I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure silently descended from the eaves.

He landed on a pebble the size of an egg with a single toe, his entire body shrouded in black robes, demonstrating his exceptional lightweight skill and incredible body balance.

"Alliance Leader, the Staff Demon, Arrow Demon, and the Undying Brothers, they're all dead."

The news brought by this person instantaneously plunged the entire courtyard into a deathly silence.

The bald elder remained expressionless, his face showing not a hint of change, while Yagyu Ito was shock-ridden, mouth agape in disbelief.

He considered the abilities of the Staff Demon and Arrow Demon to be slightly inferior to his own, while the Undying Brothers, though not exceptionally skilled in martial arts, had undergone some form of human modification surgery by the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

This resulted in their unique body structures, making them extremely troublesome to deal with, very difficult to kill. Even Yagyu Ito, upon encountering them, wouldn't confidently claim he could defeat the brothers.

For this reason, he utilized his high-ranking position in the Heaven and Earth Alliance to appoint these four to go to Wudang to assassinate Wang Longhu.

Yet now, he learned of this terrible news instead.

Four assassins, equivalent in Dark Force strength, couldn't kill Wang Longhu and were instead counter-killed by him, which implies that Wang Longhu's strength surpassed the four of them.

Wouldn't that mean moving beyond Dark Force to Huajin, something only achievable by a Huajin Grandmaster?

"I understand, let's drop this matter, and in the future, no one is allowed to step into that country again. Let Ohta Ichiro's issue go."

The bald elder uttered this, then proceeded to continue sketching his dry landscape painting.

The ninja, who delivered the news, tapped his toe and vanished from sight in an instant, truly coming and going without a trace.

Yagyu Ito collapsed, dejected, on the ground, eyes filled with resentment, unwillingness, and shock.

He still couldn't believe that the Four Demons had fallen at Wudang, which implied that during the martial arts exchange meeting between the two countries, Wudang had actually sent a Huajin Grandmaster to duel with Ohta Ichiro.

That's completely unfair, entirely like an adult bullying a child.

"Yagyu Ito, you should go back and rest." The bald elder stated.

Yagyu Ito had to reluctantly get up and leave, realizing that this hatred might not be avenged in the short term.

…

The air was filled with a faint wooden fragrance, Wang Longhu leaned against the head of the bed, weakly sipping the rice porridge Changfeng was feeding him.

"Uncle Master Tianfu said your physique is extraordinary, hence you managed to survive. If it were any other Grand Martial Artist engaging in such a life-risking battle, even if they killed the enemy, they wouldn't be able to save their own life."

Changfeng slipped a spoonful of preserved vegetable into Wang Longhu's mouth, sighing as he spoke.

"This time, I really must thank Daoist Tianfu. If he hadn't appeared in time to save my life, I'm afraid I truly would have perished." Wang Longhu nodded, still feeling a lingering fear.

Having to put all his strength into battling four Dark Force masters while poisoned by arrows, Wang Longhu was fortunate, not a reincarnated deity.

After killing the Undying Ghost Brothers, the toxin within his body spread too rapidly, affecting his entire system, comparable to having one foot in the grave.

If that Daoist hadn't arrived in time, taking Wang Longhu back to Wudang to detoxify and heal, he wouldn't be opening his eyes again to see another day.

"Have all the issues in your Wudang been resolved?" Wang Longhu swallowed the rice porridge and couldn't help but ask.

He had awoken two days ago, and upon waking, Daoist Changfeng informed him of the circumstances.

It turned out that on the day Wang Longhu planned to descend the mountain, a group of jobless people, unknowingly arranged by whom, unfurled banners to protest, blocking the main road leading up Wudang Mountain.

That road led directly to the hill estate, explaining why Wang Longhu encountered no tourists when passing by.

This was clearly aimed at Wang Longhu, and Wudang, upon learning of the unexpected situation down the mountain, immediately dispatched a Daoist from the current generation of Celestial Martial Arts to investigate and solve the issue.

It was coincidental that Daoist Tianfu, who saved Wang Longhu, was passing by and thus saved his life.

Logically, living in the Zhenwu Temple, Wang Longhu's movements weren't known to many, and his sudden intention to leave or descend the mountain wouldn't have been immediately reported to those damn Japs.

Yet the killers dispatched by Japan Island managed to intercept Wang Longhu perfectly on his way down.

After Daoist Tianfu delivered the unconscious Wang Longhu back to Zhenwu Temple, upon learning the news, Daoist Celestial Martial Arts immediately initiated an investigation centered around the Zhenwu Temple.

It was finally discovered that a sweeping Daoist within Zhenwu Temple had committed the act; he accepted money from the leader of the martial arts exchange team from Japan Island and covertly reported all of Wang Longhu's whereabouts in detail to the Japan Island authorities.

Thus, once Wang Longhu left the Zhenwu Temple to descend the mountain, Japan Island immediately received the news, leading to the ambush at the hill estate.

The unemployed people blocking the road up the mountain were found to be regular people, paid by an unidentified individual.

Five hundred per hour, tasked to disrupt order for two hours, preventing any tourists from ascending, extending beyond 2 hours, payment continued accordingly.

This setup formed a perfect deadly trap for Wang Longhu.

It was supposed to be a sure-win trap, with four assassins at Dark Force level stationing there, even Daoist Celestial Martial Arts wouldn't escape alive from such a setup.
