Chapter 163: Chapter 96 Flying Sword

Xu Qing sat cross-legged, his body trembling slightly. If someone were close to him, they would inevitably hear a lingering resonance similar to the after-chime of an evening bell.

Under such a faint trembling sound, Xu Qing could clearly feel his whole body warming up as if his bones were becoming tender and numb.

This was due to his First Rank Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, which was purifying the impurities in his blood, and under the influence of this trembling sound, his bones were further developing and becoming even tougher.

After a long time, Xu Qing exhaled a breath.

"If I hadn’t encountered the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, my cultivation of the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist would hardly progress further."

Xu Qing knew that his bones, compared to ordinary people, could be considered as refined as iron.

But with the enhancement of the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, they were gradually transforming into something as strong as steel.

Not only did their hardness increase, but there was also a continuous increase in their toughness.

"The First Rank Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound already has such benefits, what about after Refining Internal..." Xu Qing couldn’t help but look forward in anticipation.

The marvel of the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound was even better than ordinary spiritual medicines.

Because medicines have side effects, even consuming Qi Blood Powder and Pei Yuan Pill over a prolonged period would burden the organs and form indissoluble alchemy toxins.

When he steps into the realm of Refining Internal, without a doubt, the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound would help refresh his organs and remove the alchemy toxins.

"In various sects, after Refining Internal, there might be unique secret techniques to remove the alchemy toxins from the organs, but undoubtedly, the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound with its inward-to-outward effect definitely belongs to a Superior Skill. Even within the Great Zen Temple, few people have cultivated the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound,’ which is revealing."

"Divine Soul actually greatly aids in the cultivation of Martial Arts, but after Refining Internal, ordinary martial artists who do not pursue Spirit and Body Integration, will almost certainly stagnate. It can be said that Dual Cultivation of Life and Spirit, although a necessary path to the grand Dao, is also the most arduous and rugged road."

"Fortunately, I have a clear goal, and also practice Xuantian Visualization Image and Golden Light Spell concurrently, certainly to achieve on the path of Dual Cultivation of Life and Spirit. Moreover, I have already attained the realm of Yin Yang Coordination, so even without Spirit and Body Integration, my Martial Arts can continue to advance, but in the absence of Spirit and Body Integration, my combat power in Martial Arts alone would indeed be inferior to others at the same realm."

It is an act against nature to strive for perfection in both aspects.

The difficult path is not the "Dao".

The Heavenly Dao reduces excess to aid the deficient. The Human Dao reduces the deficient to serve the excess.

Everyone knows that the Heavenly Dao is correct, but worldly actions tend to follow the Human Dao.

Because reducing the deficient is easier.

Thus, under the Heavenly Dao, naturally to every extreme there must be a reversal, flourishing will lead to decline, and extremity will bring about renewal.

When the deficient is reduced to the extreme, destruction will inevitably come.

Just watch them build high buildings, host guests, and then see their buildings collapse!

Xu Qing gained enlightenment, and initiated the Eight Diagrams Body Technique with his sleeves fluttering, and effortlessly ascended the beams.

He had just deployed a technique for concealing Qi-Blood as advised by King Lin, combining it with the Eight Diagrams Body Technique and Crane Form Skill. His body was as hollow as a valley, as empty as bamboo, and his feet seemed to be on springs suddenly shooting him high up.

He landed again, trying to replicate the wonderful feeling from before, but found that no matter how he tried, he could not easily leap onto the beam again.

"What am I missing?"

Xu Qing furrowed his brows, feeling as if he had grasped something yet lacking a key element, causing the previous spark of enlightenment to flash by and disappear.

"There’s an expert coming." Xu Qing’s Divine Soul cultivation had reached a level of Exorcism, making his senses sharper.

He pushed open the window and looked toward the southern courtyard wall, and although he used Divine Soul, he saw no bright flames of Qi-Blood nor any approaching ghosts or spirits.

Strange.

"What’s wrong, Young Master?" Su Lianqing, in the inner room, heard Xu Qing opening the window and hurried out to see.

"They should be here." Xu Qing frowned.

He naturally trusted his senses, although he could not detect the exact position of the opponent, yet he clearly "saw" a sudden deepening of dark energy within the Qi Fortune of the bronze mirror, indicating a formidable enemy had arrived with deep hostile intentions, posing a threat to his life.

This sudden darkening in the Qi Fortune, which Xu Qing termed as "misfortune looming," signified an ominous omen.

Before Xu Qing could finish speaking, his body hair stood on end, a sense of terror spontaneously arising, and almost reflexively, he pressed down on Su Lianqing’s head, causing both their bodies to duck down suddenly.

"Be careful." King Lin’s explosive shout, like thunder, erupted in the courtyard. Simultaneously, the skylight of the roof shattered, and King Lin leapt down, his Bull Demon Strong Fist burst forth with its unparalleled might, striking a floating, rune-carved wooden sword.

The wooden sword, having taken a punch from King Lin, did not shatter into debris but instead immediately shot out through the skylight.

"Thinking of escaping?" King Lin sneered coldly, his body leaping up leaving a residual image, chasing the wooden sword.

Xu Qing did not breathe a sigh of relief, but instead coldly huffed towards the outside, "Come out!"

A moment later, from the shadows outside the window, a person in black emerged, tall and long-legged, his hands dark blue as if eagle claws, his nails sharp, reflecting the moonlight, extremely grim.

"How cautious, what a pity." The man in black didn’t waste words, his body like a diving hawk charging at Xu Qing.

But the moment he made his move, he saw a fierce white saber light slashing towards his face.

The man in black hadn’t expected Xu Qing’s saber to be so swift and fierce.

"Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber." Being a seasoned fighter in the worldly society, he recognized the origin of the saber technique at a glance.

Instantly, the man made his hands like eagle claws in preparation to seize the handle of Xu Qing’s saber.

His gloves were fitted with iron claws, even the nails were crafted from refined steel, themselves formidable short weapons.

His twenty years of Eagle Claw Skill prowess was exceptionally formidable.

The muscles on his arm bulged, veins exposed, muscles twined together like pythons, filled with explosive power.

This grab directly clashed with Xu Qing’s Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber.

The two exchanged several blows in a flash.

The man in black felt the terror of Xu Qing’s saber technique and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Good."

With that shout, his footsteps slid as if gliding on the ground, coming to Xu Qing’s side to grab at the vital area of Xu Qing’s ribs with his Eagle Claw Skill.

What?

When the man in black grabbed, not only did he fail to pierce through Xu Qing’s vital rib area, but it felt like he was probing into an extremely soft mass of cotton, and then at the bottom, there was an incredibly tough cowhide.

His Qi-Blood stagnated.

At that moment, Xu Qing’s other hand shot out a tiger claw, grabbing back toward the eyes of the man in black.

The suddenness and ferocity of Xu Qing’s tiger claw exceeded the man in black’s imagination.

He forcefully turned his head to avoid the calamity of being blinded but still got the corner of his eye ripped open by the tiger claw, a large layer of skin flayed off, blood and flesh muddled.

The man in black had not yet experienced the searing pain when Xu Qing’s Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber was already swiping at his throat.

He immediately did a back bridge, flipping his body backward.

Xu Qing’s saber missed, but he did not lose morale and immediately followed with another move, the Bull Demon Stepping Hoof, stepping towards the man in black’s lower body.

The man in black instantly grounded his body and performed the Donkey Roll, yet still got one of his thighs stepped on by Xu Qing.

At this moment, his spirit was highly focused, with no time to feel the pain in his body. He hooked a nearby chair with his iron claw and smashed it toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing frowned, and with a punch, he shattered the chair.

Wood pieces exploded.

Taking advantage of this distraction, the man in black rushed into the courtyard.

Xu Qing followed up with the Eight Diagrams Step.

The man in black then kicked.

His toe flicked out with a short blade, performing a Yin Slash Short Blade strike aimed directly at Xu Qing’s lower body vital area.

Xu Qing moved with the Eight Diagrams Step, directly dodging to the side position of the man in black.

The man in black forcibly twisted his body, clawing toward Xu Qing’s face.

Bang!

Saber and claw intersected, creating sparks in the void.

The man in black had forcibly twisted his body, not using full strength, and now half-knelt on the ground, the base of his palm split open by Xu Qing’s saber.

At this moment, Xu Qing finally had an opportunity to gather strength, and he delivered a Beng Fist with surging Dark Strength, striking right below the back of the man’s head, precisely at the top of the spinal column.

The human spine is the most crucial spot in the torso.

Even though the man in black had tough sinews and bones and cultivated Dark Strength, being struck like that, he immediately lost all combat ability, collapsing to the ground completely paralyzed.

"Dark Strength," the man in black exclaimed in horror, spraying out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered with idle talk. "Where is his flesh body?"

The man in black clenched his teeth and did not speak.

Xu Qing declared, "If you don’t talk, I’ll wipe out your entire Eagle Claw Sect."

He now had insight into the worldly society’s affairs and had recognized the origins of the man in black during their fight.

The man in black said in fear, "You wouldn’t dare."

"Spit it out!" Xu Qing stared directly at the man in black, his Divine Soul emitting a Crane Call, shaking the man’s soul.

He was dealing with a formidable Martial Arts Master, and without destabilizing the opponent’s mind in advance, the Crane Call wouldn’t have been effective. As Xu Qing emitted the Crane Call, he simultaneously struck with the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist, targeting the bones of the man in black.

The Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist encompassed all 206 bones in the human body. Although Xu Qing hadn’t specialized in learning the Bone Separating Hand, his bone-separating technique was no less effective than that of masters who had cultivated it.

The man in black was in severe pain, his soul further stimulated by the Crane Call, unable to even gather thoughts or retreat into a feigned death state to avoid the pain.

Instinctively, he glanced in a certain direction.

Xu Qing immediately understood and said to Su Lianqing, "Don’t let him die."

As he spoke, he executed the Bull Demon Stepping Hoof, leaping over the wall and rushing toward the direction indicated by the man in black.

The Peach Wood Sword that had flown in earlier was dangerously potent. Without killing his opponent, Xu Qing would not be able to rest easy.

Regardless of whether Lin Tian had managed to capture the Flying Sword, Xu Qing was determined to chase after it, find the location of his opponent’s physical body, and kill it before he could be at peace.

...

...

Inside a dark chamber.

A Peach Wood Sword flew straight through from the outside to the inside.

Elder Bai of the Lotus Sect suddenly opened his eyes in the dark chamber, "A Refining Internal expert."

He was drenched in cold sweat.

The Qi-Blood of the man just now was the most intense he had ever encountered in his life.

Even if his Thunderstruck Wood Peach Wood Sword, a sacred artifact of his sect in which his spirit resided, was not afraid of Martial Arts Qi-Blood, it could hardly withstand too many hits from the opponent.

Therefore, after one strike, Elder Bai immediately controlled the Peach Wood Sword to flee far away and deliberately lured Lin Tian away.

At the same time, this also created an opportunity for the Sect Leader of the Eagle Claw Sect to have a single fight against Xu Qing and that despicable wench.
