Chapter 67: The First Encounter with Assassins upon Leaving

  Liáng Shān came out of the mountain gate and walked normally without flying with the wind.

  Liáng Shān yī lù shàng mò chá hēi jiāo shù.

  Translation: Liangshan Road is practicing dark jiao technique.

  Using Black Zombie Technique and Dark Phosphorus Technique in conjunction, the effect is multiplied. Last time's actual combat with Corpse God proved this point. If only using Black Zombie Technique or using Dark Phosphorus Technique alone, the effect would absolutely not be that good. Just like Qin Lang's two Flowing Star Hammers, one was fierce and powerful, the other was dark and gentle, making it harder for the opponent to endure, and also more difficult to defend against.

  Promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, Liangshan had a deeper understanding of the body's Qi.

  Yang Qi is used every day to transform into Wei Qi, protecting human life and fighting against all bad Qi. Bad Qi includes external invasions of the body, such as dampness, heat, evil Qi, etc., which take root in the body and are transformed into pathological Qi one by one. When the body is not good, it means that pathological Qi is lingering around. When a person's illness has reached a critical point, pathological Qi is transformed into stagnant Qi, at this time, people often have difficulty moving, severe cases of lower limb paralysis, or even whole-body paralysis. If stagnant Qi transforms again, it becomes death Qi.

  When the corpse was borrowed and returned to Liangshan's body, two-thirds of the aura was stiff and one-third was dead. Therefore, the black bead condensed by Liangshan is called the Black Stiffness Bead. Now there is no stiffness or death in Liangshan's body, but there is still a sick energy. Of course, this sick energy is different from that of ordinary patients, it is a deeply hidden sick energy, if all can be removed, then the physical health can be comparable to that of Jindan period cultivators.

  It's a great benefit to use the condensed black Qi pearl for internal adjustment of Liangshan's body. The black Qi pearl dissolves, and the black Qi spreads out, without hindering Liangshan's body, no stiffness or inconvenience, as if he was wearing a black cloak on the outside. Cultivators can identify people's boundaries by looking at their aura, but Cold Not Ding took a look and still thought Liangshan was in the initial stage of foundation building.

  Liangshan was not so cautious before, whether as a young man wandering in the alleys or as a famous socialite among noble ladies. At that time, Liangshan was reckless, but it's different here. A careful journey lasts forever, and recklessness can get you killed.

  Liáng Shān walked northwest on a single road, the bright spot of the blue jade pendant flickered, indicating that he was heading in the direction of Fú Cáng Cave.

  In the late afternoon, after crossing a mountain ridge and going down a slope, the sound of gurgling spring water could be heard in the distance. Ahead, more than 100 meters away in the mountain valley, there was a lush bamboo forest. Liangshan's eyes lit up, as the gentle mountain breeze rustled through the leaves, creating a soft whooshing sound. The beauty of this scene was comparable to the Bamboo Sea he had once seen in Shu.

  Liangshan hastened his pace and soon descended the mountain slope. Liangshan entered the bamboo forest, and the light above his head suddenly dimmed. Before him was a flash of light, which was a clear spring jumping down from the mountainside with a cheerful sound, emitting a crisp and pleasant echo. There, he saw an old man wearing a conical hat sitting under a rugged large rock washing his feet.

  The old man's feet were very white and tender, like a beautiful woman's feet. It was strange that Liangshan didn't feel anything out of the ordinary in his heart.

  On the opposite side of the stream, on a large rock, lay a big tiger, motionless, as if wanting to lower its head to drink from the spring water. But upon seeing the old man, it slightly raised its head, and in its eyes, there was no surprise, but rather a gentle kindness like that of a domestic cat.

  Liáng Shān didn't find it strange at all, and the image of "Year Painting Tiger" flashed through his mind.

  "My name is Ci San!" The old man's voice was a little hoarse.

  Liang Shan's footsteps slowed down, and a strange expression began to appear on his face.

  "I've never been involved in assassinations." The old man's voice was benevolent, but the content was murderous, and his movements remained meticulous as he washed his feet, a multitude of contradictions strangely unified within him.

  Liáng Shān just came back to his senses. Damn it, he's an assassin, and he's here to kill himself!

  Liangshan suddenly felt a chill run down his neck.

  "Don't worry, I'll give you time."

  "Are you going to kill me?" Liang Shan burst out laughing. He quickly calmed down, he wasn't some street thug from the past. This old man wasn't a Taoist priest, but a martial arts master, and the most formidable martial arts masters were also Innate Masters. How could Liu Ziming's two peak Innate Masters be any match for him?

  "Yes." The old man lifted his bamboo hat, turned around, looked at Liangshan and said: "You have a very clever disguise, you are in the middle of building your foundation, I will add money."

  Liáng Shān's face showed a look of surprise and he said: "You should find your client."

  "It's the same with you."

  Liáng Shān patted his forehead and said: "Alright, if you're willing to marry me, I'll consider it."

  The old man didn't get angry, but instead looked at Liangshan with interest for a while and said: "How did you figure it out?"

  "Your feet are so white and tender." Liang Shan's face showed a lewd smile.

  Liáng Shān wanted to provoke Cì Sān, but suddenly he felt a sense of danger. The woman's gaze was kind and gentle, but behind it was a thick dark cloud, and behind the cloud was the cold glint of a venomous snake.

  Ci San shook his head.

  "Alright, I'm a bit sensitive to women," said Liang Shan, wrinkling his nose. This was one of Liang Shan's old habits, which he had restrained a lot since coming to this world. Liang Shan usually did this when he encountered very challenging women, such as the underworld queen Du Ziqing. Of course, here, Liang Shan just wanted to provoke her.

  "Let's talk about it."

  "No matter whether it's cultivation or martial arts, only at the very peak is there no distinction between men and women. You haven't reached the peak, you're a woman, so I know, although your disguise is also very clever." What Liangshan said was the truth. There's a saying that goes: "Smell the fragrance and recognize the woman." Liangshan hadn't reached this realm, but it was almost the same, let alone the fact that Liangshan had also had a string of connections. So-called string connections were also frequency detection, women's frequencies were always different from men's.

  Ci San smiled and said, "I underestimated you."

  "Who hired you to kill me? But I know with your professional ethics you won't say, however can you tell me what will happen if you fail to kill me this time?"

  "My name."

  "Who is it?"

  Nodded three times.

  "That stab seventeen isn't going to kill seventeen times." Liangshan quickly understood the meaning of "stab three".

  "That's right, at most seventeen times."

  "That's good." Liang Shan smiled slightly.

  "I killed 56 people, 50 of them for the first time, five for the second time and one for the third time."

  "You're really something."

  "Ordinary."

  "When does it start?"

  "I can help you mail it home, just finish writing your will."

  "You're quite confident."

  "Confidence or not, it's all in a glance."

  His eyes gleamed, and for an instant, Liangshan felt as if he had been seen through.

  Liáng Shān's heart skipped a beat, who says that a high-ranking martial artist can't handle a cultivator with a higher boundary? This woman was like sharpening a sword while washing her feet. At first glance, she didn't seem to be anything special, but after exchanging a few words, her sharpness became even more intimidating, and it seemed like there was no end to her growth.

  "What if you kill me three times and I still don't die?"

  "Suit yourself!"

  "Then you have to marry me." Liang Shan smiled.

  "Okay."

  The Liangshan is going to collapse. This woman says something as if it has nothing to do with her, and her mood is completely undisturbed.

  Whoa, the bamboo leaves around the two suddenly pointed towards Liangshan as if pulled by an invisible force. With a swift kick, he seemed to move slowly at first, but in an instant, he was right in front of Liangshan, his sword tip directly reflecting in Liangshan's pupils.

  Whoa! Liangshan had never seen a sword move so fast before! This broke all his imagination about speed.

  Liangshan dodged to the side, and three strands of hair were suddenly cut off. The severed ends transmitted a scorching pain. Liangshan took off running. It was clear that he wasn't a match for his opponent, a judgment made in an instant. Instead of jumping over the creek, Liangshan circled around, making three turns like a jet plane circling through the clouds and mist, then vanished.

  This was the most beautiful move Liangshan had made since mastering the White Bone Flowing Cloud, even when that evil corpse god was chasing him from behind it wasn't this beautiful. However, with a whooshing sound, he flipped his three wrists and suddenly shook out eight swords, almost without pause accurately stabbing into Liangshan's eight illusions.

  The ninth one, Liangshan's true body, Liangshan's "ah" sound has been made.

  The finger must be paired with the true word to increase by a hundred or a thousand times. Liangshan finally found the "om" sound after great difficulty.

  Om is the sound of the earth, so on the earth, one can borrow the power of the earth. And "ah" is the heavenly sound, falling from the ninth heaven, when Liangshan met Qinlang last time, the sound of "ah" came out, but it's not really understood.

  Ah, it's really a very peculiar sound. It can express extreme fear and also extreme surprise, if the tone is more even, it has other meanings, and newborn babies make this sound as soon as they open their mouths.

  A flash of inspiration in Liangshan's mind, "ah" represents "birth", which is the vitality. Fear is a longing for life, and surprise is a joy for life.

  Ci San's figure was eerie and slow, like a hand suddenly stretching out from the ground to grab her foot. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liangshan burst into the air like a cannonball.

  These perverted women are too powerful, Liangshan flew up and thought that this time she would be helpless. Turning back to look, she was waving her fist, fortunately not catching up. Suddenly, Liangshan fell down with a somersault.

  Originally, the foundation-building stage's Wind Control Technique required wind, unlike the Golden Elixir stage's Wind Escape that didn't need wind. That abnormal woman swung her fist, and the air instantly solidified; even a Golden Elixir stage expert could have escaped, but Liang Shan could only fall down. Just as Liang Shan saw a sword light flash, pointing at his falling location, he was about three to four meters above the ground, and it seemed like he was being sent over.
