Chapter 218: Overlord Arrives and Discusses Martial Arts

With the rise of Xuanzhen Temple, some sects in Tianquan County fell into decline, while some sects benefited greatly.

Especially with regard to the spread of Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts, many sects and warriors in Tianquan County were the pioneers and practitioners of this way.

In addition, the mission system of Xuanzhen Temple provides not only martial arts to the outside world, but also various elixirs and spiritual blood required for cultivation.

Therefore, although Xuanzhen Temple is at the forefront, its performance is not very obvious, but in fact, the strength of the warriors in the entire Tianquan County is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The floor sliding door is definitely one of the representatives.

The original Di Shuangmen was very small, with only three generations of inheritance and only 20 to 30 disciples.

Although the sect’s signature martial art, the ground-breaking sword technique, is quite powerful, it focuses on the lower three routes and requires rolling on the ground, which has a bad image and is disliked by many people.

Especially those wealthy landlords!

They would rather send their family members to less powerful martial arts schools than watch them crawling on the ground.

Therefore, the people that the Ditanmen could recruit were all children from farming families or the lower class people who could not make a living.

But the cohesion of this sect is still good. Although it calls itself a sect, it actually follows the path of a gang. It guards a street and protects a group of people, so it is quite famous.

The most correct thing they did was that when Chu Zhou was performing a sermon last time, Sect Leader Bai went up to him directly, contributed his martial arts and demonstrated it.

The result was that Chu Zhou helped him modify his own Di Tang sword technique, which not only made it a complete system, but also was extremely suitable for their training needs.

Most importantly, it made a name for itself.

Then, the Ditan Sect entered a period of explosive growth and even found a talented disciple.

He had arms and waist as strong as an ape and wasp as well as extraordinary talent. He developed a dominant body in a very short time, which was rare even in the whole Tianquan County.

With these kinds of bonuses, Ditanmen is no longer the small sect it used to be. It now has over a hundred formal disciples and controls both the black and white sides of a city.

They attached great importance to the order from Xuanzhen Temple. They called back their disciples immediately and arranged heavy patrols.

As for the effect, there was one. The men in black originally wanted to launch a night attack and take the enemy quietly, but they were discovered just at the beginning.

However, in the face of absolute strength, the Di Sliding Gate still suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, it was the old white man who threw away all his secret books and experiences, which made the group of men in black retreat.

But things can’t end like this.

Therefore, Xuanzhen Temple got the news immediately and reported the matter to Chu Zhou. He knew that this kind of evil trend must not be encouraged.

Therefore, an order was sent to all the sects in Tianquan County to hunt down these men in black relentlessly, or at least delay their actions.

On the other hand, at Xuanzhen Temple, three of the twelve teams had already set out, and Yi Huai, who was in seclusion, was also called out.

Their mission is to keep this group of people here, at all costs. It doesn’t really matter what the “Earth Trample Sword Technique” is, but this kind of atmosphere must never be allowed to develop.

With the entry of Xuanzhen Temple, those men in black could no longer hide their whereabouts, and after capturing several of them alive, their identities were exposed.

These people came from Feipeng Palace, which was affiliated with Dongli County. They were one of the three strongest sects under Tiancang in Dongli County.

There is a half-step grandmaster in the sect, so the sect’s strength is pretty good.

The reason why they targeted the Ditang Sect was not only because the Ditang swordsmanship was improved by Chu Zhou himself, but also because the founder of the Ditang Sect was an abandoned disciple of the Feipeng Palace.

The martial arts of both sides have something in common, which makes it easier to modify them.

However, it was too late for Xuanzhen Temple to take action. Although the attacking black-clad man was captured, the complete ground-breaking sword technique was also spread out.

In Chu Zhou’s opinion, this was nothing, but the problem was that it set a very bad precedent.

Not long after this incident, there were incidents of snatching martial arts secrets all over Tianquan County.

As they scrambled, they even snatched away experience, especially the notes recorded by the masters who had participated in the previous performance conferences, which became the main targets of robbery.

On the side of Xuanzhen Temple, the intelligence network in Tianquan County has been fully activated, with twelve teams running everywhere. Xu Cheng, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie were also called out by Chu Zhou.

Then, there were more and more fights among warriors in the entire Tianquan County. Some of those who tried to snatch the secret books succeeded, while others failed.

Moreover, the sects that took action this time were not very strong, at least none of them were at the level of guarding a county.

No one was brave enough to come to Xuanzhen Temple and act recklessly, but the situation was getting worse and worse.

Chu Zhou was annoyed to death, as if there were dozens or hundreds of mosquitoes buzzing around him. He was so angry that he wanted to take action himself.

But he knew clearly that he couldn’t move!

If he leaves, Xuanzhen Temple will be left without a guard. Who knows which major sect will be unable to resist taking action?
To be honest, this is also a manifestation of lack of foundation.

For example, in the Ba Sect, even if Xiong Kuohai came out, everyone knew that there might be an old monster hidden inside.

In comparison, these people, these masters, in Xuanzhen Temple are equivalent to famous brands.

However, Chu Zhou did not expect that even if he was at home, someone would still come to his door, and more importantly, the person who came was a real tough guy.

……

Lone Peak,

Mountain top.

Under the newly transplanted willow tree, two bamboo chairs sway in the wind. On the table, a small red clay stove is boiling, and two cups of tea are emitting a refreshing aroma.

There were two people lying on the bamboo chairs, both looking up at the sky, behaving casually, like old friends chatting.

“I have thought about what measures Ba Zong would take, but I never thought it would be so direct? I never thought it would be you who would come?”

Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly, looking at that resolute face, his expression out of control for a moment.

The resolute face did not look at him, but moved its body to find a more comfortable position, and said: “People are always curious. A figure like you has appeared in my Ba Zong territory, so I naturally want to meet you.”

“Then I’m really flattered!”

Chu Zhou also turned around and looked at the clouds in the sky, and said, “So, you are here to kill me?”

Just a few words made the world seem quiet.

The wind stopped, the clouds disappeared, and it seemed as if a storm was brewing in the quiet air.

Until Xiong Kuohai’s voice came slowly: “Maybe!

If our conversation is not pleasant, I will really take action and cut out a potential enemy for Ba Zong before you really grow up.

Of course, if we have a pleasant chat, I will choose to let you go, and we will talk about the future in the future.”

“Is what the Overlord said true?”

“When the Overlord speaks, his words are as good as gold!”

“That’s good, that’s good!”

Chu Zhou relaxed immediately, and he straightened up. He took a few gulps of the slightly cooled tea, and then said, “So there is still room for recovery. I can still breathe deeply. Not bad!”

Looking up again, Chu Zhou looked at Xiong Kuohai and said, “Overlord, would you like to try the tea from my Xuanzhen Temple?”

“Are you okay with this?”

“In life, besides cultivation and intrigue, you have to find something interesting to do, otherwise life will be so boring!

I love tea tasting.”

“Then let me try it!”

Xiong Kuohai also sat up, picked up the teacup, took a sip, then took a big gulp, seeming very satisfied.

Chu Zhou asked: “My tea is pretty good, right?”

“I don’t know much about tea, so I didn’t taste anything special.”

“Then why are you nodding?”

“Because I can confirm that there is no poison in this tea, so I am satisfied.”

Chu Zhou was so confused that he didn’t know what to say. After a long while, he finally managed to say, “Your standard of satisfaction is really low!”

Xiong Kuohai seemed very happy to see his embarrassing look, and said: “Look at you now, you look a bit like a young man.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?”

Chu Zhou brought the topic back. He thought Xiong Kuo was going to talk about the general situation of the world, Ba Zong and Xuan Zhen Guan, Chi Shui Prefecture and Tian Quan County.
Or, they may directly make some very demanding requests.

But what he didn’t expect was that Xiong Kuohai turned his head and looked at him with sparkling eyes, saying: “Of course I want to talk about the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple!

Tell me first, what was your original intention in spreading this almost revolutionary martial arts concept? “

“You came all the way to my Xuanzhen Temple just to know this?”

“Is it not possible?” “Yes! Of course! You can talk about whatever you want!”

What could Chu Zhou say? He could only organize his words and said, “I told the public that the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple is not complete and needs to be supplemented by the strength of martial artists all over the world.

This statement is only three-tenths true, the other seven-tenths are false!

I am not in a position to tell you the specific reasons, nor can I explain them, but I do need to spread my military power throughout the world, and I need warriors to further improve and grow.

And there is nothing better than the iteration of the martial arts system, so I took the initiative to leak the new martial arts concept.

Then, we have the current situation.”

“What you said is actually true!” Xiong Kuohai stared at Chu Zhou’s eyes closely and made a judgment after a moment.

Then, he asked again: “Then is the philosophy of the Body Tempering Martial Arts that you spread biased?”

“of course not!”

“Are there any omissions?”

“Of course not!”

“Is there any hidden place that is subject to you?”

“Definitely not!”

Chu Zhou was anxious: “Hey, Overlord, can you please stop thinking such bad things about people?”

“I think so because I’ve seen worse than this!

The human heart is treacherous and unpredictable. I just didn’t expect that you really didn’t have any hidden tricks. It really surprises me.

So, you got something better?”

“In terms of martial arts, no! You also know that besides martial arts, I am also proficient in secret arts.”

“I didn’t lie!”

Xiong Kuohai could no longer hold back the surprise in his eyes, and said, “In that case, then show it to me. I want to see how far you can go on this path.”

“You really want to see it?”

“I’m here, so of course I have to see it!”

“it is good!”

Chu Zhou didn’t waste any more words. His blood and energy rose up into the sky like a smoke screen, and the sky turned red.

Amidst the smoke of blood and energy, Chu Zhou slowly stretched out his hand and looked at Overlord Xiong Kuohai.

Overlord Xiong Kuohai was stunned at first, then a brilliant smile appeared on his face: “You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. In this case, I will help you!”

As he said this, golden energy flowed out like a substance and transformed into the real body of the Overlord, which was about ten feet tall and stood behind Xiong Kuohai.

“Come!”

“Come!”

Chu Zhou stretched out his hand and clapped without hesitation, and Xiong Kuohai also did not hesitate and made a high-five gesture.

From an outsider’s perspective, it looked like two good friends had reached some kind of agreement, high-fived each other, made a pledge, and given their word!

But it is such a simple action, when the two palms touch together, there is a sound of metal clashing.

Keng!
From afar, a shock wave visible to the naked eye was generated at one point, and then spread out in all directions, turning into tangible waves, causing the sea of ​​clouds above the sky to suddenly become turbulent.

Circles, layers, and lines are so shocking!
But it’s not over yet!
On the solitary peak, Chu Zhou’s body felt numb as if he had been electrocuted, and he stood stiffly in place.

But it was only a moment, and the blood and strength surged, turning into wolf smoke rising into the sky again.

The only difference was that this time, the magic power turned into an ocean, gathered in his hands, and finally formed a dragon claw with fine scales.

Chu Zhou raised his hand again and slapped it again!

Snapped!
This time there was the crisp sound of flesh touching flesh, and Chu Zhou felt the same way, but the shock wave that had not yet subsided was even more ferocious than before.

Above the sky, the vast sea of ​​clouds suddenly began to surge with layers of tides, turning into surging waves and spreading in all directions.

This time, Chu Zhou retreated, his whole body seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and his footsteps stomped continuously, leaving deep pits on the ground.

He finally steadied himself on the edge of the cliff, but he still stared at Xiong Kuohai and said through gritted teeth: “Come again!”

“Come!”

Chu Zhou took a long breath and activated his domineering form. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a muscular giant who was several feet tall.

But this time, the giant did not end up like this. Instead, his height began to compress and his body size began to shrink. Only his muscles, bones, and flesh were beating wildly, as if he were alive.

Then his body returned to its normal shape, except that his right hand had become several times bigger, with distinct bones and tendons, and muscles bulging rapidly, as if it contained infinite power.

This time, even Xiong Kuohai did not dare to underestimate him. True energy surged throughout his body, and his raised right hand grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye. The same tendons and bones were clearly visible, and every muscle bulged.

The only difference was that his skin was a bright golden color, like a big hand made of gold.

Then, the two hands, one blue and one gold, pressed together in mid-air!
That is, the word “collision” is no longer appropriate, because the movement trajectories of the two palms are clearly visible, as if they have been slowed down countless times.

But if you look closely, you can see that it is actually dragging out countless afterimages, until the two palms touch, squeeze, and become deadlocked…

This time, the collision was silent, and even the shock wave was not as strong as before. However, the sea of ​​clouds in the sky suddenly split into two.

A scar spread from one end of the field of vision to the other. The boiling sea of ​​clouds did not dare to cross the boundary at all, as if the sky had a wound that had not healed for a long time.

“It hurts! It hurts so much!”

At this moment, Chu Zhou jumped on the lonely peak and swung his right arm frantically, as if only this could relieve his pain.

Looking at his arm again, the skin was cracked like the earth in drought.

Inside, blood was visible to the naked eye, muscles were torn, capillaries were all broken, and the entire arm was red.

Xiong Kuohai remained as calm as ever, standing with his hands behind his back with a nonchalant expression.

However, upon closer inspection, his expression was a little stiff, and his right hand was shaking non-stop behind his back.

After a long while, when the pain had mostly disappeared, Chu Zhou finally summoned the “Rejuvenation Spell” and “Sweet Rain Spell” tremblingly.

The fine raindrops fell on his body, but did not stain his clothes. However, the necrosis and redness and swelling on his arms improved a lot.

Xiong Kuohai asked with some curiosity: “Is this a recovery technique?”

Chu Zhou replied: “Yes, the effect is quite good. The stronger your body is, the better the effect. Do you want to try it?”

“Need not!”

Xiong Kuohai stretched out his right hand, flipped it over casually, and said, “My problem is not serious!”

Chu Zhou looked at Xiong Kuohai with admiration, then glanced at the intact buildings around him and said, “Grandmaster is amazing. I don’t know how you did it?”

When Chu Zhou took action, he had already made preparations to rebuild the courtyard on the isolated peak.

Last time, he was just practicing boxing to break through the realm and it caused such destruction. This time, it is estimated that not a single blade of grass will grow.

But the reality is, the surroundings are intact and he is unable to do it, so Xiong Kuohai has to take action.

“A grandmaster has his own methods. If you want to know, I can tell you.

However, now I would like to hear more about your understanding of the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple?

I want to know what realm you have reached so far? And how far can you go and how high can you climb on this road? “

At this moment, Xiong Kuohai does not seem like the leader of Ba Zong or the contemporary overlord, but more like a seeker of knowledge on the road of martial arts.

He craves every bit of knowledge that will allow him to progress and grow!

“Then where do I start?”

“We have to start from the beginning. You and I have plenty of time!”

“In this case, I have to start with the shortcomings of my original martial arts and how I try to make up for them.

That was when I first came into contact with martial arts, and I heard that there were four levels: tendons, flesh, skin, and bones.

At that time, I was confused…”

Before they knew it, the two of them were back on the bamboo chairs, sitting face to face, like old friends, drinking tea and discussing martial arts. What a pleasant experience!

Chu Zhou never expected that this martial arts discussion would last for three days!
