Chapter 83: Annihilation, Obtain the Cultivation Technique! (Part 1)

"Senior, you can't kill me! I am the young master of the Song family of Great Qin. I have the potential to inherit everything the Song family possesses. Senior, when that happens, we can split the Song family's assets. Senior, imagine how much wealth that would be, how many top-notch women you could have, and the unimaginable power. Senior, don't you want to obtain it...?"

As Song Ren began to paint a picture of immense benefits, he noticed that the masked, robust man in black robes was not listening to him at all but continued to gather martial qi, which chilled his heart.

The hand that could control his life was gathering martial qi in a terrifying manner.

Glancing at the old ancestor of the He family, He Lian, who was staring at him, Song Ren's face turned urgent. He pointed at He Lian and said to Xiao Bei, "Senior, that cultivation technique really belongs to the Song family. It was just stolen by some villains. When our Song family people arrived at the scene, we saw a group of people fighting over the technique. In the end, we found out that He Lian of the He family took it. This is the truth, the truth! He Lian, you old scoundrel, you stole someone else's technique and still have the nerve to deny it. Senior, if you want the technique, I can teach you a better one... Senior, spare my life... Senior, spare my life..."

As he spoke, Song Ren saw Xiao Bei raise his hand again.

Clearly, his words had not sparked any interest in Xiao Bei.

Seeing the masked, robust man in black robes reach out toward him, Song Ren immediately turned and tried to move away.

Of course, Song Ren also had a backup plan.

As he moved, Song Ren threw a wooden box.

The wooden box, after being thrown by Song Ren, directly collided with Xiao Bei.

Then, with a "puff," the wooden box exploded into pieces.

However, after the box exploded, a pink smoke emerged from it... This smoke, visible to the naked eye, consisted of tiny particles.

When the particles dispersed in the air, they began to "hiss" and then turned into a gas, becoming so fine that they were no longer visible.

However, the smoke spread wider and wider!

Visibly, it spread wider and wider! The red smoke seemed to signify something.

Looking at the red smoke, something seemed to click in Xiao Bei's mind.

This is poison!

Poison that can counteract martial qi. The martial qi you use must exceed the speed at which this poison absorbs and assimilates your martial qi. Otherwise, this poison is hard to control and will wear down your martial qi, leaving you weak.

This kind of poison is very precious, extracted from a plant called "Toxic Leaf Grass."

While "Toxic Leaf Grass" is not as valuable as "Heavenly Spirit Flower," compared to ordinary herbs, it is still a top-tier herb.

Especially to extract this poison from "Toxic Leaf Grass," the venom of just one plant is not enough for purification. To make this poison, at least ten plants' venom is needed to have any effect... The poison in the small wooden box thrown by Song Ren required several "Toxic Leaf Grass" plants to have this effect!

This poison extracted from "Toxic Leaf Grass" is used directly on the hands during combat, taking advantage of its ability to weaken the opponent's martial qi, and then using a powerful move to kill the opponent.

"The Song family of Great Qin has quite a deep foundation, even having this poison extracted from 'Toxic Leaf Grass' as a protective treasure..." Xiao Bei thought, his eyes fixed on the fleeing Song Ren.

However, this was not the time to study the Song family's foundation.

The martial qi in Xiao Bei's palm had already gathered for long enough.

Moreover, Xiao Bei had predicted that some hidden Imperial-grade martial artists would have sensed the battle and might be heading this way.

Therefore, this battle needed to be quick, and then he would return to the Xiao family!

The red smoke had already spread to Xiao Bei's face.

Xiao Bei knew that this poison would not hinder him for long. If it were someone like He Lian or the recently deceased Song Qing, it would take a lot of effort to eliminate the poison.

Without any other action, Xiao Bei released martial qi from his entire body, forming a giant hand outside his body that completely enveloped the red smoke.

"Hisss..."

The red smoke was indeed highly toxic, and upon contact with Xiao Bei's martial qi, it began to corrode and resist.

Xiao Bei increased the output of his martial qi... Eventually, after a while, the red smoke was completely neutralized by Xiao Bei's martial qi.

However, Xiao Bei gained a deeper understanding of this poison extracted from "Toxic Leaf Grass." It took quite a bit of effort, and this poison had already consumed about one-fifth of the energy provided by the Starstone with each pulse!

"This poison is a very effective attack method. It's just that the amount is too small, so its effect is limited. If the amount were larger, it could be truly useful."

After a moment of reflection, Xiao Bei threw a burst of martial qi, which he had been gathering in his palm, directly at Song Ren's back, who had already moved far away in the blink of an eye.

The martial qi immediately transformed into a sword.

Of course, this martial qi sword, as it approached Song Ren, split into countless swords!

Amidst Song Ren's惨叫声，这些无数的拟化之剑直接将他击杀……没有留下任何痕迹！

看着宋仁被杀，萧北才猛然转身。

“何练，告诉我功法。”

另一边，何练也看得呆住了，随后，双眼乱转，道，“我可以告诉你功法，但是，我要活命。”

萧北蒙巾外露的双眼一寒，盯着何练道，“怎么，你要毁约？是吗？”

随着萧北这句话，萧北直接甩出一股武气……目标，正是先前萧北欲直接斩杀，但因宋仁等人到来而未能得手的何磋！

一掌出，武气到何磋近前。

何磋，脸色苍白中，被灭！死！

那临死前恐惧的惨叫，让在场的几个重新回来的何家之人，心中再次笼罩寒气……他们这才猛然惊醒，这个煞神，比刚才被灭杀的三个人还要残忍得多，刚才他帮助他们，是因为与何家老祖达成了约定，可不是心软所致，现在老祖毁约，那么，这个煞神，肯定要再次杀人！

血洗何家的事情，他肯定做得出来！

这个念头一冒出来，这几人不自觉地将目光放到了何家老祖何练的身上，那目光中，下意识地露出了让何家老祖你快安抚这个煞神的意味。

“何练，是保住功法，还是保住你们何家剩余的人，现在，这个选择，在你的手里，我刚才能对着宋仁他们三个说保住你们何家，也能在你面前，灭掉你们何家的族人，你信是不信？”

萧北看着何练眼中猩红之色越来越重，不由得将话说得加重了一些。

“我信……好，我告诉你功法，你保我何家剩余族人！”

半响后，何练大吼了一声道。

萧北感受了一番，凭借直觉，倒是知道这个何家老祖何练此刻已经没有说谎。

“不过，我可以放过你杀我族人之仇，告诉你功法，你就不能放过我吗？非要将我何家赶尽杀绝？我们之间，应该没有那么大的仇恨吧，再说你已经将何勇还有何川等人击杀，这仇恨，还化解不了？”

何家老祖何练，说了软话。

而地面上一直昏迷，现在刚醒过来不久的何硕，听到何家老祖何练的话后，顿时急了，咳嗽着道，“不能饶了这个人啊，他……咳咳……杀了何勇，他杀了何川，杀了何……”

“闭嘴！”

何练在空中狠狠地训斥了一番何硕，然后猩红色的眼中，露着希翼望着萧北化作的蒙面黑袍壮硕汉子。

“说功法。”

萧北对着何练道！没有丝毫商量的余地！

而这样的态势，当然是因为这个何家老祖何练，是背叛萧家之人……这样的人，萧北，岂能饶了他？

“好，你不仁我不义，不让我活，我……啊！”

何练刚想说狠话，却感到耳朵一疼。

手一摸，鲜血，沾满了手……原来，就在他的话还没说完的时候，他的耳朵，被他面前的萧北甩出的一道武气斩了下来！

“说，少受痛苦，不说……死之前，你会知道什么叫痛苦！”萧Bei stepped closer to He Lian, his feet hovering in the air.

He Lian was about to unleash his martial qi, preparing to fight to the death, even using self-destruction as a threat... but a more powerful martial qi had already completely enveloped him. This peak martial qi made He Lian realize that if he revealed the name of the cultivation technique, he could die more easily and still protect the remaining members of the He family. Otherwise, if he did not reveal the technique, he would likely suffer endless pain before dying!
