My martial arts skill bar can be infinitely merged.

38. Drowned

"Are you unhappy that Fengzi didn't die? Why are you so agitated?" Hu Zi had wanted to beat these people up for a long time.

No matter what Hu Zi said, Yun Niang seemed to have lost her soul, muttering "Still alive, still alive," as if she had gone mad.

Lu Feng frowned. He had taken the time to come here, not to listen to a madman spouting nonsense. He gave Hu Zi a meaningful look.

Tiger grinned maliciously, stepped forward, and said, "If you keep pretending to be stupid, you'll get another scar on your face."

Beauty was Yunniang's capital for survival in the Green Robe Pavilion. If she lost it, her future would be bleak. Therefore, she immediately came to her senses and began to beg for mercy.

"It wasn't me, I didn't do it! Someone gave me money to trick one person into going to Willow Lake in the outer city every month!"

Lu Feng's expression shifted. He hadn't expected to actually make a discovery. He knew that none of the thugs he had tied up could give a clear account, and the final blame always fell on Yunniang, which led to the scene before him.

"continue."

Lu Feng said coldly.

Yunniang looked terrified, but the shock seemed to have brought her back to her senses, and she stammered out her request.

"I'll tell you, please don't kill me, okay? Please, I beg you."

Tiger pulled out a knife and slashed Yunniang's arm with a backhand motion. Blood spurted out, and the pain made Yunniang's mind go blank. She uttered a painful whisper.

Tiger threatened, "You think we brothers made such a big scene today just to mess with you? If you don't talk, I have ways to make you open your mouth. Dozens of us brothers are here; believe me, we'll send you back to your old ways!"

Yunniang was utterly desperate. Her defenses crumbled with the excruciating pain, and she immediately said...

"I don't know. I only know that this person knows people at all levels in Cangwu County, and I've also heard of Yunxia Daoist Academy. He seems to be very familiar with someone there, someone of a very high rank! But this person doesn't like to talk, and I can't find out anything else about him!"

Just as I was about to say something, a sudden change occurred.

Her words became gurgling, as if she had choked on water, and her eyes turned to extreme terror. Her slender fingers flailing wildly, trying to grasp at some straw, but this was clearly an open, dry place.

Tiger was startled and quickly retreated, his eyes fixed on Yunniang.

At the same time, the chilling sensation on Lu Feng's back seemed to be stimulated by something, and it began to spread to other parts of his body.

His expression immediately changed, and he quickly took action to deal with the abnormality of his body. His body suddenly burst forth with a surge of blood and qi, and his muscles rapidly expanded, becoming twice the size of before.

The realm of condensed matter is revealed.

The coldness and the power after solidification clashed within Lu Feng's body. As soon as the two auras collided, the coldness clearly weakened and was quickly suppressed.

Looking up at Yunniang, she looked as if she had been soaked in water for a long time. She was no longer the beautiful and charming courtesan she once was, but a corpse, a corpse that had been soaked until it resembled a giant.

Tiger's face was filled with terror. It was truly against common sense that such a living person had died in such an incomprehensible way.

Lu Feng suppressed the strange movements in his body, his eyes fixed on Yunniang at the Giant Temple, a chill running through him.

This woman was also marked, just like I was back then, and she even heard the Daoist Academy, which seemed to have people involved in the Willow Lake incident as well.

This made Lu Feng nervous. His backup plan had been compromised, and if he reported the matter further now, he risked exposing himself.

Furthermore, today's events will quickly escalate, presenting an opportunity for testing the waters; in other words, I have already exposed myself.

"This is really troublesome."

At this moment, Lu Feng did not regret it. He could not wait until he could no longer suppress his condition before taking action, otherwise the result would not be ideal.

Perhaps muddying the waters is also a way to get closer to the truth.

Before that, I need to go see my master.

Tiger, regaining his senses and with a dry throat, moved a distance away from the female corpse, walked behind Lu Feng, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Lu Feng's voice was flat.

"Ghost disaster."

Tiger's eyes widened.

"Have someone tidy up; you'll stay at my place for the time being."

Tiger nodded: "Okay, I know, leave it to me!"

After saying this, Lu Feng didn't linger for a moment. He pushed open the door behind him, left the first floor amidst the gazes of everyone, walked outside the building, and disappeared.

As for what happened inside, it's none of his business for now. He's gotten quite a bit of information this time, and his understanding of Willow Lake isn't as vague as it used to be.

The main hall of the Taoist temple.

Lu Feng stayed inside for a long time, and after receiving instruction, he memorized the basic skills of the Guardian Dao Technique.

When this matter was mentioned to his master, Master Xuan Yin remained calm and composed, only replying, "Cultivate well, and come find me again when the Yin Cold can no longer be suppressed."

Lu Feng didn't ask any more questions. After answering, he left the academy. As long as his master was there to back him up, everything would be fine. After all, as the person with the highest position in the academy, his strength should also be the strongest.

In Cangwu, Xuan Yin is definitely one of the giants.

In this way, the incident of the brothel water corpse that had occurred to the outside world was completely suppressed through layers of cover-up.

For ordinary people, it was all too common for people to die from ghostly possession, and the matter did not cause a stir in the outer city.

Several days later, Hu Zi also returned to his own residence from Lu Feng's house, and it seemed that no problems had arisen for everyone.

Life gradually calmed down, but for Lu Feng, this was the greatest turmoil.

In the training hall, on the wooden board, Lu Feng swung his hands, his form and spirit in perfect harmony, his fighting style fast and urgent, frequently creating aerial attacks in the air.

The single-character fighting style consists of five moves. Each move is not difficult on its own, but the challenge lies in integrating them and combining the feints and real attacks between the moves.

At this time, Lu Feng was still in the mastery stage, which meant thoroughly mastering and understanding these five techniques and being able to use them one by one.

After unleashing the final move, Lu Feng stopped, feeling his heart pounding and sweat dripping from his forehead. His physical energy had not been depleted; on the contrary, it had been completely activated and become even more abundant.

His abundant energy allows him to withstand intense, high-intensity training, a talent that martial artists absolutely dream of.

His body shape changed instantly. With a burst of power from a specific point in his leg muscles, he lunged forward and, with a whoosh, seemed to have moved sideways out of thin air.

This is the Azure Phoenix Soaring Through the Sky Style. Even with only a slight understanding of it, one can move three steps to the side.

However, this exaggerated speed puts an immense strain on the body. After stopping, Lu Feng began to pant slightly. With his current strength in the Body Condensation stage, he could only manage twenty such small movements without affecting most of his combat power.

This data was obtained under calm conditions; the actual consumption would be even greater in a real fight.

Just as Lu Feng was practicing the protective magic, Ke Xing's figure had already walked over.

He had been missing for the past few days and only reappeared today.

Upon seeing Ke Xing, Lu Feng stopped his increasingly skillful protective technique and said a sentence to Ke Xing.
