Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 242 - 156: Master of the Cave of Myriad Poisons! Blood Movement Technique!

Chapter 242: Chapter 156: Master of the Cave of Myriad Poisons! Blood Movement Technique!

"Good!" He Lingyu spat out a word from her alluring red lips and then suddenly stood up.

...

Li Xuanji and the Heaven-Breaking Army were temporarily stationed outside a county town.

Su Que was arranged by Li Xuanji to stay in the most luxurious inn in the county, where he was treated with excellent food and wine.

At this moment, Li Xuanji was waiting for more troops and experts to gather here. Once everyone arrived, they would enter Miaojiang.

At the same time, he was deploying and dispatching troops, letting meridian opening realm martial arts experts lead other martial artists’ teams to reclaim the cities.

Taking advantage of Su Que not being by their side, Fan Gushan whispered to Li Xuanji after a soldier retreated:

"My lord, if that mysterious person asks about your ’Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill’ again, just tell him that I can teach him another martial art that can forcefully enhance power."

Li Xuanji’s eyes suddenly brightened: "Master, you have another martial art that can forcefully enhance power?"

At the same time, he wondered why his master had never mentioned it before, only teaching him the "Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill" with significant side effects.

Fan Gushan immediately saw through Li Xuanji’s thoughts and fabricated a lie: "Because this martial art cannot compare to the ’Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill’."

It was hard for Fan Gushan himself to say which was stronger, the "Demon Saber" or the "Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill," as it entirely depended on those practicing the two martial arts.

However, he felt that the damage and life cost of the "Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill" was better than the confusion and family estrangement caused by the "Demon Saber."

Because after practicing the Demon Saber, it was very likely to become like him, having his mind invaded by demonic qi the moment he used True Qi.

If so, no matter how powerful one became after practicing the Demon Saber, they would only harm their friends and family.

Li Xuanji said, "Then what are the side effects of this martial art?"

He thought, even if its power is not as strong as the "Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill," if its side effects are smaller, he could accept it.

After all, he believed nothing could be scarier than damaging his body and lifespan.

Fan Gushan naturally would not reveal the side effects of the "Demon Saber" to Li Xuanji, nor mention the term "Demon Saber," lest Li Xuanji heard about this martial art elsewhere.

After practicing the "Demon Saber," one could go berserk and lose all reason, killing everyone they see.

The people that came to mind were all targets of slaughter.

The ones most deeply ingrained in one’s mind were those they often interacted with daily.

If Li Xuanji knew the side effects of the Demon Saber and found out he taught this martial art to that mysterious person,

that mysterious person, who often interacted with them daily,

could very well go berserk after learning the "Demon Saber" and might even turn their blade against them.

Thus, teaching the mysterious person the "Demon Saber" was akin to shooting oneself in the foot.

Li Xuanji could not understand this.

But in reality, he did not genuinely intend to teach the mysterious person the "Demon Saber."

He merely wanted to verify if that mysterious person was the "Innate Demon Monarch."

And the reason he wanted to verify this related to the Black Tortoise Blood in his body.

He did not want Li Xuanji to know he had the Black Tortoise Blood in his body, so he would not say that he planned to teach Su Que the "Demon Saber."

Therefore, he could only say to Li Xuanji, "This martial art is not as powerful as the ’Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill,’ and its side effects are worse."

Li Xuanji frowned and said, "Such a martial art... if I tell that mysterious gentleman this, will he learn it?"

Fan Gushan said, "I’ll explain it to him regardless; if he chooses not to learn it, that’s his prerogative."

Li Xuanji nodded: "Alright, if that gentleman asks again, I will mention this martial art."

...

That night, the army and martial arts experts began gathering with Li Xuanji’s forces.

Once Li Xuanji saw that they had sufficient strength, he invited Su Que to join them in advancing towards Miaojiang.

To allow Su Que to rest and cultivate, Li Xuanji arranged for eight robust men to carry a sealed and spacious sedan chair for him to sit in.

These eight men were skilled at carrying sedan chairs, ensuring it remained steady and balanced.

The person inside the sedan chair would not feel the slightest wobble.

As the sedan moved within the army, Su Que sat inside.

He indeed felt the sedan was extremely stable, and his sensing power only occasionally detected a slight sway.

This made it easier for him to focus on his cultivation.

As Li Xuanji’s army marched toward Miaojiang, more troops and experts joined them.

Soon, they assembled a force of forty thousand troops, marching mightily towards Miaojiang.

Compared to the Central Plains’ army, forty thousand troops were not many, but for the sparsely populated Miaojiang, it was an overwhelming force.

...

As Li Xuanji advanced, Miaojiang scouts spotted him.

The scout raced back to report the information to Liao Tianshan and He Lingyu.

Liao Tianshan and He Lingyu had just prepared to leave Miaojiang to find Li Xuanji; upon hearing the news, they began to discuss.

Liao Tianshan sneered, "That brat Li Xuanji, we haven’t even gone to kill him, and he’s coming straight to us."

"Does he think that just because he has more troops, he can conquer my Miaojiang?"

He Lingyu furrowed her delicate brows: "He’s managed to occupy the Southern Domain in a short time; obviously, he’s no fool."

"He’s not hiding his presence and is coming right at us without formidable protection. Is he not afraid of being surrounded by us?"

Although Su Que had participated in several decisive battles for Li Xuanji, 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

under Su Que’s suggestions, Li Xuanji had sealed the information tightly.

None of the witnesses disclosed Su Que’s strength, martial arts, or any other information.

Liao Tianshan said, "From what you’ve said, there might be a trap."

"Then we shall first send out the Gu insects to test the strength of Li Xuanji’s army."

"If no danger is found, we will launch a full-scale attack and kill Li Xuanji first!"

Liao Tianshan’s words were out of caution, but deep down, he didn’t take Li Xuanji seriously.

He and He Lingyu were both at the Gang Condensing Realm, one capable of condensing five feet of Gang Qi, and the other three feet.

He couldn’t believe anyone in the Heaven-Breaking Army could rival them.

...

At the break of dawn, as the sky lightened, Li Xuanji and the Heaven-Breaking Army had already entered the vast mountains of Miaojiang.

Due to the absence of morning lights, the forest was still quite dim.

Upon entering Miaojiang, Su Que emerged from the sedan and sought out Tong Fu, one of the Twelve Village Chiefs of Miaojiang who accompanied the army.

Previously, he had interrogated Tong Fu, learning that the protective force that erupted from Tian Longteng and the sudden giant strength of Tong Fu were all because of Miaojiang Gu Masters raising Gu in their bodies.

Upon acquiring this information, Su Que lost interest, as he would not raise Gu in his body.

Consequently, he asked Li Xuanji to keep an eye on Tong Fu while he concentrated on his cultivation.

Now, having entered Miaojiang, he was curious about the gathering areas of poisonous plants and insects, so he immediately found Tong Fu again to ask for directions.

"My friend, I actually know Miaojiang quite well too; I could guide you instead,"

Fan Gushan, who was also in the army, interjected upon hearing Su Que asking Tong Fu.

He sought to seize the opportunity to covertly teach Su Que the "Demon Possession Secret Technique" without arousing his suspicions.

If Su Que were truly the "Innate Demon Monarch," he would want to gain Su Que’s trust even more.

Because transferring Su Que’s blood into his body using the Blood Movement Technique,

it wasn’t something he could do alone; it required the joint effort of two people.

He developed the Blood Movement Technique by not only referring to the Blood Exchange Skill but also incorporating other martial arts.

Among these was the century-old Demon Sect’s Furnace Cauldron Technique.

The Furnace Cauldron Technique of the Demon Sect required the cultivator to deceive someone into practicing special inner strength.

This person was called the "Furnace."

When the "Furnace" achieved great success in inner strength, the cultivator would operate the cultivation technique to absorb all the cultivation into themselves.

He had tried it before, too; attempting to forcibly transfer someone else’s blood into his own body.

Blood expelled from a person’s body and entering his own would not integrate with his blood and would be rejected by his body.

Only when two people unleashed their cultivation powers would the transferred blood merge with his own.

"Oh, sir, do you know where the poisonous insects and plants of Miaojiang converge?" Su Que asked.

"I studied Gu Skill in Miaojiang for a while, so I’m familiar with it," Fan Gushan replied.

Su Que also found Fan Gushan intriguing because he could never see through Fan Gushan’s strength.

So, he wanted to take this opportunity to probe into Fan Gushan’s depth.

"Then I’ll trouble you, sir," Su Que said.

Fan Gushan agreed and explained a few things to Li Xuanji, asking him to fire a signal cannon if they encountered Miaojiang Gu Masters to summon them back.

After that, he led Su Que towards the places where poisonous insects and plants gathered.
