Chapter 685 - 450: Perilous Situations, Heaven Cutting Technique! (Double-Length)
"In that case, Brother Su, go ahead, but do spare Qingqing as she is not involved in this matter," Song Changming said solemnly.
If Su Fengye insists on killing him, Su Qingqing will not be able to save him. Song Changming might have to sacrifice one life and wait for the day to be reborn through Nirvana to seek revenge.
He was not afraid for his own life or death, but what he worried about was the safety of Su Qingqing beside him.
Hearing this, Su Fengye felt even more tormented inside.
He did not know that Song Changming possessed the ability to come back to life. Years ago, he had entrusted Song Changming to take good care of his daughter Su Qingqing. Even in such a dire moment of life and death, Song Changming still cared about Su Qingqing’s safety.
In contrast, he, as a father, was always standing against his own daughter...
"If you harm the Young Master, I won’t let you go in the future!" Su Qingqing said fiercely, standing in front of Song Changming.
Her eyes were bright and gradually turned into a pink hue. The red mark on her forehead became more heated, adding to her enchanting appearance.
Although she was in the territory of the Demon Race at Fox Mountain, she had made significant progress in the Innate Realm human cultivation as well.
She had opened seven Martial Veins, not to mention she had also studied the Demon Race techniques and talent abilities, further developing her dual lineage as a half-human, half-demon.
Changsheng Blood and Nine-tailed Fox Demon Blood, Gang Qi and Demon Power, all coexisted perfectly within her, which was her greatest strength and unique trait.
This also gave her, like Song Changming, powerful combat abilities beyond her level!
Though she had only opened seven Martial Veins, she was not afraid of facing martial artists in the Innate Perfection Realm.
Although her demon practices were still shallow, she could hold her own against top Demon Generals!
The speed of Su Qingqing’s strength advancement was beyond what Song Changming could have anticipated!
Even he had underestimated the special nature of Su Qingqing’s constitution.
Su Fengye’s eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he finally said, "Leave here quickly, before my family’s Grandmasters arrive."
After speaking, he took one last look at Su Qingqing and quickly left.
In the end, he did not take action. He neither wanted to betray the Su family nor did he want to hurt his daughter again, and he also felt guilty towards Song Changming.
Thus, he ultimately chose to turn a blind eye and spared Song Changming.
Watching Su Fengye leave, Song Changming took a deep breath and said, "Let’s get out of here first."
"Okay." Su Qingqing no longer hesitated and took her Young Master away from this Red Earth Continent.
They did not return to Cui Bai Dao but went to the neighboring West Valley Road to temporarily avoid the danger.
The two arrived in a major city of West Valley Road, where Song Changming bought a secluded house to temporarily settle.
Originally, Song Changming wanted to instruct Su Qingqing with a few words before retreating to heal alone.
However, Su Qingqing said she had a way to speed up Song Changming’s recovery.
"The Fox Race has a technique called Heaven Cutting Technique, which means to cut the mandate of the Heavenly Dao, allowing the dead to be resurrected and the living to heal..." In the room, Su Qingqing, smelling the bloody scent of Song Changming, hurriedly explained.
"Resurrecting the dead? Is it that powerful?" Song Changming exclaimed in surprise.
He knew that some Demon Races indeed possessed extremely powerful demon arts, whether tyrannical or eerie, with functions beyond ordinary imagination.
This resurrection of the dead, to put it plainly, was a form of coming back to life, leaving him no choice but to be astonished.
"That’s what my mother said. I haven’t practiced enough to do something so incredible..." Su Qingqing said a little embarrassed.
In truth, even Xi Yanxue, who taught her demon arts, could not achieve the feat of resurrecting the dead with this technique.
However, Xi Yanxue was aware that in the history of their Nine-tailed Fox race, there were Demons in the tribe who had perfected this technique to achieve that feat, not an exaggerated claim!
For now, Song Changming was not dead, so naturally, Su Qingqing did not need to resurrect him.
Besides, this Heaven Cutting Technique could be considered a unique healing art, perfectly suited for Song Changming’s current condition.
Upon hearing this, Song Changming, trusting Su Qingqing, agreed.
"Then I’ll leave it to you, Qingqing."
"You flatter me, Young Master," Su Qingqing said, already seated cross-legged in front of Song Changming, her face solemn.
When she opened her eyes again, they had completely transformed into pink, filled with an enchanting color.
At the same time, the three-petal red mark on her forehead became even brighter and more dazzling.
This mark on her forehead, Song Changming recalled, also appeared on Qingqing’s biological mother, identical in nature, seemingly formed through the practice of demon arts, not an ordinary makeup.
Su Qingqing formed seals with her hands, and with waves of strange energy fluctuations, wind and clouds gathered at the sky’s dome, with spiritual qi swirling around, and faintly, spiritual light descended from the heavens, falling into the city below.
Such phenomena and commotion were not little, but there were not many Martial Arts powerhouses within the city, making it unclear who could have summoned such phenomena, only causing the city’s people to marvel in amazement.
The spiritual light fell into a secluded courtyard, seeping into Song Changming’s body.
In that instant, Song Changming’s mind became clear, and his already strong self-healing ability was once again multiplied!
Threefold, fivefold, tenfold increase!
Song Changming immediately understood that Su Qingqing’s demon art was not directly healing him but rather stimulating his flesh and body in a unique way to accelerate self-healing.
What might have taken a year and a half to recover from, under the urging of this demon art, could now heal in just two or three days!
And on Song Changming’s body, the effect of the demon art was even more pronounced.
In just a moment, the external wounds on Song Changming’s body, those torn and gaping parts, sprouted a large amount of flesh buds, interweaving and healing, scabbing and shedding.
Even the more serious, penetrating fatal injuries and numerous invisible internal injuries were healing rapidly.
A stick of incense later, Song Changming was astonished to discover that his originally gravely wounded state was now seventy to eighty percent healed!
Such a recovery speed could only be described as incredible.
At this point, Su Qingqing was already gritting her teeth, her face pale.
Obviously, maintaining this demon art was quite exhausting for her now, especially with Song Changming’s injuries being so severe, requiring even more recovery time.
In the past, maintaining for ten minutes was already her limit.
At this moment, in order to heal Song Changming, she was going beyond her limits.
Song Changming was unaware of Su Qingqing’s condition until a few more minutes passed, at which point Su Qingqing exhausted her Heart Power and fainted, breaking off the demon art, and Song Changming finally realized.
"Thank you for your hard work..." Song Changming murmured, first sensing Su Qingqing’s state.
Fortunately, Su Qingqing was no ordinary person, and her overexertion was not too severe; she would recover after some rest and recuperation.
He placed Su Qingqing alone in an inner room bed, setting up a Spirit Gathering Array around her, which naturally allowed spiritual qi to enter her body with each breath, accelerating her recovery from exhaustion.
Song Changming, meanwhile, outside the house, checked on himself.
At this moment, his injuries were ninety percent healed, and those originally hideous and terrifying penetrating fatal wounds were now all healed.
Broken bones rejoined, flesh was reborn!
It must be said, Su Qingqing’s demon art was truly remarkable.
Even the Martial Tao Root that Song Changming thought had been damaged was nearly fully restored, and this was the most crucial aspect.
The damage to the Martial Tao Root is something every martial artist dreads and despairs over, capable of rendering all past martial achievements futile, and might take ten years or more to heal.
Now, Su Qingqing had helped Song Changming resolve this potential issue.
"With my current strength, returning to Cui Bai Dao to interfere in the conflict between Su family and Prince Cui is futile, as it would only put me in danger again and change nothing..."
As his injuries healed, Song Changming began to consider his current situation.
He was also more concerned about whether the conflict between the Su family and Prince Cui had already concluded after all this time.
"Perhaps..."
Song Changming opened his personal panel, his gaze falling on the Opening Mansion Technique.
In the short term, only by opening the Purple Mansion and stepping into the Grandmaster Realm could his personal strength undergo a comprehensive, qualitative transformation.
By then, he might have the ability to change the course of this battle and no longer fear the Su family.
However, the Opening Mansion Technique was not yet perfected, with a basic success rate of only forty percent. Even with Earth Core Fire Liquid as an auxiliary spiritual object, it could only increase the success probability by one to two percent at most.
The scene of being severely injured by Su Jichuan echoed in his mind. Choosing to break through hastily now was not the most secure way, but Song Changming needed this breakthrough in cultivation.
Whether for Prince Cui at Hu Tomb or for himself, Song Changming could no longer wait for a later chance!
