#302 - Gathering in Zangfeng Valley
The formation of fist intent filled Liang Jin with elation.
Liang Jin knew that his Changzhou doppelganger hadn't been idle lately, practicing his fist techniques every day within the [Nine Empty Realms].
Especially since the [Nine Empty Realms] had no concept of time, the speed at which the fist intent formed was incredibly fast!
For ordinary martial artists, being able to form a single martial intent in their entire life would be considered a remarkable feat.
Yet, how long had it been for Liang Jin? He had already formed fist intent!
"I wonder what impact this fist intent will have on my fist techniques?"
"I need to go try it out!"
Liang Jin couldn't wait.
He immediately fetched a horse and rode it towards the depths of the Gobi Desert.
To fully unleash and see the effects of his fist intent, he needed to find an open space.
Moreover, Liang Jin didn't want to be seen by the Great Snow Mountain Sect while practicing his fist techniques.
If any Great Snow Mountain Sect disciples could discern clues from his fist techniques and deduce that he was the murderer of Peak Master Ping Shuang, that would be disastrous.
Therefore, Liang Jin rode his horse far away before finally stopping.
He stood in the vast desert, clenching his fists.
He was ready to strike.
At that moment, fist intent arose from his heart.
What is fist intent?
It is a further sublimation through accumulated experience and understanding of practicing fist techniques over the years, reaching a state of understanding one's heart and seeing one's nature.
Liang Jin threw a punch.
This punch of his was "method" and "technique."
And in his heart, there was "intent."
When his heart and fist became one, intent arose, and the fist followed.
Liang Jin threw another punch.
Each of his punches flowed like clouds and water.
Unconsciously, he had completed a set of fist techniques.
He didn't know how many times he had performed the 'Great Demon Subduing Fist,' but never had it been so smooth and effortless as it was now.
He came back to his senses and looked around.
Nothing had changed.
But normally, he wasn't like this.
In the past, after finishing a set of the 'Great Demon Subduing Fist,' the powerful air currents could create a strong wind around him, blowing away all the dust within three meters of his body.
But at this moment, Liang Jin's understanding of punching and moving his fist seemed to have entered another realm.
To the extent that after he finished this set of fist techniques, no air currents were generated at all.
"At first, I only thought that their skills were already deep enough that they could kill even with wooden sword qi."
"But now it seems that I can feel why they only carry wooden swords."
"They must have already formed their own profound sword intent."
"So they no longer have any need for the 'form' of the sword, and the sword intent in their hearts is their true sword."
Liang Jin was increasingly able to understand what his fist intent represented.
He immediately held his breath and focused, throwing a punch towards the distance.
During this punch, it was silent, and even the strong fist wind that he usually produced when punching could not be heard.
The next moment.
"Boom!!!!!"
Only to see a large pit suddenly blasted out of the ground in the distance.
碎石四散 ， 沙土 飞扬 。
And that large pit faintly had the shape of a huge fist print.
Liang Jin looked at his fist, very satisfied:
"The power of this punch of mine is at least 30% higher than before!"
"And this is only when my fist intent is in its initial form."
"If my fist intent can continue to improve, then perhaps the power will be even greater!"
The improvement of this fist intent to the attack of fist techniques is very obvious.
As for whether there are other aspects of improvement, Liang Jin has yet to discover.
Liang Jin also didn't know how other people in this world would use fist intent and other martial intents.
After all.
He had never encountered anyone with martial intent.
Even Ding Feng, the rare genius he had seen, did not have any martial intent.
"Should I give my fist intent a name?"
"Like the 'Great River Sword Intent' or something on TV in my previous life, it sounds very powerful."
Liang Jin couldn't help but ponder.
But it's not easy to come up with a good name.
Liang Jin thought and pondered while practicing his fist techniques.
He practiced all the fist techniques he knew, basically, once.
Like the 'Realm - Great Demon Subduing Fist,' 'Imperial Guard Long Fist,' 'Five Step Fist,' 'Beauty Fist Technique,' etc., all were displayed one by one.
The fist became smoother and smoother, and the intent became stronger and stronger.
Unconsciously.
Liang Jin was suddenly startled.
Because he had already seen a ray of sunlight shining on his face.
It was dawn.
Liang Jin froze, his last punch was just thrown:
"Just right… exactly like that!"
Liang Jin instantly understood.
Previously, the night was like a heavy black silk, heavily pressing on the earth.
Everything was silent, and the world seemed to be solidified by darkness, falling into a silent slumber.
When it dawned.
At the distant horizon, when the first ray of dawn appeared, it instantly spread and expanded, like an invisible giant fist, instantly smashing the curtain of darkness.
The power of this ray of sunlight continued to increase, piercing through the heavy blockade of darkness with overwhelming force.
It carried endless light and heat, like a roaring behemoth, rapidly spreading to the surroundings.
Wherever the light reached, the darkness quickly melted like ice and snow, as if frightened and fleeing by this sudden force.
Its momentum was magnificent and shocking, instantly breaking the rule of darkness, giving the world new life and vitality.
This is the power of dawn.
And Liang Jin's fist intent was just like the momentum of this dawn.
"Dawn Fist Intent!"
"My fist intent has such characteristics, it should be called this!"
Liang Jin felt refreshed.
He had finished his business here, so he rode his horse back towards the camp.
The morning light sprinkled across the earth, shining warmly on his body.
The newest novels are first published at Six 9 Books Bar!
When Liang Jin returned to the camp, he saw that all the tents had been packed up, and the carriages were all ready, ready to go.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Great Snow Mountain Sect, and the group of slaves were all ready to travel.
A middle-aged man stood up, somewhat dissatisfied:
"Young Hero Meng, you always like to run out and wander alone in the middle of the night."
This person was the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Captain, Cang Du.
Liang Jin laughed:
"Captain Cang, please forgive me."
"Didn't I delay the journey? We're just right to travel."
Cang Du shook his head helplessly.
Lü Yingrong then said:
"In about an hour, we will reach Hidden Wind Valley."
"Please don't put away your weapons, everyone, and prepare early."
The crowd nodded and began to move forward.
Time gradually passed.
The sun gradually rose.
Exactly one hour later.
In the sight of everyone, they had already seen the terrain ahead suddenly rise, gradually forming a continuous range of yellow-brown mountains.
No vegetation could be seen on the mountain, only bare sandstone gravel.
The middle of this mountain range seemed to have experienced violent geological movements, causing the mountain range to split in the middle, forming a long and narrow valley.
This, then, was Hidden Wind Valley.
And within the sight of everyone, a large number of people and horses also appeared.
Looking around, the tents stretched into a continuous expanse, the noise was deafening, and the horses flowed like water.
It was hard to imagine how many people in the Western Desert this treasure had attracted to explore?
Cang Du took a look and raised his horse whip, pointing to a mountain depression:
"That place has a higher terrain but is generally flat, and carriages and horses can go up."
"Especially with a wide field of vision, and no one else comes to squeeze."
"Let's go there to set up camp."
It could be seen that Cang Du didn't like to squeeze together with those treasure hunters.
Lü Yingrong also had this intention.
Only Liang Jin was somewhat disappointed.
His doppelganger liked crowded places.
When there are more people, there are more contradictions, and there are more conflicts.
At that time, there will be more people for Liang Jin to kill.
But Liang Jin didn't mind, he could just go to those mixed places after setting up camp.
The group then quickly came to the mountain depression and began to set up camp.
The place Cang Du chose really had a good field of vision.
Looking down from the mountain depression, you could see that the deep canyon below was crowded with many people.
Even roughly, you could see the territories of various forces.
Liang Jin quickly discovered the people of the Boundless Bright King Sect and the Star Demon Sea among them.
Cang Du observed the situation in the canyon and said:
"It seems that they have not yet begun to compete for the treasure."
"Let's scout the situation first, and then take action."
Immediately, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's spies and the Great Snow Mountain Sect's disciples quickly took action.
As for Liang Jin, he let the slaves guard the camp, while he acted alone.
His intention was not to scout for information.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's spies were more professional at scouting for information.
After they scouted the information, Liang Jin could share it with them.
Liang Jin just wanted to see if there was a chance to kill people at this time.
Surrounding Hidden Wind Valley, people were setting up camps in all directions.
It was just that those camps outside looked very peaceful, so Liang Jin went into Hidden Wind Valley on his own.
This Hidden Wind Valley was a chaotic mess.
As soon as you entered Hidden Wind Valley, the dazzling sunlight on the Gobi Desert seemed to disappear instantly, and you could only see a line of sky at the top of the valley when you looked up.
And here, it was no longer as hot as the outside world, but full of cool and refreshing air.
Many people were gathered here.
There were sleeping, cooking, defecating, and so on.
It also caused the air here to be very unpleasant.
The wind outside blew into this Hidden Wind Valley, as if it had disappeared.
It seemed that the air here did not circulate, so it was named Hidden Wind Valley.
Liang Jin deliberately wore several large gold chains, and his ten fingers were also covered with gemstone rings.
Paying attention to exposing wealth.
Sure enough.
Soon some fierce and greedy martial artists set their sights on Liang Jin.
Then, they became the dead souls under Liang Jin's blade.
After killing more than a dozen people, most people also realized that Liang Jin was a ruthless person, and finally dared not attack Liang Jin's idea again.
Liang Jin strolled halfway through Hidden Wind Valley, only to see that someone had set up a checkpoint ahead.
When Liang Jin approached, someone shouted sharply:
"The front is the location where the treasure was discovered, irrelevant people are prohibited from approaching!"
"It will only be allowed to pass after the ownership of the treasure has been discussed by all parties."
