Chapter 372 - 295: The Technique for Immortality! (Double-Length)_2
"How about we go take a look in a couple of days?" Hu Yan chuckled.
"Why wait? There’s no time like the present, let’s go today!" Lou Baoqiu couldn’t resist and said eagerly.
"That’s fine too," Hu Yan agreed, not surprised by the other’s urgency.
It was typical for him; the beauties he heard about today would never linger until tomorrow.
His gaze subtly fell on the two figures behind this person, cloaked in black robes.
Under the black robes, they were armed with bows and wearing armor, holding long spears, like two Door Gods guarding Lou Baoqiu.
As Hu Yan looked over, they also turned their gaze toward him.
Their eyes glowed with a faint green light, their skin was pallid, and their bodies exuded an aura of death—clearly marking them as Green eyed Corpse Puppets.
Exactly matching the image Song Changming had previously received.
They were Song Changming’s two brothers!
During this time, he had been following Song Changming’s instructions, getting close to this person.
The simplest and most effective way to get close was naturally to cater to their interests.
This person had a penchant for beauty, which made it quite easy—just find beauties that suited his taste.
In this back-and-forth, the relationship naturally grew closer.
The only issue troubling Hu Yan was that this man’s surname was Lou, and within the sect, he had a high-ranking elder father—a presence Hu Yan absolutely could not provoke.
Should he and his associates harm this elder’s son, it would be impossible for him to remain in the sect.
He feared being pursued by the other to the ends of the earth, leading to inevitable death.
"Once I get the antidote, I can’t stay at Cui Bai Dao, no, I can’t stay in the entire Yun Province..."
Hu Yan was already contemplating his escape route, while Lou Baoqiu, beside him, was beaming with a smile, thinking about how to torment the little beauty as he walked down the mountain.
This person’s methods were so vicious and cruel that even Hu Yan, who was also a villain, had to concede.
Lou Baoqiu, full of joy, failed to notice the slight change in Hu Yan’s expression.
He knew, of course, that the other had been currying favor with him during this period.
But with a good father like his, it was normal for others to try and curry favor with him.
Many disciples and followers in the sect without power or influence endeavored to gain his favor.
Therefore, he didn’t think much of it, only feeling that this guy was quite perceptive, with the women chosen well to his taste.
The two descended the mountain.
"Brother Lou, earlier I suffered losses, and the Green eyed Corpse Puppet was completely destroyed..."
"No matter, it’s a small thing; I’ll give you a lift." Lou Baoqiu waved a large hand, and the Green eyed Corpse Puppet beside him took the two flying far away.
In an instant, the Corpse Refining Sect disappeared behind them.
Yun Province, Cui Bai Dao, Zao Town.
This town, situated near the edge of Yun Province, was a large town close to the Thirty Six Grotto Heavens of Nanzhou, frequented by merchants and treasure hunters alike.
Thus, although the town’s law and order were somewhat lacking, the flow of people was never small, making it a place teeming with all sorts.
Lou Baoqiu and Hu Yan descended from the sky and walked toward the town.
They were very familiar with this town; the two had not refrained from coming together to cause mischief during this time.
"Brother Lou, this pair of Green eyed Corpse Puppets are truly rare, probably with the potential to advance to Red Eye in the future; I’m quite envious," Hu Yan half-falsely praised.
"Heh heh, this was a gift from my father years ago, indeed an exceptional material, though I dare not hope for Red Eye advancement in the future; if these Green eyes can continue to evolve, I’ll be content,"
Lou Baoqiu said casually, wanting to hurry into town.
Hu Yan shifted the conversation, suddenly saying, "Brother Lou, how about I have someone bring that beauty out of town, to avoid any possible wrecking of the mood with eyesores in town."
"What are you afraid of? I want to see who dares to spoil my fun!" Lou Baoqiu snorted lightly.
"A few days ago, I saw a lot of Innate Martial Artists come to town; they might be from other Major Sect Disciples, who knows if they’re still here today. This is just as a precaution.
Besides, Brother Lou, wouldn’t you like to try enjoying your conquests in a scenic outdoor location?" Hu Yan persuaded.
"An outdoor valley?" Lou Baoqiu’s interest was piqued by the last sentence.
"Is there a waterfall? I’ve never tried it under a waterfall..."
"There is, of course."
Lou Baoqiu was persuaded, swiftly flying out of the town.
Simultaneously, a carrier pigeon flew into the town.
Soon, in the deserted valley outside the town.
"Brother Lou, how is this place as a ’battlefield’?" Hu Yan remarked with a smile rich in meaning.
The smile carried a tinge of hidden mockery.
"Good, good, I like this waterfall, at that time..." Lou Baoqiu was overjoyed, calling Hu Yan a kindred spirit, grateful for the excellent choice of location.
However, before he could finish speaking, a blast of purple-gold Sword Qi shot across, directly targeting Lou Baoqiu.
Buzz!
The Jade Talisman at his neck suddenly radiated brightly, with rays of golden light swirling around him.
The purple-gold Sword Qi smashed into it, dimming the golden light slightly, but Lou Baoqiu remained unscathed, avoiding a disaster.
At this point, only then was Lou Baoqiu shocked and realized what had happened.
"Protect!"
The Corpse Puppets behind him immediately surrounded him, including his two Green eyed Corpse Puppets.
The next moment, purple-gold Thunder broke through the air, and the alert Lou Baoqiu only vaguely saw a blurry silhouette approaching through the thunder light.
The figure in the air wielded a long blade, slicing the large waterfall in half, causing a break in the flow!
In the blink of an eye, the figure arced through the sky, appearing before the group of Corpse Puppets.
The heads of three Corpse Puppets were lopped off in response.
"Who are you!" Lou Baoqiu cried out in slight panic.
Song Changming ignored him, his long blade continuing its momentum, slashing towards him.
Clang!
The long blade collided with the golden light of the Jade Talisman, sending large swathes of purple-gold Innate Qi Aura swirling outward.
Under Song Changming’s Giant Strength, the Jade Talisman quickly emitted more golden light.
This Golden Shield seemed similar to the Golden Shield Talisman Song Changming had himself, though evidently stronger than an ordinary level Two Golden Shield Talisman!
Following that, the golden light released by the Life saving Jade Talisman on Lou Baoqiu’s body continuously gathered, ultimately forming a large golden tortoise in front of him.
And Lou Baoqiu was inside this golden Great Golden Turtle.
Boom!
Giant Strength crashed in; Lou Baoqiu was directly sent flying into the remaining Corpse Puppets, his entire body flung against a distant rock wall, then plunged into the pool beneath the waterfall.
"Huh..." Song Changming found it surprising that his slash hadn’t shattered the Great Golden Turtle.
One had to admit, that Jade Talisman was indeed a treasure.
Lou Baoqiu emerged from the water, furious, "Kill him for me!"
The remaining Corpse Puppets immediately spun around, with a barrage of blades, swords, and spears, but all missed.
Song Changming had already closed in on Lou Baoqiu once more, slashing that Cloaked in a Golden Turtle Lou Baoqiu back into the sky!
Then Song Changming also soared, continuing to chase with Wind Chasing Lightning speed!
Lou Baoqiu’s own strength, like other Corpse Refining Sect Members, was considerably limited, not even in the Innate Realm, leaving him no option but to endure Song Changming’s relentless assault passively.
Ultimately, after three strikes, the Golden Turtle finally shattered.
Lou Baoqiu plunged back into the waterfall, embedding into the rock wall.
Without the Jade Talisman’s protection, Lou Baoqiu finally truly sensed the terrifying magnitude of the Giant Strength that Song Changming displayed.
His mind went blank, his vision darkened; he spewed blood from serious injuries, feeling as though six of his seven souls had been battered out of him.
The greatest weakness in battles involving Corpse Refining Sect Members was themselves.
This individual was no exception.
Everything ended in an instant, unfolding so quickly that even Hu Yan, watching the spectacle, was left dumbfounded.
The Corpse Puppets all failed to keep up with Song Changming’s explosive speed.
Not until Song Changming paused slightly did the remaining Corpse Puppets finally reach him.
The wind howled, and the hoods worn by the leading two Green eyed Corpse Puppets were blown off, revealing their original shadowed appearances.
Song Changming glanced at them, feeling a momentary daze.
"Elder Brother, Second Brother..."
