Purple Mist Ruoxu Scripture

The sudden sound made Er Gou's heart clench, and he instinctively looked up.

He saw a person wearing a mask sitting there, unmoving despite the rain falling on them.

"You... Who are you?"

Er Gou hadn't expected to see another person when he woke up.

But he was cautious... His experiences didn't allow him to be anything but cautious.

Tang Xi was like a vengeful spirit that had crawled out of hell. Since meeting him, Er Gou's life seemed to be filled only with despair and hatred.

It was hard for him to believe that a kind person would suddenly jump out and help him.

"I am an assassin."

The person's answer tightened Er Gou's heart, as if a sharp knife was already aimed at his chest.

With just a thought, he could be killed by the other party.

But the next moment, his spirit lifted.

An assassin... Isn't it natural for an assassin to kill?

However, his lifted spirits seemed to be extinguished by the rain, and he gave a bitter laugh:

"I... I don't have any money."

But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at Chu Qing:

"But, if you can really help me kill him, I can give you my life!!"

After speaking, he nervously watched the person on the wall.

He didn't know if, after hearing this, the other party would turn around and leave, or if they would get angry and kill him on the spot.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like trying to get something for nothing.

Unexpectedly, the person suddenly laughed heartily, and then said in a deep voice:

"It's a deal!"

"What?"

Er Gou was stunned. He agreed?

"Tell me your address. After the deed is done, your life belongs to me.

"But before that, I need you to explain the entire sequence of events to me in detail!"

The rain was heavier than expected.

By the time Chu Qing returned to the inn, the outside was already murky from the downpour.

He asked the Shop Assistant for a bucket of hot water, took a good hot bath, and recalled what Er Gou had said.

The entire process was similar to Chu Qing's own deductions.

Er Gou said that Tang Xi was not acquainted with them initially, merely seeing them on the street. That same night, his fiancée was abducted.

He searched like a madman for several days, only to finally find the unrecognizable corpse at the town monument.

Filled with despair, he didn't know what to do.

He had intended to die with her, but... Tang Xi appeared.

Tang Xi told him how he had captured the girl and how she had died, recounting every detail clearly, which enraged Er Gou. He immediately wanted to rush up and seek revenge.

Unfortunately, he had no martial arts skills and gained nothing except being beaten up by Tang Xi.

But from that day on, he had one obsession: to kill Tang Xi!

He pursued him relentlessly, trying repeatedly, all the way until now.

Today's despair was too heavy, crushing him and making it hard to breathe. He had tried all sorts of methods, but none succeeded.

He was tired, he wanted to die... but Tang Xi appeared again.

Whenever he wanted to die, Tang Xi would show up and recount how he had persecuted the girl, as if listing precious possessions, thereby dispelling his suicidal thoughts and deepening his hatred even further.

"It's the Hate Heart Demonic Art..."

Chu Qing murmured softly, climbed out of the bathtub, changed into a set of clothes, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

With a thought, the system panel appeared.

[Assassin System]

[Host: Chu Qing]

[Current Commission: Assassinate Tang Xi, Young Master of Falling Rain Hall (Unfinished)]

[One unopened Martial Arts Treasure Chest, open?]

"Open."

Chu Qing rubbed his hands together and spoke softly.

He prayed in his heart for a good reward, otherwise the next target would likely be difficult to kill.

[Opening successful, obtained Internal Skill: Purple Mist Divine Skill!]

Chu Qing's eyes immediately lit up:

"Purple Mist Divine Skill!"

Of the Nine Skills of Mount Hua, Purple Mist is the first!

This is good!

At the same time, a surge of internal energy suddenly emerged from beside his dantian. Before Chu Qing could carefully sense it, the internal energy from the Ruoxu Scripture immediately pulsed, directly rushing towards the internal energy of the Purple Mist Divine Skill.

These two streams of internal energy suddenly started fighting within his body.

Chu Qing could testify that the Ruoxu Scripture made the first move, but the Purple Mist Divine Skill was not willing to show weakness.

This was by no means a small matter. Any change in internal energy could lead to minor injuries at best, and death at worst.

While circulating his internal energy, Chu Qing absorbed the various mantras of the Purple Mist Divine Skill into his mind, all while cursing inwardly.

"The Ruoxu Scripture is a Daoist martial art, and the Purple Mist Divine Skill is also a Daoist martial art.

"Can't two Daoist martial arts coexist peacefully?

"Why did they suddenly start fighting?

"They all say the orthodox Xuanmen is balanced and peaceful... this isn't very peaceful at all!"

He used his mind for three things at once, trying to calm the two streams of internal energy and make them stop fighting.

But it was useless. Then he started trying to merge the two streams of internal energy.

As soon as he started this attempt, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Purple Mist Divine Skill clashes with Ruoxu Scripture, Internal Skill fusion begins!]

As this prompt appeared, Chu Qing discovered that the two streams of internal energy, which were originally incompatible, suddenly showed signs of compatibility.

With a sudden inspiration, he sat cross-legged, his mind filled with the internal energy techniques of both the Purple Mist Divine Skill and the Ruoxu Scripture. At the same time, new mantras derived from the two emerged in his mind.

Within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the two streams of internal energy in his body were already intertwined.

[Fusion successful!]

Only then did Chu Qing finally breathe a sigh of relief, secretly庆幸 that he had been patient enough to wait until he was in the inn before opening the treasure chest.

If this had happened in the wilderness, in that short time, even a three-year-old child passing by could have taken his life.

He didn't open his eyes. There was still a large amount of internal energy in his body that needed to be consolidated. He guided the energy according to the mantras, letting it circulate along his meridians. Occasionally, his body would tremble, indicating that an acupuncture point had been cleared.

For a moment, Chu Qing, sitting cross-legged, had his clothes and hair fluttering without wind. A faint purple light appeared in the slits of his tightly closed eyes.

After more than an hour, Chu Qing suddenly opened his eyes. Two purple rays of light flashed and disappeared from his pupils, and the surging internal energy caused the bed curtains to vibrate.

The window was even pushed open with a crash.

As Chu Qing clasped his hands together and slowly pressed down, he consolidated all the internal energy into his dantian.

Only then did he let out a long breath, his eyes filled with joy:

"In just one hour, I've actually cleared the Ren and Du Meridians. If someone knew about this, wouldn't it be astonishing!?

"However, this internal skill, fused from the Ruoxu Scripture and the Purple Mist Divine Skill, has not yet reached its peak."

His joy slightly subsided, Chu Qing carefully sensed the differences between the two secret manuals and quickly gained understanding:

"Ultimately, the Purple Mist Divine Skill focuses on 'utilization' rather than 'accumulating internal energy'. What I obtained from the system should be the Great Perfection Purple Mist Divine Skill.

"After the fusion, relying on the internal energy from these two, this internal skill has been pushed to the seventh realm.

"From now on, utilization and accumulation are unified. Every movement has profound meaning.

"This martial art is not simply the Ruoxu Scripture, nor is it simply the Purple Mist Divine Skill.

"Let's call it the [Purple Mist Ruoxu Scripture]."

ps: I've been reading everyone's comments these past two days and know that you're eager for the protagonist to open the box and get rewards, but please don't rush... The plot arrangement is fine, and I'm not delaying opening the box. After all, I wrote the martial art inside the box a long time ago, there's no need to delay.

And from the protagonist's perspective, it's only been half a day since he got the reward.

He killed Xin Youhen in the afternoon, and then immediately went to kill Bai Qi.

Later, he met Er Gou back in the city, took on a new mission, and returned to the inn to open the box. It's all perfectly logical~

The reason you feel like it's dragging is mainly because the updates are too few. If I updated like when it was on the shelves, 10,000 words a day, I would have reached this point in two days.

This is the helplessness of the new book period, please be patient.

Thank you everyone~~~
