Chapter 678 28: Cleansing the Demonic Lair! (Part 3)

Spiritual Abilities.

This is a skill that can only be acquired after stepping into the Innate Realm, although some intriguing martial arts also achieve the same effect.

The wind is tight, hurry up and leave!

Duncan saw the ten major villains either dead or fleeing. He felt a bit reluctant to continue fighting. Forcibly mobilizing his martial arts, he used Demon Technique to force back Lu Shanjun, then his figure darted through the air, intending to fend off Fu Jianhan and escape directly from this valley.

Only one of the ten major villains, the Poison-hearted Scholar, remained unharmed. But before he could exhibit his agility and rush out of the valley, that young man had already notched an arrow, aiming at him.

Heroic Eagle Shooter!

This man actually knows the arrow skills of the Heroic Eagle Shooter from the foreign tribes?

Thud.

The Poison-hearted Scholar spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, pierced by an arrow in his chest and abdomen, and collapsed severely injured, on the brink of death.

As long as you dare to lift your spirits and leap, with nothing to leverage in mid-air, you become a target of perfect aim.

"Leave your head behind!"

How could Lu Shanjun possibly let Duncan go? The recent grand stroke he was comprehending was incomplete, only halfway done. Unable to overpower Duncan, he simply switched to his self-created Tiger Fury Fist, which immediately increased in might, surpassing even the supreme palm technique he had comprehended on the East Sea cliff.

There is no strongest martial art, only the most suitable one.

In the martial world, people value exquisite techniques, but masters of the Dao Entrance Realm value spirit and intent more, and they have to align with their own Dao.

Practicing martial arts doesn't mean the higher, the better.

Those with a good temperament are suitable to practice Buddhist and Daoist arts because they can achieve tranquility. Those with vigorous blood and energy should nurture themselves from the outside in, using essence and energy. Those with exceptional intelligence are suitable for practicing martial arts that require insight and realization. The more insightful they are, the more thoughts they have, making it easier to have ingenious ideas and penetrate its mysteries.

There is a strange skill in the world called 'Zhouyi Chan Tong Qi'. It not only requires extraordinary insight but also proficiency in numerology and strategic movements.

Lu Shanjun never taught the young man any overly mysterious martial arts.

True great skill appears clumsy.

This is the path he pursues.

"Trying to leave?"

From behind everyone, Miss Sun, who had kept a hidden hand, suddenly made a move. A series of silver needles flew forth like streaming light and shooting stars, driven by True Qi cultivated from the 'Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor', sealing channels and cutting meridians, as twelve silver needles simultaneously shot toward the fleeing Duncan. The protective Qi that surrounded the villain of this valley was instantly pierced. Each needle severed a point, precisely sealing the twelve principal channels of a human.

—— Twelve Meridian Mystical Needles.

With just this woman's move, let alone Duncan, even Lu Shanjun and Duncan were startled. This peculiar needle technique starkly countered experts with toughened physiques. Though Duncan's protective Qi was similar to the two, he completely couldn't withstand Miss Sun's twelve mystical needles.

The twelve silver needles penetrated the body, sealing Duncan's meridians. He roared, his whole True Qi surging, trying to expel the needles using Demon Technique.

"Quickly take action!"

"I can't seal his meridians for long!" Miss Sun exclaimed urgently.

Duncan's martial prowess was too strong.

Likely not weaker than the demonic experts during the Huang Chao Rebellion, his entire body surged with evil energy. Even his aura was changing, with a special blood-colored mark emerging.

—— Wu Xiang Demonic Ability!

Not good.

This man knows the Wu Xiang Demonic Ability and is ready to fight to the death!

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

"Great Arhat Mantra!"

"Where are you going!"

At this critical moment, Unrestrained Monk lifted the Flying Dragon Staff and joined the fray. Although his strength was far inferior to this demon, the monk had always upheld the conviction of self-sacrificing for the Dao. Without any hesitation, he swung the Flying Dragon Staff, employing the Subduing Devil Staff Technique, directly charging with the force of splitting Mount Hua toward Duncan's head.

Clang!

Metal clashed with metal!

Sparks erupted!

The silver needles were instantly expelled.

Duncan's eyes turned blood-red, leaving only a frenzy with bloodthirsty killing intent. At this moment, he borrowed the Wu Xiang Demonic Ability to delve into the demonic path, already becoming a terrifying monster of slaughter without any sense of pain.

Boom!

The figure of Unrestrained Monk was flung backward, spewing blood all over the sky.

This strike, however, partially interrupted the Wu Xiang Demonic Ability.

"Restrain his movements!"

"I'll break his Wu Xiang Demonic Ability!"

Miss Sun drew a silver needle over ten centimeters long from her sleeve, flashing with a cold light. Under the surge of True Qi, it seemed like gold, like jade, emitting a trace of eerie glow.

Lu Shanjun dashed forward and met head-on, and at the moment of collision, True Qi roared, blasting the surrounding rocks into chaos.

The young man wielded a spear like a shooting star, thrusting straight at Duncan's back heart.

Blood oozed.

The opponent's protective Qi was pierced by blood evil, but his body-hardened tendons and bones were as impenetrable as steel. Simultaneously, Duncan's eyes underwent a bizarre transformation, and his pupils seemed to melt, turning directly into blood-colored eyeballs.

This guy is growing black hair all over his body!

"Something's wrong!"

"It's Demonic Possession! Quickly kill him!"

Lady Jade Face's expression changed drastically, the Yin Netherworld Finger pointed at Duncan's glabella.

—— Muscle Divider Bone Altering Technique!

At this critical moment, Lu Shanjun stepped in closely, with tiger claws directly severing tendons and breaking bones, locking the demonic Duncan in place.

At this point, Miss Sun leaped up, her figure gracefully inverting and descending directly from above. A silver needle over ten centimeters long, infused with all her True Qi, pierced into Duncan's heavenly spirit cover, almost sunk to the root.

"Command!

Nine Celestial Mystic Spirits, the Beidou descends with power!

Wind as the lock, Fire as the prison!

The Law of Heaven and Earth borrowed, evil is executed!"

The "Supreme Three Cavities Mantra", wind and fire trapping demons, the law of Heaven and Earth borrowed, this woman even knows Daoist mystical arts.

Since ancient times, medicine and Taoism have not been separated.

Not right.

She uses the middle true qi of the 'Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor', which is a harmonizing qi without any five-element attributes. This true qi is practiced by high-ranking doctors, and when used to treat anyone, it won't cause conflict, and it can even shift the belonging of the true qi.)

The original martial skills of medicine, coming from the 'Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor' and the 'Shennong Herb Classic'. The techniques they also practice, mostly derived from Bian Que and Hua Tuo, began with the Five Animal Play.

Among skilled doctors, the one with the highest agility is the Medicine King Sun Simiao.

After Han and Tang, the flying needle technique also became a compulsory study for doctors.

Breaking Qi!

Dispelling Evil!

A series of special statuses appeared on Duncan's mark. Duncan realized he underestimated this woman. She might not be weaker than Lady Jade Face, only that people in medicine are not skilled at fighting.

But if reasoning doesn't work, the medical community also knows some martial arts, after all, studying medicine alone can't save this world.

Thud.

The spear pierced through the heart, Duncan's body was no longer like a steel corpse, pierced by the young man's spear through the heart, twisting Qi spirals, making a bloody hole in the chest, then Lu Shanjun roared, slapping down with a palm, the head exploded instantly.

Miss Sun's figure flew up, a silver thread connected to the acupuncture, instantly piercing into Unrestrained Monk's body.

"He is gravely injured!"

"His meridians are broken."

"I'm afraid his martial arts can't be preserved!"

Miss Sun stretched out her slender jade hand, swift as lightning, sealing the eight life-and-death meridians, then pressed a palm on Unrestrained Monk's back, saying solemnly, "I need same-source true qi to stabilize his heart meridian."

The young man stepped forward immediately, transmitting qi through the palm into Unrestrained Monk's body.

Cough, cough.

This great monk seemed to regain some clarity, looking at the young man sitting cross-legged in front, channeling qi to protect his heart, his face pale, expression bleak, as though he might pass away any second, he murmured, "Benefactor."

"This poor monk fears he won't make it."

"What a pity."

"This poor monk's accumulated merit is insufficient, I fear I can't prove the Arhat Fruit Position."

Even when dying.

This great monk is still ruminating over merit.

Back then when he met Duncan, he asked if the young man was of the demonic path. If not, there was no need for a fatal battle, dying like that was somewhat inappropriate.

But if he was of the demonic path, he would unsparingly die to exterminate demons and protect the Dao.

Today he fulfilled his prior words.

The young man heard this, coldly said, "Shut up."

"Gather your qi for protection."

"If Shakyamuni doesn't give you your Arhat Fruit Position, one day I'll personally go demand it for you!"

The young man's words were indisputable, if Shakyamuni didn't give it, he'd find the future Buddha Maitreya to ask. He didn't believe he couldn't get Unrestrained Monk a small Arhat Fruit Position.

So what if this great monk was fixated on merit and strayed from Zen?

Merit is merit.

Sitting and meditating all day is useless!

He has the courage to sacrifice himself for the Dao, and deserves an Arhat Position.
