With Lai Chang's strength, as long as he doesn't encounter a Martial Artist of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

"Don't worry, I'm always very careful."

Lai Chang chuckled.

He glanced at Lin Zheyu, who was eating, and slipped out of the inn through the back door.

It was already dark outside, but there were still many pedestrians.

"Heh, let's see what secrets you really hold."

Lai Chang smirked coldly.

If it weren't for his apprehension towards Lin Zheyu, he would have already made a move on Liang Yuhan.

Seeing that no one was around, Lai Chang swiftly climbed up to the second floor of the inn, arriving outside Lin Zheyu's room window.

With a strong push, he opened the window and slipped inside.

Lai Chang began searching through the room, hoping to find something useful.

He had some interest in Lin Zheyu.

Every few days, Lin Zheyu would leave the caravan and venture alone into the mountains, returning in a weakened state.

This peculiar behavior had caught his attention.

Not just his, but many in the caravan noticed it, though they didn't investigate further.

"Is he practicing some evil cultivation technique, or is there a mistake in his Cultivation Technique causing him to go mad?"

"Or maybe there's another reason?"

Lai Chang murmured.

He searched around but found nothing of use.

"Poisoning skills with some finesse, but too immature."

Lai Chang touched the large box by the bed, sniffed lightly at his nose, and spoke with disdain.

Having traveled extensively for years, he wouldn't have survived if he didn't understand enough about poisons.

Clang—

He took out a dagger from his bosom and, with a strong swing, smashed the large lock on the box.

"Let's see what treasures are inside…"

"Hmm?"

"Is this… heavy armor?"

"What is this?"

Lai Chang looked at the heavy armor inside the box with a puzzled expression.

He weighed the armor in his hand, finding it incredibly heavy.

"Why is this kid carrying such heavy armor, could it be that he's also practicing a Body Refining Technique?"

Lai Chang wondered.

Lin Zheyu's Leg Skill had reached an extraordinary level; even wearing five hundred kilograms of heavy armor, he still moved with the lightness of a swallow.

For months, no one noticed that he always wore heavy armor when he went out.

Bang—

Suddenly, the door burst open with a bang.

"Found what you were looking for?"

Lin Zheyu's indifferent voice rang out.

Lai Chang was startled and sprang toward the window.

Whoosh~

A powerful gust of wind came from behind, causing his heart to skip a beat.

"Such speed!"

He was shocked.

Lai Chang excelled in Leg Skill, and with his outstanding Body Technique and formidable strength, he could roam unchallenged in Bafang City.

But now, his prized Lightweight Skill was completely outmatched.

Bang!

Lai Chang twisted his waist forcibly, changing direction abruptly.

The power of Qi Blood exploded violently within his body, unleashing triple strength.

His years of experience made him decide immediately to go all out, prepared to risk his life.

Whoosh—

A silver gleam flashed instantly.

From somewhere, Lai Chang pulled out a uniquely shaped short blade, stabbing back toward the source of the wind.

The short blade was a high-grade weapon forged from black iron, Lai Chang's most favored weapon.

He was an assassin-type Martial Artist, relying on his strong Body Technique to quickly close in and deliver a lethal strike.

Lin Zheyu's face was calm, even showing a hint of a cold smile in the face of Lai Chang's fierce attack.

He swiftly shifted from a fist to a palm, slightly sidestepping to easily dodge Lai Chang's attack.

With a sudden thrust, he grabbed Lai Chang's wrist holding the short blade.

Terrible force surged from his palm, the bones in Lai Chang's wrist cracking as Lin Zheyu crushed them.

"Dammit!"

Lai Chang was terrified.

It was the first time he encountered such a formidable opponent.

The person before him far exceeded his expectations, at least at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm level.

Lai Chang couldn't care about his shattered right arm, his Life-or-death Secret Skill roared into action, causing the power of Qi Blood within him to boil.

"Oh!"

Lin Zheyu exclaimed.

His enhanced perception from the Turtle Breath Skill was exceedingly sharp, instantly noticing Lai Chang's rapidly escalating aura.

Clearly, Lai Chang also knew similar Life-or-death Skills like the Blood Boiling Secret Skill.

Such potential-exploding skills required time to operate.

Though brief, this interval was already enough for a Martial Artist of Lin Zheyu's level.

He clenched his left fist, muscles bulging as the power of sixfold Qi Blood exploded violently.

Bang!

His fist pierced through Lai Chang's chest as if it were mere paper.

Puff—

Lai Chang spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes wide with amazement and unwillingness.

From the moment they met to his demise, it had taken less than ten seconds.

Casually tossing the body to the ground, blood gushed from the hole in Lai Chang's chest.

"Too bloody."

Lin Zheyu looked at the bloodstained floor, frowning slightly.

Lai Chang was weaker than he had imagined.

With just one punch, without even using full strength, he had pierced through the opponent's chest, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Martial Artists of the Qi Blood Realm mostly had high attack power but low defense.

With the explosive power of Qi Blood, they had powerful attack power, but their defense lagged.

Only upon reaching the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, when Martial Dao was refined into the bone marrow, would the Martial Artist's physique grow significantly.

Lin Zheyu had also been like this before, high attack but low defense.

Afterward, cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon compensated for this weakness.

Wiping the bloodstain from his hand, Lin Zheyu squatted down and began searching through Lai Chang's possessions.
