It was too late for Qin Tiexin to completely dodge. He turned sideways at the last moment to avoid the vital points of his chest and abdomen, but Blazing Mountain Bear's huge body still pressed half of his body. Click - at least two ribs were broken, a fishy sweetness burst through his throat, and blood spurted out from his mouth and splashed on the gravel ground, which was shocking.
Blazing Mountain Bear rolled over from the ground, with a cruel light shining in its dark yellow eyes. It did not give Qin Tiexin a chance to breathe. It raised its right palm high again and patted the target who was vomiting blood on the ground, intending to completely beat this human who had hurt his internal organs into a pulp.
This palm fell, but it failed to hit the target.
Qin Tiexin At the moment when the bear's paw was about to fall, his feet plunged into the ground and the pile technique started. His feet seemed to have taken root and were deeply embedded in the hard soil under the gravel. His whole aura changed drastically in an instant - he entered the "Primordial Unity State" of the pile technique.
His muscles were tense to the extreme in an instant, and every muscle fiber was trembling crazily, and the bones all over his body made intensive explosions. The blood rushed through his blood vessels at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, making a faint gurgling sound, as if there was a river rushing in his body. The pores all over his body opened, Qi and Blood The steaming white mist rose from the surface of his body, shrouding his whole body in a layer of faint blood mist. His eyes turned red, and the giant palm photographed by Blazing Mountain Bear was reflected in his pupils. There was no fear, only a monstrous fighting spirit.
Primordial Unity State--This is the ultimate mental method of Primordial Unity Stance Fist. It condenses all the Qi and Blood, strength and will of the whole body into one point, and in an instant bursts out power far beyond its own limit.
He kicked off his legs, his whole body bounced off the ground, and punched out with both fists. Primordial Unity Stance Fist's punching intention reached its peak at this moment, and the two solid fist shadows overlapped, and with all his Qi and Blood and strength, they collided head-on with the palms shot by Blazing Mountain Bear.
Fists collided.
A loud bang that was more violent than any before exploded. The air waves generated by the impact swept out in all directions with one person and one bear as the center. The gravel within a radius of ten feet was shaken into the air. Blazing Mountain Bear Posted Letting out an incredible roar, its two-foot-tall body was knocked off the ground by the force of the punch. It flew backwards, drew an arc in the air, and crashed onto the ground five feet away. The gravel splashed everywhere, and a big crater was made in the ground.
Qin Tiexin's feet were still nailed to the spot, and his whole body was motionless, but his fists were dripping with blood. The skin on the fists was completely open, revealing the flesh and blood underneath. The phalanges were faintly visible, and blood dripped down his fingers. There was a slight ticking sound on the gravel ground. All the muscles in his body were shaking violently in the backlash after the end of Primordial Unity State, and there was a heartbreaking pain from the broken bones in his chest, but his eyes were still fixed on the bear.
Blazing Mountain Bear climbed up from the pit. There were two bloody fist marks on its palms. The bones were clearly visible, and its two front legs were trembling slightly. Its dark yellow eyes looked at the human who was covered in blood mist and whose fists were dripping with blood but still stood upright. The previous violence and fierceness disappeared, replaced by an emotion it had rarely experienced in its life - fear.
It turned and ran away.
Stomping on the ground with four palms, it ran wildly into the depths of the jungle. It ran without any plan, and no longer had the calmness and caution it had before. Only the most primitive survival instinct drove it away from the human who had blasted it away with its fists.
Qin Tiexin took a deep breath. The severe pain in his chest blurred his vision for a moment. But he bit the tip of his tongue and used the sting to force himself to stay awake. He activated the sharp golden intention under his feet - Metal Phase Steps, the fastest move among Five Phases Steps, focusing all his power on pure speed.
His whole body turned into an afterimage, and he caught up behind Blazing Mountain Bear in three steps.
Blazing Mountain Bear sensed the murderous intention behind him, turned around and counterattacked, and swept forward with his giant palm. Qin Tiexin stature was short, slipped under the bear's paw, and burrowed close to the ground. After arriving behind the bear, he used the momentum to turn over and jump up, raising his right fist high above his head. Vajra Hammer Fist's fist shadow condensed into a deep and restrained light - all the power was compressed to a point.
He punched Blazing Mountain Bear on the back of the head.
The power of the fist penetrated into the bones. Blazing Mountain Bear's roar stopped abruptly, and the huge body fell to the ground while maintaining a forward posture. His limbs twitched twice, the light in the dark yellow eyes slowly dissipated, and he could no longer stand up.
Qin Tiexin fell next to the bear corpse and staggered a step before barely standing still. His chest heaved violently, his left arm was still hanging by his side, his right fist was dripping with blood, and every breath on the broken bone in his chest felt like a knife was cutting. But the corners of his mouth slowly curved, which was a kind of comfort and satisfaction that had been suppressed for a long time and was finally released.
From the time he entered Wind and Snow Pass to now, he has rarely had the opportunity to fight a truly powerful Demon Beast with his fists like he did just now. This battle was fierce and exciting, and it brought out the bloody spirit in his bones that refuses to admit defeat.
Duan Xuan walked quickly from the dead tree, her eyes first stayed on the injury on his chest for a moment, and then fell on his bloody hands, frowning slightly. She didn't say anything more, she just knelt down and looked at the bear's head. "The back of the skull is broken, the punch was heavy enough." She stood up and glanced at the four bear paws of the bear, "Four bear paws, I will make soup for you tonight to replenish Qi and Blood."
Qin Tiexin put the bear corpse into Storage Bag, briefly bandaged the wounds on his body, and swallowed a healing elixir.
After about a stick of incense, Qin Tiexin's injuries were no longer serious. They were mostly skin injuries and no internal organs were injured. The Healing Pill medicine given by Li Yun was indeed very effective.
Qin Tiexin and Duan Xuan walked deep into the forest along the tracks left by the bears. Blazing Mountain Bear weighed more than 10,000 kilograms, and each step made deep holes in the soft forest floor. This trail hardly required any special effort. The two walked along the tracks for about an incense stick, and came to a semi-natural cave.
The entrance of the cave is not big, about one foot high and less than two feet wide. Most of it is blocked by a skewed boulder, leaving only a narrow gap on the side. Looking through the narrow gap, the cave is dry and spacious, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of withered grass and broken leaves. It is obviously a den that the bear has built for himself. Qin Tiexin squeezed sideways through the narrow gap, followed closely by Duan Xuan.
The light in the cave was dim, but Qin Tiexin still saw the half-broken clay pot in the corner at a glance. The clay pot fell to the ground, with a big hole in the mouth, and a small pool of dark golden thick liquid flowed from it, exuding a sweet and slightly spicy smell in the dry air. Duan Xuan squatted down, put a little bit on his tongue with his finger and tasted it. His eyes immediately lit up. "Golden Needle Bee's honey. It's a good thing for quenching Blood Refining liquid. This small jar can be exchanged for one Middle-Grade Law Artifact."
There was still half a jar left in the clay pot, so the two of them carefully put the honey into jade bottles and put them away separately.
Qin Tiexin continued walking deeper into the cave. There was a sunken stone crevice in the deepest part of the cave. There were a few pieces of hay and broken bones piled in the crevice, which was probably where the bear usually slept. There was a faint light flashing at the edge of the stone crevice.
The two took a closer look and found that it was indeed a Jade Slip. Although it did not have much spiritual power, it was still intact. The surface was covered with dried mud and bear hair. Qin Tiexin took out the Jade Slip, wiped the surface clean, and put it on his forehead.
His breathing suddenly paused.
There are four words "Heavy Mountain Saber Technique" written inside Jade Slip!
Found it. This is the martial skill he most wanted to find when he came to the Iron Spine Sect secret realm, besides Qi and Blood Realm Cultivation Method. It was also the first martial skill he learned.
He had only learned the first three moves of this sword technique in the Flowing Cloud Sect - Bear the Mountain, Suppress the Mountain, Mountain Shattering, and he had already practiced it to the point where he could retract and deploy it freely. But this Jade Slip, in addition to the three styles he is familiar with, there are also the fourth style "Sever the Mountain", the fifth style "Shatter the Mountain", and the sixth style "Heavy Mountain Returns to the Origin", which is a complete set of martial arts.
After the six postures, Jade Slip also has a large paragraph of variations and experiences compiled by the Iron Spine Sect disciples at the end, from the most basic posture of holding the knife to the force exertion skills, center of gravity transformation, and coordination of energy and strength of each posture. The records are extremely detailed. The last few lines are particularly deeply engraved:
"After the six postures, you are not limited to the postures. The sword is the person, and the person is the sword. Zhongyue is a sword, but Zhongyue is not a sword."
He read the content of Jade Slip from beginning to end again, put down Jade Slip, and said to Duan Xuan, "This is the complete "Heavy Mountain Saber Technique", it is useful to me."
"Have you studied before?"
"I have learned the first three movements. This is the complete version, including all six movements." Qin Tiexin handed Jade Slip to her.
Duan Xuan took it, put it on his forehead, glanced at it, and returned it to Qin Tiexin: "As agreed, whatever suits you is yours."
Qin Tiexin did not refuse, and carefully put Jade Slip into the storage ring. Duan Xuan looked through the remaining things in the cave again, confirmed that there were no other valuable items, and patted the dust on his hands. "That's almost it, let's go."
The two squeezed out of the narrow gap at the entrance of the cave. The sky outside the cave was bright and the woods were quiet, but Qin Tiexin's footsteps stopped the moment they stepped out of the cave entrance.
There was a man standing in the open space at the entrance of the cave.
The man was over nine feet tall, with a strong build, broad shoulders and a thick back. He wore dark leather armor and held a black heavy sword. The sword was one finger wider than Edgeless, and the blade was obtuse. It did not reflect light in the sunlight and only reflected a deep dark color.
Heat waves visible to the naked eye were emanating from his body, the surrounding air was slightly distorted, and the withered grass under his feet was scorched and curled. His gaze crossed Qin Tiexin, swept around the entrance of the cave behind him, and then looked back, with no expression on his face.
"I discovered this hole first." He said, his voice was not high, but every word was filled with a sense of certainty. "Put the things down and you can leave."
