Chapter 368 Chest Expansion Exercises
Not long after, the study door was quietly pushed open, and two slender women in black slipped in like thieves.
Zhang Fan was sitting on the ground wiping the red ink off his face when he looked up and saw two more people sneaking in. His heart skipped a beat.
He quickly shrank back, pointing urgently towards the door, "Don't make a move! You're too late! The martial arts manual was already snatched away by a burly man in black. You can still catch up!"
The two female assassins were taken aback and looked at each other in surprise.
The female assassin on the left quickly pulled off her mask, revealing a delicate face, and respectfully clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "Master Immortal, it's us. The Sect Master sent us to help you with your charade... You just said the secret manual was really stolen?"
Zhang Fan's voice stopped abruptly, and he froze on the spot.
Looking at the two assassins in front of him, and recalling the burly man in black who was as strong as a bear and whom he had slapped a few times...
Zhang Fan belatedly realized what was happening and gasped in shock.
A layer of cold sweat seeped out on my back!
Grass!
The man in black who just hit himself on the head and even threatened him with a broken stun gun was not Tuo'er sent by Mi Yueyao at all, but a real killer.
hiss!
I actually narrowly escaped death and survived; it's like my ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke!
Zhang Fan patted his chest, still shaken.
But then, his mind changed:
Since the one who stole the manual was a real assassin, and now the entire city's martial arts community is frantically hunting him down, wouldn't it be better to skip the act altogether and just make it real?
This move to shift the blame eastward was even more perfect than the original plan!
"Hahahaha!"
Having figured this out, Zhang Fan slapped his thigh and sat down on the ground, laughing so hard he was doubled over.
The sudden burst of maniacal laughter seemed particularly eerie in the somewhat messy study.
The two female assassins were so frightened that they both took half a step back, watching with trepidation.
It's over! It's over!
What's wrong with this immortal master?
A man was sitting on the ground, his face covered in blood, yet he was laughing so maniacally!
Could it be that he went insane from the shock of having his secret manual stolen?
The female assassin on the left steeled herself and stepped forward, kneeling on one knee. She cautiously pleaded for forgiveness: "My lord, we are late and failed to cooperate with the performance in time. Please punish us!"
"May I ask, Immortal Master... shall we continue this charade? Or would you like to provide another secret manual?"
"Act? No, no, no!"
Zhang Fan laughed until tears almost streamed down his face. He quickly stood up and waved his hand, "You don't need to apologize. Not only are you innocent, you've done an excellent job!"
The two female assassins were completely bewildered and had no idea what to do.
Zhang Fan suppressed his smile and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, tonight's mission has been exceeded."
You all just need to go back and rest. You don't need to do anything else; just quietly watch and let this matter develop further!
……
Meanwhile, in a dense forest outside Xianyang City.
Lu Zhang lay panting heavily, covered in blood, in the dense bushes.
After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, he finally escaped from the horde of pursuers who were like mad dogs.
But there's no time to rest right now.
He knew that all the martial arts practitioners in the city were frantically searching the mountains, and staying in place would definitely mean certain death.
"These mad dogs!"
Lu Zhang wiped the blood off his face and cursed under his breath.
What broke his defenses even more was that the one who had been chasing him the most fiercely just now was none other than Shadow, who was traveling with him!
That bastard probably thought he was going to keep the secret manual for himself, so he used every move to kill, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces!
"Fine! Since you disregard brotherhood, don't blame me for being ruthless! This unparalleled martial arts skill is mine alone!"
Despite the excruciating pain all over his body, Lu Zhang quickly got up and, using the weeds as cover, continued to flee towards the remote western mountains.
As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight began to appear.
Lu Zhang finally found an extremely hidden cave halfway up the mountain.
After confirming that he was safe, he slumped down on the damp ground and happily pulled out the brocade book he had risked half his life for from his bosom.
The cover prominently displays four large characters: "The Sunflower Manual"!
"Sunflower Manual... What a name! Just hearing it makes you think of a peerless martial art that rivals the power of heaven and earth!"
Lu Zhang was so excited that he trembled all over, his eyes filled with fervor for dominating the martial arts world in the future.
He took a deep breath and eagerly turned to the first page of the brocade book.
However, the moment he saw the contents, the ecstasy on his face froze.
He froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
On the yellowed silk, eight large, blood-red characters were clearly written:
"To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself."
Lu Zhang's eyes widened like copper bells, and his mind went blank as if a thunderclap had exploded.
Cut it off?
This peerless martial art is about to be eradicated?
He stared blankly at the manual, feeling a chill run through his body, and a thought of retreat suddenly arose in his heart.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, the humiliation of being chased all over the city last night, the mysterious master's strange lightning magic weapon, and the shadow's venomous and deadly blade flashed through his mind one after another.
The fear and anger in my heart gradually boiled over.
If he doesn't practice this peerless martial art, given his current exposed situation, once those mad dogs outside find him, he will surely be torn to pieces and die without a complete corpse!
In the days to come, they will face endless pursuit!
To survive, and to crush all those who look down on him and hunt him down, the only way is to become stronger!
Anger and the thirst for power ultimately overwhelmed reason.
"Damn it, I'll fight to the death! Even if it means losing my life, I must take revenge! I'll make sure you all die without a burial place!"
Lu Zhang's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.
He gritted his teeth, flicked his wrist, and pulled a gleaming, sharp knife from his waist.
He glanced down, took a deep breath, and swiftly brought the knife down.
Not long after.
"ah!!"
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out from the cave, startling countless birds into flight from the forest.
Lu Zhang was writhing on the ground in pain, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, but his eyes gleamed with a morbid fanaticism.
He gritted his teeth, his hands trembling, and eagerly turned to the second page of the "Sunflower Manual".
"Come! Let me see just how powerful this divine skill, which rivals the creation of heaven and earth, truly is!"
However, when he endured the excruciating pain and saw the movements of the little figures drawn on the silk scroll, he was stunned once again.
The first pose depicts a small figure with arms outstretched, chest expanding outwards, accompanied by a mnemonic:
[First Movement: Chest Expansion Exercise. Inhale, exhale, extend your arms, and feel the vital energy of heaven and earth flowing into your chest cavity.]
Turn the page.
[Second exercise: Leg kicking.]
[Third Movement: Body Rotation.]
……
Lu Zhang stared blankly at these strange movements, a question mark slowly appearing on his forehead.
What the hell is this thing?
Is this the ultimate martial art?
Indeed, the greatest truths are the simplest, and we return to the essence of things!
This must be an unparalleled divine skill that requires extremely high comprehension to comprehend!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhang ignored the excruciating pain in his groin, forced himself to stand up, and began meticulously practicing "chest expansion exercises" in the cave...
