Chapter 114: Chapter 75: Advancing to the Qi-Blood Realm! Lifespan Limit!_2
“What’s going on? Are there other animals kept in this estate?”
The man with triangular eyes exchanged a glance with the tattooed man; both saw the puzzlement in the other’s eyes. Hesitating for a moment, they continued to move stealthily forward.
When the two passed through the artificial hills and waters, they arrived at a scenic area that was both elegant and tranquil, planted with rows of trees that resembled a small forest.
“What?”
As they directed their gaze, they were taken aback. They saw a blood-red bird flying among the tree canopies, its body sheathed in a thin veil of the same color, agilely leaping about, causing the treetops to tremble.
“No… not a bird… it’s a person!”
But soon, they were stunned. Upon closer look, what was leaping through the tree canopies was not any bird or crane, but a person!
Because the figure was so fast and agile, moving across the treetops as if walking on level ground, almost as if flying, it gave them the illusion!
“Boom!”
The next second, the blood-red figure leaped down from the tree canopy, heavy as a nearly one-ton Violent Bear, brash and forceful, plummeting from several meters up and causing the ground to shake thunderously, leaving a crater two to three meters in diameter.
“Roar!”
The figure moved vigorously, like an enraged Violent Bear, and at times like a roaring tiger. Though it made no sound, roars echoed in their ears!
“He… he’s practicing martial arts? What… what martial arts is this?”
The two of them stared wide-eyed at the blood-red figure in the distance, realizing that he was practicing martial arts. However, the scale of the practice and the fist techniques displayed were beyond their imagination!
At times it was like a nimble crane spiraling into the sky, at times like a Violent Bear Shakes the Earth, and at times like a tiger roaring fiercely to the heavens. Although it was a solitary figure, it brilliantly portrayed a variety of birds and beasts so lifelike and wild in beauty!
“Go… let’s go!”
After a long moment, the tattooed man snapped back to reality, urgently grabbed the stunned man with the triangular eyes, and whispered urgently.
Even as foolish as they were, they knew that the blood-colored figure was most likely the tenant of this estate. The youth was not the pushover they had imagined, but a martial arts expert so terrifying it was beyond their imagination!
“Damn it… how could a kid this young have such martial arts cultivation? Divine Strength Realm? Or Divine Bravery Stage?”
The men woke as if from a dream and started to flee, their minds filled with horror. Even the master of their former martial arts school had not impressed upon them such an oppressive feeling as the young man who was practicing his boxing!
However, just as they had run only a few steps, they felt a gust of wind sweeping by their side, shaking their bodies. When their vision blurred, they felt their souls escaping.
“What are you… looking at?”
An icy voice rose in front of them, and before they knew it, a massive blood-colored tiger had appeared, opening its gaping maw and viciously biting towards them. The stench of blood and the sharp, cold gleam of its fangs left their minds blank!
“Ah!”
The sudden appearance of a blood-colored tiger pouncing to kill them elicited a scream of terror from their mouths. They could only feel their hearts pounding violently, spasming as they reeled backward and collapsed, their eyes bulging as they fell to the ground lifeless.
“Scared to death?”
Su Changkong frowned as he looked at the two men who had stopped breathing and were lying motionless before him, being somewhat speechless.
These two had stealthily climbed the wall into the estate where he lived, clearly up to no good. At this hour before dawn, Su Changkong had already energetically gotten up to practice his boxing, to metabolize the power of the Qi-Blood Pills.
The two men ran into Su Changkong while he was practicing boxing. Under the might of his vigorous Qi and Blood outbreak, they were scared to death!
These two men were already terrified and out of their wits just witnessing Su Changkong practice boxing. When Su Changkong intercepted them during their escape, they were directly scared into hallucinations, their hearts stopping on the spot, leading to their sudden deaths.
However, this was normal. Su Changkong, previously in the Divine Bravery Stage, had been suppressed by Liu Bairen who was in the Qi-Blood Realm, declining his performance and being controlled at every turn. It was probable that these two weren’t even at the Strength Refinement Realm, and in front of Su Changkong, whose Qi and Blood were steadily undergoing metamorphosis, he could slay them with just the outburst of his Qi and Blood without even lifting a finger!
“Whew!”
Su Changkong stood in place, practicing his breathing and meditation to calm the Qi and Blood within his body, as the thin layer of blood-colored veil enshrouding him gradually dispersed.
Three days ago, after assimilating the ninth Qi-Blood Pill, Su Changkong’s Qi and Blood had already reached the peak of his physique, and he naturally underwent the first metamorphosis, stepping into the Qi-Blood Realm without encountering any bottleneck!
This was expected. For ordinary martial artists to break through to the Qi-Blood Realm, a few key factors include, first, achieving peak Qi and Blood, and second, having the talent and youth of the body.
If one’s age is too advanced and the state of the body begins to decline, then reaching the Qi-Blood Realm would be as difficult as reaching the heavens!
Su Changkong, with the help of Qi-Blood Pills and a youthful body at its peak, a solid foundation, and a talent for martial arts that could be called genius level, indeed had no trouble breaking through this bottleneck.
“After entering the Qi-Blood Realm, my body seems to have begun a second development like breaking through a limit. My physique is now stronger than before, and even my Five Animal Frolics and Turtle Breath Technique, which had reached a stagnation point, have progressed faster.. I will soon achieve a breakthrough! Even my lifespan has increased by ten years!”
