The screams echoed one after another. The Quanzhen Sect, a renowned Quanzhen Sect in the martial arts world, never imagined that this day would come.
One person, with just one move, subdued the entire sect!
Some disciples, under extreme sensory stimulation, would suddenly roll their eyes back and die while shouting.
Some, after reaching their limit of endurance, experience a complete breakdown of the nerves that receive sensory stimulation, ultimately becoming vegetative.
In just five minutes, many disciples of the Quanzhen Sect had died or become mentally impaired.
"Are you all still going to hold on? In a little while, all the disciples below will be dead."
"It's just a matter of checking out the Innate Skill, nothing serious. Why are you all so insistent?"
Xu Xiao stood calmly opposite the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, while piling the corpses of the dead Quanzhen disciples behind him.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were also enduring excruciating torment, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans constantly dripping from their foreheads, soaking the floor.
Looking at the pile of corpses behind Xu Xiao, everyone reached their limit of endurance and was on the verge of weeping blood!
In the end, Ma Jue, as the sect leader, could not bear to see his disciples die, and gritted his teeth as he spoke:
"Please stop your martial arts, sir. My sect is willing to let you take a look at our Innate Skill."
Upon hearing this, the other six people who had been enduring so much also burst into tears, not from the torment, but from their helplessness.
When faced with absolute power, backbone will not bring miracles, but rather needless casualties.
"That's right. Martial arts need to be exchanged to be truly developed and promoted. What's the point of hoarding your own skills?"
"I'm just taking a look, I'm not stealing from you, is it really worth risking my entire lineage?"
Xu Xiao waved his hand generously, and the Qi in his dantian spun, dissipating the Spiritual Power that had been dispersed from the bodies of the Quanzhen disciples.
This is also a great advantage of Spiritual Power; once it is unleashed, as long as the distance is not far or it dissipates, Xu Xiao can control it again.
Once the Life and Death Talisman was removed, the wailing in the hall immediately ceased, leaving only the gasps of those who had survived the ordeal and soft sobs.
None of the Quanzhen disciples dared to look at Xu Xiao again, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, and Ma Jue stepped forward to bow with his hands clasped in greeting.
"Please wait a moment, Master. I will go and retrieve the rare manual of the Innate Skill left behind by my master. Please wait a moment."
The other six also watched Ma Jue walk away with complicated expressions, each of them feeling disheartened.
They used to believe that their martial arts skills were the best in the world, and that even if the Four Greats Masters came to their door, they would be helpless.
I never imagined things would turn out like this... sigh!
It can only be said that there is always someone better, and those who come from the heavens certainly have their own special methods.
At this moment, Xu Xiao had reached a level of divine status in their hearts, Seven Masters of Quanzhen no longer regarded him as an ordinary person.
"Xu Lang, what if that old Daoist priest gives you a fake or the wrong one?"
Li Mochou was standing nearby, quietly reminded her.
"It's okay, I've been keeping an eye on him."
"Oh." Li Mochou nodded as if she understood, but she didn't understand how Xu Xiao was keeping an eye on the place after Ma Jue had left.
Since Xu Xiao said so, she had no choice but to nod and believe him.
After all, the other party's background and methods were truly too mysterious; it was certainly true that they were keeping an eye on Ma Jue.
Xu Xiao wasn't joking when he said he was keeping an eye on Ma Jue; his Divine Sense followed the other person's every move.
Ma Jue left the Zhenwu Hall and quickly headed towards a secret cave in the Quanzhen. After passing through a complex series of switches, he retrieved a yellowed scripture from a hidden compartment.
As the Innate Skill classic text of the Quanzhen Religion School, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen all practiced it and even developed their own interpretations of it.
However, the most authentic version is still the original manuscript left behind by Wang Chongyang Wang Chongyang he personally summarized and compiled in his later years as the secret manual of the Innate Skill.
The manual was taken out, Ma Jue sighed inwardly. He flipped through it, preparing to tear out one or two key sections as revenge.
After all, this manual has been hidden in a secret compartment for decades. If it gets damaged by insects or accidentally lost, the other party won't be able to do anything about it.
The master's hard work should never be handed over to an outsider, especially one with ruthless methods.
Unfortunately, before he could even make a move, the manual slipped from his hand and flew away as if it had grown wings.
"Ah! My scriptures!!"
Ma Jue used his lightness skill to give chase, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. Especially after seeing the secret manual flying towards the Zhenwu Hall, he felt utterly hopeless!
"Could this really be an immortal?"
Before he could give chase, a terrifying force suddenly intensified, and with a cracking sound, his legs were crushed.
Xu Xiao was watching his every move, which served as a lesson for him.
If Xu Xiao sets his sights on something and tries to destroy it, that would be against his principles.
Inside the hall, a yellowed scripture descended from the sky and landed steadily in Xu Xiao's hands.
" The Innate Scripture!"
"Why did only the scriptures return? Where is my senior brother?"
The six disciples of Quanzhen exchanged glances, all with a bad feeling.
"Stop with your scheming. If you're going to pull any tricks, you'll have to be punished."
Xu Xiao gave a cold warning, then pulled out a silver, ring-shaped recorder from his pocket.
He opened it and suspended it in mid-air, then turned the pages of the Innate Scripture one by one, all of which were recorded by the recorder.
Although he had the ability to remember everything he saw after reaching the Innate Realm, technological records are also a form of backup.
When he returns to the main world, he can use the technology of the main world to perfectly replicate every single detail of the Innate Scripture.
Bringing the original back would be too much trouble; this method is better.
Li Mochou was standing nearby, was also curious and kept glancing at Xu Xiao.
"Xu Lang, what is this?"
"It's a recorder, used to record things. You can turn it on and watch them later when you want."
"Really! Then take more pictures of me after you're done filming the martial arts, so that my scene will be recorded."
Li Mochou spoke with a touch of coquettishness.
"Of course, I will keep a record of Mochou's life from now on, and remember your appearance forever."
Xu Xiao didn't mind at all; women in love are just silly.
Despite being a ruthless witch who killed without blinking an eye, Li Mochou still tried every means to make Xu Xiao remember her after falling in love with someone.
She had a feeling that Xu Xiao was from a different world than her, and that she might lose him.
