Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 193 - 132: Nine Yin Corpse Claw

After a moment of contemplation, he decided to switch to something else for his martial arts practice.

He then used his lightweight skill and headed towards a mountain.

Once on the mountain, he found a boulder almost the size of a person.

Afterward, he continued to demonstrate the "Crushing Divine Grasp" on the boulder.

Instantly, the boulder seemed to turn into tofu, effortlessly penetrated by his ten fingers.

He then parted his hands to the left and right.

Stone chips and dust flew into the air.

The massive boulder was split in half in an instant.

At the point of separation, the stone was softened by the vibrations of his power, causing chips to fall continuously.

'So, to me, a boulder is as brittle as a tree trunk.'

Crushing Divine Grasp (1st Realm Initial Insight 1%)

Su Que glanced at his attribute panel, seeing that Crushing Divine Grasp had been initiated.

Simultaneously, he realized that his consciousness was clearer than usual while training the "Crushing Divine Grasp."

It seems that without the reversal of side effects, training the "Crushing Divine Grasp" should damage the mind.

'This martial art isn't harmful enough to me.'

Su Que felt the benefit of the reversal of the technique's side effects, thinking.

'I need to modify this martial art!'

Su Que began to recall the various martial arts he had mastered.

Soon, he thought of the "Yin Wind Claw" and "Profound Yin Finger," which were quite related to this "Crushing Divine Grasp."

All three focus on finger techniques.

"Yin Wind Claw" was a martial art he obtained from a White Lotus Sect Hall Master in Jade Water City.

Training Yin Wind Claw requires killing living creatures, inserting the claw into the flesh of the dying creatures, and absorbing the Death Qi.

When absorbing Death Qi, the flesh and meridians are damaged, the body feels cold, and the Qi Blood becomes stagnant.

Subsequently, the Death Qi lurks within the body, and at midnight, it erupts.

Initially, when training Yin Wind Claw, at midnight, the Qi Blood is only slightly stagnant, and the side effects are not obvious.

When Yin Wind Claw is cultivated to Minor Achievement, Yin Qi causes the body to become cold and numb at midnight.

If Yin Wind Claw is cultivated to Great Success, at midnight, the body feels as if it has fallen into an ice cellar, and even soaking in hot water cannot alleviate the intense cold.

After enduring the extreme cold, the body becomes completely numb and immobile, waiting helplessly for an hour until it gradually recovers.

Furthermore, the stagnation of Qi Blood causes the cultivator to experience premature aging, blurred vision, deteriorated hearing, and many other issues.

However, as he continued his cultivation, his physique became more formidable.

Even without the Golden Finger, the side effects of Yin Wind Claw became increasingly negligible.

Now, his physique was incredibly formidable.

The side effects of Yin Wind Claw could no longer pose any harm to his body.

"Profound Yin Finger," another martial art he acquired from a White Lotus Sect Hall Master.

Training "Profound Yin Finger" involves a unique breathing technique that generates "Profound Yin True Qi" in the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.

The finger force is cold; if it strikes the enemy, it can freeze their flesh. If it enters the enemy's meridians, it can freeze their meridians, flesh, and even the Five Viscera and Six Bowels.

The Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian is naturally nurturing Yang Qi; nurturing Yin Qi in it causes the cultivator's constitution to decline over time, leading to deterioration of the Five Viscera and Six Bowels, shortening the lifespan.

Similar to "Yin Wind Claw," because Su Que's physique is formidable, the side effects of "Profound Yin Finger" do not harm him.

'The side effects of these three techniques are too minimal; it would be better to merge these three techniques to create a new martial art.'

...

For the next three days, besides reporting for duty, eating, and sleeping, Su Que confined himself at home, contemplating how to combine "Yin Wind Claw," "Profound Yin Finger," and "Crushing Divine Grasp."

Finally, on the fourth day, he had a preliminary idea.

'Let's give it a try!'

Su Que immediately left home and headed outside the city.

In a mountain cave, after changing into martial attire, he used his lightweight skill and transformed into a black shadow, heading towards a forest twenty miles away.

Soon enough, he arrived in the forest.

Following his inner thoughts, he bent his fingers into claws and assumed his stance.

His double claw broke through the air, making a sharp ringing sound.

He focused and calmed his mind, waving his claws while pondering, rehearsing the martial arts he envisioned.

After practicing for a while, he suddenly sensed his technique was not seamless; his movements were somewhat stagnant.

He stopped, carefully considering how to coordinate and integrate movements, power, inner strength, and other elements.

After computing them, he practiced again.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed, and in the forest, Su Que continuously stepped, turned, and maneuvered, his figure becoming a shadow.

His bent fingers formed claws, accompanied by the sound of wind, grabbing in all directions as he moved.

Nine Yin Corpse Claw (1st Realm Initial Insight 2%)

This martial art, derived from the fusion of Yin Wind Claw, Profound Yin Finger, and Crushing Divine Grasp, he named "Nine Yin Corpse Claw."

As he trained, his claw techniques were swift and ruthless.

His claws continuously grasped in the air, emitting deafening ringing sounds.

A gray-white mist rose around him, enveloping him, making him appear exceptionally sinister.

The vegetation within a five-step radius beneath his feet initially frosted over, then withered and blackened.

"Now!"

After practicing in the forest for a while, Su Que suddenly shifted, transforming into a black streak heading toward a mountain wall.

Upon reaching the mountain wall, he infused power into his claws and grabbed at it!

Boom!

The power of Nine Yin Corpse Claw was astonishing!

As his claws touched the mountain wall, it exploded!

Debris followed his power, splattering in all directions.

This power originated from "Crushing Divine Grasp" but was a step further.

Su Que withdrew his claws from the debris and headed elsewhere.

"Yin Wind Claw" can advance by killing living creatures and absorbing Death Qi after inserting fingers into their flesh.

Besides normal progression through training, "Nine Yin Corpse Claw" can also advance using this method.

He hurried to a nearby forest and searched for wild beasts.

Soon, he found a pack of wolves in the forest.

The pack had five starving wolves. Seeing Su Que, their eyes gleamed as they growled lowly, surrounding him.

After watching him for a while, these five wolves finally couldn't resist and lunged at Su Que.

Su Que immediately utilized Nine Yin Corpse Claw, grabbing at the two nearest wolves.

The gray-white cold mist around his claws fell upon the heads of the two wolves instantly.

At once, the brains of the wolves burst, and their eyeballs popped out.

Su Que gripped the shattered heads of the two wolves, rapidly exerting force.

The chilling claw force immediately penetrated, winding up the bodies of the two wolves.

The flesh of the wolves quickly dried up.

The Death Qi in their bodies floated out from the flesh.

Su Que's mind stirred; he opened the pores of his claws and absorbed the Death Qi into his meridians.

The remaining wolves, witnessing their companions' gruesome death, were struck by fear.

However, retreating was too late.

Su Que exerted force with his feet, sending soil and dust flying, and rushed toward the two wolves faster than an arrow.

His claws suddenly extended downward, gripping the heads of the two wolves.

The wolves' heads had bulging eyes and splattering brains.

With another surge of power, the flesh of the two wolves also dried up.

Their fate mirrored that of the previous two wolves.

After absorbing the Death Qi, Su Que threw the bodies of the two wolves to the ground and swiftly killed the last wolf.

He sensed the Death Qi from the five wolves entering his meridians through the pores of his claws and traveling along the meridians.

Typically, absorbing Death Qi would harm others' bodies.

But when absorbed by Su Que, he felt invigorated, his entire body relieved.

That harmful Death Qi nourished his flesh.

His physique became even stronger.
