Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Qiao Rui cheered up and swam forward. He had been playing in the water since he was a child and was quite good at swimming. In addition, his internal strength was profound now, so he was as slippery and swift as a fish in the water.

Qiao Rui rushed left and right, moving quickly and attacking swiftly, and those ambushing water ghosts were killed to pieces by him.

"Puff puff!"

After a few more slashes, three bodies were left floating in the water. Qiao Rui raised his head and swam out of the water. At the same time, he used his palm power to strike the water. He pushed his feet and jumped out of the water and onto the bow of the boat.

There was fire everywhere on the boat. Diwu Qingcheng, Tian Jing and Huang Jingxuan were standing on the roof of the cabin which had not yet been affected by the fire. They were looking around the lake anxiously. They were relieved when they saw Qiao Rui on the boat.

Tian Jing shouted anxiously: "Qiao Rui, are you okay?"

"fine!"

Qiao Rui stood at the other end of the boat. He looked around and quickly thought of a strategy in his mind.

"It's obvious that these people want to burn the boats and force us into the water. I'm not afraid of that, but the three people from Diwu Qingcheng may not know how to swim!"

At this time, the boat was more than ten feet away from the shore, and it was impossible to jump ashore by lightness skills.

"How to do?"

The fire was growing bigger and bigger, and there was almost no place to stand except the mast. Looking at the mast that was several meters high, Qiao Rui had an idea.

"I'll go cut down the mast, and you go find two planks or a door."

Qiao Rui stepped forward and suddenly jumped onto the top of the mast. He raised his hand and cut the rope that tied the sail to the mast. The heavy sail fell down with a bang and actually extinguished a large area of ​​fire.

He was delighted and did not dare to delay, so he climbed down the mast.

"Swipe!"

He chopped the base of the mast a few times, then exerted force in his hands and slapped the mast with his palm.

"Crench!"

The mast slowly fell down and crashed into the lake.

"Oh!"

The ship shook violently, tilted, and gradually filled with water and sank.

"Come on!"

When Qiao Rui saw Diwu Qingcheng and Tian Jing each bringing a large door panel over, he called out to them and ran along the mast first.

"Qingcheng, take Tian Jing with you. Can you jump over the distance of three or four feet?"

"Yes!" Diwu Qingcheng replied simply.

"Okay, wait, Tian Jing will throw the plank four feet away from the end of the mast, Qingcheng, you need to throw the plank to seven or eight feet away, Jingxuan, come here and follow me!"

The mast was swaying in the water, making it difficult to step on. No one dared to delay, and they all pushed their lightness skills to the limit, reaching the end in an instant.

"Whizzing!"

Two wooden boards were thrown out.

"go!"

Qiao Rui shouted loudly, lifted Huang Jingxuan and flew four feet into the air, just landing on the wooden board thrown by Tian Jing. He then used the force to jump up, and used the force of the wooden board thrown by Diwu Qingcheng again. After two jumps, Qiao Rui and Huang Jingxuan jumped onto the shore.

"Oh no! There's an ambush on the shore, take care of yourself!"

Qiao Rui was in the air above the coast, he looked down and saw many masked men lying in the reeds on the shore. He secretly used soft power with his left hand to send Huang Jingxuan far away, and with his right hand he swung his sword and charged straight down.

"Clang!"

"puff!"

Qiao Rui blocked the attacking weapons with his two swords, and swung the sword away, stabbing into the abdomen of one of the men. He fell to the ground, swung his hands in circles, and pushed his palms horizontally, gushing out an extremely powerful energy.

"boom!"

The ground was in a mess and there were countless casualties.

"Whizzing!"

A sound of breaking air was heard behind them, and Diwu Qingcheng and Tian Jing also came ashore and stood in a row with Qiao Rui.

"Where is Jingxuan?" Tian Jing asked when she saw that Qiao Rui was the only one there.

"Over there, I sent him out of the encirclement!" Qiao Rui pointed not far away and saw Huang Jingxuan shaking his head and getting up from the ground.

"You thief, give me back my son's life!"

With a loud roar, the many ambushing people on the opposite side surrounded them again.

"kill!"

Qiao Rui spotted a leader and went forward with both hands waving. Most of these people were wearing sleeveless coarse linen clothes, or simply bare-chested. Only a few were dressed properly and they were obviously the leaders.

"boom!"

Facing the man's machete that was coming at him, Qiao Rui did not dodge or evade. Instead, he suddenly stretched out his left palm and slapped the blade of the machete, knocking it away.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Rui was so ferocious that the man was stunned for a moment. Qiao Rui's right palm came again, heading straight for his heart. The man hurriedly stretched out both hands and faced Qiao Rui's palm.

"boom!"

The man was knocked back a few steps by Qiao Rui, and there was already fear in his eyes. He used the recoil force to retreat repeatedly and hid behind a minion.

Qiao Rui was too lazy to pay attention to the minions. He turned around and dodged them. The next moment he suddenly accelerated and appeared in front of the man in a flash.

"die!"

Qiao Rui swung his hands in a circle in front of his chest, then quickly pushed them out, with his left palm on top and his right palm on the bottom, pushing the two palms up and down side by side, one attacking the heart and the other attacking the abdomen.

The man's expression froze, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes, and he stretched out his hands to hold Qiao Rui's palms.

Qiao Rui smiled coldly, retracted the power of his left palm, and suddenly burst out with the power of his right palm, which penetrated the man's obstruction and imprinted on his heart.

"boom!"

The man was thrown far away, his heart pulse was cut off, and he was already a corpse when he fell to the ground.

"Wang Gui... retreat!"

A mournful howl mixed with a bit of unwillingness was heard, but it was the order to retreat, and those people all fled back in all directions.

Qiao Rui then looked around. In just a moment, more than half of the enemies had been killed, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Diwu Qingcheng was alone with his sword, and none of his men survived. Tian Jing was not bloodthirsty, but he was outnumbered and did not dare to hold back, and attacked ruthlessly as well.

“Ah—Master!”

Huang Jingxuan screamed not far away. He was originally on the periphery, killing some lone minions, but when these people retreated, they came towards him head-on. One of the masked men made a quick move, grabbed Huang Jingxuan's neck, and ran away with him.

"Put him down!"

Qiao Rui roared and was about to chase after him.

"slow!"

Diwu Qingcheng held a sword across Qiao Rui to stop him from chasing.

Qiao Rui stopped and looked at Diwu Qingcheng. Although he didn't understand the situation, he knew that Diwu Qingcheng would not stop him from saving people without any reason.

Diwu Qingcheng pointed his sword forward and explained in a cold voice, "There are often muddy swamps beside reed marshes. You and I are not familiar with the terrain here. In addition, it is dark and windy at night. Even if the moon is bright in the sky, it is not as convenient as during the day. If you are not careful, you will easily get stuck here."

Seeing Qiao Rui's worried look, Tian Jing knew that he was worried about Huang Jingxuan, so she persuaded him, "Since they captured Jingxuan alive, they won't take his life, so don't worry."

Diwu Qingcheng looked far into the distance, checked the surroundings, pointed to the west and said, "There is a village over there. Let's go there to stay for the night and try to rescue that kid tomorrow!"

"It's the only way!"

Qiao Rui knew that Diwu Qingcheng and the others were right, so he stopped insisting and the three of them headed west.

When they were almost at the entrance of the village, they suddenly found an abandoned temple. The three of them discussed and decided to spend the night in the abandoned temple and not disturb the villagers. In the middle of the night, the three of them picked up knives and swords, so as not to scare the people.
