Alienated Martial Arts

In the dark wilderness, the cold wind howled by.

There was heavy snowfall, and the sky and the earth were completely white.

The two figures were intertwined and each staggered away.

Black sand and blood kept gushing out from his mouth and nose, looking as terrifying as a ghost.

He gasped for breath, narrowed his eyes and looked forward, looking for the strange young man.

After a few breaths, Heisha couldn't help but gasp, his eyes full of surprise and even an unspeakable fear.

Click!

Click, click, click!

Wei Tao slowly stood up from the snow.

He looked extremely miserable now.

The linen cloth used as clothing had long since disappeared, revealing the scarred body underneath.

The left leg was almost twisted into a twist, exposing the white bone stubble.

The chest, abdomen and arms were charred black, as if just a light touch would cause large pieces of debris to fall like soot.

In addition, there were deep wounds on both cheeks, and the gums inside could be clearly seen.

"You're injured like this, but you're not dead yet."

Heisha spoke, his voice no longer as cold and disdainful as before, sounding increasingly weak and hoarse.

Wei Tao tried to move his body, and with a slight movement, countless tiny debris scattered on the snow.

"The old gentleman is still alive, so naturally I can't die alone."

He swallowed a mouthful of blood and continued with a dull expression, "You are very strange. In other words, after a confrontation, everything here gave me a strange feeling."

The sound was mixed with the howling cold wind, sounding mechanical and dull, and seemed to have an abnormal sizzling noise.

"If we continue, we will definitely both suffer losses, and we will most likely die together in the wilderness on a snowy night."

Heisha took a deep breath of the cool air and slowly exhaled a stream of scarlet blood mist, "How about you and I each take a step back and call it a truce. Young man, what do you think of my proposal?"

"I think the old gentleman's proposal is very good."

"But before we really say goodbye and leave, can the old gentleman tell me what exactly is Ling Yuan?"

Wei Tao stood motionless. If he hadn't been making sounds, he would have seemed to have lost all life and turned into a cold corpse.

"Even Lingyuan doesn't know that he can force me to this extent. No one will believe it if I tell him about it."

Heisha sighed and looked straight ahead, as if there were ripples rising from the depths of his eyes.

The atmosphere also became a little depressing at this moment.

It wasn't until he let out a second sigh that the increasingly heavy atmosphere quietly broke.

"Everything in the world has spiritual veins in the body, just like the heaven and earth also have spiritual veins, just like any cultivation sect is all based on the spiritual veins of heaven and earth.

Even mortals and beasts have their own spiritual veins. They are just relatively thin, while those with deep spiritual veins can embark on the path of cultivation. "

"As for Lingyuan, it is the source of circulation in the spiritual veins. It is invisible and intangible, but it can be clearly perceived by truly intelligent beings, and it can absorb and transform it for its own use, so as to condense the spirit and produce spiritual consciousness. This step can be regarded as building a Taoist body, and it is also the watershed between monks and mortals..."

Wei Tao listened silently and suddenly asked, "Besides Lingyuan, are there any other cultivation systems?"

"Besides Lingyuan, other cultivation systems?"

Heisha suddenly laughed, "I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have heard such interesting words. If you go to tell stories under the overpass, you may be able to support yourself better than being a hunting farmer."

"It's just a pity. You shouldn't have given me enough time to restore my breathing."

Before he finished speaking, Heisha's body suddenly disappeared on the spot.

Suddenly an afterimage flashed past.

When he reappeared, he appeared behind Wei Tao with a sharp blast.

He opened his five fingers, and a pale flame ignited in his palm, like a ball of will-o'-the-wisp lightning falling down.

A chill suddenly spread out, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, making the already cold weather even worse.

The two figures separated as soon as they touched. Heisha staggered back a few steps, and his right chest was obviously collapsed, and it seemed that at least two ribs were missing.

There was also a fist-sized transparent wound on the upper shoulder, and a large amount of thick blood was gushing out from it.

Even the eyeball was missing, leaving only a dark hole filled with scarlet flesh and blood.

Wei Tao remained silent and casually threw away the pale bone stick in his hand, as if throwing away a piece of useless garbage.

"This didn't fool you. You actually still retain such terrifying mobility."

Kurosa's pupils shrank and he muttered to himself.

He stared closely at the figure standing up again not far away, his eyes falling on the other person's more twisted and broken body, and he could not suppress the feeling of fear in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has never encountered such an enemy.

He looked like he was going to die soon.

It was like a crumbling, dilapidated stone house that seemed to be about to collapse in the next moment.

It seems that just walking over and giving it a kick can turn it into a worthless ruin.

But when he actually kicked it up, he realized that instead of the house being destroyed, he was hit hard by the falling bricks and stones, which brought his already seriously injured body to the edge of collapse.

"Spiritual veins and spiritual energy can be absorbed and transformed into one's own use. The spirit can be condensed to produce spiritual consciousness, and then the physical body can be transformed to build a Taoist body. This is the path of cultivation that the old gentleman just told me."

Wei Tao moved his gaze away from his bones and looked up at the black and white sky, with an increasingly doubtful expression on his face.

"But I still feel that you are very strange. The dark and silent wilderness, the flying wind and snow, everything is very strange, and I can't figure it out even after thinking about it."

"You're the weird one, you're the one who makes me confused!"

"Even if I die, I will drag you into the ground!"

The black sand seemed to have fallen into madness, and the only remaining eye rippled again, as if it stirred up a huge wave, and then projected a hazy, fog-like chaotic light, shrouding the vast wind and snow in front of it.

Wei Tao couldn't help but narrow his eyes, suddenly falling into an unpredictable situation at this moment.

The dark wilderness, the vast white snow, and the black sand that he had just stepped forward to lift up his chest and split his shoulders were gone. Everything in sight was gray.

But that's not the point. What really puts pressure on him is the murderous intention hidden in the hazy gray mist.

It was as if he was in a hail of bullets, and his whole body was experiencing violent impact every moment.

Constantly squeezing and ravaging his broken body.

The extreme pain brings real feelings.

Wei Tao gradually calmed down, searching deeply for the source of his discomfort amidst the increasingly intense tearing pain.

Time passed little by little.

The two men stood silently in the darkness.

None of them moved, letting the white snow cover their bodies, and soon they seemed to have turned into two ice sculptures.

I don’t know how long it will take.

Maybe it's just a very brief moment.

A sudden muffled sound broke the deathly silence deep in the wilderness.

Black sand covered his remaining eyes, and dark red blood gurgled out from between his fingers.

He took two steps back, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. His body could not stop shaking violently, and he kept mumbling to himself.

"Fire, white fire, suddenly turned into gold and red again."

"A demon, a demon as high as a mountain."

"There is not just one of them, but there are many of them. The rotting corpses lurking in the depths of darkness are simply unimaginable and extremely terrifying."

"What are those, two scarlet suns, hanging high in the center of the dark void, still shining bloody light on my body.

No, this is not the sun, but a pair of eyes, bloody eyes rising from behind the corpses of those demons..."

The black sand looked like crazy, talking incoherently, and suddenly became silent without any warning.

He slowly lowered the arm covering his eyes, and the two bloody holes stared straight ahead, as if the scene he had just seen was frozen and magnified at this moment, allowing him to clearly see every detail.

"Those two bloody red suns are actually your eyes. It turns out that you are the strange monster!"

The black sand had a ferocious expression and howled miserably, drowning out the howling wind. .

Then there was another muffled bang.

His head suddenly exploded with a roar, and dark red blood, white bone fragments, mixed with pink brains scattered everywhere, covering the surrounding ground in an instant.

"I haven't felt enough pain. I didn't expect you to be dead."

"Death by blowing one's head off is a novel way of committing suicide that I have never seen before."

Not far away, Wei Tao closed his eyes, raised his hand to wipe away the stain on his lips, and fell into motionless contemplation again.

After a moment, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air that was full of blood, and a look of sudden realization flashed between his brows, "It turns out that this is the spiritual essence, the source of power that meanders in the spiritual veins."

"Now I only need a little help to truly grasp the true meaning of Lingyuan, and then I can practice and improve step by step."

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately moved his weak and exhausted body, came to Heisha's headless body, and began to carefully explore inside his clothes.

After a dozen breaths passed, Wei Tao looked disappointed. Apart from a black bone fragment in his hand, he had no other valuable gains, let alone a complete spiritual essence cultivation method.

However, anything that Heisha can carry with him will not be useless garbage.

He took a deep breath, quickly gathered all his thoughts, and focused on the bone fragments in his hands that seemed to be burnt.

Time passed little by little.

Even though Wei Tao made various efforts and kept concentrating his energy, he still achieved nothing.

"You don't have the same understanding and perception as before. Is this bone piece worthless?"

"No, based on my experience with Heisha, people like him will never carry useless things.

Therefore, the biggest possibility is not the bone fragments, but that I failed to grasp the essence of Lingyuan practice, so I was running around like a headless fly, but I was never able to break through the barrier in front of me. "

"There is still something wrong. In the final confrontation with Heisha just now, I was able to capture and sense the existence of the so-called spiritual essence. This shows that there is actually no problem with me."

"So where does the problem lie?"

After countless attempts without success, Wei Tao stared at the bone fragments and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Chi! ! !

Suddenly blood flew out and splashed all over the ground.

"It actually works."

"The intense pain brought me different feelings, and also allowed me to once again sense the existence and operation of the spiritual energy in the bone fragments."

"It's not very clear yet, which means the pain is not strong enough. More wounds need to be enlarged and torn apart to gain a deeper understanding of the movement of spiritual energy within the bone fragments."

Wei Tao's face was expressionless, while widening the healing wound on his body, he stared at the ink-colored bone fragment, with two groups of almost crazy scarlet appearing in the depths of his eyes.

Quietly, the illusory status bar appeared in front of me.

A new column finally appeared in the exercise interface.

"This is the spiritual cultivation path that I discovered by observing the bone fragments, so it is appropriate that there is no name for the technique."

Wei Tao thought for a moment and made an immediate decision, "In the realm of Taixu, if you practice Lingyuan, then this method can be called the Spirit of Taixu."

Uh-huh! ! !

The status bar suddenly becomes blurry.

When it became clear again, the description of Taixu Spirit was already displayed.

Name: Spirit of Taixu.

Progress: 10 percent.

Status: Beginner.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to increase the progress of Taixu Spirit's cultivation."

Wei Tao didn't hesitate much and directly chose yes.

Uh-huh...

The mysterious atmosphere came quietly.

Like a trickling stream, it sinks into the body silently.

Almost at the same time, changes began unconsciously.

Wei Tao suddenly slapped his chest and abdomen with his palm, and then held his breath and concentrated on the perception.

As time went by, two double images seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and his vision became hazy.

Nearby is a dark wilderness with heavy snow.

And the void quietly rippled, like ripples in water extending forward.

In the distance there was chaos.

There seems to be a faint light shining inside, but it is difficult to see clearly.

Time passed quietly.

Finally, amidst the howling of the biting cold wind, the ascension of the Taixu Spirit was announced to be completed.

From 10% progress to 20% getting better.

Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes, silently stared at the skill interface, and put in the second gold coin without hesitation.

In the next period of time, the gold coins disappeared one by one, and the mysterious aura became stronger and stronger and entered the body, continuously leading the Taixu Spirit's practice deeper.

From twenty to thirty, and then to forty or fifty, the path has been climbing rapidly towards a higher level.

………………

"This is where you fought with Black Sand?"

The group of people entered the abandoned village and soon came to the dilapidated stone house that was on the verge of collapse.

Several attendants quickly separated, each occupying key positions in the surrounding area, and carefully observed.

Two more people stepped forward and opened the door, revealing bloodstains all over the floor and a stiff corpse with a distorted face.

The white wolf who was missing an arm looked bleak and said cautiously, "When we return to Mr. Mo, I and a few companions followed him all the way and blocked Heisha's path here."

The young man in white didn't say anything and entered the house to observe carefully.

Time passed little by little.

The white wolf's expression also became more frightened.

She didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only observe Mr. Mo's movements with her peripheral vision, waiting in fear for his response.

Finally, he stood up slowly from beside a corpse and spoke gently with a smile on his face.

"Although you are weak enough and have not understood the true meaning of Ling Yuan at all, your sense of smell and judgment are only so-so. And you can escape such a long distance in the middle of the night, so you have not insulted the nickname of the Four Wolves."

"Thank you so much for your appreciation. I will be willing to serve as a hunting dog for you and help you for the rest of my life..."

Bai Lang's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

But at the next moment, a cold star flashed quietly.

Her voice stopped abruptly.

The eyes that he raised with difficulty were filled with extreme doubts and fear, as if he didn't believe what was happening.

The blood slipped quietly and soon formed a small pool of blood underneath him.

With a soft popping sound, Bai Lang fell softly to the ground, his lips still moving, and he didn't know what he was struggling to say.

"Now that I have found traces of the black sand and allowed me to sense the spiritual energy breath he left behind, she is of no use."

Mr. Mo took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on his fingertips, "Let her die together with her companions, which will end their friendship with the Four Wolves of Xiaoshan Mountain. It is also a thoughtful gift I gave her to express my gratitude." ."

As he spoke, he walked out of the dilapidated stone house.

After closing his eyes for a moment, he raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction, "Heisha is right in front, and he is seriously injured. There is no way he can escape from my grasp."

Speaking of this, Mr. Mo showed a distorted smile on his face, "When I think of being able to enter the spiritual spring to practice, and then get Miss Qiu's fairy body to carve, my heart can't help but feel hot, even the overwhelming wind and snow in the sky. It cannot be extinguished.”

Uh-huh...

A cold wind blew by, blowing up a large pile of snow.

Mr. Mo has disappeared in front of the stone house.

An hour later.

He stopped on the bank of a frozen river and looked at the jungle ahead, the smile on his face becoming more ferocious.

"Heisha's spiritual energy is becoming clearer and clearer. He should be hiding in the forest to heal his wounds, and then start to escape after recovering."

"If it were the old black sand monster in its prime state, I would stay away from him and not confront him head-on. But since the old monster is seriously injured and dying, I can only obediently become my stepping stone and help me..."

"kindness!?"

"The breath of black sand suddenly disappeared."

"what is that!?"

"What happened in the forest ahead!?"

Mr. Mo narrowed his eyes suddenly, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

An almost fantastical scene is reflected inside.

boom! ! !

It was like a giant airburst bomb exploding above the jungle.

In an instant, the wind and snow forced away, forming a large cavity.

Shockwaves followed.

It even caused small earthquakes.

The snow and slush are mixed together, just like the violent rolling of waves.

With that jungle as the center, waves surged in all directions.

"It turned out to be spiritual pressure, almost explosive level of spiritual pressure!"

Mr. Mo struggled to steady his body, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by extreme surprise and confusion, with uncontrollable fear mixed in.

boom! ! !

There was another thunderous explosion.

There was also an almost crazy roar, which came together with the rumbling thunder.

"My bone fragments are broken!"

"Only pain is real. If it doesn't hurt enough, it still doesn't hurt enough!"

puff!

Mr. Mo was hit by a big rock and rolled backwards.

Blood spilled all over the floor, and the fear in his heart reached its peak.

But in the midst of extreme fear, that voice seemed to be like a curse, lingering and reverberating in his mind, occupying almost all his conscious thoughts.

"Only pain is real. There are countless Lingyuan monks in the world, but I have found a true fellow disciple!"

"But who is he? Why is he so strong? He is so strong that even from such a long distance, he can hardly resist me with just his spiritual pressure!"

boom! ! !

The terrifying shock wave struck again.

It slammed into his body, causing tearing pain everywhere.

Mr. Mo seemed unaware of this, and completely fell into madness.

Until his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground, and was buried deeply by a large amount of dirty snow.
