Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 202 - 136: Meridian Yin Absorption Technique! Night Rain Listening Sword! (Part 2)

"The people pursuing me are here! He's from a Central Plains noble family, has opened seventeen meridians, and wields exotic soldiers!"

"For a hundred years, the Central Plains noble families have looked down upon others, never caring about the lives of others."

"Seeing someone as odd as you, he certainly won't hesitate and will kill you directly!"

"Don't think you can stay uninvolved!"

"Release me quickly so we can face the enemy together! Otherwise, we'll both die here!"

Su Que listened, a chill running through his heart.

He had heard much about the prestige of the Central Plains noble families.

They nurtured themselves with medicine from the womb, bore exotic soldiers, and mastered formidable martial arts...

Moreover, this person had opened seventeen meridians, two more than Su Que.

Though he had mastered many martial arts and was quite accomplished, he might not lose against this person, but victory was not assured either.

His greatest advantage now was his long life, as he could practice without bottlenecks.

With time, he could undoubtedly reach the pinnacle of this world.

There was no need for him to take risks.

Yet, he was reluctant to give up the "Meridian Yin Absorption Technique," which could absorb the Moon's Yin Energy.

Although he had only heard a small portion of the cultivation technique, he felt it matched well with his Nine Yin Corpse Claw and could be integrated.

Su Que struck Feng Tianhan with a palm, sealing several meridians in Feng Tianhan's throat with True Qi, rendering him speechless.

Then, he lifted Feng Tianhan's body, carrying it on his shoulder.

Feng Tianhan's eyes nearly burst, desperately wanting to persuade Su Que again to release him to face the men from the Central Plains together, but he couldn't speak.

The sound of barking was getting closer.

Su Que carried Feng Tianhan, darting out of the cave, heading in the other direction. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The barking also changed direction as he darted.

Su Que instantly realized the dogs were drawn by the scent of the old man on his shoulder.

Presumably, this old man had been clearing his scent with True Qi while fleeing.

But when Su Que knocked him out with a punch, his scent began to spread,

And the old man had wounds on him, with the smell of blood, which was even more likely to attract the dogs.

Su Que immediately injected True Qi into Feng Tianhan, stopped the bleeding, and covered Feng Tianhan's body with True Qi, masking his scent.

Then, he started moving swiftly again, darting forward.

His figure almost vanished into thin air, running over fifty miles in one breath, finding another cave to put down Feng Tianhan.

At this point, he could no longer hear the barking.

He tapped Feng Tianhan's shoulder, unblocking several meridians in Feng Tianhan's throat so he could speak.

As soon as Feng Tianhan could speak, he immediately said:

"The dogs bred by the noble family have been crossbred for hundreds of years, and like the noble family disciples, they start taking medicine from the womb, making their sense of smell extremely sharp. Even here, they will still find us!"

"You must unblock my meridians so I can use my True Qi to clear my scent."

"Otherwise, the men from the noble family will eventually find us!"

Su Que listened, frowning slightly.

He hadn't expected the Central Plains noble family's dogs to be so formidable.

If what Feng Tianhan said was true, then he truly couldn't take Feng Tianhan with him.

After all, if he wanted to prevent Feng Tianhan from fabricating the cultivation technique, he would need to keep Feng Tianhan for some time.

This period wouldn't be short, at least ten days, possibly stretching to several months.

He couldn't possibly carry Feng Tianhan with him constantly, continually injecting True Qi to mask his scent.

Leaving Feng Tianhan here for the noble family disciples could completely disengage him.

But he really didn't want to give up the "Meridian Yin Absorption Technique."

Woof woof! Rustle rustle!

At this moment, the sound of barking and rustling in the grass and trees returned.

'Since the noble family relies on the dogs for tracking, I wonder if I can kill the dogs!'

Thinking of this, Su Que walked towards the cave's entrance.

Feng Tianhan saw this and thought Su Que was about to abandon him here, panicking immediately.

After all, there was still hope for survival if Su Que wanted the cultivation technique.

If he got taken back by the noble family men, not only would he definitely die, but he would also endure inhuman torture before he went.

"Don't leave me... those noble family men have many treasures on them. We can join forces to kill him and split them..."

Bam!

Su Que knocked him out cold with a punch, darting out.

Once outside the cave, he lightened his footsteps, moving towards the sound of barking.

Using the cover of branches and leaves, in no time, he saw the source of the barking.

It was a hunting dog with the size of a wolf, covered in black fur and exuding a shimmering light.

Its canine eyes were full of intelligence. Sniffing with its nose, it ran swiftly towards Feng Tianhan, legs pounding the ground.

Following the hunting dog was a young noble dressed in a light blue robe embroidered with cloud patterns.

His actual age was unknown, but judging from his appearance, he was only in his twenties.

The young noble was handsome and elegant, with long hair tied into a dignified bun, held in place with an ebony hairpin carved with a dragon's head.

At his waist hung a very lustrous piece of Red Jade and a finely crafted, rustic sword scabbard.

The scabbard was empty, the sword already in his right hand, pointing diagonally towards the ground.

The blade of this sword exhibited a pale blue color with spirals carved on it, resembling swirling clouds.

Su Que observed that the noble and the dog were in close proximity.

If he wanted to kill the dog, he would inevitably have to confront the noble.

In this situation, he had only two choices.

One was to give up the "Meridian Yin Absorption Technique."

The other was to engage with the noble.

The first choice was the most prudent.

The second choice was not prudent.

But it was not extremely dangerous either.

After all, this young noble had opened only two more meridians than him, and his proficiency in Lightweight Skill was likely inferior.

If he found himself at a disadvantage, he could still make his escape.

With this thought, Su Que decided to launch a surprise attack on the noble.

The noble was still fully focused on his surroundings, and if a surprise attack was launched at this moment, it would be detected swiftly, diminishing its effectiveness.

He believed that when the noble laid eyes on Feng Tianhan, all of his attention would be drawn to him.

That would be the perfect moment for a surprise attack.

After deciding, Su Que quietly followed behind the noble, maintaining a certain distance.

After a while, the noble finally followed the hunting dog into the cave where Feng Tianhan lay.

The cave was dark, so dark one couldn't see their hands in front of them.

Yet as soon as Lin Yu entered the cave, the pale blue glow emitted by his sword enveloped the entire cave as if covering it with a thin layer of blue gauze.

The sword he wielded was one of the Exotic Soldiers, forged from special ironstone taken from beneath the Dragon Pool.

Upon injecting True Qi into this ironstone, the True Qi was fragmented into small, sharp Qi Forces with immense destructive power.

Because the sword's Sword Qi fell like rain, and Lin Yu had always enjoyed poetry, he named the sword "Night Rain Listening Sword."

Upon entering the cave, he saw Feng Tianhan lying on the ground, and the sword-like eyebrow above his right eye slightly raised.

He finally saw Feng Tianhan.

A month ago, Feng Tianhan's Baiyou Sect clashed with the young members of the Lin Family over control of a mineral site.

Three young members of the Lin Family perished because of this.

The Lin Family, being one of the noble families of the Liang Kingdom, would not tolerate infringement on their dignity, even from a branch family. Since Baiyou Sect committed this act, the Lin Family was determined to destroy this sect.

Feng Tianhan, being a formidable member of Baiyou Sect, killed three young Lin Family members during the resistance and then managed to escape.

Under orders from the branch family patriarch, Lin Yu was tasked to capture Feng Tianhan alive, ensuring he underwent torturous death to maintain the Lin Family's dignity.

His "Night Rain Listening Sword" was extremely lethal, with Sword Qi like rain that could penetrate anything in front.

If he used his full strength, Feng Tianhan would undoubtedly be pierced to death.

However, because he needed to capture him alive, he was restrained in his fight with Feng Tianhan, giving Feng Tianhan a chance to escape here.

But why was Feng Tianhan unconscious here...

Lin Yu was puzzled.

Just then, the hairs on the back of Lin Yu's neck stood on end!

He felt a jolt run up his spine.

This was the instinctual feeling of a Martial Artist facing imminent danger!

Startled, Lin Yu quickly turned around with a defensive Returning Sword move to protect the back of his head, regardless of what was behind him!

Because he wore Inner Armor, the back of his head was the most vulnerable area not covered.

Bang!

Su Que originally planned to strike Lin Yu's back of the head.

Just then, as Lin Yu's sword swung backward, Su Que's fist smashed against Lin Yu's sword.

The "Night Rain Listening Sword" vibrated continuously, resonating for a long time.

Due to the force of that punch, Lin Yu lunged forward, crashing into the cave wall with a bang.

The cave shook immediately, with loose stones falling around.

Lin Yu felt a buzzing in his head, his vision blurred.

Suddenly, he felt moisture near his nose, it was two streams of blood flowing out.
