There weren't many incantations for this battle skill, but it was quite exquisite. At the Minute Subtlety stage, one could kick out three variations. At the Proficient stage, one could kick out six variations. At the Great Success stage, one could kick out twelve variations. At the Perfect stage, one could kick out two to four variations. It was a leg skill that went from shallow to deep.
Other than that, it could also increase the user's speed by at least fifty percent. This was a very good battle skill for any martial artist.
Ai Fei Li was able to roam the martial arts world unhindered after he obtained this skill. He was able to come back from death's door again and again.
Ai Fei Li was already crippled, and it was very difficult for him to perform this skill perfectly. He could only use it to trade with Yang Wu in exchange for the safety of the mother and daughter.
It was already very difficult for him to return alive to see the mother and daughter, but he still hoped that they could live on peacefully. He hoped that he didn't entrust them to the wrong person.
Yang Wu left the first district with satisfaction. He had already remembered Ai Fei Li's request. If he didn't die on the battlefield, he would definitely visit the mother and daughter.
When Yang Wu returned to the border between the first and second districts, a tall man with a combat weapon stood in front of him, making him feel as if he was facing a great enemy.
This man was wearing armor, and his face was very masculine. He was the mayor of the first district, Zhang Xiong.
Yang Wu looked at Zhang Xiong cautiously. He didn't recognize Zhang Xiong. Back in the blood pit, he was fighting against Xue Sha, and Zhang Xiong had just arrived. They had a simple conversation, but at that time, Yang Wu didn't have the time to see what Zhang Xiong looked like, so he didn't know who Zhang Xiong was.
Zhang Xiong, on the other hand, recognized Yang Wu. He looked at the cautious Yang Wu and said softly, "You broke into the new first district alone and injured two to three hundred people. Dozens of people died on the spot, and three bosses were killed by you. Even a mayor can't compare to you."
"You are?" Yang Wu asked curiously.
He didn't feel any hostility from Zhang Xiong, so he relaxed a little.
If the other party was here to pick a fight, he wouldn't know how to deal with it. He had already gathered enough Red Steel Ores and could leave at any time. He really didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"I'm Zhang Xiong, the mayor of the first district. We've met before!" Zhang Xiong introduced himself.
"So it's Mayor Zhang. Nice to meet you." Yang Wu faced Zhang Xiong and cupped his hands in greeting. After a pause, he said, "You are the Uncle Zhang that Sister Lan Xin spoke of?"
"That's right. You've caused quite a ruckus today. If it weren't for me, you would have been nailed to the gates of the Mountain Prison," Zhang Xiong replied.
Yang Wu felt a chill all over his body in an instant. After his martial arts strength had improved greatly, he felt that he could do whatever he wanted in the Mountain Prison. However, he forgot that he was still a criminal. Moreover, he had offended a noble. There were people here who were watching him all the time. As long as they gave the order, they could kill him on the spot. Even if he could kill someone in the General Realm, so what?
"You don't have to be nervous. Miss has already told me to protect you no matter what. What's more, you saved the Warden's life. I can't just watch you die. It's just that you can't stay here any longer," Zhang Xiong said very seriously.
Yang Wu nodded heavily and said, "I've already gathered enough Red Steel Ores and handed them in. Mayor Zhang, please arrange for me to go to the Death Legion to make a military contribution."
"You don't have to go to the Death Legion to make a military contribution. I'll write you a letter. There's a lieutenant in the Barbarian Army who is my brother. Maybe he can take care of you. You can join another army. That way, you won't have to die," Zhang Xiong said.
Yang Wu said gratefully, "Thank you, Mayor Zhang."
"If you want to thank someone, thank Miss. She wants to see you," Zhang Xiong said. He paused for a moment and said, "To be honest, I really don't want you to see Miss. If it weren't for the fact that you saved the Warden, I would have killed you right now."
Zhang Xiong's body exuded a fierce aura. Yang Wu, who was unprepared, felt extremely uncomfortable in his chest. Fortunately, Zhang Xiong didn't really make a move and quickly withdrew his aura.
At this time, Yang Wu came to his senses. It seemed that his current strength was still not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.
The feeling of worship just now disappeared and was replaced by a kind of sigh. "There's always someone better than you."
The current Yang Wu wasn't enough to be proud. If he relaxed even a little bit, he would definitely die on the battlefield in the future.
Yang Wu and Wan Lanxin didn't meet in the prison yard. Instead, they met in a hidden corner of the Mountain Prison in the first district. There were a few old pine trees here, and some weeds grew out of the rocks. They grew tenaciously despite the wind and water.
Wan Lanxin was still wearing her armor. Her exquisite figure was full of wild temptation. She sat on a rock and leaned against an old tree trunk. The leopard lay on the side and dozed off. It was a picture of beauty and the beast.
After Zhang Xiong brought Yang Wu here, he tactfully retreated, leaving only Yang Wu and Wan Lanxin.
Wan Lanxin stood up and walked over to Yang Wu. Yang Wu looked at the valiant Wan Lanxin and grinned foolishly.
If he hadn't made a promise with that slug in his heart, he felt that Wan Lanxin's position in his heart would be the most important.
Wan Lanxin came in front of Yang Wu and reached out her delicate hand to wipe away the dried blood on Yang Wu's face. She asked, "Are you tired?"
She was like a daughter-in-law waiting for her husband to come back from farming. She felt sorry for her husband.
Yang Wu smiled and said, "I'm not tired."
"But I feel sorry for you!" Wan Lanxin replied in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. She just smiled faintly and said, "It's good that you're not tired. I've prepared some food and wine for you. Come and eat."
Yang Wu nodded and let Wan Lanxin pull his arm and walked towards the rock. There was a big bowl of meat, a plate of steamed buns, a stack of peanuts, and a jug of wine. They were all still warm, and it was obvious that they had just been sent here.
Yang Wu's stomach was rumbling with hunger after the battle. He first grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he picked up a large piece of meat and put it into his mouth. The way he ate wasn't refined at all.
Wan Lanxin calmly watched Yang Wu eat. She didn't say anything, but her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of reluctance.
After a while, the big bowl of meat and steamed buns were gone. Only peanuts and a jug of wine were left.
Yang Wu threw a few peanuts into his mouth and drank a big mouthful of wine before saying, "Sister Lanxin, I've gathered a hundred thousand kilograms of Red Steel Rocks."
"En, I know. After today, you can leave this place. However, the future will be even more dangerous. You have to take care of yourself!" Wan Lanxin lightly replied.
"Don't worry, I won't die until I'm cleared of this injustice!" Yang Wu's expression was extremely resolute. He paused and said, "Sister, I want to ask you for something. Please promise me."
"Say it. As long as I can do it," Wan Lanxin seriously replied.
"I have two friends here. One is called Sun Dou, known as Shou Hou, and the other is Little Man. I've gathered enough Red Steel Rocks for them. I'll bring Shou Hou to the battlefield to continue to gain merit and get rid of the title of prison slave. However, Little Man is a servant girl. Once she is exiled, there will be many inconveniences. So, I want to ask you to keep her by your side and give her some peace." Yang Wu spoke out the request in his heart.
Shou Hou's talent was not bad. Yang Wu felt that he would become a great person in the future. The prerequisite was that he could survive on the battlefield. Their lives were the same.
As for Little Man, she was a woman disguised as a man. If her identity was exposed, there would be no small amount of trouble. This was the reason why Yang Wu was worried.
"Alright, I'll do as you say!" Wan Lanxin agreed without even thinking about it.
"Then many thanks. When I survive on the battlefield and bring glory to my Yang family, I'll definitely treat you to a drink." Yang Wu said incomparably happily.
"Only treat me to a drink?" Wan Lanxin asked back.
Yang Wu touched the bridge of his nose and asked, "Then Sister Lanxin, what else do you want? As long as I can do it, I'll do as you say."
"I want you!" Wan Lanxin said in her heart. She did not say it out loud. It was not that she was shy and did not dare to say it, but she did not want to give him any pressure. She also did not want to burden him. There was still an insurmountable gap between the two of them.
Yang Wu saw that Wan Lanxin did not say anything and took out an item. It was impressively eight flower seeds. It was the one he had obtained from the strange flower in the blood pit. There were a total of one hundred and eight seeds. He had already kept them with him. Now, he took out eight seeds and gave them to Wan Lanxin, saying, "Sister Lanxin, I obtained these flower seeds from the blood pit. They will be of great benefit to your cultivation. Treat it as a little gift before I leave."
Wan Lanxin looked at the glistening flower seeds in Yang Wu's palm and knew that these were not ordinary items. She did not stand on ceremony with Yang Wu and put away the eight flower seeds, saying, "It seems that you have gained a lot from the blood pit. Otherwise, your strength would not have increased so quickly."
"En, in order to get rid of my current identity and to restore my Yang Family's reputation, I must become strong as soon as possible. I do not want to become a fish on the chopping block!" Yang Wu calmly replied.
"You can definitely do it!" Wan Lanxin cheered for Yang Wu.
Yang Wu and Wan Lanxin calmly chatted for a while. There was not much reluctance and they quickly separated.
Wan Lanxin agreed to let Zhang Xiong arrange for his people to count the Red Steel Ores and redeem Yang Wu, Shou Hou, and Little Man.
Yang Wu felt that everything was in order and that nothing would go wrong, so he returned to the second district to wait for the good news.
Unfortunately, the good news did not come. Instead, an imperial edict arrived at the Wolf Smoke Mountain Prison.
Along with the imperial edict came a five-thousand-man army. They were transferred from the Barbarian Army. Every one of them was filled with hostility, and their battle aura was exposed. Everywhere they went, dust would fly, and their momentum was grand.
The arrival of the imperial edict and five thousand soldiers shook the entire Mountain Prison and changed the situation there.
Wan Tianlong's position as Prison Warden was removed and replaced by the new Wei Dian. Lie Feng was still the deputy warden, and Zhang Xiong was promoted to the position of deputy warden.
Wan Tianlong was summoned back to the capital to take up a post. However, his position was now in name only. He was only an honorary Prison Warden General with no real power to speak of.
Wan Tianlong was promoted in name only but demoted in secret. He no longer held as much power as he did in the Mountain Prison.
As for Lie Feng, who wanted to become Prison Warden, it was all for naught. He was unable to adjust his position.
Zhang Xiong, on the other hand, took another step forward. Even he was surprised.
As for the five thousand soldiers, they were here to repair the damage that the Wolf Demon had inflicted on the Mountain Prison. These five thousand soldiers were old soldiers who had killed the Barbarian Suppression Army on the battlefield. Their battle prowess was much stronger than the original wardens. With them guarding the Mountain Prison, it was even more powerful.
The Red Steel Ores were only an ordinary material for refining weapons. However, they were used by all the armies of the Great Xia Dynasty to refine weapons. Thus, they could not afford to lose them.
The first thing the new Prison Warden Wei Dian did was not to set up the Mountain Prison's defense line. Instead, he ordered people to escort the prison slave Yang Wu to be executed.
