  The man hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly let out a mournful cry, covering his shoulder with one hand and falling backwards, his feet unstable as he tumbled onto the tombstones, knocking off several teeth on the ground below. Earlier, Xiaobai had stretched out his left hand to grab the man's upper arm and twisted it, immediately hearing the sound of the man's shoulder joint cracking, his arm going limp and dangling from his shoulder. This was a traditional move called "Separating Tendons and Dislocating Bones", but it wasn't something that Xiaozheng had taught him - rather, it was something that Xiaobai had figured out on his own. His right shoulder had once been prone to habitual dislocation, and over time he had learned how to put it back in place himself; after practicing martial arts, he had experimented and created this move, "Separating Tendons and Dislocating Bones", although he only knew how to use it on other people's shoulders.

  Xiao Bai's movements were lightning-fast, and the others' eyes widened as they almost didn't see him move. The man let out a pained cry, and the other two, not understanding what was happening, rushed forward and started fighting. Immediately after, they simultaneously let out pained cries, and upon looking again, both of them were also clutching their shoulders in disarray and retreating.

  Xiao Bai stood there, his body not even swaying, within a span of less than two seconds, had dislocated the right shoulders of those three people. With their shoulders dislocated, their entire right arm was temporarily rendered useless; if they wanted to fight again, it would be like being fish on a chopping board, completely at someone else's mercy.

  The first guy who got thrown out also got up, and all three of them had beads of sweat the size of soybeans forming on their foreheads, looking extremely pained. They stared at Xiao Bai with incredulous eyes, as if looking at a monster.

  "Are you still not leaving?"

  Those three people retreated a few meters away, but didn't run away with their legs, as if they were still waiting for something. Xiaobai raised his eyes to look over and indeed saw someone walking towards them from the mountain slope corner not far away. This person was in his thirties, not very tall but looked sturdy, with a square face that had a reddish-purple complexion, wearing only thin clothes on a cold day, yet his expression didn't show any chilliness at all. His gait was very majestic, with a dragon-like stride and tiger-like steps, being a very impressive man.

  The purple-faced man walked up, furrowed his brow and looked at the three injured people, then turned to Xiao Bai and said in a low voice: "These three are really not like anything, I heard the commotion earlier and thought of coming over to help this young lady reason things out. But looking at it now, this little brother's move was a bit too heavy-handed, wasn't it?"

  Who is this man? He is actually one of the five key members under Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, named Shi Dakai. This Shi Dakai was a fierce general in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he was originally a carpenter, had practiced martial arts since childhood and read books for several years, with arms that could move with a force of a thousand pounds. After joining the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he followed Hong Xiuquan to learn magic, and learned it quite well, also mastering some magical skills. And what he was going to do today was to be the hero in the most clichéd "hero rescues beauty" scenario.

  The sharp-headed leader of the three "thugs" was Zhang Taiyu, a subordinate of Hong Hequan. They deliberately followed Huang Jing to this remote and deserted place, waiting for an opportunity to "commit a crime", and at the critical moment, let Shi He come out to "rescue the beauty". This seems to be one of the most clichéd plots in getting close to a woman, but such tactics are always effective! There are many bad people in this world, and women tend to worship heroes who can protect them. Especially for Huang Jing now, Xin Weiping has just died, her emotional world is empty, and she unconsciously needs to rely on another person, of course, this may not be love, but a kind of spiritual dependence.

  After Hong and Quan saw Huang Yusu, they also began to prepare for the worst. They thought that they should get close to Xin Weiping's relatives and friends through some means, and Huang Jing was one of their targets. So he designed this play, letting his subordinates with the best image and most masculine appearance, Shi and Kai, go to get close to Huang Jing and play heroes to bring warmth. Unfortunately, the good show hadn't even started yet when it was ruined by someone else. Zhang Taoyu and three others also had some tricks up their sleeves, and they didn't take the two men beside Huang Jing seriously at all. As a result, as soon as they made a move, they were defeated. If you want to blame someone, blame them for not recognizing Bai Shaofeng and Feng Junzi. Not recognizing Feng Junzi is forgivable, but if they couldn't even recognize Bai Shaofeng, the "number one master of the dark arts", then it's just their bad luck.

  Shi He Kai still had a bit of an arrogant air about him, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with the task assigned to him by Hong Jiao Zhu, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he came anyway. As soon as he saw Huang Jing in secret, his heart started itching immediately, and all his dissatisfaction was forgotten. This little girl was really charming, with a face like a rain-soaked pear blossom, and she had a great figure too. Shi He Kai was overjoyed, waiting for Zhang Tai Yu and the others to make their move, so he could show off his skills and play the hero, rescuing the beauty, and then showering her with thoughtful care to gain her trust and affection. Who wouldn't like revolutionizing while chasing girls? As long as the girl wasn't bad!

  Unfortunately, before he could even show his face as a hero, Zhang Taiyu and the other two had already been taken care of. The title of hero was snatched away by someone else, how could he not be angry? This person's temper was originally very short-tempered, to put it bluntly, he was easily impulsive. In his anger, he forgot about his original task of teaching Zhang Taiyu and the other three rascals a lesson, and instead went to find trouble with Xiao Bai. Of course, seeing Zhang Taiyu and the others badly injured, they were after all brothers from his own sect. Shi He Kai was furious and wanted to show off his skills, helping his brothers vent their anger.

  Bai Shaofeng had long guessed that they were in cahoots, and looking at the situation it was like a play, the plot should be the hero saving the beauty. But this play was botched, and out came a purple-faced big man who actually blamed himself for using too much force. He was both angry and amused, and didn't clarify things at the moment, but instead looked at Shi He and asked: "This gentleman, judging by your demeanor you're a martial artist, and from your tone of voice you also want to be a good person. But what I hear from your words is that you want to help these few rascals who bullied the woman get a fair deal?"

  Feng Junzi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Bai, this good fellow is naturally angry. You beat up all the thugs, not leaving any for him!"

  Shi He Kai's face turned even more purple with rage, and he bellowed: "You're looking for death!" Suddenly, his body soared through the air, flying over two rows of tombstones to land right in front of Feng Junzi. Feng Junzi was also a skilled martial artist, and from the way Xiao Bai had moved earlier, he knew that Shi He Kai must be a formidable opponent. However, judging from Feng Junzi's movements, he didn't seem like a particularly powerful master. Shi He Kai decided to take him down first to vent his anger before dealing with the others. Although Feng Junzi wasn't proficient in martial arts, his movements weren't slow either. Seeing Shi He Kai charging towards him, he dodged downwards and jumped into the middle of a row of graves, quickly hiding behind a tombstone.

  Shi and Kai's physique was majestic, their movements as agile as a swallow in flight. In mid-air, they could change direction to follow the wind and strike downwards. Before landing, Shi had already thrown out a punch. His fist was only a few centimeters away from the tombstone when the force of his punch shattered the thick white marble slab. Feng Junzi let out a strange cry as he jumped out from behind the tombstone, but Shi couldn't react in time to strike again. By then, Xiao Bai's foot had already reached the back of his head.

  Bai Shaofeng did not expect Shi He Kai to suddenly decide to attack Feng Junzi, and he immediately followed suit. Shi He Kai's fist wind shattered the stone tablet, and Xiao Bai also flew in with a kick, his anger evident. This person was infuriating, attacking without any deep grudges, so his kicks were very fierce. Shi He Kai knew he was in trouble, turned around on the spot, and retreated, swinging his palm to block the empty door in front of him. The edge of his palm caught Xiao Bai's leg, and the force of their clash sent him stumbling backward two steps, one foot crushing a piece of granite slab covering the top of the tomb. Xiao Bai flipped over in mid-air, landed on the tip of his foot, and immediately pounced forward again.

  The two of them started fighting in the cemetery, Shi and Kai using their Long Fist technique, opening up with a loud roar, completely disregarding their surroundings. They kicked over four or five tombstones, sending shards of stone flying everywhere. Xiao Bai's Bagua Palm, on the other hand, was light and agile, barely touching anything around him as he exchanged blows with Shi and Kai. The cemetery salesperson saw the commotion and let out a loud cry before turning to run down the mountain. Feng Junzi pulled Huang Jing along to a safe distance to avoid being accidentally injured, while the other three people supported each other's arms and watched from afar.

  Once the fight started, Bai Shaofeng's Bagua You Shen Zhang was a perfect blend of softness and hardness. He surrounded Shi Hekai with his fists and feet moving like a stormy rain. Shi Hekai let out a series of tiger roars as he struggled to keep up. Although Shi Hekai had been practicing martial arts for much longer than Bai Shaofeng, he didn't have the same natural talent or receive guidance from a renowned master like Xiao Zhengrong. Shi Hekai was also very powerful and seeing that he couldn't keep up with Bai's attacks, he let out a loud roar and threw a punch with all his might, not caring about any fancy moves, using his fastest speed to directly strike Bai's chest, exposing himself completely. If this punch hit Bai, he would definitely be injured, and Shi Hekai didn't care if the opponent would take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.

  However, the punch felt strange when it was thrown out, as if it had hit something but didn't feel solid. Looking again, Xiao Bai's left palm was held in front of his body, perfectly grasping the fist. His entire body floated backwards with the force of the punch, but his hand didn't loosen. Then, Xiao Bai borrowed the momentum to twist his body in mid-air. Shi He Kai felt that the power of his punch had been diverted to one side, and the opponent's hand was still gripping his fist, also twisting with the momentum. A surge of internal energy transmitted through his arm to his shoulder, and then his shoulder joint made a cracking sound as it too was diverted!

  The fist wind blown by Shihe Kai was very strong and fierce, and when it swept across his face, Xiao Bai felt a stinging pain on his cheek. He couldn't help but admire Shihe Kai's skill, wondering why he himself couldn't produce such a powerful punch. Admiration aside, Xiao Bai didn't show any mercy, seizing the opportunity to dissipate his opponent's strength with an internal force, and then using his "Separating Tendons and Bones" technique to lock onto Shihe Kai's shoulder joint, rendering it useless. This was currently the highest level of martial arts that Xiao Bai could display.

  Shi and Kai's right shoulder softened, his arm drooped down, he let out a painful hum but didn't scream, his left hand fished something out of his bosom and swung it at Xiao Bai. Along with his movement, the object in his hand emitted a low humming noise, Xiao Bai felt the surrounding scenery become blurry, as if the air was moving, the ground's gravel flew up following the opponent's gesture and shot towards him. The flying stones weren't scary, what was scary was that each piece of gravel seemed to be wrapped around by a spinning invisible wind blade, emitting a weak but sharp breaking sound. Xiao Bai's eyesight was extraordinary, he even saw the invisible wind blades surrounding the flying stones through the refraction of light in the air.

  This was a situation that Bai Shaofeng had never encountered before, but he didn't panic. Instead, he charged forward and collided with Shihe Kai's chest. His left hand swiftly grasped Shihe Kai's left wrist and twisted it. A faint cracking sound could be heard again, and Shihe Kai's left shoulder was also dislocated. The object in his hand fell to the ground as well.

  Xiaobai's forward charge was very powerful, and it hit Shihe Kai's chest, causing his tall figure to stumble backward. The two of them fell together onto a broken tombstone. Immediately afterward, the flying rocks in the air seemed to lose their power and fell down one after another, with many landing on the two people but no longer harming them.

  Shi and Kai cast a spell, but Xiao Bai had already anticipated it with his intuition, predicting that he would pull something out of his pocket to use as a trick. He quickly dodged his left arm and collided with him, falling to the ground. Even for a skilled cultivator like Shi, close combat was not necessarily an advantage against someone like Xiao Bai, whose speed and reaction were almost superhuman. While Zhang Taiyu and the others only lost one arm, Shi and Kai were even more unfortunate, losing both shoulders to Xiao Bai.

  The object that Shihe Kai had been holding in his hand fell to the ground, still spinning rapidly. It was a colorful sea snail about the size of a palm. The snail was quite strange, with five-colored light on its surface and nine small holes of varying sizes spiraling around its shell. The humming sound just now came from these holes. Shihe Kai's arm couldn't move, but his fingers could still move slightly. After he fell to the ground, his right hand rested on the ground with his palm facing upwards and his fingers hooked. The sea snail on the ground suddenly jumped up, as if it was about to roll back into his hand.

  At this moment, a loud cracking sound was heard, followed by continuous shattering sounds! It turned out that Feng Junzi had unknowingly walked down from above and stomped his foot heavily on the snail shell. The snail shell was very sturdy and didn't break at all. However, the force of this stomp was quite strange, pinning the jumping snail to the ground. A large piece of the cement brick in front of the tomb, which was used for people to walk on during the Qingming Festival, mysteriously shattered, especially the brick under the snail, which almost turned into dust. The snail shell seemed to have been disconnected from Shi He's remote control and stopped rolling. Then, a blood-curdling scream was heard from Shi He, who spat out blood over a foot high before fainting.

  Everything happened very quickly, Xiao Bai knocked Shihe and Kai to the ground with his other arm, Shihe and Kai fell to the ground and beckoned the snail back with a hook, Feng Junzi kicked the snail, Shihe and Kai spat blood and fainted, almost all in an instant. A lot of the fresh blood that Shihe and Kai spat out landed on Xiao Bai's body, then Xiao Bai felt that he was soft and weak under his own body, like he had been drained of power, clearly having suffered a serious injury. Xiao Bai knew this couldn't have been caused by his own strength alone, it seemed more like Feng Junzi had kicked the snail but ended up kicking Shihe and Kai half to death instead.

  Bai Shaofeng sprang up, shaking off the gravel on his body and asked Feng Junzi: "Mr. Feng, are you injured?"

  Feng Junzi let out a cold hum with anger: "How come you're not hurt? My foot is hurt!"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Is your injury serious? I didn't see how you got hurt."

  Feng Junzi: "Just now that stinky little brat broke off a piece of the stone tablet and dropped it on my foot, making it hurt so much!"

  It turned out to be the case, Xiao Bai let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Feng Junzi's appearance, he could not only walk but also lift his feet and trample on the snail shell. It seemed that there was no big deal. Xiao Bai bent down to pick up the snail shell on the ground and asked: "Mr. Feng, what is this thing? How did it come out so fiercely in his hand?"

  Feng Junzi: "Do you still remember that tearful Ten-Character Sword? That was a magical artifact, and this is also a magical artifact. I think it looks like a Dharma Conch, the kind of Dharma Conch that's used for loud chanting. This thing shouldn't be left in someone like him's hands, take it away and keep it safe."

  "Bai Shaoliu, are you okay? You have a lot of blood on your body, are you injured? Is it serious?" Huang Jing supported herself with half of the tombstone and carefully made her way down, her face filled with shock and concern. Xiao Bai quickly went to support her: "I'm fine, this isn't my blood."

  On the other side, Zhang Taiyu and the others saw Shi He and Kai being knocked to the ground, turned around and ran down the mountain. Feng Junzi took off a pale green jade ring from his left hand's ring finger, pinched it between two fingers, waved it in the air, and coldly said: "Even if you bare your teeth and dance in the graveyard, aren't you afraid of being tripped by ghosts?" As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud happened to float over the graveyard, casting a shadow on the ground. The three people running in the shadow simultaneously let out an "ah" sound, as if their feet were caught by something, and they fell to the ground one after another, unable to get up for a long time, apparently having fallen quite badly.

  Bai Shaofeng supported Huang Jing, looking at the mess in front of them. This cemetery had three rows of over a dozen graves, all destroyed beyond recognition, with shattered tombstones and fragments scattered everywhere. The middle few graves even had their sealing stones trampled to pieces, and at least two urns were overturned, one of which was cracked open. These were all the handiwork of Shi and Kai, who hadn't actually touched anything during their fight with Xiaobai. Shi and Kai lay motionless on the ground, their faces covered in blood, their lives hanging in the balance.

  A gust of mountain wind blew, bringing with it a chilling cold that seeped into the bones. Xiaobai couldn't help but shiver. Huang Jing's legs were already unstable, and this gust of bone-piercing wind blowing past her made the current scene suddenly seem eerie and terrifying. She let out a low cry, her body going limp as she turned to hide her face in Bai Shaofeng's chest. Xiaobai was afraid she would fall, so he half-supported, half-hugged her, wrapping his arms around her. At this time, Feng Junzi turned around and said, "Let's not stay here anymore, let's head down the mountain."

  When going down the mountain, Feng Junzi limped and stumbled, but unfortunately no one helped him because Xiao Bai was carrying Huang Jing. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Feng Junzi shouted loudly at the people standing in front of the cemetery management office: "Hurry up and call the police, there's someone digging graves on the mountain, it's a mess! Also, call an ambulance, someone is injured!"
