Chapter 126 Beating
Yan Xu fired several shots but missed. Instead, the old beggar who came close by with a short stature took the opportunity to approach him and hit him on the head with a heavy dog-beating stick. The attack was actually very methodical and with a hidden force, he was unable to fight back. There were crackling sounds all over his body and sparks were flying. It turned out that the old beggar's dog-beating stick was made of fine iron with a layer of bamboo skin on it.

For a while, Yan Xu was suppressed tightly, and all his resistance was so powerless. After all, he had only been practicing martial arts for a short time, and this old beggar not only had extraordinary knowledge, but also had practiced hard for half his life. With an iron rod in one hand and Baguazhang in the other, he hit and punched him all over the weak points of his body. Not to mention fighting back, he couldn't even stand steadily.

However, although the old beggar had the upper hand, he could not do anything to Yan Xu, who had a body of iron and steel and was born with supernatural powers, not to mention that his armor made him invulnerable to swords and spears. He felt even more frustrated than Nie Feng when he fought against Jue Wushen, and could only fight hard.

Moreover, the seven wolves around were not idle either. The experienced ones had already spread out and kept shooting, forcing the old beggar to use no tricks. He could only use Yan Xu as a cover to move left and right. The slightest mistake would result in his disastrous end.

"Okay, okay, I won't be able to get through this hurdle if I don't bleed today!" The old beggar saw that he might lose his life if he couldn't break the deadlock, so he got mad and bit off the tip of his tongue with a few remaining teeth, spraying Yan Xu with blood. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands and slapped his chest. Seven pitch-black evil shadows emerged from all over his body as if they were breaking free from some kind of restraints.

This time, as he was closer, Yan Xu saw that although the seven evil shadows were twisted and hideous, they were obviously children. He immediately realized that this person used children to practice evil techniques, and he could no longer suppress his anger. However, he did not expect that after the old beggar was lifted from the ban, he became as if assisted by God. With the power of the evil shadows, he slapped Yan Xu away with one palm. At the same time, a rotating force erupted in his chest. His feet were off the ground and he had no place to exert force. Under the influence of this force, he flew sideways and fell to the ground. He was unable to stand firmly after landing. This showed how rich the old beggar's experience and skills were.

Before Yan Xu could stand up, the old beggar, knowing that the opportunity was not to be missed, wrapped his feet around the evil shadow and came up to him almost as fast as he could. He stretched out his palms covered by the evil shadow and pressed them on Yan Xu's chest. His hidden strength burst out, and there was a dull bang, just like a pneumatic hammer hitting a tire. The ground under Yan Xu sank half a foot deep. It could be seen how exaggerated the power of the old beggar's attack was, which was beyond human power.

After such a heavy blow, even Yan Xu, who had a strong body, couldn't breathe. His eyes went black and his mouth was full of blood.

However, his ghost body has already taken shape. Stimulated by this, extraordinary power is generated spontaneously, and the muscles all over his body awaken autonomously. If you can see his body under the armor, you will find that his muscles are like tight steel wires, like a suit of muscle armor protecting the relatively fragile internal organs. At the same time, the secretions of various hormones in the body are also bursting out one after another. In the time of a breath, Yan Xu's pupils were filled with blood, and just by exerting the strength of his back muscles, he bounced up from the ground and stood firm.

"What kind of monster are you?!" The old beggar, who was surrounded by evil shadows and looked half human and half ghost, said this with an uncertain expression and questioning tone, which showed how shocked he was inside.

He had seen masters who had mastered the art of boxing, and he had also seen sorcerers who had become possessed by evil spirits, but he had never seen anyone with a body this strong, except for zombies.

Yan Xu, who was filled with evil spirit at this moment, had no chance to answer his question. He waved his arms like whips, swung his fists like hammers, and used the fierce Tai Chi skills to fight against the old beggar who was haunted by evil spirits.

Yan Xu was still growing taller, now over 1.85 meters tall and weighing over 120 kilograms, while the old beggar was less than 1.6 meters tall and weighed only about 100 kilograms. He really used the power of Tai Chi to the fullest, as if he was hitting a ball.

It is said that Tai Chi uses softness to overcome hardness, and can use a little force to move a great force. But if a great force can suppress a little force, who would be willing to do the opposite?

Therefore, Tai Chi involves a lot of training in strength, and it also has fierce fighting methods, which were used to the fullest by Yan Xu at this moment. Although the martial arts levels and fighting experiences of both parties were very different, they were evenly matched, and the old beggar was beaten to the point of staggering left and right. Not to mention fighting back, it was good enough that he could keep his posture and not be beaten to death on the spot.

The old beggar spat out blood again, and all the strength in his body relaxed. Yan Xu wanted to take the opportunity to smash him to pieces, but he didn't expect that seven evil shadows would come up and wrap around him and keep biting him. At the same time, a strange evil force also penetrated into his body, and his blood and energy suddenly declined, and he fell into a state of listlessness.

In other words, he has an inhuman physique. If he were an ordinary warrior, it would be like taking wolf-tiger drugs and fighting day and night in a brothel for three days and three nights. It would be good enough for him to look like a human being.

But this also made Yan Xu, who was filled with evil spirit, clear his mind. He knew that physical courage alone was not enough, so he used the power of incense to stimulate the divine attack. Suddenly, a divine power was born from his body, and his body was covered with a battle robe made of incense. He felt refreshed and all negative states disappeared.

Yan Xu struggled with his arms, and the evil shadow wrapped around him was bounced away with a scream. At the same time, the evil power that penetrated into his body through biting was also dispelled.

The old beggar was attacked by the evil shadow, and Yan Xu took the opportunity to draw the Mo Dao on his back, twisted the two halves together, and combined them into one. As soon as he held the knife in his hand, a knife intent immediately emerged in his mind, and Yan Xu shouted and slashed with the knife.

No one could see clearly how the knife was swung. After Yan Xu put away the knife, the old beggar sighed and said.

"What a fast knife."

He was immediately cut in half and his soul returned to the underworld. I'm afraid he will have a place in the Eighteenth Level, or he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

The battle was finally over. Except for Yan Xu who was exhausted, the Seven Wolves were also so nervous that they broke out in cold sweats.

"Clean up the battlefield, determine the situation, and prepare to retreat." Yan Xu said while holding on.

Howling Wolf nodded, waved to his brothers, and then they dispersed to look for hidden things. They were professionals in this area.

It was a long time after Yan Xu and his companions left before anyone went to report to the police. It was not until dawn that a patrolman came. When he saw the bullet shells and corpses all over the ground, his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly asked the corpse collectors to take the bodies to the mass grave and bury them. Then he went back and said that a group of beggars had died suddenly of a serious illness, and only a few disabled little beggars were still alive.

When Shangguan heard that only a few beggars had died, he didn't take it to heart. He waved his hand, continued playing the music, and continued dancing.

When the house was empty, a few kind-hearted people came and took out their old clothes and leftovers to give the little beggar, who had been hungry for a day, something to eat.

Two days later, a priest in the concession learned about this, adopted these little beggars, and put the matter in the newspaper.

All of this was arranged by Yan Xu. He couldn't let anyone know what his purpose was, nor could he reveal that these little beggars were his weakness.

So he asked the thugs under Caihuashe to find a few old women who usually washed clothes to take care of the little beggars for two days. But it was only for so long. No one was rich, so they could be a little kind. After a long time, everyone would notice that something was wrong.

At this time, only foreigners were aloof from the world, especially foreign priests, who had spent a lot of money on missionary work, so it was natural for them to come forward and take over.

Of course, the foreign priests are not idiots. They can put on a show, but it is impossible for them to really raise these little beggars for their entire lives. When the hype dies down, the little beggars will disappear. No, some will die of illness, and some will be adopted. It looks normal on paper, but it is another matter in reality. They are all gone anyway.

Therefore, Yan Xu paid the money and the Camden family stepped in. They rented an old factory building in the concession and hired a few lonely old women to take care of these little beggars. Only then did the problem get solved.
