Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 38: I've Seen Many Killings in Jianghu

When Chen Qing and Yu Qingshuang descended the mountain, the sky was still covered in dark clouds.

A day had passed, but the rain still hadn't fallen.

When they arrived at the mountain gate, they found that Gongsun Xiu was already waiting for them.

Gongsun Xiu burped, "Junior Brother Ye was worried about the two of you, so he asked me to look after you."

Chen Qing cupped his hands, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Yu Qingshuang was a little reluctant, but she still cupped her hands, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Gongsun Xiu smiled, "Qingshuang, a sword that has killed and a sword that hasn't are different."

"You were able to take more than fifty moves from me without leaving your room. You're already the best of Carefree Mountain's younger generation."

"The Mountain Lord has decided to pass the sword scripture to you."

Chen Qing asked, "What about me?"

Gongsun Xiu shook his head, "Junior Brother, you can't be too hasty. Teaching you now will only harm you."

After he finished speaking, he signaled Yu Qingshuang with his eyes.

Chen Qing understood a little of this logic.

For ordinary people, when they held a sword in their hands, their killing intent would rise.

Take Yu Qingshuang for example. Even if she'd practiced the sword in seclusion for more than ten years, she still wanted to go out and roam Jianghu.

If he taught her the sword scripture, she would basically be unstoppable.

After learning the sword scripture, her hands would probably be itchy and she'd want to find someone to kill.

But I, Chen Qing, am different!

I'm a steady person!

Night fell. The night came especially early because of the dark clouds covering the sun.

Zhang Yangdao walked alone on the streets of the market at the foot of the mountain. Today, the streets were especially quiet, not as lively as usual.

Of course, it was because of the rain, but more importantly, he had to give face to Carefree Mountain.

His many years of experience in Jianghu made him instinctively feel danger.

As he walked, a sky-blue butterfly appeared on his shoulder.

The butterfly's wings were mottled with tear stains, and its posture was light and cunning.

As the butterfly flapped its wings, rain began to fall around him.

He took a step forward, and the rain followed, covering a radius of ten feet.

Rain Butterfly, Summon Rain.

"It's a pity that the clouds are heavy and there is no rain. Otherwise, the area of my rain curtain would be even larger."

He continued forward. Bright yellow lanterns hung on both sides of the street.

In the middle of the street, there was a large black umbrella.

Feng Qi sat under the umbrella, lit up his pipe, and took a puff casually.

"Rain Gu, you are a cultivator from Lotus Flower Cave?"

Zhang Yangdao did not answer.

Feng Qi stretched out his hand, gesturing an invitation.

Zhang Yangdao looked at a stool ten meters away from Feng Shen. He slowly walked over and sat down. The curtain of rain followed him and covered the closed umbrella.

"I'm just one person. I didn't expect you to mobilize so many people."

The rainwater shrouded the area, and the rainwater told him the situation around him through his spiritual perception.

Feng Qi took a puff of his cigarette and took a sip of the hot tea beside him. "I have to be careful when dealing with seniors."

"This is my respect for Senior."

A hundred meters away, Chen Qing, who was sitting in a private room in Bright Moon Inn, asked: "Why didn't you attack directly?"

Gong Sun Xiu poured wine for the two, "That person has rain Gu, the area covered by the rain will greatly increase his perception. Moreover, he only has a rain Gu that can transform into a butterfly."

"Sneak attacks are useless."

"Furthermore, you have to remember one thing. That is, ascetic cultivators who travel outside will have a lot of Gu worms on them."

"The quality might not be high, but the quantity might exceed your imagination."

"With the accumulation of time and many years of experience in the pugilistic world, a person will become extremely strong."

Chen Qing thought to himself, was it a Gu worm obtained by killing and plundering while roaming the world?

During the arduous journey, one would not think too much about the future, nor would they care about the Gu worm's limited lifespan.

After all, every bit of strength they could gain was a bit more.

Every bit of strength they gained meant a higher chance of survival.

Yu Qing Shuang walked to the window, clearly in a daze after knowing the truth.

Chen Qing was paying attention to Feng Qi, probably trying to get information from him.

Feng Qi and Ye Yuntian were qi refinement stage nine, Feng Qiao was qi refinement stage eight, Ju Xiu was also qi refinement stage nine, there were more than ten qi refinement stage seven around them, they should be able to take him down easily.

Zhang Yangdao was clearly not afraid now, he spoke casually: "I only stayed in Carefree mountain for a day, are you going to kill me too?"

Feng Qi shouted: "Does Lotus Flower Cave really want to shed all pretense of cordiality?"

Zhang Yangdao laughed: "Lotus Flower Cave, what Lotus Flower Cave, I don't even know what Lotus Flower Cave is."

He stood up, unsheathing the sword at his waist, holding it horizontally in the rain.

"I have seen many killings in the pugilistic world."

"Many have done it too!"

"Why are there so many disputes?"

"Are you coming one by one, or together?"

Feng Qi suddenly stood up, smashing the teacup in his hand.

Fog rose from a dark alley, the fog passed through the rain and arrived instantly.

Gong Sun Xiu said: "Fog Gu's uniqueness allows Feng Qiao to isolate herself from the rain. However, we should not be able to take him down."

The fog passed through the rain like a ghost.

When it was less than five feet away from Zhang Yangdao, the fog suddenly gathered.

Feng Qiao revealed herself, stabbing at Zhang Yangdao with a cold sword.

As the sword approached Zhang Yangdao, sword energy surged out of Feng Qiao's body, causing the entire sword to shine with cold light.

Zhang Yangdao took a step and turned around, slashing with his sword.

He did not care about Feng Qiao's stab.

Instead, he swung his sword, wanting to cut off Feng Qiao's head.

Neither of them took half a step back, the killing intent in their swords was resolute, they did not show any signs of withdrawing their swords!

Feng Qiao's sword stabbed into Zhang Yangdao's chest, but it pierced into the fog.

Zhang Yangdao also had fog Gu!

Zhang Yangdao's sword slashed horizontally, and Feng Qiao's body also turned into a mass of fog.

The sword shadow disappeared in an instant, and the two clouds of fog crossed each other.

When they landed on the ground again, the two swords clashed fiercely!

Feng Qi didn't move at all. He just watched coldly from the side.

Chen Qing guessed that Ye Yuntian was probably observing the battlefield from somewhere.

Facing a cultivator like Zhang Yangdao who often traveled outside, they were especially cautious.

Gongsun Xiu raised his cup and took a sip. "He wants to escape."

Chen Qing came to the other side of Yu Qingshuang and put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Then he leaned against the window and looked at the battlefield.

Therefore, his threat was just a facade.

This battle had truly refreshed Chen Qing's understanding.

The two swords that Zhang Yangdao and Feng Qiao had exchanged just now were filled with killing intent!

It was too stunning!

It was the purest form of slaughter.

Gongsun Xiu put down his cup: "People who are truly prepared to fight to the death will not talk so much. Moreover, this is an experienced person."

Gongsun Xiu had just finished speaking when Chen Qing and the rest saw Zhang Yangdao step on the ground and fly up, jumping onto the bluestone wall of the alley.

Feng Qiao, who was probing Zhang Yangdao's strength, had her killing intent dissipated, her eyes were extremely clear.

It was only after Zhang Yangdao had leaped onto the wall that he reacted.
