"Majishan?"
Fang Chen continued north and found a farmhouse. He asked around and learned that the place was called Majishan, which was very close to Wuxi.
He had seen the name Wuxi in a book and knew that it was a famous city since the Spring and Autumn Period.
Fang Chen ran forward as fast as he could.
Before long, after passing through a small grove of trees, they could faintly hear voices.
"Chief, that Bao Butong is far too arrogant. Qin Family Village is a force to be reckoned with in our area, and yet he... he actually dares to do this!" Fang Chen didn't see anyone, but he heard a voice.
Since Fang Chen cultivated his hard qigong to the point of nearing the bone refining realm, he felt that his hearing and vision had improved considerably.
Fang Chen peered through the gaps in the leaves and saw seven or eight men on horseback, with broken swords at their waists, slowly approaching on the main road.
They all looked dejected, as if they had suffered some unpleasant experience.
The man in the lead, in particular, had a white cloth wrapped around his nose, with blood seeping through it.
"Second brother, keep your voice down! That Bao Butong is ruthless and has incredibly high martial arts skills, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. This is his territory. If he hears us, or if it gets back to that Bao guy, we're doomed!" Fang Chen said slowly to the leading man.
“The chieftain is right, I won’t say anything more.” This time, it was a man with a pockmarked face who spoke.
"Eh, who are you?"
The man at the head of the group, sitting on his horse, looked up and saw Fang Chen on the other side of the road.
Before Fang Chen could speak, a thin, weasel-faced man among the seven or eight people suddenly spoke up. "Chief, this is bad! We don't know how long this person has been here. Could he have overheard our conversation?"
"Boy, who are you? What did you just hear?" The leader of the men looked at Fang Chen, his eyes narrowed, and his thick hand went to the hilt of the knife at his waist.
"I just arrived and didn't hear anything." Fang Chen looked at the leader's hand gripping the hilt of his knife and shook his head.
He didn't know these people. He just wanted to go to Wuxi. According to the plot, in a restaurant in Wuxi, Duan Yu was feeling depressed because Wang Yuyan was in love with his cousin. He came to a restaurant called "Songhelou" in Wuxi and met Qiao Feng there. He then had a drinking contest with Qiao Feng.
They eventually became sworn brothers.
If you find Qiao Feng, you can get the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Yi Jin Jing.
"Brother, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"
Behind the leader, a sleazy-looking man spoke up. "This guy was so close, I really don't believe he didn't hear it!"
"Then kill them!"
The leading man spoke to a thin man behind him.
Upon receiving the order, the skinny man leaped forward, wielding his broadsword, and slashed at the opponent's head.
"I wonder if these people possess profound internal strength?"
Fang Chen looked at the broken door knife coming down in front of him and sneered inwardly.

Chapter Ninety-One: A Small Test
"You asked for your own deaths, so don't blame me!"
Fang Chen thought to himself.
His original intention was not to absorb other people's power for no reason.
However, if someone bullies you, you won't feel guilty and will just drain them dry!
Just when I was looking for someone to absorb my inner strength, these little fish and shrimp were delivered to me.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes, watching the thin man's falling blade, and stretched out his right thumb and forefinger, pinching it with lightning speed!
Fang Chen used the 'Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian'. When his thumb touched the other person, their internal force entered his body and was stored in acupoints such as Shaoshang and Yunmen.
"Huh? He's got some skills? He even dared to grab my blade with his bare hands?"
Seeing that Fang Chen was facing his broadsword without dodging or avoiding it, and even reaching out to grab the blade, Wang Jiexun was stunned. Could it be that he had encountered a master?
"Impossible! How old is this kid? At most twenty-four or twenty-five. How high could his martial arts skills be?"
As a bandit from Qin Family Village, Wang Jiexun was used to killing people, and the thought that the kid in front of him was a master was instantly dispelled.
As the broadsword fell, in the next instant, Wang Jiexun's eyes widened into round bulges!
"you......"
Wang Jiexun felt his broadsword stuck in a boulder. He tried to pull it out with all his might, but it wouldn't budge. His heart sank, and he used his inner strength to forcefully pull it back.
He was fine when he didn't use his internal energy, but the moment he poured his internal energy into the blade, he felt it disappear without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
At the same time, my arm suddenly felt weak and sore.
"open!"
Wang Jiexun shouted and once again channeled his inner strength, trying to take back the broadsword, but his inner strength was still gone.
A sense of fear gripped Wang Jiexun's heart, and he immediately let go, discarding his knife and retreating.
With so many of us on our side, if we all swarm in, I don't believe we can't take down this kid.
The next moment, Wang Jiexun's expression changed drastically. He felt as if his hand was stuck to the handle of a knife, and he couldn't break free at all.
