Wuxia: An Immortal Taught Me Scientific Martial Arts Training

Chapter 27 Collapse of Life and Death

"Why?!"

Dust filled the cave, and even the jade statue was scarred by flying stones.

Wang Hong stared blankly as Lei Long's twisted body fell off the stone wall, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

It's not entirely Wang Hong's fault; anyone who saw Xiao Xuan send Lei Long flying with a single palm strike would be astonished.

"Releasing true energy outwards—that's something only a seventh-realm martial artist can barely manage..."

When Wang Hong saw Xiao Xuan turn around, he immediately wanted to take a few steps back, but for some reason his body wouldn't obey him.

"Move faster!"

Seeing Wang Hong's disheveled appearance, Xiao Xuan chuckled.

"You didn't expect that, did you? Even I was quite surprised."

"What kind of palm technique is this?"

"Want to learn?" Xiao Xuan drew his sword and leaped away in a flash. "May you be reborn as a human in your next life!"

"No! No, no! I was wrong!"

When Wang Hong saw Xiao Xuan raise his left palm to attack, he immediately lost his composure and instinctively put his arms across his chest.

Little did he know that Xiao Xuan's palm strike was just a feint; the sword in his right hand was the real killing blow.

A moment ago, Xiao Xuan's move certainly wouldn't have been able to kill with a single sword strike.

But now Wang Hong is so frightened by that palm strike that he has lost all will to fight, so he is doomed to die.

In a flash of light, the cold steel sword had already pierced towards Wang Hong's center, cutting in from under his arms and forcefully slashing to cripple both of Wang Hong's wrists.

Then the sword tip moved slightly upwards and pierced Wang Hong's throat directly. Blood gushed out and poured onto the cold blade, creating a wisp of white smoke.

"Is it finally... over?"

Xiao Xuan sheathed his sword and took a few steps back. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he felt a little unreal.

As the adrenaline subsided, his right hand began to tremble, and he felt a bone-chilling cold throughout his body.

Xiao Xuan's right sleeve was torn, revealing the active ring on his wrist. It was this ring that had unleashed the true energy stored up during this time, allowing him to instantly kill Lei Long.

I was really lucky. If I hadn't gotten these wristbands first, I wouldn't be standing here now.

"Deng Fei truly deserves the title of a celestial being; the things he created possess such power."

"Moreover, the main purpose of these two wrist guards is to cultivate the 'Scientific Martial Arts Training Method,' and perhaps this skill is really as miraculous as Deng Fei said."

However, after that palm strike, the active ring couldn't be used a second time. Otherwise, Xiao Xuan would have wanted Wang Hong to experience being shattered to pieces.

Xiao Xuan adjusted his breathing, glanced at Wei Ziheng's corpse, sighed, and then walked towards the stone door.

Su Qing was ambushed by Lei Long and should still be inside. She has the antidote worm on her body, which Xiao Xuan must obtain.

As Xiao Xuan passed through the stone gate, he glanced around and saw Su Qing leaning against the podium, half of her body covered in blood, but she still seemed to be breathing.

Xiao Xuan slowly reached out, and Su Qing seemed to hear someone coming. She slowly opened her eyes, and her pupils dilated noticeably when she saw Xiao Xuan.

"I never imagined... that you would be the one to survive in the end..."

"The Thunder Dragon is dead. I've avenged you. Can you give me the antidote, the mother worm?"

Xiao Xuan didn't say much and went straight to the point.

Although he knew that the Xuan Yang Sect behind Su Qing was the mastermind behind this conspiracy, Xiao Xuan couldn't bring himself to take revenge on the woman who had saved him the moment he opened his eyes.

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Su Qing smiled with relief.

"I never intended for you to live in the first place, so why bother creating the antidote worms?"

"this!"

Xiao Xuan's face immediately turned cold, but Su Qing spoke again, her voice weak and pitiful.

"I have... a wooden box on me. Please... help me return the contents to the Five Immortals Sect."

"I'm about to die, how can I help you?"

"The Heart-Eating Gu is not an incurable poison. You have six months to find someone skilled in medicine or poisons to help you expel the Gu worms."

"Why don't you just teach me directly?"

"You don't know how to refine Gu, you're useless..."

As she spoke, Su Qing slumped down, as if she could no longer muster any strength.

"In my life... I've been deceived by men, and I've deceived many men... My body is like a withered flower... I never thought... I could die amidst a sea of ​​flowers... I hope... you won't deceive me anymore..."

Su Qing slowly closed her eyes, her voice grew softer and softer until even her breathing disappeared.

"Hello!"

Xiao Xuan reached out and found that the other person had no heartbeat or breathing.

Lei Long's short sword pierced through Su Qing's chest from behind. The fact that Su Qing had survived this long shows that she was quite strong.

"Six months...is that good news?"

Knowing that everything was alright, Xiao Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry."

He reached into Su Qing's clothes and found a small box the size of his palm in the hot blood.

Xiao Xuan carefully opened the box, and inside, as he had imagined, were specimens of a scorpion and a centipede.

"The hint mentioned that Su Qing stole two types of Five Elemental Poisons from the Five Immortals Sect, so this should be it."

After packing the box, Xiao Xuan was about to go out to check on the situation when he suddenly heard a jolt in his ear.

"Bang!"

A sudden loud noise shook the entire cave.

A violent shockwave followed, sending rocks flying everywhere. A rock the size of a fist struck Xiao Xuan squarely in the lower back.

"hiss!"

Xiao Xuan gritted his teeth in pain. Explosions could be heard not far away. When he turned around, the stone cave was beginning to collapse.

"Who lit the explosives?"

The explosive barrels that Xiao Xuan saw in the Jade Statue Cave alone were enough to blow up the entire mountain.

With rocks constantly falling from above and the entire cave crumbling, Xiao Xuan couldn't care less about anything else.

The explosion must have already spread to the neighboring area, which is the very heart of the mountain. In no time, that area will surely be reduced to ruins.

Despite the pain, Xiao Xuan immediately ran to the stone door leading to the bedroom, entered the password, and went inside.

Just as he ran out of the tunnel, the cave behind him collapsed completely.

After entering Deng Fei's bedroom, Xiao Xuan didn't even bother to take Deng Fei's remains with him.

Now that the jade used for lighting has fallen down, this place is about to suffer a major disaster.

With the sound of collapse constantly ringing in his ears and choking dust filling his vision, Xiao Xuan groped his way through the dim environment and found the stone door leading to the cave behind the mountain.

"Luckily, we notified Wen Qingqing and the others back then, otherwise those children..."

Xiao Xuan sped along, and was about to reach the final cave when suddenly a huge rock collapsed above his head.

[Danger]

Xiao Xuan smacked his lips and immediately slid over.

But the stones fell one after another, their speed far exceeding that of Xiao Xuan.

Seeing that the falling boulder was about to block the road, Xiao Xuan had no choice but to rush forward.

Just as he was about to be hit by the boulder, Xiao Xuan subconsciously raised his hand to defend himself. At this moment, the spiritual ring on his left hand suddenly released several streams of true energy, forming a protective barrier above his head.

"puff!"

Although the boulder was blocked, the impact still seriously injured Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan, who had managed to break free of the cave, lost consciousness after taking a few steps.
