Teng Qing Shans gaze swept across the surrounding bandits, thinking to himself: "There are still nearly eighty bandit remnants left. Once I make a move, these bandits will probably scatter and run in all directions. Even if Im extremely powerful, I can at most kill ten or twenty people, which would be of no use. And as for Uncle Yan and the others..." Teng Qing Shan looked towards those tribesmen.

  These tribesmen all went into the mountains together to hunt and kill wild beasts, but today some have been crippled and others have gone blind.

  Heng Qing Shan had a burning anger in his heart.

  "Is everything all right?" Teng Yongfan stepped forward two steps, walked to the front of Teng Qing Shan, and looked at a group of robbers. "To save your boss is also simple. Take out all the valuable things on you, see if its enough to make up for the loss of my clan. If its enough, maybe well let go of your boss. Otherwise..."

  Teng Qing Shan looked at his father and did not voice any opposition, the other clan members also tacitly agreed.

  In this era, death is normal. If we often act impulsively, the Tan family would have been destroyed long ago. Sometimes, one must think rationally. Killing more bandits and thieves does no good to the Tan family, on the contrary, it may provoke them into madness, perhaps leading to even more deaths among our people.

  "Its fine, lets go." The handsome young man took out three silver ingots from his bosom and turned to the others, shouting, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

  Those robbers hesitated for a moment, and then one by one took out silver and copper coins from their bosoms.

  "Throw them all together and put them on the ground." Teng Yongfan shouted.

  One by one, the robbers, though reluctant, threw the silver and copper coins into the fields, and in a short while, they formed a small pile.

  "Green Tiger, go and count how many there are." Teng Yongfan instructed.

  "Hmm." Teng Qinghu ran over, counted carefully, and turned back to say, "Not counting the coppers, there are a total of 323 taels of silver!"

  "Is that all?" Teng Yongfan sneered at the handsome young man, "The head of Hu Shanqius boss is not worth so little silver."

  That handsome young man was anxious, the one who worried most about Lao Das life among this group of people was him, because that was his own brother! The handsome young man turned around and glared at a lean and strong robber: "Where is my brothers silver note?" That robber hesitated, saying repeatedly: "That, that was offered to the White Horse Gang!"

  "Whats the point of caring about the White Horse Gang now? My brother is almost dead!" The handsome young man shouted.

  Obviously, the handsome young man still has prestige.

  "Hmm." The robber took out a stack of silver bills from his bosom and didnt even throw them on the ground.

  "Heng Yonghu took a look and turned back, saying: Sixteen one-hundred-tael silver notes!"

  "Hmph, although its not enough, itll do. Alright, you can leave. However, he has to stay." Teng Yongfan pointed at the triangular-eyed man, who was so scared that he directly knelt down and turned his head to look at the other robbers in terror, "Fellow brothers..."

  "Hes not one of our Tiger Hill gang members, just a mixed-up kid. If you want to kill him or scare him off, its up to you, but please let my brother go." The handsome young man said.

  "Get lost." Teng Qing Shan kicked the leader of the bandits in the waist.

  The leader of the bandits was lifted off the ground and then fell heavily in front of the handsome young man.

  "We must hurry." The leader of the bandits said in a low voice, repeatedly.

  "Run!" The handsome young man helped up the leader of the bandits and immediately gave the order, and this group of robbers quickly ran towards a distant place.

  "Brothers..." The triangular-eyed man almost cried, then turned his head to see a group of angry Teng clan members staring at him, scaring him so much that his whole body trembled.

  Heng Yongfan stared at the triangular-eyed man: "Speak, tell me everything from start to finish."

  The triangular-eyed mans body shook, and he said repeatedly: "Everyone, this has nothing to do with me at all. Im just a messenger! My brother is working under Li Da, the big salt merchant in Yangzhou. This time, his leader ordered him to find someone to deal with you. That leader seems to have placed an order with you and paid you 10,000 taels of silver. My brother also said... that leader didnt plan to give you 10,000 taels of silver at first."

  "Son of a bitch, that bastard!" Teng Qinghu roared.

  Heng Qing Shan had a murderous intention in his heart: "Its that cavalry leader - Qin San!" Although he wanted to kill Qin San, Qin San was after all a general under the big salt merchant, and in terms of strength... His current self might not even be a match for the enemy. For now, he could only endure!

  "Alright, you guys can just let me go, like passing gas." The triangular-eyed man said repeatedly.

  Hong Yongfans long spear moved in his hand.

  "Poof!" The long spear pierced through the triangular-eyed mans throat, and his eyes widened in a circle. His vitality dissipated, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.

  "Lets go." Teng Yongfan drew his long spear and said.

  The people of the Heng clan supported the wounded and quickly left one by one.

  On the way back.

  "Green Mountain." Teng Yongfan said.

  "Dad." Teng Qing Shan looked at his father.

  "Dont you think its a bad idea for Father to let those bandits go today?" Teng Yongfan sighed, "Your marksmanship is good, but if I were to let you kill them, you could only take out some of them at the same time. The others would also kill many of our tribesmen. In the end, more of our people would die."

  "For a moments impulse, let our people fall into crisis, this is absolutely unacceptable." Teng Yongfan instructed.

  "Dad, I understand."

  If Teng Qing Shan was really a ten-year-old child, he might have been impulsive, but he had memories of his past life and knew when to endure and when to explode.

  "Qingshan, within the clan you can now speak up and take charge. However, you must remember that in this chaotic world, to let our Teng family continue to thrive, never act impulsively! You must always keep in mind that behind your back, there are even more clansmen."

  "Got it, Dad." Teng Qing Shans heart was a bit messy.

  Not because of what his father said was he confused.

  But because... Xingyiquan!

  "Its about time to teach the clan members Xingyiquan." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, "When I was 3 or 4 years old, 5 or 6 years old, my words were useless within the clan. Moreover, a child teaching everyone Xingyiquan would be quite laughable. But now, I am the number one person in the clan, and everyone knows that my marksmanship is formidable! If I just tell a lie, it should be easy to make the clansmen believe."

  Hong Qingshan walked on his way home, thinking carefully, and finally decided, "Hmm, this time Ill go back and talk to my grandfather and father about it."

  ******

  Back in the village, among Teng Qing Shans group of people, most were injured, which shocked the villagers of Teng Village. Fortunately, no one died and it was still within everyones tolerance.

  The residence of Patriarch Shi Yunlong.

  Several elderly people from the clan, as well as those with higher status within the clan such as Teng Yongxiang and one-armed Teng Yonglei, all gathered here.

  "Yongfan, you guys did a great job this time." Teng Yunlong sighed, "I didnt expect that cavalry leader to be so narrow-minded. After giving us 10,000 taels of silver, he actually had someone notify the bandits!"

  "To that cavalry leader, we are just ants. He can crush us if he wants to." Teng Yonglei said with a cold smile.

  "Over a hundred years ago, wasnt the first gang in Yicheng, Tonghu Bang, trying to wipe out my Chen family? Luckily we ran fast and escaped into the mountains. But still, nearly half of our clan was slaughtered." Third Grandfather sighed, "In this world, human life is the cheapest thing."

  "Its good that everyone is back alive." Teng Yunlong looked at Teng Yongfan and Teng Qingshan, "Yongfan, Qingshan, you two must be tired today, go back and rest early."

  "Yes, Master." Teng Yongfan nodded.

  "Grandfather!" Teng Qing Shan suddenly said.

  "Hmm?" Many people looked at Teng Qing Shan, and towards Teng Qing Shan, the elders within the clan were extremely fond of him. At such a young age, he possessed astonishing martial power. A clan having such an expert would benefit greatly from it. For instance, today, if not for Teng Qing Shan, perhaps only a few members of the hunting party would have survived. And with Teng Qing Shan, not only did they all survive, but they even forced the robbers to hand over their silver.

  Hong Qing Shan looked at his elders within the clan: "Grandfather, theres something I must tell everyone."

  "Speak," said Teng Yunlong with a smile.

  "Whats wrong, Qing Shan?" asked Third Grandfather.

  Hong Qingshan said, "Not long after I joined the Hunters Team, I once hunted and killed a tiger. While hunting the tiger, I carefully observed its movements. After returning, I carefully pondered and remembered that Li Jinfu from Li Family Village was able to create a Fierce Tiger Fist technique. I also created my own tiger fist technique!"

  "Tiger Fist?" The villagers all burst out laughing.

  In this vast land of nine states, there are countless boxing techniques. In a chaotic era, who doesnt know one or two moves?

  "Green Mountain is indeed impressive." Tianyun Long praised and didnt say anything else.

  "But Ive been practicing this tiger fist and controlling my breathing, and just the other day, I discovered a mysterious power emerging within me!" Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Does he have some kind of magical power inside him?" The whole room full of people was stunned.

  "What power?" Teng Yunlong asked repeatedly.

  Teng Qing Shan crouched down: "Grandfather, look." Teng Qing Shans hands remained still on the wooden bench, while he stirred up his inner energy.

  "Ah!"

  The internal energy shot out like an arrow, and all that was seen was the wooden bench exploding with a loud noise, with a section of wood at the edge completely pulverized.

  A group of people inside the house were completely stunned, unable to utter a single word, and stared foolishly at this scene.

  "Inner power!!!" The one-armed Teng Yonglei shouted first.

  "Its inner strength!" Teng Yongxiang also exclaimed excitedly, "Its inner strength indeed."

  "Its really inner power, Ive seen it, this is really inner power." Teng Yunlong was also extremely excited, a group of tribesmen, like a pack of hungry wolves, stared at Teng Qingshan with excitement, their faces flushed red.

  "Qing Shan has actually cultivated internal energy, how is that possible?" Teng Yongxiang exclaimed.

  Teng Qing Shan shook his head and pretended to be confused, saying: "Im not clear either. I just imitated the tigers movements, feeling that those movements can exercise my body while adjusting my breathing. Who would have thought that after practicing for several months, internal energy actually appeared in my body? I dont even dare to believe it."

  "Haha……" Teng Yunlong burst out laughing, "Whats so strange about it? In the world, there are countless methods to cultivate internal energy. These internal energy methods, werent they all created by people? If others can create them, then I, Teng Yunlong, the most formidable genius of the Teng clan for a thousand years, cant I also create one?"

  One after another, the tribesmen nodded in agreement.

  "Others can create it, and with a genius like you appearing in the Teng family, its only natural." Teng Yongxiang also burst out laughing.

  "But all Im doing is mimicking the tigers movements and breathing, nothing more profound than that." Teng Qing said with a shake of his head.

  "Its simple, its good, one step at a time." Teng Yunlong was overjoyed. "That old man from Li Family Village is proud of me, his grandson created the Fierce Tiger Fist, humph, just a fake move. My grandsons tiger fist can actually cultivate internal energy, stronger than his!"

  Teng Qing Shan was well aware that in Xingyiquan, the three body postures and five elements fists seemed simple but were actually the most difficult to achieve results with. Many Xingyi masters practiced the twelve animals of Xingyi. Only after achieving success with the twelve animals would they then go back and study the five elements fists and three body postures step by step.

  "Its better to specialize than to be a jack-of-all-trades. Teaching them the twelve forms is not as good as just teaching the tiger form alone. They will also find it easier to achieve something by practicing the tiger form." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself.

  What he called "tiger fist" was actually the "Tiger Form Fist", one of the twelve forms in Xingyiquan.

  "Grandfather, I think its time to pass on the Tiger Fist to our people," said Teng Qing Shan.

  "Alright, alright." Teng Yunlong nodded repeatedly.

  "Haha, if we have the inner strength, who dares to provoke us, the Teng family?" Teng Yongxiang was also very excited, and Teng Yongfan on the side patted Teng Qingshans shoulder even more excitedly, "Qingshan, I, Teng Yongfan, am most proud of this lifetime, is having a son like you, haha..."

  A group of people, extremely excited.

  With the possession of Tiger Fist, Teng Family Villages strength will undergo a drastic change.

  "Remember, all of you." Tianyun Long turned his head to look around, "Qingshan created this Tiger Fist, dont ever spread it out, keep it a secret. From now on, this Tiger Fist will be the exclusive skill of my Teng Family Village, absolutely not to be passed down outside, pass it down to sons but not daughters!"

  "I know." They all nodded one by one.
