Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 110: Chapter 70: A Lion Puts Forth Its Full Strength Even When Hunting a Hare

A flying dagger shot from the side, piercing straight into Zhao Ziyang’s temple. The handle sank in, and blood mixed with brain matter splattered out.

Zhao Ziyang was carried by the tremendous force of the throwing knife, his entire body flung like a rag doll, crashing into the tree trunk, lifeless.

His eyes were wide open, filled with terror and horror, unable to find peace in death.

”Yan’Er!”

The old man shouted loudly, heartbroken.

This was his most beloved grandson, the most outstanding among the younger generation of his lineage, reaching the Refining the Organs Realm at the young age of twenty-three.

With a few more years of training, he would soon break through to the Qi Blood Realm.

Yet he so easily died in front of him.

”Who dares spy from the shadows, show yourself!” the old man shouted loudly.

Despite his immense sorrow, he didn’t dare approach Zhao Ziyang’s body, instead remaining on high alert, watching his surroundings.

The assailant was very strong, definitely a powerhouse at the Qi Blood Gauze Layer level.

That knife just now, even he felt a great danger from it.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

There was no reply, only three icy cold throwing knives in response.

”Humph!”

The old man snorted coldly, using the Wolf Fang Mace in his hand to knock the throwing knives aside.

Only caught off-guard by the initial ambush, he seemed so bedraggled; now prepared, such low-grade concealed weapon tricks can’t touch him.

Scanning the forest, he couldn’t sense any trace of the opponent at all.

Not only that, but the opponent’s Lightweight Skill was remarkably good, barely making any noise.

The cold wind howled, and the rustling forest masked any subtle sounds.

”Who is this person, with such terrifying ability to conceal their aura, making it impossible to sense any Qi Blood fluctuation!” the old man’s expression grew solemn, his heart brimming with dread.

He prided himself on his prowess in concealing auras, but compared to the one in hiding, he was as insignificant as a child facing a grandmaster.

The opponent had just been hidden beside him, within a mere ten meters, yet he hadn’t detected a thing!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Three more throwing knives shot out, blocking the old man’s retreat.

The old man swiftly dodged, occasionally using the Wolf Fang Mace to deflect attacks.

”It’s useless. If your abilities are limited to this, you cannot subdue this old man.”

”Don’t let me discover your identity. Otherwise, I’ll bury your entire family with Yan’Er!” the old man spoke coldly, his eyes chillingly icy.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Another three knives flew out.

The old man used his Wolf Fang Mace to block, the immense power of the knives causing a slight numbness in his arms.

”Such strong force!”

The old man’s face grew even more serious.

He maintained high alert, gradually moving towards a clearing not far off.

The old man was a formidable power in the Zhao Family.

His expertise in the Poison Tao made even those with Qi Blood First Transformation fear him a little.

But in the dense forest, with the opponent relying on agile Body Technique and astounding aura-concealing capabilities, the old man couldn’t track them at all.

His knowledge in the Poison Tao was left useless, unable to be deployed.

Scent.

The old man sniffed, catching a faint familiar smell.

”Poison!”

”A strange poison even I’ve never seen. Yet, using poison in front of me? You’re too inexperienced!”

The old man sneered coldly.

Circulating his Qi Blood, he found its flow in his body slightly sluggish.

Though unaware of the exact poison, coming from the Zhao family, his understanding of toxins was profound, and he roughly knew how to mitigate the effects once symptoms showed.

Quickly rummaging through his bag, he retrieved a dark-brown Medicine Pill that could alleviate most poisons slowing Qi Blood.

Swoosh.

A throwing knife shot out sharply, piercing the void as it aimed for his face.

The old man shifted his body, dodging the knife, and swiftly tossed the Medicine Pill into his mouth.

Boom!

From the bushes, Lin Zheyu suddenly burst forth.

His Qi Blood surged and roared, pouring into his legs, unleashing terrifying power as his right leg swept across with a whistling gale, kicked towards the old man’s head.

Caught off guard, the old man couldn’t defend in time.

It was too fast, the speed almost unimaginable.

The opponent’s ability to conceal their aura was frighteningly strong, using the forest to hide and coordinating with incredible speed, they caught the old man completely off guard.

Puh.

Hit hard in the head, the Medicine Pill just tossed into his mouth spat out with a noise.

The immense force sent the old man flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, his vision spinning.

Overcome with dread, the old man, using his rich experience and strong will, suppressed his dizziness, rolling swiftly on the ground.

Quickly channeling Qi Blood into his legs, he started retreating rapidly.

But it was too late.

Psst!

With Lin Zheyu exploding into action, in a few quick steps, he’d reached the old man’s front, unleashing the Wild Bull Fist, the immense power of Qi Blood erupting from his arms.

Qi Blood roared, the astonishing aura swirling around Lin Zheyu.

The fist hit the old man’s chest with a crack, breaking ribs, the fist penetrating through, blasting clean through the old man.

The old man spat out blood.

As his vision slowly recovered, he finally saw clearly the face of his assailant, surprisingly the young man he just encountered.

”It’s... it’s you!”

His eyes widened, in complete disbelief as he took his last breath.

Even in death, he never understood how this young man, clearly just a Martial Artist at the Bone Forging Realm, suddenly erupted with power at the Qi Blood Gauze Layer level.

With his experience, he never imagined such a young individual could reach the Qi Blood Realm level.

Bang.

Casually tossing the old man’s body aside, Lin Zheyu finally let out a sigh of relief.

The Zhao Family people were tough to deal with; the poison on the opponent made him wary.

If the old man and that middle-aged man had remained together, Lin Zheyu would have been hampered in his actions.

”Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; never underestimate any opponent.”

Lin Zheyu murmured to himself.

If he hadn’t pretended to be weak from the start, never revealing strength beyond the Bone Forging level, successfully leading the middle-aged man away, he wouldn’t have been able to take them down so easily.

Lin Zheyu didn’t linger at the scene, quickly searched the body, then returned to where the middle-aged man died earlier, thoroughly searched there, and promptly left.
