Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 224 - 147: Blood Saber Technique! Xingyi Fist!

"You stay," Su Que said indifferently.

He wasn't sure if Tian Butian was planning to flee, but he couldn't allow him to escape.

After all, Tian Butian's Martial Arts Realm was not low, and he could provide considerable Death Qi for his "Nine Yin Corpse Claw."

Tian Butian sighed inwardly and cursed Su Que with many words but had no choice but to stay.

Soon, various secret manuals and treasures were brought out by those underlings.

Among them were also some cultivation elixirs. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Su Que consumed all the elixirs in front of these people.

He found that although the efficacy of these elixirs wasn't as good as the Celestial Essence Pill, overall, their effects were decent.

Then, he began to flip through the secret manuals.

Among them were Martial Arts like "Blood Saber Insights" and "Xingyi Fist."

A single inquiry revealed that Zhou Wutao, whom he had just killed, was a member of the Blood Saber Sect.

And before him was Tian Butian, a discarded disciple of the Central Plains Xingyi Sect.

Besides the secret manuals and elixirs, there were also some precious Jade Pendants and gold and silver ornaments.

Su Que instructed a few lackeys to bundle all these items up with bags.

Afterward, he calmly said, "You can die now."

"What!"

After hearing this sentence, Tian Butian felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

"You actually deceived us! You're going back on your word!"

"Brothers, let's join forces to kill him!"

"Even though he's tough, we have numbers, we can definitely wear him out until he dies!"

The other bandits, equally shocked by this word, picked up their weapons and posed to rush at Su Que.

Tian Butian hadn't finished his first sentence before he executed the Swallow Form Fist from Xingyi Fist, resembling a flying swallow, escaping from the crowd and fleeing outward.

Leaving only the bandits he had incited, rushing toward Su Que.

None of these bandits was a match for Su Que, of course.

Su Que wielded the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, his hands curved their fingers into claws, extending toward those around him.

A burst of eerie, pale white cold air erupted from his body.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

His body exuded an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Those bandits, though used to killing, had courage greater than the average person.

Now seeing Su Que's tall stature, wearing a mask, and emanating a sinister white qi, their courage unexpectedly wavered.

Without moving their weapons from their hands, some were already feeling weak-handed.

Su Que swung his hands continuously, sending claw energy through the air.

Suddenly, blood splattered, leaving no life wherever it passed.

Tian Butian, exerting all his Lightweight Skills, ran desperately.

He listened to the screams and the sound of bodies hitting the ground behind him, daring not to look back.

Suddenly, he felt severe pain in both legs.

Immediately afterward, as if losing weight, the scenery in front of him suddenly tilted.

He discovered that while sprinting with Lightweight Skills, blood flowers burst out from his knees.

Then, the part above the knees slid downwards.

It turned out that Su Que, having finished slaughtering the bandits, quickly caught up with Tian Butian.

Tian Butian's entire body fell to the ground, and then he saw Su Que's right hand, fingers curled into a claw, reaching for his head.

"Spare me! Don't!"

Swoosh!

Su Que's five fingers plunged into Tian Butian's skull, then operated the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, instantly causing a sinister white gas to rise from Tian Butian's body and enter Su Que's hand.

Once Tian Butian's flesh was completely dried up, Su Que returned to the manor, absorbing the Death Qi from those bandit corpses.

Nine Yin Corpse Claw (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 14%)

Nine Yin Corpse Claw (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 15%)

Nine Yin Corpse Claw (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 16%)

The progress of the Nine Yin Corpse Claw visibly increased bit by bit.

Moreover, with the absorption of the Death Qi, he felt warm currents flowing from his hands into his limbs and bones.

If other Martial Artists were cultivating the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, at the step where Death Qi enters the body.

The eerie cold of Death Qi would surely cause the Martial Artist's flesh to freeze, and their meridians to be damaged.

However, this kind of side effect was completely reversed in Su Que's body.

Su Que's physique was being nourished by this Death Qi.

With the absorption of Death Qi, under his black Martial Attire, one could see his muscles slightly swell and become somewhat more toned.

The lines of his muscles became deeper and more refined than before.

Once all the Death Qi was absorbed completely, Su Que looked at his Attributes.

Life Span: 478

Talent Value: 93

Due to the nourishment of the Death Qi to his body, his life span increased by 2 years.

Su Que glanced at the ground filled with dried-up corpses, pressing his foot hard, executed Lightweight Skills, and left Five Dragon Mountain, heading back to Jiannan Prefecture.

About a quarter-hour later, Li Xuanji and his Heaven-Breaking Army finally arrived at Five Dragon Mountain.

Upon mounting the mountain, they saw a mountain of corpses piled up with dried flesh in the manor, causing their hearts to tremble.

Even Li Xuanji was shocked by the scene.

"Lord, this...," said Qiu Yu beside Li Xuanji, looking pale, unable to help but speak.

But halfway through his speech, he struggled to continue.

Li Xuanji said, "Aunt Yu, you mean it's too wicked, right?"

Qiu Yu nodded.

Li Xuanji continued, "Back then, the Liang Kingdom joined forces with the Great Sun Sect, which is now the Great Buddha Temple, to seize my Li Family's territory."

"At that time, the Great Sun Sect was also an Evil Cult, I'm afraid the scene then was no less intense than now."

Having said this, Li Xuanji ordered his lackeys to search across the mountain to see if the bandits had left any treasures here.

...

Su Que exterminated the Eighteen Bandits at Five Dragon Mountain overnight, and by dawn the next day, returned home.

He didn't expect to spend such a short time to completely wipe out the Eighteen Bandits of Celestial River Prefecture.

From then on, Su Que continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

After Su Que wiped out the Eighteen Bandits, Li Xuanji pressed ahead towards the other unoccupied territories of Celestial River Prefecture.

As Li Xuanji anticipated, the Commander of the Red Dragon Army of Celestial River Prefecture, Ma Kuanglong, upon seeing the tense situation, immediately sent people to contact the Eighteen Bandits, planning to join forces with them against Li Xuanji.

After all, the strength of the Eighteen Bandits wasn't weak, and the two forces combined could reduce the casualties of his Red Dragon Army.

Because Su Que's slaughtered that night took place in the evening.

When Li Xuanji arrived, it was also late at night, he directed his Heaven-Breaking Army to seal the news of the Eighteen Bandits' demise.

Therefore, Ma Kuanglong remained completely unaware of the events of that night.

The messenger dispatched was also captured by Li Xuanji.

Half a month passed, and the war between Li Xuanji's Heaven-Breaking Army and Ma Kuanglong's Red Dragon Army grew increasingly fierce.

Li Xuanji estimated that very soon, direct confrontation with Ma Kuanglong would be inevitable, requiring Su Que's intervention again.

Thus, Li Xuanji immediately sent word back to Jiannan Prefecture City, instructing marks to be left on the city wall for Su Que.

On the Jiannan Prefecture City side, Su Que devoted himself daily to cultivation, with his progress steadily advancing.

The amount of elixirs being consumed was also increasing.

Furthermore, he found that after consuming numerous Celestial Essence Pills, the efficacy gradually diminished for him.

After discussing this situation with Elder Qingxuan, Elder Qingxuan joined forces with other Alchemists to refine some elixirs slightly less potent than the Celestial Essence Pill for Su Que.

Since Su Que hadn't consumed these elixirs before, as long as their quantity was sufficient, the accumulated efficacy could still be effective.

However, gradual reduction in efficacy was inevitable.

When Su Que visited Elder Qingxuan to refine pills, he discussed this problem.

Elder Qingxuan replied, "To solve this issue, I can think of two methods."

"One method is to scour the Southern Domain for Elixir Recipes, find some new recipes to continuously refine new elixirs for you."

"After all, when a new elixir is first consumed, its efficacy is optimal, and then it will gradually decline."

"The other method is to enhance the transportation of Central Plains materials, to refine new elixirs more potent than the Celestial Essence Pill for you."

"However, if increasing transportation, the large volume of materials en route from Central Plains to Southern Domain is highly susceptible to robbery."

"To prevent looting, the strength configuration of the transportation team must be much higher than typical transportation teams."

"Both methods require considerable manpower..."

Elder Qingxuan said this while looking at Su Que.

Clearly, he wanted Su Que to discuss with Li Xuanji.

To see if Li Xuanji would arrange people to handle these matters for him.
