Chapter 25 Purifying Fire
Chapter 25 Purifying Fire
Hearing the knocking on the door, Chen Ran frowned.
Why would someone come knocking on my door at this hour?
He tucked the lime and poison powder bags into his waistband and looked out the window into the yard.
"Knock knock knock".
A crisp knock sounded on the door again.
Chen Ran did not move, but continued to stand in the same spot, showing no intention of moving at all.
half an hour.
The knocking stopped.
Instead, a pair of dark eyes, perched on the earthen wall, moved back and forth in Chen Ran's courtyard.
With Chen Ran's exceptional eyesight, he was able to clearly see who was approaching.
The Pure Fire Cult?
What is this cult doing here?
"Whoosh!"
"Aaaaaah!!!!"
The wailing and howling of ghosts echoed through Rat Street.
The streets were quiet and dark.
"Click~"
"Bang!!"
The door opened and closed again, and Chen Ran slammed the cultist to the ground.
The intense pain and the stinging sensation in his eyes caused him to writhe on the ground.
"ah!!!"
"Smack!!!"
He was about to shout when Chen Ran hit him on the head so hard he was stunned.
"What are you doing here, people of the Pure Fire Cult?"
With a hand pressed against his throat, Chen Ran asked.
"May the pure fire endure forever!!!"
The cultist, his eyes filled with fanaticism, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Ran turned his head to dodge.
Blood splattered on the ground, making a sizzling sound.
The followers of the Pure Fire Sect were completely devoid of life.
"The Pure Fire Sect, very good, very good."
A fierce killing intent flashed in Chen Ran's eyes.
Although I don't know what's gotten into this cult that they want to target me.
But Chen Ran is no saint.
If you're going to kill yourself, then you should be prepared to be killed yourself.
…………….
Since the attack, the latter half of the night has been unusually quiet.
After all, the Pure Fire Cult is like a rat in the gutter, only daring to bewitch the common people in the dark.
The next morning, Chen Ran got up early and began to exercise his body.
After breaking through the limit once, one must temper the body and accumulate qi and blood to prepare for breaking through the limit a second time.
In this process, money becomes exceptionally important.
Everyone is busy making money.
So unless something really important happens, not many people will go to a martial arts gym.
If it weren't for some big competition yesterday...
Chen Ran is still researching poisons.
"Bang bang bang bang!!"
Inside the courtyard, the sound of fists pounding stones echoed continuously.
Chen Ran was shirtless.
His robust and strong physique was revealed.
His expression was resolute, and his silver fists pounded repeatedly against the dark blue stone in front of him.
The dark blue stone was pitted and uneven, and under Chen Ran's powerful force, it was smashed into flying fragments.
half an hour.
After finishing a set of Tongbei Fist, Chen Ran picked up the dried monster meat next to him and started eating.
The power of Qi and blood within the body slowly surged forth.
Chen Ran crossed his arms and began to temper himself in a strange way.
The Giant Ape Breakthrough Technique has a bizarre posture and was created by its founder after observing the monstrous giant ape in the Northern Suspended Mountain.
Through various strange postures, he continuously forged the power of qi and blood within his body.
After a while, feeling a wave of weakness wash over him, Chen Ran immediately stood up, shook his head, and, sensing the waning of his vital energy, shook his head helplessly.
"As expected, I'm just an ordinary person."
According to Zhou Changfeng.
With a physique naturally suited to martial arts, he can gain two blood points in one month, two blood points in three months, and break through to the third blood point within three years, becoming a prominent figure in the entire Qinghe County.
Unfortunately, if we don't include the Blue Seal, just look at Chen Ran's current progress.
It takes at least three years to fully cultivate one's Qi and blood.
This speed is only possible because Chen Ran has abundant funds.
Among these challenges, there is also the possibility of failing to break through to the second blood level.
After doing all this, Chen Ran began practicing the Tongbei stance.
The practice of Tongbei Zhuang is easier compared to the Giant Ape Limit Breaking Method.
Enter a meditative state and slowly stimulate the body's Qi and blood through stance training.
Although the power of Qi and blood is weak, it can still be felt.
He would drink a blood-boosting potion every now and then, and when he was hungry, he would eat the flesh of monsters.
In such a cultivation process.
A day passed slowly.
"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"
The chirping of crickets echoed through the quiet Rat Street.
Chen Ran, who was in a meditative state, slowly opened his eyes.
He stretched his somewhat stiff body, and after warming up, he put on his night clothes.
Heading towards the door.
After confirming that he had everything he needed, Chen Ran slowly headed out of Rat Street.
The area around Rat Street is quiet and peaceful.
After passing through several alleys, Chen Ran appeared in the slum where Wu Heng had been before.
He had previously heard from people in Rat Street that the Pure Fire Church was distributing meat in the slums.
This is why this group of people would follow this cult.
"The fire of purification burns the world, leading to rebirth in the Pure Land."
"The fire of purification burns the world, leading to rebirth in the Pure Land."
Not long after entering the slum, Chen Ran heard the chanting of the Pure Fire Cult's doctrines.
He slowed his pace.
Through the dilapidated ruins, Chen Ran saw a long line heading out of the slum.
At the front of the group were several members of the Purification Cult dressed in red robes.
Behind them were rows of destitute refugees.
Their eyes were filled with fervor and unwavering devotion.
Wherever the caravan passed, refugees joined them.
At the same time, members of the Purification Cult came to them carrying boxes.
Even though they were starving, they still put all the money they had into it.
This scene made Chen Ran's eyebrows twitch.
He moved lightly, following at the very back of the group.
Soon, the team arrived at a place full of ruins and continued to venture deeper inside.
Chen Ran, who was hanging far behind, frowned as he saw this scene.
It's actually Nanming Street?
Chen Ran had naturally heard about what had happened in Nanming Street.
I never expected that this cult's stronghold would be located here.
But why did they bring these people here?
Just as Chen Ran was pondering whether or not to follow them in...
A familiar figure appeared in Chen Ran's eyes.
"Huh? It's him."
Not far away, a man dressed in magnificent brocade robes and bound with white jade ornaments appeared at the front of the procession.
It was none other than Sun Wuji, whom Chen Ran had met at the Ji family silk shop.
Could it be that the power behind the Pure Fire Sect is the Sun family of the inner city?
Thinking of this, Chen Ran felt a little heavy-hearted.
The Sun family has a three-blooded martial artist.
If the Sun family really is after him, then he'd better think carefully about how to run away.
"These goods are getting worse and worse."
Sun Wuji said with dissatisfaction.
"Envoy Sun, the quality of the refugees varies greatly; we have already done our best."
The leader of the Pure Fire Cult members said helplessly.
"Forget it, let's do it the same way as before: sell some and give the rest to some rice and meat from Nanming Street."
Sun Wuji's eyes were cold as he casually replied.
It was as if what was in front of him was not people, but commodities.
"Yes."
"Has that person who went to investigate the Limit-Breaking martial artist in Rat Street returned?"
"not yet."
"Fine, send two Bloodthirst Warriors from the Pure Fire Department to bring me that man's head."
"Yes."
After giving his instructions, Sun Wuji slowly headed deeper into Nanming Street.
Chen Ran was too far away to hear their conversation at all.
After giving his instructions, Sun Wuji headed towards the depths of Nanming Street.
Only the remaining members of the Purification Cult were left to sort and pack the fanatical refugees.
Strangely, these refugees seemed to be unconscious, and did not resist at all when they were roughly stuffed into sacks.
Seeing this, Chen Ran did not move, but remained in place.
He was waiting for his opportunity.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Ran saw a member of the Pure Fire Cult talking to their leader.
Then, they quickly headed towards a shadowy corner.
Seeing this, Chen Ran slowly reached out.
