Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

12: Eternal Life Five Qigong, handsome young manThe two Fox spirits turned around, and a thin pink mist drifted out from their bodies, releasing a sweet scent.

Qin Jiang’s eyes narrowed, and he charged forward with his blade.

He couldn’t wait; this was the Essence Spirit’s home ground, and dragging it out would only make things worse!

Bang!

The three figures collided fiercely. Qin Jiang exerted force with both arms, delivering a series of slashes that cut through the Fox spirit’s fur, sending blood flying.

At the same time, scratches appeared on his body, his black cloth clothes turned into ragged strips, and his exposed skin was torn, with blood soaking his clothes.

If it were a normal fight, his probability of losing would be over eighty percent.

And losing meant death!

He could only trade injuries! Betting on the stronger recovery of his Five Animals Play!

Tiger Form! Fierce Tiger Leaping the Ravine!

He pushed off with his feet, and a huge force propelled his body into a leap. While dodging a kick, he swung his blade and slashed at the Fox spirit’s neck.

’Crack!’

With a crisp sound, the blade was blocked by the Fox spirit’s cervical spine.

Seeing this, Qin Jiang grabbed a tree trunk, exerted force with his left arm, and swung his body out of the battle circle.

Landing lightly, his expression was a little grim.

The vital spot of these two Fox spirits seemed to be only their hearts.

Propping himself up with his blade, he looked ahead. The two Fox spirits slowly walked towards him.

There was no way out; these two Fox spirits were too fast, he couldn’t even escape.

The crisis of death was imminent. Since his Rebirth, he had never felt death approaching so clearly.

He could only fight for it!

All the internal Qi in his body boiled, his skin instantly turned crimson, and blood flowed from the cracks.

His heart pounded, adrenaline surged, and the edges of his vision seemed to be covered in a black mist.

As his eyes slightly closed, the two Fox spirits instantly accelerated!

Hah!!

With a furious roar, Qin Jiang suddenly opened his eyes, his killing intent soaring, tinged with a hint of madness!

You want me to die?!

Impossible!!

All of you, go to hell!

Tiger Form! Mountain Monarch Patrolling the Sky!

Roar—!!!

A slash descended, and the ethereal roar seemed to materialize, shaking the surrounding air to form white Qi waves!

Chii!

The blade descended, cutting from the left shoulder of the Fox spirit with intact claws, instantly severing the collarbone and directly slicing into its chest, black blood splattering.

At the same time, the sound of sharp claws tearing through flesh rang out, and the claws of the two Fox spirits pierced through Qin Jiang’s lower abdomen and right chest.

Pfft!

Qin Jiang spat out fresh blood, but his eyes were exceptionally fierce. He glared, then directly reached in and plunged his hand into the Fox spirit’s torn chest.

Die for me!

He crushed the heart with a squeeze! Black blood instantly stained his left arm, and his flesh was corroded.

[Potential Point +1.5]

A sudden notification appeared before his eyes. His eyes first showed shock, then joy!

He kicked out fiercely, sending the Fox spirit with the broken claw flying.

He pulled out his left arm, casually tossing the heart aside. The Fox spirit’s body emitted thick black smoke, turning into black powder in the blink of an eye.

Looking at his palm, his skin was more than half corroded, revealing raw red muscle, and a pungent sensation came from his arm.

Potential! Deduction! Five Animals Play!

Without hesitation, he directly poured the Potential Points into the Five Animals Play.

[Deduction in progress... Deduction complete.]

[Five Animals Play (Perfection) has advanced to Longevity Five Qi Skill (First Layer) (1/250)]

[Longevity Five Qi Skill (First Layer) (1/250)]

[Potential Points: 1.2]

Almost as soon as he saw the ’Deduction complete’ notification, Qin Jiang felt a surge of internal Qi gush from his five organs, flowing through his entire body in a breath.

This was a natural phenomenon that occurred after cultivating the Five Animals Play’s five forms to their Peak and integrating them into the Physical Body. Each form took over one organ, undergoing a qualitative change to become Five Qi.

A comfortable sensation spread through him. His breathing became long and deep, as if breaking through some kind of cage. His Physical Body had been sublimated, as if a connection had been established with this world.

A tingling itch came from the scratched areas all over his body; it was the broken skin repairing itself. Almost in the blink of an eye, all the wounds had healed. The scabs fell off, revealing new skin.

He looked at his arm; his skin was like white jade, smooth and delicate.

If seen from a distance, he was clearly a handsome young man, and even with his tattered clothes, his extraordinary demeanor was undeniable.

Gripping the black water, he looked at the Fox spirit that had been kicked away, which had just gotten up after hitting a tree.

It tilted its head, looking at the small pile of black ash at Qin Jiang’s feet, its gaze empty.

Swish!

Qin Jiang stepped forward, reaching the Fox spirit in three strides!

He brought down a powerful slash, carrying five kinds of Qi, faintly accompanied by the sounds of a tiger, bear, deer, ape, and bird.

The Fox spirit did not dodge or evade, merely tilted its head back, watching the black water descending. It slightly cocked its neck, and the blade cut diagonally along its neck, severing its entire left shoulder.

Black blood splattered, and along with the severed shoulder, half of its heart was also cut off.

The next moment, black mist wafted around the Fox spirit, turning it into a pile of black ash.

Hoo~~

Qin Jiang sat down on the ground, letting out a long sigh, his tense nerves slowly relaxing.

He survived.

What luck.

If it weren’t for the sudden increase in Potential Points at the last moment, he would probably be the one dead now.

Hm? No, that’s not right.

He frowned slightly. Why didn’t he get Potential Points for killing this Fox spirit?

He looked at the black ash at his feet. Could it be that the Potential Points weren’t generated after killing a Essence Spirit?

His gaze shifted back and forth between the two piles of black ash, feeling a bit confused. Do Essence Spirits turn into black ash after death?

This made him somewhat unable to understand.

How could a body of flesh and blood turn into ashes?

Shaking his head, he didn’t think about it anymore. In a world where Essence Spirits existed, things that defied common sense were normal.

Having truly experienced a brush with death, his psychological acceptance had improved greatly.

He took out the map from his懷, compared it with the terrain, and confirmed the location of the blood metal mine.

After walking through the dense forest for a while, he arrived at an open space. At the edge of the open space was a cave, with some hoes and pushcarts scattered outside.

Some of the wooden parts had already rotted away, leaving only the iron parts covered in rust.

It seemed that among the two Fox spirits he encountered earlier, the one whose claws were not broken was very likely the one Liu Yize mentioned.

After all, that one was considerably stronger in both power and combat skill compared to the other.

Looking at the cave, he stepped lightly. He couldn’t determine the situation inside the cave yet. If this was the lair of those two Fox spirits, there might be other Fox spirits present.

Entering the mine, he saw a faint, dim light in the distance, seemingly a corner.

He walked slowly, making no sound, even controlling his breathing to be extremely subtle.

Now that his Five Animals Play had advanced to Longevity Five Qi Skill, his control over his body had improved to another level.

After a while, the light inside the mine became increasingly obvious.

Finally, after walking several tens of meters, he reached a corner.

Leaning against the edge of the corner, Qin Jiang took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his embrace and placed it close to the ground, slowly pushing it out from the edge of the corner.

Using the reflection from the mirror, he vaguely saw the scene behind the corner.

It was a small, square mining space, and he could vaguely see pink curtains hanging down.

Adjusting the bronze mirror, he looked beneath the curtains, and a blurred female figure appeared in the mirror.
