Kill Me More Times, I'll Become Invincible-Chapter 380:

"Is this martial arts?"

"I’ve heard that the Qiao family possesses extraordinary skills that are out of this world. Those who have seen it with their own eyes say that their skills are not ordinary martial arts. Seeing it today, it’s indeed extraordinary!"

Sheriff Qian listened carefully, and the slight doubt that had just risen in his heart quickly faded away.

Yes.

Sheriff Qian’s martial arts skills were not very strong, at the peak he was an 8th rank, but now he is a 9th rank. His martial arts foundation and perspective are quite ordinary.

Maybe it’s his own limited perspective that’s causing him to be wrong?

Sheriff Qian started to have some doubts in his mind.

At this moment.

"Lord Lou is here." The big man guarding the door whispered.

Then a middle-aged man with a smile at the corner of his mouth strode in.

This middle-aged man looked a bit chubby, and even the large official robe couldn’t hide his slightly protruding belly.

The middle-aged man looked kind, but when his eyes scanned the crowd, they unknowingly stepped back, like rocks parting water.

Sheriff Qian also took a few steps back like everyone else, feeling a bit shocked.

This Lord Lou is no ordinary person.

In his prime, he was a martial artist at the fourth rank of internal strength, single-handedly supporting the Lou family and serving as the fourth-ranked prefect of the city. In the old days of Heyang City, he was considered the top figure under the Immortal Gate, almost like a local emperor.

However, in recent years with the rise of the South King "Songhe," Lord Lou has been astute. He was the first prefect in Nan Province to surrender his city.

Hence, this man is regarded as a staunch supporter of the "South King faction" among the people in Nan Province.

"Elder Lao, I’ve long heard of your great name." Governor Lou smiled as he approached and warmly shook hands with Qiao Jinyin.

"I heard that Elder Lao is preparing to teach martial arts in Heyang City recently?" Governor Lou smiled and asked.

"My son has been nagging me about this for days. He insists that if we miss this opportunity, we’ll regret it for a lifetime."

"After all, the Qiao family’s martial arts skills are well-known in Jiu Province. If the son can learn even just a little from Elder Lao, it will benefit him for life."

Behind Governor Lou, a slightly shy teenager of about fifteen or sixteen stood there, occasionally looking up at Qiao Jinyin with undisguised admiration.

"Thank you, Lord Lou," the old man Qiao Jinyin also smiled.

"I’m almost at the end of my life, holding onto my family’s martial arts secrets. What else can I do? Jiu Province is in turmoil now, I just want to teach a bit more martial arts, not to enlighten the world, but to pass on my skills and knowledge to more people," said the old man.

"Elder Lao, your righteousness is admirable," Lord Lou’s eyes lit up as he sighed.

"In the past, the martial arts families of Jiu Province were numerous. Anyone who had some skills would treasure their martial arts secrets, not only keeping it to themselves, but even withholding it from their disciples," said Elder Lao.

"Martial Saint said he was breaking the barriers between different schools, but he was actually breaking the barriers within the martial arts schools, collecting martial arts from major schools for his Wuji Association," explained Lord Lou.

"Only members of the Qiao family have extraordinary beliefs. They possess incredible martial arts skills, yet they are willing to teach outsiders… it’s something others wouldn’t do, but they can," praised Lord Lou.

"Admiration, admiration…"

Lord Lou and Qiao Jinyin had a polite and lively conversation.

Qiao Jinyin spoke confidently and gracefully, showing a respectable demeanor. Both of them sat and talked as equals, catching the attention of Sheriff Qian in the courtyard.

The two of them chatted enthusiastically, gradually shifting the conversation to martial arts.

Lord Lou was a 4th rank martial artist. Although he had not been in battle for many years due to his high status, his knowledge and skills were still there.

So when they talked about this topic, even the idle people in the courtyard like Sheriff Qian immediately perked up.

"The martial arts of my Qiao family are based on the Long Life Fist. It’s not just about fighting techniques, but also about health preservation," Qiao Jinyin talked confidently.

"There are many people in my Qiao family, and I am just one of the few with modest martial arts skills. I may not excel in combat skills, but I have some new insights on health preservation," he continued.

In front of the master of the house, Qiao Jinyin didn’t rush to talk about martial arts, but instead, he enthusiastically discussed health preservation.

However, this made everyone, including Sheriff Qian and Lord Lou, become interested.

Sheriff Qian’s heart suddenly twitched, feeling quite reasonable.

The martial arts Qiao family, known as the "longevity Qiao family" among the people.

They have produced many elderly people, each one turning out to be better at fighting than the last.

The man in front of him, Qiao Jinyin, seemed to be in his seventies.

But in reality, just like the many elders of the Qiao family, rumored to be over a hundred years old, maybe even comparable to the legendary martial arts founding Emperor Yan?

In this world, martial artists, even high-quality ones, in their seventies or eighties, inevitably experience a decline in energy and blood, showing signs of old age, and a fall might easily result in broken bones.

Yet Qiao Jinyin before his eyes looked sharp and spirited, clearly not an ordinary person, obviously possessing real skills…

"It seems my vision is limited…" Sheriff Qian thought to himself.

The faint doubts in his heart were pushed aside by him.

Of course, there is another important reason, the money for boxing lessons has already been paid.

Not only did he save up a hundred taels of silver through hard work, but he also had valuable spiritual herbs worth a thousand taels. It wouldn’t make sense to take them back.

"Let the child practice first." Sheriff Qian stood in the crowd, with his eyes lowered.

"After all, even Governor Lou’s own children are practicing boxing here, right?"

……………………..

Several days later.

In the inn in Heyang City, there was a dashing young man in blood-stained clothes. His face was like jade, handsome and noble, attracting the gaze of those around unconsciously.

"In this Nan Province, it seems like only a few people recognize me, Xue Changhe."

Xue Changhe, with a tired look on his face, sat aside drinking tea, quietly listening to the chattering of the guests from the martial world around him.

After meeting his Third Uncle, he took the medicine, traveled through the night, and hurried to Nan Province to visit the "Peach Blossom Villa."

However, he did not know where Peach Blossom Villa was located, so he first arrived in Heyang City.

After listening carefully to the discussions of the people around him, Xue Changhe’s face immediately revealed an unmistakable look of joy.

"It’s like finding something effortlessly after searching everywhere in vain."

"Is it Mr. Qiao Pianxin who is teaching martial arts in this town? Then I have arrived at a perfect time."
