Volume 1: Heroic Boy Chapter 42: Reaching the Peak

"Ah!" Zhou Yan shouted.

The meridians of the whole body seemed to be torn apart by internal strength, and Zhou Yan's head naturally hung down, and he suddenly fainted.

The cave was unusually quiet, Zhou Yanpan sat motionless on the stone platform, but the Ancient Spirit Divine Bead still exuded golden light.

Unconsciously, half a day passed, Zhou Yan's fingers moved slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes. When he woke up, Zhou Yan hurriedly explored himself and found that his martial arts cultivation had improved significantly, but the pain in his whole body had not disappeared.

Zhou Yanqiang couldn't help but smile slightly, and looked down at the heart of martial arts cultivation, "As long as I can improve my cultivation, even if it hurts a little, what can I do!"

After speaking, the stubborn Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, and began to cultivate again according to the records in the mental method.

Time passed slowly, and just two days had passed, the pain of the meridians being torn had become numb, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to drip from Zhou Yan's forehead.

"Dada!"

"Da Da!" the sound of sweat and the stone platform colliding with each other seemed so crisp in the silent cavern.

Suddenly, two cool intentions appeared in Zhou Yan's meridians, and then slowly spread around the meridians, a refreshing feeling appeared, Zhou Yan slowly opened his eyes, raised his two palms and made a circle in front of his chest, and instantly the two palms pushed outward through the air, and suddenly two powerful air currents were excited from Zhou Yan's palms.

Zhou Yan happily felt the changes in himself.

"Breakthrough!"

"My cultivation has actually broken through!" Zhou Yan got up and happily stroked the Ancient Spirit Divine Bead.

At this moment, the Gu Spirit Divine Bead was rubbed by Zhou Yan's palm, and it shook in Zhou Yan's hand for a while, as if Zhou Yan quickly let go of him.

"Haha!"

"Senior brother deserves to be a senior brother, and the martial arts cultivation method created is really a good cultivation method. I only practiced for two days, and I broke through from the late stage of martial arts to the peak realm of martial arts, and became the youngest peak powerhouse of martial arts in the martial arts world. If I practice more every day, wouldn't I be able to break through the limitations of the mortal realm and enter the Qi refining stage, then I can use the Ancient Spirit Divine Bead to cultivate, and my cultivation will definitely improve rapidly!"

Zhou Yan was happy to be able to jump around in the cave like a monkey.

"Gollum, Gollum!"

Zhou Yan reached out and stroked his stomach.

"Hehe, it's time to go down the mountain, I haven't eaten for three days, and my stomach is starting to mess with me. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yan knelt down towards the stone wall, and then walked out of the cave with the ancient spirit bead.

The moment he walked out of the cave, the Gu Ling Divine Bead suddenly broke free from Zhou Yan's palm and immediately rushed into Zhou Yan's body.

"What the hell is this Gu Ling Divine Bead doing, one will come out by itself, and the other will go in by itself, why don't you respect your master at all!"

"Hehe!" Zhou Yan smiled faintly, then stopped thinking about it, and walked towards the stone stairs on the way down the mountain.

In the dead of night, more than a dozen men on horseback appeared near a small village at the foot of Xuanyan Mountain, waving a long saber in their hands.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" a horse shouted.

"Fourth, there is the sound of horses in this village!" said the man with a scar on his face.

"Didn't we just come to this village a few days ago, how can anyone in this poor village afford a horse, do you know the price of a horse, it is worth a hundred taels of silver. The four masters calculated.

"Of course I know the price of a horse, but I did hear a horse bark just now, don't believe you ask the brothers. The scar man said.

"Oh!"

The fourth master turned to look at the rest of the people behind him, and these people all nodded to prove that the scar man was not talking nonsense.

"In that case, you should go and see it beforehand!" commanded the fourth master.

The man with the scar rode to the entrance of the village, and the village was silent.

Suddenly, the horse's cry of "Whoop, whoop, whoop!" reappeared.

The man with the scar quickly came to the outside of a farmhouse after identifying the direction.

"Haha!"

"It's really a horse, but when I was here some time ago, I didn't see anyone raising horses, so how could a horse suddenly appear in just a few days?" the scar man wondered.

"Could it be that there are outsiders staying here?"

"If this is the case, this man must be a rich man, and it seems that the opportunity to make a fortune has come, and I must hurry up and tell the four masters. Then the man with the scar ran to the place where he had come.

In the mountains and forests under Xuanyan Mountain, a figure kept shuttling forward, this person's body method was extremely fast, and a dodge appeared more than ten zhang away.

"When I was on Xuanyan Mountain just now, I deliberately paid attention to the bottom of the mountain, and the villages near here should be in this direction. Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and then a dodge disappeared in place.

"Four masters, I found that there is indeed a horse tethered to a farmer's house, and that horse is still a good breed!"

"From what I've looked closely, the family can't afford to buy this horse, and I guess there are outsiders in this family's family staying here!" said the scar man excitedly.

"Oh, this is a fat sheep, so what are you waiting for, since this horse has been met by us, then we naturally can't do without it, aren't you, brothers!" said the fourth master.

"Yes, yes, the four masters are right!" said a group of men on horseback noisyly.

"You lead the way!"

In a few moments, the men on horseback came to the farmer's door.

"Who!" said the old man, who heard the noise, and got up to check.

"Humph......!"

"What do you say we are, old thing!" smirked the scarred man.

"Ah......h

"Help......!"

"The horse bandits are coming, the horse bandits are coming!" the old man shouted in a panicked voice, his face pale.

After a while, all the peasant households in the village, after hearing the old man's shout, got dressed and went outside.

"Humph......!"

"You old thing, what are you yelling about, are you looking for death!"

The man with the scar angrily raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the old man's back.

"Ah......h

A scream came, and a deep knife wound leaked from the old man's back, and the blood instantly penetrated the old man's clothes, and then the old man fell to the ground.

"Daddy......!"

"Daddy......!"

A man rushed out of the house crying, reaching out to hug the old man.

It turned out that this man was the old man's son, named Li Hu, and he heard the old man's cry just now, so he came out to check, but he didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he walked out.

"Dad, how are you, it doesn't matter!" Li Hu asked.

"Huzi, run, don't worry about Dad, I'm afraid Dad won't be able to, you hurry up and run with Xiulan, the farther you run, the better!" the old man said weakly.

"Dad, how can I leave you alone, I'll fight with them!"

Saying that, Li Hu took the knife he used to chop wood on weekdays and slashed at the scar man.

"Hmph, I don't know what is alive or dead, since you want to find death, then go and accompany that old thing!"

I saw that the scar man struck away the knife in Li Hu's hand with a wave of his hand, and kicked Li Hu away with a kick.

"Xianggong!"

A woman ran up and shouted.

"Xiulan, you, what are you doing here!" Li Hu said anxiously.

"Shout......!"

"There is such a beautiful little lady hidden in the house, the fourth master, it seems that the brothers are not blessed today!"

"Whatever you want to do, come at me for anything!" Li Hu struggled.

After hearing Li Hu's shouts, the surrounding villagers all rushed to this side.

"You, you are the bandits of the Ringing Horse Gang!" shouted a villager, trembling.

"Humph!"

"What's the matter, let me tell you, Uncle Ben is the fourth leader of the Xiangma Gang, known as the Iron Fourth Master, today's matter has nothing to do with your group of people, if you are afraid of death, go back quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will not mind slaughtering you villagers!"

The villagers were already afraid of the people of the Ringing Horse Gang, and when they heard this, they were all so frightened that they quickly fled in the direction they came.

The corners of the four masters' mouths smiled slightly.

"Scar, go see if there's anyone else in the house!"

The man with the scar quickly rushed into the house to check.

"The four are in charge, and there is no one in the house. The scar man said.

"Oh, there's no one in the house, could it be that this horse belongs to this farmer?" said the fourth master, a little puzzled.

"Say, where did you get this horse?" asked the fourth master.

"Humph!"

"If you want to kill it, you have to listen to it, as for whose horse it is, don't you want to know!" Li Hu trembled.

"Roar!"

"The bones are quite hard, in this case, the four masters, I think they killed it directly, as for this little lady, I will reward a few of our brothers!"

The fourth master moved strangely.

Immediately, the man with the scar raised the long knife in his hand and slashed at Li Hu.

But at this critical moment, Zhou Yan suddenly appeared in front of Li Hu, raised his palm and hit the scarred man's chest.

"Ahh

The blood in the scarred man's mouth suddenly gushed out, and he flew out directly upside down, falling heavily in front of the four masters.

The four masters were shocked, and suddenly there was a burst of anger!

"Who are you?"

"Don't you know the name of Uncle Ben?" said the fourth master angrily.

Zhou Yan didn't pay attention to the words of the four masters, turned to look at Li Hu on the ground, and then reached out to help Li Hu up.

"Little brother, you are back, you have been up the mountain for three days, I was going to bring more people up the mountain to find you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come back safely, then I will be relieved!" Li Hu stood up and said happily.

"Brother Li, thank you for your kindness, what kind of people are these, why did they appear here so late!" "Who is the injured old man lying on the ground?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Little brother, don't you know, these people are the people of the Xiangma Gang, and this injured is the father, and it is they who are injured!" Li Hu said angrily.

"Oh, the people of the Ringing Horse Gang?" Zhou Yan said.

"Hmph, boy, I dare to despise our four masters, I'm really impatient, report it quickly!" exclaimed a man on horseback.
