Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 37 – Demon style

Even though Hua Hu had always been steady, upon hearing this, he couldn't help but become angry: "You only need to collect the toll once, yet you collected it twice! You're just finding excuses!"

The monkey demon drew out the knife from his chest and it glinted in the sunlight. He laughed: "You don't have to cross the bridge if you don't want to. I don't necessarily have to collect the toll from you. Stop talking nonsense. Either pay up or offer your head for me to chop!"

Behind Su Yun and the others, the monkey demon who collected the toll on the bridge said leisurely: "Since we started collecting tolls for building the bridge and repairing the road, we no longer do the business of killing and robbing. Don't force us to return to our old ways."

Su Yun glanced at the village on the hillside, then at the two monkey demons in front and behind him, and said: "It's not unreasonable to collect tolls to cross the bridge, and it's not unreasonable to collect tolls to leave it."

He walked forward and took out ten five-zhu coins from his purse. The monkey demon who collected the toll snatched it away and glanced at his purse. He laughed: "There's still a lot in there. Where are you guys going?"

Hu Buping said: "Into the city..."

Su Yun quickly covered his mouth and said with a smile: "We're going to visit relatives ahead."

Hu Buping understood and changed his words: "We're going to visit relatives in the village ahead!"

"It's rare to visit relatives on a snowy day."

The monkey demon's eyes flickered. He saw Su Yun put the purse back in his bag, but a dozen or so Qinghong coins fell out of the bag.

Hua Hu hurriedly picked up the coins and put them back in the bag.

Su Yun and his companions quickly packed their bags and hurried forward.

The monkey demon watched them leave and suddenly said: "Lao Liu, I'm going to do some business!"

The other monkey demon frowned and advised: "Leave some of the kids alive. Let them go. When they come back, we can collect two more tolls."

The monkey demon named Yuan Wu laughed: "They're going into the city! These kids, they want to go into the city even though they haven't grown all their hair. They definitely won't make it to the post station alive. They have a lot of money on them. It's better to benefit me than anyone else!"

Just as Yuan Liu was about to speak, Yuan Wu had already left.

"Killing children won't bring good karma." Yuan Liu shook his head, but he did not chase after him.

Su Yun, Hua Hu, and the others hurried forward. Su Yun whispered, "Let's go a little further."

Hua Hu and the others understood. The four little demon children each flew forward, and before they knew it, they had arrived at a bend in the road, where they suddenly jumped into the deep snow on either side of the road and disappeared.

Yuan Wu, relying on his knife, leaped like a monkey, and when he caught up to the bend, he saw Su Yun standing in front of him.

The young man had turned his back to him and had taken off his shirt, neatly folding it and placing it aside, revealing a beautifully toned back.

Yuan Wu was surprised and laughed: "This kid is really considerate. Is he afraid of getting blood on his clothes? That's good, I'll use my white blade to go in and my red blade to come out. If I stab through his clothes and get blood on them, they won't be worth anything."

Just then, he suddenly saw Su Yun's back expand, as if he had grown another twelve ribs, and his back muscles suddenly doubled in size!Su Yun's back was tense with thick tendons, and his 24 ribs were inserted into his spine. The large muscle group on his back was connected to his spine, and the tendons connected the muscles and ribs.

"Strong!" Yuan Wu's heart shook.

Suddenly, a dragon appeared on Su Yun's back, and it combined with the muscles to form a dragon map.

The dragon's hair and beard floated as it roared towards Yuan Wu.

"Meng Gu--"

Snow fell in the pine forest on both sides of the road, making a rustling sound as it landed.

Yuan Wu couldn't help but howl as his blood and energy surged, and his vigorous energy mixed with blood rushed out of his body, causing his fur to flutter.

"I'm also at the sixth level of foundation building!"

Ding Ling Ling!

His long knife made a crisp sound, but it couldn't withstand his violent blood and energy. It shook like a thin piece of iron and suddenly tore apart!

His violent blood and energy formed the image of a burly ape-man behind him. The ape-man's golden fur shone, and its fangs were fierce. Its four fangs were five or six inches long, and it was much larger than Yuan Wu.

Xianxuan Qi Training.

This cultivation method was a foundation building cultivation method from the Old Saint Classic period. However, it was not promoted in the official schools of the Shuofang generation, but in the foundation building cultivation methods of other states and counties.

Different states and counties often have different foundation building cultivation methods, such as the Bifang Divine Movement Qi Training used in Shuofang.

The ape demon in Yuanjialing should come from another state or county and have learned Xianxuan Qi Training.

The biggest difference between Xianxuan Qi Training and other foundation building cultivation methods is that practicing this method can enhance the ability of bone marrow hematopoiesis, increase bone density, strengthen muscles and tendons, and exercise every muscle in the body, greatly increasing one's strength!

The second part of this method is called the Ape King's Secret, which also has six moves and is an extremely violent technique.

Compared to humans, Xianxuan Qi Training is more suitable for apes. Ape demons who cultivate this foundation building cultivation method can achieve twice the result with half the effort and have greater power!

Yuan Wu's blood and energy were raging, and his body suddenly grew more than a foot tall. His arms and legs became thicker, his eyes turned blood red, and he suddenly crouched and leaped forward.

Su Yun was about four zhang away from him. In the instant Yuan Wu leaped forward, he landed less than a zhang away from Su Yun.

The violent ape landed and took a step forward, retracted his right shoulder, combined his waist and horse stance, and the golden ape behind him made the same movement. They both retracted their right shoulders and combined their waist and horse stance, then punched!

The fist wind whistled, and the snow on both sides of the road continued to be blown away by the wind, fluttering in the air.

Su Yun turned around, and the dragon map on his back spread throughout his body. He raised his hand and used the first move of the Dragon Roar, "Dragon Emerges from the Abyss!"

Every muscle and tendon in his body trembled, and he transmitted the power from the ground to his legs, from his legs to his waist, and from the waist to his muscles. His spine crawled like a dragon, sending the power to his fist!

This punch made his body lean forward, and dragon claws and tails made of blood and energy surged out of his body. The dragon claws hooked onto the ground, and the four dragon legs exerted force, making his punch reach its maximum power and meet Yuan Wu's attack!After burying the dragon bones in the Dragon Tomb, Su Yun had reached a high level of understanding and comprehension of the Jiao Long Yin. He used the dragon form to circulate his qi and blood, strengthening himself.

This was his first battle since burying the dragon bones!

He wanted to test the results of his recent self-cultivation!

Yuan Wu's fist was several times bigger than Su Yun's, like a wine barrel. In the blink of an eye, their fists collided.

The accumulated snow on both sides of the road seemed to have been hit by an invisible force, and snowflakes flew up into the air. Yuan Wu's face changed suddenly as he heard the sound of his hand bones vibrating.

The sound was crisp and clear, like the sound of an axe chopping into dry wood. It transmitted from his bones to his eardrums much faster than from the air to his ears.

Then came the cracking sound of his index and middle fingers, followed by the sound of the ligament breaking in his wrist. The violent force was transmitted from his forearm's radius and ulna bones to the humerus and scapula bones in his upper arm and shoulder blade.

His head tilted suddenly, and his brain felt muddled, as if it had been hit by a demon bull. Other forces dispersed from his scapula to his 33 vertebrae and 12 ribs, and his momentum was immediately stopped. His burly body fell backward and flew out!

Before he could land, four cute little children made of ice and snow suddenly rushed out of the snow on both sides of the road. They grabbed his limbs and performed crocodile and dragon rolls in mid-air!

Crack, crack!

Four crisp sounds came, and Yuan Wu saw his limbs twisted into a twisted shape. He felt a sinking feeling in his heart: "I've been blind to the birds after years of hunting geese. These little ghosts have outsmarted me!"

He suddenly realized that Su Yun had revealed his wealth to lure him in with greed. If he had not been greedy, nothing would have happened. If he had chased after them with the intent to kill and rob them, he would have been killed by Su Yun and his companions!

Hua Hu and the others landed on one foot, while Yuan Wu fell backward with a thump, his limbs twisted.

"This is Yuan Family Ridge. Who dares to kill me?"

Yuan Wu shouted, his voice stern: "My ancestor of the Yuan family sits on the ridge, and he is the ruler of this place. If you kill me, none of you will be able to…"

Whoosh—

Su Yun swept his right leg over. The strength in this leg was explosive, and the blood vessels were filled with violent qi and blood, just like a dragon's tail sweeping. He fiercely swept Yuan Wu's neck!

Yuan Wu's neck tendon made a loud cracking sound, and his neck bone twisted. Su Yun pressed down on his head with his leg, slamming it hard onto the ground!

The ground shook violently.

Su Yun withdrew his right leg and quickly flipped over Yuan Wu's body a few times, finding a small bag of five zhu coins. He opened it and took out ten coins.

There was still a lot of money in the bag, but he didn't take any more.

"Little Brother Yun, he took twenty coins from us!" Hu Buping adjusted his dog-eared hat and reminded him.

"Ten of those coins were for the bridge toll, so he was right to take them. He wanted to kill us, and we killed him in self-defense. This is the right way. Killing him has saved many lives."

Su Yun flipped through a thin book he found in Yuan Wu's arms, and was slightly stunned. He then threw the ten coins onto Yuan Wu's corpse and said, "I want this book. I paid you with ten coins, so we don't owe each other anything."He stood up with four little kids following him closely. Hua Hu asked, "Xiao Yun, what book is this that's worth ten coins? Shui Jing only charges us one coin for his teachings."

"This book is called the Immortal Ape Cultivation Technique."

Su Yun flipped through the book while walking and said, "The first part teaches how to subdue the Heart Ape, control the Mind Horse, and sit the Savage Ape in the Dantian. It's quite extraordinary. The second part, Ape King's Art, has six Ape King's techniques, and the moves are also extraordinary."

Qing Qiuyue shook her rabbit ears and said, "It's still not worth ten coins."

Su Yun regretted, "He was killed by us, so there's no bargaining. I should have negotiated the price before killing him."

As the only human in the wasteland, his way of doing things had already been influenced by the monsters and demons here.

He must pay the money he owes, not a penny less, and ensure a fair deal. Even if the other party is dead, he must pay.

If it's his money, he must take it back if it's stolen, and never give in.

If it's not his money, he won't take a penny, even if it's in front of him.

His principle is that simple and clear.
