#78 - Chapter 78 Situation

Besides initially feeling that the 500-斤 stone was indeed weightless, showing some ease, Cheng Feng restrained his saber techniques afterward.

He didn't unleash the blood energy and speed of the Blood Refinement realm.

The defense and strength of Skin Refinement could be increased.

Simple and easy.

The group walked through the long corridor and waited for a while before seeing an elderly man in his fifties, dressed in gorgeous robes, approaching.

Listening to his breathing and watching his steps, Cheng Feng knew that this old man was definitely not simple.

He even gave Cheng Feng a sense of danger.

This made Cheng Feng think of the Li family behind the head steward.

If a head steward could make him feel a sense of crisis,

not to mention the direct descendants of the Li family.

How powerful would the Li family head and other power holders be!

This allowed Cheng Feng to see the foundation of a so-called great family from the side.

It was truly extraordinary.

Cheng Feng's purpose was simple and direct—to become a temporary guard for the Li family, just for the tempting daily wage of six taels.

The Li family's reward only required him to persist for five days, and then he could leave with a full harvest. For Cheng Feng, this was undoubtedly an excellent job.

After all, to buy his ideal courtyard,

Cheng Feng, in the Blood Refinement realm, really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

As the figure of the Li family's head steward slowly appeared, the curiosity in Cheng Feng's heart grew stronger.

He noticed that although this head steward maintained a calm expression, there was a hint of anxiety and unease between his eyebrows.

Through a few brief conversations, Cheng Feng gradually understood the reason.

It turned out that the Li family's eldest son, Li Mo, had been kidnapped not long ago.

Those vicious bandits, from the Black Wind Mountain stronghold outside the east of the county, were cruel and arrogant, making the Li family feel frightened and uneasy.

At this moment, the Li family was preparing the ransom in full swing, hoping to redeem Li Mo as soon as possible and restore peace to the family.

Therefore, the Li family spared no expense to hire a group of guards to strengthen the defense of the mansion, to prevent petty thieves.

And Cheng Feng was one of these temporary guards. Standing in the courtyard, looking at the busy figures around him, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

The old man also threw in a stumbling block: "If any of you are not confident in your strength, you can leave."

Cheng Feng knew that he would not be able to slack off in the days to come. The Li family had to engage in a silent contest with those vicious bandits.

However, Cheng Feng didn't have the slightest fear. He believed in his own strength, and he also believed in the strength of the Li family. How could it be so simple for them to stand firm in the county for a hundred years.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed a firm light, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

Li family's experts, it's up to you.

We are just handymen, you have to work hard!

Let Cheng Feng risk his life for others?

Please, how is that possible?

The first lesson Cheng Feng's master taught him in his first job in his previous life was to protect himself.

If the job is gone, you can change it, but if your life is gone, it's really gone.

Cheng Feng has always regarded this as a golden rule.

Although it is a bit selfish, it can protect himself.

Of course, everyone has to do the superficial work.

The five temporary guards clasped their fists: "We will do our best."

In addition to Cheng Feng using a saber, there was also a man as straight as a javelin, using a large spear.

The other three were skilled in hand-to-hand combat, with strong physiques and fierce temperaments, not to be trifled with.

Cheng Feng naturally wouldn't expose his strength just to be a temporary leader.

After a few people expressed their attitudes, Zhao Hu, the eldest brother of the trio, served as the leader.

Of course, Cheng Feng was not the only batch of temporary guards.

The Li family hired a total of four batches of manpower, five people per batch, totaling twenty people.

The temporary guards patrolled the outer courtyard, while the servants guarded the various gates and passages in the middle.

After that was the inner courtyard.

Cheng Feng didn't mind this. He was earning money, and there was nothing shameful about it.

Thirty taels for five days.

Where else could he find such a good money-making business?

This was more profitable than Manager Mei's tavern.

And after finishing this job, he could not only get money, but also count it as a mission for Cheng Feng's martial arts school, and buy the large courtyard that Cheng Feng dreamed of.

A triple win, Cheng Feng was winning big.

As for Li Mo,

Cheng Feng didn't believe that the century-old Li family would simply let the bandits outside the county kidnap their eldest son.

Did the Li family not want their reputation and face?

Cheng Feng was 50% sure that the Li family definitely had a backup plan.

The rest was that the bandits were awesome, and it was really as easy as taking something out of a pocket to enter the county.

If that was the case, could the county magistrate still sit firmly in that position?

Cheng Feng was not a detective or a politician.

Just by following this matter with simple logic, he discovered various doubts.

But the strength of the Blood Refinement realm made Cheng Feng fearless.

If he couldn't beat them, he could run away.

At that time, he could just take care of two small bandits, and Cheng Feng was not afraid that the Li family would not recognize the debt.

He took the order from the martial arts school.

The martial arts school was equivalent to a middleman, who only needed to take a cut, but also had to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

Cheng Feng only needed to help a little, and he could basically determine the victory.

But Cheng Feng felt that he had to be low-key.

It was enough to make money without showing off.

The rest was not what Cheng Feng wanted.

Fortunately, the Li family provided food and accommodation. After a simple arrangement, Cheng Feng went home and briefly explained the situation of his mission, saying that he would not be home for five days, and then took Xiaoqing to Room No. 2.

After a hearty and earth-shattering toss,

Cheng Feng stared at the control panel in front of him, panting, with a firm and decisive look in his eyes. He did not hesitate to click on the icon called "Thunderbolt Blood Explosion Art."

Once this magical technique is mastered, one can master a unique secret technique called Blood Explosion, which can quickly accumulate one's own blood and explode it instantly. In this way, not only can the body's movement speed be greatly improved, but also the wielding of the saber will become more powerful and fierce!

However, behind this powerful force lies a limitation: it can only last for a limited time. Usually, the use of this secret technique does not exceed thirty seconds at most. If it is not restored after the time, it may lead to serious consequences—deficiency of qi and blood inside the body.

If you insist on extending the time of using this trick, then the limit must not exceed thirty seconds, otherwise it will trigger a terrible chain reaction. At that time, the temperature of the over-excited blood will rise sharply, and it may even evaporate heat, thereby depleting the body's precious water and blood, and eventually leading to death.

Undoubtedly, this is the first secret method Wang Tianshan taught Cheng Feng. Faced with such a thrilling and challenging technique,

Cheng Feng felt both excited and nervous, but more than that, he looked forward to and yearned for the future path of growth.

Cheng Feng's martial arts practice mostly relies on the panel to add points to obtain the realm.

Except for the initial entry, which requires his own hard work, the later stage really does not require much resources.

Cheng Feng now has some silver, but after buying the courtyard, he will be penniless.

Naturally, he will not use resources on martial arts practice.

The experience gained by adding points, as if Cheng Feng had practiced hard for many years, will deepen Cheng Feng's understanding of techniques and skills.

So teaching others is also no problem.

This can be regarded as one of Cheng Feng's great advantages.

In the middle and late stages, even if only the theory is consistent, he can add points to practice it.

This also leads to Cheng Feng's lack of actual combat experience.

Now Cheng Feng is ready for everything. If those bandits really have no eyes, then Cheng Feng can also practice.

From learning martial arts after leaving Liu Family Village until now, Cheng Feng has only really taken action once, which was with Lin Wan'er.

Even then, Lin Wan'er owed him dozens of taels of silver.

Every time he thinks of this, Cheng Feng is heartbroken.

A sum of silver just slipped away.
