Martial Arts Longevity Begins with the Equipment Slot

Chapter 29 Going All Out, Humanoid Beast

As Chen Yu charged forward...

Scarface had already reached Chen Yu.

"laugh!"

His swift blade transformed into a silver lightning bolt, aiming straight for Chen Yu's chest.

That is the vital point of all living beings.

The blade struck the dark skin with precision, producing a crisp "clang" sound, as if it had struck a piece of raw iron.

The blade cannot advance an inch.

Scarface's pupils contracted sharply, his wrist twisted, and the blade's momentum surged like a relentless tide.

"Swish swish swish swish!"

Throat, chest, neck, armpits, joints.

Each strike targets the theoretically most vulnerable part.

"Ding!"

"clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere, and the sounds of metal clashing mingled together.

His knife was so fast that only a flash of silver could be seen.

But it could only leave fleeting white marks on Chen Yu's skin, without even breaking through the epidermis.

Chen Yu remained completely still.

With the two forms of "Black Cloak Bear Skin" and "Kui Niu Ghost Back" superimposed, he didn't even bother to raise his hand to block.

When the difference in skill level is not significant, the opponent can hardly cause any damage.

Cold sweat beaded on the scarred man's forehead.

His sword had already struck more than three hundred times, his tiger's mouth was split open, and blood flowed down the hilt of the sword.

But that layer of dark skin remained as smooth as ever.

Not a single drop of blood seeped out.

"impossible……"

Scarface retreated, panting.

"What kind of monster is this...?"

Chen Yu finally made a move.

"boom!"

He took a step forward, and the ground collapsed with a roar, cracks spreading like a spider web.

Scarface was unsteady on his feet and before he could regain his footing, he saw the butcher knife being slowly raised.

When it reached its highest point, it even blocked out the setting sun.

cut!

The flashes of the blades cascaded down like a black waterfall.

Scarface instinctively raised his knife to block.

"clang!!!"

The steel knife snapped in two.

"Click!"

Scarface's arm bones shattered instantly.

He felt as if he had been struck by a massive boulder and collapsed to his knees.

Before he could even feel the pain, Chen Yu's left hand had already reached out.

A huge hand gripped his head and lifted him up.

Chen Yu held the scarred man up to his eyes and looked into those bloodshot eyes.

Scarface's legs kicked wildly in the air, his broken arms futilely pounding his wrists.

It's like a dragonfly trying to shake a stone pillar; it can't even make the slightest tremor.

Scarface looked up at Chen Yu, his expression shifting from rage to confusion, and then to bitterness.

"What... kind of monster are you...?"

He said hoarsely.

"I...died without injustice..."

Chen Yu tilted his head, seemingly savoring the despair.

Then, he clenched his fist.

"puff."

A muffled thud.

Like an overripe fruit being crushed.

Red and white liquid spurted out from between his fingers.

Releasing his grip, Scarface's mangled body fell limply to the ground, smashing into a mangled mess of flesh and blood.

Chen Yu glanced down, then raised his foot and stomped down.

"Bang!"

The ground trembled slightly, and the blood-stained body turned into a pool of filth mixed with the soil.

Fifteen minutes later, the battle was over.

Chen Yu switched back to his original form.

Then quickly loot the corpse.

It has to be said that these robbers are indeed rich.

They found six ten-tael silver notes, about twenty taels of loose silver, and three bags of copper coins on these three men.

Although no extraordinary martial arts manuals were found, it was still a gratifying harvest.

Chen Yu walked out of the dense forest. The sun was about to set, and the sky was a faint orange-red.

A thin mist rises from the mountains and fields, bathing the vegetation in the soft twilight, blurring their outlines.

In the distance, a young girl walks briskly ahead.

She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light purple dress and a worn embroidered cloak.

A single plain silver butterfly adorned her hair, trembling gently with each step, as if it were about to take flight at any moment.

"Hurry up, brother!"

"You're a Bone Refining Realm expert, how come your stamina is so slow?"

Her eyes crinkled into a smile as she turned back to urge him on.

The young master behind him shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help but quicken his pace.

He watched his sister's retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Just moments ago she seemed shaken, but now she was like a bird returning to its nest, her steps brimming with joy.

Upon reaching the edge of the woods, the girl suddenly composed herself.

"My benefactor, I've brought my brother to rescue you."

Chen Yu recognized that several people had been threatened by the bandits before, and this girl was one of them.

During the big battle, the others took advantage of the chaos to run away.

Only she returned with her men to provide support.

Chen Yu knew what was going on, and then looked at the young man next to her.

The young man, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe and with a jade belt around his waist, hurried over.

He stopped in the middle of the road, bowed solemnly to Chen Yu, and his sleeves fell like flowing clouds.

"My benefactor, please accept my bow."

He did not get up immediately, but remained in a deep bowing posture, his voice clear and sincere.

"No need for formalities. It's only natural to lend a helping hand when injustice is seen!"

Chen Yu spoke with great passion and fervor.

Although his original intention was not to save people, he actually saved many people.

"My younger sister is unruly. The other day she went out on her own and was attacked by bandits."

"If it weren't for your benefactor's righteous intervention, my sister would likely be in grave danger right now..."

The young man paused, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"I, Duan, only have this one younger sister, whom I have cherished since childhood. If anything were to happen to her, I, Duan, would be guilty even if I were to die a thousand deaths."

As he straightened up, his eyes were already glistening with tears, but he forced himself to remain calm and took out a mutton-fat jade pendant from his sleeve.

"This is a family heirloom. Although it is not worth much, it represents the sentiments of the Duan family."

"No, no, you mustn't!"

"Upholding justice is a matter of course! There's no need for such a grand ceremony!"

Chen Yu waved his hand repeatedly, but his eyes were fixed on the jade pendant as he estimated its price.

"I will never forget your great kindness today."

"If my benefactor ever needs my help in the future, I, Duan, will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"May I ask your honorable name, my benefactor?"

"My name is Chen Yu, and I am an assistant craftsman at the Sword Forging Manor."

Chen Yu told the truth: he had done a good deed, so of course he wanted to leave his name.

"My name is Duan Yufeng, and this is my younger sister, Duan Yuzhu."

He turned his head slightly, gesturing for his younger sister behind him to bring out the brocade box.

"This is just a small gift, nothing more. I hope Brother Chen will not refuse it and will give me a chance to repay you."

"What is this?" Chen Yu asked.

"This is a specially made body-strengthening pill from my family, which is very beneficial to martial arts practitioners. Please accept it, Brother Chen."

Since things had come to this point, Chen Yu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted all the gifts without hesitation.

"By the way, how are those three thugs doing?"

"Is he still alive?"

Duan Yuzhu asked curiously.

"I killed them all."

Chen Yu pointed to the three corpses on the ground and answered slowly.

"I'd like to see which fool dares to lay a hand on my Duan family!"

Duan Yufeng went up to each of them one by one to examine the bodies and verify their identities.

The two outside the woods were alright; you could vaguely tell they were two bandits who had wandered out of Black Cloud Village. I had seen their portraits on the wanted posters.

The one in the woods had been beaten into a bloody pulp, his face unrecognizable, and nothing could be seen from him.

Upon seeing this horrific scene, Duan Yufeng couldn't help but gasp in horror.

The burly man in front of me doesn't seem as simple as he appears.

But that's just right, because only those with real talent deserve to be courted by the Duan family.

As one of the three major families in Sunset City, they had no intention of wasting resources on useless people.
