Ming Qi faced the Black Wolf King pack alone this time, facing a daunting challenge fraught with danger. If he hadn't mastered the Wolf Fist, victory would have been impossible.
Now, a large number of wolves, sensing the scent of blood, were expected to descend soon. If he didn't leave now, even with the Wolf Fist in hand, he would be dead.
With this in mind, Ming Qi didn't hesitate. He collected the Wolf King's corpse from the ground into his ring and sprinted towards Santai Town.
All the way, Ming Qi constantly pondered the secrets of the Wolf Fist.
By the time he reached Santai Town, he had fully mastered and mastered the second punch of the Wolf Fist.
Wolf Fist Second Punch: A Terrifying Thought!
Like Bloodthirsty Greed, it was a poetic name, but Ming Qi knew that this punch, when delivered, was anything but poetic.
It was already midnight when Ming Qi arrived at Santai Town. His body was tattered and covered in blood, like someone who had crawled out of a pile of corpses.
Santai Town's reputation for prosperity was truly well-deserved. Although it was midnight, when Ming Qi entered the town, it was still a scene of bright lights.
"Santai Town, with its north-south connection and convenient transportation, truly cannot be compared to those small towns."
Ming Qi couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The Santai Town before him was no longer just a town; it was clearly a bustling city!
Walls, tall buildings, patrol guards, fortifications—everything was in place.
To avoid conspicuousness, Ming Qi pulled a black robe from his ring and casually donned it, then easily entered the town.
"It's said that Santai Town is under the protection of the Biyou Sect. I wonder if that's true."
Ming Qi pondered as he walked as a patrol approached.
"Hey, what are you doing sneaking around?"
The patrol captain immediately spotted Ming Qi, who was walking with his head lowered, and roared with a roar like thunder.
Ming Qi had just arrived in Santai Town and didn't want to cause trouble, so he stopped at the shout.
But Ming Qi was now drenched in the reek of blood, and the patrol captain could smell it from a distance, so he quickened his pace.
"Boy, covered in blood? A murderer and robber? Humph, you're unlucky to have fallen into my hands today!"
The patrol captain, a tall and burly figure, stood there like a wall. He stepped forward and accused Ming Qi of a crime without saying a word.
"A murderer and robber?"
Ming Qi sneered inwardly. This guy was just talking nonsense, fabricating charges right out of the blue. He definitely wasn't a good person. But for the moment, he remained calm, having made up his mind: if these people really thought he was a thief, then he wouldn't mind taking action.
At the patrol leader's roar, a dozen patrolmen quickly surrounded Ming Qi.
"General, I'm a passing merchant. I encountered bandits along the way and risked my life to escape here. Please give me some space."
"Merchant?"
"What merchant in this area doesn't know that Wild Wolf Ridge is a forbidden place at night? You're lying!"
The patrol leader had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that Ming Qi had come from Wild Wolf Ridge.
"Brothers, capture him and claim the reward!"
The patrol leader shouted, and the patrolmen quickly sprang into action. Some even drew ropes, ready to tie him up.
Five or six patrolmen were already charging forward, shouting.
"Looking for death!"
Ming Qi was furious. He'd been acting like a grandson, but these bastards were still pushing him further. He could only blame them for living too long.
Ming Qi raised his hands, clenched his fists with incredible speed, and swung them in both directions.
Suddenly, driven by the power of his fists, two mighty wolf howls pierced the night sky, and his fists condensed into the phantoms of wolf heads.
His fists, like leaping wolves, tore through the air and struck the patrolmen's chests.
Bang!
The two patrolmen's bodies instantly twisted and deformed, blood splattering in countless sprays as they were crushed on the spot.
The second Wolf Fist strike, a terrifying thought.
The moment Ming Qi unleashed his fist, the desolate wolf howl had already planted a terrifying thought in the enemy's soul, immersing them in boundless fear.
This punch, while poetic in its name, unleashed boundless terror and literal death.
Instantly killing the two patrolmen, Ming Qi remained expressionless.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't have eyes. Don't blame me!"
Ming Qi had already given in earlier, but it was a shame these guys didn't know how to advance or retreat. In his previous life, Ming Qi wouldn't have known how to spell the word "coward."
At this moment, the patrol captain was stunned with fear, staring intently at the two patrolmen whose bodies had been completely shattered. His throat was whirring, but he didn't know what to say.
He had been rampaging in Santai Town for many years and had seen all sorts of ruthless men, but the feeling he felt at this moment, with a hint of demonic presence, was the most terrifying he had ever felt.
"You, you, you... You're dead, ah!"
A moment later, the patrol captain let out a sudden scream and exclaimed, then turned and broke into a desperate run.
The other patrolmen were already trembling with fear, but they didn't dare to run first. Now, seeing their captain flee, they all fled like stray dogs.
"Want to run?"
A cruel glint flashed in Ming Qi's eyes. No matter what, they couldn't escape today. This was Santai Town's territory. Killing someone on their territory, leaving them alive, would surely lead to endless trouble.
Whoosh!
Ming Qi's figure flashed, his steps as fast as lightning, chasing the patrol leader.
At the same time, he clenched his right fist, ready to unleash the first punch of his Wolf Fist with bloodthirsty greed.
At the fifth level of the Acquired Realm, his body as light as a swallow. Ming Qi was like a fluttering swallow, and in the blink of an eye, he had pounced behind the patrol leader.
With one punch, he pierced the patrol leader's internal organs, scattering them all over the ground. The sheer gore of the scene alone would have made anyone else vomit, but Ming Qi remained impassive, his slightly eerie face devoid of even a flicker of emotion.
Having killed the patrol leader, Ming Qi didn't even pause for a second, chasing after the other patrol members.
In just a few dozen breaths, none of the patrol members escaped, all perished under Ming Qi's Wolf Fist.
The Wolf Fist, a combination of greed and bloodlust, was truly extraordinary.
He glanced at his blood-stained fingers, then headed towards the bustling center of Santai Town without looking back.
The night deepened, and under the dim streetlights, a long shadow cast behind Ming Qi.
"This man's attacks are incredibly ruthless; he might be worth considering."
Not far behind Ming Qi, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared in the gloomy sky. It appeared without a sound, as if it were nothing.
But faintly, one could make out his captivating eyes, gleaming against the night sky.
After a moment's observation, the figure suddenly waved his hand, and a beam of light shot out, instantly vanishing.
Then, the figure vanished into thin air.
"He's been following me for so long, and he's finally gone!"
At this moment, Ming Qi, who had been walking leisurely with his head down, finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had appeared remarkably calm earlier, his heart was in his throat. This invisible pressure came from the pair of eyes behind him.
Of course, he didn't see those eyes, but felt them.
At first, he suspected this person was in cahoots with the patrolmen, but since he had killed the patrolmen, the man hadn't come forward. This suggested that this hidden expert wasn't from Santai Town.
"That person is probably at least a Xiantian realm expert."
Xiantian masters are mysterious and unpredictable, their every move imbued with immense power. Even a glance is unmatched by a post-natal warrior. This is a key reason why Ming Qi found the person hiding behind him so terrifying.
Now that the hidden person had finally left, Ming Qi felt a sense of relief. He quickly found a restaurant to rest in, ordered hot water and food, and asked the servant to buy him a set of clean clothes.
After a brisk bath, Ming Qi suddenly looked much more energetic, and even the servant beside him couldn't help but admire him.
However, Ming Qi's arrival had given the servant a real shock; the stark contrast between the two had left him a bit overwhelmed.
"Sir, are you here to take the Biyou Sect entrance exam?"
Seeing Ming Qi leisurely eating, the servant asked cautiously.
"The Biyou Sect entrance exam?"
Hearing this, Ming Qi's face immediately lit up with a smile. This was truly a perfect opportunity; he had just been thinking about entering the Biyou Sect to train, and here he was.
"Tell me about the Biyou Sect entrance exam in detail; it will benefit you."
As Ming Qi spoke, he took out a few gold beads and placed them on the table. These gold beads were a common form of currency, made entirely of gold.
Seeing Ming Qi's generosity, the servant beamed with joy and immediately recounted the entire story of the Biyou Sect's entrance examination.
Because the Biyou Sect is relatively close to Santai Town, they send new members there every spring to recruit new disciples, hoping to discover talented individuals.
The content of this entrance examination varies each year, always arranged according to the sect leader's wishes.
The servant lingered on, recounting the story until Ming Qi finished his meal.
"Sir, you are a gifted and wealthy person. You will surely be recognized by the sect and soar to great heights."
The servant was full of flattery, showing no sign of embarrassment at all.
Ming Qi smiled, pushed the handful of golden beads in front of the servant, and said, "The Biyou Sect entrance exam will be in three days. I'm planning to give it a try. But for now, you have to do something for me. If you do it well, you'll naturally receive many benefits."
"Yes, yes!"
The servant was immediately flattered.
"Please help me find two people in Santai Town. A girl about fifteen or sixteen, with a boy about seven or eight. Let me know as soon as you have any news about them."
The people Ming Qi wanted to inquire about were, of course, Zi Yuan and Xiao Zhengyao.
"That's no problem, of course."
