Chapter 1639 - 612: Haven’t You Made Enough Trouble Yet? (Part 2)
"My dear grandson, do you know?
"In order for your cultivation of this martial art to reach Great Success, it is absolutely necessary to use this blood relative as an Elixir, otherwise it is extremely difficult to achieve.
"Otherwise, why do you think I let you brothers fight each other?
"This way, even if someone is defeated and captured, it is only natural.
"I can simply say that they are introspecting behind closed doors, not to be visited.
"After three days, when they are dead, there won’t be any trouble following.
"I have been painstakingly planning for you, how can I give up so easily?"
Xing Zhan’s face turned pale:
"Blood relative as Elixir?
"What kind of martial arts are you teaching me?"
"The Shadow Transformation Divine Skill."
The person laughed heartily:
"Of course, some also call it the ’Blood Shadow Heart Demon Technique.’
"But ultimately, it’s all the same thing.
"Whether a martial art is good or bad cannot be defined; it depends on the person using it, correct?
"However, this martial art originally came from the ’Duqing Sect’ of yesteryear, so the cultivation technique inevitably carries some sinister elements."
"Duqing Sect?"
Upon hearing these words, Xing Hao’s pupils shrank rapidly:
"You... you actually let Zhan’er cultivate Duqing Sect’s Demon Technique!!"
"Do you know about the Duqing Sect, Uncle?"
Xing Zhan couldn’t help but open his mouth, even though he wanted Xing Hao to leave quickly before things went awry.
But the matter involved his martial arts, making him want Xing Hao to clearly explain the Duqing Sect.
"The Duqing Sect... was a Demon Sect of the past.
"They called themselves Duqing, but were truly heartless.
"Roaming the world, upon encountering someone they fancy, they pursued them.
"Sweet talk, passionate love.
"But when love deepened, the Duqing Sect people would kill their beloved.
"Extract the heart to refine Elixir, disguising it as joining hearts.
"Thus merging into one, never to separate!
"If that were all, it would just be harming one person.
"But the Duqing Sect members are each passionate, quickly falling for another after merging with one.
"If they have affection for the family of those they like, they might kill the whole family for heart extraction and Elixir refining.
"Their methods are ruthless and treacherous, inciting outrage!"
"Indeed, indeed."
The person across nodded continuously hearing Xing Hao’s words:
"The Duqing Sect was indeed unrighteous, thus our Xizhou couldn’t tolerate them and eradicated them.
"Yet, their martial arts were unique and very interesting.
"Our leader of old used their martial arts to derive the four Divine Skills.
"Among them is this Blood Shadow Heart Demon Technique.
"Grandson, you are learning one of the top-tier martial arts in Jianghu.
"If not for being incomplete, how could Hei Bodhisattva be your match?
"He might not even withstand a single move!
"See, grandfather has bestowed such good martial arts upon you and prepared the Xue Qinxin Pill for you.
"Just waiting for your final push to accomplish your success.
"Such heartfelt intention.
"Would you be willing to join us?"
Xing Zhan sneered, just about to speak, yet suddenly he didn’t know what came to mind, and coldly asked:
"Join you?
"Who exactly are you people?"
"If you agree to join, I will certainly tell you everything.
"But if you refuse..."
"Then what?"
"I’m afraid you won’t have a choice."
The person chuckled and said, "Didn’t my dear grandson always ask me, what did I do to you after you finished cultivating the Shadow Transformation Divine Skill?
"At that time, I told you that heaven gives great responsibility to this person...
"But that wasn’t the truth.
"The real intention... is here..."
As he spoke, he suddenly flicked his hand.
A sound of tearing fabric abruptly rang out.
Xing Zhan, caught off guard, let out a painful cry.
Xing Hao looked down:
"Zhan’er, your hand!!"
The skin on one hand entirely broke apart, revealing a bloody palm.
The person laughed and said:
"See, with my mere thought, this skin of yours is no longer yours.
"What else can you use to resist me?
"If you choose to join, that’s fine; but if you refuse, don’t blame your grandfather for peeling off your human skin!"
Xing Zhan looked at his bloodstained hand, finally understanding.
The opponent had taught him the Demon Technique, allowing his martial skills to advance rapidly, but also had done tricks on him.
It was meant to control him and make him their puppet.
And this method surely wasn’t as simple as mere peeling of skin.
"Speaking of this matter, I am somewhat curious.
"The skin-peeling technique, how exactly is it done?
"After peeling the skin, what happens to the blood, flesh, and bones?
"Could you enlighten me, sir?"
A voice emerged from behind.
The person instinctively replied:
"Naturally, it is our leader’s Divine Skills; we have not cultivated them..."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized.
He quickly turned:
"Who is there?"
But behind him, there was only emptiness.
Confused, he looked back at Xing Zhan.
Only to find that beside him, there was already a black clothed man.
The black clothed man took out a small medicine bottle, sprinkled the powder inside onto Xing Zhan’s bleeding hand.
Then, he carefully reattached the split skin.
Finally, he smiled slightly:
"It’s temporarily fine now; in a few days, it will heal."
"It’s truly Lord Wu?"
Xing Zhan gazed in amazement at the suddenly appearing black clothed man.
