Chapter 74: Continuous Harvest, Xue Wuxin's Shock

Xue Wuxin was filled with anger, frustration, and resentment, but he knew he couldn't continue the battle. Otherwise, he would be the one to ultimately exhaust himself to death!

"Once I recover from my injuries and restore my full strength, I will come back to take your life!"

Xue Wuxin glared fiercely at Xu Yan below.

"The consumption is too great. I need to go to a nearby city to recover first!"

Xue Wuxin thought to himself.

After delivering a final blow, he directly flew away from the battlefield.

"Don't go! Keep fighting!"

Xu Yan hurriedly chased after him on the ground, still not satisfied with the fight.

The more he fought, the more he gained insights. He suddenly realized that a martial artist must engage in battles.

A martial artist who cannot fight has no future.

"That's Yunshan County. Why is he going to Yunshan County? My master is in Yunshan County."

Xu Yan watched as Xue Wuxin's figure disappeared from his sight, feeling somewhat puzzled.

The direction he was heading was indeed Yunshan County!

...

Li Xuan watched Meng Chong's strength grow day by day, feeling extremely satisfied and looking forward to the harvest his second disciple would bring.

It had to be said that Meng Chong's talent was indeed strong, especially in the realm of physical martial arts. In such a short time, he had already refined his body to the Copper Bone stage, and was not far from the Golden Bone stage.

However, there was a bottleneck from Copper Bone to Golden Bone that needed to be broken through.

Li Xuan believed that the Golden Bone bottleneck would not be a problem for Meng Chong. The only real challenge would probably be the Vajra Crystal Bone.

"Now that I am at the Innate Realm, my second disciple is only at the Blood Qi Realm. Can his entry into the sect enhance my strength?"

Li Xuan pondered.

"The Vajra Crystal Bone will definitely have an effect, and the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield should also further enhance my physical body."

Combining orthodox martial arts and physical martial arts, how strong would his strength be?

Li Xuan was full of anticipation.

Shi Er had recently made some progress in his cultivation, starting to refine his skin. As a top expert in the martial world, the process of refining his skin was not difficult, but his cultivation speed was much slower compared to Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

"Shi Er is not old, around thirty years old. To become a top expert in the martial world at this age indicates that he has a certain level of talent."

Li Xuan was quite satisfied with this servant.

He was efficient and had excellent culinary skills. Even if he could abstain from food, he still had a desire for delicious food.

Shi Er went out to buy a chicken.

Meng Chong was diligently cultivating, while Li Xuan sat in a chair, relaxed.

Suddenly!

"Your disciple Xu Yan has gained insight into the technique of shifting positions during a fierce battle. Your technique of shifting positions has reached perfection!"

Golden light appeared.

In an instant, a pattern of the Eight Trigrams appeared in Li Xuan's mind. The technique of shifting positions was now mastered and cultivated to perfection.

Li Xuan suddenly stood up.

"What's happening?"

Xu Yan gained insight into the technique of shifting positions during a fierce battle?

Where is he fighting?

With Xu Yan's strength, he should be invincible in the State of Qi. Even an army of a thousand or ten thousand would not be enough to make Xu Yan engage in a fierce battle.

This means that Xu Yan has encountered a powerful enemy!

"Is it a martial artist from this world, or a fierce beast like the Fire Mane Wolf?"

Li Xuan frowned in thought.

"Is Xu Yan in danger?"

Gaining insight into the technique of shifting positions clearly indicates that he was at a disadvantage in the battle and faced danger, leading to his sudden enlightenment.

This technique of shifting positions is very subtle, based on the Eight Trigrams, allowing for instantaneous changes in position to dodge attacks and strike the enemy.

In combat, it is more advanced than the Light Swallowing Technique.

This is essentially a combat technique, even surpassing the realm of techniques.

As cultivation and realm improve, the technique of shifting positions will become even more powerful.

"Your disciple Xu Yan has advanced the Dragon Subduing Palm to perfection during a fierce battle. Your Dragon Subduing Palm is now complete."

The Golden Finger provided another harvest.

The Dragon Subduing Palm is now complete!

Li Xuan couldn't sit still. What kind of powerful enemy did Xu Yan encounter to gain insight into the technique of shifting positions and then advance the Dragon Subduing Palm during the battle?

"I have to go and see."

He was worried about Xu Yan's safety and amazed by his talent, who could break through continuously in battle.

Indeed, martial artists need to fight!

A martial artist who cannot fight is not a true martial artist.

"Your disciple's combat experience has significantly improved during the fierce battle, and your combat experience has also greatly improved."

The Golden Finger continued to provide feedback.

His combat awareness in his mind awakened, and his combat experience instantly improved greatly.

"To Donghe Prefecture!"

Li Xuan didn't hesitate, his figure rising into the air and disappearing into the horizon.

Meng Chong, who was cultivating, was stunned. His master had flown away!

In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

This speed was too fast!

"Innate Realm martial artists can ride the air and travel a hundred miles in an instant. Is my master an Innate Realm expert?

"No, that's not right!

"My master's realm must be far beyond the Innate Realm. My senior brother once said that my master is a reclusive expert, whose realm is so high that it has already surpassed all martial arts realms, almost reaching the level of the Dao."

Meng Chong instantly felt a surge of excitement.

"I must strive to enter the sect as soon as possible!"

He cultivated even harder, the Great Sun Intent appearing, as if he was being refined by the Great Sun. His Copper Bone was gradually reaching perfection!

...

Li Xuan flew through the air, this being his first time flying after breaking through to the Innate Realm.

"Being a martial arts expert is truly wonderful. This is the first time I've flown in two lifetimes!"

Li Xuan thought to himself.

With his current strength, he quickly arrived over Donghe Prefecture.

There was no sign of battle.

A quick glance revealed that Xu Yan's parents were cultivating in the Xu family residence, and the household guards were either on duty or cultivating, all safe and sound.

"Is Xu Yan in the capital?"

Li Xuan frowned.

The capital was too far from Donghe Prefecture. Even if he rushed there with all his might, the battle would have ended, and the outcome decided.

"Should I go to the capital?"

Li Xuan hesitated.

Xu Yan was his precious disciple. With his current strength, the powerful enemy Xu Yan was facing could be eliminated with a wave of his hand.

However, the capital was too far. If Xu Yan was in trouble, he wouldn't be able to rescue him in time.

"Your disciple Xu Yan has advanced the Dragon Subduing Palm to the second level during a fierce battle. Your Dragon Subduing Palm has reached the second level."

The Golden Finger provided more feedback.

Li Xuan was taken aback. The second level of the Dragon Subduing Palm?

He was suddenly overjoyed. This disciple is capable. He could actually elevate the Dragon Subduing Palm to a higher level. If there is a second level, could there be a third, fourth, fifth level...

The second level of the Dragon Subduing Palm already possesses some dragon-like power, enhancing the "anger" in the palm force, greatly increasing its power!

The dragon-shaped palm force of the Dragon Subduing Palm also became more solid and dragon-like.

"Xu Yan can gain insight during a fierce battle, which means he is not helpless against the enemy. Now that he has gained insight into the second level of the Dragon Subduing Palm, he should not be defeated, right?"

Li Xuan pondered.

"Is Xu Yan in the capital, or has he gone to another place?

"Is the enemy he is facing a martial artist from this world, or a fierce beast like the Fire Mane Wolf?"

Li Xuan leaned towards the former.

"Has the Emperor of Qi found a martial artist? Or did Xu Yan interfere with the secular world, so martial artists came to target him?"

Li Xuan frowned in thought.

"Given my current strength, what level of martial artist am I in the martial arts world?"

"What is the martial arts world like in this world?"

Li Xuan looked down at the Xu family residence, waiting silently.

So far, there has been no movement in the Xu family residence.

This indicates that there has been no urgent news from the capital.

"Go back and have Shi Er use the Heavenly Mother Sect's intelligence to gather information about the capital."

Li Xuan had a plan in mind.

He then turned and returned to Yunshan County.

...

Xue Wuxin flew towards Yunshan County. After a hundred miles, he felt even more drained, even breathing slightly heavily.

But he dared not stop.

Xu Yan was chasing him. If he descended from the air, his speed would slow down, and he would be in danger if caught.

His injuries were worsening.

"How hateful! I have come to the borderlands, yet I am still in such a wretched state!

"No, it's even worse than in the inner domain."

Xue Wuxin was filled with anger and resentment, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.

"Once I perform the Blood Sacrifice in a city, absorb the essence and blood, and restore my strength, I will surely take your life!"

Xue Wuxin thought fiercely.

A small city appeared in his line of sight.

"This city is not large, with only about ten thousand people. Performing the Blood Sacrifice here can restore my strength to about eighty or ninety percent."

Xue Wuxin's eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty light.

"There should be no powerful experts in such a small city."

He was also puzzled. On his way from the inner domain, he encountered a team in the mountains, one of whom was the son of a high-ranking official in the State of Qi.

Given his status, he should have been protected by powerful experts.

Why was there not a single martial artist in that team?

And just as he emerged from the mountains, he encountered a powerful opponent. Was it a coincidence?

The borderlands should not have martial artists, so was that person special?

Xue Wuxin was puzzled.

Now was not the time to investigate. Recovering from his injuries and restoring his strength was the priority.

He flew directly over Yunshan County.

His keen senses instantly detected many people with strong blood qi in the county, not inferior to those he had absorbed in the mountains.

"There?"

Suddenly, Xue Wuxin sensed a particularly strong blood qi.

In this county, this blood qi was stronger than the entire county, giving him a strong desire.

"A martial artist!"

He was shocked!

A martial artist existed in such a small county!

In the borderlands, where the essence of heaven and earth had vanished, martial artists should not exist!

He focused his senses, trying to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, but he sensed nothing.

The essence of heaven and earth had not returned and remained in a state of disappearance.

"Why are there martial artists?"

Xue Wuxin thought of the young man he had fought, whose cultivation method was extremely special, different from the inner domain.

"Regardless, absorbing the blood qi of this martial artist will allow me to recover.

"Once I recover to the Master Realm, I don't believe there are any experts in the borderlands that can match a Master Realm martial artist."

A Master Realm martial artist was a top expert in the inner domain.

It was impossible for the borderlands to have Master Realm experts.

"This martial artist is much weaker, and dealing with him should not be difficult."

Xue Wuxin was extremely excited.

His figure moved, and he arrived over a small courtyard, seeing Meng Chong.

Looking at the bald, shiny head and the muscular, well-built body of Meng Chong, Xue Wuxin's eyes glowed with greedy delight.

"Such strong blood qi, though not as strong as that young man, absorbing his essence and blood will certainly help me recover and return to my peak strength.

"Killing that young man and absorbing his essence and blood, I will not be far from breaking through to the Grand Master Realm!"

Xue Wuxin was increasingly excited.

Once he broke through to the Grand Master Realm, not only in the borderlands, but even in the inner domain, he would fear no one.

The Grand Master Realm was the pinnacle of martial arts in the inner domain!

"Absorb his essence and blood!"

To avoid delays, Xue Wuxin immediately attacked.

He had not forgotten that Xu Yan was chasing him in this direction. He had to absorb the essence and blood of the young man before Xu Yan caught up.

Once he absorbed the essence and blood and recovered, he would show Xu Yan the power of a Master Realm expert.

He flicked his finger, and a thread of bloodthirsty ghost silk shot out, aiming for the heart.

Meng Chong was cultivating, his Copper Bone already perfected.

His physical body was becoming increasingly powerful, just one step away from the Golden Bone.

However, this step was a bottleneck, and he could not break through to the Golden Bone for a while.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat!

A sense of danger!

Where did the danger come from?

Meng Chong had not yet discovered the source of the danger when suddenly, something pierced his heart, and an extremely cold aura entered his heart.

As the cold aura entered, his heart rate increased dramatically, and his blood qi surged, creating a storm within his body.

It was like a drop of water in a pot of oil.

As the blood qi storm swept through, the Copper Bone, which had been stagnant and unable to continue refining, suddenly loosened.

"What is this?"

Meng Chong was shocked. What was this cold thread?

Following the thread, he saw Xue Wuxin standing in the air.

At that moment, Meng Chong's scalp tingled, and his heart tightened!

"An Innate Realm martial artist? Where did an Innate Realm martial artist come from? The State of Qi has no martial artists.

"My senior brother swept through the Divine Might Army and trampled the royal family of the State of Qi!"

This mysterious martial artist clearly had malicious intent!

The thread in his heart was a fatal attack, but because he cultivated the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, which provided unparalleled defense, it did not pierce his heart.

It only broke the skin?

Meng Chong punched, shattering the thread.

"Where is Master?"

Meng Chong was sweating profusely.

He had not yet entered the sect and was no match for the opponent in the air.

Where is Master?

Master just left and hasn't returned yet.

Did the opponent take advantage of Master's absence to kill him?

"Could it be a hitman sent by the Emperor of Wu?"

At that moment, Meng Chong thought of the Emperor of Wu.

He was on the wanted list of the State of Wu, with a bounty of ten thousand gold!

Xue Wuxin, in the air, was shocked.

The bloodthirsty ghost silk he had just used, though not
