Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 29: Wei Su's interception, the loss of the qin's strings

Chen Kuang gradually calmed down, his body emanating a strong smell of alcohol, like a waterfall turning into white mist and spreading in all directions.

His back was already soaked with sweat, and the overflowing spiritual energy in his body had returned to normal levels. If it weren't for the warm and comforting feeling in his stomach, his cultivation level would have dropped back to the Nine Apertures Opened state.

But even so, this level of cultivation couldn't be sustained for long.

Once the alcohol from the Daoist Wine gradually evaporated, his strength would also gradually decline.

Therefore, a quick and decisive battle was the best choice.

A single strike to kill an Innate.

It seemed powerful, but Chen Kuang knew that luck and calculation played a bigger role.

The Innate Realm can be divided into three levels: lower, middle, and upper. The lower level is Yuan Jin, the middle level is He Jin, and the upper level is Xu Jin. They are all states of the Primordial Origin Qi.

Yuan Jin means endless vitality. Of course, this doesn't mean becoming a perpetual motion machine, but rather that every time a strand of spiritual energy is used, it will spontaneously replenish itself without the need for deliberate meditation and cultivation.

Therefore, during battle, the spiritual energy almost flows continuously.

If the gap in cultivation level between the two sides is not too large, it would be a great advantage.

He Jin refers to the concentration of spiritual energy into a single beam, like a tide turning into a river. When cultivating and releasing power, it is like breaking a dam, with the energy rushing out like a torrent.

As for Xu Jin, the spiritual energy no longer gathers in the acupoints but becomes ethereal, integrating into every part of the body. With a wave of the hand or a step, the spiritual energy is emitted by intention and is no longer restricted by the acupoints.

The gap between Yuan Jin and He Jin is not insurmountable.

The black-armored guard just now was at the Yuan Jin level.

Chen Kuang, this fake Innate, had barely reached the Yuan Jin level.

But he took the initiative, with the enemy unaware and him using the Heavenly Demon's Law to disturb the opponent's mind, delaying time to successfully accumulate the triple power of the White Lotus Supports Life, and then unleashed this full-force strike.

Moreover, he used the qin first and then the palm, in order to make the opponent concentrate on defending against the sound attack, and then unexpectedly attacked with his palm.

This contrast was no less than a sudden transformation from a mage to a warrior, enough to add another layer of surprise to the opponent.

The most important thing was that he discovered for the first time that "Insightful Gaze" had another use in battle.

This passive ability to see through all illusions and disguises could also perceive the opponent's deliberately hidden weaknesses and vulnerabilities!

The palm strike Chen Kuang just made was aimed directly at the opponent's vulnerability.

Therefore, it can be said that this strike was stacked with buffs. In any other situation, he would not be able to achieve this.

However, there were still eighteen black-armored guards of the same level, or even stronger...

He had to hurry.

Fortunately, the corner tower where the Heavenly Prison was located was not far from the outer city.

Breaking through this difficult obstacle at this moment was like seeing the dawn.

Chen Kuang turned around and called Chu Wenruo. After calculating the distance, he decided not to save his spiritual energy anymore. He immediately activated his cultivation and led the mother and daughter towards the city gate at a rapid pace.

Along the way, they encountered soldiers of all levels of cultivation, and Chen Kuang killed them all without hesitation. With each pluck of the strings, there was a life taken with a single strike.

Chen Kuang's momentum grew stronger and stronger, rising steadily like a drawn sword or a fierce tiger. Just one glance at him would make one feel an uncomfortable sensation on the scalp.

Killing people was like cutting grass.

With each death, the killing intent grew stronger, and oneself grew stronger.

That sword he visualized in his mind was finally nourished and radiated a dazzling brilliance and an overwhelming evil aura.

It was restless, as if it had gained life.

Grass Cutter Song...

"Killing people is like cutting grass, between life and death, with a single breath. A living sword needs dead people, killing others is also killing myself..."

Chen Kuang murmured subconsciously.

He looked up, and the tightly closed East City Gate was right in front of him. As long as he shattered that gate...

There would be practitioners from the Liang Kingdom coming to support him.

Chu Wenruo exclaimed, "There are people on the city wall!"

Chen Kuang naturally saw it too.

A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament stood on the city wall, slowly waving an empty folding fan in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips.

It seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

The person who came was naturally Wei Su.

The son of the Sect Master of the Three Tribulations Sect, a practitioner at the Sea Opening Realm.

Wei Su looked down, met Chen Kuang's gaze, and ink marks appeared on the folding fan, forming a messy pattern.

"Do you know that you could have exchanged a life for the Elixir of Immortality?"

He looked at Chu Wenruo and praised, "I have heard that the Liang Kingdom's Queen is stunningly beautiful, and today, seeing you in person, it is indeed well-deserved."

Then, his tone turned cold, "But... a gentle homeland is a hero's grave."

Chen Kuang's gaze flickered.

It seemed that this person was Wei Su. Since his plan to sow discord had almost succeeded, it meant that the other party had probably guessed that Li Hongling thought the Elixir of Immortality was with him.

Now, coming at this time, it's hard to say what the purpose is...

Chen Kuang sneered, "General Li said that once seven days pass, regardless of whether I speak or not, I will undoubtedly die. It seems that he doesn't see me as a human being."

"A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. With this attitude, even if I die, I won't hand over the elixir of immortality."

He paused and continued, "If Immortal Master Shen can save my life and help me leave the city..."

Wei Su shook his fan, sighed, and said,

"If you had said this a few days ago, maybe I would have believed you. But now that I think about it, since you had the courage to negotiate with Li Hongling, why would you be afraid of death?"

"Moreover..."

Wei Su's gaze shifted and landed on Chen Kuang's legs.

"I heard that Li Hongling broke both of your legs."

"Now... how are they suddenly fine?"

Chen Kuang remained calm and said, "If I were to say that Immortal Master Shen, out of kindness, took pity on me and healed me, would you believe it?"

Wei Su closed his fan and laughed,

"I believe it. Why wouldn't I believe it?"

He suddenly disappeared from his original position, and his voice appeared behind Chen Kuang, hissing like a cold and venomous snake.

The ink on the fan changed,

Transforming into several... strings of a qin.

"After I beat you half to death, we'll see how your legs are really doing. I'll believe anything you say!"

Wei Su reached out and placed his hand on Chen Kuang's shoulder. The overwhelming spiritual energy was unstoppable, instantly tearing through flesh and bone.

Chen Kuang hurriedly reached out to pluck the strings, but found that they had disappeared.

The surface of the qin's soundboard was empty.

There was nothing.

The technique of stealing the day and changing it to night!

Chen Kuang's heart sank, instantly realizing that this was the power that completely erased the concept of the elixir of immortality.

The cultivation gap spanning three major realms, truly overwhelming!

"Crack!"

After a moment of hesitation, Wei Su gently twisted his hand, directly tearing off Chen Kuang's arm.

Chen Kuang broke out in a cold sweat.

The white-clad scholar smiled faintly,

"I deliberately found your former colleagues, the few surviving musicians, and proved that you were really blind."

"But your eyes seem to be fine now."

"In this world, only life and death cannot be reversed, unless... you have consumed the elixir of immortality."

He saw Chen Kuang's shocked pupils and revealed an expression of joy.

In the end, his Three Tribulations Sect had won!

In the distance, a hoarse female voice spread throughout the entire imperial city with the help of spiritual energy.

"Today, since the heroes have gathered, I will send the Great Liang God of Slaughter on his way in front of all the esteemed figures of Liang Kingdom... as a show of respect."

...

On the city wall, Li Hongling walked up to Huo Hengxuan, who was forced to kneel, raised her long halberd, and said coldly,

"From now on, Liang Kingdom will truly become dust in history!"

"Watch closely, this world belongs to whom."

She took a deep breath, and her giant star, the Abyss of Sinking, spun around. Then, she raised it high and swung it down towards Huo Hengxuan's head!

"Bang!"

The heavy halberd suddenly stopped in mid-air.

There was no sound of the blade cutting through flesh, but instead, it was stuck on something.

Lifting it up, inch by inch, slowly.

Li Hongling's pupils contracted, the veins in her hand bulged, and her muscles tensed, but she couldn't stop the upward momentum of the halberd.

The severed hands of the old man had regenerated, and two white jade-like hands had grown back.

With one hand holding the halberd, the other swept across, gripping the necks of two black-armored guards who were trying to restrain him, and pinning them under his armpits.

The immense power instantly crushed the guards' heads, turning everything above their necks into a mess.

Huo Hengxuan slowly stood up, his whole body shimmering with golden light. Amidst the crackling sounds, golden needles darted around as the restrictions on his body were lifted one by one.

He grinned and finally straightened his body.

"Say it again... who does this world belong to?"

It's already past midnight, but yesterday my cat pooped all over the house, running around and leaving cat poop all over the floor. I accidentally stepped on it... the moment when an adult breaks down.
