Stop flattering me, system! I'm about to become a saint!

Chapter 45 The Invincible Ground

"puff!"

Yang Song pulled the iron rod out of Shi Meng's body, drawing a trail of blood.

He looked around and finally found Lu Dashan and his son shivering in the corner.

"Manager Lu."

Yang Song called out softly.

"...They're here!"

Lu Dashan scrambled over, bowed, and stood before Yang Song with a fawning expression on his face.

"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Lu Dashan slapped himself hard across the face: "Officer Yang, I was blind to your greatness. Please don't take what I said on the way to heart. I know I was wrong."

"Why."

Yang Song waved his hand dismissively: "Manager Lu, you're exaggerating."

How can you know how capable I am if you look at me with the eyes of an ordinary person?

Lu Dashan quickly replied, "Officer Yang's martial arts are unparalleled, truly peerless in the world!"

Yang Song waved his hand again: "It's not that, Manager Lu, please don't flatter me too much."

Lu Dashan flattered, "Officer Yang, I'm not trying to flatter you to death; every word comes from the bottom of my heart."

If word got out that you single-handedly wiped out all the bandits in Black Wind Stronghold, who in Anping County wouldn't be in awe of you?

How fortunate I, Lu Dashan, am to have witnessed your presence in person…

Yang Song raised his hand, interrupting Lu Dashan's incessant chatter: "How is your son?"

Lu Dashan immediately said, "Thank you for your concern, Constable Yang. Although Qiyang was beaten quite badly, he is not seriously injured."

"Those bandits are truly despicable. They said they wouldn't harm a single hair on Qiyang's head, but they beat him so badly I almost didn't recognize him."

A mocking look appeared on Yang Song's face as he jokingly said, "The bandits didn't even scratch him. I think Lu Qiyang's body is definitely not broken."

Lu Dashan was stunned. Could this be explained like that?

He nodded repeatedly: "Officer Yang is right. These bandits are quite trustworthy."

How could Lu Dashan, who has lived most of his life, be so muddle-headed?

Fortunately, you reminded him in time, and he suddenly realized his mistake and became a wise man for once.

"Officer Yang."

Lu Dashan reached into his robes and pulled out all the silver notes inside, each worth a thousand taels.

"Thank you for saving our lives today, otherwise my son and I would not have escaped the clutches of the bandits."

Please keep this silver; it will be very useful for your future training.

Yang Song glanced at the silver note and did not refuse.

He needed to save money to buy the Pure Yang Pill to cure Li Liming's chronic illness, so there was no need for him to be polite.

"Manager Lu, please keep the silver notes for me. I'll give them to you when we get to Anping County."

I still need to find Luo Taihe. Now that we've come to Black Wind Stronghold, we must leave no one alive!

"what?"

Lu Dashan was shocked.

He immediately advised, "Officer Yang, didn't that bandit just say that Luo Taihe has already reached the peak of Qi Condensation?"

You've just been through a bloody battle, and you're physically weak right now. You can't fight him head-on!

"Manager Lu, you're making the same old mistake again. Since I dared to go to Luo Taihe, it proves that I'm absolutely confident. Don't worry about it."

How could Yang Song let go of the opportunity to improve his strength?

In the short time he had been at Black Wind Stronghold, his skill level had increased to 3 years and 272 days.

If he kills Luo Taihe, he will definitely be able to increase his internal energy to the level of 4 years.

Luo Taihe had only just begun practicing the Profound Yin Sacred Skill, and even though he had also studied the martial arts of the Blissful Sect, he had only reached the beginner level.

With three top-grade martial arts techniques that have returned to the realm of simplicity and authenticity, and with the sudden increase in strength from opening all his acupoints, how could he not be able to deal with Luo Taihe?

Even if he can't beat this person, he can still use his Thousand Mile Thunder Leg Technique to escape.

Luo Taihe wants to catch up with him? Absolutely not!

After all, even if he frantically tries to escape, the system will still reward him with power.

Even if he runs a hundred miles, his internal energy will not be depleted in the slightest, while if Luo Taihe chases him with all his might, his internal energy will be lost like water flowing out of a burst dam.

No matter how you look at it, he has an absolute advantage!

Although Luo Taihe's cultivation level is slightly higher than yours, he cannot hide his declining trend.

Your cultivation is slightly inferior, yet you exude composure.

Now that you are in an invincible position, how can you possibly lose this battle?

[Reward: Seven days of cultivation points]

Yang Song wholeheartedly agreed; this was absolutely not flattery, but every word was the truth!

Seeing that Yang Song had made up his mind, Lu Dashan knew that no matter how he tried to persuade him, he wouldn't be able to change his mind.

He said with concern, "Officer Yang, Luo Taihe's cultivation level is not low, you must be very careful."

Yang Song nodded slightly: "I understand. I'll talk to you now and go search the village to see what good things it has."

After saying that, Yang Song began searching each room.

Soon, he found a pile of silver and copper coins, probably around two or three thousand taels.

Luo Taihe has wiped out numerous mountain strongholds during this period, and all the loot he plundered is now in his own pocket.

"Manager Lu."

Yang Song packed the looted valuables into a piece of clothing, walked out of the wooden house, and handed it to Lu Dashan.

"Please take this money back to Anping for me, and give it to me tomorrow."

"Why."

Lu Dashan readily agreed and took the package.

Yang Song then asked, "What do you plan to do with the medicinal herbs that Black Wind Stronghold looted from the mountain?"

Lu Dashan understood immediately and said, "Officer Yang, since the medicinal herbs have been taken up the mountain by the bandits, they are no longer mine."

"Since you killed those bandits, this batch of medicinal herbs should be yours. I'll buy them from you once I've raised enough money. What do you think?"

Yang Song chuckled and shook his head, saying, "That's not what I meant. You've already given me a generous reward tonight, how could I possibly accept this batch of medicinal herbs?"

Lu Dashan would never take such polite words seriously.

He argued vehemently, "But these medicinal herbs are yours; you stole them from the bandits."

Yang Song shook his head again; he truly had no intention of coveting the medicinal herbs.

Although Lu Dashan had some wealth, life was still not easy for him.

"What I mean is, how are you going to transport the medicinal herbs back to Anping? I won't take what isn't mine."

Lu Dashan secretly glanced at Yang Song's face and saw that he looked calm and composed, without the slightest pretense. He couldn't help but feel a little moved and a little respectful.

How could anyone else not be tempted by greed?

After all, this batch of medicinal herbs is worth nearly 20,000 taels!

Only someone of Yang Song's noble character could remain unmoved by such immense wealth.

Lu Dashan was deeply moved and bowed deeply to Yang Sheng with his hands clasped.

"Officer Yang, I was too presumptuous that night, thinking that I could make you grateful to me by doing you some favors. Now I feel ashamed."

Yang Song smiled slightly: "Manager Lu, you don't need to worry about it. Your son has already explained this to me."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Qiyang, whose face was bruised and swollen: "Brother Lu, are you alright?"

Lu Qiyang said gratefully, "Brother Yang, thank you for saving my life. I will never forget this kindness!"
