Under the horrified gaze of two half-step Celestials in the Tianbao Pavilion, the youth’s palm fell, leaving the desiccated Demon Lord, even after using his final secret technique, utterly defenseless.
The body fell from mid-air.
His consciousness was already dispersed, yet his body remained intact.
There wasn’t a single mark of injury visible.
This was the most terrifying aspect, the direct annihilation of consciousness!
Such a horrifying technique of martial arts!
After effortlessly killing the desiccated Demon Lord, Li Xuan looked calmly at the two half-step Celestials of the Tianbao Pavilion, “I’ve never suppressed others with my realm, what do you two think?”
Immediate beads of cold sweat began pouring from the heads of Tianbao
Pavilion’s half-step Celestials.
Such a terrifying existence, undoubtedly a Celestial Martial Artist!
Even though they were not the target of the attack, they still felt their hair stand on end, as if their consciousness was about to be annihilated.
“Senior, please don’t misunderstand! Our Tianbao Pavilion has no ill intentions. We always follow the principle of non-interference in the disputes of the martial arts world. We have only come to witness a major event in the Inner Realm martial arts world.”
“Yes, there’s been no misunderstanding. Tianbao Pavilion and Chang Qing Pavilion have happy cooperation, no conflicts, and there surely are no improprieties. We hope the senior understand!
The two half-step Celestials nervously spoke.
They felt relieved, thanking their decision of adhering strictly to Tianbao Pavilion’s principles without resorting to the use of force against Chang Qing Pavilion, otherwise, they might have been dead by now.
Just a wave of his hand had killed a half-step Celestial.
How many half-step Celestials could he kill?
Terrifying!
A true Celestial Martial Artist! Furthermore, he had said he never suppressed others with his realm. Thus when killing the desiccated Demon Lord, he did not show his real strength.
The Martial Arts technique displayed, was it just the one below the Celestial realm?
What terrifying Martial Arts technique, only the consciousness was eradicated while the body wasn’t injured at all.
Such an attack was the hardest to defend against!
“From ancient times to the present, any great power collapses when it becomes complacent, considers itself supreme, fails to recognize its position relative to its enemies, and deviates from its principles.
“I hope that you, Tianbao Pavilion, can truly recognize who you are.”
Li Xuan’s tone was indifferent, but the meaning of his warning to Tianbao
Pavilion was unmistakably clear.
“Yes, yes, you are right!”
The powerful individuals from Tianbao Pavilion nodded anxiously in
agreement.
Li Xuan reached out for the body of the desiccated Demon Lord, which fell into his hands. With a flash, he disappeared.
In the courtyard of Chang Qing Pavilion, Su Lingxiu looked at the bodies of Yinlou Pavilion’s master and others, her eyes red. Her sworn enemy was dead!
Grabbing a shovel, she gritted her teeth in anger, “Even though I couldn’t kill you myself, I’ll still grind your bones into dust to appease the hatred in my heart!”
Zhou Ying also took out a knife, preparing to join Su Lingxiu in reducing the bodies of Yinlou Pavilion’s master and the peak Grandmasters to pieces for dogs!
“Girl, what are you doing?”
Li Xuan returned with the body of the desiccated Demon Lord and threw it on
the ground.
“Master, I want to chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!
Su Lingxiu spoke with hate.
Xu Yan and others nodded their heads, showing their support for Su Lingxiu. They were looking at their enemies, so how could they relieve the hatred without grinding the enemies’ bones into dust?
Moreover, their master left for a while and brought back another body.
This mummified man was undoubtedly a half-step Celestial.
However, Li Xuan said, “These people have lost their consciousness, yet their bodies still retain vitality, even their cultivation base remains. Isn’t it a waste to destroy them?
“I have left these bodies for you to study. A medical martial artist should not be ignorant of the body of a martial artist.”
“You should preserve these bodies, dissect them to examine the changes in a martial artist’s body after cultivation, and explore the mysteries.”
“Grinding the bones to dust is just venting temporary anger. You can turn them into research objects; dissect or dismantle, even reassemble if you want. You can relieve your hate and also gain something in the process.”
Su Lingxiu paused, turned towards the nine bodies- two half-step Celestials, seven peak Great Grandmasters, whose consciousness had indeed perished, yet their bodily vitality persisted.
“Thankyou, master. I understand now!”
Su Lingxiu became extremely excited, Xu Yan’s words were like opening a skylight for her.
Li Xuan nodded, “Preserve the bodies well. I hope this can give you insights into the mysteries of medical martial arts.”
He was expecting what Su Lingxiu could gain from this.
Perhaps, the path of Medical Martial Arts will be further advanced as a result.
The reason he didn’t completely incinerate the body was because he purposefully left it behind for Su Lingxiu to dissect and conduct other research, so that Su Lingxiu could benefit from it.
To further refine the Dao of Pill and Medical Martial Arts, and improve the level of Pill and Medical Martial Canon.
How can one call themselves a healer without understanding the changes and mysteries within a martial artist’s body?
“Yes, Master!”
Su Lingxiu was exceedingly excited, hastily preparing spiritual medicine to concoct a pill to preserve the body, ensuring that the body’s vitality isn’t extinguished, and its cultivation level isn’t lost.
Commanding Shi’er and Kou Ruozhi to move the corpse to a secret chamber, Su Lingxiu hastily concocted a pill formula, refining a pill that nourishes the body and inserted it into the corpse.
Li Xuan sat down on his chair, resuming his calm demeanor, as if killing a halfstep Heavenly Being is as trivial as crushing an ant.
“Master!”
Xu Yan paid respectful homage.
“Apprentice, do you have any questions?”
Li Xuan revealed a smile.
“Master, where does the intimidation of the Lord of Yinlou Pavilion come from? Is the divine martial art you used only targeted at mental consciousness?”
Xu Yan respectfully asked.
“The human body has three souls and seven spirits, which are also where consciousness lies. If the soul perishes, everything else is empty, only the physical body remains, which will eventually decay and disappear.
“What I killed is the soul!
“The divine martial arts have their own mysteries. Once you understand them, you truly understand them. Only what you understand by yourself truly belongs to you. This is your path.
“As I have always emphasized, I teach the Dao, not the law.
Li Xuan spoke and raised his hand, slashing at the air.
God-Slaying Slash!
He aims to make Xu Yan and Meng Chong comprehend this slash so that they can understand a divine martial art similar to the God-Slaying Slash based upon it!
“Disciple understands, I will not disappoint Master!
Xu Yan respectfully replied.
He felt a hint of enlightenment in his heart, yet he couldn’t fully comprehend it.
To understand divine martial arts is not an overnight task.
“After breaking through to Tongxuan, think more about the divine martial
arts.”
Xu Yan silently said in his heart.
Meng Chong on the side seemed to have gained something. Li Xuan performed the God-Slaying Slash while he practiced the Dao of sword, so he was able to comprehend some things from it.
Of course, he’s still a long way from fully comprehending the divine martial arts.
Li Xuan did not pass on the God-Slaying Slash or the One-Hit Kill as he did not want Xu Yan and Meng Chong to be confined by these two divine martial arts, unable to break the frame of these two divine martial arts.
What he needs is for Xu Yan and Meng Chong to comprehend their own divine martial arts, to fully express them. Maybe they can create a more powerful and mysterious one, different from both the God-Slaying Slash and One-Hit Kill.
By then, he would acquire new divine martial arts from the feedback from Golden Finger, and his strength would undoubtedly improve again.
Inside Chang Qing Pavilion, Su Lingxiu, Shi’er, Kou Ruozhi, Meng Shushu, and Zhou Ying were busily bustling about; while Xu Yan and Meng Chong were each absorbed in thought on the side, reflecting on their master’s divine martial arts.
Xu Junhe breathed a sigh of relief. Given how strong their senior was, what was there to fear of the joint attack by all the major forces?
Fifty peak Great Grandmasters, that’s all they amounted to!
He had already started considering how to develop and strengthen Chang Qing Pavilion after this incident.
The pace in Dahua could be accelerated; there was no need to tread so carefully anymore.
At the top floor of Tianbao Pavilion, two half-step Heavenly Beings were drinking tea. Even though they were holding teacups, their eyes were fixed on Chang Qing Pavilion – their hands slightly trembling.
The Demon Lord, whose strength matched them or even stronger, dropped dead without putting up any resistance.
This scene left an indelible shadow in the hearts of these two half-step Heavenly Beings.
Catastrophically terrifying!
With the wave of a palm, consciousness vanished in an instant, offering zero resistance.
Although the two were half-step Heavenly Beings, they had no idea how to protect their consciousness. That slash seemed unstoppable, and it appeared that not even a real Martial Dao Heavenly Being could resist it!
“Here they come!”
Suddenly, one of them spoke.
“After this incident, I’m afraid the Da Yue Kingdom is going to go through some changes.”
The two looked up to see dozens of peak Great Grandmasters, enveloped in an intimidating momentum, surrounding Chang Qing Pavilion.
