Chapter 348: Initial Ignition

Chapter 348 - Initial Ignition

In the county town.

A person was standing outside the low wall.

He was thin and weak, his clothes were ragged. He stuck close to the wall and did not move, as if he did not exist.

It was late at night.

A storm came, extinguishing the torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers.

The soldiers rode their horses through the muddy road twice, but did not notice a person standing by the wall.

This person stuck close to the wall with his eyes closed, waiting for something.

After a while.

A black bug flew over and landed on his shoulder. With a light burrow, it burrowed into his body.

"So it was the north that met the enemy first ... and they discovered the encirclement ..."

"It was done by a young scout."

This person was silent for a while, then shook his head and said,

"Humph, to be able to kill a small team of ours, he is quite capable. But he is not worth my time."

"More importantly ..."

"Bai Ling Temple obviously received the fake news that we spread and thought that there were not many enemies coming this time. Why did they suddenly mobilize the entire sect to fight us head-on?"

This person muttered a few words, stuck close to the wall, and continued to wait.

After a few more breaths.

Another black bug flew over and burrowed into his ear.

"Liu Ping!"

"Bai Ling Temple's Sect Master wants to recruit a disciple. I suggest that we help the government to kill all of our disciples ..."

"We must take revenge!"

The man suddenly opened his eyes, pressed his hand on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Go and investigate this person called Liu Ping thoroughly!"

Dense black bugs fell from his arm and flew out in the night rain, dispersing in all directions of the county town.

Not long after.

A bug flew back and landed on the man's hand, making a soft chirping sound.

"Xu Sheng ..."

The man said a name.

...

Fuyun Mountain.

Bai Ling Temple.

"Master, teach me the last few moves of the Spirit Summoning Saber Technique," Liu Ping said.

"No! How many days have you been in the sect? You want to learn the sect's ultimate technique? "The Sect Master rejected him sternly.

"But didn't you teach me the first move?"

"I thought you wouldn't be able to learn it. If I knew that you could learn it with just one look, I wouldn't teach you that move either."

"... Yes."

He learned one move from a saber technique. Just as his appetite was piqued, he was not allowed to read the rest of the content.

Liu Ping felt deeply regretful.

"Don't think too much about it. Actually, it's because this blade technique resonates with the five elements too easily. It's very powerful. I'm afraid that you won't be able to control it after you learn it and hurt your own people." The Sect Leader said.

Liu Ping nodded.

This consideration was also correct.

The premise was that he was really only 15 years old.

"Master, I saw that the explanation of the fist technique mentioned a lot of strange phenomena. Why can't I use them?" he asked.

The Sect Leader said, "In ancient times, a casual punch from us humans could move the sun, moon, and stars. With the power of the five elements, we were invincible."

"But now, for some reason, it's getting harder and harder for us to sense the power of the five elements."

"Didn't you find out the reason?" Liu Ping asked.

"Why didn't they look for it? Generations of people have looked for it, but they still haven't found the reason."

The Sect Master sighed and said, "The cultivation methods are still the same, and the world is still the same, but the connection between us humans and the Five Elements is gradually disappearing."

Liu Ping fell silent.

In fact, it was because the power of the laws was fading.

But he couldn't talk about it now.

He was only a fifteen-year-old boy. How could he know such a secret?

He would either be treated as a lunatic or be suspected.

The Sect Leader said, "You've only been in the sect for a short period of time. You should have trained for a few more years before imparting the various true techniques."

He smiled helplessly and continued, "Back then, any one of our fist techniques could shake the heavens and earth. As for this Spirit Summoning Saber Technique, it's even more impressive."

"How strong is this saber technique?" Liu Ping asked.

"The saber is like the scorching sun, unstoppable."

The Sect Leader said, but his face revealed a lonely expression.

Liu Ping was not in a hurry to look at the saber technique. He sighed and said, "Maybe in a few years, the power of the five elements will return."

"Everyone hopes so, but the hope is getting slimmer and slimmer." The Sect Leader sighed.

At this moment, a disciple walked into the main hall, cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader, Little Uncle-Master."

"What's the matter?" The Sect Leader asked.

"Someone is looking for Little Uncle-Master. His name is Xu Sheng. He says he's Little Uncle-Master's follower." The disciple said.

Liu Ping came to a realization and said, "Oh, it's a brother of mine. Master, do you think he can come in?"

The Sect Leader said, "Of course, since he's a friend, you should welcome him personally. There are guest rooms in the temple. Just call and someone will arrange it."

"Thank you, Master."

"Go, go and meet your friend. Come and find me tomorrow."

"Yes."

Liu Ping got up and walked out of the main hall. He followed the disciple all the way to the entrance of the temple.

He saw Xu Sheng standing outside with a bag on his back. He looked like he was going to stay here.

Liu Ping smiled and called out, "Xu Sheng!"

Xu Sheng turned and saw him. He laughed and said, "Brother Liu, I'm here again!"

He ran towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping smiled and looked at him. Suddenly, two lines of words appeared above Xu Sheng's head.

[Complete Parasite]

[Description: Completely occupies the body of flesh and blood. Read everything about the host and control the host's body until the host dies]

[Special Description: After leaving the host, the host will be weak for some time]

The moment the words appeared, Xu Sheng was already halfway there and was about to reach Liu Ping.

Liu Ping's smile did not change. He said, "You're here indeed. Looks like you still remember when we first met."

Xu Sheng recalled and laughed, "Yes, Brother Liu. If you teach me the complete martial arts of our sect, I'll do anything for you!"

"How embarrassing," Liu Ping sighed.

"Brother Liu, don't stand on ceremony with me!"

"Okay."

The blade flashed and the two of them separated.

Xu Sheng's broken arm flew into the sky. He said in shock and anger, "Brother Liu! Why are you doing this! "

Liu Ping did not answer. He chased after him and slashed five times with his long blade. The blade pierced Xu Sheng's chest.

"You're so ruthless!" Xu Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Thank you for the compliment" Liu Ping said with a smile.

In an instant, a huge meatball appeared on Xu Sheng's back. He shot up and flew towards the path outside the temple.

Liu Ping was already prepared. The moment the other party moved, he followed him.

"How did you know?" The meatball asked.

Liu Ping's eyes were as cold as ice. He wielded his blade with both hands and said,

"Slash."

A Fire Qilin appeared on the blade and pounced on the meatball.

Boom!

The meatball was attacked three times by the Fire Qilin. It was burned into a pile of meat and fell to the ground.

It suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, fifteen years old! There's actually such a genius! "

"But you killed your good brother with your own hands today. Let's see how you'll overcome your inner demons in the future!"

Liu Ping looked at it coldly and raised his long blade high.

"He was killed by you. Why would I have inner demons?"

"You killed him with your own hands!" The pile of meat roared.

"In order to deal with me, you even killed your closest kin. Aren't you afraid of what the world will think of you? Let me tell you, you'll never be the leader of the human race. Because you're so cold and heartless to your own people. Just to save your own life, you chose such a selfish way to kill your own people! "The pile of meat said viciously.

Liu Ping laughed and said, "I don't care what the world thinks of me. Go to hell."

The long blade fell.

The pile of meat paste was instantly enveloped by the endless raging flames, making crackling sounds as it was burned.

It was burned into a pile of black ashes.

At this moment, the entire Daoist temple reacted. One figure after another rushed over.

Liu Ping turned and rushed back to Xu Sheng's side. He bent down and held Xu Sheng's hand.

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly.

"I should have followed Brother Liu up the mountain ... but I didn't think it through ... and ended up like this."

He looked at the soldier uniform on him. His eyes were filled with regret and reluctance.

"Don't think too much. It's not your fault." Liu Ping said.

Xu Sheng gradually lost his breath. Seeing that he was about to die, he suddenly thought of something. He stared at Liu Ping and grabbed his hand tightly.

Liu Ping thought for a moment and asked, "What's the name of your sect?"

"Fist ... Victory ... Sect ..." Xu Sheng said reluctantly.

"I'll pass down the Blood Surge Fist Technique and spread the martial arts of your Fist Victory Sect." Liu Ping said.

"Thank you."

Xu Sheng exhaled and stopped moving.

Liu Ping calmed down and stood up silently under everyone's gaze.

Lines of small burning words appeared in front of his eyes.

[The evil sect's Left Emissary has been killed]

[The power of the law of fire has recovered to the 'Initial Ignition' stage]

[The power of the law of earth, water, and wind has begun to awaken]
