Zhao Lie took the wooden box and watched Su Xian's casual movements.
He could not help but freeze on the spot, his face filled with disbelief.
Even a Viscera Nourishing Realm expert could remember an entire complicated and profound cultivation technique after merely flipping through it once like this?
It was simply inconceivable!
"Could it be that our Blazing Sun Martial Arts School helped Brother Su Fan's family in the past?"
An absurd thought flashed through Zhao Lie's mind.
Otherwise, there was truly no way to explain why Su Xian would complete this deal so carelessly.
"Mm, that's enough." Su Xian smiled calmly and said no more.
"Brother Su truly is an extraordinary man... I find you increasingly unfathomable!" Zhao Lie shook his head, deeply moved.
The two exchanged insights into martial arts for a while longer, and before they knew it, noon was approaching.
Just as Su Xian and Zhao Lie were chatting happily,
a commotion suddenly broke out in the front courtyard of the martial arts school, mixed with arrogant shouts.
Zhao Lie's face instantly darkened like still water.
Seeing this, Su Xian asked, "Brother Zhao, has the martial arts school run into trouble?"
Zhao Lie snorted coldly, a chill flashing in his eyes. "It's the good-for-nothing son of the Black Tiger Gang's leader!"
"Relying on his father's power, he's come here again to indulge in wishful thinking, dreaming of forcibly marrying my daughter!"
"Hmph! It seems that old bastard saw my declining qi and blood and realized I have little lifespan left, so he sent this fool to test my limits again!"
"Does he really think I'm made of mud? If he truly pushes me too far—"
"Even if I have to burn away the last bit of my lifespan, I'll drag the Black Tiger Gang's leader to the underworld with me!"
Zhao Lie's fury surged, and a blazing, violent aura faintly seeped from his body!
Although he was only at the Initial Organ Nourishing Realm, while the Black Tiger Gang's leader had long since become a Peak Viscera Nourishing Realm expert,
the Blazing Sun Body Burning Secret Manual he cultivated concealed a forbidden secret technique!
By burning more than five years of lifespan, he could forcibly raise his cultivation to the Peak Viscera Nourishing Realm for a short period.
Although it could only last for an hour and came at a devastating price,
if his opponent bullied him too far, Zhao Lie would not hesitate to perish together with him!
At that time, even if he could not take his opponent down with him, he would certainly inflict severe damage,
allowing the Azure Cloud Medical Hall's master, who had always stood by and watched, to reap a huge benefit!
"Brother Su Fan, sit tight for a moment. I'll go deal with this fool who doesn't know how to die!"
Zhao Lie suddenly rose to his feet and was about to walk outside.
Su Xian merely shook his head slightly and stood as well. "Brother Zhao, wait. I'll go take a look too."
He was also quite interested in the Black Tiger Gang. After all, the Liu Family's Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain Map was one of his targets,
and sooner or later, he would have to face the Black Tiger Gang.
This was the perfect chance to take a look first.
Soon, the two passed through the corridor and arrived at the noisy front courtyard.
A man dressed in the attire of a Black Tiger Gang higher-up stood in the courtyard with his hands on his hips, looking arrogant and overbearing.
His eye sockets were sunken, his complexion bluish-white, and his lips dark. He looked as though wine and women had drained his body dry.
He was ordering the disciples of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School around:
"Hurry! Tell your master to come out and see me!"
"Your young master has come here under the orders of my father, the Black Tiger Gang's leader, to propose marriage! It's a joyous occasion of the greatest magnitude!"
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and bring him out!"
"To climb onto the lofty branch of my Black Tiger Gang, your ancestral graves must have smoke rising from them. It's a blessing you cultivated over ten lifetimes!"
"Once I marry your senior sister, you useless fools will all become my lucky junior brothers! Hahaha..."
After speaking, the man threw his head back and laughed loudly as though no one else existed. His voice was grating.
The Blazing Sun Martial Arts School disciples gathered in the courtyard glared furiously, their fists clenched and knuckles white.
If they had not feared his identity, they would have swarmed him long ago and beaten him until his teeth scattered across the ground.
Su Xian swept his gaze over the scene and immediately frowned.
Judging solely from the man's weak aura and sluggish qi and blood,
he could tell at a glance that the man's cultivation was merely clinging to the Muscle Forging Realm. His foundation had long since been hollowed out by wine and women.
If they truly fought, he probably could not even beat Cui Hao, who had reached Perfection in Skin Tempering Realm!
"The dignified son of the Black Tiger Gang's leader is actually this pathetic?"
Su Xian secretly shook his head, lowering his estimation of the Black Tiger Gang's caliber by several more notches.
"Get lost—!"
A furious shout exploded like thunder!
Zhao Lie's face was as cold as water, and the aura around him erupted with a thunderous boom, like a volcano suddenly awakening!
He stamped one foot down, instantly shattering the bluestone tiles beneath him. His entire body shot forward like an arrow released from its bow,
wrapped in a violent gale as he suddenly appeared before that young master of the Black Tiger Gang!
The arrogant young master felt only a blazing, savage pressure bearing down on him,
as though he had been targeted by an ancient ferocious beast. His soul nearly flew out of his body in terror.
He staggered backward several steps before dropping onto the ground with a thud. His urine and feces flowed freely, instantly soaking his crotch, and a strong stench of ammonia spread through the courtyard.
He stared in horror at Zhao Lie, whose beard and hair stood on end like an enraged Vajra Guardian. His entire body trembled like a sieve.
"Pfft..."
The surrounding martial arts school disciples could no longer hold back. They covered their mouths and snickered, their eyes filled with disdain.
Zhao Lie looked down at him from above, as though surveying an ant, his eyes filled with contempt and disgust.
"Get out of here at once! If you dare set foot in the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School again—"
His icy gaze swept over the man's lower body.
"I'll personally break your three legs! I'll make sure you can't be a man for the rest of your life!"
"Go back and tell your father! Tell him to give up while he can! Otherwise, even if this old life of mine is all I have left, I'll drag him along with me!"
The Black Tiger Gang's young master was already so frightened that his soul had left his body. How could he still dare show even the slightest trace of arrogance?
He crawled and rolled away, using both hands and feet,
fleeing through the gates of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School in a sorry state like a stray dog,
leaving behind only a scene of chaos and an unbearable stench.
Watching the man's disheveled back as he fled, Su Xian shook his head again.
He discovered that he had still overestimated the Black Tiger Gang's young master's bottom line,
for the man could actually be such an utter waste.
"Could it be... that the Black Tiger Gang's leader has so many sons that he can afford not to care about one fool like this?"
As Su Xian gazed at the vanishing figure, this question involuntarily rose in his heart.
Afterward, Cui Hao led people to clean up the courtyard.
Su Xian then chatted with Master Zhao Lie for a while,
and during the conversation, he also asked Master Zhao Lie about the Black Tiger Gang.
Zhao Lie answered everything.
According to Master Zhao Lie, the strongest person in the Black Tiger Gang was its leader, whose cultivation was at the Peak Viscera Nourishing Realm!
Below him were two hall masters!
They were rare Bone Tempering Realm martial artists in the surrounding counties!
Moreover, the Black Tiger Gang was connected to the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain, and members of the Demon Race frequently appeared among the Black Tiger Gang!
Upon hearing this, Su Xian's thoughts stirred. How are these the Demon Race? They're clearly walking sources of Demon Lifespan!
Afterward, Zhao Lie arranged a room for Su Xian inside the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School for him to stay in.
Once Su Xian entered the room, he drew a deep breath and plunged his mind into the Demon Strategy!
Looking at the fifth-grade cultivation technique, the Blazing Sun Body Burning Secret Manual, Su Xian's lips curled into a smile.
He had never expected to obtain this fifth-grade cultivation technique so easily!
"It's time to try breaking through my cultivation directly! Let's see just how far this Ice Muscle Jade Bone can raise my cultivation talent!" Su Xian muttered.
Then!
Demon Lifespan poured into the Blazing Sun Body Burning Secret Manual!
