Chapter 166: Chapter 90 He is an Unprecedented Martial Arts Genius

After having thoroughly searched the body of the Huang Tian Sect General, Shen Qing made sure nothing was overlooked and returned to the caravan under everyone's watchful gaze, leading his horse.As Shen Qing walked back, following a brief silence on the official road, whispers of conversation began to emerge from within the caravan.

Shen Qing approached Li Linfeng and asked with concern, "Master, is everyone alright?"

Li Linfeng cast aside his jumbled thoughts.

As he looked at Shen Qing, his direct disciple, once again, his expression became extremely complex upon regaining his composure.

In his eyes, it was already remarkable for someone to practice two types of Martial Arts, and those who could make a name for themselves in both were even rarer, let alone mastering more than that as an impossible feat.

And yet, on Shen Qing's person, he recognized three types of Martial Arts, not to mention there could be others he didn't recognize.

It would have been fine if it were just about learning, but the level to which Shen Qing had trained these Martial Arts was exceptionally high.

Even the Wind Defying Finger had been mastered to the extent that Li Linfeng, its creator, was speechless, leaving him at a loss for words.

If he absolutely had to make a judgement, the Martial Arts talent of the direct disciple before him was the strongest Taiping County had seen since its founding, bar none!

An unprecedented Martial Arts genius, such talent was a rarity in his lifetime!

Li Linfeng opened his mouth to say, "I... We are all fine..."

"That's good," Shen Qing replied calmly. "Now that the obstructions on the road have been mostly cleared, Master can let everyone start cleaning up and preparing to set off. I'll take the lead on horseback when we head out."

For some reason, Shen Qing's words brought Li Linfeng a great sense of relief, and he couldn't help but feel reassured, so he immediately agreed with a smile.

After a few words with his master, Li Linfeng, Shen Qing walked step by step to where his uncle, Shen Er, and his aunt, Mrs. Wang, were standing, a look of guilt and hesitation suddenly appearing on his face.

After a moment, he spoke, "Uncle, Aunt, I couldn't bring Hu Zi back, I couldn't find him."

He spoke plainly to his relatives, without any attempt at concealing the truth or finding an excuse.

Uncle Shen Er and Aunt Mrs. Wang both inevitably showed a dim look on their faces, their eyes filled with inexpressible sorrow and sadness.

Mrs. Wang's eyes even began to redden involuntarily, filled with guilt.

As a hunter from the mountains, Uncle Shen Er's eyebrows were knotted tightly together, and he remained silent without uttering a word.

People were dying every day in these times.

For these lowly hunters, death was all too familiar.

Uncle Shen Er sighed, patted Shen Qing on the shoulder, and said, "Let's tidy up and prepare to set out in a bit."

Looking at his uncle's retreating back, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel that he seemed much older all of a sudden.

Without saying much more, Shen Qing called over Tian Xiaohu and Xiao Zhi, among others, to clean up and organize the caravan.

At this moment, when Tian Xiaohu and the others looked at Shen Qing, there was a clear increase in reverence, uncertain of how to act around him.

They had seen quite clearly what had happened to the Huang Tian Sect General.

The strongest county magistrate was no match for him, easily subdued.

And yet such a powerful man, from beginning to end, could not gain the upper hand against Shen Qing and was instead suppressed throughout the fight.

In the end, Shen Qing killed him with just two fingers, with relentless force.

Without a doubt, Shen Qing was now the strongest martial master in Taiping County. Explore hidden tales at мѵʟ

Considering he had been practicing Martial Arts for less than a year to reach this level, if given more time, it was unthinkable how far he could go.

The pair did not dare to think further on it.

Suppressing a stomach full of questions and shock, Tian Xiaohu opened his mouth and in a low voice, motioned and said, "Qingzi, what about those items?"

```

Shen Qing looked in the direction indicated by Tian Xiaohu and recognized what he was referring to, it was the crossbows scattered on the ground.

To be honest, such objects were no longer worthy of his attention.

However, for many ordinary people, they were lethal enough.

If Tian Xiaohu used one of these crossbows, he could take on and even kill any Martial Artists below the Skin Forging Realm.

Considering these items were unclaimed and strewn across the desolate wilderness, it was truly a pity.

Shen Qing said, "Let's pick some out together and collect all the intact ones."

Tian Xiaohu nodded, following Shen Qing into the pile of corpses.

The bodies of the Huang Tian Sect leader and the city officials, along with those of the Yongzhou Guard Martial Arts Bureau, were sprawled across the official road.

Dark red blood pooled in the uneven ground, forming vast patches of crimson.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

Shen Qing and the others turned a blind eye to the bodies, bending over to pick up the crossbows and arrows scattered on the ground.

Furthermore, Shen Qing didn't intend to overlook the bodies, and while collecting the crossbows and arrows, he also casually searched them.

Strangely, for Shen Qing, rummaging through the bodies felt as natural as foraging for mushrooms in the mountains after a sunny spell following rain.

Every body he cleared gave him a sense of satisfaction, a subtle feeling that was hard to put into words.

Along the way, Shen Qing's face was lit up with a brilliant smile.

The disciples of the Huang Tian Sect had much less on them, mostly things like Taiping Scripture and Copper Coins.

On the other hand, searching the bodies of the Taiping Government Office officials lying on the road yielded quite a few Jade Pendants, Silver Ingots, golden leaves, and Wish Power Pearls, rewarding him for his efforts.

As Shen Qing passed by the body of a woman with a prominent chest, he paused, recognizing it was Wang Yanjun's body, which filled him with sorrow.

'Such a waste of great assets, Xiao Hu would have been so upset if he were here...'

'Sigh!' Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Shen Qing clapped his hands, standing up from beside the body.

Seeing that both parties' caravans were ready, he gathered the items he had collected into his arms and walked towards his own caravan. He placed the crossbows and other items on the donkey cart and covered them with a burlap sack.

After all, these items were prohibited by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and couldn't be blatantly displayed. They needed to be concealed.

After dealing with these, Shen Qing had his elder sister Shen Fang comfort their aunt, then stepped forward to lead out Zhuifeng, heading to the front of the caravan.

"Huh?"

Standing near Li Linfeng's carriage, Shen Qing noticed Li Linfeng and his family squeezed into one carriage, with a few people even lacking room and forced to walk.

Shen Qing clearly saw another carriage ahead with an uninjured horse.

"Master, why do you all have to crowd into one carriage?"

Li Linfeng said, resigned, "The Lord County Magistrate was somewhat injured and needed space to recuperate, so he took a liking to my carriage and requisitioned it. Being an official of the court, we had to comply…"

The Lord County Magistrate?

Du Yuntong, that Dog County Magistrate?

Shen Qing held an even lesser opinion of the arrogant County Magistrate.

He couldn't help remembering the Taiping Escort Agency, recalling Tang Wanrou, and his face instantly showed displeasure.

Shen Qing turned on his heels and headed straight for the carriage at the front.
