89 Armor Test?
However, he was also very interested in the rewards of the demon execution list, especially the ones from the three dojos that were in charge of large medicinal fields.
Golden blood and foundation both required a large amount of medicinal herbs. Good herbs were also in high demand, but there was no market for them. It would be great if he could obtain them through killing demons.
“Everyone, let’s enter the mountain!”
With a wave of his hand, Rong Li divided his 120 martial artists into three groups under Qin Huai, Fang Han, and Qi Yangbing. Then, they headed toward the periphery of Pingnan.
The remaining dozen or so people stayed with him in the dojo to deal with the unexpected.
Meanwhile, the other seven dojos, including the city lord’s mansion, were in the same situation.
…
Bai Yusheng came to the wooden house in a panic.
He was about to speak when he saw Gao Cheng, who was holding a secret manual and slowly cultivating.
Bai Yusheng didn’t even dare to breathe as he stood a few meters away, watching silently. The more he looked, the more he thought about it, and the more he felt that the cultivation method he had cultivated when he was at the peak of his cultivation was so familiar!
Suddenly, he came to a realization. Wasn’t this the long breath technique?
“What is it?” Gao Cheng’s voice slowly sounded.
Bai Yusheng was stunned for a moment. “My lord, the demons have already entered the periphery of Pingnan. When do you think I can make a move?”
These few days felt like years to him. He had experienced the speed of advancement brought about by eating people, a thousand miles a day.
If Bai Yusheng continued to live such a slow and bitter life, he would not be able to live another day. However, this lord refused to let him do it. He had even started cultivating his nemesis’s cultivation technique, the long breath technique.
“There’s no rush, let’s wait a little longer.” Gao Cheng glanced coldly at Bai Yusheng, trying to see through his thoughts.
“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you’ll win every battle. I’m cultivating the long breath technique because I want to familiarize myself with Qin Huai’s fighting style and the characteristics of his techniques.
“I only feel that I have the advantage in numbers and realm. Without understanding the enemy, you would blindly think that victory was in their grasp… You’re all idiots!”
Gao Cheng looked at Bai Yusheng without any trace of politeness.
“What did the Sacred Heart sect rely on to rise rapidly in Great You like a bright sun? It’s a cultivation technique! It was the heart of the people! It’s wisdom!”
Bai Yusheng fell silent upon hearing this. He felt that what Gao Cheng said was wrong, but he was no match for him at all. So, he could only shut up.
Gao Cheng didn’t care about Bai Yusheng’s opinion. He just sighed to himself.
“I’ve been to more than ten cities like Pingnan, but I’ve never encountered such an exquisite cultivation technique like the long breath. Just this longevity alone is a heavenly achievement.
“Although the early stages are not good at attacking, after the sixth refinement, there are no more flaws. Attack and defense all in one… It’s perfect!”
The more Gao Cheng studied it, the more he felt that this cultivation technique was not bad.
“But in the third and fourth refinement, the flaws are obvious. The so-called forbidden technique has a certain delay in its execution. As long as you keep an eye on the direction of the qi, you can avoid it. Even defense can’t stop a technique like the rumbling thunder skill.”
Pa!
Gao Cheng closed the secret book, which Li Bowu had written for him.
“Now, try to attack me, and I’ll teach you how to deal with the long breath technique. After a few days, I believe killing Qin Huai will be as easy as stretching out my hand…”
…
Wipe, wipe, wipe…
In the snow-filled mountain forest, Sun Ziyao, Li Zhang, and the other four carefully fumbled around.
The hay was buried by the snow, and from time to time, they would see a few snakes and rats that had not been able to hibernate and were frozen to death on the road.
Hu!
Sun Ziyao breathed out hot air from his mouth and nose. “Be careful. Although this magical beast’s intelligence is not as high as ours, its hunting ability is a bit stronger than ours.”
BOOM!
Just as he finished speaking, the wind above the five of them started to blow.
Sun Ziyao’s eyes were sharp, and his hands were fast. He pounced on Li Zhang and threw him out.
Stab…
However, he was still a little too slow. Sun Ziyao’s back was covered in blood, and his cotton-padded jacket and a large piece of flesh had disappeared.
BOOM!
The huge lump rolled on the ground several times before standing up and looking at the crowd.
It had a bull head, red eyes, and bronze-gray fur. The limbs were not as short as livestock, and they looked more like apes. However, walking on four limbs could also allow one to run on two hind legs.
The hooves forked at the end, forming two long, hard fingers.
“Hmph, lalala…” the ox demon shouted. Once again, he charged at Sun Ziyao.
“Bastard!” Li Zhang got up and threw a punch at the ox demon.
He was already a first-tier martial artist, and among the apprentices, he was considered a genius who advanced very quickly.
“Don’t fight head-on with it!” Sun Ziyao roared.
But it was already too late. Li Zhang’s fist met the punch, and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard. His forearm was visibly deformed.
His entire body was instantly sent flying.
The ox demon suddenly took a step forward and flew toward Li Zhang.
“Grandmother!” Sun Ziyao didn’t care about the injury on his back and stood up abruptly.
He was the strongest in the second refinement and the only one who had entered from a young age. He had the most experience in fighting.
The other three were already a little dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.
“You savage!” Sun Ziyao roared in anger and took the ox demon’s punch head-on.
His muscles instantly bulged. This was the cultivation technique he had cultivated before he entered the sect.
Bang Bang!
In an instant, the ox demon threw two punches.
Sun Ziyao took all of them without a single punch. Blood spurted out of his mouth, but he couldn’t care too much about it. He used the force to turn around and take Li Zhang away.
After a few awkward somersaults in the snow, he finally rolled into the middle of the three people.
Sun Ziyao lowered his head and looked at his trembling hands.
‘Eldest Senior Brother was not lying to me. The strength of this second refinement ox demon is even more terrifying than those third refinement senior brothers. What kind of monsters are these?’
“Let’s retreat!” Sun Ziyao quickly got up and waved at the silly chicks.
Although the three of them didn’t dare to attack the demons, they had learned a lot from sparring with the warriors of the Thunderbolt Dojo.
The demons didn’t dare to pursue.
They still couldn’t fight, as the casualties would be too heavy. They couldn’t afford it.
Wuwuwuwuwu…
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps interrupted.
Qin Huai walked out from behind the crowd and stood in front of them.
“Senior Brother Qin!”
When Sun Ziyao saw Qin Huai, he instantly put his suspended heart back into his stomach.
“It seems I came at the right time.” Qin Huai glanced at the wound on Sun Ziyao’s back and threw a medicine bag at him.
“Many thanks.” But Sun Ziyao suddenly roared, “Senior Brother Qin, be careful!”
The ox demon behind him suddenly charged at Qin Huai. Its two sharp horns were like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, cold and bone-piercing.
“Qi shock scale armor!”
Qin Huai didn’t even turn his head, and a wave of air appeared around him.
BOOM!
The ox demon stopped halfway and fell to the ground. Fresh blood flowed out of his mouth, nose, and eyes.
Qin Huai turned around and looked at the ox demon, who was still twitching and breathing.
“Too bad you didn’t make it to the point where I can test the strength of my qi armor.”
