Scripture of Days Past

Master Qiao, I need your help!

Qiao Zhi had already retreated to a boulder more than fifty meters away before employing the human and cat complementary technique.

Following Chu Qiguang’s recent progress on Jade Face Mountain, a third tentacle had emerged from his shadow, while only two extended from Qiao Zhi’s, indicating that Chu Qiguang had surpassed him in terms of pure physical prowess.

However, Qiao Zhi was still a far superior warrior in terms of both experience and technique.

The moment Chu Qiguang allowed Qiao Zhi to take control of his body, he could immediately feel his qi and blood circulating in a far more orderly manner.

He had no choice but to admit that Qiao Zhi was a much more skilled martial artist than he was.

If a fourth-state martial artist were fighting a fifth-state martial artist, no amount of skill would do them any good. However, since both Chu Qiguang and Yi Siman were fifth-state martial artists, Qiao Zhi’s superior skill as a martial artist should be enough to bridge the gap between Chu Qiguang’s three tentacles and Yi Siman’s five.

”Go ahead,” Chu Qiguang encouraged. The qi and blood in Yi Siman’s body instantly began to churn violently.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body had turned bright red, as if he were a demon that had emerged from the fiery depths of hell, waves of scorching heat were radiating from his skin.

Standing beside Yi Siman, Chu Youtian could even hear his heart pounding like a drum.

This instantaneous and violent eruption of qi and blood was not something an ordinary fifth-state martial artist was capable of. Instead, it could only be achieved through the Immortal Dao’s Baleful Blood Arts.

It was a self-harming martial art that damaged the body through the excessively violent circulation of qi and blood. When used in conjunction with powerful negative emotions, it triggered one’s basic survival instincts, allowing them to push beyond their physical limits.

Yi Siman’s aura rose once again as he activated the Baleful Blood Arts. The ground shattered beneath his feet, while his eyes became so bloodshot that the whites were almost completely red.

He pointed his saber at Chu Qiguang, and the fine runes etched across its surface suddenly became very blurry and indistinct.

It was as if the blade had been shrouded in a layer of cloud and mist, giving the saber an air of mystery.

Chu Qiguang, Qiao Zhi, and Chu Youtian all sensed extreme danger from the saber.

Yi Siman had learned the Immortal Dao’s Asura Saber Techniques, which allowed him to use his qi and blood to make his saber vibrate at an extremely high frequency. In this state, the saber could cut through almost anything, including weapons forged from iron, let alone the limbs of fifth-state martial artists.

No wonder His Highness was able to defeat Shen Guhong with only two strikes. The combination of the Baleful Blood Arts and the Asura Saber Techniques is truly unmatched in terms of its explosive power and lethality! Chu Youtian thought. His Highness is clearly enraged that Master Omniscient chose not to use a weapon. At this rate, there’s a very good chance that Master Omniscient could suffer severe injuries, or worse...

An anxious look appeared on Chu Youtian’s face. He was tempted to stop the battle, fearing that harming Master Omniscient would turn the fiends of Azure Sun County against them, but Yi Siman’s overwhelming aura left him unable to speak.

Meanwhile, Lulu, White Rice, and Big Head were standing on a distant tree, watching the battle from afar.

After channeling the Baleful Blood Arts, Yi Siman was becoming more fearsome by the second, while the flashes of lightning overhead were also growing increasingly intense.

The dark clouds had become so thick that it was as if day had suddenly turned to night. All the cat and dog fiends watching the battle felt extremely tense and apprehensive, instinctively tucking their tails between their hind legs in fear.

”That wolf fiend looks really strong...”

”Will our teacher be able to beat him?”

Just then, an explosive thunderclap rang out across the sky. At that exact moment, Yi Siman launched himself forward with tremendous force, crossing nearly twenty meters in an instant as he swung his saber at Chu Qiguang.

The saber swept through the air at extraordinary speed, and its blade was illuminated by a flash of lightning, making it look as though a bolt of lightning were crashing directly down upon Chu Qiguang.

The radiance from Yi Siman’s saber was so bright that it temporarily blinded Chu Qiguang. Thankfully, Qiao Zhi who was perched on a boulder several dozen meters away, could still see perfectly well.

He observed the two combatants from a third person perspective while continuing to control Chu Qiguang’s body, raising up Chu Qiguang’s right hand to grab the incoming saber.

A disdainful sneer appeared on Yi Siman’s face. He could already imagine his saber slicing cleanly through Master Omniscient’s hand before splitting him in two.

However, the situation suddenly took an unexpected turn as an invisible burst of force abruptly erupted from Chu Qiguang’s hand with a resounding bang.

Yi Siman was stunned by the abrupt development.

Gale force? He’s achieved such a high level of mastery of fist techniques that he can manipulate the air and release bursts of gale force? Since when has a fist technique master of this caliber existed in Spirit Province?

The thin layer of gale force collided with the edge of Yi Siman’s saber. The gale force was instantly torn apart with a loud bang, but Yi Siman’s saber was knocked to the side.
