I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 217 - 168: Emerging Talent

The Seven Heroes of Qinghe County dared to step forward so openly because they had confidence.

First, they had more people, and second, most of those present were righteous individuals. They believed that in a real fight, they would have the upper hand, and by speaking first, they would easily leave behind the reputation of being on the righteous path.

"Rapists? You’re calling us rapists?" The five bizarre figures immediately turned their heads in surprise.

"Using such filthy language in broad daylight, aren’t you rapists! I see the girls you’re carrying must have been forcibly taken. Since we’ve encountered this, it’s only natural we can’t stand by and do nothing. If you don’t want trouble, let these ladies go," shouted the leader of the Seven Heroes of Qinghe County.

At this moment, he indeed looked righteous and had his own kind of prestige.

Bam!

But in just the blink of an eye, a withered and wrinkled hand had already slapped his chest.

A surge of energy erupted, and before he could react, he was sent flying out of the inn, his entire chest caved in, leaving him unable to survive.

"Big Brother!" The remaining six heroes’ expressions changed instantly upon witnessing this scene.

They could not have imagined that their brother, who possessed Outer Skin Refining strength, couldn’t even withstand a single palm strike from this bizarre figure and was instantly killed. What kind of strength was this?

When the bizarre figure struck, Qin Yuesheng, Lian Baishan, Duan Wuya, and Yun Yao all had a flicker in their eyes.

So he was an Inner Strength expert!

"I hate most when people call me a rapist. Calling someone a rapist is saying they’re ugly. I’ll kill you dogs spouting nonsense—I’m so handsome, charming, and adored by everyone; how could I be a rapist?" the bizarre figure said narcissistically, stroking his face, looking utterly intoxicated.

"Big Brother, stop killing people. Quickly grab this beauty and bring her to the room," the four bizarre figures standing beside him, like simpletons, reluctantly pointed at Yun Yao and shouted.

"Ridiculous!" Duan Wuya coldly shouted, immediately slapping the scabbard he had placed on the table. The entire sword suddenly flew into the air, spinning leisurely.

Duan Wuya, quick-sighted and quick-handed, grabbed the sword hilt and drew his treasured sword from its sheath, stabbing at one of the bizarre figures.

His sword was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the bizarre figure’s face, but at this moment, the opponent also moved.

The bizarre figure suddenly opened his mouth wide and directly swallowed Duan Wuya’s sword blade.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

With a slight chew, the treasured sword was instantly crushed into crumbs, with large iron chunks turning in the bizarre figure’s mouth, being chewed like candy beans into powder.

"What?!" Duan Wuya was stunned.

Seeing this, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but feel amazed.

What a set of teeth! To be able to chew copper and iron so easily, and judging by Duan Wuya’s attire and demeanor, the material of his sword couldn’t be that poor, yet it was still devoured by the bizarre figure.

"Cousin Yuesheng, this person seems to be the Jiangnan villain ’Iron Teeth Copper Teeth’ Qian Lun," Qin Hai suddenly said.

"You know him?"

"I once bought the Book of a Hundred Jiangnan Villains, which has a portrait of him." Qin Hai nodded and pointed to the other four bizarre figures, "If I remember correctly, these four should also be Jiangnan villains. The five of them are sworn brothers, born with ugly appearances and twisted personalities, infamous for being rapists in the Book of a Hundred Jiangnan Villains."

Over there, as Duan Wuya’s weapon was eaten, Qian Lun chuckled and immediately reached for him with one hand. Qian Lun’s five fingers were black, suggesting he had applied something, but Duan Wuya naturally wouldn’t let him catch him. He immediately shook with Inner Power, shaking off Qian Lun’s hand.

Qian Lun was taken aback, not expecting someone as young as Duan Wuya to already be an Inner Power expert. This immediately made him feel extremely unbalanced.

Thinking back to when he was Duan Wuya’s age, he was still practicing the most basic martial arts with his master in the winter and summer, not even having heard of External Forging Skills, while Duan Wuya had already stepped into the Inner Power Realm.

Unbalanced, envious.

Qian Lun suddenly felt a burst of nameless jealousy, immediately abandoning the big girl he was shouldering, and directly charged at Duan Wuya.

This person’s hands turned into claws, clawing at heart and lungs, instantly sending more than a dozen purple claw shadows enveloping Duan Wuya.

These claws were sharp, causing one’s brow to furrow tightly. Yun Yao quickly threw her sword over: "Brother, catch the sword!"

Duan Wuya’s entire strength lay in his Sword Technique. Without a sword in hand, his strength would plummet by at least sixty percent, which, in front of Qian Lun, was undeniably a deadly situation.

Grabbing the sword hilt, confidence returned to Duan Wuya. In an instant, he swung the sword and launched his signature martial art ’Moon Piercing Sword Technique’ to counter the attack.

Seeing their brother engaged in combat, the other four bizarre figures naturally wouldn’t stand by idly.

The five of them, known as the "Meishan Five Ghosts" in the martial world, did not accept the name at all, instead calling themselves the "Meishan Five Immortals." Throughout their lives, they despised fairness, and their favorite pastime was defeating others with superior numbers and dishonorable means.

As Qian Lun engaged Duan Wuya, the remaining four immediately abandoned the women they were carrying, charging at Duan Wuya with ferocity, surrounding him from five different directions, leaving him no escape or evasion.
