Martial Saint with Passives

With no other choice, Jiang Che raised Kunji and slashed out.

The blade struck the leopard’s face, sending it flying.

"Who’s there!"

The group of beast-hide-clad Martial Artists noticed the commotion and turned to shout.

Jiang Che decided against getting involved and chose to flee into the mountains.

But before he could move, the large, braided man took a single stride and appeared in an instant, blocking his path.

’What a fast Body Technique!’

Jiang Che was startled.

Seeing this, the other men in beast hides quickly tied the hunters to a tree before rushing over.

They soon had Jiang Che completely surrounded.

The large, braided man looked at Jiang Che, then at the Blade-toothed Leopard with the deep gash on its face, and chuckled softly.

"This kid may only be in the Stone Skin Realm, but it looks like he’s got a few tricks up his sleeve."

The Leopard was injured, and seeing the sudden arrival of a group of people, it bared its fangs and growled continuously while slowly backing away.

With a flash, the large man drew the curved saber from his waist and leaped above the Leopard.

He then swung his saber casually. A silver light flashed, and the Leopard’s head was lopped off.

It seemed as easy as slicing a radish.

"Boss is incredible!"

"That’s our boss for you!"

The other men cheered.

The large, braided man wiped his curved saber on the Leopard’s hide, then walked toward Jiang Che.

Jiang Che didn’t want a conflict with them, so he said:

"Sirs, I didn’t see a thing just now, and I have no idea who you are..."

"You really didn’t see anything?" the large man asked as he closed in.

"I swear, I really didn’t see a thing," Jiang Che said, slowly backing away. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Is that so?"

The large man smiled and raised his curved saber.

The others, blades in hand, also began to close in.

Jiang Che knew this wouldn’t end peacefully.

He tightened his grip on Kunji and suddenly slashed at a man behind him!

The man hastily raised his blade to block, but he was sent flying, blade and all.

Jiang Che seized the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and run!

"After him!" the large man roared, giving chase.

Although he was enormous, his speed was extreme, and in an instant, he was right behind Jiang Che.

Sensing his approach, Jiang Che spun around and slashed, but the large man blocked it with his own saber.

But Jiang Che used the force of the rebound to launch himself several yards away, instantly widening the gap between them.

The large man was somewhat surprised.

After blocking Jiang Che’s attack, his hand was actually slightly numb.

’This Stone Skin Realm kid... how is his strength so great?’

When Jiang Che had sent the Blade-toothed Leopard and his subordinate flying, he hadn’t paid it much mind.

He could tell that Jiang Che’s blade was no Mortal Grade weapon.

He’d seen people like that before—those who relied on powerful weapons and special cultivation techniques to achieve combat strength far beyond their Realm.

But now that he’d experienced it firsthand, he realized the kid’s strength was simply absurd!

He himself was already Half-Step into the Realm, completely in a different league from those at the Mid Stage of the Iron Skin Realm.

But this kid could actually push even him back?!

’Could it be an Innate Iron Body?!’

At this thought, the large man’s expression turned joyous.

’If I offer this kid to my foster father, he’ll surely be delighted!’

He instantly circulated his Qi Blood at full power, and his speed surged once more.

With a light push of his feet, he leaped from tree to tree and appeared before Jiang Che in a flash!

Jiang Che skidded to a halt.

He knew he couldn’t escape.

He sighed, stabbed his blade into the ground, and began to take off his clothes.

The large man was curious, wondering what Jiang Che was up to.

But he wasn’t concerned. He strolled over leisurely, blade in hand.

BOOM—

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Jiang Che.

The large man stared at Jiang Che in astonishment.

He watched as the young man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, suddenly transformed into a Black Armored Martial Artist over two meters tall!

Although he didn’t know what had happened, the large man was completely unafraid.

He had absolute confidence in his own strength.

With a flash, he appeared in front of the Black Armored Martial Artist.

He raised the curved saber in his hand high, ready to strike.

But he suddenly found that his saber wouldn’t come down.

It seemed to be stuck on something.

He looked up and saw a giant, black-gauntleted hand gripping his saber’s blade.

He tugged, but couldn’t pull it free.

Then, he saw the Black Armored Martial Artist clench his fist and shatter the blade!

The large man’s pupils contracted.

What kind of Strange Power was this, to shatter his saber?

But he had no time to think, because the Black Armored Martial Artist’s other fist was already flying toward him!

He raised his arms to block, but was sent flying backward by the single blow!
