Chapter 50 Bone-Piercing Finger, Explosive Qi Finger!
For the next few days.
The entire city was placed under martial law again. County soldiers, yamen guards, constables, and clerks began a thorough investigation of any remaining Black Wind Stronghold members in the city.
"Why is martial law being declared again?"
"There were soldiers everywhere, as if they were searching for thieves."
"Whose thieves are these, causing such a commotion? Could they have stolen from the magistrate's mansion?"
"You'd better watch your words. There are constables and police everywhere. Be careful what you say."
"..."
The people on the road were confused and only saw teams of officials coming and going, searching repeatedly, which caused widespread panic.
Few people noticed at this time that the old constables who were only going through the motions in the yamen set up in the outer city had all disappeared.
In a small courtyard in the east of the city.
The courtyard, which had been in complete disarray due to a battle, has now been restored to cleanliness.
The bloodstains were washed away, and the body was taken away by the county officials.
Li Gou'er was covered in plasters, and his face was still bruised and swollen, but at least he could walk freely now.
Zhao Chunzi, whose injuries were more severe, still needs to stay in bed to continue recovering.
Although they were badly injured, they had no complaints.
After all, Zhao An had already killed Zhao Ke, who had assaulted them, which could be considered as a great revenge for them.
Zhao An was shirtless, unafraid of the scorching sun.
With his thick skin now, it wouldn't be easy for him to get sunburned.
He was practicing what he had learned, sometimes transforming his palms into swift, fleeting movements, and sometimes changing his moves again, his palms stopping and transforming into two claws, like a nimble snake, with a touch of sinister ruthlessness, each move ruthless and deadly!
Then, in a subtle shift, the claw transformed into a fist, its power domineering and earth-shaking!
If any martial arts expert had witnessed Zhao An's series of martial arts techniques, they would have been astonished.
Zhao An's moves were all flawless, each move a masterpiece, displaying the demeanor of a martial arts master.
However, masters are often old, and there are no masters who are twenty years old. This is one of the reasons why Zhao An is so astonishing.
He was too young, but when he made a move, any martial art he used seemed to be the result of decades of honing and refining.
No one knows how Zhao An did it; calling him a reincarnation of a martial god wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Now, Zhao An is no longer satisfied with perfecting a single martial art.
He wanted to seamlessly integrate multiple martial arts techniques at their peak in battle, using their moves in a coordinated manner to make his opponents unable to defend against them.
This is naturally challenging, and relying solely on the theoretical foundation of the Soul Slave is insufficient. In reality, he needs to repeatedly consolidate and refine his understanding, and further explore the more rational application of different moves in actual combat.
In short, it's all about striving for perfection!
Suddenly, Zhao An changed his move again, pointing out with one finger and striking the hard wooden stake used for boxing.
Snapped!
The wooden stake made a crisp sound.
When he removed his finger, a small hole was clearly visible in the wooden stake.
Light shone through the other side of the cave.
Clearly, his seemingly casual flick of the finger had pierced right through the entire wooden stake!
What's even more remarkable is that despite such power, the rest of the wooden stake remained undamaged, with even few cracks.
This also shows that he not only has amazing finger strength, but also his technique of using internal energy is becoming increasingly exquisite and subtle.
Focus on one thing, and you'll reach the pinnacle!
This is the new finger technique that Guo Fenglin, the Soul Slave, has practiced for thirty years in the Soul Pool: the Bone-Piercing Finger!
Penetrating Bone Finger is one of the six finger techniques, and it is the one that is mainly used for attack.
It can transform one's internal energy into an invisible force that can be released through the fingertips, penetrating the skin and injuring bones. It is most effective against those martial artists who are proficient in external martial arts and claim to have indestructible bodies!
"Such strong penetrating power..." Zhao An couldn't help but exclaim.
This power is almost as strong as a bullet!
He never imagined that internal energy could be used in this way. It seemed to flow like water in the meridians, but when it was compressed and released to the extreme, it was like gunpowder being propelled into a gun barrel.
He has only just begun to master this finger technique, yet it is already so powerful. Once he has fully mastered it, this finger strike will be able to pierce through even stone shields and hard armor!
In addition, Guo Fenglin, who was his former number one soul slave, not only mastered this finger technique, but also further refined the two finger techniques of cutting off meridians and sealing acupoints that he had already mastered.
Originally, his Pulse-Severing Finger technique might only slightly delay the opponent's internal energy circulation, with an effect that lasted only a moment. Although it could become a winning move at crucial moments, in reality, if the opponent was calm enough and understood the situation, they could quickly render his Pulse-Severing Finger technique ineffective.
Now that he has mastered it, when he uses the Meridian-Severing Finger again, it is enough to completely seal off the opponent's meridians, restrict or even actively disrupt the opponent's internal energy circulation, and the effect of the finger technique can last for three to five hours, or even one or two days!
The same principle applies to the sealing acupoint finger technique. Previously, it could only paralyze half of the opponent's body, but now it can paralyze the entire body with a single finger, rendering the person unable to move!
But the results of this number one soul slave's thirty years of arduous cultivation are not limited to this.
He also mastered a special finger technique.
"Explosive anger" refers to a sudden outburst of anger.
It is also one of the Six Styles.
However, this finger technique was not aimed at his opponent, but rather at himself.
By using acupressure techniques, one can trigger the body's hidden acupoints, thereby gaining powerful strength, force, and strong breath in a short period of time!
In short, it's about unleashing potential, temporarily strengthening the physical body and internal energy, and entering a berserk state!
This method will overdraw your body and has significant side effects, so it is a desperate gamble when you are at your wit's end.
Zhao An will not use it unless absolutely necessary.
Intercepting pulse finger, sealing acupoint finger, penetrating bone finger, bursting qi finger.
He has already mastered four of the six forms of the Heavenly Profound Finger Technique, which is not a slow progress.
He still values this lost skill quite a bit.
In the battle against the bandit leader of Black Wind Stronghold, it was this lost finger technique that proved incredibly effective, turning the tide with just two fingers.
Since he couldn't train ordinary soul slaves, he used the best soul slaves he had to train them.
Without much reluctance, Zhao An directly had the bandit leader Yang Yi replace the soul slave Guo Fenglin, and then continued to study the finger technique.
As a soul slave, Yang Yi had a period of enslavement of forty years, and Zhao An was counting on him to master all six finger techniques.
Boom boom boom!
Zhao An tapped the wooden stake repeatedly with his fingers, his fingertips leaving afterimages.
In no time, the wooden stake was riddled with holes, resembling a beehive.
Zhao An finally stopped circulating his energy, looked at the wooden stake, and nodded in satisfaction.
He was satisfied with both the power of the Bone-Piercing Finger and his current internal energy reserves.
The internal energy becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate as one progresses. Currently, even consuming a typical five-year enslavement period soul slave might only increase his internal energy by one or two strands.
However, Guo Fenglin's cultivation results this time increased his internal energy by nearly a hundred strands at once!
This also underscores once again the importance of obtaining a high-quality soul slave.
Thanks to the final contribution of the soul slave Guo Fenglin, his total internal energy increased to nine hundred strands, flowing through his meridians like a stream running through his entire body.
His internal energy cultivation was already quite profound.
As the saying goes, a thousand threads converge into one, and now he is very close to the final step of that qualitative change!
