I will settle scores and use violence to shatter the chaos of this world.

Chapter 21. Invincible Skin and Bones! Double Buffs!

"A hero? You think you're a hero just because you've taken the elixir?"

Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "I was thinking that your pill must have a time limit, right? I want to see what happens to you after a certain period of time."

"you!"

Zhang Lie revealed his surprise and anger, then turned and left, saying, "If you're not willing to fight anymore, then let's end it here. We'll discuss it again at another time!"

"Where are you going?"

Chen Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he quickly pounced over, striking Zhang Lie in the back with a palm.

Zhang Lie turned around again, his claws flashing like afterimages, relentlessly striking Chen Xuan.

With a snap.

The two clashed once again.

A red light flashed across Zhang Lie's face, making him look extremely abnormal, with a hint of pain in his features. But in an instant, he suppressed the red light again.

Chen Xuan saw it clearly and immediately activated the Black Fiend Palm, launching a series of attacks at the opponent's body.

The Black Demon Palm technique is inherently poisonous.

Although the impact is slight, at such a critical moment for the opponent, a series of hits will surely have an unexpected effect.

as predicted!

After Chen Xuan and Zhang Lie exchanged blows more than a dozen times, Zhang Lie suddenly spat out blood, revealing a look of horror. He quickly retreated, saying, "I'm not fighting anymore, the Spirit Fish Field is yours!"

His poison from the Blood Marrow Pill could no longer be suppressed.

More importantly...

Chen Xuan's palm is poisoned.

With each palm strike, the toxins seeped into his body through the numerous needle marks on his arms, merging with the toxicity of his Blood Marrow Pill. This made the already difficult-to-suppress toxicity of the Blood Marrow Pill even more potent.

The Blood Marrow Pill, which could originally sustain a cup of tea, couldn't even last half a cup of tea.

boom!

Chen Xuan unleashed another palm strike, breaking Zhang Lie's shoulder and sending him flying backward. Zhang Lie spat out another mouthful of blood, screamed in agony, and rolled on the ground, groaning in pain.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhang Lie's entire body rapidly turned red, and large bumps appeared on his skin, causing unbearable pain and emanating traces of poison.

"What a potent poison!"

Chen Xuan was filled with surprise and doubt.

Of course, this toxicity is not in one's own palm.

Rather, it was already present in the other person's body.

His own Black Fiend Palm technique merely detonated the deadly poison.

[You defeated Zhang Lie of the Giant Whale Gang, which has initially spread your fame and shaken the docks. Your satisfaction points +1200!]

Chen Xuan's eyes flashed.

So tall!

Good, good, good, this trip was definitely worthwhile.

"It hurts so much, it itches so much... ah... it hurts so much..."

Zhang Lie let out a piercing scream, repeatedly banging his head against the ground.

With a series of loud bangs, pieces of the ground shattered from being hit.

Everyone watching from all directions was horrified.

"What happened to Boss Zhang?"

"It's over, Zhang Lie's done for!"

...

Chen Xuan stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Lie from the ground, and said, "Are you really giving up on the Spirit Fish Arena?"

"I'm not fighting anymore! It hurts so much, it itches so badly! Ah, quick, give me the antidote!"

Zhang Lie was still screaming in agony.

The members of the Giant Whale Gang behind him shuddered and quickly ran into the house.

Chen Xuan casually tossed his body aside and said, "Jia Gui, bring the contract over and have him put his fingerprint on it!"

Jia Gui, who was on the side, was already extremely shocked.

Upon hearing this, he quickly took out the contract he had prepared in advance from his pocket, rushed to Zhang Lie, grabbed his hand, and pressed it directly onto the contract without even using cinnabar.

"As you all have seen, the Giant Whale Gang has voluntarily conceded defeat. From this day forward, the Spirit Fish Farm on the Qinghe River belongs to my Red Sand Gang. Please bear witness to this!"

Jia Gui waved the contract in his hand and shouted at the crowd.

The crowd was in a daze.

They were still somewhat incredulous.

"Zhang Lie, the contract has been signed. I hope you won't be so blind again. If you dare to covet our spirit fish farm again, don't blame me!"

Chen Xuan spoke up to offer a reminder.

Now that he's done it, he's going to do it perfectly.

"Jia Gui, retreat!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand and walked directly towards the outer perimeter of the village.

The expressions of the people around them changed instantly, and they subconsciously took a step back.

When they arrived, many people were hostile and full of sarcasm.

As they left, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look Chen Xuan in the eye.

This is the human heart!

That's real strength!

...

Inside the carriage.

Chen Xuan carefully moved his wrists and palms, his mind slightly contorted.

Zhang Lie truly lived up to his reputation as a notorious bandit.

Those gripping moves were so forceful and solid that even I almost couldn't gain the upper hand.

Now his wrists, forearms, and chest are all sore.

Suddenly, he opened his own panel again and smiled.

Happiness rating: 1515.

Fortunately, everything is worth it.

"Exhilaration Value, Deducing Explosive Palm!"

Chen Xuan silently recited in his heart.

[Ding! You have consumed another 1300 points of Pleasure Value to continue practicing Exploding Palm. Your Exploding Palm continues to advance by leaps and bounds. Through your diligent practice, you gradually grasp the true meaning of Exploding Palm. Finally, you have an epiphany, and your Exploding Palm reaches the perfect state, extending its ultimate meaning: One Palm to Sever the Soul!]

[Congratulations, host, you have reached the fifth level of Dark Force!]

[Ding! Detected that the host's fame has spread again, reaching the second stage: Somewhat Famous, unlocking the talent: Copper Skin and Iron Bones!]

[Copper Skin and Iron Bones: Your physical body is incomparably strong, as if you've mastered an invincible shield, automatically reducing all external damage by 60%!]

A series of sounds rang out.

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.

The fifth level of internal strength?

Unlocked a new talent?

Or is it a physical body with "copper skin and iron bones"?

"Good, good, good. With my copper skin and iron bones combined with my innate superhuman strength, it's like I have a double buff. I don't even know how strong I am now."

Chen Xuan looked at his palms, clenched them tightly, and they made a crackling sound.

...

"It's a pity that my martial arts have reached perfection again. I'll go back and find Su Qingliu to see if I can get a new martial art."

Chen Xuan thought to himself.

Not long after.

Chen Xuan's carriage had already returned to the Qingshui Shipyard.

Su Qingliu, his body wrapped in bandages, paced back and forth in the courtyard, waiting anxiously.

She only hurried to greet Chen Xuan after he had completely stepped down.

"Chief Chen, how's the situation? Has Zhang Lie given you any trouble? With your strength, you shouldn't need to be afraid of him, right?"

Su Qingliu said quickly.

"Don't worry, with me in charge, it'll be a piece of cake."

Chen Xuan casually handed a contract with a bloody handprint to Su Qingliu.

Su Qingliu's eyes lit up with joy, and he said, "Zhang Lie has given in!"

"Of course! Not only did they back down, they even kindly offered to treat us to a feast!"

Chen Xuan responded.

"Attending a banquet?"

Su Qingliu's expression froze.

Jia Gui gave a wry smile and said, "Chief Su, Chief Chen killed Wu Biao, Wu Biao of the Thirteen Golden Dragon Stronghold."

"What? You killed Wu Biao?"

Su Qingliu's expression changed drastically.

"Wu Biao wanted to kill me, so I killed him. What's the big deal? We're all in the same boat. Is his life more valuable than mine?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Don't tell me he has a powerful background or anything.

Is the background of your Red Sand Gang just for show?

"But..."

Su Qingliu's eyes flickered as he paced back and forth, but ultimately he didn't say anything.

The deed is done, and saying anything more won't change the outcome.

The best course of action now is to find a way to make amends as soon as possible!

"I need to return to headquarters immediately to report to the leader!"

Su Qingliu said.

"Don't rush back yet. Do you have any more secret manuals on you? Give me another one!"

Chen Xuan said.

"A secret manual? Didn't you just get the Exploding Palm technique?"

Su Qingliu inquired.

"What if I told you I'd mastered the Exploding Palm technique?"

Chen Xuan responded.

"You've mastered it?"

Su Qingliu was startled and suddenly looked at Chen Xuan.

That can't be right.

It hasn't been that long.

"Alright, I don't have time to talk to you anymore. Do you have any tips?"

Chen Xuan continued to ask questions.

"If you want the manual, with your contributions this time, you can go back to the Scripture Pavilion to choose one. However, the Clear Water Branch is still guarded. How about this, I'll lend you one first."

Su Qingliu immediately pulled a new manual from his bosom.

Vajra Fist!
