Chapter 44: Chapter 44, Single-horned Rhinoceros (Please recommend, please favorite)

Looking at the ground full of corpses, Chu Ming felt no guilt, fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

These people had hands and feet, and their cultivation was not weak. If they had lived properly, they could have done well, but they absolutely should not have become mountain bandits.

What are mountain bandits? They indiscriminately kill innocents, bully men and dominate women. The women earlier must have been captured by them for pleasure.

Such people should die! Chu Ming cut off the head of the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Stronghold, wrapped it in black cloth, and placed it in his storage ring. Then he searched him and found a martial technique book, which he put into his storage ring without looking at it.

"You find some clothes to put on, and then gather the mountain bandits’ wealth. I’ll give you all a share."

In a cave, Chu Ming found more than ten trembling women and spoke.

"Young hero, we still have many sisters imprisoned in the cells," a woman said, gathering her courage.

Chu Ming replied, "Take me there."

The bandits in the cell were obviously unaware of the drastic changes outside. Seeing Chu Ming, each of them loudly questioned his identity.

Chu Ming didn’t bother talking to them and killed them one by one with his sword,

The women captured by the bandits were very numerous, altogether over sixty. After being rescued by Chu Ming, they couldn’t help but weep.

Chu Ming sighed; these women were indeed pitiful. Even returning to their previous environment, they would likely face discrimination.

Women captured by bandits find it very hard to retain their purity.

"Don’t cry. I know you feel bad, and the road ahead will be tough. But crying won’t change things now. Let’s gather the bandits’ wealth, and when we reach the city, I’ll give each of you a share. I believe with this wealth, you can start a new life." Chu Ming said.

Under Chu Ming’s encouragement, everyone started busying themselves with searching the bandits’ wealth.

Three hundred thousand taels of gold!

The lair of Black Cloud Stronghold had three hundred thousand taels of gold, which was a massive fortune. It’s unimaginable how many villages and towns Black Cloud Stronghold had looted, but the stolen gold was far more than this because they also had to maintain the huge expenses within the bandits.

A day later, in Blue Snow City.

"Two thousand taels of silver per person. After this, you all must take care of yourselves."

Renting out the second floor of an inn, Chu Ming took out more than sixty silver notes and placed them on the table, giving one to each of these women.

With two thousand taels of silver, as long as they don’t squander it, they won’t have to worry for the rest of their lives.

"Thank you, great hero, for your immense kindness. There’s nothing we can do to repay you, but in the next life, we will serve you as oxen and horses!"

"Thank you for your kindness, great hero, we will never forget it!"

Over sixty women expressed their gratitude simultaneously, to be honest, Chu Ming was somewhat moved.

Parting with the women, Chu Ming didn’t immediately proceed to the next task but found an inn to stay in.

At night, in the guest room on the second floor of the inn.

Chu Ming sorted out his storage ring and took out the martial technique book he had found on the Great Village Chief earlier today. Opening it, his face changed.

It was actually a Profound Level martial technique book, though only a Low Tier Profound Level martial technique, it was still extremely precious. This martial technique was a palm technique called "Gale Palm."

Chu Ming slowly read through the secret manual, his comprehension of Gale Palm constantly rising in his mind. Just one read-through, and his understanding was already comparable to others who had practiced it hundreds of times, demonstrating the abnormal comprehension ability of the Guiyuan Realm.

All night long, Chu Ming was cultivating the recently acquired Gale Palm, the myriad insights about Gale Palm flooded his mind.

At dawn, Chu Ming closed the secret manual and exhaled a turbid breath. Although Profound Level martial techniques are quite profound, Chu Ming had studied Gale Palm throughout the night. Even though he hadn’t achieved mastery yet, he had reached great success. What he lacked now was practical experience, and through actual combat, he should soon reach mastery.

After breakfast, Chu Ming rode his Blue Star Horse and set off. Apart from this task, all remaining tasks had to be completed in the Cyan Yang Mountain Range. Throughout the journey, Chu Ming encountered many mountain bandits, but this time he didn’t draw his sword, solving everything with Gale Palm to hone his real-world combat skills. Within just two days, he had mastered Gale Palm.

On the way, he inadvertently heard that many sects in the Great Yan Kingdom had been quietly destroyed. Although the Five Great Sects dominate, there are many other sects in the Great Yan Kingdom. But the Five Great Sects have the strongest strength and the most significant advantage.

Beast tide, sect extermination...

All of this hinted at major events about to occur in the Great Yan Kingdom, but Chu Ming didn’t worry much about Cyan Yang Sect. Since only small sects were being destroyed, it indicated that the forces in the shadows weren’t stronger than the Five Great Sects.

It’s important to know that behind each of the Five Great Sects, there are Supreme Elders who are strong in the Guiyuan Realm. While they may not be dominant in the Celestial Realm, they are absolute overlords in the Great Yan Kingdom, able to deter any evildoers.

After another half day’s travel, Chu Ming arrived at the Cyan Yang Mountain Range. He entrusted his Blue Star Horse to the inn in a small town and ventured alone into the Cyan Yang Mountain Range. Upon arrival, he had to be extremely cautious. Traversing the dense forest, his figure slowly disappeared into the depths of the jungle...

Half a month later, in the Cyan Yang Mountain Range.

In a dense forest, Chu Ming walked quietly, his mind pondering, "Seven tasks, including the task to eradicate Black Cloud Stronghold, I have already completed five, only two remain."

Continuous sect tasks had left Chu Ming extremely exhausted. For the past half month, he hadn’t properly rested. In the Cyan Yang Mountain Range, he had to guard against demon beasts and be vigilant of other martial artists.

Martial artists training in this area aren’t merciful; some even come to the Cyan Yang Mountain Range to specifically kill martial artists and rob them of their demon beast materials and assets to quickly earn spirit stones and money.

Fortunately, the hard work had paid off. Chu Ming had now completed five tasks. When he turned them in, the rewards for these five tasks alone would amount to twenty thousand contribution points.

While Chu Ming was deep in thought, suddenly, the roar of a demon beast resounded.

"Moo!"

A giant demon beast, resembling a cow, appeared not far in front of Chu Ming. The beast was three meters tall and nearly five meters long, with two sharp horns on its head and rough, dark hide like iron, extremely hard.

It was clear that this demon beast had formidable defense.

Chu Ming looked at it and joyfully exclaimed, "A fourth-level middle-tier demon beast, Single-horned Rhinoceros! Just in time, there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, you barge into hell instead. I’ve been looking for you for half a month but never found you; I can’t believe I ran into you by chance today!"

Since he encountered it, Chu Ming naturally wouldn’t be polite. The Single-horned Rhinoceros is an overlord among fourth-level middle-tier demon beasts, comparable to a martial artist at the eighth layer of the Transcendence Realm, even stronger than the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Stronghold.

Chu Ming empowered his feet and lightly stepped, his body instantly soared into the air like a majestic bird of prey. Simultaneously, his body split into four in mid-air, attacking the Single-horned Rhinoceros from four different directions, with threads of Flowing Flame crossing his palms, constantly bursting. With the support of the sixth layer Cyan Yuan Technique, Chu Ming’s palm strike was powerful enough to forge iron and melt gold.

"Gale Palm!"

It was the mastered Gale Palm; this was the first time Chu Ming had pushed Gale Palm to its limits. The small mountain bandits he encountered on the road only required three or four tenths of Gale Palm’s power, enough to turn them to ashes with Chu Ming’s deep spiritual power.

Seeing the enemy attack, the Single-horned Rhinoceros roared angrily. Its two gigantic lantern-sized eyes fixed on Chu Ming, a hint of mockery in its gaze, as if ridiculing Chu Ming for his overestimation, hitting a rock with an egg.

The Single-horned Rhinoceros roared and, relying on its tough skin and sharp horns, charged directly at Chu Ming. The ground trembled slightly, and dust scattered in all directions.

Boom

Gale Palm struck the Single-horned Rhinoceros’s hide, and a massive wave of flame swept out from Chu Ming’s palm. The Rhinoceros’s lantern-sized eyes were filled with terror, its body immediately trying to retreat.

Chu Ming wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. He clenched his right fist, his right arm’s muscles bulging, fist tightly gripping, fist heart forward. A punch aimed at the Rhinoceros’s head, a flash of gold passing by, gold light like a dragon, the golden tail of the punch flickering, madly bombarding the head.

Punch!

The ground cracked and sank directly, the massive body of the Single-horned Rhinoceros being pressed into it. It bled from seven orifices, limbs convulsing, and in a moment, it was dead silent.
