Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Who Gave You the Courage?

Within the ancient city.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man strolled leisurely, the city bustling before him, markedly different from other places.

“White Stone City’s stability won’t last much longer.

Once the Divine Martial King’s army arrives, the peace here will be completely shattered.

I just hope the Gu Family will be sensible enough, so White Stone City can be spared the ravages of war.

Otherwise—”
At this thought, the middle-aged man’s eyes grew cold.

Indeed!

He was Sitian.

Under the orders of the Divine Martial King, Sitian rushed to White Stone City nonstop.

However, since White Stone City fell under the jurisdiction of Guangyang Prefecture in Taishan County, and the Prefectural Governor of Taishan monitored the Black Xuan Guard closely,
for safe entrance into White Stone City, Sitian had also paid a hefty price.

Now.

Entering White Stone City.

The stability of the scene here contrasted starkly with that of Dan Yang County.

In Dan Yang County, where war spread, everyone was panicky, hardly able to witness such grandeur.

However—
These were only temporary.

In this chaotic world.

There was no real stability.

Once the Divine Martial King’s army arrived, White Stone City, and even the entire Taishan County, would be devoured by war.

Sitian did not see any problem with this.

The old saying still applied.

The Taixuan Dynasty had decayed.

This world needed a new ruler.

—
As evening fell.

Nighttime.

Gu Qingfeng was refining his muscles and bones, practicing the Gang-protecting Ultimate Skill of the Iron Bone Gang—Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth!

This Martial Art was also considered top-tier intermediate, mainly refining the martial artist’s skin and the powerful energy of muscles and bones.

If perfected to the peak state of Perfection, one could step into the Ninth Layer Perfection of Blood Refining.

Simultaneously.

If Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth reached Perfection, it could considerably enhance a martial artist’s defense, nearly to the point of being invulnerable to water and fire.

Among them.

Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth, like the Fiery Sun Divine Palm, was divided into nine layers.

Ninth Layer Perfection.

That was the Blood Refining Perfection.

Because Gu Qingfeng himself was a Martial Artist from the Bone Refining Realm, cultivating intermediate Martial Arts felt divinely aided.

Within just a few days, he had mastered the First Level to Perfection, and it seemed he was about to begin the Second Level.

However.

Because Gu Qingfeng was from the Bone Refining Realm, mastering ordinary intermediate Martial Arts did not change him much.

In his view.

At least until he stepped into the Fifth Layer of Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth would it bring some changes to himself.

At this current moment in the night, several guards in the Blood Refining Realm held iron rods, striking fiercely against Gu Qingfeng’s body.

His powerful energy was consolidated, muscles on his bare upper body bulging, such that iron rods capable of splitting mountains and rocks merely left white traces on him.

After a long while.

Gu Qingfeng’s entire body’s energy shook, all the iron rods falling onto him were shaken off, and the several individuals only felt a great force transmitted, their bodies uncontrollably stepping backward several steps.

“That will do for today, thank you all for the hard work!”
Gu Qingfeng faintly smiled, having just broken into the Second Level of Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth.

Given his current state, he was not at his limit yet, but the several people had assisted significantly in his training; it was clear they did their best.

“Meng Peng!”
“At your service.”
“Give each person a reward of ten pieces of silver today, as their compensation for hard work!”
“Understood—”
Meng Peng gave a salute and accepted the mission.

The others who heard also showed smiles on their faces.

“Thank you, Family Head, for this reward!”
Ten pieces of silver didn’t seem much to a warrior in the Blood Refining Realm, but one must realize this was just a day’s hard-earned fee.

If this were to accumulate over a month, that would amount to a total of three hundred pieces of silver.

And in a year,
that would sum up to over three thousand.

Even for a warrior in the Blood Refining Realm, earning over three thousand pieces of silver typically wasn’t easy.

Even though they felt completely exhausted, having silver in hand made everything worthwhile.

Just as Meng Peng led his group to retreat, Gu Qingfeng leisurely dressed himself, his expression indifferent.

“Seeing that you have observed for so long, why not come out and meet?”
As his voice fell,
a shadow abruptly appeared.

“Who would have thought that the Gu Family Master is not merely a cultivator in the Blood Refining Realm but has actually stepped into the Bone Refining Realm!”
Being a warrior of the same realm, Sitian could tell that Gu Qingfeng in front of him was not just in the Blood Refining Realm but had already entered the Bone Refining Realm.

Gu Qingfeng’s expression remained indifferent, “Who are you and what brings you here?”
“Why doesn’t the Family Head take a guess?”
“Guess?”
Gu Qingfeng suddenly smiled, but his smile appeared somewhat chilling.

The next moment,
he vanished from where he stood, his three hundred and sixty-five Iron Bones vibrating as he erupted with powerful blood and energy, slamming his palm towards Sitian with the force of splitting a mountain.

The latter’s face changed and, completely not expecting Gu Qingfeng to strike immediately, had to hurriedly defend himself.

Their fists and palms collided.

A formidable force overwhelmed him, accompanied by an unbearable scorching energy, making Sitian’s expression change drastically again.

“Bang—”
Sitian staggered back several steps.

“With such power, you dare to act recklessly in my Gu Family’s domain, who gave you the courage!”
Gu Qingfeng scoffed disdainfully.

Although the opponent was also in the Bone Refining Realm, his strength was merely so-so and not worth mentioning.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng about to strike again, Sitian said in a panic,
“I am a centurion of the Black Xuan Guard under Divine Martial King, I am here today by the—”
Before Sitian could finish speaking, Gu Qingfeng’s attack had already arrived, its fierceness like a tempest, leaving him struggling to defend and unable to say anything further.

The more they fought,
the more terrified Sitian became.

He had been in the Bone Refining Realm for many years, having cultivated an entire body of Circulation Copper Bones, and even refined a few Silver Bones, ranking him strong amongst his peers.

However,
faced with Gu Qingfeng, he was completely overwhelmed.

The blood and energy on his opponent were incredibly dense, not resembling someone who had just entered the Bone Refining Realm, and Gu Qingfeng’s punches and palms contained an extremely domineering, scorching powerful energy.

This energy invaded Sitian’s body continually throughout the fight, causing immense discomfort.

And when the energy accumulated to a certain level, it then exploded inside him.

“Boom!”
Fierce Sun Palm Force erupted.

Sitian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his formerly coordinated moves became flawed.

Gu Qingfeng seized the opportunity, landing a heavy palm on his chest, sending his body flying through the air.

Upon landing,
Sitian spat out another mouthful of blood, severely wounded.

Such a commotion
naturally drew more people from the Gu family.

Gu Qingfeng’s expression turned stern as he ordered, “Disperse, all of you!

There’s no need for you to intervene in this matter!”
Hearing these words,
many guards complied and withdrew.

Then Gu Qingfeng approached Sitian, bent down, and like eagle talons, he struck out, dislocating all the joints in his limbs.

The intense pain turned Sitian’s face deathly pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
