Countermeasures

  Just as the lightning in his hand was about to strike, he seized the opportunity and let out a loud cry under the threat of death. His whole body surged with energy, and with the speed of lightning, he rushed towards the door. The speed was so sudden that Bai Yu had no time to react.

  A loud "slap" sound was heard as it struck his body, sending sparks flying everywhere.

  Severe pain made Bai Yu cry out in agony.

  The bandit leader rushed towards the door in a flash, not even having time to cover her ears. As she was about to leave, she deliberately grabbed the bag that she had originally thrown away.

  The ninth uncle at the door suddenly shouted coldly and slapped his palm towards the head of the horse bandit.

  This palm was indeed a true skill, and one move hit the horse thief's head in mid-air. A loud "bang" sound echoed through the air, and instantly the horse thief's head fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  However, at this moment she didn't dare to delay slightly, her body had just landed on the ground and she quickly took a few steps before rushing towards the door.

  Bai Yu and the two of them followed closely behind, but by this time, the leader of the horse thieves had already flown far away with his two arms.

  Watching the figure of Ma Zei's leader disappear into the distance, Jiu Shu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He turned around and walked back to the courtyard, as if muttering to himself, yet seemingly speaking to Bai Yu, saying: "It seems that this time our town is going to be in trouble. I really don't know whether we can handle it when so many Dou Shi arrive."

  "Brother Dao, don't worry, by the time it happens, with our cultivation, we will definitely come up with a countermeasure."

  Ninth Uncle shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about that, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will involve everyone in this town, and at that time, we will be outnumbered, and it's bound to cause harm to the people in the village."

  Bai Yu listened to this and suddenly understood. If the leader of the horse thieves ordered these zombies to scatter and attack the people in the town, then the two of them would really have a hard time dealing with them, let alone Mao Shanming, A Qiang and others who were only half-competent and couldn't even handle one zombie.

  Bai Yu also couldn't help but worry when he thought of this, if the horse bandit leader really did this, they would really be unable to cope with the situation. They could only sit and wait for death.

  He shook his head and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  The two men fell silent for a long time, when suddenly Ninth Uncle slapped his thigh and said: "Right! On that night, we can use chicken blood to write spells on every household in the town. I think it will work for a while, and by then we'll have some time to deal with that bandit chief."

  Bai Yu heard this and his eyes lit up, clapping his hands and laughing: "This is not a bad idea, we'll do it this way. However, we need to make the current situation clear. Otherwise, these people will think nothing of it and our previous efforts will be wasted."

  Ninth Uncle nodded and said, "Alright, wait for Ah Qiang to come back and let him handle it. Let him gather the townspeople tomorrow, and when they're all gathered, I'll think of a way to explain everything to them. After all, my old face still has some status among these townspeople."

  Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh at the words, naturally knowing that Jiu Shu was being humble. He could see Jiu Shu's status among this group of people. However, he didn't dare to show his amusement on his face. Facing Jiu Shu, he said: "Brother Dao, I just hope we can solve this horse bandit leader as soon as possible and have some peace."

  "Alright, now you can go rest," said Ninth Uncle with a nod. "There's nothing else to do for now, but tomorrow we might need your help again to carve talismans door-to-door."

  Ting Yan Bai Yu nodded and clasped his fists, saying: "Alright, fellow Taoist, I'll take my leave and go rest first." He then turned around and headed towards his own room.

  Back to the room, it was already deep in the night. Bai Yu had just fallen asleep for a short while and had gone through another battle, so he didn't sleep much. He came to the bedside, sat down cross-legged and started practicing his magic to solidify his foundation.

  At this time, the Fa power in his body was as thick as mud, and it could be seen that these Fa powers did not flow at all. Quietly curled up in the dantian.

  Bai Yu shook his head, knowing that it would take some time to truly condense the inner elixir. He secretly made up his mind to set aside a little time each day to cultivate.

  But he still has some expectations, to know that the worlds selected by the system are all based on his own strength, it's just unknown what kind of world he will return to when his strength reaches the realm of a grandmaster. Maybe at that time, they should all be some small thousand worlds.

  But for now, thinking about these things is still too early, it's not easy to think too much, the main task is to condense one's own magical powers into an inner elixir, striving to reach the realm of a grandmaster as soon as possible.

  He immediately stopped wasting time and wandered his consciousness into the conscious space, coming to the place where the big characters that were still floating in the conscious space emitted waves of golden light.

  Looking at the floating large characters, Bai Yu immediately used his consciousness to draw out a few strands of Fa Li from his Dantian, slowly condensing them into a handful of tangible objects, and then simultaneously threw them towards the several large characters.

  There was no sound, but a strange vibration spread out, and his body also shook.

  At the same time, his foundation was slowly solidifying, and his magical power was gradually condensing.

  Bai Yu thus lectured on his cultivation for several periods of time, and only when the time was almost up did he stop condensing his spiritual energy.

  He let out a long sigh and slowly withdrew his energy.

  This is the law in his body has been condensed for some time, but it's not obvious. It seems that the density of the law has increased, so it's harder to condense further. However, his gains are not small either. At least his foundation has been consolidated a lot, and now he can control the law with more ease.

  After withdrawing his energy, he suddenly felt a bit of fatigue in his heart and spirit. He took off his clothes and lay down on his bed to sleep.

  The sky brightened, the rooster crowed, and Bai Yu woke up on time. He invigorated his spirit, put on his clothes, walked out of his room, and came to the courtyard. His ninth uncle was already up early, practicing his kung fu, specifically the Bagua Palm.

  All that could be seen was Ninth Uncle's rapid movements, his speed so swift it seemed to leave behind a residual shadow, and the sharp aura emanating from his body slowly unfolding.

  For a moment, Jiu Shu finished his work and stood up, looking at Bai Yu who was standing aside, smiling: "Bai Dao friend, it's been a long time, I wonder how your footwork has improved?"

  Bai Yu smiled slightly and said: "It should be about right, just a bit more practice is needed."

  Ninth Uncle nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, your innate talent surpasses others. Whether it's cultivating the Dao or practicing martial arts, you're a rare genius that appears only once in a hundred years. Your future prospects are boundless." After pausing for a moment, he took a few steps closer to Bai Yu and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'll teach you this set of fist techniques today. With your talent, it won't take more than a few months for you to master them completely."

  Bai Yu was overjoyed and laughed: "Thank you, Dao brother, for pointing out the flaws in my Bagua Palm technique these past few days."

  Ninth Uncle shook his head and said, "I'll first break down this fist method and practice it on one side. I'll slowly demonstrate the moves and explain the overall outline and the essence of this palm technique to you. You must remember it well."

  After he finished speaking, he immediately returned to the center of the courtyard, first making a starting gesture and then slowly practicing one move at a time.

  "My Eight Trigrams Palm also has a full name, called the Eight Trigrams Rotating Body Linked Ring Palm. The so-called Eight Trigrams Rotating Body Linked Ring Palm is an advanced routine of the Eight Trigrams Palm, mainly characterized by agile footwork combined with eight major forms."

  All that can be seen is that his feet seem to have wheels under them, sliding step by step on the ground, although the movement is not fast, it creates an illusion, as if the friction of the ground has little hindrance to him.

  It was the pace that Jiǔ Shū handed over to Bái Yǔ, this set of steps mainly walked in circles on the ground, and each circle had only eight steps, which corresponded to the eight directions of the Eight Trigrams.

  Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui

  The steps of Bagua Palm are just walking in a circular orbit along these eight directions.

  Although there are only eight directions, each step is different due to the varying angles used when walking, making it seem like every step is unique.

  At the same time, Ninth Uncle's hands were also not idle, and he began to practice his palm technique.

  "When learning this palm technique, one must pay attention to the internal three harmonies. The breath should be sunk into the dan tian, and the mind should control the power. The chest should contain the breath without dispersing it. One must achieve a state where the heart is calm like water, and the breath, power, and intention are combined." As soon as Ninth Uncle performed this set of slow-moving palm techniques, they unexpectedly produced a series of strange whistling sounds that seemed to stir up the wind.

  This wind was indeed a strong gust, but under such slow movements, it was unbelievable that there could be a strong gust, and Bai Yu couldn't help but feel some incredulity.

  However, he quickly withdrew his mind and seriously watched every move and style that Ninth Uncle demonstrated.

  "Also, there are three external harmonies: shoulder and hip harmonize, hands and feet harmonize, elbows and knees harmonize."

  At this time, only to see the ninth uncle followed by his body shape static again, after a moment his hand also moved, and then it was like starting a chain reaction, the body's various parts were also brought up, footsteps followed by walking, as if turned into a fish, or a snake in the grass, body shape fluttering and moving, even if the opponent wants to come, there is no way to start.

  Of course, if this palm technique is used in battle, then Ninth Uncle would definitely be a poisonous snake.

  The flexibility of his moves is unpredictable, and every move he makes is aimed at the vital points, making it impossible to defend against.

  After finishing all these, Ninth Uncle stood up with a smile and turned around to ask Bai Yu: "How about it? Have you remembered everything I said?"

  Bai Yu nodded and said: "I have already remembered everything."

  P.S. There is another chapter, but it will be late, to be honest, my current schedule is already a mess, and I'm half a day behind everyone else's pace.
