Six months later.
Qu Qingsheng sat cross-legged inside the cave, suddenly mastering the Northern Darkness Divine Art to the third level. He slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and grinned maliciously, "It's time to make our move!"
After absorbing all the poisons, Li Wuyai's true energy subsided, and his strength had reached the level of a second-rate master. However, it was still too difficult for him to defeat Qu Qingsheng.
Qu Qingsheng's strength is estimated to be around two hundred years of Inner Force, First-Rate Peak expert. The only way to keep him occupied is to use the Northern Darkness Divine Art to slow him down and have him cultivate like crazy!
Qu Qingsheng slowly appeared behind Li Wuyai and said with a smile, "I have already mastered the third level. Please give me the fourth level, Brother Li!"
Li Wuyai was startled upon hearing this. He hadn't even noticed when Qu Qingsheng had appeared behind him. He looked at Qu Qingsheng with apprehension, took out a fragment of the fourth level of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, handed it to Qu Qingsheng, and said with a smile, "This is the fourth level! Brother Qu, you can practice it slowly!"
After obtaining the incomplete scroll of the fourth level of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, Qu Qingsheng said with a faint smile, "Brother Li! Would you like to come with me somewhere?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai gave him a serious look. "I'm quite content here and don't want to go anywhere. Brother Qu! I'm afraid I cannot comply!"
Qu Qingsheng smiled slightly upon hearing this, patted Li Wuyai's shoulder, and squeezed it a little harder. "Brother Li! This is not up to you!"
Li Wuyai looked at him cautiously and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qu! What do you mean? You don't want the subsequent cultivation techniques?"
Qu Qingsheng slowly released his hand and chuckled, "I want it! But you have to come with me to a place!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "What if I don't go with you?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Qingsheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he laughed, "Die!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai's pupils constricted slightly. "Brother Qu! Must you do this? Do you know that the cultivation technique is still in my hands!"
Qu Qingsheng said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Go or die!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself, "Where exactly does he want to take me? Does he not want the rest of the cultivation technique? With such a divine skill as a lure, he can't possibly give up halfway. I should still be of use to him now. Fine! I'll go with him and see!"
Then Li Wuyai slowly said, "Alright! Since Brother Qu is so insistent, I will risk my life to accompany you on this journey!"
"Hahaha! Good, good, good!" Li Wuyai laughed loudly upon hearing this, and patted Li Wuyai on the shoulder.
In a desolate forest, there is a unique little house, with all sorts of herbs and strange animal carcasses scattered around it.
There were also some unidentified internal organs hanging outside the house, attracting a swarm of flies that were biting them, making it look extremely horrifying!
Inside the room, pieces of human skin faces hung on the walls. It was pitch black all around, with only an old man in black sitting in a chair, next to him a dim oil lamp.
The old man looked extremely ferocious. His eyes were uneven, one above the other, and his left eye was almost bulging out. He had only a few tufts of hair on his head, and he had a harelip and buck teeth on his chin. His whole face looked extremely terrifying and horrifying.
At this moment, he was reading a black book. After reading for a while, he slowly put it down, drew a dagger from his waist, and hesitated for a moment, as if he was struggling with his inner thoughts.
Thump! Thump!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Ghost Doctor! Are you there?"
The old man was startled by the knocking. He put down his dagger, let out a slow sigh, and shouted, "Who is it?"
"It's me! Qu Qingsheng!"
The Ghost Doctor frowned upon hearing this. "Young Qu! It's you! Didn't I tell you not to come again?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Qingsheng slowly said, "I'm sorry, Ghost Doctor! I do have something to discuss with you! Could you open the door and let me in to talk in detail?"
The Ghost Doctor sighed upon hearing this and slowly opened the door. "Speak! What is it?"
Suddenly, Qu Qingsheng made a move, striking out with a hand chop towards Li Wuyai's shoulder, where he was about to Fainting Point. The speed was extremely fast and it caught everyone off guard!
Li Wuyai was prepared, but the distance was too close, and his strength was insufficient. He didn't have time to counterattack before being struck in the shoulder, Fainting Point that would cause him to lose consciousness. Before passing out, he said, "You...!"
After saying that, he fainted and collapsed to the ground, startling the Ghost Doctor standing nearby. "Young Master Qu! What are you doing?"
Qu Qingsheng smiled slightly upon hearing this, and slowly took out a few bright red leaves from his pocket, handing them to the Ghost Doctor. "I would like to ask you for a favor! I wonder if this reward is satisfactory?"
The Ghost Doctor examined the bright red leaves and exclaimed in surprise, "These are the leaves of the Blood Spirit Fruit! They're a treasure for replenishing blood and qi!"
Qu Qingsheng nodded upon hearing this, "The Ghost Doctor has a good eye! How about the reward?"
The Ghost Doctor nodded upon hearing this. "What do you want me to do?"
Qu Qingsheng whispered a few words in the Ghost Doctor's ear. After hearing this, the Ghost Doctor gave him a deep look and said greedily, "That's fine! But I want a Blood Spirit Fruit!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Qingsheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he laughed, "Alright! I agree!"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Doctor burst into laughter, "Alright! Now that the deal is done, move this guy inside!"
Shaolin Temple.
For the past six months, Li Changfeng had been living peacefully, learning the self-created martial arts techniques of the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon and the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, Subduing Tiger Coiling Dragon Staff and the Subduing Dragon Demon Quelling Staff.
It was clear that Li Changfeng had only managed to learn the basics in the past six months, and if he wanted to improve in a short period of time, he would have to rely on the system or fight against experts.
The Hall Master of Subduing Tiger said in a stern voice with a stern face, "Jue Kong brat! Come and use the Subduing Tiger Coiling Dragon Staff to attack me. Let's see just how far you've progressed!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded solemnly and shouted, "Master! Take this blow!"
Li Changfeng unleashed his full power of true energy and suddenly used the first move of the [Subduing Tiger Coiling Dragon Staff], "Striking the Knocking Mountain Shocking Tiger." Veins bulged on Li Changfeng's hands, and bursts of violent and fierce true energy condensed in the staff. He leaped into the air and suddenly chopped down from a great height.
Suddenly, a golden staff shadow, fifty feet long, was unleashed with the force of splitting mountains and rivers. It slashed fiercely towards the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger. The force was extremely heavy, and wherever it passed, things exploded and twisted, with bursts of air explosions. Its power was terrifying!
"Boom"!
Even before Li Changfeng's staff arrived, an immensely heavy pressure descended upon the leader of the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger. The leader nodded in satisfaction, "Impressive aura! Astounding strength! Perfect for someone as brute as you!"
Just as the stick was about to strike the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger suddenly made a move. His palm suddenly rose upwards with great speed, turning into a blur in the air, and he caught Li Changfeng's fierce stick!
Then, with a sudden tug, he pulled him aside, stick and all, and slammed him to the ground. Such a terrifying blow was easily neutralized by the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger, demonstrating unimaginable strength!
