eyes brightened:
"Look into it."
"Yes."
Lin Can replied affirmatively.

"Gulp..."
Ginseng Essence Treasure Protection Soup swallowed into the stomach.
Fang Zheng silently operated Elemental Thunder Skill, like plasma, True Qi orderly circulated within the meridians, refining muscles, bones, and Five Viscera.
Sea of Consciousness,
Celestial Secret Compass slowly turned, many thoughts rising and falling.
Yama formed by Divine Thought stood in the void, treading on the compass, as cultivation base increased, its image became increasingly solid.
Facial features,
were gradually becoming more and more like Fang Zheng.
