The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Third Class Merit! Selecting Initiated Martial Arts!

Without wasting any words with Wu Huacheng, Su Hao strode toward him. With each step he took, an invisible pressure caused Wu Huacheng’s heart to convulse, cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Just moments before, Su Hao’s overwhelming strike not only incapacitated one of Wu Huacheng’s arms but also damaged his internal organs, rendering him incapable of escaping!

“Big Brother, run away now!”

A furious shout rang out. The Thick-browed Man wielding a whip stood in front, energizing his strength. The thick iron whip in his hand moved like a python, making a clanging sound as it scraped against the air. With his single-arm strength of a thousand pounds, he swung it with all his might, capable of severing a person in half!

However, facing the attack of the Thick-browed Man, Su Hao remained unfazed. He channeled his Core Strength, rapidly compressing his Strength Force, which then exploded, propelling his right palm forward with a swift strike, producing a howling wind that resembled a sudden storm.

“Crack! Crack!”

The iron whip emitted a groan under the tremendous burden, sparks flew as the entire whip shattered, being sucked back by the force of Su Hao’s palm strike.

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

Amidst the sounds of flesh tearing, the Thick-browed Man was caught off guard. His body was pierced by the metallic fragments propelled by the immense force, producing blood holes all over him. Blood streamed down as his eyes widened in shock, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.

These Blood Wind Bandits were all skilled fighters, but in Su Hao’s eyes, they were no different from worthless chickens. If he were serious, he could kill them with a mere flick of his hand!

Wu Huacheng struggled to crawl up, forcing himself to stay calm as he said, “I admit defeat… but we have no grudges. You come to kill me merely for that third-class merit, aiming to exchange it for wealth and secret books. If you spare my life, I am willing to pass on the ‘Blood Bat Devil Art’ that I have cultivated.”

“This martial art is a Demon Art, no less than most initiated martial arts, and it’s quick to advance in practice…”

Wu Huacheng was unwilling to give up his chance at survival and sought to exchange the Demon Art he had cultivated for Su Hao’s mercy. Su Hao paused momentarily, seemingly intrigued. Wu Huacheng felt a rush of hope, ready to say more, but the next moment, his pupils constricted sharply.

“Pfft!”

In the next second, Su Hao stepped forward, crossing several steps in an instant to appear right in front of Wu Huacheng. His right hand, with the middle and index fingers aligned, thrust into the area of Wu Huacheng’s heart, the force piercing through and penetrating his heart!

“Cursed…”

Wu Huacheng’s lips twitched, his eyes filled with unwillingness, while his body collapsed lifelessly to the ground, unable to close his eyes in death.

He had once been at the height of his power, indulging in life and death, but now he ended up as the trophy of an inexperienced Blade Catcher in this desolate mountain!

Wu Huacheng had cultivated a Demon Art that should belong to the Initiated Level, but seeing his crazy demeanor, even devouring human hearts, it was clear that the side effects of this Demon Art were quite severe. Su Hao was not very interested in it. Killing Wu Huacheng and claiming his head was enough to obtain the initiated martial arts he sought.

“Want to escape? Everyone, together! Don’t let this evil thief get away!”

At that moment, the Blue-clad Middle-aged Man shouted, noticing the remaining bandits, who, seeing the danger, intended to sneak away quietly.

“Kill him!”

The members of the Liu Family, having previously been coerced into providing food and other necessities to the bandits, with their own family members murdered by them, would not miss this chance for revenge. They surrounded and attacked the remaining bandits.

The bandits, demoralized by the deaths of Wu Huacheng and the others, had little will to resist and were slaughtered by the members of the Liu Family with ruthless strikes.

“This hero… thank you for slaying these evil thieves and ridding the world of harm!”

The Blue-clad Middle-aged Man approached, expressing his immense gratitude to Su Hao.

“You don’t need to thank me; I’m only here to collect his head for the bounty,” Su Hao said nonchalantly. He was not some righteous hero fighting for justice; without any benefits, he wouldn’t have come to kill Wu Huacheng. After all, fighting for one’s life could also lead to one’s own death!

After saying that, Su Hao quickly searched through the bodies of Wu Huacheng and the others, as well as the small courtyard they inhabited.

However, there were no significant finds; Wu Huacheng and his group had been fleeing for their lives, so it was natural they wouldn’t carry any treasures. Additionally, in the small courtyard, Su Hao discovered two mummified corpses, one male and one female, both in a tragic state of death.

“Master, Miss… those damned thieves… they shouldn’t have died so easily!”

Upon seeing the two corpses, the members of the Liu Family erupted with grief and anger. These two were indeed their young master and young lady, who had been taken hostage by Wu Huacheng and his men. However, it was clear that the captors had already harmed them, leaving behind only two mummified corpses!

Yet, they also understood that the Liu Family was fortunate amid misfortune. If it weren’t for the Blade Catcher Wen Tailai’s arrival, it was likely that the Liu Family would have faced slaughter at the hands of these bandits!

Su Hao, witnessing this scene, quietly shook his head. The world operated on a principle of the weak being preyed upon by the strong; the weak could only resign themselves to fate and hope for their luck in the presence of more ruthless individuals!

After severing Wu Huacheng’s head and wrapping it in cloth, Su Hao did not linger and set off to return to Evergreen City, encountering no further incidents along the way.

By the time Su Hao returned to the patrol office in Evergreen City, it was already deep into the night.

Upon hearing of Su Hao’s return, Department Head Gongsun Xiu promptly met him.

“Department Head Gongsun, this is Wu Huacheng’s head. Please confirm it.”

Seeing Gongsun Xiu, Su Hao wasted no time; he placed the cloth on the table and unfolded it, revealing Wu Huacheng’s severed head, with his eyes wide open in death.

Gongsun Xiu said nothing as he carefully inspected it, first checking to see if the facial features matched the information he had on hand, while also feeling the strength of the flesh and bones.

For powerful Martial Artists, the hardness of their bones and muscles far exceeds that of ordinary people; this aspect cannot be faked!

“Indeed, this is Wu Huacheng’s head… Did Wen Tailai really go and take care of him?”

After a while, Gongsun Xiu confirmed that the head was genuine and not fabricated; it was indeed Wu Huacheng’s head. He was internally astonished.

Wu Huacheng was able to escape the hands of a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist, yet he had died at the hands of a Martial Artist whom Gongsun Xiu had never even heard of until now!

Of course, Su Hao’s ability to kill Wu Huacheng didn’t mean he was stronger than the Transforming Tendon Martial Artist who had been chasing Wu Huacheng.

Faced with a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist, Wu Huacheng would clearly have prioritized evasion and survival.

However, against someone like Su Hao, who was not well-known, Wu Huacheng chose to confront him directly, giving Su Hao the chance to seize the moment, unleash his Core Strength, and deliver a devastating blow that left Wu Huacheng with no opportunity to escape!

“Brother Wen, I will report this matter to my superiors; you will definitely receive that Third Class Merit. If you wish to exchange it for Initiated Level Martial Arts, I have a list here. You can choose any one of the Initiated Martial Arts, and it will be delivered to you in three days!”

Regaining his composure, Gongsun Xiu spoke seriously, confirming Su Hao’s achievements as he took out a scroll he had prepared in advance and handed it to Su Hao.

“Finally, I will get my hands on deeper Martial Arts!”

A flicker of excitement ignited in Su Hao’s eyes. He had only practiced Basic Martial Arts, but with his potential and talent, studying Initiated Martial Arts was sure to lead to significant progress!
