Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist

Chapter 428 - 248: Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons Shines Through the Ages

Su Que’s Spiritual Power was extremely strong. Upon returning home, he released his Spirit and noticed the bandits crouching on the rooftop.

These bandits were exceedingly weak in terms of strength.

He used an extremely fast Body Technique to kill most of the bandits before they even detected him.

Only the leader of the bandits remained.

"Who...who are you?"

Earth Flying Eagle saw Su Que appeared as a scholarly youth without a fierce appearance, yet with a bold demeanor, and asked.

Who knew that as soon as he asked, Su Que grabbed Earth Flying Eagle by the collar, swung him, and hurled him off the rooftop.

With a bang, Earth Flying Eagle fell into an empty alley, back first.

A cracking sound came from his back, likely indicating that his spinal bones were shattered.

Su Que also jumped off the roof, and at the same time, he swung his right hand behind him.

A deep purple Myriad Poison True Qi was unleashed, enveloping the bandits behind him.

The Myriad Poison True Qi lingered on the bandits’ bodies for an instant, then corroded them completely.

Afterward, it ascended into the sky in swirls and dissipated.

Su Que landed beside Earth Flying Eagle and continued:

"I asked you a question, answer me. Who are you, and why are you harming those two women?"

Earth Flying Eagle, completely powerless to resist against the scholarly youth, fearfully recounted how Su Jing and Li Yujing had killed his brothers and how their Mountain Village had come to seek revenge.

"So that’s how it is."

Crack!

As soon as Earth Flying Eagle finished speaking, Su Que twisted his head, and a crisp sound emanated from the bandit’s neck.

The bandit’s head immediately turned to the side, his eyes bulged, and thus he died.

Su Que rummaged through Earth Flying Eagle’s body but found nothing of value.

After taking the silver taels and silver notes, he used Myriad Poison True Qi to destroy the corpse, then walked back home.

On his way back, he happened to encounter Su Jing and Li Yujing.

"Xiao Que?" Su Jing brightened up upon seeing Su Que:

"Where have you been? Why are you returning so late?"

Seeing Su Jing’s anxious expression, Su Que was moved and said:

"I was just at a friend’s house, stayed a bit late."

As he walked home, he continued:

"I also know it’s quite chaotic outside recently. Being someone who doesn’t know martial arts, naturally, I wouldn’t dare to wander around."

Su Jing felt much relieved upon hearing Su Que’s last sentence.

Thinking that her younger brother understands the chaos outside, he wouldn’t dare to roam outside.

After a while, they returned home and closed the door.

In the hall, Su Jing lit an oil lamp and poured tea for Su Que and Li Yujing.

Su Que sat down and continued: "In the future, I’ll stay within Jiannan Prefecture City, at most going to the nearby villages and towns."

"With the Heaven-Breaking Army maintaining order here, nothing unexpected should happen."

Su Jing nodded upon hearing this. Su Que’s words indeed brought her peace of mind.

"It is better to stay inside recently; Jiannan Prefecture City might not be safe these days." Suddenly, Li Yujing, who had been silent beside them, spoke.

Su Que looked at Li Yujing, wondering why she said that.

Li Yujing, being Li Xuanji’s twin sister, naturally knew what Li Xuanji and the Heaven-Breaking Army were up to.

If she said so, could it be due to some actions of Li Xuanji causing instability in Jiannan Prefecture City?

Contemplating, Su Que inquired:

"Sister Yujing, why do you say so, is there trouble with the Heaven-Breaking Army?"

This question was both to test whether Li Yujing had revealed her connection with the Heaven-Breaking Army to Su Jing and to probe if Li Xuanji had done anything recently.

Li Yujing, surprised at Su Que’s question, replied:

"Whether there’s a problem with the Heaven-Breaking Army, I can’t ascertain."

"But didn’t a group of powerful martial artists come recently to cause trouble?"

"The disruption happened not far from here."

"Thus it’s evident that even here isn’t safe."

Li Yujing avoided a direct answer, using this incident to deflect.

"Indeed, Sister Yujing, I’ve heard about this matter while in Jiannan Prefecture City." Su Jing suddenly said:

"On that day, we were coincidentally outside looking for Xiao Que, hence we didn’t experience it firsthand."

"I heard that among the troublemakers, there were even Gang Condensing Realm Martial Artists. Sister Yujing, do you think this is true?"

"Considering we are in such a secluded place, why would such formidable martial artists come here?"

Li Yujing shook her head, "I also don’t know why, even when I tried inquiring, I couldn’t find out who those martial artists were or their purpose."

Su Que glanced at Li Yujing, thinking that she indeed had a tight-lipped mouth.

Li Yujing’s connection with the Heaven-Breaking Army surely means she knows about this matter.

Su Jing further inquired: "I also heard from Jiannan Prefecture’s martial artists that the matter was resolved that day by the Heavenly-Breaking Army’s martial artists, whose strength might have reached the Peak of Gang Condensing Realm."

"If the Heaven-Breaking Army has such powerful martial artists, doesn’t it mean Jiannan Prefecture City is perfectly safe."

"Gang Condensing Realm martial artist? How does that compare to you?" Su Que asked, feigning ignorance.

Su Jing responded: "In martial arts, the path ascends from Qi Blood Realm, Meridian Opening Realm, to Gang Condensing Realm."

"The Gang Condensing Realm is two major realms higher than mine, and their strength is tens of times greater."

Su Que promptly said: "Since the Heaven-Breaking Army has such formidable martial artists stationed here, Jiannan Prefecture City is indeed safe."

"I shall never leave Jiannan Prefecture City, even if returning late, I’d be within the Prefecture City, so no need to worry."

Su Jing nodded.
